Its quite simple... because its beta on unofficially supported hardware. :D

Maybe you should try the 3.2 BETA by GreatGreek, some kernel issues were fixed....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2555243&page=135

Clean flash!!!!

I'm giving it a try with the hope to fix some random issues probably related to this...

Does cell standby still drain battery in beta 3.2?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Quite difficult to tell after 0 minutes on battery and using this ROM for about 1 hour in total... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
OK, anyone on Beta 3.2 already? What's your impression? Looks quite good, at least nothing is totally messed up, but I'm having one issue at least.

While recharging, the phone does not update the charge level, so it stays on - lets say - 59% forever. After rebooting, the current charge level is shown. Haven't figured out yet if it still changes the status LED from orange to green when it goes beyond 90 (?) percent or if it stops to charge at all.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] geraldbarros:
the battery drain very fast
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
Anyone noticed Rayman changed his signature? It only says Nexus 7, Find7 and N1. No Sony Fuji devices... ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
What about charging... does that work as expected?

My phone didn't really update the charge level (got stuck at 83% and remained for 2 hours there before it lost the first percent after unplugging). I'm back on 3.1, though some upstream changes were added to 3.2 (Trebuchet Kitkat launcher, newer file manager, profiles seem to work...)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Try disabling USB debugging before charging, used to have that kind of problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ymagriso:
It does not work.

The charging issue is a serious one.

Once I unplug the phone from the charger, plugging it back will not charge it again until I:

Unplug it.

Perform full shutdown.

Plug it back.

Once the phone is plugged again it will start charging and only then I can turn it back on (it will continue charging).

In addition, I am facing issues with this ROM (Beta 3.0-3.2) reported in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715312 (I would have moved them to this thread if I knew how).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Well, then don't mess app up by moving them here and there. The video bug is known by the developer so it should get iron out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
I'm pretty sure I've tried that, too... if it even wasn't enabled initially.

So, i flashed beta 3.2 without a clean install, i just wiped dalvik and cache. But it works. Its stable, no reboots after flashing, batterylife is better, no reboots in 1080p Videos, and charging works fine also. So tell me, why clean install? I don't get it.

And yeah, sorry for my english.

Send with my NOBODY CARES
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
I think clean flash was recommended to fix the black screen problem in Facebook, instagram and other apps. I can't say if its fixed though because I don't any of those apps :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ymagriso:
I did a "clean" flash (i.e. including factory reset + dalvik/cache clean) and I still face the issue.

And as advised above by bamboohao, the video bug is a known issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Because it might work in the best case, but the other way around you could have any type of unreproducable issues specific for your device, depending on the ROM you were using before... And you won't get proper support because who should know how mixed up binaries, scripts and config files work in your specific case...?

It might work out when coming from the same ROM/Android version (maybe Beta 3.1 works without any flaws).

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Here's my BETA 3.2 follow-up/status report after two days/charges:

Battery life is good (see attached screenshot) - I'm easily around 1,5 days with my current usage. IMHO no significant improvement over earlier builds, but no drain at all. Thats physics, baby. If the phone is idle and on WiFi, it nearly pulls no batttery. On a 100% charge, it went down approx. 1%/hour over night - with Dropbox, Facebook and of course lots of Google services on it. :good:

As far as I can see, CM ringtone/notification profiles now seem to work with the 3.2 version. 3/3.1 did basicially ignore everything that was set up there and always used the system/non-profile-specific defaults. :good:

Performance/responsibility is good: for my feeling, it's a bit better than before, but I've dropped some applications with the 3.2 setup (Firefox Beta instead of Chrome) and I'm using Nova Launcher now because the Kitkat-based Trebuchet doesn't offer an option for a fifth column, which I'd like to have for my homescreen setup (5x4 on 4,3-inch display is hilarious).

There are some glitches, though...

I've had strange artifacts on the lockscreen once after reactivating the device - no idea, how... maybe related to Dashclock? Never occurred on 3.1, but also only once with 3.2 so far.

Sometimes, the OpenSEMC logo occurs on changing applications/launching activities, as if the device would reboot, but it doesn't.

Once, the camera totally stalled my system when opening it the lockscreen swipe-right gesture. It totally lagged and didn't update display output, no chance to get back to the homescreen by hitting home/back buttons. Did require a soft reset to recover - or maybe another 2-3 minutes.

If one of these occurs again, I'm trying to contribute some logs in the DEV thread....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
What do you guys mean by enabling ADB?

I have the option ticked at Developer Options, but it's still not charging. Do you mean something else?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Also, could anyone please explain to me why does almost every ROM for the XS use only 621MB of RAM?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
You'll get your answer here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Any experiences on CPU governor settings, especially for OpenSEMC or in general?

I've switched from the default 'interactive' setting to 'ondemand' and it feels a bit more responsive when switching apps. Just my impression...?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I'm running on ondemand, 384-1674, because if I lower all the way to 192, it takes FOREVER to become responsive after unlocking the phone. 16-bit transparency unchecked, deadline & allow purging of assets checked. I get around 2.5h SOT and the battery lasts from 6AM till around 11PM, eavy WiFi and 3G use.

How does it do with interactive, battery-wise?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
OK, let's see if the mem-purge option has an effect, never took care of that. Sounds helpful.

I've had ondemand enabled for a half a charge so far, but I'm not seeing a significant difference compared to default settings.

Especially with WiFi enabled, it was very battery-saving when being idle. Overnight, it took about 1 to roughly 2 percent per hour, on my usage profile (medium usage, 50/50 Wifi/3G, less than 2 hours SOT) I'm usually getting 1-1 1/2 days.

Looks like its having the same tendency with ondemand. Maybe the impact is higher on heavier usage. I'd say, if it lags less it must be using higher clocks more often....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
To be quite honest, I have no idea whether the memory purge option helps a lot. In fact, my XSL has been lagging often, getting hot even, especially when using location services (for some reason). I really can't wait till the first RC comes out. Or till I get a Moto X (;
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
:D

Ah, that's why you're getting higher clocks in the menu... mine is a plain S with 1,5 GHz max. setting... wouldn't oc it, anyway.

My device had some lags on incoming calls (took 1-2 secs until I could accept them), on switching or in certain apps (it hates Chrome and FF Beta as well as Facebook).

As already stated, the ondemand governor seems to help a bit. On the home screen it's remarkably more fluid than my Nexus 7, but that could be GEL versus Nova.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Well, I'll try out interactive, you try ondemand. I'll report my results in a couple of days, if possible.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Has anyone yet tried the experimental build Rayman released?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
Yep! The phone is noticeably smoother. Didn't test it much though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkLark:
For those experiencing problems with performance and overall responsiveness of the phone, try uninstalling Facebook. You'd be surprised how much difference it makes. The Facebook app is just crap, and takes up too much resources even if you turn sync off for it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Thanks, but that's the same as running a family car without seats and interior parts. It's faster due to a better power-to-weight ratio, but you're always missing something. Except you actually don't need a family car... ;)

Is it the extensive memory usage that comes with its background tasks?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Most likely. If you don't untick some options, it has every notification active and the location services on. It also syncs contacts and calendars... Zuckerberg is so up our asses these days lol

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

I guess I'll wait for the next stable release. As soon as he's got that figured out, the videos will most likely work, and it will probably be a RC by then :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkLark:
Even with ALL notifications and sync turned off. The Facebook app just sucks.

And your analogy with cars is inaccurate, you don't need the Facebook app, you only need it if you actually use Facebook on a regular basis (i.e. posting stuff like "On the toilet, and it stinks", lol)

updating to latest OpenSEMC

hello guys, i already have OpenSEMC of raymanFX, and i want to update to the latest one released a couple of days ago. Can anyone tell me the step by step guide to update it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Like how you would normally flash a ROM

Clear cache, dalvik cache if you want to dirty flash, otherwise do a factory reset for a clean flash

Although, I must remind you that the rayman's build release couple of days ago isn't stable, people had been reporting random reboot and such, proceed with this in mind
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jawadCH:
approximately how much its gonna take until the stable release?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
There won't be any time frame given, and to me stable means no random reboot and a fairly usable phone. If I were you I would stay on the ROM I'm using now until rayman sort out the new kernel, but tried it out if you wish, he just responded and he say he didn't have random reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jawadCH:
m gonna give it a shot & inform u after trying it of what is gonna happen with me. wish me gd luck ;p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 3eb:
Seeing as both the S and SL are running the same chipset (afaik) would it not be beneficial to allow both devices to be clocked to 1.7?

WiFi crash

Hi

I've this problem since update to stock JB .96 when i open wifi it hangs and I've to reboot my device , after installing Rayman's ROM the wifi no longer hangs the phone but it doesn't work what so ever , I've installed wifi fixer but it didn't help

any help will be appreciated
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Mind sharing how you flash rayman's build? There shouldn't be any problem with WiFi, and you shouldn't require any so called WiFi fixer for it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qusai_Air:
[MENTION=5169817]bamboohao[/MENTION] thanks for your help I did a clean installation wiped cashe dalvic and everything .also I've doomlord kernel unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
So you are using doomlord kernel now?

Try using the kernel that came with the ROM, you shouldn't have WiFi problem since there aren't any WiFi problem at all on all ROM that I know of.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
...any further information would be appreciated. You didn't tell us how you installed it, if you used TWRP or CWM, what you wiped or didn't wipe, which build you installed...

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

LOL delete this, my XDA app hadn't loaded the new page with bamboohaos replies
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qusai_Air:
Sorry I didn't give more details

* first i bought my SXS running Stock ICS 4.0.4 (WiFi works fine)

* Upgrade to stock JB 4.1.2 Build ....96 (WiFi isn't working when try to open it hangs and force close settings + to close WiFi I've to reboot

* Rooted my device using (kingo), Unlock bootloader using ADB+Fastboot , installed CWM recovery using GooManager but couldn't boot to recovery so I installed doomlord's kernel

*installed Mokee Custom ROM Kitkat (clean installation wipe partition cache and dalvic cashe etc) Still no WiFi but no hang or crash

* Clean installed Rayman ROM same like above (got TWRP recovery from previous installation ) no WiFi no hang no crash just no network available ,

P.s I've tried hard reset few times and nothing happened
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kyxynox:
I suggest you to use doomlord root and flashtool to unlock bootloader. Try to return to stock and then repeat the steps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Dude, you can follow my tutorial (it's on my signature). The problem you're having could be caused by rooting .96 instead of .211. I'm not sure this is the case, but it's worth trying. Downgrade your kernel to .211, root, then upgrade to .96. And check if you still have the WiFi issue.

If you follow my tutorial you'll end up with CWM, but you can then flash the boot.img from this ROM and you'll get TWRP.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linus207:
Hi all. I have some problems with other roms so i am back on opensemc 3.2 beta. And my favourite battery life came back
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alebol0:
I've been using this rom since the first beta and I'm quite satisfied, is there any reason to switch to paranoid android by deedwar? Any downside?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Thanks for posting in the right thread.

The benefit? More code upstream and newer kernel, the latest kernel support overclocking the gpu up to 320 hz. There are also more feature from the PA team since our device are built by the official build bot. But if you prefer a bugless ROM, then it's probably not for you, the latest build still has the screenshot and recent app thumbnail bug.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mithab:
And here I am barely get over 2 hours with 3G
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
So, what's the verdict? :D

Ondemand rocks... Phone UI is pretty fluid, battery time as before, easily over 1 day, no significant change compared to interactive, imho...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
It felt quite laggy on my side. To be fair, though, my phone is lagging way too much these days. I might need to do a clean flash on it.

Battery life was slightly shorter with interactive in my case.

I went back to ondemand two days after.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
hello. are u using 3.2 by great geek? i've experienced lag before then i've read in other kk rom that removing google now launcher and google search will remove the lag. so i tried it, and yes, the lag is (seemed) gone. so do try removing those two, and you can download google search (and the launcher if you want) from the play store and the lag didnt come back (at least for me).

maybe the google search and launcher always run when they're system apps that makes the phone lag..

now i'm enjoying the 3,2 again :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Yes, he is... ;)

And switching from GEL to Nova adds it a good bunch of responsiveness. I haven't removed Google Search and Now, but it's running well most of the time.

I also removed SwiftKey (which I was using for a long time) because it always took at least a second to show up when entering text, regardless of the underlying application... Hangouts, Firefox, Tapatalk... all the same. I traded in some of its handy features for the responsiveness of the Google Keyboard and it improves the overall performance impression of my devices.

In general, I'd say you might have to avoid resource-heavy apps in the background if you don't need them most of the time. That's not a specific nozomi/OpenSEMC issue, I think everyone with only 1 gig of RAM will come to a certain point where it's just too much and you should rethink your setup - unless you're willing to go for better hardware.

Maybe, the new kernel by Rayman will improved things further, but don't expect miracles when it comes to memory management.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Yeah, Swiftkey was such a pain in the ass. I even lowered my rating for the app in the Play Store, lol. I figured that the option that says Allow purging of assets helps SO MUCH. I had disabled it for some reason, but i re-enabled it and it's back to normal. I also checked the 16-bit transparency option, and maxed the CPU speed. It's not beautiful, but it's a hell of a lot faster.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
No idea what they f**ked up with current versions of SwiftKey, but I think it wasn't significantly worse when I used it back in the days on my Wildfire S... did things go wrong since they added cloud support? No idea, but imho it runs a lot better on my N7/grouper, which has (of course) officially supported hardware... :)

The mem+purge and ondemand governor settings help a lot, especially on app switches/startup, but what does 16-bit transparency - and do you feel a difference? Imho, only Facebook lags on scrolling...

BTW.: I just restarted my device after 300 hours of uptime with no significant issues at all - beside Google Now requiring an app restart - so, 3.2 is rockstable...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
The cloud support hypothesis seems legit.

I have no idea what the 16-bit transparency setting does, performance wise, but I checked that box anyway. I'll change it tomorrow and give you guys an update on full charge, to see if my new settings improve the battery life.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Never mind, my phone is just slow whenever it feels like it. I enabled the transparency settings and disabled them, and results were similar no matter what: SUPER slow after wake up, for about 3 minutes. This might be because of the minimum CPU clock speed, but it's relatively high (384Mhz). Once enabled and after those 3 stupid minutes, however, the phone is really fast with the option ticked vs. when it isn't.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SwitzXXL:
Does setting the wifi country code influence wifi? Maybe channels or wifi strength?

And the second problem is that the photos captured with the camera at 12 mp r shown black photos . Anyone have the same problems and is there any fix for it??? And thnx in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ha.meier:
This is a test build for those who are willing to report problems. You can do this aswell. Send logs of crashes to raymanfx. If he has the time he will fix it and release a more stable build one day.

If you need a more stable build stay with beta 3.2.

Btw., the problems you mentioned I faced too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
As you can see in the Dev thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2555243), the work-in-progess version with the new kernel is far from being ready for daily use... But there's a sign of hope, it seems to be great in terms of performance, but I wouldn't trade that in for missing half a day's calls due to a restart and the device hanging on the PIN confirmation screen...

Beta 3.2 is totally stable and has no issues beside the fact that you have to enable ADB in order to make it charge. Performance is OK, too... At one minute, you can have super-fluid home screen swipes, on the other there are slowdowns in apps and on unlocking.

I would recommend to use this one until the worst issues are sorted out in current development. I'd love to test it, but I need my device as daily driver and therefore it makes no sense for me to test it for a couple of hours and then flashing back the stable version to get through the day. ;)
