I'm trying KA11 and looks like a very nice Rom. Thanks.

I've noticed some things. Since it's the first version of this rom that I try, maybe something has already been answered. Or maybe something is particular of my installation.

- I don't have the H/3G/E/G signs indicating the connection type.

- Market (GooglePlay) crashes.

- No Face-Unlock?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
That's weird, I have 2000 download for Neo & Ne V already and no one else reported these problems.. Did you come from .62 firmware with .64 baseband?

Ok, Face-unlock is included but will only work after you accepted GooglePlay terms & conditions, but Google Play should work..

Which rom did you have before mine and what baseband do you have? ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] juninromualdo:
know what must have happened you probably restored backups of your applications by titanium backup. you should go to settle in the options menu Market and destroy links. decided so.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jean-DrEaD:
One more game works!

GTA 3 1.3... :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Ok :) I'll add it to the list later ;)

I updated the Facebook add-on, it wasn't completely ok ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] partner22:
Same here. Does anybody know if it's a ICS feature?

Edit: It isn't a feature :) SystemUI.apk has the right icons. I hope it can be fixed...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ambrosiosanchez:
Ok, Google Play now working, must have been some issue after restoring

as juninromualdo said. In fact I restored through adb, not Titanium backup, but

after unintalling, and messin for a while it is working now.

edit1:But no face-unlock anyway. Will try rebooting...

edit2: ok, Finally I started all over again and no problems with either google play or face unlock.

edit: btw, I'm on baseband 64
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Ok, glad it works now :D Sony official ICS for Neo V will be available every moment now :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] satiros:
lots of drainage

compared to i-scream slower

stable

ICS COMPARED TO GB SUCKS BIG TIME

i hope it would go better as it matures

suggestion

make it cleaner

we dont need bloatware

or eye candy

stability speed battery we need

take care thank you

by the way how come you know when ICS is coming ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Did you install the rom with a wipe?

Which version are you using?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] eu8umhc:
ok , i found the problem . i installed neo version in aroma installer. my mistake :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mkmonkey:
After a few day usage , I found that the latest version is quite smooth , generally speaking .

However , still some minor bugs exist .

Storage will stop unexpectedly . (usually pop up after reboot)

Media will stop unexpectedly . (same as above)

Maps sometimes will force close . Works again after reboot or wipe the data cache .

And , is it possible to integrate the hard key music control (Next / Previous) like before ? :confused:

Anyway , good work ! Really glad to make my Neo V works much better then before !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
jus checked into the About Phone.. and it says

Model no : MT15i

:eek:

i remember pretty well that i installed the neo v version...

and everythin else also works fine.. like camera and all...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
I optimized the tweaks etc for next release :)

I already fixed IT for KA18 :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gaiger:
Can't wait to release the KA18 update. KA17.2 is smooth and less lag if i overclock my phone and i found out the camera is not best quality in image taking unlike I'm using GB rom (stock only) it has better quality.

I wish you can improve the image quality for camera sir.

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
KA18 probably coming tomorrow :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mokie:
Waiting for it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Final Changelog:

EDIT: KA18 released :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kefa01:
what about side-button player controls?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
I'll look into it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mokie:
my phone doesn't recognise the sim card with KA18!! :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
Re-install ROM , and don't select ICS in call screen
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mkmonkey:
Seems not working again ... if I use customize version the system fail to load . (Neo V user)

First boot - system hang

Second / third boot - system freeze after "Android Upgrade"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mokie:
OK, now it works
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
I reuploaded KA18 to XDA Fileserver, fixed ICS call screen issue in AROMA :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] livesourav:
Gonna download and test it right away :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karthicvkn:
Same issue, phone not able to recognise simcard !!! ??? I re installed many times, same result !!!

[EDIT] Reinstalled and working fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
As palimatrix said

"Re-install, and don't select ICS in call screen"

You did that right? Just pointing out... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
2 posts back I posted that I reuploaded the rom with fixed ICS in call screen in AROMA ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ayfon:
Hi krabappel2548, KA18 works fine , thank for hard work, Which kernel do you suggest for your ROM ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
jus installed ka18 .. and its quite awesome.. no more running around for battery mod also.. hehe..

feels quite smooth and stable.. and yaa i got tha MT11i back in the phone info... :D

but it still says build number KA17 Ice Cream Sony :p

thankss brooo.. :D :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] soybi:
You can change it in build.prop

Sent from my Xperia Neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
You're welcome :D

Yes, I just checked it and the Neo build.prop says KA18, and Neo V says KA17.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
woaahhh..

thanks alot man.. i put a custom name there.. heheh..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] anipbhat:
I m having battery drain problem using ka18 and Night-Elf Kernel RC2...

Is there a fix for this???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Do a full charge, I included a battery calibration script :)

It won't activate before you do a full charge :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
KA18 mediafire link added :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sucharz:
Wipe everything --> Flash KA 18 --> boot --> got error message "Unfortunately the system UI has stopped". Rebooting more than twice. Can't restore my app via Titanium backup. A lot of FC's with this version :(

Neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
Do another flash without wiping anything.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sucharz:
Yes, I did it, but after flash (without wiping) I'm missing the status bar :-/

It's really strange.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
Flashed the ROM on Night-Elf ICS v1 RC3 lite kernel.

Did not flash flashtool package. i.e flashed on baseband 64.

Neo V. Tested for about 3 hours. no error or FC at all.

Great ROM man. and it is smooth. Keep up the good work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mkmonkey:
Customize Install ? All you need is to install with either full or bare bone version . Customize version will only make your phone unusable , even unbootable .

Recommend install bare bone version , you'll never imagine your Neo V can response so quickly ! :eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Toigoweb:
Hi,

this is the best ROM I've been used on my neo v... but.. where's the google search box widget ?? I miss it !!!

Please could everyone provide an installable zip or an apk ???

Thank you Alll
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mokie:
I can't use adobe flash player with KA18
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
no bro... i installed the customized way, and its damn good.. ;)

but cuz u say i'll even try the barebone version, to see if its any faster..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ayfon:
hi, there is no sim utilities, how can use this its urgent please.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Do a custom install in AROMA and choose Sim Toolkit to install with the rom ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ayfon:
Thanks after custom install sim toolkit problem resolved but after install i have new problem , i have no more data network, i've try 2 times fresh install but no more data network, make i something wrong ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
I don't know, I don't use data..

but I'm going to try to build KA19 with Android 4.0.4 sources :D So expect a really nice update this weekend or next week ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sly.cooper:
I have installed KA18 over KA16 without data wiping. All is working fine so far. I have not yet tested Skype for green camera issue which was present in KA16. I have noticed that though I have downloaded and installed "KA18" zip file, after installation the version number is still "KA17"???

Thanks for Aroma installer based installation. It is cool!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Yes, this is only in Neo V ;)

I forgot to edit the build.prop build nr :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rioener:
You can change the K17 to K18 from build.prop file
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dennis74:
installation procedure KAxx

I'm anxious to try your KA19 with android 4.04 but i have a few questions about installing your ROM on Neo V. (I will root my device first.)

1. Do I actually need to flash when I am keeping the default kernel? Or is it enough to do 'factory reset' and 'Install zip from flashcard' ?

2. I understand that, to install a new ROM, the userdata must be wiped to get clean install and no conflicting settings. Later, when updating to a new KAxx, how can i preserve the userdata and installed apps as you state 'Go into recovery and do a clean install of my rom' in the installation instructions for existing KA users?

Thanx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] livesourav:
testing nw .. KA18 i believe .. i get really confused with all the updates ... Ok nw lets come to the issues ... Installations with the aroma installer sure looks promising ...there has to be a clear and detailed explanation's of the procedure to install i think ... Remember not all of us are smart as u ! My most important concern is the battery .. I am not quiet sure which kernel i am on .. i got it from the first post .. the Non OC one ... i think its a stock kernel (Would like to have a clarification) .. Can any one suggest how to improve the battery backup on ICS (I am really struggling here, i dnt play much games either ) Still lets test this rom with the stock kernel for a day and see how much battery it drains !

BTW where the f**** is the google search widget .. no voice controls work either ! .. hw can the Dev forget such an important app ?? ll post other glitches and good stuff(If there are any) about the rom soon here in EDIT ! Cheers .. looking forward to KA19(He he , sounds like the licence plate behind the bikes in Karnataka :P )

Tested a few features here:

> While charging the battery icon doesn't show full icon (ny ways that's not so imp)

> Tried installing google search provider apk's, tried a few of them but get some FC's and errors while doing that !

> Couldn't find facelock in security

>Battery is draining and am trying different fixes ..

About the Rom

The rom seems to be quiet stable .. there sure needs more work to be done.. ll try to fix a few issues myself and keep others posted here!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
Add the damn things on your own, man! Dont bloody expect everything to be done by the dev, if you need something, do it yourself.

Also, if you're going to compare an Iphone with a droid, take a droid that costs as much and not almost 2/5th of its price.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] livesourav:
First of all Mr Disco Dancer tell me a rom that doesn't have a google search app in it ?? Come on this is basics mate ! I am just trying to help the dev by providing him with feed back about the rom ... So we can have atleast one f****** rom in this community that we can call completely stable ! If you are so bothered and annoyed by the posts then why don't you suggest something useful that would make the Rom look better ? :mad:

Secondly lemme know a Droid phone that costs the same as an iPhone, i would send it to u as a gift for Christmas! :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
^^i wonder whats more stupid, android, ios,

OR YOU!!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
OMG everything you write is filled with tensions, BS or i don't know, sh*t. You can write whatever you want, but it feels like you could explode in every post.

THE best thing for you m8 is to take ur Neo, smash it in the wall, film it, watch it once again, then go to store and buy that damn IPhone! You will pretty much enjoy urself. :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] livesourav:
Thanks for that mate .. ny ways i give a **** ! .. everyone has there own opinion and you are free to share what u like don't you, if you are so annoyed cos someone told you that the device ur using is a crap then keep it to your self .. this is a dev community .. pl make urself useful here !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Hey I didn't want to offend you or anything like that, but there really is major tension in your posts, like you are desperate with your phone or something...

Just try different roms till you find the one you like, but just remember how many effort, work and will has to be for guys to make these roms. So, you can suggest or comment or whatever, just take it down a little. You swearing over google search is unbelievable....

Our device is awsome, with these guys at Xda.....no problem at all!

Try different rom on Iphone LLLOOOLLL, or just try mp3 as ringtone, :D

Enough said about this, try different rom to suite ur needs, but this one ROCKS! :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] livesourav:
No hard feelings here mate ! And sry for wat i posted earlier ! but Mr Disco Dancer got on my nerves .. had been testing this rom since morning and when u get on xda to post bug report all u get is flaming by other members cos u asked for something that is so basic in android ... not fair ..

and i ll keep looking and testing all other roms out there but not for me cos i believe in contributing to the community ! Thanks for ur advise anyways :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Thanks for the feedback :)

Please guys keep this thread a bit clean and don't react like this ;)

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] livesourav:
He he sry for that... :o ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
bro KA

would it be possible to make the volume buttons change the media volume instead of ringer volume all the time..

m not sure if it is problem for others :confused:, but i think it would be better to be able to adjust the media volume with them.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
When you are using media, playing song, video, game, then they control media volume.

When you are not using media, and phone is just phone, they control ringtone/notification volume.

What is point in controlling media volume, if you are not using it at the moment? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dennis74:
installation procedure KAxx - 2

can someone answer my question please? instead of fighting...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26162399&postcount=425
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
1. You have to Unlock bootloader, Root, Flash kernel which is suggested in the 1st post, then rom. It is always better to reset everything when getting to new rom, especially totally different version of android.

2. First time, factory reset, next update of Ka will not delete Data partition so ur data will be saved, if you have trouble, then you can try Resetting all and reinstalling.

Hope this helped!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
yaa.. but it happens at times that m tryina to lower the volume before playin a media clip or games and it turns down the ringer volume..

in fact in some games it wont work if we pause the game n lowere the volume..

altho its not at all a big issue n i wudnt wanna argue over it..

if it can be done then it'll be awesome, or else my life will not become any more difficult.. hehehehe....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dennis74:
Thanx for the explanation. I'll try when KA19 has arrived.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] unisol107:
Some members here consider themselves too smart...they forget that someday...they too were a noob and asked basic questions...now when they have learnt a few basics they show themselves as pros...if someone asks a question which is basic to others...he should be generously helped not rebuked with disgusting language...I think moderator should look into it...I know poyensa is a busy man...I respect him...but this kind of behaviour by members hurts...and should be checked otherwise the beginners won't come forward.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dennis74:
after flashing..

how do i go into recovery mode to install zip from sd card?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] unisol107:
Power off your device and then switch on...or reboot and while you see the boot logo...press continuously the volume down button to enter into recovery.

If you have a custom kernel then press volume down while the led lights blue...and if you are on stock kernel...you must first install recovery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djthunder:
Im using kang 18 on my neo V i changed the kernel to nigh-elf and i get some lag or some times the phones hangs+the battery drain like a hell!!I believe that the rom of kang18 is the most stable and smooth with his kernel!Any idea how i can reput the kernel without wipe my data?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rioener:
Hello mates, i want to ask if anyone has problem with call recording programs like callrecorder. I'm using the provided non overclock kernel, and i cannot record a call.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] piku2008:
Just flash your desired kernel using flashtool .....

:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Good news guys :)

KA19 with 4.0.4 sources is almost finished :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
Added KA19 changelog :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wielku:
I wonder if on xperia 4.0.4. ICS GTA 3 works longer than 1 minute without freezeing whole phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krabappel2548:
I think it will stay the same, the GPU drivers are still the same
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddyriaz:
neither can i.. :(

and whats the benefit in removing supercharger script?? :eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
of late.. the supercharging n the kernels aren't working that good.. KA18 and jj both are running cool without the SC script.

Could you please remove "unlock with focus/camera button"?

Thanks

why im having bootlooping after i installed KA19 from KA18 with full wipe???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] noowb00:
Read the thread in the Neo's forum. I read there and the solution is to install KA18, then install KA19 without wiping. I'll try it myself when I got home. Some reported working.

I tried to flash this ROM with 2.6.32.9-v1 night-elf kernel@work-lnx #2, UNLocked BL.. But when i finished flashing, all the Stock Apps are force closing, i tried to reboot, 3 times but still happened. Then i reflashed it and worked, but is it ok that i reflashed it? And, battery still drains fast. :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darky22:
Ya,it works without wiping, but there is no background or notification bar, and it shows baseband as UNKNOWN :-(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] andrewcst:
same there, also the phone app is FC, which version of baseband that KA19 suggest? I'm using 64 with no problem at all.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] andrewcst:
I updated the flashtool package then flash KA19, then no issue so far, i think this issue is related to the baseband...

Dear Rom Creator, can you please fix the issue for baseband 64 users? I love this rom, the official ICS is suck....

sorry for my poor english.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] partner22:
Installed over KA18, and so far so good.

BTW, I always modify the rom, to adjust to my likes. I don't know if it could be interesting for someone (in order to include it as future add-ons). I change:

* SemcCalendar.apk to the default google calendar (I hate black calendar, and It doesn't even get the real colour for each calendar)

* Home.apk to apex.apk (it's like the default launcher, but it has more options)

* SemcMusic and MusicWidget to GoogleMusic

and in the build.prop I add for the national roaming:

ro.roaming.extended=true
ro.roaming.extended_rule=1
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] soji89:
bootloop

ka19 went into a bootloop after flash, anybody else facing this?

dont wipe while flashing KA19 , flash it on KA 18

can anyone tell me proper method to do that ? I tried everything that you guys said , but no notification bar , can anyone send me nandroid backup?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kefa01:
Well, no notification bar too
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mkmonkey:
Exactly the same I face before .

Don't use customize install and try full/barebone install . Then only a very few FC occur , and need not to optimize .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darky22:
SOLUTION

HEY GUYS AFTER DOING OT OF EXPERIMENTS I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO INSTALL KA19:D

1. INSTALL KA 18

2. BACKUP SYSTEM UI.APK IN SD CARD

3. INSTALL KA 19 WITHOUT WIPE

4. DONT SELECT ICS CALL SCREEN

5.REBOOT

6WHEN YOU DONT FIND NOTIFICATION BAR JUST REPLACE SYSTEMUI.APK WITH KA18'A SYSTEMUI.APK

6.HIT THANX IF THIS HELP :)

7.note : IT HAS TO WORK ;)
