[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
hi all

as you all know im ported many roms to play for my daily use and now i wanna share you guys how i did that

(as i promised im going to release all my guides because im leaving xperia play section because of my bricked play and its ancient hardware but please give me thanks if you like this guide and if you used it for porting roms please give me credits)

porting with this guide is very simple because i did the hard parts myself :p

What you'll need:

1-brain :p

2-notepad ++

3-my porting files

4-a diff checker (you can use this one)

5-xperia arc build.prob

6-your rom

7-winrar

important:if the rom has new version of armora installer this guide wont work as touchscreen wont work on that armora on play (you have to remove armora installer first then you can port the rom)

ok now we can start

1-copy rom and my files in a folder (for example port project)

2-open both zip files

now you have 2 ways

1- if the rom has armora installer

2-if the rom doesnt have that

if the rom has armora installer

you will need to find the folder device files in the rom.zip

in most of the roms its named armora/device but in some of them like uhd armora/device name (for example arc)

ok now open the arc device folder in rom.zip(because some other devices have different touchscreen files that i haven't included them in my zip so touchscreen wont work if you use those devices)

now simply drag all my the files(but not the build.prob) inside stockicsporting.zip to arc folder in rom zip

if the rom deosnt have armora installer

you work is easier

go to system folder then drag all my files(but not the build.prob) inside stockicsporting.zip to /system of rom.zip

ok now we need to make the build.prob file of our rom

check second post for that
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
build.prob editing is a little harder than other parts buts is easy

i saw that if you only change device name and these things your wifi wont work

so we need to rebuild build.prob inside stockicsporting.zip and add it to our rom.zip

go to http://www.diffchecker.com/ or use any other diffchecker that you have

copy the build.prob that i opsted in post#3 to original text

now copy build.prob of arc rom.zip to changed text

now compare them

you will some changes

dont even look at these ones because it we dont need them

some of the lines are not even used in xperia play device so we dont need to add them in your build.prob like these ones

but some changes are for rom name and build.prob tweaks inside build.prob

we need to inculde them in build.prob

for example:

ro.build.id=4.1.B.0.587

and these tweaks:

these things should be added/changed in the rebuilded build.prob of stockicsporting.zip

after you rebuilded the build.prob push it to the armora/device or /system (based on first post)

then you can flash you rom

i will post the result soon

Vertical cradle

I just purchased a vertical cradle from an outfit in the UK (Hamill Dist.) but haven't received it yet. I based my decision on a favorable report from HTC Wizard Web (http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/510). The Ebay unit looks identical, and I figured it wasn't rocket science and basically a plastic holder with USB connector at the bottom.

I'll report back when I receive it and test it out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] jdoiv:
I bought

the boxwave vertical cradle and have been using it for a couple of weeks. Not a bad design, but could be better. Needs a spare battery slot. Also, the mini-usb connector is sort of long and you have to be carefull when putting the phone in and out of the dock. I'm afraid I might break it off in the phone at some point. Nothing like that has happened yet, but it just doesn't feel bullet proof.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] onesix18:
I'm using an old Rolodex card holder with my sync cable as a horizontal cradle...works absolutely great! The 8125 happens to be a near-perfect fit when oriented horizontally. Pulled it our of my office's back room right before it was going in the trash...

http://www.arsmar.com/emporium/IMG/c07a-Rolodex-2.jpg
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] scharnet:
I am using the Boxwave one. Here are my thoughts:

1) I also am using the FlexiSkin. The 8125 does fit with the skin on, but you have to remove the cradles clear plastic support piece (or just leave it off to begin with).

2) Connection - the power part charges easily, but the sync part takes a little more wiggling/time to work than I am used to with the OEM USB cable. I am not sure if it is because of the FlexSkin, the cradle or what...I'll test it out.

3) Design. It is light, and you have to operate with 2 hands to put on and remove. My sync cradle for my old Casio E125 had this lift button to remove the device easily, and I wish this did.

4) Bottom is covered. If you plan ahead, no biggy. I just keep a spare stylus by the cradle because I kept forgetting to remove it before syncing. You may also want to have your bluetooth headset ready, because answering the phone is a little awkward (whether removing the device, or using speakerphone). No way to use a wired set - the plug is covered.

Does it come with that extra battery as well, or just the charger?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] peraltah:
Just the chargers. It comes with a usb cable to attach it to the computer and a normal american outlet charger. If you buy them off of ebay I remember seeing one that comes with a battery. I dont trust the battery that it comes with though I rather just spend the extra cash and be sure of the quality of the battery. Hope this helped

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jammychap:
I bought a metal bumper off ebay for my Galaxy S3, it consists of a front and a back that screw together, I really like this because it lets the phone breath while still protecting the edges from drops and being metal it's not going to wear out, another nice feature is with these tiny allen keys a thief wont be able to get into your phone quickly and remove the battery/sim/sd card so you might just get a little longer to find your phone :good:

Does the case affect signal quality?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] f308gt4:
They are nice cases, but I got rid of mine because I had issues with reception when using the case. If you have a strong signal, the case did not seem to affect the reception. However, in my house (my kitchen, specifically) I do not have a very strong signal at all. As a result, I was getting very crappy reception with the phone, especially if I was talking and walked into the kitchen. When I removed the case, the issue went away.

I only had this issue in my house. Just about everywhere else locally, the Verizon signal is pretty good, so no apparent effect of the case.

I wish I had a stronger signal in my house, as I really like the aluminum bumper case...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jammychap:
I can't tell at the mo, there is a little bug on my rom, i'ts not showing my signal strength at all, even when on High speed internet.

Modem fixed now, signal seems to be fine despite the metal bumper :good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atilim:
Hi everyone.

I have a i9300 and it is stuck in rebooting.

Power key is ok.

I can get it to download mode or recovery mode.

I can wipe cache and partition but nothing change, it keeps rebooting.

I cant use odin because odin didn't see the phone,

I think USB debugging wasn't on. But I cant find a way to open it without turning on.

I am looking for possibilities and solution for 2 days and I cant find any. Please help me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshulmalviya:
bootloop

It seems you are stuck in a boot loop. Try clearing the cache & perform a full factory wipe. Then reboot your device.

Hope that helps. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atilim:
thanks for answer. But I try that several times. Nothing changes.

Also I try partition wipe too. Sometimes I can see Samsung logo but I cant go further.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atilim:
You are right, it was computer malfunction. I can use odin now.

I both try 4.1.2 (with odin) and 4.3 (with octopus) but it keeps rebooting.

I also use octopus box to flash and repair efs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If you've cleared the partition structure then you've turned a possible soft brick into a hard brick, you'll need a new motherboard now.

Try flashing the rescue firmware, from the thread in general, but I wouldn't hold out any hope.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadavid99:
same problem but worse please help

HI guys i have exactly the same problem but my bootloop was caused by installing recovery through the cwm app and then rebooting to recovery through the app. i rebooted to recovery with an app before and it caused this aswell ...however back then my volume down button was working:(. i fixed it last time by going into download mode and flashing philz recovery however i cant enter download mode or recovery or boot into system.

PS: my phone doesnt boot into recovery it comes up with the samsung galaxy s3 gt 19300 logo then it comes up with the cwm recovery icon in the middle of my screen and 'clockwordmod recovery v6.0.6.4' at the bottom of the screen then restarts itself.

i dont know what to try i have looked around, didnt want to create a new thread just wanted to find out if anyone has any idea of what i can do except for buying a new volume down button thats my last resort apprently its £35 to fix :eek:

easy way to fill up you thanks meter guys as any sort of input and advice is extremely appreciated.

Hi Friends,

Would love your feedback on our app - AirStream

We have built this awesome app using which you can access your files from Computer on Mobile devices from anywhere in the world. As you might have also experienced most of our data like movies, music, photos & even important work documents are still residing in our computers. Even today there is no easy way to access them on Mobile devices. But with our solution this is as easy as using Dropbox, imagine accessing all your files from your computer from anywhere in the world without any limit on GBs.

What you will love:

1. Access alll your drives & files

2. Easy & quick movie streaming

3. Integrated music player.. create playlists, import playlists, etc

4. Access computer over 3G/4G

Attached are the new builds that we will release on Google Play. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Procedure:

1. Install the apk in android

2. Copy the .jar version of AirStream desktop client to your computer & run it.

3. Login on both ends using the same credentials.

(both the .apk & .jar have been zipped due to size constraints. We have a .msi version but not able to upload due to size constraints)

Check the screenshots for your reference.

Awaiting your feedback.. feel free to reach us at contactus@nityaalabs.com :)

Edit::

An older version of this is available on Google Play. The changes to the new version are:

1. Patched AirStream-Sky functionality on Android. Older version had a bug which prevented the app from accessing computer on external network. (There is still a issue on Desktop app, which sometimes require a router reset to access computer on external network)

2. Added indicator to notify whether the app is working on Local Wifi network or external network.

3. Much better graphics & UX. The app is much slicker & smoother than older one.

Right now the playback controls are only on the mobile app. Windows client only acts as a server, you login and it allows the mobile device to connect with it. Media playback & everything else is done from the Mobile app.. Hope you find is useful :)

Hi, got this up and going in a few minutes. It's awesome! Something I've been looking for in an FTP like client/server setup. The beautiful thing is AirStream's simplicity. Streamed music straight away and have yet to attempt a transfer. I understand server to client functionality is fully functional. I'm experiencing it. Is the reverse true of transfers? That is, client to server. I did see someone else ask this question yet it hadn't been answered as of this writing. Thanks for the app and sharing all the work you've placed into its development. Cool. Practical. User-friendly. Literally up and running in under 7-10 minutes! Sweet :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mortadelax:
Hi everybody. I want to share with all of you the firmware for South America (at least Argentina) X10 mini pro U20a, created by myself using pc-companion and flashtool, and of course, tested by me.

Base Band: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

Compilation number: 2.1.1.A.0.6

I share it because I searched a lot in the web, with no luck. Furthermore, pc-companion or SEUS seems not to repair eclair anymore, unless you downgrade to baseband XXX006. Fortunately I found this post by shivenjuneja that helped me to restore my U20a eclair.

Why do you need this? Because if your phone is U20a and if you put some U20i ftf on it, you will lose 3g (edge will work). And of course, this is the fastest way to get a fresh stock eclair, in case you need.

Flash it with flashtool
