Original thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566168

1. What is so special about this ROM?

The main feature is

390 MB

is free (only if using this tweak, otherwise 350 MB) on /data for your apps!

This is the highest free on any custom ROM for the Neo V.

2. How is this made possible?

a) This ROM has been ODEXed. Hence all dalvik files for system apk's are in the /system partition itself!

b) Dalvik-cache has been moved to the /cache partition.

3. Why ODEX the ROM?

a) ODEX ROM's load up faster the first time

b) ODEX'ed system apks do not create .dex files in dalvik-cache, hence size of dalvik-cache decreases. This is required so that there is enough room on the /cache partition for the dalvik-cache also.

4. What are the features of this ROM?

Based on stock .62 firmware for Neo V

Rooted and busybox (latest su binary and Superuser.apk)

12 Notification toggles with QuickPanel app for editing them.

Zipaligned (and script)

All included apps updated to latest version.

Many bloatware apps removed (see the attached list, i can post them on request)

ES File explorer, No Frills CPU control added

Google maps navigation unlocked for the whole world - credits brutall,ownhere.

Battery life is very good (thanks to the Night-elf kernel)

Many init.d scripts for smoothness and battery life.

UOT kitchen compatible

| | |

5. Where to get this ROM?

Download (Mediafire - 128 MB)

Patch for Xperia Neo - Not tested, please try and give feedback!

Addons: (Please mount /system first in CWM)

- Percent battery mod (Jazzk)

- Battery revert to original

6. How to install this ROM.

Copy Downloaded files to SD card.

Flash Night-elf's kernel for stock (latest version 9) [ Instructions ]

Enter recovery by pressing the back key when you see the blue light.

If you were not on stock/stock-based ROM, wipe Data is safer [ AFTER NANDROID BACKUP ]

Install zip followed by any addon required.

Reboot to you new Spacious, Smooth and Lightwieght ROM :-)

7. Any disadvantages of ODEX'ed ROM?

The only disadvantage is that you cannot install custom themes on the ROM.

But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.

8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?

It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.

9. No donate button?

You wont find that on any of my threads.

And also, this is my daily driver ROM, made for me. I am just sharing it with the hope that it will be useful to somebody else.

Also, all credits to the kernel dev and all those who made custom ROM's possible!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawleonhart:
question sir, it the same on 420mb data tweak (by flashing method) or is it better/larger?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
This ROM is good, but when I flash this 10 in 1 statusbar widget it FC status bar and systemui.apk :confused:

In thread is that this status bat working on stock .42 and .62. I was using it normally on .42 fw.

I like it, because there is 2G/3G toggle button.

Must it be deodexed first to use on this rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Sorry for not clarifying in the OP. You'll get 390 MB free if you use the 420 MB data tweak. If on the default 380 MB data partition, you'll only get 350 MB and not 390 MB.

12-in-one status toggles already in-built in this ROM. To change that, you'll have to de-odex.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawleonhart:
ok thanks for the clarification. :) :) :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Akizella:
Tried for neo didnt boot with neo patch, i was on stock .62 and wiped everything
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Did you flash the Night-elf kernel first?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Akizella:
yeah.

of course im not noob on these things
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Oh ok.

I asked because your signature says "locked bootloader"!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Akizella:
:D sorry

i always forget to update my signature ^^ maybe i should remove those informations :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aruze:
hello, i've a problem with the camera....it's red and upside down...

any idea? thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
You need to flash the camera patch...

Clicked on thanks by mistake in mobile :-P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aruze:
where can i find this patch? thanks

EDIT: found it! thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
You flashed the Neo patch, that is the problem.

Neo patch is for the Neo, not for the Neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rizkywingrove:
Do i have to use link2sd for this ROM ? Sorry for this question, i don't know anything about odexed roms yet
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Only if 400 mb is not enough for you ;)

For most average users, there is no need to.. I am using almost 100 apps and still have space free..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] moonytoonyking:
YOU SIR ARE A LEGEND, as far as i am concerned you are my god. this rom not only is SUPER SMOOTH but it also has amazing battery life and plays temple run AMAZINGLY.

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

System apps updates

What happens when a system app gets an update?

The dalvik-cache needs to be rebuild and goes to app data partition?

I can re-send it back to the system with Titanium Backup Pro?

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Yes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lucasfais:
This rom is wonderful! Very fast!

What happens if the cache partition gets full?

Is your ics rom superfast like this gingerbread?

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
How many apps are you running? Enough space left with over 100 apps!!

ICS is not as superfast, but much faster than stock ICS or other custom ROMs ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lucasfais:
Currently I'm running 35 apps. Now, I don't have problems with cache partition space, but I want to know what happens when it gets full. Something will crash? Or I'll see a friendly message like "Not enough space"?

Very good! I tested some ICS roms and I feel them much laggy.

For now, I'll stay with your gingerbread rom. But it's good to know your ICS rom

is faster than others :)

Congratulations for your work!

No more Apps2SD!!! :D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] innocence07:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lucasfais:
I have problem with speech recognition. When it opens the popup, it says "Audio Problem".

Does anyone knows something about this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] innocence07:
i dont use that function so ill just ask did u install with full wipe? what kernel r u using? using shardul seth own kernel or latest night elf 9.6 didnt give me any problem so far...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lucasfais:
I did a full wipe and I'm using latest night elf 9.6...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] innocence07:
u might want to pm shardul for an answer he might not seing your prob here since his busy i guess...btw if ever u read this "shardul" can u add back to kill function and optimize rom for better battery cuz compare to ur ics one it eat more bat on sleepmode 3-4 % at night compared to ur ics 1-2% only using same apps and setting deleted 00dalvikcache
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
3-4%, i wont bother :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lucasfais:
Problem with speech recognition solved.

It was an app called ring dimmer, which uses the microphone all the time. Uninstalled.

Nothing with this ROM or kernel.

Thanks a lot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
how can i remove the maps , esfile manager , no frills cpu from the original package ? i can't find them in system/app yet those applications get installed everytime on a clean install.....where are they located in the .zip package if not in system/app , thanks....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neokv:
I use note 7000b 2.3.5dxkk1

rooted

I found this problem that app I installed in sdcard

their icon on home sceeen sometime they disappear

they change to gray clour and cant open it.

Hv to restart it and will be normal its happen several time

so where this problem might come from

anyone hv this before?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neokv:
Oh and sometime my gallery is empty too

u think is might comefrom exsdcard(Sandisk class6 32g)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainhakan:
I have the exact same issue. I guess it's titanium backup related. Have you ever get your apps frozen via titanium backup or moved them to sdcard using titanium backup?

Rebooting the device once solved my problem for good. I never had such issue ever since I rebooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neokv:
I never used titaniumbackup for anything yet

only back up once for game never restore.

So I glad atleast the problem might not came from sdcard

which I just bought it.

So May be hv to wait for ICS. Its may help my issue.

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emignatius:
This has been happening to me too and I'm on an unrooted stock ROM with a 16-gb Class 4 Transcend micro SDHC.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darrensnake:
don't install too many apps to sd and you won't have this problem.

known issue with sd card. but none of the devs fix the problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainhakan:
Let me give it to Samsung Gnote ... i never used to install so much apps on any of my previous devices. So much built in memory is provacating
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neokv:
Actually I install only a few app

and couple game in sd card mostly,

I only kept my file in it.

I hv change my sd class4 to class6 once

I though its too slow but problem still there:(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iamsloany:
had a look and theres no similar thread.

temple run finally released on google play. i couldnt find it at 1st but did a google search and it gave a play store link.

quite good on GS2 feels a bit more hands on compared to iphone/ipod touch as our far more superior screen as it handles and displays the game so well, getting used to it on a bigger screen, smooth and responsive, happy days its here for android

Tapped GS2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jontr:
works well on Hydrog3n ICS. no problems with responsiveness and/or extra presure to the screen. and it's as smooth as it gets. strange at first, but after few runs becomes quite addictive.

Wow. This game is addictive and runs great on my Galaxy S2 GT-9100 Stock ICS 4.0.3. Although its battery hungry, but which game isn't?

Runs silky smooth. No crashes so far. No Lag.

Didn't even know about this game, until this thread. Thanks! :)

Isn't this just like Running Fred?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] drigz08:
Running Fred is for high end devices only like our sgs2. Temple run supports mid range(galaxy ace for example at full speed) and some entry level devices, and is a bit easier than running fred. Running fred is just straight while temple run has turns.

Finally this is out!! :D been waiting for this ever since i got my new phone

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nocturnne:
Great game but pity about all the crashes it's making my phone have. I'm on CyanogenMod 9 and whilst at first, everything was running smoothly, it often just freezes whilst in the middle of a game.

Also, it drains battery really fast. That being said, this is still version 1.0, so hopefully they'll fix up these things as it's annoying losing all your progress every time it crashes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cillianire:
cm9 + temple run

i was running cm9 and also lost my data multiple times and the game kept freezing, im now on a stipped back stock lp7 and it runs perfect for me
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ephraim:
Yeah, ge crashes in cm9 but runs prefectly on a stock samsung ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] almaalma74:
yeah, cm9 is only sux

Temple Run hangs in Hydrog3n-ICS 20120410 CM9

Temple v1.01 hangs quite often in the latest Hydrog3n-ICS rom dated 2012-04-10, and resets the score/statistics.

This is a derivative of Cyanogen 9, so it is still happening with the latest version.

Re-installing didn't help
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aaronsuarez95:
it gets better after the first update, they have to update it so we can tweet/post our high scores, unlock wallpaper
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rudolf895:
What are you guys are talking about? It works great here on cm9
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] deejay6901:
yes it really crashes, but here's what you can do. after every progress youve made, save your data via titanium backup, so when it crashed you can only restore your data and all is saved. it worked for me always.. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AndroidGreg:
Ok, so from what I understand Android itself is the cause of these headsets not working, they do not have framework? support I have been told.

Why should iPhone get all the fun with headsets, I got 3 sets of beats headphones, some iBeats, and some tours, both are amazing to me, just I want the remote to work for convenience.

But the 1 main button is supposed to work, problem is none work on my razr, doesnt matter the application, tried at a VZ store, all the razr's and maxx's didnt work, only one I could get to work is the rezound which I expected since it comes with the headphones.

Has anyone found out how HTC modified android to get this to work? Is there any flashable files to try to get it to work? Or is the razr limited by hardware and not software?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x4-FAo:
Hey guys

I'm was just wondering which are the main difference between this two roms?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daralph:
Hey i mean they're both great, and everyone has his favs but i like AOKP even more than apex because there exist even more settings to perfectly fit to your sense. Little differences do exist but nothing really groundbreaking(installed launcher, more/less updates... )

Its a hard choice but your cannot make much wrong;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
i went from apex to aokp and for me aokp is much better with all the customization and updates. The dev for apex is pretty busy and doesnt get a chance to update his rom as much as aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I always liked Gummy for battery life but he is using the 4.0.3. Right now I'm using Axi0m and it's like AOKP but MUCH smoother.

Battery = Gummy

Smoothness = Axi0m

They all pretty much have the same features of AOKP now, which makes AOKP last on my choice list. Axi0m is a 4.0.4 hybrid, which may contribute to the speed. I use scrollable Twitter and Facebook widgets and Axi0m is the only rom that doesn't cause shutter when I give them a hard flick (top to bottom, etc). Just my opinion!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x4-FAo:
Thanks for responding guys.

I been using Apex for the last week and I had zero reboots, crashes, nada!

Running really smooth with nice tweaks and great battery life.

Time to try AOKP :)

I like very much CM7 notification bar switch. Can anybody tell me where i can find it and install it on DSC ROM (or any other GB ROM?).
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashDebug:
you cant install it's hardcoded in the ROM. it's up to the rom maker to implement it. i seem to remember dj steve writing somewhere that it's a lot of work to do from scratch

Disappointed about the shutdown. I didn't use the footprints, call log, footprints, etc but having the remote lock, track and wipe was a decisive reason for me to buy a DHD. I hope HTC think about that.
[Desire HD General] Berky99:
It's no loss, given it was umnreliable and its features are available elsewhere. For example the remote locking feature is bettr implemented with the free Avast security add-on (formally known as Theft Aware).

Exprtes i have desire s S-Off

so if i will install new recovery problem will solved ................

thanks
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
What recovery did you have? Ext4 or cwm?

What happened to cause this? did you pull out the battery?

Have you tried to reboot the device into boot loader and then enter the recovery manually?

Stolen from previous XDA post, sorry no reference

"Basically it's business as usual. Hold [volume-down] and [power] when the phone's turned off. That last bit's the tricky part - because of a feature called fast boot the DS does not really turn off when you shut it down but just hibernates. So you have to either turn off fast boot (in Settings -> Power) or pull the battery before attempting to enter recovery."

from my Desire S using XDA Premium
