Sorry as would be done to put in a Ray Xperia bootloader locked, sorry for my bad English ..
If i flash this rom, will i be able to update via pc companion after?
i am so f*cking sick of trying custom roms, nearly every ics rom has problems with a lot of 3d games (**** you, google!!!!), some gb roms have problems with this and that and this and that and so on.
i really like this rom because of its slickness. but WHAT A SURPRIIIISE, of course there's an ugly thing too, i CANT BUY STUFF ON google play via my phone bill.
im so pissed off right now, i'm on the best way to hate android in a very special way. because i got my phone for about a month now and there was not a single rom that satisfied me in every single way / works more than a week without showing (big?) flaws.
i really understand those iphone-people now, "one OS for a few devices, everythings stable and so on".
thats just not possible with android. if you wanna go "beyond" stockrom and stockapps, it doesnt take too long and your F+CKED! happy reinstalling!!
keyboard is not working for me, can please somebody help
this is best GB rom for me. very fast, smooth and good battery life.
Tks

Well if you can afford to buy an iPhone then buy one, but you'll be bored by not having to customise it
I'm guessing you haven't tried the hybrid yet, look for JJdoctor
I have tried every single rom for the Sony Xperia Ray, and this old Gingerbread rom from JJDoctor is by a long way the slickest one for the Ray. ICS is a bit slow for the Sony Ray with the hardware available understandably, but this gblite rom really flies, and you can easily make it look like ICS by downloading ADW launcher and then downloading the ICS theme for free.

I tried it because of your post and I won't go back to ICS in a while. But I have problem with the keyboard. It force closes
p.s. lol I unchecked my native language and it worked
Download a keyboard from google play, you can get ICS or stock gingerbread keyboards, most are free too.

Yeah I figured it out but at first I couldn't enter into my profile therefore I couldn't use Google Play
p.s. which baseband should I use ? I think mobile data is not working
I think they recommend baseband 58 but I am using the latest baseband 72, which seems to be the best upto now. The other basebands and even this one a little bit are awful to use as wifi hotspots, every so often there is a long pause where the mobile internet data connection refuses to do anything, I find it really frustrating.
So the problems are mobile data and MTP everything else is perfect.

Any advice on mobile data?
How to Flash Zip?
I've tried flashing the zip numerous times (via CWM using the 'install zip from SDcard' option) and my (Xperia Ray/GB 2.3.4/locked BL) phone keeps getting completely stuck at the 'Sony' part of the bootup sequence.. Can anyone help me out?
Would like to see this ROM in action.. :/

Hey
Can anybody recommend a stable and fast vanilla 2.1 ROM for the Hero?
I've tried Vanillain but found it to be quite laggy and FC'ing.
If not, can anybody suggest any 2.1 ROM I can use and just disable SenseUI?
Thanks
kie.
Im in search for this also. Currently using latest ahero but im not satisfied. Best vanilla rom I've tried is aychteesee but that's 1.5 it is fast as hell. Every 2.1 rom i tried is laggy as hell.

Exactly the same for me,,, I like Vanilla but agree, the 1.5 makes it not an option for me.... please can someone help us ??????
I'm sure we'll see some good vanilla 2.1 ROMs once HTC releases the 2.1 kernel source. Of course, that could take forever.
To be honest, the best "workaround" I have found is to use a 2.1 ROM and disable Sense UI.
I have been using Legendary recently using this method, the battery life is second best to any other ROM I have tried but it is very laggy and annoying to use. I find that AutoKiller shows a lot of processes running which can be stopped. This does speed the handset up alot, but say you close the People application, then open it again, it takes a while to show contacts.
I am literally going back to SenseHero 1.6 as we speak because 2.1 ROMs arn't great at the moment, and I will be disabling SenseUI, seems to use alot of resources and slows the phone down a bit.
For people who want to disable SenseUI...
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > SenseUI and click Clear Defaults. Press the Home button and then choose Home (you can also tick the box to use Home as the default Launcher)
BTW, I am quite new to android so any other advice would be cool, like what can actually be done with a rooted handset? I have failed to see any benefits yet (apart from an unlock)...

The best 2.1. IMO is Villain 3.4
As mentioned I've disabled sense and installed helix launcher.... I've tried all the roms, but 3.4 gives me the speed I need and most important, everything works.
The absolut very best rom is "SenseHero2.1" from "Stickman" (or try the 1.6 version, also still available)
its: FAST, STABLE, GOOD LOOKING, and WORKS!

I have to agree that this rom is very veruy good,.... only problem is the vanilla lockscreen
Every ROM on 2.1 i tried is very slow compared to the fastest 1.5 there is like aychteesee. And disabling sense is only changing the homescreen i like vanilla everywhere
Personally, I use Fresh 2.0d rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643034
My advice is to update your recovery console to RA 1.6.2 (check version for your phone first at the site) .. found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
Once you're RA is up to date, use the utiilities in the RA console to do a nandroid back up of your o/s, then wipe system and existing partition, repartition your sd card and convert ext2 to ext3. It will only take a minute to do all of that.. its really easy. Then flash Fresh rom and check his site for standard sprint apps if you want to install them. The rom has auto a2sd if you're interested in having your apps stored and run from your sd card. It didnt work on mine until I went into the recovery and manually flashed the as2d program using Darktremor A2sd 2.6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
After that, it worked great (at least for me it did). Pretty much everything works on the rom with the exception of live wallpaper, you can add it but then the weather animations wont work so its one or the other based on what you prefer. They have a fix for the lock screen as well but it has 3 different options based on alarm preferences. Other than that, I found it to be fast, functional and fun. Definitely better than any other rom I've used so far and about the closest you'll get right now to anything resembling an official 2.1 rom. Just remember to make that nandroid backup of your o/s before you do anything in case you don't like the rom (which I doubt will happen).
Best of luck guys!
another vote for fresh 2.0d, ran so much faster than the sprint 1.5 i had even after i removed all the bloatware.
would any one take up on this and make a rom that less than 100 mb in size no bloat not even voice callin ? no voice search no gallery nakid rom , i would like a rom that i have to install everything on my ownn instead havin thing preloaded by devs ?
Do it yourself, beggers can't be choosers

but i9000 have sanitary rom which is nakid and we dont i dont know how to cook roms im a constructioon worker let it stay this way
when i release a room your phone will turn in to a vaccum , no wannit that right ? p
Go download a stock rom and delete everything you don't want from the .zip before you flash it.
o yeah and boot my phone up to tons of FORCE CLOSE ? no thanks if it was that eeasy i would do it .
just download any rom you want go into data/app and delete everything in there and then go into system/app and delete everything in there and then you got yourself a rom with no apps at all
i did that and rom wouldnt even iinstall from clockwork would get stuck on install bar that wouldnt even go anywhere
I slimmed down Loki as much as possible, 110Mb. More apps could be removed, but some are necessary for the phone to even start.
yup im slimind Loki 1-2 rom down but after deletin something i would get status bar but no desktop not sure what i removed maybe fonts.apk thats why

no bionix is not slimed down to minimum , i guess u never seen slimed rom to minimum go to i9000 and look up

Why not use Sonofskywalker's Blackhole ROM? You can put only what you want in it.
becasue is outdated ?
Since Android 2.3 has been out for a while now, Froyo is outdated, yet we still all use it.
I know people who still use Windows XP, and it's almost eleven years old.
Just because it's older doesn't mean it's useless.
You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time?
how about using one of the ROM cooker tools posted here? You know a minimized ROM doesn't save you any RAM, there's a minimum allocated RAM requirement on the Vibrant...
Bionic v may not be the minimalist but it is the blazingest rom to grace this planet.

Dear all,
as I think owain is rather busy with the honeycomb experiences (at least that's what I would do in his place), I created a ROM from 3.2.0, 3.2.1 and MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta1 (6.1) ROMS to provide some updates.
This is for the MINI PRO for certain (honestly I didn't look into the differences on the file level and try to create something for the mini aswell).
Also worth to note, I have no experience in Android development at all, but has 10+ years of dev experience, so this helped somewhat.
(Owain, if you read this I hope this doesn't belong to what you wrote in 00banner, just wanted to help a little).
Contents:
- Everything up to 3.2.1 from owain
- Detect ext3/4 partitions and mount as such - from nobodyAtall (should be ok now)
- 2.3.3 market - from nobodyAtall, no forced closes (TESTED)
- Ubuntu fonts for readability (credits go to the original author)
- sysctl tweaks (by anon67)
- Tried to fixed the FM radio, but it's a FC for me after the initial screen appears and bluetooth is switched on... - based on owain & nobodyAtall's work
- put back ADW Launcher (as in 3.1)
It still suffers from 'SD blabla' and reboot, if you disconnect from VPN, close root explorer, etc. - generally if you mess around with something that is related to rooting or root rights; couldn't find the root cause with no experience, sorry. Otherwise it's stability is like the previous ones (did not test much, but should be).
Installation with xRecovery, standard procedure (see owain's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961783)
The rom is here (updated, fixed somewhat): http://rapidshare.com/files/451337572/cyan321b_fixed.zip
I also fixed the honeycomb theme which is here: http://rapidshare.com/files/451243627/honeycomb_fixed.zip
Credits should all go the original authors and owners.
Some things worth to note maybe (described 1000x times already, but):
- Switch GPS off, if you don't need it (it is on by default)
- Long press any text input field and select 'Android keyboard' for input method, if you cannot type uppercase
- Press BLUE+Sym and space for special characters
- etc.
Thanks a lot,
arch
But...
Maybe also worth noting that as a novice I might made some errors that has the effect that something won't work that worked before... so use it at your own risk.
Thanks, arch
LaunchPro force close
Thanks a ****ing lot mate!
Will post this in original thread when im home also credits to you ofc
I didn't really got much time for it really busy on HoneyComb GingerBread and MIUI
And this isn't what mike and i meant in the 00banner
Just that people dont install the rom on other devices
As you saw (i'm pretty sure you did read the script) it wont even work on a other devices lol
Again thanks alot
Owain

Hey Owain,
don't trust me so much, I think it's a lot better to check what nobodyAtall did in the last days and not look into this one... It's just some homebrew stuff, that is maybe useful for others.
Good luck with all the thousand ROMs you develop! Don't forget to finish one of those
Thanks again, good luck,
arch

Thanks for responding, tried another couple of times. Miren, skyfire and stock, as android, chrome and iphone ids. Not to worry will try again when the desktops running in a few days
Just downloaded a 101 MB file.
Downloading fine here.
Thanks !
Good to see that atleast someone incorporated the sysctl tweaks (it was honestly not mine , but i figured out the configs which is required , if you have sysctl in the init , then you dont need the app but only the configs).
I got a bit confused (please dont scold me ;-) ) , how is this ROM different from the one owain has posted ? I think FM still does FC on this one ? Please help me understand.
And yes , one more system app which i came about in this XDA forum itself (and in market) . although in beta state is SuperPower (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807989). I am yet to try it out (did try it out on the Gingerbread ROM - CM7 ) but had issues in it. Did not try it out on CM 6 ROM.
Thanks again !
Edit : OK i now get what all are the differences ... will try it out surely
Good to see someone continuing to develop 2.2 for the mini pro.
Might be a little bit off topic, but if i build android 2.2 from source and flash it, what are the chances it will even boot?
In the honeycomb theme could you change the color of the font in the notification slide because white on white it is impossible to read
Thank you
Many thanks for this upgrade try this one out
and of cource
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

if you got right vendor and such thing and mini pro tweaks it will boot xD
if you don't what im talkign about now i will not boot lol
Great job, many thanks!!!
Synchronization with Appbrain works?
Looks good so far !
so far the ROM looks good and working well (apart from su related reboots and FM FC's ) .
One peculiar thing observed also (although reported before in the owain's original thread) is that if you have moves app's to SD card , sometimes you see same application appearing twice in your App list . Kind of gives a weird feeling.
Not sure if this is a feeling , but if you change the notification bar setting to not show battery charge % , it seems that the battery charge lasts longer. Maybe its a psychological effect .

I guess i should try, I would like a clean base for 2.2.1, I think that using the cyanogenmod image for the hero might be the wrong approach.
As long as I can just get it to boot. Good thing that bricking the mini pro is more or less impossible. With a locked bootloader, I can always rely on SEUS.
These tweaks you are talking about, could you share that information?
Hello, i'm new here and running this ROM flawlessly. I'm using adw launcher right and thinking about change it back to launcher pro or other. Do you know how to change adw to launcher-pro?

I think OP is in learning phase... Everyone starts with those little mods and gradually gets better and makes new inventions... None is born developer...
Do you even realize that he might have spent hours of trial and error ?...
During this time he might have flashed the ROM atleast 10 times to make sure it looks good and attractive so that users can enjoy a new thing...
All washed by your unthankful comment more like a slap...

YOu can flash Kernels by flash tools ..
In forum there is already a topic about flashing kernel. But i say fastly. Phone - settings - Applications - Developing - USB Debugging active then
Download flash tools - open it - connect your phone by usb - Click flash - fastboot mode - left upside have restart Fastboot mode and then see the phone light get blue and click flash kernel and choose the kernel you donwload and when you see flashed it s ok ...
Hello everyone,
There have been some time that new ICS firmware for Neo L is posted, and over time i manage to get a collection of patches that enable Xperia Play's touchpads.
Thread that i found it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189311 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176936
Since no one posted it as flashable zip, i guess i could do it.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8eMrl6yvYKyQXl2ZVdCWVJTcWM/edit?usp=sharing
I had to make compatible with Lupus ICS/GB V4 Kernel (system less then 280MB), so that means i had taken some apps from /system/app to /data/app (on the bright side, apps in data can all be deleted, for debloating purposes)
It should be compatible with other ICS stock kernels, but i didn't test it
Screenshots are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38841129&postcount=57
Credits for touchpad fix goes to Markpython for editing framework.res and framework.jar
I must say big THANKS to Wedges,Doomlord and CosmicDan's for their work on our's Play's kernel :good:
And ofcorse thank to other developers and chefs here on XDA forum for their work :victory:
Update1:
-Thanks @smokerman, for making a video of this ROM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjnw55pfX18
-This ROM is compatible with Lupus ICS/GB kernel V5, now it have 30MB of free space in system partition

Thread that i found it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189311 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176936
Since no one posted it as flashable zip, i guess i could do it.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8eMrl6yvYKyQXl2ZVdCWVJTcWM/edit?usp=sharing
I had to make compatible with Lupus ICS/GB V4 Kernel (system less then 280MB), so that means i had taken some apps from /system/app to /data/app (on the bright side, apps in data can all be deleted, for debloating purposes)
It should be compatible with other ICS stock kernels, but i didn't test it
Screenshots are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38841129&postcount=57
Credits for touchpad fix goes to Markpython for editing framework.res and framework.jar
I must say big THANKS to Wedges,Doomlord and CosmicDan's for their work on our's Play's kernel :good:
And ofcorse thank to other developers and chefs here on XDA forum for their work :victory:

What is the performance of this ICS Rom?
Whether in games & applications usuaro interface?
has some kind of mistake, or is completely stable?? the touchpad 100% functional for games, as in gingerbread ..?
I am very curious .. I think I'll give it a try ...

Touchpads are compatible as any other ICS ROM, but i don't think it's perfect as in gingerbread.
Antutu score is around 4500 to 5500OC.
All phone functions works (GSM at leats). I mean, it don't have much features like other ROMS, but what it have, it works 100%
So far i didn't find any bugs (if there are any, it is most likely due my attempts to make a ROM out of Firmware files :laugh: )
As i see it, it is good ROM base-starter. To be modified, when deodexed... (this one is still odexed)
FInally as u promise a stock ics wthout fancy heavy apps.
Downloading now, let's see...
Edit: 2 things:
-why the quick google search bar doesn't do anything if i click on it?
-The system apps in /data/apps maked kinda messed up settings, but u could erase some usless stuff (like Wisipilot or Mc Afee) , like the guy before me wrote: "To be modified, when deodexed... (this one is still odexed)"

-google search is moved to data/app, maybe that's why it's not working
-Apps can be deleted from zip file before flashing (open with winrar/winzip and delete apk that you don't like/use , or later after flashing from launcher or PC (i use android commander for mass install/uninstall > http://androidcommander.com/

(google search is fine now, dont know why dont earlier)
Of course i know , but my point is that it would be nice having all those apps in system/app like in original rom. And in the same time u can erase some useless stuff (McAfee, etc etc)

I know what you mean, but as i said, the point of this "ROM" is to be as close as flashing FTF. I don't consider this as "my" ROM, it is for everyone else to download/look/edit/compare and this thread can be used for discution about mods that can be done with this rom...
My idea was to have stock ICS from Neo L that work on Play (with touchpads)
And i had problems with system size (system+vendor partition on FTF is much larger, around 340MB, and it hardly be squeezed to 280MB, to be compatible With Lupus ICS/GB V4)
I did some changes based on this for my personal use, and i'll upload that version tommorow as "my" ROM tommorow (upload speed sux for me)
Ps: as i said before, stock ROMs are always bloated

OK i understand your point of view.
Anyway, i reboot just to be sure and...well there's definitely something wrong with wi-fi. It's incredibly slow.

Maybe I spoke too soon, wait. Maybe it is me after all.
By the way, thank u. I always wanted a simple "original" stock ics for our Xperia Play. Why no one never ever did it?

So everything works here?
I basically just use my phone for N64oid, gameboid, Real Racing 3 and a lot of music and social networks (Instagram, Twitter, Face). So I don't care too much about touchpads unless I install a game like Fifa12 or Dead Trigger. But the problem I always have with all the ICS I've tested is that games like Real Racing 3 always closes (because of RAM).
Found a bug, the same on True Ancestor so i'm just gonna link it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40423492&postcount=118
Yeah, everything should work, only bug so far is double-tab opening when startint browser from bookmark shorctcut (as DanyXP said). Maybe it's firmware fault, i'll check afternoon on flashed FTF.
As for free RAM, you can use 480p version of kernel, it gives 30MB extra free RAM, at cost of lower resolution at video recording (i personaly can't see the difference, and for me, 720p version recording is look like upscale of 480p recording)
I don't have real racing 3, and most RAM intensive game that i played was SIMS freeplay

Guess what, i just checked on a Xperia Mini Pro with stock official ICS, no root, nothing modified and...the bug browser is here as well!
This Xperia Mini Pro has 4.1.B.0.587 but Hybrid Rom use the same build and has no bugs. How is that?

Thanks for info, it means it's firmware's bug. And i notice it's not just shortcut, it open two tabs from every aplication that have links who open browser (Timescape and XDA, for example).
Ps: Well, Krisdee is great dev, i'm sure he fix that bug.

4. Install Terminal Emulator and type the following:
HTML Code:
su (press enter)
bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService (press enter)
(exit terminal)
5. Go back to settings, under backup & reset options and check the box for backup, and select your account.
6. Take care

I have no idea why it's working in Krisdee's ROM and why it's not working in SE official firmware...
But it's just small bug. Not so important IMHO
This don't help?
