Launcher redraws may be solved by changing theme>apply>change back to the theme of choice. ;)

FCs in system ui when accessing quick settings- 1.disabled> uninstalled my tinted status bar, then reistall 2.0.5, but the problem still persists; 2.followed instructions from FAQ at page1, and uncheck toggle before moving, but the problem still persists.

But when I try this one:

I can only suggest that you download the OTA and reinstall it, Initially I downloaded the first ota update and messed around for quite a while before niaboc79 fixed the error, since then the only issue is quick options. which is not something I am going into often so its not really an issue, sorry i can offer no advice.

It would seem after a couple of reboots, that even that glitch has cleared up, kitkat transparent status bar works fine, everything seems to be running fine.

Just sidebar like other sidebar apps (sidebar pro,etc)... the sidebar already bundled with xblast module, so I don't need any sidebar apps which is consume huge ram :)

Xblast have more modding feature than gravity box

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
It's not a problem with the ROM, it's a problem with almost all Xperia S = Lack of Memory.

Web browsing consumes a LOT of RAM, expecially if you are using Chrome or Firefox. In order to free more memory and consequently have a smoother web experience, your phones purge other apps, like Walkman. A good way to solve this is using ZRAM, but it's Kernel related and we would need a Kernel Developer to "give" it to us. Trinity was developing an awesome kernel with ZRAM working but people started raging on his thread and he gave up developing for the Xperia S... :good:

There are some apps on the Play Store that claim to do a similar job as ZRAM but I tested them and I didn't think it worked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] brown_89:
sorry if i am going OT,but there's a way to find and install other themes? (without exposed)

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] sorry if it's very noob question. But is it possible that Z1 compact camera will work better on old devices? Due to same screen size,or it's not related to it?

Regards...

P.S Is Your new update,just for theme and Your awesome new widjets? Or have You also improved something related to battery,performance,RAM management? On 1.3.5 everything was great, only free RAM last time stay about 70 Mb. Device come a little lazy,I REALLY DON"T understand much from it. I know only,that RAM is related to APPs installed by user,but background processes management is related to ROM or more to kernel? Sorry for English. Hope You understand what I mean :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
Screen size is not related with camera app ;)

Only theming in the update ;)

Niaboc,the ROM is really great,only have few graphics glitches,but I can deal with it,it's nothing compared to the amazing rom! I only have two questions: the honami camera can't be better? I mean,now it's amazing,but will we have al the settings working in the future?

And the second thing, there will be the possibility to have stamina working,if kernel support it? Maybe with an addon?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
A quick question. Why do you only develop ROMs? This section misses a Kernel Developer so much.. If your ROM is this good, I can't imagine how perfect would be a Kernel of yours. :confused:

The launcher redraws and System UI FC's have decreased a lot for me now.So happy. I just have one problem and that's that I have to re-enable my 3rd party keyboard (Swiftkey) everytime I reboot the phone. I read somewhere that this irritating bug cannot be ironed out but I was using this particular ROM before - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2624199 and it never had this keyboard problem.Of course, that ROM was I think a 4.3 port but could Niaboc take a look at it if everybody has this same problem?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jerzyjerzy:
You can do it with Xposed Framework and the Xposed Additions module. Just install both, and in Xposed Additions select Re-map Settings>Add new button >touch the Home button (normally, not the long press)>OK. Then, in BUTTONS>Home select Long Press Action>Recent Apps.

The re-mapped Home long press works correctly. I have been using it for over a month - no problems whatsoever.

In Xposed Additions select Re-map Settings>Add new button. A dialog (Intercept Key Code) is displayed asking you to press the button you want to remap. Click the Home button ONCE (just touch it).

If it sends you to the Home screen it means you press the Home key for too long. Just try again from the beginning.

Then the dialog displays the button code, which is Key Code 3 in case of the Home button. Click OK.

When the Home Button position shows up in the list then you can program it.

this is all ( see screenshots) the xposed modules i use on this rom, i use GravityBox to enable navBar and adjust it's size and transparency. App settings module to lock the home.apk in device memory to avoid lag and redraw. Tinted status bar to achieve Kitkat gradient in both statusbar and NavBar.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I've talked with him about that long ago. Unfortunately, that feature relies on a file (.so , I think) that is device specific and it cannot be opened (decompiled) and, thus can't be ported. You could port the apk, but the rest needed to work can't.

I have a SystemUI mod of iOS 7. It replicates almost identically. However, I'm still running 1.3.5 and, thus, the mod is made for it (I'm too lazy, and without time right now, to update to 2.0.5 and make Tinted Status Bar work perfectly with it). As soon as I update and "port" it, I will release. However, here is a little sneak peek:

Know that it does NOT fully reassemble the final mod version (you will need a couple of things to look like that. Full tutorial when released). I still need to change the WiFi icons.

The Week Day and AM/PM thing, fully white battery icon require some settings and a Xposed module or two. Maybe even hide Extended Battery Icon and NFC.
