[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] elderduke:
To what lockscreen you are referring?

The Theme from Chris only changes the lockscreen in Incoming calls.

The framework I posted has to be pushed into system/framework, then change permissions accordingly, and will give you xperia s type lockscreen un standby.

That if you want it of course.

it clicks 2-3 photographs.. then hangs.. then i have to restart camera.. then it clicks 2 photos .. the cycle repeats..

****.. this same bug i was getting while i was on gingerdx v28b!.. thats why i changed it to froyopro... though i see improvement in froyopro that you dont have to restart the phone for getting camera work right, in froyopro i just have to restart the app.. but then too.. its annoying!!

i did everything idealy.. full wipe, format every cache and stats befre doing the rom, same as i did for gingerdx.. but no benefit.. i did the rom 2 times..

but yes the camera works good if i use an app like camerazoomfx

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
I thought it would be difficult to go back versions but it is surprising just how fast FroyoPro2.5 is with alfsV8a-GDX..

I got 2500 in Antutu with it - That's on a par with GZR..

Don't even attempt alfsV9a - it breaks GPS, brightness + autobrightness and god only knows what else..

Flash works great and you can multiboot to GingerDX..

PM me if you need any info on how to set it up so it works on alfs kernel.. You'd barely notice GDX was running from the sdcard!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
That's great, CtrlAltDellt

Really? That's awesome! I'll finally get over 2300...at least I hope. I never got more.Not even on GZR. The fact that it shares the same kernel with GDX means I can start trying it right now,but I have school now :(

Oh right - To make the system.img, data.img & cache.img needed on the sdcard for multibooting you require the stock kernel..

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
No, I could change kernels(although I never go back to stock, I only change them because I test other ROMs). Anyway, for flashing kernels you need a PC...and I am on student dorms during the week, so I can only change kernels during the weekend :)

Thx And Merry Christmas to all
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
>>>>I have FroyoPro 1.1, do i need to full wipe my device after install this new version?<<<<

If you install the add-on FPv22apps2sdNoData2Ext.zip straight after installing the rom then you can try not full wiping, then rebooting as soon as it loads first time and see how it goes, let me know.

>>>>and have I to install the apptosd extra to move apps to the sd?<<<<

The apps2sd add-on is the same type of moving apps to sd as you are using in FPV1.1.

If you are happy with it or don't want to full wipe or use the ClockWorkMod install method then please flash the extra app2sd add-on after installing in XRecovery.

If you do not install it and you have an sd-ext partition, you will get a different method, which is moving data to your sd-ext partition.

Next version will support install via ClockWorkMod and XRecovery.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Wonderful, finally got to testing. I'm impressed by the visuals.

I still need to run performance test and other testing I always perform, but superb so far. I haven't seen Froyo for a long time. A comeback sure brings some memories on old Eclair(although the ROM doesn't copy it or something...). Thanks for all recommendations and especially you, Irakkarl for making Froyo so competitive. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
I find it more than competitive still..

In fact - I don't think there are any GB roms that are working as well as this FroyoPro..

GPS lock is much quicker, same with autobrightness, phone app never lags, 2D score will blow your mind..

I could go on all day..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Alright, usability test done:

AnTuTu score: 2081...now I'm uncertain whether it's me or I'm the only one with such lame scores on Froyo?? 2D score 387( I got 441 on iXperia 8s). Why, oh why :(

While the score indicates an average ROM, I believe the score is based on kernel and very little on the rom itself. I always got 2100+ on Alfs CM7, around 2000-2100 on Alfs GDX and around 1800 on nAa. I've run many tests on many different ROMs to be confident about that. Anyway, even I couldn't overlook the great smoothness and RAM management...no FCs, no lag, everything functional, nice boot :), working Swap, native a2sd+dc2sd script, useful apps, no crap :)... I'd suggest different launcher. Zeam sucks and there are great freeware launchers on PlayStore (just removed Zeam via TB). What about the useless xRecovery and CWM reboot dialog? Seems like a framework issue. I kinda miss the screenshot button,too. Never mind, I'm going to use this for a while to test its ram management to further extent+load it with apps ;)

Great work, Irakkarl,again, thank you very much for this ROM.

Edit: Just take a look at this Screenshot from iXperia 8s (JoyOS) running Alfs v08a CM7. If you can, post your Froyo score, pls...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
I'd put your lower score down to the sdcard.. It must be a class 2.. Mine is a class 6 so everything runs much faster..

You'll really notice the difference.. If you can get a class 10 then you'll be laughing at how quick it runs..

I'll post a screenie for you..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Actually, it's a class4 8GB. Not too fast, but quite cheap. That's why I bought it.

In fact, yes, it could definitely be the SD, cause sometimes I get very bad results and data transfer is very slow... However, IDK how, but the score in the screenshot I posted has an unbelievably high score, never repeated itself ever since :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Wow, I finally thoroughly finished testing the ROM and decided to use it as my primary ROM instead of GDX :)

The Flash really works, unlike in GB, RAM works just great, I installed all my apps (about 70) and can confirm full functionality. It has no flaws, FANTASTIC!

I didn't know Froyo could beat GB but Froyo really is very close to our X8 and this ROM provides full vanilla experience :D

Great job!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hefko:
Are you using Alfs 8a or Alfs 9a? How can be your 3d score so high? A tried Alfs 9a and 806Mhz and my 3d score was around 750
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
I'm using alfsV8a-GDX.

The screenie doesn't show it but it's OC'ed @ 768 which runs stable on my phone..

That's not even near my best score on this rom.. I had loads of apps open then, data on, full brightness, Ram Manager Pro, Easy Battery Saver, AntiVirus etc..

If you turn off all apps, data, etc before running Antutu the scores are much better, closer to 2500..

You have installed the fix3 addon haven't you?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Yeah I can't praise the dev enough for his work here.. I hope we see him around again!

For your sdcard, try partitionning it in CWM as ext4, no ext, no swap..

Always helps speed it up a little..

Backup first!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hefko:
I do not know how, but after reflash, the score is bigger :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Hm... I use swap and ext4, both 256 MB.

Should I change anything?

Swap boosts RAM at the expense of SD card speed?

Do you disregard usage of swap?

Do you use uncapped Alfs?(I don't)

Thanks in advance

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cascabel:
Anyone on stock K use this? I'm trying it out now and it's a really fast rom, but then I installed supercharger and my antutu scores fell considerably. Anyone know why?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
Because you installed supercharger..

swap is not needed on this rom and is a failed concept where sdcards (especially slow ones) are concerned..

If you use less than a class 6 sdcard do not attempt swapping. It will slow everything down.

Think of it this way -

RAM is much much faster than sdcards for retrieving / storing info.. When you set up swap and it needs to buffer info from ram to the sdcard, this takes time.. To then retrieve the info again from sdcard also takes time, much more than if it was from ram.

Use alfsV8a-GDX- NO FPS CAP

You'll notice a speed hike instantly getting rid of swap and using the no-fps-cap kernel..

Have fun!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Thanks, I thought swap could be useless but I still gave it a go... I thought it could store some cached processes, but you're right, I'll erase it by reinstalling the ROM :) I've been sort of afraid of using no-cap, but I'll rely on your recommendation and flash it.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Gantar:
Well, if it doesn't start downloading, cancel and try again! It's a common problem.

To make sure everything works, install TB(optional, but helps a lot), wipe data off google services and market. There's no reason for malfunction in that case...
