Finally decided to unlocked my bootloader today and installed this. It's great :D

[MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] you mentioned 720 MB but I can only see 620 MB of RAM :confused:

Also, can't move apps to Internal/USB Storage like other users have already mentioned. Googled a bit and found that this guy faced similar problem.

Managed to grab the log using DDMS. Hope you will be able to fix it soon :fingers-crossed:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
For folks like me, who are annoyed with the time resetting to 1970 after every reboot this app works like a charm :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Had a 2 random reboots at morning.

And reboot when listening music..after clicking yes or no on volume warning.

Revert back to beta1.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
What. The. Heck.

This is RC1. The Beta before that was, iirc, 7. Why revert to Beta 1!?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
The build before 4.4 RC1 was 4.4 Beta1. The one before that was 4.3 Beta7

The volume warning bug is known issue. Will be fixed in RC2

Also, vary the brightness of illumination bar with display brightness?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
[MENTION=571335]windshearx[/MENTION] Try to grab a log using DDMS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] windshearx:
Thanks for the fast reply but ddms seems too complicated for my skills! Maybe if you have the same ROM can download spotify music and just open it. It will crash as soon as you hit the login/create account screen!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
I won't mind but don't want a factory reset (if needed) :D

I'll briefly explain how to do it

- Make sure you have Java and Android SDK installed.

- Go to the folder where you've installed Android SDK. Open tools folder. And run monitor.bat

- Connect your device in debugging mode. Your device should appear in the top left window.

- In the bottom left window make sure LogCat is selected

- On the right hand side, you'll see a drop down list which shows 'verbose' as default. Click on it and select 'error'

- Now crash the app on your phone. Keep an eye on your PC monitor. You'll notice a group of errors appear together related to the particular app.

- Next to the drop down list you'll see a downward arrow. This will lock the scroll if you wish.

- Now carefully select those lines using Ctrl or Shift select.

- You'll see a floppy disk to the left of scroll lock button. Click on it and choose the destination where you want to save the log.

Hope you manage to do it :p

EDIT: Have you installed GApps? Couple of my apps were crashing strangely. I checked the log and found out that it was because there was no TTS installed. You can also install Pico if you don't like Google.

[MENTION=5444464]PünchUp[/MENTION] Thanks!! this is what I got:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
Guys, I'm not really sure what's going on but it's happening on both my Xperia S and Galaxy S II. While using ART, every reboot takes almost 10 minutes, giving me the message "Android is upgrading...", and it optmizes 50 apps (I have 150 total). I saw in many other threads that ART is supposed to optmize the apps only once, after switching from Dalvik or cleaning the Runtime Cache. This is getting pretty annoying since my XS freezes a lot (Snapchat video issue). And ART is just too awesome for me to give up on it :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Well it's not happening on mine, do you have some app that clear cache on reboot or something? And is it a clean flash?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
No, I don't have any apps of that sort.. I'm also using Micro Modular Gapps. Which are you using? Maybe it's a Gapps issue? Because the android only optimizes 30-50 apps.

Yes.. it's a clean flash, did a factory reset, wiped /system /cache /dalvik and flashed it.

I'll try to wipe everything now, including sdcard. Will let only my backups.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Hmm usually these crashes show 'EXCEPTION'. But I guess you've caught the error.

That last line is the one I think. It's probably the same error that prevents apps from being moved to SD card. Some problem with /Data folder

deedwar shall know better :)

Well ART is highly experimental. :D And whatsapp doesn't even support it. I'm sure there are many other apps
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lpossari:
I'm using RC1 and when I make a call my screen turn off and don't wake up until finish the call :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
[MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] any luck with the data folder bug? I'm running out of space :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
So this is it? Since it's not supported it has to re-optmize every boot?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
All i can say is loose some friends mate. LOL i will look into it. I have been very busy with another kind of ROM and i just released it although i had to find a quick fix for this ROM as they changed the sources and im not sure if we missed out on the release cycle this week because of it. At any rate i will look into this kernel a bit more now as it is really kernel related.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Lol :D Thanks

And please do fix the data folder bug soon. It seems to be the cause of many problems.

Would Radio be possible on this ROM like AOSP by Billchen?

Also, would you be able to do something for the illumination bar please? I really miss it :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
can u elaborate....

which kind of rom and will it available for xperia s.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
He has released Pure AOSP for Acro S based on billchen's ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
That is right. Myself and Apology have been cooking it up for a while now. Ironing out some of the more user friendly details. But mostly it is Apology's doing he is way more organised then myself.

I will be playing around with alot more of the kernel related extras, and a few of the features but hopefully overtime you will see something alot more polished. But not the same as PA.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fer2503:
We have also the problem of video's end on Facebook And The screenshot bug. Also aometimes the sim have no signal :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
- I don't use Facebook so no idea about that.

- SIM signal again no clue. I mostly use WiFi. But I'm sure deedwar shall fix it soon

- Screenshot bug has been fixed. Go to post #1270 and flash the zip

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
[MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] Already fixed for Xperia U 1 and 2. Pleeeeease do something for Xperia S illumination bar as well :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
You know, for a old device like nozomi, performance should be given the most priority in my opinion. Yes illumination bar is nice and sexy and is one of the reason I bought this phone, but hey, we don't even have a almost complete kernel and driver, things like illumination bar is something to look at when the performance issue is sorted right?

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

No this is not it, I use micro gapps as well and my reboot went smoothly everytime, it must be something else.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
I'm not even prioritizing anything :) Just posted it on this thread so as to bring it to someone's notice. If not deedwar maybe someone else will port it. It's flashable zip

As for the significance, that's just too subjective. I use proximity screen off to keep my phone face down most of the time and illumination bar has been of great use to me for notifications, not just 'sexy'

Again, just a request. Not insisting. And I'm very well aware of the other important priorities.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Hmmm, does anyone got lots of launcher withdraw on RC1? using nova here.

And also a quick survey, how long does it takes for you to launch google now from the navbar ring? (if you are using navbar)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Google now opens quickly from navbar ring.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
You mean redraw? I got none at all. Using Nova as well.

This ROM is freaking awesome. Just started using this a few days ago and absolutely no lags or redraws. 200% improvement over stock ROM :D I could never use Firefox and Walkman together. But on this ROM, I use both and even then when I press the home button Nova never redraws (I'm not even using ‘Aggresive Desktop’). Just amazing!

And I don't use navigation bar sorry :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
My phone hates me lol

It takes at least 3-4 second to open google now from navbar, and I got tons of redraw (yup I mean redraw) on RC 1 clean flash

Sometimes I really want to meet any of you in person just to see if it's my phone that hates me lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Haha :D Are you using dalvik?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Nope, ART. For the sake of more sot ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Well there you have it. Your phone hates you because you don't give it dalvik love lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Ok chuck my previous request. I've found the perfect little tool for notifications! It's from the very guy who made the amazing Illumination Bar Notification app. :cool:

No libs are required for this. It directly controls the illumination bar. What it means is that even if you disable Button Backlight in Setitings, the bar will still illuminate when you receive a whatsapp message, etc ;)

Grab it here

Now if deedwar can add manual settings to control brightness like in Carbon ROM and an extra option in Button Backlight which makes the bar illuminate only when the capacitive buttons are touched instead of the screen, that'd be sweet :D But anyway I'm happy with the notifications :victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
That's a pretty good find, thanks for that. I'm not optimistic about the illumination only working when the capacitive buttons getting fixed though, it's been a bug for over a year now on pretty much every AOSP ROM. It's either never a priority or it's not very easy to fix. Other people have asked the same as you but nothing's happened. But I'm pretty happy to just disable the backlight since I know what each button does anyway and where I need to push.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emadtaha:
Can anyone plz tell me if voip works in this rom or not

hi

how i can take screenshot??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Yea I guess it perhaps is a bit far-fetched :p I'm very comfortable with using the buttons even if there's no light. The only reason I need it is because when I keep my phone face down, sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work. When I was on stock ROM it was pretty handy because the illumination bar turned off with the screen as well
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I installed 4.4 RC2, 720MB available RAM :D. It's been running for about 5 hours now but I've been sleeping in that time. So far no new bugs it seems (screenshots and multi tasking still borked for those who'd ask and haven't tried VoIP while sleeping).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:

I spoke a bit too soon. Anyone else having lots of screen flickering? It seems related to systemui. I'm at work now so no log.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
A lot of that 100M extra memory came from the Video Drivers (ION) so if there is ALOT of flicker that could be the issue. If it gets too bad let me know i had it running for a while and got it occationally but i dont use the device for anything but testing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Define flickering please? :D multiple or just a single one?. I've had some singular flickers but seldom and not intrusive (and I used to get these even on stock ROM)

And I just played a full HD video. And to my utter surprise it plays perfectly!!! What did you do? Brilliant job :D

Edit: Only with MX player HW decoding. VLC struggles to play and Sony Movies refuses to open the file
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Scenic1111:
Is it possible to add support for August hdmi and fm radio as it is a pure AOSP 4.4.3 beta 1 ?

Sometimes I miss those two things.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nxdu:
Tried to install RC2 and GAPPS through OTA, the phone hanged while trying to reboot, I had to do a hard reset.

Upon reset, RC2 installed successfully through the recovery.

Boot up normally, though it was painfully slow, I thought I would have to do another hard reset until it suddenly boot into the OS. OTA then told me of a new GAPPS, not sure if it's something new, or the first GAPPS failed to install properly. Hanged on reboot. Have to hard reset.

...

I off the phone as it was getting hot, after it has cooled down, I plugged it into the charger to charge. Once the battery reached 90% (I know because the LED turned green), the phone booted up by itself without me touching. Once booted up, the battery % is 90%.

...

A less drastic bug is that the screenshots in the "recent apps" appear corrupted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Multiple flickering, part of the screen goes black or the whole screen. Especially when unlocking, I have to guess where the circle to slide to unlock is. The notification bar appears and disappears while holding it, so just flickering all over :p. At times the screen completely disappears But it's not all the time (except the unlocking thing, that is all the time), so most of the time the phone is usable but sometimes not at all (seems like sometimes just extended to over 15 minutes now).

But I'm using ART and did a dirty flash last time, so it's not necessarily a video driver problem (but it looks like it).

My GPU was still overclocked, so I set that back to 266MHz but doesn't seem to help. I'll get a log tonight, hopefully it's just me not doing a clean flash.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Yay, I haven't caused any bugs! \o/

(at least not yet)

And if I were you, deed, I wouldn't sacrifice video memory for the sake of more user-available one. Or at least not take as much from it as you did...

Also does anyone have an idea how we can add FM radio (not with tweaks, but in the code)?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
[MENTION=4649179]Redstarr1[/MENTION] I haven't had any of that ? Sounds terrible. Must be ART I guess
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
[MENTION=4649179]Redstarr1[/MENTION] I have been using RC2 for a good 5 hours now and there is no flickering at all. Its just like any other build. I'm on ART too so that cannot be the case. Haven't tweaked GPU but I always enable 16 bit transparency so I'm not sure if it has something to do with this.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Yeah sorry i rebuilt my machine i use to build the ROMs and forgot to add back that change. All done and when i rebuild the next version it will be fixed again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Have Just updated to a newer version fixed issues with screenshots and kernel boot time. Should be working pretty good. The only thing i have noticed is after a while it will stop to play videos and you will need to reboot to get it to work again.

Really great job!

ROM is fast, stable, battery life is good as well.

BUGs:

GPS not working (we all know it, and waiting for at least flashable ZIP) :angel:

Sometimes, just sometimes, when you are clicking the back button, the OpenSEMC logo appear in the background for like 200ms.:confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
OK. Latest version (25 Dec) has working GPS, screenshots (also in recent apps), videos work just like in raymanfx's cm11 (1080p may be buggy). Anything else? Just PA bugs/lack of features.

I really can't understand how clean all (context aware) button work. Sometimes it cleans all apps, sometimes it leaves app that I have in foreground. I know that there is no setting for it, but I would really like to understand when I can leave untouched app that is in foreground while clearing all other running apps.

Hi, I use my xperia S as my daily phone (low on money so can't buy a new one) and I have been using .96 based roms for quite a while, but usually my phone gets way to slow and buggy after a while to keep using it that way, so I reflash try new stuff etc.. Now I am really looking for something new to see if that changes stuff, I need a daily driver that works. Even though this rom is still in BETA I am really interested (because of the better ram management on kitkat) and I wonder what peoples opinions are? First of all do you think it can be used as a daily driver? Second any thoughts on battery life (same as .96 roms better, worse)?

Also I saw this on the kernel forum Kernel775 Kerkat, will it work with this rom and if so does it make it better (choosing right governor, scheduler, clock speed etc.) or is it not necessary at all for this rom?

I know a lot of questions and I should test it my self, which I will :p but was just wondering if others already had any thoughts/opinions on these subjects:D.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
This thread, cm 11 and slimkat thread contains so many not-development related opinions that you'll definitely find which one you should flash. Keep in mind that this is pretty much clean aosp at the moment and you won't find lots of options here. More will be in cm11 and slimkat.

Thanks mate. When the rom gets a bit more stable i will include that setting in so that it automatically updates. At the moment im not sure if something i do breaks something so it is better to not push every update to everyone.
