[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
I think I have finished this. Blazing fast, smooth and almost lag-nullified even right after turning screen on. ICS/JB was made for old models like Nexus One working so no surprising if I fully take advantages of 1GB RAM and destroy 'old belief' tweaks for poor phones. Will try daily use tomorrow and see if it'll lag by the end of the day before release.

Since I made it works on any ICS ROM, I think it should also work on any Xperia ICS phones too. But I don't have other S/U/Sola/Acro/etc. to test so I won't bother posting in Themes & Apps. I'll try this on my cousin's Arc S just in case later.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] junghyun01:
So should upload rom now :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] benraiso:
right, I'm very eager now :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Just got back. New kernel's just arrived on day I'm about to release ROM. Well, guess I'll release tonight anyway...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Version 2.0 is out now. Still testing with new kernel released today though but I think it should be fine.

-Added changing to powersave governor during screen-off

-Added Location based WiFi feature

-Added Partition remounting optimized for performance (disable barriers/noatime/async 15s commit)

-Added SQLite optimizations on first boot

-Added Supercharger's LMK patched services.jar with personally optimized LMK supercharged

-Added Xperia GX's improved boot animation

-Added Zipalign on flashing

-Improved package to be flashable on any ICS ROM

-Rebuilt build.prop tweaks from ground

-Removed bundled apps and some that suck battery-life

-Replaced KA SSpeed tweaks with optimized latest Thunderbolt v2.7.7 optimized with Xperia Fidelity

-Replaced InfinitySound with audio effects bypassed (Hard decision but Fidelity script won't need it)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiteravi:
great thanks

bt audio still broken
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Did you restore to previous state where bt audio works fine then flash this? FYI, this won't solve problem in 1.0, you need to reflash ROM to avoid getting mixed experiences between 1.0 and 2.0
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiteravi:
flashed over non gx with working bt

had i flashed clean ics then gx 2 the bt would work ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Maybe not but you can try. That confuses me why bt audio not working now. Maybe this one is the culprit in /system/build.prop

#Fidelity audio tweaks

#If you have problems with sound, try changing persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire

persist.audio.fluence.mode=broadside

persist.audio.vr.enable=false

persist.audio.hp=true

I'm reuploading fixed build that removes above tweaks atm. Will inform again when it's done.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiteravi:
tryin in the meantime

will report

well dont change just yet!

reinstalled and it works

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Build reuploaded. Glad that it works there but I removed anyway to avoid possible conflicts for time being.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] josie87:
Thanks for the rom. Audio really seems to be much better. I'm just trying out the new version. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noacoked:
After install this my superuser automaticaly block all superuser authorization...Any ideas? Maybe root dont work?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] junghyun01:
+1 :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
This ROM disables DSP. DSP messes up sound's transient and harmonic. Fidelity tweaks will make better sound a real deal. But if you insist to have DSP stuff, try InfinitySound mod.

I didn't change files related to rooting. Just adding zipalign and sqlite3. Maybe setting permissions caused it? For my case, CWM will ask to fix root on reboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] josie87:
My phone crashed several times today since I flashed the new version. Don't know if it is the fault of this Rom. I'm using it together with the new oc kernel. Anyone else experienced this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
It didn't crash here but it's possible being OCed would crash at some point especially when this ROM is highly optimized for non-OC's fullest potentials. I optimized this for days with non-OC kernel so let's see if it'll crash or something later in here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xferianeov:
yes You cant play full HD with bravia on. but works flawlessly without, so who cares for BE, just enjoy this buttery smooth ROM
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Keep in mind that BE2 is feature from higher performance model so it's not surprising if BE2 isn't capable of playing Full HD as it's designed for newer generation of devices with better hardware and optimizations. I don't get ppl who would put Full HD videos in 4 inch screen mobile phone. It doesn't even have external storage and 1080p is painfully overkill for device's capabilities. I'd get 720p at best and live happily with BE2 personally. Nice for YouTube watch.

P.S. For audio playback performance, I favor Row over Zen as Zen being derived from V/R and not very one I'm please with for playing music. You may not believe this but try to change I/O scheduler and see if that affects audio playback for yourself.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dhansiddh:
Firstly when i flash BE2 on stock rom is was able to play Full HD videos without any lag also i keep Full HD videos because i have a laptop of an Full HD resolution and i am lazy to convert the videos from Full HD to HD and then transfer it to mobile....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
It's not just BE2 but app you played in stock ROM wasn't Movie app from Xperia T/V. It's possible that stock ROM apps don't have BE2 implemented and just plays without BE2 engine while this ROM has both BE2 engine and BE2 supported apps to make things actually work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
I think I might find the cause why BE2 not working well at Full HD.

1. Probably Movies app (SemcVideo.apk) from JB build having some changes that's beyond what Xperia P or ICS can handle. I suggest to try Xperia V app from here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1509548&d=1353845616 or other movie players app and see if that solves it.

2. My Row I/O scheduler optimizations couldn't handle high I/O files like Full HD movies. I reduced quantum and increased delay for more battery friendly and lower I/O latency for smoother experiences. Try changing I/O scheduler to others and see if that solves it.

Let me know if any of these suggestions can solve Full HD playback problem so I can consider how to fix it for next ZX 9.0 release.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ash5618:
when i install the rom it gives me status 8 error,i.e error during 4th step,how to proceed now?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] icerebro:
Everybody replies that the best battery life is for weatley/zen, so why did windowsX suggest THP kernel which has no zen scheduler?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nicolassp:
WindowsX i have already posted this but look the screenshots

A problem diplaying the title and it exists with all songs, Furthermore if the song is finished you cannot change to next or previous..but while song is playing you can when pulling down the notification thing..

and whatsapp emoticon list does not fit to screen..With stock .75 rom it is ok though..A dpi problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
1. weatley is best battery saving only when screen is on while most people actually have it turned off for most of the time (except people who use devices frequently with social apps and games). hotplug in long term during screen off will save more battery.

2. I added screenstate scaling optimizations to lock max CPU frequency at minimum level during screen off so combined with disabling cpu1 core makes it battery savior.

3. zen is vr based scheduler with some fairness and deadline improvements. It's more focused on high throughput with increased latency. zen can work as well as sio and others but row is the only one that's specially designed for mobile device. I also optimized row for bettery battery life and lower latency so you can try switching to zen and see if it saves battery better than my optimized row or not. Not to mention I'm also using for music listening and VR based scheduler sounds pretty terrible with muddy bass and poorer transparency. I set scheduler to row > sio > deadline > vr > cfq but will consider zen in future releases.

4. The main reason why I recommended ThP is because it comes with busybox/root/init.d and has stable hotplug without signal drop or reboot. It's kernel I can test easily without worries (and also great). Not to mention ThP puts a lot of effort implementing latest 3.0.60 kernel codebase/compiling with latest GCC which is great plus for community.

It's JellyBean app UI bug and none can do at the moment until JB ROM for Xperia P ships out. Try typing on landscape mode to see more.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] icerebro:
Thnx a lot for this answer, I'll keep using Hotplug/row and see how is it going... have to recalibrate battery then!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
ROM already set governor/scheduler with optimizations so you don't need to do anything at all.

Ok I installed it and it works perfectly! Love the systemui but only on problem... How can I access the systemui preferences?! I mean, can I change the toggles order maybe?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] icerebro:
No calibration?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
Stock SystemUI doesn't come with that.

You can clear battery stats in CWM for calibration.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rvjaywaks:
i cant see the small apps! :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hlaraujo:
There is no app for small apps, you have to long-press home button like you wanted to see recent apps, have you tried it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dhansiddh:
Changing the SemcVideo.apk does not helps the video still lags and i don't know how to change I/O scheduler though i have used set cpu app and have changed the scheduler and the governor but both of then still does not helps in solving the bug...but still i don't know if i have done the 2nd step it correctly....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rvjaywaks:
yes i know! but there no small app in the task manager!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] estape11:
It´s for JellyBean keyboard bro...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
Have a couple of questions regarding this.

I followed the instructions to the T, other than installing small apps as i didn't want it.

1) If i flash another kernel and changed the scheduler/governer settings through SetCPU, and then after a while if i return to thjap's kernel, will your optimizations stick?(as it was originally configured for thjap's kernel)

2) I'm still unable to un-install the apps which came with the stock rom like astro, foursquare, appextra, explore etc. I've used the built in app manager, titanium and root uninstaller. The apps magically reappear after re-boot. I'm surprised no-one else has got this issue. I even flashed the fixed version of the rom and i rebooted twice too...

Could this be because of bullet-proof apps setting included in the v6 supercharger kit?

I know this isn't a critical issue, but i haven't experienced this before and it seems really interesting the way the apps 're-spawn'. the only way i could fix this is by freezing the apps via titanium.

Anyways this isn't a critical issue, i just wanted to provide my feedback.

The music is amazing and the rom is really smooth too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thunderising:
any hopes for a port to Xperia SOLA/U?

Apparently the ROM works on them as well?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Windows X:
You didn't flash small apps part 1 file before flashing this ROM, did you?

Maybe EGL/Mali tweaks doesn't work well with BE2 at Full HD?

1) You'll lose optimizations after changing governor/scheduler not changing kernel. You can use Script Manager to run S98_xperia_fidelity again to apply tweaks again though.

2) I don't think so. Did you flash .75 generic world? I flashed that and I can remove them.

You can try flashing it and see for yourself. If it doesn't work, just re-stock it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
1) Thanks, I'll do that

2) Yes, i flashed the .75 version from the link provided in the first post, then i immediately booted in fastboot mode and flashed ThJap's kernel, and then i immediately rebooted into CWM and flashed your rom after clearing the cache/dalvik cache before and after flashing your rom.Then i finally rebooted to update the nfc firmware and then rebooted again and ran the setup.

Am i doing something wrong? or should i do a complete wipe after flashing the stock?

Did you reboot your phone after removing those apps(astro, foursquare, etc?) If it doesn't re-appear, then i guess i'm doing something wrong...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nicolassp:
when trying to add and open mirror small app shows that app stopped working..this happens when you add and open a small app.. Furthermore..in notification when playing songs it does not show the title fully..it's only half width..i tried to enable on screen buttons and that seems that fixed this..but it would be nice without on screen buttons to fix it..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dr_tracker:
Can confirm this, I have uninstalled all the Apps that I don't use and some of them came back from the dead, uninstalled again and they haven't showed up but they did twice.

Update: rebooted twice my phone to test, they are back, specifically: EA Games, NeoReader, PlayNow, TrackID, WisePilot and Music Unlimited.

Not a big deal, but just to let you know.

I was getting the same problem, I just uninstalled the updates for the small apps and got them working properly...

I unistalled them using link2sd and neves got them back, also I removed one of them through the uninstall option in App drawer and it didn't come back either, maybe you could try it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
I tried with link2sd too, it came back after reboot.

Did you reboot and open the app drawer? just move around the app drawer a couple of times... they'll appear...

It's not at all an issue, i can freeze them... I'm just curious as to how the apps re-spawn!

Stable for everyday use?

Hello,

this looks like a very interesting ROM and I would like to install it but I wonder if it is stable enough for everyday use?

Any major/minor bugs?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Fullm3tal:
As S98_xperia_fidelity is a script of the /etc/init.d directory, it is executed during the phone startup. So, another way is to desactivate the "Set at boot" option of your CPU setting app, and to reboot the phone. This way, the script will be executed and you'll have the hotplug+row with optimizations.

This method works, I checked it today.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Seriously I didn't find any visible bug for now, it's perfect for daily use. The installation method is a "little" tricky compared to other ROMs, but it'll be fine if you follow the steps on the first post. And it's worth it !

By the way, you can skip the step 3) if you don't want the Small Apps. Seriously, who would ever want theses permanent pop-ups on every screen of your phone, as a non-sense in respect of Android ergonomy principles. But it's good that Windows X made the effort to fit the default behaviour of Xperia stock ROMs.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SalmanYousaf:
I m user of Xperia U..i hve flashed that rom to my device....i must say ,i m very impress with its stability and smoothness...as current xperia U custom roms are not that much stable and smooth with Z apps fully ported....

i hve questions...3 things so far noticed....

1--during usage of cell phone with Ur Rom,the phone is heated from normal

2-In sms ,smiles are not complete bcoz the rows continues but display aint showed up

3-after the installation of stock launcher,the applications in application drawer keep getting down and i m aint able to see.

pls can u suggest some ways,i really wanted to use Ur Rom..

I cannot try this rom with SlidinXP Kernel, i got a bootloop!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hlaraujo:
Does it work with ThP's kernel?

Try to reinstall the ROM using the mothod described in the first post, usgin ThP's kernel and after all of that, flash sliding xp via fastboot and/or check if your ROM's zip isn't corrupted, it should have approximately 410mb

Also, I don't know if you can replace the custom kernel step with the sliding xp, so keep in mind that you don't have to redo all the ROM's installation procedure to use sliding xp, you can just flash it after install fidelity with ThP's kernel

EDIT: Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing the new kernel

I did that and nothing happens

And i heard about people who is using sliding with weatley/zen and got good battery life!!
