Hello Sargos, everything OK? I wanted to ask if you could put the link to download the CWM recovery because my recovery (130712) does not make me flash the latest rom posted. I need CWM 130713. thanks

[Android General] franco monti:
Ok done. However, for example, if flash xperia V2 when starting up, the screen stays blue and nothing happens. I do wipe factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache, but the rom does not boot. Why?
[Android General] Sargos76:
You need to repart your memory again after you flash the phone with flash tools use meteos app
[Android General] franco monti:
if I understand correctly before flashing the rom I have to partition the memory METEOS and increase it. how big?

[Android General] miljenko:
It is not 4.3, just plain 4.2.2. Another story is HDC roms, they faked internal and ram memory to look like teal deal, also they did something with the proximity sensor, everything works but screen stays on during call. Not worth of lost time.
[Android General] RobboW:
That Xposed module should work. I've tried many and most are ok. I installed it but most options were of no use to me. Anything I wanted was already covered in other installed modules, so de-activated and un-installed it.

I'm on Zound 2.5 right now and have worked out how to get the bypass by Xposed module to get rid of the need for PIN lock screen when using an Exchange email account. Have to backup, flash Xperia C V2 back on and do it to that one too :p

Not sure whether I like Zound or Xperia better yet, both run well so far. Xperia had a slightly higher Antutu score, but not much in it. One thing I don't like is Google Keyboard, the alternate functions are way too hard to see on the virtual buttons and my eyes are terrible. I miss Xperia Keyboard a lot and haven't been able to get it working with Zound.

Edit:

Flashed my backup of modded XperiaC V2 back on the phone and I have to say, it runs better than it did on Zound 2.5. Feels more responsive and notification pulldown works heaps better. My spare time is going into modding it more. Oh, and back to the Xperia Keyboard, oh yeah!

Now I have the normal JB lockscreen ring working, so I have Gravitybox app shortcuts on it like I had with Zound on stock JB lockscreen. The Sony lockscreen is partly an overlay theme on top of JB. There is an apk in system apps and removing it got rid of the blinds on touch look and also the swipe up/down part of the Xperia lock. Funny that Sony modded this only to make it look worse.....

I'm finding Xperia nicer to use for the majority of things and modding it feels more rewarding. It does look nicer too.

One problem is the loss of native widescreen mode in the camera. The standard THL camera app could do it. Anyone know how to fix that in the Xperia ROM?

Edit:

Never mind, I purchased Camera FV-5 from Google Play, great camera app and I now have widescreen pics again :cool::p

Hi can someone help me with this?

I recently received my THL w200 and I was testing the different advice given in the forum, I wanted to experience installing roms.

The problem started when I tried to install the rom XperiaC V2, I did all the swipes and install it from the recovery, it stayed loading, after thl logo appeared and then stayed on a black screen until now.

Please someone help me.

I hope your help, I'm a little desperate.

Sorry for my english.
[Android General] RobboW:
Maybe re-flash it in case it corrupted.

Could be a screen driver issue, how long have you had the phone? Might need a different ROM.

Did you have success with any others?
[Android General] Alejo94:
I have the phone 3 days.

I think the problems started when installing another recovery (I found it in another forum) when the phone was blocked and could not turn on.

Well I can enter to the recovery mode, what option can I choose to solve this problem?
[Android General] RobboW:
Which recovery is installed? Stock, CWM or TWRP?

If you installed a recovery, was it via PC with SP Flash Tools or on the phone with Mobile Uncle MTK Tools?

If you can get SPFT working, install CWM recovery and then from recovery you install a zip file ROM from SD card. If you click the link below, I previously made a post with a bunch of zipped tools attached.

[Android General] RobboW:
Is the xperia ROM too large for stock partitioning?

In that case, flash on a Ludoo or Zound ROM and repartition, then do the Sony ROM.

I used my Son's phone yesterday and found his notification pulldown is troublesome like mine was on Zound. I think it will be flashed to Xperia later too.
[Android General] miljenko:
Any rom over 350 MB is too large for stock partition, I think so.
[Android General] RobboW:
Anything over the 1.5Gb app partition is a waste. I find once you get to around 1Gb installed apps etc, the phone has enough to deal with, also, be wary about going too far with Xposed modules. They are small, but too many seems to bog my phone down. I have 7 at preesent, un-installed 3 yesterday. Ten was too much for it.

[Android General] RobboW:
I'm finding quicksettins working ok. I had issues with Zound 2.5 (based on stock ROM) and accessing the quickpulldown, it was very un-responsive, hard to grasp the pulldown target and pull it, whereas Xperia runs very smoothly with screen and pulldown. The target is easily hooked and pulls down fast. I have it set so targeting the right side is quick pulldown, anything further left is normal notifications pulldown. I have ongoing notifications like Avast antivirus and Atrium facebook client, so the auto quick pulldown doesn't operate. I switched off that option.

My son's W200 has the exact same issue with Zound (V2 fix 3) and quick pulldown. Later I will probably set his phone up with Xperia V2 once I have got my collection of settings and mods sorted fully. I'm yet to assess battery life on Xperia. It's ok on Zound for him. I'm still using my screen a lot and thrashing the battery. Need to get into a normal use cycle to assess consumption.
[Android General] marsian0:
Thanks, i have it working now, just have checked auto pulldown and left edge options in GB.
[Android General] RobboW:
Has anyone here gotten fed up with Facebook, or more specifically, the app and new sneaky data stealing backdoor?

I've un-installed Facebook app last night. Running Atrium right now. It uses a little less RAM, but the difference is not major, however, the phone feels more responsive.

Edit:

Atrium was quite good but I ended up switching to Fastbook Pro. It works well, fast, easy to use and navigate and it barely has permissions for the phone.

[Android General] gerstavros:
Meteos doesn't work right, phone cannot boot. Are there custom EBR partitions to flash for bigger /data?
[Android General] RobboW:
CWM only flashes it. It doesn't re-write partitions so cannot fix a bad flash with incorrect partitioning. Flash phone to stock with SPFT to fix partitioning, install CWM recovery, use Meteos to partition larger, format Storage partition with it connected to Windows, then flash to a different ROM.

I use 1.5Gb app partition which is plenty. Larger just wastes space from the Storage patition unless you have lots of large games installed.

Edit:

Battery life on Xperia ROM is probably a little worse than stock ROM under normal usage, screen and data on, using it, but the ROM has extra power saving measures that can extend the battery further if needed when you leave it idle. This keeps use of the phone fast and smooth, then when you leave it idle it conserves power really well, but this does stop it recieving emails etc. Doesn't stop it recieving calls and txt.

I charged it fully, left it in standby (3G on) overnight, used it more normally through yesterday and then put it in Stamina mode for last night. It's still going this morning but will need charging at lunch time. If I do much with it, it will flatten very quickly as it's now under 10%. Not bad.

Edit:

I put it on charge at 1% after 1 day, 10 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds.

34 and a half hours

I'm so dissapointed after all the work I put into setting up my phone, I might flash back to Ludoo ROM and leave it alone. I get a weird thing with Xperia port, the OS seems to lose memory of what's on the SD card, not just music, all the files, but the folders still appear. It's random. I'm don't think I'll use another ROM port, maybe just a modification of stock software. It's the little things that just start happening. I had none of this on Ludoo ROM, it just worked.
[Android General] dydbg:
I am still using the stock ROM and I am more than satisfied.

It's running great. no problems, no lag.

[Android General] RobboW:
I decided to give it another go. Backed up the SD and formatted it, set the phone up from the start again with Xperia. No experimenting though, just putting it back with the mods I want and this time keep it as Sony as possible, see if it works more reliable.

I don't think I'd use Zound again after the problems with the quicksettings/notification pulldown because I use that all the time. If I have further storage issues with Xperia, I'm going straight back to Ludoo ROM. It had Xperia keyboard which fast became my favourite.

[Android General] RobboW:
I've been trying to work out why all of a sudden my battery is running flat very fast on XperiaC V2.

Checking settings etc, then looked again at the needrom listing for the ROM and found this.

"One thing that was pissing me of in V1 was changing network mode, too many steps to make that. On stock ROM there is perfect software for this task called TOGGLE2g but is is incompatible with Xperia and many other OEM ROMs. OK, found solution and now we have simple network tasker incorporated within XperiaC V2 ROM."

So what does this mean? Toggle2G is no good, despite it being left in the ROM? Or was it installed but won't work? And what replaces it?

I removed SuperStamina.apk and this causes issues. I also removed LocationBasedWiFi.apk, but is this the simple alternative? Or part of the original ROM? Anyone know about this?

I installed SuperStamina.apk back in, but for now, left out LocationBasedWiFi.apk because I have WiFi Manager which will do the same thing anyway, but I don't use that function.
[Android General] layup23:
Nope, you're not missing anything.

I found that post on the Thl W200 thread. A fellow there said that this( the link from the Phillips thread from above) was a temporary solution to our problem.

@ Robbo- I gave up on using the Xperia port( even dough it's awesome- Thanks Miljenko) because it gave me a 14000 score in Antutu.

Damn I wish I knew the Russian language. There's so much development going on in those 4pda threads for our device..
[Android General] RobboW:
Something weird there I think. Mine runs fast for daily use and does Antutu at 15484 without stripping it back to get a good score. It has nearly 1Gb of apps installed and running AvastAV. The only issue at present is excessive battery drain. I think it was too much GPS access and also the drain from network access at work, like it was trying to talk to the network tower all the time, so now I'm checking the autoswitch settings in Toggle2G.

Nothing else greatly bothers me about it as yet. It feels to run faster on Xperia than it did on any THL based ROMs, very snappy and manages RAM pretty well. It doesn't score better with Antutu, just that the user experience feels better.

[Android General] Stenlius:
In that post in resume the author says that the multitouch problem happens only in one scenario, when you touch it with multiple fingers and then lift only the finger that touched the screen LAST - then it resets all. It is obviously most important in games so he found a simple solution - you first touch the screen with the thumb you shoot/punch/pan and then touch with the other thumb for movement. So as long you don't lift the movement finger you have no problem to lift the other one to click on things, shoot, etc.

Too many apps wanting location services. The GPS was always trying to get a fix etc and work is a big brick and concrete constructed theatre. Poor battery didn't stand a chance. I'm going through app settings but have location services off untill I get them all set right.

I had formatted and flashed the phone so everything was back at default settiings.
[Android General] RobboW:
I see by your replies that you installed Viper Audio. I'm interested in your setup. Nobody in this thread has mentioned they tried it after I raised it as a worthy thing.

I had Walkman and PowerAmp installed and have Walkman and Neutron installed now. All used Viper4AndroidFX as I removed stock AudioFX app. Walkman ended up sounding very good and competetive with PowerAmp, so I uninstalled PowerAmp and installed Neutron to compare.

Neutron smashes Walkman for me...... Sounds punchier and clearer, more lively, but warmer.

You must be an experimenter to use Viper. Did you already know about it or look from my recommendation? Do you like it?

And, what other mods have you made to the Xperia ROM? It's very open to modding, like THL stock ROM, different but better.

BTW, I also have a loud internal speaker. My Viper settings are to make it work well for headphone music quality and to make the speaker clear for hands free phone calls. This does make it quite loud. My wakeup alarm is too loud, although this gets me out of bed easily :P

Aside from removing the stock audioFX app, I keep the other Sony audio effects app (AudioEffectService.apk) turned off in settings, but it is still installed. No point doubling up effects and increasing proccessor and memory loading. One setting when enabled will actually switch between them from what I've seen. You can remove the Sony one without causing a system issue as JB seems to look for an FX app for sound by default. Viper does more than anything else I have seen.

BTW guys, something that may interest you, I have noticed on Xperia ROM, if I press the button on my Sony Earbuds, it starts the phone app. On THL it never did anything. It still won't skip music tracks though.

Oh, I got through the day without needing charging despite a fair amount of "screen on" time. Woke on alarm at 6:30 am, took off charger and now it's nearly flat at 11:07 PM, time for a shower and get to bed anyway. Looks like GPS access was the issue with fast battery consumption.
[Android General] marsian0:
I first pointed out to this mod in the begining of this thread, back in august, since then I started to play with viper, downloaded IRS samples offered by Zhuhang, picked up a few, the ones that liked the most and sligthly modified them to my personal taste. Believe me that they worth it, kudos to this developer.

http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=91

After using several music players i realized that is just the UI what matters to me, beacuse i turn off any equalizer or fx setting, and let viper alone to do the job in the background, i use poweramp because i like it, and because i purchased the license long time ago ;).

Before Viper4Android i used to install DSP Manager from cyanogenmod, but i found Viper far better.

From the stock rom, i just changed laucher, installed HoloHD, and let the rest untouched.

But currently im trying Me!ROM, posted by djporti a few posts pack, very responsive and customizable, i made a backup of Xperia rom, to go back just in case, but so far i have not faced issues with this rom, which gave me an antutu score higher than all the previos roms i've tried. I can see the difference, lighter than xperia.
