im back ... was on your gb version and ... well ... what to say ... worked good (unlock bl) smooth and thanks for your great work. hope you will release a lot of more stuff like that.

but two things. im under v5 and

1) the circle bat stat isnt there ... installed it seperate - im not sure if its missing inside the rom or its in your mind.

2) after installing i got ~6 empty icons on desktop and menu (could be deinstalled but well not knowing for what they are)

Same issues for me as well. No notification toggle, ugly circle battery icon, no root, no wifi, no network, no sim pin asking at startup, even no reboot at all in any way. I mean the phone hangs at bootanimation. No startup. The illumination bar stays on and the phone hangs at bootanimation. I think you should take this version down.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Are you sure it is based on St25i and not on St25a generic firmware as they have different radio frequencies? I need the European baseband. This may be the cause of no network issue. Just a thought. I hope I helped...

Back on topic, this rom keep replacing smartass v4 with smartass v3 after reboot. I have to install v4 manually every time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darkbsoul:
v6 - I get "Contacts" and "android.process.acore" crash several times at boot.

Removed smartass apk with Root App Delete, then flashed smartass v004 the cwm way and installed the apk.

After reboot, it still crashes.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Delete the app in system/app using eg RootExplorer. Then restart and install Version 4. But keep in mind that I replaced version 4 cause of FC's

Never observed the contacts issue --> Did you wipe cache and dalvik

Smartass v4 does FC, that why its not in the rom
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darkbsoul:
Wiped cache and dalvik, re-downloaded and re-flashed right now but Contacts and android.process.acore still crash.

Does it make difference that I previously removed some bloatware from the stock french ics?

I've also tried to disable auto sync but it's the same.

Running the smartass governor from the app makes the device rebooting...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amirzano:
testing now seems every thing is good as always thanks bro :D

Flashed from King's ICS ROM, all the install steps (deleting old files, copying system files, setting ermissions ...) passed very quickly, seems that nothing was really done. After reboot, it's still boot into the King's ROM.

Format the /system then flash again and reboot, halt at startup screen with SONY logo.

What's the correct way to install from other ICS ROM? Should I flash back to stock ROM first?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aca89:
Wipe everything, mount system and then try.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aleung:
I've flashed it, the key is mount system.

But, after it boots up, the radio doesn't work. Check system information, I noticed that baseband version is unknown!

And system halt after a while, reboot automatically ... nothing works.

Flash back to King's ROM, everything ok.

Is it because of incompatible kernel? Kernel version is 3.0.8+, don't remember where it comes from. I've flashed some other ROMs before.

Is this just cosmetic or does it change anything under the surface that I should know about? If so how do I fix it.

it changed because this rom is based on ST25i ics firmware, not ST25a, try flashing only the baseband of ST25a ics ftf via flashtool

Hi, i'm kinda newb and i don't get the Aroma thing.

Your rom is working fine here, i flashed it via CWM ("install zip from sd card>choose zip...")

But i really wanted to know how aroma the installation works, i googled and saw some vids but still don't get it...

How can i install it using AROMA? and what is it? Is something i can flash via a kernel? i totally don't get it, sry =/

And my bootloader is unlocked already btw.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Aroma was Part of the Rom till version 3. As I made one version for all bl, aroma was rejected as it's only for ul bl.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Azyx:
Oh ok! Now i think i get it thebrainkafka, so AROMA is something that u put in your rom that let's u customize the install?

And btw, nice rom bro, thank you!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BigFuzzyArchon:
This didn't work. I don't mind it as long as there are no underlying issues. Do I lose my 3G for installing this rom because it changed the baseband? I am on ATT which is 850mhz I believe.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rifky125:
I think you will lose 3G because the frequency is different, maybe you can ask op to make a version for ST25a, because this rom is really smooth and have good battery life :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BigFuzzyArchon:
Yea I am digging the rom. I can live without 3g if I have to, I dont have a data plan anyway and use just wifi. But I would like to have the option of using 3g when I need it.

So any plans on making ST25a version of this rom thebrainkafka? Would be much appreciated if its not too much work. I don't think there are any ST25a roms

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Azyx:
I have the ST25a too, and i'm on a brazilian company "Oi" that also uses 850mhz.

what i did was adding the APN for my 3g to work (Mobile Networks>Acess Point Names)... i don't know why but it worked. You can call your company to get the information about the APN (username, pass...) or u can download an app called tweaker that tells you that....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BigFuzzyArchon:
I added the APNs for ATT and I now am getting the data connecting with the H next to the bars. Somebody in another thread told me the phone just shows up as ST25i because it says in build.prop so I edited that and it says ST25a, so rom is fine no need to make a ST25a version I guess. Thanks!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] troullis2004:
There are easy fixes. Even with any tweak I have tried, gps gives me problems.

Does this rom include suplrootcert file in system/etc? I manually added it, added a line in gps.conf file to use it and gps is much quicker.

If you add gps tweaks, you should make a cwm installation script that gives region options and advanced gps.conf options.

Also a memory cleaner script should be of use.

Maybe more kernel tweaks?
