I see your frustration, and as a fellow frustrated user, my advice is to just install OpenSEMC and try to live with its current issues for now. The last time I tried to discuss this situation with FXP team in the same lines as you, I got stomped by the m*ds: all my posts as well as FXP's related to the discussion were deleted, the discussion was hence cut short and I got told by the m*ds to shut up and go away, fascist-style, no rights to reply, and since FXP didn't complain or PMed me to conclude the ongoing discussion, they didn't seem to mind that action either. So, really, complaining here won't help, it's just not a friendly place for this kind of discussion, as civil as it may be, and FXP doesn't seem to care. So I've installed OpenSEMC and so should you - that will at least send a message, even if silent, to whom your support goes to. Put your money where your mouth is ;)

He pushed it to his repo, but it doesn't seem to have been merged to the main OpenSEMC repos yet. And since RaymanFX has already said he isn't going to touch OpenSEMC before the 3.4 kernel is working on EOS, then we've still some more waiting ahead... But it looks like he's close, so I'd risk guessing maybe a little less than a month... But that's *my personal guess*, so don't tell Rayman I've sent you ;) It's all up to him really.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] awolbriggy:
In fairness to FXP, they support a lot of devices, and do weekly builds for all of them...

Everything is as clear and systematic in their approach and webpage as we could expect for such a wide range of service from volunteers....

We do not need the developers manning the help desk, the other users are usually able to provide good assistance for anyone struggling with their ROM. This is a community (sometimes rude but mostly nice like any community), and everyone supports each other to get the best result...

The devs who you praise for their responsiveness should be praised - but remember

- they use FXP work (and vice versa) when appropriate

- few support this range of devices with this frequency of update (I suspect none really).

- everything provided here is a gift and a bonus, extending our device and giving us more choice, so pick and choose, support and help, but please do not "complain"

when you are given a gift, you do not have to like, or even use it, but you can not in fairness complain....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] morvaeldd:
I'm on stock JB, but I have similar problem as someone755. I was considering switching to FXP rom (I enjoyed CM on my Galaxy S some time ago), but now I see the issue may remain. Does this rom have it's own radio drivers or it will just use what is on the phone (as was with Samsung)? My 2G data connection stops working, even though the icon E remains, as apps go crazy (especially Maps) thinking they have data connection, when they don't, draining the battery in the process. For me switching to 3G and back to 2G helps, but first I must be aware that the connection isn't working anymore, and it takes time to notice that. I was hoping FXP won't have this problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
I agree, and I respect them for doing all that.

I know it isn't easy supporting all those devices, but a bit more openness wouldn't hurt. Wait, what did I just say, 'wouldn't hurt'? It would help them, as there would be more contact between those who develop and those who use the developed.

I would use Rayman's 10.1, but it drains far too much battery on my phone...

[MENTION=2605674]morvaeldd[/MENTION]

That doesn't sound like my issue at all. My signal just drops completely, no calls, sms, nothing. And two reboots are required to get it back.

Then again, your issue sounds way worse!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jerpelea:
hy all

most development is done now on tamsui/montblanc boards triing to align them on cm10

after this will be completed we will start fuji evaluation

we know that everybody is impatient bu since there was no progress on fuji there is now news

we are too fiew and there are too many devices so we have to fix the oldest and drop support for them

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G.Trenchev:
Are you going to make CM10.1 for the nozomi ?FXP does best:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
See, that's what I'm talking about! :D

And [MENTION=3624962]G.Trenchev[/MENTION];

Yes, after somebody fixes the bugs in Sony's source code. We wait for that and a nice 3.4 kernel build. Then, the FXP magic happens! ^^
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cronot:
Bravo!

You see, as [MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION] just said, that's what we were talking about: letting us know what's going on, what are your plans. No one (or at least not me) was asking for a timetable, we just wanted to hear *anything* from you. Was it really that hard? Did it really take so much of your time?

And I still posit that you should have an area on your website for news so that this sort of thing can be more centrally broadcasted, because I can assure you will still be asked about this many times over elsewhere - having this sort of thing posted on a website gives you a good excuse to not have to answer questions that have been answered elsewhere.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
About that, I'm sure there'd be a lot of people that would be happy to help; either with editing the website or helping you develop. After all, isn't XDA a developer-oriented community? That way, more people could learn and help you thus reducing the work you guys have to do. Plus, being part of the great FXP project isn't a small deal at all ;)

Just a little nudge back to the topic;

Today, I played the game Fractal on my phone (I bought the Humble Bundle (which is awesome :D)).

After 3 or 4 minutes, the phone became REALLY hot, and the mobile radio refused to work at all! Had to turn it off and wait for it to cool down, then I booted it back and the radio works. My question is; why? The game isn't CPU or GPU intensive, why would my Nozomi do that?

Maybe it's just because it's 35°C outside?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G.Trenchev:
Maybe graphics are too easy for the platform,and it fills too many frames.Should have some limit though...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Well they aren't that easy when looked at, just some 2d hexagonal shapes sliding across the screen...

Then again, it might either be the phone's hardware, the game glitching or the outside temperature...

Meh, I guess it's time to tweak the system again :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
I'm not getting the battery display when the phone is off and charging. Also, I can't install Youtube, eventhough I've installed gapps. I can't even find it on the Play Store.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] frikakwa:
There is no battery display with CM when charging (this is a Sony feature!): there is only the battery icon turning around on the top!

Youtube not available in the Goole Play is maybe due to the country you're living in: if you had it before, go to "my apps", swype to the right for accessing "All" and scroll down to find it! This should still appear in this menu!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
I used cm9 and it had a giant battery displaying whenever the phone was off and charging.

For some reason Youtube is installed now...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
What about the camera features that are going to be added for xz's cm...? ? Will it be there for Xs as well?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
o.O What camera features?

Also, will we ever get a port of photosphere?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/06/2...oming-to-cyanogenmod-10-1-sony-xperia-builds/

Photosphere gapps are there... I had tried it in cm10... Not all that useful for me...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Well photosphere always crashes on me. I've tried at least a dozen of them.

But these features would be nice. HDR with the current 4.2 camera takes 10 seconds and the photos are blurry as hell. But for all I care, we don't need those. There are great third-party apps for HDR photos and great photosphere-like apps (or something similar).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LucidSomnia:
Is there a way to make physical camera button work?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Szatyor:
What do you mean? The camera button works perfectly for me with FXP 224.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
It doesn't work when the screen is off.

One quick question: Does Cyanogenmod change the stock MAC address?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Szatyor:
So you think for the Sony's Fast Capture feature. Because this one is not work really.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Didn't they say they're considering whether to update the Nozomi? Or was that the dream I had last night...

Having memory issues in mah brain right now, don't kill me if I say something out of this world :P

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, they said a page back that battery will be added.

So yeah, they're working on it :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LucidSomnia:
Oh, I remember in previous releases that it was not working. That was almost a.deal breaker for me. Does focus work too?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schickel:
MAC address is not from stock. But you can change it manually. Go to /system/etc/wifi/calibrate and there is MAC configured. Change it with wlan off. I also must change it,because in my office I have a MAC address filter for wlan.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
Is it possible to make the camera button open a different camera app?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apis10:
I think you can clear defaults in camera app under settings/apps
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] frikakwa:
If I'm right, you can do it by using Camera Zoom FX. In the settings you can map the physical button for it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
Actually you can't... :/

I'm not using Camera Zoom Fx though. It has to be system related, the one I'm using doesn't have that option.

Why does this rom has such bad battery life :(

I tried slimbean, and it has GREAT batterylife!

Today i pulled it off the charger at 9AM, came home around 5PM, was at 20% :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Stick to slimbean so :/

There are so many people crying out there for their problems that i have lost count
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ultimo1337:
Lol no, i was just pointing out, that it is possible with an AOSP kinda rom.

I dont know if its the kernel, or the base at all?

But why is this rom so battery unfriendly?

And no im not on 3g all the day.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] WildBit:
Try rebooting into recovery, fix permissions and boot into system. Charge 100% and monitor how it goes... Did you do a fullwipe coming from another rom? Highly advisable ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ultimo1337:
Yeah i always do that. (no upgrades, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system + clean install rom , gapps, novakernel)

I did a wipe battery stats one time after i went 100%.

And fixxed permissions aswell.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G.Trenchev:
It's not the rom, Google Maps freaked up again.This rom has the best battery life.

FXP226 released
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sp4rrow:
Will you ever add any updates/features to xperia s? It look like fxp stopped real development for SXS and you only incororate new versions of cm. Many other (J,P,U,Sola,GO, T, V, Tip,, Miro, E, ZL, TX) models receive new features and bugfixes and Xperia S has none of them since fxp214(!). Maybe it`s time to let this model go and leave it as legacy device...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Damn

When people will stop to spam?

Cm10.1 for xperia s will come, maybe not tomorrow but it will

They only have other priority atm

You just need to wait and read what fxp team occasionally says
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] memphis77:
Read the statement oft FXP a couple posts before. In that they eyplain it.

They first do the old ones and will drop them then. After that they'll go ahead with fuji. So before complaining read first!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sp4rrow:
OK, my bad. I was confused by the info from the project homepage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
[MENTION=2376943]ultimo1337[/MENTION]

I'd blame the bad battery life on the nova kernel. Development has stopped a long time ago and it's not optimized for, well, anything.

I recommend you use whatever kernel comes with the ROM (except for stock), because those are the ones that are meant to work with the software and are optimized for it -- bringing you good performance and battery life.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] N.Y.Gazz:
we do not all have the same opinion! As for me, I'm gone (slimbean) because the battery was very bad for me! I'm on the (fxp225) with the kernel (nova7 oc), and I think the battery is fine! This is my personal opinion!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] N.Y.Gazz:
[MENTION=4900593]mirhl[/MENTION],Yes, it is true that it is very old! it is a habit that whenever I installed this kernel! For the rest, I'll follow your advice! thank you!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stavca:
yes, the development was stopped a long time ago, but the kernel version is I think 3.0.66 so there is no significant difference in versions between NK and kernel included in FXP ROMs and I have good battery life even I have it OCed to 1728MHz all the time and also both cores are online, in ANTUTU I have about 9500 points and this is a similar result to ROMs based on stock JB FW with custom kernels like Trinity's, DOOM's or Ferrari's which are now in version 3.4+

so I am the one who would recommend this kernel :) Hei did a really good job on that
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ultimo1337:
Gonna give it a try without nova kernel idd, thx all for the support.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
[MENTION=4793711]stavca[/MENTION]

There are some very significant differences between the FXP and NOVA kernels. Optimizations, updates and so on. The fact that one can be overclocked does not make one better. The fact that one is more optimized and updated does, however.

Just saw this; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1782243 ... So you're saying you people push your phones way up to 9000? (You're mad, I tell you! MAD! ;) )

Also, overclocking is gonna damage your CPU.

Also also, why would you ever need that extra 200 Mhz IRL? Gaming? Please, overheating and destroying the battery!? Phone calls? Clearer voices or something? Showing off in front of noobs who can't overclock their phones...? Kinda agree with the last one, but still. The simple answer is never.

My advice (and always will be); stick to what comes with the ROM, especially if it's the more updated kernel available. If you have a tablet or anything else that's more powerful (but still mobile), do gaming on that. Use your phone for calls, SMS and simple games (and the occasional flashing and developing). Don't go all "NOVA3 for 5 hours" on it. :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stavca:
well, belive it or not, phone is faster when OCed ;) even when running apps and doing "normal" things :) and also has a thermal protection so don't worry about damaging it ;)

you can have your opinion but don't try to say people how to use their devices like what they should do with them and what not, I don't have tablet so I play on mobile

NK was made for FXP ROM so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be optimized, but agree, it's a long time when it was updated

and the last thing, Android is best because of it's possibilities, you can do almost everything and change almost everything so if there is a possibility to do something and some people want it, why would you take this possibility off?? there are other operating systems doing this :)

aaaaaaand the last thing, now for sure :D Xperia S is running on 1,5GHz as default but you probably heard about Xperia SL with the same HW but running on 1,7GHz as default :) so once again, don't worry, OCing won't harm your phone if you use common sense ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guidoido004:
the man got a point, i agree and will defend this with him, because it is the simple thuth, also, i always hear people talking that has the phone OCed since the OC itself is available,( almost 2 years, hehe) and thanks to the thermal management, in case of overheating, the kernel auto reduce the clock speed. and not just with the xperia s, but also with the Arc, Play, even with my old phone, the Atrix.

this OC is harmfull story is like saying the battery can get "addicted" over the time, theres a explanation for that and it is nothing like what (dumb) people usually say about it. ;D

my friend, who was afraid of OCing, after learning about it, found that if you know how to safely use it, it will only bring vantages for you. so, once more, OC reality wins over old fashioned rumors. lets stop this, and get back on topic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

why only xperia phones based in novathor are getting the good stuff while the xperia s looks like abandoned by the project devs? :'(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Because sony released jelly bean for novathor devices a month before than for fuji devices

So they are focusing their work on that

Cm10.1 for our phone will come
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
[MENTION=4793711]stavca[/MENTION]

Me use something with common sense? LOL :P

But you can damage the thermal protection (with a lot of heat), leaving everything unprotected. Be careful (your nervous system doesn't detect heat if heated gradually, like a phone's battery would). During gaming or even quick benchmarking, the battery can even get above 60°C, melting plastic and burning your hand if left there for long periods of time. Believe me, I've seen this (even on some of my own devices (thank god for warranty)). It's not a pretty site when you go to a hospital and tell them that you got a high-degree burn from a phone.

And if those 200 MHz really make a difference IRL, when was the last time you used Greenify or the 'Optimize DB' command from the SDmaid app or cleaned your Dalvik and Cache? I can run my phone down to a single GHz and nothing changes, at least not for what I'd use every day. The benchmarks do show a lot less, but that isn't anything I see in everyday life.

I'm not convincing you how to use your phone, I'm just trying to be of help and advise you. Be cautious. :D

Though I'll always recommend anything over Nova :P

hey peepz.

care to share the links?

SD maid and it's optimizing DB cmd using once in 2-3 weeks and dalvik and cache cleared every week because of newer FXP build ;) also apks zipaligned, partitions remounted with noatime and noadirtime, SD cache size changed and so on...I am trying to get the most from my phone :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ZACHARiAS_:
well it's pretty soon to give a thorough evaluation of the rom, other than:

1) battery life is way 2 poor. but i still have my phone with new rom for less than 24hrs so ill give it a go for more 3-4 days to see how it handles in "normal" usage.

2) seems pretty damn fluid e fast. no suttering or lag whatsoever.

3) a bug (one may call it so) is the sensor (?) when im caling someone the sensor is suppose to deactivate the screen and you have it on your ear. and when it's not, it should activate it. well seldomly, it does not activate it. i need to push the power button to do so.

overall clearly much better tha it was say 15 versions ago, or so.

keep up da good work fellas.
