Probably a dumb noob question but will simply flashing 900T firmware onto a 900V turn it into a 900T? Or is the hardware different or somehow permanently branded? Thx.

Hai due vie di probabilità per salvare il tuo dispositivo:rolleyes::

1 Installa PC companion e accendi il telefono in fastboot, poi vedi se te lo resetta

2 Prova a flashare con fastboot la cwm del 4.4.2 insieme all'ultima http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/53-sony-xperia-m2-d2303

F.A.Q​

1) Why root access isn't working ?

Ans: Goto Settings => Developer Options => Root Access and enable root.

2)How to use Illumination Bar for notification ?

Ans:

i) Illumination bar is enabled by default, but you can change the settings from Settings -> Buttons -> Backlight.

ii) "Illumination Bar Notification" app is needed for notification to work

iii) You can change theme color from that app too.

iv) In Settings -> Display & Lights -> Notification light, only enable Notification light. No other changes are necessary.

3)How to switch between EXT4/F2FS ?

Ans:

Newer build has F2FS enabled for /data and /cache partition. So you need to format those partition to F2FS first.

i) Make sure to backup everything, cause you'll be formatting your data partition.

ii) Reboot to recovery and goto Wipe => Advanced Wipe. Then wipe system, data, cache, dalvik-cache.

iii) Return to Wipe => Advanced Wipe again. Now select only data partition and click Repair or Change filesystem => Change Filesystem. Now select F2FS from the list and swipe to format data partition to F2FS.

iv) Similarly, format cache partition to F2FS too.

v) Now you're ready to flash the rom. Flash it normally and reboot.

vi) Using steps iii & iv, you can easily go back to EXT4 partition. But wiping is needed.

vii) All these steps are needed ONCE. After you formatted to F2FS, you don't need to do it again.

vii) Remember, to flash rom successfully your /data and /cache partition have to be in F2FS format..

OMX not working means no hardware accelerated video decoding ?

As far as I know, it means we have no 3d acceleration, but I could be wrong.

Launcher Replacement

I am not kumquat user, but I am pretty much interested in its development, so I am happy XU finally has cm12, but I find the launcher is not the one, so apart from using Google Now Launcher, you can use this launcher which comes with CM12 of many phones. Its in attachments.

First try to install it as normal apk, if not try pushing it to system with correct permissions.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
Make a release for Xperia Sola as well please?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Claudiu1:
Really really good :)

I have done some tests and this is my report:

- Camera working both pictures and video

- Bluetooth working

- Wi-fi working

- RIL working

- Video playback working with some bugs (I think for OMX)

I have some problems with the auto-rotation and audio when listening music... I don't know why...

Obviously the ram management is very poor but we are in beta stage, so this is normal :)

In my log i've tested camera, wi-fi, bluetooth, music and something else... i hope it can help. [MENTION=5138693]AGONTUK[/MENTION] if you need help, count me in ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] small2cats482:
First impressions of the ROM, it is stable, not randomly rebooting or anything. But it is slow, and I mean way slower than CM11. To even make the keyboard work I had to download trickster apk to tweak the minfree values so I could sign into google play. And after that there is lag in apps, sometimes in app I press the back button and it freezes for a minute or so with black screen, and is super annoying. The trick my [MENTION=4983664]madz13[/MENTION] seems to work, but still multitasking is not something that is going to happen on this ROM. My advice, it's not ready to be a daily driver yet, only try it if you are willing to deal with the issues.

For the dev, Sir you are amazing. I would have never thought this device would come as far as 4.4, let alone 5.0, and you have done that. And for that I thank you. Keep up the good work!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] madz13:
[MENTION=5193180]small2cats482[/MENTION] , you were rights, IMO do not install gapps(gplay & play service) , now I can chatting via bbm n I can writing with original keyboard and did not found any disappearing keyboard, yeah this is true is not ready for daily driver because its stiil on beta stage,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_ongzhenyu:
Hi, my Galaxy S4 suddenly died out while I was using it halfway. It was still charging (actually 100% already). The phone blackout and I couldnt turn it on.

Here's what I tried:

1) pull out battery and wait for a while then put it back and power on

Result: nothing happens

2) same as 1) but with another spare battery

Result: nothing happens

3) let it charge (to power socket) and waited for about 15 mins

Results: the top side of the phone was warm (beside the microSD slot) and I still cannot power on.

Is this phone useless already?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi mate

Sorry to hear what happen .

Question after you switched to phone on and waited maybe 1-2 min did you try to connect it to the pc, see if the system is alive if you have access to your files.....if so the phone is ok..but maybe the screen is dead or something is loose inside.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_ongzhenyu:
I didn't hear any sound or vibration when I switch it on. I have not try connecting to PC but even if I could, the phone has password lock so I still cannot access unless I unlock the phone
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
The idea is to find out if the problem is the phone or the display , if the pc recognices the phone it means that the phone works...no real need to acces your files

If it does not then your problem is in the electronics and not in the display......just an idea
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_ongzhenyu:
I tried connecting to PC and it does not detect anything. It gets hot beside the microSD slot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
mate ,

it looks like a hardware problem take it toSamsung if in warranty still or to a local service center...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playzoid:
I had a similar problem in the past and it ended up being my power button was malfunctioning. It was apparently just stuck in an off/on loop but not showing anything on screen....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NonXtreme:
Look like mainboard short circuit since top side of the phone got warm and also I assumed from op that display never show anything again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_ongzhenyu:
Is there hope of getting back all the data if it can be repaired? Around how much will it cost? My warranty finished about a month ago :(

If this case, it would be switching off and on all the time? At least showing something on the screen?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Sorry mate , if the phone is not switching on and or is not recogniced by pc i really doubt it, after is fix most likely you will be able.

How much is hard to say.....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_ongzhenyu:
So how do I fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
hi

as i said before ...take it to a local service center, could be samsung or a local repair shop

​

Patiently awaiting for Android 5 to hit the Sense corner of the HTC world, I thought I would dabble a bit with GPE. Presenting a theme for three specific HTC M8 ROM's currently running the Android 5. This these is only a starter theme to get some feedback from users. Included are themed Settings.apk (98% finished), GoogleDialer.apk, GoogleContacts.apk, Google Now Launcher.apk, modded framework-res.apk, and the Calcuator.apk. I am currently theming other Google apks at the moment and will be adding them into the first update.

Themes are made on the latest stable downloads provided by the ROM Developer in their specific threads. Making themes for multiple ROM's is tough business so please provide me with any comments, feedback, or suggestions that you may have.

Special thanks to [MENTION=2948558]Spannaa[/MENTION] for developing a working vtheme for Android 5 and for the use of his vrtheme for my project.

Special thanks to [MENTION=918378]Basil3[/MENTION] for coaching me on a couple of sticky issues.

INSTRUCTIONS​

Choose the correct download for the specific ROM that you are using. The theme currently supports Digitalhigh GPE, Skydragon GPE, and SinLessROM GPe.

Make a back-up of your current device. Flash in recovery.

I will be continuing support and adding new apks with updates. Any apk that you would like to have themed, please let me know.

Enjoy.....

Ok, folks, here is the Razor Winter Theme for the GPE update 3. What's been updated and included are the following.

1. Added theme Google Messenger apk

2. Re-based Google Now Launcher with new colors, icons, and accents
