But you can make an app that woult pass the marketplace controls, just like whats app, that now drains our batterys fast with wifi turned on, because it uses a new background streaming agent or so. But this only possible with at least the tango-8773-update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
I dont think whatsapp is the same. the latest whatsapp uses a background agent which is allowed to run only max 15 mins.

So its still within the rules
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] NeuroXT:
I'm pretty sure this is the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tooly26:
no man...this is a other app....

Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jimski:
Nope. The app in Marketplace (Keep Alive) is from Windows Phone Hacker. Now the other app, Active WiFi, not sure.

In any case though, I worry about any app that "requires" a background agent to run. Or, "requires" the app to stay open in the background. Or, "requires" a stream to be maintained to a remote server.

iHeartRadio, the first app to be found that worked to maintain persistent WIFi (always connected with the phone sleeping or awake), does not require a Background Task, does not require the app to stay open, and does not require a stream a constant steam. No idea how it works, but it does.

Note that the first time you open iHeartRadio opens, it will trun on a Background Task, but you can close it and tell it not to turn on again. You don't need it for persistent WiFi. Simply open the app, select a station and let it play for a few seconds, then pause the music. Not sure if this part is necessary, but I usually go back to the Start screen for a few more seconds and then use the Back key to return to iHeart Radio. I then back out of (close) the app. After that WiFi will stay on as long as you stay within range of the WiFi Router. You can watch videos on your device or listen to music using Zune, which effectively closes/changes the steam originally created by iHeartRadio (in your volume control) and persistent WiFi will remain active. Not sure what happens if you stream music from another source.

Using iHeartRadio in controlled tests, keeping persistent WiFi on, I found that I actually saved some battery power vs. having WiFi turn on/off. Why? Your Data radio uses very little power when your phone is in sleep mode. When the Data radio needs to turn on for email syncing, push notifications or background task requirements, it needs to ramp back up, transfer the data, and then go back into a low power state. This happens constantly while your phone is off. If you use LTE or have a poor Data connection, that could be a lot of power. With you WiFi radio on persistently, especially if you have a reasonably good WiFi connection, you actually use less power, and as a plus, no Data usage, so it helps with those limited Data plans. A win-win all around. Except for the theiving Carriers of course.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] silentg:
installed onto my omnia 7 with custom rom and ended up uninstalling as it kept rebooting my phone grrrrr

btw why can i not find iHeartradio anywhere????
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jimski:
From what I have read iHeartRadio is not available in all regions. That's sad really, as it works so well in keeping your WiFi alive, without a background agent, without running behind a lock screen, and without draining any of your battery. If you pin a channel (any channel) to your start screen, you can lock WiFi on with two clicks.

Maybe someone can figure out why this app works in keeping WiFi locked on. BTW, works the same before and after the Mango update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheXev:
Perhaps this policy unlocker v2 for WP7 Root Tool's that Heathcliff74 is working on is the solution to this applications problems?

Maybe if you use his SDK, you can make your application stay resistant (meaning it won't shutdown after so many other apps are run), and then it will always keep the wi-fi on? Just an idea.

Dear all,

since I'm new, I'm not allowed to post questions in this AOKP 8.2 SE thread.

At first of all: I really love this AOKP Ice Cold Sandwich

I have a question regarding the custom Navigation Bar feature for

AOKP 8.2 Ice Cold Sandwich Summer Edition

for HTC Desire HD.

I can't find the menu item Navigation Bar.

2nd Question is:

Where do I get these lovely weather widget and date wigdet?

I searched the market for a long time but didn't find these widgets.

Could anyone please tell me the names of the widgets and how to enable missing menu item Navigation Bar for HTC Desire HD?

I did a complete wipe before installing AOKP 8.2 SE.

Can I have screenshot from actual Ray?

Used on galaxy note, awesome rom - but not sure want it on my ray the screen is tiny already :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
i'm setting up it now...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
:rolleyes:

screenshots added :-D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
Sorry mate, i don't like the dimension of text in some part, for the rest all works for me.

Tx for sharing :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Its OK but there are options to change density of near enough everything. Also change font size. Thanks for trying mate
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
I've tryied, but in some parts of the rom the font size remain unchanged...

Can be my mistake for sure :good:

I'm sorry because the rom look good :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ChaosFirZen:
Try to changed manually at pad.prop ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
for now i'm coming back to fxp128 :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Its OK I have edited it and now going to post it to 1st page. The density is set perfect now.

Quick Fix for perfect screen density

Download attachment, extract then push to /system and set permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot

EDIT: updated
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psp1987:
i will try it later after the bugs are being fixed:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] h20ray:
this is great ROM..

unfortunately, camera doesnt work.. :-s
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
It does work kind of. Once it freezes, press home button then go on camera again then it will take pictures and not freeze. But unfortunately you have to do it every time you finished taking pictures.:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Really Good for port version #1!!!!! The patch for pad.prop is a brilliant touch.

The camera bugs shouldn't be that hard to fix....(easy for me to say anyway!)

Camera-ICS from the play store is working with out the FC problem of the on

board camera.

There is also an issue with the camcorder but that can be fixed by flashing the camera fix from mchj: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27248035&postcount=240
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foggyflute:
need a surgery to replace my thumb with a smaller one here.

and I was though my hand are small.

Great rom :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Issue with the camera freezing is totally minor. I was able to fix it by reinstalling the camera from a TB back up (app + data)....pretty sure the restored camera is coming from ChampionSwimmers AOKP Build40....so probably something got corrupted during the port or maybe the camera in the port is not completely compatible with the ray.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rushland:
impossible if this rom not work on Xperia Ray, because i'm still use this PA 1.4.1 on my Ray

what kernel that u use ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] benosedr:
Paranid rom

Not work for my Xperia Ray.. Maybe Kernel is wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
What happens? I need more detail.

What are your installation process?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
It's pretty good to read the actual instructions :o

Just got bootlooped but no wonder why when the kernel is zipped as well as the actual rom.zip "doh"

Sent from my Paranoid :eek: SGS2

Thanks *boy*racer*
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djocqer:
camera quality

the camera quality is so poor compared to Stock ROM camera

is there any way to improve it ?

sorry for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Unfortunately not. Its due to cm9 :( hopefully when we get JB I will base it on that and maybe the camera will be a bit better?

I tried to port 1.6a to our ray but it kept on bootlooping when it makes that little vibrate before it goes into setup wizard. I tried to read the logcat but it through so many errors. I will try again over the week and see if I can get it to boot. Then maybe it will be better :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cubeever:
I must do only the wipes in cwm, and not format system etc.?

Sorry but i'm a newbie :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
only format the system and full wipes is you are coming from another rom and not Paranoid Android.

but if you are updating the rom from say "V1.4 to V1.4.1" then no, no need to format, only wipe cache partitions and dalvik.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cubeever:
ur rom is good, but my my home wifi can't make a stable connection with my ray with android 4.

I've tested every android 4 rom, but the wifi doesn't work at android 4 roms.

on android 2.3.4 it's stable and works great.

Any solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djocqer:
i think it's not a big problem anymore since so many camera application on market.

now i face a new problem :laugh: sometimes the font did not display properly, like "screwed up".

here i provided the screenshot

sorry for my bad english :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xmasp:
It's SE problem with some routers. Try to change encryption on the router to WEP. You can find more info bo googling.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cubeever:
But WEP isn't a good protection.

It's too uncertain.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Well now I managed to port paranoid android v1.9.2a to jelly bean so it won't have that effect anymore:) I still need to fix a few things before release and when CM10 fixes major bugs in their from too. Oh and it runs so much smoother.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Paranoid Jellybeans will be awesome....as far as I can tell the major problem with FXPs CM10 release is the camera preview bug....oh and it still has the graphics glitch in recovery!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Yep, also GSM data for me. I need that mostly. There is so many new features to this new paranoid android. As you now have phablet mode and other modes. Didn't test it all fully as its real late here and I got work in the morn:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
In case you are still awake or wake up early.....FXP has released CM10 for the Ray. Almost everything is working (including GSM), FXP released it as a release candidate (RC0).....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Nice... will download it later and I will go from there ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xmasp:
Yes, you are right. But try it first, if it´s your case. It could be also other think. If it´s the case, you can try also to upgrade the firmware of your router or you can use alternative firmware as me (http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index).

If you change to WEP and the problem persist, you have to look other way.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
OK so pa 1.9.2 was bad. I have now ported the latest 1.9.5 version and will upload it either today or tomorrow.

It has CM10 bugs also storage settings not working ATM.

Will fix these when I get more time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Did you try Sirkay's newest JB kernel....I think he fixed a lot of the sdcard issues....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
No i haven't tried it yet. maybe someone else can test it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK 1st post updated!!!!

Dont forget to flash new boot.img inside .zip if comming from another rom other than JB

EDIT: just tried szl.Kiev jb ROM as base and its so smooth. Waiting for permission to use his ROM :) then I will update it again
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] weedpuff:
me retarded
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xmasp:
Hi, I tried to flash your rome with Syrkay´s kernel, but I did not arrived to finish install, as it was asking for my PIN. When I put it in, it told me that it´s not a correct one. Strange is also, that I have PIN protection disabled and with other roms I never had this problem.

So, it´s booting with Syrkays JB 1.0.1 kernel, but I don´t know if its working :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Yeah just click on dismiss. I need to figure out how to turn that off.

Thanks for letting me know
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
Hey BR, i managed to flash your rom with sirkays jb kernel and gapps from the fxp post.

All seems to be working ok except it thinks my sd card is borked (could well be as i have to flash roms with a diff card as it won't mount in cwm).

one thing i would say is that if you want to use sirkays, remember to put the extra wifi modules on your sdcard before you start flashing. don't know why but usb debugging seems to be disabled and i get errors when connecting my phone to win7 laptop. had to remove the sdcard and stick the modules on with a card reader and then boot into cwm to stick it on :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Just flashed v1.9.5a so far really nice. I am not having any issue with sdcard even mounting in Recovery....check to see if you have these directories: /sdcard and /mnt. If you don't see them use root explorer or terminal to add them.

I also found a JB launcher that has the google search bar removed...it also seems smoother than the CM10 one (might just be wishful thinking)...

you can down load it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741038 it is a flashable zip....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
Looks like my sdcard was knackered, put another one in a it's all good. Only prob now is i can't connect phone to laptop but i've already posted that in the general q&a thread, think BR said it was a bug in his rom though. Aside from that, very happy indeed, top work peeps :D

With regards to launcher, google play synced my apps down and bought my copy of Apex Pro with it which is running fine and dandy. when i got titanium installed i restored the data and have it set up as I did in ICS (i like 5 columns)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
So can you click on storage settings OK? Or do you get an error? What kernel you using?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
While using Sirkay's current kernel, phone recognises data on my sd card. Just tried in settings a second ago and first time i clicked storage, i got 2 lots of internal and sdcard. clicking on either took me back to home screen. now whenever i click storage in settings i just get pinged back to homescreen. no force close error messages, but Apex miight be suppressing those i guess
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Its true....Storage in settings is fried.....but there is no issue accessing the sdcard by anything I have tried....even app2sd is working. App monitor also works, which gives some idea of the storage space in different partitions. I did notice that there isn't a whole lot of free space in the system

partition (type free in terminal)...I have started deleting system apps I don't need: Apollo, live wallpaper picker, movie studio, news & weather, cm wallpapers....that doubles the free size to about 30Mb....

I am using sirkay's jb v1.0.1 + his wifi modules. This ROM is wicked fast....can't wait to see it if you get permission to use szl's as a base....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Right, again the problem with storage settings lay inside framework-res.apk again. I compared storage_list.XML and it was different. So I changed it but the problem is still there.

I know its framework related as used original CM10 jb framework-res and the setting works fine.

Damn this will take a while to figure out :(

and yeah I also hope he reads his pm and gives me his permission. I never felt a ROM so smooth. The animations are like silk ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manishsingh:
This is THE FASTEST rom I have run on my Ray. Excellent port boy racer, and thank you for sharing it. I have installed it using the kernel that came with the ROM and have not encountered any bug or FC as yet.

Update: I encountered a bug which has been mentioned above i.e. unable to connect my Ray (SD Card) to my computer. I tried both available options i.e. MTP and PTP. Will continue testing and will report back in case I encounter another bug.

Update: Torch is also not working.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xmasp:
For torch, just edit hw-config.sh

Add "#" before "echo 1290..." and then reboot. Flash and torch will work then.

The fm radio still works my friend? I wait for a stable version with no bugs then I'll flash your rom! Great bro!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
No FM radio yet mate. Not until FXP implement it into their ROM. I have now fixed the mass storage problem. :)

Just need to fix USB tethering within framework. But when I recompile it, there is no change when I push it into system:( maybe someone can have a go if I tell them what to change? I'll keep working on it though

EDIT: there is a work around by using easytether from play store. but still need to sort it out within the framework-res :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
I can't guarantee that I will actually BE able to make the changes, but I will give it a go.....please please don't say java -jar baksmail.jar.....:p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
haha thanks mate. dont worry its only in framework-res.apk. no .jar files. i once had a go with baksmalli (a bit compicated but i just managed to do it) but couldnt smalli again though.

.ok if you can decompile framework-res.apk go to /res/values/arrays.xml.

.Open with notepad++ and go to line 478 & change to usb0

.Then go to line 481 and change to wlan1

.Recompile and test.

like this:

<string-array name="config_tether_usb_regexs">

<item>usb0</item>

</string-array>

<string-array name="config_tether_wifi_regexs">

<item>wlan1</item>

EDIT: aggrh i have browsed through my modified framwork-res.apk with root explorer and the changes are there, but dosnt seem to be the problem this time. thanks anyway justmpm
