I bought Mini pro 2 weeks ago. After trying to flash all the kernel, custom rom in Development box. In my opinion :
1) Kernel:
- All KRSH, Boof, Rage ... are fine. Who care CPU overclock should flash KRSH but I don't know why KRSH without wifi module and anoying to add wlan module after flash.
- Boof: is fine with .62 FW, CWM still version 4 but enough for everyone who just need root and CWM.
btw, all kernel to use volume back but boof use power button to enter CWM.
- Kernel build in CM7: work fine, but why don't use the unique Kernel for all CM version ?
2) Custom Rom
Still now, I can not say there is a good custom rom for me.
- Hybrom v11: boot loop right away at the first time install. with all kernel, I tried.
- CM9: many errors, people already noticed.
- CM7.x: simple, fast but without google app (market, maps, email...) I tried all the market apk but can not work, stop when add account then exit.
it's seem like CM want everybody to forget android is not from Google.
Finally
All I need is simple rom with basic funtion, long beterry life. So I choose original stock and Titanium backup to uninstall stock app. Mini pro become faster and smooth.
SE give mini pro little batterry but many many game, syn, SE app combine in system. wft.
In future I intend to buy Xperia Ion or Xperia S, if stock rom like this, Im sure to optimize again.
How about you?
Hi, regarding cm7 rom, i tried 7.1.0.2 and it bootlooped (as noticed elsewhere, in development section i think), but 7.1.0.1 worked fine incl. gapps. Some problems with keyboard (no lights) and soft buttons (too bright backlight), but sorted out using some config tweaking.
Hi, for gapps incl I try this way:
extract CM 7.2..zip file, add Google app into system/app/ then zip again. I found that Android Market (veding.apk) need google service framework, patner, sync.. apk to run normal.
As u mentioned 7.1.0.2 boot loop, I met too.

Acording to wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide , you should install gapps (download zip from cyanogenmod dl page) using ClockWork Recovery, right after installing ROM. Worked just fine.
I am looking to install the Resurrection Remix ics v1.4[4.0.4] rom onto my phone which is currently running stock LPQ 4.0.3 (it is also rooted). I am wandering if i install Resurrection Remix ics v1.4 do i also have to install the siyah kernel or will the rom already come with its own kernel? I also am wondering can i install the black theme for the rom right after i install the rom and the gapps or does the phone first have to rebot and does this theme work for 1.4 because the file name says black theme apps for 1.2?
The rom comes with own kernel, the siyah kernel is optionally, i personally didn't like the siyah kernel on Ressurection, becuse of the battery life and some few bugs....I highly recommend the thoravukk kernel...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574672
Install rom first, then gapps, reboot...let the device do its thing and then reboot into recovery again and install the black theme...
I say stick with the Stock Kernel

Hello, guys. I'm a newbie at this forum. Can you point me to some issues of RR 1.4?
1. I'm using RR 1.4 on my Galaxy S2. It is the great rom, but... Is it possible to set storage for camera to use? I used this feature on 1.0 to store my photos and videos on sdcard. But on 1.4 I haven't found appropriate setting in settings menu of the camera.
2. RR 1.4 doesn't install MMS.apk file during the flashing. There is no icon for SMS/MMS application in Apex Laucher dock. You need to install mms.apk file manually after flashing. Seems that it is an issue.
3. FmRadio and SoundRecorder applications are missed in applications list. I see them in /system/app folder but can't run. Also I can't install them manually.
Does anyone faced with the same problems?
I love this v1.4 all the features are great.
However i have a problem, i have backup all the contacts via titanium in v1.1 but i can restore them in v1.4. Please help : D

The most common reason for having issues like that is not following the instructions for flashing the ROM. It's harsh I know, but, flash it again - this time by the book and you'll have no problems. 1.4 works like a charm for me, Sound rec. and FmRadio are not included in this ROM and there is no option to choose storage on the camera apk.

That's odd, maybe you can try clearing dalvik from recovery and fix permissions. If that doesn't fix the issue, and you can - reflash it and follow the instructions. Maybe it's a bug, but I don't have it so...

Yep, I have the boot animation.zip you can download from here
http://www.mediafire.com/?yypcbzvrzjzgfgk
using root explorer app, first remove the current bootanimation.zip which is in system/media, put it somewhere for safe keeping. Then replace it with the downloaded .zip. You will have to change the folder from R/O (read only) to R/W (read write) which is in the top right corner. Remember to remove the current boot animation.zip from the /media folder otherwise it won't work.

Hi,
Recently I have installed ICS Pureness Custom ROM (build 14, SP1) on Stock Kernel of Sony Ericsson. Installation goes well and its installed. Overall, What I wanted I got that in this room, like less internal memory consumption, RAM managment, etc.
But there are some issues which I faced, and they are:
- Only 3 Home Screens are available which means that if you install many apps then some apps will not shown to you due to screen limitation.
- Old Icons, I dont know why ThilinaC used that.
- Soft Back Home and Menu icon, I really dont know why it is there when in Xperia Neo V we have Hard Buttons. Ofcourse it reduce the screen size
- Not able to got Beats featurs which was mentioned in the change log of Build 14.0 SP1, Dont know why
- You have to install all Gapps manually which makes lil wiered.
-ThilinaC (developer) must include new Google search, when we have JB 4.1 library I think we can do that.
Well thats it I faced these problem
But one word ROM is very good and stable I have checked while playing Temple run with no logs also torrent was running in backgroup and other apss. This I cant do in Stock ROM
Anyone faced same issue lke me?

I really love the ICS Pureness series and have been following since build 13 (trifle belated ) ...
anyways, i used Build 13 for a couple of months, and then flashed build 14 (sp1) ...
a couple of small issues:
- cannot see NOTES app in the drawer, although can launch a new note from the shortcut in active tasks display ...
- there is a strange line in right hand bottom (below last app in third column - screenshot attached) of 2nd page in app drawer ...
anybody have these issues?
I'll re-flash and see if it persists ...
I have a rough road to update my Xperia Active. And now I've success to have my phone work smoothly. Want to share for a beginner, step by step.
1. First of all, make decision. You have to decide to leave sony. You may brick your phone. And may be, Sony cannot repair for you. If you're reluctant, I think do not do it.
2. You should have a second phone to use between the process. Or you may loss connection for a while.
3. Some word(s) you should know before ( I try to describe as simple not exactly the whole meanings, only for understand for use )
- Boot loader : is the part of Android system to load data for boot system. Sony lock this part for safety and for right issues. You should unlock bootloader before something to do. (There's some methods to root on locked bootloader but you still can't flash new rom)
- root : The way you take superuser right to change everythings in your android phone. As administrator in PC. You can check this right by use terminal emulator, write down su, the icon will change from $ -> #. If it's say " unknown command" means that you still don't rooted.
- custom ROM : There're a lot of custom roms for xperia active to choose. The most well known is CyanogeMod rom. Till now I think CM10 is stable for xperia active (It's modify from jellybean 4.1.2). There is newer version CM10.1 (JB 4.2.1) but still some bug, waiting for development. The others are Jelly Vanilla, Super jelly bean, PACMAN, Paranoid, Mike, Polish blood, etc. You can try all of them.
- flash rom : to install ROM to your device
- fastboot : the mode to flash kernel. For xperia active, connect the usb cable to your pc then power off your phone. Press Vol.up button while connect usb cable to microUSB port. You should install usb driver for xperia active into your PC. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910
- full wipe : to delete and format user data before install a new rom. You lock in to the recoverymode and then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache (advance > wipe dalvik cache ). In mounts and storage > format system, format data, format cache.
boot in recovery mode : to restart into recovery mode, For Xperia Active you should power off your phone, then power on and wait till some boot image and LED light come then press Vol. down button repetitively for a while. If it responses, it will stop boot logo and go to recovery mode with the blue LED light.
- Kernel : boot.img. It's a boot program for your device contain some system drivers.
- recovery : It's may be as a little OS install to your device to do somethings that cannot be done via your ordinary OS. There're 2 well known brands, ClockworkMod recovery (CWM) and TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). For Xperia Active I suggest to use CWM.
4. Make your phone's battery > 40%.
5. Unlock Bootloader : goto http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
6. Root : go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910 .
- This will help you to find driver for xperia active (driver.zip)
- Make flash kernel easier (fastboot.zip).
- And will install Rage Kernel v3.2 (ICS) and CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
If you like this ROM you can stop here.
7. Back up your phone. Reboot into recovery mode. Choose backup/restore > backup
8. Upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
- Download kernel. I use 2.6.32.60 nAa kernel from: http://goo.im/devs/nAa/kernels/2.6.32/jb/satsuma (credit: http://www.androidmodmarket.com/ModMarket/Listings/XDA-L-2214282.html). It's stable, good for battery, beautiful logo. Newer kernel are good too but drain battery much faster. Rename it to boot.img and put it in your Fastboot directory (from 6) in your PC.
- Download ROM. I use Super jelly bean 5.5. It's smooth, small, little ram used, true enlargable icon(150% good for older ). Only problem I found is ringtone adjustment. You can go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277199
- Download Gapps. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
- Copy ROM, gapps into your sd card
- Flash kernel. Use flash.cmd as in 6.
- Start your phone into CWM recover and do full wipe.
- Install zip from sd card > find SJB zip file > install.
- Install zip from sd card > find Gapps zip file > install.
- After finish, restart system. Wait calmly for the first time. It may take 5 minutes.
- You can adjust your settings. And wait for 30 min. for ROM to settle. Restart and enjoy.
Update Xperia Active JB 4.1.2 for Thai ( Thai language )
ผมหาทาง Root , update มือถือ Xperia active อย่างยากลำบาก ตอนนี้คิดว่าน่าจะ OK พอควรแล้ว ได้รุ่นที่ลื่นไหลประหยัดแบต เลยอยากแชร์ให้คนไทย ที่เพิ่งเริ่มต้นลองดูบ้างครับ ทีละขั้นดังนี้
1. ก่อนอื่นต้องให้คุณตัดสินใจอีกครั้ง เพราะถ้าทำพลาด เครื่องอาจเสียซ่อมไม่ได้ หรือเอาไปซ่อม sony ก็คิดค่าซ่อมแพงไม่รู้คุ้มค่าเครื่องหรือเปล่า ถ้ายังลังเล ก็ใช้ของเดิมเถอะครับ
2. คุณน่าจะมีมือถือสำรองไว้ระหว่างที่ปรับแต่ง เพื่อไม่พลาดการติดต่อ
3. ขออธิบายศัพท์บางคำ เอาแบบพอเข้าใจนะครับ เพราะผมก็ไม่ใช่ผู้เชี่ยวชาญมาก
3.1) Boot loader : เป็นส่วนของ android ใช้ตอนบูทเครื่อง จะมีข้อมูลเครื่อง ลิขสิทธิ์บางตัว sony จะ lock ส่วนนี้ไว้เพื่อความปลอดภัยของทั้งสองอย่าง ถ้าเรา unlock แล้วก็เสียประกันไปเลย แต่เราจะ root,เปลี่ยน rom ได้ บางวิธีก็สามารถ root ได้โดยไม่ต้อง unlock แต่ก็เปลี่ยน rom ไม่ได้อยู่ดี
3.2) root : เป็นการทำให้ได้มาซึ่งสิทธิ์ของ superuser ซึ่งจะสามารถเปลี่ยนแปลงสิ่งต่างๆได้หมด แต่เนื่องจากมี app superuser ซึ่งอาจโหลดมาได้ แต่ไม่ได้แปลว่า root การตรวจดูว่า root หรือยังอาจใช้terminal emulator เขียนว่า su icon จะเปลี่ยนจาก $ -> # ถ้ามันบอก " unknown command" ก็แสดงว่ายังไม่ได้ root
3.3) custom ROM : มีเยอะครับ ที่มีชื่อเสียงมากคือ CyanogeMod rom ถึึงขณะนี้ผมคิดว่า CM10 น่าจะ stable ที่สุดสำหรับ xperia active (jellybean 4.1.2) version CM10.1 (JB 4.2.1) ยังไม่ค่อยดี ที่ลองมาใช้ bluetooth คุยไม่ได้คงต้องรอการปรับปรุงอยู่ อย่างอื่นที่อาจใช้ได้เช่น Jelly Vanilla, Super jelly bean, PACMAN, Paranoid, Mike, Polish blood มีข้อดีข้อเสียต่างกัน ต้องลองดูครับ
3.4) flash rom : คือการ install ROM
3.5) fastboot : เป็น mode ที่ใช้ flash kernel สำหรับ xperia active ให้ต่อสาย usb cable เข้ากับ pc ปิดเครื่องโทรศัพท์ จากนั้นกดปุ่ม Vol.up แล้วต่อ usb cable เข้ากับ microUSB port ก่อนอื่นอาจต้องหา usb driver for xperia active มาใส่ไว้ใน PC ก่อน ลองดู http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910
3.6) full wipe : การลบและformat user data ก่อน install rom ให้เปิดเข้า recoverymode แล้วเลือก wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache ( ในเมนู advance > wipe dalvik cache ) ในเมนู mounts and storage > format system, format data, format cache
3.7) boot in recovery mode : การ restart สู่ recovery mode สำหรับ Xperia Active ให้ปิดโทรศัพท์ แล้วเปิดเครื่องใหม่ รอจน boot logo และไฟ LED light ขึ้นแล้วกดปุ่ม Vol. down ซ้ำๆสักหน่อย ถ้า OK มันจะหยุด boot แล้วเข้า recovery mode ไฟ LED สีน้ำเงินจะขึ้น
3.8) Kernel : boot.img. เป็น boot program จะมีพวก system drivers ต่างๆอยู่
3.9) recovery : เปรียบเสมือนเป็น OS เล็กๆ ที่จะช่วยทำงานที่ OS ปกติทำไม่ได้ เช่นการลง ROM การ backup android มี 2 ค่่ายที่ดังๆ ClockworkMod recovery (CWM) และ TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) สำหรับ Xperia Active ผมแนะนำให้ใช้ CWM recovery
4. Charge batt ให้มากกว่า 40%.
5. Unlock Bootloader : ไปที่ http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
6. Root : ไปที่ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910 .
จะได้ driver สำหรับ xperia active (driver.zip)
ทำให้การ flash kernel ง่ายขึ้น (fastboot.zip).
จะ install Rage Kernel v3.2 (ICS) และ CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
ถ้าชอบก็ใช้อันนี้เลยก็ได้ครับ เพราะเร็วเอาการละครับเมื่อเทียบกับของเดิม
7. Back up android โดย Reboot เข้า recovery mode เลือก backup/restore > backup
8. Upgrade เป็น Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
8.1) Download kernel ผมใช้ 2.6.32.60 nAa kernel จาก http://goo.im/devs/nAa/kernels/2.6.32/jb/satsuma (credit: http://www.androidmodmarket.com/ModMarket/Listings/XDA-L-2214282.html ตัวนี้ stable, ประหยัด battery, logo สวย kernel ใหม่กว่านี้ หรือของ CM ก็ดีแต่กินแบตน่าดูครับ เปลี่ยนชื่อ file ที่ได้มาเป็น boot.img แล้วเอาไปวางใน Fastboot directory ตามข้อ 6 ครับ
8.2) Download ROM ผมเลือก Super jelly bean 5.5 ลื่นไหลดี, เล็ก, ใช้ ram น้อย, icon ขยายได้ถึง 150% ดีต่อคนสายตายาวครับ ดูที่ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277199
8.3) Download Gapps จาก http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
8.4) Copy ROM, gapps ลง sd card ในมือถือ
8.5) Flash kernel ใช้ flash.cmd ตามข้อ 6 ครับ ง่าย สะดวก เร็ว
8.6) เปิดเครื่องเข้า CWM recovery แล้ว full wipe
8.7) Install zip from sd card > find SJB zip file > install
8.8) Install zip from sd card > find Gapps zip file > install
8.9) เสร็จแล้ว restart system รอหน่อยครับ อาจนานนิดนึงสำหรับการบูทครั้งแรก
8.10) ปรับ settings ตามใจชอบ แต่อย่าเพิ่งรีบ reboot รอให้ ROM settle สัก 30 นาทีก่อนแล้วค่อย restart แล้วน่าจะใช้ได้ดังใจนึกครับ

Xperia Active Upgrade to SJB5.5
First of all I like to thank the author for posting this upgrading topic on Xperia Active, one of the best outdoor smartphone. Though it's limitation in RAM but it still performed very well with basic outdoor Apps.
Here are some of my comments during the upgrading, I am no expert in any of this stuff but glad XDA forum had provided many info. Started Rooting the 2013 Nexus 7 32G first then went on to Xperia Active which was way more complex then expected.
Thoughts
1. Hope the author could write in point form instead of referring to another site, took a day on trial and error and almost brick the phone (well I am new to this stuff)
2. Before upgrading, I was using HRM with Xperia Active Ant+ but found it was not added in the Kernel.
3. Found a link in XDA on Ant+ addon but was for 4.0 version and did not workout.
4. Found another link Ant+ and this time it was a success. Ant+ is now back in action.
5. Did not remove the first Ant+ installation on the Xperia Active but went on using CWM to install the second Ant+ zip file from the SD card folder.
6. Overall the upgrading was amazing, Apex Launcher looks better compare to partner's unrooted Xperia Z layout.(next project)
7. Found if set the CPU to Performance running around 1.6GHz, it was draining battery very fast. Now I have switch to intellidemand mode and testing it out (have a feeling the battery life will last longer. When the phone is idle the CPU is running between 249~460Mhz). Definitely like the options of playing around the CPU without downloading external App for it.
8. GPS at initial startup was slow, maybe due fresh start however after few try outs did find it is a little slow on looking for satellites.
9. Booting up (intellidemand 1612MHz setting with SJB5.5) time was way slower compare to the stock unrooted Xperia Active (recorded a vid using both Xperia phone for comparison, will try to post a link soon) Maybe could due to setting, stock unrooted Xperia Active Core0 was at 1024MHz
10. Power Off was similar case, still the stock unrooted Xperia Active out performed even had the rooted Xperia Active set on performance
11. Touch screen was less sensitive then before
12. For now, since everything is working out fine will just leave it as it is. As for performance wise felt that installing just Rage Kernel v3.2 (ICS) and v3.0 (GB) was much faster.
So if anyone like me to do other comparison, let me know and do give a guide as I am Idiot to this at the moment.
Cheers
Well done
I'm very glad that I've made something useful to you. But it no so good enough. I'm not an expert too. I think for mod rom you have to find more and more. Which is the best rom for you. I have to give a link to other because it's the rule you have to refer to the writer for his achievement except you made it by your own. And I only found and happy and then tell others that this is the way to do.
And now I've go on to MIUI. It's not so fast but I love it. Not so sluggish and beautiful rom. You can try to find how to install MIUI on this website.

8. GPS at initial startup was slow, maybe due fresh start however after few try outs did find it is a little slow on looking for satellites.
9. Booting up (intellidemand 1612MHz setting with SJB5.5) time was way slower compare to the stock unrooted Xperia Active (recorded a vid using both Xperia phone for comparison, will try to post a link soon) Maybe could due to setting, stock unrooted Xperia Active Core0 was at 1024MHz
10. Power Off was similar case, still the stock unrooted Xperia Active out performed even had the rooted Xperia Active set on performance
11. Touch screen was less sensitive then before
12. For now, since everything is working out fine will just leave it as it is. As for performance wise felt that installing just Rage Kernel v3.2 (ICS) and v3.0 (GB) was much faster.
So if anyone like me to do other comparison, let me know and do give a guide as I am Idiot to this at the moment.
Cheers

Of course you can try any rom and kernel you like and find the one fitting best for your usage
But if you want to try for example SJB, don't use 5.5, always use the latest version of the rom you want to try. Only don't use it, if it has more bugs. Otherwise try the latest, often it includes bug fixes etc

Well thank you again for the kind advice.
I would stick with SJB5.5 for the moment and play around. Definitely something I tried today an improvement was the camera function, the photos taken was much better. Every upgrade do fix bugs but then again it's also on Beta stage. I have 2 Xperia Active, maybe will try the other one to play around with the upgrade.
At the moment I have no intention of upgrading to any newer smartphone so SE Xperia Active will stay as long as it takes. She has proven to me over the years, seen desert storm, swam in SE Asia water, went backing with Maps loaded and most of all been thru all my outdoor activities. She is compact, light, tough and now I have moved 70% of the Apps to 2013 Nexus 7 so she is basically working as an outdoor smartphone with Map, Fitness Apps and music....no YouTube, no Gmail and stuff, basically no productivity stuff. (new Google Map is really crap, have downloaded 6.9 back)
@mrwitoon, I guess you are Thai, I have always love Thailand as my holiday destination
MIUI development is under China SiaoMi which out performs iOS in term of sales. After I hv said my needs for Xperia Active at the moment, what are your opinions for my needs? It seems MIUI are tailored to those like iOS. Correct me if I am wrong. Just been to their site and saw the vid.
Cheers

Of course some updates bring up new bugs, but most times many new really cool features and bug fixes
If I were you, I'd do a backup of your current rom using cwm (nandroid backup) and flash the update with just wiping cache (you won't loose data). Don't forget to flash gapps if necessary! If you like the update, stay with it, if not, just restore the backup and it'll be okay

Now I left from SJB and stay on MIUI. I think It may looks like iOS but something different. Someone said iOS7 comes to look like MIUI! For me I'm happy with it morethan MIUI. I don't want too much from this phone except her endurance. For both roms ( SJB, MIUI ) I think not different in term of smoothness. But MIUI has only 1 launcher not need to open app drawer again, so easier (If you ever used iOS, the same feelings). Some controls eg. wifi, bluetooth, power off, reboot, lock screen etc. are on status bar, you have not to find special icon app from the market. ( I usually want this control easier than go into settings ). The sweeper app of MIUI is the same as Fastreboot app or TaskKiller of google market but you have not to download and take more ram. When I open too many app and feel some sluggish I sweep it to clear more ram. MIUI has Xiaomi's market. There're many interesting app in there, but you have to read Chinese. ( I can't read too. I tried download it, if not good then uninstall.) Now I use v.3.6.14 of Sandy or Mihahn I'm not sure. It isn't most updated but stable and fast.( I try to update to 3.9.6 but it's more sluggish.) And I use Colinux kernel to solve problem of self reboot of Lupus kernel as suggested by the author.
I agree with Mihahn. If you have time, you can nandroid backup your rom and try another roms or update. And you can try newer rom for awhile. If it isn't as you need, you can go back. And you'll fun with trial.
Super jelly bean 6.0 works like a charm
Guys.... just want to say I have upgraded SBJ 6.0.... seems to be better. Tried to use fusion Kernel 5.4 and the whole screen turned black.
Decided to stick to same kernel and it workout well.

Thoughts
1. SJB 5.5 noticed that Apex Launcher could not be updated, now it can on SJB6.0
2. Camera function is a WOW factor...so much better than before
3. Album features is super fantastic
4. Ant+ still doesn't work, need manual installation from CWM
5. Some Apps restarted itself....many I have not given time for the ROM to set in.
6. Touch screen seems better.
7. Performance was way faster

Hey guys,
Check out this new Mod for Samsung galaxy on5
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/mod-splash-screen-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3625967
What variants of the on5 will this work on? I have the g550t1 and have been looking for a stable Rom as this is my daily driver.
does the camera work?
Well, just for the record, I installed it on the 550T1 and the camera does not work, nor does the sound. If you can live without those, it's probably a decent ROM.
Serious problem
After flashing this rom, whenever I lower brightness to zero screen become black and then I have to factory reset my phone every time.
So please help me out.
Apparently not quite ready for daily driver status, lol
is there any way to flash the rom via odin??

i am not able to flash the rom properly ...
after installation gets successful on restarting phone my phone screen gets blank after on5 name screen ....
then no further response...
can anyone provide me a solution or please tell me if there is any chance of flashing the rom via odin
I flashed the ROM as instructed. Although it took several minutes to get past the Samsung splash screen, it booted up to a very attractive UI. The camera and sound, however, do not work at all. You are aware the smartphones are supposed to have these features, no?
Are we missing something? Is there something else I should download?
Camera, Mic and Audio Error
I am unable to use any of the three.
How big is the file?
It seems all custom roms on any variant of the On5 are incapable of loudspeaker, mic, or camera control. Or in the least, until a future update. Instead of adding new features, why not make what we have work and develop from the ground up? Assistant is pointless if the mic refuses to work.
Im trying to log into snapchat on this rom but it doesnt appear to be working. Ive tried useing root cloak with xposed, but that didnt work, but now snapchat still wont work even without xposed. Does this ROM use supersu or something else?
Does anyone have the link?
