Excuse me, I just want to request full working Backup-wizard from Xperia S ICS. Can you share me Xperia S ICS Backup-wizard with required libs and etc ?
im just amazed about that app, it runs like titanium backup without root and it is official release by sony...
just want to port it to other 2011 lineup thats why im asking also for the libs etc files cuz the app crashes after normal installation, and i think somethins missing thats why its not working....
thanks a lot...
Hello everyone.
I have made a Rom for Xperia Mini ST15i called as Xperia Nexus. I have named it as Nexus because I have used trebuchet as the launcher and my rom has the smoothness of Nexus phones
I have got a Xperia S for myself and hence I will be leaving this forum. I will need to port my rom to all other MDPI too. So, my question is that would anyone be interested in continuing developing my rom? If you are interested, please pm me and I will bring you up to speed with the Rom info.
Some features :-
1. Unlimited Boost V6
2. ThilianaC's Walkman Player with gracenote working for unlocked bootloader.
3. Some build.prop tweaks.
4. Buttery smooth trebuchet launcher from CM9.
5. Very light and completely debloated.
6. Official Adreno ICS Libs by Jobayer for best 3D performance. ( Even better than the JB libs)
7. Serajr's SystemUI.apk
8. Busyboxed and pre-rooted with latest Superuser app and binaries.
9. Quadrant score of 1525 with kernel panic and stock frequencies.
10. Everything else is stock. No theming at all except the launcher so that performance is maxed out.:laugh:
11. Around 200mb of free ram.
Thanking you,
abcdjdj.

Thanks a lot alokbina. This thread can now be closed.
Thread closed per OP's request
Hi people,
I hope this can help those who ask some common questions in all threads or just don't read the OP or the OP hasn't Q&A, so let's start.
Q: How to enable the developer options on CM10.1/10.2?
A: Settings>About phone> click 7 times on Build number.
Q: Where can I find gapps?
A: Here.
Q: The call volume is too low, why?
A: This’s a known issue not only in Xperia phones but in the most 4.1.x & 4.2.x roms on other phones. Anyway, check your baseband. If you are not using the newest, update it here: How to Install JB, ICS or GB on Xperia™ Smartphones, as well as root them.
Or/And: Decreases the volume and increase it during a call.( this tip works for me, I'm using BB.77 but should work with other basebands too).
Q: My camera doesn’t work properly, 720p still has low quality, blablabla… why?
A: Because Sony doesn’t release JB camera libs for Sony Xperia 2011 phones, so you can wait till any developer make some kind of magic or sign this petition: "JB Camera libs for all Sony Xperia 2011 Phones".
Q: Why my Wi-Fi doesn't work?
A: Before reporting that it doesn't work, use the kernel (boot.img) inside the rom (.zip).
Q: How to enable the pie controls & navigation bar?
A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to activate the on screen buttons (Navigation Bar). Then go to Settings>System>Power menu>Expanded desktop & activate it & then you will see pie control in the Settings>System menu.
Q: How to enable lockscreen rotation?
A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line lockscreen.rot_override=true to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to take effect.
Q: How to disable buttons backlight? (This's only for JB 4.2.2 old releases)
A: First you need a file explorer, then go to /system/etc & edit the hw_config.sh file like that:
# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
echo 500 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
Change the value to:
# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
After editing, save the file & restart your phone to take effect.
This new method is for Mike's CM10.1 rom (04/06/2013 & 17/06/2013 builds) or other roms based on his rom:
First download this file & then, using a file explorer, copy the file to /system/etc/init.d & set permission to rwxr-xr-x (0755), then restart your phone to take effect.
Thanks to AndyYan
Q: While flashing a rom I get "status 7" error, how to fix it?
A: This happens because you have probably wiped the system. See here how to fix it.
Q: My compass doesn't work correctly with Google Maps, Google Earth, etc. How to fix it?
A: Try this. First you need a file explorer, then go to /system/etc/sensors.conf. If by default is like that:
#Setup AKM897x axis
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 1,0,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = -1,1,1
Then change the values to:
#Setup AKM897x axis
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = -1,-1,1
Caution: Create a backup of your default sensors.conf file & after editing, restart your phone to take effect.
Thanks to mmhasanovee
Q: How can I help the development of any ROM?
A: Not with, "+1", "FC", "me too", "same bug here", blablabla. These comments are useless.
Q: So, how can I really help?
A: Simple. Remember doing this you're helping the developer & yourself, you're intelligent, so you understand what I'm saying, right!?!
Do that in the right ROM thread:
Phone model:
Baseband version:
ROM version:
Did you?
wipe:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:
Are you using?
a task killer:
the kernel (boot.img) in the zip or other:
Settings/Performance settings (other than default):
What steps will reproduce the problem?
But the most important thing is this: attach a LOGCAT of the problem.
Q: Ok nice, but I’m noob & I don’t know how to LOGCAT, where can I learn?
A: Here, here or stop being lazy & search in XDA forums.

Is there any proper working walkman mod for this ROM??
RAM issue
Hi there,
I have SE Neo Mt15i.
I am using this ROM for the last 2 days. No problems at all. Everything is working.
Kernerl from ROM.
Battery - acceptable.
But RAM is awful. In running apps its always jump from 0-50Mb free [email protected]#?
Check the attached screenshots? Why is that?
Thank you.
Sokki
Hi cyberdejy,
Which rom are you using? I'm using Mike's LX rom & I get 140~170 free ram, I use greenify app too.
Lock screen customization not work well.
Can you give me a description of shell.apk, please?
Hi @mauam. A lot of people are asking about wifi not working on mike's LX ROMs, because they don't flash the kernel included in zip. Can you add this question to your FAQ? Something like Q: "Why is my wifi not working?" A: "Flash the kernel(boot.img) included in zip file"
Thanks

Hello guys, I am new to this forum. I recently purchased refurbished X dual from ebay for very low price. I am a big fan of Sony. Previously i used Xperia ZR.
I updated X dual to Oreo. I had a few questions.
1. Can we port the headphones selection feature that i seen in my ZR. Check the screenshots i posted below about headphones feature.
2. Can we port new Sony lockscreen clock in XZ2 and XZs/XZ1 lockscreen clock to our X dual without root?
3. Can we change the color of notification panel to new black like in XZ2?
4. Also while listening songs, the music app notification not changing the colors based on the songs we listen. I hope you guys understand my poor English fluency.
5. Does the X model recieve 8.1 update in near future?
6. Guys, I want to change the X dual system font to Products Sans like Pixel. Does anyone observed Google maps is showing Pixel phone font!
7. Notifications feature on X dual Oreo are not completely optimised. I can't maximise the notications i mean i can only see some part of notification message.
8. How to get Google app widget rounded corners like in XZ2?
9. Are there any other features i can install from XZ2 ?
10. Guys, i can install Google Camera but the app not opening for a second. It's not working at all.
11. Guys, what are the best camera settings u advise? How to completely prevent audio noise/ disturbance while recoding videos?
12. How to get pixel like power off user interface without installing any app? Any other pixel features we can install in our X?
if you think all these can be achieved without having Root access
then
NO sir, its not possible!
if your Boot is UNLOCKED!
you can flash Xgen!
its MODDED stockRom by @Chippa_a on latest oreo has almost all XZ2 features embedded to X
Thanks for the reply. What about 8.1 OS ? Do you think Sony will release 8.1 OS update to X dual?
If i install XGen Rom with Magisk module enabled can i use bank apps and games like Super Mario Run i mean they don't support Custom Roms or rooted OS.
I also had a doubt can i get the gaming performance like stock? I don't know this but i observed in my old mobile Xperia ZR that after installing some custom rom, the gaming performance was so bad. Normal 2d games like shadow fight 2 lagged on custom rom. I remember that custom ROMs needs some driver to play games.

1. X is more likely not to receive either Kernel 4.4 OR 8.1
2. yes you can hide ROOT from certain apps via magisk
3. again if root access can be hide via magisk for Super Mario, its more likely to work
4. ZR to X its a long way! everything is different now, Android has changed! , Xperias have improved alot! the Custom Rom you tried on ZR was different story and Xgen on X is totally differen.
please note that Rooting X is a LONG process. mainly because to rescue DRM KEYS

1., 9., Yes
2., 3., 6., 8., Yes (but only with root).
everything else except 11 - no.
As YasuHamed mentioned, you can install either X-Gen or (if you know Russian well and can use 4PDA) eXistenZ. It'll give you most of the features you've asked us.

Here I must correct you. Two days ago X has received k4.9 from CAF, but it's only for SODP.
That means we will have 4.9 in custom ROMs.
But yeah, stock will never receive neither 4.4 (because nobody at Sony wants to do it for any device) nor 8.1 (same reason + they have some problems porting their UI to 8.1 but shish that's a secret).

A-a-a-a-another addition here. He was probably using non-stock based custom ROM. If he'll use OmniROM or AOSP, he will likely experience the same problems as he experienced on ZR, cause of the drivers. But I've never tested anything performance-heavy on k4.4+, so can't say if it's true or false.

1. since the post started on the point of where user had locked boot loader so all the answers given keeping STOCKROM in prespective only , LOIRE kernel4.4 is OUT (different OEM Binaries supporting New Android Code) from SONY only but they wont develop any STOCKROM on that. it will be for AOSP, or third party rom such as Omnirom or Lineage etc. (from Market point of view- X is history for sony)
2. I beg to differ, I had tried 3rd party roms on my Z devices and on X devices, the result was different in performance and speed. so Unless he tries we wont know.
Guys, why Xperia keyboard is not working on our X. I installed some old model Xperia keyboard it was installed it worked for a second but then it closed with some error message! Why this happening?! In apkmirror site it shows the latest Xperia keyboard supports 8.0 OS but still why is it not working on our X?

the new signed Xperia Keyboard (by sony) from any apkmirror site, fails to install! you will have to flash it via twrp! or try older versions!
btw
Swiftkey given in X is much better! it has embeded clipboard and smart memory of my recent words! predictions are amazing!
in short i have froze my default keyboard in my older xperia and using swiftkey!
Xperia keyboard is clean and simple. Swift key has many features and i like it but i want a keyboard with simple user interface. I installed Gboard. It looks as minimal as Xperia keyboard. I want to know why Xperia keyboard not supporting our X model?
By the way the earphones came with Xperia X doesn't support Noise Cancelling why? Can anyone tell the X dual earphones model no.? Ebay sent me MH 750 earphones and they looks so bad. My old Xperia ZR came with best earphones I don't know the model but they just sound more better and feel much premium in hands! X dual earphones doesn't feel good in hands they look so cheap.
Guys, I found Xperia keyboard 8.0.A.0.110 (March 8,2017) working perfectly well on X dual Oreo OS!
