[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icebear8:
I know its there but I want to see what it really looks like not a 3D render of it, it looks like a solid brown and not glossie from the website
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] resurektz:
Brown? I thought it was red? At least that's what it looks like on the site. Either way I think it looks ugly. I was gonna get white but I feel as if it will get dirty while im hunting therefore i bought black
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icebear8:
if you highlight the color on the website it says brown, i think its called Autumn brown
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] resurektz:
Oh lol I need to learn to pay attention to detail. It came out a few days before I got my phone and they didnt have them in store yet. Ill check tomorrow if they do and if they do ill upload some pics

i went to my store today but they said it was a online deal and don't have them in stores.

Hey guys,

I know the dev scene is pretty bleak here. I already had the android 4.3 jellybean source code synced on my laptop, since I was creating builds for my Nexus.

I tried for the SP, but then I realized that there is no device tree present. I found one by Krabappel but it was incomplete (or atleast I think so). It refers to 2 other extract-files.sh, but for the life of me I can't figure out which ones.

I know there are a few devs here, so can one of them help me out here? How to I get the blobs for the phone?

If I get that going, we can start with an AOSP build and then keep adding stuff to it.

Let me know. \

Cheers! :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
I tried building cm10.1 for the sp, but could not get past the kernel logo. Even the recovery didn't work.

If you want the blobs, I can upload them somewhere. I had extracted them from the current 4.1.2 implementation on the device.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nil1511:
the extract-files.sh are in the below repo

If you want to learn. It would be best to clone the Doomlord git and then read the files and scripts that are present there. This will give you the knowledge you may need to proceed further.

the git for our processor msm8960t is already present on github. Also download the kernel sources and drivers provided by Sony themselves from their developerworld page
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
You mean the kernel sources or the cm / aosp sources ? Can you provide a link.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
I did not use krabappel's device files. I had based my stuff on the Xperia T. I'll try this probably tonight.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nil1511:
Can you push your device file on github
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
I'm behind a very nasty proxy which makes it super hard to push/pull files from github. Instead of pulling i just download the zip archives.

I'll check out ways to push files though.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
Man, I keep running into the error! Ahh.. I think we need a better device tree.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
Try getting the yuga tree, and change yuga to huashan, and fusion3 to viskan wherever possible.

This should not be straightforward. You will have to make some tweaks also.

That *might* work.

You mean coping the kernel sources files to kernel/sony/huashan right ? I did the same thing.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
Hmm....and did you define the kernel building path in the boardconfig.mk?

"你看到了没? 爱让我流胆怯的泪..."

"Have you seen it? Love has made me cry cowardly tears..."
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
yes. The kernel was getting built. I was able to see a boot logo on the screen. FreeXperia/Sony logo in this case. And then it would hang. Once I got a bootloop. I was messing around with the ramdisk to see if any hacks get it working.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
Did you implement the changes needed for a CM kernel from its stock sources? I'm not sure of the changes, though. Each kernel differs.

"你看到了没? 爱让我流胆怯的泪..."

"Have you seen it? Love has made me cry cowardly tears..."
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
No. I knew there were changes but I never knew what they were ? I asked a few people in a few threads but was not able to decipher.

Do you have any idea what sort of changes are required. ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
I'm not sure what changes Sony kernels need. You might want to see other Sony phones that are recent and have CM10.1, and take a look at their source differences in stock and CM.

"你看到了没? 爱让我流胆怯的泪..."

"Have you seen it? Love has made me cry cowardly tears..."
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
Did you first flash the kernel and then flash the rom?

Coz sony phones need the kernel to be flashed first.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
I have a feeling it's not that.....
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
It was definitely related to the ramdisk or recovery, as even the leds were not lighting up.

Is there any way to debug stuff from way down there ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZakooZ:
Last time I checked the CM tools build a usable ramdisk for you. Xperia Z ramdisk also probably works.

Check "how to logcat" guides and use "cat /proc/kmsg" from a shell to get the android and kernel logs. The ctrl+f "E/" or "W/" to find the error (depends on the format of the logs, but something like that, E is for error, W is for warning)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
But how do I get hold of those log files ? Phone fails to boot, fails to connect to adb, the only option is to flash stock rom :( erasing the logs.

[MENTION=4994578]sarkar1990[/MENTION] From what I can make from the make files, the file zImage should be a prebuilt kernel, though I may be wrong.

UPDATE: So.. I was able to build a flashable zip using krabappel's git, but it fails to even light up the screen and vibrate. :(:(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
That means the ramdisk is incompatible....we're going to have to change it somemore....I'll try and ask for help around, while you guys continue what you're doing....

"你看到了没? 爱让我流胆怯的泪..."

"Have you seen it? Love has made me cry cowardly tears..."
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
No adb?

Try

$ adb logcat

the logcat will be in platform-tools in your sdk folder.

Without logcat it ill be mighty difficult. We need it to boot atleast. Try pushing device files to a github or zip and send ém over.

I will be busy till Monday with a development project I am currently working on. (client's an ass).

I will try again after Monday. So keep me posted here.

Cheers!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
Nope. adb fails. I'll upload the files tomoro or on Sunday.

Now trying to base the build on Yuga instead krab's tree.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
Cool let me know how it goes.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket_:
Building based on the yuga tree..

I'm running into header errors related to qcom video and audio caf drivers.

So for now discarded audio and switched video to legacy.

UPDATE: Building based on the Yuga tree fails the same way as Krab's tree does. It does not even light up / vibrate. Complete dead.

When I had based my code on Xperia T, atleast I could see the logo. So gonna try that soon.

[MENTION=4994578]sarkar1990[/MENTION] When you say proprietary blobs, you mean the files extracted by ./extract-files script right ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
[MENTION=2437671]eeehaw[/MENTION]

Yep that's what I meant. Let me give the 4.3 Yuga device tree a try. May or may not work.

Hello, a friend of mine wants me to root his phone. Install a sense 5 rom or something else.

Could someone tell me about the issues with trying to unlock the boot loader via something called moonshine (explain what this is exactly maybe)

How does this differ from the HTC devunlock methods.

Things along that line. I've done a bit of research on it and I was hoping for maybe some updated clarification on of this.

Anyone having this issue?

I leave the tablet when I go to work. When I get home it is non responsive. I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to reboot it.

Is this a setting that can be turned off?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lost_gollum:
Do you have Netflix installed on it?

There was a thread on reddit which said that this is happening because the Netflix app locks the CPU when in sleep mode. But at the same time I haven't seen this issue on my tablet. The OP on the reddit thread did mention he was testing it with chromecast though.

Current solution was to uninstall Netflix. Worth a shot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PMentior:
Mine did that yesterday. After I got it charged up enough to power up I found that the calendar app had locked up my CPU and drained ~60% of my battery according to the battery stats in settings.

Thanks guys.

My battery does not drain. It just becomes unresponsive.

I do have Netflix installed. I will see if uninstalling fixes the issue.

I haven't noticed any battery drain or locking while idle before I rooted and after I installed PA. I have to say though, the battery life on these are incredible. Forgot to charge it last night and it's still around 90-95% battery.

Anyway, I have to agree with the others, there's probably a wakelock going on. Check your battery statistics to see what's causing your wakelock.

I've got a similar problem. Recently (since the latest update), my device will be unresponsive to touch when I wake it up. It has only happened a handful of times, but enough to be a problem. The screen will rotate, and it will respond to side button inputs, but no touch. Every time has been after a prolonged sleep, and the only fix is to restart the device. My device is on the charger, so the battery is full. I do have Netflix installed, but have had since day 1 (actually day -2 since they released it early) and never had the issue before this last update.

I had the same issue on day one right after my purchase...

Drained it to about 5%, charged it whilst the unit was on when I left for work the next morning. Got back from work and it was completely dead. Took it back for an immediate exchange.

System update was installed right after the initial bootup so I think it was a dodgy batch.

New one has been running great but I noticed that the 3d graphics were especially bad before it died so I don't know it the GPU had died on me?

Hopefully its not a common fault!

Have you tried reflashing Google Apps?

Reboot to recovery, clear cache/dalvik, reflash GApps, clear cache/dalvik again to be sure all is tidy.

Other than that you can always retry the whole process i.e. CM and Apps

I know this is fixable since I can still get into recovery and download mode. At this point I would even just go back to stock at least that way I could get rooted again through the toolkit.
