[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafithegreat:
Hi there,

I am currently running ARHD 71.1 with EX 14.12 kernel and all is running flawlessly and am enjoying all the different features. I am S-OFF, and all is sweet.

However - I am contemplating the option of flashing a new firmware due to it supposedly giving "optimal performance". Now, I haven't flashed any firmwares to my device to this date. I was under the impression that the ROM version under the "About" section under Settings was in fact the firmware version - an assumption I now realise is mostly incorrect.

Therefore - how would I go about flashing the latest firmware - as in, would I flash the newest (6.xx.xx) firmware now, and wait for the new ARHD ROM to come out, and then flash that ROM on top of it? Kernel first? What's the optimal order of flashing when dealing with firmwares?

Many thanks for any assistance :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
If ALL is sweet, why mess with it?

For firmware flash you need to get your main-ver from fastboot getvar all output and get those OTAs. Long story.

This is the output I get when fast booting "getvar all" -

What do I learn from this, aside from the fact that my firmware is the 4.2.2 base firmware, and that I'm leaps an bounds behind the most recent firmware? From what I gather, I do not need to do an OTA update to get the newest FW, but rather download the modded ones from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53642366 and flash it... Or am I wrong?

Friends,

I cant stop cursing myself for not purchasing Android tabs instead of 2 Windows tab Asus Transformer Book & Dell Venue Pro I own. I like all the feature except the very limited games and apps that I can access from my Windows tab.

Before I change my mind, Bingo... one of my friend help me out to install Android OS on my tab! He just took 15 minutes to do it for me. Pretty cool huh?

Got it working for Vista RC2

You have to first read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837637 and change your driver INF file accordingly. I have a version of the P2K driver file that recognizes the motorola V360 which I'm attaching for ilustration purposes.

Hope this helps...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rav:
Working on Vista RC2 Build 5744

Thanks for that. It's now working in my version of Vista (this post is written whilst using the USB connection).

I used the files attached which I tweaked thanks to xargons17's note.

My tweaks included changing the following so I could check the correct driver was being installed:

[Strings]

PROV = "HTC"

USB\Vid_045E&Pid_0079.DeviceDesc = "RAV Hermes WM5 USB Modem"

USBFilterString ="RAV Hermes WM5 Modem Driver"

and it involved changing the following reference (commenting out usbser.sys,,,0x20):

[UsbModemFiles]

;usbser.sys,,,0x20

;

; Explicitly states the usbser.sys should not be taken from the CD/Disk

;

When installing always choose 'Let Me Pick From A List of Device Drivers On My Computer' option. And choose 'Have Disk' to navigate to the attached .inf file. The device being installed should be the 'RAV Hermes WM5 Modem Driver' or whatever you decide to call it in the [Strings] section. I changed the strings name so I could be certain I was selecting the correct driver/device.

This assumes that the file usbser.sys has been copied to c:\windows\system32 folder as this is hardcoded in the usbmdm.inf file attached. Make sure you have the usbser.sys in that folder before attempting to install.

Hope that's helpful to somebody else.

Easy as ABC to resolve Vista USB problem..

Hi guys, I have been having lots of prblem with USB devices ( pen drive, USB portable HDD, IDE-USB HDD, USB MODEM, PDAs etc.. ) but I have found a simple way to resolve all my problem then going thru different ways to resolve issues caused by different devices..

Please read below:

Special Thanks to: http://teknobabble.wordpress.com/20...ems-installing-a-usb-media-reader-a-solution/

Problem:

•In C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository I had two folders named “usbstor.inf” but each one had a different set of numbers attached to the end of the folder name. <- could this be where part of the problem lies?

•When I looked in my C:\Windows\inf folder I discovered the usbstor.inf and usb stor.pnf files were missing <- this definitely had to be an issue.

Once I discovered these anomalies, I proceeded to copy the pnf and inf files from the most recently updated usbstor.inf folder to C:\Windows\inf. I then went back to the update driver wizard, pointed to the inf folder and what do you know but they all started working again.

So with some scepticism I tried this approach and it worked.

I have also attached a ZIP(.doc) file with screen shot for easier reference.

Hope this helps everyone.... :)

Apology for the late reply.

I attached more files to share.

Hi!

I followed all hints, but it doesn't work. The driver can not be installed says Vista. Files are placed in the correct folders.

Thanks

I just reinstalled vista,

plug the device and vista will download via "windows update" the correct drivers - do not disconnect the device during the installation.

now, if you want the USB drivers, put the device into BOOTLOADER mode and plug it,

run windows update again and it will install the USB drivers - do not unplug the device during the windows update installation

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mademos:
Check AK Kernel thread.

The second post contains links that explain each option.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/orig-development/kernel-ak-t2473454

In regards to schedulers.. It depends on what you do with the phone (i.e. How much time you spend on it, if you multitask or use it for CPU-RAM hungry apps).

In any case the answer will probably revolve around SIO, FIOPS, DEADLINE and ROW (In no particular order).

Lastly, keep in mind that there are certain schedulers that do not play well with specific governors. If in doubt, leave the default kernel configuration as it is.

Happy reading.

2. Info or scores on other sports like cricket...or Wimbledon open

3. Horoscope cards....

4. Technical tip of the day ...

Etc....

Does Google learn what cards to display by itself based on what you search frequently ?!?

Not specifically, but...

If you visit a website frequently that generates words of the day, they will start to appear in your cards
