Toggle2G Helps!

Love this ROM!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!

For me, only issue I encounter is Honami Camera is not working (Blackout and nothing happens) but all others works great!

For those who had reported issue with battery, I'd reacognized some applications tries to gather some information and it takes a day or two to settle it down.

For example, Alubm app tried to analyze the face of tons of pictures to make index and it surely sucks up the battery while doing that. Also, I saw "fileman:search" was big battery user once, which is creating file index by FileCommander, I bet. I let it freeze by Titanium because I always use ES File Explorer as default.

Meantime, I use "Toggle2G" to switch 2G data immediately after screen is off.

It says only works for Cyanogen based ROM but it seems working fine for this ROM, too.

For my device, it's about 1% per hour or less while in idle. Very happy with result :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Thank you.

Honami Camera should work if properly initiated. See below:

1. Put camera widgets on home screen

2. Press Dinosaur

3. Press another Dinosaur on the bottom left

4. Choose Manual (M)

From now on you can start camera by pressing the single camera button.

Can u just tell or show me what all apps do.you use ? I have no idea why my media server and cell standby eating so much battery

. I think mediaserver also works with walkman player as i listen to music lots and then only mediaserver drains battery i think . I have attached some pics of usage of two days and also of apps that i have installed
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
Hi optimumpro, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, my camera widget grayed out the "Dinosaur" icon so I cannot even touch it but I honestly don't mind that. I'm still happy with other camera.

Oh, one more bug (issue?) I found yesterday.

Settings > Storage > Transfer data to SD Card

As soon as tapping "Transfer data to SD Card", Settings force close.

I can still transfer apps to the Internal Storage from "Apps", though ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Check if you have ar-effect.apk installed in system/apps and that it has appropriate permissions. If not, you can unzip my rom and manually transfer the app to system/apps
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
Hi ben cherian,

I use "Battery Mix" to narrow down the active application which may cause drainage. "Battery Usage" from system reports the info too widely.

BTW, did you activate "Music Unlimited", too? If you're not using that, try to uncheck for Music Unlimited service.

I hope it helps your situation!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Music unlimited is uncheked alredy before . Does walkman cause media server to drain battery ? If so which another app can i use to play music
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
I also received drainage from media. I simply turned on my 4g in math class and it drained 8% in a short amount of time. I was wondering what specific item is causing this
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cjsabaki:
Press on the media line and see if it tells you the culprit.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
Hmm... still no luck. I assigned all permissions (really, everything!) but failed. Next step was to copy from the ROM and transfer, assign all permissions, still no good.

I guess I'll stop here because I'm still happy with other camera, though :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Well. The reason camera isn't working for you is that you can't initiate it through dinosaur. Try clearing data for camera and camera common. Let me guess: you didn't format system/cache/data, but just did factory reset. Otherwise, camera works fine except for superior auto.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
Oh, wait!! Dino is still disabled but I could launch Camera through "Time Shift" icon after transferring ar apk.

Like optimumpro mentioned, it works in Manual Mode and no 2M pix. Now I got Honami camera :cool:

And no, I formatted system/cache/data by mounting through CWM but Thank you so much for all of your support, optimumpro!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
Man this rom is working awesome on my xperia ion at&t version, I have had problems with other roms in my phone but this one works perfect.

I then flashed at&t ics baseband.

How to install the battery fix without the reboot menu option? What files to manually move?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Back up your rom. Unzip the file, go to system/framework and delete everything but framework-res.apk. Zip and flash. Don't try to install the app manually, you'll get immediate bootloop.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
Honami Camera launch through dinosaur icon - Ok.

Camera is on but when i choose Manual mode, i am getting Camera FC.

Timeshift Burst is also working. what's wrong here?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You shouldn't be getting F/C in manual mode if you did a clean install, meaning go to Mount and Storage, Mount System/Cache/Data and formatting each. If you just did erase data/factory reset, that may be the reason (as the latter just erases user apps and resets settings). Before reflashing go to settings/app and clear data for camera and camera common. Then try again. If it doesn't help, then you need clean install with mounts and format.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Bootanimation

I have made some improvements in blue boot animation. Since quite a few users noted that the rom is fast and furious :), I have decided to increase animation speed to make it more energetic.

In case you want to restore the original bootanimation, before flashing, just go to system/media and save your bootanimation.zip with a different name. This way, you can later delete the new one and change the name back on the old one.

Just flash the attached zip in recovery and don't forget the Thank you button...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
i cleared app data many times but no luck. i guess i'll have to install the rom once again :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Can I safely delete any unwanted apps like textsecure and K9 email and whatever else I would like from the rom before install, then rezip and flash?

Of course, if you do it right.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aishwary:
its the smoothest rom i flashed till date..

there is only one problem the Camera FLASH is not working .

i tried flash on honami camera the stock camera even via flashlight application..

is there any fix??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

the Rom is very fast and i must say very well balanced in almost all areas.

I am loving the gentle haptic feedback unlike the stock one.

But the only concern is the honami camera.

It has too many addons (timeshift, AR effect, panorama, info-eye) and all of them consume useful memory.

Besides there is no SCN selection and flash, so it's kinda difficult to take pictures in normal conditions.

Can you make a separate zip containing stock camera that can replace the honami one?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
See post #136 for camera flash. It works.

Restoring stock camera won't work. You have another separate camera on board and it is fully functional (after you do steps in post #136)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
Does this one have the stock camera?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
This one has Gallery 3, which is a Google/Nexus camera. Works pretty good: 100% functional and pretty fast, takes half a second to load. But no stock camera. The only difference between this and what you have now is Honami Camera.

My advice: install the lib.so from #136 for flashlight and try Gallery 3, because that's what you will have in the other rom...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
thanks but it's the only camera why i have stick to stock rom on an unlocked bootloader :D

I will try to restore the stock camera or unfortunately i will have to leave this Rom :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Restoring camera might work if you put the files in the rom before flashing. By the way, according to another user, this rom works with several custom kernels.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I told you battery fix had nothing to do with volume panel. Volume panel is pain as the file is located in framework.jar smali. When I have time, I will do that. But volume panel, as it is, is not bad, you have white/black colors. Textsecure's white text is a problem for that application.

Dual band/5ghz not working for me. What type of encryption should I set for router. AES? TKIP?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
I see. I must have misread your post. Now, I have LED control, too. Thanks!!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Either one. Just make sure that you have the same settings in router and phone. For example, if you have aes in router and both aes and tkip in phone, it won't work. Just set it to aes only in both. Your router must support 5ghz and it has to be enabled.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Not seeing encryption settings in phone. I don't think we have that option. 5ghz is working on your device?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You have to long press on a wifi point (has to be disconnected), then choose modify network and you will get options.

Another option is just to leave everything on auto, then the phone should pick 5ghz if enabled in the router.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Could someone please confirm that 5ghz wifi is working? When I switch router to 5ghz connection drops.

Bravo to you Optimumpro on a great build. This is the first 96 port that does not have issues with my LT28at :good: Now I just hope it cures the little issues I was having on 211. Would you recommend supercharging this rom??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
No, I wouldn't recommend supercharging. I am not casting a doubt on the script itself, but rather saying that neither of the scripts I know of (including supercharger) takes full control of Android System and that means that scripts bring the apps into ram (to provide more speed) and then they get shut down by the System. And that goes on forever stressing the CPU and wasting battery. The only way one can benefit from scripts like supercharger, if they are implemented on kernel level, which is impossible on locked bootloaders.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yea that is why I asked. I know some of the supercharging does work well but the sd tweak and app tweak had a bad effect on it. What your saying makes allot of sense seeing as I had a few apps waking the device allot and killing the battery. Hope to get it setup the way I want it tonight and see how it runs for a few days. Again nice work.

yup. optimumpro, you should write more in detail and clearly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
For those who are coming from a different rom/fresh install:

You have 2 options: rom with honami camera and rom without it. Before flashing, go to mounts and storage, mount system/cache/data and format each. Factory reset and erasing data won't do.

If you want the rom with honami camera, then do the following:

1. Go here, download and install the rom with honami camera: http://d-h.st/GAc

2. Then go to post #136 for camera flash fix

3. Then apply battery fix from post #147

4. Then go to the bottom of OP (attachment) for update including led control, dock, power widget and dynamic boot animation

5. And finally go here: http://d-h.st/O5P for black volume panel update.

If you want the rom without honami camera, then go here: http://d-h.st/3DU

You can still do updates mentioned in 3, 4 and 5 above. You don't need camera flash fix.

When you do 3, 4 and 5, you don't need to wipe anything but dalvik cache, so you will be preserving your settings and apps.
