[dev] Android app

So m coming up with this new app for android, currently making build#1.
Its a root acess app , which will be like one in everything,
u can change ur frequency, voltage, swappiness and numerous other kernel tweaks can be done directly from the app, its but obvious that it will be kernel specific,
Currently m optimizing for Adi_Pat's SL Kernel,(Titanium works)
I can do this for any kernel , in case u need the source or want me to optimize for ur kernel , then feel free to ask me,
I have started this app from scratch and built everything on my own
Attatched are some screen shots of the pre alpha build of the SL one
Of course the app will have much better UI later , currently am just working on the functions and other kernel tweaks
#cheers
PN :- if u have any suggesstion for kernel tweak or any question feel free to ask.
Once the proper app is ready ill start a complete new thread with channel log and stuff

[Q] Everything Android

Hello everyone,
I'm here asking help from all Devz that i wanna study Android right from the start.

I knew nothing about android a year ago. after I bought my canvas 2. I googled how to install apks, how to get paidd apks for frree etc. then I searched how to modify my android phone. I learnt how to root, take backup, install recovery, flash ROM, about xposed framework etc. it will take some time to understand the terms. then it will be as easy as abc for you.

[FAQ][HELP THREAD][GUIDES LIST] Ask Any Question for Xperia L

Hello Everyone.
Good News for everyone. I have decided to maintain a help thread at Xperia L community in order to keep the threads for development/general section more clean and better organised. I have been noticing for a long time that whenever new users join, they still are not sure about the rules and thus mistakenly post in the wrong sections too often. If any senior member points it out to them, mostly it is either ignored or taken personally. Thus I have decided a combined help section would be very helpful to the community and the questions which are sometimes left unanswered and lost in question answer forums, that would not happen again for all of you.
I would be personally answering all your questions and shall refer you to someone in case I feel someone else would be able to answer the same question in a more detailed way. Other users can feel free to answer as well if you think you can tackle the situation well and make sure while answering any question, you provide enough information to the users as well. You can easily link the users to posts if you think a question has been already answered.
REASONS I AM MAKING THIS
Lots of repetitive questions.
Same things told again and again
Threads remain clean
A simple reference to every important thread that you should visit in case you have a problem
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Read the rules here XDA RULES BEFORE YOU POST
Idea of this thread is to help and to be helped. So ask any question you have in mind related to Xperia L, Android, or anything at all as long as it is related to Xperia L directly or indirectly.
Make sure you are precise with your information
Be Detailed
Do not repeat the same thing again and again
Use search button to find if your question has been asked before. Do not repeat your question if it is answered before.
WHAT INFORMATION YOU MUST PROVIDE
1.Your bootloader status
2. Rom name with complete baseband/date/version
3. Kernel name
4. Any Mods you are using
5.If you are using Custom Rom, your flashing style i.e dirty/clean or you wiped anything else in specific
6. If you used any guide, link to the guide
7. Root status
8. Your exact problem
9. Any method you tried that failed
10.Any other detail you think would be necessary
Make sure you provide as much details as possible. Things like my phone won't turn on please help would not be of any help to you or to the person answering. So please make sure you provide as much detail so we know exactly what is your problem and thus guide you in the right direction.
A sample would be something like this
Device: c2105
ROM name: CM 12 dated 10th May
ROM version and base: 3.99-RC2
Build number: CM_taoshan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G
kernel version and its settings: 3.4.0-thunderzap.kernel.plus [email protected] #193
Rooted
Sabertooth Mod
I can not use my WIFI. Although i tried flashing Wifi modules but it does not work.
I flashed CM over 1.5.2A.0.17 Stock
ETC

Please remember "Give respect to others, others will respect you back!" in simple words, No abuse towards newbies/noobs will be tolerated here! So anyone found doing that would be reported.
Another important thing is MAKE SURE YOU THANK THE PERSON who helps you. This is to show your appreciation to someone who personally took his time to answer your question. He had been nice enough to do it for FREE and nothing else. A simple thank you to his post will go a long way. The questions would be answered more and the one who is answering would be happy to answer more questions. So it is a gain gain situation for all of you. Read my signature because most people take help for granted here. So be kind to others and HIT THANKS BUTTON A LOT.

Hey, guys! Hope you're having a nice day! I'll cut to the chase now...
Now, I wanna downgrade my Xperia L from android version 4.2.2 to version 4.1.2. I know there already are quite a few threads on this topic but, I am completely new to all of this. I've tried following those and many other threads but have not been able to accomplish anything so far. Ha! I don't even what some of the terms mean.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Is there any Lollipop ROM which is (relatively) stable and bugfree? I have CM12.1 and am not really satisfied (after all it's only beta 2)
It doesn't have to have plenty of functionality (but would be nice if it really had some)

Although everyone likes to have their own customisation in a ROM and what features they are looking for, it is very hard to pin point which would suit you best. For now , the best thing you can do is test few roms like Resurrection Remix, PACMAN etc and see what suits you best.
As far as your stablility issues are concern, the BSOD is major problem in 12.1. I suggest you go back to CM12 nightlies from official website.

next request: remove this repartitioning guide! its the best methode to hardbrick your device...

There is a similair thread at the Galaxy Tab 2 forum. It might be best to ask a mod to pin this.
And @Joel16, I still have the device in my possession. (It's eating dust in my drawer) I'll check here regularly to help users if needed.
Cheers.

@SdtBarbarossa you could also add flashing supersu zip for #2. Your method is easier, of course, but personally i run to some issues with cm's default (ie titanium backup seems to prefer supersu). Not sure if it's just me though.

xperia l
've unlocked bootloader by following the instructions provided on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and the fastboot tool sad "OKAY". Now when I try to turn it on again, I see SONY and then XPERIA logo, and then Xperia colour animation on the screen. It's been like that for more than an hour, and to turn it off I needed to pull out the battery. PC companion doesn't recognize it . I've tried holding the volume up button while starting up (the logos) and holding down both volume buttons and nothing happened.
Is there any way to fix this?

After Xperia L
First of all thank you for this useful thread.
My question :
Why is Sony Xperia L lucky for custom ROMs, Kernels etc. I know that Soc (Snapdragon) has major requirement for this kinds of staff. However, I think, Xperia L has also something different and Which Sony Smart Phone are you suggest to buy after sony Xperia L supported like this?

[Q] Android M and Xposed.

I have the preview build that I put on using the .zip, I then rooted the phone. But there are things I want to change of course. So I was wondering does Xposed work on M? If so what do I need to do to get it on there?

Dude.. Xposed isn't even working 100% on lollipop. Either help the project or be patient and wait like most of us around here.
Goddamn spoonfeeding has to stop, opening a thread for this wasn't necessary, since there is a general thread for Xposed right here on XDA. You would have found your answer there.

Little bit harsh, but I have to agree.
Android M is TOO early to be worked on, it's just a preview. Once again, I want to put my point that this release SHOULD NOT be a daily driver.
Xposed, in other hand is still in a beta / alpha state. You do not want to expect it to work on M while on Lollipop it barely works (I mean, Xposed developers are using temporary fixes to work around some issues)
Please, in all regards, be patient ! I'm sure it won't be long until M becomes a fully mature system images and we can all develop for it.

Let's try not to get too worked up about things guys. There is little information about M on the Xposed thread, and the user would, sadly, had he written such a question there, be attacked by angry members writing "Don't ask for ETAs!"
The truth is that while there hasn't been any work to port Xposed to M, the zip from 5.1.1 COULD work. So far, no one's tried it. There haven't been any changes that could totally prevent Xposed from working. That being said, due to Xposed's hack-filled nature, there is little to no chance of the phone even booting after the zip is installed, let alone after modules are installed.

Im actually shocked there hasnt been a few mods made for m yet. I mean we have custom kernels. Id agree xposed wont happen for awhile but a few simple mods would be appreciated.

You can try long press on the settings icon in the notifications area (it is an hiden option like developer hiden option) so you will have some options to modify the ui.

Cleaned the thread. Let's not be rude to each other.
It's fine if you want to talk about Xposed, M and the N5 but keep it constructive.
Please keep in mind that Marshmallow isn't even officially released and Xposed (though very functional) is still in development and even alpha on 5.1.1 so constructive discussion would actually be limited.
Let's not just speculate about it.
Thanks!

Is "Superuser mode" available for 5.1.1 (546) ?

I'm talking about a patched/modified services.jar that disables signature verification; so you can use older/newer/exclusive apps from other devices...Is it available for the Z3 series?
I'm desperate. 5 days have been since the Z3 series started receiving 5.1 and the Z2 is still waiting! I've been reading in some posts that the live wallpaper and themes from the Z3+ are not working in 5.1 but nobody tells exactly what is the problem.
Since the Z2 may receive almost the same 546 build numer, I modified a services.jar following step by step THIS TUTORIAL
If somebody knows how to use it, and how to recover from a bootloop feel free to try: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wr3hrquhictfybv/services.jar
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL BREAK OPENGL ES
If it works and you want to use it on your ROM o other work just give me some credits :silly:
Please understand that I can't do a lot without a device running 5.1, if it doesn't work I will ask a mod to delete/close this thread. Remember that messing around with the framework can lead to a bootloop. If you don't know how to install or how to recover from a bootloop don't try anything! Just wait for a flashable zip.
