I can't even enter CWM! I am like spamming the back button like not tomorrow. I can't enter CWM. What do I do?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zephyr83:
Do you have bootloader unlocked? Did you flash kernel before? You enter CWM with button vol-
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
You gotta use the volume down button. Not the back button.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] convolution:
bootloader locked. I did not flash any kernels because i don't have bootloader installed. I got CWM 5 installed.

So what I do is I turn it on the phone and immediately spam the volume down button at like 100 apm, to no avail...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zephyr83:
I think you need new kernel for this rom!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
You need an unlocked boot loader to use this rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] convolution:
Okay guys. So I realize I need an unlocked bootloader and the kernel to use this rom.

What I currently need help with is how can I enter CWM. Everytime I get to the Sony Ericsson screen my phone freezes, and won't power down until I take out the battery. I tried spamming the volume down button to enter CWM, but it won't let me enter.

Do i reflash another ROM? Do I reflash stock? the only stock I found is in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25823739&postcount=1

But how would I flash a .ftf file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wiidbzxt:
You need to reflash a stock file using a software named "Flashtool".
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] convolution:
flashtool needs me to press the back button and hold it while i plug in the usb. This is to get me into flashboot, but I don't have it.

My bootloader is locked, so does that mean I can't use the flashtool?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zephyr83:
you need bootloader unlocked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] convolution:
nvm. I managed to flash the stock image with flashtool.

I think I'm going to give up on using a custom, because all the ROMS need me to flash a kernel using fastboot, which I don't have. To be honest, I don't even need to do anything to this phone; im selling it on Craigslist for $180 CAD if anyone wants to buy =P.

Back to playing around with my gnex.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wiidbzxt:
I'm using TEAM stock ROM, it's supports my BL locked Xperia Pro.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
Why don't you unlock the boot loader its as easy as pie.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mohanparvatham:
For flashing stock Rom there is no need to unlock bootloader......enter into flash mode not fastboot mode to flash Rom....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
Back button = flash mode.

Menu button = fastboot mode.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Barleyman:
The cwm "button" depends on the CWM fork. Got to love Unix people for consistency. With d00mlord's cwm it is indeed Back button. With cyanogenmod variety it's vol-.

Wrt unlocking bootloader, you can't watch "protected" media afterwards, Sony does not really spell this out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
There are workarounds for that buddy.. you can get fb music like and trackid working even with your lost DRM keys..

Hi guys,

Can we install apps to ext partition if we have that partition on our SD? Is it automatic? Please help me on this as my internal storage is quite low. Thank you so much in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
I removed the script which automatically mounts sd-ext. So you either have to put a script on init.d for it to work. or mount it manually using terminal every reboot.

@All

Sorry guys been inactive just got sick these past few days. Anyways would like to inform you that I'm currently working on Xperia Ultima kernel for ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nosedive:
this is great news!

keep on the good work and thanks for your effort :)

any chance for ultima ICS too? or kernel only?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neolah:
Thanks so much for your effort Riyal
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 1stichiban:
looking forward to the update.

Thank you very much for your hardwork :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] naveen88:
Feeling good to hear that dude.......hope it comes out before the official update.... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
Guys its not that easy.. to make the ics rom fully working we need a fully working kernel for ics.. and as there have been even no beta ics releases for pro Riyal would have to make the kernel from scratch and its kinda difficult without even having kernel sources..

NOTE : This post is my personal opinion..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
1st goes kernel then next is the ROM :) Actually there was already a semi(no wifi modules) fully working kernel I compiled on the thread where the leak ICS was posted. What I'm working now is the integration of the patches of the Ultima kernel from GB to ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
I just wish the official update comes soon :( but still no signs of it till now. It's not even posted yet on PTCRB site http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=19384 which means there's no ROM that was submitted for evaluation.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
Riyal, my bro.. time for some serious action.. official ICS update next week..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] erlern:
I have been using this ROM for nearly 2 weeks... I love it.

But I have to really ask - will we be able to receive the OTA update?

Can we actually update our phones using the official update or will it brick our phones? (Since we have unlocked the bootloader). Thanks. Just needed to clarify this so that I don't end up with a brick.

:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
1) About OTA updates -- If you are thinking of updating to ICS via OTA update, sorry you wont be getting it. ICS update will only be available through SEUS or PC Companion. Also trying to update OTA on unlocked bootloader may brick your device.

2) About official update -- If you try to use official update on an unlocked bootloader the SEUS service may not detect your phone or the PCC or SEUS may get stuck to the "Checking Device Software" page for weeks.

CONCLUSION -- You should wait for a while till someone uploads a ftf file for the official ICS update on XDA then flash it using FlashTool..

Hit "THANKS" if I helped..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 1stichiban:
In addition, maybe we can also "re-lock" bootloader think that would enable updating via PC Companion or SE Update Service.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
Yes we can.. but in order to install a custom rom we need to unlock it again.. So in my opinion using ftf file and flashing via flashtool is the easy way..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 1stichiban:
Yup, agree with you on this too. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Steven Seagal:
How do I get to "change mode" to 755, I do not know how to do, someone help me, please ... :confused:

It is for wifi ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xbeda:
You can do it in the Total commander in Properities of file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tigermess:
...and 755 means to set permissions to rwxr-xr-x. There's thread on how to do that in Root Explorer and sample screenshot, may it help you :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] x585x:
Really? Are you trying this?

http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
This was posted in XDA earlier than this..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] x585x:
I know about... Is it working or not?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
Works.. and next time ask such questions in the pro q&a thread..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] x585x:
If you can unlock the bootloader and it works as well as official update, so do not fully apply to what you wrote.

Thus, my question was not in vain and does not belong to another thread, as it was deliberate ...

So there is no need to unlock the bootloader again and again!

PS: Excuse me my poor English. PEACE
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] now.i.feel:
I've tried it.. i was stuck in the 'checking current device software' page for about 5 hours on SEUS.. i was using fw .42 on an unlocked bootloader if you might think i was on a custom rom..

Edit : i also consider Flashtool superior to SEUS or PCC for unlocked bootloader devices..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neolah:
to Riyal: there's some ICS 4.0.4 release by www.XPERIA.cz.

Can you check on it if it can help on Ultima ICS?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nosedive:
version mismatch

ultima 1.1 = gingerbread <> ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bern4d1:
I can't boot with the provided kernel for v1.1

EDIT: sorry my bad. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] anti-virus:
The ROM is almost perfect, and I plan to stick to it and never upgrade to ICS, but I hope you would update it before you move on to creating ROM and kernel for ICS.

- Please fix the menu, when a menu item is pressed the font change to black but the background doesn't change making the menu text unreadable.

- I've noticed on previous version (1.0.1), swipe to remove notifications is enabled, the same features I've seen on ICS which is cool useful. But on recent versions of Ultima it doesn't work.

- The previous quickpanel/notification toggles theme and icons is much better but this one is my personal preference. The first two is the things I would like to see in future update of this rom.

Thank you for creating such an awesome rom for our device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mooozer:
I encounter Force Close with V1.1 on Google Play.

This happens every time you try to open the detail view of an app in play for e.g. install, uninstall or update.

rom was installed clean
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RamEsRock:
Riyal, you should really update the changelog. You fixed this some while ago.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RiCi12:
I have a problem: if i try to buy something from the market, the play store app gives me a problem and i can't purchase the app.

Moreover, when i try to install an app from the browser, it doesn't show me my device, so i can-t install an app from that (i must access the play store from my xperia).

SO, do you know how to fix these problems? it'a nice rom, but these are big problems for me
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RamEsRock:
Check two posts above yours and you'll find the correct Kernel and Rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RiCi12:
Yeah i flashed the kernel and the rom posted above

With old kernel and rom, play store fc every time. Now it works, but i've got the problem posted above, like if my device was not accepted by google..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mooozer:
deletable

many thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
Updated the first page for v1.1.1. :D sorry forgot to update the first post.

Anyways I have a major announcement to make. I will not be developing a port of Xperia Pro Ultima ROM for the ICS. But instead I'll be developing only the kernel. But I will try to port each and every custom ROM that I can see from any of the sub forums of the xperia devices. That way I wouldn't have to focus on fixing bugs plus Xperia Pro users would have alot more options with ROMs.

So as a start anybody there interested on a ROM to be ported for Pro just post the link here :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] erlern:
Hi Riyal,

Thanks so much for developing a kernel instead. Will you make one that is usable on a rooted official ICS ROM? Mine is MK16i 4.1.B.0.431 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1682185

By the way, would you be able to include a fix for the battery charging for external batteries like the one shown here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23342813&postcount=9

Thanks a lot! :) Hope these things are doable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RamEsRock:
Perhaps a Stock Kernel, pre-rooted, with CWM and minor tweaks?

Also, is there a way that you can upload a ROM zip that doesn't includes Beats?

Your ROM is great, but Beats make my car speakers sound horrible, and I'm more comfortable in your ROM than CM... just in case you can remove the Beats library and put the normal audio... Or do you know about a Beats uninstaller?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
Hi! Thanks for your interests.

Here the Ultima kernel for Pro(ICS version) please report any bugs to me so I could provide a fix instantly.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27062816&postcount=120
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 1stichiban:
hi,

downloaded the file, may i just inquire about the installation.

We extract the file and flash the boot img and then install via CWM the file module.zip?

Thanks for your hard work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
@1stichiban

Correct :)

@erlern

I could actually do that but I don't have the guts to do it :p

Xperia devices uses i2c power supply driver and I have a horrible past messing up with that part of the system. Don't have much money to buy another Xperia Pro in case it get's fried up you know :)

Although I could pinpoint the code which handles checking the power current.

In kernel sources you can find it in

kernel/drivers/power/bq27x00_battery.c

You can modify the code in

static int bq27x00_battery_rsoc

or in

static int bq27x00_battery_get_property

http://50.56.186.177/gg/ICS/xsp-sources/kernel/drivers/power/bq27x00_battery.c

Posting this for reference just in case some devs might try to look at it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cLeAv0:
the only bug that i have noticed is that the wifi icon shows the "no signal" icon sometimes yet there is. Flashed the modules.zip. well it is really just minor :p

*edit*

can anybody provide the stock modules? So i can see if the wifi icon bug is still there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
Thanks cleavo for providing the feedback! I'm not quite sure about the wifi icon issue as I haven't given attention to that. And also stock wifi modules won't work on the kernel. How would you test it out?

Also the performance? How was it? You see I increased the dedicated memory of the GPU to suffice the needs of ICS graphics acceleration plus it has a newer than the latest Arc ICS ROM kgsl driver. Just wanna know if it worked out or not and if it's stable,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cccs1:
grafic power went down . in antutu the 3d and the 2d performance lower by ~ 150 points 3d and ~80 p 2d.

i used your ics3 kernel ( doomloard ) for share
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
The ics3 kernel is just a plain stock and old kernel with doomlord's ramdisk. The one I uploaded now is the latest one with my own mods and ramdisk. Are you saying that the current kernel I uploaded has lower benchmark results? If so I might need to revert back the changes as it opposes the main reason I applied it.

Also I don't understand what you mean by "grafic power went down" I don't understand how graphics has a power and went down or off. Sorry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cccs1:
i compared the both kernels .8 and .9 ( doom and yours )

for speedtesting i flashed your kernel and compared it to dooms one.

under the same setting i run thr antutu benchmark. with dooms one i get 3550 pts

with yours 3300 pts and for details i wrote down the results.

3d graphics has a real higher score sd card r/W is faster ( could it be ? , the results say yes )

the wlan performance is shown wrong or the signal is in fact to low ( wlan speed is good )

dont misunderstood i love your kernel and your work is realy one of the best i saw

( and i tested realy much roms ) so i want to help, that your work become the best for ics
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cLeAv0:
Well for me i hardly see any changes on performance. Tried 3d games like temple run. Maybe a little bit smoother? Dunno gonna test more.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
@csss1 & cLeAv0

Thanks for the feedback! I still have some pending fixes for the kernel so rest assured it's still not at it's peak performance.

And by the way do you guys encounter any reboot loops? How about overclocking/underclocking? also undervolting? Just don't test those governors as of now they're still not calibrated with the frequency tables.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cLeAv0:
No bootloops as of now. I had overclock to 1.6ghz and undervolted with no problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cccs1:
Uuups i changed to smartass v2 io sio with no probs overclocked to 1,2 ghz
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
It's ok the governors were just not calibrated but it's still working.

Great to hear that but would love to hear feedback from other users also.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cccs1:
Still waiting 4 a upgrade:-D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 1stichiban:
hi,

kenel's great. thanks!

the first ICS kernel i saw with voltage access :)

smartass2 governor failed to switch frequency but was working.

undervolted too with no problem...

however, maybe stock rom has a problem with the kernel. My phone froze when i tried to connect to PC.

switched back to Ultima GB now.

Thanks again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mohanparvatham:

Hi! Sorry I don't clearly understand your post. By saying keyboard do you mean the virtual keyboard or the hardware keyboard? And what about the scrollable symbols? I'm not too sure but the symbols pop up window on t9 mode is scrollable? If that's what you meant? Perhaps a screenshot of the problem would help :o

Hi! What problems do you encounter with underclocking? And what do you mean fix permissions after flashing the rom? the permissions are automatically being done while you are flash the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
I'm not sure if arabic layout is ok but you could test it and report to me if keys are misaligned? Either you give out the keyconfig of your stock ROM or give me a key layout of your hardware keyboard and which keys are wrong that way I could fix that for you. I only have a generic mk16 device so can't test all the keylayouts of all devices.

When i compare IT to the latest stock rom (.62) this One has less batterylife.

But that is the only disadvantage i can find so far......
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 28spawn:
Hi Riyal,

Ops, I mean the overclocking, any overclock my phone reboots, with cm 9.0 overclocked at 1.6ghz it runs fine, I think the voltage table from pro maybe is different from Arc (you get the voltage tables from Dooms kernel for arc?).

Bye!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krish225:
Thank you for this cool work

Everything works awesome. thanks for this ROM, but PLZ PLZ PLZ take a look at Battery Management..this rom consuming toooo much Battery at Standby mode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] naveen88:
Awesome work Riyal, it works flawlessly. Btw can you please tell me how to delete pre-installed apps?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xdodox:
I think you must delete this apps manual. /system/app by rootexplorer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mohanparvatham:
U can use system app remover application to remove system apps...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Riyal:
Thanks for the report! I now saw the issue I'll try to resolve it.

Could you give me a picture of your hardware keyboard layout?

The kernel has a little bit higher voltage compared to stock kernel because of the CPU frequency table to support overclocking profiles.

This one has a lower voltage table compared to doom's kernel. I suggest adjusting it to fit your needs :)

Same as the first 2 answers above plus the kernel has alot more frequency profiles so the processor scales frequency too often than stock. I suggest undervolting it. On my device I could undervolt up to 125mV on all profiles and it's alot more battery efficient than stock.

Too all I suggest using system tuner app. That's the one I'm using on frequency and voltage management.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] krish225:
PLZ Help

Suddenly Play Store FC's Today, yeah i did a clear data and clear cache..but still it FC :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] danielo83:
I have tried the system tuner app, but it won't go lower then 750 mV.

If i try to lower the voltage on the higher freqs my phone reboots.

What is FC?i've been wondering since i sign up XDA?

First of all i want to thanks to Riyal for such a great build!!!

i wonder why you are so genius!!;)

How do you maximize the battery life actually...i cant optimze it correctly by

undervolting.

Can you specify how..im sorry for my newbie question :)

anyway this thread is the best i found!!!
