You have 2 file .zip? you download by IDM? right?

XPERIENCE_Extract and copy zip in to SD.zip

XPERIENCE_Extract and copy zip in to SD_2.zip

If true, you rename file _2.zip to .z01 or .zip for 248 mb and .z01 for 350 mb

and it will be:

XPERIENCE_Extract and copy zip in to SD.zip (248 mb)

XPERIENCE_Extract and copy zip in to SD.z01 (350 mb)

Clarification request

I have had my smart phone, Xperia Go, for a while now and want to upgrade its software abit, like i did with my htc hero. But the process have surely become more complicated, or it is just who is getting old :P

None the less, in order to install this promising rom on my smartphone i reckon i need to do this:

1. change from jelly bean to ice cream sandwich, using a FTF file, which i dont know how to, but i am guessing its somthing to do with flashtools. And do i need a wipe first?

2. I need to install clock work mod and clock work mod recovery(are they the same thing?) using debug mode and run install.bat. "cwm-2.0-lotus-XPE.zip - 2.32 MB"

I do know how to turn debug mode, but then what?

3. Then i need to wipe data, cache, dalvick-cache using clockworkmod i guess?

4. Then i place the rom on my sdcard and flash the zip file. "XPerienceFX2_ST27a_signed_071913_182952.zip - 490.13 MB" Why is there an "a" and not an "i"? since the model of my phonephone is ST27i.

5. When it is is done i turn off the phone and something with "turn off phone (power button + vol up (phone vibrate 3 times))"?

6. Then i flash the jellybean kernel "ST27_3.0.8+ XPE V7 Stock kernel .100 JB_XPERIENCE based stock .100 jb.ftf - 5.49 MB" There seem to be confusing amount of kernels, so is this the proper?

7. Reboot and then i am done.

Please clarify and correct, i wouldn't like to use my smartphone as a paperweight. And btw. Is this room intended for daily use?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Feel free to include any extra information i might find use in.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TeamMex:
1.- U need ICS rooted or JB rooted and not neeed wipes

2..-CWM is the same only download from link (debug mode in developer options)

3.-is u install rom YES!

4.-The last letter, it does not matter, what matters is to be ST27.

5.-It is done when I end flashing of the zip, because with ICS kernel will not start.

and to waste time watching that will not start?.

Then off completely and flashes the new kernel.

6.- If u are a stock kernel user (don't have support to unlock bootloader ) YES this are proper kernel.

7.- yes turn on your phone when u finished flash kernel.

Yes are for daily use and is ROM not ROOM

Sorry my bad english

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cjoenic:
hello, just fyi, the theme for xtheme -> Chromiumfree.apk

the notification area, when pulled down it seems like it got mixed with whites. doesnt seems right.

the rest, holo & crystal theme, just works fine for me, (maybe theres slight bug, but its quite good).

good job for making xtheme theme for st27, this is the only place i could find it, i wish there could be more.

Problems here:

I flashed stock 6.2.A.0.400 (Hongkong) .ftf file and unlock bl, install munjeni's boot image for 6.2.A.0.400 without problem,

but after flashing this rom via CWM and used power button + vol up (phone vibrate 3 times), phone was bootlooping at sony logo.

Any help plz?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Melrah:
I think you must flash the .100 kernel by munjeni not the .400 one. I guess?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tennyleaz:

In order to flash this rom I have to download the first link? I am asking because it says ST27a in its name, but my device is ST27i. Or I download the v7 from older versions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TeamMex:
the letter not import

u can download im only change i to a xD so u can flash this :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Melrah:
you can change it in the build.prop :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] psylos:
I installed this rom... It seems pretty good so far, although I do use it for little time to be able to have a full opinion... I have one problem. As soon as the device got online the update center notified me about an upgrade, specifically the .100 firmware.. Have I done something wrong, or it is ok that the notification appeared?

So far it seems to be an excelent and smooth rom. Thx for your work!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hanys23:
U done everything right. Dont worry about that. Just remove update center app, reboot and everything will be allright ;)

Im in the last version, but if I flash the file to revert to normal the mounts (ext-sd as ext-sd and internal as sdcard) then the launcher crashes, had to flash the reverted mounts (ext-sd as internal and internal as ext-sd) so its sad cause i have almost with no use the internal... pls fix this ty

If have problem again, late upload the other vold invert

Sorry for bad english
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronald_sugar7:
nope, i mean the problem is not the flashable file, the file is good, but the launcher is the one having problems with it, because if i do it manually (invert sdcard0 and sdcard1) it still crashes, and if I flash it, it still crashes, so its not the vold.fstab but the launcher:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] the nitro!:
Sorry, I did not understand the previous comment; I deleted these launcher and I install this launcher and the widgets too, this launcher (honami) have so much bugs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronald_sugar7:
ty for the launcher, i changed it and now i can switch to a normal mount of sd cards, but i cant use my music widget (yes i installed the widget that comes in the page that you provided) it just says that widget is already added... but it isnt there... any ideas?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] the nitro!:
Enter in /system/app whit CMFileManager in superuser mode, switch RW mode and copy o try install again the widgets
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronald_sugar7:
Nope, still nothing, i deleted the MusicWidget.apk that is in /system/app and then placed the one that comes in the thread but still the same, this is what happens when i click on the widget... but believe me... it has not been added
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] the nitro!:
Try delete all your desktops and add again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronald_sugar7:
man you are a genious, that worked :D!, i still dont know why it had that problem, i tried uninstalling launcher, wiping its data, uninstalling the widget and wiping its data but nothing until i deleted all my desktops :D! ty

btw, by any chance do you had any issues with a custom boot animation? my fav boot animation (that had never laged) is freezing by a couple of seconds, permisions are good, do you had this problem? sorry for bothering so much
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] the nitro!:
When I change the launcher have these problem too, in the boot animation I don't know how to change, sorry :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronald_sugar7:
man i was looking into the bootanimation.zip and somehow the time between the loops was changed from 0 to 300, so i changed it back to 0 ms between loops and now its smooth as always try it :)! maybe you had the same problem

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
So I after a long time saw what apps were consuming data on my phone and its rather disturbing what I saw. This is one month's figures.

Why on earth is talkback using that much data when I dont even have the service enabled??

Next up is nova launcher prime. I did grant it permission to collect data but that much in just a month??

Next up is beautiful widgets, again why on earth does a weather app need to use that much data??

Next up is clean master, I dont even use it that much so how could it be using that much data?

The last one is actually the most shocking one "MultiTouch tester" app because I havent even opened that app in like months. :confused::eek:

Is it really normal for apps that gather data to do it that much in a month? Not only does it seem a problem with privacy but also with battery life under wifi. Remember all of these apps have many downloads and great ratings on the play store so its not a case of them being shoddy apps.

What is your opinion on all this?

1) This is a question, so post in the Q&A-section, or ask a moderator to move this.

2) Your android version is (surprise!) 4.1.2, so look for guides to root JB.

3) For further questions: read the whole General section for information.
