You can continue using version 3.4 without problem, it is only a recommendation, especially for those using the default kernel.

Looks quite good as usual ;)

Will test the new ROM the next days, but I think it works fine as the old one :p

Hi, I'm going to try this rom. Currently I'm on acronium gb rom, do I need to flash ics first or full wipe is sufficient? In op link gapps show several link will this http://goo.im/devs/ChameleonOS/gapps//gapps-jb43-20131012-chaos.zip ok? Thanks in advance.

Edit: you can give this gapps a try (it's very light 7.9Mb) http://d-h.st/NiE
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Flash kernel included in zip first and goto recovery. Make all wipes (format data, cache, system, dalvik cache) and install ROM - GApps - maybe also Baseband 77 check what already be installed - reboot and let settle down the rom for some minutes.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GeoTox:
What does 'fake 720p' mean?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Our device has too less RAM (512 MB) for more then 480p Video recording and higher fps. So FXP team deactivated 720p in the past. Due some kernel improvements there is a higher video ratio available not real 720p (720p = 1280 x 720 (16:9 aspect ratio)). It's less so 'fake' :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adrianom:
Is a 480p with 16:9 aspect ratio, is 864 x 480.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Sarcastic:
Hi, seems like a great rom, thank you for your efforts.

Albeit... The deal breaker is the camera- 4:3 ratio is awful (I'm a photographer), It should have been at least 2:3 if not the original wide screen. Also Panorama mode glitches out.

It could be my hardware, but compass is whack too.

Google maps flicker and are impossible to use :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
[MENTION=511008]camera[/MENTION]

Known problem of all CM Roms with Panorama enabled. I use another camera app and pictures are great.

If you are a photo profi, I think the best is to use original Sony Stock Rom with Bavaria Engine.

New Version:

20131110

Revert "Enable hardware acceleration (Lower the RAM requirement)" - This was consuming much RAM and having big impact in multitasking, how this change was more visual than practical, I decided to revert to the default behavior.

Improvement in Kernel:

backport lowmemorykiller from CAF msm-3.4

Optimize page_alloc allocations

Other Tweaks

Download:

ROM

Gapps

Note: it is recommended to flash the new kernel, even for those who are already using this ROM.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Not a big problem, but I've recogniced that "Reboot to Recovery" in power menu is not working. Do finally nothing. So I restart to recovery via terminal 'su' and 'reboot recovery' commands. Work fine ;)

In the CWM recovery 'reboot to recovery' also do nothing - reboot the device not to recovery. Looks like the device is freezed. Tested with the latest two releases.

Recovery version is CWM 6.0.2.8, I saw newer versions. Why do you use this release?

Really not a big problem, I know how to find my way, but maybe there is a reason for that. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adrianom:
This is the default recovery from cm source, must be a native issue. I never use this function, but I will take a look.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Ok, then I know now why all these CWM Recoveries have the same problems. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Attitude.SSJ:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Thx for that hint, but I don't need to install an additional app + modul. Want it small and fast as this ROM is ;)

Tested the new Google Camera and it looks quite good. No glitches and pictures (Panorama not so good) are ok for me. Really a nice free alternative to other (maybe paid) apps.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
I requested a feature to add frandom if possible like in LuPuS kernels. You could ask wedgess a patch for that. Also, one more nice thing from wedgess is patch for /dev/random and /dev/urandom so they cannot deplete and have constant 2.5MB/s bandwith. If you cannot add frandom try at least patch for random and urandom.

It would make your rom not to need entropy tweaks and speed up UI more out of the box.

Adding both frandom and random/urandom patch would be excellent.

Also it would be nice to investigate (if you have time) how devs got 384MB of ram in SuperFusion kernel for SuperJellyBean rom with working fake 720p.

Thanks for the rom & kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
deleted nvr mind
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
More suggestions:

Just tried to install SuperCharger on your ROM and it failed because you don't generate links for busybox in /sbin.

Also, you would save 2.5MB of ram if you would delete /sbin/*.cpio files after load/extract in init.sh because they remain in tmpfs i.e. ram.

You have 2 versions of busybox, static in kernel and bionic in rom?

Which one is better?

Edit: I guess bionic busybox is better. Will try to modify kernel ramdisk (init.sh ) to generate /sbin links and remove *.cpio files after load and if it works will upload it (init.sh).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adrianom:
gu5t3r, that part I'm using the standard that exists in official CM, I had not noticed this, and frankly I can not tell you what would be best, I believe that bionic is more updated.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
[MENTION=4297659]adrianom[/MENTION]

Me again, kernel refused to boot with bionic kernel (from rom) so I replaced your kernel busybox with LuPuS JB one.

I also added code to generate busybox symlinks in /sbin (and it will avoid of overwriting recovery symlinks =).

Keycheck process can be killed immediately after 3 sec sleep for keypress so I moved that line after sleep.

Replaced busybox with variable $BB for easier further editing.

Now V6_SuperCharger installs normal. V6 stated that your busybox have "holes", dunno what that means but is probably missing something important (if zepp is pointing it out).

Also, added two vibrations for users to know when to press key for boot to recovery so we don't need to press it repeatedly anymore... (and you can now lower sleep time)

In attachment I included your kernel with modified ramdisk and modified init.sh + LuPuS JB busybox.

Edit: I also delete /sbin/ramdisk*.cpio files after load to save 2.5MB ram...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:

Any updates to latest FXP CM10?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adrianom:
[MENTION=4665716]gu5t3r[/MENTION], the CM10 don't have any update since september, and unfortunately, as I do not own a Arc anymore, I had to stop the development of this ROM.

The source is available in my github account, so if anyone wants to eventually build I can help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Thx for making that ROM. Will stick on this for future ;)

@ gu5t3r

Are you used the same linaro tools for building the new kernel and files you post in the past as adrianom?

And if I want to save 2.5 MB in RAM, I need your new compiled kernel and also the ramdisk.rar files? Or is the new kernel enough?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
It's same kernel, I just modified ramdisk...

Because Sony phones don't have recoveries separated from kernel (like Samsung), kernel has both CM10 and recovery ramdisk which are extracted depending on what you boot. They are in kernel ramdisk /sbin/ramdisk.cpio and /sbin/ramdisk-recovery.cpio.

These files are in tmpfs i.e. ram, and were not deleted by default.

On default kernel if you run

su
free
busybox mount remount,rw /
busybox rm -f /sbin/ramdisk*.cpio
busybox mount remount,ro /
free

you will see that you have more free ram equivalent to size of /sbin/ramdisk*.cpio files.....

you can also use init.d script to delete those 2 files as they are not needed after extraction...

Edit: you need only kernel, in other archive are just modified files...

fm radio not playing? rom 4.4:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Yes it works fine in this rom.

Please stop asking in every thread about FM Radio!

For our Sony only CM10 has working FM Radio app. Not in newer Android releases.

And this one is created with the same tools as Andrianom done? Means same speed and performance?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Every kernel for Sony 2011 has two parts, zImage (real kernel) and ramdisk. I didn't compile new zImage I just modified ramdisk and used existing zImage.

So, Yes, it is same kernel with better ramdisk....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Ok, install your kernel and save 2.5 MB RAM. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
I would like to swap 2 cache partition but CM10 uses cache partition for system dalvik.

Is there a configurable option to switch it back to /data/dalvik-cache or I need to create an init.d script which will mount /cache/dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Because I use Mounts2SD my /data/dalvik-cache and /data/data is on /sd-ext. Putting swap on mSD would be overkill so I made myself 2 scripts.

11cd2dd to move /cache/dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache which is already on sd-ext so all dalvik is on sd-ext

#!/sbin/busybox sh
exec > /data/local/tmp/cd2dd.log 2>&1
BB=/sbin/busybox

if ! $BB mount | $BB grep -q ' /cache/dalvik-cache '; then
if [ "$($BB ls /cache/dalvik-cache/)" ]; then
$BB mv -f /cache/dalvik-cache/* /data/dalvik-cache/
$BB rm -f /cache/dalvik-cache/*
fi

$BB mount -or "/data/dalvik-cache/" "/cache/dalvik-cache"
fi

and 12S2C to swap to cache

#!/sbin/busybox sh
exec > /data/local/tmp/S2C.log 2>&1
BB=/sbin/busybox

SF=/cache/recovery/last_swap
SS=80
SP=0

RunInBG()
{
if [ ! -f "$SF" ] || [ "$($BB du -sm "$SF" | $BB awk '{print $1}')" -ne "$SS" ]; then
$BB rm -f "$SF"
$BB mkdir -p -m 777 "${SF%/*}"
$BB dd if=/dev/zero of="$SF" bs=1M count="$SS" || exit 1;
$BB chmod 0600 "$SF"
fi
if [ ! -b /dev/block/loop99 ] && [ -f "$SF" ]; then
$BB mknod -m640 /dev/block/loop99 b 7 99
$BB losetup /dev/block/loop99 "$SF"
$BB mkswap /dev/block/loop99
$BB swapon /dev/block/loop99
fi
i=0
while [ "0$(getprop sys.boot_completed)" -ne "1" ] && [ $i -lt 30 ]; do
$BB sleep 10

Installed latest ROM 20131110 with your kernel and it looks so far good. Made a complete fresh install. Only what I recogniced is that on ex. /system all copied files via Root Explorer or ESFile Explorer got full access (777) and cannot be changed. Got always 'error - could not be changed' when I try to change to ex. 644 after file copy to /system/app

With latest ROM 20131104 and orignal kernel I do not had this behavior. Is this a "problem" of your modified kernel or a ROM problem of this release?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Dunno. I use Solid Explorer and I can change permissions on all files.

Did you mounted /system Read-Write before trying to change permission?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:
Of course. RW is activated and root working because I can create folders and paste files, but cannot set permissions. All are always 777.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
I don't have that problem... I had set permission successfully for files in /system/etc/init.d and /system/app
[Xperia Arc Android Development] User_99:

[General Questions and Answers] Darthinvader:
Hey everyone,

I've wondering this for a long time and couldn't find a solution to my problem. I have samsung i780 and have upgraded it to windows mobile 6.1. It comes with the SMS displayed as a chat conversation, which is neat. I want to backup all these conversations, as they are.

When I try most SMS backup software,(like iMobile SMS backup or Godswmobile SMS transfer) they backup all the messages, but they don't save it in a conversation way. They split them into sent or received smses, and its really hard to make sense of things and its tiresome.

Is there any software that can save the entire conversation as they are displayed in wm6.1? (i.e sent-received-sent-received etc)

Or at least someone can think of in this way:

In the conversation window, I can select all, and then copy the messages to Microsoft word or Note. The problem is, it shows very few messages at a time(as the screen is small, so only like 7 or 8 are displayed at a time), and I have to keep clicking on 'Older' to go to the very first sms, which is like a 1000 click before. And its tiresome to copy/paste it in the word, and if one small error, you are pushed back to the very recent sms chat.

Cant I just access the main html/xml file on the mobile where all of this is stored? Anyone knows how to retrieve the file where all your SMS chat/conversation is saved?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Darthinvader:
Okay, I found the software.

Jeyo Software is the one. God, I wish I had known such a software existed before. Its just beautiful.

One more thing, any idea how to restore contacts that were saved as .xml?

For $3.99... sure the design is really innovative but the functionality is missing. I type so much faster on swiftkey compared to minuum. Swiftkey is on sale for $1.99 for anyone who is interested.
[General Topics] qrono:
Yes, I love Swiftkey too, I take it in the firsst days of sale, for me it has a better prediction than minuum.

Minuum has still a few option, It seems me like an advanced T9, but, for example it's quite hard to change a word if the prediction is not the right one. The last reason because I don't like it much is that it works only in english while in swiftkey I can use english and my native language at the same time.

Minuum really slows down a low end phone. The keyboard would freeze and close on its own Since its still in the beta stage, hopefully they will have better accuracy in the future along with a more usable keyboard.

First off, I'm not new to rooting etc. I've previously rooted several HTC devices and achieved s-off which for those ofyou who know HTC phones, know that the process can be difficult.

That being said, I've recently switched to my very first Samsung device and have achieved root with no problems, but was unable to flash any roms. After searching for a week and coming up empty handed, I decided I'd try the all in one toolbox. I downloaded it and when checking my build number, I discovered what my problem likely is.

My phone is with telus and is the 1747M.

How have I managed to get that build number? Can I change the build easily enough? Should I leave it on that build and just use roms meant for the i9300?

Thanks in advance for your help!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
DO NOT USE i9300!! If it is a carrier device (i747[M]), which it is, you will brick your phone and have to get it JTAGGED. You need to only flash ROMs located in this section.

I've read all of that stuff and the answer to my question isn't there. My build number is the same as listed in i9300. I wasn't going to flash any of those roms without finding out if that was the solution to my problem. I don't want to brick my phone and therefor I stopped doing anything to it until I was able to get some help on how to proceed. I only discovered the build number issue when I tried to use the all in one toolkit and noticed my build number didn't match any of the telus ones but the 9300 ones. I guess I'll just have to continue researching on my own to figure it out. I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't stuck. Thanks anyways:)
