Develop Bugs

[HELP THREAD][XPERIA S, ACRO S & ION]Ask any question. NOOB friendly

There are a lot of current users of the Xperia S/Acro S/ Sola and a lot of new users coming through here aswell. There are also a lot of questions being asked time and time again, aswell as a lot of new users being flamed and/or trolled for asking a simple question. This is filling up our Q&A and Development forums with junk which doesn't need to be there.
Instead, just point them to this thread to get all the help they require, which in turn, lessens the clutter of the forums aswell.
If you're reading this and you're a new user to XDA, I suggest you read the XDA New User Guide by mf2112, as it contains all the information you'll need to have a happy and productive time across the whole of XDA.
And please be sure to read A Note From The Moderators and WHAT BELONGS IN DEVELOPMENT aswell.
Post #2 will include the rules which I'm putting in place for this thread, which I expect you all to abide to.
It may also include an FAQ of questions which get asked fairly often, yet don't have a specific thread to find the answer. (I'm still deciding on this idea yet though). It will also include some important links for you all to check out.
In post #3 you'll find the links to different ROMs and kernels for the Xperia S. Links provided by Felimenta97.
ASK ANY RELATED QUESTION HERE,bootloader, drivers, how to root etc...... You will either get an answer here or will be given the best thread for you to go to so you can get your answer.
Even if you find your answer from one of the links provided, please come back here and look through the other threads, as you may learn something else you didn't know.
No abuse towards noobs or silly questions is tolerated here!
This is a joint project to help us all out. Special thanks to Felimenta97 for being a part of this and providing all the links in post #3.
Special thanks to neectron for also being a part of this thread and helping out those who have questions about the Xperia Sola.
Special thanks to Spectre51 for also being a part of the help available in this thread.
Thanks to all of our developers and people who created those amazing threads to help us out and thanks to everyone who reads this thread
If this post has helped you, please click the "Thanks" button rather than actually saying thanks all the time. It reduces clutter
If there's any links that I missed which you think should be included, please let me know and tell me why you think it should be posted.
I will also be requesting thread maintenance as and when it is needed to remove any SPAM comments etc.

Please make sure you have read the whole of the first post before continuing to read this.
Whilst posting in this thread, please remember that the Forum Rules (post 2) apply as always.
*No calling anyone a noob
*No making fun of someone's genuine question
*No swearing - even using *'s or other symbols is still swearing, so don't do it
*No posting useless comments/off topic comments
*No posts saying "Thanks" (I won't be so harsh if you actually click the "Thanks" button aswell")
If you break these rules, I will contact our FSMs to get the comments removed.
You may think that these rules are a little bit strict, but this thread is aimed at being as useful as possible to all of us, so I'm sure we'd all prefer it if this thread was kept as tidy as possible.

Hi,
The xperia sspeed kernel v6 isn't guaranteed to work on stock ROMs, even though it does work with some.
If you're able to boot into recovery, flash the Advanced Stock ICS Kernel linked in this thread and it should work fine for you.

To use Sony programs again (not including MEDIA GO) you would have to relock your bootloader. But you can download the firmware you want and use Flashtool to flash it on your phone.
I will add later a link to a thread with the stock firmware.

Hi all
I just flashed Advanced Stock Kernel on my Xperia S today, after I had a problem 'cause I flashed DooMKernel over ICS. I was wondering if the advanced stock kernel was pre rooted, 'cause it came with super user installed, but isn't giving root access or super user permission to any apps (including busybox) infact, after I installed busybox, random pop ups kept saying that root access was being denied to various apps. (I had Titanium Backup*Root and busybox installed) I'm really new to all of this, and would appreciate any help at all
Oh and also, Juice Defender detected a root and Apex launcher now allows me to add widgets from the app drawer, which required root access, if I'm not wrong. I'm wondering if I went wrong somewhere..
Thanks again
Oh god, it's all on and off, I don't know what's happening.

I'd suggest installing Root Checker to make sure whether you are intact rooted or not.
If it says you're not rooted, then simply root your device and everything will be fine.
If it says you are rooted, there may possibly be something wrong with permissions.

Yeah, I tried Root Checker and it says that it's not intact. Also, the Apex launcher thing isn't working anymore (Adding widgets from the drawer, which needs root access)
But in Super User it says root permission granted to RootChecker and busybox, but like I said, the logs keep saying denied. So I'm not sure
I'd be really grateful if you can point me in the direction of a way to root my phone. I thought advanced stock kernel is rooted. Should I Flash KA S Speed kernel and flash Stock kernel again? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, this is my first Android...

*MAJOR UPDATE* [KERNEL][ZL] UNOFFICIAL DooMKernel {JB}(v17r1)[20130921]

Since DooMLoRD has stopped the development of his great DooMKernel for the Xperia ZL, and after his permission, I'm proud to announce
UNOFFICIAL DooMKernel for the Xperia ZL​
This is fully based on his original kernel sources at https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_kernel_sony_apq8064
It's also compiled using Google GCC 4.7 Toolchain precompiled from his repo at https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains
So, THANKS AND DONATE TO @DooMLoRD for his awesome job and for letting me build this unofficial release. Please, DO NOT REPORT BUGS IN THIS RELEASE TO DooMLoRD, since this is an UNOFFICIAL and UNSUPPORTED release.
You can follow the original thread for current DooMKernel at the Xperia Z forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172888. There you will find all the features of the current release, and discuss specific issues specific to this kernel.
The releases are for STOCK JELLYBEAN 4.2.2 firmwares. Currently tested only on 10.3.1.A.0.244. Starting on v17r1 onwards, the kernel should work on both 10.3.1.A.0.244 *and* 10.3.1.A.2.67.
Starting on v13r2 onwards, I'm including a custom ramdisk, which is basically Sony's stock ramdisk plus two changes made by DooMLoRD: init.d support and fix for wrong date during boot.
Starting on v17r1 onwards, I'm including DooMKernel's ramdisk with all its goodies, including dual recovery! I had to spend some time adjusting a few things on it, to make it fully work on our ZL (changing some definitions from the Z to the ZL, and changing the event listener to access the recoveries).
Thanks @iridaki for teaching how to work with ramdisks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477845.

>>>>>>>> Download v17r1 for Xperia ZL: ZL-UNOFFICIAL-DooMKernel-v17r1.zip - 14.31 MB (build date Sep-21-2013)

*MAJOR UPDATE* General instructions and recommendations
As with previous releases, to install this kernel simply flash the zipfile in recovery.
MY RELEASE DOES NOT INCLUDE RECOVERY. You can use XZDualRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 from @[NUT].
Starting on v17r1 onwards, the kernel uses DooMKernel's ramdisk adjusted for the ZL, which includes dual recovery! So there's no need to install XZDualRecovery separately if you want, but you can still do so if you want!
I recommend you first BACKUP THE FOLLOWING DIRECTORIES:
Code:
/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima
/system/lib/modules
Because the kernel includes new WLAN firmware and modules, and in case you want to go back to stock kernel, you can just flash the old kernel and restore your backups.

Thanks a lot..

I believe it should work, since for rooting .244 we need to flash the old .423 kernel and then back to .244. Since both are Jelly Bean 4.2.2, there should be no compatibility issues, but test and get back to us if it works.

It's not happening to me. Did you flash the zipfile including the new Wi-Fi module and firmware, or just the boot.img through fastboot? Also, do you have any app that may interfere with the Wi-Fi? Getting a reboot is one thing, but changing the MAC address is VERY strange.

Getting a reboot after switching on WiFi. After phone reboots WiFi works fine without any problems until turned off again. Switching off WiFi doesn't cause any problems only after switching WiFi on phone reboots.
Back to stock kernel - WiFi switches on without reboot.

If you look in z forum you will see there is a problem with the cyanogen WiFi module. In v13 it should be fixed so be patient until dbolivar have time to port v13 to zl.

I've installed the new kernel through my old recovery. And I can't think of an APP which could possibly interfere with WiFi.

One question. What are the most best improvements of this kernel? Much better than stock or only the modules like overclock and undervolt make dooms kernel? Convinced despite lose be engine?

I think there are major improvements over the stock kernel, specially if you use tools like Trickster Mod to adjust settings: more CPU and GPU governors to choose, overclock/underclock for CPU and GPU etc. This can give you better performance and/or better battery life. Check out the original thread at the Xperia Z forum (check OP) for a detailed description of all the improvements.

IT might work, but i suggest you dont do this as it may brick your XAS, but i am unsure
Im unsure about that but you can Ask any kernel dev
Technical Stuff
Well if the Rom Doesnt work then the kernel for your Acro S has to be edited for it to work)
how it boots
Power > Kernel Loads > kernel boots the boot path > ROM Loads
Or something like that (im unsure you will have to Ask Doomlord or ForzaFerrariLeo

It works just fine.

it should work fine because hardware-wise XAS and XS are the same except for the external card
if you wanna learn more ask @deedwar, he first started out porting roms from XS to XAS but now he is building from source.he might have some advice for you

It works. I've done it already. I flashed some other things also but I can't make the sdcard to work.

PREAMBLE
As the title suggests, this is CM10 for locked bootloaders. Since many people doubt this works, I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, whining children whatsoever. I have tested this on my locked Xperia S and it works so good that I decided to use it as a daily driver.
This ROM is for all those who have got tired of Stock-based ROMs!
Oh, and please, do not post feature requests or bug reports here, use DevDB instead, thanks.

Someone with locked bootloader should try, but I think it should work. You need to flash it with Sony apps from somewhere, but all the prerequisites are there. And 12 MP camera and 1080p video recording, should work since this is based on 1.96 firmware, the kernel is the same.

Unfortunately you can't without the custom kernel which requires the bootloader to be unlocked.
Also, tagging the other devs and members for a common question is not a good thing
