Hi, I've made the status bar drawer transparent.

Can anybody help me to make the transparency in status bar too?

I have tried a lot but no success.

Screenshots:

theme i use was the system default,n yes i did remove some barebones based from this article ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/barebones ),but the problem seems to solved now after i restart my device,however i found new problem,the dialog box for wifi seems stretch out in potrait mode (see screenshot attached),i need to rotate to landscape to enter my wifi password :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mr-tical:
I have this too in different situations, everywhere when need to write something (wifi, browser etc) but not always - sometimes.

cpu float point

I also have this problem.

Cpu float point scores around 18-20 in antuntu.

It dosent matter if i overclock, underclock or anything.

Hi, how can i apply stock JB theme ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fifo171:
settings -> theme -> system :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
ok, what are the barebones you removed?

:)

PS: lots of bugs disappear on reboot, and for some never happen again. were you able to replicate both issues with miniCM10 and CrystalminiCM10 themes too?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I need help guys... Only yesterday i noticed that i can't write more than 2 pages on a sms without it being converted to mms. In the previous versions i never had this issue, the bug in both first versions (4.0.0 and 4.0.1) was that the sms's stopped being sent and i was forced to use a 3rd party app. In this version that bug is fixed but this issue is annoying, i'm used to send big sms's and now i can't because they get converted to mms after 2 pages.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chrissykess:
@up i have too this bug!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mr-tical:
And the lockscreen bug....:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] GEORG_X8:
Open phone apk and lock screen while phone is opened. I saw it in the MIUI thread, and it works for MINI CM10. Didn't work for MIUI tought.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mr-tical:
Thanks, but i can't do that all the time :(

It has to be fixed.

Many difficult problems has been solved here...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Just use a higher min CPU frequency, 245mhz for example. That does the trick for me, at least 99% of the times.

Now, does anyone has a solution for the SMS bug? Or do i have to "boringly" resort to Handcent all over again?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
i've been using AWDlauncher for over a day now and look screen bug seems to be fixed since, the only problem is any of the 3 hard keys are unlocking the screen, so keep in mind that the phone might wake up in your pocket and drain the battery.

also AWD performance is soooooooooooooooo amazing. i hope you really try it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Guys, i just found the solution for the SMS bug, get the Mms.apk from JB Mini Project's latest version and install it over the one on this Rom.

I've tested it already and it works as it should, no longer converting to mms after only 1 or 2 pages.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CKKnot:
I hate to say this but there are some imperfect in this rom although it's reported to be completely working :eek:

It have no lag (using entropy seeder) & OC to 787 (Performance) 16Bit Alpha, Default Dithering.

1. This rom have no Wifi Adhoc Support. It does not scan for them.

2. Attempting to activate Usb Tethering will lead to Setting application to FCs.

3. It's using the legacy camera that (in a way, it's not cool to not have the function swipe the preview window to open Gallery) & Panorama is not working.

4. where is Google Search ? I have to installed it for myself :eek:

5. CM File Manager. It's there for left out :D :D :D (It's So slow, Sluggish & bugfull despise of the look :) )

I wish that the nightlies have these bug fixed :victory:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
It seems that i was wrong about gaming unfortunately...

Gaming is next to impossible, this is completely contrary to previous versions :(

It doesn't matter what settings i use, in games it just lags to a point that playing them is impossible.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jimmkind:
Well. how does antuntu read your cpu float point?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] saintckk:
Thanks for your advice on using entropy seeder, now it make the ROM more lively!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] woliaoxiaoliang:
So Google Now will never be available in this ROM? :crying:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] saintckk:
??? I playing PES2012 and FIFA12, no problem, except it take longer loading time, but there's no lag when playing the game itself!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Cancar96:
Not this rom but for all linmes of armv6 devices until someone ports needed libs.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I don't have antutu installed, what i know is that a game as simple as "Hill Climb Racing", that used to run super smooth, now it just stutters and even the sound stutters. It's weird because overall the Rom runs very very well, even playing big videos on MX Player is not a problem, but i can't play games as i played with previous versions.

If the float point of the CPU is too low, how can i fix it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
AnTuTu Benchmark

:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
And that low Float Point does not affect anything on the Rom? I'm benchmarking mine now, if the Float Point is too low, i'm going to try something i've read on the X10Mini threads... This game-lagging issue is bugging me :mad:

UPDATE: Just ran the benchmark and Antutu stops the test after 2d graphics, no error, just stops as if the test was ended... This is really not normal :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xelyt:
CPU float point fix

Hello guys i have found a way to fix low cpu float point which happens due to broken libm.so. Zip contains libm.so taken from MiniCM10 4.0.1

as you can see from the images my antutu score raised a lot after applying this fix

All you have to do is flash the zip in CWM

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MatthewWu:
I'm very disagree with your point 2.

My app still avaible after i reboot my phone.

Really, i don't get any bugs since i installed this rom. For all who are having some issues, try to re-install MiniCM10 4.0.2 :D

Freezing and random reboot

I have using this version for the last 3 day and only bugs and things that is anoyng is screen freez and random reboot. I set my cpu to 320-652MHz with smartassV2 gov. Screen freez during installation new apps or when i use some app a long time. For now i had only 3 random reboots in 3 day wich is not so bad at all. I hope that someone have solution for screen freez and app force close.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jimmkind:
@nobodyatall

First of all. great rom.

Some ideas.

1. A solution to the low cpu float that some users are getting (a temp fix was posted in the thread).

2. A new fork from evervolv regarding mountext-script in init.d. Texasice has improved his scripts with enhanced mountpoints and journaling features disabled (if mounting ext4).

3. Texasice has also developed a new script that keeps the gapps package in sd-ext, and symlinks them to system. The idea is to reduce the reading from nand and to reduce system partition size.

Look in to this please
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Hi jimmkind,

Thanks for your ideas. For 1) I'd like to see what's the offending fix in bionic that might cause some drop in the floating point operations (if there is any)

2) sounds interesting, will have a look and include it in upcoming nightlies.

For 3) I don't like this idea. Moving core apps to sdcard will only have a negative performance effect. After all, MiniCM10 is stripped enough to fit into the JB mtd partitioning for /system (normal installations should get rom+gapps and still some MBs to spare).

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] trygor:
I bave wipe to Factory setings 4 times via cwm, since nAa said in first post that this should be done at least one time and reinstall the ROM. Now all seem great, no freezings and no fc's but apps that i installed from the store are gone after reboot. Don' t know why this is happend
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] legend40:
Hello all.

I'm having problems with File Manager I get an error that says "the operation's command was not found or has an invalid definition"

Does anyone can help.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] filipe_t:
HI,

I had an anoying bug with the sms app that converted all sms with more that 160 chars to an MMS..

I found that CM fixed this so a was playing around and got it from the i9000 cm10 nightly.

it works :) i attached the file for anyone who wants it. just replace with the one in system/app

nAa, thank you so much for this rom :) its great.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] saintckk:
This is a well known issue, why don't you try root explorer, will solve your problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Triptamine:
Finally I can solve this annoying bug without using 3rd party apps like GoSMS.

Thanks a lot JBolho!! ;)

I also have this problem with Antutu, don't know why...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I've reinstalled the ROM clean for 2 times now, tried a million-and-one things but the bug remains. Antutu can't make a full test (stops by itself after 2D test), but if i do the tests one by one individually, they run.

-- CPU float point is between 18 and 21 - (UPDATE) The CPU Float Point Fix by xelyt posted a few posts back really works but game lagging continues to be the same.

-- Antutu 3D test doesn't get past 15fps but 2D test runs very well.

-- "Angry Birds" and "Angry Birds Seasons" run well but not as smooth as on version 4.0.1

-- "Hill Climb Racing", wich is also a 2D game, is unplayable, the sound lags and stutters, the game itself lags like hell, on version 4.0.1 the game ran smooth as butter.

-- "Football Manager 2012" runs well because it's mainly text, but loading times are bigger than before.

Thought that Chainfire3D was going to help, but found out the hard way that it soft-bricks the system and had to reinstall everything, so no help.

"JB Mini Project"'s SMS app allows for multiple sms pages but suddently on mine the sms's get stuck on "sending", MiniCM10 SMS app doesn't allow more than 1 page, so i got back to Handcent SMS

For the lockscreen bug i took the advice of using "pattern", and together with a min CPU freq of 245mhz, it works perfectly well 100% of the times.

I accidentally found a simple way to make the battery virtually untouched during the night, just switched from 2G/3G networks to only 2G and guess what... at 2 a.m. the battery was 57%, and at 11 a.m. the battery was 56% :D

For CPU float point look here...it should solve games performance issues too. Antutu works fine for me...i only had one freezing when i was using all animations to 0.5
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I've just updated my post, your fix works very well, my CPU float point is now normal but gaming performance is the same. I've done the Antutu tests one by one and the system looks fine, except maybe the 3D test (15fps at max, that is really low...) the ROM itself has no lag at all and the SD card looks to be fine.

Some things, like Wi-Fi seem to be faster than ever and i'm using the same settings and tweaks that i used since 4.0.0, gaming was never a problem, but now... :mad:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Lajbymester:
The new 3D test is really heavy in antutu :) that's normal in a benchmark.

I had no lag in that game (and any other) when MiniCM10 4.0.2 was installed. It only lagged a bit when I started a "run" but after 5 seconds it was as smooth as in gingerbread. Maybe try using a bigger swap partition (256 MB should be enough, when I used 128 MB the whole system was laggy), and turn KSM off.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xelyt:
I'm testing this right now...maybe it can help with games performance too
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I've read the thread, it sounds good except for battery life... I would not want something constantly eating away my battery juice even when i have the phone sitting quietly on my pocket... And it seems to be not working for some people.

As for Hill Climb Racing, i've turned KSM off but no effect, the lag persists...

ringtone delay fix

I have found a way to fix ringtone delay which happens quite often when receiving a call

Open build.prop and find ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0

Save and reboot and you will see that phone will ring instantly when receiving a call

however i dont like laggy slide lockscreen,in minicm9 lockscreen is rapidly fast but that is not the case here.please nAa check it out,and for second time:) theme should be updated by themeing calendar,clock,and few more icons such as flipboard.

i have no complaints about battery life:victory:.

I'd download the rom again.. If you've done the install correctly it must be an incomplete rom or corrupt download of the rom.

Tweaked auto brightness

Hello guys this mod is for people who use auto brightness

I tweaked hw_config.sh using stock eclair values in order to make auto brightness like it was in 2.1 (directly controlled by sensors)...the only downside of this mod is that auto brightness will ALWAYS be set to on even if you untick it in settings/display.

Make a backup of your current hw_config.sh before flashing

To apply this mod turn off all auto brightness options in settings/display and then flash zip in CWM. You don't need to activate auto brightness again after flashing zip

EDIT: added second version...it should work a bit better.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] edinchez:
Do we HAVE to use this new theme? IMO it's really ugly. It's the only reason I went back to ICS. The performance was much much better than the previous version, but the theme.. wow.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Just a heads-up on the Entropy Seeder app, it does not work (at least the apk does not), the program gets SU permissions, it boots at system start but the setting to turn it on does not remain on, it goes to off as soon as you switch to something else.

If someone knows how to apply the rngd file directly and get it to work let me know, because the dev that made it does not explain any of that.

I was hoping that solved my game-lag issue, since i have nothing left to try and from what i see i'm the only one experiencing that (not on all games but some that used to work flawlessly on 4.0.1)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Lajbymester:
Oh god... go to Settings, tap Themes, and you can change it...

I can confirm that.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] saintckk:
I have no problem with that app, it works great, still dont' fully resolve the lag problem, it just not as smooth as miniCM7! I noticed with the app, the power consumption has also increased!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xelyt:
I'm on mobile now...i will upload an init.d script for seeder later
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] edinchez:
One more question. Does Google Now work for you guys? In all the JB ROMs I've tried until now, it hasn't worked. It simply crashes whenever I launch it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] arcsuper:
4.2?

you want to create a 4.2 verision?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
And where do i put the rngd file and the init.d afterwards?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] t81:
google now works Ive tried it, it only crashes when woice search is activated, could not provide screens its not in any of the changelogs :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
To the point 2. Yeah, I found that recently too and noticed that texacise is talking about disabling journaling on ext4 by default in his new version of the script.

I myself do that a couple of months already.

Here´s how:

All you need to do is to edit 05mountext script in /system/etc/init.d

Find this line:

$BB mount -t ext4 -o data=ordered,commit=15,barrier=1,nouser_xattr,errors=continue,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev $SD_EXT_PART $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY;

and change it to:

$BB mount -t ext4 -o data=writeback,commit=15,barrier=1,nouser_xattr,errors=continue,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev $SD_EXT_PART $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY;

Also, you can change commit to 60 and barrier to 0.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xelyt:
Seeder entropy generator

This is the seeder with init.d script...copy 91RNGD to system/etc/init.d and rngd in system/xbin and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x for both files or just flash the CWM version

Type watch -n 1 cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail in terminal to verify if is running (entropy should be a high value like 3000 or so)

If you prefer using a simple apk rather than an init.d script then you can download it from the original thread

Only CWM version of the zip is flashable. Gingerbread version is for GB only because of different permissions in init.d folder

All credits goes to lambgx02 for seeder and thegreatergood for script

Where do you install it? Internal memory, SD card (fat) or SD card (ext)? Because that game is not compatible with installation to ext4 partition, only works on internal or with native store-to-FAT method.

If i move it to ext4 partition, it force-closes too.
