LOGCAT
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mighty ruler:
seems that it only crash when sdcard is out

can't get logcat when card is out :silly:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] galaxyfreak:
I think it's normal for Gallery to crash because new devices have "internal sdcard" as internal memory so I guess SD is must have.

And... RC2 is not so close. I'm lazy to fix audio as I'm working on new project which is more interesting than going in loop with CM.

We hope your new project is for HTC Pico :)

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] reshampanth:
That's because your system partition is full! Wipe factory & system via recovery, flash only rom and reboot. Use root file manager to remove unnecessary crap from /system/app/ Then flash gapps!

Are you using the latest build ie. RC1? Galaxyfreak has slimmed it already..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AayushK:
Yes i am using rc1, can i have a guide to partition the sd card?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mirhl:
Just use the previously slim gapps I posted

Anyway you can partition your sdcard by simply entering TWRP and using the relative feature in the advanced section

Just make sure to backup everything because it will be wiped
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] theBstep:
where's the link of your slim gapps bro?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] unrealRage:
I have installed RC1 and everything works great!

But it's a common for error : 'Insufficient Storage Available' to pop up when downloading apps from Play Store so I download apk files of any app I need via APK Downloader.Most apps won't install although they are compatible with my Pico,I simply get this error when I try to install apk: (X) App not installed.

Could this also be related to external storage problem?

CM11 and "ProjectX" are both KK, so they are both progressing well.

I'm doing some big changes to display driver, trying to achieve better performance, and less legacy patches.

Two things are slowing me down:

1) Our framebuffer is damn outdated, and me, as a lazy person, rather workaround that in display driver than update framebuffer. *sigh*

2) Today is 5th of May, and my semester is ending on 15th of June. Connect the dots.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuburbanKnight:
Hi There,

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas why my phone refuses to co-operate!

Basically, after getting bored of the stock rom when I first got my phone, I somehow managed to install a CM based rom. That worked, but I got bored of the fact that the camera never seemed to work right, and some apps didn't work/ were graphically buggy. Assuming it was just a badly ported graphics driver or whatever, I found a way, using FlashTool, to revert to the stock rom (C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic UK to be precise). I wasn't sure exactly what it did, but it was back how it used to be. sorted.

So, since kitkat made it's way to the XZ, I thought I'd try one of those roms, being the curious bugger that I am. The process I ended up going with eventually was:

>Downgrading Kernel to a lower version because the root explot wouldn't work on 10.3.1.A.0.244

>Rooting using "DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18"

>Upgrading kernel to one that would accept a recovery

>Installing TWRP

>Booting into recovery, CWM appeared instead. Strange, I thought. Oddly, mount USB wouldn't work at all, so I had to boot the phone back up to transfer the kitkat rom over

>Trying to flash the rom gave me an error number 7

>Boot Loop, at which point I just flashed 10.3.1.A.0.244 again.

I've tried this twice now, first with DooM Kernel, and then once with a different one. Neither CWM or TWRP have worked properly. Any help? Or am I just cursed?

Cheers
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuburbanKnight:
Tried this again, did literally everything I could think of and still no dice. Help? Have I somehow forced my phone to be on stock software forever?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eryen:
If you dont unlock your bootloader, you can not use any kind of custom kernel.

That means aosp or aokp based firmwares can not run over locked bootloader.

Locked bootloader checks sign of kernel, if not certificated you will stuck on bootloop.

If you want to use any kind of custom rom... basicly.

1. Backup ta partition. " so you can revert any time you want."

2. Copy firmware zip file tou your internal or external sdcard.

3. Flash custom kernel. "Most of kernel have recovery option build in".

4. Boot in recovery mod. "Mostly press volume down while booting"

5. Insall custom rom.

6.a wipe dalvik-cache

6.b factory reset

Old setting might work or not with new rom. So first try to wipe dalvik- cache. If you stuck on boot loop or any kind of problem, just boot in recovery again and run factory reset.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuburbanKnight:
Hey, thanks for your reply!

I had unlocked the bootloader when I first got the phone and just assumed it would be permanent. Would flashing it back to stock firmware re-lock the bootloader?

But yes, assuming my boot loader is still unlocked ( I have tried to check and it doesn't seem to be locked) I have been through those steps basically. I am fine to flash a kernel with a recovery but the recovery never works properly/ at all. I can root the phone no problem though.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Best to extract the boot.img from the zip file of the ROM you want to flash, and flash that first. Then flash the ROM from its recovery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuburbanKnight:
Cheers, I'll give that a go - I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to flash kernels that weren't designed for the currently installed ROM though? It just seems that any kernel I flash isn't working properly so I didn't think doing that would play any nicer with the phone
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
You're not actually going to boot into your current rom after flashing the kernel.

Flash the kernel via fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the rom.

All this should be covered in the installation instructions of whatever rom you're trying to flash in any case....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuburbanKnight:
Well, that seems to have done it! Thanks very much for your help.

So, I guess the moral here is that if you're on stock and need a recovery to flash a new ROM, always use the boot.img from the ROM you'll be using.

Thanks again - I'd never seen that said before but quite possibly I wasn't paying attention!

That's a BS from Best Buy Cellular Department - they will ALWAYS try ANYTHING to "activate" something.

I got the same crap at Best Buy, even when I told the BB personnel that the N7 have an UNLOCKED version. He said nope. So in front of him, I pulled my laptop, BOUGHT the N7 unlocked for store picked up. Showed to him, and LOUDLY told him what I did in front of other customer.

The look at his face - priceless...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rufusmcd:
Thank you! I thought it was kinda funny when it didnt say anything at all about activation on the websites checkout. Before we came to that step she asked me if I wanted to buy a case for it. I said " No, I hate to say this but your prices for cases are extremely high." She agreed with me. The guy she asked fr help looked at something on a a monitor and said that this versiong had an att chip. I said "But its unlocked." She said that the register wouldnt let her go any further. I told her would just go back home and order it from there. She said that was probably a good idea.

I had a little trouble with getting my N7 too. They kept asking me if I wanted to sign onto a plan, and I had to keep reminding them that the N7 LTE is an unlocked device.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
Just order from Bestbuy.com and choose store pick-up.

BB get commission for each activation, just like non-corporate cellphone stores, so they'll say anything to get you to sign-up.

And BB is wondering why they are losing against online retailer...
