even, i can't install it directly from play store.

btw, have you try to install by your self?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaveyJones666:
Is it because the app requires NFC, or some other hardware related feature present only in the new phones because of which the requirement for BBM is a phone with ICS or higher?

Hope not, someone please figure this out!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thxyzt:
It's because BBM for android is built for armv7 devices. Unless Blackberry built it for armv6 devices, we can't enjoy BBM on our mini.

Hello,

I was looking for dual boot in Galaxy S2 (I777) but it seems that all the ROMs are candidate for dual boot and I think I have to use a kernel with MicSwap. I'm a little bit confused.

Please, could you suggest what are the ROMs and Kernels that I could try for dual boot?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Butchr:
I didn't think you can dual boot touchwhiz based ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cabrerachaparro:
Are you saying that only touchwhiz based ROMs can be used for dual boot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Butchr:
That is the exact opposite of what I said. I am no expert on dual booting but I believe you need to use either AJs kernel or sti kernel.

Greetings everyone!

I need some help. I purchased Sony Xperia Z1 while traveling in China. The model number is L39h, which I believe to be exactly the same as C6902. Is there a way to 'turn' it into the international version? Just changing the language doesn't remove all the Chinese bloatware apps and such. Will changing my firmware work?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards!

Hmm... You should be able to flash it without any problems... They're technically the same from what wikipedia also says... Its just one has chinese specific bloat... Don't take my word for it though..Do a bit more research but I think you should have no issues flashing this...

Yeh, have been looking there, but couldn't find any special... is it because they update so fast or something?

Yeah, I tried it... It has no advantages over AOKP. It makes no sense. I don't even know why they develop it. I don't think they know either, whenever somebody asks them what is special about their rom, they are silent.
[Oppo Find 5] Drowzz:
Alright!
[Oppo Find 5] hackarchive:
Don't go around saying what u don't know.Yes now Omni has nothing too special apart from multi window and a special performance control centre.But the rom was created as a rom and project.You think [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] [MENTION=4683552]maxwen[/MENTION] and many others will just get up and stupidly start doing sth?Those devs are some of the top and best devs on xda with both alot of experience and software knowledge any of us may never get.You want to know what is special,learn to read before posting shear ignorance.Watch videos,read blogs!Omni was launched to create and gear dev ideas into this rom.If sth new is added and works well they would then open source it for anyone to continue dev't.If they take an idea they can make it better and after publish their methods and tools for others to pick up and make it even better.If they create sth,same thing they'll publish it for others to use.They also aim at ending half baked features by using user feedback to choose what features are more relevant and what not.It's all about ideas coming to one place,becoming pulished and leaving stronger all with a user having great input.It's bare now but every rom started there even CM or your AOKP.Btw if [MENTION=4683552]maxwen[/MENTION] stops Find 5 AOKP dev't I'll see how you'll brag about AOKP for this device.He drives AOKP for the find 5 and now Omni.Do you even know the meaning of AOKP?Show respect for that!

[Moto X Q&A] Jexx11:
Not sure if I missed it, but didn't see anything via searching. Is there any way yet for us on the Verizon DE with a custom recovery to install/flash the current update? Without restoring the phone to stock and/or flashing back to a stock recovery.

I assume we are just waiting for the correct files to be extracted from the update, so that we can flash them, but thought maybe I missed something along the way.
[Moto X Q&A] silfa718:
I would like to know about this too
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
Flash stock recovery via fastboot > reboot > download and flash OTA via stock recovery > reboot > flash twrp with fastboot > reboot/root > enjoy. If you have made any mods to your system you will probably want to rsd or fastboot completely back to stock.
[Moto X Q&A] Jexx11:
I knew this method would work, was just hoping to avoid rsd'ing back to stock. I've got everything backed up, but its still annoying setting everything back up.
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
Did you read what I wrote? Unless you made changes to the system all you would need to do is flash the stock recovery. Your data will be intact.

[Moto X Q&A] Jexx11:
I've made several changes, uninstalled several verizon bloatware apps, as well as moving others from system to user so I could greenify.

Thanks for the help, for some reason I was under the impression flashing system wiped your data as well. In the process of flashing now, everything is going smoothly after I updated my fastboot.exe since the default one I had said my system.img file was too large.

Be careful, flashing system and then updating will wipe root away, if not done properly

[Moto X Q&A] jimmypop13:
This won't help you but in case you didn't know you could, I'm running the updated tmobile rom on my dev edition vzw Moto x. You get native tethering that way too. You just have to flash the vzw build.prop on top, the original one works fine. Then you need an app like 4g lte switch to enter phone settings and change to lte/cdma auto(prl) to receive and make calls and txts. Pretty cool I think. This way I've had the update for almost a month now and didn't have to wait for Verizon
[Moto X Q&A] Jexx11:
I suppose that would work if you didn't want to wait on Verizon for updates. FYI native tether is also easy to achieve on Verizon without the T-Mobile hack.

Hopefully Verizon is fairly quick when updates are released, this round wasn't bad at all so I didn't mind the wait too much.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
My goal is I want a controller which can completely take the place of the Nvidia Shield controller. I want to be able to play my shield into my TV sit on my couch and play like if I were holding the shield, including control the mouse with the right joystick.

Now I don't know if this is possible yet, I tried the Nyko playpad but I couldn't even get the darn thing to work at all.

I was hoping to get this ready in the next week to get ready for the console mode coming to the shield
[Shield Q&A] chaind:
Controller : Moga Pro.

Did you try that ?

And by the way other topics in the forum say Nyko works well with Shield.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Yea I heard good things about the playpad too which is why I got it but after being on tech support with Nyko and other forums noone seems to know what's going on (maybe just a defective unit?)

By the way the Moga, does it do what I'm looking for with basically being the shield controller away from the shield in all cases? Have you experienced any issues with it?
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
I decided to return this pad it's just a headache, anyone able to tell me if the Moga will work just like the shield controls even in the android menus with the mouse?

Edit: I should probably add I don't really want to root my device
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Right now, only a wired XBox controller will work correctly, but that's being fixed "very soon". I can't be more specific than that.

***PERSONALLY***

, I can't stand the Nyko controller. I'd pay the extra and get the OnLive controller, it has the best feel for all the controllers I've played with, personally.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Honestly at this point I'd be happy to buy anything as long as it works just like using the shield controls (Full control equal to that of shield in all apps and operating system, virtual mouse and streaming)

If the Onlive does that does that I'll buy it right now, unfortunately all my 360 controllers are the wireless ones :(
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
There is one feature none of the controllers will support, and that is the "SHIELD" button. But honestly, you can launch the Dashboard via the icon. The RSMouse (Virtual Mouse, right stick mouse, whatever) works with OnLive in the next OTA.

Tomorrow, I'll bring home my OnLive controller and triple-check it works with PC Streaming. I have not personally verified it, only the rest of the functionality since my responsibilities end with Android working correctly. You can actually blame me personally for issues with the RSMouse not working with external controllers, that was me. :)
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Ah didn't realize you were a Nvidia Dev. Thanks then I really appreciate it if you'd test that out since I'm strongly looking forward to this console mode which is why I'm preparing for it now. If you can let me know that all buttons work that'd be amazing.

It's not a loss for me not having the shield button since like you said I can just click it on my android device with the virtual mouse, but I'm concerned about how future updates (Such as android 4.3) will have on these controllers. I know Nyko seemed to have strong issues with the 4.2 jump and I want to make sure if I purchase a 50 dollar Onlive controller for my shield that I won't run into future issues within reason.

I'll deff take your advice on the onlive controller though since I was very happy with the shield look and feel (Minus the d-pad but my unit isn't as bad as others have reported thankfully) so I know you have good tastes lol
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I can assure you that anything I test out tomorrow will work on 4.3 as well. ;)

You don't even need the RSMouse to bring up the dashboard. The launcher is fully navigable with the controller. I had plenty of issues with the Nyko, especially with the analog sticks feeling "sloppy". Anyone I've asked to move the mouse at a slight diagonal with the Nyko has had trouble, but with the OnLive, it's smooth and effortless. I'll give you more details tomorrow night after I try it out at home.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
So just out of curiosity i hard wired my ps3 controller to my shield without rooting and it actually worked (thought root was required) but as people have stated the d-pad doesn't work in streaming. I thought the problem was only with wireless, is there any chance the D-pad might work in the future without rooting?

Edit: I borrowed my friends Moga it seems to work great except the triggers don't seem to be working in streaming (haven't had anything to test them in android yet)

Edit 2: It appears Retroarch won't recognize the Moga at all and I don't know why since it's on its autodetect list.... only the d-pad seems to work in retroarch and i see no way to customize controls

Edit 3: Wow another Edit I found when using the Moga with streaming it completely makes my stream lag and sometimes disconnect and usually its perfect... again still no shoulder buttons working
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
For the Moga, Pro, you need to make sure you're in HID mode. This is actually setting B, not A.

The OnLive worked great with streaming and everything else. I'm curious if I can make a custom ROM that actually makes use of the remaining buttons on the OnLive for media playback and the SHIELD button...
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Yea I'm in mode B still no dice on the triggers, Mode A actually doesn't do anything at all for me.

I also updated my previous post i noticed that when I'm using the Moga while streaming it also causes major streaming lag and it starts dropping my connection...

So two mysterious why no triggers and why is it lagging with the moga :(
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I couldn't tell you, but external controller support is weak right now. It will get better real soon... That's all I can say about it. :)
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Well that's deff great news to hear I just worry about the controller usage and causing interference with streaming makes me worried there's some issue difficult to get around interference problems or maybe even something wrong with my shield guess I'll know more after the next update
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
It *shouldn't* cause interference. The controller is bluetooth and streaming is wifi. I believe that is something that is actively tested now, and we obviously advertised it in regards to console mode. Is it the Moga PowerA Pro controller? That's one of the controllers I test with...
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Hm so when I was testing it i was sitting at my desk with the controller very close to the shield, when i moved myself to the other side of the room and didn't have the controller next to the shield the lag significantly decreased and it seems to be repeatable. It's the Moga Pro http://www.ebgames.com/android/accessories/moga-pro-mobile-controller/108861
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
I'm about to break down and just buy the OnLive controller. I'm having difficulty with all the other controllers and there's always a draw back even after the update which did make things much better for me but still missing some things.

Could you do me a huge favor and get retroarch if you haven't already and confirm that it works no hassle, Triggers, Start and Select, and L3 and R3.

PS3 controller works great minus the select button which is the back button in retroarch but I really don't want to void my warranty and root to get that to work wirelessly.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I'll give it a try... Although almost all controllers are reporting the select button as BACK, and not select. :(
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
I think this is why...

This is from Vendor_054c_Product_0268.kl that lists "# Sony Playstation(R)3 Controller" close to the top.

# Button "Select" maps to BACK.
key 0x120 BACK

here is the same key number from the kl for the xperial play

key 0x120 BUTTON_SELECT

I also do not have a PS3 controller to try anything.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
So what exactly are these files? and can i edit them to do the purpose I want without rooting?
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
The files are located in /system/usr/keylayout, so root is needed to edit them.
