Can anybode write the steps for rooting new 4.3 on unlocked bootloader ???
[Xperia SP General] Parkside:
It would be the same...

However you can also flash Doomlord's 4.3 kernel, then boot to recovery and flash the super su zip for root. The kernel from the leaked 4.3 rom seems to be the same as the kernel from the latest update.
[Xperia SP General] Abyssmal:
Recovery is lost after going back to stock kernel. Root works.
[Xperia SP General] stayawake:
The root works but Mobile Bravia Engine 2 still lost.
[Xperia SP General] teddy74eva:
Hi guys!

Im trying this method now but I dont have stock 4.3 kernel. Anyone has it? Upload please coz Im stuck now :(
[Xperia SP General] stayawake:
To Flash only the kernel from the new rom,

In the flashing options, exclude all (right box) except Kernel.
[Xperia SP General] ryanrudolf:
this is method i use for zl. wife has sp, she won't let me play with her phone, she likes as is 4.2......
[Xperia SP General] teddy74eva:
Hi!

Yea I know but i havent got ftf with firmware i have updated my sp thru pcc
[Xperia SP General] sshadi:
I have locked bootloader and is it work when I flash only kernel from older soft, root and reflash kernel from australian soft? The same procedure was in case of 254.
[Xperia SP General] Nanostray:
I don't know yet but I definitely hope it does. I don't have the update on PCC yet
[Xperia SP General] sshadi:
Hm.. I haven't 254 for Australia so I can't try.
[Xperia SP General] teddy74eva:
Yes, root works like a charm but you need to unlock bootloader and flash advanced stock kernel from .256 leak cuz it have recovery and flash the file from attachment, then you must revert to stock kernel and lock bootloader. Voila!
[Xperia SP General] sshadi:
I can't unlock bootloader ;) Orange locks bootloader and anyone can unlock. Then I am looking for method without unlocked BL. And I want to flash kernel from JB 1.257, root and reflash kernel from 4.3. But I'm not sure it is safe.
[Xperia SP General] tombassi:
please don't try that !! it's not possible to use 4.1.2 kernel on 4.3 , it may brick your device .
[Xperia SP General] sshadi:
Ok, thanks, bro. So I must wait for root for locked bl ;C
[Xperia SP General] teddy74eva:
You dont have to have Australia .254 just download it from anywhere and it'll work :highfive:
[Xperia SP General] sshadi:
But as said bro above kernel from 4.1.2 can brick Xperia. I won't try.
[Xperia SP General] teddy74eva:
Aww men I know that feeling :( i had xperia arc s from orange
[Xperia SP General] jucares:
Hi, I just root 266 by unlocking bootloader, flashing Advance Kernel and updating SuperSu via CWM, now the question is should I flash the 266 stock kernel? and why?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] gregory_marsh:
Well this is what I have been deciding for sometime now.

And here is my verdict:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=48608
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] TheBrit:
I think it's worth it. Orange now have upgrade stock and I've ordered my M600 today. My M500 will probably appear on eBay in the next few days.

Someone else in our office has just got an M600 having upgraded from the M500 and he really likes it - and so do I. Since I'm due for a free upgrade I thought - what the heck...go for it. 8)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] FFVIII:
I never had S100 but I still have my old 9090. I think you should go for it. The new WM5 is faster, cleaner and more stable (no more soft reset). And not being worried about losing everything when the battery dies. As for the processor, it is right, the S200 is a bit slower, you’ll feel it while playing movies with tcpmp. But using an overclocking app. Will fix it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] duncan888:
if you encode your video correctly, eg in 320x240 res, video playback is no problem whatsoever without overclocking
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] ingenious:
Indeed!

The gadget it nice, small, stylish black (at least are the XDA Neos), definitely better than the Wizard, and has no problems playing movies without overclocking if encoded with PocketDVDStudio.

It is THE phone!

P.S. The Start and OK/Close buttons are life-savers 8)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] TheBrit:
I've now upgraded and it was definitely worth it. 8)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] gregory_marsh:
When playing movies shot with my Canon Ixus @ 320x240 the Charmer stutters and the S100 does not.

Why would I want to 'upgrade' to something that I need to 'overclock' to get to the same speed that I have already ?

I think I will wait till the next version !

Hopefully they will have sorted it by then.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] duncan888:
I would just upgrade again when the next model is out :lol:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jorgee:
I think it is something like this... Let's say I have a Pentiun III (256MB) with Windows 98SE(WM2003SE Device) and I upgrade it to WinXP (WM2005 Device) .... I believe I WILL have to overclock to have same performance speed when let's say opening a document, or starting a game.

I don't know but i believe it is WM5 that is slowing the device down. I guess that's why even if were in 2006 there are still computers running Windows 98. So i guess you are right. If you don't need (yet)the advantages that WM5 brings then you could wait for the next generation Processors so that it will run "at par" as the S200.

I came from a h6340 (OMAP 200Mhz WM2003) to the Universal (Intel 520Mhz WM5) and no matter how you look at it, the Universal is so much faster than the HP h6340.

Oh, BTW... out from the box, the universal was "kinda" slow and I would classify it as a little non-responsive when opening a lot of programs at same time. Now though after a few ROM updates, everything is running quite quick.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] montana:
First of all, no need to overclock. The processors arent from the same vendor, so dont look too much at the "Mhz".

I had a S100, and now got a 200, the 200s processor is definetely Not worse than the S100.

In my opinion, its worth it! The one thing I miss on my S200, is Project VCABT, I really hope these talented guys will fix it asap :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Looking Glass:
Some items might be a matter of taste, but some are critical.

- The machine IS slower than an JAM

- It hangs, at least so often as the JAM, or more frequently should I say.

- I had to hard reset the first day of usage: A clock alarm remained somehow turned on and sounding every few minutes. No way to disconnect the thing..... even after a Soft Reset

- Battery life is shorter.... (It may be my unit, but it's way shorter than my JAM one year old one....)

- BT worries remain the same as in older models (JAM, etc)

- Lots of Apps simply don't load or don't work

- It's a more radical change than XP was, and less documented and user-conscious than it should.

- Phone caller ID is worse. Pictures are unreadable on screen. No options.

- Phone directional keys don't work as expected.

- ¡Notes on contacts are limited in size!

- flimsy pen

Really, very disappointed.... :evil:

On the plus side: WIFI, look, screen, more ergonomics for one hand use... not enough
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] coolfire74:
I think you might need to return your unit and get a replacement. Something must be wrong with your unit, or might because of some programs you installed on it?

I had a XDA Neo (same as S200) with JAMin WWE ROM for more than 2 month. The XDA Neo runs very fast and smooth. I never got any problem with it. I normally run multiple programs (2-5) at the same time. For example, media player to listen to mp3s and watch ebooks, and also have the dictionary (Lexisgoo 2.0) running. I never had complaints about the speed. The OMAP CPU is defferent than Xscale, you can not compare them by MHz.

I did not reset the unit in more than one week. The unit never (or at least rarely) hangs. Extremely stable. So, I guess you must installed some program not very compatible with your unit. I have installed more than 20 programs on it, but of course, I tested more than probably 40 programs in my first month after I got this unit, and deleted all the other programs which I believed it made the unit unstable.

I am also pretty satisfied with the battery life. It can last about one week (or at least 4-5 days) for regular use, if I do not use it for long time (more than 30-60 minutes talk) chat on the phone.

The BT is very stable. I use it to connect to my car (I have blue tooth system in my Prius), and it worked beautifully. But to save the battery, I normally turn the BT off when I get off the car.

Sometimes, I guess, you really need to test all the programs you installed. A lot of programs may not work right for WM5, and I also found that some programs it actually may work for WM5 (according to online info or reviews), but it did cause problems on my unit, and made the unit not very stable. You have to spend sometime to figure out. After you done this, you can always use the same programs on it, just keep updating when new version coming out. That is what I did for all my PDA phones.

Hope it helps.

By the way, I am using the overlocking now (252 MHz), and the unit runs even more faster and stable.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Looking Glass:
Hi!

I agree that no comparison is good based on Mhz, I know about it, but things are slower. Example: after a soft reset, (Several times a day) just accesing a contact whose name begins with "Z" in a 3000+ contact list, takes .... almost 20 seconds!

Loading TomTom 5? some 30 seconds before getting back the control of the thing. Never mind of using the TT5 if you receive an incoming call while tt5 loads..... it will be gone! An I have more than 39 Mb free memory!

Screens redraws that you can "see" almost by the pixel, etc. And I have just 6 apps loaded, tt5, Check Point, Pocket Earth, and a couple of games, none of then running altogether, but for the tt5-check point combo.

I know I can not return my unit for servicing just based on those problems.

:evil: :evil: :evil:

[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
And for locked bootloaders?

I really hope there will be a one-click root like on the 4.1 days :eek:
[Sony Xperia ZL] owlwood:
Just got the phone and already installed the latest version. I'm surprised that no one found a way to root without having to unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Try Nut's method... basically you downgrade to 4.2, root... flash nut's pre-rooted zip of 4.3, then flash the stock kernel and you're already rooted... (and can then install a recovery and go from there with all the rooted 4.3 goodness...)
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Only for already rooted phones on 1st 4.3 FW.. it says :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
IF you don't care if you save your current data... (or backup, and copy said data off your device) then follow this post to get to rooted 569 on a locked bootloader... Basically you downgrade to .67, root using the methods described elsewhere, flash a zip of the system folder that includes SU already and then flash the stock kernel via flashtool from a FTF.... then you can install recovery because you're rooted at that point.

Then upgrade using the files here... which uses a similar process as above to step you to 101.

I personally suspect you can just work from the files in the second set... but he knows for certain it works doing the stepped upgrade.

Reality is, the biggest problem is will you lose your data... and at this point, there's a high probability you can't gain root without losing it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Well that sucks..

Even if you did retain data, it still quite a hassel :crying:.

I really wish Doomlord (or someone else) finds a new exploit.

I mean, the program that was 'banned' here on XDA could do it...

edit: why does Nut's method to update to .569 NOT require root while update to .101 DOES require root?
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Actually, it's not Root as much as having a recovery that you can flash any zip files from... You're basically side stepping rooting via an exploit... you're working from the "I already have root and I can flash nearly whatever I want" position...
[Sony Xperia ZL] paabel:
Please advise :)

What is the best way to root and go to 4.3?

Is 4.3 stable?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Peter P.S.:
Well, I guess one way would be to use Doomlord Rooting Toolkit:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332407

The most dangerous thing it can happen if you're FW is not supported, is.. nothing

Yes, its worth the upgrade to 4.3

I'm about to share the C6503 10.4.1.B.0.101 Commercial and Journalists Generic R1C

And trying to make a flashable zip from it, if no one do it first.. hehe
[Sony Xperia ZL] paabel:
Root first and then take the ota, or should I flash 4.3 via pc and then root?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
If you update to 4.3 you lose root (with both PC and OTA).
[Java for Android App Development] mrsegev:
Hi,

To be able to call getFragmentManager() or getSupportFragmentManager() you'll need to use FragmentActivity, so what I would do is:

1. Make sure the activity that calls the asycTask is a FragmentActivity.

2. Pass this actvity to the asycTask.

Something like: (asyncTask method)

setActivity(Activity activity)

{

fm = activity.getFragmentManager();

}
[Java for Android App Development] searayman:
thats the problem, I launch the asyncTask from a fragment....
[Java for Android App Development] mrsegev:
Oh! So you'll access your activity like this:

getActivity().getFragmentManager();

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy I8190L.

When ever I try to download certain games from the store, it shows this message "This item cannot be installed on your device." however my wife has the same phone and she was able to download the game that Im looking for which is Plants vs Zombies 2.

I have disabled Localization for Google apps and ads and yet when I go into the Store, I keep on getting the message.

So after several failed tries, I used App2SD and extracted the .apk into my phone but It wont download showing that it wont find enough resources.

Any help?

Thanks in Advanced.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] pbrown77:
Yeh I know there is a topic about cases which I have read somewhat but it's getting quite long int he tooth and still not convinced what case to get for my needs.

I am after a case that is light and thin. Would not consider anything that isn't, even if it has a great finish like Noreve etc (Had one for my S2 but it adds too much bulk)

My main areas of interest I would like are

- Thin (lots of the nice looking leather cases are thick

- Light (same as above)

- The amount and quality of how the case stands up is good

- Material feels nice to hold

Now I am looking at the following cases.

- Genuine Samsung

- Seems the thinnest and lightest

- The standup arrangements are fairly limited

- The flap doesn't stay closed when carrying it a certain way

- Expensive

- Poetic Slim

- Reasonable thin and light but not the same as Samsung case (can it be felt while holding???)

- I like the arrangement when it lies almost on its back and has the buttons and usb port at the top

- The flap stay shut by a magnetic when holding it

- Reasonably cheap

Moko Ultra Slim

- Looks OK but nothing stands out over the Poetic one that I know of???

Any other suggestions for a LIGHT and THIN case?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] DeBoX:
Heard that there are some issues with the digitizer and the magnets on the poetic. A few youtube vis have been posted....

Anyone confirm?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] KobrakaiMM:
Poetic Slimline

I own (and use daily for over a month) the Poetic Slimline. It's thin, light and looks good. Magnets keep the flap closed nicely. I have had zero problems and I use the s-pen for sketching a lot. Even the edges of the screen show absolutely no problems. So I don't know if I am lucky or the others just have a faulty case.

The only thing I dislike is the flap as a stand. It works, but it doesn't feel as sturdy. I would have been better if it was more like those iPad covers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Felix1701D:
I have been using the Poetic Slimline on the Note (in red, if that matters) for a couple of months as well. It is a very nice case and I have no problems to report regarding the S-Pen. However, there are a few things related to the lid that are starting to annoy me and have me investigating alternatives.

1. The magnets that are supposed to hold the lid closed are not strong enough. If I hold the tablet as if it were a notebook with the spine (the side with the capacitive buttons) resting on my palm and start walking, the lid will open by itself after a few steps. To prevent this, I now hold it on the opposite side so that my palm is holding the lid closed. If I hold the tablet by the edges with the lid facing down, the lid will not stay closed. I also own a Nexus 7 in a Poetic Slimline case and that one has no problems with the lid staying closed. I think the size of the Note may be too much for the magnets.

2. I am not sure I can blame this one entirely on the case, but I have observed some problems with inadvertent screen activation. Because the lid hinge is made of the same leather-like material, it is flexible and allows the lid to slide up or down along the screen while closed. If you slide the lid up by about 5mm, the screen will turn on even though the lid is closed. For me this happens most often when I carry the tablet (in the case) inside a backpack. Similarly, the lid is thin and flexible enough that the home button is easily pressed. There have been several occasions when I have pulled the tablet out of my backpack to find it on and with the S-Voice user agreement on the screen (I don't use S-Voice so have never set it up).

3. This is a minor aesthetic issue, but the tri-fold elements on the lid tend to not remain flush with the screen when closed; it is probably just the nature of tri-fold covers. Personally, I would prefer a single piece lid that could be folded back, even if that would mean losing the ability for the case to serve as a stand.

If it weren't for the items above I would be completely happy with the case. In fact, I love the Nexus 7 version of it. I just think the lid material and/or the closure magnets are too weak for the increased screen size of the Note.

It's called the 720T.

So, don't break your phone, you'll get a replacement mono-band S4, not the Tri-band.

Also, I know they announced it a while back, but has anyone actually seen one in the wild? There was no release and they are not listed anywhere to buy. The website still has the mono-band S4. If you have a link to one for sale from Sprint, please post it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gonczarkid22:
i work for sprint, so i feel like eventually the warehouse will run out of mono-band and start using the tri-band s4 as replacements. ive known the S4's were switched to the tri-band since it was announced, i just wanted to let everyone know (who didnt already) that us existing S4's are getting screwed over!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
