[Q/A][06-09-12]General Chat, All XDA Members Welcome !!

I post this new thread,
to make it way easier to ask your questions here !
Instead of making new threads etc, that goes sometimes whole offtopic, and it doesnt the right subject anymore, like you make a new thread to solve something and then someone knows the answer, but then the most of the peeps, ask in the thread what he created a new question so in my opinion is it kinda useless and its going nowhere, so you can every question you need asking here
Enjoy !!​

Great idea. :good:

I flashed stock kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793
with flashtool using fastboot mode.
It loaded and its working fine expect for WIFI is not working. It's showing that it's turning on(greyed out button), i reboted my phone and it's still showing it's turning on. I also flashed MooDeD camera, but i dont think that is the problem.
Any solution, wifi modules for stock... ?
P.S. I didnt wiped anything i just flashed new kernel...
EDIT: Problem fixed. I had ArcKnight Wifi modules on stock kernel. Solution is to flash stock modules

BTW Is there a solution for LED that will work on Arconium .431 ?

1) If i flash stock .587 firmware using flashtool, what data will be wiped from my phone?
2) Does it include kernel
3) Will i still have walkman app, MooDed camera and Notification toggle icons?

Nice thread

arc S Jelly Sandwish stock mail app
Noob, first post, yes I've seen the video, yes I've used the search tool.
Now my question, concerning this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993&page=205
Does the defaul/stock mail app works? I.E. can you refresh the combined inbox?
I'm asking this because a few weeks ago I installed the official 4.0.4, build 4.1.B.0.431, ICS (yes, its the latest Sony is officially providing me to this day) and I had to go back to Gingerbread because I couldn't refresh the combined mail box.
There just wasn't an option to do so, and since on that thread people are complaining about the WCDMA/GSM network bug and they are being told thats an inherited problem from the official ICS I'm wondering if the email suffered the same fate.
And I'm asking here because as a new user I cannot ask directly on that thread and this was the 2nd best place I found, I do apologize in advance if there is a better thread to ask this particular question.

Sooooo, no news yet on my question? ^^^^^^^^
Yikes, well, I guess i can keep posting to get to 10 posts then ask on the other thread.

my arc keep sending message by itself when it reboot.. any solutions?

Flash original .587 kernel with flashtoo, the way i think. I face that things like you. At that time, I simply flash stock kernel with flashtool.

Still needing help with, my original question, does the jelly sandwish have the same problem on the stock email application as the official ICS?
I.e. combined inbox refresh?

Could somebody the post thread link of the tutorial to enable init.d tweaks on locked bl? PLEASE!!!
EDIT:
Have found it, was searching in wrong forum, excuse my laziness!

hi
regarding to the wipe and tick wipe i have probelm
why the options of the wipe are not appear in my PC
i tried to install the flash tool on another PC but i didn't get any thing still no option .
please your advice

There are a few things that bug me after installing CM10 FXP204 on my LT15i.
I don't know if this causes problems if not then I don't really care; My phone status tells me now I'm using an Arc S, (play store tells me I'm using O2 SEMC Xperia Arc S. as well).
Equalizers ain't working. The N7 player doesn't save the equalizer settings, but bass boost works. (Equalizer too as long as I don't leave the menu)
DSP Manager doesn't work at all it seems. I played around with all the settings but couldn't hear any difference.
Also, how do I remove accounts from sync using the HD 2.0.3Rom +mod?

Stock android gingerbread

Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is the right place to make this but I will try. So I'm looking for a theme or ROM that looks like the stock android gingerbread. I currently have NTX ROM it's working very well but I'm kinda bored of if it and I would try something new. I tryed to search here and found some things but they don't work ( GingerCOLORS is only for Verizon-2.3.3-R800x) but I have R800i so not too much luck.. I know there are many launchers but those aren't really stock many part's still look like NTX ROM. So I'm asking you guys do you know of any stock android gingerbread ROM ?

Sony Xperia SL ROMS?

Are there any Sony Xperia SL roms? Because all the ROMS available on XDA are for the Xperia S. Would Xperia S ROMS work on the Xperia SL? If so which problems would i face?

i have one, from my SL buy in Philippin, but it's 6.1.A.2.45.
Another newest firmware is 6.1.A.2.50 link below
Code:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?u6h448v3p91iovv"]http://www.mediafire.com/?u6h448v3p91iovv[/URL]
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?s2s1rg30uinbuuj"]http://www.mediafire.com/?s2s1rg30uinbuuj[/URL]

I believe an SL is the same just the processor is turned up to 1.7 so S roms should work as far as I've read. (no guarantee tho)
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S

I just recently flashed my SL with a FXP CM10 rom, by following all the steps for S, and so far I have no problems. Except I made a big mistake by not backing up my rom first (silly me). If you want to flash any Xperia S roms, I suggest you backup the stock rom first and also the build.prop. Cause once you flash to S roms, the device will be recognized as Xperia S and having a backed up build.prop would come in handy as reference. Another downside is that the CPU will be underclocked to 1.5GHz, but can be easily changed to 1.674MHz through an app or if your rom can change the CPU settings.
Just to warn you, there aren't a lot of options out there if you want to go back to stock since most are for Xperia S.

Nova kernel will clock it back to 1.7 and you can edit the build.prop for device id

Questions about installing
Hi everybody,
I am planning to replace the stock rom on my sister's xperia sl with a Cm10 rom.
Before I would do something, I would like to ask some questions.
How can I make a backup of the current kernel? I(Just in case I would like to go back to stock rom)
Is it true if I flash the boot.img file with the fastboot, I will get another kernel installed together with clockworkmod recovery?
If I don't make a backup of the current kernel, just do a backup with cwm, is it possible to simply restore my cwm backup in the future if necessary?
Can I download a stock kernel from anywhere If making a backup of it is not possible?
I have just a little experience with cwm, I did a few months ago a custom rom installation on zte blade, but there everything was easy, because I could install it with the rom manager application.
I would be very grateful if you could send me a link in email or private message to the latest cm and gapps build for xperia s.
I am visually impaired, so I use a screenreader software to browse webpages. With this program, navigating through the cm page is difficult for me, because there aren't exact headings, and tables which I could use to understand the structure of the items on that website. I met the same situation at another page, where I donwloaded the wrong file because of the lack of accessible structure. At that time I didn't have problem, but I would like to prevent dowloading an incompatible rom for my xperia.
Where do I have to put the build.prop file linked here in this topic? Do I have to place it in the zip file of the rom?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Sorry for my beginner questions and not perfect English.
Cheers,
Istvan

[Q] Help me out with my Xperia Arc :/

Hey, i want to root, flash a custom kernel and install a custom rom on my Xperia Arc. So far i have only unlocked the bootloader. Can someone refer me to threads of where i can proceed with root, flash a custom kernel and install a custom rom, that would be so great. I get so confused with all these threads and instructions.
Also if someone out here with a Arc / Arc S could give me some advice of good kernels and roms for my device that would also be great. Thanks.

You should try the ROM and kernel combinations yourself. Go to the development section, read a few of the ROM threads and try them out. Since everyone has different requirements for the ROM, there is no 'best ROM' out there that everyone can agree on.
If you're not sure about the instructions here, search on Google instead. They should have newbie guides there.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた

You do not need root to install custom firmware. Just flash the appropriate kernel for your rom then boot into cwm and flash rom.

Just get out. People who ask questions in General section should be instantly banned, that kind of retarded behavior creates chaos and it's a cancer of xda forums. Actual answer: read sticky threads, you will find there everything you need and if you have problems with following guides then there is no hope for you just buy an iphone.

Just get out. People who replies with these kind of answers in a thread about a guy who simply wants someone to refer him to a simple recommended root, kernel flash and custom rom guide, should be instantly banned. Look at the other two answers and maybe you have somewhat of an idea of how to send a reply with a proper answer. What's so wrong about posting this in a General section about Xperia Arc? Please refer me to the rules regarding that, if so, then i have clearly missed something.
Well i can't really blame you, i guess it's that time of the month, right?

Hi bro !
- First, give your phone a good full charge and let's go !
- If your bootloader is unlocked flash Lupus v16, you'll find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867265
In this kernel, CWM is included.
- Then download an ICS ROM (ICS needed with this kernel). There is a huge number of ROM on DEV section, just download the one you prefer ! (Personally, I recommend you jader13254's one :angel: --> look at my signature :good: You'll find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207)
- Put the zip on your SD card and boot into CWM (by pressing VOL DOWN during boot)
- Do full wipes (data + factory reset + format /system + battery stats)
- Install the ROM (install zip --> Choose from SD card --> ROM.zip)
- Reboot twice !
And enjoy your BRAND NEW PHONE !!!
Hope I helped you !

Stock ICS was so laggy, i couldn't stand it anymore. Now it feels like a whole new phone, love it But which ROM would you personally recommend between Viper and Ultimate HD? I've tested them both and it's very hard to pick one :/

Up to you, if my memory is correct viper is more customisable, uhd gives better performance ( subjective) but theyre both great.
And btw, yeah these threads go in Q&A, not the general section...

Everything. What's the point in having a separate sections for different kinds of threads when people just don't give a **** about this? When I want to help people I go to Q&A and when I need a custom kernel I go to Development section, this feels logical. People who can't keep their posts in the right place create a mess which is frustrating and gives moderators extra work. If you keep your milk in a drawer and bread in a refrigerator then good luck with your life.

I see your point, well excuse me then. Honestly i didn't even see that section, even though it's right below General. I just registered and was in a hurry and I just picked the a section that made most sense to post in apart from Q&A. On top of that, i'm new here as well, i dont know my way around yet, of what's allowed and what's not allowed apart from the rules. But that's probably not an excuse here. Actually, sometimes i keep both in the refrigerator and my life is going pretty well.

Is just fine, no lags and the bug of random reboots have been fixed (Tested on my friend's Arc) It's much better if you'll partitioned your SD card and have a Link2SD on it
-EDIT-
ICS and JB 4.1 is ALOT stable than the JB 4.2 right now cause some parts of camera is not partially working correctly in 4.2 (Sorry I forgot to told u bout that)

Stable enough for daily use but I think FM Radio is still not working there (Correct me if I'm wrong, not sure about it)

I have 2 questions. Please answer fast ;)

Hi guys!
i need your help so i hope i get fast answer! i have no bootloader unlock and i CANNOT unlock it
first:
i have problems with my flashtool. it says all the time no driver installed but i installed them :/
so i reinstalled the flashtool and the driver lots of times but dont work.
how can i enable this drivers?? because i want to install a gb rom and i cannot install gb firmware..
then please give me the link for the gb firmware
second:
my tablet felt down and dont work anymore, but i want to play mc4 anyway on my phone and want to record my display while playing. so whats the fastest rom on gingerbread or ice cream sandwich??? i think its an gingerbread rom.. btw i need for gaming.
thanks to you guys
i hope for fast answer

For the first thing, try installing GordonGate drivers (I think I spelled that right). That did it for me.
For the second thing, well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's possible. Playing a game and recording the screen at the same time takes a lot of resources (RAM, CPU). And Arc doesn't excell at either. But like I said, anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.

ok thanks anyway..
im using the xperia arc s..
and i think it is possible to record without laggs if you clear cache all the time and use a rom without many standart apps.
maybe it isnt possible but i think so

First answer:
Check flashtool installation, what version of Windows are you running? Please search for a ROM link instead as there are plenty of them here.
Second answer:
For gaming, use a GB ROM. Since bootloader cannot be unlocked, you're stuck with stock ROM for the time being.
Don't even ask for fastest ROM. It's against the rules. Try the ROM out yourself and see if it suits you best. If you continue this line of questioning I shall ask a mod to close your thread.

ok thanks
im running windows xp
32-bit version
yeah and i was searching in flashtool folder but didnt work..
ok ill try some roms like x gamer or x stronger..

Did you try downloading Gordon Gate drivers? I had all the drivers from Flashtool installed, but the computer still couldn't recognize my phone (I believe it was the case with Arc, not Z). I spent hours of digging through various forums until I stumbled upon Gordon's Gate drivers. Installed, and everything's been working fine since then.
