I have created this thread for requesting the devs for compiling cm7 ROM for our wave's device
As everybody knows that wave has very less ram and in jb and kitkat ROMs after installing several apps and gapps it lags like hell
so if anybody can build cm7 for waves it will be appreciated for devs it will not take much effort so please make it
Hm good idea..
But:
1. Source od Android 2.3.6?
2. Kernel (zImage)?
Bootloader and Fota we have.
A Early build You can find
AT this Forum its froyo

u can download official cm7 sources and there are many compress sources across 200 to 300 mb
u can compile it inlinux

well i have knowledge in porting ROM, it would be easy to port bettwen i9000 and s8500, just edit kernel, keys, build.prop and some google codes.. but i dont have testdevice, i to brick phone is very easy with this
If you use badadroid as basis, you can't brick the phone since it do everything on virtual partitions...
But it need to adapt all the work oine by the badadroid team on a GB kernel
Maybe possible to use Oleg froyo sourrces, update to GB and backport all new things from badadroid (wave 2 compatibility,modem,wifi,gps...)
I think GB also work with 3.x kernel so there is nothing to worried cause jb and kitkat also uses same version of kernel
Now, this is interesting, given the amount of RAM we have nothing would run better than GB.
Hmm.. true story

I have one really wierd question that might piss off some badroid devs, and I am very sorry about that. But, why was kitkat ported to Wave and not JB ot GB? I mean, low RAM is really a bad problem and with GApps, the lag is a bit anoying.

Jb has been ported to wave, (Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3) but are not updated (see old badadroid threads) (GPS is only on 4.4 i think, maybe on 4.3).
Also, ICS has been ported to wave 1 by mike (that's the beginning of Badadroid project), upgrading the GB kernel from Oleg, if i remember correclty (that's old). But in Mike ICS or Oleg GB, only wave 1 is supported, and there is no network.
kitkat is big joke from google
even wave2(ics) is faster than note2(kitkat)
google was saying at the time of release of kitkat that it is optimised for low ram device
but its very hard to find anything running official kitkat with less than 1 gb ram
BTW to my understanding virtual RAM partitions on solid storage are very likely to damage it if I'm not wrong.
And yeah, KKs main goal was to fix the nonsensical performance hit taken from the 4.3 update, IMO they could have done even better by trying to optimize it for even lower end hardware, such changes would be noted around the whole device lineup, still its noticeably better than 4.3 and pretty close to 4.2/4.1 levels

zRam doesn't damage nand or SD, but swap does.
zRam use real RAM and compress it, but swap create file on SD or Nand, and constantly write on it.
Flash memory have a limited write lifetime (like SSD), so, using swap is not good for flash memory.
Not dangerous, but it use it faster.

But, I did not make the swap file on SD card, but in the internal partition of bada, that is the bada_app or something like that. All I know is that it is in the internal memory, so if I use it, will it damage it ?

Yeah, as BenzoX said, use a microSD for the swap partition, if you kill the internal storage you'll probably be screwed.

OK! So, thats the kind of sh!t you dont wanna do. Deleting it ASAP. Thanks for the info guys.
But, without that, the ROM is pretty slow.

Hi! same old question
I know you guys have folio100 with 512MB ram.
But anyway, mine has 1GB.
Cyanogenmod 05.04.2011 gives me only 512MB ram.
foliomod and folionotion gives me about 770MB ram.
up to now the only custom rom that gives me what ram I deserve is:
folio3x v03a by dexter_nlb, which gives me 1GB memory, great multitasking experience.
But, as you know v03a of folio3x is not so stable, and suffer from a lot of issues.
so, I'd be grateful to whoever will give me a hand on this, it can be a little knowledge of how to build custom roms, or a way to modify those roms to make them see my real ram.
Thanx Everyone!!!
If you want HC, flash second version(...v2.0) and flash sensors and graphics drivers patshes and flash OC'ed kernel. This mix is the best for me and it's the most stable.

There is a kernel for xperia active that supports this?
I think mesa and panik kernel support these functions, correct me if I'm wrong
but still not able to run the swap ... I can run swapper only in fat32
Also rage has swap but need to put the script for it in init.d, but tbh there really is no point in using swap...
I need a solution because I love the MIUI rom but after some time of use is heavy and slows
Hello
I used Ramexpander in Ice Cream Pureness because it supported swap. I had no errors during the week, but now i switched to Xperia Ultimate HD and now. My bootloader is locked so obviously i used stock kernel. I thought that swap is depended on the kernel, but now in ultimate hd ram expander says my kernel doesn't support it. It is kinda wierd because i have the exact same kernel as in ICP but now i can't use swap.
but i really liked that i can have multiple apps open and could easily switch between them without the need of reloading them. can someone explain me this? :victory:

It reduces it significantly but these cards can bear a lot of write cycles... your battery or phone will crack first and if the card is starting to die you can tell because it's capacity decreases because of the degradation of cells but it's a long process

no...swap has to be pre-enabled on the kernel. Ask the kernel dev about it,or use one with swap.
---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------
you can also add it through a flashable zip.

I am on stock and i didnt applied any zip but swap was enabled on other rom but now that i have changed the rom i don't have. Stock sony kernel because my bl is locked
You need zram_start.sh inside system/bin (for stock kernel)for zram to work,see if there is,if not use the one from previous rom..

Sirs, have any idea to make stock kernel to be swap support?
Hello, everyone. I just bought an old Xperia mini and it is very slow (lagging so much) and I think an upgrade to Kitkat could help it faster but I am not sure about it and do not want to waste the time if it is not really worth it (newbie). So, could you help me with these answer?
1. How approximately fast (percent?) is the Kitkat custom room (carbon rom, pacman...) vs. 4.0.4 Sony xperia mini stock room?
2. How big is the custom room (typically) in comparison to the Sony stock room (My phone always notified me that there is not enough space to install apps despite the fact that I moved most of apps to SD card)
3. (Do not know it is suitable to ask) Which Kitkat custom room is the smallest size? I do not need to customize and my need is very basic.
4. Could I return to Sony stock rom (4.0.4) later if I want?
Thank you

1. it will blast you away. never thought it could be that good (Sony ics is very laggy:silly
2. ROM storage & data (app) storage are to diffrent partition a smalller rom doesent means really u will hav more space for apps, but:
a) never had space probelms with any LX build in apps (& yuo said your needs are basic)
b) u can use mount2sd or app2sd to put apps on SD to gain more space
3. if you say ur needs are basic use LX CM10.1 it has all the basic stuff & works great (better than kitkat bcuz there are many other problems due to lack of proper drivers.) mostly al other roms (PAC & carbon etc) are built on top of it or using as base.
4. yes you can flash a stock ICS ftf file via flashtool. software will be like out of the box.
give your phione some new life & try LX (or based) ROM. its the best at the moment

its just something i would advice to you. you said you have simple needs & all fw (CM -10.1, -10.2, -11) look quite same, only KK CM11 is a bit more with eyecandy. also its the stablest one (best battery & best working drivers from all LX's) at the end its your choice
CM10.1 - stablest & best working
CM 10.2 - somewhere between those two
CM11 - newest

Hi guys,
sorry for cross-posting (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/help/xperia-pro-issue-mount-sd-ext-t2826503) but
my phone is becoming unstable because of very low free space/memory available
and did not receive answers.
Thank you very much!
Hi eXperts,
last month I flashed the great Ultimate HD rom, so stable and now my wonderful Xperia pro is much faster
Before to do that anyway I used Mount2SD app to get my external sd mounted and solve, in this way,
common issue about "memory unavailable" and similars when I tried to add or update an app.
Now , Mount2SD is no more working, with no log entries, even if detailed debug verbose is enabled; first
I was thinking there is issue with Init.d support... But it sounds strange because before UHD I used the original stock rom by sony,
rooted of course, and furthermore I checked with a tool (embedded inside universal Init.d) and it shows me that Init.d support
is green and working....
So, looking beyond, my question is how to definitively solve this issue, changing kernel or something else
and give my phone support to mounting external sd native. Which kernel may I flash ? Working together with UHD?
Fast?
My phone is mk16i and must keep physical keyboard working, cwm, rooted.
Will this operation break my current configuration in terms of installed apps and so on?
My Xperia pro is unlocked bootloader.
Thank you very much in advance!!

1. Try flashing stock GB/ICS
2. Try using a different sd card
That's basically all you can do. If you're doing everything right (flashing and wiping accordingly) and it still doesn't work, it's definitely a hardware problem. Then you'll need to pin point what is causing the problem.As I recall you said that your sd card works properly? Can you can copy/move stuff from and to it, view all the media you have on it without problems?

Hi Grof,
flashing stock GB/ICS does not help. I use stock kernel since the beginning... and no stock kernel
is able to mount sd-ext file system in order to use sd as a natural extension of internal memory.
As I wrote in the beginning I already reached out result I want, using Mount2Sd with stock kernel but now
I want to solve with a new full featured and modded kernel that embeds useful functionality just like CWM and
of course internal memory extension using sd-ext filesystem..
That's the point.
My sd card is perfect, nothing to complain and working like a charm! I "only" need the first part.
Regards
If I get what you are saying, you just want someone to recommend you a custom kernel that has sd-ext support? Have you tried the latest LX CM11 ROM and kernel? Almost all custom kernels support ext4, it's just a matter of preference.
Sorry if I missed your point, hope I haven't misunderstood you.

Great! That's the point :good:
Now, I did not try LX CM11 ROM because I did not know which was the best ROM and Kernel for my mk16i and so
reading different threads I decided to install Ultimate HD ROM.
That's a good ROM but I did not know which kernel associate because it was not indicated in its dedicated thread
and furthermore, mk16i is a really specific smartphone with physical keyboard so I did not want to loose some important feature.
I will try to look at LX CM11 ROM but are you able to suggest a good kernel for my current ROM ?
I am honest, if possible I would not want to install all apps from the beginning... but if the reward is sensible, well I will do!
Thanks

Asking for and suggesting best kernel/ROM is not allowed on xda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969555
You'll just have to test them out yourself. You should check UHD ROM thread to see which kernels are compatible with that ROM. All CM ROMs have kernels inside the zip (boot.img). Hope you'll find what you are looking for!

Hi, I know the rules.
I am asking if you can help me understand which ROM is ready for UHD cause, of course, I already read the post and found
different suggestions but regarding other models. That's the point, because Xperia Pro is a particular phone with physical keyboard for e.g.
and also looking at different kernels inside its dedicated thread I was not able to understand which kernel is already developed
and patched on ICS and there is features matrix.
Finally I need to know if, installing selected kernel, I will loose something or not
I am not interested and I am not asking "which is the best rom for my phone ?"
