Hi everyone

Game speed is low. Moves low

And power consumption is high, the setting\battery\android OS

Android OS is the most used programs?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] funiewski:
thx, it works, another small issue, reboot to recovery does not work properly for me, phone starts to reboot but not going through
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
After flashing new kernel i had same issue. But if you once go into recovery, then it works.

Try menu reboot to recovery, press vol down to go into, do nothing, reboot, and try again without pressing volume down. (This helped me, maybe it works by you too)

Apollo music has been updated with some new features and bug fixes.

I tried pushing the apk into system/app with correct permission yet it doesn't appear in notification area.

I guess the one in the rom is a modified one? In this case, how do I make it appear in the latest version? Thanks.

For those who wants to have a try on the update Apollo music, it's attached below. But note that notification doesn't work.

EDIT : Notification works after another reboot. ^^ awesome update

I have a present for you (<3) rotfl

Your Rom is fantastic and and I thought I'd thank you for everything you have done for us...

This is my bootanimation and I hope that everyone will like it

Remember to put it in / system / media, to put the right permissions and reboot!

Hope you like it even if, because of the short time, I could not put more frame and then the result lag a bit xD

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Go to the FAQ thread (in my signature) there is a guide step-by-step.

1. copy rom zip and gapps to sd card.

2. flash baseband (read faq)

3. kernel (inside rom zip) (read faq)

4. flash rom and gapps. (read faq post #2)

I think you need to unlocked your boat loader first. and follow the Wechy FAQ on His Signature
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
I decided to test the build.prop batttery tweaks from Wechy77. I tested them using PACman v18 using the provided kernel using these settings:

cpumin=134

cpumax=1017

gov=smartassV2

Undervolt: 75-125mV per freq step

Google Maps uninstalled

I tested the sleep settings (pm.sleep_mode=1, and ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0) separately from the wifi.supplicant_scan_interval (set to 10, 30, 60, and 180). In my hands I met with mixed success...wifi.supplicant_scan_interval gave me good results but the sleep settings...not so much.

The first screenshot is from toggling the sleep settings...the two long, flat plateaus are plus and minus the sleep build.prop tweaks, you can also see that the phone pretty much woke up only when the screen was on...or for syncing emails. I also checked with cpuspy and the device sleeps really well with out the build.prop tweaks...in a 5 minute test it slept for all of it...excluding the screen time out time.

The second screen shot is from testing the wifi.supplicant_scan_interval....There are 3 regions: 1st is wifi on with no build.prop tweaks, the second is wifi OFF and the third is wifi on + wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=60. I don't see any difference between 60 and 180 but 30 and 10 still have some drain....

There are some specific things about my situation so your results may be different from mine...for example the Mobile Data Network where I am is almost always weak or lost, this is mostly because I live in a border town so the cell phone towers are under powered...so I tend to see a lot of battery drain on 3G/2G...in fact the net.tcp.buffersize.xxxx tweaks have a major affect on my battery drain....

Thanks szil.kiev...this rom is awesome!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
In my hometown is 3g weak and i'm on 2g most of time (i dont know why or just in my country but when my phone goes from 2g to 3g it's good, but when my phone lost 3g signal and goes back to 2g, then for 2-3 seconds my phone "lost signal". I read somethin about that, but i don't remember where). When i'm in work is 3g signal very good. Therefor i use my phone on 2g, and if i want something to download, i disable "only 2g" on quickpanel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Karcha:
I wrote something about that a few pages back. In my house I have weak 3g signal and it's always changing from 3g to 2g and viceversa. It takes a while to change and sometimes it gets stuck with no signal, so I have to put flying mode or reboot the phone.

It's ok for the most part because I use a WiFi / data manager, so if I'm home my phone connects WiFi and disconnects data by itself.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Try with 2g only, like in attached picture.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Karcha:
Yup that's how I have it. The only thing is that when I'm home data is off and when I go out It puts on by itself, but still only 2g to prevent battery drain.

How can this thing be used in our rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1733007 Is anything of this secure to try? Won't anything double?

What can I do for more performance, smooth and battery? :(

EDIT:

szl.kiev: Can GPU drivers (CPU ?) be updated to newest JB? Or they are the newest yet? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Fantomas.:
Apparently szl.kiev has tested all the drivers and he only includes those which deliver the best performance, so don't worry, he does know of them. Don't know about the Prototype Optimization, but in the OP it says it's for GB or ICS only. I used to have this on ICS but it didn't work that well. I recommend you to use Pimp My ROM. It's much better in my opinion. you should give it a try.

:good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] malukiz:
The v18 is based on fxp146 or fxp147 ?

Because the PAC v18 came out before, some improvement from fxp 147 may be missing :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Karcha:
A little question... Are bravia and xloud included in this ROM? Is it safe to install them?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] frenzyboi:
Assuming you're using PMR on this rom, do you face any problem? Few post back someone posted that he used PMR and the battery drain was massive.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Karcha:
I'm using it and I have no problems. In fact, battery life is better with it. I've been using it for the longest, in many ROMs and never had a problem...you just can't install every tweak without knowing what it is, because it will probably cause problems. I recommend doing a backup of your ROM as it is now, install PMR and try different configurations untill you find what works best for you.

Btw, the app itself has an option to download a flashable .zip to remove all the tweaks in case you get stuck in bootloop or something similar.

With that and OC 1,2 / 134 smartassv2 noop the ROM will be a lot smoother ( at least for me ) and the battery lasts for 2 days or so with light use and data/wifi all day.

Or you can get shortcut activities from nova launcher. Its on setting>phone info,

This should work but use at your own risk. I'm not responsible for anything you do to your device. I'm provided this mod for entertainment purposes and have not tested it on every device. Due to this, use this is at your own risk. You agree that whatever happens to your device is on you.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Karcha:
I had the same problem. You have any of your apps on the SD? If so, try not to move the ones that are running on the background. I think that was what made my phone reboot every time.

I created one too.

Enable swap

Updated, See here -> Thread
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Very informative/handy, thanks a lot.

My question though is this: Does freeing RAM do anything except for actually making more RAM available?

I've seen many peeps complain about the amount of free RAM, but I've also seen many peeps saying free RAM is not an issue for Android because it is built to load everything into memory. So, at the end of the day, will more free RAM improve performance? Will SWAP improve performance?

The various times that I've noticed my phone's free RAM it was anything from 150Mb to 0Mb (yes I've had zero RAM and the phone was still working) and I did not notice any performance differences whether free RAM was high or low.

:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ebenezum:
Thanks for helpful tip. Just one note - I'm on PAC17 (clean installation / full wipe) and I can see swap is already activated. So I don't think it will do anything else...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] frenzyboi:
On this line

adb shell 'echo pac.swap.mb=50 >> /system/build.prop'

I got this error.

The system cannot find the path specified.

But the file seemed to be present in the directory. So I've added the values in the file myself. Working. Thanks for this!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daniel.eriksson:
yes, i think this is one of the main reasons why sony is not releasing 4.1.2 for the 2011 xperia range. the base ram needed by os is much higher.

however, looking in Settings , apps, running, i have 45MB free ram, longpress homebutton and it shows 15MB free..

there is an xperia tweak app adding swap aswell. saw little difference in performance though.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Andrev01:
But I read somewhere, that swap may cause damage to SD Card... Is it true?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
The way I understand it, swap is in the /system partition, which is not on the SD card on our Ray
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shardul_seth:
Yes, my script makes swap node in /system, so faster rw than sdcard and no damage to sd.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
If you downloaded latest v18 version then you don't need delete lines. In latest release (and some before) didn't have the lines.

I think you status7 error is beacouse you don't flashed kernel from zip. Or did you?

Please write down step by step what you did, so we can help you was you don't did right.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Chaisen003:
oooh, okey..., so yes i have downloaded v18 , then i get always error status 7

so i just download rom , take it on sd card , have downpatch phone to 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) from 4.0.4 with flashtool, then i install basement 77 with flashtool..

then i have root it(4.0.3) , i dont any know about kernel, so i havent do with him any think- its on 2.6.32.9-perf.

oooh, i have bootloaded it to..

then install recovery app and use it: make backup, then fectory reset, then wipe cashe per*** make, mounts and **** use to format system and then install rom from sd card..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Was you wrote, i think your bootloader is locked. You need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel. (This root method is for locked bootloader)

Can you connect your phone in fastboot mod? (Turn off phone, hold volume up when usb plug in --> The led lights blue)

If yes, then from downloaded rom zip copy out boot.img file and with flashtool flash this kernel via fastboot mod.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Chaisen003:
so i must extract this v18 and take this boot.img out and zip it again without this boot.img , only 2folders ziped and take it to sd card, or take all zip file that i downloaded without changes to sd-card?

and do you mean the boot.img from this zip file, or i must download it from other sources?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shardul_seth:
Could someone pm me PA settings apk? Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Take two zip (rom and gapps) without any modofocation to sd card root.

Don't extract zip!

If you use total commander: go into zip and copy to any folder the boot.img from zip.

You can use 7zip too. Open zip with 7zip and copy boot.img to any folder, where you can find it.

so i have to refrase... bug, sometimes :mad:

but most of the times the clock appears in the rigt corner (and again, sometimes it is as expected, gone).

just put it (with exact name bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ folder - you will need root permission and solid explorer or root explorer to do it)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
If you flashed boot.img (extracted from the szl-urushi_PAC_jb-alpha-v18.0.0.zip file you downloaded) sucessfully in flashtool, your kernel is properly flashed

Now follow the first set of instructions here to the letter (up to step 14)
