Would anyone please be kind enough to extract for me the boot.img of this ROM and tag me in their post?

Downloading the entire zip for that doesn't really work for me, so, anyone, please?

If no other option, alpha0 will work just as fine.

(or if anyone knows the correct mkelf.py command for the kernel, that's even better)
[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION], your genius-ness, what did you use?

I can't really believe that but I just saw it after installing this app. But, was it really off, or just this app reported that it was off?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
[MENTION=4782139]piyush95[/MENTION]: that's probably just the battery not being accustomed to the ROM (or vice-versa). A few charges will make that charge time longer, I guarantee it :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
It is fast ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Brontok:
it`s not off..it shows that because it`s not being used at that moment, and you will find the same thing in every rom..wait for few seconds, open something in the background and you`ll see that works
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
When I manually turned it on it stays at 192MHz at idle, not "off". And we're talking about first core, not second.

Anyways, when I ran RR3, and went back to app first core still was off, until I changed it, then outside of game it was working at ~1000MHz. Interactive governor, second core set to ondemand.

When i turn off phone, then it doesn't reboot. why???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Brontok:
I`ve just checked it.. mine was also set to offline but the frequency kept jumping on both cores..

btw someone said that art can be enabled, is that true, can i just enable it by default, or I need to do some tweaking before that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
This kernel is weird... :I

Enabling 3D OC leaves the 2D chip disabled, but disabling 3D OC, all is back in place... Maybe some more kernel tweaking will do the trick... *wink, wink*

Also, HTML5 support is really bad compared to 4.2. Is it KitKat's fault, is it because it's alpha or am I doing something wrong? (Try Vellamo from Play store. 4.2 got over 1800, KK gets barely over 1000 on HTML5...)

SONY RELEASED AOSP 4.4.1 FOR XPERIA S :eek:

http://m.androidauthority.com/sony-aosp-source-kitkat-324270/

What a Christmas present :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ^Reloaded^:
4.4

i am looking forward better to wait the sources needs to get updated ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
This has already been debated.

When, and IF anything is to happen with Sony pushing any update to Nozomi, you'd see it a few weeks earlier on the phone's GitHub page (https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-lt26).

Last commit was 4 months ago, and I fear it's going to stay at that. Until next month, it'll be 5 months then...

Sony's site does not mention any phone but the L getting the AOSP update, though I believe most S4 and newer phones are eligible.

Guys for the last time : IT'S FOR THE XPERIA L

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mr-tical:
Guys i tried today this KK and tried send MMS but without succes. It sends only if i enable data manually. It should be on automaticaly while sending/receiving MMS.

And another thing, if i uninstall with TB system apps like Gmail, G+ etc, after reboot they are back. Is it KK issue or TB? And i tried more by deleting they with Solid Explorer, again without succes, SU shows up, accepted and while deleting files from system/app and system/priv-app there is info that this partition is read-only. With free Root Browser deleting files was succes. Lot of incopatibilities yet.....but all in all the speed and overall feelings using this is very very positive.

update superuser and the su binary and it's ok :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fundoozzz:
Well I thought android authority was credible enough to believe..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
I guess that is true.. Since Xperia L is the first to get, since its the newest amongst other devices mentioned.. Xperia Z, ZL is also among the list apart from SXS.. So probably builds(device trees) aren't ready yet for other devices.. They will probably update it sooner or later, if it is true.. Lets see.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
If deleting was possible with Root Browser, it's obviously an app problem. By default, system is mounted as read only as a security precaution. And isn't it a bit odd to install Gapps and then delete part of them? Why didn't you delete those apps from the zip before flashing?

Well their only source is a link to the "AOSP for Xperia devices" page, I think they just jumped to conclusions when seeing all those devices there. But in reality most of those haven't seen an update on their Github in over 6 months. I can't find any credible source anywhere promising more binaries and Github updates for other devices. The XDA portal went with the story as well, I don't know who started all of this (percy_g2 they say), but in my opinion there's no reason to believe any update is coming for the other phones in that list.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mr-tical:
Hey, of course i know i can delete some Google apps from zip but flashing them was quicker and i wass little hurry with installing and configure this KK.

And for the clarity i dont write this because im mad or something like that on this build, im very happy for this how it works but i just wanted to write this issue and ask is this an app problem or this build. Thats all :)

I'm using Solid Explorer for root browsing and I can modify files on system partition without any problem.

Anyone using this rom...

can u send files using SuperBeam(latest ver) via Wifi Direct...?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] project2:
Using alpha 1 since yesterday. I havnt tried much, but battery lasts much longer in standby with wifi on than stock .96. Good job!!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Finally flashed Alpha 1.. Smoother than before and launcher looks a bit new.. Video recording works fine, except when i press the record button, it takes up a couple of seconds to start recording, but works fine later like stock.. But while recording, it lags a bit.. Stock Gallery doesn't play recorded videos.. Not even any other player.. VLC, PowerAmp and lot others.. Didn't work for me.. Gives reboots.. It boots a lot faster and also charges immensely fast.. When rebooted in the middle of any Play Store app getting updated, it resumes after reboot which i missed in Stock.. KitKat Alpha 1 is awesome.. Hope to see if Sony gives any sources so we can get a Stable ROM soon.. There are gonna be some exciting weeks to come.. :D

Will be back with more testing.. ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kefir.net:
RaymanFX, can you add some more CPU governors (smartassv2, intellidemand???) and I/O shedulers (SIO) in future versions?

As well as lower undervolting values..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Maybe.

Why don't you do it yourself though, you're a recognized developer and my kernel source is up-to-date.

I'm drastically lacking time for little things like that..

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
The only reason to use ART at this point is bragging rights. There are no performance or battery benefits and every app you run is at risk of FCing. Just stick to Dalvik until ART is finished. In my opinion getting ART running in KitKat is hardly development and shouldn't be discussed here, go to the discussion thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2571966 (my thanks to the guy who started it).

You have to realize that these questions about ART (and navigation bar, and voip, and music/video playback) have come along several times in the past 50 pages and it's a bit frustrating as a subscriber to this thread to see them every single time again. Makes me wonder if I can't just subscribe to Rayman's posts instead of the whole thread.
