Good stuff

Hello,

Ive ran this rom (v7 for around 2 weeks and v8 for about four or five days) for a while now and i like it very much, battery life is ok as far as JB roms go.

from v7 to v8 the only real difference in performance i have noticed is the camera opens and performs quicker, (but the performance was great anyway :laugh:)

Antutu yielded 9878 for me. and its handled every game ive thrown at it reasonably well. (riptide GP,dead trigger 1&2,gt racing academy (optimized setting), jetpack joyride, world of goo, pou (lol), ski safari, temple run 1 & 2) there are a lot of apps missing from the playstore however i.e. injustice: gods among us (i know it would probably suck on our xperia U but i would still like to try it for myself)

really wish the cpu frequencies could be changed easily (i tried with performance tool and the manual way but for the life of me i could not get it to change i think the interactive,lazy etc.. and the sio,row etc.. change with performance tool, which of those would be the best for saving power but having a usable experience?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xXgethsemaneXx:
can i install the latest sony app in this rom?? :D honami media app
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
Yes, of course! ROM supports mods for Xperia P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xXgethsemaneXx:
oh glad to mention it,:),

if you mind, can i have the link of latest sony app? :laugh:

:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
There is a whole section for themes and apps and search button works. Bye

Phone lag :(

Hello kontini,

After I installed the ROM, I immediately tested the phone functionality, which is the most important feature for me. (After all, it is still supposed to be a phone :D) My procedure: a) turn off the screen, b) wait for increasingly longer lengths of time, c) call the phone, d) monitor first ring time, first phone pickup slider appearance, first answer time, etc.

I was very happy that the response time was virtually immediate. Ring came first, then about half a second later, the slider appeared. The slider had no problem to "pick up" the phone to go into speaking mode. There was also no delay in being able to speak---some other ROMs would have a one second delay before the person on the other side can hear. Even with the step b) wait time being roughly 30 min, I got pretty much the same good response.

However, after a day of running, a terrible phone lag has developed. Now the slider screen would appear quite quickly, but no ring at all. If I "slide open" the phone, the slider would get stuck at the green pick up position. If I leave the line ringing, eventually I would get one of those screens asking if I want to close the unresponsive phone. If I hang up the line from the other end, a missed call would be registered (as expected).

In addition, when I try to call out, the phone stays at the dial pad screen, rather than going into the "End Call" screen (to allow one to hang up).

The phone seems to behave fine otherwise. Would you be able to help with this lag please?

Some background. I came to this ROM from xNovathor. Prior to flashing, I flashed experimental kernel 9.0c4 then DevSwift1 V6 Full. Then I flashed kernel 11a, full wipe, and this ROM. The first time around I had trouble with being stuck at the SONY screen on the 2nd boot. After waiting for more than 10 min I gave up and started again from scratch. The second installation went smoother. Am not sure if I had screwed it up in some way. Am happy to try installing again if you think it would help. Thanks.

===Follow up===

The lag problem goes away after a reboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
If you came from non-stock or non-stock custom based roms you have to use flashtool to install a stock rom if not I can't help you because there can be issues not related to my rom, see OP.

Flash system from JB .100 ftf for Xperia P excluding all except SYSTEM is the best choice.

===Follow up===

Reboot is always the best thing before making a question :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
Ah... Sorry I was too much of a novice to understand the OP then. I thought flashing stock rom meant flashing one of the unofficial JB stock ROMs for XU. Let me look for that .100 of P and try again.

Thanks for clarifying, and perhaps you would want to edit the OP to avoid future questions. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
But did you reboot at least the first time as described in instructions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
Yes I did. Here's the sequence again:

install kernel 9.0c,

full wipe,

install unofficial JB DevSwift1 V6, boot & power off & boot again,

install kernel 11a,

full wipe,

install your ROM, boot & power off & boot again.

What do you think?

Am trying to find a link for 1.100 of XP, but so far nothing official looking. I must say the Index page of XU is better organized :p.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
As you must not install any other .zip rom before you don't actually need to flash P system, just reboot when phone became a bit slow for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
Would flashing P system help avoid intermittent rebooting, you think? I'm willing to go through that because I would like to have a more reliable phone functionality. After all, I don't really know when this lag would occur.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
...even ICS or GB becomes slow after a period of usage. It is on you. Let we know how it ends.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] faoliveira:
It's not ROM related, dialer is laggy even on Xperia P.

stuck at sony logo for an hour, sill no booted, tried 6 times, stuck at sony logo 6 hours, wasted 6 hrs, i think i need ur help to flash this rom, i am coming from galaxy su, no luck, waiting for ur help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
Flash ICS excluding kernel via flash tool and then my ROM so you'll avoid all issues
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] madhpharma:
worked

:good:

successfully flashed, can u make a flashable zip of v9 changes, because yesterdy only i have downloaded v8, thank u.

buddy how come pipi14's rom works without flashing ics while urs cannot??

any ideas?

kantry123
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
Have you tried to flash pipi14's rom over non stock roms? I think it could have the same behaviour.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Asycid:
Sorry to bother again, but a question:

I have a process that eats CPU even if Wi-Fi, GPS and everything is off an even if I don't touch the phone. You can see it in the attached IMG ( "lbsd" process) . I've searched google, but I've found nothing about that process. Is it kernel or ROM related? I'm on v8 of your rom, and newest experimental kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
I guess it should be something related to Location Based Service but I'm on v9 so same kernel but I don't see that process in execution
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scofield119:
Kontini But this location service can be hibernated with greenify without problems?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
Thank you. Will report back in a few days.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kwstas 13:
i'm facing this small issue as well...what are these init.d scripts and where can i find them to delete them? Which are they? Sorry for the big text though...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
/system/etc/init.d
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kwstas 13:
and what are they usefull for?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
They are tweaks but sometime they keep too much memory
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
The port doesn't seem to resolve the problem, kontini.

On boot, the phone app works fine. It doesn't have much lag (maybe half a sec between the slider appearing and the ring sound). However, the following day the app develops a terrible lag, where after about 1 sec, the slider appears but there is just no ring sound no matter how long I let the phone ring.

A reboot is needed to make the phone app be more responsive once more.

=======

p.s. This was on an installation of preflashing ICS .100 ftf, then V9.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
An update: not sure what has happened, but now two days later I no longer have this lag problem. Perhaps it is intermittent? Need more observations. I'll update if I notice something interesting.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xXgethsemaneXx:
Anyone who ported honami home on this rom? I end in bootloop :(

After almost a month using this rom my free ram is 130 airplane mode during sleep time. But open wifi :) greenify helps a lot in performance. Of this rom

Battery draining is only my problem :(

have you flashed extras package? Clear Xperia Home data from Settings-> Apps ->All to realign icons
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gismo_PL:
Yes, i Have flashed your package with Advanced Menu & i do clear settings for icon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
It's working to me. Check if system/vendor/overlay/com.sonyericsson.home-res.apk exists and if it has the right permissions rw- r-- r-- (644)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gismo_PL:
File in system/vendor/overlay/com.sonyericsson.home-res.apk have chmod 644. Look at screen.

I try one more time flash file: [JB]kontiniExtras[SmallApps][AdvancedPowerMenu][4x5AppsDrawer].zip.

It does not improve
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
Bro, your app drawer already is 4x5!:laugh: After applying extras you have last line empty, just need to reorder icons (move from second to first one or clear properly data of Xperia Home).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gismo_PL:
[MENTION=5380710]kontini[/MENTION] - i can't because icon come back on second page.

I flashed your ROM with kernel v11_c few times - few times bootloop on Sony logo.

After any startup worked :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
Have you done this?

Next time flash extras just after ROM and then reboot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HHest:
If I upgrade from v9, which wipes should I perform to keep my current apps and settings, please? Or is that not recommended?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
cache, dalvik and maybe Xperia Home data (in previous picture) depending of what app drawer do you want
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xXgethsemaneXx:
do v10 better than v9? just asking
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
you can see changelog, I removed some scripts that could cause lags but base ROM is the same only that now It's splitted in two parts to have a base more stock as possible so you can choose my extras or some other mods, and to be so I created some overlays so my tweaks like Call recording or Speed Dial survive if you replace Dialers or Contacts or my fixes like Dialer layout or WhiteMagic brightness, it means that if you use a mod for P it will be a bit better adapted for U even if you replaced the APKs, the same is for the Launcher 4x5, if you apply my extras and then you apply other Home.apk it will be forced to be 4x5, infact to come back to 4x4 just delete the respective overlay file in system/vendor/overlay and clean Xperia Home data
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xXgethsemaneXx:
so i see, sorry for the question, just wan't further explanation about the difference of the two versions thanks bro, i'll wait for the next version with better battery performance, i know that jb rom eat a lot of battery power even on other devices, but nothing is impossible at devs of xda hehehe, i'll stay for the v9 right now with v11 kernel

nice work :) :good:

Try to delete \system\etc\init.d\01ksm and report if there are improvements

You can use ES File Explorer

..Or it could be something related to Google Now/Search or StoreFront that often overwork cpu (delete first Storefront widget from last homescreen)

EDIT: I've provided a debloating package but it doesn't remove Google Now

heres how to get settings to display x-reality instead of be2

1. open the build.prop

2. look for these lines: ro.service.swiqi2.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi2.enable=1

3. change the number 2 to 3

4. save & reboot

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mayank7795:
I too have tried various ROMs after Unlocking my bootloader but BE doesn't seem to work and I knew that it was because of UL'ing my BL but still I got confused about it's working because every Stock based ROM included the feature.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kwstas 13:
Yes it is okay...if you are on Kontinis ROM then kernel on fastboot (that's the method i use, i extract the ZIP and then flash the boot.img from the kernel through flashtool) and i am on 200-1000 mhz, performance and sioplus

But i flash it through cwm bro, does it affect on tweaks in the rom?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kontini:
alAays flash cwm zip to change kernel because it contains not only the boot image but modules too to get work hardware on that version of the kernel.

whoa! bro i change to v9. kernel by cwm then my device is very fast in draining.. haha :D flash v11 it fast in draining than i flash v11 before.. then i use battery calibration then draining vanish during stadby mod, (i'm not using sim card),

i'll try your version 10 bro with v11 kernel :) thanks!

That option didn't show after I flashed with Unofficial_Stock_JB_XU_6.2.A.1.100_V10. Wonder if I missed any steps below

Here are the steps that I did when I encountered problem. Great for anyone who just starts to understand Android. I have found that Flashtool and RecoveryX are the easy way to play with. :good:

1. My kernel is 6.1.1.B.1.54, unable to Root so I use this steps below with flashtool

--Flash ics 6.1.1.b.1.10 Kernel

--Root with flashtools

--Flash ics 6.1.1.b.1.54 Kernel

2. Unlock bootloader with Flashtool with the Key

3. Run RecoverX

4. Flash boot image from Unofficial_Stock_JB_XU_6.2.A.1.100_V10 with flashtool

- Search on google to find this link since "How To Flash Custom Kernel Using Flashtool"

5. Flash the room follow the link below, recommend for 1st try, very detail

- Search google to find this link "Ported Official Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Firmware for Xperia U ST25i [6.2.A.1.100]'

Most of the problem I have encountered is rooting from step 1-3, the rest are easy after that.

Explaination of FlashTool when you use Flashmode or Fastboot mode. Very helpful

In regards to your problem, go to settings--> more... ---> mobile network and check the Data traffic option... By the way, you've done a great job learning all these things in 2-3 days... Well done.... And i don't know why you don't have the option that the poster above mentioned (settings---> data usage)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Warclock:
kwstas 13

As declassified mentioned, that was shown on official firmware as the picture below before the flashing.

The official FW has it on both location, under Data Usage and More .....

settings--> data usage ---> mobile data :eek:n/Off

settings--> more... ---> mobile network and check the Data traffic option.

However, Unofficial_Stock_JB_XU_6.2.A.1.100_V10 only show under settings--> more... ---> mobile network and check the Data traffic option.

If that's the only thing need to disable on the unofficial FW, then I am not worry :good:

Actually, I have combine many web sites together before flashing since here doesn't give much detail step by step how to use the software. :laugh: I don't know if any beginner would be able to follow
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kwstas 13:
Yes bro, this is the only thing you have to disable( i guess) as disabling it from either settings--> data usage ---> mobile data or settings--> more... ---> mobile network and check the Data traffic would do the same action...but it still remain a bug, doesn't it?
