We will agree to disagree. Other music players are 3rd party apps not included in the ROM. Other players like walkman etc are not included so not rom related. Hopefully next release will fix this issue
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dontsurf:
JetAudio works. I haven't had any issues with music players except that the formerly gapless players don't play true gapless on JB. The exception is PowerAmp, but I have the same issue - PowerAmp is just immediately force closing with the new PAC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vodka2oz:
thank u devs for ur effort for this ROM.. especially the battery life
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gmadajczak:
The ROM works fine. Even on N.O.V.A 3 is smooth without lags.

I found, that HDMI doesn't work.

Also the camera has only 8MPix.

I suppose, that those are bugs which you know.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kives:
I had to revert to Kalis 3.0.51 kernel. Couldn't stop bluetooth's battery drain.

Tried to clear cache, several reboots with bluetooth on and off, but nothing helped.

Bluetooth connected fine and functions are all ok, there's only something wrong with the power control.

Now with .51 the bluetooth power consumption is back to normal state.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
camera have 8mp cause you have flashed 4.2 gapps
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Put this in system /app folder and set permissions and reboot for 12mp camera

Thanks a lot for advice!

I done it, but I see, that this is ICS camera not JB.

Could somebody tell me what to do to use HDMI?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
HDMI is an issue because we lack native drivers. Common aosp ones used in these ROMs are not optimised for likes of Sony and Motorola etc.

Prexardo are u sure of this? Did you try restoring let's say system?

Because the new Cwm recovery does differential backup so it will not backup full system on each backup. But just the missing things, that's by design.

As I'm aware is a known CM10/Aosps roms issue, because of drivers.

Download ParanoidPreferences.apk, put it in /system/app, set permissions and reboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fabidesca:
or is this apk?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
Use the PA rom, extract the paranoud perferences from system app. Take the apk and paste it in your mobile to system app. Permissions are the same as the other apps in the folder.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fabidesca:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
Download any of the pa firmwares to pc and use winrar. They have good hosting site, so it doesn´t take long

Hi devs,can you tell me which is difference between this rom and dark passion? Thanx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
This is PAC, the Dark Passion is Paranoid (the P part of Pac) with a huge dark theme. Maybe because it was firstly built to Galaxy Nexus, which uses AMOLED screens. The brighter the pixel, the sooner it dies and more battery is used.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadCobbler:
The name dark passion was first used on the nexus, but me and shingers had been developing the dark themes for aosp roms for a while before that with our work on the Sensation XL
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piponxs:
At the moment I am using dark passion.... about 7 days.. then I saw this rom from same devs,that is why am I asking which is the diference,what includes "all in one"

If you install 4.2 apps (which has the best flash process ever Lmao!) you can still install kali's gallery fix app and have 2 cameras :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
hi guys i've been using dark pation 2.53 and it is super stable. My problem was the CPU was not going in deep sleep during screen off sucking the leaving hell out of my battery! So normally I would make a nendroid backup of PA and restore any other rom .... after few hours restore back to PA and somehow the CPU can enter deep sleep saving the battery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
For the first you do not need Kali's fix because it is included in the rom and secondly you get two cameras with 4.2 gapps (one for jb 4.1 and one for 4.2-nexus4.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
So obviously something from previous install was still running in standby causing battery drain even when idle. Just because screen is off doesn't mean phone is asleep. You need to see if it happens again to see what causes it as if it was the ROM others would have same issues.

yea as this is not a native kernel for this device this can happen...............being on youtube is not a simple task as it invloves graphics and streaming and data so that is anything but simple

we know about this but not all have it...............what rom did you come from? just checking to see if thats the issue as previous rom files could be causing audio conflict. its so strange how some dont have this problem! did you restore apps using TB and when backing did you back up data only from previous rom or data and system? during restore with TB etc some system files are copied back hence causing conflicts

somethings are never gonna work due to the nature of this rom and whats available from sony................if we ever get JB from them things will be much more stable

It's doing well. Much smoother than the previous release. Can't see any difference with Bravia Engine on video though - I wondered if it was working at all - and I didn't have the problems that meant I cared about xloud.

Jb from Sony wont effect this development but actually make it better. Sony ROM wont be aosp so these ROMs will always be around. The drivers from official jb will make this ROM and kernel much better
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
You guys are funny Lol. Only on native Sony ROMs do you get bravia selection. On all other devices and aosp ROMs the files are cooked in. If you cant see any difference then that's the argument that been raging for time across devices. People say it helps other say it doesn't. Tbh these enhancements need stock kernel to really work as aosp kernel works different
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_GB:
well actually it does not work! non of ported BE engine works on any devices!

because i lost mine by unlocking bootloader on Sony device! how other devices are able to have it?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
Before I unlocked the bootloader I couldn´t notice any change when turning on/off.

But after I didn´t see any change too.

I dont´t know why, but I think this BE thing is just marketing from sony to offer us an "cool feature", but in the end I don´t think it does much.

Or can someone explain me how the Bravia Enginge works?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dontsurf:
Yeah, I've no doubt that it's in there, but as I understand it Bravia only works in selected applications anyway, those semc native applications like gallery. There might be a difference in any video app, but I don't ever remember caring about Bravia before the discussion started here.

I just miss the semc gallery. Easily one of the best ones out there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Mate look around you. Most Samsung devices like note 1, gs2, sgs, dhd, one x, sxl etc.etc all have bravia ports that work. I know cause I've had all these phones and more so I don't post without knowing what I am talking about. There is an ongoing debate on whether it makes that much of a difference any way but its in the Rom. Common sense should tell you that the effect it will have on a aosp Rom will obviously be less than on a sony stock Rom. You cannot compare the 2 as stock has all the drivers and coding to make bravia work better than aosp
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_GB:
i have already compared my device with my friends' sola! you can notice the difference right away!

i noticed that quickly after upgrading to ICS! dont know why u cant!

well this is what im talking about!!

i have so many friends with android devices and most of them have BE ported!

i compared my device with them side by side! (when i was on GB)

i couldn't see any BE effect on their devices! even on sony stock Rom & device, it only works with semcAlbum.apk

what im thinking is, Bravia works or not! i dont think we have range of effects!

correct me if im wrong?

bravia is not working on my device with stock rom because of unlocked bootloader!

i cant see any difference in ur rom either!

perfect rom for me!

you can't overclock since FXP team found that msm8260 is too prone to heat

if you still would like to overclock (i found it's a bad idea.. but couldn't be your case.. look at this kernel)

and I was wondering why you should fix permission, if then the system is formatted :\

anyone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
You can overclock the phone.

Back when we only had GB and the DoomKernel you could overclock til 1800MHz. So don´t say you can´t.

It´s just that overclocking doesn´t bring you much more speed. It´s barely noticable, and if you overclock too high (>1,7GHz) you phone gets unstable.

You can always compile your own kernel and add new overclock speeds, as the developer of the kernel you linked did.

Noticed some Bluetooth issues today in the car.

Connected to a Sony head unit, the BT audio works fine, and so does receiving calls. But when I'm trying to make a call from the headset, the head unit loses the connection and brings up a pairing message. Pairing doesn't work and it just keeps requesting to be paired. But THEN when I pick up the phone and dial out from the phone instead of using the head unit, BT starts working again and it dials out through the car speakers and mic.
