[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Hi guys, been testing with the new suggestions on CPU and GPU rendering, to me "disable HW overlaping" decreases performance when used together with "force GPU rendering", so for now i'm keeping that option disabled.

I experienced battery drain for the first time, it consumed 30% in just under 10 hours overnight :mad: , found out that Chris's Omega Clock widget is very cool but very hungry on power so... bye bye to that one. Also i suspect that using the "ultra brightness" option increases battery drain exponentially.

As for apps, Sygic GPS Navigator does not work properly on this Rom, it turns on the GPS but the screen remains black all the time. For Portuguese X8 owners (like me), i reccomend tmNdrive, it's free, the portuguese map is free, does not require internet connection to work just like Sygic, and it's quite fast.

One more thing, i like the Trebuchet Launcher, but it feels a little heavy on the system, what would be a good alternative? Go Launcher is cool but heavy too, and ADW is too outdated... any suggestions?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] NeveHanter:
I suggest Holo Launcher or Apex Launcher from market :) But Holo is the best for me :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Apex Launcher
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Just installed Apex Launcher, it's very fast and lightweight, i converted it to system app and unisntalled Trebuchet.

nAa, if you don't mind making a suggestion, this would be a better option for the default launcher IMO, it's even smaller than Trebuchet (i just liberated about 6mb of space in the system folder), more functional, and faster. It's just an opinion, keep up the good work! :victory:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ngoralph:
question, why does minicm7 uses adw :p lol
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] khestrell:
I think there is no point in asking things what you can do for yourself. Let the devs focus on developing
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I agree with you, but i only made a suggestion.

I think any input from any user that can be of some advantage to the performance of the Rom is useful.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Eduardo C.:
Apps from google play to sd card by default.

I bought a 16GB micro SD card for my x8 and i would like to know if with this fantastic rom it's possible to install apps from google play to sd card by default.

Any help?

Thx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Just partition your SD card in CWM Recovery, choose ext4 file system and the size you want, create a swap partition with 128mb or 256mb. Within the rom, in the terminal emulator install a2sd (search the method somewhere in this thread, i don't remember the code right now), or use Link2SD from Google Play to install apps to the SDcard's ext4 partition. (Link2SD has an option to choose the SDcard by default, but it will use the native method, not the ext4 partition).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Because ADW is official launcher for CM7
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] BlackRabbit1703:
why I got bootloop???

flash JB kernel and want to back again on GB minicm

and stuck on kernel logo

and i must flash to 2.1 first than root, unlock, flash miniCM

anyone can explain it to me??

thx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Lajbymester:
Why do you root and unlock the bootloader again? Senseless... I never understood people who did these steps after flashing 2.1. You can flash the nAa kernel right after flashing 2.1, because the bootloader remains unlocked.

And yes, you have to flash 2.1 then install another kernel and rom, I think it is because of the resized partitions on JB.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] khestrell:
After you go back from jb kernel to an older one, and before installing another rom, you have to format system partition in cwm

Edit: and no need to root and unlock again after restoring with pcc or seus, but you dont need to do it at all
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rderasta:
Did a cleaner install. OC 729mhz again. No swap, no supercharge. And activated force GPU for 2D render.

I removed few system apps i dont need, and replaced launcher and file manager for the ones i want.

But, i'm also using ES Administrator which allowed me to disable a bunch of useless processes that aren't necesary at start up :good:

Seems stable so far :). Ram is better, between 30-50mbs.

Although, the known bugs persist (ofc). And in the process I had many random reboots, which makes me think we should agree with those that say reboots happen because of ram management issues. Once you get trough that, its stable-ish :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] shivamchinu:
Can anyone tell if any further development is going on, on this ROM?

nAa seems to be busy these days, not much activity from him.

(P.S.: Not asking for ETAs, just asking has the development been paused or stopped altogether?)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
i am sorry but i would like to ask same question !!!!! :D reallay i want another version with some issues fix !!! :) Love Ya nAa, take your time ..... just drop one note with yeah sooon we will have another big update :P

Commands for enabling a2sd in Terminal Emulator

I've made a ext4 partition on my sd card through CWM... can someone help me with the commands needed in terminal emulator to enable a2sd on this rom?

Thx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
a2sd install

yes

these are the commands, AFAIK. but wait till someone confirms it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Heronger:
Confirmed :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] harviak:
clean install - force 2D GPU rendering, zram 26%, CPU 245-745MB SmartassV2, allow purging of assets, no swap, disable mock locations, replace default launcher with Apex, removed libGlesandroid.so and edited line in buil.prop.... works very good, stable and realy fast. Only lockscreen sometimes need more time to wake up but I disabled it andi works very good now.

awesome job guys.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] BlackRabbit1703:
thx 4 your advice dude!

of course I did...cz root is the requirement for unlock..and nAa need both of it,, :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
:)

i know some of you are wondering if development is stopped, the answer is no, and here is something to make you wait a little more again ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Very very very good news :D

One question: can i customize the Rom for personal use (not for posting it here, i don't steal others work) by simply opening and editing the contents of the flashable Rom zip file? That way i could make a flashable zip of my own without the things i don't use and with the apps i use, in case something goes horribly wrong :P
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
yes, of course you can :),

in fact, you can do whatever you want for

yourself

... until you want to release it for others, since then you'll need to get permissions from nAa :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
If i had any serious developing skills, i would be pleased to contribute more seriously to the development of this Rom, simply because i think it's a great and skilled work, and with the fact that other 2 JB Roms are out there also, another one would be... unnecessary i think.

I only wanted to do some "trimming" of this one and a few more things that don't involve serious skills, to personal use and that's it.

Thank You :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ainster:

Like a boss :D:D

did you follow all the instructions? are you sure you formatted system and did a factory restore? the first boot is always a long one, but after that it speeds up, did the kernel flash properly?

Hey people, need a little help.

Today I have updated Apex Launcher on Play Store, but after that the launcher don't work, it's always saying that has been interrupted. I don't have another launcher installed, so I can't do nothing with my phone. Is there any way to solve this without full wipe?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Just flash the ROM one more time, wipe only the cache and dalvik before. No data loss.

Hello all.

I must say, that performance is a way better than MiniCM9, and the most important, battery performance is outstanding. It was ages, when I had rom using battery so efficient. Congratulations, and keep on the good work!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Triptamine:
I've tried to do that, but with no luck. Thanks anyway. ;)

Well, that could solve my problem, but I really don't know how to make a Zip file to install with CWM. If someone can help me with this, I'll be very grateful.

Thanks for your tip. ;)

EDIT: After a few search @ Google, I find out how to make a flashable Zip and done it with Holo Launcher. Before I flash it, I could go to Settings in the option on status bar and uninstall Apex Launcher. Then just flash the file I've made with Holo Launcher and now everything works fine.

Thank you all for your help. ;)

Keep getting E: Can't open... (bad). Tried redownloading like 3 times already.

Make sure that the SD card you have a well planted.

And in the CWM have selected the option "format system"
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
How did you do that? I Google'd it myself yesterday, found a few pages but none of those worked... All i got to know well was how to extract, edit, repack and sign an APK, but i wanted to sign my edited rom zip file to flash in cwm, but i had no luck at all...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
MiniCM10-4.0.1 and nAa-jb-02 released!

EDIT: if you have problems with undervolt or Superuser flash this: Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Triptamine:
I've found the info in another forum, where a user shared a Zip file ready to flash. We just need to add what we want to the folders app, fonts, framework or media. In my case, I just needed to add Holo Launcher.apk to "app" folder and... voilà!!

I will attach that file, hope it help you too.

Hello all

I can't find OTA Update notifications. In Settings -> About Phone there is only changelog. Where to find it

Hi

I found it. I thought that this must be in System section in the menu. I found it and if there is update i will see it there. I've pressed register, after the installation yesterday. So it must be ok I suppose.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Well, thank you very much, it worked! Now to customize the Rom for myself the only thing i need is to open the zip with 7-zip File Manager and edit whatever i want, and the file doesn't loose the signature! :laugh:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sashundera:
Hey nAa, does the new version improve stability a bit because 4.0.0 really used to crash on me? Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
It ussaly works to keep pressing the powerbutton a few times with about 1-2 seconds between eatch press until the screen lights up.

You can also set the minimum cpu freq a little higher and it won't happen as often but this will also drain the battery faster.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Killjoy2012:
has this got the quick reply feature from CM10?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Neur0Nerd:
Thanks for your answer.

PS: I have some random reboots every 2 Minutes :S . I don't know if it is due to the ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
the rom has been well tested, that kind of bug couldn't have passed the tests :)

this can come from :

from what you upgrade

if you modified the zip in any way

if yo have conflicting data

if anything went wrong during install

if you are unlucky :eek: :angel:

are you using swap? a slow/dying SDcard can crash the phone when using swap (partition or file, depends on the SD) or A2SD ..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Neur0Nerd:
Thanks for your answer, it was not really a bug. I don't know why it rebooted but it doesn't reboot anymore.

I just have one bug: Play Store everytime FC. I can't use it. I flashed GAPPS and tried to install the apk but nothing changes :S
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
delete user data for play store or just downgrade the playstore ("désinstaller toutes les mises à jours" in the app management section) it should work :)

root explorers doesnt work anymore as their root permission is automatically denied. "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" command doesnt work either. i guess its because the custom partitioning, but is there any solution for this?

Unlock Black Screen

something i found idk if the Developers knows it or not so i thought to share

when screen stays black after pressing home button to unlock i found out the the touch is active and when i move my finger on the screen it vibrate as normal, so the issue only on the back light of the screen or whatever, not the whole phone lag as people might think.

i hope this is useful somehow to fix the problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
right, even though most people say it lags, it doesn't,

Just because they didn't spied the bug well ;)

(but don't worry we knew this before you said it :p )
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Killjoy2012:
been using this rom for a couple of hours now, and I've found it's super smooth, I haven't even had the lockscreen bug once, i'm very very impressed.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] khestrell:
There's one thing what i don't understand (there's more but this is the most annoying :D): this rom is fast and cool and everything, i like it so much. The apps starting and running real fast. For a while. Unless you keep clearing out the app history manually, the rom starts freezing after opening more than 2 or 3 apps. But isn't this what android should do automatically, when the free RAM is running out? Clearing out less important or last used apps from memory?
