Different rom?

how about trying a different ROM?

and you were able to use it at China? and couldnt use in Australia???
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Hm... maybe you're using China firmware and it is blocking Google? They don't like people being able to get unrestricted access to the world so I'd bet on them making sure Android doesn't allow it for China ROM's. You might have to work out how to flash open firmware, which could mean problems with PIT partitions so read up first.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James_Watson:
Is the firmware you used a special edition which is blocking Google service? :confused:

This only work,s with latest 4.4.4 update. Your question added in q/a section.
[Sony Xperia E3] casudin:
Help...

Not working fw hare
[Sony Xperia E3] NedqlkoHristov:
Helloo

Do this actually helps? is there any risks? losing internal data or hardbrick? :confused: and if someone can tell me how to update to 4.4.4?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Update your firmware to 18.5.B.0.26
[Sony Xperia E3] casudin:
Help....

After update, sucesfuly.

But I can't failure to download to storage??

Why?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Thare is no risk of brick if you have 4.4.4 kitkat.

On 4.4.2 kitkat it will softbrick your device.

Use third-party download manager or browse with download manager intergrated or try changing download path.

I used download manager intergrated in es file Explorer.

And check if you have enough space to download file.

Bugs

There are bugs in this kernel..

1-System Update showing but m already on 4.4.4

2-On opening sketch app no pic can be edited

I hope u can help me out
[Sony Xperia E3] ohua28:
nc.... please make kernel for d2203 too
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
I think this all

was happening because of permission of externalsd.

Thanks for bug report.

I will report back fix.

I am waiting for 4.4.4 update on D2203 and other Lte devices.

After 4.4.4 kitkat update this will be released for d2203 too.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Try this.

Download attached file (platform.zip) extract it and you will get platform.xml file now open a root xplorer and copy platform.xml file and past it in /system/etc/permissions folder.

If Explorer say overwrite file then say yes.

Set permissions to

Owner read write

Group read

Others read

rw-r-r

Reboot device.

If it work,s report me.

Regards.

guy,s it seems like apk installion problem can be fixed but for fixing it i have to remove internal sd 1.7 gb.

so i need your opinion. should i remove internal 1.7gb and make a bug free single storage kernel.

storage/emulated/ 0 and legacy are important , yes its= storage/sdcard0,

and in storage/sdcard1 i have in folder "0" only folder "clockworkmod" with one document.

And i edit in finaly compiling in init.qcom.rc :

1. delete comments "#" in lines

on property:ro.fuse_sdcard=true
start fuse_sdcard

2. leave stock binding for "on property:init.svc.sdcard" with /mnt/shell/emulated/0

In my opinion pls remove it, I don't see any use of 1.7gb when we can use our external sd card as internal,
[Sony Xperia E3] Morecs:
do it.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
then i will do it.
[Sony Xperia E3] Jujuv:
I agree, this 1,7Gb partition is useless when using an external SD Card .

Just to avoid any problem, write in huge letters in the Op that you removed it in this mod' so kiddys won't cry.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
I will write in huge red letter,s.

And i think by removing 1.7 gb sd we will get whole 1.7 gb for app,s

If you have Skype and/or Facebook Messenger and you perform "Move to SD card" option in app settings, and you have contacts stored on the phone, do you get this error when you turn on the phone: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" ?

do you edit fstab.qcom ?

wipe data , dalvic ?

i dont have problem to install apk from storage/sdcard0 ( SD-card) and try install from external,

I make folder Download in storage>sdcard1(external) and copy to it xposed.installer.apk

and install it .

if you have specific icon of apk , you install it , if icon is as android - dont install
[Sony Xperia E3] fashion_m:
I am using v1.2 and both /storage/sdcard1 and /storage/emulated point to the 0 folder and pictures appear twice in Album and Pictures app. But in reality there is only one picture.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
which v 1.2

i think it was single storage.

it had that bug.
[Sony Xperia E3] fashion_m:
The one that is for D2203.

Also, I think the SD card is detected some time after OS boots and is unmounted some time before OS shuts down. This may cause some problems. Try this - put some apps on the real SD card, put their shortcuts on the home screen and shut down the phone. But watch carefully - some seconds before the phone actually shuts down, a red SD card sign appears above the icons of the apps that are on real SD. As if they get cut off, they become without storage. Watch carefully.

Similar thing happens sometimes when you turn on the phone. If you are very quick and unlock the home screen right after OS boots, you'll see that the icons of the apps that are on the real SD card have red icon above them. The red icons dissapear after a second or two. But if in this moment some app wants to access the real SD card, it may get cut off.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
it dosen,t cause any bug.

tried adding wait for /mnt/shell/sdcard1 before boot.

Hi,after flashing this kernel my SX E3 D2202 can't install apk from sdcard, how to fix this problem?
[Sony Xperia E3] entony80:
Same problem here with D2203, I installed the old kernel and everything is ok
[Sony Xperia E3] pedroj666:
Nothing has changed! :laugh:

This kernel (.13) continues to have all the usual bugs!

Apk won, t install from SD card, I copy them to the internal memory and give me the error "Invalid installation package."

Screen shot work but can not save the pictures !!!

Nothing has changed and everything remains the same!

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

One more thing, stop saying that the kernel. 13 works, just are lying to everybody! :laugh:
[Sony Xperia E3] Morecs:
that's how developing works. he released a bugfix patch, but didn't quite fix everything. people would know if they read the thread instead of just flashing stuff blindly.

not Vinay's fault, he's working to fix the issues.
[Sony Xperia E3] pedroj666:
When I told to stop lying to staff, was talking about the "Angiras" who said that it worked! Do not get me wrong ...:confused:

I am very grateful to vinay to try to resolve the probelema of lack of memory.:good:
[Sony Xperia E3] angiras:
yes, worked with my editing/compiling

this time testing for D2212 KK 4.4.2

for KK 4.4.4 need new driver data base , in this time i dont have it

how install boot.img D2203 LTE android 4.4.2 with CWM v6.0.5.0 with swap memory :

1. make folder 0 (null) in SD-card and copy all from external storage in it, make backup of data and installed apk

2.extract and flash boot.img by FlashTool

3.going to CWM recovery and wipe data /factory reset

4.in biginnig of start go to CWM recovery> advanced> wipe dalvik

P.S. backup you must have in SD-card tree, cash of game and data move/copy to SD-card : 0/Android,

for working storage/sdcard1,sdcard1 = external see do you have line "ro.fuse_sdcard=true" in system/build.prop,

connect to PC in MSC mode , after disconnect is little bug with external storage, make reboot from recovery,

need edit framework.apk but dont have time
[Sony Xperia E3] pedroj666:
I tested the version 13 of vinay kernel which is he said work correctly with 4.4.4. More if you go to the 1st topic you read and you read what is written on the version 13, you'll see that says this work ok.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Forgot to change.

apk won,t install

But apk was installed from sd but after i move apk to multiple locations. That never happened again.

I am just trying to figure out what was happening at that time.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
project updates stopped for some time.

i want to work on nitrogen rom for now this project is so hard.

i wll work on this later. now this kernel is safe. older one with "0" folder was risky. i lost all my files due to zero folder so i removed it. even i it cause apk installation bug.

somebody should try formating his sdcard to ext4 maby this fix app install issue.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
do you think screenshot is not fixed.

then see attached image.

open album app you can find screenshot there.
[Sony Xperia E3] pedroj666:
Ya I take screenshot but when I go to the app album the only thing that appears to me is an image with a logo of damaged file!

So in my D2203 does not work period! Attention I'm not just me saying that does not work, I am just last one!:laugh:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
you will see a damaged one but wait.

swipe left or right thare must be a screenshot.

or just go to internal 1.7 gb sd /pictures/screenshot/your screen shot will be here.
[Sony Xperia E3] NOvianto:
work perfect

Hai ? Vinay, aku memakai custom kernel buatan anda. Sejauh ini memang tidak bisa menginstal apk langsung dari internal storage (ext sdcard) tapi setelah saya coba2, menginstal apk dapat dilakukan setelah memindah file ? apk ke direktori root/mnt/asec/file.apk

Dan sempurna, apk dapat terinstal

Untuk screenshot jg sudah bisa ✊ dibuka melalui album app

Device saya Xperia™ E3 dengan firmware 15.A.0.26 kustomisasi PT Sony Indonesia

Kerja bagus ? buat anda.

[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
thanks for the information.

here is usefull tip. that [MENTION=6628438]NOvianto[/MENTION] gave.

installation of apk can be done after the moving apk file to the root directory /mnt/ASEC/file.apk
[Sony Xperia E3] himfa71:
Still not installing,
[Sony Xperia E3] Morecs:
i can install if i create a folder on root and drop the apk in it.
[Sony Xperia E3] himfa71:
Can you tell me in detail
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
guy,s apk was not instaling even with stock kernel on my rom.

i got that problem must be because of /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

i am busy if some one fix it he could be able to install apps from 1.7 gb storage.

and share that platform.xml with me too.

[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
well i am not doing anything so it is better to close this project.

thare are many more project,s that i had made but closed even before release.

list of closed projects:

* sense me rom (planed to make a rom with sense ui)

* cynogenmod 11 non-lte port (closed after tring to fix netwok issue)

* lollipop 5.0 aosp non-lte port (closed after seeing blackscreen but it was dettected by pc correctly)

* Custom recovery for locked bootloader. (i thought i am not the only one in xperia e3 form somebody else will do it.)

* FIUI port for lte and non lte (closed after bootloop)

all my attention is to Nitrogen Rom.

Nitrogen project will continue untill non lte get news about lollipop is comming official or unofficial.

my plan for lollipop is

* SS kernel.

* an custom kernel.

* sony ui for lollipop if sony did,t released lollipop.

[MENTION=4449607]hell_lock[/MENTION] help me.

i found reason for apk not installing from internel sd.

whenever we copy new file or .apk in internal sd /data/media/0 it,s automatically set to rw- --- --- and it causes that error

tried this script at boot

chmod -R 777 /data/media/0 it fixes problem but if we copy new apk in internal sd it set permission of new apk to rw- --- --- .

so i have to reboot again for installing new apk. now [MENTION=4449607]hell_lock[/MENTION] can you find why and how permission is set to rw- --- ---

it only happen in /data/media nowere else.
[Sony Xperia E3] jrohwer:
I don't know what exactly you are doing in the initrd of your SS kernel. But in normal Android there is a fuse mount that mounts /data/media/0 on /storage/emulated/0 and this fuse mount then sets the permissions correctly. It basically emulates a FAT filesystem that is found on true sdcards (case insensitive, no advanced permissions, etc.). So if you aren't running this fuse mount in your SS kernel then that might lead to problems.

The magic happens in init.qcom.rc, look for the following lines:

on fs
setprop ro.crypto.fuse_sdcard true

service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -l /data/media /mnt/shell/emulated
class late_start

service fuse_sdcard1 /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -w 1023 -d /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1
class late_start
disabled

on property:init.svc.sdcard=running
wait /mnt/shell/emulated/0
mount none /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy bind

You will have to change the mount paths accordingly for your SS kernel.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
everything is set up correctly. that is not causing problem.
[Sony Xperia E3] jrohwer:
Try changing line 47 of init.qcom.rc from

mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0700 media_rw media_rw

to

mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0770 media_rw media_rw
