[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Polycom C4:
Hi Everybody

Looking for ideas, help and suggestions for a little Project I have given myself called Project Barebones....Shall I explain a little further said Mr Holmes to Watson...:confused:

Iv got a little experience with Custom ROMs from playing around with them on my other phone's and decided to challenge myself the of creating a basic little GPS and ANT+ bike computer , the main reason being. I’m a cheapskate and don't want to fork out over £250 for a Garmin 800 GPS and ANT+ bike computer as I don’t really need it but like the idea of it as keep on getting lost…..plus I like to have a dabble with phones, ROM and gadgets in general. That’s the reason you are probably reading this post as well.

I have bought myself a Sony Ericsson X10 Pro U20i and two spare batteries off Ebay. This is due to the relatively small size and it was only £20. It’s not in great shape but is fully functional and the point of this project was to make a home made GPS that is cheap, reliable and will actually work at its sole purpose of being a GPS. My initial idea is to use a Custom ROM should it be out there or with the Permission from an owner, to strip it apart and leave the bare essential required to function as a little stand-alone unit hence the Barebones reference. I don’t really want o go into the land of creating a ROM as don’t have the time these day plus I have a feeling id be inventing the wheel again.

Parameters for the unit are simple:

One Android operating system no lower than 2

One GPS software package

GPS & Wi-Fi capability only

Bluetooth capability for the ANT +

Keyboard functionality

Simplest launcher possible

Access to the Playstore as some apps will not work without the it being installed. IE Strava

Simplest web browser

The unit will not need to be able to make calls, text or even be able to work of a mobile network as Wi-Fi will be the only comms required.

I think my main obstacle will be the ANT+ as the phone is capable of it, as defined in the original OS of the phone as publicised over the net

Any help would be great appreciated as I’m a novice in the understanding of ROM and Android at this level and to anybody who’s reading this thinking oh I’ve seen this before, just point me in the right direction as I can’t find it after searching for a few days.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modpunk:
Hi,

two weeks ago I cherry-picked the patches which are needed to have TRIM support for encrypted partitions using dm-crypt. They worked just fine and the speed improvement after calling 'fstrim -v /data' was tremendous.

Then I recognized that someone else already pushed them to CyanogenMod. The patches are sitting there and nobody feels responsible to add them to the tuna kernel. So here I am to try to call for help. If you build CM and have an encrypted partition please test them and give your REVIEW+.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilarrain:
I wouldn't mind some credit.

Greets,

"someone else"

Seriously speaking, I've submitted those patches to CM's gerrit more than 2 months ago, with little to none attention. Probably the CM Inc. have priority over any serious feature.

I've also commented the availability of this patches on franco.kernel 2 months ago, and recently submitted a pull request on Github: https://github.com/franciscofranco/Tuna_JB_pre1/pull/1 Please comment to get franco's (and other kernel developer's) attention.

Also, please comment on CM's gerrit to get the device's maintainer attention: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/owner:%22Ignacio+Larrain%22+status:open,n,z

No, it wasn't. Fstrim is enabled on AOSP by default for all partitions (including encrypted ones), but AOSP encryption is built over dm-crypt, for which alow_discards wasn't introduced until kernel 3.1 (we are stuck on kernel 3.0). All other Nexus devices have fstrim enabled even on encrypted partitions, despite the potential security issues (reading the discarded blocks 'may' theoretically let you reverse the decryption key, thus enabling you to read the whole partition. In my opinion, a small trade off for making encryption usable).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mpokwsths:
So, ilarrain, what are the benefits of having TRIM with dm-crypt on a normal device (not a fully encrypted one)?

By the way, running a version of my kernel with your commits included for 12 hours now. No problems whatsoever.

There is also a way to overclock maybe?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
nope.. simply it only changes some values of the original pegasusQ governor, overclock is a feature of the modded kernel witch has the correct code in its modules

so, no modules no oc

btw, 4 cores at 1.6ghz is not a common situation, so, an overclock could only increase the consuption since 1 core goes to an OC value witch is to high..

you have to know, more is the freq, more and more is the power consuption

a simply ex, 1 dualcore at X freq absorbs less energy than 1 core at 2X freq.. but, the real teorical computation power is the same..

multithreading is to prevent high battery drain caused by too high freqs

Stock kernel that can go with N7100ZSUEML1 ?

Would you happen to have a link to somewhere I can download a stock kernel that can go with N7100ZSUEML1 ? My custom counter is resetting to 1 even after Triangle away, as I don't have stock kernel.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjpowles:
Hi All

Having had every previous version of the Galaxy S, I've finally gotten around to getting the S4.

I've been reading up on all of the extra security issues this device now has (a la Sony) and am disappointed that I can't be as flash happy as I like to be for fear of voiding the warranty.

Anyway, I'm on Vodafone UK and am running an old firmware, XXUAMDD. Kies is offering me an update to MGG, but I know this will lock the bootloader.

So I'm wondering if there is any point in upgrading now? Ideally I'd like to have 4.3 running, rooted and warranty still valid, but I think at the moment this may be asking too much.

Any views welcome please!

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] difyel:
Well my advice is simple , if it s not broken do not update. there are no differences between those 2 versions apart from having a locked bootloader and the pain in the ass knox.

The mgg firmware will also give you the ability to move apps to sdcard but foldermount is a better alternative that will work fine with your version.

Hi,

I downloaded the 4.3 update OTA and when I try to install it, the phone boots into TWRP. I don't know where the OTA update saves.

Does anyone know where I can find the file or how to not restart into TWRP when trying to do the update?

Thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:

You must have the stock recovery and a bootloader locked/relocked for install OTA...

Hi [MENTION=4647967]Guich[/MENTION], couldn't he just pull the firmware package from the zip file and flash it in fastboot RUU mode, I was wondering, cause I may need to this for a friend, cause he can't get S-Off atm.

need to know your version, post a "fastboot getvar all" but remove IMEI and serial number before posting.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
The firmware will upgrade the hboot etc, not the OS :)

And, however, in s-on you can flash only the zip signed by HTC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb_guy:
I just flashed the stock recovery and installed the OTA, left the bootloader unlocked. Then flashed TWRP and re rooted. Locked bootloader was fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tase25:
Hi, not sure what that means. Sorry.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
To be able to apply an OTA, unless I'm mistaken, you need three prerequisites:

1- go back to "stock rom"

2- go back to "stock recovery"

3- lock/relock your bootloader

then you will be able to apply the OTA successfully. Using a "custom recovery" (TWRP or CWM) will not allow the OTA to install.

from you're initial post, it looks like you are already on "stock rom" but with "custom recovery" (TWRP). you need to replace TWRP with "stock recovery" (note that this will wipe your internal storage)

in order to find out which recovery is stock for you, running a "fastboot getvar all" (removing IMEI and s/n before posting pls) will show which firmware version you are on, so that we can point you to the correct "stock recovery"

the command is run when your phone is in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, connected to your PC, and then from your PC you type something like "C:\ADB\fastboot getvar all" depending where you saved the adb sdk.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tase25:
Hi, how do you flash stock recovery?

If I do that, would I lose all of my information on the phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:

Most probably yes, last time I flashed stock recovery it wiped my internal storage.

Can anyone help a noob?

I recently purchased a Galaxy S4 from verizon and rooted it using the VRUAME7 Build. However, all the bloatware that remains on the phone is making me want to flash Cyanogenmod.

Problem:

Using ROM Manager (which has always worked on my previous phones) every time I flash into recovery mode it flashes onto Samsung Recovery 3e NOT into TWRP, which I have flashed on my phone and need to use to install any custom ROMS.

Could anyone tell me how to disable Samsung Recovery 3e so I can use TWRP and flash the new ROM?

Or how, using Samsung Recovery 3e, I can flash a new ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Your only option at present is Safestrap. It's the only recovery that allows custom roms on the ME7. Developer is Hashcode.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=null

Also a thread about Roms that work with Safestrap. CM is not one of them. But you will enjoy Hyperdrive, Eclipse and others. Everything from a near AOSP to TouchWiz to the max.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alburdet619:
I have an S4 that, of course, before I started this journey I updated to the MI1 build.

Just going through this myself. I have Safe Strap 3.6.2 flashed and am trying to get CM on my phone. Every time I boot up after flashing the ROM it just shows a black screen. I waited around 15 minutes (so far) to no avail. Watching this video makes me think that it is at least possible with Safe Strap and CM 10.1. Is it just not possible on the S4? Am I completely unable to get CM at current? :(

If this is the case why are they making builds for the S4? Is there an old stock ROM that I could flash, root and then install from or is it just a VZW thing? I don't understand why they'd make a build for a phone that can't install a recovery that can install their ROM...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
With the original build, (MDK), there was an exploit that let you bypass the bootloader, so you could flash any ROM. Since the updates, (ME7 and MI1) that exploit has been locked and there is no way, as of now, to bypass the bootloader. Also, there is no way to go back to MDK once the phone has been updated. The only option for ME7 and MI1 users is to use Safestrap, with the appropriate kernel module, and flash TW ROMs only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It is not possible to install CyanogenMod on any revision later than MDK at the moment.

They're building CM for the S4 for those fortunate enough to have revision MDK, which has a bootloader that can be bypassed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xs11e:
I see your question has been answered, let me add a little information that may save you reading a few billion posts here!

The Galaxy S4 has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked so far.

There is a workaround called Loki that bypasses the bootloader to allow a new bootloader such as CM or TWRP to be flashed.

The ME7 build "fixed" the exploit that Loki used to bypass the bootloader so you're now stuck with the stock bootloader.

Start reading up on SafeStrap, that allows some TouchWiz ROMs to be flashed to the SD card but, so far, no non-TW ROMs work.

Sorry but at least some devs are still working on unlocking the bootloader, let's hope they are successful.
