CLICK FOR THE UPDATE​

Here is a way by which you can Change the Displayed Custom Rom Name:)

THIS CANNOT BE DONE BY EDITING "build.prop" FILE SO READ THIS GUIDE FOR XPERIA DEVICES CUSTOM ROMS.

Software Needed (downloads attached below)

1) Java

2) 7-zip

3) Notepad ++

4) Advanced APK Tools

Files Needed From Custom Rom:

1) framework-res.apk (from "system >> framework ")

2) SemcGenericUxpRes.apk (from "system >> framework ")

3) settings.apk ( from "system >> app")

Expected From You :

1) Some Time

2) Patience

3) Basic knowledge of Installing Software.

Step wise Guide

STEP 01 : Download and Install "Java" and "Notepad++". Extract "Advanced APK Tools".

STEP 02 : Place the Three Files mentioned above from Custom Rom to "2-IN" folder of Advanced APK Tools.

STEP 03 : Open "Advance ApkTool.exe"; it will check Java on your your PC and then you will get a screen showing different options.

STEP 04 : Type "1" and press Enter to select the Option "1- Install Framework". Install "framework-res.apk" and "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk". Then come back to Main Menu.

STEP 05 : Type "2" and press Enter to select the Option "2- Decompile Files". Decompile "settings.apk" and wait for some time as it will take some time. After decompiling minimize "Advance APK Tools" but DO NOT CLOSE it.

STEP 06 : Open "3-OUT" folder in "Advance APK Tools" folder. There you will see a folder names "Settings.apk". Open this folder and go to " res >> values " folder.

STEP 07 : In the Values folder open the file "strings.xml" using Notepad++. Press "ctrl" and 'F" keys on the Keyboard of your PC at the same time to find the Rom Name as shown in Device. After Finding the ROM Name replace it with Whatever you Want. Save this file and Close is.

STEP 08 : Go back to "Advanced APK Tools" and Type "3" and press Enter to select the Option "3-Recompile Files". Recompile "settings.apk" and wait for some time as it will take some time. After recompiling close "Advance APK Tools".

STEP 09 : Now go to "4-OUT" folder of "Advanced APK Tools" where you will find "settings.apk". Extract this file using 7-zip.

STEP 10 : Open the extracted "settings.apk" and delete the file "Android Manifent.xml " inside it.

STEP 11 : Open 3-OUT" folder. Then go to "Settings.apk folder >> original " from this folder Copy all the contents i.e. "META-INF" folder and " AndroidManifest.xml" file and paste them in extracted "settings.apk" in "4-OUT" folder.

STEP 12 : After all this, select all contents of settings.apk in 4-OUT Folder and add them to archieve using 7-Zip and replace ".zip" extention by ".apk".

Place this "settings.apk" into "system >> app " folder of Custom Rom and flash this Custom Rom. You will have the ROM NAME changed.

Hurray!!! You have successfully Changed the ROM NAME of Custom Rom for Xperia Devices.
[Sony Xperia C] ApriliaM3:
Firstly, this thread has nothing to do with Development so I've moved it to General where it should have been created.

Secondly, you have no permission to attach the file: Advancedapktool.zip

Thirdly, you posted no credits to the original author for this tool.

I've removed the tool and linked to the original authors thread instead.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CapinWinky:
Like a lot of people, I rooted, busyboxed and installed SafeStrap. Unfortunately, I can't boot anymore, the best I can do is get into SafeStrap or recovery. I know I can manually remove safestrap using adb shell.

When I try to run adb shell while in SafeStrap, I get this:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libc.so" needed by "/sbin/sh"; caused by library "libc.so" not found

If I'm in actual recovery, adb devices does not list the phone.

Someone please help me get into ADB shell so I can dump SafeStrap!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Try "adb shell /system/bin/sh"

Something's not right, as there's no "/sbin/sh" file on my *stock* SGS4.

However. Removing Safestrap will probably just brick your phone. What build, bootloader, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CapinWinky:
I'm NC5. I rooted with towelroot. Everything was actually working fine for several days, then I let the battery die and now I can't get past SafeStrap. I tried your suggestion trying to launch ADB shell and it returned the same error.

When I run ADB devices while in safestrap, it returns as being in recovery. I can also get it into sideload mode in the stock recovery. It is not detected when rebooted into Download.

At this point, I would be happy to completely factory reset with ODIN if that's even possible. I'm not familiar with ODIN, so I'm trying to read up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgrov:
While in Safestrap (I'm using v3.72 on a Galaxy S4 NB1), go to Mount -> Select "System". After mounting the system partition, I was then able to adb shell into the device like normal.

NOTE: One difference in adb that I noticed was that I lost my adb shell root access in Safestrap mode (even tho the device was rooted beforehand). Might be something with SELinux.

HTH.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dackjaniels:
Hi,

I managed to spend about ten minutes in (fresh) water with my nexus 5 in my pocket recently.

I took it apart, dried it off and charged it.

I can get the phone to boot but only ever see the faint glow of the backlight at the bottom of the screen. The display, and it seems the touch functionality, are not working. I know the phone boots because it rings when I call it, I hear notifications and I was able to connect to it via my PC and copy across some data. When I press the power button the backlight comes on but only after a few presses whereas I would expect it to kick in immediately.

I decided to buy some isopropyl, removed the pcb shields and soaked and scrubbed the boards.

This made no difference, still all I see is the backlight.

I thought the lcd was broken so ordered a replacement but it turned up today and it shows the exact same behaviour, backlight only.

Any ideas how I should proceed to troubleshoot this. Apart form the power switch which doesn't seem to be responding as I would expect the phone motherboard must be (almost) fully functional as it connects to the network and receives calls, texts and emails.

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Update:

I should also add that I disassembled the screen and cleaned the diffuser, lenses, etc. with isopropyl.

Before doing this when looking at the right angle with the backlight on I could make out water trapped in the screen.

It's now all clear but still didn't fix the lack of pixels :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If a new screen didn't do the trick... That only leaves the motherboard.

Water is evil.... You can spend and spend and keep missing the real damage, or find more things are damaged.

I'd stop spending and put the cash towards a replacement. You could replace the motherboard only to find out it still isn't right.

IMHO... If a device gets wet, and anything at all stops working .... Just replace it. Sorry to hear!

If you got extended warranty that covers drops and water.... You're golden. If not... Shopping time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:

[HTC One X] Blackvibes:
Hey guys,

After a long time not using my HTC ONE X, I decided to sell it. However, I want it to return back to stock.

I thought I had a Nandroid backup, but somehow.. System.img is missing. Even checked my backup hard disk, but on every backup I have, the system.img is missing..

Now what can I do to return back to stock and sell my HTC One X?

I'm having an CID: E11, version 3.14.401.31.

I've checked the XDA Nandroid collection and there are some for the E11, but only higher and lower than my version..

Thanks!

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perou:
Hello everbody!

At first, my English isn't very well, so sorry for that.

My Problem:

I wanted to install CM 11 on my Ace I (GT-S5830i), but this extremly failed. To keep it short, i haven't any OS on my device now, but I can enter the CWM (version 6.0.1.2)

What I have done:

Install CWM

wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition (but in the Stock recovery)

format /system (in CWM)

Now I get the error message:

E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log

I tried to install CM 11 (for the Ace I (GT-S5830i) for sure)

Install zip from sdcard

but I get these Messages:

Opening update package...

Installing update...

This package is for "cooperve.GT-S5830i, gt-5830i devices; this is a "".

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11...

(Status 7)

Install aborted.

E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log

E: can't open Cache/recovery/log

E: can't mount Cache/recovery/last_log

E: can't openCache/recovery/last_log

I was so silly and didn't make a backup.

When I try to start the device, only the gt-5830i-Logo appears, of course, ther is no OS installed.

So what can I do? Is there any chance to install an OS?

I also tried to install the Stock Firmware with Odin; result failed.

Thanks!

Edit:

Odin works, now I have the Stock Firmware, but I can't flash CM 11;

Error Message;

E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightly Coder:
This error is not serious, it just means, that it cannot create log files, because of the missing cache partition.

I also got this error when using the "on-the-fly" CWM.

If you install a ROM (which has a kernel), then CWM gets installed to the recovery/kernel partition, then you have a "rock stable" CWM.

Hopefully without errors. But for now, you can just ignore this error.

On some devices the device info in the properties is empty, and therefore the updater-script thinks, the device is not supported.

If you know exactly that your device is supported, you can delete the first lines of the updater-script.

Steps

Open the *.zip with WinRAR or similar

Go to META-INF\com\google\android

Extract the updater-script (Drag & Drop), don't close WinRAR

Open the updater-script with your favorite text editor (i.e. notepad++)

Delete the first lines containing "assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "your_device" || getprop(...) == "...");"

This line can be on multiple lines, so be sure to delete the complete "assert" statement

Drag & Drop the modified updater-script into WinRAR (same folder as before)

Optionally sign the *.zip

Install it with CWM

Be sure what you are doing (at your own risk)

If it worked, feel free to hit Thanks :victory:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perou:
Thank you for your efforts, I really appreciate it, but I solved the Problem.

As I said, now I have the Sotck Firmware (thanks Odin ^^).

I flashed CWM again with Odin, and tada, I could install CM 11, without any Problems.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightly Coder:
Yeah, flashing the CWM with Odin is another great solution.

Then you have a working CWM out of the box, and the device properties are setted correctly.

I'm glad it's working now :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wberube:
Which version of Android are you running? If you're running Android L Preview Port, I suggest you updating it to the latest version as ART was unstable in previous versions. Otherwise, you should try finding an OTA update to your current ROM, backup everything (Titanium Backup or Nandroid backup) and erase /data partition, wipe dalvik cache.

[AT&T LG G3] crazililazn:
Hey guys,

I've heard all about the audio issues people have been having with output through an AUX cable and I have yet to test that. However, I have another issues where noise/hissing is introduced when I have headphones in and the charger is plugged in. It's especially prominent when not playing audio, but still having the headphones plugged in. I believe it is something to do with the poor grounding of the 3.5mm jack, so I am currently contemplating returning this device.

I was wondering if any of you guys can reproduce this issue or did I get a bad unit?
[AT&T LG G3] Tweakecho:
Could be poor grounding on the jack, but more likely is the Charger is introducing noise into the phone itself. lowerend chargers have this problem more often than others, or it could be something else plugged into your power strip per say. Since the phone has no "real" grounding to "earth" all noise from your outlet ie house also flows through the device.

I did a lot of research on this with my Skyrocket cause it was annoying to have that hum... ended up buying a grounding powerstrip to fix it. hope this helps a little..
[AT&T LG G3] crazililazn:
I have tried with the LG charger and the charger that came with my S3 and both cause noise in the G3. Although I haven't tested it with a grounded powerstrip, I have never had this issue on my Galaxy S3. What I have tested is plugging in the charger to a powerstrip and an outlet in the wall and both cause the noise in the G3.

If you have a G3, are you able to reproduce this issue with yours?
[AT&T LG G3] Tweakecho:
Okay so i just used like 4 chargers, 3 sets of buds and 1 set of over ear headphones and 2 outlets. I can't get my G3 to make any noises what so ever except the slight hiss (only while playing music) with the over the ear headphones, but from what i read elsewhere i think it might have something to do with the in-line volume control.
[AT&T LG G3] crazililazn:
Hmm, that probably means that I got a bad unit then. I have tried with a set of of Beyerdynamic DT770s, my stock S3 earbuds, and Klipsch S3 earbuds. Since the DT770s have a higher impedance (80 ohms), I hear practically no noise. However, I hear a ton of noise with both of the earbuds. You think I should go get a replacement?
[AT&T LG G3] Tweakecho:
Don't know your set up but i would take it buy the store and ask to "test" it on another unit and see... something seems amiss for sure..
[AT&T LG G3] crazililazn:
I notice that the noises become more prominent whenever I do something with the touchscreen. Definitely seems like a grounding issue with the phone itself... Can you try your test again and see if your phone makes electrical noises when using the touchscreen?

Install the offical rom first and then upgrade to others?

should be someone experience on this but no one give me help...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
if your phone is CID unlocked, its the same procedure as the upgrade.

just pick the ROM you like and downgrade

(might be smart to install the official Qtek 2.20 ROM first, and then install anything you like !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] xpking:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] xpking:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] wilson77:
Surely u can downgrade as I was also using 3.2 but then decided to downgrade to 2.3 lvsw(latest one)...its irrespective of cid

locking...as i also have G4 device which is CID unlocked....

Procedure is quite simple...first downgrade to offcial WWE rom (older one) and then upgrade it from there...just follow what id described in this thread's first post...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=283965

I was also not sure abt this and I asked the same question here but didn't get any response so finally i took the courage to downgrade which went thru very smoothly...

Hi,

Tried Everything, But neither ADB works nor root. Only flashing can write to system.

Used all sorts of techniques to mount /system as rw, but failed.

Using latest Rooted stock ROM(4.4.4 - 14.4.A.0.108) on my z1. Xposed Framework is also installed (flashed obviously as the system mount was not working)

As I am not able to write to system, unable to install the modded Google play (MOD EDIT, MENTION OF WAREZ IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN IN XDA)

The app Busybox Installer was also unable to install the busybox, so flashed the latest busybox.

Used all sort of commands to make system rw using adb but none worked. Neither any app to mount /system in Play store did.

Flash tool was also unable to edit permissions to rw.

Please Help!!

Thanking XDA users and developers in advance

Warm Regards

What tool did you use to root your phone?

Perhaps you can try re-rooting using rootkitXperia tool.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @soka:
Hi ,I had the very same problem a few weeks ago.

Solution... for me, was flashed stock 108 ftf and re-rooted using the latest version of Easy Root . I used V11.

Install SDFix: KitKat app from play store. And you should be good.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I would suggest you do not have root.

Check if you have killed the ric.

Goto sys/kernel/security/Sony_ric and see if the file called enable says 0 or 1. Also check it just after a reboot.

If it's a 1 you will lose write permissions to the system partition after a reboot, which explains the symptoms you are talking about.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traybourne:
Recently I updated my phone's ROM to the latest ParanoidAndroid and franco.Kernel r210. Since then, my TouchControl has stopped working saying there are no saved modules detected. That happened pretty often when updating so I would normally just download the module again, but turns out the developer of the app also took down server that the app would download them from and did not release the modules offline or anything leaving everyone to their own devices for trying to use his app

I tried restoring data with Titanium Backup, but the app still says no saved module detected and tries to download it and fails. Does anyone know of a way to get the module to activate? In the Galaxy Nexus thread, the developer said the module files are just stored in the app's data folder so Titanium Backup should have backed up the necessary files and restored them. Could someone maybe upload their app's data folder with a working module for the franco.Kernel to test with?
