[Q] Wifi not working. Not a noob topic

Hi,

FIrstly I'd like to say I'm not noob. So please dont treat me like one and tell me to search the forum. I've already did it many times.
Secondly, I've tried MANY Roms. Like a lot. But all I want is something very stable. So I decided to use Stock.

I've tried these ROMs and some more I cant remember:
CM11
CM12
Honami
DextroDroid (wifi worked very well here.. just hated the nav bar and icon size. Coudn't live with it hahaha)
Clean 'n' Tweaked
Matrix
LiquidSmooth
Carbon
PAC-Man
And ALL Stock versions

Sometimes the wifi works after I reflash stock. But then I decide to do something else and the phone gets int oa bootloop and I have to reflash. Then the wifi is messed up again =(
Now I'm testing Kernels.
ThunderZap 4.1 and Extended Stock v6 are the best bets.

I would like to know if you guys have been through this too.
How to make the wifi work again and avoid bootloops?

I'm almost buying a new phone. I'm spending too many hours trying to fix Xperia L.

Multiple issues. Help a noob please. topic

I am new to android and hacking.
I am using a Micromax Canvas Nitro A310 phone which is a rebranded Coolpad F1 8297w. In my haste and excitement I installed a YunOs ROM. That led to my bootsplash being replaced by another image.
While trying to fix that I corrupted my recovery and have been unable to get into recovery since.
I used adb sideload to flash a zip file after which I can no longer boot into recovery.
My current OS is a KitKat based Hive UI for Xolo phones. Its an AOSP ROM with good battery backup so I still have a working phone.
Also, I was playing with themer launcher and that seems to have altered some setting as my home button is no longer working.
So, I have three issues and hope that they are not inter related. :confused:
1. Altered Bootsplash.
2. Unable to get into recovery.:banghead:
3. Home button not working.

I have tried various steps to fix the most important issue (2) here.
1. Tried flashing recovery from within the device. Doesn't work as neither CWM nor TWRP have released stable recoveries for my device. Flashify and ROM manager don't work either.
2. Fastboot mode (boot loader). I can get my device into fastboot mode but, my PC doesn't recognize the device. I am confused as to which drivers to install. MMX A310 or CoolpadF1 or Xolo 8x1000 which is the name I get when I connect my phone to PC in normal MTP mode.

I have come to the conclusion that first I need to flash a stable recovery using boot loader. For that I need help.
Also in Windows device manager under other devices MTK65xxx is showing. The drivers weren't digitally signed so I disabled that in windows 8.1.
Fastboot still doesn't recognize my device.
:(

Senior devs please guide me through (2) as it is imperative to solve. The rest can wait.

[Q] Noob Question about rooting topic

if i root my M8 and i install Xposed framwork. when my m8 gets the lollipop update can i just uninstall xposed (or disable it) and then disable root through supersu will i be okay to recieve the lollipop update? (for a side note i do know xposed will not work in lollipop once it is released for the m8)

what happened to all the noob stuff? topic

Ok, I've been around for a while lurking and submitting some stuff under a different pen name, but anyway.
all the material for beginners has been buried, or not explained in recent posts for installations.
buried material of importance would be like installing supersu or modems. sure individual roms are great but without the basics its not very useful to new users.

can we please add this material?

like;
modem/firmware/baseband
vs
rom
vs
bootloader

I keep seeing this posted all over the place and i feel it is confusing many new users.
Even I am getting confused as we are not sticking to any one terminology or expanding to cover the many different terms in recent posts. for example in one post i will see "modem" referencing firmware or "modem" referencing "baseband" very confusing when jumping around lately.
Thank you for you time.

[Q] Noob question about radios topic

Sorry for being dumb but... I'm running CyanogenMod version 10.2.0-ville on an HTC One S, flashed using CMW, and everything seemed to be working fine. The problem is that I don't get 3 or H, only G or E, and I think my APN settings are all correct. I think I may need to flash another 'baseband' or 'Radio'? (Sorry for showing my noobs...)

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK.

a) Is there a special radio I need to flash?
b) Can I flash it 'within' my existing ROM, or do I need a new ROM?

Model number: One S
Android version: 4.3.1
Baseband version: 1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L
Kernel version: 3.4.11-g69442cc build01@cyanogemod #1 Wed Dec 11 20:17:51 PST 2013
CM version: 10.2.0-ville
Build number cm_ville-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36I 5e6b787ae3

Network: T-Mobile
Mobile network type: GPRS


Any help?

[Q] [Question] Vivo Y22 storage too small or I'm too noob? topic

Dear developers,

Recently I got a new phone Vivo Y22 with Funtouch OS v1.0 (Christmas present). Its was okay at first then it start telling me that storage has not enough space (with only factory apps and Clean Master). I realize the it had about 4GB internal storage but divided to 2 parts. 2.5GB for system space and 1.06GB as internal storage. In system space, i have only 150mb left I always need to use Clean Master to wipe cache before I download anything. I tried Link2SD, I formatted my SD card and set 4GB partition as EXT2 but did not detect. Same goes for EXT3 and EXT4. It only works for FAT32 but some files cannot be linked using this format. Read some threads in web, they mentioned some phone does not support EXT2,3,4 format. Maybe this is my case? I tried to look for informations about Vivo Y22 but very less and worst, some of them is in chinese.

So the 1st question is: How can I increase the system space? Could I adjust the system space to occupy my more of my Internal Memory?

Second question is, how do I update my phone from JellyBean to KitKat? Do I follow tutorials that uses the same Chipset (Y22 uses MediaTek MT6582)? How if I want to install custom ROMs like CM11 (can't find Vivo Y22 in Device section in CM site so i presume it is not supported?)?

Thanks in advance.. :D

Thats it :D Reboot your phone and see the change!

These are not my tweaks I didn't invent them :D But I gather them slowly, BEST for our i9100. It took my 6 months to test all the tweaks and combine them.
