[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
With Sony phones, Roms are VERY kernel specific. Also, the kernels/recovery are built into the boot.img. So if you change your boot.img, you change the kernel/recovery. Or if you want to change your kernel or recovery, you have to change the boot.img.

If you want to flash an AOSP based rom like Cyanogenmod, Omni, AOKP, etc... you NEED to have a kernel that works with those roms.

And its has to be a kernel that works with the version of android its based off of (jellybean(4.1,4.2,4.3 / kitkat(4.4, 4.4.2)

If you want to use a stock based Rom like RomAur, or eXistenZ, or even MiUi, you need a stock based kernel. And again the kernel has to work with the version of android you are on (4.2, 4.3). And for stock based roms, the kernel has to work with the specific firmware version.

For example, when sony upgraded from 10.3.1.A.2.67 to 10.4.B.0.569 (4.2.2 to 4.3), a new kernel was required, or we had to at least flash the stock kernel for use with custom roms based on the new firmware. And again when they went to 10.4.1.B.0.101, we needed a kernel based on that firmware update. Kernels based on .569 firmware had minor issues like rotation not working.

Once doomlord dropped support for the ZL, there werent many kernel updates or releases. Anything that did come out had to be flashed as a .FTF file with flashtool. Or the boot.img had to be flashed through terminal on your PC using fastboot.

Now though, we have a few dedicated, awesome people working on kernel support for this device. Gustavo, allspark, NUT.

These guys have really stepped up support for this device, and now there are recovery flashable .zip kernels that allow you to avoid having to use flashtool.

Hope i didnt confuse you. lol. I find Sony's devices the hardest and most awkward to mess with. But once you figure it out, its just like anything else.

Hey guys. I am frequently flashing ROMs on my Canvas 2. There are so many ROMs now that I really cant download all of them to try out.

I am creating this thread so that you can post reviews of the ROMs you have tried out. You can say how you felt about the performance (not just Antutu or Quadrant, but how u felt), was there any lag, smoothness, bugs, gaming performance, etc. You can also tell which ROM you liked best and why. You can compare ROMs here too.

I made this thread so that we can find out which ROMs are the BEST and list them for the users.

Don't be shy guys; say how u feel. And please try to review only 4.2.x ROMs only. :)

As usual, dont forget to thank.

Any link that doesn't take you to a site that requires you download 'their' rouge torjan software after navigating 46 pop up windows to actually get the zip file ?

Even the mirrors give you links to rouge .exe files and installgenio.dmg file on a mac. Seriously suspect .....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mehdi.moha:
Man !!!

i just one clicked on a link on that page : http://uploaded.net/file/pk2zbsgv

2 mirror is avalable

are u sure ?????!!!

i didn't see any survey , trojan ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nookcoloruser:
Yep maybe because I'm on a mac but as soon as I click on that link it takes me to a page where I click download and it attempts to download a programme called "installgenieo.dmg". On a PC I would be wary if I were you (run a malware check) because it may have downloaded something your unaware of. (it can't run self executables on a mac hence the dmg installer).

View attachment 2610774

this is where the link / mirror takes me.

Click on download and it installed the dmg and then opens this window.

I am not installing a rouge dmg just to get a zip file. Even the page tells you its basically hijacking your browsers home page.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Blindbart:
I have handhelds at work that run Windows 6.5 mobile embedded. eSOMS from ventyx is what we use. I would like to 1. have better hardware meaning faster CPU and bigger screen. 2. Android functionality for additional things like google glasses etc. 3. some kind of reader program to be able to have procedures etc.

Is there ANY way to do something like this. I have been searching on here and google searching and have come up with bumpkiss.

I can't believe with the money we spend on tech we are stuck with these pieces of garbage.

I believe an emulator that runs on android will do everything I want but don't see any.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rahnmat:
Hi,

I'm a bit stuck with my galaxy nexus. I upgraded to cm 10.1.2 and now my phone won't boot. It gets stuck at the part where cyanogenmod logo appears on the screen. Nothing else happens even thou I wait 10 minutes. Most of my problems stems from the fact that my volume buttons don't work at all, so I can't boot to recovery by holding the power button and volume buttons simultaneously. When I connect my phone to a computer and try to use adb to boot my phone to recovery i get 'device is offline'. The only workaround that I have found to this issue is having your phone turned on and making some changes in the settings of the phone; which I obviously can't do! Anything that I could do to get my device appearing online in adb without having to turn it on completely or do I got just a brick worth of 300€?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jhall8:
If you have the drivers installed on your PC, you may be able to recover using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. It has a setting for flashing stock to bootlooping phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lwysiwyg:
Hello there,

I'm facing a strange wake lock issue with Google+. It's draining my battery really fast ! Using BBS, I can see a 1h40 wake partial lock associed to "fingerprint_scanner_static" module for the past day. It's part of Google+.

Using Disable service app, I recently desactivated Google+ "FingerprintScannerIntentService" service, but "fingerprint_scanner_static" wake lock is still there. Maybe this one is related to another service, but I don't know which one to desactivate to avoid battery drain issue.

Has someone an idea to solve my battery drain issue ? I already tried to uninstall/reinstall app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vagraxy:

I can solved it.

Hello!

Starting some days ago, fingerprint_scanner_static drains my battery in a 6 or 7 hours even if I don't use the phone at all. And I don't have Google+ installed :confused:

Using DisableService app, I disabled FingerprintScannerIntentService from Google Play Services. But the problem persists. Any idea on how to solve this?

fingerprint_scanner_static kernel wakelock

Same here.

S3 running CM12.1-20150406-UNOFFICIAL-d2att.

Google+ not installed.

FingerprintScannerIntentService frozen using ROM Toolbox.

This kernel wakelock kept my phone awake for 1 hour and 42 minutes today. Single largest kernel wakelock by a long shot. Maybe I should install Google+ so I can Greenify it! Wouldn't that be a weird work-around?

Another update: I am back to KK 4.4.4 and still have this annoying wakelock not matter what I do (freeze G+, uninstalle it, use autorun or disableservice)

No other info can be found out there, so I think if no solution can be found here in xda, then there is no solution :(.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmTreo500v:
I have the same problem on a Galaxy Note 1. No Google+ and the FingerprintScannerIntentService is disabled.

In my case the wakelock is part of "GoogleServices". Restarting them stops the wakelock. So, no solution, but a workaround.

In case I find a solution, I will post it here.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spatinator:
Hey guys i recently bricked my xperia play. I was running cm10 when i wanted to downgrade to the stock image. So i tried to flash in flashmode but for some reason it didn't want to stay in flashmode, it stopps after about half a minute (it still does!). So i extracted the system.sin and userdata.sin from the Flashtool image and flashed it with the lupus gb/ics kernel.

That's where the trouble started. Total brick, no live sign whatsoever except for a little bit vibration after pulling out the battery and putting it back in and trying to turn it on.

Then, yesterday i was lucky and figured out how to get to fastboot in the bricked state: I pulled out the battery, inserted the usb-cable and the put the battery in while holding the search key... and viola i had fastboot working(For flashmode it was the same but as i said above it stops for some reason after some time).

I flashed the stock kernel and luckily it booted the kernel. But not the system. The kernel shows this weird image (attached below) and then it shuts down. Same goes with the ICS Beta kernel. i tried reflashing several times but it only booted to the kernel until that one image is shown and then shuts down.

Sooo yeah

Already thanking you for reading dude, I hope you understand it as German is my native language. If someone knows a solution please tell me, that would be awesome!

[Sony Xperia L] mizukage:
hi guys just new here in the xperia l development.

these are the things i wanted to know about our phone:

1. what is the differences between firmware c2104 and c2105?

2. is it possible to flash c2104 firmware to c2105 device? will the phone get bricked if we flash c2104's firmware to c2105?
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
The only major difference between the C2104/5 firmwares is the baseband, the part of software which operates signal reception.

You can flash C2104 firmware to a C2105 device (or vice versa) without having any issues, it will not brick.

But it is best to remain on the firmware for your own country for reasons related to the baseband-but it really does not matter tbh.

On a side note, the Xperia L forums feel so quiet, coming from the buzzing 2011 forums this forum almost feels dead.
[Sony Xperia L] frothe3:
I agree, the chatter has died quite suddenly.

I wonder if it is because of Sony's atrocious customer support?
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
Yea probably. The Xperia L and M just don't have the popularity they deserve-they are not bad phones, just lack a good customer base in terms of numbers. Also the fact that Sony has kept quite about updates may put people off.
[Sony Xperia L] frothe3:
I do like my L, although at times it does freeze up.

That is why I like a removable battery, when others on Sony's Google± Fanpage mocked me because of this.

When it freezes, I take off my case (Nillken), take off back cover, remove battery.

Then, put it all back together.

My biggest gripe is NFC; having lots of problems connecting via NFC their NFC Bluetooth headset (SBH-20) and speaker (BX-500), both of which I like very much.

Now, just connect via Bluetooth, all is okay. But Iike using NFC to connect and disconnect devices!!
