Hi guys,

I just have a couple of question...

A month ago I sold my sgs2 and bought the xperia s...it was quite a quick thing, so I didn't search too much for pros and cons of this phone...anyway I bought my xperia s for two main reason (i was tired about exynos' closed and undocumented drivers):

a) I had read that it had been in the aosp project

b) I remembered that when CM10 M1 went out, it was available for xperia s too

Now: I was stupid because I didn't even check get.cm for the last time before buying it, but I was quite surprised when I saw that there was no cm10 roms at all for nozomi on get.cm...not even M1...

Could someone explain to me what is happening?

1) do I remember well? was CM10 M1 available for xperia s? if yes, was it stable? and where is it now? why isn't there CM10 M2?

2) how much "free" is our phone

now

and how much

will be

? I mean, is sony really trying to get aosp working on our device? and why is it so difficult? can't they simply share with us everything they know?

3) why do we need to wait them to release jelly bean to get some things working (e.g. 1080 recording)? With sgs2, we need to wait official releases because drivers aren't well documented (and obviously not open source) so we need to wait for linux kernel sources (which they are

obliged

to publish, thanks to god, [or, better, thanks to Linus and Stallman ;) ])...or, at least, this is what I understood...

4) I can't understand how much are the (great) freexperia team and cyanogenmod "connected"...I mean: is the official support of xperia s by cyanogenmod someway conditional on freexperia work? Because on the cm9 thread they write: "ENJOY AN

UNOFFICIAL

CM9 RELEASE BROUGHT TO YOU BY FreeXperia Team"

When I bought this phone I was hoping to finally have a well working AOSP based rom (i.e. cyanogenmod)...but unfortunately this is not the case (even with cm9, which I am currently using)...anyway congratulations and thanks to freexperia team! obviously :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
Freexperia team is officially maintaining cm for sony devices.

Cm10 is not named after the official numbers, but after fxp builds. For example the fxp 151 release of cm10 is cm10 m2.

They just dont upload them to the cm site. I dont know why.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] korg91:
Ok thanks. Waiting for other answers :)

Oh, I noticed I was not clear enough here:

...but if I understand well, this is not the case of xperia s, because qualcomm chips have good documentation and sony is helping when asked...so...why are there still problems with drivers? (maybe you got it already, but I am not a developer :) )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriz78:
I havre a seroius problem ,i have flashed cm10 rom on my xperia s and on my wifes phoone. Now booth phones havre the same

Wifi macadress, and my router goes crazy....

Is it really possible to change mac adress?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adbanginwar:
a. It is part of AOSP but AOSP is currently infantile.

b. FXP creates and maintains CM10 for xperia series. the updates are not available on cm updater because i think the ROMs are not hosted on CM site.

1. Currently FX151-152 is out and it is very stable release give or take one/two bugs because of drivers i assume.

2. Sony supports open source and they have helped to an extent to the FXP. however, Sony is currently developing 4.1 for xperia series, once it is out FXP may use those drivers. i assume sony do not have JB drivers ready yet.

3. Drivers. i guess the binaries are compiled with ICS. they need to recompiled/modified with JB. we also got new kernel in FXP 151 too.

4. FXP officially maintains CM releases for Sony mobiles. currently if you check, CM9.1 is available on CM updater, i guess FXP uploads their releases to CM when they are official and stable enough.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Well, qualcomm is not too bad but there are plenty of areas with proprietary firmwares and closed source with their socs:

- GPU driver

- Audio

- Power management

- Baseband/ril

Just take a look at nozomi device source in CM, there is a proprietary-files.txt file that lists all the files that we don't have source code for, it's 150 files. And qualcomm is more in direction of closing than opening.

As far as I know, a truly open source platform doesn't exist. TI omap was quite open, but there again, gpu was closed, baseband was closed.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Can you define what you mean by not well working about the latest FXP releases, both CM9 and CM10? Most bugs have been squashed as far as I can tell, the roms work pretty much as expected of AOSP roms. There are a few features missing, FM Radio is left out by design, is the same on all phones, 1080p recording would be nice but I bet this is not the only phone where this is disabled. Keep in mind that it's thanks to Sony that there even is a working camera on CM10 (there were a few attempts before but those weren't very functional). They're working on other phones first so it's probably too much to expect them to have a perfect camera lib ready for Xperia S. Another fix from Sony has been the in-call audio that was very low on CM10 (well it was on all roms really). The official 2.55 firmware update fixed that.

My experience with CM so far has been that there always are a few quirks but you get "early" access to new Android versions. I would personally never use CM9.1 because the official Sony roms adds a few handy features.

About CM10 M1 and M2 not being there, what use would that be? You can just get the latest from FreeXperia's page. All the changelogs specify they use the latest CM is used, so it's not that you're lagging behind in features. The only reason I could imagine is bragging rights is that you have an official CM rom, but it's a custom rom, what can be official about that? :p

This isn't the right place to ask for that, the keyboard is installed with gapps and that isn't even provided by FXP. But the Android 4.2 keyboard has Swype-like input, so with a bit of patience you'll be able to install that in CM10.1 when it arrives. Or you can just get Android 4.2 gapps ported for Android 4.1. Find them in the ParanoidAndroid or PACrom threads.

Sony has released 4.1 JB for xperia T which has same qualcomm board as Xperia S. i guess in next update we get new drivers and this may fix camera recording and low audio bugs. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] twk99:
That would be great!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Demetris:
Xperia T is in no way same board as S. T=S4 S=S3

Besides not being the same platform, Sony has officially announced that JB for S will take some more months. Don't expect anything soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] korg91:
I can't understand why it is such a difficult

and long

work...I also use Ubuntu on my PC. Every 6 months, a new release of Ubuntu is out, and it (usually) works on EVERY computer which was supported in previous versions AND on many new models. Now, what is the difference between Android and Ubuntu (or Linux in general)? Is it so difficult for manufacturers to write drivers

for their own hardware

? Ubuntu works on thousands of very different kinds of hardware...the total number of android devices is much lower...

I tell you again: I am not a developer (at the moment), so I don't know very well how technical things work...Anyway, maybe we are going OT...so, if someone is able to answer this questions maybe it would be better to open a new thread, maybe in Android general...

Awesome. That's the way things should go.

At the moment, on CM9.1 fxp149 (full wipe from stock) I have this problems:

- quite frequent full system crashes: the screen becomes sort of grey and the only thing I can do is force the shut down (power + vol+)...it looks like a kernel panic, but I am not sure...I have been using cm9.1 fxp149 (full wipe from stock) for about a month and this happened to me 10-15 times. It happened also during the first 2 days, when the system was very clean. Didn't happen on stock. I must confess: I did not send any bug report (also because I thought it was a known issue).

- cm9.1 is not so fast...considered the xperia s and the sgs2 hardware, and the fact we have "more open" driver, it should be at least as fast as on the sgs2...but I'm pretty sure it is not...for example, it seems to lag (at least a bit) very often when I open the app drawer (I use the default cm9.1 launcher)

- I couldn't try usb data transfer on the stock rom (I can't get mtp on ubuntu working), so I don't know if it is a cm9.1 related issue...anyway, with the usb cable (no MTP), on ubuntu I can't get a faster speed than 1 MB/sec (write speed). Quite annoying. I'll try on other OS, also with MTP...

Anyway, I will try cm10 very soon...then I will tell you...

Well, first: I didn't know that freexperia is the official team for cm on xperia phones :D And although we are speaking about custom roms, there is a difference between an official cyanogenmod team and an external developer...at least for me ;)

Second: M builds shouldn't be just the last nightly...they should be sort-of-stable builds compared to nightlies...so they are quite useful if you want to try the next cm release but you also need a phone that is quite reliable...

Thank you very much for your answers

a question i have been asking for a while now.. why doesnt this jb rom have the same ui options of cm9 ics rom? its strange that its newer but have less choices.. like the transition effects .. i cant remember what else.. but for now why isnt this present?

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

with all due respect sir i have used cm9.1 since 135 till 150 and ur problems of full system crash have never occured to me and i find it smoother and faster than any other rom.. the only reason for me to stay on the stock based/stock roms is that they look better and with better widgets and ui.. it might be and error with the hardware of ur sxs because i dont think many have faced the problems u talk about.. i may be right or wrong i dont know.. but thats my guess! :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jazz Like That:
Yup. For me too updating the app solved the problem :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
Updating the app through play store should have solved the problem? If so, I might just install cm10 again. Maybe when FXP131 is released
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elvirag:
No, updating the binaries in the superuser itself. When you open one of them, it says binaries update is available. You click continue, and then it bugs you some more, and then you only have to click once for permissions.

I really know what it is you are talking about, had to reinstall apps from titanium, and clicked it like 10 times for one app.

Dunno what made me go to super user, I guess I wanted to see if it even registered there. It did, so I went to the other one and it asked me to update binaries, so I politely agreed. So I guess my pure logic helped me solve it, it wasn't a coincidence, it's only logical to go check superuser if it gives you trouble. So let that be a lesson to you: don't give up, think logically to solve problems... ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Originalas:
Yes, same here, so I though maybe I haven't checked something... Hope it will be an easy fix then. :)

If not, is CM9?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Originalas:
I use Nokia Lumia as my daily phone and CM10 is just for playing around with Android. Camera, microphone and some apps doesn't work at all, notification light is bugged. Though calls and data, wifi works. So it depends how much you need from your phone... :)

CM9 works fine, but it's soooo SLOW.

i have cm 9 and it s aalot faster then ics stock
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] noob.fl:
cm9 works fine, absolut ready for daily use (a bit lot of Batter drain)

cm10 is at the moment a bit to buggy (my opinion) for daily use, because, cam and Headphones workes not fine and Calls only with the work arround... cant wait for next releases because the basic JB features works god ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elvirag:
For me the camera works fine, you just can't see pics, you can only see the result. The keyboard is annoying, too harsh and no swipe... How I missed the sliding feeling...

Also, the earphones work fine, you just need to allow permissions on the audio.policy file.

Simple and short answer: commercial purposes.

try use Nova kernel. I too only got 12 hours, but with 3G only and extensive use (bout 3–4 hours screen time). I don't think the fxp kernel is a battery drainer, there must be something wrong, with your.
