When to alter ROM

Am located in New Zealand, and hence using model i8160L, running stock JB ROM

Am trying to modify / install Maclaw CM KK ROM -- but am having problems

-- it "reads" the ROM and "immediately" (afaik) but aborts installation

-- NO ERROR MESSAGES come up for any indication as to why it's aborting

Am trying to do the following -- appreciate any feedback to correct procedure if I'm making eny errors

(i) omitting any and all references to L in 8160L string -- should I restrict it to any particular lines? -- using Build.Prop Editor

-- the Settings/About Device shows it as an 8160, rather than an 8160L after the Build.Prop changes, but the boot screen still shows it as the 8160L -- but at least I don't get the error message about trying to install ROM on wrong device

(ii) before attempting installation, downloading the latest ROM, unzipping the ROM using 7zip, deleting "tee" folder

-- and pasting tee folder from the stock JB ROM installed on my phone

(iii) re-zipping the ROM using 7zip -- I notice I get a different MD5 to that llsted on the download page

(iv) attempting to flash the modified ROM in Recovery mode, but it aborts

Don't know enough to know if install procedure tries to validate the "to be installed" ROM's MD5 and aborts since it's different from that on the download page

Don't know what purpose of tee folder is -- is it to connect to local carrier?

How about if I try to install "unmodified" ROM (in its unmodified form) and once it's installed, if it does (?), replace the tee folder at that later stage, to check for ability to connect to carrier?

Do I need to unlock the SIM card first --- as that's also something I haven't done

(naturally, I've backed up and able to restore to what I had before attempting the install)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
md5 sum change probably because you uncompressed and re-compressed file.

no you dont have to unlock carrier.

use total commander and delete first 3 lines in updater-script.(all before mount.. bahblablah) and then compress it, then try.

btw it doesnt show any status errors?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiwiCool60a:
When to alter ROM cont'd

MANY MANY thanks for your very prompt reply, and further information

"status errors" -- as a result of ?? -- no status errors evident after rebooting with modfified Build.Prop

had lots of "fun" on my previous efforts with custom ROMs -- played with several on a Huawei G300 I had --

-- but, gee, this is an ongoing learning process -- now to learn about updater script !!! :D

(only learnt about Total Commander from your post - despite its high rating -- but note others have used other things for "text editing")

(but have discovered some TUTs on xda)

Reading more carefully through the posts I see it may be possible to flash the ROM, and then later, substitute the tee folder supplied in the Maclaw ROM with the stock JB one -- right?

I'll definitely learn more about updater-script, but I'll try to flash the ROM again without modifying the ROM === OK?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
-Dont care about ro.build.model. once assert is deleted you dont have to change it. And its not mandatory.

-I recommended total commander just because its the only root browser i have that shows the assert in 3 lines exactly. Unless es etc. You can also use other editors ^.^ :P

-like when installation is aborted, it says status 7(or 0 etc)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiwiCool60a:
Many thanks -- now for the "rest" and time for tee

Many thanks!! KK installed -- that was the "fascinating" thing -- no status errors on previous failed attempt at installation -- nothing

but now it's installed -- with GApps added, and now to "worry" about the rest of it all

unsurprisingly -- if tee does what I think it does -- but I can't find a TUT on that anywhere

-- so currently, I can't connect to my local carrier, so it's currently not a :"phone" as such

even more frustratingly, computer found phone when it was first plugged in, but now seems to have lost it!! time to reboot system

-- and, it's been a while since I used CM but I can't find extsdcard!!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiwiCool60a:
Permissions

sorry, not used to that one -- for that matter, I tend to stay away from things affecting the system I don't know

so I'm lost in permissions in different apps -- can't find "paste" in CM file, and can't find RW permissions in ES!!

But you're being exceptionally patient! thanks, heaps
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiwiCool60a:
Lot easier than I thought -- and MANY thanks again

Actually, it's a lot easier than I thought -- working phone, with KK installed -- without need to unlock carrier!!

Many thanks for the guidance, patience ....

and, of course, to the ROM developers
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiwiCool60a:
Repeated problems with Maclaw KK ROM

Many thanks for past help with intall procedure -- but have had repeated problems of late -- last installed ROM on March 9th -- could install several versions prior to that date, and use them successfully, but since then have been unable since I repeatedly get "Error searching for networks", and hence cannot connect to carrier, and hence unable to use phone as phone, though other functions seem to work OK, -- any ideas??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Henkate:
Hello ! Recently i builded a rom from source,Resurrection Remix based on kitkat.When i boot it,it give me 2 force closes:

1.Unfortunately,Phone has stopped.

2.Unfortunately,Themes provider has stopped.

And sometimes this error: Unfortunately,the process com.android.systemui has stopped and dsp manager (1 time).Also,i saw setup wizard ,but then dissapeared and still get FC.Also,when i pressed volume keys i saw popup with volume.So,rom is working if i solve these errors.

I want to take logcat with ADB,but usb debug must be enabled from settings,and i can`t avoid these FC because always popup after i press "Ok" to one of them.So,a guy told me to change ro.build.type=userdebug to ro.build.type=eng in build.prop to enable usb debug.Next time when i flashed my rom i got message in windows about phone that is unknown device,so driver was not installed,so adb not working.So,change that i did in build.prop is working,but windows dont let phone to be installed.Check here what messages i got on windows: http://i62.tinypic.com/e7ky2r.jpg and http://i57.tinypic.com/2wfsays.png .Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Maybe try to remove those apks from system/app or where ever they are. Boot to system and enable usb debugging.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Henkate:
I tried this too,but still get these errors.I forgot to say about this.And rom is builded from source.

EDIT: I got a idea but i`m not sure if will work.I install omni rom 4.3,install drivers etc. and adb working.If i put my rom as dual boot and reboot from omni rom with adb running to my rom maybe i get logcat.I will try and report here.

EDIT 2: Not working.

You need to do a factory reset If you stuck in a bootloop

-Power off the device

-Press and hold the Power button and Volume down button at the same time

-When the LG logo shows up, let go both of the two buttons for a second, and then press them again

-A Factory reset promote should be shown on the screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to perform a factory reset.

What would be interesting to know is: How big is the Memory of this thing?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] thearif:
That is actually one of the important aspects of the watch I would like to know as well. I can not find any info on that one anywhere..

But thanks for the rest of the specs.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] adrianmignogna:
I think it is going to be around 1-4 GB

(as comparison; the Galaxy Gear has 4GB)
[Sony Smartwatch 2] thearif:
I seriously doubt that. 1 GB would be great but I don't think so...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] adrianmignogna:
Maybe Sony is giving us an answer....I've just contacted them via E-mail.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] izzet3838:
I really don't think you will get your question answered it's really a watch with low specs compared to the competition the never even said antyfing official about the processor
[Sony Smartwatch 2] thearif:
I totally agree with you on this one. I believe except the screen, the internals of sw2 is on par with pebble. And original pebble had 4mb ram while the pebble steel bumped it up to 8 mb. So I would say 1 GB is simply wishful thinking.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] izzet3838:
Yeah i think that sony uses the sw2 for just making a profit as big as possible like they do with theirs docks they ask 35€ for one here and when you pull the nails open you just see it are two parts of plastic with a magentic usb cable

I won't buy a sony watch till they make them like their smartphones quality first profit next i was mad at samsung for asking that much for a gear but at least it has some specs

What i would pay max for an sw 2 at the moment is like €80
[Sony Smartwatch 2] adrianmignogna:
Why should I buy a $300 Smartwatch with a lot of power and poor batterylife just for seeing my notifications?

The SM2 from Sony hasn't the best specs, but at a price of $150 it is definitly the best smartwatch. I've got the chance to switch the watches with a Galaxy Gear owner for two days...and he loved the SM2 so much more than the Gear, the best thing he said was the readabillity in bright sunlight and the long lasting battery.

He wouldn't get a Gear for this high price (He got it free, with contraction for a Smartphone), he rather would get a SM2 and pay half the price, but receiving the same (most used) functions.

And finally; If I want a lot of power (webbrowsing, and so on...), I just pick out my phone from the pocket...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] izzet3838:
Please look close to my post i wouldn't buy a gear myself

As you said too bad battery lofe it doesn't always show the clock and it's ugly but in here (belgium) the leather sm2 costs 200 euros what i think is too less for a watch with low specs like that

So i'm just gonna wait a lil bit gefore i'm gonna buy a smartwatch
[Sony Smartwatch 2] adrianmignogna:
I know this problem, I'm living in Switzerland and the SW2 isn't officially avaiable here, so you have to get an import product from a website or import it by yourself. I've got mine for about $160 with the metal strap.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] izzet3838:
It's available in here at a lot of places but the problem is that the one with the metal/leather strip costs around the €200

And i looked it up and thats a lil more than 270$ whats way too much for that sw in my opinion
[Sony Smartwatch 2] adrianmignogna:
I wouldn't pay $270 either for the SW2 (or any other Smartwatch). Guess you have to wait, 'till it's getting cheaper. Just to still my curiosity: How much does the Gear cost in your Country?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] thearif:
I would pay for a low spec device good money as long as the low specced hardware is utilized properly. I remember the old days of palm pilots. All they had was 33 MHz processors with 8 to 16 MB of memory but they performed wonderfully for what they were intended to compared to higher specced windows mobile handheld computers with 100 to 200 MHz processors and 128 to 512MB memory.

I don't think a smartwatch needs that much. If the apps for it are in the orders of 100 kb and optimized, it should be fine. But even then I would like to know how much memory does this smartwatch has.

What Sony should do is let the developers utilize full potential of the watch. Open it up Sony!!!

Take pebble for example. It has low specs but I love the way it functions. I would have bought it instead of SW2 but it is not available in my country and dealing with customs is a big hassle. So I bought the SW2. I am not saying SW2 is bad, actually most of the time I love it. I would like just a bit more customization options like ability to install native apps that does not rely on the phone to function like the alarm or stopwatch on the SW2. Also option to install native watchfaces would be welcome. That is why I am saying OPEN it up Sony.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] adrianmignogna:
They have something called "Open SmartWatch Project". Ment for the original Smartwatch, but maybe also fo the SW2...Maybe some developers should check this out...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] thearif:
As far as I know, that is for the old one.

However the SDK can be used only to create smart extensions (apps) for the Sony smartwatches, but has nothing to do with alternative firmware development as the Open Smartwatch Project for the SW1.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] scrapzz:
If you just take a look at boll.com you can found the wrist for last than €20,-

the watch plus wrist is around €200,- but it cheaper if you search on the internet.

I just bought it from Conrad, just for €150,- with a metal wrist!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Ryland Johnson:
That is a tad unrealistic. I collect watches and cant think of an average watch (Swatch watch?) that just tells the time and date that costs €80.00, not unless you are talking local Chinese shops or garage forecourt shop junk.

I own the galaxy Gear and for what it is it is overpriced but its a beta watch. The Sony is water resistant and perhaps as durable as the Gear that is twice the price. I have yet to find the cahunas to accept a call on the Gear as holding a watch to ones face to talk into it would look like the odd chap used to when I was a kid! Apart from that imagine ones wife calling to see why one is late for dinner? Who wants half the street to hear me getting my ear chewed off in public! :o

I think the asking price for the Sony is acceptable. :good: 140.00€ I would be happy to pay more if the watch had a sapphire crystal. I am hell on legs for scratching the crystal on a watch. Only use the Gear under clothing. Not to mention the fact its not even water resistant like the Sony.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] :
If anyone in this thread still cares about specs, take a look at http://lunarius.fe80.eu/blog/smartwatch2-first-steps.html. I've just duplicated half of that guy's efforts before finding the page.

Anyway, the SoC is a STMicroelectronics STM32F4-series one, 256 KiBs of RAM, 2 MiBs of flash and some form of eMMC storage (reported by dfu-util as 512 MiB, but probably smaller).

I'm trying to figure out the firmware now. You can get the watch in DFU mode easily, as described here, and there are a few firmware files in the SmartWatch 2 apk - just unzip it and look in /res/raw.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] thearif:
Thanks man, that is a good find.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] MrRimmer:
Hi,

Have been searching for info on what to do with the bin files in res/raw after stupidly bricking my SW2 with MN2 firmware via SUS. It seems that in order to flash bin files you need to specify the address that each file should be flashed to. Can someone with working firmware either create a dfu file or specify the addresses for each of the bin files?

Fingers being crossed now...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] bl00dy:
better you than me XP

guess that might answer my question.

did you change to the STM32F4 code before you made the firmware? (assuming ur using the arduino toolchain)

pretty sure the firmware still starts at the same spot...although the hardware could be hooked up different

my dfu is here
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dersie:
I had read one day that sw2 had 4GB of memory. Likely because we really store a lot of information internally. the last 100 notification for watchit, 100 notifications watchnotifier,, 100 last mails from K9Mail, all my evernote, Many notes in smartnote. With my pebble on notes app we can stores only 390 characters. The persistent memory for app is 256 bytes, so really low low low..... no comparison with sw2;)
