[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paynemaster:
Ahhh o was thinking i had to root stock in order to install different kernels/roms but if i understand, u only need to unlock the bootloader in order to run different kernels/roms for that.

So flashing a kernel is some sort of way for making a backup?

Edit: Yeah i have .69 i tried super-one-click but it crashed right away. I am already gonna use a different kernel i see not reason why i should root my stock version
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paynemaster:
I used "eroot_v1.3.4.exe". Phone seems to be rooted. i got Superuser now. Only when i launch it it shows me ''There are currently no Superuser app policies'' do i need to install something else in in order to use it?

the reason why i whant to root my stock is i whant to have a recovery backup on hand.

i still find some of the tutorials on xda real foggy. so like when i see a kernal i like and i whant to install, i use Flashtool to install them?

its still really confusing which rom works with which kernel. i can't really find a nice thread to look this out
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Yes

Now you have root. Superuser app is just app that grant other apps root permission. On it's own don't have much to do. When other app ask for root permition, you'll be asked do you want to grant or deny that root permission.

To have recovery on stock kernel, you'll need app for that.

[APP]/[RECOVERY]x-Parts [CWM Installer] [Version 7.0] 29/6/12

Make sure you download v5 (CWM Installer-v5.apk) from attachment, because v7 don't work on Xperia Play

When you have custom kernel, you won't need app for recovery, because recovery is already included in kernel.

You don't need flashtool to install kernel, but it is much easier, with just few click.

Without flashtool, you'll need to put kernel file in same directory where you adb.exe and fastboot.exe is (from android SDK or flashtool folder) and flash it by typing from command promt (i don't even remember exact commands for it, it was so long ago i was flashing that way, that i forgot about it)

And also, flashtool containt windows driver for flash and fastboot mode.

As i said, kernel must be same match as ROM.

Stock kernel, Lupus GB v12, Doomlord V14, Extreme kernel are used for roms based on stock firmware (which is GB) and you can't use ICS, JB, KK or LP roms with those kernels.

Also, most CM roms comes with kernel inside zip file (boot.img) that need to be flashed.

CM7, even it's GB rom must use it's own kernel because it is not stock-based rom and will not work with stock-based kernels.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydrony:
If you dont have any app that needs superuser rights, then it wont show you anything of course. You could try no-frills cpu control to see that youre rooted for example.

Almost every rom comes with a kernel. So if you download a rom, check the zip-file and if something like boot.img is included in there extract it. This kernel should perfectly work with the rom, because the developer included it, or he build this kernel especially for the rom.

If you succesfully flashed the kernel through fastboot and got the rom to work you can think about using another kernel :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paynemaster:
Hydrony. U where talking about ur using gingerbread now. u also mentioned try using android 4.0.4+ rom greenify. for lower hardware usage. I cannot find ''rom greenify'' in the development section.

I am checking out this rom http://xdaforums.com/xperia-play/development/dev-play-neo-l-legacyxperia-t2802932 the part I don't understand are the requirements. They say ''Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed'' i guess that is the CM Kernel right? They are talking about the CM11.0 in the thread titel but i see https://basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/zeus a CM12.0 version in the folders. does this mean there is an update for this CM, and that i can now go for CM12.0 or is this for other devices? After that they are talking about ''R800i (Play) users need to flash MT25i (Neo L) ftf'' is this something i must do first? and what is it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paynemaster:
i have totally no idea where to unpack this.. i do got the kernel with it ''boot.img''

Edit:oke i got it running now. i only forgot to install gapps. iam not sure if it matters which gapps i take http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53319258#post53319258 Should i just go for 5.0.X?

its hard finding a kernel+rom where i can use Nintendo 64 Emulator without problems. tried 2 so far but they booth keep hanging up. anyone got a link to one i should try?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydrony:
Yes, I am using a gingerbread rom, because its fast and reliable and all emulators i use (Drastic, n64oid etc.) Run very well.

Greenify is not a rom, its an app thats Working on devices with at least ice cream sandwhich installed. It hibernates all apps, that you dont use at the moment, so they dont waste ram capacity which is quite important on devices with low ram like Xperia play.

Ftf files must be flashed with flashtool. They are the stock firmwares from sony and some custom roms need specific stock Roms as a base. So you should install them before flashing kernel etc. If you dont want to encounter problems :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paynemaster:
ah oke. So that means i have to download the stock firmware, flash it. And after that, flash the kernel? Is there only one ftf stock firmare file? Or does every different kernel needs a different stock firmware

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crabwalker:
hi there :)

first of all, I am no expert in the ROM related knowledge, but i did go back to WM5 from WM6 recently. The reason I have gone back to WM5 it is because I am suspecting the Chinese viewer (CE-Star) that i used does not work good in any flavor of WM6, it causes frequent lock-ups in WM6 that makes my phone pretty much unusable.

Besides, i don't mind to share my experience for downgrading to WM5, the following is my up and down sequence.

1. upgrade from Dopod WM5 rom to WM6 cooked rom

2. upgrade to SPL 1.40

3. upgrade radio to 1.38.00.11

4. upgrade radio to 1.40.30.00

5. upgrade to SPL 2.10

6. downgrade SPL from 2.10 to 1.40

7. downgrade from WM5 Rom (It is some sort of HTC Standard WM5 Rom that my friend gave me, and my radio has gone back to 1.38.00.10 as the ROM comes with it.

8. upgrade to SPL 2.10

9. upgrade to Radio 1.40.30.00

Also, you may check out mrvanx's guide for downgrading to WM5 here.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] harlenm:
I actually just did it. I was running the latest version of HardSPL, flashed to the new ATT ROM, and then created a updater to flash the SPL to the ATT spl.

Wasn't hard, and only took a few minutes. So, as of right now, my phone is running the new ATT ROM, and if I need to warranty it, I'm all set.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] d1eter:
in the wiki it mentions..

I'm using 838pro, what about the ROM which available to download from the dopod company website.

does it safe to just flash from it or do I need to repackage the ROM..?

thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] alanchia67:
if you only want to read chinese, but not input, there is an alternative to it. look for a cab which is named 'sunglobe.ttf register patch'.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papakeithjenkins:
Maybe the easiest way

First thing I would want to do is to Flash the unit to what is known as a "Hard SPL". For some reason it makes all the other flash work go a lot more smoothly. You can get instructions and software for that at:

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=40&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=2

Once that is done, and it should take about 5-10 minutes depending upon the speed of your computer and USB connection, you can load whatever OS rom you desire.

You can get a carrier agreeable rom from the Cingular/ATT site:

http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html

Or, and this should work, just link directly to the rob by clicking:

http://www.htcamerica.net/support/d...R_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe

This should leave you at the latest and greatest of the WM5 packages from Cingular/ATT, and all should be well. And . . . if it hozes . . . which it should not, you should have no warrantee issues since you were trying to flash the upgrade that THEY were providing you. :-D

Laters,

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] battousai-k:
ROMs from Dopod HK or Singapore are very old ones. The SPL is 1.04. You may not be able to flash backward if you are with HardSPL v7. Also if your radio ROM is newer than 1.27, you may face problem when you flash the original (as it is packed with an old radio rom).

(Please correct me if I am wrong.)

To play safe, follow mrvanx' guide:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crabwalker:
After some readings and I have managed to used dutty's tool to recompiled the Dopod's WM5 English rom from the original Dopod shipped rom.

This rom has OS + Extended Rom ONLY.

No IPL, No SPL, No Radio.

I have tested and it works on my Hermes, and Bootloader and Radio stay as is. Please note your result may vary.

Here's the download link :)

http://rapidshare.com/files/29500131/WM5_Dopod_1.30.707.4__Huchison_3_AU__OS_ExtRom_only.7z

To play safe, I would suggest you to do the following prior flashing the OS rom.

1.	Flash boot loader to Hard-SPL-V7

2.	Flash your radio rom to 1.38. or 1.40

[Greenify] paco_ramirez:
I have recently bought the donation pack for greenify and I have several questions. First of all, I want to say that the app is really fulfilling all my expectations but as someone worried about my battery performance I still have some question, but first I'll say the conditions of my smartphone:

Samsung galaxy s5 with lollipop using greenify 2.5.2 donation pack (non rooted)

Questions:

1) I cannot see apps like chrome to be greenified and I want to have them like that as I see chrome takes up to several hours of internet connection even if I have just used it for some minutes. I wonder this is possible because I suppose this can be made as in other apps like battery killers, chrome can be killed, but I just haven't seen how.

2) Everytime I open greenify there are many "pending" apps that are not hibernated, even if I click in "zzz" button or in the button that says "hibernate and turn off the screen". The only way to deal with these pending apps is to select all of them and click on "zzz". I guess there should be a way to have them automatically hibernated.

3) There is an option in the menu that talks about an automatic manner to do this but I don't see how to activate it. I have it marked the greenify options for locking the screen but there are even more things to set that I don't see where and how. Maybe you can guide me in this better. In case I have this option chosen, pending apps will be automatically closed after some minutes, as it is said? if so, how many minutes?

Thanks in advance!
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
Have you set Greenify to "on" in SETTINGS>Accessibility?

If you want to manually hibernate, create the shortcut from within Greenify (use the three button icon on the top right). When you use the shortcut, the chosen apps will be hibernated and the screen will be locked afterwards.

In Autohibernate, the time taken for hibernation varies but all apps should be hibernated within 10 minutes max.

For hibernating system apps like Chrome, I think you need root permission.
[Greenify] paco_ramirez:
Yes, the accesibility for Greenify is set to activated. However this options is never enabled within the "experimental settings" menu. It's always set to off. So I have never seen my phone awaking ten minutes after to turn off all pending apps. They remain opened. Any hint?.

Best regards!
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
When you click the "always off" Automatic Hibernation option in Experimental Features, what happened? It is supposed to be a accessibility setting dialog for you to enable the accessibility service from Greenify for the first time, then Device Admin dialog to enable the other service for the second time, and being checked at last for the third time.
[Greenify] paco_ramirez:
Here I post the sequence I do in screenshots. Evrytime I click in that button it appears the same dialog. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...but i dont get it working and I have to hibernate manually pending apps

Thanks for helping! ?
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
Have you enabled 'secure key guard'?

If so, disable it and then check.
[Greenify] paco_ramirez:
Yes! it was that!. I supposed it was enough by allowing greenify in the security menu. Thanks!

However, I wanted to have it working because I thought it was the only way to have pending apps hibernated because with the button "hibernate and lock" was not hibernating pending apps. After rebooting the phone (thing that I do seldom) it works as I expected. I guess this was the cause why greenify wasn't worked as I expected. Then, for me it is ok if I have that button since it does what I expected to.

Thanks to all!
