NEED HELP!!!

I tried to create a new ROM based on SONY stock rom.

Here is wht I have done:

1. Rooted my Stock Rom and applied CWM aswell.

2. Copy SYSTEM folder to my PC and then changed some files. Then, I created a ZIP file with SYSTEM folder and used one of the tool to sign APK files. It created META-INF folder. But, it will not have update-script.

3. I took very simple update script (it has mount, copy and unmount system and data folders) and copied it in flashable zip file.

4. Now, I installed that zip file. It installed without errors. But, when I try to reboots, it just stays in BOOTLOOP.

5. Then, I checked Log file in CWM. it says: "skipping execution of extended command. file not found...". Dont know, what exactly is the problem. Can you please suggest some tests that I can do.

if you need to review any file, do let me know. I ll try to make it available for you...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] coolrevi:
i think its the problem with the permissions..in update script i guess..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srihari210:
info req

Below is my Update script:

format("MTD", "system");

format("MTD", "cache");

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

unmount("/system");

unmount("/data");

I took this from one of the working Rom. Can someone have a guide to write Update script??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] coolrevi:
As i said u have to set permissions. for example

set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/bin");

set_perm(0, 3003, 02750, "/system/bin/netcfg");

set_perm(0, 3004, 02755, "/system/bin/ping");

set_perm(0, 2000, 06750, "/system/bin/run-as");

set_perm_recursive(1002, 1002, 0755, 0440, "/system/etc/bluetooth");

something like this in the update script.

Thanks... Oh, thats the one I missed....:p

Now, I have got another Rom from Stock based... hopefully, it should work perfect... :good:

ANd if you have to choose the best JB rom as of today:

Based on: fully runing, less things missing (like 8mp cam, 720p, sym key, keyboard light, stable!), which rom would you choose? Pausebreak? Pacman? Fxp?

Best rom? Thats t0x1c for Gingerbread!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srihari210:
Information

I guess, that might be wrong. Because, only stock ROM has all functions working perfectly. Lets take some functions like HDMI, CAMERA options, Multiple Language inputs and dictionaries and so on.... Which rom does have all these functions working... Its none other than stock rom.

Did you ever think of, "why camera, HDMI, and some apps doesnt work good in custom ROM". Because, Some hardware architectures(HDMI, CAMERA and many) of Xperia mobiles was not released to public modding by SONY. So, if some one needs to develop custom rom from source, then, obviously, these functions has to be done in Trail and Error method. This is the reason why, we dont have perfect applications for these functions in our custom ROMs.

So, what we can do is, increase performance of STOCK rom by autokilling unnecessary apps. This can be done by applying tweaks to our stock roms. like, apply deep sleep mode, increase time interval to check wifi connection, killing or removing unnecessary services and many more tweaks.We can replace laagy frontend apps with light and fast alternatives. These tweaks will surely increase performance of any ROM(stock or custom rom). So, I believe, even our stock rom do have the ability to compete with most of the available custom roms available right now... Anyway, its just my opinion, do let me know if I m wrong!!!!

hit Thanks if I helped you...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ardalaan:
100% agree with you

Stock rom + tweaks = better thane every custom rom

but !

even if i have best stock rom with many tweaks eventually i will go for testing the custom roms that releases every day

i think its in the human nature that wanted to try new thing and with android me myself wanted to test every possible rom for my phone ( as i did and doing )

x-Parts CWM Installer APK

Hi, I'm a new MK16A owner just yesterday. I finally decided to abandon my old G1, and I wanted to still have a QWERTY phone.

Yesterday I rooted the stock GB and tried to install CWM using the x-Parts APK that I downloaded from Google Play on 10/26/12. It didn't work. However, I don't remember what version it was. I had to use the ADB push method with the "install-cwm1.cmd" batch file. Supposedly version 6 does work, and maybe the store wasn't up-to-date.

Great thread! I appreciate all the helpful info found here!

SUPER SMOOTH!

Battery life very great so far, almost stock ics like (ondemand governor)

But the rest of the phone.. quick, smooth!!! very very good work!

Could you estimate about how long the phone will run with minimal usage?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ltcdata:
I left the phone overnight (8hs, ondemand governor, airplane mode) and only lost 2% of charge.

Today i was trying a lot of things, so i'm using it a lot more than usual.

I will have a better battery estimate with less use in the weekend.

But from what i see, the battery consumption its very similar to stock ics.

Pd: if i switch video from 720p to 480p it records flawlessly. It's the only bug i have to report right now.

I created a flashable Zip file with apps in /data/app folder(This zip does include some apps in /system/app folder aswell). This is 'coz, I want to delete these apps when ever I wish. My update script for the zip flie is as below:

mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");

mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "data", "/data");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

set_perm(1000, 1000, 0771, "/data");

set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");

package_extract_file("add_to_buildprop.sh", "/tmp/add_to_buildprop.sh");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/add_to_buildprop.sh");

run_program("/tmp/add_to_buildprop.sh");

This zip flashes without any problem. but, apps in /data/app folder are not installed. Can some one have a look at this script and correct me if I m wrong somewhere :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] spacelime:
You need to install the wifi modules, usually a zip-file that you download from the kernel maker. You install this in CWM after you install the rom. And btw, this thread is for PRO not arc so pleae post in the main arc forum.

so what are your running? Baseband, kernel, rom? I probably get about 20% drain if I leave it overnight... crazy! must be something wrong with my battery =(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ltcdata:
Baseband 77, JB kernel and rom both recommended by mang for the pacman rom.

Your battery must be very used, or you have a running process that is wasting your battery.

Eating power

I would tend to agree you must have a process eating your battery. I run LenoROM, Kernel from that ROM, and baseband 77. (Props to rihari210)

I turned on airplane mode last night and had a 2% drop over 7.5 hours. Running at 134MHz and 800MHz on interactive governor.

Try this: OK cant post links - Watchdog in the Play market

Helps you nail the issue down.

Equally, use TB or SystemCleaner to freeze apps, and see if that helps.

Check the individual app settings for how often it updates. ;)

Alternatively you could go back to Stock and see what that is like.

Good to hear that, you resolved ur issue.

Yup, I got same information(from another user) on un-formatted /system & /data drives when installing LENO Rom. In Next version, I will change update script to format /system and /data and then install OS. I strongly believe, this should solve the problem.

As an Addon, I will be adding "Active Apps free" apps in next version. You can install them from Google PlayStore. This widget shows the current active apps running on mobile. There is an option to close all. So, That should help us. As this is a free version, some adds are expected but, we can get rid of them by using AdFree app in LENO rom.

Wifi Issues

If you happen to have Xperia arc LT15i and want to move to any other rom besides stock, wifi does not work for most of recommended kernels.

I have tried quite a few to come to the conclusion that advanced stock kernel V9 by Sega works well with most of these roms if you install wifi module provided within the thread.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Anne_Droid:
Did you flash the kernels in this thread on your LT15i?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Robby80:
Yeah some of them.

Usually one will find links to kernels recommended by rom makers in their threads.

So I prefer to follow their links.

Regarding Sega's kernel, I am on it for the last couple of days and it suits ultimate HD rom. Also the battery consumption is very good.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] coolrevi:
The kernel in this thread are for Xperia pro. Mk16i. Thats why it wont work on lt15i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Robby80:
Then why is it posted in Xperia arc section?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dympy:
Because there's not MK16i/a specific forum and the moderators were OK with us being here, since our hardware is pretty much the same.

Though most of the time ROM/Kernel Developers place the device name in the title between brackets, so like [PRO] or [ARC/S].
