[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch845:
I was wondering if exist, or if it's possible to build, a special android release for old smartphones without basic phone functions, to be used just as standalone media player. I mean a basic distribution that allow just playing local audio files or remote files through wifi home network.

I have an old xperia x8, which is a good phone and there are a lot of android based custom roms, but i need to use it just as a media player.

As soon as I power it on it has to show a list of music files to play.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabecoool:
Bump!

I think this is quite an interesting question. I'm using my old Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) as a media player, and I've installed Cyanogenmod on it. I'm playing the songs (local) with the built-in Appolo, but if there were to be a music player ROM, I would be interested.

Maybe using a Slim ROM (SlimBean, SlimKat, etc.) and using the SlimSizer option to get rid of unnecessary things could be a way to get a version of Android stripped of everything you don't need in a music player. However, that won't show the list of tracks when booting the phone.

Hi guys, I've been waiting for a custom Rom for this device.

I recently installed C-ROM final ( and all the needed stuff ) onto it, but now, no USB connection to Windows Computer can be done.

The device seems to be no more recognized. So my question is, did I missed something ? Should I install another driver to get things back to normal ?

Thanks in advance for to those who will take a lil bit of their time to answer me (:
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I would normally ask you to provide a log cat over adb but as you don't have usb you need to do it differently. Install Catlog from the playstore and see if it detects anything when you plug it into your PC.

Which kernel did you choose when you installed CROMi-X?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sand9jack:
Ok I have done it. On the log I can see that "mUSBOnline" is always equal to = false...

Is there a way to definitely change these value to get USB available ?

From a kernel pov, I choosed the "modded stock" one!

Can you upload the logcat output please.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sand9jack:
Sorry I did not thought of uploading it btw. You can find attached now ! ^^

No idea tbh - try switching usb debugging on in developer settings? See if that triggers it?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithbyrne:
well at least i think it's a boot loop

turn the phone on, the Samsung logo will appear, then it will disappear then it will appear again and repeat infinitely.

I have tried wiping the data from the stock recovery - did not work

i have tried flashing a all in one .tar PDA file from Odin 1.84, which flashed with no errors - but did not work

will a .pit file help me ? and if so, where can i obtain one ? I can see a lot of people asking which pit file to use but i cannot see any downloads, this is a 16GB phone.

all help much appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Gotta tell us wat u did first before u got this bootloop.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithbyrne:
Hi, thanks for the reply,

I don't know what happened to it as a customer brought it into me like this (i work in a computer repair shop, sometimes people bring in phones too for unlocking and stuff)

the customer simply said "it was working last night and this morning, he remembers looking up something on his calendar this morning and then later on he took it out of his pocket and it was doing this (boot looping)"

whether or not that's true doesn't matter as that's the only info i got to go on,

so do you think a pit file would help ? ot do you think he maybe "burned out his NAND chip" (as i read on a similar thread)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Yeah it sounds to me like he burnt his NAND chip. Nid a new motherboard if so.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stogi5959:
Okay,

This is my friends phone and since i've done it i feel responsible,whatever.

The story goes,the xperia was on stock 4.2.2 i believe and we decided to flash 4.4 on it. So we downloaded the zip etc.

Now i've done the research and i think we shouldve first installed 4.3 then 4.4,i also think we shouldve flashed the kernel via flashtool first.

Anyway,now when i boot it vibrates and only shows the sony logo. I cant get into recovery.

We did manage to get into download mode with flashtool. But it disconnects (Do i need fastboot drivers,adb?)

Your input would be very appreciated!

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LaZiODROID:
You can hopefully use Flashtool to flash an appropriate stock FTF file to get the phone back to normal working order. There is a thread in here somewhere that links the latest version of Flashtool.

After you install Flashtool, you will need to go into its folder - inside of there is a "drivers" folder. Go in there and run the EXE. On the left side, make sure to click/check the driver for your phone (xperia V? or T or TL or LT30p or whatever), plus the Fastboot driver, plus the Flashmode driver. Let it do the install. **NOTE** Win8.1 will not allow these drivers to install. At all. Win8 will allow but you must disable Driver Signature Enforcement first. I dont know if Win7 has "driver signature enforcement" - if you notice the drivers are failing to install, that could be why. Look into how to temporarily disable driver signature enforcement and try these 3 drivers again.

Is anyone else having this issue? I have tried many ROMS and they all have the same problem

After a bit, the phone becomes very unresponsive. It lags really bad, starts to slow down. Then eventually, it's completely frozen, often during an animation

The only way to fix is to reboot

Are there any other fixes for this that don't require rebooting?

still freezes on d801

Yeah I have had the same issue with all the 4.4.2 ROMs I have tried and have yet to find a fix for the d801. That's why I went back to stock for the time being. Been using Cloudyflex ROM with Furnace Kernel and everything runs like butter, no freezes or lags at all. I really want to be on aosp, but until the lagging and freezing goes away no dice.

Hi Bro [MENTION=5415199]Thunder_Droid[/MENTION]

Thank you for the excellent ROM. This, in my case, is my best found ROM in the forum. Thank you once again [MENTION=5415199]Thunder_Droid[/MENTION] . There are a few i wanted to inform u.

-> No Camera app for me after i install the ROM. When i tried to install the Patch 4.2 Camera app also, It's showing installed successfully in CWM Recovery But could not find anywhere later. My Biggest Problem Please help ASAP.

-> I think this is the pre-rooted one. But I am unable to see the root folder/files. "My Files" is showing only the sdcard0. Should i get a new file explorer ? Better it would be if u include ES file explorer in every ROM of urs.

-> I did not find the Xperia Keyboard anywhere. How to use it ?

-> I could flash the Camera 4.2 patch and 1GB Swap feature patch successfully in CWM Recovery but could not find the camera app and could not find swap memory later.

Minor Flaws :

1) Air Gesture works partially. Photos are able to move only in one direction[my hand from right to left]

1.1) When locked, Screen doesn't appear using air Gesture.

2) Index column in Contacts[A to Z in right of Contacts] - For example:Clicking on M shows names starting with J. And some letters are missing in my index though there are names with that letter in my contacts,ex: D,E,K,P

3) No Reboot option when power button pressed long. Only Power Off and Airplane Mode given.

fyi I am currently on kernel 3.4.79 . Previously on JB 4.1.2 with kernel 3.4.0 .

[G Pad 8.3 General] Nightf0x_007:
Hi all

I now have a galaxy note note 10.1 2012 version which is abandoned by samsung and there is no updates released for it for more than a year now , it is traped in android version 4.1.2 and it seems that there is no chance its going to receive updates so im looking for lg g pad as a replace for my note but there is some reasons im affraid of buying the lg g pad

1. I dont know how is lg in updates ? Is it like samsung and after a short period of time it wont receive updates anymore ?

2. Poor dev support here , especially kernels , no kernels for lg based roms (i will stick to oem software , i dont like vanilla android (nexus))

3. I saw some forums here of people suffering from some defects in their devices

4. Most imp. Feature for me in samsung devices is multiwindow , qslide in lg , can i open any app in qslide mode or only the apps avaliable in qslide in lg g pad

Give me your opinions :)

Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
1. Even worse, it will get kitkat but that's probably it

2. Malladus and LRS are nice

3. Mainly small screen problems

4. Only Qslide apps

My advice: If you want latest android version but don't like AOSP (seriously, what is wrong with you? ;) )

Get another tablet. I'm afraid you won't find any tablet that gets updates if it's not NEXUS
[G Pad 8.3 General] RobilarOCN:
My tablet has no defects, no blue line, no bleed etc.

It is not the brightest tablet I've owned but I never run tablets at 100% brightness so that is moot. Case selection is limited but getting better. I own a couple of different ones (VOIA is the best quality).

The G Pad will be getting kitkat this quarter. Not su re why everyone harps on this point. Unless an update is providing a significant improvement in the tablet is it really necessary? I'm actually not sure what kitkat will give me over what the g pad has now.

If you really want to ensure that you get regular updates, get the Google play edition of the G Pad. That one will definitely get ongoing updates on a regular basis.

Once you go from a 10" to an 8" tablet it is hard to go back. The weight and bulkiness of the larger tablet becomes evident when you use something that can fit in a medium sized pocket.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Craic Dub:
Which case for the Prophet would you recommend?

My main criteria are:

- Screen protection

- As slim as possible

- Leather (desired)

- Cheap :wink:

Any advice is greatly appreciated.[/list]
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mhojlo:
the slimest there is... you can't use the touchscreen unfortunatly (or am I wrong maybe?)

anyway I havn't seen a leather case that wouldn't make a brick out of a prophet. I find it strange - you can quite comfortably put a prophet in your pocket, wich makes it very portable, but you can't have a case that doesn't spoil it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
You might find the following case suitable. I believe it adds the least volume to the unit given that it is conformal and very thin. (There might be something better, but I'm not aware of it.)

http://www.ebcases.com/Detail.bok?no=3331

There is also the possibility to customize the case as well for a fee. Thus one can ask the supplier to minimize thickness rather than providing the maximal protection to the unit.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] drwhitesnake:
After much pondering I came to the conclusion that having no case was best. It keeps the prophets small foot print and is still very useable. Invest in a good screen protector though.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] thulsey:
I felt exactly the same until I accidentally dropped mine about 2 1/2 feet onto a tile floor and it dented/scratched the top corner of the device. Not extreme, but it was only a light tap on the ground.

I immediately went out and bought a gel skin made for the Prophet. Adds nothing to the weight/size/form-factor of the device.

I saw one that had a flip down plastic screen protector as well, but figured that was a little overkill.

Of course, these are in cell phone shops all over Asia, don't know about other countries.

I've found many people on the street using these skins instead of cases just because of the form-factor element. It's a shame to ruin such portability and, dare I say, elegance, to protect it.

But even now I feel like one of those guys that leaves his television remote control in the cellophane wrap so that it won't get any wear and tear... it was made to be used!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Craic Dub:
Hi vsc, that is a great case - the best I have seen so far! Thanks for the link.

I see that this case is for the Jam though - are the Jam and Jamin 100% identical (the form is identical (I believe) but not the button arrangement, right?).

I will contact ebcases directly also.

Thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
I asked the guys in the UAE and was told that the JAM / JAMin are identical. From the spec sheet they are within 0.2mm in size.

To be honest I had one of these in hand a few weeks ago and there was no issues with button placement and fitement in the case.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Craic Dub:
That is the reason why I really think that a protecting case is necessary (in case the device falls that is) - specially for a $600 device.

On the flip side, adding unnecessary bulk to a device which was purchased due to its slim form factor is kind of contradicting. Thus, I am searching for a very slim case, which still provides protection.

thulsey, which silicon case are you using? Have you heard of Skintight cases from Pamwarelabs http://www.palmwarelabs.com/Products/ProdList.aspx?CateID=36 ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Craic Dub:
Thanks vsc!

As long as the cut outs are not covering buttons, I guess thats fine then.

So, from the pictures of their website, the case really looks very tight and it appears that it doesnt add any (at least not too much) bulkiness to the s200. How does the case appear if you saw this it in person and on a Prophet? Do the pictures reflect the impression given on their site?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
What about these?

Has anyone tried out the aluminium cases like the ones sold on expansys? Or this one for example

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=71

I know the last one is kind of not a case, but a carying holster, but nevertheless...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
Yes the pictures are a good representation of the actual case.

Note that the cover flap has padding on the outside surface, but the supplier can manufacture the case without the padding to reduce volume. There is a hard card within the flap, so I don't consider the padding to serve any purpose.

On the other hand the case I'm using while I wait for the leather case is from Brando,

http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwsiliconecase_details.php?id=49

Simply put the unit in your pocket with the screen facing inward.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Craic Dub:
I will contact the supplier to see how much the case would be without the padding. Anything, which makes the case a little slimmer helps - specially for that price.

Btw, is it cumbersome to put the silicon case on and off? I was thinking about the silicone case but I would have to put the device out of the case every day (for charging in desktop cradle and car mount, etc) and dont want o fiddle with this each day. Way easier to simply slight it into a case.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
Changes to the case were US$10.

With respect to the Brando case...seconds. The problem is really related to the material's affinity for dust. Drop it in your pockets and you would be amazed as to the mount of crud it picks up. It wipes off with a microfiber cloth or cleans up with water.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Zero 360:
got a brando silicone skin and it tore in the corner of the screen where it is thin. It also had a spot on the keypad that was thicker making it look like a black dot and not transparent. I found it to fit very well, but was a little thick, felt like a Wizard when holding it. Dust isn't too bad if you're not a dirtbag.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] thulsey:
The one I'm using is very similar to the one from Palmwarelabs. It even has raised icons on each of the buttons so you can (sort of) feel what you're pressing. I think it's a local brand here in Taiwan, but I'll look into it and see if I can find it on the web.

When I was searching, I noticed that there are several different thicknesses of silicone, and various levels of craftsmanship that go into cutting things out (like the screen area, infrared port, etc.)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] clayrussell:
Get the flexskin from www.boxwave.com!!

You won't be dissapointed!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
Hey...

Aluminium cases anyone???
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Craic Dub:
hey vsc, I talked to EBCases today and they said that the case for the Jam wont fit the Jamin due to different button arrangements.

According to EBCases' customer service agent (very friendly and helpful!), they are working on a new case right now, which will then fit the Jamin. The new case would probably take another 4 weeks in order to be released.

I might just wait for this new case, since their case really is the best I have seen so far (and I have looked at a lot of them).

2) download the latest cyanogenmod nightly - http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=honami&type=nightly

transfer the .zip file onto your sd card

3) boot into recovery (by turning off your phone, turning it back on and tapping the up button) and DO A BACKUP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7815OazAECQ
