I forget to notice these things. My fault I'll take a look for it later.

In this point, I was deliberately to repackage the official sounds into a pure Windows Phone tones, i've got dilemma about adding and replacing before. And if it's the matter i will bring it back to this rom so users can use WP or Xperia tones at one's pleasure.

For the other theme, i still re-design this things especially for Settings interface into Windows Phone look-a-like style. And about statusbar, i still trying to find the code to set by default the display statusbar into all interface from the launcher.

As we can see, this is still using an official SystemUI, i will replace it into another one like your criteria for sure alongside the settings themes. It's for my fineness too

I just wanted to create something new in our device, of course i'll take care about optimization on games and battery soon while improving many issue for this rom

it's my reckless. I'll take a look for this as fast as i can. For a while, for accessing the call which using # sign can use an original dialer from app drawer As we know, this bugs is from the apps. Maybe i'll change it until this bugs is solved.
- For attachment screenshot, it's my mistake to place a wrong SS into the album. That is another test from me. I'll delete it and change it to the right one
Once again, thank you so much for the review, it's so helpful for me. It's my new acquaintance, and I still need a lot of learning and off course so many guidance from the master in this forum who have much much more experienced.
:highfive::laugh::laugh:

For reboot/screenshot in powermenu you can use xposed framework with advanced powermenu module.
I think it should work

Thanks for the advice sir, it would be very helpful for me. I'm going to try to do according to what you suggest. Especially on Xpose framework is.

Well, I got to admit that I installed this rom just for curiosity, just to see how does WP looks (never had one), and after a few minutes go back to Xperia Play Z (my current daily rom). But after flashing it, I got AMAZED with the fluidity and the realism of the look and feel of this rom. I even got an OTA for a couple apps, for which android asked for permission to install non-google play apps, which I never thought was possible on a port due to the kernel and the android rom base. I feel like a kid with a new toy and after exploring few time I have found a few things:
- In the calculator app (which)is far better than the stock one of android) options, you can go to settings and set the custom (WP themed) status bar. Then it changes to another version with battery percentage, an "EN" mark, which means english is the language used and a "COM" mark which I have no idea of wht it is. Maybe this could be useful to fix the status bar for all other apps
- I got lots of FC on the "music" app, I mean the music module that allows browsing though the artists and albums, and plays songs, but NOT to the main interface of the "zune" app. When it FC it gets back to the main app.
- xda app is not really an app, it seems to be a link to xdadevelopers page, but when you choose to open it with the browser it doesnt work
- this is not aimed at gaming, but you should work on it cause when playing heavy games it suddenly locks the screen, not the WP lockscreen but the android one, and sometimes games FC too
Those are little things but if you correct them this rom will be more inmersive and rockin hard

One more suggestion that might build me up, thanks @julian280 who was willing to use this rom although only a few minutes. Yes i know about too many lack of this rom. As we know it's still warming, and I also still doing more focused on optimizing the use of internal apps to make it more convenient in the next release. Besides, optimization in terms of gaming a bit neglected (it'll continue to tryin in its development).
About calculator app, information accepted, i don't even know if there is a feature like that on these apps. "COM" mark in here may mean to be an initials provider that we use, I can't find the word "COM" mark however "TELK" mark, that means TELKOMSEL maybe, one of provider in my country which I plug in to my device
About music player, i didn't met this probs before. But, you might be right. Like Apps risk maybe.
About XDA shortcut, off course this is just a symbolic. I will probably make XDA Apps as a build-in app to turn on the XDA shortcut function, or even i will remove it.
And about the most important things. There was no denying that this point is absolutely right, because I still lack in terms of gaming tweak. Of course I will always optimize it in the future. That's for sure, cuz we all know, this is Xperia Play
The build up suggestions definitely will make this rom much better especially for me

great job bro, keep it up, am proud one of my friend can be part of rom customization, will get to your place and take some tutorial for this :good:

yeah, you're right, the "COM" mark is the carrier logo. My service provider is CLARO, but was formerly called COMCEL. In other roms it appears as COMCEL in the lockscreen and the apn settings still have the old config, despite it has been like 1 year of the name change.
Maybe you can improve this rom by checking the windows phone forums for better apps and stuff. Also you could include performance boosters like some libs and scripts (pizza box and supercharger are some examples) but remember to ask for permission first or maybe ask for collaboration and help by PM to experienced devs.... Most people here is so kind and helpful, that´s what makes xda so amazing!!!!
