Thanks for the update. Superior Auto works flawlessly. :good::good: good job [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

Q : As I'm liking to use stock services like "Location Based wifi" & "My Xperia" with ur rom, is there any possible way?

(they usually come with Settings menu in other roms & not appearing under normal apps in launcher).

I pushed them to system/app set proper permissions, tried to "run" them but no luck..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 3andala:
i need another Xperia launcher as version before last update make lot of redraws :(

rom become little bit laggy too but still awesome :)

one more thing if u please Changelog for last version will be appreciated

thank u for ur hard work :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
The only changes made were to Honami Camera. You shouldn't have any launcher redraws. If you jumped from another rom, then you should have mounted system/cache/data and formatted each. If you just did factory reset and user data erase, that would explain your problems.

Don't use any task managers or ram managers: they will waste your battery and may be responsible for OOM problems. They try to modify OOM policy, which is hard coded in kernel or jar files. Also, don't use any init.d scripts. There is no custom rom that would properly implement init.d support. As a matter of fact, init.d is not beneficial to smart phones at all, due to limited battery power...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 3andala:
Thank u for replay 8 thanks limit will do it later :)

about format system.. i think i do it but not remember actually

not using INT.D

anyway i have locked bootloader do u think unlock it needed ?

i unlocked my devices np but if just needed

thnx again

No need to unlock bootloader.

If you want location to work, you need GAPPS and most likely be logged in to your NSA, oops, Google account. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
Haha, yeah I'd like to get away from Google myself, but I use search, maps, and other apps that rely on it.

Maybe in the op there could be suggested alternatives to the most commonly used Google apps and functions.

:laugh: I'm aware of that. Lol!

No, you misunderstood my question, that's ok however I found the modded apks from XDA.

One thing, Home redraws often when returning from a "large" app (Ex: FB, Browser, etc..), not complaining..

How many roms I test out there, I always come to this one ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Home redraws: that's the trade off for having Honami camera. Apart from hardware differences, Xperia Z1 has 2gb of ram. You can't beat that, but Honami camera's ram usage pales when compared to real ram wasters: FB and Gapps. I have none of those and never had any redraws.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
OK. I use K9 mail, which is an excellent open source e-mail client capable of accessing any e-mail provider. In addition, it works independently from Android synch settings. In other words, your synch could be set to off, which is a big battery saving. Maps: I use Sygic, which is a paid application, that has an outstanding search algorithm second to Garmin only. Not to mention, that there are plenty of GPS apps out there that are free. Further, since our device can act as a full blown computer, you can access any service including FB and other social apps, as on your PC/Apple/Linux device. There is nothing wrong with stock Conversations, but Textsecure is much better and secure: you can create a hell of many days for our friends at certain corrupt agencies trying to decipher your SMS (providing that the other person also uses the app). The more people use Textsecure, the more headache for those who think that privacy is used toilet paper. Clouds and other garbage: you can setup your PC as web server and use your own Cloud. Or use Swiss Wuala, if you want to share your life with a cloud. At least they claim that data stored on their servers is encrypted and inaccessible even to them. There is also nothing wrong with stock browser, but you can use Lightning browser, which is open source and is 300kb as opposed megabytes of other browsers. Firefox, although, open source, is known to record everything you do on the internet on their servers. I personally use Naked browser, which has a lot of features, but it is closed source, but at least the creator claims there is absolutely no spying and the browser is also a few hundred kbytes light. He also promises to make the source available soon.

I might have missed something, but again, the point is: you can do with our device whatever you do (and more) on your big computer.

Hey just wanted to chime in and let you know I got around to Supercharging my setup and it is working quite well. If you want to know exactly what I did let me know. I am enjoying my phone quite allot now with all it's Honaminess lol. Still have the sd card dismounting sometimes but only seems to do it if the device is on for three or more days. Have no clue why it would do this or that it only seems to be me who has?? I did not change the sd settings for this reason and seems to be ok so far.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Of course I am interested. Why don't you share that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Thanx . Gng to try your rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I had no trouble installing small apps from cm10 package without framework modes. Just use xposed framework with small apps module. How about extra thanks? :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
One more issue to report. This one is big for me as i have the srs-btv5 (sony nfc speaker pod thing), and I don't know if anyone else has this issue but for some reason my bluetooth volume is capped just below 50%, and when I try to turn the volume up the volume slider just shakes back and forth never increasing. If I move it by hand it appears to increase but doesn't.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Try the attached app. Push it to system with correct permissions and reboot. It should fix the problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Nope, still messed up. Pushed by first

mount -o rw,remount /system

then

cp /sdcard/Downloads/Bluetooth.apk /system/app

and then

chmod 644 /system/app/Bluetooth.apk

, finally followed by a

ls -la

to verify permissions were set correctly. Everything looks fine, but now Bluetooth Share crashes on occasion, and the original problem with extremely low volume is not fixed.

[edit]

I should mention that the above was all attempted via android terminal emulator, and after not seeming to work attempted once again via adb. Also, before you ask, yes I rebooted and yes I elevated privileges first.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You mean theses apps? They all work with Xposed module
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chocklety Boyee:
No I means port of taskswitcher and small apps from xperia z1 4.2.2 which looks like:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chocklety Boyee:
[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] bro look they have ported for CM 10.1 (4.2.2 jellybean)..

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Do you have this issue with other bluetooth devices? I am not familiar with your particular device. It is not an NFC issue? Also, did you actually check that the file was in system/app? Bluetooth share was not in the original release...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
What I am saying is that most small apps from that package work in stock rom without framework modes and with Xposed framework.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fernoct:
I'm gonna stick to this rom. I repeat, I'm gonna stick to this rom. ;)

Remarkable build [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]! I was looking for this kinda rom for such a long time..

Small in size, bloatware removed, good ol' keyboard, more responsive, blah blah!

However i've installed black conversions app cz I prefer that, no need to 'tweak' anything as I believe this is already a best.

One more thing bro, need your consent & a link to install google framework & play store (a flashable zip may be) cz it will be helpful for me & for anyone who find this rom a promising one. Cheers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Thank you. You can use Googleapps, the link is in my first post. As has been confirmed by another user they work including Google store. You can install whatever you want on your phone. Just don't use any of my work in your rom that you share (without my permission).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chocklety Boyee:
Bro I have not tried using xposed modules..The apps in that pakage cant be used in stock 4.1.2 jellybean is all that I have noticed..How can we use 4.2.2 system app using xposed framework???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
I did that when I verified the permissions via ls - la. I guess it not being in the original release explains why I'm getting errors now. Regardless the same thing happens with my other bluetooth device a sony MW600 bluetooth headset. I should mention that prior to trying this rom I've never had any issues with either of these devices. Also, why is recovery broken? Clockwork mod is gone after installation of this rom (makes sense due to formatting I suppose), but even after repeated re-installation attempts the boot hook never runs. The blue light never shows. It worked on every other rom I've tried..so it must be something that's missing from this or you're using a different base rom so the addresses are off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Just search for xperia miniapps xposed module. It is a part of Xposed framework.

I am not much into small apps, but I did try to install small apps from the Chinese package (that you linked earlier today) on my phone and they all worked together with Xperia miniapps module. You have to install Xposed framework first and then get that module.

Again, I confirm that most of those apps worked on my phone (not talking about task switcher).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Recovery: this is based on stock kernel and CWM, for obvious reasons, is not included. You always reinstall CWM in stock based roms. What message did you get when script finished running? Error or Success? I suggest "error." Why don't you try to reinstall/upgrade busybox and you should have no issues (use CWM recovery by Ganesh, which is in a sticky in this section.). Someone pmed me yesterday saying recovery wouldn't install, but after reinstalling busybox, the problem was solved.

Bluetooth: I have no issues with a few of my devices. Could you provide a logcat perhaps?

bluetooth not working

Am unable to use bluetooth for sending or recieving files . Even thou it shows bluetooth is enabled dere is no option of bluetooth sharing in any app . Pls help . And i wud like to have the weather widget seen in stock or honami roms..not the genie widget...but the other one provided by accuweather i think ...i searched market but its not there

Also i wud like to have notes seen in stock as it got cool widget

I didnt find xperia mini app module in download section.rather I found multiply mini app.. Bro can you send me link for that particular module withthe help of which I can use 4.2.2 mini apps??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
That's it. Install Xposed Framework, install miniapps module. Open Xposed, go to framework and hit install. Then go to modules and tick enable miniapps. Reboot. Manually transfer miniapps to system/apps with correct permissions. Install apps only, not framework or smallapps manager from that package. By the way, that package contains some nasty bloat, don't touch it. I am assuming that you have honami framework by way of having my rom or Niabok's Existense. Remember, all I am saying is that those apps work on my phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Just take bluetooth apk that I posted in this thread and manually transfer it to system/apps with correct permissions. You also need Note widget and Semc.Notes apps. Take them from any deodexed jb 1.96 rom and do the same as with blue tooth. I removed those intentionally as through them your phone could be easily hacked. Accuweather: unfortunately, I know nothing about it. Try to search this forum or Google.

Remember, system apps often misbehave, if they are added to the rom after install. That means you'll probably have to add them to the rom and then reinstall it. Fortunately, you don't have to do wiping, which should preserve most of your settings (if you already have my rom).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Ok first you need to flash the init.d file in dev as it was missing a folder. Then use the jar patcher. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914159

Click on the bat file and follow instructions. It wont give you SU so just do it normally as it still works. Once it has pulled, changed, and reinstalled you are ready.

Now you need script manager or something similar. Put the supercharge file on internal storage and run it as SU. Once it is running just follow the steps. First time its automated for the most part. I did not use the multitasking mod nor did I change sd read speeds. Think those two cause a issue but not sure yet.

The blackdog file is the most recent I think.

I also ran the 3g script as it shows some improvement in signal strength for wifi. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36794328#post36794328
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I have tried that before and in my view any benefit gained is outweighed by shortened battery life.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I have never noticed it effect battery life. On average I am getting around one day and six hours with a 14% screen on time. It does take allot of the lag away and runs butter smooth now. Keep in mind I am running all the Google stuff and everything Sony I can cram into it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Will give it a try again...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Just occurred to me I have not used the battery calibration script yet. May have to try it out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
OK. I did supercharge my phone again and the first thing I noticed is that Android OS jumped to over 36% from 7% on the list of battery wasters. Will wait a few days, but it looks the same as when I tried the last time...

All the sophistication and fancy script monolog is just that, because what it actually does is try to control/change OOM. You may have less lag if ram is cleaned often, but that does not address native apps starting again (other than killing them again). This causes OS work overtime and waste battery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yea that is what I am seeing now. I cleared some stuff and now just seeing how long it goes. After doing a three buzz shut down it seems to be ok. I am going to keep playing with it and see what happens. One thing I am seeing is allot less redraw of the home. It also seems to not have as much lag when opening contacts or mms. I also had a issue with some small apps not opening like browser when I click a link the first time. Second time it works but now it's first try every time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Keep in mind that I did the supercharging while the phone was charging. So, the battery stats does not include the time on AC. Then I rebooted the phone a few times (cleaned Dalvik cache too), then charged it to 100% and removed the charger. In about 3 hours, I had Android OS at 37%. The guy is right: the script is working. It is just doing more bad things than good ones...

You just can't successfully implement complex scripts unless they are in kernel and I am not aware of any custom kernel that is able to clean ram without sacrificing battery. There is this one guy who claims his init.d was implemented on kernel level. What a BS. He just doesn't know what he is talking about and doing...The kernel is not his and he has no idea how to implement things in roms, not to mention kernels. He also claims he enabled LTE in his rom. Right. And I invented Android.. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yea I get what your saying and just really messing around at this point. Milking a camel can be fun lol ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Here is some more feedback on Supercharging.

Whatever entries the script makes in build.prop are useless if there are original entries with different parameters. Here is how it works. For example, the script changes wifi supplicant value to 180. Yet, he does not delete the original entry of 15 and because his entries are at the bottom, they are not taken by the system, which instead takes original values. This applies to VM too.

In sum, the script creates questionable benefits (half not working at all) and unquestionable drain on battery. So, naturally, I desupercharged and my phone is back to normal...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Would it even be worth trying some manual build prop edits??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Perhaps, but you really need to know what you are doing. Plus, many things are hardcoded in kernel and framework and no matter what you do in build.prop won't necessarily work. Most things there are informational of what is hardcoded.

Hate to disappoint, but all this talk about battery calibration is nonsense. The only real calibration is 1full charge. By the way, each time you charge and unplug your phone, a new battery file is generated, so you start anew...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yea I see what you are saying. I did find my issue and it was not supercharge though I have seen the drain it creates. It was stamina xssm that was doing it so got to thinking and removed location wifi and it fixed it mostly. Also forgot about xposed and even though it was not being used it was interesting to see how much battery it took. So doing a day and a half with all the Google stuff is not bad and it all does what I want. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Can you tell me which app should i remove from system regarding stamina xssm and location wifi using root explorer ? I have disabled extended standy mode in app settings . If we remove location wifi will it affect wifi and its usage in anyway ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I removed Location wifi as it was causing a issue with stamina. I just used Titanium backup to remove it. I liked using it so I put it on here and even though it does help to remove your still going to have a issue. From further reading allot of the Sony devices have a strange issue with wifi. Supposedly if you set up a static IP for the phone on your network the problem goes away. Wifi works fine with or without the location app but make sure its location based wifi app. Like I said it was something I put on my device as it's not in Aoba rom.
