[Windows 8 General] KN2014GE:
I've wanted to boot and (later) install Android on my Acer Switch.

At first I thought that I can use Images from Android On Intel but it doesn't boot, because the Switch 10 has an 32 bit efi (Intel only supports 64 bit).

Then I've found this thread on xda-developers:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46929905&postcount=16

So I prepared an Ubuntu Stick, but before I've copied the Androidx86 image to it, I wanted to test whether it boots Ubuntu.

And of course, I can boot Ubuntu so it's clear, that the Stick is 32bit efi compatible prepared.

Now I've copied all files from the "android-x86-4.4-r1.iso" to the new created "android"-folder and edited the grub as given.

Then I boot up the Acer Switch, selected the Android and it seems working. But it crashes to the command line as it was expected.

Now I have to type in "exit", but there is the issue. The Acer Keyboard Dock is not recognized by the command line.

After that I've rebooted and retry the same way but with an connected USB Keyboard. Same too. It''s still not recognized.

So, Is anyone there, who got it, to boot Androidx86 on the Acer Switch 10?

In addition. I've also changed the grub setting by deleting the command "DEBUG=1". Then Android boots up to "Detecting Android ...", some other logs and to the blinking curser, but nothing more. It freezes before the Android Boot logo would appear.

No

The DRM keys will get lost after unlocking on every firmware. Every device. Every android version.

If the bravia engine 2 works fine that's don't means the DRM keys are still there.

No Note Edge for the UK

Received today by email From Clove Technology in the United Kingdom:

We have today received the unfortunate news that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is unlikely to launch in the UK.

If this is the case, we will not have official UK stock available to us. However, for those customers that are still interested in ordering, we will try to obtain non-UK stock.

More information is available in this blog post and we will continue to provide updates as the situation develops:

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/09/15/s...ble-uk-launch/

Better news though is that The Note 4 will be priced at £479.17 (£575 inc. VAT) which is nearly £100 cheaper than I expected, considering the Galaxy Alpha is priced higher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWantMe:
Hi, thanks in advance for helping me!

I have a CWM backup, and I want only my data restored, since the rest is already like it is in the backup.

The problem is, CWM has an error in the middle of restoring the data, and then I have to wipe the data to be able to boot the phone, and Odin says "FAIL!" when trying to restore.

Does anyone have an idea on how to restore my data without Odin or CWM?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapil_dheer:
Use titanium backup.

It has an option hidden somewhere to restore backup from cwm.

You have the option to restore data only. But that is on per app basis.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lowmick:
Hello everyone,

I am considering to buy Samsung S5 mini or Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. Z1C does have much better hw, but does it really make significant difference comparing S5 mini hardware for daily use (no games)? Battery life is also quite important for me as I would appreciate 2 days of use (day-night-day). I like design of S5 mini a bit more, but not saying, that Z1 Compact is ugly... Price in these days also plays for Sony.

Thanks for sharing any experiences

i'm getting average 3½ days on Z1C.

Already have super stable Rom and kernel and Soundmod.

Now S5 mini has no rom nor kernel so you have to wait for it.

As my previous phone was Galaxy S4 i can say the TouchWiz is complete trash and the Knox is another huge PITA for developers and for flashers.

There is even more bloat on S5 omg.

The only reason i accidentally bought Galaxy S4 was because it provided so many features which seemed like a good deal but they all were useless and drained battery.

The Z1 compact is the first phone after nokia 3310 i am totally satisfied with.

Z1 compact

My answer wil be very clear: Z1 compact.

as you said, better specs, better Price, what do you want more?

Also it's almost identical to Sony's Z1, so, many options for modding and cross device roms that will work flawlessly.

And with the Z3 goodies coming, I presume very soon we will be having 4k and 120fps shooting as well as AR effects etcétera.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
We have 4K and 120fps and AR mod for a real long time .........

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

S5 mini and Z1c is almost same price here in HK now because Z3c is going to out next week in HK. I'll say Z1c is a much better choice overall with much faster CPU/GPU, 512MB more memory, 200mah more battery, much more mods available from big brother Z1 or Z1c board, MHL supported, 4K recording with mod, water protection.

S5 Mini on the other hand got 0.2" larger screen, IR blaster and more light weight. So, it really depends do you need the 0.2" screen and IR to remote your TV.

The previous of Sony design on Arc and Xperia S is much better without doubt but I found the Sony' s OmniBalance design is quite good on Z1 Compact, OmniBalance is very ugly on big phone like Z1/Z2 I've to admit it but it looks okay on a compact phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritsprive:
Yes, you are right but I have also read that with 4.4.4 the mod doesn't work as well as with 4.4.2 for reason of the old libs from the Z2 that this mod is using. They are now working very hard with the Z3 fw download to improve this.

And yes we have AR effects, but the Z3 has much more of them with more fun etcétera.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Get the S5 Mini.. At least the camera works on the S5. My wife is about to throw her Z1C at the wall every time she tries to take a photo of the kids she misses the moment because the phone either freezes when activating the camera, or it takes a photo and hangs and doesn't record it, or reboots..

Fkin Sony do my head in.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hol17:
Software issue and can be solved. Others have had the issue (even me when flashing other ROMs) and we're fixed through flashing the a new ROM through recovery or Sony's tool.

I'm sorry your wife's z1c is doing that but don't paint a picture that every z1c does this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Software issue that can be solved?? Why haven't sony solved it already???????????? LOL :laugh:

My wife has had 2 of these phones, the first the sound and vibration stopped working after a week and the camera did the same thing!!

Looking at the forums the camera issue is very common especially those on 4.4.4!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aakash43:
Go for Z1 compact or if ur pocket allows go for z3 compacr.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
S5 camera works but not S5 mini, their cameras are totally different. Z1c focus speed is slow, really no good for taking photo for kids. Not sure about Z3c at this moment. Indeed, I believe HTC M8 got the fastest focus speed among android, good for your wife.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
The whole point of my wife wanting the Z1C is for a few reasons. Flagship specs, high pixel camera for the great photos Sony said it would take (I find the focus speed just fine - when it works), water resistant so it can handle the spills and thrills of being a parent with young kids, and being a compact similar size to iPhone 5S (we are an android family btw). For that its perfect - except for the god dam freezing!!

Regarding the HTC M8, sure great focus speed but seriously rubbish 4MP photos you cant even zoom into. I'm not really a HTC fan either after owning the M7 :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiebro:
I had the freeze issue a number of time. But the phone just resolve itself, miss that moment, but kids being kids there are other moments. comparing results from the photos I got no qualms as it is much better then my previous phones. I bought this mainly for the battery and so far it does not dissapoints

Also Sony's phones aren't just big piles of the same phone with minor differences, they're beautifully designed, hardware and software-wise (in contrast with Samsung's TouchWiz).

I'm sure S5 camera is better but not the one from S5 mini.

Actually, if OP wants to buy Samsung he should consider Galaxy Alpha(Samsung's compact flagship), but not S5 mini which is a crap.

Looking at the track of android. Google have the tendencies to change the build number if a major changes were made. For example the changes from ginger bread to honeycomb and then ICS. The version got upgraded from 2 to 3 and then 4 but when jelly bean was release still with holo like ICS they only change the second number to 4.1 4.2 and then kitkat. So its will be pretty much 5.0

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Teg8:
I never did any software changes to my phone, because of this whole warranty talking, but today my warranty is over, so this finally the time for some upgrade ;). Currently I have B138 ROM and I want something with android 4.0+ for google hangouts, and much more apps that are based on API level 14. So my first question: is CM11 stable enough for every day use? I don't have second phone, and I have to be on line most of the time.

Assuming that it is, I did prepare a little todo list:

Install stock rom through dload (Second question: will B518 be good enough, becouse if anything goes wrong I will still have pink screen; Third question: Should I wipe data and/or cache? It would be wiped anyway, or not?)

Root the phone using [U8800] [How To] Root, Install ClockworkMod + Remove Bundled Apps from Official 2.3.5 (link to SuperOneClick inside this thread is dead, but I found it elsewhere)

I'm rooted so I can backup my IMEI thanks to [Helpful][Tutorial][Caution] IMEI backup & Flash your IMEI

I still have stock recovery, [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery [v6.0.4.6]

If answer for second question will be “You should use latest official, B528”, I will have to get my PINK screen back (in this tut Blefish recommended 5.5.0.4 recovery, 6.0.4.6 installs on top of it, so I will rather stay with 5.5.0.4)

If CM11 is stable enough partitioning is required: [PARTITION] BlePart [v2.x].

[ROM][07.09.2014] Unofficial Cyanogenmod 11.0 [4.4.4]. This ROM is rooted out-of-the-box, isn't it?

[GAPPS][4.4.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's). And here it goes a little messy. A lot of different packages, replacement of stock apps, Titanium Backup required (?), I don't know how to install, update, remove them...

Anyway, see guys how much have you done for anyone who has u8800, it's everything right here and only thanks to you I was able to make above list ;).

Is everything in right order? Is there anything important that I didn't found and read before posting this?

EDIT: If anyone will need this in the future:

Second step didn't worked, SuperOneClick freezed in "Step 7", I found [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23565074]this[/URL] tutorial and it rooted my phone (I had to use included adb drivers).

CWM 5.5.0.4 wasn't able to install CM11, with error "E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11-... .zip (Status 7) Installation aborted", with CWM 6.0.4.6 I had no problems.

/system partition from BlePart allows only for micro PA-gapps
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lotamosfoit:
It's good decision to Flash Custom ROMs as there is no good original FW for this good phone. It's a "Do It Yourself" phone! :fingers-crossed:

But there are more than one CM11 versions like there are more than one CM10 versions, etc. You should better read their forum pages and then decive yourself which one to use...

ROMs which need re-partitioning is one step further than classic Custom ROMs. For this case you should better try firstly some ROMs which don't need partition. For e.g. Aurora will be a perfect option for that.

You can get Aurora v5 Update 20 and 21 (which I have used very long time) from its topic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492957

Then you can do partitioning. I personnally suggest Forumber's partition file.

After partitioning you can try Aurora SP+ Update 2 which I am currently using. You can get from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295318

Next step is Blefish currently developping ROM. After trying Aurora SP+ you can go one step further and flash Blefish. You can even participate to the topic with the issues you may face in this still developping ROM. Get it here:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Teg8:
Thanks for reply, I'm using CM two days from now and I'm amazed what this phone is capable of ;) To be honest I didn't choose Aurora ROM because of 800 pages topic to read ;). I wasn't shure from where start reading, so I read the whole topic about 4.4.4. And I didn't even thought about leaving stock partition schema. In 2.2 I had problems with lack of space for applications.

But you advise in just one answer to try 3 different ROMs. And I belive many people do so - they change ROMs weekly, monthly to find the best one for their needs. My question is: how to restore everything, everytime when new soft is flashed? Google can restore phonebook. Titanium Backup SMS, and apps. But app data? Saved games? Saved progress in books? And we talking here about jumping between two kernels (.32 and .35), and many API levels. How do you do it?

Okay, so i had finally got around to getting CWM on my phone so i was going to flash a rom tonight so i put cm 11 and gapps on my sd card and went to rom manager to install them but the folder i had put them in would not shown on them so i copied and pasted them around and still couldnt find them so i turned pushed reboot into recovery to just do it the manual way and my phone just doesn't turn on at all.

P.s i had unlocked the bootloader earlier someone said its already unlocked so that might be the reason my phone will not turn on

the thing is nobody unlocked it when i went to unlock by EZ unlock it just unknown so then i unlocked it then i read somewhere online that the s3 t mobile already is unlocked .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes it is already unlocked, so any unlock method you used would've been intended for a different device. My best guess is it replaced your bootloader with a hacked one from a different device. (I could be wrong on that though)

Your only options are a JTAG service, or the debrick method stickied in the development section. It may or nay not work, depending on what was flashed, but it's worth trying before paying for a JTAG repair.

Hi,

Had this problem on my Hermes where the backlight timeout is always reset to 10secs no matter what i set it to once i perform a soft-reset (by poking the reset hole at the bottom). I've tried editing the registry entry directly, flash back to the manufacturer's default ROM etc but with mixed results.

What eventually worked for me is this:

Change your backlight settings but soft-reset using software instead of poking the reset hole. I used Tweaks2k2 to perform the soft-reset but any other tool should work.

In case you are wondering what is my registry type -- i'm already using a File-based registry rather than Hive. (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=767833 for more info).

Anyone has any alternative solutions that works?

cheers!

Hi Patrick... bizarre -- my device exhibits the same annoying reset to 10-seconds, but only when using software reset, not hardware. What software are you using to soft reset? I've used both PHM Reset.exe and Wisbar Lite v1.1.0.7...

If I use the stylus to soft-reset, then the 'on battery' backlight timeout remains at 1-minute (where I like it).
