New UKM update for my Kernel is out!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I have a strange problem with UKM on my C6833. I downloaded the Jan 28 build and verified the MD5 but it seems like the CM Recovery in ZombieKernel fail to flash it. I originally flashed it through DoomKernel after the kernel when I flashed Dirty Unicorns yesterday but noticed that Synapse complains about the lack of UCI support.

What happens when I try to flash it is error messages about the signature and so forth (I couldn't remember any error with CWM yesterday).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yeah thats because of the odd CM recovery, hotboot a kernel with TWRP to flash it.

I will move sooner or later to TWRP in my Kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
What is strange is that I flashed UKM after your kernel from DoomKernel v20 CWM and it looked fine but then I got the UCI error after reboot. I guess that I will fastboot Doom and then flash Zombie from its CWM and UKM after that and hope it works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I got it to work now - I hotbooted Doom v22 and did the UKM flash; it applied properly so everything is now set. Synapse opened properly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Tommy-Geenexus:
Nice.

I tried this several times but failed. Keep getting boot loops regardless.

I'm currently using the Lollipop 5.0.2 Unofficial AICP 8.0 rom...

Unfortunately it comes with the $hitty Cyanogen Mod 12 recovery which is useless. When attempting to flash files it repeatedly fails...

I'd like to use CWM/TWRP recovery. Despite trying several times, the phone does not boot resulting in endless boot loops. When trying manually to flash CWM/TWRP it still boots the old CM 12 recovery.

Could you please put me in the right direction? Thank you so much.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krankdroid:
Now asking that question here is not the right place to ask since.. Well.. Most people already purchased the device. It is however, the best place to ask about the Z3 since, well.. Most people purchased the device.

At this point i started out on Android with the HTC desire z, then the original Galaxy Note, LG G1, and have now paid off my Galaxy Note 2. Looking for a new phone I found that my needs is somewhat fulfilled with the Z3, although it is hard to tell, without actually owning and using the device as my daily usage.

I was thinking off continuing along the Samsung Note series with the 4, but the screen is to big, and I am honestly a bit tired of having a hard time reaching the far side of my phone. Battery is my main concern actually. I got rid of the LG G1,due to not being able to accept the uptime ratio and I see the the Z3 contains a 3100 mAh battery like my Note 2, and that Sony promises 2 days on 1 charge, but to be honest I don't really believe in such a promise. Hell, I could squeeze 5 days our my battery if I really tried, but the thing is that I actually use my phone.

So is it a decent battery that actually delivers in the Z3?

Also. The camera. That has really got me going as I use my camera a lot, and must admit that lenses and cameras is done really well by Sony.

But is the camera really noticeable better than say a 13 MP camera?

And last but not least. I flash custom Roms. Not as much as I used to, but I would choose a custom bleeding edge Rom over some stock firmware waiting for updates with 3 GB bloatware.

I heard something about locked bootloaders and Sony on general not being a good choice if you want to flash anything, and yet I saw something a few weeks ago where Sony released official video guides on unlocking your Xperia phone.

So which is it?

Has the Z3 been pried open to gain root access and flash custom roms?

Thanks

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
Ok I'll bite.

You'll get anywhere from 6-10hrs of screen on time on a Z3. Factors will be how many apps you use and what types of apps those are, obviously something like a processor and graphics intensive game will chew up the battery far quicker than the gmail app. With realistic, moderate use 3-4 SOT per day, you really can get 2 days battery life.

Some people love the camera and some people hate it. It's a bit slower to respond and in the Auto mode it will spit out a down sampled 8MP file FYI. If a little thought is put into taking a pic, it can produce some excellent results.

ROM support is pretty bad right now, but then again Sony's UI is pretty light

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlatan01:
I would say it's worth it... and I get mine tomorrow. Honestly, I've had my share of devices, but I keep going back to Sony.

1) The UI is nice, pretty light (as mentioned by se1000) and it does mostly what I want. Nova usually winds up on the device at some point if I want the AOSP look.

2) Sony is good with warranty repairs etc... I know from experience from getting work done on my Xperia T years ago. Took some time as I bought it from the UK and used it in the states, but they didn't balk at repairs and I sent the thing in unlocked and rooted.

3) Build quality feels better to me than any other device I've handled. I am coming from an LG G3

4) They are community friendly. Sure, they may not RUSH to put out Lolli, but they are head and shoulders above others (I've mentioned Oppo... I used to have a find5). They also have, basically, Sony XDA reps as I see them, and I think they work with the FXP team on stuff?

5) Small updates are frequent. Not KK to Lolli, but updates in the same build. I think there have been 5 or

6 on the Z1c I had... you know they're paying attention.

Now, you'll find a decent amount of posts expressing issues with the device. Hell, you'll find the same for any device. The way I see it, usually people make noise when something isn't working, and rarely when things are all hunky dory. Therefore, you will always have a disproportionate level of experiences, in favor of those with issues. I am not going to say the issues are excusable, or that they don't exist, but I tend to think that generally most devices are better than their XDA threads might indicate.

Just my .02
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jan0sch:
I would also say: yes, it is worth it.

I come from a Galaxy S5 and I don't miss it at all.

I own the Z3 only for a week now, but normaly after 2 or 3 days I'm "not so much in love" anymore with the device but I am still in love with the Z3.

I tested much devices like the One M8, the LG G2, the LG G3, the Z2, the N5, the S5 and finally the Z3.

All in all it is the best device in my eyes. Its design is great, it's very comfortable to use (also in one hand), it's fast and the battery life is insane.

I only have to charge it every 2 days and I get a SOT of 7h +.

:p:)

How can I set Volume buttons to control ONLY "Music, video, games and other media"?

Hi, there's one thing I really hate about Smartphones, and it's the Volume button and it's function. Sometimes I accidentally press it and the phone goes from Mute to Sound, it changes the volume of the ringtone, etc.

So, If you go to Settings, Sound, Volumes, you see:

1. Music, video, games and other media

2. Ringtone

3. Notifications

4. System

I want that when I press the volume button, it only changes the volume of "Music, video, games and other media". I don't want it to change the mode of the phone, or the sound of the ringtone or whatever. :confused:

What can I do?

By the way, I have a Samsung Galaxy Core II with Android 4.4.2, though this is a generic question. THANKS! :)

Hi.

There's a kernel switch set to "Always enforcing"

If I understand the basics of this issue correctly you'll need a patched and recompiled kernel.

I haven't looked around but if there isn't one available, it should be possible to make one yourself.

Check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2755962

I haven't tried it out myself but the instructions seem fairly comprehensive.

There are a couple of issues that follow so I strongly suggest reading the entire thread and instructions several times and ask around if something is unclear.

I've figured out the issue with the OUYA controller on Lollipop and it's all related to line 41 in the .kl file, specifically HOME ALT. I've removed the HOME ALT and replace it with BUTTON_START instead and it seem to work a lot better now, and gamepad is being detected properly:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B86...ew?usp=sharing

So if you're having issues with the OUYA gamepad on Nvidia SHield tablet, use that patch as it seem to fix the issues and it works really well (better than Dualshock 3 for an example).

After I upgraded my LG G3 to 5.0 I decided to downgrade it back down to 4.4.2 because 5.0 was crashing randomly. After I got 4.4.2 installed back onto the phone, McAfee shows up automatically and wants a PIN. I never made one.

I can't factory reset the device, it tells me the kill switch is disabled. Also, USB download mode is also disabled by McAfee. I'm at a loss, what do I do?

Hi. I think I can help you. Because I have the same problem ago and I solved it.

The way is :

1、reboot your phone again and again until mcafee not auto-start (trust me you can )

2、if you into the system without mcafee successful，Congratulations on your！You have achieved half of success！

3、download towelroot and installed to root your phone

4、after that. Your phone will restart ，then you have the same work likes step 1

5、download TitaniumBackup and installed，then find mcafee on TitaniumBackupal and unInstalled

6、then your phone will work normal，good luck for you.

Kill Switch Disabled / Black Screen After Factory Data Reset

I just had this problem too; after Factory Data Reset ("FDR") from the "Settings" menu, I went thru setup, opened my Google Backup, watched my Apps reinstalling, then ended up with a black screen showing only the status indicators at the top, and the "Back" arrow at the bottom.

After trying hardware FDS a couple of times, I got a message saying "....Kill Switch Disabled" and then the black screen again.

It turned out that I had installed McAfee antivirus on my phone, including a feature (Kill Switch) which would prevent anyone who got hold of my phone from wiping it and re-selling it for someone else to use.

Once I realized this, all I had to do was log in to my McAfee for Android account from my computer and disable that setting. I don't remember the details of doing so, but it was fairly self-evident once I realized what was happening.

Good Luck

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashtheface:
Hello,

Currently I'm running Debian Wheezy [armel] [xfce] on my vk810. I love this app; however I would like to use the framebuffer instead of VNC.

I am also having issues properly configuring the frame buffer so that it functions. currently the device freezes when I stop the android gui and initiate the debian gui. I have yet to get it working successfully, trying multiple DPI, and frame buffer settings.

I'm thinking it would be awesome to run debian from my vk810, having the enviroment displayed through my slimport. Idealy it would be nice to assign debian a seperate framebuffer than the android enviroment so that I can use both enviroments simultaniously without using a 3rd party machine running the VNC client.

So.

Has anyone had any luck with successfully running the linux deploy enviroment through their frame buffer, if so what settings/enviroment/architecture did you use.

Is it possible to run android and linux deploy environments on seperate frame buffers? ie. Android on the device display and debian on the slimport attached display.

I'd also love to hear some feedback from those who have been successfully using Linux Deploy on their LG G Tab 8.3's. What do you find works best, what distro/arch are you running, and how are you dealing with limited arm7 support.

For those of you who do not know what Linux Deploy is, you can check it out here. If you also have a better recommendation for a linux deployment suite please share!

Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
Very interested in this. Was running AntiX with Fluxbox, and now Mint on my laptop and couldn't get vnc to work at all. Must have been doing something wrong.

Anyway, having a separate partition for Linux on android would be awesome! Don't really know what I would do with it other than a decent browser and maybe gimp?

I'm willing to give it a go as well. I'm sure it will be a learning curve though.

How are you doing this with a locked boot loader? Or is it not relevant? Regards,
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashtheface:
basically you use the already running kernal for your android system, using linux deploy or a few other scripts i've seen around the web allow you to boot an armel or armhf architecture using the already running android kernal.

To get a native debian or Arch system running on this device would be awesome, but I would just be happy with figuring out native frame buffer setup and having the ability to switch from the device screen or the slimport hdmi output.

I'm thinking this may be possible seeing how the device screen has an independent frame buffer from the slimport [fb1].

I'm personally just starting to experiment with it, I'm not that experienced but I think it has a lot of potential on the vk810, not just because of the dpi [243] but also becuase of the slimport accessibility.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
I'm running the 510, so it may or may not be the same, but have you looked into the kernel settings for the framebuffer? When messing around in the 510 file I remember seeing a couple of options there for the config but don't know if they are relevant or not. I will look at it again to see if there might not be something else that needs to be turned on or compiled in.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashtheface:
I would look into the kernal issue but I have no idea what I'm doing. You could very well be right. I'm using the stock vk810 kernal I wonder if the 510 builds are compatible, and if they are if anyone has messed with the frame buffering.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
Well, the cool thing is that if you look in my signature below you will see a link on How to roll your own kernel, and it is literally copy and paste all the way through. The only difference for your device would be in the read me that comes with the kernel source. Specifically, the version of the google toolchain to use, and the name of your devices "defconfig" in the kernel source..

In other words, one line to change slightly, and that's about it. You should be able to get the source from lg... Same basic location as I have outlined.

Wheezy should be just fine.

on another note, I did look at my kernel source file and for the most part everything looks real good. Slim bus is the way it should be with no further options and everything enabled. Frame buffer support should all be there except for console support. Which, I don't think we need any way. There was also support for virtual frame buffer, which is used for debugging purposes and I turned off for my most recent compile just to see how it'll work because it may or may not use a little more memory. Also there was a pretty cool option for turning on one of three Linux logos for your Android during boot :) I may mess with that a little bit.

Seriously, you should check out the kernel building. Its all there. The only thing that isn't is the Loki support, and that should be no sweat using one of the 500 kernel zip scripts. Either of the other two active kernel developers would help you with that. I'm sure.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Okay, just checked out linux deploy through your link. Looks pretty cool but I dont understand the vnc bit. Is it installing a linux image on the sdcard and then booting from that? AND where does vnc come in? is it all in the device itself?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
Okay, I get it now. Am downloading now. Using Ubuntu with precise and armhf. We'll see :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashtheface:
Yeah the VNC work around is kind of gimmicky, it also is assumed as the default config. I'm sure what is being done with Linux Deploy is easily accomplished with chroot and a few scripts in android terminal, but the gui is pretty straightforward and has worked pretty well for the distro's i've tried it with. Like I said earlier our LG's have a lot of potential with the slimport and the ability to run two environments side by side.

I just started reading into your make your own kernal I'm looking forward to what I learn. Thanks so much for this resource!
