Use CM6.1 instead
#TeamFenix (IRC channel: #mytouchslide on Freenode) presents Cyanogenmod 6
Details/Goal: I've owned Android phones for about 2 years now, I've always enjoyed making minor tweaks to the previously simple CyanogenMod so that it would suit my purposes (lightweight, fast, good battery life). When CM6 came along I was slightly distraught that it had taken a turn for heavily drifting from the old AOSP with Google Apps (not entirely for the worse though). So I decided that I will modify CM6 to suit my needs and eventually compile it from source instead of relying on Eugene's or the nightlies.
Changes:
2.0
-Stuff was done, or something
-EVEN MOAR AUDIO FILES
-Better bootanimation
-100% untested!
1.9 (unreleased)
-**** all
1.8:
-Rebased on newest nightly
-Removed lots of crapware
-Made a flashable .zip that will let you restore said crapware
-Played with the kernel
--Apparently broke with the kernel, must use OC kernel (I think)
-It's BLACK!
-Fixed the force closes (by way of apk removal) of the Pinyin IME/OpenWnn IME.
1.7.1:
-Minor build.prop change to allow stock Swype to install/work
-something else I forget
1.7:
-Removed Swype as it is for wrong device (try the 2 linked below
-Custom pr0tips.apk (built off LithiumMod's source, thanks guys!)
-Bootanimation is back (custom #TeamFenix one soon!)
-Bluetooth audio (possibly) fixed, see instructions below
-Fixed the provision annoyance
Flashed and running. All good.
I think I'm having poor 3G reception at this time. WiFi works though....
I can confirm Bluetooth is working!
Keyboard works except the FN and Shift indicators.
More testing tomorrow....
I was able to update Swype using my method here:

Alright, that's what I'm on atm
flashing now
All the roms i've seen for the slide so far use ADW or HELIX launcher. To be honest I don't hear much talk about launcher pro. Is there a reason people don't use launcher pro? Or is it just personal preference?
rawr! i just finished flashing v1.1 and it works awesome, whats diff with v1.2?...OK flashing v1.2, camera and camcorder work great
Can anyone confirm the camera is working well?

Awesome
Going to swap out my other froyo rom for this one and see how it goes.
So far, so good.
Apps2SD isn't working, right? Or do I need to do something to enable it?
I'm already missing certain Sense elements but the things I've gained are keeping my interest.
Thanks to all devs involved!
Thanks. Great rom, camera/camcorder working. Not sure how to get apps to sd. Also Has anyone figured out how to get swype working?

Personally I HATE Helix and Launcherpro is going to be a paid app eventually, I don't an issue with people making their applications cost money but I prefer to support a developer who's work will be free forever (hopefully) and accepts donations.
and with ADW I can set the overshoot to insanely high amounts

Apps2SD works fine (tested Froyo's native move to SD, with the Dictionary.com application on a 100% FAT32 card)
I can suggest some replacements to Sense applications if you wish (Beautiful Widgets + it's widget packs are great alternatives to their stock Espresso counterparts)

I'm not quite sure, I thought I had it working but it errors out (wrong device). You could try one of these versions listed, I will contact Eugene today or tomorrow to see if he has any insight
Also I was partially wrong about the camera being 100% fixed, the flash doesn't work (I saw a commit that probably will fix it by @cmsrc so it may be working tomorrow)
edit: The camera LED only works for the camera, not external programs. The aforementioned fix should correct it.

Apps2SD works, go into SETTINGS; CYANOGENMOD SETTINGS; APPLICATION SETTINGS; then check able to move apps to external and set storage to external... then just move all apps that you want to the SD card and your all set!

Its not Apps2SDext, its the native froyo apps2sd
I'm liking this rom so far and will use it as my daily tomorrow and see how it goes.
Some Issues:
The only way to bring up the lock screen is to press the power button or menu button. Home, trackpad, back, genius doesn't.

What's wrong with the Froyo implementation? Personally I think the old method was a PITA
Also those aren't issues, but configurable options. See CM Settings > Input > Trackpall unlock/wake. The others seem rather redundant (do you really wanna wear out home/menu/back instead of using the trackpad? Personal preference I guess, you can set WAKE_UNLOCK in the /usr/keylayout files though if that's really your cup of tea)

It's just that on the stock htc rom it does this and I thought it was an issue. Didn't know it was as simple as mapping the keys in some config file. Thanks for clearing all this up all I need is the trackpad.
ahhh idk about froyo roms iam stuck on my custom sence ie.friend stream so it makes me not want to chang and just wait till 2,2 comes out with it

Oh I thought you were implying that there was something wrong with Froyo's, my bad
No problem, I recommend disabling surface dithering under Performance, makes scrolling much more fluid in my opinion.
THIS IS ABOUT BETA 3
For beta 2 (old OP) see post #72
I HAVE CREATED THIS TO WORK ON WOLFXPERIA V7B6 ULBLDOOM
I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS ON ANY OTHER VERSION OF WOLF'S ROM.
I CANNOT GUARANTEE IF IT WILL WORK ON OTHER ROMS.
(if anyone risks trying this on any other stock based rom, pls give feedback)
(this can work on gaming version too. though i have not checked personally)
So here we go, presenting you with WolfXperia7_ModChamp_BlackEdition (beta3)
As we all know Wolf cooks the best stock based roms around, but as he himself told me he "stays so busy with ROM development, he doesn't get time to make addons/mods for his own roms". So I trying to help all users of wolfxperia by bringing together all goodies an features along with a handful of tweaks into a single mod.
Various people have ported things from other devices to work on the X10, and I've used many of their works. In case i lost track and missed out a few credits here and there, pardon me, and PM me, i'll add all your credits.
My own personal efforts are limited to modding the theme, tweaking the init scripts, and porting the panorama and play launcher app from other xperia ROMs and a few other apps. Other apps are either ported by others or are taken from the market. (I have used only free versions).
---FEATURES---
+provision to install failsafe settings through bootmanager customscript in case of instability
+ makes wolfxperia fully featured. contains all apps that a smartphone should have for optimal functionality
+latest trackid with ics looks (sweden version), latest market 3.4.4 (superfast), latest facebook
+ custom led notifications (like cm/miui) and custom headset button commands (like ipod shuffle)
+apple siri like app (speaktoit) included.
+ all black onyx wallpaper based backgrounds, two themes to chose from (see downloads section), fly and fold animations (smooth and swift)
+ retweaked taskkiller, vm and cpu settings. *might* give better battery life and better performance.
+ preoverclocked at init.d level. preconfigured sleep settings. you could do away with cpu adjustment apps like setxperia or setcpu control
+timescape is themeable using the semc theme manager.
+sweep panorama camera and xperia flashlight, xperia active app(fitness) along with lots of xperia arc apps included (as many as i could make work on this)
+provision for fbix sync bug and missing sms bug
---REQUIREMENTS---
1. a working wolf's v7b6 ulbldoom ROM (preferrably fresh install, but will work otherwise too)
2. doomlord's v6 kernel wiht bootmanager
3. the zip files you'll download from links below
---FILE DETAILS---
Please note that i have split my mod into 4 files because people were complaining about the size
the MAIN.zip is the main mod. contains all tweaks, and features mentioned above. it does not depend on AUXILIARY to run. it gives all features of my mod without installing the other zips
the AUXILLIARY.zip contains third party apps, timescape/music extensions, widgets etc which gives extra features to your phone. it can be installed standalone, but i recommend installing MAIN before installing AUXILIARY
The SEMCAPPS.zip contains *all* Xperia apps from various phones (pro, arc, active) which i could make work on x10. it DOES NOT contain those arc apps that are already present in wolf's ulblDoom ROM. it also contains default semc wallpapers, themes etc.
The THEME(Carbon Black) is the theme i created to use with this MOD originally. the toggles are grey, all icons on stats bar are grayscale, the wallpaper will automatically become black, timescape will be themes black, all menu backgrounds will turn black (backgrounds are based on stock sony black wallpaper). the dropdowns are semi transparent. it also has circullar grey battery
The THEME(cheap colour miui) gives a miui style status bar and all grey icons in system, settings etc are coloured. battery is bar with % (not circle)
****In both the above themes, the connectivity icons will glow BLUE when phone is connected to Google services. EDT tweaks are compatible with both.
#### AUXILIARY, SEMCAPPS AND THEME are optional. they ARE NOT required for MAIN to work.
####If you dont want to change visual appearance. DO NOT install the THEME.
####Don't worry about size of zips. there is lot of freee space in ROM area of x10. It will not eat up your data space or your sdcard space.
$$$$ The zips can be used regardless of whther the you have installed the others or not. you can install them in any order, and can install them in any combination you like
---INSTALLATION---
1. put the zips in sdcard
2. boot into xrecovery and flash the zips
##### i recommend the following order (1. main, 2(or3).auxiliary, 3(or2).semcapps, 4.theme (any one of the two provided)
3. if you are not on full-oc kernel, then flash your respective wifi modules (gregbradley's signature or doomlord's thread)
4. boot your phone. it might take an eternity. please be patient.
(if after the bootanimation, the screen goes black, wait for another minute, pull out battery, and then restart phone again. this should not happen but i encountered this once so telling it. may happen only on first boot, never thereafter)
5. If phone frequently freezes, or gives WLOD while using, or doesn't boot, then please go into bootmanager (preess menu key when blue LED glows at kernel) and "run custom script". this install failsafe init.d scripts
--SETTING UP APPS--
(i have included some precustomized settings for a few apps. you can use them or customize according to your likings.)
1. go to accessibilty settings, enable "light flow led". then open the light flow app, restore the backed up settings you'll find already present in your sdcard. customize further if you want.
2. open "jay's headset control" app and restore the backed up setting already present in your sdcard
3. If you use the "simple calendar widget", you'll find backed up settings for that too. restore that setting, and inside Appearance settings change "day text width" to 130.
4. open gosms app, go through the initial welcome screens, go to settings>advancedsettings>important tips and check "stock sms uninstalled"
next go to advancedsettings>receive settings> check "disable other notifications"
--REMOVED APPS--
>stock sms app (replaced with gosms) - thus no more missing sms problem
>efs explorer - use the root explorer in rom toolbox instead (included)
>stock browser - use opera mini instead (included) ... will save you lots of data usage.
>sound recorder - use rec forge lite instead (included)
--CREDITS--
>wolf - for making the great ROM and giving me lots of support and help during making this
>doomlord - giving us the kernel that unleashes our devices full potential

MIRROR
http://www.mediafire.com/?gcwt1ib5u6b42zp
EDIT:
There will be a lot of apps i instantly delete from this update because I already have paid versions or already have my own preference, e.g, skyfire instead of opera mini/stock browser...Good work though.
Also, has there been any systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk modifications? I only ask so that any kitchen work that has been done will still be able to apply to this..

yes delete unneeded apps before flashing ( that's common sense. lol)
this is actually meant primarily for ppl flashing fresh wolf rom. gives them loads of features to start with.
yes the framework and systemui are modded and so is semcgenericuxp. all background on all apps are based on black onyx wallpaper. (even changed trackid background, and play launcher background)

you've not deleted any apps from my zip before making the mirror i hope?

delete the "semcgenericuxpres.apk" file from /system/framework/ in my zip and replace it with the one you are using right now, before flashing it. and make a backup in xrevovery anywys before flashing. remember this is a beta and i have tested this for only 1 hr.
____edit______
u can install any theme meant to work on wolfs rom over this mod as well. so even if you don't delete semcgenericuxpres before flashing, u can instal the transparent theme later on over my mod.

1. took ages to flash, maybe you could remove some system apps that wont be needed in the mod because they are already in the rom, 85 mb seems like it should be a rom on its own.
2. taking ages to boot up, it hit 2 reboots. Total first boot time was about 5 mins.
3. Not a fan of the themeing, but thats just personal taste.
4. got a wlod in go sms on setup.
5. Application lightflow FC
6. Calendar widget works fine
7. Math calculator is good,
8. Speaktoit seems good,
9. Lots of good work, I will keep testing and see how the cpu settings/vdd levels do

there are no apps here which are also on original rom. have included only those apps which are new or modded.

try it out preferably on a fresh install. infact i would suggest flashing your rom followed directly by flashing this mod. not even booting your rom first time before flashing this mod. that way there are less chances of errors

Downloading. Will let you know in a little while
Thanks. Nice ROM. Icons in the status bar are blurry though. Apart from that, working fine for now.
Also, what file in the framework do I need to change to change the background that shows when we are in the Settings menu etc? Kinda obtrusive the default ones, so wanted to change them.
EDIT: Superuser is denying all apps root access, without any prompt showing up. Tried with both Titanium and Root Explorer.

The icons in the status bar look blurry because i did't have time to resize them.I promise that this will be fixed in future versions.
Maybe the problem with the su apk is caused by the kernel you are using.I never encountered such a problem when i run the tests but i was using my kernel instead.
Please, if you find any other bug, let me know...
Thanks in advance...

Edit 2: A little feedback The picture of background in settings menu is not so good in my opinion, it would be nice if there would be an option that will replace the image as just black background.. And second, the lack of OC option on your kernel

If you want, you can install another stock based kernel with OC.The rom will work fine with it.You will never get OC from my kernel.It's a way of thinking.I do not see it as a disadvantage.
If you want you can install another theme and change the settings background.
Please give some feedback on some other important issues like stability, speed, smoother scrolling, better touchscreen responsiveness, etc in comparison with stock firmware...
By the way, the resize of the icons is almost ready and i will probably release a flashable zip with the fix soon enough...
regarding the kernel.... if we use kernel nightelf is not better then kernel 62???what i mean if i using nightelf kernel can i just flash the u're rom??????

Hybrom is built without a boot image, and it can be installed on an any stock based kernel.
The choice about what kernel you will install is up to you.I prefer kernels without overclocking.
In the end you will have more disadvantages from an overclocked kernel (overheating, instability) than advantages (speed)
I agree;i use boof kernel and everythings work perfect.

I always wondered how will Diezel's Sony Sketch font look on our large screens
p.s. that font is not used in SE logo, it's created later based on look of SE logo
SE logo was made just as a logo, it was drawn.
To be honest it's a bit thin Not sure if we(on android) can change size,formatting of fonts.

Looking forward to see that, as when using this rom I feel somehow strange, like things aren't properly sized
Also in sms, icon in upper right part, for new sms, is a bit to large. Same thing happened when I tried using conv. app from xperia S.

-stability, hm ok didn't experience any problem.
-speed, speed of each app is ok, but switching between apps is slow, I would say to slow. for example when i receive sms and pull down status bar, click on it, sometimes it need 2,3 second to switch to sms.
-smooth scrolling is ok (why just ok? well maybe didn't pay much attention to that )
-touchscreen responsiveness, well I noticed one annoying thing, usually on stock, when light turns off ->touchscreen is off, and you can wake your phone with only hard keys. In your rom you can wake phone even touching on (turned off)screen which lasts only 2-3 second after it turns off. That wouldn't be a big problem if not only you wake it up but you actually press something
Also I noticed low number of free ram, I guess it's because of launcher and maybe other stuff you used.

About sonysketch font:I really didn't know which of the two came first.The logo or the font...
Useful information.
About icon resizing:Icons in the SystemUI.apk are resized and a flashable zip containing the new resized SystemUI.apk is uploaded on the first page of this thread under the "USEFUL CWM FLASHABLE ZIPS" section(SystemUI.apk is the one responsible mostly for the icons in your status bar).Framework-res.apk is now under resizing and it's half done.One or two more apks. and everything will be o.k.
About conversations.apk:The icon (for new conversation) is like the one from xperia s because this is the xperia s conversations.apk.It has nothing to do with resizing...
About screen going off:The screen after about 20sec gets dimmer.It doesn't turn off.It turns off after 30 sec.In this 10sec interval you have the chance to fully wake your screen only by touching it.After the 30sec have passed you will have to press the (hard) home key to wake your screen.
About free ram:Please give me some numbers... (I already have improved this feature in the upcoming v16)
P.S. i do not own an mt11i,so testing is very hard (a friend of mine owns an mt11i,but i do not see him often).So, posts like the previous one, are very useful for me.Please give me some more feedback and i may be able to bring neohybrom at the levels of the original hybrom...

About screen, if you didn't changed levels, it should dim like stock, right? I know about that, but I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking that when screen goes off(really off, no dim) you can still wake up phone by touching screen.
About rams, hm, I moved back to stock, so can't check real numbers, but I remember after some time it gets down to ~70-80, it doesn't get freeup, and i didn't even used much apps, regular calls,sms,gtalk, 1-2 times browser.
only after I use one of those widgets from GO(sorry don't know name, as I don't use it usually) to kill apps, it only goes to ~130.
Dear members,
coming freshly to Android and the Xperia S, I've got some questions for which I didn't find an answer, yet, and hope you can somewhat enlighten me.
The phone is LTi26, running 4.0.4, rooted on a reseller contract of Germany's D2/Vodafone.
regarding the Walkman-App, am I just to blind or noobish, or is there really no option to empty the list of currently playing tracks?
at home, I've got EDGE at best and use WiFi, but on the run, I can get 3G/UMTS. Is there a simple toggle/switcher, I can change networks with a single tap, instead of always digging through the menu?
regarding GPS, if it's off and I turn it on, there's always a window popping up, telling me costs may apply, data may be send, etc. Any way to dismiss this window forever?
is it possible to remap the camera button in certain situations? F.e., when the display is off and locked, I'd love to be able to give it a double-tap and have it turn on the camera's flash. Also, if the currently visible and active app isn't the camera app, it would be nice to use this button as a 'back'-button, so I can easily push it with my pinky.
I've read, that AMOLED displays can save power, when they display mostly dark/black colors, IIRC the Xperia S has no AMOLED, but is there a similar possibility? I'm not interested in fancy wallpapers, so it wouldn't hurt me much.
I'm currently happily using the ssLauncher in replacement of Sony's, but in the widget selection, some things don't show up, f.e. the music widget and the 'extras' (on click toggles). Is this a problem of this particular launcher and is there any way to still use them in this launcher?
I've seen a thread with a video, showing how to prick open the phone and be able to exchange the battery, but are there also compatible batteries available which feature a higher capacity?
I've installed the drobear SSHd (no links for noobs), but I'm not able to connect, it always gets a timeout. Not compatibe/config issue(client in question is my Gentoo desktop)?
Other than that, I must say, I'm currently quite pleased with this phone and Android in general. Coming from Maemo, there are still some things I'd like to be able to, but so far it's a good start and so far I'm glad, I didn't opt for the One S or the Droid.
Thanks for your help, regards,
S.D.R

While I'm at it, I'm missing FM transmit functionality, as in I had it with my old phone(N900). As far as I've read, it seems, the chip really only allows receiving in hardware, so not a fully functional module with the transmitting functionality disabled, correct? If that's the case, does someone have experience with fm transmission, as in what pieces of hardware are needed? If it's rather small, I'd love to get on of the bottom pieces, the one with the xperia writing on it, add a 3.5mm jack and the hardware and add it to the top of the phone, but I guess that's wishful thinking?!
Hello, i remember in my old phone (SE w200a black) a "Walkman Mode" (airplane mode/ flight mode but in this mode my phone only can use walkman player... Only walkman player)(Yes, yes i know do you say haha! w200 is based in Java not in android but, i explain my idea now)
What would this be?:
...This would a mode for Multimedia for less battery usage
-no signal (wifi/gps/BT/edge/gprs/hspda/3g/4g/10000000g... Nothing) ("airplane mode")
-no launcher, no others apps (except system apps), open directly the Walkman player "that can not be closed or use task switch"
-system dont open facebook/camera/sms/call/games/bloatware/... nothing in memory, except Walkman player and services/system apps.
-OC profile default in Walkman mode :
*governor: lagfree (or similar)
*Scheduler: deadline (or similar)
*min:200/max:500mhz (aprox)
In this mode you dont have interruption in the music with notifications/sms/calls & you would have less battery consumption for a more extensive use (for travels or sports or if you have less battery and you want play music more minutes/hours).
This is possible? (i beleave)
in android 4.2 you can create multiple users with personal apps and profile, wallpaper, etc.
in other android exist SwitchMe, this apk can make multiple users and profiles...
*my idea would be to create a new user and not putting on another app than the Walkman player and opens automatically without allowing close, or if not also a launcher that does not consume almost no battery and put 1 icon on the desktop (walkman player).
DEVS (Now I ask you): This is possible?
i know, i can use airplane mode+killer for apps+set oc settings... but my idea is a manner easy and more prolix (other user, or option: "reboot in walkman mode")
Sorry if i post this in incorrect section and sorry for my bad english...
Users Ideas! What the project include depends on what the developer considers most useful and possible.

↓↓↓↓↓=> it is possible if 2g can be disabled. but how to disable the other signals is "airplane mode" could not do. also in my opinion this contradicts the idea of "walkman mode", perhaps if the script or the modification to choose between 2g enabled or disabled would be better, but I repeat: [also in my opinion this contradicts the idea 'walkman mode "] without interruptions and less battery usage ... signal calls/sms/2g are constantly consuming memory and battery (for the signal and that those apps are always active)

By the way it is possible to create a script to do that though it a bit harder
But Reboot to walkman MODE perhap never ever possible unless a Kernel dev help you and one advance ROM dev help you :highfive:
I'm new dev around here , can't help much
Its possible for sure, like a toggle in Power Menu.
But difficult.

Galery dont produce a very change in battery drain (see video yes for screen on and filters... mmm). its true video+fotos in walkman mode would very useful for some users.
Walkman mode or multimedia mode? ... its is other chance.

in airplane mode 2g is not enabled, airplane disable wifi/2g/3g/4g etc (you dont have signal in airplane mode)
For the 2g is enabled or the ability to enable already would be affecting the battery consumption. apart if you only will be allowed to use the Walkman and perhaps gallery, not use to give 2g
I did not understand if you were saying to also disable 2g or permit their use in walkman mode.

this will lose the idea of not using any signal to prevent battery consumption, so the wi fi can be turned on or off but the 2g is connected exept that airplane mode is used, but also because the idea "walkman mode" would be losing . .. I put your recommendation in the post but modified.

i can remember than such a music player did existed and it was also at xda news. Well it wasnt that much advanced but it's main purspose was to save power so you could listen more time at your music. i think it was HoloMusic but now it seems to be dead.
