oh jeez i tried looking and i found one called nove kernel 1.6 but that crashed my whole mobile...

can you or anybody please direct me to wich you spoke of? that kernel + stock.. i have no clue what that is sorry

my mobile got 8 hours with this rom btw
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
This kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...TOCK+] V5.3 [23-02-13] Recovery Independent!!

Nova kernel wouldn't work, that's for CM10. I think you should read a little better what each kernel does if you just flash it ;).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rajeev:
Thanks bro. Thank you so much for this awesome app. Actually i am looking for an app like this for a long time... Finally got it.... Thanks again bro....

Im super noob so plz be gentle.

Im coming from a galaxy s 4g so i know nothing about the XS.

My XS is updated to. 55 or something the newest update.

My question is if i use stock+ kernel(seems to be a fav for most) and xzx2 rom i should be good?

Another q. Will i need to do anything after to be stable for an everyday rom setup?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rajeev:
Welcome to this great rom. Stock + and this rom will giv u a blasting performance. Dont worry about that.. And pls note that dont use any custom kernel if your bootloader is locked.. Custom kernel is only for unlocked bootloader.. I know u knew it.. But just telling..

And u dont need any extra settings for this rom to perform better.. For me i am always disable the animations from settings... But any way pls read the first main page for instructions... U will get all the basic things from there by niaboc... And go for this rom.. Its a superb rom... U know i am always go back to XTX7 after trying his every update of rom. But regarding this XZX2 i will not go back to XTX7... I am happy with this now....

i must be a huge noob for making it crash again....i have no clue what i'm doing wrong

i downloaded the kernel and installed it with cwm, but when then he wouldn't booth anymore.. what am i missing?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Always wipe Dalvik cache before or after installing a kernel. But do you have an unlocked bootloader? Can't install kernels if the bootloader is locked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stojshic:
You don't have to wipe anything before/after flashing the kernel. At least I don't, and never had any problem. Before XS I had Nexus S, with really big community and dev support, and there was big discussion about kernel flashing and wiping, so it is not my oppinion, but the oppinion of some really experianced devs...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rajeev:
No need to wipe data or cache for flashing kernels.. And i think he was in a locked bootloader... Better he flash the stock rom now....

I am having troubles using it and i get an error that a "Desktop Backup Password" may be the problem. I checked and there is no backup password set.

Could someone install this and give it a shot and backup an app? Its a real cool app and really want to buy the premium version,

I want to put XZXperience 2 rom on my Xperia S (locked bootloader). To do that i have to use 2.50 firmware. I flashed it and have lost root access :crying:. Then i tried to root it again with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry, but it did not worked for several times (i checked and it was not my mistake). Then i succesfully rerooted it with acroHDrootingKit (downgrade on gingerbread and then flashing 6.1.A.0.452) but now i am stuck on 6.1.A.0.452 because if i try to flash 2.50 i will lose root again!!! Does enyone have idea what should i do?

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
When ur rooted, install cwm. As long as u have cwm, u can flash superuser (via cwm) and gained root

After you've flashed any rom via cwm, never forget to flash superuser (and flash cwm too, but superuser is more important)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Good to know that wipes aren't necessary, I always did them for good measure (and TWRP always gives you the option after flashing stuff). But as I said, it was most likely because he has a locked bootloader.

There is no way that Bin4ry's method doesn't work on a 2.50 rom. Are you absolutely sure you aren't using a 2.55 rom? Use this or this link. (the same file, just different hosts).

If I would want to increase desktop switching speed in home launcher (animation for listing desktop pages or/and apptray pages) which xml I must edit? Do I have to play with /anim xml or it's somewhere else? (values, layout... ?)

Can you help me just with this tiny hint?

Those animations are too slow for my taste and feels kind of laggy. I think increasing speed will solve that, and then I could delete Nova Launcher :)

I already managed to customize launcher for 4x5 desktop grid, but those animations really bothers me .

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lehai:
Hi,

i am using this Rom since yesterday and yeah, thanks for this great ROM ! But i notice 2 small issues:

1. By touching home button (onscreen button) it is laggy.

2. When i start phone app to start a call, it always takes too long til the num pad appears (about 3 seconds)

--> Are this issues normal or should i do something to improve that?! I did a clean install and use Stock+ kernel with wheatley governor and sio scheduler

3. I have to write in german and vietnamese. So i need a keyboard to write vietnamese and installed already. But now i can not change from Xperia keyboard to vietnamese keyboard directly because there is no key on the xperia layout to change input. On vietnamese keyboard such key exists. Where can i get standard keyboard of ICS to solve this issue? The standard keyboard of Jelly Bean has the key to change input methods.

Thanks and regards.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Envious_Data:
Bugs i found

Voice Typing on Latin keyboard doesent work (it says Xperia keyboard has stopped after clicking on it)

Movie studio app fails to export files , and sometimes import and often FC's

Mount type , doesent work , (MTP or MSC it doesent show up and i have to remount with SD mounter

I hope that you fix these bugs , or is it just my stupidity , but its been like that in many different situations (e.g differnt kernels)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gopiraj_m:
1) Did you check if there's any lag on using the capacitive Home button? is it same? If it is, then that's the way it works.

2)This issue has been one of the biggest glitch on all Xperia Phones running ICS. So, we can do nothing rather than wait for Official JB release.

3)You can always download the AOSP keyboard and use it just like a normal apk. Just Google it, you'll find it.

But as you're saying you already installed your language keyboard, you should first enable it from the language and input settings, check the keyboard which you'd like to use or you can also assign defaults as per your needs. While you type, drop down the notification bar and tap on "Choose input methods" and you're done.

Only if niaboc approves! I'm not sure if launcher is his port, but ether way I don't wish to take credit for anything.

Guys, you have to be aware how much time and work is required for even simplest modification. I can't imagine how much hours niaboc spent for creating ROM like XZX. It's logical for devs to be sensitive on stealing and taking credits for they work.

This is sooo annoying!

Try this: open dialer and then close it with "back" button. Now if you open dialer again it will take some time to load.

Now: close dialer with "home" button, and now dialer opens instantly...

We need to lock dialer in memory somehow to avoid this.

Have some one solved a problem of battery drain? I've installed this rom on clear .50 and what i gained is 30% battery usage by Android OS. It looked much worse, but i've made some calls and used Facebook, ealaiar it was 50% battery reserved for Android, throug whole day. What is wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Nice. What did you did to achieve that? I changed the right files and line, but when I recompiled I got a smaller apk, and the process to finish the file is different than framework-res.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spliffos:
Home.apk has one dependency - SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

framework-res.apk isn't dependent on any other apk

That's only difference in recompiling those apk's, AFAIK

Mine looks exactly the same, but I see minor differences in dip values. Still, looks same and that's kinda weird :)

One thing still bothers me, and I don't have solution - put stock digital clock widget, and you can see that time and date are too close to each other. Don't know if we can give widgets little more vertical space (height), 'cos there is space, but it's unused.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Both depends on both. I have both installed. The thing is: when I recompile any apk, they are smaller then the original you decompiled. With framework-res, you need to remove resources.arsc from the apk, add it again, then move AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder from original apk to New one. Niaboc said with other apps (such as Home.apk), the process is different. But I don't recall what he said to do. I think the subject changed and we both forgot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
Process is in fact the same but you are forced to do the resources.arsc trick with framework-res

But you can do it all the time, so apk will have nearly same size as original.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
So just xml file and META folder? No need for resources.arsc?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spliffos:
You can't keep old resources.arsc if you change code in xml-s. Need to compile new one.

Maybe you did that (keeping old resources) if you were theming framework (changing png-s, but not the code).

I use APK Multi-Tool, it's step-by-step, very user frendly, it asks you what to do in every step of compiling

im using XSL, seems the stock kernel + support the XSL in the clock speed

the v5.2, another question, coz im using advances ics kernel xD so can i just flash it or what ?

coz this stock kernel + got superSU (the one i like)

and the Advance ICS use superuser ( i do not like it)

ty
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rajeev:
The stock plus 5.2 kernel have 1.62 gzh overclock speed. Not 1.7 gzh that match with SL. Better u stay with advanced kernel. And u can install latest SuperSU from playstore. After install just open it it. It will ask for binary update. Just press ok. Then it will ask for Superuser permission. Allow. Thats all. Now u can uninstall Superuser... Any way u can try Stock + kernel. Just flash it via fastboot using flashtool or adb command.. Lets try... If u have any problem occurs means u can flash back Advanced Kernel via fastboot..

First - On stock ICS when new massage comes, there was nice notification on lockscreen (also with option to show text of this message or private mode without displaying text), which i can slide to read like slide to unlock but slide on message, You all propably know what i mean.

With this new JB lockscreen this feature is unavailble?

I can't find this here.

I miss that little thing..really nice.

Second - maybe little noobish but, how to take screenshot? Both on stock ICS and here on XZX2 i can't. I press together vol- + power but nothing happens..I tried every combination with volume keys and power :(
