Hi guys! I need at least 5 more volunteers on trying out the Ultima kernel for ICS. Main objective is to test out the kernel stability. It should be stable now but I have made some further modifications on the GPU. So I need anybody here to try out and maximize the graphics usage and report to me some reboot loops.

PM me if interested :)

Edit:

Ok as per request I'm posting it publicly. :D But please guys need decent feedback here :) specially with reboot loops if there's any.

are these instructions valid for Xperia Arc?

Thread says these instructions are for Xperia Pro (MK16a/i) only...so why is it in xperia arc section? will it work for xperia arc?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Artanis02:
There is no Xperia Pro section, so everything regarding MK16i is in Arc/S section :)

I know, it's confusing.

Why So???

Guys...

When we install CM10/10.1 based roms, we are getting TOTAL RAM as 380MB

But, for stock based ICS roms, we are getting TOTAL RAM as 340MB only.

As you see we are missing 40MB from stock Rom. Why is it so??? You can check this in any posts that shows Free RAM screenshots. or u can see Total RAM difference in different roms.

This 40MB RAM is very much required for us to get lag free RAM.

AND, I bought new SPICE F3 Fablet. it has 512MB of RAM. When, I saw RAM usage in settings, its shows TOTAL RAM as 480MB. But, at max our device XPERIA PRO shows only 380MB(340MB for stock rom). Why is this so???. I believe, both device has 512MB of RAM.

Some one can clarify these doubts. It will be helpful for all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] beavermml:
from what i know.. in cm10/cm10.1 the developer removed the 720p recording = more RAM.. and why we got 380/340MB RAM instead of 512MB is becoz 128MB has been used as a ramdisk.. correct me if im wrong
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srihari210:
Thanks for the reply. I think, you r right... Ram disk uses some Memory. And 720P uses some memory aswell. As of I read in some posts, if we remove 720p recording, it will give us 22MB of free RAM. What about 18MB of RAM. Can some Kernel developer remove 720P from Stock kernel, 'coz, I love playing games on my PRO. But, what ever I do, I m not getting more than 180MB of free RAM. If we can remove 720P, I can get 220MB of free RAM, which is quiet enough to play games

Is there any Kernel developer who can remove 720P from Latest LUPUS-STOCK Kernel. I really need more RAM to play HD games.

New Launcher Created by ME - Damn Lite

Guys,

I have been searching for Light Launcher from the day I bought my xperia pro. Few launcher has attracted me but, then, when I see running apps they take 25 to 30+MB. So, I thought, why cant this be damn small. If we save memory, then we can play HD games.

So, After coding for one week with no sleep till late hours, I came up with a new Launcher and it is best and Error free lite launcher.

I can bet, no launcher is liter than this in past, present or future. For now, I didnot include Widget screen and multiple screens.

Without images, Launcher is about 22.4KB. I named this as ACTIVITY Launcher.

I tested this on my device and Galaxy S3. Looks good. Today, I will try on other devices aswell.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Iqbal Ansari:
Try holo launcher. No RAM usage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srihari210:
As of I know, Any Launcher has two parts. one is the Home screen and the other is Showing Apps activity. 99% launchers have both these screens combined in a single package. In any launcher, Loading App Icons from Package Manager takes some RAM and Additional images and functions that monitor changes will run in background that takes some more RAM. So, Most of the launchers take some amount of memory (Say, 25-30MB of RAM).

In my launcher, I created two apks, one for home launcher and other for showing All Apps. So, when u kill all process, launcher will have low priority. So, in my app, Home apk will be in memory (Takes 6MB of RAM) and All Apps(10MB) of RAM will be treated as normal app and it can be easily killed by Android. So, only 6MB of RAM is taken by your OS. I think, this difference in RAM (15-20 or even more) is a valuable amount for playing games. This will make, ur 180MB free RAM to cross 200MB.

These launchers are just Activities. So, I named this as activity launcher.

Holo launcher, Zeam Launcher, Nemus launcher takes less amount of RAM as compared to other launchers. Big Launchers usuall take 45MB of RAM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Steven Seagal:
Looks good ... Holo launcher and Zeam launcher, also get stuck because of the RAM ...

JB Lupus + CM 10.1 camera?

I'm considering flashing a kernel and ROM for JB

Kernel: [PRO][KERNEL] LuPuS-JBv12 [JB 4.1 & 4.2][LINARO 4.7.3][UPDATED 08-06-13

ROM: CM 10.1

Camera, Whatsapp and watching movies are really important to me, is the camera quality better/worse compared to my current kernel + ROM?

When talking about performance, I am already using Swapper 2 (256mb) with SD partition on a class 8 SD card, so will JB make a big difference?

Ultimate HD ROM 3.0.2

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] noucannothaveapony:
I'm always looking for new launchers but where to download your "ACTIVITY Launcher"? I cannot find it in the store.

Because of laggy homescreens I switched to Smart Launcher. It's all in all 12MB Ram usage on my Pro with CM10.1. I can play NFS Most Wanted lagfree and use Greenify to keep Apps like Whatsapp calm when I'm not using them.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srihari210:
This is in the early stage... But will not force close at any moment. You need to install both of them.

Right now, I didnt put any widgets. And this launcher will take around 5.5MB of RAM.

In future, if possible, I will add widget screens. Infact, I m not a Android developer. I googled most of the code and watched many videos and lots of time with fixing... At last I came up with this.

I m trying to get location details of mobile on homescreen. But, it works only when internet is available. I m trying to get details from Network operator. Anyway, its still in progress

Which is the best performace and feature rich GB ROM for Xperia Pro?

I currently have a locked bootloader so my choices are limited.

I am looking for a custom GB ROM which have the best features along with performance.

I have shortlisted the following ROM for the shoot-out.

If you have had a previous experience with any of the GB ROM then do share your experience here for every PRO user :fingers-crossed:.

1. Xperia Plus V10.1

2. Atomic GB 7.0: My default ROM for now. Good ROM but with limited Camera options inbuilt.

3. X-GAMER V2.0:(Is not available right now. Anyone can mirror)

4. Arconium 8.2

5. Gin2JellyBean v2.4.0: Seems to be promising. But, don't know how it's compared to others.

6. X-stronger-5.0: An ambitious ROM which seems to have a complete set of Camera and performance options.

I had previously used UHD ROM from Jader. After which my mobile had been restored to GB by the Sony service centre. Now, I was fed-up with the laggy mobile. So, now I want to do it once and for all. Please share your experience and we should have a poll for the best GB ROM for Pro out here :cyclops:!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shareupload:
Go for cm 10 .1 ( android 4.2.2)

i have tried each and every rom mentioned in the list and would say for stock or stock based custom rom........ Thumbs down

go for cynogenmod .........currently im on cm 10.1 and would say that its the smoothest and lag free rom ever but the rom is currently work in progress so some of the things dont work according to plan

in short say no to gb or ics go for cm 10.1 if u can unlock your bootloader

:p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lawong:
hi , this camera mod work great on xperia pro too,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2331831
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
Yeah! I first started considering cynogenmod. As it is the latest ROM for our devices which support JB.

But, as soon as I started reading about the bugs and non functional hardware components. I decided not to go with that.

I have Xperia Pro which have HDMI, an amazing 8MP camera etc features which I didn't want to lose. HDMI alone distinguishes the high end expensive devices from the likes of Ray, LWW etc and makes it function like a portable laptop. And for now CM would never be able to rectify those problems as Sony have not released those 'binaries'.

My primary requirements are that everything on the mobile should work with optimum performance. I can leave some performance for a perfectly working ROM. So, since you have tested the ROM's above. Can you suggest me a GB ROM from those that have full functionality with performance. If you would be given a chance to choose one of the above which would it be :) ?

I will try that right-a-way. Thanks for the info. And which ROM are you using?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
The X-Gamer ROM have been wiped from the forum!

I just can't believe it. One of the best GB ROM for Xperia Pro/2011 devices have been removed from the forum. And there seem to be no mirror available as well. Not, only that, 'Atomic GB' the other superb ROM thread have been closed. And I think that it's download links might too be wiped from the forum as well. So, the only active developments for this device are in these 2 ROMS.

Gin2JellyBean v2.4.0: The developer doesn't seem to be too keen to improve the Xperia Pro errors as he doesn't own the device and so he might just concentrate on developing for his base device.

X-stronger-5.0: It's based on the concept of minimal ROM. That means you would need to install other MODS yourself to obtain full functionality. So, it's not a complete ROM by itself!

Situation doesn't look so good for our device development :rolleyes:. I am trying hard to find a download link for the last version of 'X-Gamer' ROM(with beats audio). I don't want to loose the opportunity to test such a good ROM which have been developed for such a long time and have been quite popular.

If any PRO user have this. Then please provide the download link. I might upload that on other sharing sites so that it won't get lost :eek:.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srihari210:
Backlight should not be a problem in any ROM. Anyway, I havent tried Ging2jelly.

Try these apks in system/app folder: Smartslider.apk, or AutoBacklight Keyboard.apk or more apks (I dont remember).

When, FXP was not having Keyboard backlight, These apks helped us. You can always give a try.

Depends

If you just want a super light ROM for gaming just go for any Gingerbread ROM. My favorite used to be X-Gamer but X-Stronger GB and Xperia Slim should also do the trick as X-Gamer seems to be gone.

But I prefer the latest Jelly Bean over everything. Since JB there is Project Butter which makes everything way more snappy. So I recommend unofficial CM10.1 ROM for Legacy Xperias. Since latest update I haven't had any trouble with reboots etc. There is not much Ram especially if you have Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger etc running in the background but when I shut them down I'm able to play NFS Most Wanted lagfree. Nevertheless I have to admit GB ROMs have better battery life since they are not that CPU-intensive.

For multitasking also GB Roms because of the lots of free RAM and for Camera go with anything stock since Sony won't release their libs for camera.

Note: On anything not stock HDMI will not work

I use this Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147958. it's somehow bugfree but really Ram intense.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redhotiron2004:
GB is by far the best for our devices. I don't know why people even consider JB to be better!

It's true that it is better for newer devices with greater ram. But, it's really funny when people compare GB with JB and say that JB is better and more smooth.

Have you tried jin2gb rom or atomic gb on the second place?

Just remove all the working functions such as HDMI, camera etc-2 and you would get even more powerful and smoother gb not to forget better battery life to go with that.

People say that moving on to JB increases compatibility with the newest apps. But, I often see JB users complaining about there camera, hdmi not without, bad quality etc.

What's the use of such an expensive phone when it can not even do the basic tasks that it was designed to do!

If you want proof then just search for samsung note users. They will tell you that gb was actually faster then jb in games. And they really want to achieve gb performance/stability/compatibility on jb(not vice-versa).

I am using jin2sb on my mobile. Converted from UHD by jader. And this gb rom can beat any jb rom on this device without any sweat. And in case you are thinking about functions and ui. I am having all the ui and functionalities from ICS to gb.

I am not missing anything. As gb is not only bugfree unlike ICS, it also have everything working from HDMI to camera to xperia s music player( you name it, and 99% possibility is that I have it on gb) unlike jb.

Just buy a Rs 8k device running jb. That would be better instead of insulting such a costly device by running Jb and depriving it of it's true potential and class.

Don't go for jb just because it have project butter. It's a degrade from Gb rom.Gb is no way slow even without your project butter on our devices.
