The database does say it is for Xperia S and i have asked a MOD to fix it but they havent as yet. It is only for XAS i dont have a version for XS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
Many thanks for the replies deedwar! I ended up doing a fresh install and then using Titanium Backup to restore everything.

I have to say, this release is by far the best! The lag when a call was coming in has gone - the screen almost instantly lights up now. The overall performance is much better - no more stuttering for no apparent reason. Also the memory footprint is much smaller, with more memory available to the system now (perhaps this has helped with the smoothness).

The CPU o/c is gone (sniff), although now that the phone works great, I don't miss it that much (although it would be great to have it back!).

The camera also fires up much quicker and it is not as jerky as before.

The one thing I did notice was gone is the volume boost. I think your other Kernel with the CPU o/c also offered much higher volume. Unless this is an option which I can't recall where to change, the volume seems to be much lower than before.

Any chance to put that back as well?

Overall, what can I say? This has been an unexpected update, which has brought me so much happiness!!!

Thanks again mate! Keep up the awesome work!

Do CM11-themes work with this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] teddy0209:
These is based on CM, so I guess yes... But it is still using the old theme engine I think, not the one with options to check which part of the theme you want to install...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cmr_noob:
no cm-11 themes dont work .... :-\
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Thanks. Will try a CM10-theme then.

No reboot here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] drumcodex:
[MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] a minor bug is when uninstallin a theme, theme chooser makes FC and phone reboots.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] drumcodex:
Just played around with the daydream thing. Doesnt seem to work either.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
i had that when i was running PAC V8, but only FC, no reboot

daydream worked for me when i was also running PAC V8 but it slowed down my phone so much and heated it also
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I just tried daydream then with pictures from my camera and it worked well. What were you trying to do with daydream that it didnt work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] drumcodex:
Tried with dashclock, but nothing happens egen charging, i might do something wrong
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] drumcodex:
My bad, got it working
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lavier:
[MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] is there any way to make camera button work as like stock camera app..... that is half press to Focus and full to take snap........

also camera quality is pretty bad.....

for the camera effects in stock i started using Powercam which has that partial effect style an all live.............
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lewis021:
Probably the camera will be fixed next time. Right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chrissoriano:
waiting for update :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
The camera I grabbed from Raymanfx's OpenSEMC RC2 rom because I couldn't get mine to enable 1080p but I have since added focal which I will use to replace camera.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lavier:
Does anyone hav problem with focal that is it not showing anything otherthan a black screen after a few pics.........???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chrissoriano:
same here .. thats why i remove it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I thought i had fixed this issue. I just took like 20 pictures and it didnt happen. What can i do that it will reproduce this problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lavier:
it doesnt get black screen right after the photos are taken..... it shows the black screen whn you take the camera second or third time........

also i hidden the HDR option in the camera from the camera menu

and also i thought there was a exposure ring in focul too?? or is it Device dependent????
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chrissoriano:
weird!! i defrost focal from titanium back up and its working fine now...

but for default cam its fine for me and no issue
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lavier:
what do u mean by defrost???

and default camera is working fine for me too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NisseDILLIGAF:
Focal is better than default camera in my opinion.. when filming, Focal don't change the focus all the time.

Only thing with Focal is that it's flickering when filming (don't show up in final file) but is easily fixed with 'Inactivate HW-something' in 'Developer tools'(?) in settings..

Not sure what they are called in english.. I have swedish locale in ROM...

Sometimes Focal will show black screen, but I close apps with long press back button, and start it again... [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] ... thanx for a great ROM!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chrissoriano:
i freeze and defrost it by titanium back up
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cyberdynesystem101:
Unlocked bootloader only? Sorry for the boob question
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
Also forgot to mention that the "online video streaming" bug is still there.

When playing a video (online streaming content), if you try to exit the app (it crashes on all video players), the phone freezes and reboots.

If you download the video and play it offline, it works fine. Youtube also works fine with videos playing withing the app.

This is the only other major issue that I have found with BeanStalk.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Finally the GPS works great when geocaching. The GPS used to be sensitive when I was in the forest, but not anymore. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hiko lara:
in my opinion you [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4663391]abcdjdj[/MENTION] have to make a rom together with the combination of beanstalk and carbon
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
The more chefs, the more mess. Don't know if that applies to developing. :)

Where is Xposed to be found? It's already installed yes? Installed the apk, but still cant find it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Posting a new reply so you will see a new post. Can anyone help me to find Xposed? I really miss Xprivacy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
If I remember correctly it is found somewhere in the settings (once you have installed the app).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
You can find it under: settings/beanstalk options/Display and animations --> Framework and modules :highfive:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] csinef0403:
Sir,can i flash this to lock botloader?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
No, you can't.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
By mistake I didn't install the newest version of Xposed (2.4). Xprivacy wouldn't run on it. I uinstalled Xposed and installed the latest. I can enter it by the icon, but getting a settings FC when entering there.

Did a reinstall. It's 2.4.* that's installed, and it's not possible to install 2.6.1 without uninstalling the preinstalled.

Still the best ROM ever. :)

When using a VPN I get a notification that "network may be monitored". Not possible to disable. Xposed has a module that will let me.

Got aware of the choppy vid rec today. Tested 1080p, 720p, 480p and QVGA. The lesser the resolution the smoother video. 1080p and 720p are not usable, but got a pocket camera, so I will survive. :) The GPS works as in my dreams. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devil.tiger:
Deedwar Thank You so much for your great great work. I really love the work, few things are not working here.

I cannot use video recording as it doesn't work.

Phones get too much heated after some time.

Please advice.

The update is not for Xperia S. I think you will have to upload for nazomi.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Japet:
Maybe we can swap camera to mod from Z2, or similar from Sony KK?

Did anybody try this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
Lag lag lag .. Installed again and random FCs -_- i'm using less than 20 apps with greenify too :/

Is the dual pane gone or am I missing something?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abo hani:
Hi there .

I Have 60 apps to install , 4GB big games .

is the ROM stable for this ? or will be buggy ? and the launcher will restart ?

Thanks OP . :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
To be honest i have no idea. But all i can say if what you have installed now is working i would stick with it. That is a lot to reinstall.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lukensteinz:
Is anyone else experiencing random app crashes?

Having my alarm crash, isn't cool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
Me 2 .. Google search FC .. Apps etc..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lukensteinz:
Changing the I/o scheduler to cfq seems to have helped a lot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
Ok thx i will try it <3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
New version here to try

Download
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
Ohhh, fine!

Is there any changelog to know whats different?

Thx.

Installed. One big problem: With this kernel I cannot go into recovery. It showes a blue led and an blank screen.

Flashing the kernel again with adb brings no solution.

Only my problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] steveeJ:
thanks you! do you have a rough change log? anything experimental?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
After trying several times - this rom has a big problem with his filesystem and recovery.

It's not possible to go to recovery after a clean install, black screen is showing up.

Ad-Away is saying: there is a problem with /system to write in. Changing the path doesn't help and so on. Changing the permissions also doesn't help...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Recovery should be an easy fix. Didn't think to check that. Will see what I can do in the morning.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Here is a fix for the recovery issue.

Just flash the boot.img file and it all should be good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
4,8mb?? Is that good?? I think - no.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Your right will check that. It should be 9.3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Alright second try

DOWNLOAD

This is the right size.

Will release the fixed version of the ROM tomorrow for people who havent flashed it yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Thanks! Looking forward to it. Only thing I could wish is a dual recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
Recovery is now working, thanks!

The problem with ad-away exists always.

Update: Recovery only works with switching the device off and than on. Reboot to recovery over menu ends in an blank screen and the device has to been resetted.

Also the problem with ad-away is present. Changing the path of the host file does not solve the problem, like described in the help of ad-away.

With all the other roms there was no problem with this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
First post updated with new version. Not sure what has been changed with beanstalk.

My kernel changes are extensive.

-Dropped back to my 1x kernel and improved on that

- Removed alot of dead code or outdated code

- Fixed alot of the errors with audio and video

- Dropped back to an earlier version of gpu msm CAF for better compatibility with our adreno drivers.

- Improved schedulers and memory management.

- updated kernel to 3.4.80 will do the rest a little later

- memory is now 730M free from the start.

- Camera should have almost no start time now
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
After testing for a while - great rom!

Only reboot to recovery is not functional, blank screen.

It's only possible to make a hard reset, then it's going on.

Overclocking is very nice!

Thx [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] again!!

Also: the problem with ad-away is gone. I've seen there is a blocker in beanstalk options! This seems to be the problem with the host files.

The blocker from beanstalk is very good! So I don't need ad-away for this time. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bossikx1:
Great ROM . I only found a few minor bugs.

GPS: location is not found

Trebuchet Launcher: can not change the background (application crashes)

Thanks so much for your hard work Deedwar

For now I use Beanstalk 4.4.4001 :p

Sorry for bad english :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Yeah sorry i dont use trebuchet only nova and it seems to work great, Might be a CM thing will see if there are any other reports. And havent really used GPS but the cLock weather part finds me fine and so does facebook and whatsapp location. What is your location...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bossikx1:
I've never had a GPS fix problem until now with the new ROM in APP Endomondo can not find my GPS position. My location is Czech Republic. Too bad the Trebuchet not going to 100%, I try Nova launcher : Good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Got an instant lock with GPS Status and Toolbox indoors. Maps finds my position instantly too. Got a bit worried at first boot. Got "the process acore has stopped", but everything worked fine, and I didn't get it at 2nd boot.

The Xposed Framework doesn't work with Xprivacy still. Xprivacy needs a newer Xposedbridge it says. Will install Xposed manually as with 4001. When I install Xposed 2.6.1 Xprivacy works fine.

Thanks deedwar. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bossikx1:
So I take back what I wrote :) GPS works after restarting the phone.

Thanks so much for your work Deedwar
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Great to hear. I'm very happy with this rom! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
Reboot to recovery from power menu don't work .. back screen
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devil.tiger:
But this is not for Xperia S its for ACRO I need for nozomi.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fzelle:
This is the AcroS forum, so what did you expect?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Pressing volume up a few times to enter recovery isn't a big hassle. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
What can I say? Another fantastic release!!!

Strangely, this time I did not wipe my data, and not only pretty much all my settings were kept, but I have not experienced any FC or crashes or anything so far!...

My hat off to all devs and deedwar!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rensaionji:
is GPS working in this ROM?

It was a mistake i made when i first converted the forum to the new format have tried to get it fixed a few times but to no avail. No XS version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
After a few days I have to say this ROM is perfect! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Yesterday I experienced a very hot battery. I had been transferring files with FTP Server while the phone was in dock. I have never felt it so hot before. Installed a battery monitor, and it reached 42 Celsius (107.6F) while I was sleeping last night (with BT on). It idles at 35C (95F) now.

Addon: Why it got so hot may be because I transferred to sd1 while deleting a complex folder structure from sd0.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Did the same deleting while uploading with stock JB now, and got 34C as max. I guess it was 45C or more when I did it with Beanstalk.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DvDwx.:
[MENTION=5208174]andacro[/MENTION] maybe you stay using a CPU OC preseted from beanstalk(1.89ghz), and while you stay back on stock based rom you dont stay using CPU OC... That can explaing this overheat... BUT on AOSP we stay with battery drain from a static noise bug... And i can agree with you.. Sometimes i notice a overheat using a underclock.. but i cant say exacly what/where is the problem
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Does it come with OC already set? I didn't change anything.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DvDwx.:
Yehp, it have been already setup by default the OC at 1.89gh.. maybe because that you think stay overheating and drain battery too =#

Install Trickster Kernel control to check that (the most stable kernel control in my opinion)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
The overclock is available but on a clean install the max frequency is1512 you need to change it to 1890 so it has nothing to do with that. If you were copying a fair bit it would have used the CPU allot it is something you sometimes will see. I have noticed a bit of an increase and I am checking on it but it has settled now that I haven't done a fresh install for a day
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Trickster MOD Kernel Settings works for Acro S even though it isn't officially supported yet?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
That is what i use and have had no issues yet. It detect all the additions i have made to the kernel so that is what i recommend.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DvDwx.:
Performance control app stay with a bug with core1 at maximun performance fixed... Drain battery too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
For some reason the Recovery has been broken for me. I just did a clean install (factory ROM), then root then BeanStalk 4010 and not only I can't create backups, I can't restore either.

The screen flashes erratically when I start a backup, it says

Backing up system 7 of 1703 files, 0%

21MB of 2209MB, 0%

and stays there. At some point the screen goes blank (after 20 minutes) and the phone freezes. I have to reset the phone to get it back to work.

Trying to restore doesn't work either. It says restoring, and the progress bar stays at 0% no matter how long you leave it on.

HELP!!!!!!!

PS: I did flash the boot.img from your link a couple of pages ago. Still no go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DvDwx.:
You can go at general subtopic to xperia S/AcroS/ION and read the topic about soft-brick recovery.. There have alot of methods to restore the phone...

Some time ago something like that happens to me and i have flashed cabratos stock kernel and don't fixed the problem.. Than i Try flash the stock. FTF ROM via flashtool... Than the phone go back work properly ;D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
Thanks for the reply. No, the problem was not with soft-brick, like I said I can always flash the Stock ROM and I did. My issue was that I wanted to have the latest BeanStalk with recovery working, so I didn't have to install everything again.

I just found a solution to my problem!

Flashed the 4001 Boot.img, which seems to work great. Restored my BS backup (now that recovery works), installed 4010 on top of that (which I had tried in the past - not wiping the data folder - and knew it works) and now as a last step I will flash the 4001 boot.img again, replacing the 4010. That should fix recovery AND have the 4010 working. Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply again.

Update: Well that didn't work as planned.. :( Flashing the 4001 boot.img and trying to boot, just came up with a blank screen. Flashing the 4010 gets it working BUT the recovery is not working again.... Darn! And this was such a good release, everything working flawlessly except for the recovery. Hopefully deedwar can fix this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
In downloads up the top of this thread there is a version I re-released with fixed recovery
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
any link in the messanger app appear like this .. can't read it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
Excellent work! Works great! Thanks champ!

Update: I may sound like a whinger, but I just realised that fixing the recovery, now the Overclock does not work.... is it possible to have both?

:)))))))))

Update 2: Interesting.. .Wi-fi also not working! Under settings it is completely greyed out. Is this normal?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
You will have to reflash the entire ROM not just the boot.img. That will fix your wireless and just do a dirty flash dont worry about any formatting or anything. Overclock should still be present what version of the kernel is the ROM reporting.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hiko lara:
i would like use your new version but lamentably the network operators does not work I'm waiting your next update, to see if you fix that problem
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dot.Age:
couldn't remove the Appollo.apk in the System App Remover

I checked the Appollo.apk which in the top of the app list and then click the recycle bin button, it reports "nothing selected".

If I check Appollo and another app at same time, it asks me "Are you sure you want to delete this app?" Answer Yes, the other app is deleted but Appollo is still there.

Please check, thanks!

Can we have an option to totally disable the Hover notification?

Some apps such as GPS Status updates notification in very high frequence.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkguset:
That worked! Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
This ROM hasnt been updated in a very long time and that is because the source itself hasnt been updated. There are a lot of changes that have happened with CM and these changes need to be fixed because as it stands it wont compile. I will keep an eye on the repo but if it isnt updated within the next couple of weeks im thinking that i will discontinue this ROM. I havent got the time to fix all the errors with the ROM itself, enough trouble making it work with our outdated device as it is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Everything comes to an end sadly. I think it's in the public interest to get to know which phone you are planning to upgrade to. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schnuff*1:
Not a good message....

That's the life :mad:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I have been continuing to update AOSPA although there hasnt been much interest in it with the hikari i have been updating the official source and will post a new verison of it tomorrow for everyone seeing as the device doesnt get a weekly compile anymore like the nozomi. I have had a nexus 5 for the last 8 months and now i have a Oneplus one but i continue to work on the good old hikari.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Read about the Nexus 5 yesterday. Would really like to own one, but I don't think I can live without a waterproof one, so I will start saving for a S6. The Oneplus One looks awesome too. I hope they will start making them waterproof. I have been very happy with my Acro S, but I will not buy Sony again if they continue to make them with a glass backside. I prefer durability over appearance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Enigmaspb:
Small problem then Wireless Display in this rom in Acro S.

In "Setting->Display & Light" i see option "Wireless Display" and dont see any remote display (and don`t have switch on-off).

Any chance to work this ?

ps - For test in stock Z2 i see "Sony TV" .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Never tested it personally but probably not compatible with our wireless configuration. I need to spend more time updating that to the latest drivers.
