Question

-

What's new in 0.201 ?

Answer

-

There is nothing new in the themes and appearance.

Bugs have been Fixed

LED Bug - Fixed

RAM Bug - Fixed (Kind of) - Now there is about 200MB RAM free

Bravia Engine - Not Working

Overheating - Fixed

Battery Usage - Fixed

Touch screen response - Fixed

Screen Flickering - Not Fixed - Very few people are facing this problem

Touch response - Still lags sometimes

Camera - Worked for me even in 0.266 so there are no changes in my phone. Other users can leave their comments below and I'll update this post.

Pros-

Stock ROM - Warranty will work

Available Ram - Available RAM Is sufficient for doing most things.

Cons -

Bravia Engine not working.

I know this is not very good looking, but I am not very good at making threads.

Hope you guys will understand.

Thanks

All Set..

All the Bugs have been fixed and the phone is running smoother...:D Now Sony deserves a great thanks from all of us. But they must confirm the KK Update for our device (Doesn't matter when they give the update).. Anyways Great Update!!

RAM Bug is not fixed, it keeps frozing, crashing, slowing and bugging all the stuff that runs on this phone. Clean installation, really sad.
[Xperia SP General] Bennybtc:
Did you do the full clean installation? Like software repairing on pcc? Let me know if the BE2 album app is works after repairing software:D:)
[Xperia SP General] Salo-S:
full instalation, wiping and cleaning all the stuff. I flashed the FTF using flashtool64, my bootloader is unlocked so i can't test the Bravia Engine 2 right now. Tomorrow i'll update a XSP BL from an friend and i can test it if BE2 is working. I hope it works

[Xperia SP General] Looser99:
Still some bugs are left...

Bugs not Fixed :

1. Installation/Uninstallation progress bar graphics bug still available (How silly of Sony not to fix this small but annoying bug. It's really shameful)

2. There is still screen flickering bug when waking up the screen (if stamina mode is enabled)

3. Still i can't see any Bravia Engine in album (If anybody has the time then please double check this)

4. White Balance setting still returns to default if phone is rebooted (both manually and by force reset)

5. Still there is lag with scrolling and problem with navigation button transparency in a specific menu (Settings -> Xperia)

6. I don't know if this falls into the topic but i backed up my save game data using Helium to my external sd card but now i can't restore my save data. It says 'there is an error occurred when restoring game data' .... Have not faced this problem before. Any ideas ?

Bugs Fixed :

1. Volume slider graphics bug when using custom theme

2. Rhythmic Led bug in walkman when volume is full

3. Battery life seems to be improved by a little margin

4. Ram management seems to have improved a little bit but can't be sure though because i had lots of apps and games installed before and now its an empty phone

5. Screen flickering only happened to me when i tried to wake up the phone from deep sleep during the use of stamina mode in previous firmware and it's still the same to me. I don't know if its a bug or not but according to the op, it has been fixed

6. Never had any problems with overheating even after heavy gaming for like 30-40 minutes but the op said so himself that it has been fixed so i guess it's good

It really seems like Sony has not been listening (again) to their consumers complaint. I have been a hell of a fan of Sony Ericsson since the days of T610 but this might as well be my last Sony phone. They are very poor in providing software updates, rom optimizations and bug fixes which is not to be expected from a brand like Sony. After all these complaint, they have just fixed a small number of bugs which is very disappointing... And um sure that if they provide kitkat for XSP after all, then it will be a very buggy one and we wont even get a bug fix update because our 18 months of support time will come to an end by then :mad:

guys do i need to uninstall recovery to be able to receive updates through ota?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
I have an upgrade available on ATT, looking at the One M8 or the S5. I like to flash stock ROM's that have been tweaked to remove bloatware, and add better battery life. Been using Android phones for years, had the first four Nexus phones ( N1, N-S, G Nex, N4 ), a couple of HTC ( EVO 4G and One X ), and a few Samsung Galaxy phones ( S2, Note 2, S4 ).

My last HTC was an international One X, and man did that phone piss me off flashing ROM's, had to go through all this fast boot crap, and command prompt stuff, and all these extra steps just to flash a new ROM or kernel, and then always had to make sure I was up to date on my bootloader update or something ? Bottom line it was a big pain in the balls, and frustrating.

My Nexus 4 was easy as pie to flash ROM's and stuff, but the battery life sucked. And I currently have the ATT S4, and this phone is locked down tight, no flashing custom ROM's or kernels on this, only root that's it. So I think I am done with Samsung on U.S. carriers for now.

So lets say I get the ATT One M8, I see it can be rooted pretty easily, and a custom Recovery installed ? What about flashing new ROM's ? Is it as simple as just rebooting the phone to Recovery, and wiping data, etc... then flash the ROM zip and reboot and all good ? Or do we have to go through the bootloader and command prompt stuff on this phone ?

Thank you :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Depending on how good you are with ADB and your computer Command Prompt, the hardest part to rooting and flashing custom roms would be unlocking the bootloader as you need to take additional steps to unlock it unlike the Nexus line of devices.

But it's a AIO(All In One Toolkit) in the international threads that haven you just click, copy and paste pretty much.

After that all you need to do is install a recovery and flash away. No more need of a computer every time you want to flash a rom like the One X did
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
Thanks. I understand that rooting and unlocking the One M8 is more in depth and longer process than a Nexus phone, but once that's completed, and a Recovery installed on the phone I just want to be able to download ROM zips to the sd/card, and quickly reboot and flash a ROM and be done. I was really turned off by that international One X crap, flashing a ROM became a major ordeal.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Yup you can just download the rom to your SD card and flash from there
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dxwilliams40:
Are the international roms compatible like with the m7
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Crazypinoy9:
its not hard at all and shouldnt take you more than 20-30 mins. its relatively simple actually.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] pureilluzions@gmail.com:
i just got the att m8 , it has hboot 3.16. i was able to unlock with htc dev, s-off was easy on firewater, but i have not been ablle to successfully flash other roms. the phone will finish successfully but upon rebooting into the new rom, the phone will get to the screen when u chose language then reboot itself every min or so from booting up. i havent tryied to flash any aosp roms yet, i have a feeling that aosp roms would work fine, but i dont want an aosp rom yet. i feel like its a sense thing. i have tryed to change my phone to a developer edition, changed cid to supercid, flash developer nandroid, same problem, i sim unlocked and using tmobile sim card no issues there, but the stock rom my phone came with is the only one that works.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Alaris:
I would go with the M8 I had the note 3 as my last At&t phone and no one was ever able to unlock the bootloader.

Hey guys. I have a little problem. I recently updated my galaxy s2 skyrocket to Beanstalk Kitkat. This rom is top notch and I am loving everything. However i have noticed one problem. My button lights are not turning on, neither on notifications and neither when I am using my phone. They go off for a while. They just wont turn on. And then come back on after a while. So what is the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Seguraf13:

It gives me good time when my phone is idle. But when i am using it, the battery drains so fast! Any solution?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukedoom:
I just got a LG970 white for free, i've checked the specs and I think it has exactly the same CPU and graphic processor as the Xperia Play. Just tested Dosbox Turbo and I was pretty dissapointed with the performance, the games are unplayable. Im limited to 2000 cycles tho, because I got the apk of Dosbox "for free" and it says I dont have a license to use higher cycles.

All im asking is: can anyone try doom in Dosbox Turbo and tell me how many framerates are you getting? If it's as ****ty then im not going to bother with buying an Xperia Play becuase I wanted it for Dosbox Turbo mostly (and obviously the sliding gamepad)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukedoom:
Well I would like to avoid OC as much as possible. I would like to see how Dosbox Turbo with the optimal cycles configuration runs on games like:

Doom

Duke Nukem 3D

Warcraft 2

Starcraft

Age of Empires 2

basically the good ol dos games
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukedoom:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
On Xperia Play, speed on dos emulators is about as Pentium I at 66MHz.

Hardly Doom can be playable (but i'm sure it will work)

For me, even Settlers 2 run slowly (but playable)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukedoom:
Doom runs pretty smooth on a 486 so it should be perfectly smooth on a Pentium I at 66mhz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWHo74jiLh4

Can anyone try it out with Dosbox Turbo and confirm? Be sure you are using Dosbox Turbo and not other emulator because others suck. Also enable the correct cycles.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukedoom:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUEguy:
I could try for you, but I don't have any idea of how emulate these games on my play. If you have some tutorials it would be nice :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rufoo:
Depends on the game. DOSbox Turbo, while very robust for what it is, cannot perform miracles on aged hardware such the Xperia Play. Running DOOM or DOOM II on DOSbox Turbo on this device is not very good (I have multiple Plays) even with generous overclocks. Anything which uses the BUILD engine such as Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Redneck Rampage etc... runs even worse.

In terms of relative consideration, these pieces of software were quite taxing on the hardware available at the time.

Warcraft II runs very well under DOSbox Turbo. Starcraft would not as it is win32 based and not DOS based. You could use Winulator which specifically runs Starcraft but I believe it has an intolerance for Gingerbread.

If you wish to run DOOM or any of the ID Tech 1 based games I would suggest using source ports such as the excellent ports by Kokak such as DoomGLES etc...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scopewiz:
Which kernel is best and most stable to use with stock ROM as I'm new to this device just seeing what other users opinions are that have been using it for some time.

Also does Odin have to be used for flashing is can it be done threw the standard procedure of going into recovery and flashing via install zip?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
Most stable is the kernel by arco68 made for rooted stock roms.

Yes, some kernels can be flashed via CWM provided they are the correct format.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scopewiz:
Would you be able to link that kernel thread as the 1 I have found closest to that was 1 based on arco68 kernel.

I noticed that before as I used that guide for rooting but was looking for a kernel with a few more features but if this is the best to date I'll stick with that, thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
You're looking for stability so that's the most stable.

I'm personally using f4ktion's 1.3.6 but that version is currently only for AOSP roms. Sticking with Samsung stock roms you only have f4ktion's 1.3.0 to play with but some have reported that its features (BLN) are not working.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysKin:
My favourite would be F4ktion's, and I spent the last week on it.

Unfortunately the wifi seems to be broken - works at first, but sooner or later (typically within a few hours) something happens, phone becomes hot, wifi can't be switched off, and everything becomes laggy.

Battery will last two-three hours once that happens and the phone will blame wifi for 90% of battery usage.

Only reboot fixes it, until it happens again.

During the last week I was experimenting with different solutions such as using stock's configuration files (the stuff under etc/firmware/wlan/prima) as well as trying to replace the prima kernel module from other kernels. Nothing helped.

(well, most of my attempts made wifi not work lol, the few that worked didn't fix the problem)

If anyone has any ideas what else to try, it would be great -- the kernel was great otherwise (after lowering minimal frequency down to 160-ish MHz battery prediction exceeded 6 days, and that's before I undervolted anything).

In the meantime I'm on Vikinger's kernel - not because I use its features but because installing it was the easiest way to get wifi working again,
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scopewiz:
Does Vikinger's custom kernel support performance control where you can change clock support etc?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysKin:
No :(

No clock change beyond what stock has, no undervolting.

It doesn't have any interesting governors either.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkyde:
like I said. It's just arcos kernel with the extra of bln support. you could have get that information from the first post of the vikinger kernel thread. all features are mentioned there ;)

I posted this question in the Networking Forum but got no replies. But here is my problem:

I messed around with the Network adapters settings, while trying to get WiFi to work properly.

Now everytime I connect to ActiveSync via USB, I get the error message, "Unable to obtain Server Assigned IP address". I am sure this is because I set one of the adapters to "Automatic IP", but I don't know which one. Moreso, my Wizard does not access the internet properly when connected via USB.

Could someone please tell me which adapter I wronged, and what setting its supposed to be?

Hi, make this:

Enter 255.255.0.0 for subnet

It functions on my Wizard...:)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ADB100:
I did the same as you, messing around with settings..... :(

Anyway I think this is the procedure I did to screw it up.

Click Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters.

Then select Remote-NDIS host. The radio button to 'Use specific IP address' is selected but no IP address is entered. You can't exit this screen without either adding an IP address or selecting the 'Use server-assigned IP address' radio button'. If you select 'Use server-assigned IP address' the problem appears thereafter.

To fix it (or at least restore the defaults) you need to edit the registry:

HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp\

Change the value of 'EnableDHCP' from 1 to 0.

That fixed it for me.
