Im thinking about buying an xperia neo, because i want hdmi and front camera.I have had a few x10s and ended up using oodie prime miui for the last 6 months before getting my xperia ion. I loved miui and it was nice that the x10 had a lanyard hook and worked well with the rom. When I got the xperia ion almost a month ago I realized I missed my x10 with miui.. Im now looking to get a neo, if the miui is as good and stable as the one I had on x10. Heres what I want, relating to miui on neo.
1) Hold home key on lockscreen for torch flashlight
2) Hold volume up/down to change tracks while screen locked (mod)
3) call recording
4) Working blacklist and firewall.
5) hdmi
6) front camera
If all this works Im returning my Ion and getting the neo. It seems the neo is like an x10 with more function, just what I want.

I'm using Neo V(Unlocked bootloader) with MIUI 2.9.7 rom by ZduneX25 and i love it.It is based on stock Sony .587 firmware so far so good..for elegance stock rom is nothing infront of MIUI..:good:
I can confirm the following things
1) Hold home key on lockscreen for torch flashlight- Working
2) Hold volume up/down to change tracks while screen locked (mod)-Didn't checked that yet
3) call recording - Works with latest NightElf 1.5 Kernel
4) Working blacklist and firewall - Working
5) hdmi - Working
6) front camera - Working
Now the decision is yours

Thank you for the nice response! Now a few more questions if you will.
1) Do led notifications work?
2) Does night elf kernel come with the rom or can you provide a link please?
Either way I am ordering the phone, and I hope to contribute to this forum soon.
Why don't you get the Xperia S? It's about €350> now, if you wait a few month, it might be below €300. There's also official MIUI for the S.
But MIUI V4 is indeed very nice, no bugs, MaxWorks ports the update every week. Only downside is that it's very RAM hungry, you won't be able to use heavy apps smoothly (e.g. Maps, YouTube, Music player etc.), also games might close due to RAM shortage.

Led Notifications works and here is the link to NightElf kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566871
As sdk16420 said its little RAM hungry bcs we have only 512MB..Xperia S is a good option..
This is what i learned from ICS if u want to play with ICS and future android versions u need atleast 1GB RAM devices so best bet is to get Xperia S or anyother devices with 1GB RAM..:good:

Hello everybody,
i have just upgrade to CM 6.1.3 V4.
I know that the camcorder is not working ATM but i read something about the MIUI Camera which should works fine.
I found also the .apk but nothing happens when i put it in the folder "system/apps/.
No additional App in the Menu and no reaction by pressing the camera button.
Any ideas?
Thanks a Lot

Hello!
Thanks for the quick answer.
I've tried Vignette on other Phones and i find it quite good.
But I miss sometimes the Videorecording function mainly because I record videos frequently in the tuning scene
Video Camera illusion was exactly 5 minutes on my x10
well...if you want a good camera, you have 2 options.
1. go back to 2.1 SE stock rom (cause at this moment any rom/mod can handle that)
or
2. do that with a real camcorder
Do what I do,i switch between SE 2.1/CM 6.1.3 using Xrecovery.It only takes like 5 minuets to switch between roms
I have succesfully tested cyanogenmod over SE live with walkman wt19i.
^Can limit cpu speed upto 1.6 Ghz..
^Great musicv quality over headsets..
^Clockwork Mod working
^Nice Boot loader logo(replaced SE with XDA)
^etc..
#LED's colour problem(mixing color)
#flashlight fluctuation..
#not with walkman player.
#battery drains quickly compared to other custom roms..
#Xloud enhancement removed..
#lesser music playback time
#etc..
Nice! Which Cyanogenmod-Version, Clockwordmod-Version are you using?
Maybe the Xperia Mini Rom?
i have modified the fxp rom which is cm7.2.0 using Kitchen...but there's some bug...
anyone can help me fix it?
Can u upload the rom?
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
i also tested cm 7.2.0 on xperia ray
i have brightness issue - it automatically reduces when i lock my phone and unlock again
Pros
Speed is good,
Music is also great
Cons
battery backup is low
Camera app is total ****
ExmoreR gone
Bravia Engine gone
batery issue
can you just confirm that battery is not working properly..?

You are more than 4 months late with this...don't bump old topics.
Go to Development section, CM topics are there, both 7.2 and 9.
You can find much more information there.
So,I've read both of the phone in other website and both have advantage and disadvantage...so,which suits you the most?
Sent from my SK17a using xda premium
i like the LWW bcoz its thinner
Wt19 vs sk17
ive used both phones before,for me WT19 is better
SK17 got keyboard n LED-backlit LCD,WT19 got dual dpeakers (i must say its speakers are PHENOMENAL!)
Pro VS Walkman
right now i have wt19i and both have their advantages and disadvantages
wt19i
dual speaker,with xLOUD enhancement
no bravia engine and qwerty keyboard
xperia mini pro
got qwerty keyboard
no dual speaker
and i am happy with my walkman

Don't forget XMP also got xLOUD
I THINK both is same,but weight and size maybe suits different people
Sent from my SK17a using xda premium
xmp - for heavy texters or social networking types.
lww - sound freaks
well if you really want sounds, then you can plug in a headset that has better sounds and voila!!
you wont have a plug in qwerty for the LWW right?
My take: if you want qwerty, go for the XMP, if it's not that important, go for XM or LWW. If having a portable boom box is important to you, by all means go LWW.
The two phones together would be legen.. wait for it.. ..dary!

Alternative solution is a external QWERTY keyboard for LWW, I have seen some over Bluetooth, although trying to find one via microUSB connectivity and so it could be "packed" together.

Man, can't imagine how weird my LWW will look with an "external" keyboard
Have both. Prefer XMP for the QWERTY keypad. The LWW does have better speakers but it's easy enough to add portable speakers to the XMP. There's no difference in sound quality between the XMP and LWW via the headphone jack, anyway. Using a bluetooth keyboard, however, can be quite awkward. The LWW does have a slightly bigger screen but it's barely noticeable.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-b...nce-nokia-symbian-s60-cellphones-silver-37864
well i dont think this will fullfill it, but in my view XMP comes in handy with a built in qwerty keyboard
The big advantage of LWW has over XMP is its battery life, LWW easily survives double time compared to XMP. and this is very normal because of keyboard lights and display bravia engine eats up a good % of battery charge on XMP.
so if u r quite outgoing and doesnt always carry charger/usb cable with laptop - LWW is the solution for u (yes, u might have to forget about the physical keyboard and amazing display)
LWW has another minor advantage, its stereo speaker. so if u always miss ur ringtone, or keep ur phone inside bag, or like to play loudspeaker music to ur friends - u can have LWW. this thing is really LOUD.
but i guess, using XMP will give u such magnificent experience that LWW wont be able to deliver, experiences in (1) bravia engine display, best in the market, (2) typing in physical keyboard, (3) tiny size making it usable with single hand.
compared to the 2nd para, if u r more into office, always carry ur laptop and usb charge cable, go for WMP. oh yes, although i havent checked, i heard XMP supports video call (i.e. skype) but LWW doesnt.

According to me Xperia MDPI comparison
XMP(2 camera, hw keyboard) > LWW(2 cam, 2 speaker) > XM(one cam) > Active(same as XM, just a bit stronger )
I am using Live with Walkman WT19i, rooted and unlocked bootloader, stock kernel and stock rom ICS
i want a solution to auto record all my calls (both sides, even when i am using headphones)
any suggestions? which app + kernel can do it?
edit : found the solution, krsh kernel v3.0 + this app works (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=en)
try this
I'm using the app called "callrecorder", the one with the green icon. I'm on a sk17i but it has settings for a lot of phones, the ones for my XMP didn't work so I tried with with the others and the ones for the Xperia arc worked like a charm for my XMP. The quality of the recorded audio is awesome on both sides of the call. I'm on Real ICS lite with kamarush kernel.
i also use app mentioned in the first post. works fine

I think performance wise experience would be same but Poco will have a development community advantage over Sony, Poco will have many roms, customisation, mods etc etc.. But media consumption , screen quality, camera would be much better on Sony. It's your call, which type of experience you want since you started using Sony recently.
Well I am also buying POCO this sale only because of SD845 and active development community, mine current device is Samsung G S7, I know I am gonna sacrifice on display and looks of the phone but thats okay.

Yeah development community is very big advantage for me with poco.as far as camera is concern my search says it is not big difference between them both(except super slow motion of Sony) . But yeah I like screen and built quality of Sony a lot, what I dislike about Sony beside development is its flash light which is very low.flash light is very important for me. I use it daily 3-4 times in a day. Thanks for your reply p

wow!
usually such questions are easy for me! if someone asks on xda that should he/she be switching from xyz to Poco or not ..
however the involvement of Sony adds ZING to this question!
keeping specs short comings of (storage/ram/screen) of xz2 when compared to Poco f1 ASIDE.............
Remember! Xperias are Apple (iphone) of the Android world! , Sony Xperia Stockrom is fine Tuned with hardware like soul to body, the simple intervace having so much to offer as your make any xperia your daily driver is I must sayd unique Japanese touch!
- you will feel happy on the hardware specs sheet of poco once its in your hands but
- you will MISS sony Xperia Stockrom UI experience big time!
- PocoF1's display with bad viewing angles, is NOTING infront of Sony's Triluminos display backed up with Bravia Engine! ,
- also Xz1 has Stereo speakers and poco f1 don't
-Xz2 is gorilla glass 5 front and back giving premiuim feeling!
- Camera of XZ2 is way better than poco f1
- xperia is more stable and can handle acidental bricking better than many devices
now poco f1 advantages
- cheaper device with SD845 no bumps curves or slippery finish so if you drop it and it breaks! it won't give your heart attack!
- poco f1 is very popular on xda and you will find many roms and kernels on and off Xda!
- rooting poco is piece of cake once boot is unlocked after 72 hours! however Rooting Sony Xperia XZ family is NOT as simple as that! YOu will have to make a deal with devil , once sony sends Unlock Key, and you use that key to boot unlock your XZ2, the Digital Rights Management Keys (DRM keys) in hidden Trim Area (TA) will be Washed/wiped and now many software will support only basic features, like sd card support will be reduced to 64gb / bluetooth 3.0 only/ camera slowmotion and other premium features wont work, fast charging wont work, bravia engine wont work, mega Bass and other sound effects won't work! ... there are long and serious work around and methods to EXTRACT TA partitions before unlocking the bootloader! but whether it works or not! only you can tell by trying these comlicated methods!
- Xz2 is not popular on xda hence i don't think so there are many custom roms or kernels! but then Sony Stockrom is itself is enough
- on custom rom! it never hangs! you can use dozen of social media apps and you will hardly notice any lags!
problems with POCO
- gosh touch issues are constantly bieng reported on various MIUI builds time to time!
- bad viewing angle makes your eyes water when you try to watch movies longer!
- modified vendor image has usb tethering error on 3g which makes system ui crashes and/or random reboots!
- I personaly found 4g connectivity issues many times on miui and or custom rom on various kernels! I am always rebooting or Toggling Airplane mode for poco to register itlef on the nearest tower with fresh ip! , where my Xperia works amazing on both 3g/4g

So finally I got poco coming in 3 days.
Meanwhile I wanted to know (off topic :angel
Does miui has automatic call recording,?
And which custom rom has these features
Automatic call recording
Button mapping ( button to kill apps, multi windows, switch recent app)
Screen shot in power button
Press and hold power button for torch (while screen is locked
These are the most important things for me please answer. Thanks
Also tell me how many of them can I find in miui?
After all this is my first experience with miui

for MIUI
since MIUI8 , the dial has automatic CALL recording (GSM calls ONLY)
- only Button MIRROR is available in miui ( recent app style is TILES only (not oreo Stack)
- swip three fingers down has screen shot gesture, ( I don't thinks so power button has such thing )
- pressing power button twice may trigger torch (you can set this guesture from miui gestures) (since miui 5)
about custom roms,
- call recorder is embeded in most of them (gsm only)
- button mapping is also available but not in every rom! you should try RR however navbar can be tweaked in nearly all roms! (havoc, crdroid, RR are the best)
- hardware keys can be configured on deep level! power menu can have many or few options as per your configuration
- you can configure torch on power button toggle (i am on havoc)
H-O-W-E-V-E-R
since you said its your FIRST expeirence with MIUI, I don't want to be a bummer or wana scare you off from poco! but........ since you are my type of person who give importance to certain types of customizations then I am affraid you will NOT like Miui very much!
why ???
- MIUI (atleast on poco) have no KEYBOARD switch key in navbar, if you have two or more keyboards installed (gboard and/or swiftkey) everytime you will have to swipe down the notification find SELECT INPUT METHOD to change /toggle between keyboards! where on stock android and in all custom roms (LOS based or CAF based) have this feature appears in either LEFT or RIGHT (or both) sides of navigation bar (you can customize)
- miui navbar stays WHITE most of the times and for me its annoying!
- miui recent screen has tiles method which is very annoying for me!
- you cannot disable any bloatware! you must ROOT your device and have third part app to do that!
-poco has modified vendor image ( i am gonna avoid details here) , so the impact is you must ditch MIUI kernel for poco and have custom kernel like FRANCO/ Twisted / OD / sphinx etc and use kernel manager app if you wana BOOST sound/volumes etc
- poco screen is unlike sony so i use custom kernel for KCAL to enrich vibrance
- notification method on miui is strange! , i noticed it puts LATEST msg from any one in the BOTTOM of that tile, for example if you recieve 3 msgs from 3 users on whatsapp apart few seconds each, stock android puts latest on top within WHATSSAPP tile, howeve miui puts it on bottom, so kept reading obsolete notification lines unless i became annoyed! , same case should be with emails too ( I don't remember that)
- miui has limited quick setting icons! i wanted to add toggle 3g/4g and usb tethering on Quick Setting Panel but i had to do that from netwrok settings always!
- due to modified vendor image, all custom roms have this BUG where if you tether 3g , the System ui craches or many com.android.phone starts crashing! so try to avoid usb tethering on 3g network!
nvm ... didnt c the previous comments

Thanks for giving me your precious time and so much detailed answer
such a great pleasure to read your post.
This is also one of the reason why I prefer poco over Sony (community support)
After reading your post I think I should try miui first before installing any custom rom. Obviously I would root it first
Thanks again
