[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
zram has also been activated by SONY on the RAY. This was done as part of the latest firmware update. So best to leave it on and you can play with the parameters for fun and to see if you can get some better performance out of your device :laugh:

typing free in terminal should give you three numbers: Total Used Free

You always want some free space and how much depends on what you have been doing with your phone. The harder you have been driving it, the fuller zram should become. zram should empty itself, but this may be take a while. If you want to reset the swap, you can try the script in pojhe's thread and it can be run from script manager or from terminal. Either make the script on your phone or use notepad++ to make it if you are going to use a windows PC. You will have to run it as root and if you want to play around with vm.swappiness you need to put su into terminal first.

Well, after you ran swapper, you had two swaps, one for zram and one for a normal swap. I imagine most things were getting passed into zram first. When you deleted the swap file on the sdcard you got rid of that swap file and stopped that swapping but there was still the swap happening with zram. I didn't even think of zram since you were running stock and I didn't realize that Sony had activated zram. Before if you wanted zram on stock, you had to activate it yourself. Don't worry about the difference between mtdblock3 and mtdblk3, we are on different devices using different versions of android, so a small change like this is to be expected.

No worries about the help. When I was a new user a lot of people helped me out too. I liked this problem a lot because it was a bit of a mystery and your posts were detailed enough to be helpful! It took me a while to find your post in the first place, but the next time you post something and you think it is getting ignored, just pm me and I will take a look!

Small world, I am also married with 2 children, but my name is not Ahmed and I don't live in Egypt...it is Mike and I live in Italy! Nice to meet you!

Edit: Just saw your last post. That script will set vm.swappiness to 60, then reset zram to clear out the used space, then it sets the size of zram to ~30 Mb, and the last two lines restart the swap into zram. The zram_start.sh is a script that will run after every reboot and restart zram. So if you run pojhe's script it will keep those settings until you reboot and then you will get the default settings. If you want to mess around with zram you can edit pojhe's script and you can always get back to default by rebooting your phone. If you want to change the settings so that they survive a reboot, you will have to edit the zram_start.sh script. It is pretty easy to do this on your phone using a rooted file explorer (Root explorer or the File manager in ROM toolbox lite -this one is free from the play store).

I would recommend making a backup of those scripts so that you will always have an unedited one...just in case!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dolceka:
Mike.. H r u ?? I wish you are fine :))

I was trying the phone without swap for the last 2 days and it is working normally.. Not perfect and not bad.. When I force close most of the running apps and check the RAM, I found the free space more than 200 MBs then goes to 160 or less in a sec.. I don't know why or how but thats what happened.. In the next 2 days I will turn the swap on and check the performance but about the scripts i am still a little bit lost :)) can you provide me with the scripts 1 by 1 with the explanation of each one of them and I will make my tests and feed you back ? :)

Thanks in advance bro ;)

Using the Aroma Installer

This is a quick guide to using the Aroma Installer since this highly customized version may be slightly different from what you have used before.

Looks complicated, but is super easy. And I think you will appreciate the ability to customize your set-up without having to re-install the ROM.

Enjoy!

Be sure to select your carrier!

Installation:

Nandroid backup

Factory reset in recovery if coming from a non-TouchWiz ROM (backup internal SD Card contents first)

Flash in recovery (button or touch)

Aroma installer should start within ~5 seconds

Choose a theme (if the colors look borked, go back and choose the theme again).

After agreeing to the disclaimer and viewing the changelog, Choose either:

Install or Update ROM - Installs ROM

or

Add or Remove Features - Allows you to add or remove apps, launchers, etc without re-installing the ROM.

________________

Install or Update ROM:

Choose either:

Full Wipe - Clean install wipes system, cache, Dalvik, and app & system data (no media, etc).

or

Update Wipe - Wipes system, cache, Dalvik (for current CSROM users only)

Choose desired options.

If you don't choose a launcher, the TW launcher will be installed.

If you install both AOSP and Samsung email you will get repeated FC's.

You can install both launchers and decide which one to use after boot.

________________

Add or Remove Features:

Be sure to select everything you want included in the ROM, even if it is already installed on your device.

If any given item is not selected, it will either not be installed, or deleted if it is already installed.

________________

Additional Info

If at any point Aroma hangs, hold the power button until device reboots recovery (10-15 seconds).

If install completes and you get a "Status 0" error after pressing "Reboot" in Aroma, just reboot the device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid2drummer:
First! Sweet I just DL the other Darth port. Lol this looks very interesting.

---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

Question. Is the kernel going to need to be flashed separately or is it working ok with the kernel in already ..I ask as I know ports can interfere with bases via carrier differences. I know the radio doesn't matter. As it has to be flashed separately via Odin ota or rec. Thank you for your port and hard work btw...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
The ROM has the stock kernel. I can't speak to how it will work on your device since this is my first VZW port.

I read a few other threads from GSM device ports, and the only issue might be MMS. But that seems to be hit or miss.

Hopefully you can tell me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid2drummer:
You got a nice rom bro. I flashed and followed to a t. All was gold but no data on boot. However I did not go int o settings and toggle. Reason is usually it doesn't help on port but should it be modem? Possibly is but I doubt it. Anyway ill flash again and play with settings. I restored stock backup:) !! Always nice to see data on boot when reverting from a scare lol. But I knew it would. So that's all I have for now. Ill work on it second flash tomorrow. Thank you for your work. I also wiped again after booting and rebooted to same. Wifi comes up when signing in of course. Please stay with it. Its a beautiful rom!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
It shouldn't be the modem.

No data, or no signal icon showing on the status bar?

I read on another thread that the 3G icon doesn't display properly sometimes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fredderf81:
great work

hello, love the rom. i am probably the biggest fan of scottsroms and have relied on cleanrom for quite awhile....every so often i backup everything and try out something new for a few days and always end up back there =) this rom has all of the UI fun little options i enjoy though. however when i benchmark this sucker...no matter what kernel i seem to use i get about 1180 on quadrant!!!! anyone else getting this result? *note* i am using the circles widget for the first time...not sure but something tells me that might have something to do with it???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
Thanks for trying it.

There is nothing different about the ROM that should cause low benchmark scores.

Hopefully some more users will try the ROM and we can start to figure some things out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] babygetoboy:
I tried the ROM and I didn't have a phone number or any data, and the mobile settings were set up correctly. Any ideas? I really wanted to use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
I made some changes to the build.prop.

Flash this and see if it helps.

Edit:

(see post #2 for patch)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcarterny:
Same here no mobile data. Last digit on iemi was missing but some other ROMs this doesn't effect anything not sure here. Really nice layout probably something easy to fix with data. There is a bunch of the mobile data missing when you open it. Etc no network mode no signal strength, access points. Maybe that can guide you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
The zip above your post may help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcarterny:
I have mobile data but 1x maybe under 1 mb/sec with no icons. My imei is normal. GPS locks. Flashed a different status bar now i have 3g icon only 1mbps DL speed . I'm not sure data is that great in my area so ill give it a go later to check it out. From checking against other ROM it should be OK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
OK, well that is some progress.

I am working on some more changes now.

Will post when I am done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcarterny:
OK nice work. I got full 4g when I'm home so I'll try again when u post it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid2drummer:
Sorry brother last night I was up late and saw your ROM and had to flash. I normally dive in and find glitches or what not to send dev. But as I said I was late for bed so I flashed and quickly reverted but when I get home around 8pm I will look further as well as try to help in any way from APN to to simple toggling. Thanks again as this is nice addition to our forum. Keep it up bro! Peace...

:confused: Seriously what is the use of live tiles if they don't update? For exsample the tile for battery status, weather, clock??? You have to click and open the app in order for them to up date properly or at all. I really hope MS fixes this otherwise can they really be called live tiles?

Not likely this month and probably not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SouthPhilly:
JB is coming to our phone, but it's Sprint... Who knows when they will drop it and who knows how much they will mess it up.

On your second question... No you would need to be on a stock rom I think. Not 100% sure on that though.

I am wanting to flash custom kernel on WiFi Xoom. Am currently running newest cm 10.1 nightly jb 4.2.1 on my Xoom. Anyone know of any kernels that are compatible with this ROM? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Normally the kernel is already with the flashable zip you installed, if I were you I wouldn't risk flashing another kernel other than the one which came with your ROM, but you can try downloading any other ROM, extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot, but I wouldn't try anyway...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevk60:
Thanks for the info XxLordxX. I will follow your advice and not worry about it. Again, thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekrhino:
I don't suppose anyone would know of a custom kernel I could flash on my Stingray (VZW 4G LTE) I'm running Stock Rooted ICS 4.0.4.Thus far it seems to be the most stable ROM I've tried. All the ROMS I've tried are very laggy and slow. My only reason for wanting to flash a custom kernel is only for more stability and maybe overclocking.

I've searched just about every thread on here with no real results. The kernel threads are only leading to dl sites that no longer have the zip files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Good job! Keep developing and hold on to this spirit.

I will download asap :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Xetium:
I haven't full played with 4.2 yet, but hopefully after this project, I'll move onto 4.2. Only reason why I went with 4.1.2 because I love it, and I'm more familiar with it so I can at least provide more stability to all the users.
[Nexus S Android Development] Xetium:
Thank you! I will try and get another release finished within a couple hours hopefully if everything goes according to plan.

Next release should include centered clock, battery mod, and extended power menu options. It'll also include a few tweaks and extras, which I'll state in the changelog once everything is done.

Enjoy the ROM and please let me know if anything needs changing or if you have any suggestions or requests.
[Nexus S Android Development] DJBhardwaj:
Yeah, your ROM seems to have the AOSP look, I would suggest you to use some graphical customization like wallpapers, a ROM specific boot animation etc.

Well, I would advise you to go timely and steadily. You will get a lot of time to push these suggestions into the ROM :good:

Again, Good job :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] Xetium:
Oh yea definitely, I just thought I'd start off basic and slowly move up with the mods and features. I don't know about you, but I really hate when the first release has EVERYTHING and the next releases are really nothing new. I like to keep my users waiting for the next release :)

Thanks for testing!
[Nexus S Android Development] DJBhardwaj:
I agree on that :highfive:
[Nexus S Android Development] Xetium:
Second Release is finished. I've updated the first post with new screenshots and the new download link, as well as I've edited the changelog with all the correct features and mods that have been added in this release.

If you have any requests please let me know so I can add them into the next release!

Enjoy the ROM and please say thanks :)

[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Wow! Glad to see a 4.1.2 ROM. 4.2 is too clunky on the NS. I am actually using a vanilla 4.1.2 AOSP ROM as a daily driver. Stick with this but also stay to the spirit of your ROM, that is those who want a fast, slim and modded ROM. Avoid making this a slow, clunky and bloated ROM. I'll give this a try and later and see if it can lure me away from my DD. Thanks, dev. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Xetium:
Well I'l see what I can do, since not everyone likes those things. We cant please everyone so I'll pick and choose from some mods. In the end the ROM is meant to be fast and slim.

As I said, I'll try to please everyone. Let me see if I can make a flashable zip file that will install the rasbeanjelly black theme.

Thanks!, I'll be with this ROM until there's nothing more to do. Only than will I move to 4.2. Let me know how it works out.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeklund:
I have an S5830D that I flash an CM7 rom to (APOCALYPSE-FINAL), I'm now looking at getting back to stock. I'm having trouble getting my CWM restore back. Now after doing some searching I realized I would need to flash a stock firmware version through odin. I went out and found what i believe is the correct firmware version for this Koodo model (the name is S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4_HOME.tar.md5) and tried to flash it.

Everything in odin goes through fine up to the point where it restarts the phone, Ill attach a screenshot of what shows up for me. After the screen shows up is when I get stuck in a bootloop where the phone model shows, then the koodo bootanimation shows followed by the samsung logo. I should note though I still have complete access to recovery, the downloader mode, and even the CM rom when i restore that backup. The fact I have access to all those gives me hope as I'm sure this could be reversed.

Any advice on how I can restore this phone to stock would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very familiar with samsung devices so please try to be patient with me as I realize I have gotten into something over my head.

PS Sorry about the glare on the image its the best I could do as it disappears quickly.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoBored:
If you have complete access to recovery mode, try wiping data and cache after flashing with Odin. That does the trick for me when I have a bootloop after flashing with Odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApriliaM3:
Agreed... reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeklund:
So I've just completed a new flash with odin, I went in and flashed cwm then proceeded to factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and I even do battery reset. Every wipe goes fine except for when I attempt to do the factory reset I received the following error:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Even after those wipes it still bootloops but thats most likely as the factory reset didn't work.
