One of the best that i used

Tried lots of ROM's and this one is olnly with correct and full port of framework.

P.S. Guys, why silly noobs asks stpd questions at development threads, and I - user of android for 3 years, changing and customizing roms every evening, have already installed and tryed almost all the xperia S rom's can't post there, cause i have no 10 posts somewhere else :D :eek:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kevindeoz:
I am agree with you, I can't post in discussion threads on development section

Sometimes, I can help others with my (basic, but experimented) knowledge, but I can't for that rule :(

Anyway, I am so happy with eXistenZ Ultra, is The Perfect ROM for Xperia S :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djdim:
Great ROM! I have been using 2 and a half weeks now and its still stable and smooth.

Just a Question:

I have flashed the "Advanced Stock Camera & Widget" and i want to give a try to burst mode (multiple photos in one second) but i cannot see this settings. Where can i find this? Do i have to flash Honami Camera, is it worth instead of the Advanced Stock?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] artttur:
You will not lost quality,ones flashed Honami camera,but You will have many many features(burst mode,AR effect(not much usablle but very funny,motion shot,motiongraph,info eye,360 panorama)). And in manual mode,I really don't see any diference compared with superior auto mod or something else. Hardware make the best what he(hardware) can in both mode.

That is my expirience. Maybe I'm wrong,then someone just correct me.

Hey guys..We poor xperia ion users don't have data working existenz.. As instructed by niaboc79 to change the basebrand..I flashed the baseband from. 211 fw via flashtool..but unfortunately noluck..

Can anybody tell me which is the baseband files on rom.zip..I want to chnge baseband from other. 96 based jellybean rom where data are working?? Plz give some ideas guys...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] indesisiv:
Grab the ftf for the stock firmware from here and then just flash the baseband only. ie. Don't wipe data, and exclude everything apart from the Baseband.

-------------- Looks like niaboc is aware of this issue and is looking into it -------------------------
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cezarry:
Hey there :)

It may not be the best place, but since I'm using eXistenZ and I'm not sure where could I ask... ;)

Does anyone know if there's a way to hide extended battery mode icon? I've tried xposed module for hiding stamina icon, but with no success. I'm not yet familiar with compiling/decompiling apps, but if I have to, I'll give it a try ;) And which module can hide battery icon itself? (no needed if there's a percentage text).

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jerzyjerzy:
I have a strange problem I have not been able to solve for a long time. The problem is, I cannot install applications from .apk files (of course, I have the "Install from unknown sources" option checked). When I click the file, dialogs start correctly but then at the end, the Install button is grayed-out and I cannot click it. I can click the Cancel button only. (Although, I can install applications from the Google store, and also with adb from a computer).

It is not the eXistenZ's bug, because this problem does not happen after a clean installation. It starts after some applications are restored with Titanium Backup. It happens even if I install clean apps from the Google store, and then restore just app data from a backup. I have around 100 apps, so it would be very time-consuming setting them all up from a scratch.

Have any of you seen such a thing, and maybe know what it is connected to?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I have not had that exact problem, but others related to app data. I'd recommend taking a look at every app and seeing if it really worth a few seconds to set it up again. For example, Facebook, Dropbox, G+... It takes just a few seconds to do it. Try to keep the data restore at minimum...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jerzyjerzy:
That's the plan, actually. I am just waiting for a black eXistenZ version to do it, and I will install absolutely everything from a scratch.

I am just curious what causes it, as after a previous occurrence of this problem, during my current installation I really tried to minimize restoring anything from a backup, and I did it only for applications with complicated/long setup (like AntiTheft, for example). And despite being as careful as possible, it still started to happen after the final reboot.

I asked here because we have here a large number of people with lots of experience. I bet it is a single application causing it, and maybe somebody knows which one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
I have had that bug in existenz v2.. that happened to me when ever i restored my backup via titanium or cwm.. but then a clean flash would solve it.. If u want to backup ur apps, use APK Batch Installer.. It backs up even system apps from PC.. Its a Pc tool.. Good tool i must say.. We can always restore/backup selective apps too.. One click only.. No need to do things for each app.. I suggest u to use it... ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
There's an app that lists all your installed apps into a .txt file, I just can't remember the name. Try restoring all of them, installing the app and list here. Or just use the Installed Apps filter in Xperia Home and screenshot all of them, It might help us have a better clue.

About Black version, I think Niaboc threw that idea away. He had been working on many new features, and 4.3 is coming soon to 3 devices that he will support (Xperia SP and Z, that he owns, and Tablet Z, that I own). S, as it won't have any more big updates in terms of Android version, it should get slower dev from now on...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jerzyjerzy:
Thanks, guys.

I think I will just use the APK Batch Installer to plow up the phone with a clean installation.

But, if anybody reads my post, and accidentally knows what application causes the problem, I will still appreciate an answer.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] - Could you please confirm whether you still plan (or not)/(or when) the black version? It would help me (and many others, I think) to plan accordingly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gabrieljbl:
Hey guys, long time without visiting this thread. I'm here because I want your opinion about battery life. I charged my phone 100% and I got 1% in 2h 32 min. Over 3g, no phone calls. No videos. Just whatsapp, line. And a little navigation. Screen brightness at 25% is that okay?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
HI, [MENTION=4803217]Gabrieljbl[/MENTION],

did you get the Update 1.4, its got all bugs cleared .. :)

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Have a Question here, anybody know, whether this mod can be made to black version, cause i feel white's taking up much more display power consumption.. ;)

or is there any cw flash file available .. for turning to a complete black version.. ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gabrieljbl:
As far as I know there is only one update 1.3.5. And I already have it. Clean installation.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gravtec:
V1.4.0 is for existenz acro s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gabrieljbl:
Ok, but I have a Xperia S :) if someone could give it's opinion about what I said would be really helpful. Thank you in advance.

Phone doesn't mute

Hi,

sice a few weeks I got a problem with my xperia s. The Phone does not go into silent mode anymore. I shows the mute-symbol in status bar and says volume was at 0 in settings etc, but still wenn I recieve an email or whatsapp or what ever it notifies very loudly.

I don't know if it's caused by the rom or other apps and mods, but maybe anyone has an suggestion or a similar problem ?

I already deactivated all xposed modules as well as tasker, cleared cache, dalvik and even flashed the 1.3.5 zip of the rom again (without wipping data)

I really don't want to do a fresh install and set up the whole phone again....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] barret95:
I had that problem, How i fixed it was rebooting the phone when the problem came up. Try doing that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] barbosa84:
Hello,im new eXistenZ user here, already tried search button but no luck. I have a question, which Engine is should apply on display setting: BRAVIA or X-Reality? Thank you.

One or the other,not both ;)

I'm new on flashing ROM and this is my first ROM to flash on my XS and Im loving it now maybe I will stick with this ROM forever. And here's what I find out, sometimes the album app FC's but not too often, that's okay, is it normal or not? and one thing, I flashed the EXR Honami Camera MOD and when I'm using Timeshift then choosing the best shot the camera then FC's and when using AR on front cam it closes too when a face it detected gone in its view. Already tried clearing cache and dalvik also data on camera and camera common and it didnt fixed it. Is there a fix for this or just a normal thing since it's just a port from Z1? Already tried clearing cache and dalvik also data on camera and camera common and it didnt fixed it. Also I noticed that motiongraph don't work too when it is saving what you captured, it just stuck on 98% I think. The rest is working fine I didnt find any problems yet. I'm just new here sorry for a lot of questions. :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spraite25:
Tried today.

The ROM is great but i'm experiencing a lot of lag using two or more apps... Is this normal?

I'm on 1.35 + Trinity Kernel (latest)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Try Doomkernel ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gameputra:
Not pleasant experience on SL

I have used existez ultra on my xperia SL for 3 months. While the rom iself is very good and snazzy, there were a couple of problems.

1. PC companion and all other software/app started to detect my device as xperia S instead of SL.

2. Camera stopped working.

3. Carrier menu fonts were white on white background, hence unreadable.

4. Huge performance drop after a week or two. Rom became very unstable with lots of force closes

5. Huge battery drain.

6. Only 100 MB memory free (with 2 games and FB messenger and watsapp installed)

I've gone back to stock rom, 6.2.B.1.96 which has awesome performance and stability. But I miss the existenz options :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] l0veysingh:
Very right....Same experience with me :P

for ur "3. Carrier menu fonts were white on white background, hence unreadable. " problem.......OTA update and then this problem will solve :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] domiankrey:
Is there any plan when to release eXistenZ Ultra Black for Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
As I said, once released for some others Xperia maybe if time ;)

Envoyé de mon C6603 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gameputra:
Thats one more thing I forgot to add. The ota app kept saying device not supported. I guess it was because my phone was SL.

Also the official ota kept notifying me that "new update 6.2.B.1.96 was available for download". It was of 40 MB. But it didn't allow me to install it after downloading anyways.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] l0veysingh:
You can download it from the thread and then put that downloaded file in Ota updater folder.......Do u want link?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
Flash latest kernel or disable update center in settings/apps/all

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djdim:
Great ROM again! Just 2 questions:

1. Because lack of memory some apps are restarting often in the background (i see it from settings-appss-running). Does this affect the battery?

2. DoomKernel v04 (5th January 2014) was released. Do we have any member that has installed it with good statistics or its better to stay in 3.4?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
1. It can affect the battery as every time the app needs to reopen, the processor ramps up to open it quickly.

2. Erm, are you sure you checked the right thread? I am using v6 for over six months already...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djdim:
"about Phone" says 3.4.0 (check my attachment. am i looking something wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dermaze:
yes, indeed - 3.4.0 is the version of the linux kernel on which the newer kernels around here are based. My best guess would be that the "#6" is the DoomKernel version number, but I'm not sure. What I can say for sure is, that my description is looking exactly the same, and I'm using DoomKernel v6.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Yes, looking at something wrong. That's The Linux kernel itself. It is the latest Linux kernel for Android available. Since last version (3.0, if I remember well), it brought some improvements related to performance, battery and etc.

There is a 3.8 version already, but we don't have it yet on Android, only Linux distros themselves.

Anyway, the kernel version is the number at the end of the second line Of what you are looking for.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
I always wondered what changes between linux kernel versions.. My father's phone shows 3.0.31 and mine it's 3.4.68. I used different kernels on my Xperia S with various linux versions but didn't notice anything different. :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ElBarto1984:
not booting

Hi,

after my phone's battery went down to like 10% the Phone suddenly jumps down to 0% and shuts down. After that the Phone does not boot anymore ( after recharging of course ). It get's stuck at the animated EXISTENZ logo.

This happened to me 3 times now and I always had to recover an nandroid backup since nothing else worked.

I tried clearing cache, dalvik, system, reflashing kernel, reflashing the rom without wiping data... nothing.

Fresh Install works of course, but when I recover my data from the nandroid backup that didn't boot, it is the same again.

Did anyone ever get that problem ?

I'm on doomkernel and rom version 1.3.5.

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
Look for battery calibration on google ;)

Envoyé de mon C6603 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ElBarto1984:
Thanks for the reply! Do you think recalibrating the battery will work ? Because the main problem is not the drop from 10%-0% but the fact that the phone gets stuck at the bootanimation after that (I'm not sure if that happens everytime because usually I charge at something around 20%, but I think the 3 times I had that problem, my battry ran flat right before)

I will try anyway.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
If the same thing happens even after caliberation or same in all other ROMs, then is h/w realted.. It means ur battery is wearing off...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
It does not mean that your battery is wearing off, after I flashed this ROM my battery would jump from 22% to 1%. Just hold Power Button + Vol. UP until you feel 3 vibrations. Reset your phone and everything will be back to normal. This procedure is similar to removing the battery...

Ok wtf wifi does not turn on on existenZ honami ultra... On a fresh install

This is my first com ever (noob).

I've read almost the developper and discussion threads and I can only salute the work of [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]. I'm still on stock ROM but I'm really interested by flashing that custom one. It's the first time for me and I'm still confused how to do it. Any clear guide to make it fully working and avoid bricking my white Xperia S? That ROM seems to be awesome!!!

If I can suggest something, as a musician, I would love finding a Beats Audio app on V2 update (just in case it's not already done).

Hope my english wasn't so bad and happy to join the experience!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gabrieljbl:

Your choice to use crappy rom while waiting ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gabrieljbl:
Wow harsh comment... real though! ;) hahaha v3 must be The Rom. thank you man!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
For all,

It take time for me to release rom because I am not doing like others who are taking various mods and apps, put all in a zip and publish...

No, all inside my rom is made by me. All mods, all ports, all design, all png, everything from A to Z is build by me.

For this rom I have modded or ported nearly all apk inside system folder.

Porting an app take many times and tests, for example final phonebook you will use is the 58th version I've build...

I did nearly 1000 systemUI since I am developing :-S

With all of this I have a rude job, I am a train driver, a familly and a young little daughter.

Thanks for supporting and respecting my work guys, I am happy when I see you are happy :cool:

you deserve big things dude.i also wanna do development for xperia s but no coding knowledge.really your doing hard works and the guys asking for releasing the rom soon,dont know how much efforts u put,how much time it needs,THANK YOU dude :good:.hope your efforts bring out a wonderful rom ;) i wanna see the themes you modified :D i want my xperia s to look different from my friend's xperia s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
I'm balancing between ex v2 and trinity.

I'm totally satisfied with v2 - only thing I need from 96 is camera.

And yeah, you are totally right about ALMOST all others ROM.

It's not developing if you took others people MOD and copy them to stock ROM.

Belive me, your work is recognised - just look that hype your ROM created, I already said that, it's like new iPhone will be released :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] enriquettoo:
That is the point why we are waiting for v3.

I did get to connect the phone wirelessly using NFC to a Bravia TV.. I had been to a mall nearby my home, there was a presentation of the new Bravia TV(80 lakh pixels) i forgot the name.. But i was able to connect to it via NFC and it worked like a charm.. I really was impressed that our phone hardly lagged.. Syncing was so fast and played 1080p videos from my phone and saw it on TV.. Although TV was so good.. It was my 1st NFC experience.. :p

Hats off to u mate.. You are really an inspiration for someone who also want to develop something.. Someone like me.. Although i have some knowledge about this(Not as much as required though). Words aint enough to describe your hard work mate.. Cheers though.. :cool:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bakerloory:
Thank you very much for your hard work niaboc! I tried other roms attracted by mods and addons, but I always ended up reinstalling yours because I think it's better installing a nearly perfect and stable rom and then adding one or two mods than a hard modded rom that will easily cause some problem (and needs weekly update to solve them).

Take your time for V3, we all know it will be great!

any chance of adding the xperia unread thing?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
What Niaboc said - is true.

I theme my settings and framework by myself and it's not easy job.

O.K, he knows 100x more things then me but even I know what I need it still takes whole day for just one thing.

So I can imagine how many hours you need to "sacrifice" if you porting app from scratch and you have to redrawn all switches, backgrounds and other png's, edit millions smali and xml files.

That's not easy job even if you know exactly what are you doing...

It is an paid app. So, sadly, no...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
There is something in my phone (read: framework) that is keeping it with the CPU on the highest frequency all the time, in any governor that can go up to. Besides, status bar with Tab and Grid is very buggy, and often laggy... The first one might be a combo of something not working probably in Niaboc's framework or something I have added myself...

That is, sadly, making my battery horrible. Like, 20% in 20 min. I will do a reset and let the phone a bit and watch.

I know it isn't a kernel problem because apps say it is the framework using half of the CPU...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Do u mean to say Tab N Grid is eating your battery juice?? If so, i don't think its the culprit.. Yes, it lags a bit.. Not so smooth.. There are tiny bugs.. But it didn't cause any battery problems for me.. Try using Ondemand governor for CPU0 and Conservative for CPU1.. That's the best combination to save battery and obtain good performance.. Good Combo.. May be as u said, u might have added something to his framework.. :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No. Something in the final v3 framework is causing me problems. The phone does not overheat even with a high CPU speed... Battery is too early to say yet...

Tab and Grid is another story. Very laggy... [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] , please release an add on without Tab and Grid and just the normal status bar toggles... No hurry though...

Enviado de meu LT26i usando Tapatalk 4
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Oh u mean u were using eXistenZ v3.. Try changing the framework to stock and see.. Just to confirm its the culprit or not.. I don't really think framework has a lot to do with battery..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Battery isn't the problem, but CPU load... And I did the test: Framework is the culprit... But it might be a bug with my phone... V3 isn't complete, even over .96

About Beats, it only Makes audio a bit more bassy. Besides, you can install it manually. Niaboc79 doesn't use tweaks like those in his ROMS
