Yeah, I have a working camera and pictures. Ive tried it with several apps too and it works. I have the same issue with the apn but I dont know if its with the device since it also happens with the Carbon ROM and the PAC ROM data works nonetheless with roaming. It might also be with the mountaneous area I live in as well, hecause at home I get the 4G working. I still have tested the calls, but I will here in a bit.
[Desire 816 General] FoxyDrew:
On Carbon and PacROM, have you tried changing APN before flashing the fix?
[Desire 816 General] jesus359:
yes I have. I figured the apn changing on the carbon rom which worked perfectly then tried in on the PAC rom but nothing happened, I came and asked and then someone referred me to the apn fix and reflashing the rom, then I just got Roaming and still cant get off roaming. So now I just gave up on the PAC rom and kept using the Carbon ROM until I gave CM 12 a try and now Im just gonna keep to that one. and even then, I get roaming for a bit on that one, but I htink thats because of the region I live in, lots of mountains.

Here's hoping the VM version gets the update.
[Desire 816 General] Zavoolon:
816 is a middle range phone, I don't think HTC will make 5.0 fast for it. It's better to wait summer.
[Desire 816 General] seekfind:
it's still their best seller;)
[Desire 816 General] Zavoolon:
Yes, but some will switch to other models with 5.0. So Lolipop will come out only for those who stays confident.
[Desire 816 General] ajones23:
Hi guys I'm pretty new to this phone,haven't rooted yet. But my opinion is it's up to VM to update. Just like S2 when they put 4.1.2 jb OTA. Wasn't long so it's up to them. I would say yes.
[Desire 816 General] monsieur_beau19:
Same thing happened with the HTC Evo 3D. I was excited when VM decided to push the 4.0 update to the EVO months later. It seems to be the best selling phones (S2, Evo 3D, S5, IPhone, most mid range to flagship devices) tend to get the latest updates at that time.
[Desire 816 General] ajones23:
Some talk on FB about lollipop for 816. HTC desire Facebook page.
[Desire 816 General] colossus3974:
Disappointing

So I talked to customer service at VM today. According to them, at this time the only device they are currently updating is the s5. When asked about the 816 I was told that they don't have an estimated time "when or even if" our device would receive the lollipop update. Upsetting that they only pay attention to the people who shelled out the money for the s5 instead of loyal customers of 5 years. Disappointed but I guess we'll see.
[Desire 816 General] Antiph3d:
To be fair to Virgin Mobile, HTC hasn't given any carriers the Lollipop update for the 816.

VM can't give ETAs when they don't even know when they'll get the update from HTC.

[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Even if the VM Model dosent get it, porting it from the international version shouldn't be too hard..

HTC Desire 816 not on VMUSA site

Not sure what if anything it means, but I just noticed today that the HTC Desire 816 isn't listed on the Virgin Mobile USA site. Nothing about being temporarily out of stock. The Desire 816 link goes to their main Android phone page. I thought maybe they where holding back phones for updated software, but it doesn't seem likely with some of the reports being posted. Could they drop one of their best rated phones?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
oh crap is VM screwing us over less than a year after realese?
[Desire 816 General] pcjunky:
It's only been about 7 months I think. BTW the 816 was still on the VMUSA site a few days ago. I thought it used to be available in Bestbuy & Walmart stores. Don't see it on Walmart.com and it's only available online @ Bestbuy.

I bought a desire 816 in last February . It is looking good , bit big sized but speed is ok. I've never had a 13MP rear camera phone in before so i don't know the quality of it. But now I'm waiting for Lollipop update because I can't see "Sinhala" on it.

Is it a good idee to change 816 to huawei mate 7 ?
[Desire 816 General] seekfind:
Mate 7 is a great phone, just a bit big at 6 inches. but how much should you pay to make the change?

Regarding Lolipop, they will both get it
[Desire 816 General] drummer1839:
Well money are on second place. I just wanted to know if I change to better phone
[Desire 816 General] seekfind:
This doesn't seem to be the right place for that question, but with Mate 7, you will definitely be changing to a superior phone in almost all aspects. It's arguably the most impressive device to have ever come from Huawei

Virgin Mobile is being themselves and not answering anyone's questions except to say, we're sorry but we don't know what phones will be updated to L.
[Desire 816 General] Laserbeak43:
I don't need VM's version anyway. I just need a version besides CM12, so I can use data without jumping through hoops to get it to work everytime I pick my phone up.
[Desire 816 General] FoxyDrew:
mygamers, the developer of the SVHD ROM, has said that when he makes version 1.3.0, which will lollipop and a port of Sense 7, it can be easily ported to the VM version.

We'll just have to wait for Lollipop to drop some time this month.

[Desire 816 General] drummer1839:

[Desire 816 General] Antiph3d:
You might want to take that with a grain of salt. The guy who asked about the update is in India. US 816 L update is far from confirmed. Mo Versi has already said Virgin Mobile 816 will not get an official update.

As long as the 816 from India and elsewhere get L those of us in the U.S. will get L through other means.
[Desire 816 General] dcdarbar:
Nope,now he has confirmed virgin 816 lollipop update

I don't know if this matters at all but on htc's software developer update site, it has the htc desire 816 virgin mobile variant in the Certification stage for lollipop, the last stage before completion.

What kernel source do you use?
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
I think the latest official one (.283).
[Xperia Z General] Olivier:
[MENTION=4193352]adfad666[/MENTION], [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION], can you please confirm this?

Did you use sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft or sonyxperiadev/kernel on Github? Or something else?
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
[MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION]

The kernel used in the aosp build is a prebuilt one.

But there are aosp builds outside of xda booting on a tweaked stock kk kernel.

So the stock kernel definitly boots on aosp.
[Xperia Z General] Olivier:
I know, and that's why I asked ;) I still want a confirmation from jerpelea or adfad666.

BTW, you can flash any kernel on any ROM and it will "boot", the problems are mostly the ramdisk or some configs (e.g. prima).

[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Ok, lets wait for [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] s answer :).

All i know is that the command line to assemble the ramdisk slightly differs from stock and cm, as i've build an aosp kernel some months ago.

[Xperia Z General] jerpelea:
kernel is prebuilt on aosp and is built from our source

if you build kernel with android from source you just waste time on build

kernel is rarely updated and is just a waste of time to recompile it every time

this kernel version is not in sync with official releases and updating kernel will break blobs, use provided kernel !

you can build yourself kernel binary and wlan module and then place them into aosp tree

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frag Mortuus:
Hello Everyone,

I know these topics pop up on occasion, but when searching I didn't find a good answer to my specific question. So here goes.

I am using my Nexus 7 (2012) in my car for an in dash install. I am looking to use Tasker to switch between running apps using gestures.

Here is what I'm thinking:

Swipe left and it switches to the "next" running app.

Swipe right and it switches to the "previous" running app.

Swipe down and it closes the app on screen.

Swipe up and it "minimizes" or opens to the home screen.

My logic is that when I'm in the car I don't want to have to try to deal with clicking small icons to open apps that I want to use and that gestures would be far safer and quicker.

The main apps that should be running are PowerAmp, TabletTalk, Sygic (GPS), and Torque.

Is it possible to create profiles that can accomplish these tasks?

Thank you all for your help.

Please [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] can you put up a tut for building this! :crying:

I have downloded the source, and setup the build environment like you said on github but having issues with the final out directory.

It builds 100%, no issues whatsover, but mkbootimg fails to build the boot.img and it doesnt build the system.img :crying: I only have the userdata.img, kernel, and a system folder (others as well but these three are the important ones, oh theres also the ramdisk.img as well)

I have tried compiling the system folder using mkfs.yaffs2 to a system.img file and that flashes fine, userdata.img flashes too but the kernel I have tried a few combos and I can flash the boot.img file using files I have compiled before but it never boots. Its hard to see whats going on because I think the system folder never flashes properly so I dont have access to adb or anything. Its hard to trouble shoot this as well because it "bricks" my device everytime and its time consuming getting it up and running again. The build.prop looks fine and all folders in system folder look spot on but I am clearly missing something. I tried the fastboot flashall as well but that didtnt do anything, it gives me an error saying something about it must be an OUT_DIRECTORY... or something (yes I have tried it from the out/target/product/honami/ directory but same error, I think its because its looking for a system.img file..)

Please can you give me a kick in the right direction? I have been pulling my hair out trying to flash this but its a no go.

Desperately want to get it up and running (I am prepared to even go a few days without the radio just to test it and I can live without the camera as well)

PS: Sorry for being such a noob!

[Xperia Z1 General] tejaswi.rohit:
[MENTION=4538510]NanoSurfer[/MENTION] did you manage to build boot.img after copying the repo source to system/extras/ ? I wasn't able to :P Let me know if you did. I must be doing something wrong :(
[Xperia Z1 General] NanoSurfer:
Hey bro

Nope. I put mkqcdtbootimg in my /bin folder so I could execute it from anywhere but it still wouldnt work (by the way, you have to compile mkqcdtbootimg using "make mkqcdtbootimg", wish someone told me that before :rolleyes:). So I compiled the kernel seperately and got a boot.img, put that in /out folder and tried fastboot flashall, nope no go. Useless.

I cannot make a system.img during compile time! I managed to make a system.img though by executing "make snod". I tried flasing that, with my userdata.img, boot.img, system.img. NOPE ,ALWAYS BRICKS!!!! Arrrgh!!!! Wtf?? Btw fastboot flashall simply does not work.

Anyway, I wish I knew how [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] did it because I have tried EVERYTHING! Im super frustrated by this because it seems there is either

a) critical stuff missing to succesfully build.

b) information is way to vague.

Ive wasted a lot of time on this and Im getting tired of having to recover my phone everytime. So do yourself a favour bro and rather leave this until a proper tut is posted or someone can explain the steps in more detail.

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 General] tejaswi.rohit:
[MENTION=4538510]NanoSurfer[/MENTION] I compiled the ROM successfully and flashed it too. It booted up just fine. This is what I did.

I downloaded the sources of mkqcdtbootimg and then extracted the openssl libraries from Android Source and placed it in the mkqcdtbootimg source folder (place it inside libdtd folder too, not sure of the exact folder name)and typed "make". Initially I had an error regarding some linker error got it fixed by installing this package libssl-dev I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. Ok, so that resulted me in a mkqcdtbootimg executable. What I realized what while compile the compiler is calling mkbootimg when mkqcdtbootimg isn't there, so I renamed mkqcdtbootimg executable to mkbootimg and placed it in out/host/linux-x86/bin . I replaced the original mkbootimg.

Once I did that my compilation went smooth. I got all the required images in the out folder. I tried fastboot flashall that didn't work for me either. So these are the partitions are flashed manually.

1. userdata

2. cache

3. system

4. boot

5. recovery

Crossed my fingers and typed "fastboot reboot" and BAM! it booted right to the home screen :D

P.S. I have a Xperia Z2. I downloaded the Android Source for 4.4.4_r2 but the blobs seem to be for 4.4.2 as of now at least for Z2 so I had some issues regarding sensors. Going to change my branch and compile again. But other than that the ROM was smooth as silk :D

Don't give up :D

Congratulations [MENTION=4538510]NanoSurfer[/MENTION] :D :D Glad I could help :) How's the build ? Do you face any issues regarding screen brightness,rotation, sound and mobile network ? Those were the problems I had on my 4.4.4 build :P
[Xperia Z1 General] NanoSurfer:
Same issues as you :( here are the problems I found:

1) mobile network broken

2) wifi not working

3) screen rotation not working

4) sound not working

5) brightness slider has no affect

6) internal storage showing as about 70mb

7) phone resets when restarted (like it does a factory wipe)

8) camera broken

9) Bluetooth broken

I managed to get the sound working though by flashing the aosp kernel from Sony's github :D I think I can fix wifi as well because I compiled the prima module, but I couldn't push it to system/lib as adb wouldn't allow it (read only file system) I'm still trying to figure out how to compile that module inline.

I think a lot of the problems are kernel related.

Interestingly tho, the performance is way better than I expected! Graphics and scrolling are very smooth.

Busy working on the issues. Will let you if I make any breakthroughs :D
