Fxp please fix cwm..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MarcosCaball:
Fxp-147;

headset on routes with low sound and the sound from the microphone of the headset is also very low
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jerpelea:
this is not an fix is an mess

i will look into the problem asap
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] elspanish88:
Why are people hating on fxp... support has got to end somewhere!

Be grateful for CM10 if it weren't for FxP we'd all be stuck with sonys crap ICS

If your that bothered compile or port 4.2 yourself.

I do get a problem with phone calls on 147 volume goes up and down
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] molnartibor:
I am experiencing a quite huge battery drain in fxp147, loosing 12% battery overnight. I guess the cpu scaling fix rather broke something than.fixing it....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] simono_pl:
@up same problem for me. No 122MHz speed and have more my phone on max speed (9%) on earlier buids I have with my usage 5% on max speed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djsky2011:
we need 3.0 kernel to solve battery issues, the person to port it will be wealthy
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] voyteckst:
Kernel 3.0 or backporting some of it's functionalities...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
I tried fxp cm10 and pac-rom. That time I choosed Pac-rom, because it has lesser bugs and etc. Only HDMI was not working. The first and the second week was amazing, after that I start to have some problems in my camera app, record app and a lot of bugs. I am not arguing, but most of the roms here are buggy and after a few days you will experience any forced close, unfortunately.

I have to say one thing, without a kernel 3.0 all this rom is worthless.

Yes, sad but true.

When we dreamed to JB, the most important feature wasnt the resizable widgets, or the expanded notifications. They are nice, but I can live without it in Sony Stock ICS.

The main reason I seek JB, was Project Butter. To run project butter with triple buffering and v-sync at 60fps, we NEED a 3.0 kernel. Otherwise is useless, all this JB rom. Useless. Sorry to say that, but it is true. I don't wanna see just a Jelly Bean when a hit the config status, just to show my friends that I got the last android, oh.

I really thanks all the devs, that are working to bring JB to our Phones, improving in some way the performance and etc. Really thanks. But I have to say the TRUTH, with no kernel 3.0 is useless. Improved performances you can find in ICS roms stables, many of thouse tweaks and etc. CM9 and many other ICS roms has good overall performance...But JB was important about the smothness improved by Project Butter. If It requires a kernel 3.0, and will be not developed like the FXP team said, all this topic, this discussion, this threads are useless.

Sad, but true.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] adity:
The developers have made jellybean to work on our phones which really is a humongous task in itself.

And I totally agree about the 3.0 kernel thing.

My friends optimus black got a 3.0 kernel and jelly bean really looks different on it even with the same hardware as ours.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] FTW_260:
FXP, can you start open thread to port new 3.0 kernel to our Xperia 2011? Just start, community support!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
They said that will not developer any further kernel, like 3.0, because our phone has two years and it will take at least 6 month to dev it.

Then like I said, if this proceed, all this effort to bring JB for ME, is useless.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cagali:
Nice Information.

Maybe cm10 is not a perfection, not as good as JB w/Kernel 3.0, still it is a good alternative to stock ICS.

There is a 500-point boost in Antutu on neo with cm10 than .587, same clock.

Thanks again FXP team!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Yeah that was indeed a wierd comparison, but I've used AOKP for a month too, and after installing some apps, it get laggy too. On ICS I didn't see any animations at all.

Maybe the linaro tweaks are not allowed in official ROMs, maybe they are not stable enough. If you have root, anyone can use the custom roms with it.

I'm not a developer btw.

New Life for old Phones??????

hello guys,

many people say, fxp or cm give new live for OLD phones.But is this the reality??I my opinion absoltely not,empty words,slow cpu,small ram, there is nothing else as sony,they give us a firmware with many little bugs and large slogans, and another is a rom with many big bugs.A question is allowed,what is a shining F1-Car with a defekt engine???Scrap metal!!What is a Rom for e.g. Neo without HDMI,a buggy camera,bad battery duration etc. and patch,patch,patch,patch.......?!In my opinion the same.A shining skin,but a death heart.Without a new Kernel all projekts will fail and there is only a beautiful dream at the end,nothing more.A correct working kernel is the same as a very good foundation for a new house,is the ground not ok,the whole rest will collapse.And working hdmi has absolutely nothing to do with slow single core cpu,small ram etc,it's a problem with kernel!The same with camera and WIFI.And another point,if I have to buy a new phone,soI can equally wait for Original Firmware with bugs,but is this meaning??I hope no.I hope there is a way for a better rom as sony give us.For a very good rom without big bugs and working HDMI etc. i will pay.And very very important,I think at least that a correct working 4.1 should be possible or not???tIt's very interesting to see,really something going on here.

regards

karl
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Obviously you don't get what development is.

It's not finished, and maybe it'll never be. But it's not meant as a ROM without bugs.Using your car analogy: what do you prefer? A prototype car, straight out of the development center, or a 10 year old but reliable car?

This ROM can become:

a) stable, development finished

b) unstable, development discontinued

Personally, I think it's positive that they don't let this go further than 4.1. No new features means they can spend the time on fixing the bugs.

Also, feel free to help: https://github.com/freexperia
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] FrankBullitt:
If that's so, ask for your money back.

Oh, wait...

Regarding an update for the 4.2, I also think it's a good move to stay put right now. This phone has around 380MB of ram available to run user apps, and those include google now, the heavy maps, the keyboard ime services, etc... As soon as o e installs the Facebook app any 4.1 rom will struggle, kill background apps and offer a slow painful experience for the user. It's not a rom problem, it's a low end, old phone problem.

We should all realizr that with this phone even ICS is a bad option if we're looking for speed and smoothness. What FXP was able to do opened the door for AOKP, AOSP and paranoid roms. It was more than what I expected from this old machine.

I also want to use a smooth voice search, a fluid maps experience, 60fps gaming. What can I do about it? Get a newer phone with more than one 1Ghz cpu and a grand total of 512MB of ram for system+user...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karlchen68:
that's all right,but as i wrote,hdmi has nothing to do with cpu ,ram ,etc,its only a kernel problem,nothing else,like the other hardware bugs.JB4.1 for neo is a very beautiful dream,but without essentiell features (hdmi ,cameraetc.) is this a rom for kids who want to play,not for daily use,and another point,what is old???is 2011 old??It's only ONE year.Where is the sense, every year buy a phone which costs more than 400 dollars?Sorry,I also have other hobbies.

regards

karl
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
One thing:

Nexus S has almost the same specs of our phones.

Nexus S has a kernel 3.0

Nexus S has full project butter working.

My phone is not old enough for Project Butter or a Kernel 3.0.

The only reason: Sony don't wanna do it. FXP don't wanna either.

Simple, like that.

And I will say again, without a kernel 3.0, I prefer a ICS custom or stock rom stable than have underdeveloped JB.

Like I said, I don't care about google now, resizable widges, expanded notifications. It is useless for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karlchen68:
I cant say this not better,thanks. i see it as well,what is important?Google Now??resizable widgets or another stuff?Not only!Its all a shining skin,but it does not matter,as long as hdmi is not working.In my opinion.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] akshayshankar1:
You know,the original galaxy S is getting 4.2 too and it is older than the Neo V. Not saying that I'm not grateful for what FXP has done for us, considering they did it in their free time without any monetary motivation. It'd be great to get 4.2 but I'm thankful for whatever I've gotten till now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] FrankBullitt:
HDMI is not available because Sony never released the libs necessary for developers. You clearly have never tried to make reverse engineering or you wouldn't even mention HDMI in your argument.

Secondly, it's not only a kernel problem. And I'm sorry to bring this up, because I never contributed to the development on the Neo and it will sound a bit like I'm bragging, but I spent some years (my last 4 before 2012, to be precise) of my career working as a Linux(RH and Suse) and Unix (AIX) sysadmin . So yeah, I kind of have an idea of what I'm talking about. An improved kernel would bring better battery life, triple buffering ability and maybe, just maybe, a slightly better ram management. Do you know what was needed for this to happen? Sony. That's what. Sony would have to release the sources for every single module present in our phone. That never happened. Again, clearly you never tried to make any development, or you'd never have brought this up.

Is it possible to make a 3.xx kernel for this phone? Yes. Will it work? Probably. Will it allow HDMI? Never. Is it worth the amount of work needed just to make it boot? Ahahahah... I like to think that FXP members also have a life besides working for free, weeks and weeks, in order to please Neo users with a 3.x kernel that will never be a proper 3.xx kernel. Some of them might even give priority to their families and stuff. How crazy of them...

Finally, yes our phone is old. Sure, it's only 2 years old, but when it came out it was already a mid-level phone. It is now outdated in every hardware aspect (except for the camera which still has one of the best sensors out there). You don't like the way the market moves fast hardware-wise? Cool for you, stick with your nokia 3210.

Nexus S is a google phone. It was designed to get the updates directly from google and not from google+Sony. There's quite a difference there.

It has the same specs as our phone? Really??

You're comparing the MSM8255 Snapdragon with the Scorpio chip to the Cortex A8 Chip?

The PowerVR SGX540 is the same as the Adreno 205?

The 16G of internal storage look the same to you as our 1G splitted into partitions that give 320Mb to /system in the Neo?

Oh, and BTW, it doesn't have HDMI...

Really, people, your point is completely invalid. FXP has made wonders with this phone, for free. Just say thanks or GTFO ffs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karlchen68:
I agree with you and many many thanks fxp team for your hard work, but instead always new roms with the same or other bugs is the better way a new foundation,an this is a new kernel 3 to eliminated all hardware bugs.And as i said,I would also pay for a very good rom and Kernel without big bugs(and not working HDMI is a very big bug not only sice yesterday).Also can a new kernel the battery drain significant reduce,and this is for daily use very important.in my opinion,with a new kernel the battery duration can better than gingerbread versions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Nothing wrong with criticism, as long as it's not: "make this work asap".
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karlchen68:
I admire the work and time that spend fxp developers for the idea,to bringing us a better firmware as a multimilliondollar imperium.thanks again.and my ONE BIG dream for the future is only a fix for hdmi.and dreams can come true.thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Well, you could have used more carefully chosen words imo, but I don't think anyone is really upset about FXP.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
Guys, can you think a little bit before writing all kind of bs? IF SONY NEVER RELEASED AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER RELEASE JB FOR 2011 XPERIA, HOW THE HELL DO YOU WANT A FULLY WORKING JB ROM FROM FXP? I wonder how many of those people who post crap comments have ever tried to compile a rom or to develop an app. If you want a fully functional rom, stay on stock, if not flash any rom you want but don't be an asshole when you are referring to devs. No one is forcing you to flash a custom rom, so stop being hypocrites.

Sent from my MT15i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karlchen68:
if I understand you correctly, customrom must always be worse than the original.than good night,that is not logical and the project would be obsolete.the second point: criticism or question is banned only in a dictatorship

Normal people can not know everything and not everyone is a developer.So please think first and not only offend.please keep ball flat.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
No,i said that when you install a custom rom,and you know that the rom have bugs try not to blame the devs who knows about the bugs,but blame yourself. And I never said that custom roms are worse than the original,this is what you understood.And btw,i was not talking about custom roms based on stock,i was talking about roms like CM.

Sent from my MT15i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] molnartibor:
i dont care about kernel 3.0 i just want the pre-FXP147 battery life back, because the phone is unusable for me like this. with all due respect to the developers, FXP was not able to bring a really working kernel to Neo. CM7 and CM9 all suffered extreme from battery drain, but fortunately there where some, or more precisely there was a third party kernel which could achieve impressive battery life. CM10 until FXP147 was the first kernel with usable battery life, but FXP147 killed it. with that i don't wanna say that FXP is doing a lousy job. i just guess that bringing a working CM to a phone is like 20% about the ROM itself and 80% about the kernel.

like somebody said some posts ago, the Neo is a 2 year old device which was middle class at best at the time of introduction. there are only a few people keeping a phone longer than one year, so i dont think there would be a lot of people left to wait for a polished 3.0 kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
what about Galaxy S FXP team develop kernel 3 for it??

if yes i think Galaxy S have close specifications from xperia neo
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
No components are the same. Same specs =/= same internals
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] _Sparks:
Okay guys lets get this straight. Stop the whining and just let development continue as it is...

Be grateful for what we have, not what we don't have,

Think optimistically, we can hopefully achieve a bug free ROM through continuous improvements which should eradicate all if not most bugs, providing a perfect ROM.

Look at the Arc thread for instance, I dont see any complaints, do you? (Rhetorical Question BTW :p )

Finally the guys at FXP have a life as well, they do this in their FREE TIME for a heck of a lot of devices... If their will is to not upgrade to Android 4.2 because of the extra work load, then so be it. It doesn't matter how easy the upgrade can be implemented.

Now lets stop all this rant and stay on topic...

PS No offence was intended to anyone by no means whatsoever :)

Kind Regards,

_Sparks

That was a great read.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vinhpz0:
No they don't because FXP means Free XPERIA Project

And thanks FXP for their awesome work :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] metacircle:
I am simply happy that I have JB on my Neo V. The only real alternative imo is Stock GB, all other Roms tend to be laggy and slow, especially stock ICS. I will keep my Neo V for another year or so with CM10, then a new phone will be bought. Thank you FXP. Without you I'd be stuck with stock ICS and be frustrated every day.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Goranius:
Hello, and thanks a ton for your free work!

I want to ask you if you can modify the kernel for Neo to add support sd-ext and so to use this partition on the sdcard, like kernel on cm9.

thank you in advanced

FXP team please fix youtube problem and battery drain problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] metacircle:
YouTube should have been fixed in 147 and i imagine that battery drain has also improved.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
no still when watching video on YouTube device reboot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bokagavrilov:
then u havent installed it properly ive watched like 30mins of vids and had 0 reboots
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ciuc007:
Also watched YouTube videos without any problems. Try reinstalling ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
thanks .. but one question can anybody try stop video and play it again and do this more than once and see the device will reboot or not
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bokagavrilov:
Just tried it nothing no reboots even spamming it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
im reflash rom and wipe everything and format cache and system and i try watching video on youtube 20 min the video work 7 min only and then device reboot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
Here the same problem...i've made a clean install,and after 3-4 minutes,phone has rebooted (no other apps installed,latest FXP kernel).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
internet for me slow and when watching video on YouTube the video play and then stop to loading and then play again and video do this more than once playing and stop to loading playing and stop to loading then play then device reboot

sorry for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
You can, but delete first /system/lib folder inside zip. According to original thread egl causes bootloop flashed in Arc, so in Neo sure cause bootloop also. Mount /system partition before flash. Tested only Project-Butter-for-ICS_v1.5-beta1-no-MSAA.zip.

P.D: Sorry for offtopic...

However I don't know how to mount SDcard when I connect it to PC. there is no option like it was before (touch to copy files via usb)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] molnartibor:
update works, however it somehow seems to break SuperUser and it takes some time to fix it. and the battery drain from FXP147 is present as well.... it would be great to fix it, otherwise i will have to move to stock rom ;(

Rear loudspeaker volume seems kind of low. Battery life is great, lost 5% this night with mobile network on. Just waiting for the frontcam fixed in 149
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] miams:
i have lose my network sometimes and i need to restart my phone to get it back

any help ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
Wipe settings or caches.

The wifi bug was killed, it doesn't disconnect when it goes to sleep :)

However battery drain is greater than on stock rom:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1ZKsglImPy3WkEyX1Z5SnNnbFU

Is this due to bad drivers and can't be fixed? Phone does spend most time in deep sleep state but under same usage patterns with stock rom it lasts 2 days or even more (wifi always on).

Is someone on stock rom to provide a screencapture of battery usage? I'm not sure if display and android system was using that much.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fcanmekikoglu:
i do full wipe - dalvik cache wipe- factory wipe before i install the new update pack. is tht right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
Yes, though you can preserve settings most of the time, it's safe to just empty caches.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vicky7180:
battery drain is more...is it normal or its any apps problem...!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gislene01:
I'm having the same problem. This night, it lost more than 20% of battery.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
I lost 5%... :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dugzino:
You guys should check what kind of apps you installed..

Some social website apps may drain lots like Twitter or Viber (just giving 2 examples, there are more than these 2).

I just did 1d 13h, full time Wifi with 26% of the time screen on and still had 45% battery left. Is that ok?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
@dugzino: but I use viber and FB on stock rom also. Not sure, but those 2 apps are not showing up as primary battery drain source.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Really? Deleting my post, that's your way to answer a question?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] simono_pl:
For me also FXP147 and FXP148 consumes more battery compared to FXP146 and an ealier builds.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dugzino:
Well, FB is kinda OK. I remember installing Viber on one of the previous CM10 releases and it really sucked my battery to death and when CM9 was new, I was still using Twitter and it did the same thing.

I guess some official apps are having difficulties with some Android versions or something.. I'm just speculating..

Could you try live without Viber for a day or two to be sure about it not draining? Go for Google+ Messenger or Whatsapp if you really can't live without free texting/calls and you're still willing to try without Viber.

Also Skype drains a lot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] molnartibor:
Unfortunately battery drain is normal, however you can flas the fxp146 kernel which has better battety life
