Now it's still too early to talk about battery, but from 4:00 AM to 1:45 PM my phone with 3G and GPS enabled consumed only 6% of battery in suspend mode. From 51 to 45%. But battery need a calibration.

Now...

Ext_SD-Card - works

Video HW Acceleration - works

Ringer and sound - works

LED notifications - it works - but it does not flash, only as a steady light

Audio recording - does not work

Rom is damn fast!!!!, responsive, for anything you do not need to wait. All at once operates the touch of your finger.

The only thing missing is a nice task manager as MIUI, under the HOME button.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
i think you must fix screenshot features... i want to screenshot but why the size was 0 KB?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
Wait, does that mean video playback works? Youtube and so on?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -shaMe-:
FXP.. You're a bunch of legends :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Yes, for me works. Stock player, YT player and MX Player.

Screenshots feature makes 0 byte files ;) that's true.

J, FXP and whoever is in the team - guys, Sony must offer you a job, and for sure you must get the biggest money there. You did something so smooth, so wonderful, so shiny - i really dont have words to describe how i feel using your ROM, it makes me feel like i will never use sony rom again.

My only issue is ringing - i don want to miss calls. When you fix this - the ROM will be the only thing that my phone will touch.

Can someone tell me what wrong with my phone ? Plzz ...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jerpelea:
unless we get new blob

NO WAY
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
I think everything is ok. I don't have baseband in About Phone too :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
J, sorry for asking this, i know its in development, but is there any way or any fix to make the phone ring on incoming call?

Thanx in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kriss_Hietala:
mirror plz. After 2h of download it got broken, CRC error. now uploaded.to let me download it with uber speed 7kB/s ;<
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
Great work ... everything's working now, there are still some issues by it's priority for me (personaly):

1) Ringtone not always ringing!

2) Voice recording, Video recording due to voice, Nimbuzz Skype And Yahoo Voice call won't work too due to voice recording problems!

3) NFC won't work,

4) Floating Touch is a problem when connecting charger

5) Floating touch is enabled in some games!

6) Not having Glove mode (the least priority)

Hope you guys fix this as fast as possible :( at least fix the audio recording since i need to make internet calls by viber :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
there are some posts about audio in this topic. For now is impossible to fix it.

My ringtone always work, today about 20 calls and 50 messages&mails.

Floating touch in games is a random thing. From time to time is inactive in this same game. But when I connect charger, nothing change, I have this same sensivity of touch.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
for me when the charger connected, sometimes have problem with touching!... why the audio can't be fix? the source code has been released by sony and the devs already know it! not sure why this audio thing can't be fixed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
This is ansfer from FXP in post no.203

and about audio, post no. 211

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Thanks for confirm that. It's noted in changelog, but good to know :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tinnef:
Just to be clear: until this 'new blob' is released by Sony all audio related problems will remain, including the phone not ringing on an incoming call, or in other words, until then this ROM is useless if you want to use your phone as a phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
i think no, because i can call, ringtone, etc.

the only problem is audio recording :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
of course NO

I use my sola daily as my primary phone :) yes, with FXP CM 146 and from 5:00AM today, with 148:)

The ONLY audio related issue

for me

, is audio recording.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lordtestgame:
Sometimes I cant make a call after few minutes. Is there anyway to fix it ?

Thanks.

Xperia Sola {PEPPER FXP148a}

Rom: Unofficial Cyanogen 9.1

Stock: 6.1.1.B.1.10
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
Out of curiosity, what other audio related issues do people face ( Beside recording, and some people having absence of the phone ring ) ?

Downloading... Based on the posts, this could be my new daily :D

I'll test and report back
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vilo76:
Got the "ringer" issue too on 148a, and the only workaround I have found is to use a Tasker profile.

As others have already mentioned, this is the only issue that prevent this ROM from being the perfect Sola daily driver, because apart from that, this ROM is "jaw dropping" smooth compared to stock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tinnef:
It would possibly be the best one, currently, but by no means perfect.In my opinion that would be the case if all functionality would be working, including NFC and Floating Touch (and if I''m not mistaken they don''t at the moment, correct?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Read from post no.146. There is much discussion about the floating touch. At this time, this functionality is not available.

IMHO rom suitable for everyday use, but please remember, this is still development version, which can occur an unexpected errors. We use it just in order to catch these errors and to publish. Then the developer know what to improve.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
The ROM is really good ! Very smooth and almost fully functional

Audio works, ext_sd works ( Thank you ! This was the only thing stopping me from switching to CM9 ages ago ),

ringtone works, Videos play, all the toggles work well, hotspot works

FM Radio force closes, and Video recording doesn't work. Screnshots are 0 KB as mentioned earlier, but can be viewed in the phone. I couldn't test NFC

I also got a random reboot when changing the Notification LED color, a settings close another time. Maybe that was just whwhen the ROM was settling down. A couple of reboots and they're fine.

Most times the LED glows continuosly, and some times, not at all. I'll test more , and see if i can find a pattern.

Overall the ROM is very smooth and quite stable! Consistently getting ~ 150 MB free RAM, which was unheard of in Stock. Great job FXP :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] espaciosalter20:
I really don't understand this Audio problem thing... Ok, it's true than on gb there was incomplete audio source code to work on but there is the 6.1.1.B.10 source code available, that's mean ics source code. Also in most case, we don't need full working code at least some wrapper code to make audio fully works.

Enviado desde mi MT27i usando Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
it has nothing to do with ICS sources. Here is a question not about the code of the operating system.

I think FXP meant processor code, and guessing how things work in this particular processor.

ST-Ericsson NovaThor
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
Can't all the people that don't get their ringtones use vibration alert ? I mean just until the ringtone problem is fixed :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
In EVERY CyanogenMod i used before, ringer ALWAYS ring ONCE. Only solution to find really loooooong ringtone :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vilo76:
The Tasker (or any other task management apk) solution is just fine until this issue is fixed.

By the way I've made some logcat of two calls : one with ringer OK (just after fresh install actually) and one with ringer KO.

I'm pretty sure that FXP team have already done this, but I was curious ...

I can see plenty of "errors" related to audio, but they are the same in the 2 logs, and there is no obvious difference that could explain the "ringer" issue (at least for an android dev noob like me).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
and how this will help? What processes have to close? Because it's a new way I have not heard about :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ankon90:
SD EXT swap

How i can swap sdcard and external_sd on this rom guys? old method dont work now, cos we have external_sd, not ext_card

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] styjp:
How did you fix it using tasker?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deevil:
Hello.

How to do it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
maybe you can edit the bat script and find anything about "ext_card" and replace it with external_sd, it's works for me...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vilo76:
My profile is an adaptation of this one

But, yesterday I made some tests with many calls from another phone, and it seams that this trick is not reliable at all ...

Sometimes it works good, sometimes it rings but at very low volume, sometimes it doesn't ring at all, etc ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] freshbooy:
sry for this question

but

how to install this rom?

i installed it but get bootloop! :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
You must come from stock rom. Unzip FXP zip and copy boot.img in flashtool folders.

Put the FXP ROM on your internal memory and Fastboot the image, taken from ROM.

Then go into recovery and flash the zip.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
mine is only rings once than after that never heard again :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deevil:
This not working for me.

I import profiles by link. (edit caller and ringtone file).

But ringtone not played.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Guys and gals :) Its obvious we have to wait till J fix it.

When this get fixed no other ROM will see day light through the display of my phone !!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deevil:
Hello mirost1.

We try to fix this with Tasker.

I wrote about this.

We certainly waiting for the decision from the FXP team.

But trying find any temporary solution...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Buddy, by J i meant FXP. He knows about that and i am sure he will fix it as soon as he can, cause i think this is one of the most important features of the phone - to ring so you can answer.

So lets wait and hope.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vilo76:
Profile must be edited to match "any contact" (i.e. contact edit box must be empty).

By the way it appears not to be very stable, it may work ... or not.

Hope FXP will figure it out very soon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
USSD code seems not worked...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
don't agree. works for me. but without screenshot this time. screenshot feature made 0byte files.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
Is there a way to customize the status bar toggles ? Right now it has 4 toggles- wireless, bluetooth, gps and sound. How can I add more ?

Or can I install another one and not worry about a thing ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
settings> system > and you find what you want :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
not something I like to do
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Settings > System > Notification drawer > Widget buttons. And maybe you may try to move your notifications bar left or right?? :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
you can screenshot it with power+vol down, i have that bug if i using the CM9 screenshot feature...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
no, both tricks don't work. 0 bytes, 0 height, 0 width... but this pictures exists.. somewhere :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
I am an idiot, I do not know why I did not see that... I swear I looked ... I must be high on CM :) It's the first time it boots on my Sola and I am excited. :silly:

The first thing I tried was actually to move the notification bar left or right :))

Hey, if you use Apollo music player to set one of your music tracks as a ring tone you will hear it when the phone rings !!!

I just tested it ! I dialed my cell from my landline and it rang with sound. I used an MP3 from my external memory card.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
calm down.. give time to your phone... IT WILL be quiet :D promise. Sound disappears only when is needed :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
@Adaho - You were right. I didn't notice it, but the ringtone stopped working :P That explains why I haven't heard calls for the past few days :D

But a reboot usually gets it back working. I'll try and figure out how long after a reboot it takes for it to disappear.

Two more bugs i found - (Minor) - In several file explorers, mp3 files cannot be opened directly,but get detected by the music player. Is that normal ?

Also, at some random points in time, the notification bar, with toggles and everything just disappears. Does any one else have this issue ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vilo76:
Yes I noticed that too.

Sometimes when I pull down the notif bar, it is empty.

But by closing it and reopen it (pull up pull down several times) the content reappears.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
Same thing happens on my Sola too.

p.s. I still have my ringtone working. It is 12:05 pm right now, I flashed the rom last night at about 7-8pm. No restarts since let's say 11pm last night. So I guess I will also measure the time it takes for the ringtone to stop working. Another thing that you might consider. I receive like 3-4 calls a day, a lot of calls per day might have something to do with the problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] styjp:
Bluetooth A2DP

Bluetooth A2DP (music audio) does not work with any player. Audio in phone calls through Bluetoth work fine
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
It happens quite rarely, but the notification bar is a thing. I haven't been able to pin down when, or why it happens.

6 hours since reboot and ringer still works. Tested once every hour or so, and it's fine. I'll get back with more.

EDIT :

@styjp : A2DP is a known issue ( First Post ). I tried and it doesn't work either. Plays through phone speaker.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
Also, I find that when the battery dips below a certain threshold ( 14% for me ), the LED glows continuously. Charging it to above that level remedies it temporarily, but it just comes back after it dips below again. I've disabled Notification LED too. Any one else has similar issue ?

The LED is continuously glowing could cause a larger battery drain. Will it ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] randomchars:
What do you need a new blob for?

I'm asking because there are devices that don't have official ICS/JB but they have (mostly) working CM10.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] styjp:
the notification led is veeeeery low powered so I dont think you should worry about it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ppr01:
quick question,, is this based on ICS rom ? or GB ? i wish other devs didnt stop developing on GB. Sola is made for GB the ICS upgrade makes some apps on the phone not to work or fail to work. well just my 2cents. so if ever CM is available will there be GB roms to ? thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Quick answer, it's based on ICS. Sola is made for GB?? Since when?? Why?? :D:D:D

ICS runs faster, smother, every apps work, no freezes, no other bugs!! STOCK ICS runs twice faster than GB!!

Well, just my thousand dollars, or euros.

And please, before post questions, please read first post in topic.

First line in first post (!!!!)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
my ringtone stopped working around 6 pm so that gives it roughly 20h working life :) After I restarted ringtone works again.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ahlulnugraha:
Maybe he needs comparing between new and old BLOB (not sure) and rewrite it. Other devices are using common board and this devices (Sola, P, U, Go) are quite new (montblanc) again not sure what I'm talking about. Hope Jerpelea(FXP) would explain more about why development on these devices are quite slow and why he need new BLOB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:
FXP will find a way surely

Thanks to the team :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kub4nek:
So far the smallest yet smoothest ROM for me. Just love it :).

One question though: before I flashed it, I had the CWM by munjeni (v. 5.x rc. 13). After the ROM has been flashed I noticed the CWM 5.x version was replaced by 6.x.

How come??? :)

Awww, it's FXP 148, so the latest available at the moment.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
In FXP zip there is an FXP kernel mate - FXP is using their own kernel, thats why.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kub4nek:
OK, sounds reasonable - but the CWM 6.x isn't as sola-ready as the munjeni's one - I can live w/o floating touch/on screen buttons but what's really missing is the /mnt/external_sd path to flash from. Should l link the directory to a /mnt/sdcard/<here> or what? ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mphidi:
I have a problem with installing FXP 148

I fastboot and remove boot. Img from the zip it gives me error. If I leave the boot inside the zip I get successful installation but it never pass boot screen it remains there
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Bro, you must come from stock ROM, you take the boot.img from zip to fastboot it on device, but dont remove it from there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
FXP 148 had a bootloop issue. Flash 148a. It's working. It's there on the FXP site, and earlier in this thread too. Flash the boot.img with fastboot, leave the boot.img in the zip, and flash through CWM. Tried and tested.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mphidi:
Thanks I will do so
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
I will also be happy to be able to use the external card in FXP's CWM.

Also another thing. It'd be great to have more governors and schedulers :) Currently it's like 3 governors and 3 schedulers ... I'd like to see smartassv2 + sio :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Calm down boys, ok?? :D If we have more modified kernels, then we have more governors and we can do more tricks. There is more problems, serious problems to solve, before FXP start play with kernel and modifications. So.. think. Is more easy to have this kernel and make CM stable, right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Imperial_Raj:
yeah, of course! All zips to flash must be in mnt/sdcard/ till ext_card is supported :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
I confirm that the led lights up red continuously when the battery level is low :) But damn this ROM runs soo smooth :)) I think FXP team should go around globally and drink beers with users face to face :))))
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kub4nek:
My battery lasts so freaking long I haven't noticed this yet. :good::fingers-crossed:

Not to mention the cyanogenmodders, right? ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:

I think you can start with your Brand

wifi not stable

hey guys, i'm connecting to internet through a USB dongle so i have to use software like connectify and m-hotspot to use high-speed internet on my phone. but in this rom (both 146 and 148a) the wifi gets disconnected in 1 - 2 min. after that i have to restart the hotspot on my laptop.

i tried flashing global ftf and it had stable wifi..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
I use my laptop as a wifi hotspot with Dell's Peer net program. My Sola on FXP148a has no problem with that, wi-fi hotspot stays connected. However I must say that I don't get my Internet from a dongle.

QUESTION TO FXP/any other DEV too

Will 512mb RAM of this phone be a limitation in future android development ??

I've read your post in xperia NEO thread stating that JB uses 320mb ram , so if coming android versions use more ram say like 450mb then will it be a as limitation to this phone ?? or will internal memory come to rescue ??

i want to know this as i am planing to buy this phone ,but since i've read your post i started thinking to choose a 786mb or higher RAM phone.

YES I KNOW THAT THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THREAD SORRY FOR MESSING WITH THIS THREAD
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Not to 4.1 or 4.2 but future relases....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ahlulnugraha:
There is no limitation on development, let me prove you. You can look on legacy device, there are many outdated phones (sorry) and running JB and still having update from their developers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rohit3221:
My suggestion: just throw in 50-60bucks more and buy xperia p... Bigger screen, better ram, higher resolution, better camera ... ;).. Just my opinion...

Sent from my Xperia sola
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:
If you are concerned about future releases than plan to buy a solid hardware phone having 2GB RAM atleast. This phone will definitely not get future updates other than JB 4.1 though Sony has not yet announced but our xda dev will give a try.

Sorry bro buy some future proof device
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
this is linux, you can feel free to develop it even on an low and legacy devices like (example) Pentium I...

so, why not if you developing for this phone? there is no limit to developing...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Guys, lets stop with the off-topic. I am sure he got it.

To all of you waiting for answer if ring is working if safe feature is off - nope, same problem.

So - it must be fixed by FXP team.
