[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
I had an xperia sola - the worst phone i have ever had. A friend of mine got U and sold it two weeks ago.

I will never buy low end sony again, ever.

If i were you i would get the samsung one.

EDIT: And dont you ever install ROM for one phone to another...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stopro:
ok thx but this gonna be for my gf she txt ring fb and some browsing and some pix and she like pink :p thatsway im asking obviously its not hi-end just want to root put some nice fast room and that it anyway thx a how with talk sound quality and camera behave
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
My mum uses hers for exactly the same. I've tried all sorts of firmware and unlocked her bootloader while trying. The best rom for the U in my (and her opinion) is GB-Rocks. Definitely recommend putting that on if you get one. All the ics roms are just rubbished, and the JB roms are still full of bugs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stopro:
ok thx i will check it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatboyslim:
Here's the situation, I've been looking for the older stock roms either 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 so I can get my msl.

I've exhausted the options out there for getting it with the apps, terminal, adb and so on, so I'm looking for a stock old rom in hopes ill get the msl, I've found links here and there but there all broken or updated with 4.1.2

Also think redrums lean 4.0.4 would give the msl?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If you go to TPR thread The People's Rom you can flash any pre 3.10 TPR.. And it will work. Let me see if I can link you. Here you go http://d-h.st/pP3

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazy1818:
Hi all, I have looked all over the place, I need help.

Here are my Current "About Device"

Hardware Version: I800.0.3

Model Number: SCH-I800

Firmware: 2.3.5

Baseband Version S:I800.0.3V.E104

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-dsb9938.VZW.GTab.E104.1.1.2

I have looked at the "back to stock" threads, multiple DL links are no longer available.

I had rooted, and Flashed a "Cube" ROM quite some time ago. A while after that I messed something up with the built in "overclocking" type app. Set it to the side and kind of forgot about it. Fast forward to know, I would like to get it working for my son to use, but there are a few issues that keep us from using it. I kept getting all sorts of random force closes, so I was able to get in recovery, and tried to wipe everything. This somewhat worked for a while, but now I am getting a force close from Facebook (which isn't installed, and I have narrowed it down to a contact synching issue) and I keep getting a popup for an OTA system update. I have tried to do the update, but I think the recovery is keeping it from completing.

Long story short, I know this device is a bit older, but where should I start from? I am ok with a fresh, wipe everything start. Not looking for a crazy ROM, but just a everything works ROM. I am ok with GB, ICS, etc, I just want it to be fully functioning. I plan on adding the tablet on my account so I can stop tethering for my son to use it. This has been the only device I have ever needed to ask for help, I am just not so used to the ODIN type stuff.

Thanks in advance.

There's a very new thread that should help you get back to stock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383201

As far as what to put on it, I highly recommend this CM10.1 ROM. It runs very smoothly, but if you want to activate data, I think you have to go back a bit for a working kernel. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2043421 The CDMA version is the p1c.

I don't know if you have come across this yet, but unlike any device I had flashed before, the GTab recovery has to be flashed with a corresponding kernel. You can't just flash the recovery to get into recovery.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mausertm:
I installed the rom from stock a couple of days ago, and the phone restarts whenever i try to watch any video from the gallery, or a youtube link with the player

What i did so far:

Disabled hwa for youtube, restarted. The app doesnt seem to be working properly, it doesnt seem to be applying changes, though it unchecks the apps.

Installed Adobe Flash Player downloaded from adobe's site. Youtube keeps restarting, aswell as the gallery video player.

Installed dolphin mini, chrome and played youtube videos from the navigator. Still restarting.

Installed MX Player, set it to sw only, seems to work for local videos, youtube still restarts the phone.

A couple of things i noticed from other posts:

People that installed the rom from another version dont seem to have the problem.

hwa aplication needs to be restarted a couple of times, never showed adobe flash for the support.

I guess the problem is in a particular library, that doesnt get step over when you upgrade roms, and the issue could be a memory leak of some sort because all the players play atleast a couple of seconds of the video.

I cant post on developers, it doesnt let me till i get 10+ posts.

Anyone has any idea of what to try? Maybe pinpoint me to the library that could be the issue, and where to get it / replace it

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusct82:
In mxplayer settings sw decoder set it for both local and for network.I've set it for audio too be sure.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mausertm:
Did that, but i cant get any youtube workaround

Any ideas about the libraries?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mausertm:
Well what i tried to get a workaround to this problem is this:

Uninstalled the youtube app, using a root uninstaller or whatever.

Set the browser as default to watch videos from the site, it works fine.

Downloaded MX Player, set everything to software, works fine, not great, but fine.

Another issue ive found is that the CPU governor or scalling freezes my settings whenever i try to change its type, i tried a couple of apps like setCPU, and the problem remains. I can live with that.

Ill post here any news i get from the phone, since i cant post on the devs thread yet
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmith542:
Workaround?

rm /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so

(of course backup first ;) )

This seems to provide a quick solution.

(With Deadline scheduler & HWA on...)

PS: By comparing 20130703 vs. 20130709 libstagefright.so as Quarx suggested few days back they are quite the same according to their sums. Differences are libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so, libstagefright_soft_aacenc.so, libstagefright_yuv.so, libstagefrighthw.so - on which *hw.so does for me...)
[Nexus 7 General] lpforte:
Hey guys I'm looking to sell my old nexus 7 and pick up the new one, but I'm not sure if I should wait to get it directly from Google or just pick it up at a regular store now.

I remember google being awesome about warranty/defect issues with my first nexus 7, free shipping back and forth, sending a new device first, etc. But I'm not too familiar with Best Buy's warranty/return policies. Specifically if they accept returns for little things like a stuck pixel and such. Anyone know if it would be an issue getting it from Best Buy(or any other store for that matter)?
[Nexus 7 General] danvee:
I see no reason why Google would treat the new one any differently.

If you buy from the PlayStore, all is as you said.

If not, after the initial store return policy and assuming you don't purchase BB's extended warranty, you'll have the mostly hit and miss experience of dealing with ASUS.

FWIW, I'd consider buying from Walmart.

Price is the same, but, for $28 with purchase, you can get a 2 year drop and spill warranty that's eerily similar to Square Trade's which is $60 or BB's which is more.

You also get a 14 or 15 day no questions asked return policy.

Just my 2¢
[Nexus 7 General] esema1o:
Best buy is like 50 dollars i think is best uget 2 years warranty :D
[Nexus 7 General] danvee:
How is that better than $28 for 2 years?

Also, as an aside, BB isn't doing too well right now. Shutting down stores. Will they be around to honor the $59 warranty in a year or do? IDK.
[Nexus 7 General] Richieboy67:
I have preorderd with Google. I like knowing I have a year to replace if needed. They have always been quick and good with that.

We seem all to be waiting for a version to leak of the CE 5.0 for our devices, and at the same time we seem to think that this will not happen due to the fact our providers are going to want to ship it on new devices and not upgrade the old ones.

Well Mwang put me in the mood to do some searching and this is what I found.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/getstart/bring2market/plan/learn/windowsce/default.aspx

Well it seems that you can download a 120 days trial version which would mean you would have to flash your device in 120 days.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/getstart/evaluate/default.aspx

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
I tried this a while back.

Its not as easy as it sounds, firstly you have to correctly setup all the drivers for the hardware.

I wouldnt garantee that it has stuff like the phone apps ready to be compiled in either.

lastly, you have to make it into the correct format for the installer prog, I dont know if the package will output a himaupload.exe compatible rom.

Let me know how you guys do though, it would be nice to compile our own OS!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BoSJo:
Im sure it's a 120 days from the day you install it on your Desktop PC :?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rico83:
definatly not as easy as you think!

i had the older version and i made some images for X86 machines (to make them thin clients)

you need every driver for the device that it will be installed on so theres alot more required than just the platform builder,

check it out anyway, its still fun to use and you can make custom CE's for old PII machines (routers, thin clients etc) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HDuser:
Well Bosjo, would that not give you 119 days to post a BA Rom?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BoSJo:

Well i dont know, but Im guessing that the ROM itself will expire 120 after Desktop installation
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HDuser:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HDuser:
@Manich

I truly respect your post and I am very much aware of not having your knowlege, insight, understanding, hacking competence.

That is why I am amember of this forum, to learn from people like yourself in order to try and get the best for my device. To share what I have learnt with others (I use wiki for that).

So please, please share with us a better idea of how we can get 2005 on a BA. It would save me a lot of time searching on the net, uploading sdk that are of no use as well as moving files on the ftp.

A "it cant be done answer" I could accept if it came from somebody else without your knowlege and I remember reading that somebody wrote something along the lines if it can run it can be cracked (smile).

With alll due respect

MDAIIIUser
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Generally it cannot be done as you don't have a board support package for BA or other compatible platform. With lots of hacking and reverse engeneering you can write all drivers and all applications absent from Platform Builder (like cprog, SMS client, SIM toolkit, etc), but it would be only a waste of time. It would take as much time and would be as useless as making a Linux for BA. Better buy a device that originally ships with OS you want.

The only hope for getting WM5 on BA is that some person from MS would offer it or someone would get a device with such a ROM. Even a locked device with a signed ROM would help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HDuser:
Ok, lets try another approach here.

The way I read you is that the problem is intergrating the funtions of the BA (phone, sms, camera) due to the fact we cant obtain the drivers (as per above).

However would it not be fair to say that there should be tools around that could get wm5 on a BA and thus turn the device into a dumb Pocket PC. (no phone, sms ect)

I for one would have no problem with backing up my rom, flashing it with wm5 just to play with the OS.

Alas that is what I understand when I read the stuff that I posted at the start of this thread. Please correct me.
