[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] SmashMii:
I thought of a way to have two ROMs, but i don't know if its possible. Basically I would make a nandroid of the first ROM, then flash the other ROM, make a nandroid of it aswell, and then restore them, depending on which one I want to currently run. The ROMs would be Termin (currently 2.5) and CM10 (if CM11 comes out, then that). Please answer me, if you know anything about this.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
Sure, that's possible. A dual boot(2 at the same time) is impossible for our phones.

Mats
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] SmashMii:
But could you tell me, what is the easiest and the best way to set up this 'dual boot'? Oh, and did you recover any corrupt data from your HDD, Mats?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NeoTrix:
Dual boot is possible on htc pico[a relatively weak device]

I don't see why it's not possible on our phone.

Just that,there are great devs in the pico section. That's it.

Hopefully,if we get such dev support,anything shall be possible.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
Dual boot needs a modified kernel. We don't have the devs to modify this for us. Just create 2 back-ups as you said ;)

And no, the HDD was completely wasted... Lost 50 GB of songs, a lot of movies and a lot of mods :(

Mats
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
It's possible if someone really smart would do a ramdisk hack to enable the other rom to be saved on a different partition which is the external sd card

As far as I know only samsung phones have dual boot roms :)

I use SSD :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
Yeah me too. Since my HDD is useless I had to buy a new one. My friend could get a cheap 500 GB SSD. One of the best decisions in my life! Together with Xubuntu and Windows 8, it brings speed to my 7 year old laptop.

Loving it!

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] SmashMii:
Ok gonna look into it later, but do any of you guys have info about the approx. date of CM11 being launched for Xperia E?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] SmashMii:
Oh, but do i have to flash a different kernel every time when I switch between them? And what firmware does CM11 use? (11.3.A.2.23?) And I read somewhere that Termin is soon to be CM10 based?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
I guess the dualboot app will flash the img files for you
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NeoTrix:
Htc pico,Xperia M. :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
yup cm11 needs 2.23 as base, it has its own kernel(boot.img)

mats will be releasing

Edual termin then there's a slimbean rom coming up ,then cm10 based new rom (based of termin)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] SmashMii:
Ok thanks everybody, but when switching between ROMs do I need to flash these kernels before or after flashing ROMs? And what app should I use for flashing these kernels?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:
Ok, just putting it here:

1. Choose which ROMs you want to switch between. It must be on the same firmware(otherwise you have to flash the .ftf again). So your only options are Noz and Termin, Noz and CM10 or Termin and CM10.

Here I will be assuming you choose Termin and CM10.

2, Flash stock 11.3.A.2.23.ftf

3. Flash Zeus kernel.

4. Follow the install steps of Termin. After you've set it up, downloaded all your apps and stuff, make a Nandroid.

5. Now flash hsr0's CM10 boot.img(download CM10 from here: Odexed: https://mega.co.nz/#!61xHAIpb!EJ88RAnmrF-UBHv9POhB-YIzEpQQwZKdqcNBhnlpwDg

Deodexed:https://mega.co.nz/#!7ppm1YLA!IyGvBI06OlBpJFwevL08mBuVYI6kYQOirIt7pv81wDU

6. Boot into your preferred recovery and follow the install steps(don't forget the Gapps)

7. Again, install all your mods/apps and other stuff.

8. Make a Nandroid.

9. Here comes the part where it's all about. Download this: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/cwm-kernel-flasher-v3-xperia-miro-tipo-t2481671

10. Make a copy of it, so you have 2 .zips. Rename one .zip to CM10 kernel and the other to Termin/Zeus kernel.

11. In the CM10 one you place the boot.img by hsr0.

12. In the Termin/Zeus one, you rename Zeus.elf to boot.img and place it.

13. So you have: a CM10 zip with the CM10 boot.img and a Termin .zip with the zeus boot.img.

14. Place these .zips somewhere on your sd card.

15. So: you are on Termin, but you want to restore your back-up of CM10. Boot into CWM and flash the CM10kernel.zip. Now reboot system, boot into CWM and restore the Nandroid.

You are on CM10 and want to restore your back-up of Termin. Boot into CWM and flash the Terminkernel.zip. Reboot system, and restore your back-up.

Note: always make your back-ups in CWM. It's more organized, and the back-ups will be in the same folder.

Note2: don't rename the back-ups. Keep them as they are and remember the date when you made them. Write it down or something

That should do the trick!

Mats
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Nope, you don't need to flash kernels, long as you're using the same recovery [CWM, as stock doesn't seem to have TWRP]. I dual-booted between CM10 and CM11 this way - it's fun to use both ROMs, but the waiting time is pretty large.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
If both ROMs are compatible with the same kernel then no need to flash and re flash more kernels

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mollarsonne:
Hi,

I'm sure that's a dumb question, but I had to ask it. :o

I have a Gen8 tablet, and would like three things:

Backup the whole ROM in order to put it back later on

Use that ROM in order to build another one for the same device

Use that ROM (look&feel, apps and so on) to build another one for another device

I've seen that some firmwares (with root) are available for this tablet, and would like to understand how they were built.

Did the developers start from aosp + archos "modified" kernel, or did they start from the existing ROM (aos files from Archos)? Or even a mix of all that?

I installed the SDE yesterday, and have yet to make a complete backup. :rolleyes:

Thanks.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
Its hard to say where to start after asking these questions. You should read a lot before doing it. Roms based on Cyanogenmod like Buzcuit's one are easy to backup. If you base a new rom on the existing one you will get the bugs of the main rom (Bizcuit's for example) and the bugs of the new rom.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mollarsonne:
Thanks for your reply.

I don't know if I'll try a new ROM for such an old device, but do you know how these ROMs were made?

I've seen there how to build a new kernel for the tablet, but not a complete system (I often build android-x86, but never tried aosp).
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
This is rooted stock firmware. Its made by Archos. You should read a bit more about it. I am not a developer and I have pretty basic knowledge and I havent tried myself. Biz and the others can help you much more then me. But ya, u have to read pretty much to start.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mollarsonne:
Ok, thanks.

Hi,

After searching a lot finally got something to share with you guys.

SHAREit App From Lenovo... Its the ultimate File sharing app which can be used in Both PC and Mobile File Sharing.

I got the link to download this from Official MIUI (nexus4) File Transfer App.

Need Description ???

•	Share everything with other devices – pictures, videos, music files, documents, contacts…even apps!

•	Devices with SHAREit can automatically find each other when in range.

•	Transfer HUGE files and videos in seconds …up to 40x faster than Bluetooth®.

•	Share without the need for Bluetooth, phone network or active Wi-Fi network…you don’t pay a cent for network charges. Devices wirelessly connect directly.

Different kinds of data transfer application are available on the Web like Xender, Zapya, Superbeam etc, but one of the best apps where I personally used is shareit, it's also available for shareit for PC and laptops. Its data transfer rate is compared to other apps is high and low network wifi easily to transfer data. After reading different views and getting more information about shareit.

There isn't already an official thread about this wonderful little tablet Asus Vivotab Note 8 , so here i start one :)

I can't be the only one who bought it, i hope xD
[Windows 8 General] searchworlds:
i have the 32gb version.

I bought it for the wacom digitizer and office student, in particular onenote, that together are my idealistic perfect tool for my student activities.

Straight out of the box i had a problem with the Windows Store, i couldn't install any app because every time i clicked on the install button the download didn't started and the app was going to Pending state.

After an afternoon on official Microsoft forum that suggested ton of fixes , and none of them worked, i solved the problem following this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2vnhcoKCeQ
[Windows 8 General] lordgodgeneral:
I got the 64GB version. Can't say I've had any issues. Put a 64GB micro SD in, and redirected most the libraries, Skydrive to point at it. I've got my steam games split between internal and the SD card.

I picked up one of the I-Blason Case and screen protectors off amazon. The case works nice, the top cover can fold over doesn't get in the way much at all.

Haven't had any issues with the MS store on mine, was able to purchase and install the plex app no problem as well as a e-reader app and a couple others.

The only thing I've noticed with mine is that the stylus isn't terribly accurate around the edges. It makes trying to grab some of the slider bars in IE and other programs a challenge. I've seen some of the calibration guides here and have been debating trying one of them to see if it would improve that.

Edit: I also tried Bluestack for getting some android apps running, but it's been pretty abysmal performance with it with some apps not launching at all, and others I can launch, but then they just don't work correctly. My high hopes for using it with this table have pretty much been trashed
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
Can you post a screen snip of Disk Management (from Win+X menu)? I'd like to see the storage layout.

Also, please post the Windows experience index. It's hidden in 8.x. Run 'winsat prepop' from CMD. Wait to finish, then run 'get-wmiobject -class win32_winsat' in PowerShell. Actually, just post the scores of all the components. TIA.

Note 8 was out in UK/EU a month ago, so info & reviews are already on Youtube. It improves upon DVP8 w/ good stylus support, but is also more expensive, now that DVP8 has hit $200 bargain bin. OTOH, by virtue of being first (and heavily discounted), DVP8 has garnered a decent-sized userbase.

Asus Note 8 + DVP8 + Lenovo ThinkPad 8 & Miix 2 8 + Acer W4 + Toshiba Encore round out the Win tab 8" crop. Here's my Cliff Notes comparison: DVP8 = cheap, Note 8 = stylus, W4/Encore = HDMI out, TP8 = 1080p res.

For me, stylus support is critical, not for note-taking, but for running desktop. But I'm also looking for more ports, and these don't have them. Cherry Trail is on tap for Computex, and should roll out in fall, so Bay Trail will slot into the low-end in a few months. Win 8.1 won't change, but hopefully the hardware will have better capability at lower price points. At $300'ish, they can't compete against iPad Mini, hence the $250 goal w/ cheaper Win license and 16GB SKU.

As they are I think it's a good first effort. If MS can swallow its pride and allow good desktop use--eg w/ integrated pointer in bezel or stylus--I think Win tabs can do well. Because Metro for now isn't enough to win (excuse the pun), and chubby fingers don't work for desktop.

Since MS' Surface line is intended to be hero devices, a good question is whether MS will come out with a Surface Mini to spearhead the mini-tab effort--and if it does, whether it'll sport the comatose RT (in hopes of a Hail Mary miracle), or with an Atom, competing directly against its OEM partners.

Could you tell me how to get skydrive to point to the SD card only? Also what libraries were you successfully able to direct to SD? I attempted to re-direct temp files and app data but that ended catastrophically with all things in metro including system restore settings disappeared, and would not even come back after returning things to normal. Had to do a full system recovery with a keyboard plugged in to force it to restore mode.

Verry Good Thanks
[Windows 8 General] lordgodgeneral:
Moving SkyDrive is pretty easy, just open explorer on the desktop right click and go to properties. There's a tab called location where you can set where its local files are stored.

The other thing I relocated were Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads.

I haven't see too many people try to move the apps folder though, but symlinks would possibly be your best try, though I have no idea if that would work or not.

I've only had mine for a couple of weeks but I already enjoy it way more then any of the android tablets I have. The lack of apps is discouraging at times but I've always been able to find a desktop alternative and enjoy a better gaming experience playing my steam games.

I agree that all the current 8" tablets leave a little to be desired. To me it came down between this one and the TP8. The hdmi out and 1080 sounded nice, but I really didn't see myself using it very often, I have a htpc hooked up to the TV already as well as a laptop, and a the 1080 would work great over hdmi, but I figured it would actually hurt the desktop experience when using the 8" screen. The Wacom on the note 8 pretty much sealed it as this was mostly for on the go use.

The one item I would really wish for is a dedicated charging port and separate USB port so you can use USB and charge at the same time. I dont see that happening as I think Intel and the OEMs are purposefully neutering their designs specifically so they can't be used as a cheap desktop replacement via hdmi and a USB hub and possibly cut into the sales of their more expensive models.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>...a dedicated charging port and separate USB port...I think Intel and the OEMs are purposefully neutering their designs

A better explanation is that it was cheaper to go the single-port route, since getting to the $300 mark is the paramount consideration for Win tabs. Even so, they're still too expensive to be competitive, as evidenced by DVP8's drastic discounting. This won't change with $250 as the goal for upcoming gen. The next crop will be as barebone as the present one.

Vendors won't be motivated to invest much in their products, with no improvement in Win until next year. Low pricing will be key, and most vendors will be content to use Intel's reference design with little differentiation, as was for this gen. The good news is that we'll see $200 Win tabs by year end. If MS & vendors can get desktop to be functional (read: cheap stylus support), they'll have a compelling pitch against the sea of Androids.

Has anyone found a non magnetic case yet? Finally discovered the wonky stylus input was due to magnets, go figure. Waiting impatiently for poetic to do one of their productive cases for the tablet.
[Windows 8 General] searchworlds:
Even with a non magnetic case, there are the two magnets of the speakers, so near the asus logo and front camera there will always be some distortion I believe.
[Windows 8 General] lordgodgeneral:
I got one of the i-Blason cases off amazon, it has magnet on the right side of the case, and one in the left most flap on the edge for folding over the cover (other i-Blason cases have up to 5 on them). I haven't really seen any issues using this case with the stylus. My experience has been that the accuracy drops some close to the edge of the screen, but this happens with and without the case, so I don't think i'm getting any distortion from the magnets on the case.

Let me know if your interested, I can get the exact model off amazon for you.

Hi Guys,

Maybe somebody can help. Got the Tablet a few days ago. Everything is Windows ;)

Is it possible to hold Network and for example an audio stream when Tablet is in Standby (Energysave) whatever....screen off???

I can't find a way to do so....screen off....everything stops...hm. No further Options in Energyplan Menu....

Thanks in advance....
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
Open an elevated command prompt, and run 'powercfg /a' to see if Connected Standby is available as one of the sleep states (it should). Then, run 'powercfg /sleepstudy' to track battery drain. More info here,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn495346(v=vs.85).aspx

If CS is available, then go into Device Manager | Network adapters, check Advanced tab to see if there's an option to keep connection alive during sleep (this should have been par for CS).

It could well be that drivers are still buggy, which would be kind of normal for these, being the first-run models. DVP8 had bunch of problems with CS.

Other powercfg options to check out,

powercfg /energy (report system energy use)

powercfg /batteryreport (history of battery usage)

Other cool things shown with /?.

Stylus question

I just got my new AVTN8 yesterday and was hoping that the stylus would make it easier to use (I bought and returned the Toshiba Encore a few months ago) but I guess that I was spoiled by the Samsung S Pen.

Is there another compatible stylus out there that has some of that kind of functionality? I tend to take a lot of screenshots while researching various topics, so that would be my main usage.
