[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iFaymous:
I am a noob with all of this android modding/hacking/flashing stuff and would like some guidance. Right now, my nexus 7 is in a state that cannot boot. When powering on, it remains on the Google logo and does not progress. I am able to get the the bootloader and recovery screen though. I do not have USB Debug enabled. I would like to return to the stock image or the previous version I was on. This all happened when trying to upgrade manually to the Android 5.0 update. Is there anybody that can help me with this? I would gladly appreciate it. I have been struggling to find an answer but its hard to understand what some people are saying.

Again, I cannot turn on the USB Debug option because I guess its "soft bricked" or something.

Also the bootloader state is locked.

I have changed build.prop. Multitasking is appeared in settings, but the back button does not cause the menu multi window
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NEPAT989:
Multiwindow with VK81023a

Hello,

Has anyone done the latest Verizon OTA to version VK81023a and has been successful with mutliwindow? Root works, TWRP v2.7.0.1 works; however, TWRP v2.7.0.2 bootloops. I reinstalled v2.7.0.1 and for the moment it appears stable. The multiwindow however is bootlooping at the Verizon logo. Is it the update or am I doing something wrong? I followed the steps, but can't get to changing the build.prop in root, because of bootloop.

I will try the adb push for the build.prop while I'm in recovery and see if that works.

Any other thoughts/ advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Awesome! Will give it a try some day in the next few days.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Raghavendra J:
Great work bro [emoji2]

Will download the RoM now[emoji16]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Hi! Thanks for such an early build! Can You please Mirror the files? I'm not able to download, even after unrestricting the links.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
billchen1977 have done a better job. You can check his post. You should use his ROM for the moment :)

I just saw that he releases some part of the code (patches to apply). So I will take a view to find what was wrong with mine.

I will continue to work on my ROM to add some features that I need and maybe some others (for example by removing security layer on Exchange, Recovery support, Superuser etc).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
please to find an other mirror : http://ovh.to/xCEei7L
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
hi. thanks for your work. btw, does the lightbar work in your rom?

i hope you can fix the gsm internet :)

thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Yes the lightbar works fine on my ROM. I continue my work to fix gsm internet. I have a lot of hope to fix that but I just need more time :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Camera and FMradio fixed (reworks done based on [MENTION=5064452]billchen1977[/MENTION] source).

I'm still waiting to fix gsm internet to publish this new build. (and I need to review few patches that introduce a regression on menu display. I have some shadow artifact around popup menu. Not a big problem to revert back)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Raghavendra J:
Did your build contains kernel?? :confused: else Please add kernel from BPaul's build which is having CWM recovery :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Yes I have a kernel on it but my build contains the support of FOTAkernel partition to load the recovery that you want ;)

You can flash TWRP or CWM and the version that you want without any dependency with the ROM developer choice.

the FOTAkernel is located on /dev/block/mmcblk0p11. So flash what you want on it. (dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11)

Example with TWRP 2.8.0.1 : http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/144 (version 2.8.1.0 doesn't work).

You can flash a kernel with Xperia S + CWM support too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
GSM internet fixed with b03.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Release of the b03.

GSM internet fixed (this was a kernel issue with dhcp issue fixed by [MENTION=5064452]billchen1977[/MENTION])

FMradio is now working (I missed a patch and I switched to FM_TUNER. this is more clean)

Video recording and media playback fixed (thanks to [MENTION=5064452]billchen1977[/MENTION])

popup menu with shadow issue fixed

There should have some other issues but at this time that seems usable. I will run on it longer tomorrow.

next to come on b04:

remove of the security layer for Exchange Email application (no pin, erase etc)

update display code just to keep the same AOSP structure

some status bar improvement if possible
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Woow. Good work man. I'm at work right now and will flash and try it later..

And i think you should message a moderator here to move the thread to development section. Other users should try this rom and since you're the dev, users can give feedback, etc.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Raghavendra J:
That sounds great bro :) :p

Thanks for your awesome work :D

Hi [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION] I'm having trouble flashing your latest beta. I got the following error in TWRP:

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 at /system: Device or resource busy

symlink: some symlinks failed

E: Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/Lollipop/nAOSProm-5.0-b03.zip'

Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/Lollipop/nAOSProm-5.0-b03.zip'
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Not a lot of difference in fact because my initial work is based on billchen1977 kernel used into AOSPXS 4.4.4 and pure AOSP 4.4.3. I worked in parallel and I finally integrate some work done by billchen1977 (issue fixed for FMradio, kernel update and video).

The difference is that I have integrated :

- busybox

- recovery by FOTAkernel

- tiled disabled to fix shadow issue around popup menu

The ROM is too young to have a lot of difference but this is a base of work. For example I will integrate some others patches (removing security layer on Mail Exchange (no pin, remote erase etc), clear all application etc. more to come in fact).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yunamunchy:
any other gapps except CM 12 GAPPS?

Sent from my Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Yes you right but I was not aware when I started my work that he was active on it. But I will push to him lightbar fix for example. billchen goal is to have a pure AOSP rom and this is why there is no recovery for example. On my side this is not completely the goal.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
You maybe have /system already mounted. Check TWRP mount option and uncheck everything except sdcard.

I'm using the TWRP 2.8.0.1 on my side (the one that we can download on TWRP website).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Yes it's possible. OC should be possible too based on the work done by AOSPXS Team. They have a kernel available with OC support. I will take a look to upgrade the kernel for lollipop. I will add your request on the wish list.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yunamunchy:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] XDA_h3n:
I'm also having trouble with this.

I actually flashed the rom with cwm, but then I thought to flash with TWRP instead since that is what most people use. And I get the same problem as you. :(

EDIT: It seems to have flashed now after unchecking all the mounts apart from the internal sd. I'm using TWRP 2.4.0.0 for the 6.1.A.0.452 kernel but it actually loaded TWRP 2.8.0.1 from somewhere? Probably the FOTA thingy?

Good job on the rom, mickybart, quick and smooth and no redraws makes this my daily driver on my xperia s :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
hey [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION] .. your rom is working well here, thanks

some experience:

i cant flash it using twrp (error shows up like some people mentioned before, already mount everything except sdcard, same error), using cwm from doomlord's kernel do the trick though, it installed fine

second boot stuck in sony logo for 10-15 minutes. it's just like what happened in opensemc 4.4

all seems working fine, bit higher battery drain, but maybe i was just testing stuffs.

otg is working fine, but no apps capable to mount ntfs in lollipop, yet (or i havent found one :D )

bit tweak: turn on/wake up screen using camera button:

go to /system/usr/keylayout and open fuji-keypad.kl. delete the FOCUS and change it to WAKEUP . Afaik lollipop change some code here (from WAKE_DROPPED to WAKEUP) and it wont allow one button to have multiple function, so need to delete the FOCUS first.

hope it's useful. thanks. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Thanks a lot for yours feedback. I will take them into account for next releases.

Now I'm still working on the kernel to upgrade it with some stuff of mako lollipop kernel. This is a long process and I'm not on holiday (sad) :p. I will focus on that for this week and after that if it take me too long I will switch to some suggestions that you have made.

That seems enough stable to delay the next release a lit bit :)

Just to let you know that my work continue on the kernel.

Android 5.0.0_r7 is released so I will try to make a new ROM for Sunday evening in my country :p

Just a question that maybe someone can answer ? do you know why we don't use sony blob for the GPU ? I know that there is no maintenance on it but there is some specific incompatibility to replace it by mako gpu driver and blob or this is mainly to have a better support and integration based on mako kernel released on AOSP ?

Thanks for your help on this subject :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
great. cant wait.. :D

i think it's to get better support and integration based on mako kernel. basically, i dont think it will work (boot) with sony's blob (cmiiw though :) )

and please fix the video portrait bug (playing video in portrait, makes it reboot itself). billchen already fixed it, maybe you can get it from his source.

thanks. :)
