AWESOME..!!

This is so awesome..!!

This is IMHO the best rom out there. Stable, good looking and sweet..!! The music app has browse by folder too..!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you..!!

Things I noticed in this rom, that may need a fix:

Under Messaging, the "New Message" button is so transparent that you can't see it. Some of the other popups are way too transparent too. (I think this is because the text on some popups and buttons is in Black which blends into the background. Other popups seem to be in White which are much more visible.

Under Tweaks, Home launcher tweaks. Columns is spelled as Collums (doesn't affect the rom, its still amazing).

Other than that its freaking gorgeous..!!

Download end try your rom asap, fxp30b don't work for me !!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nikhilshivpuja:
hey i remember you saying that you would include juwe's script but change it so that it changes install-recovery.sh or something like that (to make it kernel independant ), so was wondering if i have to run the script with script manager , also no 2.3.4 system dump stuff (not mentioned in change log ?) also am also running dooms kernel manager was wondering how you got the xrecovery menu that allowed you to select which recovery to boot into

also clicking on extra tweaks is taking me to an empty black page ?( could it be because i am running the 2.3.4 7 screen se launcher ?)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] desspil:
Great job !

All is working and Appman doesn't do FC's ! WONDERFUL !!!!!!!

THX for update !! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] danielk0302:
Does anyone know if it works wih cusom kernels?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nikhilshivpuja:
yes the rom works with custom kernels
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] danielk0302:
Thanks nikhilshivpuja il get flashing it now then :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] desspil:
With Doomkernel, it's amazing !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Guys, thank you SO much for your support.

This update was a big step theming-wise because the dark popups and white text was very much of a PITA to do.

pvyParts and me worked on it for many days and we are very proud of the looks of the ROM now! :)

We examined the ROM thoroughly and corrected a lot of black-on-black text,

but it's only normal if we missed something, so let us know

and we will fix it asap! Once you locate a situation where this occurs, please

let us know with a screenshot or with exact instructions on how to reproduce it. ;)

Will be corrected, thanks for reporting! :D

No, whatever is in the install-recovery.sh runs automatically at each boot,

there is no need for you to do anything. ;)

As for the Choose Recovery menu, it's in the Tweaks section in Settings.

Can you check if you have the Tweaks.apk in your /system/app folder?

Launcher is not directly related to the Tweaks, so it shouldn't be it.

As for 2.3.4 stuff, there will be an addon available in AppMan once I get everything to work.

So far I got the keyboard (included already) and the Launcher

(will be available once pvy re-codes it to make the homescreen number selectable via Tweaks).

Facebook Inside Xperia 2 doesn't work for me, so once I locate the issue and fix it, it will be released.

I would really appreciate any help and input on this! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cjsabaki:
V2.2 flashed n setting up!!!

NICE!!!

Looks good, fast boot up, looks like a ton of work went into this..

* Working thru settings, google talk, g mail, the initial set up and acount page is really dark, turned up brightness and it helped a bit...

So far that is the only hicup!!

I normally run the 405.2 kernel from Goro, ( locked boot still ) and set cpu, what have you two seen from testing and what would ya recommend???

I keep my phone very light and stripped, maybe...1 game for my Daughter ( aqua pets...LOL!! )

Fresh instal of v2, flash v2.2 update, bband 71, currently stock kernel.

Great work and thank you for all the hours and effort in this!!!

Best regards,

Chris
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
hi

does this still apply still?? or the addons are already included in the v2.2 ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Oh, sorry about that, we didn't notice because we rarely wipe our phones,

so I haven't setup my Google Accounts in ages! :D

Will be fixed, I know exactly which apk is responsible!

Thanks for reporting!

Goro's kernels are my favorite, they seem to be very smooth and with no issues.

You can check out his blog, he released FreeKernel mod4.05N.5 for SE 2.3.3 which works very well, but there is no overclock/undervolt.

The latest overclocked/undervolted kernel of his is FreeKernel mod4.05.4 for SE 2.3.3. I don't know why he hasn't posted them in XDA but he did post a link to his blog that I accidentally noticed a while back. :)

In my experience, the best governor for performance is minmax (but it's only available in Doom's kernels) and for battery life is Smartass and Smartass V2.

As an alternative to minmax, I suggest interactive, although you might notice a slight lag, I don't know exactly why that is though.

At the moment, I am using stock kernel with BootManager by Doom

and I have the minmax/interactive/smartass2/undervolt modules installed.

Also, I have underclocked to 768 because I don't play games and battery life is very good and I see no lag. But I mainly write SMS and emails and browsing via Tapatalk, so I can't really recommend underclocking to anyone. :D

OMG!!! I LOVE AQUA PETS!!!!! (Has she caught a mermaid yet? :D)

Yeap, they are included in the ROM.

Post is pretty old, I should update, thanks for noticing! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
Oh one more. In Gmail, the buttons to Archive / Delete are black..

Here are some screenshots

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
You can use an app like ScreenshotER or Screenshot.

This is not the case for me on Gmail, so I'll check the update.zip to see if

we accidentally included the wrong version of modded Gmail. ;)

Speaking of screenshots, here are some from my phone!

Excuse the crappy quality (I took them with ddms from android SDK)

and excuse all the purple girly elements, these are not included in the official ROM! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xerex.exe:
other buttons to ... hope fix is coming.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] danielk0302:
is it just me wih old market or is the newer one no included?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cjsabaki:
8-)

Nope, she hasn't caught the mermaid yet...

I will tell her about it tonight and then never get my phone back...LOL!!! ( She's 7 )

Thank you for the link to Goro's blog, just dld 405.4 and will be testing shortly!!

Interactive and smartassv2 are my ususal, 128 min 1075max or if I am home 998max, I really should underclock more, like you, I do not see any lag at 768 and rarely need the OC potential.

Thank you for the tips!! AND the great Rom!!

Best wishes,

Chris
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
dowloading now..

i hope the ROM has a file manager now because i dont have wifi here to set my cellphone up.. :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Very nicely done, congrats!

Only thing I noticed: the problem with dark letters on dark background also appears, if you try to sort apps in the SE launcher and probably in some more menus, I'll dig further.

But apart from that - kudos to the T.E.A.M :D

edit for black text on black ground: in superuser.apk

I get it there'll be a global fix since it doesn't depend on specific apps, right? So I'll stop reporting this issue.

edit2: nice loading circle animation, I like that :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
iridaki.. I updated my post on the previous page with some screenshots.

BTW, I like the look of your phone.. key-oot..!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Yeap, thanks for the screenshot, they helped me located the problem,

some code is missing from the framework-res.apk included in the update.

Sorry about that guys, as I said it was a long and complicated procedure,

we missed a few things here and there.

An update will be issued via AppMan very very soon!

Thanks for your understanding and I hope you like the new look despite the glitches! :)

No, keep reporting because we have to be absolutely sure that it is not app-specific!

95% of the time, it's just the framework, but You report - We investigate! :D

As far as SuperUser goes, we will update to the newest version 3.0.1 anyway, so I'll see if there's any black text on popups

before releasing to AppMan.

Again, thanks for your kind words and your support everyone!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
Hey, its we who should say Thank YOU and pvy for all your hard work. You are really amazing to put this out for us.

I really like this rom, been trying so many others and now I finally found a long term rom that I plan to stick with.

One more.. The wallpaper selection screen is a bit dark too..

http://www.flickr.com/photos/samthetravelguy/6218266454/
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Noted! I will make a test update.zip that will fix the issues and post it here within the next hour! If there are any night-birds out there, I hope you'll flash the zip and help me get it all sort it out before pvyParts wakes up! :D :D :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
i just flashed the rom

look great.. thanks PVY and IRIDAKI...

is there a way to get a working file manager without wifi or buying it from the market? i cant get my saved apks on the memory card... :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
I'm about 10 hours behind you (in Canada), and currently at work.. so if you have an update, I can test it for you. :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Wow! I freakin' like the recovery selection menu! And I'm very happy that my idea was implemented :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
guys........ need help.. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Do you want me to make a flashable zip for you that will install a free file-manager on your phone? ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
yes please IRIDaki.. i would really appreciate it.. please.. thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Give me 5 minutes, I only have two hands!! :D :D :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
thanks Iridaki... i really appreciate your help...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Here it is! Flash via xRecovery!

ES File Explorer 1.6

:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
thanks... doing it now...

how could you be so techie considering your a girl... im a girl too but i cant do all of these things your doing... :) cheersss
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:

but with willing and patience, we can do anything we want! ;)

Glad I helped, now back on topic please!

(If you need anything else, you can always PM me!)

V2.2 hotfix3 for Black-On-Black Text Issues

DOWNLOAD

(Multiupload - 6.91MB)

Flash via xRecovery and report back!

It should fix all issues (buttons, Home, Gmail, etc).

As always, make a backup before flashing, just to be on the safe side!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
here are the steps im taking..

i flashed the V2 first..

then flashed v2.2

and then i reboot, and then immediately removed battery

flash doomkernel v05 for unlocked bootloader

then reboot..

problem is

im still getting wolfs opening bootanimation.. and i checked the "about phone" im already on TEAM V2 but i cant see appman.. what seems to be the problem??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
It works..!!

The text is now white.. All good.

I will keep testing to see if there is anything else, but it looks awesome.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
I'm glad it's sorted out! :)

Could you please flash this zip too and then go to

Settings->Tweaks and try to use a battery icon mod?

THANK YOU!

Can you make a Factory Reset in xRecovery and then reflash V2 and V2.2 zips?

You will lose all your data, so make a backup first!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
i will try it out too if you like?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
Actually when I rebooted after the first fix you did.. my honeycomb battery icon did disappear (or became black - I dont know. there was a space where it usually shows up).

I set it back to stock and rebooted and I have stock now.

----------------------------

Now after trying the second zip you mentioned in your post above..

When you change the battery icon. It doesnt change at once. It changes after a minute or two. Or if you reboot the phone then it comes up with the new icon.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
its all working now.. thanks.. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
This is normal, the icon changes after the next battery level change, so it might take some time as you have to lose (or gain by charging) at least 1%. ;)

I edited my original post with the corrected zip that will not break the new battery mods!

So everything working now, huh? :) /relief

@all:

If you are having problems with black text on black background,

kindly flash this hotfix and report back!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
Perfect.!!

Looks faaaaaabulous..!!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
I am relieved beyond words!! :)

A notice about black popups:

As you might have noticed, they look AWESOME

and that is the reason why we worked so hard on implementing them in our ROM.

We had to perform a lot of changes in the framework-res.apk.

Now, most apps (both system as well as 3rd party) reference the framework for colors and/or sometimes images.

That means that 90% of the times, everything should look OK.

But, there is a chance that an app uses the images from the framework (popups)

but sets a color on its own (usually black, as this is the default on Android).

It's the same thing that happens with the statusbar notifications, that we also changed to white since v1.

In these cases, there are things to be done:

a) if a 3rd party app, contact the developer and suggest that he references framework for colors instead of setting their own

(you'd be surprised at how supportive app developers can be ;))

b) if it is a system app, you let us know and we fix it

c) for advanced users, you can fix it yourself by looking in res/layout folder and/or in /values/styles.xml.

All in all, we like full black popups and we feel they give the OS a very unique sleek and elegant look.

Please don't be frustrated at any glitches, as we are here to fix them if we can! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
force close whenever i long press on the stock SE home screen... already fixed permission in xrec... what to do??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
iridaki,

Flashed your fix2.2 and black text is almost gone, but it still remained in the ' sort apps' dialogue from SE home launcher.

Thanks for your hard work!

Btw. Never thought that the SE swipe keyboard could work so amazing, thanks for implementing!

Edit: consider a thanks button pressed for your latest post, damn xda app has really to be updated to support pressing thanks...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Did you install the hotfix?

Try flashing this zip and let me know if the problem persists.

Flash this zip too, it will fix all black text on the launcher!

SE keyboard works very well, didn't expect it to either, I believe it's comparable to Swype!

Do you like the black theme I made for it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
dwnloading and will report back..

btw, it only happened after flashing the hotfix beta.. :)

edit: its now working after flashing the fix for home.. thanks...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Yes, like it very much, thx! Will now try your launcher fix. You're unbelievably fast! Btw. I have to confirm the launcher fc when long pressing after your 2.2 beta fix.

Forget that, just read in the post above that your next fix solves that issue. Are you really only one person creating all these hotfixes? ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Thanks for reporting!

We finally have a correct hotfix zip then!

See, I am fast but I am a bit messy :o Took me 3 tries to make the correct hotfix! :D

The zip will fix the launcher and I also updated my original post with the corrected zip!

@all:

Anyone having issues with black-text-on-black,

kindly flash this zip:

DOWNLOAD HERE

and, as always, report back!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chrystel:
thanks... :))
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] litemint:
Great rom, lemme grab that hot fix for the text. Way the go TEAM. :D

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Hot fix for the text works. :D

Say Goodbye to the black text.

Thanks!

Err.. the xRecovery on the Power Button Menu, it doesnt work, it just restarts.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Flashed final fix, all working now, thanks so much. One more suggestion: maybe you want to rename the Xrecovery button in power menu to only 'Recovery' since it now leads to the overview of all the different recoveries. Sorry for always stumbling on these little details ;)

I'm out for today, should be sleeping for hours already. Guess I'll die tomorrow at work...

@litemint: works for me, no problem here. Have you installed dooms bootmanager?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] twistededge:
AppMan keeps crashing on me when I try and open any of the menus in the app. Any way to fix this?

I also have the black text making it difficult to read. Also, was there any themes/wallpapers that were meant to come with this?

I have the stock blue wallpaper with this and after using previous ROMs (such as Wolf's or CM) I am just used to a different setup.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Appman works perfectly fine here. Did you fully wipe your device, including dalvic cache before installing this rom?

Fix for black text is provided a few posts above.

SE Wallpapers should be included, but no additional ones.

Theming can be done via appman once it works ( different status bar and launcher mods downloadable) and via settings -> tweaks menu ( battery and clock mods for example)

Hope I could help.

Regards

qwer23
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
pvyParts will look into it, as it's his app.

Some logs of the FC would be extremely helpful!

Black text on AppMan will be fixed by pvy and an update will be available soon.

Uhmmmm... I am not sure I understand what you mean.

You can use any wallpaper you like.

And because system apps are transparent, you'll see that wallpaper all throughout them.

There are some extra SE wallpapers (while you are in Home, press Menu>Wallpaper>Sony Ericsson Wallpapers) but it's really up to you which image you will use. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] twistededge:
Yes I did a full wipe, including a cache wipe and dalvic wipe before flashing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Kindly install aLogCat from the Market, gather some logs from when the FC occurs and PM pvyParts.

There is no other way we can know what goes wrong. :o
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] twistededge:
Oh I seen the theme in the original screenshots and thought it came stock with the ROM that's all.

I wiped again and re-flashed the ROM. Hope AppMan works now. Will find out soon enough.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cjsabaki:
Bingo!!

Zip fixed text, 405.4 kernel working like a champ, love the black keyboard!!

100% excellent!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] litemint:
@qwer, I dont know if I had the dooms kernel, Wolf_Xperia_6.0.0c was the 1st rom that I tried, then jumping into another roms eversince, then I tried your rom.. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] heathenlife:
iridaki / pvyparts

I know its late and this is not a big bug.. but..

If I have the charger on, and lock the phone, the battery state shows the percentage and the charging (electric bolt) icon. If you remove the charger, it still stays the same.

Also even though the battery winds down, the lock screen still stays fixed on the same number it was when you removed the charger. See screenie.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/samthetravelguy/6218636424/

The lock screen shows 45% and the charging icon, even though the charger is not in and the actual battery charge is 44% (see the gingerbread icon). Now it is at 42% and the lock screen still shows 45%..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
That's something pvyParts will have to look into,

but what I can say is that he didn't change anything regarding the lockscreen charging state indicator. So, maybe it got randomly stuck.

I remember I had this issue sometimes in Froyo MiUI.

Does a reboot fix it or it happens every time you are charging?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Well if you didn't flash any kernel, you're still on stock and I don't know how the recovery menu behaves in this case (iridaki most probably does). Btw. although I wish it was, it isn't my Rom and I didn't contribute anything to its development ;)

Damn flash addiction, I'm still not sleeping xD

@ TEAM: One more thing, are you planning to update the apps in appman to the newest versions? For example the 2.3.4 timescape?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Awesome ROM guys!!

Keyboard MOD is great!

Can u make more colours of keyboard if u have time:o

Loving appman and tweaks but i have 2 problems with tweaks my battery colour doesn't change and 4g icon also not working see screen shots...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
The Recovery Menu will just reboot the phone if you are on any other kernel except for BootManager Stock and V5 BootManager by Doom.

But the xRecovery option on the Power Button will work on any kernel. ;)

Yeah, I can do some more color variants for the keyboards.

Which color would you like to see?

About the battery, you can only color battery text.

Icon battery mods consist of pictures, so they stay as is! ;)

Are you in an area with 4G coverage?

I think pvyParts hasn't implemented this feature yet though,

we will have to wait for him to confirm.

PS: One more kind reminder because the thread is growing fast:

anyone with black-text-on-black issues, kindly flash this hotfix.

(It will be available on AppMan tomorrow too)

PS2: qwer23 GO TO BED! :p :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Something like honeycomb blue:o

No india only have upto H but i thought it would replace H with 4G icons?

Ok i will do it:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Hey, you're not my mom :p It's more like you're responsible that i'm still here with your stupid and annoyingly fast bugfixing and support ;)

Btw did you read my suggestion to rename recovery and my question about updating the SE apps? Ok, I think this was really my last post for this night.. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Yeap, will be renamed, it makes much more sense! ;)

About 2.3.4 apps, keyboard is already included,

Home Launcher needs to be edited so that the homescreen number can be selectable via Tweaks (these 2 can be expected to show up in AppMan soon)

but FBiX2... I can't get it to work on my phone. :(

I would appreciate any help on this!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
FBiX2 didn't worked for me also but when i flashed file from the thread many in one all worked

Edit:Modify for ur Rom please I used that on wb...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Great progress pvyParts and My_Immortal! Extreme cool features are coming from you both latetly, keep up the good work and congratz! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Yes they have done awesome work like appman,keyboard,9 wifi and GPS and all in notification bar and the tweaks in settings...
