[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
don't bank on the devs coming up with a new root method for 4.3, currently there isn't a need for one since we can all root on 4.1 then unoffically upgrade with a pre-rooted firmware, this is a relitevly simple procedure and can be done within an hour
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
It wouldn't be an hour for me, unfortunately. It would likely be three solid days of profound agony and disturbed sleep. Even tonight, it took me hours to connect to PC Companion to run a fresh copy of the firmware and the thread related to the 4.3 pre-rooted firmware suggests there are still a few issues. The great and mighty Doomlord's Toolkit takes seconds and works perfectly. I am sure I am not alone in my concerns.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
+1 on what [MENTION=4393511]matt4321[/MENTION] said in the previous post. Downgrade to 4.1.2, root, and then backup your TA partition with Backup-TA, flash CWM v8, and unlock bootloader if so desired.

If you want to be on 4.3, once you're unlocked, and after flashing any Official 4.3 FTF, you can then flash a kernel that can be found in EXR leaked 4.3 thread which comes with CWM already included, and finally proceed to flash SuperSU in recovery.

The minute one of the Official 4.3 FTF's came out I flashed it and tried the kernel I just mentioned; it's been working fine, probably even better than the official stock kernel (even though it is based on a stock kernel, only with CWM, that's why you need to be unlocked), given that I don't have a single one of the bugs that people are reporting exist on the Official 4.3 Roms. Battery is at 40% and I am already at almost 35 hours on a single charge.

If you already have the FTF files, this procedure doesn't take more than 40 minutes, if you're comfortable with and know what you're doing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
I hear you and will very likely give it a shot as soon as I can find the time (if only this was my only concern). At this stage, I'd be inclined to use Doomlord's Rooted&Deodexed ROM as it doesn't require unlocking the bootloader, but it is still a long way around to get root for the 4.3 version I am already using.

What I don't understand is, why would anyone comfortable with this whole process want to run 4.3 anyway when KitKat and supposedly better ROMs are widely available? Doesn't make sense. The truth is, the Sony interface is very well implemented already, and I'm beginning to think that better shortcuts and flashy sidebars are not worth the effort of trying to deal with flashing custom ROMs. I don't want a smartphone - or any computer - loaded with more utilities than apps that actually do stuff. That, I thought, was part of the rank old days.

I read about five web pages devoted to explaining what deodexing actually means and I still don't know, and probably never will.

I'll mull over the situation as I get drunk tonight!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Well, the thing is you need to backup your TA partition, which is the only reason why you'd have to go back to 4.1.2, which lengthens the process.

Regarding odexing/deodexing, read this.

Obviously, in your case it's simple, since you have an XT and there are several custom ROMS that are currently being actively maintained for that device; you can do pretty much anything you want.

Others, like myself, have an XTX, and apparently none of the devs working on Roms actually have an XTX, so developing for it is a hit and miss. I tried CM11, and it was working flawlessly until I realized that half of the time the phone should be in deep sleep, it does not sleep due to kernel wakelocks. A battery that lasts 6 - 7 hours is no use for me. Therefore, my only option was to go back to JB 4.3.

The people who actually bought an XT have a wide variety of ROMs to choose from. On the other hand, those who have an XTX have about 3 or 4 ROMs (at the most), with the only one actually being maintained, is CM11.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
Oh, I get you. Still, bit of a faff, isn't it? These devices will be old before they can be utilised perfectly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
Custom ROMS still have a way to go unless stock based. Although the stock 4.3 isn't flawless, its better for me than the 4.3/4.4 custom's running on a 4.1 kernel. Every i've tried comes with the proviso that you will suffer blue screens of death at random until Sony releases the 4.3 kernel open source for them to merge. Some guys are hardcore though and putting up with reboots and crashes is a normal part of the game as it's not a bug - they are waiting for Sony. There's also another huge issue (for me) of the speakerphone never working correctly at the Sony volumes. They have to turn the volume of the whole ROM down to compensate and this makes it hard to hear in a noisy environment, a frustrating bug for me which has hung around since 4.1. You can max the volume up with a file which someone did, but it breaks the speakerphone then so you can only have one or the other.

In a lot of ways I am one of those guys though, I do like to experiment and am comfortable with the processes but I always find what I flash causes me some frustration before long so I go back to stock. If I had the knowledge to help fix problems it would be a different story and i'd stick with custom but as I can't I don't really see the point until 4.3 sources come out and its all a bit more stable.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Mine is working perfectly with the Official 4.3 Stock Rom, kernel from leaked version, and several Xposed modules I use to customize the experience; which for now, aside from the fact that CM/OmniROM/Slimrom and most custom ROMs don't have bloatware and or many apps I don't need, as well as the fact that they are a lot lighter on resources and disk usage, I'm not really missing any features of custom ROMs. As a matter of fact, I posted somewhere else in these forums the scripts I use to disable/remove a lot of apps that come with Stock ROMs that I consider crap anyway (+70 apps).

And maybe in a near future the FXP team will eventually fix the battery drain issue, who knows....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
Great to hear other people's thoughts on this.

Just because of my time limitations, my current plan is to go back to stock 4.1, root with Doomlord's tool, backup TA, then install all my apps and configure my settings until I'm happy (no mean feat in itself), then upgrade to 4.3 when I know there is a simple root process available.

To really experiment with everything, I'd need two preferably identical phones because I simply can't afford the time with no working phone (and previously had so many apps I was really starting to enjoy). I can't take in all these things plus all the other crap I have to deal with plus the hourly potential of minor tweaks that will one day very soon be meaningless. I am certain there are huge advantages with certain ROMs, e.g. battery life, but I'll need to wait until Xperia Ts fall below £50 on Gumtree to see the benefit.

I'm sure this will disappoint some folk, but I have actually learned a great deal here and will continue to keep abreast of what's going on for sure.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wobba-Lee:
Some one can correct me if I am wrong but isn't going back to 4.1 and rooting that 70% of the effort, another 25% of the effort is installing CWM on the device and the last part is flashing the pre-rooted rom? As long as you take a nandroid backup before flashing a rom if it goes tits up back to rooted 4.1 exactly where you left off in a jiffy?

if that is the case if you are going all the way back to 4.1 and rooting. Take 30mins one evening to install CWM, should only take about 2mins.

Download the pre-rooted rom.

Create a backup in CWM when you have a spare 30mins. should take about 1min of your effort and about 10mins of it doing its business.

Install the rom through CWM when you have another spare 30mins, should only take about 5mins.

You don't need to set aside days to work on this with 4.1 -> root -> CWM -> nand backup -> flash root can be done in completely independant stages and you will be up and running in a day or two.

As the 4.3 is for locked bootloaders no messing around with TA backing up or bootloader unlocking.

just my little input.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
Despite my trepidation, how could I back out now? But it is beer time, gentlemen. Time to flash my own custom ROM and soft boot all day tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
I am back on the case and a few days off has given me a bit more clarity about everyone's responses. I am now back to stock 4.1 and have rooted with Doomlord's toolkit, BUT cannot progress past installing CWM as I cannot find a v8 that works with locked bootloader, and I have honestly tried all the variations I can find here. What version is best to install?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LaZiODROID:
:D 'sup pf!

CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip can be found at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012738

scroll down to the "installing" area, and it says "older versions can be found here" which links to davidmarco's stash. Choose the Installer folder (not "flashable" folder) then download CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pfhastie:
Thanks, LaZiODROID, that was the final solution. The version of CWM you referenced worked like a charm, and I installed Doomlord's 4.3 ROM in a matter of minutes, verified rooted and ready for action. At last I can start to create on this charming little machine.

I continue to find this forum one of the best I have ever encountered, and greatly appreciate everyone's help, so thanks again, y'all.

On an altogether different note, as if the gods were working in tandem, I have just received the final two accessories which complete this phone, a Ballistic case which looks great and makes the side buttons far more functional (while providing optimal protection, of course), and a Scosche BoomBOTTLE, a rugged Bluetooth speaker which sounds

very

good and has a battery life which outlives the phone. Perhaps I'm the last one at the party, but I can't understand anyone with a Bluetooth-enabled phone who doesn't have a portable Bluetooth speaker - it's like having an orchestra with you wherever you go!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurka84:
Hi, sorry if this is posted somewhere else I couldn't find it.

I'm Using CM7.2 It works grate, exept for a strange problem. The phone is inactive next to me but without turning it on not ever touching it, the sound of the camera starting is played.... I turn it on but no program has been launched nothing happened at all.

If any can give me a clue of what can me happening will be apretiated
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
Is not the sound of the camera but of some internal program which was automatically closed or opened. Don't worry....
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldimann:
Since a few days these sounds keep appearing on my phone too. I'm on CM11. Any clues what "internal programs" could be responsible?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipCetero:
Have you tried disabling "Screen lock sounds" in Settings/Sound? That kind of sounds like the camera sound... sorry if I'm totally wrong.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldimann:
Screen locks sound are disabled. I get the feeling that these sounds appear when I'm in an area with bad wifi coverage, but I'm not quite sure. They appear even when the phone is muted, by the way.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demothon:
I keep hearing camera sound from my phone too once in a while. I'm on Quarx's 4.1.2 atm. The sound doesn't seem to appear according to a pattern but randomly, and not extremely often. Once when I heard the sound I was curious if it was from the actual camera so I put it next to my ear with the camera to hear the sound better. It was from the camera, like the sound when the protection cover opens or it focuses or something (I'm not good with cameras). It wasn't produced by the speaker, it was a mechanical sound. Hope this helps anyone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Malware, perhaps? That sound is heard as the camera application is started. Can you hear a fainter sound after the initial sound, the one which is heard as a picture is clicked, the 'focusing' sound
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldimann:
It's the same sound effect that appears when opening the camera, not the "focusing" sound or the sound when taking a picture.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharathexe:
Maybe Skype?

I read in CM11 thread that this kind of sound was caused by Skype. Have u installed skype? If so, uninstall it and use the mobile for one day to see if the problem gets solved.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldimann:
Thanks, I put skype in the greenify list and I think that fixed it.

I'm on Mokee 4.4 as well and have the same problem with latest JBX. It prevents me from getting carrier signal. i thought it was originally a problem with the liquidsmooth I was trying to install but when I tried applying it to Mokee it stopped my cell signal as well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Check your APNs. If there's nothing under the APN settings try the "Reset to Default" option. If that doesn't work, you'll have to Google the APN settings for your service carrier and input them manually. Or, better still, if you can find the apns-conf.xml that is specifically for your carrier download that and install in /system/etc then set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
10% mod in JBX installer breaks your signal, and also your sdcard recognition

I installed Shurikkb 20c, it works fine for me.

then i try 2/25, battery life is not good.

so i revert back to 20c now
[Motorola Atrix 2] psymon stark:
hmm not sure what i'm doing here. reset to default gave me no luck. After manually entering ATTs info and selecting save from the menu, no APN shows up in the 'list' i supposedly just populated with an entry. Searching for available networks also leaves the phone searching seemingly indefinitely, which would work just fine before installing the JBX. As far as copying an xml into that directory, not sure how to do that.

And as I was trying to use USB mass storage for it it won't work for me either. I'm gonna have to give up on the JBX kernal, time to find a non kexec to resolve these battery issues. thanks for trying.

ah hah THANKS!

I'll try this.... and waiting 5 minutes for edit...

that's what did it. Thanks again, working now.

damn,,, looks like i'll have to drop it anyway, USB storage still wont work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
CM 26-2 + JBX 27-2 and I have awesome battery life

USB Mass storage is normal

You must do 2 steps to make UMS work: (swipe down from notification bar)

- Change to Mass storage

- Turn on usb storage

Anw, you can use Solid Explorer to send/receive your files with PCs in your network.
[Motorola Atrix 2] psymon stark:
Alright, I'll give that one a shot. Thanks.

When i was attempting to use the USB before I would bring up the dialog for it, then Click "turn on USB" then it would give the warning saying apps might not work, etc, then click ok to that and then it would engage. Witht eh JBX on mokee or liquid, clicking "turn on USB" would just sit there with the loading circle indefinitely.

Gonna hit up CM within the next day or so see how that goes.

[Sprint LG G2] AymanDev:
I recently flashed the 1.6.1 furnace kernel and my phone began to act strange. I did not deviate from the instructions and took precautions. The phone would turn on and seem functional for 20 seconds. After that, it would turn off and restart. I flashed the stock rom and unrooted the phone, however, it continues to behave this way, only now it isn't rooted and I cannot access the recovery menu.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Is the Kernel Undervolted/Overclocked by default? Some custom kernels are UVd but not all phones can handle that.
[Sprint LG G2] AymanDev:
I don't believe so. I chose the non overclocked version to be safe so it should't be. Is there a way I can flash a custom ROM onto the phone without recovery mode and without it being rooted?

Sorry to say, but that's not possible.

Should I just keep trying or is there something I should change.

(I have reflashed the stock .tot before and it worked. Using the same method now doesn't seem to work)
[Sprint LG G2] metapy:
Take it back to stock with download mode. If this does not fix the issue then the phone needs to be replaced. If going back to stock doesn't fix the issue you might want to work with the developer as I have heard of this before. Might just be faulty hardware as it doesn't seem common, but there may be something the custom rom is doing that is the cause. Hoping a factory restore fixes things for you.

Did they halt the 4.3 roll-out?

I mean, my S3 LTE had constant updates for countries. Day-by-day new countries got the update, and eventually it hit my phone as well.

But the Note 2 LTE ... there is just nothing. A few countries got it, and that's it.

For example in Hungary, even T-mobile is clueless, when will they get the firmware.

What the hell is happening?

(The CM10.1.3 causes huge battery drain (by Android System). Yes I tried to disable everything, and nothing helped. It will suck off the battery like a madman. 4.1.2 was good (is good), but the WIFI is really unstable with it. 4.3 should fix this, as I had this issue with my S3 LTE as well.)
