This is indeed the best rom I've used on this device. I did run into some problems though.

Using the previous rom version for a few months, I've noticed that, even though it was really fast and smooth in the beginning, after some time it started lagging increasingly, to the point of not being usable at all after a few months (I couldn't even answer a call cause it wouldn't show up on time). I did clean the cache regularly and I had only the apps I was using installed (I used mounts2sd but I noticed lagging even without it). I have now installed the new version with a clean install and it's lightning fast again, but I'm wondering if it's going to start lagging after a while again. I noticed the same with all roms actually.. Can that be avoided?

Problem number two. After installing the new version (clean install as I said) I cannot play mp3s at all, nor can I use applications that use mp3 audio files.. The ringtones play normally and so does the sound on videos, but when I try to use an mp3 as a ringtone, or when I try to play some mp3 with an application (like Google music or shuttle) or when I try to use an application like duolingo I can hear no sound.. I've tried a clean install twice but nothing changed. I have the latest rom version and gapps minimal x. I also tried both the embedded kernel and dark kernel but it's the same. Any ideas?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
Thanks! Now I know a lot more about how memory works. I'll try lagfix when I notice lagging again ;)

Any ideas on the sound problem I described?

Ah, also the browser has this typical kitkat lag. There's a fix somewhere (I think carbon rom has implemented it). Could that be included in the next version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
The mp3 problem is quite annoying.. Does anyone have a clue?

Edit: mp3s work with mplayer (which uses its own decoder) so the problem definitely has to do with the embedded mp3 decoder of Android. Any clues after that?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nikhildangui:
u tried that app lagfix?? i installed in on my LX CM11 Xperia Neo V and it gives error :( Not Supported :(

fstrim: FSTRIM: Not a typewriter for all 3 , that is /system /data and /cache

But in the end it says Hurray its done....reboot...

is it working or not ?? can anyone plz help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
It says it's not supported in my Neo V either.. It says it could be a kernel problem, so I don't know

Any opinions on that sound problem of mine? It's really frustrating..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neng24:
im using Device Controller.it has fstrim feature.download it from playstore.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikeioannina:
Our devices use MTD storage which doesn't support fstrim. You are wasting your time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neng24:
ooohhh!!!thanks for the information mate:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aliendna51:
Thanks indeed Mike! That explains it. If we're not here to learn we're here for nothing ;)

Any ideas on that mp3 decoding problem of mine??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikeioannina:
I use a build with the latest sources at the moment and don't have issues.

Other people who build from source also haven't noticed issues with MP3 files since a long time.

I really want to release some new builds but I didn't find the time for it yet.

As is in alpha stage better relay on dalvik ... Any how developers working on there apps to support art...!!

[MENTION=5010066]mitchellreece[/MENTION] after ur post i tried art it took almost 15-20 min to boot after this theme provider stopped, dsp manager stopped, process.android.phone, com.android.systemui stopped ... no way to use phone those errors popup continuously :eek:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ErecDeGraal:
It works partially. You can run Link2SD and link apps, but they give FC when you try to use them
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Yeah that's a known problem, I saw it on one of the portal videos too.. ART is still not 100% developed and each app size increases by minimum of 3-6mb.. Switching to ART will therefore eat more space, may be its still not properly integrated in cm sources.. Hence, you faced fc.. :) Did you try it on fresh install? If not do it.. Once you install switch to art and reboot without playing with your phone.. Anyways, atlest you were able to boot up.. :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deccan451:
for now i will stick to dalvik because i tried two times 1st time it booted all apps fc's no way to use mobile again tried this on clean install this time i lost patience waited for 15 min to boot up no progress ... now doing clean installation again :crying: hope art support comes in next versions and no app fc's too :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
I already tried that

Flashed rom switched to art bt rom sticks on cyanogen logo.

Maybe we should use bug tracker or mike already knows it.

And anyhow art is not completely stable on nexus too. We should instead wait. The developer is doing an awesome job and providing with best so far

As i said above. Wait mate. Dont get hyper. Mike is already working on it. So wait and have patience ;)

Atlast we got a stable and a daily to use kitkat rom :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] venoma333:
Hey Mike,

I monitored my phone's system system partition during the Gapps installation and it turns out that even with a flashed MT11i ftf (my system partition is 400MB) it still gets filled up before the installation finishes.

So I advise people to use smaller Gapps if they can find such or cut some things from the zip (I cut the faceunlock things for example.

Keep up the great work, Mike, and thanks for bringing KitKat to our device :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xange:
Everything works great, smooth. Wifi, bluetooth, 3g.... But where is the developer's settings? I mean, the menu where we can enable USB debug?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deccan451:

U

are you sure you want to enable osb? i just enable with 15 pix, the "return" button icon is unusually larger then others, the home and recent app buttons are in the pix, but return button is out of the bar. bug maybe.

try adding this line to build.prop and see if it works. i didn't try yet, because I modify the framework directly using some APKtool. (make a backup build.prop or system backup before you do)

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

the framework itself has osb pix of 42 height, 42 width if i'm not mistaken. if you put that line, the bar will be that thick. but it is set to disable osb by default.

add: i attached a modified framework with enable osb 24 pix both land and port. since I don't know how to make a flashable zip, you have to replace it using file explorer (copy to system folder, rename to framework-res.apk, give permission rw-r--r--, then cut and paste into framework folder and replace it and give a reboot). {make sure you have enough space to do so, even though i compressed the apk to 6mb}

good luck.

Plz don't download the attachment, the file is corrupted, I will upload again tomorrow.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pearler68:

4. In some areas, there is Leg

5. Microphone record is Very Weak

6.Hang up the music when the screen is locked and Unlock

Hoping to get better ;)

TANX
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
Not very fast? For me is smoother than latests 4.2 or 4.3 and apps opens faster. No detected lag except in stock browser, as reported. It's a much better first release than expected.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pearler68:
To start a good speed this Rom !!!

Exactly . It's a much better first release than expected.

But it can be much better than this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mehrdad32:
Antutu Benchmark shows this ROM is more like 4.3! :|

Just GPU improved from 1500 point to 1600! All are same!

And there aren't system option in setting, Keypad lights glow more! (I know how to turn off or reduce it...)

Free memory for me are less than 100 MB in neo (Stock Neo V .587 flashed)

And some problem that said before me, Except this thing that I said all like WiFi, BT, Camera And... work well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] soulpower11:
Having problem with the physical camera button .. it doesn't open the camera app when I pressed it and app in folder are lost when reboot

but overall this alpha rom is smooth
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cardose:
thanks for your good job but you mentioned 6.22 mb for systemframework-res.apk but the download return 1.62mb and file is corrupt.:cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mEREHAIGE:
i am having trouble with quick settings network mode toggle (3g/2G). sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't, even if changing from settings directly it doesn't switch every time. not a big bug but as 2G is much more battery friendly i have used to stay in 2g and use 3g only if i want to use some data excessive apps. otherwise very good for alpha release and be waiting forward for the real one. keep up the good work!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dan15:
I'm facing a lot of issues :

- Link2sd doesn't allow to link apk to the SD (i'm in ext4). I can link cache and lib, but not apk, so there'snt interest.

- Launcher3 loses the settings : three times since yesterday, my home panel is blanked...

- it's not possible to put contact widget directly from the contact app ; only usable by the widget settings.

- afterset the airplane mode, i need to reboot in order to re active the 3G (one time)

nevertheless, this Rom is very smooth and fast, and with a good RAM level.

I continue to test

PS : i'm on NEO
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Some amazing battery stats i got with alpha release...

Again i would say wonderful work mike.:thumbup:

I will upload the framework with 24pix Osb tomorrow again.

Add: mike, there is a bug playing music with high bit rate. 192 or 256kbps and above. Turn off screen while playing music and unlock screen also will cause the sound "gone mad" (pardon me, I don't know how to describe that sound). Try to record that sound if I can.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] venoma333:
For the people losing their settings between reboots :

Check how much free space you have on /system and if there is none, free some.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
yes i have same problem with music
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
The ROM is smooth enough for daily use. Good ram management and fast.

Only facing some issues -

1. Link2sd : app linked to secondary partition always force closes.

2. Music : a sudden loud music in earphones while locking/unlocking the device. (Solved by lurning off lock sound.)

3. Browser : so weired that no browser is performing well. Tried stock, UC, opera, chrome.

Other than that.... ROM is pretty fine for an alpha build. Battery seems pretty fine also.

PS. Can anybody tell me why there is no option to add Google now to the launcher. (Solved Added Google Launcher)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DarkStryder:
To solve the music distortions when locking screen, turn of lockscreen sound in settings! :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xange:
bug spotted in camera app. scene mode: mode's caption is wrong, disable show "night", action show "none" and night show "action" .

To those who want to enable osb, this is the link to download flashable zip (ya, i search around xda and learn myself to make 1 :cool: ).

OSB 24 pix enable at portrait and landscape. - http://d-h.st/Fpy

Ops, i accidently enabled all way rotation, i suppose i made this for my own use. :p

There is another way enable OSB without flashing the zip above, adding this line to build.prop

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

but the default OSB pix provided in original framework is 48pix which is very thick.

So if you want a smaller pix, download the zip at above link. :cool:

additional: If you want to make your systemui transparent (including OSB), change the following line:

ro.config.low_ram=true

to

ro.config.low_ram = false

-wifi problem

-battery life

both are solved.

also system is fast and responsive..just some minor problems..like lag in defaut browser,no problem with chrome..

did you free some space in system partition? the whole KK rom and lite gapps provided by mike takes 399.5MB of system partition (practically you can't flash anything more with that space left [ 0.5MB? ] ) I advice to delete apps that you don't rely on them very much.

things i deleted to get 75MB free space in system partition currently are: unused sounds from notification, ringtones, alarms in system/media, google tts, pico tts ( include pico tts folder at system) , facelock.apk (include pittpatt in vendor), latinIME(original kb from this rom), and i used my own modified compressed framework(from 12 mb to 6 mb). Planning to delete stock browser and chromium.so in lib folder too since stock browser is too lag to be use (to be replace by chrome, install as system?)
