Here FXP121:

http://fiberupload.com/fq9e524vdl3o/FXP121-update-cm-7.2.0-RC2-urushi-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip

It's just an excellent rom, fast and very stable. What bothers me is that for a long time do not fix the bug that lowers the brightness all the locking of the screen. Has a solution?

And sorry for the bad english.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rushland:
i'm bootlooping on setting wizard at the first time the device is on, after rebooting from flashing ROM via CWM

after tapping on android's logo, its force closed and looping again

my device is Xperia Ray on gingerbread's OS and i installing the FXP 121 CM 7.2 from your signature

Hey when im flashing this rom its giving an error saying somthng abt the key.. its just not installng... WHat shud i do??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xeraphael:
FXP, can you tell us if it's a good idea to use baseband 70 that comes with the stock ICS Sony ROM, or should we stick with baseband 64 as your sig recommends? Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Thank you for the new 122 version. It looks very good... but!!! Brightness is still an issue! Although on freexperia google code page it says that brightness is set to manual it is not set to manual, it is the same old trouble with the brightness dimed very low after locking the screen.

What is the problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Two things: This seems to be fixed in the latest RC3 and you didn't have to restore from backup, only access the filesystem and delete the camera settings file.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I'm not having any issues with it. What's displayed in the Battery Screen seems to indicate that "Cell Standby" is using heaps of battery, but I think this is a red herring.

I've been using my phone for ~12 hours today, Wifi and 3G on most of the time and still have 50% battery. I mean, screen hasn't been on that long obviously, but I don't see any worse drain than I have with any other ROM's I've installed.

What have you seen that indicates higher-than-usual battery drain with this ROM? Just what you're seeing in the battery screen, or some real-world solid measurements?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kinnudreamz:
I already installed CM7.2 RC3 on my ray. I want to try cm9 RC0 now.

My doubt is, should I again flash the kernel and wipe data cache before flashing CM9 or can I simply flash it over the existing kernel of CM7.2 without wiping off data cache?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Sorry - this does still seem to be a bug with RC3.

However, deleting the files in

/data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs

corrects the problem.

Just don't toggle that setting again!

FXP or OFFICIAL + recover BRAVIA engine ?

Hi to all, I am new here ..

I just bought a Ray and I want to try CM room.

My questions are:

- what are the difference between the CM Official (currently RC3) and the FXP (currently FXP 122 RC2) ? (which should I flash ?)

- I know that BRAVIA engine is proprietary and cannot be included in the rom; is there a way to extract from phone on stock configuration and re-install it on CM ?

Thanks and best regards. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
This is a really really good question.

I didn't realise the two were different.

The camera works just fine in CM7.2 WHICH IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT.

Why, why are people so intensely stupid in this Xperia forum? I've been here two weeks and already I can understand why no real dev spends much time here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Cyanogenmod 7.2 is stable now! This is good news :-) take a look at http://get.cm/?device=urushi

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stebenwulf:
Yes cm 7.2 is stable with automatic brightness problems ;) try and see
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
This is why I'm waiting for a fxp release, hopefully they can address properly the brightness issue :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tulient:
I like cm7.2 over all other roms and would use it if only the battery life was better. Switching to sirkay kernel and the hybrid rom, standby uses essentially no battery and I could get a practically a weeks worth of usage out of a charge. cm7.2 seems to drain fast - overnight I lose about 30% or something
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Yea I find this too. I even logged a ticket about it, but they can't reproduce it. I am tempted to try CM9 to see if the battery life is better. Most battery seems to be taken by the phone searching for a signal, even though it had a great one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
I have to ask though - just because I've been reading and researching this more this afternoon:

Are you _sure_ your setup was exactly the same for this comparison?

I'm starting to wonder if the "great" battery life I saw with Stock ICS when I flashed it for a bit was because I hadn't logged into Google (so Google talk wasn't running), plus I hadn't setup my Exchange Sync etc.

I'm 10 hours into today and I've got 58% battery left, so maybe I'm just imaging my problems. This is especially true because of how easy it is to set the battery level to exact figures, where as stock gives you an "inflated" battery indicator.

So - just humour me - was your setup (apps etc) exactly the same between the comparisons?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Did you calibrate your battery? When going from one rom to another this is a common problem :)

We all are rom-hoppers at the end :)

nebrA
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Did you read this? Seems that battery calibration is a complete myth, I've not seen any hard technical evidence otherwise. I'm amazed that people here blindly accept things without any critical thinking.

That said, if there is some actual technical evidence that this dead-chicken-waving thing really does work, I'd love to see it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Well, It appears that it worked in my case. I dropped my phone and the back cover and battery went apart. I reconnected everything and the battery from 90% went at 70%... clearly that was not normal... with a battery calibration (from cwm) everything seemed ok.

If the battery calibration is a myth... ok, thanks for noting that. I do not have any technical evidence to show to you. And, I did not blindly accepted the idea, I looked the most reasonable thing to do in my limited knowledge... :)

regards
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Yea, sorry. I was a bit of a **** in my post. It's mentioned so many times here it seems like it must be true. I've always been of the opinion though that if something is too good to be true it probably is. Simply "deleting" a file and tada, you get better battery life = seems to good to be true :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
The battery calibration is both real and myth....recalibrating the battery won't affect the battery drain (so this part is a myth)....but the calibration makes sure that your battery is really full....so the 100% value is closer to 1500mV, so you might get more usage from a recharge (so this part is real). Unless your battery is way out of calibration, calibrating the battery won't make much of a difference....so if your phone was your car....recalibrating the fuel gauge won't change the actual fuel consumption in mpg/kpl but you might get more mileage per fill up, since you are actually filling it all the way up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
@justmpm: Indeed. What I was referring to was the process of deleting the battery stats file, which does only that, deletes the battery stats. The process of doing a Lithium Ion Battery Calibration I don't deny is factual.

However, needing to do it because you "changed ROMs" makes no sense.

Also, discharing your battery on a regular basis is bad for it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Thanks for the link on discharging....full of useful information....what no rescuing an old battery by freezing????

Yeah, I don't know where this recalibrate after flashing a ROM comes from. The idea is that whenever you flash a ROM it assumes the battery is at 100% and uses that value...even if it is 10%. This is just plain wrong...I think the recommendation for flashing on a fully charged battery is just in case you have problems...if your juice runs out mid flash, you could end up with a brick. I am pretty sure that the battery stats just contains the battery usage stats... the wakelocks, how long the screen is on, how much juice Android OS used, etc.

I recalibrated my battery only once, a long time ago...and I have flashed a ridiculous number of ROMs since then...I am sure that today I flashed with 30% battery and it recharged to 4.198 V (and because I am a nutter, I checked it with a volt meter)....I suppose I should recalibrate it to get that additional 0.05% of juice:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:
Hi there,

I've recently flashed the stable CM7.2.0 release to my Ray and I found that there was a problem with the battery as well..

What have I done to 'fix' it?

- in CWM format /system and reinstall the 7.2.0 zip (and gapps) (this won't remove any apps etc... as long as you don't do a factory wipe as well)

- configured the 'power control' widget so that when I don't have data enabled - it switches of 3G etc. -> basically turning on wifi turns of 3G; Wifi enables sync when on, disables it when of; and Data turns on 3G when on and turns off 3G when off.

I've read in other places that the 3G modem can 'drain' power when 'turned on' but not connected for some reason.

Hope this helps!

Great ROM though - although I'd love it if they fixed the brightness issue...

Edit:

I fixed the brightness issue by following this but still it's a shame it doesn't work out of the box :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tulient:
Not sure what it is. I always have the ray in airplane mode, wifi off, background data disabled, minimum brightness and conservative cpu mode and I still manage to lose about 20% overnight and 40% with 10 hours of light use. I think its the kernel which makes the difference, because I have noticed much better battery switching to ICS roms with the latest sirkay kernals. Cant switch kernals on CM7 as far as I know.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Can people be more specific about the "battery issue"?

Below is a screenshot I took this morning of my phone, with GPRS + Data + Sync on (I have K9 Mail, Exchange Sync, Facebook, Twitter etc) with CurrentWidget showing 0mA usage.

I really don't think there's a problem with CM.

There's so much "My battery drains fast" but no one has any detail about it. In my testing, I can't see any difference in power usage between CM7 and stock.

The battery life on this phone is, sadly,

terrible

.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
question (havent found anything about it on the net):

is there any difference in the versions of cm i can get from xda and the versions i can get from the official cm-website? except

there are nightly builds available on cm's site?

i guess fxp is the team porting cm to xperias and its exactly the same thing, isnt it??

please enlighten me.

edit: i'm even more convinced that i'm correct, just flashed the nightly build from cm's site and the kernel has the fxp-logo in it.

edit: okay, after fixing the brightness bug, and doing the usual configuration stuff, this rom is superfast and smooth. not to say its the best

gingerbread rom i used so far. and with holo launcher you even can get some ics experience.

only downside is, i cant buy apps via carrier-bill anymore.

but all in all, THIS rom is teh SH*T for xperia ray!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xeraphael:
The FXP team is part of the official CM team working on Xperia models. The builds released on the CM website are official builds, the one released by FXP are "unofficial" nightly builds which will eventually get labeled as official builds when they become stable enough.

Thanks, but I already looked there. Those are instruction for dynamic brightness. What I am looking is for manual brightness like the one in cm9.

Can that be possible in cm7?

I hope I explained myself clearly :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:

This will replace the files in such a way that dynamic brightness will be disabled (you can open the zip file and check out what he did with the files - but it should work!)

Cheers,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Thanks for your patience. :) I already went on that thread a few weeks ago. That patch gave me a lot of instabilities and strange behavior for my phone. I'm not sure if that patch is safe to use.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
No offense, but that's a little like saying you changed the air valve cap on your tire and now your car stalls all the time. That "patch" really just replaces two configuration files, it does nothing at all at the kernel level that could cause what you say it did. Are you SURE it was the flashing of this zip file that caused you so many problems?

That patch is pretty safe to use, in fact a lot safer than most of the stupid "speed/smoothness" things that most people flash here with no actual clue what they do, including the guy who "wrote" them by pushing a bunch of random files he found together...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:
Completely agree - this patch (I've checked the zip and configuration files it replaces) really couldn't influence stability.

My guess is that something else caused the instability...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
No offense muppetmania but you always look full of anger in you answers. We are not your enemy. A simple, "the patch is safe to use" in this case would be enough.

Since you know so much, I ask you, are you SURE it is safe?

Have you compared by yourself the original files and the files the patch contains?

How different they are?

Are you SURE those missing lines do not affect in any way the phone?

Thanks for your kind answers.

FXP128 makes phone restart

Great Work FXP team !! :good: FXP update fixed lot of issues such as radio :victory: but FXP128 makes phone restart frequently , any one has a idea ? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:
I've opened the configuration file from the zip in the post.

This is the part that 'disables' the light sensor (ok not really it just configures it in such a way that it shouldn't influence the screen any more):

# LMU AS3676 Configuration

dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds

echo 0,0,0,0,0,0,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/curve # ALS curve for group1

echo 2,0,0,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params #[gain],[filter_up],[filter_down],[offset]

echo 0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h

echo 50 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

open the hw_config.sh file in your /system/etc folder and compare to what its yours.

You can also just change it 'manually'.

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Thanks apocalyps2. The config file from the patch is very different form the one on stock cm7.

And what about the other files that the patch replaces? Those seems very different to me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
Thanks for your time spent in this. I appreciate it, really.

Regarding the missing lines... I was talking about the files on meta-inf folder.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
No worries.

META-INF files aren't applied to the filesystem. They're the files that tell recovery what to do with the other files.

ui_print("ICS PATCH by jjdoctor");

ui_print(">>> Mounting partitions");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");

run_program("/sbin/busybox","mount","/data");ui_print(">>> Mounting Done");

ui_print(">>> Copying Mod");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("data/", "/data/local");

ui_print(">>>Now Unmounting partitions");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/data");

ui_print(" UnMounting Complete");

ui_print("===============================================");
ui_print("| |");
ui_print("| Flashed Successfully |");
ui_print("| |");
ui_print("| Share your Experience on Thread |");
ui_print("| |");
ui_print("| Hit THANKS if you Like it...:) |");
ui_print("| |");
ui_print("===============================================");

show_progress(0.100000, 0);

That's saying (condensed) copy anything you find in this zip in the folder called system to the file on the phone's filesystem called /system.

Which, as you know, ends up overwriting the two files we've discussed already :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
That means that if I manually replace those 2 files in system/etc, it's the same as applying the patch, right?

Once again thanks for your time and efforts.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
That's right. This patch just replaces the two files in /system/etc with its versions, which are only slightly modified from the originals.

All this patch does is the same as tweaking a few regedit settings in Windows, they're not replacing any low-level drivers etc.

Are you still sure this small patch was the cause of the instability you saw, that's what I'd really like to understand.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
A few weeks back I thought so.

For now I decided to:

Flash the new fxp129 cm7.2.

Change the baseband to .64 (from .72). (at that time I used cm7 with baseband .72)

Backup the two files we are discussing and replace with the ones inside that patch.

Test if the problems repeat. (basically I remember issues with phone calls vibrating without any reason and people complaining that a lot of noise/vibration coming from my phone)

I will report back in details if I encounter any other problem.

Thanks again for helping with this.

Fxp129 (cm7.2)

First of all and as always, thanks to FXP for the hard work that's put into this.

I've noticed a couple of bugs so far, just want to see if anyone else can confirm and then I'll log them on the bug tracker (and see if I can't help fix them)

After reboot, first photo you take won't save, other photos can be laggy.

New kernel seems to crash/reboot quite often.

I've also noticed the other issues people have posted with regard to the camera light, but the work around is just to turn it on using the Torch app before taking a photo.

FM Radio works a treat though, thanks!

switched from cm9 to cm7.2, and woah, i liked cm9 for ray, but 7.2 is so much faster and has the same benefits cm9 offers (swipe notifications, small and configurable status switches, oc and stuff, you can have nearly the same lockscreen as with ics etc)

and i can buy apps via carrier-bill, as me idiot figured out you have to activate data-traffic to do so, stupid me.

BUT imho... adw launcher sucks. but THAT shouldnt be a problem, because

Xperia Ray + cm7.2 + Go Launcher Ex = WIN!

i love my cm7.2. ics, whats that? :laugh:
