I've made this thread to help people who have some problem and make new threads instead of searching the common questions. In my next post I will start posting the FAQ's and since it's not possible for me to be online 24/7 so it may take sometime but i will keep updating it. And if anyone have some doubts feel free to ask. BTW feel free to PM me if you have some ideas or nice questions to improve this thread

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Xperia 2011 MDPI Devices.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: I get bootloop after installing a custom rom. What is the problem?[/SIZE]
A: Have you done everything correctly?
-Firstly post your problem in the ROM thread as the devs there may help you better.
-Check your mobile compatibility with the ROM
-Check if you have installed the correct kernel for your ROM.
-Check whether you have done the correct wipes as mentioned in the ROM thread.
-Some ROMs require formatting system. So if it is mentioned in main ROM thread then you must do it.
-Some releases may require stock rom first before flashing the custom rom. So flash the stock rom and then the custom rom over it.
If nothing works just download the stock ROM for your mobile and flash it using flashtool. This may solve your problem.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: Can you suggest me the best ROM or kernel or something like that for my smartphone cause i'm really lazy to do a bit of searching...?[/SIZE]
A: First go here and beware before asking these type of questions again otherwise you will end up with a bunch of people like me mocking you and nothing else.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: I installed wrong device's ROM for my mobile and now my touch has gone. Please help!
[/SIZE]
A: There are lot of threads on this question. First refer to each one of them and see if it works or see this thread. Most probably your problem might be fixed till now.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: I have rooted my phone successfully, now how can I install CWM (ClockWorkMod) Recovery?[/SIZE]
A: If you have locked bootloader you can simply install CWM using an app called x-parts from Google Play and install recovery from it. And if your bootloader is unlocked you can simply flash a custom kernel with CWM or some other recovery present in it.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: How do I port MIUI or HDPI ROM for our Xperias?[/SIZE]
A: Refer to sandy7's awesome guide which will help you the best way possible.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: I have a problem with this ROM and what should I....[/SIZE]
A: It's a ROM specific question, better post it in the ROM thread. They will help you better.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: My phone can't boot in fastboot mode. Please help me!
[/SIZE]
A: Firstly check that fastboot is enabled on your mobile and the correct procedure to go to fastboot mode is by holding vol-up button and connecting to computer via USB.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: WIFI is not working. What should I do?[/SIZE]
A: See if it is listed as a bug in the specific ROM thread. If not try custom kernels and if you can get correct WIFI modules flash them. If you're lucky WIFI will work.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: How do I install custom rom/kernel on my mobile?[/SIZE]
A: Mihahn has worked really hard on making his guide not because he wants some people asking again and again the same questions instead of using a bit of the "SEARCH" feature.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is the safest way to root my phone or unlock its bootloader?[/SIZE]
A: There no such thing as safest way. If you do everything correctly you will be successful in rooting you phone and unlocking the bootloader.
[SIZE=+1]Q11: How to activate MSC(mass storage mode) on CM10?[/SIZE]
A: Though this question is of a particular rom but still I've listed it here since many people asked this question. Just go here, thanks the person and perform the steps correctly.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: I did an OTA(Over the Air) update after unlocking bootloader. Now my phone is dead, what should I do?[/SIZE]
A: Just go to this thread, thanks the person. Refer to section 6 and download the unbricking package from no.16 of XX.Downloads section, perform the correct steps and most probably your phone will be back to life!
[SIZE=+1]Q13: Unlocking bootloader using TestPoint method is not working for my device. Please help.[/SIZE]
A: For the newly manufactured phone(above 12w11), TestPoint method will not work. You can still use the official method or se bootloader unlocking tool.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: How do I unlock my bootloader if it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed:No?[/SIZE]
A: No one has actually got a 100% working solution since it is because of your simlock, thus you may have to pay for it. You can try WotanServer or Omnius and if you're lucky it will be unlocked and fastboot might be enabled.
[SIZE=+1]Q15: How do I OC(OverClock) or UC(UnderClock) my phone?[/SIZE]
A: If your kernel supports the function and if your ROM has inbuilt option for the fuction then you can do it directly from ROM or else you can buy/download apps like SetCPU for your phone and can use it easily to OC, UC or change governer of your CPU. *Playing with your CPU is at your own risk and if you go anywhere wrong your phone might not be able to recover(permanent brick). So if you are a newbie(noob) just stay away from these things*
[SIZE=+1]Q16: How much OverClocking is advised for my phone?[/SIZE]
A: Though there are some kernels which provide Over Clocking from 1.6-2 GHz(GigaHertz), but still you should not overclock above 1.2-1.4 GHz for daily use or else your CPU might burn, turning your phone into permanent brick. *I personally do not advise overclocking at all so do everything at your own risk.
[SIZE=+1]Q17: How do I partition my sd-card?[/SIZE]
A: Follow this very nice guide given by sayhellotwoheaven. Don't forget to THANK him.
[SIZE=+1]Q18: How does Thanks Meter affect my profile?[/SIZE]
A: Thanks Meter actually is not useful in becoming Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer. It is actually the appreciation you get on you works. Thanks Meter has been made so that members of XDA stop posting just THANKS on threads and thread could be clean and helpful.
[SIZE=+1]Q19: How to be a Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer?[/SIZE]
A: Recognized Contributor is a role intended for members who produce some of the best original and helpful guides for users, as well as helping other users who have problems, in a friendly manner. Recognized Contributors will get a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Contributors, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Themers are those users who work (often tirelessly) on designing new theme graphics and user interface overhauls for ROMs. Users who aspire to be Recognized Themers should be creating original graphics work for their themes being released, demonstrate a commitment to crediting other users’ work when applicable, and seek the relevant permission in advance from the original creator. Recognized Themers will receive a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Themers, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Developer, as the name suggest are those who develop really good ROMs, kernels, etc. Anyone who is skillful and publishes his own creation other that just copying and pasting can be termed as recognized developer.
For more details and how to apply for these posts. See this.
[SIZE=+1]Q20: How to add framework mods like skipping track via volume button, small apps, CRT-off animation, etc.?[/SIZE]
A: See this very beautiful guide by Sandy7 and jader13254 which will help you a lot. Just give them THANKS.
[SIZE=+1]Q21: How to Decompile/Recompile ICS apk files?[/SIZE]
A: Here is a great guide by stanlin salu. Just follow that and you can very easily do it. Just don't forget to give him THANKS.
[SIZE=+1]Q22: What are Governors and I/O Schedulers, etc.?[/SIZE]
A: See this very good guide by zhanjia and anyone can know everything about them.
[SIZE=+1]Q23: My ROM doesn't have x-loud and BE(Bravia Engine). How do I install them?
[/SIZE]
A: Simply download a very nice app know as Pimp My Rom from Google Play and install it and you can get many tweaks and options in that. It also has an option to download BE and x-loud for your ROM if it's compatible.
[SIZE=+1]Q24: Does ChainFire support my phone?[/SIZE]
A: The simple answer is download and use it. But if you are on ICS/JB I would recommend you not to use it as it may most probably result in bootloop. ChainFire is compatible only upto GB.
[SIZE=+1]Q25: Why does my phone say Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No?[/SIZE]
A: It's most probably a simlock. The mobile you bought has a simlock of the particular company whose SIM is being used. Normally the companies used to provide the unlocking code after sometime but now I think it won't be provided from now since simlock unlocking has become illegal. But you can break your simlock through WotanServer, Omnius or some local shops.
[SIZE=+1]Q26: Can you tell me how does thanks meter increases with regard to number of thanks?[/SIZE]
A:No. of Thanks and meter:
0-25

[SIZE=+1]Q27: Aroma installer is half-size in my phone. How to solve this?[/SIZE]
A: Firstly thanks to abcdjdj for letting me know this. Aroma installer is shown in half-screen in all kernels which have CWM Recovery 6.0. So you can fix it only by changing your kernel or recovery, if you can.
[SIZE=+1]Q28: What are BB Codes and what BB Codes can I use in my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Mainly every kind of text formatting that we do in XDA thread is governed by BB codes. Here is the list of all the BB Codes we can use in XDA and explanation of each code.
[SIZE=+1]Q29: Is there anyway to mount my sd-card using CWM recovery?[/SIZE]
A: Yes! Many versions of CWM support mounting sd-card through it. For that go to Mounts and Storage->Mount sd-card and you're done! But remember if you press back button then your sd-card will unmount instantly.
[SIZE=+1]Q30: How do I add [SOLVED] tag to my thread/how do I change title of my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Just check here and similar way you can also change the title of your thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q31: Can you make a program for all the important links and guides?(I don't know if it belongs to FAQ but it's a good tool)[/SIZE]
A: Yes. mnishamk made a good tool. You can use it for that. Here's the link.
[SIZE=+1]Q32: My phone can't restore the backups I made from recoveries. Why?[/SIZE]
A: Well there could be various reasons for it. It may happen because you might have made backup from CWM and restoring via TWRP or vice-versa. CWM makes the recoveries in the yaffs2 image for while the extension of twrp recoveries are .win.img so backups made in one recovery wouldn't be visible on other.
Another reason could be that you have renamed your backups and they have spaces in them. Remove the spaces and voila! you would be able to restore now!

T.E.A.M. Stock Rom for 2011 Xperia devices
(Arc, Arc S, Ray, Active, Play, Neo, Neo V)
pvyParts and iridaki
Proudly Present you
T.E.A.M. Stock Rom
A Rom for the Community By the Community!
YOU MUST Read this Post FULLY Before you Post any Questions!
First of all, hello 2011 Xperia Devices World!
We are coming from a galaxy far far away, where and when the X10 was a flagship!
We created the T.E.A.M ROM for the X10 and now we are taking the first step towards porting it to the next generation of devices.
The new TEAM ROM will be universal across the following devices:
1. Xperia Arc
2. Xperia Arc S
3. Xperia Active
4. Xperia Ray
5. Xperia Play
6. Xperia Neo
7. Xperia Neo V
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( Devices with smaller screen resolution, such as Mini and Mini Pro will follow later on we didn't forget you! )
How we did that?
We have developed a Auto-Magic installation script that will work on any Xperia device by customising system files appropriately during flashing.
Some of the many new and unique features of the upcoming TEAM ROM:
1. Quick sound profiles integrated into the ROM -forget any 3rd party apps, now it's all accessible from the power menu
2. Brightness toggle control with a neat popup you can bring up any time from your statusbar
3. TEAM Tweaks (customise your clock/date/battery/signal text color/size/font, integrated battery bar)
4. Transparency everywhere you look!
5. Elegant TEAM theme
6. New Clock and Calendar from leaked Xperia S GB ROM
7. Tweaks for ambient sensor, minfree and more
8. Enhanced power menu with reboot options: Reboot, Reboot in Recovery, Reboot in Fastboot. If you choose the latter, you will be prompted to insert your USB cable and the procedure will complete only after you have! As convenient as it gets
9. Compatible with any 2.3.4 ROM, any kernel, any current setup. It will not wipe your data or intefere with the way you have been using the phone so far. It will only make it MUCH better
We are introducing the "ROM/AddOn" concept and we are looking forward to your feedback.
ROM/AddOn means:
* One Zip all Phones! with some Scripting magic we can keep all devices updated with a single zip.
And last but not least, don't forget we have great things in store for all of you:
* Full AppMan Support with 100% OTA Capable, Auto-Magicaly Flashed updates (comming soon)
HOW TO INSTALL:
REQUIREMENTS
HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY BEFORE STARTING!
You must also me on a 2.3.4 Stock Firmware
( This is not a Stock based ROM, it is a Sony Stock Firmware )
You will also need Root and CWM
This will work on either Locked or unlocked bootlaoders that meat the above requiments
NO DATA WILL BE WIPED DURING INSTALLATION!
1. Boot into Recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP ( This is really IMPORTANT, as we can't recover your data! If the fan gets soiled )
2. Flash the "TEAM_ROM_v0001_HDPI.zip" via Recovery.
3. Reboot and let the phone do it's thing as it will be rebuilding caches and settling.
First boot can take up to 10 minutes so be patient!
If you want to use your own custom Clock font:
1. You should place your custom font in folder /system/TEAM/font and it should be a .ttf file named clock_font.ttf.
2. Go to Settings > Tweaks and check the option Custom Font for whatever element you wish (clock, battery, signal, date).
You can now also tweak the text size to your liking!!

Q & A
Q: Where is AppMan?
A: AppMan will suffer a full rewrite and will be ready for a future update!
Q: Can I use this or that kernel for unlock or locked bootloader?
A: ALL kernels built for stock ROMs WILL WORK on this rom. We have tested all of them so take our word for it. ( yes we are flash junkies )
Q: Can I use this or that theme?
A: Short answer, no. Unless of course it is built of our framework. We have made MASSIVE mods to the framework so most themes will disable most, if not all, options in the Tweaks app.
( unfortunatly themers dont like our framework as it changes too often )
Q: I am getting a FC on this or that, can you help me!
A: NO. We can't help you. Because what you just said means nothing to us.
We want to help you SO much, but in order to do that you need to report the bug properly.
We took care of that too, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18195325
Q: OMG YOU STOLE MY WORK! YOU [email protected]#$!% etc etc etc
A: We kindly ask you that if you have an issue with any of the inclusions in the ROM to either PM me or iridaki so we can sort it out politely There is no need to flame in the thread. Also if we have forgotten credits, please let us know and we will add them immediately.
Q: This rom is stupid, I hope you fail, "that" ROM is better!
A: That's cool, use "that" ROM. There is absolutely no need to report your disgust unless of course you have constructive criticsm. Personal Preference isn't a bug or an issue
We encourage EVERYONE to use the ROM they feel is best for them
Q: wow this is cool can i...
A: HOLD UP read our rules
1- no whining about our work
2- no asking for eta's
3- no asking for eta's
4- no useless posts in development thread
5- logcat or GTFO
6- no asking for eta's

Does exactly what it says on the tin, downloaded over wifi, flashed in recovery (after backing up) and it looks and feels very nice. Contacts/apps/texts/wallpaper was exactly as i left it (as mentioned in OP) very impressed, best ROM ive used on the Play so far and i too am a flashing junkie, great job!
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
This is great, can't wait for future updates, especially looking forward to having the ability to customise the notification power widget.
Remember to re-set your alarms after flashing this as it installs a new clock (and alarm) app
I'd like to thank you and your mate for making this ROM.
I have a few questions:
How to make a Nandroid Backup ?
And what about gamepad ? Can you make it work without issues?
I am asking this question because it is important to me + untill now I haven't seen it works perfectly on all existing custom ROMs for xperia play.
what kernel needs to be used on this rom? can i use a stock based doomkernel?
Nice to see more devs getting in on xperia models. Just a bit of advice, put GSM label for this thread so it doesn't cause any confusion to the community
I badly want that theme @t the second post *-*

This should work on all variants of the play that have a 2.3.4 OS (NM just figured out the CDMA one is 2.3.3)
The gamepad works perfect no worries. Very nice rom. Only thing I've had trouble with is the font size and color. Its white many times and can't read it. Also the status bar icons don't change from gray clock and battery percent color works. Pop-up windows are white also very hard to read any way to change it?

Gotcha. I just downloaded it. May try just for kicks.
get back on whether it works or not if u do risk it.
lol!!!
Code:
"Security Error"
I guess I should have removed the P760 kernel from the zip before flashing.
I will KDZ back to 10g, remove kernel from zip, and reflash. Please hold....
seems like a good idea lol
No go. Still security error. Must be the locked boot loader on P769.
I have a problem with echo. I can hear myself and the caller has an echo

@Virusbetax, Thanks and glad to see, you have all that enthusiasm this thread needs from a member, but my friend....
IMHO, Please dont mind, you are not the right person to post in "ORIGINAL DEVELOPEMENT" section. Markolino deserved it coz he is working on CM9 and CM10 codes. If you are just posting a link of aremcee's work in this section, this is not fair. If someone asks bugfixes and tweaks and changes in features, you will not be able to do it or recompile it or give any support. Posts in this section should be done with responsibilities. Tell me if I am wrong.
Hope you will take care next time. Sorry if this bugged.
anyone tested on P768 :-?

These days the forum administration is happening very professionally. they are reviewing threads and maintenance is done very fast. they will decide which thread should go where. I always opened my thread in General Section and on public demand, some went in dev section and some in troubleshoot section. I regularly ask admins to close my own threads which are useless and disturbing or confusing with other subjects.
Lets all be organized pals for community sake. Happy XDAing

@Virusbetax
Now you should post changelog and discuss the issues and workarounds about CM10.1
Posting the GitHub Changelog of Markolino for you.

It is possible to fix it in incomming releases? I don't really care about 1080p video recording, 720p is fine.
i used to experience this issue when i would use a rom that was from a different device variant (samsung t989 -> i577) these things happen. also is anyone else experienceing this probelm?
I've made this thread to help people who have some problem and make new threads instead of searching the common questions. In my next post I will start posting the FAQ's and since it's not possible for me to be online 24/7 so it may take sometime but i will keep updating it. And if anyone have some doubts feel free to ask. BTW feel free to PM me if you have some ideas or nice questions to improve this thread

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Xperia Neo and its models.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: I get bootloop after installing a custom rom. What is the problem?[/SIZE]
A: Have you done everything correctly?
-Firstly post your problem in the ROM thread as the devs there may help you better.
-Check your mobile compatibility with the ROM
-Check if you have installed the correct kernel for your ROM.
-Check whether you have done the correct wipes as mentioned in the ROM thread.
-Some ROMs require formatting system. So if it is mentioned in main ROM thread then you must do it.
-Some releases may require stock rom first before flashing the custom rom. So flash the stock rom and then the custom rom over it.
If nothing works just download the stock ROM for your mobile and flash it using flashtool. This may solve your problem.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: Can you suggest me the best ROM or kernel or something like that for my smartphone cause i'm really lazy to do a bit of searching...?[/SIZE]
A: First go here and beware before asking these type of questions again otherwise you will end up with a bunch of people like me mocking you and nothing else.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: I installed wrong device's ROM for my mobile and now my touch has gone. Please help!
[/SIZE]
A: There are lot of threads on this question. First refer to each one of them and see if it works or see this thread. Most probably your problem might be fixed till now.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: I have rooted my phone successfully, now how can I install CWM (ClockWorkMod) Recovery?[/SIZE]
A: If you have locked bootloader you can simply install CWM using an app called x-parts from Google Play and install recovery from it. And if your bootloader is unlocked you can simply flash a custom kernel with CWM or some other recovery present in it.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: I have a problem with this ROM and what should I....[/SIZE]
A: It's a ROM specific question, better post it in the ROM thread. They will help you better.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: My phone can't boot in fastboot mode. Please help me!
[/SIZE]
A: Firstly check that fastboot is enabled on your mobile and the correct procedure to go to fastboot mode is by holding menu button and connecting to computer via USB.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: WIFI is not working. What should I do?[/SIZE]
A: See if it is listed as a bug in the specific ROM thread. If not try custom kernels and if you can get correct WIFI modules flash them. If you're lucky WIFI will work.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: How do I install custom rom/kernel on my mobile?[/SIZE]
A: Mihahn has worked really hard on making his guide not because he wants some people asking again and again the same questions instead of using a bit of the "SEARCH" feature.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: What is the safest way to root my phone or unlock its bootloader?[/SIZE]
A: There no such thing as safest way. If you do everything correctly you will be successful in rooting you phone and unlocking the bootloader.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: How to activate MSC(mass storage mode) on CM10?[/SIZE]
A: Though this question is of a particular rom but still I've listed it here since many people asked this question. Just go here, thanks the person and perform the steps correctly.
[SIZE=+1]Q11: I did an OTA(Over the Air) update after unlocking bootloader. Now my phone is dead, what should I do?[/SIZE]
A: Just go to this thread, thanks the person. Refer to section 6 and download the unbricking package from no.16 of XX.Downloads section, perform the correct steps and most probably your phone will be back to life!
[SIZE=+1]Q12: Unlocking bootloader using TestPoint method is not working for my device. Please help.[/SIZE]
A: For the newly manufactured phone(above 12w11), TestPoint method will not work. You can still use the official method or se bootloader unlocking tool.
[SIZE=+1]Q13: How do I unlock my bootloader if it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed:No?[/SIZE]
A: No one has actually got a 100% working solution since it is because of your simlock, thus you may have to pay for it. You can try WotanServer or Omnius and if you're lucky it will be unlocked and fastboot might be enabled.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: How do I OC(OverClock) or UC(UnderClock) my phone?[/SIZE]
A: If your kernel supports the function and if your ROM has inbuilt option for the fuction then you can do it directly from ROM or else you can buy/download apps like SetCPU for your phone and can use it easily to OC, UC or change governer of your CPU. *Playing with your CPU is at your own risk and if you go anywhere wrong your phone might not be able to recover(permanent brick). So if you are a newbie(noob) just stay away from these things*
[SIZE=+1]Q15: How much OverClocking is advised for my phone?[/SIZE]
A: Though there are some kernels which provide Over Clocking from 1.6-2 GHz(GigaHertz), but still you should not overclock above 1.2-1.4 GHz for daily use or else your CPU might burn, turning your phone into permanent brick. *I personally do not advise overclocking at all so do everything at your own risk.
[SIZE=+1]Q16: How do I partition my sd-card?[/SIZE]
A: Follow this very nice guide given by sayhellotwoheaven. Don't forget to THANK him.
[SIZE=+1]Q17: How does Thanks Meter affect my profile?[/SIZE]
A: Thanks Meter actually is not useful in becoming Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer. It is actually the appreciation you get on you works. Thanks Meter has been made so that members of XDA stop posting just THANKS on threads and thread could be clean and helpful.
[SIZE=+1]Q18: How to be a Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer?[/SIZE]
A: Recognized Contributor is a role intended for members who produce some of the best original and helpful guides for users, as well as helping other users who have problems, in a friendly manner. Recognized Contributors will get a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Contributors, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Themers are those users who work (often tirelessly) on designing new theme graphics and user interface overhauls for ROMs. Users who aspire to be Recognized Themers should be creating original graphics work for their themes being released, demonstrate a commitment to crediting other users’ work when applicable, and seek the relevant permission in advance from the original creator. Recognized Themers will receive a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Themers, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Developer, as the name suggest are those who develop really good ROMs, kernels, etc. Anyone who is skillful and publishes his own creation other that just copying and pasting can be termed as recognized developer.
For more details and how to apply for these posts. See this.
[SIZE=+1]Q19: How to add framework mods like skipping track via volume button, small apps, CRT-off animation, etc.?[/SIZE]
A: See this very beautiful guide by Sandy7 and jader13254 which will help you a lot. Just give them THANKS.
[SIZE=+1]Q20: How to Decompile/Recompile ICS apk files?[/SIZE]
A: Here is a great guide by stanlin salu. Just follow that and you can very easily do it. Just don't forget to give him THANKS.
[SIZE=+1]Q21: What are Governors and I/O Schedulers, etc.?[/SIZE]
A: See this very good guide by zhanjia and anyone can know everything about them.
[SIZE=+1]Q22: My ROM doesn't have x-loud and BE(Bravia Engine). How do I install them?
[/SIZE]
A: Simply download a very nice app know as Pimp My Rom from Google Play and install it and you can get many tweaks and options in that. It also has an option to download BE and x-loud for your ROM if it's compatible.
[SIZE=+1]Q23: Does ChainFire3D support my phone?[/SIZE]
A: The simple answer is download and use it. But if you are on ICS/JB I would recommend you not to use it as it may most probably result in bootloop. ChainFire3D is compatible only upto GB.
[SIZE=+1]Q24: Why does my phone say Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No?[/SIZE]
A: It's most probably a simlock. The mobile you bought has a simlock of the particular company whose SIM is being used. Normally the companies used to provide the unlocking code after sometime but now I think it won't be provided from now since simlock unlocking has become illegal. But you can break your simlock through WotanServer, Omnius or some local shops.
[SIZE=+1]Q25: Can you tell me how does thanks meter increases with regard to number of thanks?[/SIZE]
A:No. of Thanks and meter:
0-25

[SIZE=+1]Q26: Aroma installer is half-size in my phone. How to solve this?[/SIZE]
A: Firstly thanks to abcdjdj for letting me know this. Aroma installer is shown in half-screen in all kernels which have CWM Recovery 6.0. So you can fix it only by changing your kernel or recovery, if you can.
[SIZE=+1]Q27: What are BB Codes and what BB Codes can I use in my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Mainly every kind of text formatting that we do in XDA thread is governed by BB codes. Here is the list of all the BB Codes we can use in XDA and explanation of each code.
[SIZE=+1]Q28: Is there anyway to mount my sd-card using CWM recovery?[/SIZE]
A: Yes! Many versions of CWM support mounting sd-card through it. For that go to Mounts and Storage->Mount sd-card and you're done! But remember if you press back button then your sd-card will unmount instantly.
[SIZE=+1]Q29: How do I add [SOLVED] tag to my thread/how do I change title of my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Just check here and similar way you can also change the title of your thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q30: My phone can't restore the backups I made from recoveries. Why?[/SIZE]
A: Well there could be various reasons for it. It may happen because you might have made backup from CWM and restoring via TWRP or vice-versa. CWM makes the recoveries in the yaffs2 image for while the extension of twrp recoveries are .win.img so backups made in one recovery wouldn't be visible on other.
Another reason could be that you have renamed your backups and they have spaces in them. Remove the spaces and voila! you would be able to restore now!
[SIZE=+1]Q31: I'm facing various status errors in CWM. Can you please help me?[/SIZE]
A: Try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230733

Hi i would like to ask if anyone has ever used root master for rooting neo v, and mobile uncle tools for flashing cwm.... It would really be hassle free if we could root and install recovery without pc... Tnx
Constant noob probs with roms kernals etc..
Heya, i would dearly like to pimp my Xperia Neo Mt15i but am having constant probs with things screwing up, boot loops etc...
Just wondering if after having a laugh at my latest mess someone could give me a few pointers?
To start my phone has an unlocked bootloader, and half a messed up install of a KK rom/kernal (dark).......... I quite like the look of Xperia Z Jelly Bean v4......so i downloaded all the parts.....it said use the kernal in the zip....but as there wasn't one i got the lupus 720p ..got the rom, gapps and neo patch on the sd card,
Flashed the lupus kernal through flashtool and restated into recovery where I flashed the rest of the bits..... as the phone was basically wiped anyway i didn't wipe the cache, davlik etc...then i tried to start the phone........
It sometimes actually gets into the phone menu (most time just hangs at rom logo) but there it has constant FC's of Xperia home, messaging, contacts and a few others. from there it's impossible to do anything other than to pull the battery and restart.
Recovery has now gone back button works for a second or so (goes blue) then it just tries to boot normally....
So what to do now? cant get into the phone to re-flash a kernal with adb....so only thing to do is flash an old firmware from flashmode? then start all over again?
But if i did i'd then spend the next few hours tearing my hair out with the same or other problems?
I cant post this in the rom forum due to not having privileges..
What am i doing wrong? is there an easier way to reflash a kernal if you cant get into the phone ? why do i bother it's not going to work anyway ?

Kaioken Rom
PLEASE make sure to thank the developer for the dedication to his ROM
Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter
FAQ
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See THE Developer's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342045
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
Explaining the purpose of our Q&A/T threads for specific ROM's to posters.
"Hi dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM, etc, etc
Hope to have given you enough information,
kindest regards, Kuzibri
Welcome all to the Q&A thread for Kaioken Rom! I will make a FAQ here shortly!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
dirty-flashing, etc
1a) With what versions/updates can the ROM be flashed over itself without issues?
1b) Can initial installs be flashed over with the newest version?
2) Does everything still work fine if I uninstall the stock launcher after installing another launcher/ Nova.
I found an issue where after flashing this rom, I flashed over to speedrom 9 and lost all data connectivity, even with apn info filled in... does Kaioken rom change the radio settings??

Did you format all partitions? My Rom doesn't change radio settings. You can't dirty flash to other roms, you'll get problems.

yea no, I always format partitions before flashing roms. Anyhow, it may not be this rom that caused it, but I was curious

If you permanently lost radio settings (no idea how stuff like that can happen), try using the RUU as your last resort.

Disable Fastboot
Hi Afnan, just tried your Kaioken ROM, seems good so far, good work. I was wondering how do I turn of Fastboot as there is no Power option in settings? Is there any other setting menu or have you removed the option?
Thanks
Turning Off WiFi Calling
Hi Afnan, with version 3.0 of your Kaioken ROM, can one disable WiFi Calling altogether? I know you have replied to this before that there is no option to turn it off in AOSP based ROMs, but I thought may be there is some other way. Deleting WiFi Calling apk from /system/app and WiFi Calling Setting via Titanium Backup does not work and it still gives WiFi Calling error on statusbar for those sims which do not support wifi calling.

Hi Gi__an!
I am not too familiar with fast boot to be honest. If you can turn it off in Speed Rom, you most likely won't be able to turn it off here. Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted.

Hello there unikorn!
Well unfortunately for AOSP - like Sense roms with the aosp settings, it is hard cooked in, with no way to get it out.
I think I do know a way though, you have to use an archiver on your computer, when you downloaded this rom, you must open the rom, go to system/app (open system folder, then app folder). Then copy the Wifi Calling files from a Sense ROM such as ENERGY rom into Kaioken's app folder. I think the files you need to copy are ims-service.apk, WifiCalll.apk, and Wifirouter.apk. They were named something like that.
Sorry if this is a lengthy workaround, I will probably have to make a Wifi calling remover flashable zip for this rom lol.

That would be awesome indeed. I don't know even if I replace these files, the option would still be enabled as it is enabled by default in Sense ROM if I am not mistaken. But I will give it a try. Till then if a flashable zip comes up, that will make the task easier.
Cheers

It should, I haven't tried it though. If it works in Energy or Speed rom it should work here.

It is always best to "thank" the development thread OP, instead of posting "Thank you"..
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
FAQ
Q Why a special Q&A/T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm friendly asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See the Developer's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524691
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
kindest regards, Kuzibri

@jeepers007 will you update the kernel to sportsstar89's ION 3.0.101 kernel to fix black boxes issues? TIA
The thing is that the battery is draining too fast. please focus one updateon that maybe... just a request. awesome Rom otherwise
jeepers007 said:
For those interested in trying out a test build- go to EV Updater, and look under the TESTING tab, you will see a test release from today.
Still experimenting with the camera wrapper. I included this again from the Team Hydra repo.
There have been minor framework and other code updates.

it's not because black boxes are still present.
I just installed the latest test build
camera works fine but camcorder is broken, it won't record either for HD 1080p or 720p or SD 480p. logcat for camcorder

No, it's the same kernel which is in the previous built.
For you folks looking for a working camera/camcorder for this ROM see my thread in the Themes Apps forum. The older versions of the Famigo gapps (versions 7.1-8.0) install the photosphere camera and libs on any AOSP based (non-HTC-sense) JB-4.3 or KK-4.4 device. I tried that camera on this ROM and found it took excellent photos up to 8mpx and the camcorder worked up to 720p. Selecting any higher resolution caused lockups. I tried getting photoshere to work, but had issues with this ROM, but worked in the older JB version and on PACman ROM.
The links are in my thread, and be sure to thank the dev dotmaniac, for his work.
Ciao

The battery drain is the biggest problem I have with this rom.
Hello,
I'm having trouble getting Gapps to show up. I downloaded it through Settings>Evervolv>Updates>Gapps>kk44-20131126-core.zip and I installed it via CWM 5.0.2.0.
I installed it without wiping the data and cache, I installed it with wiping the data and cache, I installed it by rebooting into recovery and installing from zip.
My phone says I'm running Andriod 4.4, Kernel Version 2.6.38.8-evervolv-02122...., Mod version ev_bravo-4.0.0p2--turba, Build number ev_bravo-eng 4.4KRT16S....
The last rom I installed was on a HTC touch diamond (with a cool Hitman theme, hahaha) and that was a long time ago, so I apologize in advance if I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks for your help and thanks for your work on these ROMs.
Jay
@jaylamar try updating your recovery to 4ext: http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
CWM 5.0.2.0 is too old lol

There may be new gapps available, but as of today there is no newly updated version of this ROM since early Feb, and more importantly, still no ION support. In a post a page back @jeepers007 mentioned that sportsstar89's CM ION kernel doesn't work on this ROM and that he was working with another Evervolv dev who is trying to get a 3.4 ION kernel working instead.
Edit: It appears that TonyStark (Mods) moved this post and the one above that I quoted from their original location in the dev thread, so now it appears to make no sense, because there is no post from jeepers007 a page back from here. I wish the mods would have just deleted this post instead of moving it and making me look foolish for referring to a post which is nonexistent on this thread. The post I was originally referring to is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50044108&postcount=268
