Same settings+ultra brightness, best battery time
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Johnny Wishbone:
Hi

After unlocking bootloader, flashing nAa ics kernel (flashtool), MiniCM9 and last gapps in cwm my phone will not start miniCM9.

After nAa logo phone reboots.

Tried reflashing both kernel and rom but same result every time.

Installed SE original firmware (2.1.1.A.0.6) and checked if bootloader really was unlocked and it is. Flashed nAa kernel again, wiped data and installed everything once more but still reboot after nAa logo.

Downloaded all files a second time only to be sure they are ok.

So what i`m i doing wrong?

TIA
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pipi14:
Do it in this order flash nAa-ics-04 kernel boot to recovery, do full wipe install MiniCM9 3.0.3 after install finishes dont reboot flash gapps and then reboot and that should work...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
Has anyone noticed phone app keeps FC when you use the phone for sometime?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] brendow96:
I had exactly the same problems as you.

But once I did it: In the 2.1 rom I root the phone. After I installed with v28 Gingerdx ALFS kernel, and then went to NAA-ICS and installed the rom;)

It worked!

After I did this:

delete the data / factory reset

clear cache

Advanced> Cache clean Dalvik

assembly and storage> format / system

sdcard backup format sdcard, rom + paste GAPPS and things you need (and not the folders related to android)

install rom

install GAPPS

restart

not restore anything, no titanium or nothing

enjoy
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Johnny Wishbone:
Flashed nAa-ics-04 kernel, booted into recovery, full wipe, flashed miniCM9, unmarked reboot and flashed gapps but still reboot after nAa logo.

Pretty frustrating.

Any more ideas?

TIA

had anyone noticed the slow bluetooth transfer ?! sending a simple apk file from my notebook in 10kb/s speed :O
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pipi14:
When u flashed back to stock, did u turned phone on once? Maybe thats why u got this problem...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MarJar:
All is fine, i think this is the best.

Only one thing, sometimes is very difficult talk during a call for the low volume.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dark.Kaiser:
Aww. Though you fixed the Hw Accel in this version.. Nevermind.. Sticking to GDX. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] tiestobunio:
Awesome !

Used Mini CM9 from the first version on my X8, but I did not expect that it will be so far away that we will have a 90% efficient ICS Rom;) Thank you Nobodyatall:p

In settings partition info sd ext is showing up 114/262 MB but WTF why its not getting mounted please somebody can help me nAa mat anyone out there
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Try to reboot, or you can google how to manually mount the ext4 partition.

hi guys,

is there any quickfix for the audio problem that we could try? I tried to replace some of the audio related libs with the ones from 3.0.2, but the mediaserver segfaulted and the device wouldn't boot. is there some set of libraries that can be downgraded? maybe the entire ldd list of the mediaserver?

for me the incall volume has two states, very low and very loud, and it's a bit annoying. also sometimes the mp3 ringtone doesn't play. I didn't yet find a way to constantly reproduce it. the first time I noticed it is after moving back from vibrate mode, but it also happened without it. it behaves as if it tries to vibrate first then ring, but vibration is disabled and it never rings.

both these are a regression from 3.0.2.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hp3:
I flash this rom and it's great jo0ob. thanx to naA & other guy.

Ics rom is very smooth but not when a app or game is runing and you have a call .

and Sms is slo0ow to. chiefly Go smspro . Call and sms work slowly .
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
The rom is brilliant. just a little lag. maybe due to lack of ram. I just get arnd 22 mb RAM free. How do you free up more ram?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] krishna_yana:
swap option in this ROM make swap file in the first partition, not in the swap partition... is it right?? is there any way to make the swap in swap partition other than using swapper app from market??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dagger:
were u able to fix it and how???
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pipi14:
Dont think so. I just deleted the swap partatition and i`m using MiniCM9 swap file right now which works very well for me...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
Checking in terminal it seems to use my swap partition just fine, despite the menu setting saying 'swap disabled'.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pradhana:
I guess its only for swapping into sdcard (not swap partition) :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
People tend to mix up these two things. One thing is swap partition and completely different one is swap file. You got partition, no need for file and vice versa.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
I was replying to this post:

i.e. swap partition works as it is even if the menu says there isn't any. You don't need any extra tool.

I'm also happy to say that battery drain regression from 3.0.2 seems to be fixed.

Can't really comment on performance/stability yet, but all in all it looks like an excellent update!

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] krishna_yana:
ok thx, first problem solved...

The next problem, i found that KSM aka Kernel samepage merging always reverted back to disable after reboot, the same thing also happened with Background proccess limit (i set it to 2 app bfore restart, after restart it revert back to standard limit)... can someone help?? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pipi14:
Disable undervolt...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
Would not suggest KSM as it negatively impacts both performance and battery life; same is true for zRam.

You're the best - didn't notice that 3.0.3 comes with 04 kernel. Thank you! :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rain_1:
I just want to say thanks for all the hard work put in this thread. Because of it (and others) I managed to Unlock the Bootloader (it was actually already unlocked, which stroke me as weird, but anyway), flash a new Kernel and flash MiniCM9 on my mom's X8.

I love user-support, as this phone has been stuck on 2.1 with an horribly slow UI since I bought it and it's usability became lower and lower as the weeks passed by.

I was really amazed by the installation wizard. With User Agreement gates and nice fancy graphics. Really really good work.

Once again, thanks!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Eduardo C.:

And speaker too loud, too.

Anw, this so damn good. Really smooth and OC stable at 768Mhz

FAQ :

1/ is miniCM9 an april 1ST troll???????

ok, we are on April the 1stn but NO, it is not a troll, just some teasing, and then you'll be able to test it by yourself (on X8 only atm, you'll need to wait a little more for mini and pro)

__________________

2/ for miniCM9-3.0.0 on X8, sim isn't recognized, what to do?

disable sim lock (pin) and then it should work (to disable, use another phone, or miniCM7)

__________________

3/ for miniCM9-3.0.0 on X8, cypress digitizer doesn't work ??

use the dedicated fix :

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ribben:
Please if you can specify how much a little? (we all are admirers of nAa work and get a little bit more jealous when a device get a bit faster the newest version of miniCM. I hope for your understanding :D )

Solution: Unlock your bootloader :p

I think it will be a challenge to make ICS working on stock kernel .. :silly:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
Uh, Oh! This morning I have this bad surprise. I think something remained activated, in aero mode too, but the list of applications did not give me any suggestion. In my experience, battery life of 3.0.3 is very very good.

I'm testing different combinations about memory config. I removed swap for this reason: I tested 32, 64 and 128 MB swap, but I mount a class 6 sd, so and when SO have to change swapped memory block the phone for a very very long time. The reloading time without swap is maybe preferable.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
i experience it this morning too :p

all the night was ok, but in the morning (after little wifi browsing) battery suddenly drain down, with no apparent cause (device idle) : way to fix a little reboot, and everything is back to normal :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
Maybe too hot (I'm not joking)! I had sometime the same like you: lost only 1% during the night then drop 5% in few seconds when activated, as the phone would not registered the night consumption; two night ago instead I lost 2% and it was a real 2%, so I think tonight it was accidental.

And about my second question concerning swap, do you have suggestion?

tnx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanderbouw:
I'm using swap partition, i've tried the new swap setting with the swap file but it takes too long before apps start. Using a swap partition of 256 mb on a 10 class sd card and it's working fantastic!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
about swap,

i currently use 128MB file size, on a class10 PNY SDHC card (10MB/s write; and 12MB/s read; yeah this is not a 200x or even 133x but it cost less and seems to be enough for swap (i previously had a 2MB/s write SD :p))

using swap file has as a consequence a slower boot which needs to build the file, after it is built, everything should be ok.

256 is extremely long to build, 128 is faster and enough for nearly everything you wanna do.

nAa recommend a 32MB file, but (again) i disagree (feel it does not improve so much and leads trashing more frequently) until i find what is the best for real; so atm my favorite is 128

use KSM too, if you want KSM and dithering settings to be kept, disable set on boot option in CPU settings and re-enable by yourself UV+OC (which is obviously safer!!!)

:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] yokozuna:
Some thoughts after the installation (nAa ICS 04 kernel + MiniCM9 3.0.3).

- the system feels more sluggish than nAa Gingerbread 13 kernel + MiniCM7 2.2.1

- it also feels very different

- there are some options that are in different places (e.g. the CyanogenMod option disappeared as a separate place in the options) and some do not work exactly the same (e.g. in MiniCM7 I could both undervolt AND overclock the CPU. In MiniCM9 it is not possible anymore)

- I know that some thing should probably work different (e.g. no thumbnail pictures are shown in my addressbook, how to make them appear?). I have no idea if it is the bug in this release, the bug of CyanogenMod as such or Android 4.0 in general.

- there are some obvious bugs in the setup after the fresh installation, but rather aesthetic than functional in nature
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
hmmm

feels different : 2.3 and 4.0 are really differents !

options are now in their right place, and it is possible to OC and UV at the same time ! just don't tick "set on boot" option, it creates conflict

thumbnails are processes differently in ICS (32*32, 64*64 and 128*128 pics), it seems to be fixed in JB

theses bugs will be fixed in future :)

thanks for feed back :)

Where do I set my Google account after install v3.0.3?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
Hello :D

Mine if I say a few words? Well basically my experience with 3.0.3 is that its definitely 50% faster which is a big plus but it can be inproved(over time I supposed). Facebook doesn't have the option to sync contacts :/ But overall I think it is really feature packed and I think nAa really make it become so official, what with the MiniCM9 Installer and OTA etc... ROM is relatively bugless, although I give all one advice: Don't restore Call Logs, but SMS and MMS should be fine ;) At least for me.

One question: It's true that HDPI themes require more juice to run right? Thanks :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
When I try to add my Google Account on "Settings->Accountts & Sync" I only have two choices, add an Email or add Corporate. What should I choose to add my Google Account?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Yes they do. HDPI theme includes higher resolustion pics which require more juice :P to run.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
Please somebody help me, because now I don't have contacts and stuff from my Google Account.

Same problem even with latest MiniCM9 3.0.3...

I hope it will be fixed soon... Looking forward to updates...

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] yokozuna:
No problem with the addressbook really, because I use Contapps anyway https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android but it looks weird - big blank spaces.

For the interested ones - this SMS app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1723534 works very well with the ROM. It is a bit pity that it is not installed by default.

I also noticed that the battery life is better with my Experia (compared to MiniCM 2.2.1), so MiniCM9 must be better in saving energy (@ comparable option setup, MiniCM7 was even undervolted, contrary to MiniCM9 which is not). What is funny - both are much much better than the stock ROM of my phone.

Subtle hint for a Jelly Bean release? :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
JB is not relesed yet, only the preview. There wont be a JB relese before the sourse code is relesed in the middle of juli.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanderbouw:
It's a pity you don't know me well enough, otherwise you'd know i was kidding ;)

Of course i know source isn't released yet, but like someone said in another topic, time for IceCreamBeam?

But i also know it isn't right to push nAa to do stuff especially since there isn't even a source code to build of and since we don't have got a fully and stable final working ICS Rom. And nAa is a wonderful developer so whatever he'll decide to do, it'll be the right decision. (Let's not talk about him quiting)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
This would be more of a waste of time rather than a challenge.

There are far more interesting tasks than 'porting for stock'.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pipi14:
Yeiii, my phone hates stock kernel anyways. Dont know why, but with stock kernel WiFI dont work. I mean it works but for a very little amount of time...

I found a bug ;( How to reproduce it:

1. Turn On GPS and Mobile Data

2. Open Endomondo

3. Start training

4. After a few minutes (I think when phone tries to download/upload something) phone is losing connection to network only reboot can fix this (sometimes when I try to on/off Plane Mode I get information about "com.android.phone stop working")

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] yokozuna:
Every 3rd ofr4th USB connection (and attempt to work with the Xperia as storage) to my computers (desktop and laptop) I experience sluggish work and blinking three commands "swap enabled", "swap disabled" and "SU granted rights permission" (or something like that, BTW I set superuser that it gives the permissions automatically to any program".

Is anyone that experiences similar behaviour? Replugging usually makes the Xperia work as it should. If not the second replugging of the smartphone does the job :-) I could not find any pattern to reproduce the bug (??).

And one more thing - but it is not a bug of MiniCM9 or Android 4.0. Which energy saver in your opinion would be the best? I used JuiceDefender and it worked very well with Gingerbread, but there are some issues with the newer OS. Unfortunately the author stopped updating the app in December and does not response for e-mails and messages sent via G+.
