Hikari & Nussbaum's builds differences

Both are from last FXP update and M66B improvements and both work very fine!

Crt is present on both.

If you don't like it: Settings / Developer options / Windows animation scale: select 0.5x or Animation off

The differences:

- The most important is Linaro kernel on M66B and Nussbaum's roms.

Personally I'm not an expert, and with my usage, I have not really found differences in performances compared with Hikari's one... :o

This may be the explanation of a few rare lags found Nussbaum and not Hikari.

- Hikari fixed some layout more.

- Hikari has not selected Pdroid and cell broadcast alerts features.

- M66B and Nussbaum use same kernel logo. Hikari Xperia one (my favorite logo)

If you see something else...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
do you under clock you cpu and not feel any lags? I mean, 800mhz max, playing temple run minimum of 200mhz. Have you tried it without experiencing any lags?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
performance is smooth and fluid

wow. this jb rom is really smooth. Its a lot better than any ICS ROMs outh there! ...gonna test it thorughly and report back 2 days later. BTW thanks to the developer! 5 star + news worthy thread!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
After restoring a backup to well working v5 using CWM, I was able to upgrade to v8.1.

What I noticed is that the browser is flashing in black on some sites because of flash player. When I uninstalled it, the browser is not flashing in black like mad on these sites. But the problem with the dropping site-frames while scrolling still persists.

And when I left the phone untouched for more than 5 mins, the display needs the power button to be pressed to be activated again. Only the menu button itself does not the work - it turns on the display for less than a second, and then it goes black again, before i can unlock it.

What was the way to bring CRT screen off here working?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
It works by default! ;)

It's the horontal white flash when screen off... (I thought it was a bug :laugh:)

If you want to disable this feature:

Settings / Developer options / Windows animation scale: select 0.5x or Animation off
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
Xmmm, by me... it's not working well. After the screen locks with the white line and goes black the whole lockscreen flashes for less than a second again and then the display goes black again. Obviously there is a problem by me.

With which program do you guys backup your settings, programs and contacts/messages? Because I've had a lot of problems with a backup made in CM10 with titanium backup root, and then when I went to back CM9.1 and restored system settings bootloop appeared. And what's also annoying is that titanium backup asks for every single program, whether to install it, and after that whether to open it.

Steph310, do you have similar experience with the browser as me?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
You did not follow my advice in properly installing the rom ...

I've told you, Hikari & Nussbaum 'roms work perfectly.

Your problems come from the passage of CM9 to CM10 with multiple flashes and wipes.

About browser, it works well. For Flash it is not always perfect. Anyway there are alternative bowsers

But your problem is first to have a rom working fine!

I use the very good Titanium but it is not recommended when you change rom (ICS>JB). A manual installation is better.

The majority of user apps work but restore all system applications is not recommended! Buggy rom like you...

Then, install last stock rom,

wipe if you want but never system!

Flash new kernel, new rom and new gapps

Reboot. Now you have finally a clean and fonctionnal rom.

Only after use Titanium if you want for some user apps, no system ones!

Once the first CM10 correctly installed, updates will be fine without wipe.

You will be able make a new full backup with Titanium and future eventual restorations will work perfectly this time (user & system apps) with the next CM10.

Added, with some more...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steve_Joe:
Is this normal ?

After update from Nussbaum extended to hikari extended
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmmm...if you got two CRT animations back to back after screen lock, that is a sign of lockup...even on original Extended Roms by M66B, you will get this lockup a few times....

i couldn't find any solution for this lockup (except for turn off animation)....i have try using default setup (performance) but still having lockup a few times...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Thanks for your detailed report, I like that!

Modules are required, because the kernel is compiled with Linaro and the modules need to be compiled by Linaro too.

I am not sure what I am going to do with the Wi-Fi power save, but I prefer a stable phone that can connect to buggy hotspots while I am travelling. I am quite sure my router at home is not buggy (since it runs highly customized firmware) and even then the Wi-Fi power save is not working okay when the signal gets weaker (resulting in continuous re-connects, which will probably consume more power than having no Wi-Fi power save).

Suggestions for settings: try SmartassV2 with min 24 MHz, SIO and disable all the memory settings, especially KSM.

Autogroup and the low memory killer change merge requests for the kernel will most probably not be accepted, like most kernel changes.

This is the main reason why there is an extended kernel.

And yes this is the "officially unofficially" thread about the extended kernel/ROM ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
What is abnormal?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steve_Joe:
Clear notification it must be right and not in left with setting

I will share normal clear notification
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steve_Joe:
This is normal
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Before answer you, I installed last 20121228 Nussbaum's built and it's the same thing that Hikari's one...

But I agree you, right corner place is much better to close all notifications (and this is like that in older builts...)!

Recent changes in the layout, I think...

@M66B, Hikari & Nussbaum, can you fix this little anomaly please?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
Sorry, but what means this lockup? And it's not so confusing to me as it is the unlock screen bug - the need to press the power button before the menu button, to unlock the screen. And even more bad is that sometimes it needs multiple pressing of the power button to be able to turn on the display with the menu button for more than half a second. Sometimes it turns on only with the menu button pressed, and there is no sequence in the order of appearance of the bug.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
First install perfectly your rom as I explained. Remember, in your case no system app restoring with Titanium (to not restore bugs)!

After we'll see if these problems are still there. There is no reason because Hikari's built works perfectly and I never had your problems.

You will see that! :victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
I don't think its from M66Bs patches, might be fixed in CM10 though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...lockup means that your phone is stuck (blackscreen after lock) and you cannot wake it up even by pressing hardware button (home, volume, menu, back or power button)....only after a few second after lockup, your phone will return as normal and pressing those hardware button will wake it up (turn the screen on)....

it may could be bug or something wrong in personal setting + build.prop tweak (if you put any tweak on it)......
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
It's not a bug of rom itself.

Stettings? I don't know how. Buggy install of rom or otherwise launcher/lockscreen app problem I think... (but I not expert!)

You come from CM9.1 or stock ICS? You use a complete restoration with Titanium?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
do you have screen off and lock app?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Disable aGps

Settings included in CM10 can not disable AGPS?

Uncheck "wi-fi & mobile network location" is not enought?

We will absolutely have to change build.prop?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
Hi there, how much do you undervolt your cpu settings. As I observed in the vddlevels, 24mhz is still 900mv like 134mhz and 240mhz. Can you give me your undervolted voltage table or a script to use? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm....i have using Extended Roms since FXP149....starting experiences this lockup on FXP151 till now....never use/install Titanuim backup....

Hmmm...no....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
maybe you restored apps from titanium backup. I also experienced this so-called lockup you are calling this morning but after I uninstalled screen off and lock application, and set delayed screen lock to 1 second, (you can find this in settings>lock screen> lock screen security) it was gone. I don't know what caused it but it surely is already gone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
I have one, and I always had! Lockscreen - Spanish from the playstore. But that's not the case, because the problems with that CM10 appeared all 4 times I did install, it before I began the restore with titanium backup.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...perhaps you didn't read my post carefully before this....

let me tell you again.... "Never Use/Install Titanium Backup"......

how can i restore something when i don't even install the apps on my phone???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
I think these are M66B's personal settings. They are NOT included in his ROM.

Oh sorry for that I haven't read all your posts, I was just trying to help you. :D

did you try the things I suggested? about delay device locking?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
its okay :laugh: ....thank you for the help :highfive:

i have try almost everything...the only way to fixed the lockup is to disable the animation but that is not the best way to fully fixed it...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
It's strange because I did not experience it while animation is on. Maybe it happens when battery is low? Or when your phone is on deep sleep for a long time? I noticed it happened to me this morning when I woke up, but after doing the steps I have posted it never came back. hehehhe..:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steve_Joe:
Could anyone upload gallery2.apk for me :) i testing 4.2 camera and i forgot to backup my rom :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The reason is this change in CM, which will most likely be in the next FXP release too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Strange and pity because of the old roms it worked very well and it was much more convenient on our small screens (like recent applications) :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

You'd better flash rom and gapps (without any wipe) to avoid conflicts and problems (it takes less than 10 minutes)...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
OK, I did what you told me here and the result is... I "enjoy" a never ending bootloop! Happy now?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
You have only trebuchet as launcher?

You use stock lockscreen?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
First check if the ROM/kernel are for your device.

You should not have a bootloop if you flash the kernel and ROM and do a factory reset before starting the ROM, so try this first before restoring/customizing anything.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
If I do factory reset, what happens to the freshly installed gapps? I don't know what launcher i have now, since the rom is stuck on the booting logo - the Cyanogenmod circle.

EDIT:Now it booted. let's do some checks with the lockscreen bug...

The problem seems to be this program

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5rYXRlY2NhLnNjcmVlbm9mZmxvY2siXQ

When I lock the screen using the power button, the unlock after that is ok only with menu button, but when I use this app to lock it, on the unlock with menu button the display flashes shortly and goes black again.

So with which app do you lock your screens?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauam:
I use the old school power button :D, no problems at all:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moezaka:
the bug is not rom or kernel related, it's app related cuz i had the same app installed on both stock ics and on cm10, and on both of them that bug occurred, don't blame the devs.

Edit: i used this app cuz i listen to music a lot and i own an iluv city lights with no mic so i can't switch songs, have to turn the screen on and i don't want to keep squeezing either the power button or the up volume button but as i said i had that bug made me looking for an alternative so i currently use this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wNCwiaXQuYW5kcm9pZC5zbWFydHNjcmVlbm9mZnBybyJd

give it a try , it's a bit different but gets the job done for me, but i only use it temporary when am listening to songs then switch back to normal power key the rest of the time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
Well since Xperia X10 mini till now on ST15 I was using this app with various versions of android - this problem occurs by me for the first time on this rom, actually this version of it, because in v5 there wasn't such bug.

As I tried another lockscreen app from the playstore, I found out that this rom can not work with lockscreen apps, since the same bug appeared again - that's very annoying. Could this be changed from Settings? Screen lock not only pressing power button but with additional app?!

Thanks to all for helping me solve the problem, although the reason wasn't none of your assumptions!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moezaka:
try this, looks the same to me :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...smartscreenonlite&feature=more_from_developer

now let's stop spamming the thread with unrelated posts :)

edit: just gave this app a run, it's more than amazing, highly recommended, works flawlessly so far if you're looking for an alternative power button
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
That is not necessary, read the start post.

Everybody and every discussion is welcome here, as long as it is somehow related to the extended ROM/kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dhallbhoo:
Dont use that apps, i have the same problem if i used that. Try to change

It with others apps.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
There are a few screen off apps on the market, which still do the job with one little remark - when they turn the screen off it turns on for a couple of seconds as if the menu button has been pressed to unlock it, and then goes black. But no problem with the unlock.

It would be nice if this incompatibility of the ROM version with those screen off apps could be resolved, cause the continuous pressing of the power button is annoying.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Do you disable ctr screen off before use these apps?

If this is not the case, do it and tell us if it works better.

(settings/developer options/windows animation scale: test with off and 0,5 value)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
why did u guys use those apps anyway?

cm10 already got "go to sleep" toggle and it works great. press it and screen goes off and cpu goes to sleep instantly.

Updated from Stock ICS..

Just a quick heads up for anyone making the jump from stock ICS...you can officially thank FXP and M66B...this ROM is as close to official Jelly Bean as you are going to get!

What I did:

Unlocked bootloader

Flashed CM10 Extended Kernel (to get CWM)

Flashed CM10 Extended + GAPPS JB from CWM

Full wipe

That's it! The only thing I found not to be working was the Panorama function of the camera but I see that's already a reported bug and honestly pretty useless anyway. Besides that, it's perfect. Thank you for your efforts!

...now, to update my signature :)

No I don't disable it, but if I disable it that doesn't change anything.

an0nym0us_, so how do you use the widget? By every time pulling the notification drawer to lock the phone? That's exactly so uncomfortable as pressing the power button. Much faster to have a shortcut on the home screen.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
To each its own. I always use apex, so i can just set apex gesture with swipe down to open notification drawer. Then just click the toggle widget. Elegant and just works :thumbup:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Some screen off solutions

Activate CM10 toggle:

Settings / system / Notification drawer / widget buttons / Go to sleep

The toggle is now in notification drawer then yes, you need pulling the notification drawer to click...

But it's easy and it works fine!

Then, if you absolutely want your widget, I tested for you widgetsoid

It is free and works on Hikari's built!

To finish, if you want not at all manipulation is possible!

The screen stays on during use, automatic locking when you rest your phone (horizontally)

This is Screebl

(tested, it works on Hikari's built too)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aristone:
Thank you so much! This will make CM10 perfect, I'd love having access to encrypted partitions for recovery :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
And we have a winner!

It was quite an adventure, but I have twrp working, including backup.

I didn't try restore yet, but I trust it will work.

And I don't believe anybody anymore who said they have built twrp for CM10 from sources.

Look at the patch and you will see why. twrp is completely broken on CM10.

The patch and the script is available for the self builders.

OMFG, you're the man:laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
awesome man.....

Any idea how to setup dual recovery ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, I have, but I am not going to do that.

But the theory: based on the keycheck, handled in combinedroot/init.sh you could start the one or the other recovery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
the keycheck thing i know that too but the ting is will both the recoveries will get compiled or not ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Of course you have to compile both recoveries, but if you want to integrate that into the CM build, you have some work to do.

You'll need two recovery ramdisks which will be chosen by the keycheck.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
I wanted to ask which file controls which recover will get compiled and other work I will try to do myself
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gandhar:
instead of using patches(not that anything is wrong with it), why don't you use git?

would be much easier to follow the progress + contribute.

also changing a few lines in the manifest, compiling cm with your changes would be much easier..

i'm saying all the changes, not just twrp but the device trees and the kernel too..

think about it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I replaced CWM recovery by TWRP by adding this to the local manifest:

<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery" />
<project name="TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project" path="bootable/recovery" remote="github" revision="jb-wip" />

And for the other details, see these files:

http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/patches/twrp.patch

http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/patches/update.sh

Edit: when switching recovery also do this:

rm -R ~/android/system/bootable/recovery
rm -R ~/android/system/.repo/projects/bootable/recovery.git
repo sync

that is easier than fixing git problems ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
Thanks I will try.

I like the twrp but want the cwm too. Don't know why !!!
