Everything works fine, again very good job mike =D

But the "PMEM hack for improved sony camera libs compatibility" isn't enough, for example, it's always impossible to see what is filmed on Instagram when you want to film a little video, but it work to take a photo :)

Work with photo mode :

Don't work with video mode (Before the 15-08-2013 nightly, I had just a black screen, it's a bit better :) ) :

good..!!!

so far everything is going great. Just as I had commented on the automatic brightness is very dark.

I feel is much better than the last nightly.

thanks :good::good::good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] frenzyboi:
I find the lowest brightness useful especially when using phone in the dark. I need no screen filter app anymore.

For those who uses auto-brightness, I think it's possible to set the minimum brightness. Have a go at it! :highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ahmedz_1991:
first, i thank the OP for his amazing job with the Ray.

Ok, the camera was working fine in the 815 nightly and then whenever i try to take a shot the app just freezes with the preview and nothing ever happens. i tried force closing and clearing cam data and opening again, but same happens. any ideas ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
Fantastic work mike... Thanks!

One of the issues for me is launcher redraws after spending some time on any app... The home screen and drawer take some time to get redrawn... I'm using apex...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] frenzyboi:
Probably due to RAM management. In Apex, is there an option to keep the launcher in memory? Some launchers do.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
The "LowMemoryKiller update" in the latest nightlies does exactly that, according to Mike.

You can specify which apps should be kept alive as long as possible.

Don't know _where_ you can define that (in source or at runtime?). [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION]?

update...

I've looked it up here:

https://github.com/LegacyXperia/msm7x30-3.4.x-nAa/commit/4b9808058320513ff15474c69bcda14b6386079c

On my 10.1 / 20130815 the doNotKill feature seems to be disabled.

If I wanted to try it out, I would

1. enter the process name ("apex"?) into /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc_names

2. change 0 to 1 in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc

This is just an educated guess! I have no idea if it works that way.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
I haven't actually tried this feature yet so better try it yourself and post your experience here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iriijo:
Hey Mike for the camera libs maybe

We need some gralloc changes in the display Hal what do you think?

I'm not at home now to do this check...

iriijo
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
I don't know, I tried many things in the past days trying to make semc GB libs work with a wrapper without success.

ICS libs are the best for now, only preview remains the biggest problem. Maybe we can do some changes in gralloc like you said, but I don't know what needs to be changed.

Another solution is to override the preview handling in the camera wrapper but I don't have the knowledge to do that :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iriijo:
Hm maybe a solution would be to backport gralloc completely and than we can see what we need to change

For the wrapper I don't think it's possible because we have no access to disable the internal preview handling in the driver and this would require more ram...

So how can we get this to our phones.

Is it kernel related? If yes i assume flash kernel

or

Can we edit the file via any txt editor

or

Do we flash a new rom which is patched with this code?

Thanks again for this great news. One more time i have no regrets buying my xperia ray and sony suck on this.

Nightly usually better than the normal build, right?

sorry am kinda new to this!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shorinryu:
Lupus kernel has two versions because not all roms support 720p resolution. Also without that it makes more free RAM available which is why for the most part devs have kept it out. Still trying to make it stable at 720p while at 480p it is fine. If you find that the new Lups kernel works well with this ROM then let us know how it goes :)

The camera problem has been fixed, just try the general behavior of BT (for example, audio in call wasn't working with the previous BlueZ bt implementation ported from cm10 to 10.1)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] superwoosh:
I'm getting random reboots when there is a text message saved as draft, can anyone else confirm this?

Using the kernel provided in the zip.

EDIT : Well I'm unable to recreate the issue at the moment so ignore this post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gutzzz:
Just tested your ROM for several hours... during testing I just use my phone as usual and nothing wierd happens (thats good!) :D

On Xperia Ray

Kernel: FusioN v5.5

+ Smooth... really really smooth compared to CM10!

+ Deep sleep is normal so battery life seems normal too

+ Wifi working fine and still able to reconnect after going outside hotspot's range

+ Camera still buggy but at least you included the legacy camera

+ Compass is working fine, tested using smart tool's compass

+ ALS is working

+ No random reboots so far

- Drawer button sometimes unresponsive, when I press drawer button I can feel the vibration but drawer is not shown

- Reboot to recovery sometimes not working unless I press the home button (kernel problem?)

I think I'm going to use your ROM as my daily rom and since I use GPS alot (using Endomondo) I can test the GPS performance

Your great ROM plus great FusioN v5.5 makes the best xperience for me :D

Thanks a lot for your hard work!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pluGinSz:
After using it more about 24 hours:

Issues: 1. Battery drain is huge -> after 17 minutes (93%).

2. Wifi drops sometimes also it disconnects even though the icon on statusbar is shown.

3. Data (3G/2G) is slower than the usual.

(No random reboots faced yet)

Overall impression: GOOD.

I think all you need to do is to tweak the kernel, nothing is wrong with the ROM yet it self.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] luvmyXray:
same here, the only issue is the huge battery drain..., otherwise a very solid rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
BlueTooth testing

Good:

Media (music) profile works very well. No flaws found. I tested a lot (turning on/off, switching between BT devices, staying at the edge of the transmission range etc).

Bad:

BT headset profile for calls doesn't work at all. There is no sound in either direction.

I switched all the toggles in the DSP manager on/off, no effect.

Logcat (attached) doesn't tell me anything. Search for my comments ( // ) to see when I did what.

Test notes:

- Using two BT devices (Creative wp300 headphone, Samsung HS3000 headset + audio receiver)

- Using three Rays (stock ICS / fxp 145 / mike_20130503, all with the provided kernels)

- BT headset was good on ics. On cm10 the headset mic was very very quiet, you have to talk directly into the microphone.

Unrelated to Bluetooth:

- as reported on the Mini: on first call, the volume was very low. Turning vol down+up fixed it permanently (?)

- WiFi access point: worked flawless when I connected a Mac. Connection dropped often when I connected the ICS Ray.

- Couldn't set up AP via BT. OSX doesn't have options for that (?)

Is there anything else I can provide?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tan9890:
My review:

First of all a great development, mikeioannina.

Who would have thought that building from sources could solve many of those problems. :D

Rom's been up for 24 hours now, and I must say, its comparatively very stable.

Phone boots properly, faster in fact, roughly 10sec.

Although I got 3 abrupt reboots, and there seems to be a slight glitch while the lockscreen comes up. The screen remains blank,unless you turnoff the screen and turn it on again.

Bluetooth works properly while sending and receiving files.

Wifi, works fine too.

Display brightness transition (turning bright or dim), is very smooth. and also responds well to ambient light while on auto brightness. Auto brightness is the bestamongst all other roms I've tried.

best part is -

Daydreams are usable now!!

Gps works fine as well, although I'm not sure about the compass in the latest maps. (I'm inside the house right now, maybe thats why..:D) But I'll report back later..

Battery drops are evident.. I collected the information on partial wakelocks overnight while the screen was off. I've attached some screenshots below. If anyone could point in the direction on how to disable or make them occasional, that would be great.

Also, as you pointed out, the JB camera is still buggy, its true.

Despite all the functions of JB camera are fully working, I dont get a preview of what I'm shooting. Burst, HDR, etc are functional. I've attached a screenshot of that as well..

In conclusion,

This is a pretty good rom for daily use,functionally, if battery drops and minor reboots arent a problem, but I dont see that users wud have to wait for long, before these problems are solved, and this rom becomes a true JB for 2011 devices.

Thanks to the dev - mikeioannina! :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mathewgx:
The included kernel is 3.0.8-nAa-02_ST18 ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nh1402:
Every now and then, the screen doesn't turn on after it's locked for around 15 minutes (I'll try and time how long I lock the phone before trying to unlock which causes a reboot), and then it reboots, I used to have the problem (on the irii-soft ROM) where If I lock the phone while its on the messaging app, and receive a message, the phone would reboot, I have not realized whether or not it happens in this ROM, I have it set and ready to test, and will report back if it has the same problem.

Not sure if the camera app is set to fully work yet, but if I flash the Lovins fix, then the video record feature doesn't let me record a video (with the 720p option), the record button doesn't do anything, just the outer ring goes red but that's it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] faraaz3:
Kernel doesn't support 720p..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nh1402:
thought so.

After receiving a few texts, while the phone was locked, no reboots occurred, this mainly happened (on the irii-soft ROM) when I restored my text messages which was quite a lot, but with no restoration of texts, this does not occur on this ROM, good stuff!.

One other thing, I was playing around with the developer settings for changing the speed of animations, it worked for all of them, except the screen off animation, not sure if it is supposed to or not though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
Verify bugs

Does anyone (everyone?) have these two bugs:

1. Cosmetic: on the lock screen, there is a small broken frame ] [ that fades out after half a second or so (depends on the background)

2. Battery waster: when you view the sleeping Ray through a digicam, do you see a blinking red light in the upper red corner?

(infrared strobe from the proximity sensor - that thing should only be on during phone calls, but on mine it flashes non-stop)

Is there any possibility to get such one in your camera app?

The corners are unused anyway on 8MP.

Could this be solved?

Rest ist working w.o. problems, no reboots...

Big thank
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] raheelanjum:
No doubt great effort from the developer. I am facing two issues in this build:

1. Battery draining very fast. I think it is greater then the previous build. Secondly, phone becoming very hot after some usage. Don't know the reason for this?

2. Camera is still buggy. A green light is seen after taking the picture. At 8M resolution, camera application hangs after some shots. Hope all camera issues will be solved in next build.

Note: As per instructions in OP, as I was already on previous build of this ROM, so did not do any wiping. Hope this is fine?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
1. Try to find the Wakelock or Kernel Wakelock that is causing this with BetterBatteryStats

2. Try to go to Settings->Apps->Gallery. Select "Clear data" Do the same for Focal. It might alleviate the issue of hanging.

In search of a stable ROM, I flashed Super Jelly bean (SJB 6) with Fusion Kernel yesterday. Personally, I prefer new na kernels over old V2 kernels. But after flashing the ROM, first immediate difference was very very smooth touch on SIM unlock and phone PIN unlock screens. It was a lot smoother then the na kernels. This is the area where na Kernel is lacking behind V2 Kernels. Developers need to look at it once more. May be they have missed some thing here?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SalyczeQ:
Hi mike, first u are great developer!! ;)

And what u think the "Added Death Ray torch mode (all devices except urushi) "? Why except urushi? :'( :)

EDIT: I find it in arc thread - Death Ray = High brightness mode. But I still ask, why except urushi?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
Because urushi has a different flash chip that doesn't support this mode.

BTW, buildbot is broken that's why I didn't release the build yet. I hope they fix it today, else the build is going to be delayed again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CTCaer:
Didn't see how death ray works, but I assume it changes the led current to max and lights it up, and then switch off and back to stock current, right?

If this is correct, Ray supports current for torch up to 30000, almost triple than the stock 12900.

A friendly warning to all of you:

don't use the death ray mode too much in a single run.

The high density led used for torch/flash can reach great temperatures and damage the phone chassis or back case.

----EDIT---

Oh just saw it's based on a led module (made for the other mogami xperias) mod.

But, maybe make what triggers the death ray mode, to check for urushi and just echo 30000 to max_current and light it up?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
About death ray mode, it's only used in the stock Torch app & the torch QuickSettings toggles and there is a warning in the app for those who want to use it.

About urushi, the problem is that we implemented the new as3676 kernel driver a few months ago, which does not expose max_current. We can't change the current in real time, it's hardcoded. If you are interested to implement something to expose max_current, I'll be happy to merge it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CTCaer:
I see, it's updated to 3.4 driver now.

Well now we have max_current_uA for max_current. So 2 options again:

1. Have max_current_uA use the original max. And use a script for changing it to stock values.

2. Or like this patch for the old driver. So basically implement hw_max_current_uA for the new hardcoded max current and make max_current_uA to use the stock values, and let users change it with hw_max_current_uA as an up limit.

No dev pc for compiling for now. So when I have time, I'll check the new current storage code and propose a fix (or at best a patch).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Intuki:
CTCaer, you're always hoped-for developer here, I think.:good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
Even if we implement either of the options (I prefer the second), the biggest "problem" is that max_current_uA is not exposed in sysfs, meaning we can't modify it in real time. I don't have time to spend on this feature as it's useless for me but if you find any solution I will merge it.
