The AROMA you were saying was v1. Try v3. The AROMA is Fixed. In build.prop. Yeah. There's SuperCharge v6. So, Is it really need to connect to init.d?

[MENTION=5219465]zivalarasa[/MENTION]

The ROM is DEBLOATED. The Stock ICS ROM has full of Bloatwares. So, When you flash the ROM without AROMA Installer, Without Bloatware Remover in it. Just the ROM and Debloated. So, your ROM is Full of Bloatwares then. Coz you don't have Bloatware Remover. Make Sense. People. I won't Remove What you say. It's Because the Xperia Z1 Experience will Decrease. If you want to Remove it. You can Remove it. Using Root Explorer with Root Access.

REMEMBER for All Users of this ROM!! Just HELP Yourself out for this ROM. Coz This ROM is Full Xperia Z1 Experience. If you want to remove it. Just Remove it. Just Ask me what is the name of the APK.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gugozaa:
can you teach me spec by spec sir ?

i use MW600 (stereo bluetooth from sony ericsson) and MS430 (portable speaker from sony ericsson)

sorry for bad camera and low light link: http://youtu.be/5MnomOFKya0

i download [Xperia]AC!DAudioEnginev8.0.zip and install it trought CWM but nothing change and i can't disable Acid in application setting

sorry i'm not good in english
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5570333]gugozaa[/MENTION]

Compare the Acid v8 to the ROM. Delete the files in the ROM that has in the Acid v8. I don't use bluetooth speaker. :/ I don't know how to use it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spives:
I have look into it though the acid v8 contains many files and folders.or it was just the system/app should be deleted?. It contains framework and lib files. Can we just have the acid as an addon for the next release? Though ofcourse it still your decision. Anyway thanks for your hard work :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
Brother From the power menu reboot into recovery doesnot work.

I have absolutely no problems now. I wish the next version kills all the bugs u mentioned on page 1 So more and more people download it.

I am using greenify with this ROM and the battery and performance has dramatically increased.

A big thanks brother.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5219465]zivalarasa[/MENTION]

What CWM Recovery you use?

[MENTION=5056764]Spives[/MENTION]

Yeah. I'll do that. Well, in Acid Audio I just want the "Clear Audio+" and "Clear Phase". And It has more improvement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spives:
Well thanks if u will just make the ac!d as an addon. Now im excted on the next update. Oh though your right about the acid sound quality I just dont want my speaker to not work. :( thanks again! :D:D:D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
Yes brother I use CWM recovery for Locked Bootloader.

Also brother Please add TORCH, reboot (and reboot in recovery) and shut down in toggles.

and Auto-rotate of main screen.

Also bro if we remove movies from AROMA, album and walkman also get removed. Is there a possibility that only MOVIES can be removed.?.

1 last thing, while flashing rom we get three options like debloating and ad free experience and one more option but I only used debloating. Is there a possibility that you add other two options in AROMA?

waiting for a comprehensive answer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5219465]zivalarasa[/MENTION]

Bro, you're NOT the ONLY ONE who was Using this ROM. As I said just Help yourself OUT. You have to many Requests. :/ I just want you to report bugs or make a Better Feedback of the ROM. About the CWM Recovery. Maybe the Option "Recovery" doesn't work on Locked Bootloader.

And for the Movies app to be Deleted. If you're using Root Explorer just Open it and Access the "system/app". delete the "SemcVideo.apk"

[MENTION=5056764]Spives[/MENTION]

Press thanks instead of saying it. ;) I'm to fix the Audio MOD now. I'm asking other Dev how to add the Clear audio+ and Clear phase
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spives:
Hahaa I always press that button dont worry :) I hope that all will work out. And about zivalarasa yep he can just remove those manually or why not trying to unlock his bootloader?. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5056764]Spives[/MENTION]

Yeah. I agree bro. Just wait for the Next Update. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
Brother I just want you to make it even a better ROM. I wont be telling u much now
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5219465]zivalarasa[/MENTION]

Just install the ROM for your own Risk. :/ You're Locked Bootloader. If you want a Better ROM for youself you can MOD or Make a New ROM for yourself. I'm just Sharing what ROM I have. Please don't make any Requests or Suggestion. You're complaining about for installing the ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
OK brother No more suggestions. But shall we expect a version 4 that has a major update
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spives:
Waiting for this :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deichz:
why dont you make your own rom? and make it better than this ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
Ok. Thats a remark. Now I am gonna make an ICS ROM that is extremely light weight, battery friendly, brilliant UI, and full of performance. Just wait and watch.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gugozaa:

Flashed version 3:

Debloating in AROMA is not working: all the things i deleted in aroma are still there in the rom.

Some shortcuts make Home launcher to crash.

... and it would be nice to have torch shortcut in statusbar :)

Othervise, great ROM. probably stick to it for some time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
Bro dont giv suggestions. Make ur own . hahahahAh. this was the reply which i got when i said the developer abt torch.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5219465]zivalarasa[/MENTION]

Adding Torch in Statusbar is not Easy as you think. You're just making a Suggestions that didn't Related to the Xperia Z1. I'm working on Full Xperia Z1 eXperience. Not just adding some other MODs. But, I'll try just to add it via "Add-ons" OKAY? If you just gonna Post "Make your own". Just ignore the Others opinion that's out of the Discussion.

[MENTION=3387115]stalvekio[/MENTION]

Flashed the V3? The Cleaner didn't work for you? The "Liveware manager" is not Working. And Just that. I Added the Latest Liveware manager in the ROM. If the Clearner Didn't work please Use the SpeedyDroid v3. That's for ICS. by Divaksh.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zivalarasa:
[MENTION=616412]Jere[/MENTION]Narfil24

I thought adding torch is an easy stuff. Making ROM is no easy thing. Anyways bro ur ROM is best of the best ROM i have ever come across. its very fast and stable after almost 15 days of work. Nice job. FULL z1 experience wud b great. And I think adding Kitkat mods will be great
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jereMarfil24:
[MENTION=5219465]zivalarasa[/MENTION]

Hey all, I've just noticed this rom. Can anyone tell me if this is CM based?

I've been using the FireDroid rom ever since I got my sola over a year ago. The reason I like it is because it is light, debloated and more importantly CM based (can't live without CM ;p). So can anyone tell is this rom with my while? FireDroid has been pretty reliable but I am willing to give this a go as long as it is CM based.

P.S. I hate being on a locked bootloader Sola :(

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deliz:
Hey!

I just wanted to say that this rom is ROCKING my Sola as never before! Incredible multitasking and last android. Chrome is an incredible browser in the right system, indeed. No need for Facebook/Gmail apps.

Only issue is localization, cause it can't locate me just using the mobile/wi-fi networks (but thats kinda good, tho), so it tooks a couple of minutes to your GPS get your real location (and drain a little of your battery :p).

I reccomend to everyone! :good:

Got a bootloop issue with an ASUS MeMo Pad 7 HD and I've booted in recovery <3e> to make a backup.

I've got a userdata_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.backup. I tried opening it with a bunch of tools like unyaffs, abe (Android backup extractor), going live on the file using linux tools (open as 7zip, zip, rar, tar, tar.gz, gz, bz2 , mount as iso, ext4 and so on....)

Still no luck :-/

Only clue is that the file seems compressed. During the backup under recovery, it told me 3600MB to backup and the file userdata_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx.backup show only 2.61GB

I did this backup 3 time to ensure there were no corruption during the write process from the pad and did again the same "tests" to open the file...Not better.

If any dev' have any clue of the file format, I'd be glad to help ;)

[MENTION=7212603]killen00[/MENTION] sorry, I assume you have a linux machine (or have access to one). The command is actually all there is to it.

If you don't have a linux machine available, might I suggest one of the many distros of your choice, most of which have LiveCDs which you can run without installing.
