Recently there have been some complaints about the FXP team, but did you know you (and I don't mean only Czarnodziej) can contribute to the FXP project too? Not that it is always used as such, but this is a development thread for that purpose after all.

Read here about how to setup your own build environment (it is not difficult) and read here how to propose fixes (it is not difficult).

It is better to have fixes incorporated into FXP, then to have to them floating around everywhere.

As said before the FXP team are just some guys spending their limited free time developing FXP, so lets help them where we can! And don't be afraid that you won't get help to get the job done.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lvints:
I try your fixes in my Mini Pro, and work satisfactorily. Thanks!! ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Czarnodziej:
Thanks for advice.

These aren't exactly "my" fixes. I just collected some hw_config's from different roms based on JB and compared them. Editing config file is no big deal, contrary to messing with source code:)

Besides, ALS is explicitly disabled in FXP CM10 builds (I dont know why). As for proximity sensor fix, its been posted on bugtracker since Aug 11, 2012.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Even when it are not your own fixes or even when there is a bug report you can propose a change. The point is that somebody has to do it. The FXP team cannot do everything alone. And hw_config is also source code ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lazyfai:
That's why I suggested to have a small number of members in here to act as "pioneer tester" to test each FXP ROM before naming it as "144" or "155" or else, maybe test flashing and running for 2-3 days.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Actually everybody can do that. A new release of FXP is just a collection of changes, which you can follow here. So, if you build the ROM yourself, you can test the changes so far.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] raz0r1991:
I agree with lazyfai, every build must be tested before release.... if stills this way, i think FXP will stop because 60% of the people here are not satisfect with this way....

Just a little test before release, just for make sure the kernel is booting..... the rom is at least Opening...... this idiot things, that frustrating a lot when happens (usually happens on every build)

Its like Windows,

Windows Milenium = fail

XP = sucess

Vista = fail

Seven = sucess

8 = fail

9 = probably sucess,

FXP is doing like microsoft.... Just for remenber, android = linux, we cant do that!!!! l

inux = sucess (when tested).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
we are not in any place to demand things.

all fxp thread are tagged as "DEVELOPMENT". development as in experimental build, untested, without any warranty that it'll even boot or make your phone explode and kill you cats. and its unofficial, they do it for free, in their free time. and i doubt the 4-5 people of fxp team had every device that their supported to test their build one by one.

thats why we had cm official site, thats where the more tested and official builds are.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] WanLuc:
Don't matter what you or anyone think about my opinion. I said THAT WAS MY OPINION, i didn't ask others give opinion about mine. That's the reality, if you don't like criticism, don't post anything here. My phone stopped, locked after flashing it. All Right, we don't have officialy JB in 2011's. But if one wants to post a rom here, at least should run in device. This rom (FXP 144) doesn't run in my one. I'm just posting my disappointment. I sincerely hope in other updates, the problems will be fixed.

And please do not use profanity.

wt19i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andro-SYR:
relax guys

just to be clear all this argument is because the last 144 release, it has lags, but it can be fixed,

imagine that FXP skip the 144 build because of the lag thing for our phones then alot of peoples will critics them

when they released it with lag they had been criticized as will!!!

so just be easy on them they're doing their best and remember the last 142 release its stable and allow us to live the daily JB experience with our poor phones.

anyone wanna complain about any of their releases remember that they r doing it for free and nobody forcing u to flash their rom on ur device anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Czarnodziej:
Point is, your opinion is just a bunch of whiny, unconstructive words, worthless to the development team.

Go figure.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Since FXP142 (and now FXP144) FXP team offers us the best JB rom to our 2011 Xperia! :good:

Yet fully functional for daily use, I will not return to ICS :laugh:

The remaining bugs are no longer serious.

JB 4.1.2 gives us ergonomics and superior performance compared to ICS.

​

My AnTuTu benchmark: 1209Mhz / 1612Mhz: 4379 / 5144

FXP144 allows me to resolve my last wifi problems. It is also faster and more responsive.

The last points of improvement, in my opinion, would be:

- one day fm radio working ;)

- on lockscreen: agenda events with multiple rows or scrolling

- still improvement of battery drain (same if now it's acceptable, for me approximately +10% / ICS)

For those who are not happy and don't enjoy yet this rom:

- Respect the volunteer work of the teams

- Accept trial and error (Sony has not released yet Jelly Bean!)

- Learn solidarity and support of a community

- Respect installation tips for clean installation

- If you are not an expert same me, do not multiply patch, tweaks, too many changes (found here and there) that cause conflicts, bugs and often lower performance.

Good day and enjoy!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronaldvalles:
This solution does not work for me in CM10.

Same is slow.

◦ Accelerometer slow (workaround: reset with Advanced Tools)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lazyfai:
That's why I suggest to have a small team of pioneer tester, not FXP team themselves, say, if FXP145 will be released this sunday, FXP should send to that small team who have real devices to test run a few days, 2 or 3 days, to test the basic functions and say Yes it is working, then FXP can upload and declare it as a new release.

Yes this is development thread but major bugs like the unusable FXP 144 by that way. :D Just my 2 cents.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronaldvalles:
if I agree with you, with testers. But the Free Xperia has always done a good job, we should not judge them, plus most of all members of this forum and CM9 forum, not a single dollar donated to judge their work, wait meantime.

Respect Work in progress, if they wanted to build their personal roms, only for them, but always take the job at all,

Buy a Galaxy S3, if wanting Jelly Bean Stable, with no errors,

Sorry for the bad English.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ardian1899:
Some people really need to re-read this again:

They may laugh at you and most of us hope their laugh won't turned to anger as they may stop developing JB. Constructive criticism may needed, but if anybody want to blame someone, you can start by blaming yourself. They're not immune from mistakes, indeed, but you don't pay them either. Flashing ROM on your phone is nothing compared to working around these codes, searching, fixing bugs, compiling, etc. I'm a programmer myself even in a different field, I know it's ain't playing on the beach, therefore I can't accept if somebody is whining on somebody else's free work especially after so long, so many work. Please re-read these disclaimer again. Do yourself a favor, backup your data before risking it.

Have you instal lagfix after installing the ROM? I did it and my phone seems okay.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] WanLuc:
thanks for understanding man :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
I think it is urgent to integrate the lagfix in installation / downloading page of CM10 FXP144...

For critics for nothing and for a majority can quickly and easily enjoy this excellent rom! :D

Reminder:

1. Rom

2. Lagfix

3. Gapps​
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] eltonpestana:
=)

As you may already know Sony will not support JB Device For our line .... You guys can tell me if there is anyway still chances of you correct the most serious bugs with the bug at least the accelerometer. And also I wonder if that CM10 is already filming in HD? I really like to use my phone for games and your photographic camera and camcorder
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] noradoor:
Hey,guys.We are a community and we should respect & support our members & developers.

Anyway,I still look forward to the weekly,or maybe biweekly,release from FXP.:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] scorpion 13:
How can i fix Accelometer Lag???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lazyfai:
It works great after installing lagfix.

Again, if somebody having a device for testing can get the ROM before uploading to public, this can be avoided. :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ardian1899:
I'm afraid you have to wait for the FXP team to fix it..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sebas79:
Do anyone tested if video on mango is working in FXP144?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Czarnodziej:
Hardware accelerated video playback does not cause reboots anymore (FXP 144+lagfix on St15i)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] unforgiven1311:
Same for me, it's working on videos over 5 min without any problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ardian1899:
I no longer use this ROM, but I've test the camera, camcoder and video play, all good.

new gallery and camera from 4.1.2. working on my st15i with stock ics. should work on jb also as op said
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jean001luc:
I understand what you say about battery life not being related to just the ROM but my point is that on ICS (RealICS 6) my battery life is perfect - i can get through almost two days without charging. Yet the same configuration (same apps) only last about 12 hours under this ROM. I'm getting partial wake lock for RILJ which I dont get under RealICS - this means that under JB my phone is never going to sleep.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pingflood:
Gallery working relatively nice on FXP 142, but the camera still bugged. :(

I really miss a good camera like Xperia's stock on FXP.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] diegoxcore12:
gallery editor not working here :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
4.2 camera: compatibility with CM10?

With CM10, gallery.apk includes camera and gallery. Gallery works fine and camera is buggy.

Then we have too in CM10 a LegacyCamera.apk that give us a full working camera.

If I install 4.2 Gallery, I have, same CM10, the new gallery that works fine but 4.2camera is buggy...

Somebody has a solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
ICS camera is light: no red eyes flash, number of scenes,...

ICS camera+ is not very best. It brings fine to settings pictures...

I can advise you 2 applications photo quality.

I'm not talking about those adding effects but purely photography functions.

CameraPro and ProCapture.

Important: CameraPro includes photo and movie features (works fine same HD720)

ProCapture is only photo camera and when you select video, its open video camera include in CM10 (LegacyCamera)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Czarnodziej:
Delete gallery apk.

Install QuickPic

Enjoy fast gallery and working native camera.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paulle:
in opinion quickpic is faster and nicer than gallery, i use the combination of quickpic and legacy camera an i'm highly satisfied.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
You don't understand...

I'll like to use 4.2 camera but on CM10 only LegacyCamera (or third-party applications) works.

4.2 gallery works fine and I don't want to replace it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paulle:
camera and gallery is one package(apk). if it doesn't work you delete it or not.

it's a matter of choice, my choice is quickpic and legacy camera and delete gallery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
not yet.

same goes when trying to upgrade an app.

What if i take a backup with FXP CM10 ? will it erase SD ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
What version of CWM is it using?

the one from FXP131 CM9 was working fine. That was 6.0.1.0 if I remember correctly (6.0.0.8 was the one that was not working).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Adee.roy:
yup its 6.0.1.0.....

AND can you help me with onscreen keyboard ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
I would recommend you to simply turn off the hardware keyboard in the status bar for now, when you need to use the virtual keyboard.

If you can not do that, let me know.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Adee.roy:
I tried switching it off via status bar , bt there's no "select input method" in notification when i type somethin.....i tried to do this from settings also , but no luck....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
If you switch off the hardware keyboard in the status bar, when you want to write, and click on the line once again, will you get the virtual keyboard.

You do not need to change anything (except turning off the hardware keyboard).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Adee.roy:
yeah but....how can i switch it off ?? there's nothing on my notification bar....:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
In the status bar I get a "Choose input method"... click on that and a windows opens.

At the top there is a "Hardware physical keyboard" field, where you can select on/off.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Adee.roy:
i dont get that option....... :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
strange. Try to open the keyboard and close it again. I do not remember if it will only get there if the keyboard has been opened.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Adee.roy:
still nothing..... how did you do it.....???:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usman_fareed:
go to settings>language & input>default and turn off hardware physical keyboard :)

early review and tips

ok guys

i was on rc4.1 ROM and i was closely following CM10 . here is my bits

1 i downloaded mango unofficial zip from the first page

2 i unzipped the file using winrar and extract only one file .img

3 since i was on already cwm ( installed default in RC4.1 ROM) i immediately copied zip file to my sd card and also downloaded and copied gaaps

4 first i installed CM10 and then gaaps and then wiped and then installed .img using fastboot

5 things went fine but i faced 2 problems A onscreen keyboard wasn't working and B Google play store refused to download any thing

6 solutions for the keyboard - go to Menu- Setting- Language and Input- Default- Hardware physical keyboard- Slide it to Off

7for problem of Google Play store I tried many things but nothing worked finally i did installed stock ics rom , then installed kernel ( .img ) first

than in cwm , I installed CM10 then gaaps and then wiped

Now i am happy to report that everything works well,

max player is working indeed good so i am able to watch movies and videos

i couldnt find LG camera, if somebody can upload apk file than thanks in advance

there is a bit lag when u try to wake the phone but it is quite OK since its Alpha Rom . kudos to the whole team .

regards

Ankjain

Please press thanks button if i helped you in any way.:o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Adee.roy:
Sorry hnl_dk for taking your time :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
no problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zephiel:
I installed lgCamera as a replacement for the meantime for the stock camera but after opening

the app after a few seconds maybe around 10~20seconds it will reboot directly to bootanimation.

Anyone having the same problem? I will use this as my daily ROM because my default needs is working. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FruitieX:
Hm I'm still getting crashes on FXP144 when viewing YouTube videos. Other than that this ROM seems fine so far with the lagfix hack...

Edit: Might want to mention this is on mango :)

Edit2: Just watched a 27 minute YouTube video without a crash, maybe yesterday's crash was just a random one. I'm sticking with this ROM. :)

okay problem spotted and a big one.... the touchscreen of my phone becomes unresponsive sometimes...... using fxp142.... it just doesnt register my touch and happens atleast twice a day......

now starting to BUG ME
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cserpentis:
Is there any chance Wifi/USB tether, video playback, FM radion, front camera and stock camera apps being fixed anytime soon? Is it still work in progress or it development only done for new phone models? It's just a little bit of info wouldn't hurt. If we have to wait, we'll wait, but sitting and not knowing whether there even is anything to look forward to is painful.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krump_lee:
+1

not the mention if i buy a brand new phone i do not rush to change the original firmware to an alpha phase rom, why do they prefer to work on the new phones

(i respect the fxp team's work but there are a few thinks i do not understand)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
For people with a slow accelerometer, try this and report if it helps or not:

echo "100" >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input8/bma250_rate

You might want to get the default value before you change this setting with:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/input/input8/bma250_rate

On my Xperia mini pro it is 200.

I am not sure if all devices use a BMA250 chip as accelerometer and if it is always input8. To find the setting you can use this:

find /sys/devices | grep bma
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] simonrussell77:
Hmmm, on the mini, it's 250 without any alterations. To be honest, it's not really all that slow for me. I don't play many games, so probably I wouldn't notice anyways.

I'm using fxp144 plus the lagfix zip alot of people are using ;)

Presuming this "lagfix" doesn't alter anything, then it would seem the mini is 250 by default.

Edit; so I'll set it to 100 using that command, and see how it goes :)

Thanks for the info and possible workaround.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] noradoor:
Thanks,M66B.:good:

I feel that it's getting better now though it's still a little bit slower than CM7.

BTW,my phone is XMP with FXP144 CM9 and I'll try it on CM10 later.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
You can try a lower value, even 10, but this may affect your battery life (although that should be proven or dis-proven in practice).

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

In your case, try the following to see the default value:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/bma250_rate

bma250 is the name of the chip only.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] simonrussell77:
Ah thanks lol. Will check it now

EDIT; correction. My default is 1410, as you can see.

Thanks for that, you learn something new everyday lol.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Okay @M66B, I did the command for my device, and the accelerometer seems a lot better at 100.

I'll play around with it a bit and find my own personal best / favourite level ;)

Thanks again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
1410 seems much too high to me.

There will be update delay of 1410 ms = 1,4s.

That will be slow!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] simonrussell77:
Agreed! But as you can see by my screenshot, 1410 is what it was set at. Why its this high as default on the mini, I don't know?? lol. But setting it to 100 is like having a new phone lmao.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

How would you make this permanent, surviving a reboot? A init.d script?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhh91:
Thanks, that did help!

It's input7 on my Xperia Mini though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Could you post your default value please?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Czarnodziej:
Mini: 200.

FXP144+lagfix.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] simonrussell77:
Okay, I'm mega confused. How is it my default value is 1410 (as you can see by my previous screenshot), yet others are 200?

I've no "tweaks" apart from proximity sensor in hw_config.sh.

I did a clean install of FXP144 and kernel inside the zip, plus latest gaps. I even manually installed all my apps as I only have about 35 in total.

My phone is a Xperia Mini ST15i, and I always wipe data after a rom update. So how can it be that my value is 1410 :(

So is there a way I can manually add a init.d script for the value of 100 to stick after a reboot? As it defaults back to 1410 after a reboot - as you'd expect.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I am still spitting in sources, but the delay seems to be set by the Android system, maybe on behalf of a (misbehaving?) application.

Edit: it seems the default value is set here.
