BUG REPORT:

Got a strange bug.

Xperia Ray. G2KK 3.1.0, installed as OTA Update for the 2.4.0 version. Lupus GB v2 kernel.

If I activate the plane mode and then afetr some time deactivate it - the phone signals works fine, voice works also fine, but activating the mobile data does nothing - neither in 2G, nor in 3G the mobile data gets activated. Only phone restart helps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] matgras:
try a few in my index thread, all of them should work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Runner_cz:
Just for the info.

Addition: I made the Titanium backup of all the apps, then cleanly reinstalled the 3.1.0 from the scratch (with all the wipes) - and now it works. So, it seems something got not OK while OTA, but the clean install is fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bliepo:
Hey guys,

I have a small, but annoying problem with my ray. It won't automatically scan and connect to the wifi networks I entered. It scans and connects as soon as I go into the wifi settings, without me having to do anything else, but it won't connect just by itself. I am using the latest version of this rom and the lupus kernel. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? Is it the rom or the kernel?

[MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION]: Great ROM, thank you! Just one thing, is it possible to add Smart Search (Phonebook)? Taking up the Xperia phonebook itself will break the theme, so can you theme one to match KK?

No smart search in dialer

Add Smart Search to the Dialer and this ROM is complete!

Running Perfectly, Gorgeous, and Amazingly Fast.

I can add smart search to Dialer from another Package but that would ruin the Look of the Dialer. So I hope you add this soon while maintaining the look.

Dialer is Fast and Responsive!

No menu key unlock option?

Another issue.

Sorry! The Application Contacts (process com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Smart Search Dialer Solution!

The Dialer that comes with this ROM is great but it is not Perfect. You will notice that the In-Call Dialer looks different and closer to the Stock Dialer. I did not like this so I changed it.

For Those who want a Smart Dialer and Don't care about the Theme. Grab THIS Dialer

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1637027&page=1

1) Use ES File Explorer (On Google Play)

2) Copy all of the Original apks to your SD Card into a Folder - name it Gin2KitKatDialerFiles or something (Just compare the names and you should be able to find which ones need to be Copied)

ContactsImport.apk

Phonebook.apk

SemcContactsProvider.apk

SmartSearch.apk

SemcPhone.apk

SemcTelephonyProvider.apk

3) Extract the ZIP you downloaded and open this folder. In this folder you have system\app Folder with modified apks.

4) Create a New Folder on your SDCard and Call it ICSDialerForGB or something

5) Copy these files from the folder you extracted in Step 3 to the folder you created on your SD Card in Step 4.

ContactsImport.apk

Phonebook.apk

SemcContactsProvider.apk

SmartSearch.apk

6)

a - Make sure you have Root access in ES File Explorer (You have to turn it on in Tools, Select On, and Click the Root Explorer icon, then Select Mount RW and make sure both / and /system are selected.

b - Now Copy the files from your SD Card folder ICSDialerForGB again to your Root(/) /System/app folder using ES File Explorer. You can select Multiple files and just hit Overwrite.

c - Go to each file you copied into System/app and select it, then Properties, then change Permission

Owner -- Read Write

Group -- Read

Other -- Read

Leave the others unchecked.

Click Ok and Back out.

If it hangs or your phone restarts, thats ok. Reboot and Follow the above step One more time. It should work the second time around.

You will get Force Close errors etc. Hit Close.

7) Boot into recovery or use SystemCleaner app from PlayStore, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Reboot.

8) You can also Clear Data for each of these Applications under Manage Applications prior to doing the above step if you have any issue.

9) Reboot and enjoy.

Note:

The Theme is not KitKat like as clearly shown, but you get

A) Stock Buttons and it still looks Great! But best of all,

B) you get Smart Search right within the Dialer. AND

C) Clicking Phone will bring up the Phone with Call log and the Arrow on the Right will bring out Call Details from which you can Call, Send Text, View Contact, Delete from call Log, and it also shows Duration of Calls.

If my post helped you, Please send Thanks! This solution is working for me perfectly. I don't care about the Theme as long it looks Decent and it is Functional which is more important. Looks are only half of what makes a great ROM. :) Now I am off to find an In-Call Volume Boost feature for the Xperia Ray, wish me luck. I will post solutions whenever I find them.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] litemintx:
great and snappy rom, keep up the good work. thank you for this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gabrech:
Do you think it's possible to flash directly the .zip of the dialer after the flash of the rom ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
No. I do not have the Flashable zip.

I have been using this so far and after about a week or so I have noticed the following.

in Contacts

1) Holding down Contacts, you cannot VIEW Contact.

2) Gapps force closing (I am not yet sure if this issue is related)

3) Contacts Search service runs in the background taking up 25-30 MB of RAM.

So it is your CHOICE to use this. I am still hunting for a REAL Kit Kat style dialer for Gingerbread.

I have been using this in Conjunction to Contacts+ that is on the Playstore but that App uses the Stock dialer.

Will be waiting for the ROM Dev to come up with a modern Kit Kat style Dialer and Contacts.

If you don't like it, you can revert Back to the Originals from your Backup.

I personally believe that Smart Search in a Dialer causes what most people call Lag and it also uses more RAM. This is probably the reason why the ROM Dev did not include this functionality in the Dialer to begin with. We don't know for sure but we will be waiting for a Solution hopefully in the next update. The upsides to this solution is the Call Log, but you can also get that information from Contacts+ or other Call Log apps available on the Playstore.

I apologize if this has not been the best solution.

Update

2 Bugs Found

1) OTA Update is saying there is an update version 3.2.0 Available while I am already using the updated version 3.2.0 which I flashed through zip.

After cancelling the download, and rebooting the phone. The OTA Update simply doesn't work. When clicked, Results in black screen. Only way to back out is by killing the App.

2) When Notification bar is pulled down to access notification area, pressing Back button does nothing. You have to swipe it back up.

3) Cannot View Contact

In Contacts, Call Log, if you click VIEW CONTACT< You get error

"The Application Contacts (process com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

Launcher in Use: Holo Launcher from Playstore.

Has anyone found how to get Voice typing to work without internet connection?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dcaan:
Agree with poin 1 & 2,

but number 3, it was work so far.

I don't get any problem when I "View Contact" from "Call Logs".

sorry for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
You cannot Click on a Contact and VIEW It. There is no such option. Only from the Call Log which results in error I described above. You can only EDIT Contact but not View it. I also realize that offline voice typing is not available on gingerbread. The reason why I do not know but the phone is fully capable of handling this if the required language files can be integrated into the keyboard. Google Search app is entirely different on gingerbread than it is on JellyBean. Prefer Gingerbread for its stability, speed, and all functions. No severe bugs. Can be used daily without any issues.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Davest87:
New version is coming!!

From Xperia Play Thread:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
Changes I have made to this ROM for my personal use so far

Latest Baseband 86

Lupus Kernel for Ray. This Kernel has Dual Recoveries and very useful.

Max Clock: 1.613 Ghz

Min Clock: 249 Mhz

Governor: OnDemandX previously IntelliDemand

IO Sched deadline

Moved Dalvik-Cache to System partition using an init.d script.

Dalvik to Cache partition resulted in Slow boot ups and System partition had plenty of space left for Dalvik so I moved it there.

Issues So far: Note I have already stated some of these before.

1) Cannot View Contacts in Contacts App itself. Can only edit them or edit before calling.

2) Dialer App very slow. After clicking a Contact, a pop appears that gives you option to call or text or use google maps.

Click on Phone, and it takes a good 30 seconds for Dialer to initiate the call.

3) No contact search in the dialer like in KitKat. You have to click on Contacts and select one.

4) Updater keeps insisting there's an update even when on the latest update.

5) Unexplained slowdowns, unresponsive on widgets, etc, (I have changed the governor from IntelliDemand to OnDemand so I will report back in a few days but this maybe just a Kernel issue)

Best ROM I have ever used on this Ray. I hope this next update fixes bugs and updates better features. Will start from Scratch on the new one.

Edit: Note: Issues 2 and 5 may be related to a certain Widget. I have removed it and am testing again.

If this does not work, then I will try to change to the Stock Kernel and see what happens. If that does not work, I will Flash older baseband radio. Will keep you guys posted.

I don't think these issues are ROM related, rather something else is going on and I'm not sure what. And yes, Vokal you are the best! :)

Edit 2: Found the cause of major Lag and Slowness. It was due to a Widget App called WIDGETSOID. This is NOT the only phone this app managed to screw and slow down. I emailed the Developer and never heard a thing from them. This App slowed the Galaxy S2, S3, and S4 to a crawl. Testing on Single core CPU, same result. I advise anyone to stay AWAY from too many Widgets or use the Smallest sized Widgets if you must. Widgetsoid was causing major problems and I advise against using it.

Removed Outlook app as well and switched to K9 Mail. Also helped a great deal.

Also, Lupus kernel is slower to boot up the phone than the stock kernel but offers other improvements not found in Stock such as Recovery, 2way call recording, etc. Will keep updating with info if anything changes, but so far it is running great.

Keep rocking Vokal! :D

I installed lupus kernel and this rom and used it for a week and here are my observations.

the rom crashed several times and rebooted.

it can't handle heavy apps like facebook properly. most of the time facebook crashed and prompted me to force close.

Also in each and every time facebook crashes, the synced facebook contact info was also lost. :eek::eek:

And i have to clock it to 1.017 GHz to work with out lags :(:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
Lupus kernel for gingerbread is generally very slow to boot, and I believe it causes issues with this ROM.

You can try changing the cpu governor and scheduler, from intellidemand to ondemand and from sio to deadline and see if that helps. I also don't recommend overclocking. Use noFrills to see what it is set to without overclocking and play around with that. But in general I agree, lots of force closing, etc. Lupus is the problem but I use it for its dual recovery, and backup ability and also it allows 2 way call recording!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arzenic:
Thanks for the suggestions ocd :good::good:

Yeah it has its own pros too. any suggestion on another kernel i should try owt??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
So far that's the only kernel that reliably does 2way call recording, and also offers both TWRP and Clockwork as recoveries, even though its TWRP recovery fails to mount the SDCard as USB but I suppose its not such a big deal. I have mine running at 1.2Ghz but even at Stock, and With this particular ROM, some applications Freeze randomly or Hang in the middle of an operation and Force Closing them doesn't really do anything but jams up the system. I am using Holo Launcher so that could potentially be a problem as well. There are so many things that could be the case that I simply don't have the time or patience to seek out each solution. But my guess is, it's not the ROM itself, its the Kernel that is more likely to be the culprit. However, the phone works perfectly fine 95% of the time and I only use it when I go out because of its tiny size in my pocket real estate. If you want absolute reliability, use the stock kernel, but it may not have the feature set you need.

init.d and swappines

Probably is a little off topic, but I want try ram swap with this rom. I can only flash the stock kernel and I notice that Gin2kitkat hasn’t init.d support. I can install init.d script and after that activate the swappiness functions?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19419777&postcount=2

Note: Probably isn't possible
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
From what I know, you can get init.d support by Rooting and installing busybox. You can install that with Flashtool.

I have init.d support and I use that to put the entire Dalvik cache into the System directory using System to Dalvik script. This makes more space available for apps on the Data partition. RAM Swap is probably not a great idea because internal storage memory is orders of magnitude slower than RAM. Your best bet is to only install efficient applications and stay away from apps that cause memory leeks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] matgras:
Don´t use swap unless you´re completely certain of what you´re doing.

it´s only going to make your phone slower and if you´re gonna install it anyway i´d recommend you to get a class 10 d card

Performance Update on Fresh Re-Install

I have re-installed this ROM.

This is what I have done.

1) LuPus Kernel > TWRP > Wipe System, Cache, Data(Factory Reset)

2) Flash G2KK Rom AND Flash Update

3) Flash Lupus Wifi zip

4) Flash Koushik Dutta's SuperUser

5) Wipe Dalvik and Wipe Cache (again)

6) Reboot

7) Connect Wifi, Setup Google account (Now it is syncing, you can also delete accounts.db in data/system/ to do this if your google sync is causing issues)

8) Install ES File Explorer from Google Play, Install all my apps I backed up in ES File Explorer, Install Holo Launcher, which allows resizing of widgets such as the beautiful and simple Analog clock included in the rom.

Now Contacts App is fixed. Clicking on a Contact actually shows Contact Details. (I had mucked it before messing with different dialers and contacts app, this was my own doing, Fixed now, so anyone reading my old post about this issue, can ignore that issue because it works.)

If you click on a contact, it shows contact Details. However I do not know what the INFO button does at the bottom. Clicking on that does nothing so far that I can tell.

Waking from SLEEP after half an hour of activity, the Screen takes a while to wake up. This is a problem in Lupus Kernel. the ROM is fine. I will mess with CPU governor and scheduler and post which one is the best. I am guessing it is OnDemand and Deadline.

Conclusion. Rom is running good and I will update this thread if I notice anything. You do not need to install any Sony FTF if you already have an unlocked bootloader and you already have a custom kernel installed. However, you do need to flash the latest Baseband, and Kernel if you have not done so.

If anyone needs any files, they can be found here on XDA and if you cannot find them, let me know and I will find them or send you mine.

p.s. I removed the KitKat easter egg app. :)

Thanks Vokal and everyone for all the info and help :)

Performance Update Report

Using LuPus Gingerbread Kernel V2 (as stated before)

Old Issue STILL remains even after Re-installation of ROM so I am thinking it is definitely NOT a Rom issue anymore.

After the phone has been running for 5-6 hours, making a simple phone call is a major Drag!

The Phone application ALWAYS takes an average of 5 seconds to open.

Going into Contacts, click the number, and it takes close to 10 seconds for the Dialer to actually start dialing the number.

Going into Settings > Performance -- sometimes does not even Open, just a black screen and it has to be killed. After killing the process, it still does not open. Have to Reboot phone.

Some applications constantly freezing while working.

I have tried all governors and schedulers - The ones that worked I found were

OnDemand and Deadline

But Dialer was freezing on every single suitable one, such as OnDemandX and Intellidemand(x) along with SIO, NOOP, and Deadline.

The problems start after a few hours the phone has been on.

I am thinking this is a Kernel problem. Can someone suggest a BETTER kernel that will just work so I can work instead of having to drop my work just to make a phone call?

Is anyone having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ocd_amp:
Second Post Update

Problem appears to be with Deep Sleep.

Once the phone has been in Sleep for a while, (after wifi turns itself off), waking it up and then start dialing a number, the Dialer freezes.

Replaced Lupus kernel with DoomKernel-2011-12-28-1201.img (Can be flashed with Flashtool - unlocked bootloader only!)

Flashed WIFI-signed-original_urushi_GingerBreadv2-full.zip

you can find both right here on XDA, if someone wants links I can post them as I am short on time right now.

I also put the Xperia T boot animation FWVGA 480x854 which can also be found here on XDA.

Now I am just going to leave the phone alone for a while and try making a call. If the issue persists, I will contact Vokal and see if perhaps we can go with a different Dialer (in call dialing screen)

Also the In Call dialing screen when calling Voice Mail is not the correct display Ration.

The Keyboard can also be improved. Period, Comma, etc, keys next to Space bar, rather than the Settings key. The settings key causes problems when typing in Full Keyboard Portrait mode. I would much rather prefer a bigger Space bar.
