Is this supposed to work on Neo V? Since this is the Neo V section. Asking so I will know if I will bother to flash it or not. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
If u are saying about the 2 zips be bestt,

He means it should work. But he cant try as he doesn't have a neo v.

Thats why he says try and report.

If you're afraid that it'll do something to your phone, don't flash till someone confirms it works.

Easy as that. :)

" Always forgive your enemy, nothing will ever annoy him more."
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
I never said I was afraid :) No offense but the way he put it wasn't clear at all grammar wise so it was confusing. All I asked was if these zips are for Neo V to try for :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Well a bit of applying mind could work for your understanding :)))) :) *no offence brother*
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Applying minds got the world to the state we are now brother. But let's not go off-topic here. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] besttt:
Ok ok now works or not?????? Hahahahahahahahaha
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Will test it tomorrow and let you know. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
I just installed the rom on my Neo V

It's just great!! Many thanks to the developer! VERY responsive and fast compared to anything I tried so far (gingerbread or ics) This is so much better!

I switched to phone mode and I like it a lot so far.

I have one problem though, I cant use the swipe keyboard, I cannot find any settings for it in the keyboard ans lanuages settings and it cannot swipe at all. It's a great feature and would love to have it. thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
the keyboard in this rom doesnt have swipe!

You can try the keyboard from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1964663

but it doesnt have swipe support for greek aderfe!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
thanks for the quick reply filos

I hope they fix it fast

it works well in english, but as you said, not in greek
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
On another matter, every time I reboot my Neo v the wallpaper disappears and I get a black solid background.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] besttt:
i post a fix the bootanimation crash the wallpaper i post a fix who deletebootanimation
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
after the last 10 or se reboots when the wallpaper disappeared, the last time, I left the phone alone for 5 min and the wallpaper came back.. :silly:

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

So since the Nexus 4 JB keyboard does not support swiping in Greek, do you have a suggestion as to what keyboard I could flash that would do that? An ICS I suppose would do, but which one?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
I am new to paranoid. Does this include AOKP like controls ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
To answer my own question, I flashed the Xperia S ICS keboard that does have swipe, and it works great (at least in English and Greek) from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813556
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
Hi,

Paranoid doesn't include AOKP like controls. It is different.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vimjam:
it includes the best of cyanogenmod + paranoid
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
The FM Radio works, but partially and with a few bugs. You can listen to stations but you cannot search any on your own. If you go to "Set Frequency" and you change the Frequency into something you want and you press OK it does nothing. Additionally the navigation it has in the notification center doesn't work at all, when you choose previous or next or close it gets you back to the radio app. Last but not least when you exit the app, the notification center still shows that you have radio on.

That's all the bugs it has after testing :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
I also got this background problem. I set the background with Zedge, Quickpic and the gallery. Everytime I reboot, the background disappears and is solid black.

I don't want to delete the bootanimation with this delete-zip, I really like it.

Please also update the links to the threads in your OP! They don't work anymore.

I also miss some Sony Apps: Xperia Keyboard, Walkman, Radio.

They should also fix this annoying FXP-kernel-display-problem. I read that it's JellyBean only, but it sucks.

Despite these flaws this ROM is just great! Very good work! I will be a regular visitor now on the paranoid website! I hope you guys there keep up the excellent work!

So long.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
My 2 cents for this rom.

Its absolutely incredible!!

I dont have none of the problems mentioned above, its super fast, i got no errors whatsoever after 2 days of torturing my phone.

What i'd like to see in the future:

1) More options for navigation bar. To be able to make it not use vibration, color changing of buttons dont actually work, and if possible, to make it use less pixels

2) Another media player, apollo is not good for me
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vimjam:
go SETTINGS>SOUNDS and untick vibrate on touch to stop navigation bar vibration
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
OKay! You guys would get update to Paranoid Version 2.53 might be today mid-night or tomorrow evening :)

The Wallpaper bug is fixed so a good news for you guys too!! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
Nice!

Cant wait dude!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] amadeus2222:
Nice JOb

very good rom ...............

a lot of option, very useful !!

continue on this path

:laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] besttt:
i improove now to change stations from notification bar please test again and report now if the bugs all solved or still excist someone thanks

if you are not at fm radio apk screen and you are at other screen and the radio its on you can change stations from notification bar by double click the arow forward or backward
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
I found a new bug:

There are two camera apps installed by default. The one is working, the other not.

The one which is working simply has version number 1. The other, which is faulty, has 1.1.40000.

You could also explain the update process. Are the steps the same as doing a full install?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Thats bug of cm10 :) cannot resolve it !!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Can we actually apply CM FXP145 instead of FXP144 and then install the ROM?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
better. this is just to build a base for the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leajian:
Should we expect a PA v2.53 ? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Yeah well what I mean is if we will have any benefits to use FXP145 over FXP144.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
for starters,the camera works fine in 145.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
@Cabal2008: I already tried with 145 but had little problems with some Google Apps (they force closed or something). So I went back to 144. I do not know if there are any advantages though, sorry.

Another, little technical issue:

When first installing this ROM I used it with flashing CM10 first. Then Paranoid hangs. I then tried installing it with the suggestion from gordito_gr (see post #22) and it worked!

Is there a reason why you recommend flashing CM10 first? The advice from gordito_gr worked with a charm...

All the best!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
I ve been using cm10 fxp145 for a couple of days..no problems so far.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Rom Updated!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Btw can you change the name of the thread cause it can be misleading for some people.

Also what is new with v2.53? A small changelog is always nice to check out things.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
thank you.changelog please ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Hi! Thanks ... it was on the process :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Keep up the good work mate :) Where do you base your sentence of not being as stable as the first version btw?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
where did u see that its not as stable?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
I installed the rom without installing any FXP (came from gingerbread) and everything worked fine.

Is there a particular reason to install FXP14x first? What would I gain?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
If you check the first page of the thread you will see it under the changelog :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tualek kung:
Look like name of thread about version of rom mistake ?

But no problem, inside download link correct paranoid hybrid v2.53

thank you alot for work hard bro. downloading...now :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
installed, the new version, like i did the 2.25, from the beginning (see post 22)!

Its not working well, cant get rid of hybrid mode, and menus dont seem to respond, it always hangs on me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
FIX updated
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
What kind of fix?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
i still cant get rid of hybrid mode.

Also, i have ti sign in two time at the beggining, one at the initial setup and another one when i ienter play store.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
The title had 2.23 instead of 2.53

That's fixed by Op
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
Same here - cannot get normal/phone mode, only hybrid.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
To tell the truth, now im used to this hybrid mode :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
..text is too small for me in hybrid mode

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

The wallpaper issue remains for me - it dissapears after every reboot

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

I restored parandroid settings I had saved before the update and now the hybrid mode is gone! I am back to phone mode as I wanted :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Those of you who installed v2.53 do you see any improvements in performance? battery life? or anything at all?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
i would not update, as it offers few and is a little more unstable!

PS If you use a non-scrolling wallpaper, you dont get the black screen at boot!

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Ohhh, and i have a feeling that touch screen works better with this rom!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Do you have stock kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
I am happy with the update. I see better response, more fluid motion and as gordito said, the touch seems better. Before it was a difficult to move icons and place then in folder - they were "slippery" - now it is much improved. I cannot say for battery life it it too soon. I would say performance in general is better. I will have more experience tomorrow.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
Yeah, the main reason im keeping this is because of the touch.

Much better indeed.

As for fluidness, i had no complaints from the previous version, it was excellent, this is the same.

I see some small issues, sometimes the lock screen is trembling, or the status bar is with full blue color and other small stuff like that.

As for battery, im not sure.

After 3.30 hours off the charger, and 2.30 hours of screen activity ( :p ) it is on 70% with no performance setting and screen on half brightness.

I guess its normal, since i was restoring 70 apps with TiBa, and also everything with SMS+...

will say more in a couple days!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
gordito are u on FXP144 or on FXP145?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
i have no idea, i installed the boot.img that was inside the rom!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Didn't you flash CM10 after that? The boot.img was for booting into recovery and then flashing everything from there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
No, only flashed the rom, the fix and the gapps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Oh OK, so u flashed it on stock rom or a previous rom, cause FXP 144 still has this annoying issue with youtube videos. I was wondering if the same happens with FXP 145.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Those who are facing FXP 144 problem of Hanging in Menu and stuff ... :)

Go to settings ... paranoid settings.... Tools ... Reset Properties ... if it doesn't work then restore properties ... if also it doesn't work ... do it manually by going in /syste/etc/paranoid/**.prop ... open with notepad In there Hybrid_mode=1 would be there ... make it 0 .. and you are done ... if it still doesn't work then consider replacing your phone's head with any other :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
I heard that's fixed in FxP 145

Now no issues with YouTube
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well if you check the FXP site there is the changelog of FXP146 in which there is a youtube fix but you cannot download FXP146.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Yea right....I too saw that

But can't dl
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
FXP 146 not released yet
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
I know mate... :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
the link to the guide to ParanoidPreferences is broken
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Updated!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well I updated into v.2.53 but the phone is really unstable and laggy. Stuck in lock screen, stuck in home screen, stuck while browsing the menu, even reboot doesn't make it any better at times. I don't know if any of you had the same issues with the new version.

EDIT: v2.53 with CM10 FXP144 and the FXP144 works like a charm, at least for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
Anyone else noticed battery drain?

I didnt push it yesterday and after 20 hours unplugged i have 18% battery left, only 1 hour screen time. I only put interactive governor

Is it the rom or some app?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
My battery life is fine (better than what it used to be on gingerbread I think) - A full days usage yesterday got me to ~45% late at night before recharging (I was on OnDemand governor)

Today I am testing the Interactive gonernor

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

I had a similar (?) issue when I flashed FXP145, then the 2.53, gapps, then the fix and some themes and crap (I didnt wipe). The phone was in its own world, popping up messages about services and processes crashing constantly, would not reboot, or even shut down. I pulled the battery and reflashed 2.53, gapps and the fix => problem solved! Now it works great,no freezes, no problems :good:

(sometimes the screen blinks and messes up the unlock screen, but it quickly corrects itself without locking or freezing - it does not bother me)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
Where do you find FXP144 and FXP145?

What version is included in the rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
I got it from here:

Whin I first installed the rom, I did not install any FXP14x, but then tried to do so, like the instructions in the first post say, but didn't notice any difference so far (I didnt look too hard)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nikomaniaC:
In the instructions it says "RECOVERY: Install CM10 - Any Version After FXP 144". Where can I find that? :)

choose what u like and download xxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-haida.zip
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well when I flashed v2.53 I didn't wipe data also, maybe that was the problem. I don't get what you mean by not flashing 2.53 gapps, there are no seperate gapps anyway. And did you flash the FXP144 Fix over FXP145? Cause I am really annoyed with the youtube problem on FXP144. It's an app I am using daily and it's frustrating having the phone restart every time I am watching a video. That's why I tried FXP145 in the first place.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
Maybe I was not clear. I had parandroid 2.52 installed. I flashed FXP145, then parandroid 2.53, then gapps, then some themes etc. That resulted in unusable phone.

I took out the battery and reflased parandroid 2.53, then gapps, then Paranoid_Fix_FXP144.zip and now the phone is great!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Same thing I did then. Did you reflashed paranoid on FXP145? and the FXP144 Fix on FXP145? And do you have the youtube issue I am talking about?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
Nope, I just installed youtube and it works fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
My first impressions after the update from 2.52 to 2.53:

- I ran into problems with the update process. Using FXP 145 without the fix was not possible

- sysinfo says there is still 2.52 installed

- sometimes display problems. It's like the animations when switching between apps are broken. The phone does not shutdown or something, it is just a bit annoying

I will report everything else I recognize after testing this new version. This process starts today. :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well what I am asking for is if you have FXP145 installed with FXP144 Fix :)

Well flashing FXP145 over FXP144 without wiping data and not flashing the FXP144 Fix makes the phone totally unusable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
Does facebook contacts sync work on your device? On mine it doen not and I really like this feature. Any way to fix it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
At least you could reply to my question also ;) Well I have facebook sync ON, in settings but I do not see any difference in Contacts or in the Calendar as well. So I guess this doesn't work, but there will surely be a workaround, like the one there was with dropbox.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
Yes, I installed FXP145 as I mentioned earlier and it f@cked everything up. My solution was to reflash the rom, no FPX, and flash FIX144 from the 1st post after gapps. This made everything work. Does this answer your question?

If not, try to flash fix144 after fxp145 and tell us what happens
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well what worked for me was the following:

Wipe data / factory reset

Flash CM FXP144

Flash v2.53

Flash the FXP144 Fix

Flash gapps

And everything works like a charm now. Except youtube of course which is a problem of FXP144 and not PA. That's why I asked if you kept FXP145 in the first place. Because if you are on FXP144 with stock kernel you will definitely have youtube playback problems (after 5-10-20 mins of playback phone stuck and reboots on its own).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
I have not tried working youtube that long - only 5-8mins to see if it was ok.

Why not try to install FXP145, then 2.53, fix and gapps to see what happens?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well I might try that, but it's not absolutely essential at the moment, so someone else can try it instead :) Also I am waiting to see when FXP146 will finally be released since their changelog is updated for the last 4-5 days and there is no download yet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
In the end, why do you have to flash FXP first?

I never did that and everything works as a charm!

Only in 2.53, i have huge battery drain.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Fixxxer_K12:
I have no idea - I dont understand see the reason for it.

Anyway about the battery issue, why dont u try reinstalling the rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
just did that.

also noticed that even though it restores some data, it didnt restore my saved wifi passwords, or my system settings.

im talking generally for PA, not just latest edition.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well I think the main reason you base it on FXP is because it works as a vessel for the PA rom. I never tried to install it on a stock ROM, because I was on another ROM before that.

As far as 2.53 goes I think batter consumption is better than 2.52, at least for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
Well, I tested 2.53 today and ran into following problems:

- there seem to be issues with the rendering engine. When adding widgets to one of the home screens, you will see what I mean. There are just some sort of distorted graphics problems when loading them, hard to describe

- the cursor in Google Maps is running amok. Perspective of the route is switching constantly

Also, I do not understand why it is so hard to install this ROM.

I mean: Install FXP, install Paranoid, install fix; come on!

This ROM is just great and the main reason why people are not using it is this huge install procedure. It should be definitely more easy in the future so that more folks can run this ROM: Install kernel, factory reset, install Paranoid, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot, DONE!!

All the best and good luck for the future!

update - 23:18

- for me, the background issue isn't solved

- sometimes connection issues with mobile data. switching this mode on and off doesn't solve the problem. rebooting the phone is required

update, 08.11.12, 10:32

- I had another FC today: Running Apollo, listening to music, then switching to Firefox while listening, wanted to open a page, zing! Back to Paranoid logo start screen. Didn't boot up, so had to take out the battery and reboot again

- Apollo has this weird sound distortion when one track ends and the other begins. The drums or percussions from the next song are ultimately hard, even when the loudness is at 50%

- Apollo sometimes scales the volume down while listening. This happens when the phone rests in the pocket, usually there are no apps open or in the background when it does this. The volume returns back to normal when the next track begins
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Well I don't have any issues with widgets at all. There are some graphics glitches at times, but those are random, and they never happened when I was playing with the widgets. Also the cursor in Google Maps works great for me. Do you have the latest gapps installed?

And I do not understand why u find it hard to install this ROM. The procedure couldn't be simpler. It's really easy to install it, no confusion at all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
I still have issues with battery drain with 2.53, reverting back to 2.52

How do i find themes for that?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
Why don't u use an OC app so you will get ur CPU under-clocked while u are idling?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gordito_gr:
How much less to go under ~180Mhz that it already is?

And why do that?

2.52 was working fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cabal2008:
I do not remember if Apollo is a native app in FXP144 or just in PA. If it's native in FXP there is nothing you can do about it. However the case you can always get another music player from the market that meet your needs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
@Cabal2008: Apollo is part of CM.

Don't get me wrong, I like Apollo, I just don't love it. :silly:

Give it one or two more years and it will surely rock.

I already tried several MP3 players from the market, but so far nothing impressed me really much.

Some don't support LastFM, others don't use DSP (which is a killer feature of CM and one of the best sound enhancements ever).

Do you have any recommendations?

It would be useful to use Walkman as a separate app. Sony did surely a good job there.
