Bluetooth working confirmed

But video recording not working & camera buggy sometime

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tanmays:
I confirm that. You need to disable hardware overlays to stop hot boot.

if 200 is too dim you can increase up to 900. find the brightness you want. Use 1 to disable completely

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Zdune has given the fix in the opening post. CHECK!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ZduneX25:
Yes i did and personally am using 450 instead of 1 effect is just perfect ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
What type of partition are you using?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] eu8umhc:
Thanks guys for the help!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
sound is very low when talking with someone and speaker is very very low
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Same here. In call volume was better in nightly 2. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xferianeov:
Even I noticed the same...

sent from my Xperia smartphone!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tanmays:
It looks like low in-call volume is an issue with recent JB builds. I experienced it with FXP133 and now on Polishblood N3.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bambotcha:
Mike said something recently about using CM10 audio drivers or something maybe thats why the problem exists on both ROMs

I think either mike or FXP will find a solution soon
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Boodzis:
The CWM menu is really messed up. It blinks from one side to another when clicked something.

Ok now Google play fixed itself but cant install anything now also. Shows cant install to usb storage or Sd card. Home screen is really slow.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sucharz:
I have the same problem with CWM :-/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
This ROM is based on CM10 by FXP, guys. in cm10, audio drivers are reported problem, it will be fixed with time.

Bugs persisting in this ROM will be there in CM10 as well, so, Keep an eye on both Polishblood and the CM10 threads before reporting :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xferianeov:
know wat ur doing

google play has no issues, u should try clearing data from settings->apps->google play

Every one will laugh at this point "Home screen is really slow." :p, becuase this is best and the smoothest rom ever made for neo v

guyz please do some research and know what your are installing on your phone...

CWM problem: This is a known bug right since the JB development started for neo v
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
What is the file type of the second partition? ext4?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] juninromualdo:
Second partition on ext3
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rakmth:
Use fat32 as your second partition. Works fine for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
I don't think the issue is with play store you can't install apk files.

Everything was fine and then suddenly I also started getting this error.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikegapinski:
even this error is up on galaxys3 samsung Jelly rom. I still don't know what stands for it, nobody does
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Furthermore the issue seems to be there for some particular apps, the other apps work fine. Install perfectly normally.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leajian:
It's Jelly Bean issue, it's related with DRM keys of some apps.

Read this:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...n-the-play-store-google-disables-drm-for-now/

EDIT: Why not maintain the ICS AOSP too? It was awesome and today it can be perfect... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Exactly what i was saying for a loooooong time. Agree and hooah :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikegapinski:
I left ICS becouse JellyBean in 3-4 weeks will be in a same state :) It is not such a big jump like from gb to ics
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leon22heart:
totally agree . perfect ics aosp a dream come true
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
in Nightly4 In call volume will fix it??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leajian:
Hmm... I see, I know ICS and JB are a little step way from each other.

But.. Even if you are right, we have ICS kernels, but not JB ones and that makes me skeptical... Will JB sail easy enough as it should on a kernel boat like ICS? For me, that's why ICS should be maintained, besides it can be rock stable, RAM-free and hell fast with today's events, I mean, we have a stable CM9 with even more free RAM aclaimed, I can't even imagine how a stock AOSP ICS experience will be. I may ask much when I want to have ICS and JB AOSP available for Neo (V), but that's what I would like to see and I wanted to share with you all what I think of it. :fingers-crossed:

Only when you stop spamming for it. :eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] waterballoon:
I'm desperate to try your ROM but your download site for the ROM is horrible... kept telling my IP address has reached the limit and I need to try a few hours later... a few hours! :eek: are there any mirrors? :(

GPS Issue

The GPS takes a hell lot of time to lock. Anyone with the same issue?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
early days man give them time

same as above
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Try this,

Go to Settings > Developer Options > Tick Disable HW Overlays.

Should work fine after that.

You have to do this after every reboot as it doesnt stay disabled after a reboot. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] umargillen:
Bugs....

In call volume is very low.

Apps are not moving to sd card.

camera is not working. (I tried both camera apps, one is saying "Unfortunately camera has stoped working and other one is "Unfortunately gallery has stoped").

Any help? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Please check the thread for all the bugs before posting.

Low In-call volume and apps not moving to sd are well known bugs, the devs would fix them with time.

For moving apps, use Link2sd, that seems to work. Make the second partition as FAT32 or ext2.

Try clearing data for the camera and the gallery app and reboot. Out of the 2 camera apps, one would not have proper preview, the other one works fine, except gallery integration is an issue there. Use the second app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] demolatorul:
Why is so silence here?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Hot boots for me when I try to forget a WiFi network. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] giorgos21:
my camera doesn't work...it's like when tv hasn't good signal.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Use the other camera app
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nv8110:
old known bug .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
Fix for low volume issue

1) Go to /system/lib/hw/audio_policy.msm7x30.so

2) Make a backup copy of the .so file

3) Delete it

4) Reboot

If you loose all sound notifications, move the backup copy back to the same directory, Reboot.

And In-call volume is just as before

all credits go to bulook00 in the aokpjb thread and to bambotcha for pointing it out in the cm10 thread.

There is a problem with the working camera application.The one application is not working,but the other that working after some seconds of use,restarts the phone!:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nv8110:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] specialistas4:
Not working either. I would be waiting for working camera and i will flash this rom again because it so good. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Boodzis:
Can I install the previos ICS Rom. I forgot to backup and stuck with this useless and buggy rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] venoma333:
I have it in a package somewhere, but I'll only post it if Mike agrees.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] archijit:

cannt say useless or buggy.

TRansition fro GB to JB

Hi People,

I have stock GB installed 4.0.2.A.62 and want to install this rom. I downloaded this and tried to install as per steps given in first post. But it stuck in boot loop, Sony logo comes and it boots several times. Do i Need to install Stock ICS before proceed?

I Downloaded ROM from first post and extracted Boot.img, Then I Installed Boot.img with FastBoot command. It showed me FreeXperia Logo and wnt to Recovery, In recovery I installed Rom zip from which I extracted Boot.img, and installed Gapps from first post.

After doing all this I only gets Sony logo and phone restarted several times. Pls Help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] partner22:
Did you clear data/cache? Is your bootloader open (unlocked) ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] smartdevs:
Yes

Yes, I have unlocked bootloader and wiped data/cache after installing Boot.img
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fr33styl3r7:
fastboot flash flash boot.img

Notice the 2nd flash there. If you only provide one then it hotboots the kernel. Think of booting your pc through a live cd (linux distro for example), it only works for one time. After you remove the CD you boot back to your installed OS. In this case sony GB stock kernel, which is not compatible with this rom.

Furthermore i strongly recommend to flash the whole stock ICS first (links here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678690) to get the latest baseband 72 so that the rom works. Alternative you can try to to flash baseband only.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] demolatorul:
Try to install original ics stock mainly for the baseband,you are doing the right steps, should work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhilesh7:
SONY splash screen implies you are still on the stock kernel. Try flashing the kernel provided with the ROM once again. You should get a FreeXperia Splash Screen and a boot animation saying Android (and not Xperia)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karthicvkn:
Successfully installed this ROM, Thanks "ZduneX25" for your great work.

Everything fine except Camera, when i try to take a shoot phone gets restated. I need to install latest updated. I am from india i can't download thru my mobile. Can you please help to download latest updated ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlueSharky:
Okay, so I installed this Kernel + ROM yesterday. (Took me an hour to figure out how to get the adb and fastboot drivers working in Windows 8). My experience of this ROM has been pretty great so far, slick and smooth. The keyboard is amazingly awesome, my typing speed has increased, with MUCH less typos. Though changing the words in the dictionary needs some getting used to. However, I noticed a few bugs/yet to be implemented features (several have already been mentioned, but some have not been mentioned so far in the thread) :

1. The first bug I noticed was that in the custom cwm recovery, while navigating up/down, the screen blinks back and forth (gets out of position).

2. When the screen times out and turns off, while in some app, if you press the Home button, it wakes the display AND minimizes the app, instead of only waking the display.

3. The app drawer does not have an option to sort according to personal preference, it's ONLY alphabetical.

4. Well known camera issues. I installed a third party camera app, Pudding Camera. This app makes the phone reboot.

5. GPS takes a bit of time, about 30 seconds to get a lock.

6. High battery drain, using kernel provided with the zip. I'm not using the Xneo kernel because I run down the phone battery a lot of times, and have to charge a lot of times when it's powered off (completely drained). Can't have to deal with bootloops everytime.*******

Edit : Tested again : --> 7 hours at night while sleeping with Wifi ON - 100% to 94%, 6% battery drain.

Maybe the first night had a higher drain because it was syncing and updating stuff, etc******

7. Gives an error while moving apps to SD card by default. Need to use third party apps like link2sd, etc.

8. Sometimes apps don't download from the play store. Stuck on the connecting bar. After cancelling and redownloading, the download icon comes in the notification bar and the download starts. *----- Not sure if my connection is acting up or it's a ROM glitch, someone confirm please. ----*

Edit:

9. The brightness is WAY too high, even on minimum. It hurts my eyes at night.

Haven't tested other things like bluetooth, wifi, voice, calls, etc. Will edit the post when I detect other issues.

Once again, really amazing ROM, and I hope the devs continue to update it.

PS : I'm in India, and I see that OTA servers are not present for Asia, so how do I manually download and install updates?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shadowdevil:
Great review buddy..! useful...:)

Hi guys,

I'm new on xperia world, i've got a Neo V in official rom ICS 4.0.4 baseband 72 et build 4.1.B.0.431

I would like to install this rom, how can I do ? is it :

1 - unlock bootlader

2 - install custom kernel

3 - flash the rom

Is it ok ? if yes which kernel can I use ?

I was on HTC before with a tattoo rooted and CM7 but I saw that for sony the installation is more complicated

Thank a lot for your help ;)

Nico
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] raven09:
@nick

Here's the concept:

1. Unlock your bootloader.

2. Download and install flashtool and its drivers. (Refer to guides)

3. Download the ROM.

4. Open the ROM and extract the boot.img and place it on your desktop or somewhere.

5. Place the ROM in your sd card.

6. Turn off your phone.

7. Open flashtool.

8. Connect your phone in flash mode. (Menu button then plug in to your computer)

9. Flash the boot.img.

10. Reboot your phone.

11. Press the volume down button as many times until you see CWM.

12 Flash the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nick85180:
thanks a lot it's clear ... I think :D

what about kernel ? it's integrated in the rom ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
Kernel is boot.img that raven09 mentioned. In Sony phones isn't "integrated" into rom like in Samsung or HTC, must be installed separately.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nick85180:
yes, ok thanks a lot ;) and what's the name of this kernel ? I saw different name for kernels

For this rom all is working ? including Internet Connection Sharing ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] raven09:
The rom has its own kernel and its inside the ROM. Download the ROM and open it with winrar youll see boot.img. use that and dont use any other kernel or it wont work especially JB has only one kernel at the present moment. Btw, this is a dev section, many might upset so please refer to this thread, it is made to answer questions,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409269
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nick85180:
thanks a lot, very good link ;)

and for the rom all is working ?

I'll stop my questions after :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] raven09:
The most direct answer really is, Its still in ALPHA stage bro ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nick85180:
yes of course ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bambotcha:
This is the fastest and most complete rom now on the forums

extremely great work by Zdune and Mike !!! The ROM is really Amazing

Thanks for your work

Can anyone tell me how to install amarullza ad2sdx on this ROM ??

i had another ROM which had this option pre installed and i really liked it but i dont know how to get it manually on this ROM

Much appreciated
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ZduneX25:
@szymko1995 I suggest to you to read OP more carefully man ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gjole86:
@ZduneX25, damn nice proof :D

what kernel u use the one included in the rom's zip file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ZduneX25:
@Gjole86 heheheh ;) yeah of course, one and only correct kernel with this rom is the one from zip
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gjole86:
reflashed all from begining wiping all stuff 3 (three) damn times. now it works fine ... wonder what went wrong in first place. since recovery is in boot.img and i used the one and only :) how can u do that wrong ... is it even possible :) anyways :cool::cool::cool:

Im so satisfied from this rom it deserves to stay as main rom (aka: link in signature for more marketing stuff)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BitEE:
Feels very fast and stable so far.. Nice work!!

Now i need to see how good deep sleep is working tonight..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shadowdevil:
This is called pure and raw performance of ICS..!:)

Trust me u can surely feel the difference...OMG..

Hats off to the creators of the wonderful rom..!:cool:

Sony come and have a look..how ICS handle memory..:p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ZduneX25:
@Gjole86 impossible, but **** happens :p glad it finally works for you :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] talhah sabri:
anyone have the problem with app that restore from titanium backup??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
They are already installed ;)

Well, what can I say, looks like it's random problem.

As soon as my phone charges up, will try to flash kernel again, don't wanna flash entire rom again, and I guess it's related to kernel only :)

Interesting is that with hotbooting(fastboot boot recovery.img) recovery kernel which is floating around, mount USB storage is working, so I believe it's not problem in drivers.

Anw, will try to flash kernel again, and edit my post ;)

EDIT:didn't reflash anything and it works :)

Problem is I tried mount USB storage right after flashing kernel, didn't let it boot once, so I guess something needed to extract from kernel to system, or maybe I'm talking nonsense(since I'm not kernel dev) and maybe my PC just needed a restart lol :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ZduneX25:
@Madfysh the other guy reinstalled whole rom and usb mount in recovery started to work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Yup, I read that ;)

I just hope that won't be necessary :) beside, we will know if it's due to kernel or due to rom ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gjole86:
if anyone cares about that :) its faster then a stock GB
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Plain and simply said: THE best rom out there!

Only my heart stops on that message about sim network unlock code, but cancel and all good, but you already said you will look into that so i can rest, LOL...

Battery i never even look at that screen, dont know why i did now, but :-)

I was also about to write that Sony should take a look at this and see the performance, ram, space, everything, just fantastic!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leajian:
Don't worry about network unlock. It is useful for locked sim cards.

I feel like I want to donate this team, for first release it is the dominating performance stable and smoth latest android pure ROM ever! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

It's like my phone is brand new and it serves me as it should. Sticking to this forever!!!!!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
I completely agree with you :D :cool:

One more thing, has anyone tried or what do you suggest about option Force GPU rendering, on or off?!?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] klaku007:
Do games like GTA 3 work fine on this ICS ? On stock ICS gta 3 is't working very good and at the end it freez phone. I want to know do games work as fine like on GB ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ayfon:
Hi, its really simple and fast thanks, but i have a problem i need sim toolkit, how can i add this. please help.

You are welcome to try ;)

Some more simple games are working great! That i tried, and also you have seen benchmark results few posts back, so... :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] piku2008:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Suarezian:
Please fix hdmi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
I think you should stop spamming threads with such bs

Please learn about what your asking before asking

HDMI is only avalabile in a stock ROM at present

This is not a stock rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] devrruti:
I would love to know what stops us from having hdmi working. Drivers? Closed sources? Why is it such an issue? Do you think we will get it soon?... Please enlighten us or link to some info, I can't use custom roms because I need this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shadowdevil:
Bro Sony didn't released the source for HDMI yet so that developers can't port it..so please be patient..!

Developers are not magicians HDMI to work in non-stock based custom roms without getting sources..!
