Hi Mike,

Thanks for the excellent ROM, by far it's the most responsive, fastest, and smoothest 4.2.2 ROM I've tried on Ray. I've been using it for 24 hours now, and here are some of the bugs I've found:

- Battery drain - 25% in 7hours sleept over the night, I thought that my phone was stuck in 3G, then I switched to 2G only and went into my workplace where no phone signal can reach, battery drain about 25% in 2 hours, and I can feel the heat in my pocket. I wonder what's causing that...

- Bluetooh works from PC send file to my Ray, but can't send files from my Ray to PC, didn't try with bt headset though..

- USB tethering doesn't work

- 480p video recording works, but Gallery/Camera fc a few times before it works...

- 3 reboots at night when I was testing every functions extensively... maybe I pushed it too hard......

The rest are perfect and very very smooth, makes me feel like I'm on 2012 device.

*Note: I didn't wipe data when I switched from iriijo's 4.2.2 to yours, and all still appears to work perfectly.

All in all, great job and this could be a daily 4.2.2 ROM if the battery drain is fixed.

Thanks Mike!

the sporadic reboots may be related to the wlan driver while the device is in sleep mode. i get no reboots there with wlan off.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duxxyuk:
Following on from CressKH's post I too agree that this is a _very_ good ROM. I've been using it as my daily driver for the weekend and it FWIW I'm keeping it.

Firmware : mike_cm-10.1-20130503-UNOFFICIAL-urushi.zip

Kernel : mike_cm-10.1-20130506-boot-urushi.img

Here's what I've noticed:

GPS works perfectly - Compass works as it should in google maps - I'm well pleased with this - Cheers !!

Unqualifiably smooth - no hiccups at all in the GUI (is that the result of the v3 kernel ?)

Battery consummation is quite high - perhaps there's some deep sleep issues to look at.

Wi-Fi tethering works but is not reliable - As soon as I start loading it (connecting to it with my tablet) I get the impression that some sort of buffer overload occurs causing the AP to disappear from view - There is no error on the phone. Restarting the WiFiAP works but again the system appears to be quite fragile.

The same camera issue as for CM10 - the preview doesn't appear - I'm wondering if it's worth looking at the changes FXP brought to CM10.0 as they resolved this same issue.

Keep going on this excellent rom - Cheers - Let me know if you're ever in lyon - I'd be well please to buy you a pint or three :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CressKH:
Hi duxxyuk,

For the camera, you can try the fix by Rizal Lovins, the preview works but sometimes the camera/gallery still fc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2255797

Just now when I was in my workplace without phone signal, I had a reboot whenever I took any picture with camera...

I think it should be network problem causing the reboots...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duxxyuk:
Cheers CressKH - I've got that already - It's not bad at all but it drops a second camera icon in my apps... IMHO this isn't resolved until I can download a firmware and take a picture right off the bat...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shorinryu:
I'm quite certain that going in an area with poor signal is even worse. You have left your antenna on so the phone is actively seeking a network signal regardless of whether the data setting is 2G/3G. That creates a greater battery drain because the phone is constantly scanning. Should have tried leaving your phone in airplane mode for a while and see how battery drain is.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kafka Datura:
You're right, regardless, the battery life on this rom really has a problem. Never lasted half a day on my phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jimtonic01:
with radios off the drain is about 0.3%/h
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shorinryu:
One other thing is this is using the 3.0.8 kernel which has yet to be tweaked sufficiently. I guarantee that using this ROM with a 2.6.x kernel will have better overall battery life but lack some of the responsiveness. It will get better with time thanks to the greats Deva working on this :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CressKH:
Yes I'm aware of that will drain my battery faster. But when I was on other rom (PAC, iriijo's 4.2.2 rom, fxp cm10) that didn't happen, the battery drain due to constant signal seeking is barely noticeable.

And I've tried change to flight mode, the battery drain was quite the same and the heating of it caused many reboots.

Another issue I've discovered:

- WiFi AP not working, it stopped once I tried to load pages from my laptop and I couldn't connect to the AP again

- Bluetooth internet sharing not working either

- USB tethering not working as I mentioned in previous post, so that all 3 makes me unable to share my internet.

Thanks for paying attention to my feedback.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

True and that also requires a bunch of testers reporting their feedback and wait patiently for the devs to fix them :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
Battery issues and usb tethering are recognized problems.

I cannot recreate your wifi ap problem (other than "wifi is generally unstable and goes down every now and then")

If you can recreate and describe the problem, and you run the latest rom and kernel,

Then please open an issue on the common "nAa kernel with cm10.1" bugtracker and provide a logcat:

https://github.com/M66B/cm-xtended/issues?page=1&state=open

It won't take you long, and it helps the developers. You said it yourself, they need Testers (not just users) :)

Edit: in airplane mode, i have very low drain (would last for weeks). Looks like you have a wakelock; check with bbs or just reboot. Wifi AP has been linked to wakelocks before...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
great work, mike! really nice ROM, pretty stable as well (for now)! Only bug I am experiencing right of the bat is with WiFi...even though I've kept it to be always on and connected to my home network, it seems to disconnect when asleep (or drops connection) and reestablishes connection when taken out of sleep...wondering if anyone has any solutions for these wifi drops? On the newest build with newest test kernel. Thanks all!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] waynekirby:
Turn WiFi optimization off in WiFi settings and you'll not get any disconnects during sleep anymore :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
Thanks, bro!

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

btw, am I correct in understanding that mike intends to release weekly 'nightlies' for this rom for the urushi? That would be awesome!!

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ----------

Thanks for the suggestion man, but doesn't seem to have helped. WiFi still seems to disconnect while asleep, and reconnects when awakened! :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dark ryder:
The rom is really good thanks for the work! Hope you continue to support our device! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CressKH:
Here's my logcat when I opened up my wifi ap:

I checked on my battery consumptions when I woke up in the morning, apparently my device keeps waking up in an hour interval or so... wifi/data/bt/gps all off, but there's still 30% battery drained in 8h.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
Been getting a few random soft-reboots. Any idea how I can create a log for that for the dev?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
Here M66B's howto:

https://github.com/M66B/cm-xtended/wiki/How-to-get-logs

(I don't understand how to get Android logs after a 'soft reboot' - I think you can't, but does anyone know for sure?)

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

Is that with the basic phone active, if yes: 2G or 3G?

30% is too much for 2G and nothing else active. Some people have high drain with 3G.

Have you checked for wakelocks (BetterBatteryStats)?

As a baseline, I would:

1. turn everything off (GPS, BT, WLAN)

2. enable Airplane mode

3. reboot

4. wait a minute

5. set a Custom Reference in BBS

6. turn off the screen

7. let the phone sleep for a few minutes

8. check in BBS if the phone was asleep most of the time

if not -> fix wakelock

9. let the phone sleep for a few hours

10. check in Settings > Battery if the battery drain was close to zero

if not -> ?

11. turn on ONE thing

12. let sleep, check the battery, goto 11.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
exactly what I should have asked in the first place...:) how to get a log for soft-reboots...its happened 3 times in an hour now, and happens usually when a text message comes in (not every time one comes in)...so not sure if there's a connection there!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CressKH:
Hi cajhin,

Thanks for helping but I've changed to LuPuS v7 now as my work requires my phone to be trouble-free and things seem to get a lot better, it's just BT not working in LuPuS v7.

I will try to get a dump in BBS when I got time to test again for mike's kernel.

FYI, I set network to automatic and it was switched on to 2G while I was sleeping, still it drained 30% in 8h.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gutzzz:

mike, I see a rom update for smultron in your image - can we urushi folk expect one too! ;) And an kernel update! Wow!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
I disagree - I would say :D :laugh:

You guys rock!

From which repository do you build the kernel? nAa or c42semc or semc7x30 ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
semc7x30

Not ready for upload yet, still some bugs to solve. Expect the build this week.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CressKH:
What can we expect from this ROM and kernel update?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LexShatus:
as well explained at the beginning of the post, is equal at rom cm10.1, and with respect to the kernel, which achieves a perfect fusion for their function is always the best.

PS.- no matter if it is not well written, I hope you understand (:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
Well, we can "expect" that Mike does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. With that out of the way...

The big change in the next release is of course the 3.4 kernel. For the end user this only means different bugs, probably not very interesting.

For a daily driver, I recommend you use something else and come back in a month or two.

Mike's next release is still an important step, because it looks like all the kernel developers have jumped from 3.0 to 3.4. So, if cm10.1 supports the 3.4 kernel, it will benefit from all future kernel development; and if all goes really well (code is clean, binaries are stable, and developers are happy) we might get official CM support for our Xperias again (as I understood FXP, a big reason why they dropped 2011 Xperias, is that development is a pain in the ass with the ancient FroYo 2.6 kernel).

Also, with 3.4, there's a much better chance we'll see a usable Android 4.3. But that's all in the future.

And by the way: on 12-Dec-2012 fxp said that kernel 3.4 will take "from 6 months to never". Which means ~4 weeks left to beat his forecast :)

@ anyone: please correct me if I forgot/misunderstood sth. Still trying to wrap my brain around what's going on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
I probably know even less than you, but my sense is that devs are slowly giving up on the chances of getting 3.4 and 10.1 fully stable on our devices - might be too difficult to pull off...We will see how it goes, but for now props to Mike for pushing on with everything...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
I guess you refer to M66B stopping his release. Well, he's still active and contributing to 10.1, so I hope that was just a case of being royally p*ssed off last week.

Sure it's difficult - but we have supersmart developers, too :)

I see it as R&D - nAa kernel 3.4 is D.evelopment, and [3.4 + cm10.1] is R.esearch (highly experimental - let's do it and see what happens). Well, in that phase, you don't need users whining that stuff on the research branch does not meet their expectations of quality...

Well, let's wait and see, I'm still optimistic they'll get there, slowly. If all else fails, 10.1 will have to wait until the 3.4 kernel is stable and reliable.

Either way, it's awesome that all this development is happening on the 'vintage' Xperias.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FEXTEZI:
Any news Dear Mike????????
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
I just got an urushi so now I've got a new device to test (plus my smultron)

If anyone wants stable/full working roms, use the stock sony ones.

Don't forget that this thread is a DEV thread and not a ROM thread, meaning that builds might not be stable at all and are intended just for testing.

Everyone who uses this ROM can help development with proper bug reporting on M66B's bug tracker.

We have a long way to stable release. Last things we got from SE were 2.6.32 kernel & ics and we now use 3.4 kernel on jb 4.2. You can imagine how big is the code difference and how many things have changed and need to be implemented in other ways, tested, then fix the bugs, test again and become more stable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ImmortAlex:
The only one problem I have with this ROM is random reboots. Everything else I need is working just perfect. Dont know how to collect info about reboots...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
https://github.com/M66B/cm-xtended/wiki/How-to-get-logs

BUT, in this special case (you are still on kernel 3.0 and Mike just switched to 3.4) I guess your logs won't help anyone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
Mike, my man! Just for clarification, are you working only on the kernel build at this point, or are you hoping to release a new ROM update as well sometime this weekÉ Thanks for all the hard work, mate! Much appreciated!

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

I think the problem is not really the ROM (which is in my experience extremely stable and functional), but the kernel. I think the best way to avoid the reboots is to not use (for now) the 3.0 or 3.4 based kernel that come with the ROM, and rather step back to a good 2.6 ROM like Fusion (5.5 is the only one that works for me with this ROM). That seems to get rid or at least significantly reduce the incidence of reboots. Maybe when (and if) the kernel is more evolved, using it for a daily driver would make sense.

One question, does the wifi works all the time? Because *if i'm not mistaken*

when i was using ur ROM, i switched off the wifi and when i switched it on, it can't be turned on and stuck "turning on wifi" and the wifi not turn on. But when i reboot it, it's turn to normal again :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
Why don't you test it? C'mon, this is a [DEV] thread... *we* tell *him* if stuff works well on all devices.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yonzz:
I tested it the previous version a couple days ago, but i switched to another ROM because of the wifi problem in my phone. :rolleyes:

And you say i have to test it but.... How could i test the newest version whenever the newest version is still in uploading progress? :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
quick feedback

it's beautiful

I put the new release one a 'clean' phone that still had stock 2.3 and locked bootloader.

Then, for three hours, I set it up the way I like it, used it, played with it (no systematic testing).

Bugs so far:

- ...

- ...

- ...

- the nAa boot logo is ugly

Everything is just slick so far. Performance is great, all my stuff works, Wifi and Bluetooth music was flawless, it sleeps like a baby, ondemand scales well, battery drain seems fine, usb transfer is fast and all my apps just work - better than ever.

nAa with fpx218 was good, this is even better.

If nothing big comes up when I put in a sim card, I'll probably make this my main phone over the weekend. I thought I would wait two months while it gets stable, but - so far - this already feels like a polished release.

:good::good::good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yonzz:
I will download it now and test it. And i'm gonna post a screenshot once i install and test it:)

[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION], here are the screenhsots :)

Tried new ROM and kernel version for several hours and I got about 3x random reboots. One when I was moving my app using Link2SD, another one after FB messenger FC'd for a couple times and the last when I was receiving message from Line app.

Can't set notification light pulse for any color including white... stuck on normal normal

Wifi is working, bluetooth is working, GPS is working...

Can't provide proper logcat for now since I don't understand how to provide a proper log :D

Tried with Fusion 5.5 kernel and wifi is no longer working :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
hey mike! great job on the rom/kernel! Had some initially troubles which I think have nothing to do with the ROM but with using Link2SD so had to end up doing a clean install all over...then had an issue with launcher (apex) freezing up, and one soft reboot. But one full reboot later, no issues at all so far (been a few hours) - no reboots, no bugs to notice..this really is a fantastic job! kudos, and thanks! Will update if I notice any issues!

oh really? Fusion wifi stopped working with this version? Did you install the wifi modules? That was going to be my go to if random reboots resurfaced! :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gutzzz:
What module? Fusion 5.5 no longer needs wifi module since the wifi driver is inside the kernel... on previous rom I also use Fusion 5.5 kernel without any wifi module
