yes, I think the problem is that from the hardware design Acro S is having an option for a micro sd card and Xperia S not.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
go figure mate............benchmarks really dont mean anything if the rom works as it should and this actually is quite smooth

no sulution ever as free ram is wasted ram anyway.........see you disabled tablet UI and its sorted but why does anyone need 360mb free ram? what do you do with it :laugh:

didnt realise people still used dolphin? with chrome about browsers like dolphin dont really offer much unless you have an IPAD or IPHONE and then there is skyfire.

Can't install

I am using PAC18 with NOVA 007 and i want to install PAC18.0.2 but i cant.. Recovery gives me an error and then the "system folder" gets damaged i could not format it, mount it or restore my latest backup or install anything... I had to recover the phone with flashtool by reinstalling the official ICS and advanced kernel so that the file system gets repaired and i could restore my backup... How can i install PAC 18.0.2 without errors?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
Dont use nova 007 , it has some flaws ...and since your recovery gives an error , either your recovery is damaged or your kernel is damaged ... just follow the procedure in first post if it doesn't work then let me know..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
ap03.... You should not worry much about this stupit benchmark tests as I think they are rather deceiving, the real tests lay within the daily use of this rom to truly feel the outcome.

ap03... Can you please use a different file server for downloading the rom as I find it very slow to download, the server offers 50kb/s as free user unless one subscribes to gain faster download speed.

thanks for upload im grateful :)

but can you upload it to a better more reliable website because its not letting me download the file THEN if i want to try again im having to wait another hour!... ive tried 3 times now without success.

im not blaming the dev or the uploader i think what youre doing is great but uploaded.net is a really crappy website :/

Just flashed the rom,great so far.I have a request though if anyone can help.I would like to replace the call screen with the ics one if possible,as the photos from my contacts do not appear in full screen and are pixelated.I think it was written somewhere but i cannot find it anywhere.If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KreenTW:
I have the same problem here. Please someone kindly upload mirror another website.

I have already downloaded this rom for more than ten times.

Three hours ago, I download it successfully and I flash it happily,

The tragedy happens, my Xperia S start reboot, reboot and reboot.

After almost 3 hours, I figure out the problem is the file only 151mb not like the website show 156mb……..:eek:

I really appreciative of the developer’s efforts on this fantastic rom and I so love it.

I would be very grateful if someone help me to mirror this rom to another website.

Sorry to ask but what is repaired in this 4.2gapps?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
We wanted this to be a pure build so you guys can add or remove what you want. If you want audio fix kernel then install it or try fxp or nova. All your choices.

There is a great article about free ram being wasted ram as it serves no purpose. Vertigo has the link for anyone who wants a read. If you have under 50mb then may worry but even with that device will run smoothly. Tablet UI as someone has posted uses more resources so if you using it then that's the issue.

Simple in system/app folder delete chrome.apk then reboot. Then install it from market and it works perfectly.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
It's your choice. I'd install 4.1.2 then 4.2 because, at least when I installed 4.2, there was missing some apps, so install 4.1, then 4.2.

About free RAM...

This debate has been going on since android developed.. The article clearly tell us that FREE RAM is WASTED RAM in android...

Android is a different OS , its not like the windows OS on our pc which requires more free RAM to work freely ...

I have read 100s of posts and article about free ram but i am still not satisfied.. It can be theoretically shown that free RAM is wasted ram but in practical use it is not so . It is been often seen phone crashing , over heating(not with this ROM) when running out of memory and heavy graphics game easy to play when you have more free RAM . I used MIUI once and its system used around 900 mb , every app was force closing , phone's temperature started to increase and i can't even dial a number.

My advise, if you feel your mobile is running smoothly with more free RAM , use it like that and if using more and more RAM makes your phone a beast then use it that way. Its up to you. Its good to read posts and articles by experts but do what suits you the best.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
It should do just change permissions then reboot. Put in /system/app folder of cm9:1 Rom

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Hahahaha

Really and truly android has memory management built in so no phone should theoretically shut down or misbehave cause of low ram. Overheating is not related to low memory but due to processes that use too much resources. When ram is not being used it serves no purpose and its seems to be a novelty for users. It's the same as one guy flaming us because our Rom was over a set mb etc. Performance stability is what we look for and this rom has it all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadCobbler:
When the ram gets down to a set target, android will automatically shut the least used processes down to free up ram for the newest process that's how android works now... I would suggest getting task manager from Play Store and that will show you how much ram and cpu is being used by every running process... as you can see from mine in the pic 99% of the processes are using no resources at all so therefore not using any battery. This is on my Nexus 4 and even though it has over 1gb of ram free it doesn't make it any smoother or faster than my Galaxy Nexus running PACman which only has about 200mb free.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ashray_Vk:
I'm not a pro in this but let me tell u my experience

Flash rom and kernel and make mild usage for around 2 days... let the rom settle down. Don't overclock in the beginning .wait for around two days . After that, overclock, use performance and noop settings and benchmark. :)

worked beautifully for me
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] WeeDv2:
Free ram is wasted ram even in windows, because all the ram is active all the time, even holding 0 or 1, so better use it to cache. That's why in a couple of sentences free ram is wasted ram.

Miui case is different, because it doesn't have free ram due to apps/system usage.

In the case of windows cache, or background or cache process as I understand they work in android, if the memory is needed, it's instantly overwritten, as writing 001001 over 000000, or over idk... 100100 or 111111 takes the same time.

But in the case of a system app, main service or what not, it can't get overwritten as easy, e.g. in Windows that process is written to pagefile, or non used part of the memory block dropped if possible. But if its not possible, like in miui either cuz the "nice" of the process is lower than the one trying to close, or for an internal tweek (like those locking the home in memory) the process will force close.

And windows e.g. doesnt need free ram, it needs available ram, prefetch or superfetch cached ram is indeed available ram, if something need to overwrite it, it will do it inmediatly, the purpose of it, is to make something frequently used like idk... office, chrome, or whatever app you run frequently, start faster, as parts of it are already loaded.

Both android and linux both have a similar cache technology(and im not talking about pagefile or swap here)

Hope the info and explanation helps.

Thanks for developing
