question

Hi, I have a question, if I install this rom, when he leaves the finished rom official "Sony Ericsson PC Companion" will recognize my phone and I can then updated by any, or will I have to put the rom apart as is this case. and if I notice a lot of mistakes in this beta, I guess I can return me to the official 2.3.4 rom.

sorry for my English: (
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Three words for you: Test point, yes

;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ygecesefa:
If you are unlocked your phone you can install this update also you can install final relase with pc companion after relocking your phone.Test point avoids your warranty permanently because of removing the sticker.Unlocking then relocking can be more safely than testpoint.Some services can accept warranty because of pc compnion doesnt allerting "software changed!".Depedns on your services on your country.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Depends on how you remove the stickers though, in my country, the stickers is not located there so it's ok ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ygecesefa:
When you remove test point sticker its means you changed phone's software.Its a one of sign for a service.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Thanks mate. I think this is so smoother than the Other one. So far everything Is working as it should

Great!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ygecesefa:
Thak you very much for feedbacking
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aftashokz:
Works fine no problems so far

Anyone who wants recovery use se tweak installer
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jjdoctor:
this method of ROM flashing seems successful way of having bugfree experience as developer..:D... makes user free of lots of self work

.. nice work mate...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
The kernel already has CWM built in mate. Thanks anyway

Quick question

Is your Chrome working because i get a nice little message:

Chrome is not supported for your version of Android.Version 4.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) is the minimal supported version.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Yeah mine is ok. It even signs me in on my gmail account.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] berbecverde:
It looks like it has something to do with the update i just installed.

Removed the chrome update and now it works.:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Hmm ok I'll give it a go and report back.

EDIT: it's definitely the update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] WillihAngga:
is the face unlock working mate ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Ohhh yes! :-D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:

help :)

Hi guys. I'm really interested in upgrading my phone, but I'm new with sony, someone could take the time to explain how to do these two steps ... need to unlock the bootloader? no other way to do it without going to the sony website? I had problems with unlocking the bootloader from sony because I asked one less digit of all that has my IMEI digit numbers. thank you very much in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
With the IMEI number, don't add the last digit.

There is another way but way more complicated but has advantages.

@op, out of all the roms I have tried, I can honestly say this is the smoothest and fastest out there. I'm using v3 as had bad experience with the supercharger script. There is one thing that I would rather not have, and that's the 1% battery mod. Is there a way to add the default Sony battery icon?

Thanks and great work :)

:S so scare
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mev811:
swap?

hi, i love this rom...but would like to know if this rom works with swap partition?

someone to put a swap partition?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ygecesefa:
Also if you wanna keep chrome delete flash apk from system app then delete flash datas from data/app then reinstall flash player from market
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DVi:
This ROM is great, but it works even better with XRay Kernel.

No battery drain, and very very smooth...

I'm using 122MHz/1GHz and smartassV2 governor and my Ray loses only 2% battery overnight.

Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544513
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MegaWath:
Can you make v5 with the official ICS released today?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] geekoo:
I am having frustrating issues with this ROM. After about 3 days of usage the battery level comes down to only about 40%. But then when it reaches some point, it drains to 0 in like 3-4 hours. What I see is that the phones doesn't sleep after it reaches this 'magic' number and always remains awake.

Anyone else having this problem?

Wondering if there is something wrong with the kernel. I am using XRay kernel overclocked to 1.4ghz. I have also removed the new graphics driver.

Is there any way in which I could put back the new graphics driver - I know there is a zip to remove it, but how do I put it back? Can I do it using fastboot or adb?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desev:
in what version will you make it with the official release of ICS, not the beta. When it's planned to happen?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hobbex:
I'm having the same issue as you with the battery drain.

I'm also having memory problem. It's says that I'm having 53MB free, but still I cant install the latest facebook update that is 6.3MB. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] marousa_king:

Why the face unlock still not working on my Ray ? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alanllew:
From bootloop

My apologies guys... I messed up somewhere along the line. What steps should I take to get this rom installed if I am starting with a bootloop situation with no access to cwm? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muz2000:
Check setting, security, screen lock.

There should be an option face unlock.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhmd_bk:
this will sound stupid ... but i am noobe so what are the commend for flashing cwm and boot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loveuhp:
hic. beta is laggy..............................................
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:
Yes it is...Will have a bit of a play and go back to GB.

I hope it will be much smoother on official release :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muz2000:
use ADB...

command:-

hotboot CWM.. fastboot boot "cwm file"

the phone then re-start and once you see the splash screen press the volume down button repeatedly until you are in CWM menu.

after all the CWM process done than set the phone to fastboot mode again than

flash boot.. fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
try this

- flash aire stock kernel for temporary.

- boot into CWM, flash ICS-rom.zip

- then flash provided ICS kernel

- wipe data

- reboot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhmd_bk:
thanks for the help man. however it is laggy and i do not think that the kernel is overclocked ... is it ??

but still great job :cool:

Feel Snapier

To make the overall User Experience feels a bit Snappier..

Go to Setting, Developer options, ..

Window animation scale set to .5x

Transition animation scale set to .5x
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Here is a screenshot of my settings with face to unlock activated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:
I turned all animations off and it was still laggy. It wasn't just the 'smoothness' of scrolling, it was the long delay when you tap a setting or option in the UI and apps.

And those fancy live wallpapers? Don't even try lol.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gancrutt:
for real? is that works?

okay gonna trying to flash gapps.

edit : done flash gapps v11, still dont have facelock, any issue? is that any bad affect with rom if i wipe it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
That's strange. No wiping won't do any harm mate. Can you take a screenshot of your unlocking options?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] definator:

I have to tell that ICS is runnig on my ray perfectly, thanks to the autor!

Wanted to ask is there a way to enable ALS for ICS? And why they didnt include it in core in the first place?

And another two questions for developers : have u tried to enable option "dont keep activities" so all processes are terminated upon exiting? How this affect performance?

Second question regarding Force Gpu rendering- can someone explain what does this realy do? 2d hardware acc in app? Will this affect battery life or performance of applications?

Tnx for answering, this is my second post here, till now i use only to read articles.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Taverius:
In ICS GPU acceleration of display is decided by each application, as it can break some apps, some older code won't run.

The global option will force all apps to run with GPU acceleration, regardless of what the developer's choice, which will break a number of pre-ICS apps.

to ygecesefa: do you mind I'm using your thread?

Confused where to share this, so many similar threads discussing the Beta release, since I don't want to open a new thread, so I choose this thread because so related

stock boot.img with CWM

http://www.mediafire.com/?60oldltscp42o0m

features:

- pure stock ICS Beta kernel 4.1.C.0.7, only added CWM 5.5.0.4.

- on boot press any key once when gold/yellow LED triggered to enter CWM

ps: sorry just share this today, don't have a chance since day 1.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Too much hype with beta ICS :rolleyes: honestly, GB is still rockin my world, especially with Xperia S theme and apps :cool:

Come on people, this is beta and Sony wants you to contribute for them, not to make this beta the most stable one to date. It's their job for crying out loud to generate one :o you spent too much by creating this improved ICS beta. AOSP ICS i don't count, just this sort of ICS beta for the masses.. I believe it's not their point giving you the privilege to use this ROM.. ;)

just my 2 cents..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ygecesefa:
Thank you.the system (not kernel) already including clock work mode.But I can reedit my theread put this kernel instead of the others if this kernel will not cause problem to CWM which in system.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
Ooh weee! A stable(?) ICS, I've been waiting and waiting but I can't hold it in my pants anymore, must... have...it

I'm currently running stock 2.3.3 with CWM 4.*.* do I have to flash the first CWM kernel or is it mainly for people who doesn't have it, I can still flash the ROM with my old CWM and then flash the ics kernel?

And should I make a hard wipe, I kinda want to since I switched back to 2.3.3 right after the first update?

Nevermind, I'll flash the CWM kernel anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gancrutt:
Thanks, now facelock running. Just re-flash from first kernel.

Got full feature now. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] szl.kiev:

Can you give me one advice with this pls i need the emails for work

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ygecesefa:
Sorry İ decided immidiately to share :) and İ couldt be sure if i copy system and data folder in a signed rom zip will be enough?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] szl.kiev:
not really, It's much different for a complete ROM update.zip compare with patch & updater.

use the template bellow, copy extracted system.img files using 7zip (open the zip using 7zip & use click & drag), then your build ROM should be run properly.

-edit the updater.script file, put your signature or whatever you like

-please analyze the template structure for future reference (preroot & busybox)

-build.prop inside already add BT & wifi lines, add more tweaks that you like.

to extract system.img, put system.img in the same folder as aiup.exe, run in DOS command shell

aiup system.img 4096 c:\system

in that way we can maintain 100% stock files

Thank you Sony (Ericsson) and thank you ygecesefa *thumbs up*

Since I'm working at ericsson as an technician/installer for wcdma & lte nodes I'm kinda dependent on my phone to call testers and such and it's been flawless!

And it kinda feels nice to show my beta for the ones with iphones, that even a droid beta has signal within the labs (which the iphone doesn't :rolleyes:) :p
