Sent from my X10i using XDA App
amazing!!!!!!!!! great job!
w00 h00 DLing now!
OK I have the arc_sounds from last time and I see its the same as you have here!
To be honest, I really only want ONE alarm, "eastern sky" I love waking up to that!
Just throw that in your next release!!! EHEHE
ok my noob question, does this have the dual touch built in? or do I need to add it?
edit25: I am not finding the scamble theme to select?
I wiped my Sd card and followed steps perfectly up to this step.
Rendeiro or anybody else running his new ROM at the moment, is this better than his old CM Gingerbread 2.2 or the same and do u get better scores?
I love the one i am on now, but always looking for better, especially from him. Rendeiros ROMS r always my favorite
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
Heres maybe possible fix for 720p delay, if someone want to test it here.

Theres no scramble option there. Looked in the sdcard to see if it was in /CMTHEME
and its not there. can you upload the file please cause its not in your .zip file I think.
Well.. I can officialy say that this is my new Daily Rom.
I havn't discovered any bugs in it yet. So will update and post any as they come.
I am sad to say that I did convert over to the HTC Inspire 4G but I moved this phone over for my work phone .. So now I got to kick ass phones to carrie around. Still HATE at&t.
Another small thing :
LOTS of FC on the music app and the music widget is really buggy.
I use bb 58, then this ROM can't have any signal. Any help?
I cannot change the CM theme to Gingerbread no matter how many times I reboot and that's pretty annoying.
EDIT: it was my bad, I forgot to flash the xRecovery part of my theme but still, couldn't find a way to change the default ROM font
The ROM seems pretty solid, will test and report back in a few days.

I think I found a bug with the battery mod.
It says I was at 20% but I had 23% exact. Does this circle mod not have an accurate battery reading?
This ROM features a stable enviroment [the most stable tested by me so far], with the least number of bugs (with 366BB), and probably one of the best performances.
Features: This ROM provides a default Portrait screen, it also has as the stock theme - TouchWizzedB (It looks like the Samsung ROM's, don;t know why i like it)
It features BeatsAudio, Bravia Engine and xLoud,
IIt provides a bootanimation and sound provided by Madhacker.
(if the bootsound is not on and you really want it, enter in terminal enablebootsound)
It also provides as the default launcher - GO Launcher Ex.
You can add [highlight]software[/highlight] capacitive buttons in the taskbar - thanks to nom051205 < Zip below
It was tweaked for daily use.
Skype has not been fully fixed, but i found a workaround, after rebooting, call someone, or a number like 444 then close, it should work, tested multiple times and it worked, i'm going to try and make a script to get rid of this step. (sometimes it works without doing a thing, so i think it is about luck )
Also, skype seems to leave the speaker on after singning out creating a huge battery drain, if you experience this kind of issue please remove your Skype and install this one, then go to advanced settings (in skype) > sound settings > disable sign-in/out sounds and Force speaker off after calls.
With those workarounds provided above, you should have a seamless experience with Skype..
FAQ:Q: Does it have USSD fix/Gapps/Phoenix Kernel?
Yes
Q: Is the WiFi stable?
With 366BB i have no problems with WiFi stability.
Q: Do i have to do a full factory reset if i come from other CM7 ROM?
No, just wipe dalvik cache, full factory reset is a must if you come from DSC/FroYo/Official 2.3.3.
Q: How do i flash 366BB?
You put your device in Fastboot, connect the USB and use a tool provided here or here.
Q: I can't install the ROM! Installation Aborted! (yeah, yeah, this is not a question..)
Open the zip file then you will see a folder, go into the folder, select all (meta.inf; system; boot.img) and re-zip those files and name it LXdroid 0.x.zip then flash it.
Credits to nom051205 for using his post almost copy-paste.
Q: What's wrong with Swype? It just FC's?
Install it manually, this should do the trick, you can find swype.apk in a link below.
Bootsound/Bootanimation Script Commands
Terminal commands for scripts:
enablebootsound - enables bootsound
bootsoundoff - turns bootsound off
bootsoundon - turns bootsound on after being turned off
newbootsound - /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 is copied as new bootsound
newbootanim - /sdcard/bootnanimation.zip is copied as new boot animation
(Probably you need to type su before those scripts, just saying...)
Credits go here.
Note: This is my first ROM, feedbacks and head-ups/tips would be welcomed in order to tweak it further.
--Added Screens for those who want to see something
You can upgrade to higher versions of LXdroid ROM without losing your data, just wipe Dalvik Cache!
LXdroid ROM 0.2 is provided as standalone flashable zip, it doesn't need 0.1 in order to work.

Download link LXdroid ROM 0.1 (old, useless, not needed)
Download link swype.apk
Hotfixes for LXdroid 0.2 for Autobrightness FC and xLoud and Bravia permissions found here!
Quick tutorial aka Roadmap to a Custom ROM -Download ADB/Fastboot tools + Drivers from here. (You need to install the drivers before you begin).
-Download MultiRecoveryFlasher from here.
-Download MultiBasebandFlasher from here or download dsp and baseband flasher by n0p and StreakOwner from here.
-Download a custom ROM like DSC (most stable in my opinion), Longhorn or, the one provided here.
Now let's get started for real!
1-Install the drivers.
2-Put your streak in fastboot by turning the phone off and after that powering on by holding down volume + power button.
3-Open MultiRecoveryFlasher and flash StreakMod recovery. Reboot.
4-Put your streak again in fastboot.
5-Open MultiBasebandFlasher and flash 366BB or the script provided alternatively (does the job all by itself ). Reboot.
6-Enter Recovery by turning the phone off and then powering on holding up volume + down volume + power button.
7-Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on Sd Card"
8-A Dell logo and an attention will appear, press power button once to show the menu.
9-Hit advanced to mount sdcard via PC, so the SD card will appear in you PC via recovery.
10-Copy the ROM you downloaded to the sdcard (preferably to root).
11-Hit back in recovery, choose install sdcard updade.zip, then choose zip from sdcard, browse for your zip, and hit the camera button then select yes.
12-After the installation is completed, hit back to the main screen of the recovery, and choose wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then choose advanced, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery status.
13-(It is recommended to reboot again and do a factory reset from the dell recovery, White Letters)
14-The system will take some time to boot up, but you are done, enjoy your custom ROM.-------------------------------In my opinion the fastest and easiest way to get a custom ROM--------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer:
This ROM was made primarly for my personal use, it provides elements from all over this Forum, Credits section thanks personally all and i thank more of them that are not listed there, it is based on CM7.2 mdpi by hPa, it has elements from Longhorn and others, as always do a nandroid backup just in case, and don't blame me for ruining your beloved streak, although i don't think you can .

I guess it has fixed CM settings (like setting cpu frequency from within the settings and fixed lockscreen on 160 or 180 ??

You can see the CPU settings, freq's and governors but you can't change them from the CM settings, i've included AnTuTu CPU Master Free in the ROM, and the locksreen it works fine on Ring and Lense, Rotary and Sliding Tab are small and aligned to the left. so i would say that no, it doesn't have them fixed as i didn't needed them, but maybe i will look into it.
Personally i use Ring Style at lockscreen and dial screen, with one ring only at lock and the default Freqs (128-998 mhz , Conservative).

You can use alternative software, as i mentioned, there is SetCPU or CPU Master Free, and CPU Master doesn't stay always on in RAM and you can set it to Set frequencies on boot
I think that CM frequiencies support must be added from the kernel, so i don't think i can do something about it

Hello!
I like the ROM!
Only the Longhorn 2.9.1 Quadrant 2300 points for that!
The LXdroid only 0.1 points in 1408.
Well, it's a huge difference.
Test Battery, but the IGO primo 9 to be strong!
This looks like a very fast everything works properly (from my experience it!)

I made this ROM without testing Quadrant,i never trusted that benchmark , i tested with AnTuTu Benchmark and it is not a big difference from Longhorn to LXdroid, i still need to tweak something more, but the overall feel is smooth as butter in my experience and the battery life is just great for me.

Introducing, a new ROM based on the amazing acervenky's Vision™Rom,
TinyXperiaLite™
Many people want simple, fast and bloat free ROMs. They only want the bare minimum ROM so that they can freely add and tweak (the ROM or directly, the sources) so as to customize it as they please. I know I do. I want to take a minimum ROM, flash it on my phone and then add AC!D Audio Engine 5.0 and Sony Xperia T Small Apps to it. These are my personal modifications that suit me. And similarly, there will be modifications that will suit others as well. So, presenting TinyXperiaLite. The main purpose of this ROM is to enable you to make what you want for your device. Add apps, features, change boot animation, add ring tones and what not because this ROM weighs in only at 76 MB (for Release v0.1) and can support all your demands.

DISCLAIMER
Please don't blame me if you BRICK your phone. I will not be held responsible. You are using my work only because you choose to, and you must remember that this is experimental and the user should know the risks involved in using a custom ROM.
Also, I will not be held responsible for any lost data.
Additionally, I will also not be held responsible for the End of the World (blame the Mayans for that), or for Thermo Nuclear War.
Battery & RAM Tweaking Guide
Battery Calibration Tutorial
FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
BATTERY CALIBRATOR on Play Store - 47 KB size
2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
4. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
5. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
6. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
7. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extra Battery Saving Tips:
1. Set a brightness level. Do not use Auto Brightness, it sips more power in turn.
2. Set ROTATION to OFF if you are not using Landscape Mode at all.
3. Use EXTENDED BATTERY Mode if you actively use WiFi/Mobile Data.
RAM Cleaning
- Do not use task killers
- Freeze/Move to Quarantine those APPS which you DO NOT USE regularly and you don't want them TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND
APP QUARANTINE on Play Store
Go ahead, try it. Move all unwanted apps to quarantine now!
DEEP SLEEP STATE battery saving
Your phone sips the least amount of power when it is in DEEP SLEEP STATE. There is a new app in the marketplace which can FORCE DEEP SLEEP STATE on your phone. This is especially useful if you want the phone to conserve battery for hours and then wake up for a minute and sync all new alerts in one go. This can help prolong your usage on a single charge.
DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER on Play Store
This app is under development and can be found on XDA developers forums itself. Here's the link to the thread:
[APP] [2.1+] Deep Sleep Battery Saver
How Deep sleep Battery Saver works
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off. During deepsleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc, which is defined by deepsleep frequency and woke up duration
By constantly put device into deepsleep mode, we will save battery life due to no Internet connection, and therefore most of network-based apps, such as Facebook, Gmail will not work.
Caution: during deepsleep mode on, this app may disrupt your normal activities, such as your email notification comes with larger delay.
In advanced mode, you can customize more parameters, including day/night settings, active period, screen timeout, sync strategy, ignored apps, etc,.

Hi!
What features are here apart from removed bloatware, I'm talking about tweaks...supercharger, wi-fi 3g tweaks...?
One of my friends has xperia Go, on which I gained him root access, but I can't find a good simple tweaked rom for locked bootloader.
Thanks
SuperCharger V6, Mali400, SQLite, ZipAlign.
These tweaks are there in every custom ROM my friend..
Nobody try?
Thanks for the reply. I will tell that my friend of this rom, but it will be a long way and it should be tested from another with locked bl before, because I can't be responsible for him.
Anyway many thanks for your work! I will follow this thread.
Locked Bootloader will be safer I guess. Anyways thanks!
Cant flash rom stock

23/002/2013 12:02:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Just tried it. I love the bootanimation and xperia z launcher with 4x4 app drawer. The only problem is the tab n grid is outdated. On startup there's a notification saying "a large number of sms are being sent. I tried to update the tab n grid and it worked fine. Also the CWM is still there.
EDIT: The themes were gone. I can't select other themes.
UPdate: In order to make the app drawer 4x4, you have to clear xperia home data in settings.
Update: In order to change themes, you have to go to settings >> display. There's no option to change theme on launcher. Please fix it.

Just tried it. I love the bootanimation and xperia z launcher with 4x4 app drawer. The only problem is the tab n grid is outdated. On startup there's a notification saying "a large number of sms are being sent. I tried to update the tab n grid and it worked fine. Also the CWM is still there.
EDIT: The themes were gone. I can't select other themes.
UPdate: In order to make the app drawer 4x4, you have to clear xperia home data in settings.
Update: In order to change themes, you have to go to settings >> display. There's no option to change theme on launcher. Please fix it.

Stock launcher has no home preferences. That is a modified version of stock launcher, search in xda "stock launcher mdpi". Then you will have to copy "home.apk" (exchange with old one) and "home preferences.apk" to /system/app and edit properties -rw -r -r. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
But you should try this rom.

Thanks for the help out:laugh:
What's battery life like using this rom? I'm interested because it sounds promising that it may provide a good, crisp, basic rom which may lead to longer battery. Any info greatly appreciated...
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

refer from Q&A forum, there is some rule that i found on 1st page:
here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907900&page=67
want to post here then have to follow some rules.
-NO OFF-TOPIC

I think, it was possible to write in other language if you post an english tutorial
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.

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
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3
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
You guys on XDA ROCK..... always love people sharing ideas.

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.

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

Congratulations! I believe it work well. But now I am happy with MIUI.
What is ParrotMod?
This is a mod to greatly improve the performance of the 2012 Nexus 7, on ANY rooted Android 4.3+ ROM.
It doesn't work on Nougat. I can't fix it, because I don't own this device anymore - I gave it to a friend's little brother.
Feel free to fork it and fix that.
(Got a 2013 Nexus 7? Use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...eta-1-parrotmod-improve-2013-nexus-7-t3375928)

GitHub:
https://github.com/parrotgeek1/ParrotMod_Nexus_7_2012
Feel free to fork/pull request! But always credit me if you make something based on it and tell me in a PM or email.
IMPORTANT NOTE
ParrotMod needs 8MB of free space on the system partition. Don't use huge gapps packages.
ParrotMod requires a recovery that has BusyBox built in. (All versions of TWRP do. CWM does not.)
PLEASE disable IO scheduler/RAM/read ahead tweaks in kernel apps. They override ParrotMod's meticulously optimized settings.

EVEN IF YOUR ROM HAS BUILT IN ROOT LIKE CYANOGENMOD, TURN IT OFF IN SETTINGS, THEN FLASH SUPERSU!!
Does NOT support PHH/MagiskSU, ONLY SUPERSU
If the installer warns you about TRIM on boot being disabled, it's a good idea to schedule TRIM using an app like Trimmer, or just leave your tablet on overnight (on silent) instead of turning it off, so it can automatically trim.
You can tell if ParrotMod is working by checking if the file /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb contains "0", using a root explorer. Do NOT use ROM Toolbox or Root Browser, otherwise you will not be able to see the folders. Use Solid Explorer or FX.
Features:
FLASH MEMORY SPEED INCREASE! up to 4x better performance WITHOUT F2FS OR DYNAMIC FSYNC
Auto trim at boot, but ONLY for Samsung flash storage (it is too slow for Hynix/Kingston)
Uses ext4 but can use data/cache f2fs
Audio stutter and multitasking fix
Miracast enabled (but it freezes on disconnect unless you unplug from the receiver end)
Can set up device without Wi-Fi
Bluetooth 4.0 enabled (BLE/GATT/SMP), CVE vulnerabilities fixed (for 5.x)
More apps open at once (minfree tweak, scheduler tweaks, 64k log buffers, zram optimized)
LCD color fix (no Nvidia smartdimmer/Prism)
Internet optimizations
Can use more storage space before it doesn't let you download things
Survives ROM updates with addon.d
Tethering without carrier checks on 3G Nexus 7
Speed up full disk encryption
GPU optimizations (without OC!) and hardware acceleration properties, decrease GPU RAM usage by 4.4mb per app!
Reverted to dlmalloc for reducing ram usage / ART_USE_HSPACE_COMPACT enabled for better garbage collection [Not on 5.0.x]
Instructions - From unrooted stock 5.1.1
Download the KingRoot apk from here on your tablet, install it, ignore the warnings about the app being unsafe, and tap Root. If it says root failed, try again. It will eventually work.
Install Flashify from the Play Store
Download the latest Universal zip in the download link above on your tablet
Download the SuperSU zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable on your tablet
Open Flashify and install TWRP recovery, the latest version
Open the KingRoot app, tap Menu 3 dots icon, General settings, uninstall KingRoot
Delete the KingRoot and Purify apps
Plug your tablet into a computer! (not even a charger) otherwise it will freeze on the next step. This is a bug in the tablet itself.
Reboot your tablet while holding the power and volume down buttons. If this does not work power on while holding BOTH volume UP and DOWN.
Scroll with volume buttons to Recovery mode and tap power button
You will see a Google screen and then TeamWin logo, just wait
Tap Never show this screen again and Swipe to allow modification
Tap Install
You will see the files on your internal storage, go to Download folder
Tap on ParrotMod_XXXXXXX.zip
Tap add more zips
You will see the files on your internal storage, go to Download folder
Tap on UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip
Swipe to confirm flash
When it finishes installing tap Reboot System
Your tablet will reboot
Wait 30 seconds for the device to settle
Enjoy the improved speed! (You can delete ParrotMod_XXXXXXX.zip now)

Upgrade notes
It is safe to flash new ParrotMod versions without wiping data.
IF YOU UPGRADE MAJOR ANDROID VERSIONS YOU MUST WIPE SYSTEM, FLASH THE WHOLE ROM, AND REINSTALL PARROTMOD.
UPGRADING ROM BUILDS WORKS FINE! In ROMs with addon.d support, it will even keep ParrotMod installed.
Please don't use with ParrotMod:
L Speed/any other "supercharger" like tweaks. I will ignore any support requests if you use them. Most are very badly programmed/full of placebos.
Disable journaling zip (it conflicts with my script, and doesn't improve performance)
Don't limit background processes, it might even make the tablet SLOWER. As of version 2016-04-30, the installer script removes this setting from build.prop automatically.
Known Bugs
Doesn't work on most Nougat ROMs
Miracast will freeze the tablet on disconnection unless you disconnect from the TV/dongle side. This is a common Tegra issue.
The optimizations to the ART runtime do not work when Xposed is installed, and you will see reduced performance! They also don't work on 4.4.x or 5.0.x.

Thanks to bangsergio on XDA for testing several dozen beta versions.
Thanks to @nereis for showing me a zram tweak.
How ParrotMod Works
ParrotMod works by trying to counteract the slow flash storage speed, by decreasing unnecessary reads and writes, and also optimizing how well processes share the bandwidth.
To optimize RAM, it also changes minfree values, replaces libart and libc with optimized versions (reverting to the memory allocator that was in 4.4.4), and enables zram (but in a less CPU intensive compression mode).
It also enables GPU clock scaling instead of throttling based on CPU speed, to improve performance in GPU-bound games. It also disables Nvidia PRISM adaptive backlight to fix washed out screen in videos.
It increases the CPU priority of audio players, and the hd-audio0 kernel thread, to fix sound stutter when multitasking.
Finally, it increases wifi transmit power and noise filter in nvram.txt to increase wifi range.
I also made my own patch to enable Miracast.
Looks nice :3 Sounds like a very good ROM for newbies, I'd be happy if you'd do the same ROM with the 3.4 kernel when it comes out and CM13/Android 6.0 AOSP.

Maybe if I have beta testers. The Nexus 7 is now in the hands of its (much happier) original owner. Almost all of the mods in this zip except /system/lib and mira4u apk should work M though. Also probably tilapia if you remove the assert in updater script which I will do soon
To make it even simpler for newbies, why not use Wugfresh to root from stock 5.1.1? It's so much easier than your method.

Is this a rom or a simple mod to install over stock lollipop, because the downloadable zip only has 13mb?

It's a mod because my internet is too bad to upload the whole rom. Uploading this takes 7 min

Doesn't that erase data?
[This post was for a test feature which has been merged into the mod]
well this is my personal experience with this rom
coming from virgin unrooted, locked bootloader, never been into the darkside with my given by best friend nexus 7 (2012 and 16gb)
always OTA updated until 5.1.1
can't stand with lag and everythings else.
a litte bit google and found this thread.
so i factory reset my nexus
download parrot rom (saved in download folder)
download kingroot (saved in download folder too)
install es file manager from playstore, browse to download folder, install kingroot
running kingroot
download super SU
install flashify from play store
running flashify and choose recovery, choose TWRP, download and flash TWRP. after finish press back button
uninstall kingroot and purify
reboot into recovery (power off first. power on while holding BOTH volume UP and DOWN) until boot screen appear. -in firstpost say just power and vol down, well is not working for me. i have to hold both volume keys.
in TWRP recovery backup my current rom (just in case no body knows whatt would happend in the future)
after that select install
select parrot
add super SU
and waitt........
viola everything running smooth as butter. no more delay.
will stay in this rom for now.
just hoping may be in the future just add playstore. so we can download everything else we need and no redundancy.
thank you for your effort making this rom

what? do you mean delete more preloaded google apps? If so, I'm maybe thinking about replacing Play Music with Eleven or Shuttle, and add motorola camera and gallery instead of google photos, and CM12.1 browser & also viper4android

Try to rapitly insert and erase the charger few times. That works for me.
Just a question, it is a mod I can use with any rom ?
I am on Orion rom.
thanks.

Yes, if you open the zip and delete the contents of /system/priv-app and /system/app. Also delete any thing in the updater script that has delete(...) or delete_recursive, and the line in the patch prop.sh that has lmy47v in it. Then rezip
if you use it on marshmallow it will bootloop unless you delete libstagefright_wfd and libMira4U. But then miracast won't work
If your rom has stagefright fixed delete libstagefright_EVERYTHING-BUT-wfd.so and libutils and libcutils
I'm going to make a universal version later, sorry
EDIT: you have to flash SuperSU even if your rom includes built in su

Sorry for OT. I know this issue and I know how to resolve it. It's a problem with the flat cable of the micro USB port. With a little tear down you can resolve the problem. Take off the back cover, screw the speakers and USB board, detach flat cable and put a piece of transparent tape above it in order to make more pressure on pins. Reassemble all the components and take a look if the problem still here
Interesting.
Cam I flash this over my already rooted device from or will I need to start from scratch again.
