[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Could you please add this to the FAQ?

I will build and release FXP201 kernels/ROM's for iyokan and mango today and TWRP will be included.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
Is there a chance to circumvent this inconvenient exchange of files by changing TWRP?

Xperia mini (smultron), CM10extended 152 by FXP & M66B, find my smultron builds, FAQ and tweaks here: https://sites.google.com/site/smultextcm/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
We can try to ask Team Win to support the old API too, but I am afraid the choice has been made.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
@M66B, does twrp needs to be that way in ramdisk, i mean to pack it as cpio archive?

possible to make it work like cwm which integrated into ramdisk in /sbin directory?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
This was recently changed in CM.

CWM is now integrated in the same way.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...30-common/blob/jellybean/combinedroot/init.sh

Edit: relevant commits:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28885/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28886/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28893/

Last one for mango, but there is a commit for all devices.

This will be in FXP201 too.

A nice consequence is that a gaping security hole was fixed in the process.

adb always had root permissions, independent of the development settings.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
dang it.. cm always made such decision that would made things harder :/

so its still possible is it to just unpack the twrp cpio archive and made it to work with stock ics kernel? or the twrp need to be recompile again to make it work in such way?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I guess you can just unpack the recovery ramdisk and use it.

A little request: could you look into encryption with CM10?

The TWRP I compiled has encryption support.

(one of the main reasons I put a lot of time into getting it working)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] benjpopfilter:
Can I just flash this kernel without the need to reinstall my real ics r6 Rom?

Any issues or conflict if I do that?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
This kernel is only for CM10. Your device will get into a bootloop if you flash this kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
Ok, for the last few days running this rom I can report my experience:

- It's smooth, amazingly smooth for JB, but the battery performance seems to be the weakest link. It makes hardly 20 hours with intensive use.

- The browser shuts down unexpectedly while surfing mobile versions of sites on which the browser of CM9.1 does not experience problems. I dont know whats the reason for that, whether it is not enough system memory or what, but the browser is still unstable.

- No sudden reboots till now, but I would like to wait a little bit more to say my final conclusion about them.

- Sometimes while listening music (I use Hikiplayer for that - a comfortable folder player) the music stops for a second or two, then continues playing. I used many governors, but no one seems to help with that.

- Viewing the gallery app while listening music stops the music player. Quickpic is a little bit lighter app for that and behaves better (shuts down the music harder if it does in general).

- Incompatibility with screen off apps which was not to be seen in earlier versions such as v5 of the rom. So the screen needs to be locked with power button.

As a conclusion the rom is ok for daily use with some little remarks about it's performance. Nice job! I hope it will get even better!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The FXP201 based kernels/ROMS for Xperia Pro (iyokan) and Xperia Mini Pro (mango) are available for download now.

Most notable changes:

Enabled aGPS again

Disabled Wi-Fi power save

No reduced brightness

Replaced CWM recovery by TWRP 2

See the extended kernel/ROM page for more details.

Make a backup with CWM recovery before installing anything.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
That's because i remove a lot of stuff that i don't need. I am gonna make a list of the files that i removed and post it here :). And you can decide what's best for you :)

EDIT: 6974 in antutu with swap from system: 1.4 Ghz; smartass2; deadline. Before i had like 6900. Performance increase. Swap from system is stable, but i guess it uses more the flash memory so reduces it's life.....well it's not that i am gonna have this phone even for 3 years or so :) For me is OK

EDIT2: Here you go the list of removed files. It's just that i left the system as barebone. I don't use ANT, google voice, search from google, wap push, video edit, default browser etc. You can see for yourself what you need to remove and what not :). Also i removed a lot of stuff from system/usr/srec which contains the offline dictation files, see here

Rom toolbox

M66B, I have problems with rom toolbox, when I click on the application it closes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
I was following posts on official CM10 thread about baseband. I don't care about it until today, do i have to update it or is automatic with this rom? How to check my version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The baseband is not part of the kernel nor the ROM, so you will have to flash it separately.

You can see the version with: System settings > About the phone

Version .72 is recommended.

Some experience a low volume with .77
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
There are already a lot off-topic messages in this thread.

I don't really mind, because the general idea is to help each other.

If anybody doesn't like this, please let me know, so we can try to do something about it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Deleted
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
Ok i have .77 but no problem with volume. Do the baseband influence phone signal in some way?

PS: i used your instruction to disable automatic brightness (now i have 0 in enable file), but everytime i reboot the phone i still have a very low brightness, and have to enable automatic and then disable to have real brightness
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The baseband is a software layer between the radio and the rest of the software, so it could definitively have an effect on the phone signal.

Put the instruction to disable the automatic brightness in the file /data/local/userinit.sh and it will be disabled on each reboot.

Create the file if it doesn't exist and don't forget to set the executable bits.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
I also use BB77, it also depends on included libril files in the fw, these files are specific to a baseband version and the wrong version can give high battery consumption.

BTW: have set the min freq to 24 Mhz and let's see how will battery consumption be :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
I check enable file, i have 0 after reboot, but still have the problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krstep:
I have one bug in all of the CM10 builds by FXP.

The CRT OFF animation doesn't work. Any way to fix this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
There isn't CRT OFF animation in CM10
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krstep:
I think there is. It was there in CM9 too.

Look at this video at 01:26

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=n2FlmrOlpvQ#t=85s
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ncmz:
Nope, it doesn't have that animation. I think only CM9.1 has it. I'll check again too see if I find it in settings but I'm pretty sure it isn't there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daniel_m:
Well, I don't use automatic brightness. The problem is that I have to switch it on and off after a reboot. Otherwise my maximum brightness is very low. This happend with the last update from 150 to 151. But since I installed your modified version, I can't tell if the brightness problem was introduced by FXP151 or M66B151.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
@M66B.....

i'm using your Extended Roms since FXP149....since FXP149 to FXP151, i notice the same bug on my XMP....

1.When changing themes, no network signal on status bar ( there are signal actually, but icon show no network...if change back to system themes, same problem)

2.When i use other themes, the phone loads very slow after reboot....sometimes, status bar doesn't load at all...i have to slide down the empty status bar to make the status bar appears (Yes i install downloaded themes in my phone internal memory not EXT2)

3.In some cases, after reboot i couldn't access ROOT due to superuser problem...if i open Root Explorer, a popup warning telling that i dont have root eccess on it (turn off and turn it on can solved it)

4.In other cases, after reboot "checking SD for Error" appears but cannot be remove from notifications drawer....i dont have any problem on my SD card since i scan my SD card ones every weeks or on every Roms Update (i have 16GB SD with 2GB Ext2 as partitions)....

all of this bug usually happen after reboot...but if i turn the phone off and let it off for atleast 30 second...problem disappear....bear in my that since FXP149, i always do full wipe (factory reset) cause i don't have plenty of apps installed...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ZN6:
2. It probably the themes itself causing the problem. Some themes are only optimize for hdpi/xhdpi devices. May not compatible for mdpi. I also face this problem but only certain themes.

Tapatalk 2 addict user.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Somebody tried to port this 'feature' from CM9 recently, but it is unfinished.

See here, here and here for details.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Did you switched it off using both the method described on the extended ROM page and using the settings?

Maybe you can try to increase the brightness as described on the extended ROM page.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
These are most likely not extended ROM problems, but just imperfections of CyanogenMod.

Full wipe is really not necessary.

Everybody seems to love wiping, but mostly it is not needed.

A little more explanation, because understanding things is always better ;)

When you install a new CM/FXP version, system is wiped during the upgrade process.

Wiping system even results in problems installing CM/FXP, because some files are needed by the install process.

Some files are backed up during the upgrade process and wiping may be useful to fix problems concerning these backed up files.

Most notable when you installed a wrong version of Google apps.

But there is a simpler method, just prevent the backup by doing this:

adb remount

adb shell

rm -R /system/addon.d

Reboot and flash the ROM and Gapps again

Also wiping cache is mostly not needed, because the system detects automatically which files needs to be updated.

You can see this when starting the system results in 'Optimizing'.

It doesn't harm to wipe the (dalvik) cache however, you only have to wait longer before your system has started fully.

Finally wiping data is mostly not needed too, because the data storage of the apps is mostly compatible for CM9.x / CM10.x.

So, summarized: never wipe, only when you have problems or coming from a ROM with another base (not CM).

But never wipe system.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
bummer.. it doesn't work.

merging twrp into stock ics kernel ramdisk doesn't work, just stuck at kernel boot logo. while if i merge cwm 6 from earlier cm kernel ramdisk from before this second stage boot thingy into stock ics kernel ramdisk it works.

i hate this new second stage boot :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
@M66B I very much like your rom and kernel, and i know you are now busy with the recovery, but please when you will have time could you make the wifi modules with power save on. My phone has become useless with high battery drain and also i notice that it gets very hot when wifi is on. Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skygio99:
I hope that nussbaum does not implement the fix for disabled Wi-Fi power save, on my st15i it works well.

I already have problems with high battery drain :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
I disabled wifi powersafe in the last kernel build with TWRP, if that truly means higher battery consumption, i will enable it again. Please test it. I had no more problems with wifi since about christmas. But first i have to get a successful build... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skygio99:
a doubt:

there are 2 options in advanced WiFi settings,one is just to change wifi activity timeout, and another is to set wifi on only when we need.

these do not work? :confused:

if someone has problems with the wifi timeout could use these options
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I am not one of those developers that piss you off if you ask anything, so next time just directly ask what you want to ask :)

In the kernel miscellaneous section you can download the Wi-Fi modules with power save enabled now.

I doubt that your phone get hot of this, but you'll never know.

A report with the difference in battery usage is appreciated, but on the other hand it will only for your specific case (your router, environment, usage etc).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
You think delete patch "home key answer call"? ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
These settings work, but are unrelated to power save in the low level driver.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Thanks for reminding, yes, this one is gone.

You can use 'Home button answers call' in the 'Accessibility' settings as replacement.

@M66B.....

Is there a way to fully disable Cell Broadcasts (beside uninstall it) from keep popping up when there no network coverage in sight???

i have disable all option in Cell Broadcasts but it keep popping up....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I have never seen a popup so far.

You can only disabled it, by removing the app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Flashing with TWRP works, but older ZIP's need to be modified, see the FAQ of nussbaum for how to.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauam:
Sorry noob question, but what means "older zips" ?

If i made a backup with cwr can i restore it with twrp or vice-versa?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Okay...Thank You For The Answer...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
Ok buddy, thanks for being so friendly :) Well it's not that i use my phone wifi only at home, i use it for example also in the library or at the school. For example yesterday i was at the library and i connected to the wifi there and i had the phone in my pocket and remember that my phone was having at least 40% of battery. After one hour i took out the phone to have a look at the time and to my surprise it was hot (maybe it was my leg :D) but not only this, the battery was at 5% already. I didn't do nothing, the same apps installed ( recently i haven't had much time to install new stuff on my phone ) Well i think i will test your new rom and new kernel and see if any difference, maybe my conclusion was a tad biased :).

EDIT: it just came to my mind that the wifi modules i can find maybe in the old rom :) and i will replace them and see the difference :), or maybe with this command:

?????

Can i lower the voltages for the lower freqs, like for the 24 Mhz? I already saw here in the forums that the lowest safe is 750. What do you M66B think of this? Before i brick my device :D.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
750mv is not the lowest safe, its lowest possible. Means that even u want to use 700mv u cant, its hardcoded into kernel that 750mv is the lowest u can go.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
Ah, great, at least i can't do any harm. :) Well i set them like these, and so far it works well for me, let's see battery life :):

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ncmz:
I'm not expert doing undervolt with phones (I have done it with proccesors and memories so far) but you should try with 850 first or 875 and keep lowering it down. even if you get to 800 with no bricking it'd something nice or just somthing. Test each voltage at least one day to be sure it is stable. Just a tip :o

I am using your rom FXP 201 iyokan... But I miss the single swipe notification opener... I think I found this in the offical FXP build but I guess you changed it... Now I have to put both of my thumbs to swipe open a notification... Thats really bad...

P.S Loving the rom :good:

P.S.S Please fix the notification thingy... Its really annoying...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
I'm now downloading v9.1, but as far I used v8.1 I have a few questions:

We know that JB uses more resources from the phone, but could it be done so, that it doesn't force close active apps when the phone goes with low memory? Not only stock, but also other browser do force close.

Will it be possible to better battery performance close to ICS' one?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ncmz:
I flashed your 201 ROM version and this is my battery drain...

I'm using your kernel and modules for WiFi. CPU Gov: SmartassV2, I/O Schuelder: SIO. Max CPU freq: 1.2 GHz. Min CPU freq: 24 MHz.

If you ask me battery drain is worring me :/ dunno why is going so fast...I don't know if I should calibrate my battery or something like that (last time I calibrated it was for the ROM I was using before this). I come from your 151 release. Rom is smooth like always and totally functionally. Just this "little" problem.

----------- Edit --------

When I installed the rom, battery level was about 85%. Forgot to mention that :)

And I don't have used it too much, practically all time idlle.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] miro279:
I also have battery drain issues with FXP152 kernel from 4.1 ans FXP201 kernel form 5.1 (both extended). Major drainer is Android OS in both cases. FXP152 from 27.12 was much better for me regarding the battery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I didn't change anything about the notification drawer and it works as before.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I had less than 1 % battery drain on my iyokan this night.

Try to find out with BetterBatteryStats what is draining the battery in your case.

What did you have turned on?

update

Hello M66B!

May I ask you, how should I update from the original FXP201 with FXP kernel to your latest extended ROM with ext. kernel? Should I wipe dalvik/cache/system then flash the zip then the kernel or what is the exact order? (I did a lot of FXP update already, but I never know the precise how-to :P I search for it and found the "official" FXP order but honestly I didin't understand that fully and meanwhile I also foun quite a few other recommendation for the update's how-to :P but so far I did the updates without any error almost everytime (except the last 2, when I was getting keyboard crash continuously, but I managed to reinstall the keyboard which solved the problem BUT that is another thread. :) ) Until now I used FXP ROMs (sometimes with your ext. kernel (thanks)), but now I am really missing the 720p recording, which - if I saw it right - is enabled in your ROM, so I decided to try it, and I wanna make the update in he perfect way. :P Especially after that I have a quite loud annoying background noise during the video recording (playback) with the latest FXP ROM (which is still the other thread :D).

Thanks for your answer in advance and big thanks for your work!

Best regards,

Zalan
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Just flash the kernel and ROM in any order you like, but before starting the ROM. No wipes are needed in most cases. If you flash the kernel before the ROM, you can flash the ROM with TWRP. Don't forget to flash Google apps after flashing the ROM. When using TWRP you can do that in one go.

Edit: the crashing keyboard could be caused by a wrong Google apps version. See the extended ROM page for the correct version and a fix.

@nussbaum: could you please add the crashing keyboard to the FAQ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
Thanks a lot M66B I got the twrp working. Now I was trying to make o dual recovery kernel .

I want to know what are the events numbers of other keys.

Like we use event2 for volume keys

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
I got the same idea too, but with that its possible to break the reboot recovery from rom power menu. Workaround would be to modify rom power menu option, one to reboot into cwm while another one to reboot into twrp. More job for rom maker.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
Ya I know that . I just wanted to make it to avoid modifying the meta-inf of all older zips. BTW do u have any idea of these event codes ??
