For the flashaholics:

http://d-h.st/RkY

Please test that rom and especially pay attention to HDMI and it's behaviour if possible.

This rom comes with the latest Nexus4 (Mako) kernel & userspace drivers, it should aswell bring several improvements on gaming performance and battery life (due to the newly implemented CPU & GPU synchronization).

I am waiting for feedback before listing this in second post :P.

Have a nice day everyone!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] igna.worn:
So now mako is running smoother than caf?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yzlnew:
Why the Wi-Fi connection is not as stable as in the official rom?

Can you solve this problem?

Thx anyway.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AwesomeARC:
hey....can u tell me your setting...like kernel and schedule and i/o....please thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GiantAxe:
to my knowledge (im probably wrong, but i always thought it was like this)

you'd only get developer acces the moment you rooted yourself anyway, so thats just the danger side of that.

(again, i could be wrong about this, but this is how i always understood it)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
Can you add a mirror for the files, I can´t download the system.img becasue it always stops at about 180MB download (tried it a few times already).

AW: [ROM][WiP][4.2.1] CM-10.1 | OpenSEMC - 0.1 RELEASED

I don't want an image for fastboot :(

Why don't you make a flashable zip?

I don't know any other dev who gives ROMs as fastboot image, latema also gives flashable zips ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mracer164:
It's not only about living with it. I would like to be able to repack this fw for dualboot and now I can't because it's not a flashable through recovery zip.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheDude61636:
in 4.2 it was implemented but in earlier versions it was in the end of settings menu just sitting there and i think in 4.0 you could enable it and disable it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nhnt11:
I'm experiencing a very odd problem. When I boot the phone, once it catches a signal, it invariably crashes and reboots to the CM bootanimation. It will keep doing this (once or twice) until finally it no longer catches a signal at all (and stops rebooting). When this happens, I noticed Airplane Mode kept flickering between on and off in the power menu (but not in settings).

This happened when I initially flashed gapps, but I was able to solve it by doing a factory reset. It didn't happen again until later - I went to bed with the phone at 20% battery, but woke up 6 hours later to find it dead. When I booted it up again the signal thing had made a return.

I'll get you a logcat later. Off to sleep again now (it's 4:30am, thankfully I woke up and now can set a different alarm ;)).

Edit: Never mind, here's a logcat (log includes a clean boot from power off and subsequent reboots till signal problem): http://www.mediafire.com/view/?9bj9w7ce4224bo4

Edit2: I did another factory reset and it's working fine again. I'll see if I can narrow down what's causing it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheDude61636:
i just noticed that you didn't mention the WiFi, USB tethering nor NFC nor FM radio :eek:

so do they work or not ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nhnt11:
NFC works. No FM radio. Not tested tethering but according to letama's changelog it's fixed, so I assume it works in this rom as well since they're collaborating.

1st days testing

After the first day of using 0.1 i can say that it is almost ready for daily use (for me it is). The only things that i can see that doesn't work (other than that advertised) is the camera (full res and photosphere). Other than that i would say that its as good as CM10.

Well done dev, the only thing that it really needs now is Bluetooth - i cant talk for everybody but this is something that is use everyday. I have to ask (and i know someone is going to say something) but will we see Bluetooth before Sony release their version of JB or do you need their sources? I can wait, but "If you dont ask you dont get".

Cheers guys (and gals)

how to switch between users , is there a way to switch users in the lockscreen like in the tablet ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stojshic:
Isn't "users" option reserved only for tablets?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nhnt11:
Update on this issue. After a day's use it came back. I don't recall changing any settings since the last boot before it started happening. However, turning off mobile data and rebooting seemed to solve reboots - but turning data on caused a crash immediately, so it seems data is the specific culprit here. Let me know if I can report any other data that may be useful, I've left the phone in this state (I have WiFi at most places on campus so I can live without data for a while).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elias234:
this rom have the feature of multi users as said in the working features if you change the lcd density to 192 it works , i said the the multiuser works but can only be changed through the power menu , i want it to work through the lockscreen having a smartphone lcd density

bluetooth appears to work for me (only did a quick test by pairing and sending a file from my pc) by using the libbt-vendor.so from letama's aosp 4.2 rom.

Unzip the attached file into /system/vendor/lib and make sure permissions are rw-r--r--

I have installed Beta3 CAF and Gapps.First I have flashed Beta3 CAF And Gapps.After the completion of flash I rebooted the phone into recovery.After that I choosed Fiops and sakurative and off course put tik mark on set on boot for both scheduler and CPU Governor. Then I flashed Beta2 kernel zip into recovery again.I use Nova launcher.I keep off location service,wifi,3g.But I use them when I need otherwise I keep them off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lantianer:
I tried HDMI:

It is a bit laggy when HDMI is pluged in (Nova Launcher)

Videoclips are working normaly, but there is a audio/video delay when streaming (APP: MX Player)

Pictures are to sharp (APP: QuickPic) on the TV

I played "RoboTek" and Ingress. The effects are ok and so on, but i noticed a "scratch" on a few graphics.. see picture 1

also when you plug the HDMI off there will remain a line.. see picture 2. It is gone after a reboot.

I will test tomorrow a bit more.

p.s. nice new cam feature :) cheeessseee

EDIT: Now i always get a reboot, when i plug HDMI in. I didn't change the system. (05.05.2013)

Problem with Wifi :(

Does anyone have problem with Wifi in BETA3 (It's the first I've tested so not sure about earlier versions).

When I connect to it, it works.. But, the phone is left unattended, the URL's just don't resolve.

I've linux background but no experience with Android. What all I can to do help you devs detect the problem? Issue is, if I just switch-off and on the Wifi again, it starts to work again. (This happened once with 3g too but I'm yet to confirm if it's reproducible as I mostly stay on Wifi).

For now, it worked by setting DNS servers as Google's. How do I know why the DNS server just stopped working?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Error in your DNS servers, dns2 should be 8.8.4.4

Have you tried a clean install ?

Volume Rocker Wake & Pie Controls

Hey all!

I've got Volume Rocker Wake as well as Pie Controls working on my phone!

Image Proof:

And RaymanFX ,

Maybe you should have the option for pie controls..

Then again, it is your choice to make..

Thanks for this amazing ROM & Source :good:

​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lantianer:
Did you do a clean install? I got this to when i did a dirty install from opensemc 0.6 to beta2 (the volume rocker was still there, after a clean install from b2 it was gone)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
I think you misunderstood.

I changed stuff in the sources so that I could enable volume rocker wake on purpose

I'm running an edited version of OpenSEMC , compiled from (edited) source :)

Ahh okay :)

Hope Raymanfx can change it to :)

testing rom: OpenSEMC-OTA-BETA3-Makozomi.zip

I have slightly tested rom and here are some anoying things:

HDMI:

When I plug HDMI, phone reboots. After reboot with plugged cable, HDMI starts working. It's working without problem till next reboot without HDMI cable. After system started with HDMI cable, I can disconnect and reconnect HDMI and it's working. After reboot without cable, plugging HDMI causing reboot.

CAMERA:

When I focus on something shiny, like screen and make photo, camera app stays dark and not responding to brightness change on dark/bright background (first and second photo). When I restart camera app, it's ok (third photo). See screenshots.

PHONE:

Sometimes whe phone boots it's showing me network error (no phone signal). After reboot, it's ok.

I had done factory reset (data/cache) & dalvik too, because I've come from another rom.

When it's necessary, will provide logcat.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keunhuvac:

OpenSEMC custom build

Flashaholics, try this one

OpenSEMC for Xperia SL(works on XS also)

Changes:

Added pie controls

Volume Rocker Wake is back

Bugs:

Auto brightness isn't working

(on purpose, cause my screen would go back and forth through brightness levels, which was quite irritating)

How to use Pie Controls:

Enable Expanded desktop mode

Enable Pie controls for left & right sides

Press power button & start expanded desktop mode

Swipe from the side of the screen(takes a bit of getting used to)

Pie controls are a bit buggy at the moment

Volume rocker wake makes the lockscreen animation move like it's on steroids :P

Is the bluetooth bug with HID devices known?

Coz I have an issue connecting my Bluetooth keyboard to my Xperia S...

I can pair it but then it doesn't work at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
It's buggy if you try to set it from the bottom in portrait mode

Or maybe it's just my fingers :P

Could you screenshot the 'about' section from settings?

Also, does the camera work proper with 'cheese' ? :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keunhuvac:
Did you do something with white colour? Cause it's brighter than any Rom I've installed before.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
It does affect battery life a bit.

I'll change that in future builds, for those who want auto brightness.

You can copy over the hardware config from OpenSEMC Beta 3 to " /etc " if you want auto brightness/ duller screen / better battery life...

Hey! So i am trying to install my first rom after i rooted and unlocked my bootloader. I downloaded this CM and a few others to try out, but i can't get into the recovery on my Phone :s so weird. I still have the stock ICS update with 2.55 kernel. Vol up and power on doesn't do anything except starting my Phone... it does goes into safe mode though... what else can i do? Any suggestions how i can get into my recovery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Did you install a custom recovery (ClockWorkMod / TWRP) ?

Try this:

1) Extract the 'boot.img' from the ROM zip to the same directory where fastboot.exe (from bootloader unlocking) is.

2) Connect your phone in fastboot mode (like when unlocking bootloader)

3) In Command Prompt, type this command:

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img

4) Reboot device. When purple LED lights up, press Volume Up key.

5) Continue from the instructions to install this ROM

Feel free to PM me, if you need any help or want to contact me via IM or something like that :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] on99:
Hey glen,

thanks for your help! I'm currently at work and tried to install fastboot on a win7 64bit system but it just wont work here. So, i will try this when i get home or when i find out how fastboot works on 64bit win7... wasted a few hours already :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Just open device manager and keep refreshing while you connect the phone in fastboot mode

As soon as you see a new device open it and give to windows its drivers (look in the sony developer site for them)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Have you flashed a kernel with recovery?

If not you have to fastboot it first following the everything you need to know guide at the top of the forum
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
The bootloader has been unlocked already. So the PC which was used for that is ready to flash this kernel.

Not really necessary, that.

He's going to be flashing the beta3 kernel anyway. Recovery is included. Why get CWM , then this, when you can go directly to OpenSEMC?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] on99:
True, it should be included is most kernels/roms but as i haven't flashed one so far. I used an winXP machine to unlock the bootloader so i have to get back on that when i get home i guess!

Thanks for the help btw!! Much appreciated!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
IMHO , WinXP is the best windows version for all this :)

And then there's Linux ;)

Correction: Best windows OS version in terms of support, drivers, etc.

I'm talking in general, not just Sony.

With 7 , it's a bit of hit-and-miss with ODIN , 8 and Odin just takes too long to get everything working. With XP, it just works. There's almost no tweaking required.

And BTW, I run ArchLinux and Ubuntu on my laptop most of the time.

Only use for windows 8 is flashing Samsung phones, Movie editing/after effects & FL Studio ;)

Thank you RaymanFX for your work on Nozomi and 4.2 :good:

A few questions:

What is the focus of your work now with the new "Team EOS" Rom?

Do you still improve OpenSEMC?

Where are the main differences between this two rom's? (I know OpenSEMC is Cyanogenmod and EOS is AOSP)

Which rom do you prefer?

I think it is in everybodys interrest if you say a few words and explain the situation.

Dankeschön ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
He's said a few words on that thread..

EOS is built with linaro toolchains, making it optimised.

TeamEOS also makes their own features :)

As far as I know, he prefers EOS (dual boot with ubuntu touch) ;)
