Hey guys I'm completely stumped on what my baseband is because it's NOT any of this -32 or 62 or 64 stuff that I see everyone talking about and I was curious about getting a stable ICS on my R800x. Sad thing is almost nothing seems to be compatible with my phone and my current ROM. (R800x with UK ROM) I love the UK rom but there seems to be nothing for it or something that is wrong that's not letting me really upgrade to anything. I see the requirements for everything now is requiring baseband 4.0 something something and I don't have any of this.
So I would like to know how to upgrade this phone to the CORRECT stats to get my phone MAXED out. I'm such a noob to this stuff and I have searched this forum again and again and alot of this stuff is still complicating for me so please bear with me. I also have a Screenshot of my phones info so maybe you guys can see what I need to go here.

Hello Squall429.
Those basebands are for GSM users (R800i/a/at).
The most stable ICS ROM for R800x is CyanogenMod 9 by paxChristos, as it has very little problems at this state.
It requires you to unlock your bootloader, which can be done from this site, with a fee of $24.
I have my bootloader already unlocked. And why this version of the phone so neglected? Is it due to it being CDMA?

The fact that it is the only version of the Xperia Play that is a CDMA is more of a contributing factor, rather than the full reason. Most of the developers for the Xperia Play are from outside the United States, and a vast majority of them do not have CDMA networks. In fact, Verizon Wireless is the only carrier (official) that has the R800x.
The reason why CDMA has such a problem, aside from lack of developers, is the fact that the R800x technically isn't allowed to be unlocked. Sony originally unlocked them, but Verizon threw a fit, so now we can't unlock without going through a backdoor method. As such, people such as the FXP team, which does the CyanogenMod ports, don't really want to touch the R800x. At least, that's what they say.
Most of the reason why the CDMA isn't developed for, really, is a lack of demand. It's not that we're not demanding, but the fact that we are a small group, compared to the other versions of the R800 series. Thankfully, we have people like paxChristos and agraceful developing/porting for us, as well as a number of foreign developers, like KeiranFTW and DooMLoRD, that try to help port things for our phones, even though they don't have the CDMA version.
So there you go, and thanks to the developers who pity us.

Well then I dunno if I have a defective battery or not but my battery barely lasts a day until I have to charge it. I have the R800x UK Firmware ROM because Verizon's stock ROM is crap for me. 5 screens, horrible widgets and dumbed down version of other ones. It's so limited than the UK.
Got any tips for my battery to last as long as these people says theres do? 5 days on a charge with moderate to heavy use?

I do moderate gaming (2-3 hours total), with WiFi on 75% of the time grabbing Emails and Texts, while listening to music for 4-5 hours.
I take off the charger at 5:30, and put it on at 9, with about 10% battery left.
I don't think I could ever get 5 days
Try reduceing screen brightness, and use less animations/gaming/video

I actually bought a somewhat extended battery on eBay it's a 1780mAh I think with a microchip built in to prevent overcharging and making the battery last longer. Guess I'll see how that goes.
So about this ICS Rom. How is it? Does Video Recording work yet? And what's the best kernel to everything smoother and have good battery life with?
Doomlord
DarkForest
UK Stock
or Verizon Stock?
I have an R800x as well and I want to know if I could flash MIUIv4 and use that as a ROM. I know I'd have to change the kernel, but what else would I have to change to get that to work?

After I flash that, I'll be able to use MIUIv4 because its based off of CM9, right?
If so, which kernel should I use?

Hi, So as many of you have heard/read, it looks like the GS2 will be getting ICS soon (possibly in a couple of weeks). That version will probably by 4.0.3 or .4 My question is where is the nexus update? At this rate the GS2 will have a better version of ICS.
I am day one Nexus purchaser. I have owned the G1, N One, Nexus S, And Now GN.
But out of all the phones I have bought, this phone is by far the worst experience. Frankly its because of all the things google said would be fixed with ICS and the fact that the other phones did not have glaring issues at launch. The browser lags, battery life is just OK, this app switch button lags really badly (yes 1-3 sec is bad Lag in this case) and so on and so on.
It bugs me that 4.0.3 and .4 fix this and the GS2 might have it before, but we haven't gotten it yet. I feel like I am using beta software cause there are so many things that need to be fixed in 4.0.2.
I never recall Apple releasing a software this messed up. And they usually have updates out relatively quick. Also Do not tell me to flash some rom, I do not feel comfortable doing so with a $600 phone nor should I be fixing the problems with this device.
I just feel like google needs to come out and say when they will update their phones. Give a timeline and if it needs to take longer to finish,then there is nothing you can do about it, but do not release software that has some glaring issues with it. Trust me if the nexus release in January as opposed to NOV-DEC. I think almost everyone would have still bought it.
Thats the end of my rant
Thanks!
P.S. I am ready for any and all flaming.
The SGS2's ICS will blow, it will be the same old TW garbage. Most of the leaked alphas/betas have been 4.0.3 fwiw. Each of them had pretty large issues of their own and if the final release is bug free I'll be really, really....really shocked.
I heard it was coming out tomorrow, since I already have 4.0.4 I won't get the update to share though. You know why Apple doesn't have to update so much? When they release, it's already outdated hardware and software (but it's thoroughly tested).
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
if you want 4.0.3 download a custom ROM. You buy a 'developer' phone then complain that it has issues... The Galaxy Nexus will be updated in due time.
Being a custom ROM is always nicer than stock especially since our phones only run AOSP. Anything added over what Google only makes our device better.
Didn't we just have this thread? *eyeroll*
If the best thing you can find to troll about is the fact that the S2 is *finally* getting ICS when us Gnex owners have had it since last November, and the S2 *might possibly* have a newer version for a few weeks, after which you probably won't see even bug fix updates for six months or more... I think you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, mate.

Last time I checked, I've been running 4.0.3 for a while now....how about you? Lol
Touchwiz + ICS is a ugly experience. At least on the leak builds I've used on my Epic 4g Touch. Plus what Samsung does and what Google does is too different things.
Your talking about a phone that been out for almost 2 years n comparing it to a phone that only been out since Nov of last year. The GS2 deserves it update since its been on the market longer .
Like I said Touchwiz just don't look right on ICS. Matter of fact any skin don't look right on ICS

I've bought the GN for the same reason most of us have - Timely Updates . Not to say I didn't think there would be a version updated by Samsung and one updated by Google...:|
Not to say the Nexus S users (most of them) are waiting for their updates too.

Yea because 4.0.3 is made by "some dude". If he is unable or too afraid to flash 4.0.3 then he can wait until Google officially releases it as OTA. 4.0.3 is available for flashing, if he chooses not to flash it then I don't want to hear any complaining.
The sgs2 is a joke BTW.

Lmao. Have you seen ics on the SGSII it has tw over it. Nothing will be a major upgrade. It will still look like this but have 4.0.x on the about screen. Big deal. The development over in that section is dead anyway. They pick up one new dev and boot 2.
I went from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4. Back to 4.0.3 we are still winning

Coming from an SGS2 I can tell you the only thing which is good on this phone is the 720p screen, but it can't playback 720p movies.
The camera of the s2 was much better but I don't take a lot of pictures so I don't care.
And I don't know why but this phone lags a lot, but it doesn't have freezes nor random reboots
And last but not least, battery life was excellent on the SGSII, I could easily make it through a day, the battery life of the GN is much worse!
So please think twice before saying the SGSII is a joke because at some points it is even superior to the Galaxy Nexus! But I love this 720p screen so much that's why I keep it!
Does the numerical value of the OS you're using really mean that much to you? What major features are you desperately missing in going from .2 to .3? If someone repackaged a 4.0.2 update and renamed it 4.0.5, I guarantee you wouldn't know the difference. In fact you would probably brag how much smoother and more battery efficient it is.

The Galaxy Nexus isn't a 'developer' phone, that's exactly why you put developer in quotes. Technically it might have been made with developers in mind but you can buy a Galaxy Nexus in a brick and mortar store right alongside every other Android device with no special membership, card or secret handshake required. So the Galaxy Nexus cannot be forgiven any faults because it's a developer phone - I didn't get this thing for free at Google I/O did I?
Anyway, I agree with the OP so much. Even though the main reason I sold my SGS2 was to get ICS, I don't really care if the SGS2 is getting ICS 3 months later. I just want my Nexus to get OTA updates when they are supposed to be out, I don't want to be discriminated because I bought my phone in country X or from carrier Y and be stuck in the past while more special Nexus' are getting updates.

Why? You can't handle someone not sharing your opinion on a device and then sharing those views online?
We aren't slaves to these corporations. We don't sell a device we own at a loss, pick up a new device, find out it's not exactly as advertised so then we can go back tail between our legs. We pay good money and we have the right to be critical.

Hi,
Just bought my Galaxy Nexus today, i'm coming from a Xperia Arc, best phone i ever had, but outdated specs for nowadays (except for the camera).
Just 15 minutes using the phone i noticed the gray bands on the screen. First i thought it was a problem with my device and i even called the shop to ask for a replacement, but searching later i saw it was a general problem, related to the S amoled screen. I was shocked, how a flagship and expensive phone could have so primary problem ?
Anyway, i already sold my Arc, so i started to look for workarounds ; if the problem is only in gray colors, i will try to avoid. Unfortunately, ICS plague G. Nexus owners with ALL google apps with the infamous gray background, so now everytime i open any google app, i remember my device has a faulty screen.
So i searched in settings to change the background color to a dark theme ; in my Arc with Android 2.3.3 this was simple. Again i've been frustrated : no option to change it and searching in this forum now i know that simply change google app's background needs to root, unlock bootloader and flash a new rom ; i've done this before in other devices but i know it's not an easy task , often leading to problems.
So far, i'm VERY disappointed. If i could go back in time, i would sticky with my Arc until another really good option shows up. I live in Brazil and flagships phones take a long time to be available here and are VERY expensive.
Anyway, SHAME on you google and Samsung. Being a Android fan since i left my N97, i'm really disappointed now.

try screen adjuster from pstore or install a custom rom/kernel and use the color control
you own a google phone, you can do anything with it
adb backup - backup your data, if you care about it (unlock erases everything)
fastboot unlock
fastboot boot path-to-insecure-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery path-to-clockworkmod.img
adb restore - if you did backup anything
There. Or use the GNex toolkit, does all of this for you expect backup.
@thefunkyjoint. Do what the guys are telling you and root the phone. Run aokp , liquid ics , gummy or any of the popular custom roms. Your opinion of this phone will change a lot. Plain and simple the phone becomes flawless .

Yeah Bro the Xperia arc was a piece of crap the specs were outdated when it came out. I had it for 3 weeks and then I sold it for the sgs2. Actually the only good thing the Xperia arc had was a good camera that I'll admit. I have no idea what gray lines you're talking about but there is a colour control function in franco kernel, combine it with AOKP and you got a lean mean android machine.

Off topic, but I found this kind of funny. On my Eris I downloaded an app from the market and was rooted in one click. On my nexus I had to hook it up to my computer, install a ton of software, spend a bunch of time searching the Internet for the steps people left out, edit some configuration files, and wipe the phone.
Easy, maybe for the devs, but for your average user, no.

Side note: For those of us who took the time to learn the right way all along, rooting this took as much time as it did for you to download an apk on your Eris.

Install PdaNet for drivers
Run a batch file to unlock bootloader (I concede you have to do a backup if you decided to root way after getting the phone, otherwise you can just accept it since market will auto redownload all your apps and your contacts are stored in the cloud anyway). There's countless sites describing how to unlock your g-nex, which if you look at the command(s), is very simple to understand even if you are technologically retarded...
Double click the batch file in Paul's superboot package
I managed to do this when I didn't really have a clue about my phone or Android. I'm sure anyone who can find their way here has the mental capacity to root their phone without a hitch.
And if by "your average user" you mean the people that don't understand that their phone runs Android -- well, they're not going to root their phone anyway so it doesn't matter.

OK everybody this thread has gotten way off topic while waiting for our OTA update which is supposed to be "tomorrow" (if you're confused just read a few pages) This thread now is a place for us to joke around, slander Verizon and talk about DIX

I know this just shows the pessimist in me (or what I feel about VZW's track record, because I think it would be more them than HTC), but also from that blog:
"For more background, due to how storage on the HTC Desire HD is partitioned – and the larger size of Android 4.0 – it would require re-partitioning device storage and overwriting user data in order to install this update. While technically advanced users might find this solution acceptable, the majority of customers would not. We also considered ways to reduce the overall size of the software package, but this would impact features and functionality that customers are currently using. Even after installing the update, there were other technical limitations which we felt negatively impacted the user experience."
Is Verizon willing to lose some stupid bundled apps to make sure it can fit on our Dinc2? I imagine they could save plenty of space by not bundling NFL Mobile, etc...
My 2 cents.

Do you have a link to when they said June or July?
The only eta I ever read was August... I don't think we have anything to worry about personally, but only time will tell. I don't really care as long as they release kernel source for at least one of the other variations of the dinc2 that already has official ics. I have given up on sense roms anyways since I switched to ics.

kernel source from oem's is a murky proposition at best....ideally source would be available as soon as an update is out, but htc hides behind their typical (90-120 days after release) window....though (thunderbolt gb update) they have released source on the same day as an update
i have no idea why they pull this, since theres nothing to change/add to the kernel since its already released, but there isnt much to do on our end...short of suing them
so idk

Well for one DesireHD is not the Incredible S/2. Second, it's not about your or me or this site it's about the larger customer base so HTC is acting in best interest of their own company to not release something that could make a lot (more than here, rootz, ac, etc) of people pissed off. Always keep in mind we are the smaller,much smaller, segment of a larger industry.

Also keep on mind that that larger user base usually doesn't know what software version their phone has and they probably think GB is the latest since their phone says up to date if they check under software updates. It's true that we're a smaller segment of a larger group, but we're the ones that keep up with this kind of stuff and actually care about updates on time. Other users could care less as long as their phone gets the job done.

Well Verizon or HTC haven't said anything about the Inc2 since the initial memo. Again going by e DesireHD is wrong since its not the same phone. Verizon or HTC saying "well research and see" would still cause you to be mad. If the IncS got it the Inc2 should be getting it they're identical phones for the most part.
Well it looks like the Merge 4.0 is not very hot. It has gotten few hits and even fewer downloads. I am thinking that yall dont want a Sense 3.0 rom. So how about a worked over Sense 3.5? Give it all the love that The Team With No Name gives all their roms so you have the smoothest and fastest that can be offered.
So give me your thoughts and lets see what greatness we can come up with.
Peace,
Love, and

As you know brother,things arent like they were 7 months to a year ago when things were hoppin',we only have a handful of people(members,not devs)running around here in the forum and most are little brothers that just got a hand-me-down phone from big brother,we as devs are pushing out the roms thats for sure and from what i hear,the ole OG is getting 70% of the action on XDA as far as rom developing goes,so thats great,but we cant expext a million hits witin a couple days or even months,its just simply dead as far as members go,just sayin'.Everyones upgrading.4 Kornerz Ultimate will be my last rom for the EVO,just going out in style.
I've only been around for a couple of months but i love being able to customize my phone. I stumbled upon this messing around with my old/new hero (running 4.1.2!! used as a droid-pod) and immediately got a evo 4g. I have about 30 nandroids of roms currently running dirty diablo, which rocks. Knowing i have all functions using gb roms, i use jb/ics as dd's and just to show off to my buddies that have s3's. I have downloaded Merge 4 and in the process of wiping now. I appreciate all the hard work "both" of yall do.
which device you headed to next?
I am wanting another cdma htc just not sure which one. Mostly depends on price of used one with bad esn and development.
As far as hits yes I know there are fewer and fewer users every day but Dirty Diablo has taken off pretty good so far. I have almost 50 dl for the newest upload already compared to the 1 on Merge 4.0. I have to at least get my 4g gingerbread miui out along with the new Jelly MIUI JLM First Edition before I can even think about calling a halt to my evo.
Oh, off subject again but whats going on with the Aamikams 2.1/3.0 i saw? That looks great?

Well thanks glad you like it. It was one of my first roms I flashed back in '11. I was not too bad back then either except all the launcher redraws any time you opened any app or another screen besides the launcher it would redraw. That got old real quick but thankfully you wont have that problem. Plus you should get pretty good battery life with that rom. I was tweaked to give you the best battery life and still be fast as possible.
Diablo since it was brought up what about the other nands you wanted to turn into roms. I should be able to turn around about 2 of those a day now that I got the procedures down. You can go out with both guns blazing! Ultimate 4kornerz and Dirty Diablo are not a bad exit plan either if you want to go out that way.

I see quite a few of the OG peeps in the SG3 forums.
You guys still keep popping out rom after rom for the EVO keeping it alive and going.
So hope you guys make it to my side. Because I would definitely flash one of your roms on my SG.
Keep up the good work bros. :good:
I have been thinking about getting another phone but not sure what I want. Since I use cricket it has to be a cdma phone which makes them cheaper on ebay. Bad ESN good price break for me. Who know where I will end up. I kind of like the hTC phones. Something about the sense launcher just keeps bringing me back. Plus if I get another htc phone I can have another shot and merging the sense launcher into miui. I was very close to having it done on the 3vo and then I broke up with my girlfriend who I had bought it for.
I can't keep up with all the Roms here its great to have so many options unlike some other older devices.

Hey Guys and Gals
So, we all know what the Oppo N3's main feature is, the motorized swivel camera! The high quality optics involved should give great quality snaps, plus with the swivel feature, selfies will never look so good (results may vary with operator:laugh So will this rather niche feature attract anybody? Or is the fear of the mechanism failing more of a concern?
Who's going to be picking up the Oppo N3, and why?

Has it been released yet? Does anybody have info if it will work with tmobile USA and how to get it in the states?
I'm thinking of getting this or the N1. But my main concern is if either of them will work w/ T-Mobile USA
Sent from my ALCATEL ONETOUCH P310A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Very much interested and think available through Oppomart
As someone who has gone back and forth between android and iPhones over the years, although the iPhone 6 Plus has become my go-to phone since its release, I want to pack an Android phone as well as I still miss the sharing between apps that works so much better on Android despite Apple's attempts to catch up. That being said, there is no doubt after having an HTC One and Moto Droid Maxx, that the iPhone 6 Plus still has a better camera than most. That's why this Oppo intrigues me...a chance for a solidly built phone with what SOUNDS like a great or at least intriguing camera. Other intriguing features for me are that it has the option to have two SIM cards (or one SIM and an SD Card if willing to give up the nanoSIM slot) and the rapid charge to 75% in 30 minutes. My hold off is knowing whether it will work on Verizon in the US...it LOOKS like it has the right bands for that but I've noticed other world unlocked phones that can't do both voice and data.
So, my decision is down to this Oppo N3 or seeing if the Nexus 6 in 64Gb ever appears again in the Google Play store for the pure Google experience...though not sure how key that is given that we can custom ROM almost any phone.
Anyone else thinking of the Oppo N3?
Got one in China. Camera is pretty good at the first glance. 2 SIM-Cards. ColorOS working pretty fast and smooth. But no Google Apps in Chinese verison, and only Chinese and English languages. Many preinstalled apps chinese only. Good grip. Speakers are loud enough. 39k+ points in AnTuTu.
But can Google Play services be installed?
Are you able to install Google Play services and then install all your Google apps? Or is Color like Amazon's Fire OS and a closed system?

I can install Google Play .apk but it doesn't start. And I can't flash GApps because there is currently no custom recovery for N3. But I don't have much understanding of flashing so maybe I'm doing something wrong. People was able to flash it on N1 with ColorOS, so I am just waiting for international ROM or custom recovery or cyanogen mod to do it.
Thinking that it's a North American version that is shipping now
Perhaps it's a different ROM shipping with this to North America and maybe it's Play Services compatible? You said you bought yours in China? Hoping someone else might know the answer but might need to post in a different thread since this one is just an "are you buying this or not" thread and not a technical one.

It must be Chinese variant only, because they have their own apps market. I just bought it because it was cheap and available.
Sorry, I don't know if this is correct thread to post it, just want to share my photo impressions. I did a comparison between Oppo N3 and LG G2 cameras. Overall I think N3 is a somewhat better camera. Here is one pair of photo in low-light conditions.
LG G2
Oppo N3
Definitely interested in getting this phone as soon as it becomes available to the UK, need something to replace my aging Droid 4. Things that attracted me:
The camera, obviously:
The dual-SIM feature, meaning I can stop using the bloody awful Blackberry Curve that work gave me, a phone so terrible I'd rather have a Nokia dumbphone from the 90s.
Concerns I have:
The comments in this thread about no GApps - though I'm guessing this is for the Chinese version due to local app stores, government censorship etc.
Will they do it in any colours other than white, or do I have to paint it? (I hate white phones)
Will a "selfie phone" attract many developers and get root and decent ROMs
Lollipop upgrade?
Availability of accessories - I really need a keyboard slider case.
And I still hope for an official CyanogenMod release like with N1.
There is a new review http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Oppo-N3-review_id3883 and they have Google Play on their phone.
Now showing on the European site but still no release date or pre-order
Price is €549 which works out at about £430.

General rule is if it looks too good to be true, it probably is, though I'm still curious.
Only way this is likely to be real is if it were a secondhand Chinese model that someone doesn't want. That would mean no GApps until the International ROM turns up.
I believe the N3 is easy to root (literally just flash SuperSU.zip with ADB) so you could sideload all your other apps, but not aware of anyone getting GApps to work yet (so no Maps, GMail, Play Store, Calendar etc.)
I still remain doubtful of Oppo and OPO. I had gotten the OPO a few months after its release but the touch screen issues threw me off. I know its unfair to judge Oppo by the same standards, but I doubt they could implement the quality of the Apples, Samsungs, HTCs and LGs of today. But this on Cyanogenmod would def look appealing.

Root process was a little different, but I flashed GApps too on my Chinesse N3. It's working.
Pre-order page is now up, supposedly shipping mid-January. £5 says it won't arrive at mine until the week I'm away on a business trip.

I have a feeling that I will be visiting Google Translate a lot in the few weeks after this phone arrives. If no-one has already done so by then I'll be sure to post English instructions in here once I get it working.
