DECEMBER 19: HONAMI CAMERA UPDATE. HONAMI CAMERA ! Nozomi Pure Black Ultimate Privacy UB/LB

December 19. Honami Camera Update+.

From now on, you will have 2 options: 1. Start camera with hardware key and you will have Superior Auto working; 2. Start camera with camera icon and you will have Manual mode with all settings available. All other updates are in. If you are coming from my earlier version, just flash this on top without wiping. If anew, mount System/Cache/Data and format each.

Update: Added CPU Control and SMS Counter in Settings. See post #179 for attachment and picture. Just flash in CWM and reboot

After battling with the Hell of smalis for 2 days and changing icons, finally success! Oprah helped me because she'd heard so many complaints from you. :)

Here is confirmed working zip (black panel/white icons) to flash in CWM. Don't wipe anything, but dalvik cache.

See post #170 for Finale. I have changed icons in framework-res.apk. This is highly experimental, but no risk to user as they can always return to the previous version via CWM

_________________________________________________________________________________

See post #167 for another attempt to fix smalis at black volume panel

__________________________________________________________________________________________

And here is the final try3 for black volume control. If it doesn't work, just flash the previous one in CWM.

Here is black volume control try 2. Back up your rom and flash the zip in CWM. Do not wipe anything but dalvik cache.

Keep in mind that I do not own Xperia S, so I can't check the mode myself. It should work, but if it doesn't, just use JJwrongJJ's ZU framework V4 for XS. You'll just have to live with white panel. And if you don't like it, complain to Oprah...

WIFI update posted.

As we know out device supports wifi dual frequency bands. However, this option is not enabled out of the box. Here is the fix. Just flash it in CWM without data/factory reset. From now on, you will have an option for wifi frequency bands in settings/wifi/advanced. Enjoy and don't forget that Thank You button.

November 5: Honami Camera is here. No other changes.

Camera: Superior Auto doesn't work, photo image stabilization doesn't work, 2mp resolution doesn't work. The rest is working.

I

Credit to Niabok79 and myself, since our versions are slightly different in that in his when you touch Superior Auto and the camera f/c, you need to do re-initialization described below in steps 1-4 to have it work again. In this rom, when camera f/c, all you need to do is restart the camera by pressing camera button. But again, credit for most work goes to Niabok79 and we have shared our files.

Keep in mind that the original camera is separate and works 100%.

Instructions for initial start:

1. Put camera widgets on your home screen

2. Press the dianosaur button

3. Press the dinosaur button again in the bottom left

4. Choose Manual mode.

Don't touch SA, photo stabilization or 2mp -- otherwise you will get a f/c. If that happens, just exit and restart camera as usual (press camera button)

November 4: ROM UPDATED

Fixed META-INF script

Fixed Keyboard F/C

Added File Manager

Although, I always prefer clean installation, if you are coming from my original release, it should be OK to just flash the update in CWM.

If you are coming from a different rom, you need to go to Mounts and Storage, Mount System, Cache, Data and format each

3. Enter recovery, mount System, Cache, Data and Format each

4. Flash the rom

5. Fix permissions (optional, but wouldn't hurt)

6. Reboot and let the rom settle
