Just to be clear:

Can you put the new "RUU_signed.nbh" from step 8 above back into the full RUU....._ship.exe using Winrar and run it that way too?

This is very cool! So we can change to any radio ROM (upgrade or downgrade), but technically we will still have radio BL 108, but who cares.

Hi Walshieau,

After I follow your edit 3 step, when I try to upgrade the radio,

it shown Error 262. What's that error message for?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
did you copy SSPL to your device and run it before you started the upgrade???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ratcom:
Am I right in thinking I could mix and match all the components with this tool?

I.E. extract the o.s. from one full update then extract the radio from another, then use "NBF generator" to merge them and flash them all at once?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] veletron:
Hi

Q1) - Movies Small App

On my Z3TC, I have the Movies App version 8.x+ and recently got the 'movies small App' via OTA. I have seen a couple of tutorials on how to use this, but my Movies app does not give me the button that I need to display said video as a small app. Its just not there. I have only tried this with content already upon the device.

Q2) Movies App does not see files on SD card

I sync my movies using folder-sync. Due to the SD card restrictions in Kitkat, apps can only write to their own bit of an SD card under /android/data/com.app-name.blah As such I have foldersync sync all movies to this location. ANY app can read ANY location. How can I get the Movies app to see the hoard of video's under /storage/sdcard1/android/data/com.app-name.blah ?? MX Player can see the video's, the moves app cannot.

Q3) Free Content

The Sony bloatware is always asking me to create a sony account and sign in. Is it worth my doing this - ie are there any freebies to be had??!?

Nigel
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tw:
I don't know about this Movies app since I have never used it. I'm using mostly VLC and MX player for video.

Anyway, you can use the preinstalled File Commander app to move your video files to any folder on the SD card. Because File Commander was preinstalled by Sony with system rights it can write to the SD card. It can copy, created, delete and move files in all folders on the SD card.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texmike75:
My apologies if this has been covered, but I did a search and couldn't find the exact issue. Since the first day I bought the HTC One M8 9-10 months ago, the Micro SD card will randomly unmount itself. The only solution I have is to pop it out and pop it back in, then the phone seems to recognize it. Then 10 minutes later, it might give me an error again and say "SD Card unexpectedly removed."

I called tech support awhile back and they hadn't heard of the issue, only solution they could suggest was to wipe the phone and re-install everything. I'd like to avoid that of course.

Any ideas? Card is a Kensington 16GB.

Mike
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garrett_PL:
Is the card old? It look like the days of Your 16Gb SD are over, to be sure first try with different one, then buy new one. Like 128Gb now days seems like proper stuff.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul chambers:
Hi I would check to see if the card is genuine also format the card in the phone. Don't forget to backup data first
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try another card, otherwise the SD tray itself may be broken.

I know on past HTC devices, some folks had trouble with the SIM not making proper contact. A piece of tape (on the non-contact side) helped thicken the SIM to make better contact. Not sure if something like this will help here. Of course be careful, as you don't want loose tape getting jammed up in the slot.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] WSZR:
Hi. Why are everywhere on the screens or the videos presenting Lollipop drawer has a white background, and the launcher has left Google Now ...

... while using an image from Google is a normal launcher?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ritchea:
I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you want to know why people are running the Google Now launcher (your picture) as opposed to the stock launcher (the one with the black background)? I guess they like it better? I use Nova because I like it better.

Or, are you saying it's confusing when people are showing Lollipop while using Google Now launcher as if it's the stock launcher?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] WSZR:
No. Each video showing Lollipop (eg. Nexus 9, Nexus 7, Nexus 5) has a launcher with drawer white background and Google Now on the left. This must be so in Lollipop stock launcher.

(http://youtu.be/gnYeAA9mxoo?t=3m35s)

And after the installation image from Google, get some plain launcher with black drawer (how old preview). I am surprised why this is so.

(http://youtu.be/vj-D9X7GEzI?t=1m33s)

I installed Google Play launcher Google Now and it is not the same thing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ritchea:
This is what I have.

Stock launcher for L. (DroidModderX ROOT Master) video It has the transparent app drawer with the solid dots. Then Google Now. Launcher from the Play store the one in the Russian?? video with the white app drawer with transparent dots. If your GP Now Launcher doesn't look the same, I don't know about that
[LG G Watch R] Mircolino:
I'm trying to take advantage of the new Lollipop SmartLock feature and have my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 9 connected via BT to the LG watch so they can both stay unlocked when close to me.

Android Wear is installed on the N5 and everything works (more or less) fine with the phone. But when I try to pair the LG watch with the N9 tablet it keeps saying "Connecting..." and then "Not connected" in an endless loop.

The N9 is able to pair, add the watch as a Trusted Device and SmartLock will work for a while but then stops and I need to repeat the whole pairing process for it to work again.

Anyone tried to use the LG Watch as a Trusted Device on both a phone and tablet at the same time?

Thanks,

---Mirco.
[LG G Watch R] Spere:
I don't own any of these devices, but If I'm right, by reading the manual that came with the watch to you, you'll find out that you can pair watch only to one device at a time. To pair it to another device, you have to do factory reset for watch.

Some info HERE
[LG G Watch R] Mircolino:
Spere, thanks for the info.

Android Wear I understand; it can be paired with only one device <--> watch. But this is just bluetooth.

Otherwise, why would the LG G Watch R have a Settings --> Bluetooth Devices option where you can pair additional devices?
[LG G Watch R] Spere:
I just don't know. And like I said, I don't have this watch yet, but I'm going to buy it someday near.

I thought the same myself. If I remember right, Google made Android Wear devices able to connect to BT headphones to play music from watch itself. Now, if you can pair only one device to watch, does this mean that to connect to headphones you need to do factory reset and to pair back to phone do it again? This would be total idiotism, who really would do that? And I myself would also like to connect my watch (which I don't own, yet) to my Note 3 and Note Pro 12.2, this just won't seem to be possible right now, what I've read.
[LG G Watch R] DarknessWarrior:
You already said it, but here it goes:

You can only pair one device <-> watch, the bluetooth settings on the watch are for bluetooth headphones / speakers, so it looks like this device --> watch --> bt headset and not device 1 --> watch <-- device 2
[LG G Watch R] aa_chow:
I have the Nexus 5, 9, and the original G watch, and have the exact same question.

I am using smart lock on my Nexus 5 which is paired to my G Watch through Android Wear. No problem there.

I am able to pair my G Watch to my Nexus 9 by going to Settings > Bluetooth on the watch and pairing with the Nexus 9. Upon pairing, the Nexus 9 displays a notification asking if I would like to add the watch as a trusted devices, just like with the Nexus 5. However, the only problem is that Smart Lock won't work because the watch is not connected to the Nexus 9.

So, in summary, you can pair the watch to Nexus 9, but Smart Lock doesn't work because it's not connected.

The G Watch is able to pair with multiple devices. However, as previously mentioned, it will only connect to devices that has the correct bluetooth services (i.e. speaker). Please correct me if I am wrong.

But it would be nice to be able to use the G Watch as a trusted device for Smart Lock on multiple devices, not just the phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Aqua1ung:
Sony's website displays two IP ratings for this one (IP58 and IP68), hence I don't think it is very reliable when it comes to basing a purchase decision on. Here are some spec-related questions:

So which one is it, IP58 or IP68?

As such, will it be safe to use during snorkeling?

Does it have WiFi? And if it does, are there any chances that they will develop a version (be it truncated, if not fully featured) of their PlayMemories Mobile app?

Will I be able to unlock my phone using SWR50's NFC?

Oh, yeah, and what's the DPI on this thing?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] legend921:
I am sure that it is IP68 rating. People have used it for swimming, but I don't know about going snorkeling since I am assuming that you would be doing it in salt water. The Wi-Fi thing is up in the air, since I read both that it has the hardware and it may have not. As for the Unlock thing with the watch, if you have Bluetooth unlock built into your phone then you can have the phone unlocked when the phones connect. If it is not available in your phone then you can download apps on the playstore for that feature or wait for the new Lollipop update. I am currently using the Xperia Z3 with the SW3 and that feature was built into the phone's OS. It allowed me to set a distance for the bluetooth as well to keep my phone unlocked up to a distance even if I am still connected to the phone.

Correction: On the WiFi the watch has the feature but it has not been enabled yet until a new update for Android Wear comes out that will utilize that feature.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nobunnysapro:
I would guess that salt water is a no no.

The is an NFC "tag" in the upper region of the screen. If the phone is already unlocked, it opens the Android Wear app. I have it set up with lollipop's smart unlock, so that it can unlock the phone when tapped. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to hit with my Nexus 5. Too inconsistent for daily use, otherwise I'd have forget my pattern by now! :p
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Aqua1ung:
Why would swimming in salt water be prohibitive? Is it because salt water is more corrosive than fresh water? I've been snorkeling with my Seiko 5 Automatic with no issues for a long time now, even though it's only rated water resistant to 10'.

Okay, so i just saw the xperia acro s got an alpha lollipop build

with nothing working, but hey!

Its a start!

I need help to port it to the xperia ion, xperia s.

THough not functional, but a first build will help.

So can someone please tell me how to port the rom from Acro S to Ion!

ACRO - S / ION / Xperia S Have the same specs too!

So if anything starts working in the hardware section, it probably would be easy to fix the bug on Ion/S too.

So please!

Can someone guide this complete noob to cross port a rom to device of completely same specifications!??

Lets build lollipop and put sony to shame! :highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device General] JustPlayingHard:
You need a kernal, drivers, porting knowledge .
[Sony Cross-Device General] arjun921:
Same chipset

Same Resolution

Same Processor

Same Ram

Same GPU

Same Camera

I thought cross porting to devices with completely same hardware was easier than building from source:crying:

Heres the specs comparision anyways

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4798&idPhone2=4781
[Sony Cross-Device General] Felimenta97:
Just to complement, the devices are pretty much indentical, hardware wise. The differences are VERY minor:

Ion has an MicroSD and a 4.55 inch screen, and 16 Gb internal.

Acro S has MicroSD, 4.3 inch screen, 16 Gb internal, is waterproof.

S doesn't have MicroSD, 4.3 inch, 32 Gb internal.

Except for that, they are exactly the same.
[Sony Cross-Device General] arjun921:
I know!

Theoretically, older android roms could be ported without any hassles. to devices of same specs.

Replacing app, framework,media in the two zips should technically hvae a fully running rom.

BUt on extracting the zip for acro S, theres nothing that looks familiar:crying::crying::crying:

can anybody help!?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
Hi old buddy...what's up...long time no see...

You tried to Google that?

I'm almost 100% sure Google will show many tutorials on XDA...

If those devices are exactly the same - that shouldn't be difficult task.

But what are you planning to do with a kernel?
[Sony Cross-Device General] arjun921:
Searched google first.

Then asked here, cause last time i posted a nooby question, i was fired with Rude replies

Neways in those guides, it shows to replace files from the Port Rom and replace it with Base Rom.

For that, when i opened the zip of acro s, there are no folders!

And for the record, those guides are quite dated...

I cant even manage to port Kitkat roms. It always goes into a bootloop

For the kernel, i was hoping to use Xperia S's kernel, since that device is supported by AOSP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
What you mean by that "when i opened the zip of acro s, there are no folders!"?

Which zip is that? AOSP Lolipop for Acro S?

If there's only META-INF folder, then you should have system image in that folder (system.ext4), you have to repack that image to see all folders and files (app, framework, bin etc...)

I don't know much about compiling or porting ROMs but if you provide more informations I'll try to help.

Post a link pf that zip for Acro S so I can see file structure or...better solution, please post screenshoots of ZIP structure (that one that doesn't have folders)

If you have a ftf file for a base you should repack it using flashtool but this is, obviously, something different.

Still....

Flashtool should be the tool you need.

Post some more informations and we'll find solution together..

Searched google first.

Then asked here, cause last time i posted a nooby question, i was fired with Rude replies...

Unfortunately...you are right...XDA has changed and there's not many users who are ready to help
[Sony Cross-Device General] arjun921:
You're exactly right. But I'm not quite sure how to extract .dat files

The system consists of .dat system files

I've Attached a screenshot of the contents of the zip too

[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
No problem...that's why we are all here...

I'm using FTK Imager for ext4 files you can try with it maybe...

It's very simple to work with and it'll mount that image so you can extract/work on files and folders you need.

You just have to extract image from zip and mount it with FTK Imager.

File will mount to one separate virtual disk (check screenshoots)

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Why not?

It's not bad to learn something new..

And you can build your version different, add or remove some apps and features.

Also, it's great if there's recognised developer who will build ROM for those devices.

That way, if you bump into wall you can ask him or check how did he built ROM.

As I said, I'm themer, not developer but I know few things... So if you need anything just tag me here and I'll try to help.

BTW - apparently, you have working kernel built by AOSPXS team, so that's good.

I guess you saw this already but I'll post again.

LINK

You have all sources on github (check that link), why don't you compile ROM from sources?

You'll have same problems like all the others but you'll learn many new things .. Maybe you find a solution for RIL, GPS, wifi...or something else.
[Sony Cross-Device General] arjun921:
I'll try that. Mean while, waiting for repositories to get downloaded :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] arjun921:
And yeah

Most probably gonna stick to building a new ROM from source but after a trial with Acro S rom. The thing is i dont know how to build from source. Though RIL, wireless etc. Might take some time, but at least its better than not sitting hand in hand!

I'll update with how it goes!

Btw first 5 builds were using the acro s's lollipop zip.

Rest were using Xperia S's lollipop zip

USing Base rom as AOSP 4.4.4 for ion for porting
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
If it passes kernel logo and stuck/loop on OS bootanimation - you are certain that problem isn't in kernel - that's good... (at least, kernel should be OK)

Try to remove everything except necessary apps for system to boot.

It could be anything...

Driver probably...really don't know...
