Hi friends! I have made a flashable zip file which will give you more free RAM and by that way get better performance, less lag and less battery-loss!

I have now 94MB free RAM!

(77+17=94MB) if not in settings*

Make sure you make a BACKUP first!

Step1:

->DOWNLOAD<- and place it somewhere in your SD-card

Step2:

Use "root explorer" or something that gives you access of changing system files.

go to /system/ and remove the folder "app", (let every single app get removed)

Step3:

now you will start to get many popups, remove your battery, only way to restart phone.

Step4:

Go into CWM-recovery! (dont let the phone start or you will have to remove the battery again to restart it)

Step5:

Flash the zip you downloaded and did put in SD-card

Step6:

Wipe dalvik-cache in advanced

Step7:

Done, now reboot into phone and enjoy!

IMPORTANT! you have to flash gapps again! ->Download gapps<- and flash them again!

"Thanks" are appreciated :D

Creds:

Also thanks to nAa and his team for great ROM and kernel!

Reloaded ICS team!

faiyyaz - for the phone.apk and mms.apk (they are included in this zip!)

No bugs experienced so far, please PM me if you experience any new bugs after flashing this zip!

reboot loop

i accidentally change my max cpu to 787 the accidentally tick set on boot! :( is there anyway to solve it without full wipe?

i know i should post at QA section but since i use this rom..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wc_how:
Not to offend, but why do i find many peoples like to discuss about the battery?

It is a very normal issue that if you use more on your phone, you will consume more battery. You won't get extra battery no matter how do you set, except you are facing battery drain. In this case you have reset the battery stats / recalibrate.

For me, i didn't purposely set any setting in the phone. I am only turning on the undervolt, and before this i was using ON DEMAND, but i switch to Smartass v2 last few days for testing. I found my battery usages are same between the 2.

I switched from GDX to this rom. I found this rom is about 10% consuming more than GDX, but i believe it is quite normal because ICS shall be using more by its performance and the memory management.

When i was using GDX, my battery was estimated can go for 7+ days with 90% idle (but it actually stopped at 5 days because i started using my phone again after 4days of busy, and that 5days remaining more than 50% of battery).

It is very normal to "use" the phone more than 3-5+ days if you put your phone in almost idle all the day.

And it is very normal to use phone for 3-5hours non-stop with data on, wifi...

For my daily usage, my phone can use for 12-18hours with quite actively using it.

If your battery can meet in such of situation, i believe your phone is working in a good condition and nothing can complain about it.

I just want to share my view to the battery. If you spend more, your battery will be consumed more. The rom/setting is not a magic it won't turn some free energy for you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zhuhang:
hmm, maybe u can go to cwm, and find a way to copy files to system/

edit the scripts containing OC, im not sure where is it, disable it and push into system if able. :confused:

My idea. If cwm cant connect to adb,

edit the script, put it in a flashhable zip, push to sdcard, flash it in cwm.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanderbouw:
I like your idea, but why didn't you just adjust the update-script to delete all the apps. This way is very hard for some people. And you should've noted which files are going to be deleted.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zhuhang:
Your battery life is what i had last time. but slightly better.

And no, my settings is not for idling, for idle can go max 3+ days

for heavy use may not be 3 days but will improve a lot i think, but i not sure whether the settings work for u, try!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AckeflyRyzle:
Are my app will all remove? Like flash new Rom??

---------------------
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] roobeyn:
I dont know the words :(

I only know how to delete ALL data and system,

do you have any idea?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanderbouw:
Code for deleting apps:

delete("/system/app/Browser.apk",
"/system/app/DeskClock.apk",
"/system/app/DSPManager.apk",
"/system/app/Galaxy4.apk",
"/system/app/Gallery2.apk",
"/system/app/HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk",
"/system/app/LatinIME.apk",
"/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk");

Don't forget all the " and the ; at the end.

So it will become like this:

ui_print("Hi");
delete("/system/app/yours.apk");
ui_print("done");

Good luck!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] roobeyn:
THANKS!! :D:D

But i think i will have to write:

delete("/system/app");

cuz i want to remove everything not included in zip
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanderbouw:
That way you won't remove anything.

Deleting a folder is like this:

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");

Edit: Never mind, your way works as well.

*Sorry for being Off-topic.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Zuczeq:
you should tell us what exactly this zip contains (I see apk's, but I need to know what was changed)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
How do you get it to work on this ROM?

Wanted to give this a try but it doesn't appear to make use of the swap files it generates. 'free' command reports swap size as 0.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dupx69:
@roobeyn

Yeah. What matter have your zip? What "special" is in it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] roobeyn:
It have apps customized to mdpi/ldpi devices(smaller pics and so on), if im right the current apps that is following with the ROM is just ported directly from other stronger devices which make the apps take more performance because they are customized for stonger phones :D hope thats an answer!;)

BUT! I have also:

1. I have removed the old lame launcher "trebutchet" and gave you "Apex-launcher" instead(FASTER and more features, you can customize it so it will look exactly the same as trebutchet)

2.I changed the statusbar, the new one is faster and you have the ability to theme it yourself or remove the themes if you want original.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AckeflyRyzle:
HAHA thanx ! i will try it. . . btw the app folder in system not delete? and dont have to flash the gapps using this new method? :p

@nAa, how difficult would it be to port MiniCM9 to C# using the newly updated Sharpen tool by xamarin team? Not asking you to do it, just really would it boot and would it be much faster? Any difficulties in it i.e stuff not working?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Paschalis:
C#?

C# isn`t MS language and work on their framework?

C parts of code for some faster implementations like recursive functions, can be done with JNI in the android NDK.

But to port the whole rom in another language.. dont think so :)

is anybody also having issues with the music? the music hangs a couple of times when im browsing & listening music or something else. :s
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
which cpu gov ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] irot3k:
i tried it w/ ondemand but also happens with smartassv2
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
ondemand is default, and neither powerfull, nor battery saver, don't use it ;)

some problems with music happens when memory is overflowed by the browsing (e.g. dolphin need lots of resources)

some other when CPU clock is too low

happens most for listenning to music and receiving sms while screen is off using interactiveX (locked at lowest freq)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] irot3k:
ok, now i learned a bit more about 4.0.4. im sure it'll be fixed in the nex release :)

but thanx matt, youre a great help as always :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
i addition, it is not recomended to use 19MHz with interactiveX gov (because of the lowest freq lock when screen OFF) because receiving call or sms, or listenning to music can lead to freeze : can't increase freq since screen keeps off, cpu charge becomes 100% @19MHz, and phone freezes ... before it can light the screen :p

smartassV2 is better for this : uses the freq it needs, no lock

but no problem of that kind with 122MHz : enough to listen to music, receiving sms without freezing and being able to light the screen :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mcpaddington:
Theoretically it should be nearly as smooth as Windows Phone 7; much faster, lightweight and smoother anyway. Which means more free RAM, faster phone and better battery life.

Oh and I forgot to mention that all apps wouldn't work, they would need to be converted to C# :P

Of course, you should convert every app:D

I have one little issue... Email app always stays on no matter what I do.I kill it with Task Killer and it runs again.I mean, it isn't open, but it runs on the back.

I don't want to remove it since I want an email app (and not the one for Gmail) and all the ones I have tried from Market are not as good...This one has only this issue.

Gmail app doesn't do this.

I have selected to sync every day, not every hour or with push, but it still runs.Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hetunandu:
if u dont use the app at all then freeze it with titanium backup

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
I'm very confused about this ROM. I changed trebouchet for Adw L EX (and it is very, very better), set CPU at 748, smartassv2. Removed a lot of graphics assets but I still have this ROM terribly laggy, zRAM enabled. But I hav 10/15 secs lag to open contacts app, 10/15 secs to have the selection number, when I receive a call, I have to wait seconds and seconds before the replay button appears. Sometime I'm not able to wake up the phone, so I have to retry after a minute (or remove the battery!). Multitasking is almost impossibile and everything I do, averything, then I have to wait the home redraw. And if I force multitasking the reply is a red led and a reboot.

With this conditions for me is impossible to use like daly ROM. I don't know what I wrong.

X8 in my opinion is overstressed by this CM9. Ok, it would be a great thing ICS on our phone, but not at all costs.

How do, you "daily" users?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Vicky26:
I use it as my daily rom.I have deleted things like DSP Manager, default music player and installed Miui, I have Apex Launcher, Ram Manager, I deleted Advanced Task Killer and now I use Watchdog...

I have also installed roobeyn's fix...everything's smooth.

I have said it before, every device is different.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
Yes, I did it, of course, and others apps. Just the same I had on SDE (where I come back). From here comes my dubt: for me, this ROM is not (or not still) ready for daily use.

Yesterday I installed the ICS fix, but I found inside the ICS reloaded with hes microscopic icons, maybe a little improvement of performance, but the same mega lag in loading contacts (if I have to phone I want do it quickly, not to wait my phone time) and after few minutes the habitual red led and the consequent reboot.

I apologize, but in my opinion this ROM is for experimental, not daily use.

But I repeat, this is my personal opinion.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] channaq4:
my personal opinion most of the time lag start some process use cpu (cpu load get about 90%)
