Thanks to my good friend DooMLoRD for this breakthrough, Bin4ry & Androxyde for developing and maintaining FlashTool, the ability to drop from the desktop into Recovery on the X10 is now just a widget download away.
The original thread has since evolved and is worth looking at to understand the concepts, some history and challenges faced with thanks to all the XDA developers and forum members who have given help and time, in making this possible. This evolution, would not be at all possible without the DooMLoRD and his work and efforts and contributions for Xperia owners has made many owners very happy, the [Universal] for ALL ROMs / ALL Xperia Android devices with any Recovery is where it all began and now, the ever popular app by Koush application Rom Manager , available for the Sony Ericsson Xperia.
Requirements:
Any of the following supported devices
Phone needs to be rooted with Busybox installed
Any Working Version of Recovery
Supported Devices:
Xperia X10
Xperia X8
Xperia X10 Mini
Xperia X10 Mini Pro
How-To:
1: Download the update.zip (its flashable via recovery) and save on sdcard
2: Reboot into recovery and flash the update.zip
3: Reboot phone
The app is a widget and does not have a App Drawer icon yet! (coming soon), once u enter home screen long press on blank area to add widget (this requires 1x2 icon space).
1: Locate "Xperia Reboot Options" and select it
2: Click on the app icon (X) to lauch widget/app
3: Select what reboot option u want
Click Process
Allow superuser prompt for permissions... click "Allow"...
DONE!!!

hi zoz33,
i dont know if MrHassel updated the sources after our discussions but basically we are trying to implement SED commands based on v3 (reboot_into_rec_univ_xperia_v3.zip) of add-on_installer.sh script from here... in java..
may be he will upload the latest files in a few hours...
Zoz33 sorry for delay response, Australian time zones.. Had to undo something yesterday, working at cross purposes on mount points and ended up with a buffer problem. Using Apache Commons isn't working nice due to fifo..
Stream EDit (sed) is much better way as DooMLoRD said. So I will be modifying and reissue sources now.

do I still need to edit the scripts before installing the widget?
or
just the widget only?
thanks.
great work guys
Nice.
What exactly do you want graphics-wise?
*when complete* provides alternative to scripts
@junixquiaoit good question. This app is not ready for release, it is still being developed. The reason I posted to the developer forum is that I have put this together based on DooMLoRD's scripts, with his assistance and guidance.
Mr Clown relocated rightly, as this is an APP but still in development and not ready for public testing just yet - this maybe causing some.. you have my apologies.
For now perhaps it is best to stick with scripts. When ready the widget / app could potentially replace scripts, although both will be maintained by DooMLoRD and myself.
I will continue to provide assistance and support for as long as I am able, life hopefully

Hi Aydee Great to hear from you, presently it has one single Transparent PNG, 72 x 72 px - created in Adobe Illustrator CS5, no filters or effects, attached at the top of this thread.
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html
Ideally it should continue to have a 72x72px graphic, for the App drawer and a very small icon for the Widget selection panel and desktop.. HOWEVER what would be really nice imho is to have a few options, one as a spanning 4 column 2 row desktop widget, which can display important state of chargemon (modified / stock), recovery version (ie; xRecovery 0.3 / 0.2 etc..), root active, uptime or some system info..
Best Regards,
MH

Your post will be Ignored because you failed to read & understand any of the posts!!!
P.S
ONLY for Developers!
you know what...
I guess a development thread (hosted with official open source hosting) isn't a development related?
As it turns out neither was the development of Zdzihu's kernel, that he released on April 1.
All I've done amounts to nothing. Just create an open source development project at SourceFoge, prepared a guide for zoz33 (with a lot of redundant java code, which is obviously just an APP or theme or something)... the fact you can't install it means nothing I guess.
@Mr Clown - as this is apparently no longer an active development and isn't any longer a part of the development thread. Why not just remove it altogether?
It's never going to get released when it's sitting in an App or Theme thread, without any input from developers.. so just delete this ok?
I'll do the same with my XDA account and everyone can just be happy.
Cheers.

Devs required
@ALL
this work will be really helpful to the Xperia community as it is laying a foundation for anyone to use this platform to create his/her own apps... we are already sharing the code with the community @ http://xcharge.sf.net and would really appreciate many more devs to help out with various aspects of this project...
firstly i want to make a few things very clear... this is a purely development thread where-in all parts of the app have not yet been finalized and work is still goin on in its development...
all the files for this are openly available at SourceForge http://xcharge.sf.net
@MODERATORS
i request you to please move this thread to X10 Development Section so that the intended audience (developers & designers) can see it and help us out...
we need help from devs/designers to create graphics for this application/widget...
we need help from devs for improving on the programming parts and also on creating newer apps/widgets based on this...
we have a few ideas for additional apps/widgets based on this:
FreeXperia Recovery installer - currently it comes preinstalled on CM7 roms by jerpelea & also can be installed thru flashtool v0.2.8 and above, but doesnt have a installer like xrecovery had
Battery/Performance tweak toggle app - like the tweaks mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005027
Custom kernel selection on reboot menu - now that the bootloader has been bypassed newer custom kernels will be released... wouldnt it be great to have an app to select which custom kernel u want to reboot into? we can have overclock/undervolt/etc kernels...
Multi-boot menu - slightly far fetched and will need help from the devs who create the ROMs
Having this in apps & themes, is like having a car frame, a few boxes of nuts & bolts, 4 wheels and a horn.. then saying "let's go for a drive!".
That is obviously how some people roll.. so anyway.. since mostly all thread's are getting hijacked, you're going to see less postings from me. If any - thanks to J.Anderson this place is like a ghost town and the moderator's have become annoyed so much, they don't want to see new development projects, just finnished results. Fair enough..
You can't install this. It is not an app. Where it belongs is a different forum, maybe even a different website.
For anyone interested in the current state. Finnish widget and will post back when tests complete.

Thanks for this FAQ! Good work! :good:
New to Tab and I've been reading the forums to learn the process on this thing. Completely different than my phone. So here are the things I've got as questions and have been trying to get straight in the notes I'm compiling for myself... maybe they are topics/questions that you can address in the FAQ if you feel they might be helpful to others.
1. What is a general overview of the process for the Tab? For my phone it's straightforward to me, but to newcomers it's confusing, and now the tables have turned for me.
What I've gotten so far:
- Root using Odin
- Flash CWM
- Flash ROMs using CWM, and that from this point on Odin is not necessary???
2. What is Odin? Some sort of tool... what are the reasons one uses it? What is the difference between Odin and Mobile Odin - I think I read that Mobile Odin doesn't increase your flash counter?
3. How does this flash counter work, where is it? How many, if any, times can you flash a custom ROM according to Samsung? What is "bin"? Does Triangle Away remove all traces of custom flashing?
Link I found on Triangle Away: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
4. How does one return to stock for warranty purposes? Will there be signs of having rooted the Tab?
5. What is Kies, what is it for?
Here's a link I came across for info on Download Mode: http://forum.jakar.co/android-hack/1341265231/
That's what I got so far.
Is there any tweaks for camera to record at 60fps 720p?
Thanks for your time

I would flash TWRP if I was you, it's much better in comparison to CWM (says me who is still running CWM on my Tab lol. I have TWRP on my HTC One V though and it's great). I am not that clued up on Odin but to meit seems like just a graphical user interface for using ADB and android SDK to flash instead of using console commands. You do not need to worry much about the process Galaxy Tab 2 is virtually un-brickable.
Tab 2 Question
I am looking into purchasing a 10.1 Tab 2 right now assuming it has the one piece of functionality I'm looking for. The model I have available to me is SGH-I497. However, I can't seem to find a definitive yes or no as to whether the device is capable of voice calls via the GSM radio. I understand that there are a lot of VOIP alternatives but I am specifically looking for GSM based calls. Anyone have any ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE yes or no answer to this?
---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
After a fairly extensive search of the forums, I have found that it appears that this model does not support the feature set that I am looking for. As a result, I'll pass on the buy.
no tab 2 camera is a very bad hardware so no software can pimp it but u can try some camera apps from googleplay store these add effects to camera that make it look less *****y

so i updated my tab p3100 as per screenshot... evrything was quiet smooth maybe will lagg after a while..i dont plan to root this coz it my fiance who uses this tab... so i dont want her to ask 100000000x question...
so she was chatting wiht wechat app.. trying many times to make video call and it wont conncet to my note or any other fone
the only thing the app tells is"could not make video call, the fone is not using wlan" as we're using "prepaid data"
what is WLAN and why does it affect video calls?
is there any solution to enable video calls or WLAN
i am pretty confuse about this tab rather than my note..
or does it obvously tell that i need to root+cwm+mod my tab then i can get video calls
of course signal is weak as maybe it still building cache or what not..
hoping this silly q wuold have solution...

WLAN stands for wireless lan and probably the app you are talking about prevents you from using your data plan for video calls

Yes, you're right. Multiuser support is what you're talking about, and it is available from android version 4.2.2 and above. It is enabled on tablets by default. For phones, you would need to flash custom ROMs that have multiuser support. If you're not on 4.2.2+, then you could try the SwitchMe app on the Playstore instead (requires root).

Since I do not know much about your device, you should probably ask this question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2100
You're bound to get a better answer that way!
P.S. When you ask in that forum, avoid using words like 'best rom' or 'stable rom'.
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.

It would not be possible for me to answer every question individually. Thus I am including some members which I have seen been working hard for Xperia L community and thus i think we would work as a team.
If you think your name deserves to be here, please PM me and I will personally see how well you are doing here. As a simple rule, please do not PM before you have answered at least 100 questions in this thread or you have been answering in Xperia L thread constantly.
NICE that you do that i just have 2 requests:
Edit: done. Thank you

Nice idea. Although I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help much. I've been getting busier and busier lol.
Btw @Joery360 was a good guy who contributed a lot of time here. I just don't know if he uses this device anymore.

Can you list them to me before I can post them somewhere?
Also can everyone of you can rate this 5 star so we can pin this post ?

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,
Pranav

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.

I've been using UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip since cm12 and have had no issues. I did have problems with another version (i can't remember which, unfortunately). [emoji4]

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?

You can get the latest SuperSU flashable zip here
ZIP is flashable in CWM, TWRP & Philz Touch
Strange enough. After I put this guide up, there has been less questions in the forum. Guide working ? What do you reckon
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?

Hi devs,
I need email with exchange security disabled
As far as I have looked for, there is no available solution: Wanam module requires xposed, which is not yet available for our S6 64 bits architecture, Alliance fwk announces the feature but it is not active,
So I decided to implement the solution based on the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/guide-add-toggle-to-bypass-email-t3129898
I can't get the app working on the phone (it crashes). I suspect that zipalign is doing 32 bits alignment whereas the S6 is 64 bits. I found no indications on Android dev site...
So can anyone help me to get S6 app recompiled and working correctly on the device.
I know that exchange security bypass is an expected feature, so I would try helping to get it quickly

Thanks for having done it! But the tutorial does not describe how to compile/decompile. I used apktool to do it but the app was crashing on my phone. So I am curious to know the procedure to be able to do it my self
