My Xperia U is currently in repair ( touchscreen issue ) so I didnt get a chance to check the final release but I'm sure it should work fine.. Anyway, let me know Guys :)

Download :

Download Fixed Version

EDIT : FCs fixed and Low Volume issue also resolved (Improper Permissions given to su caused that problem ;) )

For users still having issues with low audio, permissions issue might be the case. Just flash this file by CWM to fix permissions :) Its applicable for the Fixed Version here as well ! Patch File
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
Will test this soon :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] momtaror:
ScreenShot plzzz :)

Thank for you ROM :D .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
Getting persistent FC's , Low sound.

Flashing back to kings right away :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] uao:
im getting the same error/FC as sxrmafia!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GEKTHEBOSS:
Try fix permissions from recovery;)

Motivami a continuare il develop cliccando Thanks/

Keep up my develop hitting Thanks!!!

:)_;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Actually it was a mistake on my part in zipping files :P I'm uploading the new version right now.. Slow net speed + the fact that it took me forever to get a friend's phone to test it ( my phone was in repair ) caused the delay :( Sorrry for anyone who hhad inconvenience cause of this ! A few more mins guys :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
What about the audio stutter / crackling issue ? Add to that the low volume :(

Is it a hardware issue on all U's ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
The low volume was a stupid thing on my part :( As GekTheBoss stated like a Boss, permission issues caused the root to not work & AC!D Audio Engine couldnt run because of that.. Hence the low volume...

Stuttering and all, I havent noticed till now :confused: Not on my rom or any other for that matter, Might be h/w bug with your mate unless I am going sound-deaf :p

And btw, Sorry abt the original zip which was scrwed up :( Ill upload a small fix file for it later :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
How is the audio on you device ? Clear ? Do you hear any crackling sounds in between in some songs ?

Lastly what version of Ac!d have u integrated in the ROM ? I have tried V5 and it messes with the phone apk resultant the Contacts FC's.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Listened to a song in full and well, no issues for me.. Crackling might be due to xloud not working properly on stock. I added Team AC!D's Audio Engine and it works fine for me :) Stuttering, it could be that your processor is overloaded with workload or maybe, the Governor is underclocking it too much at times if you're Bootloader unlocked with Custom Kernel.. Hardware issue also possible. Cant rule that out :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amirzano:
Is there unlocked BL version coming ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Actually, I think you could just do the same instructions as Locked and it would work.. Can you try and confirm ? Sorry Its my first time with a Locked Bootloader device :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tzaq93:
This clean rom is a great ideea. Please fix the bugs :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Glad you liked the idea ;) I actually got the idea from King's Rom (Too bad Alen moved onto Nexus ) and what bugs mate ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AlenKing:
Nice work man thanks for mentioning me in you creds an now am working on my version of 4.2 for Gnex S so I will soon check your build and PM you with my opinions and advices ;) keep it testing and improving :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Its the least I could do dude :p And best of luck with 4.2 :p and yeah, if you get a chance to check out my rom, thatd be awesome :D Cheers buddy :highfive:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Chukudu:
Screenshots..!!!

These are the screenshots from ICS Lite Beta :cowboy:

Works good.. Thank you :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Thank you Chukudu for the Screens :) Glad you liked it :p I've added your screens to the Main post with your name :highfive: Let me know if you have any suggestions :p

PS, 53 downloads and only 3 Thanks ? :crying: Come on guys, help a Dev out here ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] n2droid:
Multiple thanks if you can remove that god-awful Camera shortcut in the lockscreen with GB's mute!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Ill see what I can do ;) You can remove uxpnxtlocktscreen.apk from System/app with Root Explorer to get the stock ICS lockscreen :) Hope you liked the rest of it :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wisnuhadi23:
Can anyone confirm that tethering works fine on this ROM ? Because I had the whole I was on .54 and this ROM is based on it. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
If it works on stock firmware, it should work fine on my rom too. I havent messed around with any of the drivers or wifi module.etc so it should work fine. If you have any issue,let me know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
NO Root in latest version

There is no root access in the latest version. It fails.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
I am getting an error while tethering and am unable to tether , its very essential for me , however i don't think i can blame your rom for this as same has happened to me when i flashed stock .54. Overall the Rom is super fantastic, butter smooth , my audio issue is resolved as well no more crackling :)

I would like to use this as a daily rom if you can fix the tethering part.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
I think you made a mistake somewhere mate.. Root works fine. Can you provide more details/screen ?

Glad you liked it dude :p and Tether, was it working in .10 ? Ill look into it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
Yes it was working on .10
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Had another .54 custom ROM installed previously (Infinity ROM, root worked there). I installed this on top of that. I will install a fresh stock .54 and then this again and report back.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
ah Yeah.. thats probably it :) Since this rom derives entirely from stock .54, you might get some issues.. let me know how it works out :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Yep, that was it! Thanks for the ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Good to hear ;) Enjoy mate ! Ps: Please click the Thanks button if you like the Rom ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rippledrums:
Hi,

I'm loving your rom but I get FCs in Xperia Home (using Nova as default) so I had to freeze it in Titanium.

I also get FC in Settings if I try to do anything to the (Spanish?) APN that comes in stock.

Is there a way to remove it?

Also, a while ago I was listening to music and I heard a crackling sound and the volume got very low and I had to restart the phone.

I changed from Superuser to SuperSU, could that be the reason? What are the correct permissions for the su binary?

Another thing I noticed was that it seems slower than King's playing games although I got a score of 7176 in AnTuTu.

Otherwise, this rom is close to perfection. :)

Nice work!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Hey man, Im glad you liked my rom :)

Firstly, Xperia Home is crashing ? I think perhaps your install got corrupted somewhere because Ive asked a few friends to try it out and well, they didnt run into any such issue. Plus, I've been using the same launcher (Xperia GX by serajr) even before I made this rom and not 1 fc to date :p

The Spanish APN, even I had issues Im thinking it had something to do with permissions, Ill remove it in next release. Alternatively, you can just cut out the apn by opening apns-conf.xml from etc folder with any Root file Explorer :)

Sound issues arent likely cause I use AC!D Audio Engine and it worked fine for most peope. A few people had audio issues on .10 but not on .54.. And its possible Root issue caused that since losing root permission automatically nulls AC!D Engine.. Ive set 06755 as permissions for su binary. So Rwxr-xr-x should fix it :)

And running slower, I dunno maybe you have more apps running or something ? Thats the only likelihood because every mod in King's Rom is also there in mine and few more too. The only significant changes would be the few apps/mods I added to it. and that shouldnt affect performance.

I think maybe your rom install got corrupted or something because the launcher fcs and audio issue noone else had.. Try flashing a stock .54 ftf and reinstalling the rom if you can. I think that might solve your issues!

Anyway, thank you for trying out my rom :) Im here to help so reply here/message me if you have any more doubts :D

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hbk10:
dude thnx for the good ROM everything works fine n smooth. . but im experiencing a weird bug i.e, volume is tooooooo low . . i followed the flashing procedure correctly. . can u tell me wy im facing this . .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Glad you like it mate :) Wait for v1.1.. Should be a hell of a lot better :P Coming soon ! :D

And regarding the low audio, not everyone getting that issue only some.. Anyway, after checking it on a friend's phone, I saw that permissions issue was causing trouble.. So try this patch file I uploaded via CWM.. Should fix it :p

Patch File

and thanks for trying out my rom :p

Added that same file to Original Post ;) Hit thanks if it helped :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Actually what I observed even after applying the update is that with Dolby turned on form within the Walkman application, the sound is low. If you

- Turn off the Dolby

- Unplug phones

- Exit Walkman app

- Re-plug phones

- Listen to music

..then the sound is normal. But that is not the desired functionality.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Hm.. Thx for that mate.. I will check into that. Its an issue with permissions but I cant understand why some people get it and others dont :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rippledrums:
Hey,

Everything is running smooth now. :)

But I can't seem to use other boot animations. Is this normal?

I noticed the title of the thread has changed.

Does this mean there's a new release 1.0? Or you just changed from Beta 1 to v1.0?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Glad you like it mate :p Let me know of any issues.etc you have and Ill look into them :) And bootanimations should work just fine cause I never modified any settings on them. What sort of issues do you get when you do so ?

And actually, Beta was this release I made which I couldnt check cause my phone was in repair. I posted a properr version after testing in a few hours and didnt change the title then lol Nice attention to detail ;) Anyway, v1.1 is nearby so hope you can wait along for the ride :D

Also, made small changes to the patch.If you can download & flash,would be nice.. Strangely enough, different people are having different permissions issue :confused: Audio worked fine for mine as well as a friend's without any hotfix.. Another 2 or 3 phones required my hotfix. And again had to update it to make it working more.. Long story short, odds are the newer the hotfix, More likely it'll make sure that your rom works :good: And simpler story still, Wait a day or two and Ill release v1.1 :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rippledrums:
I tried downloading the patch but it says the link is invalid or the file was deleted.

Could you check please?

I'll be waiting for v1.1. No turning back now, since I want my phone fully working and your ROM being stock based ensures it does with no bloatware. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Oops forgot to change the link :| My mind doesnt function well when it wakes up from a 1 hour sleep lol Ill change it now.. and Glad you like my rom ;) Ill be adding C.1.10 support too :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Stock Music App

Why not use stock music app?? this one is exactly the same in functionality and has as only option that ugly purple color that does not fit with the blue light I use. Also, it is a SONY device. Why not throw away all Dolby things, its sound was already very good!. Just for lightness's shake...;)...I mean keep the only things necessary for the ROM to operate and let the user decide what programs he wants to install...Like that notes program, I don't think everybody uses it. Those are of course only suggestions. It is a good ROM, but again too much RAM consumption. Why? I have tested about 10 different ROMs with many differenta options, almost everything possible. Why SUCH a big problem with RAM? I have an old ZTE Skate and it is much snappier, after boot it has about 250+ free RAM. SONY's bloatware is well hidden inside the stock ROMs, and thus in the stock based custom ROMs. We need something VERY pure. Something like AOSP or CM. But they are not yet fully operating. God damn it, one time could I get a device and be happy with it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
I see your point mate. Ill be removing the Walkman app in next release. But I think Ill keep AC!D Tech cause it really does boost audio alot and that I've confirmed.. Anything else you'd like removed ? Ill look into your suggestions though :)

Also, just one last thing, Can you open your build.prop file in system folder and check if this string "ro.semc.sound_effects_enabled=1" without the quotes is there ? :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxrmafia:
Any updates on the Tethering bug ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Sorry man I didnt get time to fix that yet :( Alot of people were having permisssions issue with Audio so was quite busy with that.. Anyway, this rom will work fine on .10 f/w so flash that instead of .54 for now and it should work fine :) Also, Im pretty sure it'll work with C.10 as well but I havent tested yet :(

Ill be releasing v1.1 soon which will support all 3 roms.. And ofc, Ill make sure tethering is fixed by then ;)

Sorry for delay :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Hmmmmmmm I have another custom kernel installed on top of your ROM. So the build.prop is changed. Then this must be the cause of the problem!!! I will try it and report back! Also check to see if everybody with the same problem had another kernel installed on top of your ROM because that might be the cause of it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hbk10:
there is no ro.semc.sound_effects_enabled=1 string in my build.prop. .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Do you have a custom kernel installed AFTER you installed this ROM? Do the Dolby/ACID sound effects work for you correctly?

If NO/NO we have a problem.

If NO/YES then the problem for the low sound is located elsewhere.

If YES/NO then add the line to the build.prop and reboot and check the sound again.

If YES/YES then the problem for the low sound is located elsewhere.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hbk10:
no i have not installed any custom kernel. . im facing low audio bug i.e, dolby/acid effects dont work. . everything else works fine. .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
Add the line in the build.prop and check if the low sound problem persists.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hbk10:
i tried adding the line but no use. . the problem still persists. . :( should i add it under certain header/heading. . :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whashnez:
I don't think so. It is just a flag for the kernel. Maybe the creator of the ROM will know further...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Considering that some people are getting issues and others are not( and they have different settings installed as well :? ) I think it'll be simpler if you just wait till I release v1.1 ( hopefully, within 3 or 4 hours ;) ) Ill see if there is any other setting that might be at fault but honestly, Im a bit confused right now :|
[HTC One X] Karolix21:
Hi everyone...I recently got a hold of a one X with CID ORANG001. Hboot 1.12 i think....i did my fair amount of googling but i am still unsure,are there any alternate roms available other than the stock orange one?i realized that it hasn't a 4.1.1 cid compatible firmware yet but can the stock rom be changed and how?

Thanks in advance...
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Pretty much all ICS ROMs will work, which means the older versions of the ROMs located in Development section. Also, all CM10, AOSP, AOKP ROMs will work on older hboots. First you need to unlock the bootloader of your device. You can look around for more instructions.
[HTC One X] ExoticMe:
Every ics + aosp+aokp+cm bassed roms

Sent from my Phone :-\
[HTC One X] Karolix21:
In order to get 4.1.1 update orange has to officially release it correct...?Does anyone have any news about when can we alter the CID and use international roms?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Correct.

For changing cid we need s-off which doesn't seem to be achieved any time soon.

Sir I'm not trying to be rude,but this has been posted countless times.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Pvt WhoOkid:
I'm pretty sure, it will be posted a million times more, and when you mention it's already been posted they get all pissy and claim no this is different.... lol oh well! chime in mod.

cant confirm if its for our phone but looks good!

edit: just contacted seller and he said it DOES fit the Nexus 4 perfectly! i might give this a shot guys..also available in black
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
dont waste your time with those bumpers, i bought similar ones for gnex and they were garbage, the rubber will start pealing from the pastic after a few weeks or sooner if you take it off and on too much. I bought a black and white one, the white one had a hole in a random spot. they look and feel very cheap, i paid $7 for them and felt like i was ripped off.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
Why is one corner open seems like a bad design
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ssskom:
yeah. a hole on one of the corners seems a bit weird
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 19phil67:
15$ for that bumper is expensive. I prefer pay 10$ more (with shipping fees) and get the original one. On Amazon, the price is more reasonnable ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Mootarjim:
The Google bumper is great, feels like it was always meant to be on the device, and doesn't add noticeable bulk. I'd recommend shelling out the extra bucks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kcbboy:
not sure if I agree with the noticeable bulk part. The device doesn't feel thicker but it definitely feels wider and takes some getting used to. I love the bumper for the most part and it definitely has grown on me but then when I take it out and feel the device naked the difference is night and day.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
at the amazon price, ordered one for everyone I know with a N4 lol. I already ordered one for myself but I'm sure they will enjoy them too.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Landara:
I recently upgraded to 4.2.1(ParanoidAndroid 2.9.9) and the new camera(which I assume is the standard Google 4.2 camera) is very basic, and very weak compared to what I had. The old camera(which was also Google stock) had a lot of filters built in, and some hilarious distortions such as "Big Eyes" and "Big Head". My kids LOVE those. They are now gone, as is most of the awesome functionality I had. In it's place is Photo Spheres which I personally consider useless. Is there a way to get my old camera back? I don't want to be stuck on 4.1.1 forever but I hate this new camera!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sark666:
You can install camera ICS from the market. The layout isn't exactly the same ( I assume it's mimicking the ICS camera layout) but it will give you back the filters, funny faces. And yes I wondered the same thing why did google remove them. Kids get tonnes of laughs out of those. I'd love to know how those decisions are made... 'Hey you know those features we've had in the wild for over a year? Yeah let's remove them'
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] chismay:
my exact thoughts also, when i had the 16gb nexxy i updated and was VERY annoyed to find the effects deleted, so much it was one of the "cons" that pushed me into refunding for a non-updated 32gb version :D

im still 4.1 now lol i seriously dont understand why google would :

A: release nexus 7 without a camera app.....(yea i do know why but lame excuse)

B: when you update to 4.2 it deletes any camera app and replaces it with dah dah duh daaaaa a broken one with non-working photosphere.....wtf?

sooooooo mmmmm yeah ill remember this thread when i come to updating :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Removing those "cute" functions is one thing, but how is the 4.2 camera "broken"?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Landara:
Well I assume he meant the PhotoSphere which as best I can tell is not functioning correctly. I have not yet gotten it to work at all.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Xcutionr:
How come i didn't get a camera? I'm on PA 2.99 beta 6.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Because it's not supported for front facing cameras? That's not broken, that's design.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Landara:
First of all, the app doesn't know which way your camera is facing, nor does it care. Second, I didn't even try it on my Nexus 7, I tried it multiple times on my Galaxy Nexus. Still broken. Never got a decent result. You may say it's operator error, but that's a ridiculous statement as well because it's pretty self explanatory.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] chismay:
ok so look basically it would be very stupid putting diesel into a petrol as it wouldn't work......

acer made it to remove any cam app we had previously then installed a app exactly the same but without the working effects, .... only 1 broken one..photosphere,

saying that its supposed to only work with a front face cam....well then why go to the trouble of jacking our old app and putting one with a feature we cant use......? :good:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Element515:
Just saying, the app does know which way the camera faces... I assume something in the data for the camera tells the app its front facing. This is probably useful for apps such as Skype too.

When you try photo sphere, it says sorry not supported with front camera.
