ABOUT OTA :

OTA application doesnt flash automatically downloaded update, you must flash downloaded update manually.

OTA Downloader downloads update to Internal Memory/Ota-UPDATER/Downloads. You can find the file there, if you get update.

Flash them it!​

TIPS :

For more battery life, dont install(or remove) Google Play Services which named is GMSCore.apk. It's need for Hangouts , Youtube and some applications. You can remove it with like Titanium Backup programs. You wont lose your Google Contacts Sync or Google Play.

!!! NOT GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK !!!

Greenify is the best program like Stamina Mode. You can try it.​

RECOVERY :

You'll have CWM to second recovery when you flashed this rom. You all know, TWRP isn't stable yet and we need this.

When phone booting, PINK led appear, wait.. When PINK led gone, BLUE Led appear with vibration.

Press volume (+ or -) when BLUE led appear for enter CWM Recovery.​

I GOT BOOTLOOP AFTER FLASHING ROM :

This mean, you did something wrong.

Wipe Data - Format System three time for be sure.

If not work, maybe you arent on .211 based firmware.

Try;

1) First flash stock 6.2.B.0.211.ftf Download : http://d-h.st/sSI

Note : You can use for flashing "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde"

2) Root and install recovery.

3) Download and copy this rom to your phone

4) Enter Recovery

5) Wipe Data / Format System

6) Mount System Manually

7) Flash this Rom

-If problem continues, check md5sums.​

FOR DEVELOPERS :

In that rom some mods/ports belong to me and created for ZperiaION. You can not use it directly in your projects. Please before talk with me, i will happy for that. And you can use after ask me.​

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spyroo:
works perfectly ! thanks for your work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LaceeWearsPrada:

If this isn't using custom kernel then it isn't for unlocked bootloader only :) and OP says flash .211 with flashtool so it's using sony's kernel. then it's working on Locked Bootloader :) just sayin

(if you listen to me, rename the thread [UB] -> [LB&UB] )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Thanks for all nice comments.

There isn't a problem with 2g connections.

And [MENTION=4667875]LaceeWearsPrada[/MENTION] , i used [MENTION=3507070]ganeshbiyer[/MENTION] kernel for " kernel based init.d support " .

Update Patch for 1.2 has been released, copy it phone, flash and wipe dalvik.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
locked bootloader is a success. Strange thing happened though, after flashing the ROM it automatically rebooted. This ROM has alot of init.d scripts, but it's smoking fast and smooth. The build prop is very detailed, I appreciate that. I'll keep testing, then I'm going back to miui to apply some of these tweaks and build prop entries. Cool!

Not a big deal...love this rom wich is the bettter i've tried around...clean & fast
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lonelykite:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Thanks for the Update Bro :good:. Awesome as always :laugh:. I will update mine from 3.5 to 4 soon after i reach back home.

But mean while can you do something for me.:confused:

I dont know if this is happening just for me .

1) My Ring Volume is Very low. Low that before. If you can tweak something,it would be great help. I know the Hardware limitation on Ion.

2) If you can add something , try to add Full Screen Caller Image.

3) And the New Walkman app. Walkman sound too low while using headphones.

4) LED Control If possible.

Earlier i was using Aoba Pure Black Ultimate Privacy.

The Ring Volume and Walkman volume was better in that.

:(

Im having issues with this. Please help me. Rest all fine & im loving it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Just installed 4.0 by doing the OTA update from 3.5. Looking good so far... no issues.

Just a general request: the Phone Dialer app takes 4-5 seconds to load.. I have noticed this to be the case in all other ROM's too, not just yours. I just want to request if you can play around with it to make it load faster. So far, the only one that has super fast phone dialer app is the MIUI in my experience.

Thanks for the update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
Wipe?

I asked this once before and you said it depends so im asking again.

I am on your 3.5

you have released 4.0

do i have to do a wipe of system/data or can i just wipe cache and dalivk and install the rom?

EDIT

According to imm1304, you can just wipe cache and dalvik.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Just wipe the cache, no need to format the system this time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Thanks for comments/feedbacks.

Please leave your feedback like that and i will look it what can i do on next updates..

Thanks for the developer
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tindean:

towards a how to? thanks much. looking forward to next update. peace
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Thanks to you..

Xperia Home doesnt able to rename folders now. if only new Xperia Home applications have "rename folder" option, it'll be on rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tindean:

I'm sorry Zorbeyd.

VOL+ bug

Hi after I've installed this ROM everything was perfect until today the vol+ doesn't work unless I reboot the phone

Is there any fix for it

:( :( :(

THNX
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lonelykite:
It does happens some times but not regularly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Hello dear imm1304,

Phone dialer can be lock on memory, but i can not recommend that. It takes your ram and drains battery.

Hello dear saif_breamni

I have never get problem like that, for understand the problem i need faced to with this problem.

When this problem starts?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saif_breamni:
It starts randomly

By the way it happened only twice since I've installed the ROM
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Update arrives :)

- Small changelog for small update. But more battery!

- Much more battery with corrected values power_profile.xml

- Users didnt liked K-9 Mail , replaced with stock one

- more free ram with debloat

---------------------

-- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache

---------------------

-- If you use OTA , dont forget flash it manually.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lonelykite:
Sir update working fine but the only thing I find is that the battery is draining quickly compared to v4.0

Then too I am waiting for the ROM to settle down. Let's see......

If so plz look into the matter

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Hi, the battery seems fine for my phone.. overnight (10 hours) it only drained 5-6%.

However, phone felt slower than usual this morning. Just did a reboot and hoping that would fix the sluggishness.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Hello dear lonelykite,

There is a program on Google Play, which named " WakeLockDedector"

Can you download it, and say to me which apps causes to Break Deep Sleep?

Thanks you.

Thanks you imm1304,

Which process give you slow experience?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Hi dear Zorbeyd , it was contacts.apk that gave the message: taking too long to respond, do u want to close it or wait. This happened twice and the mail app was also lagging.

But, after I rebooted, its working normal again. Thanks for your response. I will let you know if this happens again.

Soft Brick Caused

Soft Brick [MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION]

Phone: Xperia Ion ATT Locked Bootloader

Problem: My phone has stopped giving any response what so ever to me.

1) My phone was working when I woke up as i turned off the Alarm and responded to a text.

2) I check 10 minutes later and my phone is not responding at all, no screen, no vibration, no response when plugged into PC and i am not able to do a force shut down by holding down the volume and power buttons for 30 seconds. Battery Was at 90%

This happened about two days after I flashed the 4.5 Update. Im not sure what caused it specifically. Overall only three mods were done post installation.

1) Xposed Framework

2) Viper Sound Mod

3) December 13 Sony Media Apps (except for walkman because the walkman app crashe)

All three of said mods worked since i first began using your Rom at the 1.0 Stage (an avid fan to say the least haha)

Im just wondering if you could check what may have caused these issues for they have just caused the inconvenience of a soft brick. thank you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Hello dear [MENTION=3705784]424aca[/MENTION] ,

Firstly thanks you for using ZperiaION and giving report about it.

Did you get this problem for one time? Is that fixed after reboot? (I understand you couldnt to manual reset, if its like that what happend fully dropped battery and after you charged and opened your phone)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tindean:
424, still bricked? it is vol+ and power? it only takes ten min to pull battery ,(yes really)

and then MAYBE you can flash kernal or see if that resets phone to at least soft bootloop

don't think its the ROM itself , and try attaching the phone with flashtool open

see if it even sees a device or try same with device manager open,

what o/s?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:

[MENTION=5189552]tindean[/MENTION]

Phone is dead and no longer of any use. I asked for help in the Q & A and a user did attempt to help by telling me to wrap rubber bands around so the three buttons would be pressed down. What he failed to mention however until later and until it was too late was that

"45mins should usualy do it

If not then you will kill your battery and you may not be able to recover"

Well he told me this too late and yes i have gotten the Blinking Red LED but its been "charging" for the last 6 hours. I have un softbricked my phone over 6 times from testing unstable roms for this phone from the beginning of this phones thread. I have concluded from previous attempts that my battery is in fact, dead. I have no upgrades so :( i guess ill just have to wait till i am eligible for a damn upgrade.

Anyway thanks Zorbeyd for this insanely amazing rom although i do regret messing with it and it crashing on me but regardless its a brilliant rom but please do check and make sure i am an isolated case and that this doesnt happen to other users. And damn good bye to this phone :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
I've had this happen, you need to take the phone apart and remove the ribbon from the battery for a minute then reassemble. After that plug it in to a good charger and wait awhile, you probably know the rest.

I've thought it was all over before, then I recovered from it. Hope all goes well!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Yes, [MENTION=3705784]424aca[/MENTION] , [MENTION=3701903]Bugly Astard[/MENTION] says right.

If you get Red Led, your phone will continue to work, no stress and hopeless.

Use rubber trick for flashmode, as you can see it on xperia brick threads. If you wont do, we're ready to help you.

Waiting your reports..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
Rubber trick isn't fail proof, that's why we are over populated. I suggest learning how to "disassemble" , short circuit got you? (johnny 5 joke). Get that piece of electronic ******ry apart and pull the damn ribbon. Its worked for me 3 times, but if you're not comfortable with taking apart your precious state-of-the-art Ion, then try other methods, don't give up you poop smuggler. ?

Sent from my SeXperia Ion
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Im so happy for this solve, Xperia Ion threads have a lot of good people who tries to help others.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] seymur993:
So, on this rom the battery indicator goes bananas, when fully charged, 100% will be there for couple of hours, then will start to drain as crazy, then the phone will turn off, then you start to charge it and the indicator shows 1% constantly.. And i gotta say that theres an app "my xperia" wich drains twice more battery than screen

Please delete " /system/app/MyXperia.apk" You wont get problem anymore.

As far as I understand you should delete google search from system apps, task manager and clockq. then battery life will be good :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] seymur993:
thats kinda weird, coz as the app says, my phone was up for ~70% of 18 hours time period, and those apps like "google search" were up for like couple of minutes all together. And "Google search" app doesnt act like battery eater in other roms. So im not sure if their deletion will give positive results:confused:.

Downloading the Rom.. Couple of questions :

1. Is it needed to install the other updates one by one? Or installing the latest one is enough?

2. Cyber-shot from Rizal Loven's works? If so, from which xperia model?

Trouble! Trouble! Trouble!

I always welcome new roms and you can see that I was among the first ones to congratulate and thank the guy. However, once I downloaded the rom, I noticed several disturbing things, which led me to conclude that the guy used a bunch of applications from my Aoba Pureblack Rom including highly customized Settings app as well as several others. It took days for me to make changes (or create completely new entries) in the code to make Aoba PureBlack what it is today. It also took considerable time to make photoshop changes in some icons. I have clear and convincing proof that those apps are mine: number of entries/strings/headers, id numbers and their place in the files.

I certainly did not give permission to anyone to use my customized applications and by the way, the guy never even asked me for permission. He says he used my ideas. Well, ideas are fine, but actual applications are NOT.

TO ALL DEVELOPERS: Please respect the rules of this forum and don't use my work in your roms without first obtaining my permission.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
oh [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] , you're always welcome to me.. For that a pm was enough.

But with new version, settings has been changed, as you can see on the screenshots.

And dont forget, you arent the founder of this led/cpu/sms controls.

The main threat is : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2122258 and i dont need to get permission to you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Read the rules: you should first ask permission, then get it and then make changes to the apps customized by someone else. You didn't take deodexed stock settings and make changes, you took my applications (without my permission) and made changes. That is specifically prohibited by forum rules. Did you create entries for Dock, SMS control, Led control and others? Did you set strings and (other staff) to have rom maker's name? No, you didn't. I did all that. You just deleted my name and entered yours. Did you do work on Notewidget in photoshop to make it black? No, you didn't. I did that. There were a lot of other changes I made. Stock settings app is about 5mb size. Mine is over 11mb.

Bad start for you...
