Custom Firmware that i really love (Xperia) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I love the REAL ICS.. I'm on r3.1 cause i am waiting for the r4 release without facebook problem..
For those who wants to try.. Why should i choose this rom:
1. Because this rom is based on official firmware of sony (jellybean)
2. If you're not a custom roms lover, you should love this rom also! (HAHA) Because it's like official firmware too, but smoother, got walkman player, etc!
3. The features and interfaces are greater than the official!

Excuse me kido.. its based on sony official ics.

How's the gaming performance of realICS?

MIUI for me
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium

The rom looks awesome, just a shame I can't install it on my locked st17i.

Ok, i flashed to ics real lite v1.1 and am using rage kernel. Its a clean install and didnt use any backups. I only restored my contacts via memory card backup and messeges via sms backup app. This is on the mini pro.
My problem is sometimes when i get a call, i get a black screen. I press the power button to turn my screen on then i unlock my screen then answer the call. When i do that i get an error bout "com.android.phone" not responding. Whenni click ok, my prone drops the call and i cant even see the caller via call log, its so frustrating. Ive read around and ppl suggested i delete a few messages from "reject call with message", but i cant find a delete command in there. Secondly, there was this suggestion about clearing the contacts cache and stuff via app manager. This only deleted my whole contact list and was never able to get it back till i did a reinstall of the rom. I dont use facebook or some other app, my setup is bone dry basic, i only use sms backup app.
I also tried using another rom, the full version of real ics v4, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated as i really like this rom.

I also got that error when flashing back to gingerbread to root it then to ICS so it shouldn't be a problem with Real ICS, I know repairing the phone fixed it one time but I also think flashing it and wiping data also worked, flashing it and not wiping didn't though.

yeah, i tried wiping dalvik, cache, format, etc. it still isnt fixed. im gonna try fixing permissions next.

Miui rom reviews

Hi guys!
I have changed rom from cm7 to miui today.
First thing i noticed is its not that much attractive or user friendly as cm7.
Im still wondering where is the app drawer???If anyone knows let me know!
Found a bug:
1-In brightness setting when i clicked custom brightness levels, phone went in loop mode.Had to reinstall the rom from cwm to get thing sorted.
2-I have kept time on "automatic" mode but rom doesnt take time from my sim operator.I have enabled all options but i think i will have to enter time manually.
The contacts menu is not as cutomizable as cm7.I dont get direct call button beside contacts names as i used to get in cm7.
It has good set of themes but theme download takes a lot of time.Server seems to be slow from where it downloads themes.
Will be posting more reviews as i use it.Dont think so i will tolerate this for more than a week!
The default MIUI launcher has no concept of an app drawer, it's like iOS in that they're all dumped on the home screen. You'll need a different launcher if you want an app drawer.
Some of the brightness issues might be caused by the fact that the original CM7/MIUI ports for the S5/V are hackports, those specific issues are expected.

Seems this ROM is bit buggy?
I installed miui rom at 8am morning and removed it at 11! thats all!
System time changed automatically. and when i called or received calls all the time it ran directly on speakerphone.(defauly option should be ear speaker).
I found it really a headache.
As we say in India, China is "CHINA"!!
Its a chinese rom and upgrade option given there to update the rom but it works in chinese language and asks for mobile verification code to register with miui.us!bUT I NEVER GOT THE CODE IN MY SMS INBOX!
Also miui rom has same ussb codes problems.google app is available though.Ididnt try ussd fix via cwm coz i really didnt like the rom.
Back to cm7...its the best and i thank the cm team for providing such a great rom.
USSD codes are broken on ALL S5/V GB roms if you dont apply the USSD fix, which apparently wasnt included in this rom.
It's due to all GB based roms reusing the dell stock drivers (which the USSD handling code lives in)
CM7 is also affected by it, I dont remember offhand if the V one has the fix included, but the original S5 one definitely didnt.
i used MIUI rom and i could reduce brightness in settings and it didnt FC...the only problem i found in CM7 and MIUI is the clock...even after i set the time it goes faster than it should go...those r the only problems i faced...now cant do anything with phone as it doesnt boot after showing dell logo...the logo disappears and dont know what happens...need help pls
I have been using MIUI on my Venue for two weeks now. Had stock Froyo rom before.
I have not experienced any of the issues reported in this thread.. not even the time creep.
Here's how I updated to MIUI.
1. Install Olleh 408 recovery (available here)
2. Install Olleh 408 update package (available here)
Note: rename this file to update.pkg and copy to your SD card's root.
3. install CWM recovery
4. wipe cache, user data, dalvik cache & Battery stats
5. install miui zip
reboot.
By the way, folks here using CM7... can you mute your phone during a call? also, do you experience any calls made or received where the other party could not hear you?

Yes we cant mute the calls,
Even if we mute the other party can hear us.
And the second issue is 1/10 where the other party cant hear you clearly or atall. But second time call solves the problem.
We need a workaround on the above two issues.

Mute issue is only with CM7...Mute works in miui. Other party can't hear you issue is on all miui and cm roms for streak 5 as well. Since They share kernel base...(kang/dsc/olleh)..I am pretty sure its kernel related.
Sent from my Dell Venue using Tapatalk 2
Is there any better kernel that we can use?
any workaround?
guys try the new roms posted in the CM7 and MIUI for dell venue thread...it is posted towards the end of the thread...better updates than what is originally posted...i tried both the roms it works fine for me...

[Q] Rooted Xperia S (2.3.7) upgrade to rooted 4.0??

UPDATE 21 Oct 2012:
Hi guys, I have good news. As I finally decided to bite the bullet and break the ice by flashing with flashtool from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 ICS I have no problems anymore now!!
Before flashing I wisely backed up my contacts and apps. And for flashboot mode I UNCHECKED all Wipe data and only checked "no final verification check"
and flashed 4.0.4. Afterwards reboot I discovered that ALLL my data retained, everything including all game saves. Only a little bit personal customization.
To summarize what problems I have solved now:
1. No more freezing during games! and force me to reboot!
2. When reboot no more application NOT found issue!
3. After unchecking all but USB connection in developers option, I have not a single lag and home menu refres issue (my lesson: never check any unneccesary things in developers option)
4. And I feel a little bit less battery consuming.
5.. All with new functions and widgets.
Oh I totally love my Xperia S with 4.0.4 ICS. Thanks for all the time and patience and advise from you guys~~ Xperia all the way!
Cheers!
Hi Guys, I hve some questions regarding my phone, and I hope anyone could give me the right answers.
First what I have is:
- Xperia S (LT26i)
- Android 2.3.7
- Build number: 6.0.A.3.73
- Rooted & unlocked bootloader
1) As I have bought the phone in May 2012, and have rooted it since then.
I know the Gracenote thing (DRM keys) are lost, so that Im not able to use "sens me channel" to downloadl music info
(Track ID does work though). Im not able to restore this function anymore right?...
2) I have the official update notification on the phone for a few months already. As I have many apps and games (like 100+), I never found the courage and confidence to upgrade, because Im afraid I will lose data and game saves after update.
But Im a noob in this; IS it even possible for a ROOTED 2.3.7 to upgrade to a official 4.0 via PCC? or do I need to use Flashtool or something? I really dont know about this..
3) I do have Titanium backup and can backup apps and their saves too. If I CAN upgrade via official way (as Im currently unoffcialy rooted & bootloader unlocked), will I lose my date if done via offcial way? If i CANNOt upgrade via official way (as im root + unlocked), and must use flastool, will I lose date if done via flashtool?
4) Lastly, even I love my phone it as many problems nowadays like: often freezes when playing bigger games like Reckless racing, Radiant Defense (which is not even big).. better said certain games, when playing a long time, the device ofcourse gets hot and will eventually freeze, I can do nothing but only reset and restart the phone by pressing power-button+volume up for a few seconds..
The annoying thing is, my frequency of freezing and restarting is nowdays at least once each day or 2 days. as long as i play games..and sometimes even when browsing my favorite forum website....
and THEN after restart I often, really often have APPLICATION NOT FOUND issue, which means I have to restart again or reload the SD card using "reload SD card APP" which is also really really annoying.
I mean the freezing is the most annoying as it forces me to RESTART and then the application not found appears randomly on my installed apps (mostly only games) AND i have to reinstall (overwrite) the app in order to have the app back.
If I dont need to restart I wont have that problem. My problem here is; do I really need to upgrade to 4.0 to solve these 2 big problems?
Anyone knows about these 2 issues on Gingerbread? ...
I really need help & advise for above things... as I really want to not lose data but to see my 2 freeze & app not found problems is getting more annoying day by day... I really dont know what to do anymore..........:crying:
If you don't wipe data you don't have to worry. To be sure you can flash a ics rom with flashtool unchecking the "wipe data" option. Then, you can use this to root it again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
or flash a custom kernel.

if you have unlocked BL it will give you an error
so, you have to relock it or flash with flashtool

ok I understand that I would need relock or flash with flashtool.
What im afraid is, will I lose stuff when relocking? will my root apps (titanium backup, market unlocker etc) be not working again until I root again?
Also what will happen if I reflash ith with flash tool? even if I choice UNCHECK wipe stuff, will it not give me other problems like uncompatiblity? I know I have lots of questions but this is really due to no experience and not wanting to lose stuff.
But now I come up with this is due to nowdays my Xperia S running on GB 2.3.7 freezes often during gaming which forces me to REBOOT and after each reboot I mostly get APP not found issue. and to solve that I need to reboot again or reload sD card OR reinstall that app.
This all together makes me go sad and mad...therefore my noob questions .....
has anyone had this before and could help with advise how and what to do ?...

Omega rom v44.4 crashing

Hello,
I just updated omega 44.3 to 44.4 and the problem still persist. The problem is that there is no sound when i get an sms only vibration...(the problem started today). Even if i rebot the phone it doesnt help.
And when i try to acces the settings for sms messages it wont let me. it just freezes up the phone and after a few seconds it gives me an error that "messages has crashed". And i cant seem to find a way to get the ringtones for my messages up as i cant get into the settings... And also when i try to acces winamp shoutcast feature it freezes up the phone and after a few seconds i get an error that winamp has crashed (winamp is working fine btw. only the shoutcast feature isnt working). i didnt get these errors when i was on stock.
Other than that the ROM is working much faster than stock it just randomly crashes sometimes. like the galery crashes alot.
How is with the errors on 43.3 is it more stable?
and if i want to downgrade from 44.4 to 43.4 do i have to do a full wipe?
Any help would be appreciated.

First of all, did you do a full wipe before upgrading or flashing 44.3? Even if you did a full wipe did you restore your messages and other with TB? If you did that - that is where your problem begin. You wrote that you had problem with that version even before flashing 44.4 and I assume that you didn't do a full wipe before upgrade from 44.3 to 44.4. That versions of Omega are based on leaked Samsung FW and it could have bugs.
If you plan to flash 43.4 you must do a full wipe. That version of Omega is based on official Samsung FW and it is definitely more stable than 44.x versions.

i did a full wipe when i installed v 44.3 and it was all normall except a few crashes of the gallery facebook music player winamp and so on.
The problem with the sms accoured today and i did not install any new apps or so it just happened i have no idea why the ringtone for sms is gone and i cant acces settings for messages as it crashes... i tought that installing the v 44.4 would fix this but the problem is still there.
I ll just have to make a full wipe again and install omega 43.4 and see if it fixes the problem. If not i ll have to go back to stock...
thanksssssssssss

[Q] Flash Player Issue

I need some help. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1.115.69) installed on my stock (rooted/unlocked) Verizon Note 2.
On some videos (that are not a mobile version or through the video player) I get this issue where the sound works fine, but the video is completely messed up. It looks like a bunch of colored lines. The lines move as the video goes along. I don't know what to make of it because it only happens on some videos. Also, this has happened with every version of Flash that I have ever tried (which is all of them, as far as I know) with this device. Anyone else have this problem? In any case, can someone on a stock Verizon Note 2 please go to the page below and try and watch the movie? The lines problem has happened every time I have gone to that page and tried to watch the movie, both on the stock browser and with Dolphin Browser. I attached a screenshot of what happens below.
http://viooz.co/movies/19479-monster...sity-2013.html
Any help regarding how to fix this would be most appreciated!
By the way, that movie is an excellent sequel to the first Monsters Inc. and I recommend it.
(And there is no need to freak out about not paying to watch the movie; I am planning to purchase it for my Nephew in the near future.)

I would venture to say that the problem is the site not flash. So far I haven't run across this problem. Try clean wiping and re-flashing. Also what stock rooted ROM are you running?
Hey. Most likely if you are running stock verizon bloated touchwiz, verizon likes to include a file/apk that is hidden that blocks flash player. To get rid of this you generally have to be rooted. After rooted you can either install a custom rom (any will do) OR if you want to stay stock you can use titanium back up and browse through your list off applications. You will noticed a "flash disable" application in red or something like that. Selected it and uninstall it. Once you do that you should have the flash player working properly.

It has happened to me on far too many sites for it to be their fault. I am on 4.1.1 I605VRALJB. I haven't updated my phone since I bought it in December (bad experiences with updates from Motorola). While this problem is frustrating, I don't think I want to wipe my phone just yet.

What are the names of the apps? you might have frozen the app that runs flash which you want, and then youll have also frozen the app that blocks flash, so over all do you have no flash? (I dont know exacly im just speculating now from what ive read youve done)
edit: maybe try some simple things first, use yet another browser, such as nakedbrowser- its fast and flash works great in it. i would say maybe try unistalling then reinstalling flash, to a newer version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190346 i forget its not on playstore anymore. mines currently at 11.1.115.48

The names of the apps are:
com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService (v1.0)
and
FlashAnnotate (v0.8.6) and FlashAnnotateSvc (v0.8.4)
I tried that browser and it still had the problem, both with that version of Flash and the newest one. I think I'll need to re-flash eventually.. I was hoping to avoid it.

yeah ok well thats where my knowledge really ends as to what might be happening.
I understand your hesitation, but if flash is a thing you really want then that alone could be a reason to update. I have not had or seen any instability, or experienced any glitchyness myself and I have also only stuck to the touchwiz roms (simply personal preference). 4.1.2 on this device, well there isnt anything to fear, no getting burned here. lots o great roms to check out.

ok I havent really worried about flash i guess on the custom roms there must be some libraries or plugins or something to have flash fully functional.
Make a full nandroid back up of what your on now. Im not 100% positive but if you want you can then just flash back to 4.1.1. Make sure you restore with the same version of the custom recovery you backed up with if you want to go baack.
You should probably also search that question. I believe it has been answered several times. I might have seen it in passing.

Make a full nandroid back up of what your on now. Im not 100% positive but if you want you can then just flash back to 4.1.1. Make sure you restore with the same version of the custom recovery you backed up with if you want to go baack.
You should probably also search that question. I believe it has been answered several times. I might have seen it in passing.

Right, because the backup backups the OS as well as your phone memory. That has always boggled my mind. So I could just restore that and be good.
One last question: When installing this update, I probably don't want to be unlocked, right? I know I can temporarily unroot so no problem there.

yes your nandoid will save the image of your system and data(if thats what you mean by phone memory) so youll restore you to that state.
no if your bootloader unlocked and all that, leave it. I recommend looking over droidstyle guide too, i usually do every now and again just to refresh my mind. You can simply flash a stock 4.1.2 rom check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387635 so look for one that is basically untouched except for being rooted and unlocked still. You can also try out any 4.1.2 rom too
Nah, jumping between threads is fun!
But seriously, is it completely necessary to factory reset before flashing that?

Yup. Sorry for late resposnse. So um id suggest if you havent don anything yet. Update to latest recovery proabaly twrp since 8ts easy to use and it seems to be the most versatile (but some customs roms prefer clockwork) then back up efs modem boot system data for a full image of your 4.1.1 so you can be fully backed up. Then do the factory data reset wipe cache and dalvik in recovery after. Af6er wipe then flash rom.
Since you are rooted, you can download the latest version of flash and run it from the stock browser. Chrome has issues with it. I prefer the stock browser as it does exactly what Chrome does but with flash support. And I would suggest atleast upgrading to a 4.1.2 rom. There were alot of bug fixes between the 2.
I'm pleased to report that I flashed that 4.1.2 ROM and the flash player issue is gone.
I was pleasantly surprised to see my sdcard0 remain untouched after I wiped data from custom recovery.

I need some help. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1.115.69) installed on my stock (rooted/unlocked) Verizon Note 2.
On some videos (that are not a mobile version or through the video player) I get this issue where the sound works fine, but the video is completely messed up. It looks like a bunch of colored lines. The lines move as the video goes along. I don't know what to make of it because it only happens on some videos. Also, this has happened with every version of Flash that I have ever tried (which is all of them, as far as I know) with this device. Anyone else have this problem? In any case, can someone on a stock Verizon Note 2 please go to the page below and try and watch the movie? The lines problem has happened every time I have gone to that page and tried to watch the movie, both on the stock browser and with Dolphin Browser. I attached a screenshot of what happens below.
Any help regarding how to fix this would be most appreciated!
By the way, that movie is an excellent sequel to the first Monsters Inc. and I recommend it.
(And there is no need to freak out about not paying to watch the movie; I am planning to purchase it for my Nephew in the near future.)

Flash Player Issue
I think the problem lies with the website. Viooz.co is full of malwares and other viruses. I hate those pop up ads which just pop out on just one click.
There are many websites which you can rely upon :

Iced Bean 4.0 Feedback

Hi
I was using the previous version of Iced Bean and liked it a lot. However after only one month it became slow. Seeing that a new version was available, I flashed 4.0 on my Xperia Ray with a stock kernal. The ROM has several new features and I liked it a lot. But there were a few bugs that I would like to report here for the developer and in case anyone knows an easy fix for them.
The telephone icon disappears regularly. Fancy features are fine, but easily using the device as a phone is a must
The ROM became very laggy almost immediately after installing my favorite apps. Rebooting did not help and there is pleanty of free space on the phone and on the SD
The internet browser crashes a lot. This was also a problem in the previous version.
I can not turn off 180 degree rotation of the screen. For me, this alone is almost a deal-breaker.
I hope this message will be found by the appropriate people. :fingers-crossed:

Seeing as you are under the number of required posts to post in the Development section, here are some steps/suggestions that may help:
Re-flash the firmware (FTF)
Install a recommended (if there is) kernel
Enter the recovery menu
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Install ROM
Waiting for a few minutes for the ROM to settle. There usually won't be any issues if you have performed the procedure mentioned above.

Thanks for the reply. I tried these steps already and have moved on to another ROM.
Perhaps there was an issue with my phone in particular or a problem with compatibility with one of the apps I like.
