Rom development: Camera Flashlight - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My device Zte Skate, has a good development on modaco but since android 2.3.7 camera flashlight dont work, I want to know who is failing, I have done a largue investigation about the flash, but I only got few documents, now i need the help of some Rom developers.
All i know is:
On the rom 2.3.7 the SKATE have liboemcamera,libcamera.. from stock rom
but in the roms 4.+.+ have the libraries from other phone (Galaxy ace if I remember)
the developers of the rom make a long search for try to fix this but need much more time who they have, i wanna to help on some way
ROM 2.3.7
On /sys/class/leds/ dont appear spotlight or flashlight and apparently dont appear on others folders
but camera.apk the flashlight rules
Apps for use as a torch dont work, and the few who works only blink every 1s or 2s
I have a good instrumental of resources and time, but i need information of what i must do.
I look the code of the libraries(liboemcamera ...) on asm, i tried of change the values of some functions of the flash on a hex editor, but dont work.
I look information about change values on lightservice /system/framework/services.jar work sometimes, but i think this is not the case exactly.
:cyclops:
i wanna know what is bad and where for try to repair, please i need help :highfive:

PROJECT COMPLETED 100% - NO MORE OFFICIAL UPDATES!​
Guys, unfortunately this is my last project. I have something called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and my doctor said it will back (now I'm healthy) if I will use my hands like before. Maybe my development won't end forever, but my project like ROM ends 100% - lately I don't have much time on working on new projects like before - my study, my private life, much more other things. I met here lot of awesome people, and I won't leave you after this project will be full relased - my support should be long, and we will talk like before . Please respect my decision, and for now, just read this thread, cause this is what some of you waiting for . Don't think about my departure for now .

So let's go, a little text before we start everything. I want to say big Thank You for all Developers, which help me in the past, all people who are with me, all fans, all haters p), and just.... everyone. XDA community here is one of the best, I've learned a lot in my "carrier" and I think it was great journey, with lots of smile, lots of bugs and force closes, tooo muuuch code and scripts, and any other awesome things inside Android platform. I don't want to call anyone from name/nick (but you know best guys here of course, and I don't need to show they ^^), beacuse everyone made some nice features for our X10 devices, all of us have something to glorify themselves. Sooo....Thanks again for everyone.
Some news was on DX7 thread before, but I don't want give you links for every post, I will just write them all here, with much more correct info:
My ROM (version S-Style and Light) based on Semc Debrand Engine (thanks for Achotjan, without him those version won't even relased )
[*]Gaming and Stock-based has other sources.
There are 4 version of my last ROM - S-Style, Light, Gaming and Stock-based with possible 2.6.32.9 Kernel (we will see how development in KTG Team goes).
Every version have other destiny - and You are the person, who choose one!
I don't know what to say more - read words under and you will know all!
Based on CM7 Android 2.3.7 or Android 2.3.4 without CM.
Mobile Bravia Engine.
xLoud.
Playstation Certificate.
Timescape.
Facebook & Twitter (and mooore).
Track ID.
Music in lockscreen (and changing it with volume control buttons)
Walkman music app from ICS update for Xperia NXT (big thanks for w4lkm4n ).
Xperia Sola Keyboard (with voice options).
KGSL Drivers (at least in S-Style, Light and Gaming). UPDATE: In Stock-based version we have it "partly", read more if you want.
Create Yourself ™ - my own idea. You've seen this in all DiXperias - it's something like "you choose stuff and version you like, and if you need something, you just apply this like extra file. No need to delete tons of apps you don't using and won't" - it's simple, fast, and has potential .
Different themes, depends on version of ROM (see screenshots), Xperia S like, more brightness, some Gaming crazy .
Apps and firmware taken from Xperia S stuff, ports etc. (music, lockscreen, widgets, home, font etc.).
Scripts, tricks, tweaks - they promise lot of fun, lot of performance and lot of stability ^^.
I think it's enough but you know it's not everything - I'm sure I missed a lot of features, but it's up to you to test it yourself if you really want to using this ROM.
To don't make mess in this post I will update info about next screenshots, when it will be published. For now:
S-Style version -> CLICK
Light version -> CLICK
Gaming version -> No way to get this, cause of XDA rules about donation form. I'm terribly sorry that I didn't know about it, cause other Devs have their own donation options, and sorry again for ToledoJab, and thanks for clarify this situation . In short - DX8 Gaming version is NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE.
Stock-based version -> CLICK
Now, it depends on which version you'll choose:
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- Of course Root + Busybox.
- Unlocked Bootloader - that's why Stock-based version appear too .
- Required Kernel (look on Download).
- CWM Recovery.
- Baseband from official Android 2.3.3.
Stock-based:
- Of course Root + Busybox.
- Locked or Unlocked Bootloader.
- Stock SE official Kernel from official 2.3.3 (in ROM there is pre-installed Custom).
- xRecovery (should be 0.3).
- Flash through 2.3.3 based ROM - can be Stock, can be some Custom, no matter, important is baseband.
Depends on version too, like requirments:
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- Download ROM (+ optional addons) and put it on your SD Card.
- Flash correct Kernel through FlashTool (.ftf file).
- Go to CWM Recovery and make Full Wipe and Wipe Cache, then clean your Dalvik, fix Battery and Fix Permissions.
- Choose .zip to flash and select my ROM. Wait...
- Done! Reboot and feel free to use this!
Stock-based:
- Download ROM (+ optional addons) and put it on your SD Card.
- Go to xRecovery and make Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Battery Stats and Fix Permissions.
- Choose Install Custom Zip and select my ROM. Wait...
- Done! Reboot and feel free to use this!
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - S-Style version ~ |Beautiful|
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - Light version ~ |Simple|
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - Gaming version ~ No way to get this, cause of XDA rules about donation form. I'm terribly sorry that I didn't know about it, cause other Devs have their own donation options, and sorry again for ToledoJab, and thanks for clarify this situation . In short - DX8 Gaming version is NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE.
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - Stock-based version ~ |Stable|
Golden-Suggestion -> If you like my work and you are using it right now, please glorify it on your signature with this graphic:
Golden-Suggestion #2 -> I want this thread clean best possible. Of course you can write here anything is connected with DX8 project, you can write some reviews, write about bugs if you find some which was not posted before, give link for some videopresentation if you made some, screenshots and more, more. But please - if you want thanks to me or anyone, click THANKS button, or if you want write some "little-offtop" go to Discussion Thread(thanks to Lakshay, ddddanger and all guys who will help them in support of my ROM ), where you can talk about everything, not DX8 only ^^.
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- To get Xperia-theme-like lockscreen go to CM Settings, choose lockscreen options and select the first one.
- If you want Xperia Sola Keyboard first you need to open Stock keyboard, and configure it a little (do you want help or auto-correct etc.). Then just flash required addon and here you go ^^.
- Don't use any backup!
- After flash my system give it few hours for better stability and ~one day for applicate all scripts/tweaks/tricks.
- Flash every addon separately.
- Simple, but no one understand it. If you want to have better battery life just decrase brightness.
- If you have any problems with standard apps like FC in music, not working Clean Bass option, not showing notifications in lockscreen or FC in conversations - reflash ROM, don't forget to fix permissions and after few hours of using reboot few times. Should help.
Stock-based:
- Don't use any backup!
- After flash my system give it few hours for better stability and ~one day for applicate all scripts/tweaks/tricks.
- Flash every addon separately.
- Simple, but no one understand it. If you want to have better battery life just decrase brightness.
- If you have any problems with standard apps like FC in music, not working Clean Bass option, not showing notifications in lockscreen or FC in conversations - reflash ROM, don't forget to fix permissions and after few hours of using reboot few times. Should help.
-In my opinion, interactiveX, and frequency of CPU 384-1152MHz gives awesome stability and performance .
USING S-STYLE and LIGHT VERSIONS
Hi all,
As the winner of the contest held by DiKeJ, I got my hands on the S-Style and the Light versions of the ROM before all of you
So HERE'S the review for both the roms.
Further discussions and questions about the rom in the DiXperia8 Discussion Thread please. I won't answer any of the questions asked here.
Please try and keep the development thread clean.
Thanks !
Now, on first page, you see relase dates for upcoming S-Style and Light versions. Sorry for long waiting - it's the fastest date to get those ROMs, me and Lakshay trying to fix every bug or FC and make it fastest. Take care everyone.
First screenshots from DiXperia 8 - Gaming version (not even beta, but theme is 60% done):
Guys, I have some news for you:
-We have Walkman ICS new apk working from new Xperias (but not exactly -> it's modded style based on Xperia S music player - but you will feel like Walkman, so I can name it that way ) Will be as addon, cause my ROMs (S-Style, Light) was already uploaded, just need to relase it, date is in first post.
-There is possible fix for camera - as my ROM is based on some SDE sources (thanks to Achotjan) - we should create correct fix after relase for everyone who needs working camera, but don't need KGSL (we can't apply full KGSL inside Stock Kernel, that's why). More info about it soon, maybe until that we will make some progress.
-Gaming version is 60% done. Theme is ready 100%, scripts are good now, I need to only test some games, and apply many possible tweaks to increase gaming experience for this ROM.
Fingers crossed guys!

It seems i'm the first one testint it (besides premium users) well, how can i star? fast......fast as hell, is the fastest i've ever tried, even in startup, but.... i had a problem when installing, i followed all the steps given by Dike, but, i couldn't fix permissions, why? because i couldn't find it in cwm options, so, i skip that step, everything seems to be alright, my first problem was that the phone didn't recognize my sim card, i rebooted few times and nothing got solved, i use flashtool to flash cwm recovery, i thought that maybe some files were missing, the same, no fix permissions option, well i had to unplugged and replugged my sim card en magically the problem was solve
about speed, is too fast through options and screens, i loved the new lockscreen and the animations. the theme is kinda shiny for me but is cool dike, yo did a great job, i can use to it
i only have a couple of hours with this rom, i didn't flash any addon yet, because dike instructions i'll have to wait. i don't like too much the battery icon but is not big deal
i came from donut hd, unlocked bl, doomkernel ov to 1113. i'll try this rom for a while, i always loved dike's roms
RECOMENDED.....A LOOOOOOT TRY IT RIGHT KNOW
thank you Dike =) as always, an awesome job =) have a nice day dike, and i'm so sorry about your medical condition, i hope you get well as soon as possible,
cheers from mexico pal.........came to visit us....we got beatiful beach, hot girls and tons and tons of cold beer hahaha =) thanks again

Well, I tested the rom first and the problems you are encountering, I never encountered them like the sim card issue and the fix permissions issue. Must've been some other problem with your phone

Well i dont know what happened about my sim card, like i said i came from donut hd, i have a lot of experience flashing roms, but doesnt matter the important is that is solved, about fix permissions i never saw that option in cwm rec, i searched in every menu, it must be in "advanced" right? Like in xrec, but it wasnt there, i had to use rom manager to fix permissions. I had a problem with camera, when i get into the scene mode options and set night or nocturnal (i dont know how is written in english versions) it gives me fc, i wasnst even able to open camera again i tried fixing permissions, restarting device, clearing data, the only solution was reinstall rom and never use that feature again haha

The "FIX PERMISSIONS THING", you have to do it through the rom manager.
danniehayabusa Never had such kind of bug. Which kernel are you using ? The one provided with the rom ?
1eyedmonster You will have to check that out yourself mate !
IF YOU WANT THE ROM TO WORK PERFECTLY, YOU HAVE TO FLASH THE KERNEL PROVIDED BY DiKeJ. I HAVE TESTED THE ROM ON OTHER KERNELS TOO, BUT FOR THE ROM TO WORK PERFECTLY YOU HAVE TO FLASH THE KERNEL PROVIDED. THANKS !
hm?
Premium Users only? whats that about?
Great ROM , was waiting for it since announcement
I get FC when accessing settings in Messaging app
I flashed provided kernel, reinstall ROM, delete data in app, but I still get FC

I have the same bug here (light version). This work is awesome, thank you so much DikeJ... This rom reminds me the one of Wolfbreak with CM6 but a lot more improved !
Now you can have a break and take good care of yourself... Health is the most important.

Great speed & great work Dikej
Now for the bugs or fc's
Currently I have experienced 2 so far after checking each app & their respective settings as well as the system settings..
1. The messaging settings force close as mentioned above, I can confirm that
2. Cyanogenmod settings>Interface>Notification Power Widget>Widget Buttons, go a little down and then tap on Brightness modes == Force close
The brightness button in status bar does work though, only due to this force close you can't choose the brightness levels to be toggled
Try share with us, Quadrant final screen shoot test with Your game version!
Walkman
I have a question ?
"Walkman music app" work on stock 2.3.3 rom ???
Thanks !

About roms

Please help.
Is there anywhere in this forum that gives a simple explanation as to what each Rom does and what are the advantages that they give if you flash them?
I've looked through the development forum and there isn't much information given for a newbie like myself that wants to try romming my s3, well if there is I can't really find it cause each topic about the roms I've read don't exactly say what they do.
It would be great if there was a list explaining all the roms with links to each one and why they'd be useful.
Forgive me if this post seems silly and there is such a topic and I'm just babbling on cause I've looked and have no idea which Rom would come in handy for me cause I'm completely lost.
I'm amazed at what these android phones can do but really really lost and want to learn and maybe make my own themes as I'm a digital artist and would love to make original themes that people would like, but that's another thing I'll learn about in time.
For now I'd love to learn about roms.
Guess I'll try to figure it out myself, ah well I'll get there....
Can't say that there is a thread for what you are looking for but I can say it doesnt hurt to just try them. See which works best for what you are doing and wanting. It is very subjective.
I personally make use of omega and love it
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
Well I think there's a sticky somewhere in the forum listing all the roms for i9300.
They generally give description of what they offer, but generally sammy based roms rids any bloatware, adds in their tweaks, whereas aosp based roms are missing the sammy functions.
I suggest you have a go at each rom. Just do a nand backup of original and flash the different roms. Doesn't really take that long.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hi,
If you are too newbie to understand what each ROM does or not... don't flash anything, keep your stock ROM.
Read the OP (the first post of the thread) of each ROM and read the descriptions, features, changelog... if there anything you don't understand... maybe Google can help you...
You need to learn a little by yourself... and right, I agree, try som ROM by yourself, test, see, etc... you'll see faster by yourself than asking here wich ROM have this or that or don't have this or that, do this or that or don't do this or that, etc... and no, there is not a stickie wich explain each ROM function, feature, etc...(it's in the OP of each ROM->READ or wich ROM is made for you, we are on XDA developpers... (!?!).
Test, test, test... and test (after reading) by yourself, it's how you'll learn. Backup your current ROM, flash, test then if you are not happy... flash another ROM, test... etc....
But since you you opened a thread... maybe a specific term or feature you don't understand?
I hope this thread will not going to finish in a "wich is the best ROM" thread...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for your replies, not much of a learning curve in here for people that really want to learn and the explanations on the first page of each thread doesn't really give a good description of what they do.
I'm all for these roms and think it's great that the developers here can take something and improve on it to give it better performance and have something for everyone.
It wouldn't really hurt though if there was such a thread that each developer of their roms could give a small description of what they do, it would be a very helpful thread and would cut down on people bricking or messing up their mobiles.
Really think a thread like this is needed here, well it's just a suggestion.
I've been to each thread and read what it says but can't really find easy to read descriptions anywhere.
Think I'll try the omega as that's been mentioned twice to me so must be good.
Anyways I think the developers here do amazing things to android phones and it's opened up a new world to me which I really want to be part of.
Good day to you

Rom is Deodexed + Rooted + Zipaligned​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All is detailed and explained, right? If there is something you don't understand... Google-it or ask here for a specific term... You realy need to search and read a little by yourself... If we have to explain each lines...
I agree for a newbie, maybe, deodexed or zipaligned is not very evident... but... Google is your friend
The devs explain the features of their ROM (like a kernel) but it's also to the user to make an effort in reading, searching, understanding and learning (a minimum). The devs can't be behind each user to explain everything to them and teach them or to flash their ROM in place of the user because the user know nothing or he won't read and search. There are other members to help of course, but there is also a responsibility of the user...
Its been said for any flashing if you cannot understand the very basics like read and search then you are likely to brick your phone .
Every rom has details in the first and second posts as shown above .
jje
Yeah you're right I'm so used to symbian and using software and firmware which wasn't open as much as android is and when I first visited the developers section was a bit overwhelmed by it all, had my phone not even 3 weeks and learned about rooting, changing firmware, modifying games and now onto roms.
Will read up on Google what things like bloatware and kernel means.
Was interested in a Rom that allows to use my external to add apps and something with better battery performance.
I'll learn in time, bit cautious about adding roms cause of deleting all my data cause last time I tried nandroid I couldn't get all my data back it didn't work and when tried to get back my sd data from the toolkit the data went back but none of the apps showed up and it said that I had used memory putting it there.
I'm not going to install any roms till I get a better understanding of them, I like to learn about things before jumping in.

Re,
This! Very good thought
You'll see that with all good reading you get there and you will learn mostly , a bit of search and you're good to go!
In any case, if you do not understand some specific terms, there will always be someone to answer you here, I mean here in your thread...
So is nandroid best for backing up my phone before I have a go at roms and does it save ALL my apps and data cause this information I couldn't find on Google wasn't very specific what it backs up
Re,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927113 , needs to read but it's usefull
Yes a Nandroid backup is like an "image" in windows, total back-up except modem and internal/external SD Card (****!, don't remember for the kernel, I think no, need confirmation). All is like at the moment when you do the back-up (apps, settings, SMS, data apps, etc...).
According you're rooted...
I hope I forgot nothing...
EDIT: like slaphead20 said, I totaly agree (but don't speak him about efs: too early, hum I'm just kidding, it's the right way, maily about the efs folder), in nay case Nandroid back-up first, it will save you if something goes wrong...

Yes it is, and if things go wrong you will restore your phone to the exact point you backed it up.
Use k tools(play store) to back up your efs, and copy that to pc.
You have the right attitude, take your time and learn, don't be afraid to ask......I lurked on XDA for 3 months before even joining!
Enjoy and all the best, any questions you can also try asking over in the general thread in general, it's a safe place to ask anything, but do try and find solutions first with search
Thanks for the links and help, now got to Google what ef's is.
So much to learn, rooted two days after getting my phone was quite simple I'm a very quick learner if the information is there.
Re,
About efs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Hum, maybe a little hard... (Verizon or International version, the princip is the same).
EDIT: a toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I know, I know it's not the right way to learn but...
EDIT 2: you're rooted, you have done the most important!
Thank you, I'll read up on all that cause it will come in very handy.
I've run out of giving thanks for useful replies cause I was only allowed 8 apparently, not allowed to be over generous here.

ICS ROM for dell venue is on very early development, I think I need a stable ROM for daily use while waiting further development of ICS/CM 9 for dell venue. I found above Xperia X10 Rom with excellent appearance and rich features. Again, the challenge is coming and Not easy to solve.

Discussion Thread
I need someone to TEST and doing serious TEST, giving idea, suggestion, opinion for : rom Xperia X10 ported to Dell Venue .
About Beats and Dolby add ON .
I'm in doubt to flash both add on due to I saw overlapping libraries with base ROM , However Beats and Dolby probably will solve the MUTE Rom. Please someone give me idea. Actually that is easy, flashh both add on if something happen we can flash main rom and other stuff, unless Beats+dolby add on.
I made mistake during porting process .... I do not aware there is additional MODs thus I tried to adapt the libs file and delete some apk with the main rom only ... and forgot which one I deleted ..... to start over again from beginning, ... I have no time. So I invite friends in this great forums to help.
Note For Tester
If you face FC ... Please inform and post here, what you have done before
The ROM have TWO Launcher, Experia Home launcher and Stage Launcher .... something NOT WORK/FC/HANK please also inform which launcher did you use.
Final target is delete ALL STAGE STUFF after all xperia X10 stuff working properly, thus we will have 80% xPeria X10 and xPeria S Taste and feature (With help of some CM7 stuff and features) , xPeria Drawer is nice since all Icon can dancing when in idle ... very Nice.
Someone can also try Nova Launcher, Go Launcher, etc.
xPeria have also DOCOMO HOME pls search and try to flash and let us know ... whats hapenning
Proved the rom run smoothly and fast on DV

CM.9 have BIG OBSTACLE on Camera and Now on RIL .... There is a chance to use GENUINE DELL VENUE RIL in Froyo ROM, unfortunately we need to set Sony Playstation SDK to decompile .....[dot]PKG file. I dont know How to obtain FROYO BASEBAND and RIL of dell venue and use on ICS Rom.
For Camera, I have discussed with my Poland Friend, he is suggested to use and try to adapt open source generic camera linux webcam drivers , Without solving the problem in CM 9 ...... MIUI 4 (as Ported ROM) will never work. However I will learn related to MIUI Camera .... is they have their own drivers or only applications. I tweak GB rom just for INTERMEZZO since I clueless to tweak MIUI 4. But I will do best to make MIUI 4 at least equal to CM9 dell venue ....... Just Pray for me .....

Yes, x1123. Actually, right at the moment I'm using 2.3.3 now (Olleh 408). ICS for DV is okay, but is somewhat unfamiliar to me, along with known limitations so I prefer using GB instead. So I totally agree that we should have a stable GB rom for this great device.
Recall the time I built the ROM for DV, with some modifications from original hPa's development files for CM7, I remember that he provided many fixes to make cm7 works for DV. However, when modifying RIL, I think that he added some stuffs that only necessary for Korean networks only. To make a ROM that works generally for any network, we can remove that part. Same way to other things!
So now, what comes into my mind when reading your post is, we should start with a clean CM7/AOSP source code base. Then step by step merge hPa's development files back to the source (we can submit to github, and track changes). After this step, we will have the very necessary base to start development after that (with all unnecessary things removed). Then we can have a stable CM7/gb.

1. Download ROM.zip and the Gapps package of your choice (links in 2nd post). Copy them to your sdcard.
2. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP, dont be lazy
3. Clean up your sdcard (optional, recommended for clean base)
Delete every folder in sdcard/Android/data
Delete sdcard/MIUI (Only present if you come from another MIUI ROM)
This will delete all data for all apps! This will delete all your MIUI themes/wallpapers!
You can backup your wallpapers from sdcard/MIUI/wallpapers before you delete it!
4. (For ICS Users ONLY, if you are already on a jellybean rom, go to STEP 5!)
Extract the ROM.zip file on your computer and flash the boot.img with Flashtool or Fastboot
If you dont do this first, the ROM will not boot!
If you dont know how to do this or you dont have Flashtool or Fastboot installed, search the forum...
still problems? ask here ...
5. Boot to Recovery
6. Wipe Data/Factory Reset - Wipe Cache - Wipe Dalvik-Cache - Format /system
7. Install ROM.zip
8. Reboot
9. Go through setup process, then let it settle for a while!
10. Reboot to Recovery
11. Flash Gapps.zip
12. Wipe Cache - Wipe Dalvik Cache
13. Reboot one last time
This ROM has the same bugs as CM10 by FXP
So if you encounter a specific bug, you can always seach the dev thread first and see if it is fixed: LINK
- [BUG] Auto-Brightness doesnt work, drains battery, turn it off
- [BUG] WiFi hotspot does not work
- [BUG] APNs: Turn on Airplane Mode, then turn it back off, now it should work
- [BUG] Auto-Rotation: Turn off Auto-Rotation, then turn it back on, now it should work
- [BUG] All options under settings/sound/system will cause lag
- [BUG] Leds do not blink/stay constantly on. Issue with Phantom kernel.
+ MIUI Weather App:
Original MIUI Weather app only works in China!
Use Burgerz Weather App! Free from Play Store
+ Illumination bar fixer:
Use apk from here to get it working. It is turned off by default. Thanks @jioleight for the tip!
» Turn on MIUI Power Save Mode (Settings/Battery)
» Turn off WiFi-in-sleep (Settings/WiFi/Advanced)
» Setup CPU governor and I/O scheduler and Frequencies
Use a free app like No-frills CPU Control or, better, use an app which supports profiles depending on Battery percentage, like SetCPU.
Here is an example setup I use for SetCPU
For Battery between 100%-20%: Gov: wheatley IO: row @200-1000Mhz
For Battery between 20%-8%: Gov: lionheart IO: row @200-800Mhz
For Battery between 8%-0%: Gov: lionheart IO: row @200-400Mhz
For Screen-Off: Gov: powersave IO: row @200-200Mhz
I hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

So i guess i am the only owner of a Xperia P that loves MIUI and wants to discuss it :angel:
And I am also so excited for MIUI v5
So if no MIUI user is joining this, maybe the devs can share some info on how it is going with new builds, patches, progress?
I have the feeling that since jb is here, a lot more devs show up in the XP dev section, like @sijav
And we also got @dimon2242 and @Dron_GTR. Our russian friends :good:
I also dont want to spam the dev threads, so i wanna bring this up here. I was thinking miui v5 would be better based on CM10 than on stock rom. @sijav said stock would be better.
I wanted to mention that on MIUI v4 there were features on MIUI that didnt work on stock, like the CRT-off animation. Also it was a lot slower and more bloated because of the sony stuff running in the background and also MIUI at the same time. Also, isnt patchrom build to work with CM sources?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well I said stock is better because the bugs will be much less than CMs (or at least Radio will work, videos will run smoothly and tags can be used! )
compare to CRT-off animation I personally believe the radio alone is much more important than that
I have booted and have to say It was as smooth as a butter (really smooth) we can even remove the bloatwares as we want!
I am so excited on MIUI that's why I'm doing this everyday and patchrom is created for MIUI to create MIUI and it can be either based on cyanogen or stock rom,
and it doesn't need a source, any full CWM recovery zip rom will do
And thanks about this thread, It's a good one

I guess u are right
my main concern was performance but when all the Sony apps are gone, it could run just fine. also if I remember correctly @munjeni on the xperia go ran into problems he couldn't fix when building v4 based on CM9.1. that's why he switched to stock in the first place.
but also it meant that CRT-off was off the table cause it's kernel stuff. and it doesn't have to be like that on CM10. keep in mind that fxp are constantly improving their rom, while stock will stay as it is, for better or worse

Yeah it booted but imagine no Wi-Fi and no network!
My first goal is to get network working so I'm working at telephony smalis right now (too many conflicts! more learning than doing anything though)
smali is a dalvik virtual machine code which is so close to machine machine compare to human language looking at it may cause a great headache! atleast the methods are highly like the java codes so I can make a really small scene from it!
well I download the latest patchrom_miui in 19 days ago so it is for May 16, 2013 not sure about the version though but when I get this rom working, for a public release I'll use the latest MIUI apks and changes
problems are so much, the first thing is some resolution configuration are wrong you can see the corners isn't right and a stupid dark highlight in bottom in settings, in massages there's an empty space between header and base! I'll try to fix these resolutions problems as soon as I could fix the telephony (and Wi-Fi ofcourse)!
I want to share my works but have no IDEA how to upload my files to github! (if anyone is able to tell me I will do it, however my internet connection has downloads limits, It will be free trough 1 to 8 AM local time so I have to upload these in those times!)
about hard time, my exams will end in next weeks so I will have more free time after that, but until then I can't have time!
We need MIU V5
Actually I use MIUI GTR on my XP from a long time, we need more interest from the developers, the Xperia P is the most forgotten phone, XP has more capacity than many others, and already others phones like xperia U and Sola has miu V5, I can't believe that happens to us, if up to me I change my phone for a xiaomi, because I really love MIUI but I can't find it, I think MIUI is the best Android layer of all companies in the world, samsung, sony, lg, motorola, htc sucks!!!! Wake Up Please... We need MIUI V5 on XP

thats bad, I read that in your dev thread.
So you are trying CM10 base now?
Maybe this can help you? This guy is trying to port MIUI v5 based on CM10 to the Xperia U. From what I could gather from that thread, he has phone/network running, but has problems with themes and also wifi. Look here: (ROM)(PORT)miui v5 base cm10 on xu
For theme bug, this seems to be the solution:
VocaloidBoy said:
for theme Bug may be you forget insert file invoke-as from MIUI V5 to system/xbin/ for fix it I think just put that file to system/xbin and put this string set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/invoke-as"); to updater-script

Yes, I tried out every new build that came to our forums, but I always came back to MIUI GTR, cause it is the best port of MIUI v4 for me. Others, like the stock based one were too laggy, and cm9 based stuff had too many bugs, like the "wifi-off during sleep" bug, that was never fixed in cm9.
And you are right, we dont have alot of devs here for our xperia P so we need to make sure the few we have, stay with us
You sounded a bit too demanding in your post, maybe it was unintentional... Dont forget that our devs do this in their spare time and get nothing in return for their work. So hammering on the thanks button every time a dev posts something for our device is a good thing to start

hope we can get somewhere!

Yes, I know it my friend, I always push the thanks button ,I just got carried away by the emotion of the moment, and know that MIUIv5 is so close to us, Also I wanted to ask you something more, Using MIUI GTR 3.2.22 One day my WIFI stopped working at all too and I re-flash kernel, and nothing. I ultimately had to re-flash the rom too, but it seems to me a very tedious process every time this happens to me, so... there's no another solution for that bug??? Thanks for your time and your effort

were you able to log in with your xiaomi account? without one you cannot download anything since they locked down the store...
keep an eye on the other sub-forums, many devs now working on v5, so maybe someone solved something before you. no need to do work twice
also I wonder what's up with @dimon2242 and @Dron_GTR? are you in contact with them?

I am with you dude. I just wish I could help patching the bugs, but I am just a very enthusiastic MIUI user and fan
MIUI GTR 3.2.22? can you link me to the version you are using? because I am not sure if you use the same one as me.
well, wifi problem: I used a wifi app to see if the hardware is still working and getting a signal. all was fine, good signal. But as soon as I tried to connect I always got the message "can't connect to network with poor Internet connection" or something like that, although that was definitely not the case. deep in the advanced wifi settings on stock roms there is an option to set if you want to connect to such networks, but I couldn't find this on MIUI.
so you also experienced exactly that?
I didn't make a logcat cause me personally can't fix it and development had sadly stopped, so no use for that logcat...
EDIT: Edited OP to make it more useful. Added MIUI rom reference for our Xperia P I will keep it updated and if you have more ideas for this thread, just let me know! :angel:
EDIT2: @sijav have you seen this port and this port of v5 on the XU section? First one has wifi working

well, wifi problem: I used a wifi app to see if the hardware is still working and getting a signal. all was fine, good signal. But as soon as I tried to connect I always got the message "can't connect to network with poor Internet connection" or something like that, although that was definitely not the case. deep in the advanced wifi settings on stock roms there is an option to set if you want to connect to such networks, but I couldn't find this on MIUI.
so you also experienced exactly that?
I didn't make a logcat cause me personally can't fix it and development had sadly stopped, so no use for that logcat...
EDIT: Edited OP to make it more useful. Added MIUI rom reference for our Xperia P I will keep it updated and if you have more ideas for this thread, just let me know! :angel:
EDIT2: @sijav have you seen this port and this port of v5 on the XU section? First one has wifi working

I told earlier that no wifi neither network or bluetooth is working so that means no connectovity to outer world
but looks like the themes won't do any hurts,
I'm making great success on getting network working but after I update my miui folder in patchrom to the latest I encounter countless problem that couldn't figure how to fix it,
after update I'm currently stuck at upgrading massage and also no usb connectivity when on boot animation or at upgrading or at recovery so really I can't find the problem and really not sure what the heck should I do!
about contacting well I believe people have their own problems me too, that's why I'm doing it so slow!
Dron_GTR already told me he wants to help but he has a great deal with his college projects so he can't do any help
about wifi I think I've got where is the problem, but I can't even boot this rom to make sure if the problem will solve or not neither adb is working to give me working information!
about your problems with wifi!
Just delete the dhcp folder under /data/misc/ folder! (you need a root explorer or something like that!
In miui V5 we have option to turn this avoid poor internet connection on or off!!
about those ports I have seen the second port and already made something of that but for first port thnx and will find out what will I get but before I make this stupid USB connectivity on I really can't do something

thanks so much for your work!!
maybe stay on the older patchrom folder then for now? you could always update to a newer version later once you got that one working...
and great to hear you will get help
just take your time, no need to hurry, there are more important things in life than a rom, I will wait patiently

folder deleted, thanks!
let's see if this happens again, because wifi works fine since last re-flash. but it was also fine the first time, then it suddenly stopped working.

oh well yes, I understood you, at least he said he WILL help you if he gets the time, so better than nothing I guess...
And believe me I really feel with you, it sounds almost like you have to start from scratch
by the way: one thing I noticed while looking at your github page: codename for Xperia P is nypon, not nypone...
As I don't have the abilities to help you on fixing stuff, all I can do is upload this image of a silly goose, which will hopefully put a smile on your face and keep you motivated

Good news MIUI friends! @percy_g2 seems to be willing to help @sijav with MIUI v5!
Lets hope for the best, @munjeni said his patchrom build for the GO is 80% done, rest is smali patching. At least all sources are online, so they can work together nicely

2017 Shield 7.1 developer firmware - feature requests

It is time to create a new thread to avoid the others from going fully out of control.
My kitchen is finally working fine again, the test firmwares so far function within my expections.
I don't really need much for my needs, meaning my personal firmware will be quite basic.
But I would like to also provide some nice firmware for those out there currently not considering to upgrade to the 7.2.x firmwares.
The basic idea is to have something ready to be flashed with TWRP to get a fully working and mostly already updated 7.1 with full root rights.
What shall go in in terms of stock or additional apps is up to you guys.
A filemanager? Name it...
Additional video player? Again, let me know which one is prefered.
Maybe something like HaLauncher to get easy access to the non TV apps?
Or shortcuts to launch them from the default launcher?
Ad blocker maybe?
Or some Magisk modules?
I think you got the basic idea!?
This type of thread is more suited in general/guides than a dev thread.. at least until custom rom links are available
Fair enough, I then first make one, then add what might be needed, then start again.
Well, then just remove or delete the topic until then I guess....
Can't seem to be able to do it myself, so please go ahead.
Will post again once the rom is done.
