Use root app delete from play, free and fantastic. You can remove anything u want safely and completely

To counter the slowdown after 1 day problem, it isn't a RAM problem. I feel that the phone falls short of entropy. I started using Seeder and all started working nicely. Phone is still as smooth as ever after 2 days of uptime. I recommend using Seeder with Gingerbread

This should give a boost to the cwm. Use only with the cwm of the Rom.

Most likely it won't give problem s but I only tested in ics. Let me know if it works!

Long press volume skipe Track

Anyone know any mod that can long press volume key while playing Music for this ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
Because I like my mods. This Rom is intended to look the most to Xperia jb stock. If you want personal customization you can just flash them
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zigeddy:
I like the look of ROM definitely, sp far only thing that I mind is double percentage of battery life.

And also I used seeder, hope it really isnt just a placebo, thou it definitel Looks like it improved.

About root app delete, if I delete Timescape will it affect facebook. Need a confirmation on that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] satya-1998:
[MENTION=5102460]scofield119[/MENTION] no dude , confirmed prevention of slowdown issue. I tested myself on stock GB .184
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rastigo:
No it will not.follow this.first remove all timescape and Facebook components from phone.you can safely remove all,doesn't affect phone functionality in any way.then install Facebook from play and you are done.voila

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] satya-1998:
Whoever is building the new GB kernel, I think we just need a few things like-

1. More governors and IO schedulers

2. zRAM and zCache support

3. More frequency steppings, if possible

4. kExec

5. A good recovery

6. Other tweaks

Thanks :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bhargav4591:
Very cool!

I've been using this ROM for the past few hours and the first impression that I get is that a lot of work has gone into making it .

Love the UI and the lagless interface ,:good::highfive: BRILLIANT WORK :laugh:

Couple of doubts in the OP though,

You mentioned HOLO as a feature but I can't seem to find it.Were you referring only to FB messenger ?

Also, I don't have the brightness slider and Walkman is actually the default music player app in GB that's been themed

Another difference was as pointed out by S.Nahid ,certain parameters in the settings don't appear in english [Sorry for nit-picking]

Still, even with these minor details , this ROM is really beautiful,

RAM usage puts a smile on my face every time I check [ 120Mb-150 Mb free with whatsapp, hike,applock etc. in the background]

The default launcher has been modded perfectly :cool:

The recent apps manager has a refreshingly new look :good:

Thanks for making and sharing this beautiful ROM :o
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
if we got kexec support, in the command line of settings.ini, we can config zRam but not sure will work or not..

First thing first, I have to port Xperia GO sources to GB kernel zImage. That's a lot confusing now. As the bro DevSwift1 said, it is complex stuff for have GB zImage. I'm working on it with nexus 7 kexec tools and samsung epic GB kexec patch but no success. zImage won't booting and it says kexec error.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
Yes I get it's a rule. Just don't know why the need of creating account is

bad XD but meter mind

Haha I was joking. Just. Saying that it would be difficult. But what. I should be able to do is theming a bit more the.dock, without text.

Yep with that and init.d is a perfect kernel.

Thanks ;)

Holo is present in menus, like volume bar, confirmation of reboot and lot of things like that.

Brightness slider appears if you disable auto brightness.

And sure Walkman is just themed a bit.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] satya-1998:
Review-

1. Fast

2. Good UI

Bugs I've spotted and which need priority fixing

1. The non-english strings. Eg. In settings app some Spanish words are still there

2. Glitchy brightness slider

3. Some random characters appear next to clock in notification drawer. Something like 'S1317te29'

If these are fixed this would be perfect
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
Yeah I will fix 1 and 3, don't know what is 2 :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] satya-1998:
Also the size of the reboot icon in power menu is a bit too large. By number 2 in the previous post, I meant that if brightness is set at minimum, the sliders circle is half cut
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Garcia98:
I think I have already said this on HTCMania, but anyway... good job Diego! :D

This ROM is very fast and (the most) beautiful, fix the very few bugs and it would be perfect.

If you need help with something, you now where we are :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] satya-1998:
Yup, here are some more things. If all of us exactly detail the problems we face, dev will be able to make it bug free faster. Here are clock layout issues. First is from clock app and second from world clock

Guys i have installed this ROM and flashed the Part 2 V3 but even if i flash it an OTA update keeps coming saying a new version is available...i install it and nothing happens, what do I have to do?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] s-u-f-f-e-r:
The last version is 3.5 and it comes only after u download it from OTA App, the just after rebooting of phone press vol- button a cupple of times to get into recovery, and the file will flash itself automaticaly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kwstas 13:
So, the procedure is automated- or something like this, right? Thanks bro, i will give it a try

EDIT: Thanks bro, it's working like you sayed

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bcik:
I understand. There is an error in the notification bar. LEDs flash when the phone gets stuck working.

There are two reasons one battery indicator?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] s-u-f-f-e-r:

This problem with stucking after first touch exists before flashing this recovery fix anyway
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
Nice to hear it's working, touch wont't be fixed its a bug in the locked bootloader cwm, if you are ub flash a custom kernel and it will be fixed

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NeriL:
Is there some way to put battery icon at the right of percentage?

Can I extract xperia zl status bar battery icons, resize them and replace the ones in this rom? Do I have to change any value to specify steps?

'compilation number' in v3.5 says 'v3'.. Will ota updates screw up if I change that in build.prop?

I want to change date format in expanded status bar from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.. How can I do that?

I can live with all that, but I'll appreciate any help =)

This rom is my daily driver now! Congratulations to developer and people who help him!

You need diego910 permission to use it.. I edited mine for personal use

White line between toggles and everything else is 1dip thick instead of 2

Brightness slider is on clock/date/clear bar

No recent apps button

No 'ongoing' and 'latest' titles

Tried to hide carrier label, but instead I made it smaller xD

If you want me to do something for you I can give it a try..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ungaze:
Hi! I'm just awakening from my long slumber on installing ROMs and I'm kinda lost. Hope you guys can help.

So I'm assuming that with steps 1, 2 and 4, you do this using CWM right? I'm about to look for it, but if anyone can point me to a tut on how to install CWM on my wife's stock 4.0.4 XU then I'll be eternally grateful. Also, do I need to unlock the bootloader for this? Still in the process of back reading and I'll update my post if anything comes up.

Good luck to me, and TIA!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ungaze:
OK! Just finished installing CWM(by first using this to root without unlocking bootloader, then a comment from this to install the actual CWM recovery on a locked bootloader). Now I just need to wait for my download to finish and flash this ROM(Hope I'm doing this right)!

Seems like my browsers doesnt like the link for part1. Does anyone have a mirror for it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NeriL:
You don't need to unlock bootloader!

To root you'll need 4.0.4 (any build) with .10 kernel (flash it with flashtool), bat file to root, bat file to install CWM and drivers for flashmode.. You can Google for those....

Plug the phone turned on with debugging and execute root .bat.. Use normal mode.. A prompt to restore a backup will appear, restore it..

Phone will reboot 2 times

Make a backup of everything.. I recommend to use 'MyBackup'.. It's free and works flawlessly! It's on play store

Then use CWM .bat and it will be installed in a few seconds..

Now copy the rom zip file on the phone, turn off, turn on and while on Sony logo press volume down constantly to enter to CWM..

Make a factory reset and in advanced wipe dalvik cache, then go back and select zip file..

Reboot and you're done!

Now you can flash any kernel and any rom! You won't lose root or CWM unless you flash a Sony's firmware via flashtool

If you need more help, I'm glad to help =)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ungaze:
Thanks(albeit a little bit late, still commending your effort)! Exactly what I just did. It's just that I didn't find bits of info on the instructions about needing CWM(almost all released ROMs for XU don't mention anything about needing CWM).

Anyways, I really want to have a Gingerbread based ROM for it's speed and battery performance. It's just that I can't download part1 of the ROM which I recon is integral to the process. I guess I'll try some other ROM first before I could get my hands on another PC.

Kudos!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NeriL:
Ics and jb roms leave very few ram free.... It's nice to have 4.0+, but user experience isn't good enough.. Gingerbread is better on this device

As far as I know the only GB roms for XU are this one, GingerbreadRocks and stock Sony firmware..

There is a way to have Sony's GB rooted, but I don't remember procedure =/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ungaze:
OK, installed it and everything. Somehow, the language is somewhat messed up in the settings and the taskbar(using English-USA). Anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: A little more backreading told me to use the OTA updater app. Still waiting for it to finish

Edit Edit: Still the same after OTA

(I hope TS would update the instructions and make it hassle free even for beginners)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NeriL:
That issue is fixed in v3.5!

Maybe you downloaded it but it didn't flash..

Go to CWM, install zip option and install zip in OTA-update/download..

OTA app boots to CWM if you have a custom kernel.. On stock kernel you have to manually enter to recovery
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NeriL:
I think theme is complete!

-Base files extracted from GingerBeanSS v3.5

-Resources extracted from an android JB 4.2.2 virtual device (except for status bar toggles, which were extracted from CM9 rom)

-Some resources were made by me, I.e. status bar battery and signal

If Diego authorizes me, I'll upload a zip file to apply this theme via CWM..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
Good I see its a very complete theme, and yes you can share it :thumbup:

After 4 tries, finally got it to work.

1st try - bootloop after v3.5 OTA uptade

2nd try - buggy wifi after V3.0(can't update via OTA, duh!)

3rd try - same as 2nd

4th try - went lika a breeze

So far so good. Does anyone know which files I should remove if I'm not going to use the stock Sony launcher(like the launcher itself, timescape, the sony only widgets etc)? Also, couldn't I just save my phone's current ROM image, so that I could just flash it back as it is right now whenever something bad happens? Also, can I flash a different kernel even with a locked bootloader?

Also looking forward to new themes! TIA!

^First off, nice work. Lovin' it.

I also want my status bar clean. So no percentage for me too. Also could you do it in different colors too? Not really necessary, but it would be really nice if I could have it in gingerbread green or in plain B&W(or gray).

BTW, I'm not sure if it's a bug on your theme or the ROM as a whole, but my date shows up as "Tuesday 21 de January" instead of "Tuesday 21 of January" even with english as my chosen language(Also can't seem to change the date format. Here in the Philippines, we're used to "January 21, 2014 - Tuesday" format).

Also a little bit off topic, but could anyone point me to the font collection thread? Can't seem to find it.

Do you mean "first column" by "first reply"? I just use the normal en-us or English(United States) for my language(back here, it's really weird to have a phone using our native language). The format is really not that important to me(but it would be nice if I could change it), as well as the usage of "de" instead of "of". It's just that it's a bit of a crack from an otherwise perfectly made masterpiece. ;)

RE:Fonts. Thanks for the tip. I'd like to try the WP7 fonts aka segoe

If this is a one time thing, then no need to create a new thread IMO. But if your going to entertain requests and some modifications(as well as new works), then a new thread is the way to go IMHO.
