The best custom rom for xperia mini, pro, activa , and lww has been kamarush's MINICMSandwich lite AOSP, today he released his v3 kernel and v4 Rom, (thank you kamarush!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
however there are a couple of things which we liked about the v3 rom (original aosp lite) and it has been changed/removed on the v4, i humbly request kamarush to took a look at this, im sure there are other ppl who feel the same way too (pleaze!)
minicmsandwich_se_aosp_lite VS update_minicmsandwich_lite_final
advantages in older version (aosp lite)
1)automatically downloaded internet settings for gprs date (v4 doesnt) , so that means for users who dont have wifi, we have to manually configure apn settings (not easy in india) and no file manager included so without data we cant even install applications to try on v4 rom!!!! (if no wifi)
2)live wallpapers excluded (the ics bubbles, and phase beam lwp are hard to find over the internet (in .apk format)
3)rom v3 felt more complete... let me elaborate on this one :
The New "Rom Control" included in v4 ... some of the options dont work properly ... like changing recent apps window to palm os stlyle, or sense style) , dont work , enabling boot screen wont work, (automatically checks "disable" after restart), the option to include auto kill all apps in recent wont work, and also the brightness control in the pull down bar is awkwardly aligned right (with no brightness icon on the left) , and THE whole ROM doesnt feel as lite as the v3. in v3 we could make the pull down bar look super cool , by flashing ics reloaded patches (google it) . // its okay to exclude all the AOKP rom control complications and revert back the previous version ...original aosp lite (was de best)
4)the contacts app in v4 aosp final lite has a ugly white and light blue ui rather than the dark black and ics blue ui like in the initial cmsandwich aosp lite. No options for "only display contacts with phone number" so contacts displays all the crap in ur google contacts...
Disadvantages Of v3
1)auto ration 2)camera 3)gsm data 4)vid recording 5)HD playback in gallary 5) games
A Perfect Custom Rom For These Devices (im a noob, or i would do it myself, so i rely on experts like kamarush for the job)
1)SE application installer , or samsung like file manager pre installed
2)auto gprs settings dowloading
3)stock camera, music app installed
4)may include DSP manager
5)all HW features fully working
6)may not include complicated features like "rom control" (aokp stuff)
7)may include "reloaded ics" status bar patches (only worked wid previous cm sandwich lite)
8)2.0 ghz overclock
9)may include cm7 like simpleness in changing lock screen, battery icon n stuff , also cm7 like settings (i haven't seen cm9 settings yet)
10)sticks closely to stripped down ics stock looks (dark blue and cayan blue lines)
//basically put ...all we want is a clean CM9 for xperia mini/mini pro/lww

I have a Galaxy 5 player (YP-G70), UK version, flashed with RJs 2.6.35.7 kernel, and the stock international European ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574207 )
The build prop has been edited to show GT-i9000 as device id to get some games working, and I have applied the adrenaline and supercharger scripts. The LCD density is set at the stock 240.
For some reason certain launchers on the market show as incompatible with my device (ie Zeam and Lightning Launcher) - even tho I downloaded the Zeam apk from the dev site and it works perfectly.
I would really like to play with Lightning - does anyone know why the market is saying the player is incompatible with these launchers ? I am thinking maybe they ask for SMS / Dialler rights which obviously the Player cannot provide ?
I currently have FTL Launcher Lite installed from market without a problem.
Last night I have installed the latest stable build of CM9 (Stable Release) on my GNote and noticed that the ROM does not come with the list of fonts that came with original Samsung ROM.
I noticed that I was able to change the system fonts (english) via using font installer like ROM Toolbox, however it doesn't seem to change the font of other language fonts?
When I switch fonts in Samsung ROM (ex. Choco Cooky) it seems to change the font accordingly in English or Korean (which I use a lot in SMS or KaTalk) but couldn't get that to work installing fonts via ROM Toolbox font manager.
Is there any way to install those fonts within CM9 so that fonts change just like the OEM ROM? (both korean and english)
Hello !
Is there a possibility of installing NXT SMS and phonebook apps on CM9 FW ? I don't like these white stock apps and love NXT's. I tried to replace CM9 apps and installing NXT ones but it is not working. Anybody knows how to achieve that ?
Regards, Joka
You need:root explorer,root,and nxt apps.put those apps in system/app and long press on them.select permission and set to read,write,execute
Read. Execute
Read execute.
Do this to all apps you moved,and then reboot.fingers crossed.
tried it before. Replacing phonebook.app cause FC and messaging app doesn't show in drawer
You might need some framework files for NXT apps to work.
That's how ThilinaC got Walkman to run on CM and AOKP (and MIUI afaik).
anyone knows how to do that ?
Hello guys,
I have Eudemony rom(deodexed). I've been using xposed for some time now.. And today I found out about HK theme manager. So I installed it, downloaded an Android Lolipop theme made for HK theme manager from this site: http://www.xposedgeek.net/2014/10/get-android-l-theme-on-all-android.html
But everytime I try to set the theme , then almost nothing happens(after reboot). Why am I saying almost ? Because I see a change in notification bar, where there are changed colours and the icon(shortcut) of settings is changed.. But nothing else...
Am I doing something wrong ?? Or is HK not compatible with touchwiz based roms ?
Thanks for help, if you guys know of any other way, how to get rid of touchwiz everywhere(even in setting and so on) then tell me I want normal stock UI and launcher + icon skin is not enough for me
Paul
