There are a lot of people joining XDA on a daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked
which clutter up the Development and 'Q & A' threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions.

The idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. People are usually
ridiculed for asking questions that other people deem stupid even though it may be a legitimate question. This
leads to new users being afraid to ask questions!

Only provide well mannered help towards users in this thread. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in
the direction where that user can find an answer
and educate himself. If you don't want to answer, at least
point out where to find the answer.



Before posting anything, I strongly advise you to read THIS thread.

Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in Post No. 2, you might find what you need right away.

Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please do come back and read threads in Post No. 2
(coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time
and frustration it will save you in the future!



No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! That means:
NO TROLLING
NO NAME CALLING
NO RIDICULING
NO FLAMING


ASK ANY QUESTION HERE! No question is stupid or irrelevant in this thread. You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.


*A Special Thanks to mark manning for his help in creating this thread*

You can try clearing cache & Dalvik. If that doesn't work, just reflash the stock ROM from the same thread.

And please don't type so big. It's unnecessary, and it makes you look bad.

Hi thank you for replying SilentStrider, Now my question may be really stupid but I'm not that experienced in flashing and processes like that which is why I probably shouldn't have done this in the first place. Anyway my questions are

Will a USB jig be better than triangle away or have less chance of bricking my phone and are stock kernels included in device firmware from this site. sammobile.com (No Hyperlink)
Also is there a noob friendly guide on this for me as I just seem to be screwing up everywhere

Im sorry if this is me being stupid or lazy but I just can't seem to find the answers in Google or Xda for my phone (i9100P) but I can find answers for i9100 but not on the kernel situation.

Sorry if there are answers which I have been blind of but I'm on my knees now for my phone to be returned to stock

Edit: Got Firmware from these links (They seem to be identical) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43770938#post43770938 & http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100P

Now I just need to install and use triangle away or USB jig?

There's a heck lot of risk I rooting ur phone itself... !!
So everything you do poses a risk of briking ur phone..
But the steps mentioned by the dev are enough to save u from bricking ur phone..

If its a first time u should first do a read up on the reasons behind each steps so u r sure of what u r doing...

Now on ur question
Its specified about what kernal the rom has..

End of the story..
Dont worry ..!!!!

Happy flashing


If it helped you, press thanks ;)

Cyn: Thank you for the specs for the Medion E4002. I just got mine a few days ago. One thing I noticed is that the Orientation Sensor and the Magnetic field sensor do not seem to work ( no value on CPU-Z app/sensors), even though are both stated in CPU-Z as Yamaha530. Do you know if I have to do something to activate them or definitely are faulty?

Xperia S, protected sd Card

Hi everyone, since i've installed Trinity Vengeance Raptor XL 2.6, my sd card goes to protect mode...so i can't write on it. To prevent this problem, i must "fix permission" on the CWM...
My question is why, i must fix permissions every week ?
Excuse my english...i hope everyone understand the problem.
Thanks for your answers.

You can only do this if your ROM is deodexed.


Ah, sorry. What exactly is Dalvik? Also, I've flashed them both. The kernel and both stock and rooted ROMS.

Dalvik is Android's Java virtual machine. Every app has a Dalvik executable file associated with it. When you start Android, it will detect if there are new apps & create the .dex files for them. If the apps have changed, you should wipe the Dalvik cache to force the OS to rebuild it. This is accomplished through your recovery. Boot to recovery, and wipe the cache, and the Dalvik cache.

Also, ROMs have kernel files in them already. If you flash a stock ROM, for example, there's no need to flash the stock kernel.

Change the keep alive value for a specific app?

I've been having some battery life issues lately. It would appear a possible culprit is IMO Messenger, which is waking up my phone every 2.6 minutes (approximately). Is there any way to increase the interval of this keep alive time to reduce the number of wakelocks? Thanks!
 
Samsung Victory

Have a Samsung ?Galaxy? Victory L300

I was rooted w/custom rom, but an OTA has trashed root (su missing, recovery stock).
I did some searches... can't find forum topic or ROM for "Samsung Victory L300".

Please point me in proper direction. Is there a diff name/number I should search for that is this phone?

Thx, Beach Geek

It's SPH-L300

It doesn't have it's own forum here on XDA, but we do have some threads. There is a whole forum over at androidforums, however:

Thanks, checked out that link and I played around with adv search on here... found info about ROMs.

PS. From now on I'll be more careful letting my g'daughter use phone. (guessing she allowed the OTA update).

thx again.

So what do you recommend I do? Or at least how do I go about this? I have dalvik downloaded but I'm not sure what to do with it. I've cleared my normal cache from the recovery menu, tried installing my rooted rom again and still nothing. Do I have to put dalvik onto a memory stick then install it through there somehow? I mean, the flashes are successful, but it just reboots into recovery mode. . .

FUSE kernel for super jelly bean 4.1.2

hi,
im using a sony xperia ray. i had flashed the super jelly bean 4.1.2 rom by harsh586 which works great. its a lot better than the stock rom and is an update as well, but i wanted to use usb on the go on my device so i got "paragon ntfs+hfs" from google play. but when i ran it it said that i needed a FUSE kernel for running paragon or otg. it said updating my device might solve the problem.

can someone please tell me whats FUSE kernel and how i can get one but still retain the super jelly bean 4.1.2???
