Many are arguing

Many argued about why Sony will release JB for Xperia J and not for Xperia U or 2011 Xperias although J has less specs than those phones.

I searched and researched and the main reason is not only commercial, or marketing or sales.

The main task for Sony is the GPU. These phones (2011 and Xperia U) has a stronger GPU that in Jelly Bean ecosystem would take more ram, consuming ram a lot and processing power. Remember that in Jelly Bean we got Project Butter, with V-Sync and Triple Buffering.

It is odd to say that, but because our GPU are better than Xperia J, we will not receive JB. The ram management unfortunately can't handle it well with 512 mb RAM with adreno 205 or Mali 400.

By this reason, decided to stay on ICS. You can look in The Verge and Cnet informations about it. Sony released some libs on 7 of december, but still left the camera and hdmi libs out.

It will take time for them release such libs, for all sadness. But I will give another advice for FXP Team that compile Cm10 on our phones, with a proper editor you could improve our cameras.

Our "warm" photos has one reason, the missed camera libs, and of corse the not properly Exmor Cmos work. The CMOS was developed for low light conditions. This sensor automatically up the camera normal exposure to improve due low light conditions. Because the missing libs, this sensor when flashes in automatic way with led flash produce this purple spectre. Then we switch to daylight to avoid it, because in daylight the CMOS believes that we are in daylight and work with less power.

But we still see warm pictures and many of us need to do some post processing, like automatic in Snapseed or etc, to enhance the balance and correct the warm.

But This, takes time. And sometimes you just wanna show your friend the picture that you took. So what to do?

Some applications, including stock cm10 camera app, has the saturation option to change the values. If you put lower the saturation, it will decrease the exposure and with daylight option it will take a less warm picture, even with flash. But unfortunatelly in all the apps the I Tested you have to change the saturation values everytime that you open the app and reopen it.

But, for those who complain about the photo quality. Here I found the best solution. HERE IT IS.

Camera 360 with a few changes in settings.

Install Camera 360, put in the 6 mp (wide) or 8mp (4:3) resolution. After that, choose to automatically save in 1s. Choose Daylight. After that choose the filter enhance and then choose automatic.

I believe in this way the photos that will take will no warm, will be even better than stock camera, I could say that better than my brother new Iphone 4s.

I hope that help you, like you I love Xperia Neo specially because the photos, but like you too I don't like ICS slowness.

And if I really help anyone. Please hit thanks.

Fortunately I managed to fix the issue.

There's a bug on the CM code...

My phone carrier is Orange Spain... The CM10 autoconfigure three APN's to the mobile with this network: "Orange Internet ES", "Orange World ES" and "Orange MMS ES", and defaults to "Orange Internet ES" APN.

Well, "Orange Internet ES" is an access point that doesn't works with the phone on stand by status. I have checked this with the technical service of the company, and they told me that the correct and default APN is "Orange World ES".

But there is another bug on the APN configuration... "Orange World ES" has a proxy that CM10 autoconfigure with the IP 10.32.61.10, but it's incorrect. The correct one is: 10.132.61.10

Deleting "Orange Internet ES" APN and making "Orange World ES" (with the correct proxy IP) the default APN all is working very well now (also with the phone on stand by status and screen off).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yuxandyou:
No probem for Vodafone ES, once phone starts all data configuration is perfect.

It's only as comparation between operators, because I think isn't a CM issue (but only my thinking)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jlazkano:
With Pepephone (spain) is working too.

Could someone confirm that MMS is working? I can not send photos with MMS.

Best regards.

finally decided to unlock my BL and try CM10 (was on Ultimate HD with locked BL).

I loaded latest nightly, with built in BL (may try Lupus later, but so for it seems ok).

I have one question, I could not find an answer: notification counts (missed calls, sms) do not show on launcher, is there a setting to enable this? or is it missing? and if missing, is it CM10 only or it's the same in CM9?

Thanks for a great ROM!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prakashpun:
Hi,

Try this

Go to Settings ->Select System ->Select Status bar-> then check Show notification count :)

Hope that's what you are looking for.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] feeroz123:
1) Can we simply use the camera app from the Stock ROM?? If yes, can I use it from GB or ICS Stock ROM?

2) Please tell me the app name as well.

3) By using the stock camera app, then my camera can take 5MP pictures and 720p video recording? That would be great !

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunrocks17:
Stock camera doesn't work....2.in cm10 720p video recording is not possible
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yuxandyou:
For me, stock camera works perfectly and I can take images in 8mpx, video record in 480p. I have all stock cm10 but kernel and launcher
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
I tried last cm10 nightly 07 january, with Lupus Kernel and unfortunately on my phone it didn't work well (forced closes, black screen )

The last cm10 nightly worked well with inbuilt kernel, but I don't know, could be placebo or etc, but fxp 201 seems to work better. Drop your impressions here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tuysotheara:
[Request]

I have tried Lupus Kernel so I flashed Lupus Wifi Module. And now I want to stay at CM10 kernel and wifi doesn't work. So could anyone provide me the wifi module of CM10?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sanzNya:
Look at folder on system/lib. There is happen folder called modules. Delete that folder then reboot your device. Wifi will back...

*p.s : do backup on cwm first.just for incase...

best regards

Anyone else experiences high battery drain on 201? It barely lasts a day here, not sure what i've done wrong. The android system is listed on top under battery stats
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bokagavrilov:
android system can be many things usually a reboot helps me that to stop draining (usually it happens to me when i charge it or collect it to my pc) i always reboot it after that
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
Thanks for pointing that out. I changed the weather widget when this happened, but after reverting to old one the drain didn't go away, so maybe this triggered it.

I'm thinking to do a data wipe anyway just to be sure.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunrocks17:
i had asked cosmicDan to make his kernel to support neo v n he asked for "atag" bootloader information can anybody with such knowledge give us atag information

How to change ": - )" key in the keyboard to Enter Key?! :|
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zadrozny91:
For me system takies 5% and screen takes 42%. Check performance settings as the default CPU freq is set to 1,6GHz, which can cause battery drain :) 1,2GHz is enough I think and battery lasts much longer :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] feeroz123:
You must be in Numeric mode. Switch back to Alphabets mode to see Enter key.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
I always back down the frequency - somewhere I've read that 1.4 Ghz is normal for this CPU inside neo V.

I'm always capping it to 1.2 Ghz to be sure.

What is the normal overnight drain? I've never paid attention to those things, but last time it was minimal on latest CM10, I thkin my phone with wifi always on lasted for full 2 days.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] molnartibor:
anybody else having problems with vibration override in profiles? the phones only seems to vibrate based on the setting in sound, but does not seem to react on the setting of the given profile.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
Hello I don't wanna be boring, asking, but there is any enhance for our phone in those releases? Because the changelog only show another phones improvements.

I just wonder if I have to install it, and if I do so ( I am currently in 07 Nightly, what wipes should I do?)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bambotcha:

FXP202 smooth than nightly 20130107 but i use LuPuS kernel with rom because kernel inside zip the cpu frequency with it default set on 1.6
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nv8110:
just set to your desired frequency :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dugzino:
You don't get it, right? Me neither.

People just keep saying same things after every single release.

"New release is smoother/better than previous but, me no use FXP kernel because it has unchangeable 1,6Ghz that is set by default"

Like they were the only ones having access to those releases or something..

Anyway, thanks for letting us know the obvious :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] strucky:
I also wonder which wipes I should perform when I don't indend to do a full wipe.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dugzino:
Usual ones, Cache + Dalvik.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] strucky:
These were the two I was going for. Thanks for reassuring me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
I can even go further, I could see any change of fxp 202 and nightlies 07. They even have the same size (150.91 mb). Could you noticed anything?

The only thing that I could say that nightlies doesnt work well with lupus kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
What gives you this feeling?

I just flashed last nightly using lupus kernel and the phone so far reacts great. All working fine, link2sd with fat32 partition also.

For me the combination nightly lupus gets a recommendation.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
Wait few days more and you will see what I am talking. Black screens on apps, some forced closes and etc. I don't know but inbuilt kernel for nightlies is a little bit smoother and even if 1.6ghz my phone doesn't get hot. Instead using lupus kernel in the same frequency, my phone got really hot.

Anyway. I loved to use last nightly cm10, I love Jelly bean features and improvements. But by some odd reason for some, but for me specially because I love Sony Timescape interface, Bravia Engine and Xloud, I am back to stock firmware with lupus kernel (works very well in stock rom, the lupus kernel for ICS). Some may say that I am crazy going back to Sony firmware, even though I found camera 360 balance for my camera really nice, even that I love the smoothness of JB, I like the Sony's interface, Sony apps, and etc. lol.

I tried several roms, but by some weird reason I always end in Stock Rom. Peharps because I like to show to my friends that I am using a Sony Phone.

Gaming still isn't smooth on my Xperia Neo V.

I overclocked it to the max and cleared all background apps before starting the game

but it stll lags.

I played Subway surfers and Temple Run.

Anyway to improve gaming performance on my phone???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunrocks17:
turn on mobile's wifi or data n then play.....in this same way m playing mc4 butter smooth on UHD2.0.3
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lego232:
It's on but still lags...

Does gaming performances affected by the number of apps on the phone?

I installed quite alot of apps...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunrocks17:
probably.....but if u r in jb then dont expect gaming because rom in itself is struggling for ram

Have you tried this theme? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.sonyuxp
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thx84:
So you would recommend the stock kernel over the lupus one?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
After reinstalling stock rom and then CM10 again with steps in first posts my battery drain went to normal and launcher doesn't have any of those before noticable pauses when entering app menu.

I use stock cm10 kernel, works very well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zadrozny91:
Yeah, I would!!! :)

For me latest nightly from 7.01 or the FXP 202 with inbuilt kernel are so frickin smooth with 1,2GHz :) I had always had lags with lupus kernel. For me only inbuilt kernel :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
Nice....Peharps I will try next time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] venoma333:
I actually found out Lupus was better performance wise. Test both for yourself and see hire how it does for you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] feeroz123:
I am facing a problem. I had many apps installed in SD card. All were running fine untill yesterday.

Yesterday, I Unmounted the SD card and used the card in my GF's mobile (Xperia X8) to take a nandroid backup from CWM (I was actually installing a new ROM in her device from the flash files placed in my card ). Once her mobile was running the new ROM, I plugged in the card back to my Neo V and it got mounted automatically.

Now, on my Neo V, most of the apps installed on SD card are not getting detected. it says "Unfortunately <app name> has stopped". I tried reinstalling some apps, it said it will replace existing installed version! Still I reinstalled MX player atleast and its working fine. But if I do for other app, example Catch, it installs but gives "Unfortunately Catch has stopped" when I try to synch data from Catch account. Many other apps (like XDA app, ngPay, Titanium Backup, Office Suite, Opera Mini, Unit converter etc.) are facing the same issue of not getting detected. Also, note that these undetectable apps are now not displayed in App Drawer and Dock.

If there is a easy way to restore things back to normal, I will be grateful and happy to do it. Else I am planning to move to latest version of FXP.

ROM - FXP152 CM10

Kernel - Lupus

Hi. Have you found answer for this question? Does Neo V also get updated ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Langes:
If you have a nandroid backup of just before you introduced the foreign SD, restore it. Otherwise it's wipe and do all from scratch.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] feeroz123:
No nandroid backup of my phone before Unmounting it. And its not a foreign SD card. Its the same card I have been using. Just switched to X8 for some work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Langes:
Sorry, yeah, you introduced your card to a foreign phone. Same result though, the other phone broke your links to your SD.

Next time, make a backup of your SD before putting it in another phone and restore said backup before putting your SD back into the original phone. It would also be safer to leave your own phone off when the SD is not inside it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] feeroz123:
Alright. Point noted. Thank You.

So no other easy way, than flash ROM again and start from scratch? I would love to have a clean setup after complete new flash. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
For me,Bravia Engine would be enough,this is the only thing that keeps me not to use CM roms,because i'm using it laot for watchimg youtube videos,and without BE,the videos are horrible,especially if they are in 360 or 480p.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunrocks17:
for me BE,timscape,stock camera(impossible thx 2 sony)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
I don't need pushed colours and sharpness.

I used cm10 nightly for 4 days now and can confirm that the kernel coming with cm10 works great.

No fc while watching videos or navigation.

I had installed FXP with Lupus Kernel for 3 days and my experience is a lot of lag in some apps, including basic games as "TriPeaks", and now I installed this night the January 13th Nightly with original kernel (only for try it, I love Lupus Kernel governors and Schedulers) and all seems right at the moment.

As remark, I can say that the best at the moment was FXP152 with Lupus Kernel, I don't know why later releases give my device less performance, Antutu gave me the following results:

FXP152 / jan 13 NIGHTLY

CPU 1921 / 1991

GPU 2582 / 2090

RAM 931 / 1012

I/O 733 / 554

I don't know if are relevant that results but I post it as reference help.

Any case it's a awesome ROM and I use it daily. Thanks!!!!!!

We have to say that last CM10 Nightly go a step further of other past releases

They implemented a native pixel for our phone.

This is awesome. One of the things that we always got the sensation it was the pixels size in our phone.

Here is the support and the changelog.

WE REALLY TO SAY THANKS TO CM and FXP TEAM for That. Really improve my view.

So I recommend everybody the last Cm10.

Guys,

I have neo v and had installed fxp150 last month and now want to update to the latest CM.

I have a basic doubt... as per what i understand fxp releases and CM nightlies has to be same since the developer team is fxp only..but i see differences in change logs in both the versions..can anyone shed some light on it?

I am confused whether to use nightly or fxp release.. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Langes:
Nightlies are more for testers, you would do better to flash the weekly FXP releases.

-nightlies have the absolute latest changes to the project, therefore could have unexpected bugs because these changes have not necessarily been tested fully

-weekly FXP releases have all the fully tested latest changes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Msonata:
Isn't the fix referring to ST-Ericsson? Neo runs on a Qualcomm SoC (MSM8255), as opposed to Xperia P and U that use ST-Ericsson tech (Novathor U8500). So does it affect our phone?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jerasimo:
FXP or NIGHTLY

Should I use FXP202 or NIGHTLY20130113 on my NEO V? And what Kernel?

Consider PERFORMANCE, STABILITY, BATTERY LIFE.

You would have got your answer had you read the post just a page back.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jerasimo:
I guess you used your brain to write this reply.....

Commme oooonn...........

Why should everybody say something, when has nothing to say!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
The best answer for your question is try yourself.

I like nightlies, but I used to love fxp. Any of these roms are quite similar. You should test. Look to me I love Sony Stock Rom, but I give a shot (this the tenth shot) for the new nightly. Because I love Sony Rom, Love BE, LOVE XLOUD, LOVE STOCK CAMERA.

But after a few days I miss the smoothness.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcusasdrubal:
here is my benchmark ( I don't like junk bench tests, but I will show)

Here is my phone with the last Nightly , no changes in frequency or schedulers or governors.

I use in 1600 mhz, my phone doesn't get hot when I use the inbuilt kernel. Lupus kernel it works like furnace. So inbuilt kernel for better results in nightlies, at least for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jerasimo:
Have you tried pac-man kernel?

With an old fxp yes. But for these new releases no.

Some confessions

Some confessions:

I tried and loved the Cm10 nightly, faster, clean and nice. But I tried several ICS and JB roms, and I always ended the day envying my brother Iphone 4. Why?

Because all the apps are smooth. Yesterday I saw he is playing Temple Run, no lag at all.

Why? All the ICS and JB roms, I always got a lag playing this game. I always got a small lag. It is like the engine and gpu doesn't work well. All the Games or even some apps, I got that small stop, little choking on my phone.

Will I always have such issue? Even more than 6290 points in Antutu? Always have shame to show my brother phone because my phone has such choking? It is a problem of android? There is any alternative to help that? Go Back to GB?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunrocks17:
bro tats the reason y apple is among bestsellers till now with even a small screen
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gLitch_xix:
It's because temple run was made for iphone then ported to Android. It uses some weird stuff not compatible to android. (I read stuff about it somewhere. :))

Ask yourself why you didn't (or will not ,ever. :)) buy an iphone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] simosm:
is there a way to keep some hacks across releases?

to explain, I am using 2 hacks, the button backlight dim and the USB mass storage enable. But every time I upgrade CM10, I need to implement them again. I do not want to just overwrite files since they may have changes in new versions....

Any ideas?

BTW, what is the reason USB mass storage is not in CM10 by default? it is there both in AOKP and Paranoid...
