Today I tried this rom in a defy 525, works pretty good, only problem is my SIM card seems to not be detected, I get no signal, and it tells me that networks is unavailable...

It was working pretty much fine before, anything I can do?

Awesome Rom, Big Thanks, Great Job:good::good::good:

I really like this Xperia Rom, it has great speed, nice keyboard, home screens and widgets are nice, i have done clean install and having near about 190mb ram free, doesn't lag much, played temple run2 continously for 2 hours without any lag( although phone got little hot and battery declined from 85 to 45).

some more things which i hope will be improved in future releases :

album art in walkman are laggy and colour flashes while changing songs

brightness button shows error

nothing else noted till now :)

File manager can't open archives and i install busybox then file manager can't handle / root then i remove busybox and factory reset. Last effort is bootloop, i make Pwr + Vol- wipe cache and data, but no effect. Little help please
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
CM File manager is a litle buggy when asking root permissions. Go to settings in the app and select advanced mode. Grant superuser permissions asked with SuperSU and check if stills on basic mode, in that case change to advanced mode again and this time it will work. Or more easy try another file manager, like solid explorer or ES file manager. I have tested many times and those 3 file managers works with root permissions.
[Defy Android Development] bvbfan:
Now phone is on bootloop, help to avoid it. Before that i try advanced mode, but after install busybox everything goes wrong.
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
The rom comes with everything already installed. You should reflash the rom and this time dont install busybox.

PS: New version is being uploaded... :)
[Defy Android Development] prisacariu:
wow i can wait for the new version .

the rom is fast smooth and battery friendly , i like a lot the Walkman but i miss the setting key,

P.s. when installing the new version over the old one do i need to wipe the cache and dalvik after the install of the zip ?

P.p.s can you put it again as a torrent ?

thank again

btw

can i just upgrade from 2.01 by wiping cache only ?

or wiping data is must ?
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Sorry, now is fixed

Make a nandroid backup and try, of course the best is a full wipe (and here i changed the base rom) but it could work.

Re: [ROM][JB] Xperia D 2.5 for Defy+/Defy - Xperia for Motorola - Now with Timescape

Hi. eagerly waiting to try this rom but facing download issues. I'm unable to download from google drive. It's showing that file scanning has failed and not going further. Is there a possiblity of another mirror, like mediafire?

Currently using White Rabbit on my Defy 525. After flashing Xperia D 2.5, do I have to flash any Kernel?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] randolph2:
superb rom ,overall very stable
[Defy Android Development] bvbfan:
No

I want to use dsp manager. Any solutions? Ty for the work of this rom :cowboy:
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Google cannot scan large files and thats the error you see, but in that same sentence there is a link, click on "download anyway" (i dont know how it shows on english, i see this on spanish)

About the mirror, is very hard to me upload to mediafire because of my crappy upload speed and lack of stability. Sometimes it cuts and never comes back and i have to start again... But with the pc clients of google drive and skydrive i can upload even if it cuts because they retry ad infinitum. So thats why im always needing help with the mirrors. Another solution is the torrent, im seeding 24/7 so you can download easily that way. :)

DSP manager and Sound Enhancements from Walkman do the same job and they are not compatible. If you still want to use DSP manager you can simply grab it from the sevenrocks original build and push it to /system with the correct permissions. Probably you will need to delete Soundenhancements.apk too.
[Defy Android Development] ajojohn:
Great Rom !!

wow...this is good may b i can say its pretty awesome rom !! main pro are smooth and zero lag. Found no fc or restarts since 2 days,Camera wrkinf fine without fix zip.Bravia engine really works;) Again Thanks "mato" lot for this rom develpmnt :highfive:

Kernel

check ur kernel first in phone about:cool:

Try withot flashing kernel.
[Defy Android Development] rollbar:
Good to see the new version of this beautiful rom. I just see the Sony car mode launcher in a thread, so maybe you can include it in the next build, it' a good app. Here is the link to thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2144490
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
There is no need to flash a kernel. Just follow the instructions on the OP: is just 1 zip with everything included.

Yeah i saw it too, but thanks. You can install it like a normal apk now or wait my next version. I think i will wait to the phone FC bug to be fixed after add it to the rom.

PD: Added a new mirror on Skydrive on the OP.

version 2.0.1 broke cwm recovery

Hey mato,

Great rom, you and quarks did wonders to make a stuck like these in a phone like defy.

I just faced one problem, in cwm recovery it cant mounts the sdcard.

I fix that instalind the int again, it downgrades the recovery.

best.
[Defy Android Development] jcxmej:
im on 2.0.1 ... installed fresh just yesterday.. i want to install 2.5... can i do it without data wipe?

[Defy Android Development] vaserbanix:
Re: [ROM][JB] Xperia D 2.5 for Defy+/Defy - Xperia for Motorola - Now with Timescape

can you include in XperiaD and

BMtweaks, BWmemfree and BMseeder

all this will speed up the rom
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
did you try to mount the sdcard on mounts and storage menu on recovery?

Yes, but keep in mind that 2.5 has a new base, so there is a slight posibility of errors. Make an Nandroid backup and try.

Seeder is not necesary, the rom has crossbreeder included. I will check the memfree and the other tweaks. Did you tested them before in other roms? any bug or problem?
[Defy Android Development] vaserbanix:
Re: [ROM][JB] Xperia D 2.5 for Defy+/Defy - Xperia for Motorola - Now with Timescape

Yes I use it in cm10_10,01.13 buid and this tweaks are speed up the rom from 1300max in quadrant(with default settings) to 1800-1900(with the same default settings)

I dont have that ringtone bug and other.

The single problem wich i have

was network signal stuck once on 2-3 days after a call. Fixed with a reboot!

Now i use XperiaD 2.5 and owercloked to 1250, it dont pas over 1350 on quadrant
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
I see, thanks for the feedback. I will start testing it asap. Now im waiting to see if the new quarx build from today still has the ringtone bug (or any other important bug). If not, then i will use it as base for the next build.

Btw, is dangerous to do such an extreme overclock...

I don't think is useful we have enough bloatware already . And you have a lot of free apps better than that

( Avast mobile for example : in witch the anti theft app (if you have root) you can install it as a different name and is hidden from the app drawer)
[Defy Android Development] jcxmej:
yes you r right... had some errors i felt.. not big issues i could feel it only becos i used 2.0.1... did data wipe now.... another Q - i should not wipe cache/dalvik after installing rom???
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Exactly, just wipe before install the rom. Then no more wipes. ;)

[Defy Android Development] gabrielsena:
Man, I really liked this ROM is fast and so far has not been slow even with all installed applications (80)

Just saw a few bugs like the widget, which try to change the screen brightness of force close and it does not activate the 3G

Another thing is the Walkman, which is giving force close and wish he had as listing the songs for grazing, but I know that this is not a bug.

But other than that the ROM is perfect, very beautiful and simple, the Launcher is very good.

Do not stop updating this ROM, as we have seen with many others.

PS: Using Google Translate English sorry, I'm from Brazil.

Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] pranks1989:
Very beautiful ROM as everyone here has been saying! Another request: Please don't stop updating it! :) The best part is the UI and the sound quality!!

and the data toggle widget is not working..
[Defy Android Development] wurealm:

Pretty good ROM, very sharp and quick UI but can't personalise it ... Audio quality is the best I've seen (heard) till now on a Defy.

The picture editor doesn't works because the gallery3d stops every time.

Good job, keep updating :D

EDIT:

No matter what contact ringtone I set, the default one is used...

Awesome Rom!

So far, it goes smooth, battery's ok, and it looks beautifull. I always prefered vanilla roms, but sony did an awesome launcher / media player / album / keyboard.

Where's Timescape?

[Defy Android Development] parth0:
Re: [ROM][JB] Xperia D 2.5 for Defy+/Defy - Xperia for Motorola - Now with Timescape

Settings key no longer working on desktop screen.

ENTER button is very annoying as its not creating new line, directly sending sms during type.

As usual still unresolved VPN bug in this Rom.

:thumbup:good UI

:thumbup:Smooth and adorable

Please keep it up and thanks for your great effort & keep updating your project.

Timescape installed as separate zip file.. read OP
[Defy Android Development] ramdak:
It says it's only for 2.0.1, does it work with 2.5?
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Timescape is only for the 2.0.1 version. I didnt do a patch this time because looks like nobody uses it (and thats ok, because is the mother of the useless bloatware) but if i see many people asking for it, i will make a patch for 2.5
[Defy Android Development] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Upgraded to 2.5

Again WOW

thankfully no ringtone bug for me and no data drops.

Battery life is definately better

Few issues though

as we have the four buttons in the bottom, and the first one used to bring settings. It does not work anymore.

the portrait mode of weather widget is gone. Only landscape remains.

wifi not connect to wpa2 network! pls help

(sorry bad english)
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
The Xperia Z laucher has no "menu" button on the homescreen, they are inside the app drawer. Press menu on the app drawer and you will see the options there (not many, since this is a stock launcher). About the widget, yes, now there is only one mode but with fancier animations and better location detect. If you still prefer the old version, you can extract it from the old build and push it to /system with correct permissions.

Be more specific, please. Im using wi fi on my house with WPA2 encryption and it works ok, so i suggest to check your router settings.
[Defy Android Development] senki1975:
Wifi wpa2

Install Xperia D 2.0.1 ROM: wifi connected to wpa2 network.

Install Xperia D 2.5 ROM (wipe all): wifi not connect wp2 network.

Install Xperia D 2.5 ROM (upgrade): wifi not connect wp2 network.

(sorry bad english)

i noticed a difference between 2.0.1 and 2.5 with the app animation... in 2.0.1 when i selected an app, the app opens up similar to xperia.. but in 2.5 it opens like normal cm10... disappointed see such a downgrade... donno what more changes were done from 2.0.1 cos i used 2.0.1 oly for a day.. can you please bring these animations back.. please keep on improving.. BTW its the best JB rom i used yet.. fast simple and lot of features.. thanx a lot.. i was beginning to give up on my defy.. :)

okay, after some random issues, i started everything from the scratch: stock os, than Xperia 2.5.

a huge thanks for the developer!

battery is the usual for me, as i use the phone the whole day, never lasts long (email, whatsapp and maps all day long, no way to hold up for a long time)

only issue i got so far: data drops after some calls, a reboot can fix it.

Re: [ROM][JB] Xperia D 2.5 for Defy+/Defy - Xperia for Motorola - Now with Timescape

Very satisfied with this rom. Speed and battery life has been superb for a jb rom. Best jb experience on my defy so far. Should also thank quarx without whom defy never would have got jb. Loving the xperia experience. I've been waiting for either a htc/sony lookalike for defy and I'm happy this rom came in time.

Few things that I want to mention/ask :

1. The icon in power widget in norification bar for vibration in silent mode is very similar to one in sound mode. Would be better if they are a bit different(easy to differentiate).

2. Sometimes the rotate screen option is not getting disabled even after disabling from settings menu.

3. Music has been amazing in this rom. Loving it.

4. While playing videos from any file manager, they are being played in video player by default. How do I change the default to mx player? I mean, in what app should I reset the defaults for playing videos?

5. As you can see my post signature below, the device is being recognized as lt30p, even in settings menu. Was it deliberately done to get xperia features enabled? My mobile is defy mb525 red lens

PS. Very thankful to mato for making this wonderful rom. Nice idea to add essence of xperia for defy. Loads of praises from my side :):)

3-Ty

4-The default app shoul be none, but try deleting defaults on "movies" app

5-Yes, this is deliverate to activate VIP acces on Xperia Lounge and Sony Select. Dont worry, nothing really changes apart from the name.

Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

i flashed this rom after wiping everything. it was working but i lost signal while changing bb and even after restarting the phone many times signal would not come then finally i wiped everything and came back to cm10 quax thread then signal came , there too once after flashing this rom once the network signal did not come then it came back.

Are you using the soft sim unlock patch? that happened to me when i used it.
[Defy Android Development] jassi32:
I am on this Beautiful rom from past 2-3 hours , awesome work u have done ......LOVE it

some ques ---

1. please make settings access from launcher settings ---if possible

2. can I delete , Smart connect , Sony select , walkmate, xperia link , xperia lounge ... means if i delete them , any issues ??

3. xperia facebook doesn't sync contacts at all ....

4. walkman player option like and share on fb doesn't work ....

5. like we share photos via gallery , it comes with share via xperia smarphone .....can simple status posting can b possible with via option .....

performance rom is good , played a couple of games , temple run 1,2 , subway surfers , etc etc , had an excellent smooth experience ......

if possible in future make it seeder compatible ......

Thank you soo much , your hard work can be seen in the ROM , Good Work .......
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
no i am not using any patch except flashing the custom roms. i changed the bb in cm10 but this problem did not happen like this i had tried two different network sims. in two i did not get signal and in one i got signal. strange.
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
1- I have an alternative launcher on next version which has this option an many more

2- Yes you can delete them, no problem. Im already testing Aroma installer so next version will be as light as you want because you can chose what apps you want to install and keep the bloatware to the minimum.

3- Sync is disabled by default, to activate you must add the Xperia with facebook account and actiivate manually the sync on the options

4- See 3

5- I didnt understand the question, you want to share to facebook from xperia album?
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Its indeed strange. I suggest to try another similar baseband (maybe from another country) and if the problem persist, reflash the rom.
[Defy Android Development] jassi32:
happy to see next version coming ,

tried 3 & 4 steps

for step 3 --- no changes ,

for step 4 ques -- music part --- creating post ---could not share - please try again always .....

5th ques - sorry -- i mean , dedicated sony app for facebook .....

sharing status updates via sony app , which posts on facebook via Xperia™ Smartphone from Sony......
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
I see... let me do some test and see what can i do, to be honest i never tried that feature :P
[Defy Android Development] GeForce06:
Tried this rom for ~ 30 minutes and so far it´s really nice :good::good:

Cant wait for the new version with aroma installer......keep up the great work!!!

Until now I cannot say something about the battery life....will post some information after more testing
[Defy Android Development] mandhir.s.bajwa:
I can confirm. It does't work

Sharing anything with Facebook for Xperia or Twitter for Xperia results in Gallery or Album not working and it crashes.

I guess we need the Facebook app build into Xperia to be available to make this option work.
