games

talkin abt games they run very well on this rom i have tested fifa 14 v1.2.8 , MC4, fc d -day
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
Thank you so much for keeping this ROM alive,i was waiting for this update.Such a perfect rom.Good work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Ok here is the review for new update 2.5.0

1. It's smooth and fast like butter. The apps load fast and multitasking is amazing.

2. The battery life have improved further for me. It's now 5-5.20hrs of screen on time from 4-4.30hrs on my typical usage.

3. Everything from physical keyboard to notifications led all are working perfectly as they should.

4. Google play fc problem solved by clearing the data and cache of the app after the update.

5. The internal phone memory have increased after the update by 60MB for the same installed apps. Maybe because the apps were odexed in the update.

6. I like the new battery percentage which have bigger, readable fonts.

7. The task manager looks sleek.

Now the only bug not working is the physical keyboard lights including the light on the front for 3 buttons under the screen.

Although, wherever I change the brightness of the screen the keyboard lights do come up for 30 seconds and then again don't work.

[MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION]:

Feature request:

1. Would like to see a script to odex and zipalign the apps after a certain period of time. That could help in fighting the usual slowdown that happens after some time of usage.

2. Would also love to see the gaming tweaks that increases performance for XPlay users in the next update.

Would like to have recommended scripts from your side.

Is it possible to lock screen rotation? It's very sensitive and it can be annoying...

Other than that, great job!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Either install Xperia S launcher. Which is light and have more features than the default one that come with this Rom. It doesn't have the rotation problem as well.

Or

Disable the auto rotation through the notification toggle.

If you need auto rotation then just enable through notifications.

Small Update

Just a small update.

Changelog:

2.5.1

- Added Android 4.3 Wallpapers

- Fixed Mogami Framework Small Bugs

- Fixed Zeus Framework Small Bugs

- Fixed Mogami Led Notifications Bug

- Fixed Dutch Strings in Settings

- Fixed Some Spanish Strings (Thanks to [MENTION=4287448]shocito[/MENTION])

- Fixed OTA Update Auto Flash on Reboot

Note: Do not forget to re-download the updated Addons!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
I don't know how but after flashing this update my keyboard and front backlight have started working perfectly. Have you changed something in that:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:??

It seems as if all bugs have been rectified for pro. :D

I would be testing it more though. By the way where are those android wallpapers that you mentioned in new update. I couldn't find them. Anyways, you have done a great work. Now, just one request. I would like to see the Xplay gaming tweak in this rom as well.

I tested 'crossbreader' and 'fly on mod' with 'sqlite optimization'.

Crossbreader certainly works. And sqlite optimization have improved the loading of my office documents and I felt that contacts have also become smother(although they are already quite smooth). 'fly on mod' is a mixed bag. Some things improved(apps loading etc) while some others like (scrolling) deteriorated. So, I would need to test those things.

My score in antutu have increased by 250-300 points after installing crossbreader and fly on mod. Certainly, I believe something positive have definately happened after installing those two tweaks.

I have so little time to develop this rom, that's why the update was so small, I'll release a new update next weekend, will investigate some mods to improve performance!

Glad to hear Keyboard is working now! I can add that to changelog then :P

Actualy that keyboard fix I posted a few days ago already got the keyboard fixed, I was almost 100% sure it was fix, but you said it was not, but I think its because you flashed the percentage addon after the fix :P

what I did to fix all bugs:

in bools.xml

changed

<bool name="config_automatic_brightness_available">true</bool>

to

<bool name="config_automatic_brightness_available">false</bool>

then used integers.xml from Mogami framework in Gin2JellyBean framework, with a few values changed to match the best values for this rom, and voila! :P

On MK16i with version 2.5.1 i have issue with google play store, it cant load pages on application, update and installing apks work via web google play service, that mean that google services works just play store doesn't work properly on device, everything else is excellent with rom ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Furosemid:
No Problem for me, eveything works fine! Perfect ROM. The only small thing I'm missing is to sort contact with the last name.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Just open the google play app through settings in app manager or through rom toolbox pro. And delete cache and data for this app. Restart and it would start without a problem.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
Here is a little feedback on the tweaks that I had tried on this rom till now.

1. Crossbreader: network speed and promptness have increased. Smoothness is good. Very light. Overall recommended.

2. Fly on mod': mixed bag. Somehow scrolling becomes very shuttery specially in tapatalk, browsers etc. But, increased battery life. Some tweaks like automatic zipalign, sd cache are good. But entropy was badly implemented compared to crossbreader. Sqlite script increased the office documents loading phenomenaly. But memory management was not as good as this rom's default one(uninstalled for now) but would install specific parts from that. I will leave a feedback.

3. Supercharger script: unable to run that. Does this rom support this?

Or have anyone tried this on this rom. I am having a hard time running it. Does this rom have intd support? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a rooted xperia pro with locked bootloader. If that matters!

You need init.d support to use/maximize use of V6 Supercharger.

I believe there is a thread which discusses how to enable init.d support on stock kernel :)

otherwise, its still possible to run V6 Supercharger without init.d. In /data there is a V6 Supercharger folder using SManager, run the Supercharger script at boot. Do the same for other scripts generated by V6 Supercharger.

Hope it helps :)

Cross posting isnt allowed on xda. A thorough read of rules wil be enough. And you are posting no rom/mods/tweaks/kernel that you crosspost. And if you need help I said above keep patience instead of crossposting.

[MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION]: After some hit and trial. Now, I am using 8,12,24,60,70,80 settings on super charger script and getting more than 150mb(200 on fresh start) free all the time with everything running in background.

It have super smooth performances with multitasking. Although, I still feel that something is missing. And I want to prefect them even more. So, I want to know the default settings that you are using for this rom?

Ironically, No mod have been able to provide such smooth performance as your rom. Still, I want to consider all options and settings.

Also, you must consider including crossbreader script in this rom. As it not only increased my battery life. It had a very positive visible mpact on my network speed, ui smoothness as well.

I was going through other threads as well and came across this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41820392

It's a GPU accelerator script.

The developer claims that it works with all the GPU's. And the users have informed a better ui experience and an overall improvement of 200 points on antutu benchmarks even on the lowest class devices.

It also seems to have enabled GPU rendering in UI. Just like ICS on GB. The games have also improved.

Does anybody have any info or past experience regarding the same?

It looks interesting to me.

I've been using DooMKernel for almost 2 years and i was satisfied with it so much,but when i tried this ROM it was ok,but lupus is better at least for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vokal1992:
Ok, sorry if I'm late, but transparency isnt't enabled in my status bar, it will be enabled in the next update.

Anyway here is how you enable it:

1 - Decompile the SystemUI.apkj, go to smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\StatusBarService.smali

2 - Search for:

new-instance v0, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;

const/4 v1, -0x1

const/16 v3, 0x7d0

const/16 v4, 0x48

const/4 v5, 0x2

3 - Replace:

const/4 v5, 0x2

for:

const/4 v5, -0x3

Now you can use transparente colors or images in your status bar

this will just enable Status Bar Transparency, then you must edit the status bar.xml or statusbar_background.png
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
I have seen transparent status bar in modded JB roms. And it looks good. Maybe that can be implemented in our ROMS as well.

Though, depends on all users as to what they would like to see.

My vote goes to transparent status bar in Gin2JB. :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
The 2.5.2 update would make your devices even more smooth and responsive. It's pretty good.

No matter how long I have been running the mobile still the apps and games are running smoothly. :D:thumbup:

Also, One feature request:

Is it possible to access the notification toggle menu even when the screen is locked? I have seen this feature in the latest JB. You don't need to unlock the mobile. Just slide down to access the notifications. Makes work quite easy. :D

Now this would be awesome JB touch for your ROM. Ofcourse you would need to change some icons and stuff, make it fullscreen like you did now but... It's awesome :) And it has flashlight toggle.

One more:

Lockscreen with camera button on right. Another great addition to your ROM, it would speed things up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepershades:
you can actually run those mods with this rom simultaneously without waiting for someone to blend them for you, as I'm doing the same thing with the original release by that developer - just flash the zip files via the recovery menu and you're done - getting scared about buying a new phone now to be honest - the development choices available here are really, really excellent........
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Yeah I know that but I think those mods are great for this ROM, they should be implemented ;). And when he'd do it he would change the colors and icons to make it "JB".
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vokal1992:
But this Rom already have Camera Shortcut in the lockscreen :eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Not for me. Never had that :S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
I'm gonna try this tonight and report how it works with this ROM

EDIT:

Ok i tried both mods and they work just fine,status bar toggles need some work for smoothness but its fine.And flashing status bar mod changes wifi and signal icons,stock so i don't like it,but it's pretty good

EDIT 2:

So i just changed status bar icons and now it's all good,but there is no clock,that's a bit annoying but maybe moderator will add that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pren22:
Mine neither,not until i flashed this mod,now i have camera icon instead of sound...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Just like you said, it's a bit buggy. It scrolls weird (toggles drop down if you just click on statusbar and when you slide down it 'slides' invisibly behind the toggles which looks really weird when closing)... And for all toggles we'll have to get back on old settings.apk.

EDIT:

I just themed that https://db.tt/TaQr95Xw lockscreen by [MENTION=5240311]rastigo[/MENTION] with camera slide to Gin2JB style, obviously users on ArcS don't have it.
