Please don't apologies, i understand how overload someone's brain can be when flooded with physics while still developing a ROM :)

After all, you are still replying despite all the things in your mind, really appreciate that ^^

Yes i understand, sorry for misunderstanding i caused, what i meant to ask at the first place is rather quite simple, and never though it would cause so much confusion. Thanks anyway.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] @rka:
I have made flashed it twice. Clean install both the times. But got the long lasting black screen both the time from first boot and all the subsequent boot. will try flashing once. And provide you the logcats if I still get the issue. Thanks a lot for your response [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

Othe than this small issue, ROM runs really really smooth and is now my daily ROM. :D :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonypro:
i see the memory decreased from 680MB in stock and 712MB 4.2.2 to 620MB why?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Because 4.3 needs more memory.

I increased the amount of RAM reserved for the ION pool (ION memory allocator) in the kernel, because with stock ION memory pool values (and Carveout values), you'd be getting random reboots because e.g. the display HAL wouldn't be able to allocate the required amount of memory using ION to be able to run stable (yo mista rhyme!).

What would you prefer, soft reboots and instability or userspace memory decrease? ;)

Btw, if you look at the commit messages on any of my MR2/4.3 branches on GitHub, you will surely find the commit which is responsible for the ION memory change.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonypro:
am just curios about its performance is it better than older androids?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piponxs:
Is bootloop gone in aplpha 1? Anyone faced it yet?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] red.leader87:
I clean installed alpha 1 and never faced a bootloop.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
Are you running Alpha 1 ? I used to get such similar problems but i cant recreate this on Alpha 1.

I'm not fully convinced that I haven't seen this previously on Alpha 1 but at this time i am unable to recreate this.

I have tried rebooting gracefully, into recovery, into bootloader, using force reset and all working fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Ladies and gentlemen, KitKat is now officially announced (alongside with nexus 5) :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
Maybe in few weeks we will have it on xperia s ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
It should run smoothly, cause Google says the main aim is for it to be stable on legacy devices! Hope it's a future we can see :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhoenixKopf:
We should have an complete running 4.3 System but i am very sure that it would be.

I have a problem on Alpha1 when the Phone Reboot it only Show Opensemec Bootlogo. It only boot when i make a factory Reset.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hamad335500:
Will xperia s see Andriod 4.4 kitkat from Raymanfx?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ville525:
It will boot after some time. Just leave it for a couple of minutes. It's only during the first reboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marcio772:
What means WIP?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ville525:
Yes. He said he will stay on 4.3 for some time now but move on to 4.4 eventually.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lightstar3103:
Work in progress
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Though, out of curiosity, wouldn't it be a better idea to get 4.4 working and give it priorities over 4.3?

Seeing as how 4.4 is promised to improve performance and all... But then again the hassle probably isn't worth it until our "old" (4.3 and 4.2) video drivers arent't complete...

So much to debate over. :T
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hamad335500:
It will batter to work and spend time for 4.4 because Raymanfx have not much time to do driver 4.2 then 4.3 its batter to work once on 4.4 as it is latest
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Stop it guys.

RaymanFX has worked so hard on bringing 4.2 and 4.3 to our( outdated) device and now its like your are asking him for 4.4 come on,he has other projects to look after.

Just leave it him if he went to build a 4.4 ROM or not.

Be grateful to him and don't demand.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
Not a dev myself but from my general insight with what I have read, it may not look that easy. Yes, Google has promised it shall work on devices with only 512MB RAM. Sounds good but the biggest question here is why isn't the Galaxy Nexus, which quite easily by a long margin satisfies the spec requirement not getting the official 4.4 KitKat update?

That's only thanks to a Texas Instruments chipset and sadly, they have gone out of the mobile phone game especially when they were at the top of the chip market with Qualcomm. So that means there's no device support for that chipset which puts us Xperia S users in the same sticky situation thanks to no Snapdragon S3 support. Yeah thanks a bunch Qualcomm for ditching us when you felt it convenient.

Which leaves my final question to Rayman and the other devs, are we still going to face the same problem as 4.2 or 4.3 or am I being too doom-and-gloomy about this and this is the breakthrough our device was waiting for? Either way, there's a debate that's totally been made wide open with regards to manufacturers and how they are going to provide updates to not-at-all-flagship devices
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ZACHARiAS_:
CM and Kit-Kat

since our beloved develper is working with CM Based systems, maybe this post from CM Team itself could give all you peepz an insight on what comming in the future: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+CyanogenMod/posts/HpXkXU98R7q

now, it's all a question of patient. like [MENTION=5464288]Dev.7[/MENTION] said:

so let's just wait and give space and time to the dev, to keep on doing his thing. building a smoother, faster and more battery frinedly kernel.

this ammount of pressure should be put towards sony itself, since as from 4.4 google is going to pressure OEM's to create 4.4 based roms. and this time, we might get lucky. it all know depends of 2 things:

1) IF SONY is willing to update

2) IF QUALCOMM is available to reply positively to this "demand" from google to, and developing at least one last big development tool for running newer android versions, given if it depends from Qualcomm to support it now.

kudos!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ville525:
Does this really look normal? I guess the 400mb are mostly system apps since I've installed pretty much nothing, so shouldn't I have more space availabe? I get warnings for low internal memory and can't install most apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Trevor Chuah:
Ah Ha, I also experienced same problem before.

This is how I solved it.

Enable Root Access in your File Manager.

Go to : /data/

Delete a folder named "lost+found"

Then the storage is backed.

About the SuperUser, kindly go to Play Store and download the SuperSU or Superuser, and enable the rooting again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Our device has enough specs to run 4.4 but the limitation is the drivers.

Even the galaxy nexus won't we updated to the official 4.4 ,so don't expect any miracles especially from Sony and Qualcomm who have already ditched us.

All thanx to these developer's working so hard for our device that we at least have 4.2 and 4.3 for our device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Hi guys,

I don't know how but MX Player is able to play videos in landscape mode:eek:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
It's in s/w mode. It doesn't utilize gpu power to render video. It works well since alpha 0. But gives more resolution video (eg 1080p) won't play it smoothly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
Hi

4.4 kitkat aosp is out on Xperia z I hope someone could port it to our device

I think letama could do it :D

I wish I know how :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Porting a new android version isn't like porting an android ROM.

Either wait for someone to do it, in silence, or do it yourself.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Letama got a note 3 for himself so no further development for XS from him.

If my comment helped you,press that thanks button.

I am here to learn and help.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
Its not like u think. You have to spend alot of time with porting and stuff, and it it not easy ;) wait for rayman, and his opinion ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jafnh:
Right now I'm not using this ROM, and I'm a backer of another dev, but if [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] actually move to 4.4 with this ROM I will consider make my monthly donations to him instead, to help his work. I'll wait for his announcement about.

Sadly, I'm not a great dev to help this kind of work, but I will show support the way I can.

Best regards to you all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
As far as i know, rayman doesnt and will not accept donation. He will move on to 4.4 eventually, just a matter of time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jeanbassil:
Thanks so much for the hard work, it's sluggish and camera is annoying but it needs some times to get fixed and we know that, anyway thanks so much for working on that ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ville525:
Anyone else having prolems with snapchat? It just says "Unable to open the camera. Please try restaring the application."

I've already tried reinstalling it. I've got it to work one time by restaring the phone, but that doesn't work anymore either.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Hey guys :)

I am planning to release CM-10.2-M1 based on the latest source code soon.

It will contain numerous important fixes, updates, and also display fixes.

An exact list of things that changed will follow soon :)

I virtually have ZERO spare time at the moment, but I'm still trying to push out the one or other build, so new builds should arrive more frequently than they did with 4.2.2

Also, KitKat news. I got it running, but there are soft reboots all over the place, I am unable to take screenshots because it crashes as soon as it has fully booted. But hey, baby steps. KitKat will arrive, and no, I don't plan on buying a new device soon. I love the challenges that the Xperia S offers to me :)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwitchTheWolf:
Hello,

So, yesterday I got my new Sony Xperia Z1. Nice phone, looks good.

I put music on it, about 4 GB. So not too much. My previous phone, a HTC One X, had about 15GB.

But now, when I go to Walkman, it takes a good 5 minutes to load.

With my X, it took 2 seconds...

How can I solve this?

Because this is -really- bugging me.

Greets~
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youxing:
I noticed the vibration just stops working, no matter if it's haptic feedback or a notification. After a while, it starts working again. Reboot doesn't always help.

"But... sometimes I can type one, maybe two words and it disappears, sometimes I can write long e-mail and it works fine. If haptic vibration disappears it comes back after 1 - 2 minutes with screen off. Really strange. Just checked it again. It turned vibrations off when I started to type very fast.

I did "Diagnostics / vibrations" test before trying to reproduce this error. Vibrations were working fine. After haptic feedback disappeared vibrations in diagnostics stopped working too. Left the phone with screen off for two minutes. Vibration came back.

What's more funny. Sometimes haptic disappears and few words later it starts working again."

See over here http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1/Vibration-issue/m-p/410459#M2706

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
mine is not strong enough when receiving notifications
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Mine working just fine but I will reccomend few things:

Check in Settings > Sound if everything in selected, Vibrate on Touch, Vibrate when Ringing..

Turn-off the vibration on touch, it consume battery. Select only sound on touch and Set-up vibration only for Alarms and Notifications.

Sometime the feeling of the vibration can be confused, with long press will be vibrate more and vice-versa.

It's your choice.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyAndroidPro:

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterCarterSr:
Ok I am a new at tablets, I have been working with PC, html, VBA for years. I have an Asus TF 101 and was looking to install Ubuntu touch on it. I have seen a thread here://eeepadhacks.net/transformer-hacks/how-to-install-native-ubuntu-on-eeepad-transformer/[/url], and I was wondering what is the best version. Two I also was looking to install a new ROM on my EeePad Transformer, and was told that the best ROMs out right now is the Android_Revolution_HD-EeePad_2.1.0.zip, which features full stock experience with speed/RAM optimizations, better battery life, faster filesystem, and even overclocking kernel. Is this the best ROM for over clock and is it compatible with Ubuntu?

Thanks.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canisofwar:
I would recommend that you stick with android as i have used the ubuntu hacks and they are unusable and not even worth your time i would recommend however that you download the nightlies of catkiss 4.3 they are stable for use and are very fast you can use any kernel you would like and i get about 5 hours or so for battery life overclocked you can chroot your device and it will work fine but still i would stick to a laptop and the ubuntu touch version for this device is incomplete and not looking good

Okay,

I installed WM5 with no problem, but as a lot of my aps do not work on it, I am now trying to go back to Window 2003.

I have done all the needed stuff as told in the "How to Downgrade a WM5 Rom' (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5), but when I get at step 7, and run the 'MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe' (downloaded from the howto site) I get the following error:

(the 'MaUpgradeUt 'Device Software Update Utility - R1000 D1001' does also NOT show any info about the Device CE image version)

The ROM that I am trying to use is the same version as I was using before the WM5 update!

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moviecut:
Hello Active-Users,

i think this might have been discussed earlier but i didnt find any specific thread about it.

In general i am really happy with my s4 active (international version). but the custom rom support is actually really poor. There are Ports for AOSP 4.2.2 and CM10.2, but i wonder, if and when we will get any "official" AOSP or CM-Support? Most of the Hardware is known because auf the s4 (9505) and it has official support because auf the "google edition". Differences are 1) Camera 2) Screen and two sensors, that are not there in the active. so for me (i am no developer at all!) it should be possible, to patch official s4 roms for our s4 active. but who has knowledge about these thinks? could we ask for support of some good developers, maybe do some donations or something like that...

its so sad to see the s4 community having tons of roms to try and we didnt have any official support.

so, what must happen for an official aosp/cm-support?

Thank you for answers,

greetings, moviecut
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtchuah:
As far as I know, that's 2 stated differences between I9505 and I9295: 2 physical buttons and camera, not sure about other internal parts. Waiting for months for a good developer to have some minor tricks so that all I9505 is portable to I9295.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Since nobody has responded to this, I guess I will. To answer your question, yes you can more or less easily flash regular S4 ROMs onto our phones. Be aware that this has only been done in SafeStrap thus far. You could possibly make your phone unusable if you flash S4 ROMs as your only ROM without using SafeStrap.

To use a regular S4 ROM in SafeStrap:

Flash your desired regular S4 ROM into a new slot in SafeStrap. Currently you can only fash 4.2.2 TouchWiz based ROMs due to a kernel limitation with SafeStrap. I believe [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] is still working on this and hopefully we will eventually be able to use any kernels with SafeStrap.

Without rebooting, flash the MOD file of your stock ROM. So if your stock ROM is MF1, then flash the MF1 MOD file. MF2....flash MF2 MOD file, and MF3...flash MF3 MOD file. The MOD files can be found here.

Again without rebooting, flash the camera fix that was put together by LeJay. The camera fix can be found here.

Make your new ROM slot the active ROM slot and reboot your phone.

Once in the new ROM you need the key layout file in order to use the hard menu and back keys that the Active has. Go into /system/usr/keylayout using a file explorer, and add:

key 139 MENU

key 158 BACK

to gpio-keys.kl with a text editor. after that, reboot and they work like they should. (thanks to [MENTION=2451256]hokeymcf[/MENTION] for posting these instructions)

If any of this information is wrong please let me know and I will update this post so people don't brick phones. Please note that this has only been reported to work in SafeStrap so far, flashing regular S4 ROMs as your stock ROM could brick your device and has not been tested yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
Safestrap is only for the i537 - the AT&T S4 Active - this thread is about the i9295 which doesn't according to the safestrap post have that option. Flashing the roms directly won't work simply because without safestrap we run into the kernel issue of not having the right display drivers, and so the phone just won't work.

How much it costs?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gnadh2007:
I brought it a year ago for 3500 INR, it would be 2800 now

By the way do you need it for music or just for calls
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KP.Sharma:
I will use this for both music play and calls. How much battery backup it is giving?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gnadh2007:
Battery backup is around 8 to 9 hours roughly, But i never used it continously for that long..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KP.Sharma:
Thanks for the Info. After this model, Sony has released several new BT Headsets. Any idea about the performance of those?

lol this is not a CPU to test the performance :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KP.Sharma:
Sorry, i mean the sound quality and battery backup compared to MW600
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gnadh2007:
Well i am not sure of them, But looks like SBH52 is good as it features both music and loudspeaker

You can use it as a mini size phone and mp3 player, but its costlier

RocketFish actually makes pretty good bluetooth headsets. I'm using the RF-MAB2 on my Ray, works like a charm. battery life can last for days (if you don't use them constantly.) They also have these nifty bluetooth speakers that look like a case for sun glasses. the RF-SPX15. Funny thing is that you can answer calls with the speaker. Sound quality is actually nice. and with the RF-SPX15 (Speakers) unlike other portable speakers, they have pretty good bass. The Headset has its own equalizer too!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanonymoushuman:
It is fairly easy to change the battery, I had to change mine my self because I already replaced the screen my self, and Google doesn't accept a phone if you took it apart. The problem here is that I am not sure if its your battery that has the problem. Mine was expanded, so the glass back was somewhat bent and not flat. Do you have that problem? You might have a problem with the USB or the battery. When I had my battery problem my phone was charged at 100% and when unplugged it would die at about 80% and then when I plugged it back in I would get 30%. Also I almost never got a red light of death except for once and it wasn't due to the problem. I would say you should try doing an RMA, but first try factory images
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
Yeah seems like the usb port and maybe the battery as well got shake because of the drops.

You can open the back cover, look visually at the battery to make sure its not inflated, also disconnect the battery's flex cable and reconnect... See if nothing broke at the usb port (on its board).
