No, its not there, i tried with 3 mail accounts , 1 -one about 10 hours ago... :(

EDIT:

Ok, so i have modified the zip that i have uploaded to fit my needs and created a new one only for my self, i just deleted Facebook and e.t.c. type of app's and added the ones that i use, aded some toggles, and nothing else.

I installed it with CWM, waited a 10 minutes to settle.. then i did a factory reset, and after a couple of minutes i updated what needed updating (google store, maps, gmail), rebooted, and i tried the gps and usb-tethering.

I was connected to wireless and Maps(gps) found my location in ... 15-30 seconds.

Tethering works fine at 1 try too... like everything else :)

Has anyone tried it yet ??

How do I flash the .10 kernel? And then after rooting, how do I re-flash the .89 kernel?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
No problem, i've done it for you, here it is:

SXU_6.1.1.B.1.89_by_pirej

After everybody confirms it's working please add to the OP :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Tamaskan:
Did anyone manage to root this? I can't root it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Injek:
Can someone please give the instructions on how to flash the cwm made by pirej? Or tell me whether i'm right before starting the process:

- flash b.1.89 TIM

-b.10 kernel

- root

-b. 89 kernel

- then pirej's file through CWM ( wipe dalvik / partition cache ? )

Is that correct? thank you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
the above zip file is this rom only & also its pre rooted & debloated

njoy..!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Root what ??

The original FTF or the debranded ZIP ?

edit, you are so fast.. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Tamaskan:
Not the SXu rom lol, about this tft.. it's filed with bloatware and I can't seem to root it..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Why do people always ask the same questions over and over again :confused:

Maybe because they are too lazy to search through all the pages of this thread :confused:

I don't think so, because with so many pages is difficult, confusing and you can miss it :silly:

So what do i think that always should be done :confused:

Easy, everytime something of value is added to the thread it must be added to the OP with proper info/instructions :good:

By the way the typo in this thread title reflects the spirit of the original poster and of many users... :rolleyes:

Just my 2 cents :highfive:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
I used only flashtool..

Flash SXu rom :) (89.ftf firmware)

flash b.1.10 kernel

root

flash b.1.89 kernel

DONE :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Tamaskan:
Sorry :rolleyes: I just saw it at page 3......

Which kernel are you guys using? I need better battery life. So far tried Sliding XU with wheatley+sio and lionheart+sio combo. I'm not really impressed with stand by time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Take a look at my signature.

I use stock with pegasusq / sio, more free ram and more responsive than any other kernel, tried them all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Injek:
Well i'm on stock.

But deadline and lulzactiveq is definitely the best for me. It doesn't lag and battery life is awesome! I can get slightly more than 2days with ~ 4+h on screen time. Maybe this will also work for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SalmanYousaf:

Can u pls elaborate how did u get that gov working on stock kernel

Also do we need unlocked bl?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JohnLouise:
Now i get it. bec. it a branded fw the tim doesent allow to tether coz like here in phil. theres a separate pay in order to use wifi tethering.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Injek:
Get the governors from AndyX's thread, flash it to your phone. Then use an app such as no-frills cpu to set it up. Done :)

And no, you don't need to unlock your bootloader

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
GPS finally working for me

I would like to thank you all that helped me to bring my GPS again on, espacially my thanks goes to hackerpower and pirej (I hit thanx buttons for you :)).

First of all I have to notice that connected to wifi I was able to fix immediatelly after flash of the rom, the problem was only with mobile data (wifi off).

Now GPS works, but fix is slower (less than a miute) compared to my previous B.10 fw (less than a 10 seconds).

Sometimes I have to initialize the fix for the first time by Google maps or some real gps navigation software because for example Sports Tracker is unable to fix, but once the satelites are fixed, all apps will fix after it. I will try to resolve this with GPS Status and Toolbox app, hope it solve this...

So steps I have to do to make it working are:

- delete all italian APNs (using APN backup and restore moved to system apps)

- delete all customization conf files and certificates...

Debloating the plenty of Tim apps was not needed to make GPS working but of course I debloated this rom, but not until the GPS fixes ok :)

So now I am happy with this rom and I hope that I will not find any other "bug" (don't use tethering at all).

Many thanks

Confirm everything working with your debloated/fixed .89 :good:

Wiped and formatted everything before flashing your .89 ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Nice, thank you for reporting :)

I see there are 40 downloads on dev-host and everyone else is quiet :)

Im using it and i have retested gps without wifi using only data, and it lock's at the same moment as "google maps" loads :)

little "OF topic"

@ hackerpower

Are you using unmodified " Build.prop v1.7 Ultimate Badass Battery Edition" .. i mean "as is" ??

Does your phone work better with it ?

I'm not a real supporter of all of those "everything tweaked" build.prop's as most of the tweaks don't really help, it may even have negative impact on performance/smoothness.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
I got back to the original build.prop because i was having a delay of 2-3 secs before hearing the callers voice after i answered and vice versa.

I finally can get a gps lock only with wifi and gps on :laugh:

But it still takes a while to get a lock :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] angelo.savinao:

Someone, please could extract the Swype keyboard so we can install it into a CM ROM for example ?

I have no idea on how to do it, but I know is feasible.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
Use custom keyboard like swiftkey or kii or go keyboard etc

They r the best
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Achilles.:
Swype keyboard is a paid app buddy..

Dnt ask for it here..

Nobody will help u get it for free..

Btw if u buy it u can install it directly on any CM rom and it will work just fine..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aaryav:
will this rom work without problems in connectivity and gps????i am from india.xperia u unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lvcargnini:
No No No,

I mean the Xperia soft keyboard form the .89 stock ROM , it is the best for me. I'm not asking for the "Swype" itself, I'm saying the .89 Xperia soft keyboard that came in the stock ROM, that by the way has a swype feature much better that "Swype" in my opinion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] angelo.savinao:
hi i'm from italy and gps is very very slow compared with .b10 firmware...i'm using pirej debrand version...can you tell me advices for gps?i'm losing my mind.thank you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
I think the only solution to get lightning fast gps fix is to downgrade to B.10... You can destroy Italian APN and deleto some conf files (I think these messages are at page 39 or 35), but fix should be than not quicker than cca 45s without google maps or navigation software and couple of minutes using something like sports tracker.

Better is to fix the gps with google maps and after it launch sports tracker or so. It works but it is a little bit slower.

I downgraded to B.10 because after installation of all my stuff is the "speed" the same as in B.89, no bugs were resolved and all works without problems. Maybe I have to wait for availability of some unbranded version of 89 to check it again...

Mbiba
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] angelo.savinao:
hmmmm...is it possible to flash only kernel b.10?or i mess everything up?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
Yes I have the B.10 kernel in B.89 firmware because of root, but I do not know how it was going with gps etc. I remember that I was able to do some calls and messages and did not mentioned anything wrong...

Mbiba
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] angelo.savinao:
your advice is to flash a .b10 rom like brains?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
I use official ICS release 6.1.1.B.1.10, in this forum you can find generic world version. Me I am using the O2 "branded" czech version but don't know if this make any sense for you when you are in Italy... I suppose generic world would be better for you. I think all B.10 rom are almost the same so you can try what you want and check the gps fix speed...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pauldmps:
Why do I get a different kind of lock screen sometimes (not always) with this version ?? The lock screen has a lock symbol with a circle around it.

I'll post a screenshot if I encounter it again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Andreal:
I noticed that any other rom besides stock polish Orange (.54) has some issues regarding gps, calls, reboots, so actually I'm on stock :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aca89:
Just one question. While trying to debloat this fw I accidentally deleted something from etc/customization which I shouldn't have, and also changed tether_dun and apn in .db file mentioned awhile ago. Now I can't enter "apn names" menu, it's force closing. Does anyone have any idea what I messed up?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Just flash pirej's debranded and fixed rom, the link is in my sig.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aca89:
That would be the last measure. I have some modifications installed and I'd hate to see them gone. If someone knows which file is screwed up please wright it down.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S.Nahid:
Has pirej removed shutdown animation in addition to TM apps and apn settings? I have unlocked bootloader, root access, CWM installed and Sliding U 3.4 kernel. I am currently using Zperience rom. can i just put pirej's rom in sd and install by cwm?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 0M3G4_:
yes. I just don't know about kernel, as my BL is locked.

Just do the wipes before flashing and u should be ok.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Like any other stock ROM ( B.10,54,89 and the C.10) this version DOESN'T start to lag after a few days :)

I guess it depends what you do with/on your phone :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
I think you are right, but only in case that facebook si removed and using of big browsers (Opera, Firefox, Chrome) and other memory intensive apps is only occasional.

Xperia U has not enough RAM for ICS and this leads (with combination of slow NovaThor CPU('s), to a very sad and poor ICS performance...

I do not think that this is not a hardware problem, but Sony has not enough people to optimize their ICS to NovaThor CPU to fully use its potential and 512 ram is not enought!

So my advice for everyone is to avoid using of sony phones with NovaThor or don't expect too much from it...

The solution restart the phone daily solves 90% of lags ok, but is ther any app to do the restart automatically in specific time? Didn't find anything and manual restarts are not comfortable...

Mbiba
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 0M3G4_:
Limit background processes to 4 and RAM usage will be good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] saintsimon:
Because no tweak could solve the GPS issue on .89, Im now running a hybrid solution:

- I flashed back the .54 system which I had before (I didn't bother to do a wipe)

- then I flashed .10 kernel to root again via exploit.

- after this I flashed both .89 kernel and baseband only

Now everything works again, GPS is as fast as before.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Injek:
So the call issues and lagging dialer are fixed by the new kernel and not the rom?

I'm on .54 and would like to try your method. Thx!

Try sliding kernel 3.5 for me it's working really smooth so far, I'm using Pegasus governor with sio.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S.Nahid:
could you pls tell me what are the advantages of using sliding u over stock kernel?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] oscarmbv:
Well, for start you can choose more governors for CPU, like I said Pegasus I think it works well with xu, maybe it has better ram management causing better performance and newer drivers. But I not a developer, I'm just saying that for me has improve my phone. Perhaps some developer can give you better explanation. Or you can try it and compare it by yourself, only have to flash it with recovery, but be careful choosing stock kernel and not cm, and backup nandroid just in case.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S.Nahid:
I'm already using it. but i was just wondering if it makes any good then the stock kernel. have u used both? if yesn then u must have seen significant difference.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] saintsimon:
There's not much difference, if at all.

It is easy to flash kernel and baseband only with flashtool, there's no risk. Just deselect everything you don't want to flash from the .ftf an try.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:

automatic restart

Is there any app or script to do those restarts automatically?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Sorry but i have no lag (besides the dialer lag if it's not opened for a long time), what apps do you have installed besides the system ones and what .89 version do you have?

I don't do daily restarts, what are these people doing to their phones to have to do that? You must have your phones full of crap and running almost out of ram.

Having problem searching GPS in stock .89. Will sliding xu kernel help improve GPS reception? GPS was snappy when I was using zperience Rom with sliding xu kernel so I'm not sure if it were blessing of that Rom or the kernel.

Secondly, when I was using zperience there was a cpu control option under developer option where I could select governor but there is no such option in stock .89. How to get it.:angel:

Please explain
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
It is very simple, when you are active user, especially heavy facebook and other social network user and fun of a newest browsers!

For example, you have to take a foto with camera (camera is memory intensive), upload it to facebook which in active state easilly takes cca 80 ram including extensions, now you haveve to open some link in a modern browser, which can easily take 100 MB of ram and I don't know why... Than try to open gmail for incomming mail. Next I have to mention also Feedly - takes next 100MB ... And when you have 170-200 MB ram free after clean installation, this is a big problem

In this state the phone is unable to receive the call correctly (lags, ringing after receiving the call, other site don't here you...), battery percentage changes are not shown correctly during charging, multitasking is very laggy and phone starts to lagg everytime, current ringtones are ignored or different ringtone from another contact plays instead of correct one...

Every memory intensive apps are useless without limiting the processes (shoulddown some push notifications :() or autiomatic restart every day...

Facebook is growing bigger and bigger in ram with time... ****... And I didn't mentioned all performance killers.

When talking about facebook performance, it couldn't be the the property of facebook, because two or max three days all is working, but after these period facebook start to eat all memory available, so this should be some bug from facebook developpers or something similar...

For regular user not so familiar with flashing custom roms to find some quicker ther are I think only 5 real things to avoid lags with stock roms:

1) use GB

2) limit the processes to 3-4

3) restart at least every day

4) do not use memory intensive apps (Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Feedly, Facebook...) at all, use your phone for calling and SMS...

5) avoid using Sony Smartphones with NovaThor, ICS and 512 mb ram together.

Optimized operating system looks different for me. Windows Phone you can easily run several weeks without restart. On the other hand GB is also very stable (same problems comes after cca 14 days but task killers should prolong this period) with good ram management compared to ICS on Xperias 2012. Sony's ICS after a week feels like pain in the ass...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blackkzero:
with cm10/jb, everybody forget about the last ics firmware. I can't see (excluding terra rom) any rom based on it :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Asycid:
I have a custom .89 ROM on my phone, made by a hungarian folk, and not here on XDA. I just tell this because in my opinion it overpasses every .89 rom that are on XDA, even if we speak of performance or battery life or design (ok, the last one is user-dependent :D).

If anyone wishes to try it out, just search "Mircinko v7.2" in google. It's for locked bootloader, it has aroma installer (the installer is in hungarian language, but I think it's understandable for anyone).

NOTE that you need 6.0< CWM, and you mustn't choose "duo" in the installer.

So anyone who want something different, just try it out!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
I've found the ROM you say and I'm now downloading it. But first I would know: 1) The Aroma installer is ONLY in hungarian? Because it's not really understandable! 2)The Rom is multi-language or only hungarian too?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Asycid:
Yup, the Aroma installer is only in hungarian language (as I remember), but trust me, you will understand it, because there are lot of international words in it (because of the themes and else that you can select while installing the rom).

The ROM itself contains all languages that a stock ICS contains.

- Note that you MIGHT have to rewrite the GPS configurations after installing the rom, because it has been set to hungarian servers, but first just try it, maybe it will work as is (internet is quite advanced in Hungary, so the downloading of the information of the GPS satellites might be quick).

- Only bug in the rom is that the "movies" application FC-ing, but there is a fix for that on the dev's page (I think the 7.2 version contains that patch), and the Walkman app is FC-ing for some people (for me it's not) when Wi-Fi is on and you want to browse the folders.

These bugs might come from the changeable theming (framework and else), so if you run into the walkman bug, just reinstall -rom with different theme settings.

-You can use small apps with the rom (links on the dev's page too, I think he modified it to get it running with his rom)

-If you choose Xperia Z Status bar at installation, you can't modify status bar icons (I mean the switches when you roll down the status bar) withquickpanel settings.

-If you choose the fully customizable Xperia Z launcher at install, most of the sony widgets will not work (because the launcher is not original sony, but a modified one)

All credits to the ROM's developer, Mircinko.
