Will be giving this a try once i have it all downloaded, hopefully it will all work well as I would love to be using MIUI on my neo, was using it on my old phone (nexus s) and it was very good. Will report back if the hotfix doesn't work on my phone either. and on how my experience goes with this rom :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electricbluejase:
Need to fix your hotfix bug. Got bootloop as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] r-ikfoot:
Sorry but I couldn't fix the hotfix

Because m'y brother'neo (I don't have neo) is at the SE repair section so I couldn't anymore for a little time update this ROM sorry

And for thoses who complain about my ROM because they don't succed in get it booted try again read more carefully my instruction and ask more question before critisize my work because lot or people succed in get my ROM booted (so maybe you made something wrong)!

And It's my first release so be more comprensive I would made it better and better but I need more time ;)

I shared this ROM because lot's or people would like a miui ROM!

Tank you for all other tester who like my work! It's for you I'll continue to update this ROM but wait a little bit I have to wait my brother'neo

So be patient

Regards R-ik
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
I get your rom booting. The problem is there so many bugs that isn´t valid the effort to install.

You must to test the things firstly and don´t post the things so quick and annouced like you do.

I like every effort of presenting something, it´s sometihing noble to present our work to other people, and in the case for free and offering our free time to a comunity.

But as I said you must to be a bot carefull.

Regards and keep work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electricbluejase:
Will test your rom once you can get the hotfix to work, without the hotfix your rom does boot and work quite well. but it does need some fixing up. :-) good luck and keep up the good effort mate, don't worry about what other people say, it's good to have more roms and devs working on the sony neo. :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] eqlove196426597:
Hotspot is not working, please fix it!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electricbluejase:
I see your going to rebuild the rom. Good idea. Look forward to testing it once you release it. :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] svrl:
+1 absolutely!

We want to see your new stable release ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electricbluejase:
hotspot is not working on the other MIUI rom ether so i think it is a MIUI rom bug? we will see though, hope to see the re-release soon.

Also, what's the status on the rebuild for this rom? :-) cheers.

Excellent work, I will get this rom to my Neo soon as you put him to download.Hope everything will work flawless, the rom looks great. Keep the god work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dugzino:
There'll be a screentouch issue tho, FXP managed to fix it but didn't release the FXP048 since they moved on CM9..

Screentouch doesn't cover the whole screen, it touches top, left & right but not the bottom. Just telling you, in case you know where to look.

All ROMs based on CM have this issue..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
Installed and so far so good accept video recording. When tray to use pop up FC window like on last FXP CM7. Vibration on android keyboard also not working.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] r-ikfoot:
Yes I forgot mention the issues in cm7 ROM are present too in this ROM because base is cm7 ;)

Other than I think it's a good ROM between SE style and cm7/miui feature :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
Beside some issues from CM7 the rom is ok and usable but I miss xLoud function and some other widgets from stock rom so I probably return back to sony rom. Anyway keep the good work. Regards.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dugzino:
Should ask FXP to share last CM7 sources, no?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] r-ikfoot:
Tell me wich widget and/or app do you miss from se stock and I'll port it for you ;) (i don't ported all because it is lot of work but the widget who are asked for I'll port it!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Rikcon:
It'll be great to port Xloud and/or Bravia Engine!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
questions

And what about Barcode scanner or Layar? Are they working properly?

And how is battery draining?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
When you ask I would like weather, photos &videos and music widget if is possible:D:D:D, but if is to much work over that:), do not border over that. I also noted that on media widget, gallery and video button, wont work when I pressed accept music button. Oh yea the xLoud function will be great to enable whit all thet I wrote up a head, then your rom would be excellent and perfect to use. Any way keep the good work.:cool::cool:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] abhinav333:
As im new to flashing (you can call me noob) can anyone post the instructions plz!

I flashed rom ,installed the kernel but it is stuck (Ugly android in blue comes up and stop's there).

Now i returned to my stock rom but i find this rom interesting so some1 help me !

! Thankq !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
Did you unlock bootloader? and did data wipe from recovery? then only go for flashing..

1. root

2. unlock bootloader

3. install kernel

4. wipe data from recovery

5. flash ROM :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Superbia:
Seems like a cool ROM, but after flashing and boot it wants a "Sim Network Unlock PIN" which isn't the Sim card pin so unusable for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikk36:
Is your phone network-locked?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Superbia:
No, everything that can be unlocked is it now, network, bootloader etc. The funny/interesting thing is, it boots up fine, I get the standard Pin code check, it passed that and finds network, but then instantly a new one pops up that demands "Sim network unlock Pin" and that one doesn't work. If I fail to enter the correct Pin there or dismisses that page all together it drops network again.

[Edit]Okay, so I manage to get past the network pin problem by removing pin from sim. I must say I do love this OS replacement, but I keep getting FC from some of the settings menus. I tried to sort something out at MIUI.com but they told me this is an unsupported port they know nothing about so does the dev of this port have any clues why it FC on several menu lists? Launcher is the most interesting I think.

Also, the screen calibration is off a bit, about 3-4mm to the left, that is probably a driver thing though.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] piku2008:
Thanks for the new ROM

So i installed it on my Neo V i.e. MT11i

The given kernel with this ROM is NON-OC one so its not working as its doesn't come out of bootloop .....

So its useless to use this kernel..

So i tried using the OC kernel (JasonStein kernel 2.6.39 for BLEND MIUI OVERCLOCKABLE LINK) & you will not believe that this ROM works perfectly but remember it take about 5 min on first boot, so let it takes it time because after that this ROM works like a HELL fast ......

Regarding camera on NEO V as usual its not working ... so i tried the new camera patch from NEO V section from MIUI 2.1.13 LINK & not its working normal . Now for the front camera you have to a lil trick that is just click on the last pic you clicked & then go back you will find your camera working again & rear camera is working fine after the patch .

Coming the the apps everything is working fine except the launcher which FC when tried to change the from the setting pannel inside NEO V & it just FC itself .....

Rest i have not tested it yet ... but i will try to post some screenshot as soon as possible & also will update the review .......

Problems -

- WIFI working fine for surfing internet but i think its not able to download apps from market .....

please have a look on this problem ......

Screenshots -

if you have any question let me know .....

Hope you liked the review ....

Thanks

When updating the su binary, the su in /system/xbin is corrupted, so I can't gain root access. Any ideas how to get it back?

EDIT: Apparently this is a known issue:

http://androidsu.com/2011/10/i-updated-to-3-0-1-binary-and-lost-root-help/

DO NOT UPDATE THE SU BINARY TO 3.0.1!

Here's how to fix it temporarily:

1. Download this file: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0-bin-efgh-signed.zip

2. Copy it to the root of your SD card.

3. Reboot to recovery.

4. Install that zip file.

Backup your current Swype with Titanium Backup .

Once you've backed up your Swype , uninstall it and try to install Swype beta .

If it fails , restore the old Swype .

Is there some insta-flash zip file that I can put on my SD Card? I mean, when I had the G2, I was able to put some file called a PC10IMG.zip file on my SD card and that started as soon as I went to the bootloader. Does the Epic 4G Touch even have a bootloader?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bytecode:
Hi there. I am an LG P500 user. This phone is kinda normal,here are the specs:

MSM7227 Processor 600MHz

512MB of RAM

3.0 MP Camera

320x480 MDPI Screen resolution

Stock Froyo,can be updated to 2.3.3 official Gingerbread or unofficial CM7 (2.3.7)

No support for internal memory card

Bluetooth 2.1

Phone may seem crappy,but just take a look at our LG P500 forums - http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=839.

We have everything: TeamWin Recovery,official ClockworkMod,Unofficial CyanogenMod 7 port which is fully working,tons of custom ROMs (even based on CM7 source),Official 2.3.3 update,great themed ROMs and yes,even franco.Kernel.

But I want some more. So,@ Media World italian store nexus one is now 270€,so I've chosen that(for MIUI,Oxygen,CM7,AOSP etc. official support),probably,not sure. My stupid noob question is:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus is being released,so it will be leaving Nexus S back,am I right? It didn't happen for Nexus One,but I read somewhere that Google after 4.0 won't release official updates no more for it. Will this also happen with Nexus S? Just want to be sure ;).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking if the original Nexus will continue to be supported by Google, or if the GNex will be superior to the NS? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate88:
The nexus s will most definitely get an update. Google has stated that it will release AOSP soon after it release the galaxy nexus.

If you would rather not spend a few hundred euros more for a phone, the nexus s a great alternative, even if its a little out dated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
if your going to buy the phone off contract, Id say do it while our phone doesnt have thousands of roms we have it were it counts and everything is nice and smooth

We might lose official support after ics but that would mean the next OS version is a long ways away
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterface:
Nexus S is one good phone, and not obsolete at all yet. I'd recommend it. But it depends on what you plan to do with the phone, certainly a dual-core phone is better for gaming.
