I used to be a huge fan of Omens X-Gamer Rom (super light source build GB). Best Rom ever to our device. And sure for gaming and multitasting a super light GB Rom with 80MB Ram usage is better than a JB with about 270MB Ram usage though. I did try Gin2Jellybean and about 80% of all GB Roms listed in this thread but in fact I'm not a fan of harsh GB aminations (you'll see the difference once you used CM10.1 for a few days) and a huge fan of JB features such as expandable notifications and and Google Now. I recently tried a GB or ICS Rom which had the feature of expandable notications which was kinda impressive but imo it's just not the same as "real" JB. I also tried Xperia Slim as a up to date comparision but it's just a cleaned generic Rom and you know...just not feels as snappy :eek:

So I will still go for JB. I know battery life kinda sucks hard, it's to much computing for our small device, and camera and multitasting are not as good as generic based Roms but I like it and I will recommend it to user who ask for opinion.

Fun fact: My girl got a S3 few months ago and when I googled for Roms I found an Eclair Rom. Not seen something like this since my X10 mini pro :laugh:

Very less total RAM

Hi Guys,

My phone shows only 339 MB total and hard 60-70 MB RAM free. As per specs it suppose to have 512 MB RAM. Quardant hardware information also show 339 MB total RAM and 128 MB inactive RAM. please suggest how to activate inactive RAM. TIA
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Iqbal Ansari:
Man you will never get 512 MB free RAM on a 512 MB device. As some amount of RAM has to conserved at all time to perform important tasks such as camera and running the android OS.

If you have a computer check some amount of RAM is always occupied by the OS.

Its always better to search google before asking such simple question on a development site.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
Your GPU shares the RAM from the system itself as it doesnt have any dedicated RAM of it's own. It occupies a major part of the RAM that is not shown out of 512Mb.

Apart from that android does reserve some ram for it's own requirements that is never shown.

So, don't worry. You still have complete 512mb of ram. But, due to the working of the android OS. It never gets shown completely.

This is not a bug or anything. It is simply the way android works and shows it's info.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gubreal:
Thank you for your answer, Madaditya. I really appreciate Serajr's work, perfect reproduction of JB UI (I tried it in CM10.1). But I was talking about JB notifications that allow you, for example, to reply directly to messages and mails from the notification bar. Probably it's impossible to have them on GB or ICS..:(

it would mean smali edits on framewrok,System ui and related apps...more than this!

So,Yeah its Nearly impossible :rolleyes:

If just for msgs and whatsapp,why not Use pop up messages(Go sms pro) for both? :D

Lol!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
That would have been a good feature in GB. But, you see we can't have everything. The only way out for now would be to upgrade the mobile.

For now, I don't mind opening the messages from the notifications and then taking the appropriate actions.

By, the way can you tell me whether x-gamer is better than jin2gb in GB or not and how much difference was there.

Better battery ROM?

I tried (probably the only stable build of JB) LegacyXperia - stable 20130908 yesterday and left my phone 100% charged. This morning I saw that the phone lost about 80% battery in over 14 hours of doing nothing (see screenshot)

I am looking for a ROM with best battery performance. I am not picky about the Android version, it can be any (GB, ICS or JB)? I have tried official CM 7.2 and its the only one that gives me better battery performance but I want to know what other ROMs had to offer.

Also is it true that, using stock kernel gives you better battery life (I read it on some blog long time a go)?

Actually, I have locked bootloader. So, I cannot change my kernel. Stock means the original kernel that came from Sony. I have awesome battery backup with stock.

You can also try lupus kernel. The screen shot that I have provided in the link above is from a member who is using Lupus v2 kernel.

Using FlashTool:

- I have relocked the bootloader.

- Flashed stock 4.0.2.A.0.42

- Rooted

Then did FOTA and updated to 4.0.2.A.0.62 (I don't think I needed this, but I wanted to see if 62 had new version of stock kernel but it doesn't)

Used X-Parts v7 to Install CWM.

Backup

Flashed Gin2JellyBean v2.4.0 using CWM

Looking good so far BUT the keyboard doesn't work.

Any other for your suggestion :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Iqbal Ansari:
For working keyboard you have to flash another framework-res apk

Heres the link flash it with CWM

http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/75109074/file.html

Another suggestion if you want battery+performance use stock GB ROM with stock kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ltcdata:
Try Gin2jellybean (GB) with LupusGB V2 R1 kernel with the following options enabled in lupus menu: UKSM Normal+service (if it is V2 only, choose LOW), ZRAM (64gb), FRANDOM, all off them enabled at boot via init.d.

Set cpu to ONDEMAND+SIO min134/max1018.

Use betterbatterystat to check battery drainers. In airplane mode i get less than 0,4%/hour. And in 3g mode, about 0.9%/hour not using the phone.

Anyway, that screenshot shows that something is draining battery, you can install betterbatterystats and check what is happening.

How does the keyboard backlight work for you with LupusGB kernel? I did Gin2jellybean on stock kernel and I had to flash framework-res.apk which came with SystemUI.apk and it meshed up UI. see my post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45524266&postcount=415

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
Well, I tried ICS myself. And the best ICS rom is undoubtedly UHD by Jader. But, 512MB was just not enough for ICS. Multitasking ofcourse is nowhere near GB.

So, ultimately GB was what got me what I wanted. I would simply upgrade my mobile if I would want to use JB. For now, I didn't find anything that doesn't work or support GB.

For JB, beleive me there can never be a fully working rom. As, hdmi etc would never work. You can try pacman if you want. But, there is nothing to gain over ICS.

am on Legacy Xperia cm10.1 Release! Butter Smoort after tweakin little with fly on mod

Except hdmi,Fm radio and 720p Recording(Not working list) i didn't find any other Bug

And yeah better than ICS,for sure

if you still wanna be with ICs i suggest Pure Xperia HD Stage 2
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
Thanks for the suggestion.

The only reason for me not to go for JB is a non functional HDMI(premium feature that makes my mobile portable laptop), 720p recording. Can't just imagine a 8MP camera mobile unable to do at-least HD recording.

I have tweaked GB ROM with the tweaks you mentioned(supercharger, crossbreader, adreno booster). And nothing beats it. Period

I have tried an older version from UHD(ICS from Jader). Which have evolved a lot now. The developer have virtually incorporated all the tweaks in all the threads(other than SONY) possible. And the ICS have all the default apps of latest JB mobiles in 2013. With amazing fluidity that you mentioned.

JB is badly broken for our devices. If I would have a RAY, livewalkman etc. I would have thought about using JB. But, I don't want to loose the premium features that I have which includes HDMI, HD recording for a mere improvement in smoothness(which I gained more with tweaks).

It simply doesn't serve any purpose for Xperia ARC, PRO, ARC S users. I can play any game including Asphalt 7 on GB. There is nothing more to it as far as performance is concerned.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dark Fear:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] T_L_O_T_D:
well it depends on users usage. for ex i don't use cam recorder too much! how much video do i record in month or year? for hdmi yup doesn't work but new tv have wifi HDMI so you don't need HDMI cable and so on. well i don't use HDMI either,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
Yup, it depends on the user. But, what do you actually gain with JB that's not there in GB?

It's fine if you don't use those features. But, the whole idea of buying such costly device as arc s was those features in the first place( camera, hdmi). I could easily have bought a ray/neo/livewalkman/minipro etc and call it a day.

I paid extra for those features. Even if I forget about hdmi. Still, camera is badly broken as well. No quality and features at all. Arc was supposed to have the best camera module when it was released.

Compromising the basic hardware functionally for some placebo or small smoothness is not something I would recommend.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
Depends on the rom that you are using. There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to kernel. Some kernel tweaks work better with certain rom and not well for others.
