I activated ART and it seems to be working for me. Not sure if it actually works like it should, but after a reboot it hasn't switched back to dalvik, not sure what you're all talking about :eek:

Network Speed Indicator

Wow Great Rom But One Thing Whenever I click on MORE option in settings settings stop responding . Another Thing Can u Add network speed indicator in this rom That will be great i dont want to use any 3 party app for that Or Can U Make Me Zip For that So That I can Directly flash It .Thanks in advance:o
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] whitemamba:
OK that's weird... So ART works for some people. :confused:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] santi8912:
I'm using Vanir for two days and it's a great rom! but I've a question...it's better to use the stock kernel or williams/nayak? I've tested williams and seems to be good but not for the battery...which one could I use to have the best quality and performance?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
Since we're dealing with a new update it would be wise to test it yourself because at the moment noone will be able to answer that question.

Maybe in a couple of days...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] J0kker:
Edit: Nothing, sorry.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] krokanic:
Battery drain depends on how do you use your device...i am on william kernel and here is my battery usage...not bad at all...:)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
will try this one later.. after finishing DL backuping up my files.. first time with this 4.4 ROMS.. so i'm a new to this.. is there any concern.. what to do.. what to avoid with this ROM? can i use apps from the 4.3 JB? i mean is there any app that is not compatible with this ROM? suggestions before..

im with custom ROM by dipesh1502.. is it ok to flash this immediately? no important things to do?

thanks..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
Thanks for the update!!

Back to Vanir after using FXP and Nightly for a while. :)

By the way, ART is working fine here. (I'm on William's kernel 3.1)

With ART, some extra tweaks and about 20 extra apps installed I have 495 MB of free ram. :D

Tweaks are:

Freezing unused apps with "Titanium backup" app

Disabling some google services with "Disable service" app

Greenifying some apps like facebook, messenger, snapchat... etc.

No issues sofar, except for, as mentioned earlier, fc when clicking "more" in settings.

Tip for everyone who likes nice sound:

Install Williams kernel, use fauxsound (surely worth the money!!!) to increase all volumes, use viper4android with beats audio convolver and use winamp as audio player. Winamp no longer officially continues working on this project but there's an old apk that can be found on the internet. Just google for it.

Cristal clear LOUD music with no lag.

Thanks again for the update!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] xfahim:
What, you can use ART with Williams Kernel? :$

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Which rom are you on? I'd recommend not to dirty flash. Download this rom, wipe data/cache, then flash the rom. (Gapps afterwards).

And no, every app is compatible with 4.4.4, no need to worry about that. Make sure to backup the apps' data before flashing. (using TB)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
i'm on dipesh1502 purexsp v3.3 right now.. first time in 4.4 ROMs..

Well it won't increase the performance dramatically, you see. As it's a new project and getting better and better. It's even better in Android L. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8231/a-closer-look-at-android-runtime-art-in-android-l

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Yup. Although I haven't flashed any other kernel, so I'm stuck with the default ones.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Finally got time to flash and test the rom for 2 days. As I was complaining about the battery life before, with this 4.4.4 (with the default kernel), I'm getting REALLY good battery life, comparing with what I got before.

Although, I have some weird problems. From time to time, every icon in status bar except the clock gets disappeared. :S It comes back when a new notification arrives. Also, notification texts on status bar (eg. Whatsapp/Text) seem to overlap the clock, where every icon/clock was supposed to be vanished for a moment for the notification. (I'll add a screenshot later)

Plus I've random freezes, too. Apart from that, performance is really good. :)

Try to download this cm 11

And activate the function, that is was i did and then i reinstalled this rom again.

It work really nice on my phone and its so smooth

The speed is the same but app run smoother and faster open thats my experiance
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
I just added a feature request.

Please add support for Fauxsound to your kernel.

At the moment I'm using Williams because this kernel supports Fauxsound, but I'm having issues with deepsleep.

More info can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxsound&hl=nl

Thanks in advance for looking into the possibility of integrating my request.

Again, great work!

second mic doesn't work and for sound volume you can use fauxsound with william kernel v3.1...

Having a new problem quite recently,

Phone is falling into deepsleep and not waking up...if I receive new texts, the led flashes but the phone won't wake up after pressing the lock button :( quite annoying I have to hard reboot every time now.

tbh I think I'll go back to 4.4.2 for now. Hope the next update irons things out :victory:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
successfully installed the ROM.. thanks [MENTION=4653854]agileart[/MENTION]

one question.. i heard williams kernel 3.1.. what version i will flash? the cm or miui?

thanks.. first impression of the ROM is fast.. but there are times that the keys are not so responsive.. i mean i have to click it twice or add more force(hehe).. but great ROM.. im sticking this for a week..

my first 4.4.x ROM..

Thanks [MENTION=4616622]whitemamba[/MENTION]
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
Use CM.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
[MENTION=4653854]agileart[/MENTION]

wait.. cm10 or cm11?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
Cm11
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
thanks..

[MENTION=4653854]agileart[/MENTION]

can i request some ported apps or mod? or simply, where in XDA can I get customization for this ROM?

thanks
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] xfahim:
What do you mean?

In the settings menu, head over to the Interface option. There's hundreds of collective mods that you'll find quite interesting. :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
thanks.. will try later..

does the xposed module works for this rom?

some advice please? thanks..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] xfahim:
Yes Xposed works.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
Yes, if you stick with Dalvik and not use ART.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
loving this ROM.. but one thing.. can i customize this ROm to make like xperia ROMs? the keyboard.. the home.. the gui.. is there any mod for this? can serajr kk for xperia works for this ROM? sorry no knowledge about this AOSP ROM.. but im learning to understand it..

thanks
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
For UI, you can apply Xperia Z2 cm11 theme by Thomassafca on playstore, install port xperia Z2 launcher. There a lot of sony app ported for cm11. You can find it in xda or just googling..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] prabhav.3892:
why Dont you make a one final version wrapping up all the minor bugs ?

and we can have one perfect kitkat ROM
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
Maybe he's busy. But i agreed with you. This is a perfect rom.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] xfahim:
So, a minor thingy, I was playing around and noticed that pendrives/ext. hdd via OTG isn't being mounted. both fat32/ntfs format. Does anyone has this problem?

GUYS PLEASE i need to know how to change my ringing tone in this rom i posted this 3 times already and no one replied ?

you all guys stick to the stock ones ?

Isn't it under Sound in settings?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] claudio917:
Hi guys, is it safe to flash vanir aosp latest release if coming from a CM11 (4.4.4 version) WITHOUT wiping data? Did somebody else tried this? Thanks!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] xfahim:
Haven't tried it, though I don't like dirty flashing. I backup everything using Titanium Backup so.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] aliiahmed.20:
These are the Stock ones i want to know how to put my own ringing tone
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Nibsalot:
If you have a file manager like ES File Explorer you should be able to use a custom ring tone. Settings > Sound > Phone Ringtone at this point an option to complete action using Media Storage or File Explorer Should Pop up > Choose File Explorer and navigate to your custom ringtone
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] aliiahmed.20:
i use android zip as file manger i should look into that
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ozz_y:
Or u can try to copy it to /sdcard/Ringtones and select it from Settings > Sound.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] krokanic:
if you are using apollo or play music just tap and hold on song you want and you will see option "use as ringtone"
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] aliiahmed.20:
im using the google play music player and souncloud and both doesnt offer this option
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] krokanic:
hmm...i allways do it that way...than try to copy your songs where hangouts ringtones are placed....if you dont have hangouts...than copy your ringtones in sdcard/media/audio/ringtones...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sebciu:
can anybody confirm if Opera Classic is working on this rom? fc on my SP :( also settings fc when I click 'more' in device section...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] therightperson_630:

ART WORKS

hi, ART WORKS When:-

flash rom...switch on ....switch off to recovery...flash kernel,flash gaaps,,,,reboot.. setup account...again reboot to recovery.... now wipedata factory reset.....restart......

go to Developer menu....Select ART....phone will reboot and optimise apps......DONE>!!!!

"Don't use Xposed or it will break and return to dalvik"
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
before you flash the ROM.. did you do a factory reset? wipe data cache and dalvik?

and what kernel did you use?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
Before i flashed i Wiped Clean my device( format data ,system,storage) everything. Right now i m on William kernel pretty decent battery is there.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sfvam:
sorry if my question is stupid but is it a must to falsh this rom from my sd coz its not working

thx
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] prabhav.3892:
you can use internal storage also to flash it
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
thanks.. I've followed your method but no luck.. boot loop i think..

sorry to say that your method on my device is not working.. but thank you.. you gave me an idea.. n_n

after boot loop.. i restored my phone tru nan droid back-up..

no more clean installation..

after that I uninstall all my exposed module including the app it self..

>> reboot >> flash williams kernel >> wipe cache and dalvik >> reboot >> activate art..

DONE..

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

can you help me how to customize this GREAT ROM? some apps from sony.. is porting working on ART? and some alike to xposed modules..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
hmm so Finally you got ART working right??? well in first case u didn't uninstalled exposed u just went ahead and Wiped ....so thats y all Xposed files are still there but just no GUI app to control......but anyways alls well that ends well.

all KK ports should work with this rom though i hardly use much customizations. you can Find a lot of Ported apps for CM11 and mod the way you like.!!!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
what do you mean? even I uninstall all the apps in the xposed. and the xposed module itself.. the app itself is still in the phone? hmm..

do you have a link for some nice port for this? n_n
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
don't worry i said after you install new rom you need to boot phone and do initial setup and tun go to recovery and do wipe data factory reset n restart as it gives more stability.

all the steps i mentioned do work one way or other. ;)

well it depends what u want to modify.......stasutbar,camera,keyboard etc. :fingers-crossed:

Use google u'll get everything easily.

:o:cyclops:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
okay i'll try your method if there's instability in my method.. thanks..

btw.. maybe the problem is the recovery.. I dunno..

one thing.. how to access cmw touch in williams? all I can enter is twrp and philz.. maybe that's the prob because when i flash this ROM using these recoveries it wont let me proceed to the setup.. it stops in connection settings.. xD
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sfvam:
thx alot :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] moe111:
any soon update ??
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] omidz:
I have 2 issues with this ROM after a clean installation:

1- compared to stock ROM it feels a little slower which is a little wired i guess

2- i think it sometimes cant register my touches, maybe its the gloves mode on stock that i had enabled all the times

Is it normal?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] GingFreecss:
I dunno.. but we had the same issue about the touches..sometimes unresponsive.. but when I flash wiliams kernel.. problem solve..

Hi. Is there any custom kernel that works with vanir aosp and also supports fastcharge and fauxsound?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
I suggest using Williams kernel v3.1, NOT v4!

I was on Vanir - Williams V3.1 combination a couple of weeks ago.

You will also need to flash a fix to make sure your wifi and bluetooth works.

Head over to the thread to find the file. It's called "fixed modules.zip".

Both fastcharge and fauxsound work on this kernel.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TheSG:
I didn't understand step 2 of download instructions.I have already 3 recoveries installed.(cwm,twrp,philz).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
Then skip step 2...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] omidz:
Sometimes itts painfully slow :(
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Farooq95:
Flash the .207 kernel from PAC ROM.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] omidz:
I also did that. Dint know why but i cant get it working like CM on my phone
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ramcool789:
You can't get it working because this rom is not based on stock ramdisk like some other LBL, it is only for ULB. So you can either flash Williams kernel v4 (cm11 one) or nayak kernel or the one included in the zip of this rom.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] omidz:
I have UBL; what i meant was i can't get it working 'fast' like CM. Regardless of what kernel i use it with, Vanir is extremely slow, laggy and unresponsive on my device [emoji26]

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] msainani:
Hi. I have a very strange problem with my XSP running Vanir. I'm posting this here because I think it might be a bug in the ROM.

I've been using Vanir for over 2 months now.

The problem is that the phone wouldn't charge, at all. When it was powered on, plugging in the cable through either wall socket/pc would do nothing. PC didn't even recognize the phone.

Currently, the battery is completely drained and there's no way to power it on. When I connect the phone to wall socket, the LED first turns green for about 5 seconds. Then, Sony logo is flashed with LED being red, for 5 seconds again. Then, the offline charging screen would appear, and go off within a couple of seconds. When I press the power button, the offline charging screen flashes and goes off. LED isn't blinking or lit up.

If I connect the phone to PC, the LED glows red constantly. That's it, no charging.

The problem is not with the cable as I tried 3 different ones.

Someone help, please.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] prabhav.3892:
Yeah that would be really nice it used to be a popular ROM here before it was abandoned.

If using the same ROM for 2 months and it stops charging it is likely the USB adapter. On all phones the ports are notorious for failure, especially people who using multiple cradles. (the jamming and torquing the connection loosens/breaks it).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] aryef23:
is it stabble for everyday use?

what about antutu benchmark? is it good?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] whitemamba:
Yes, its very stable, especially if you underclock it just a bit @ 1.6 GHz.

Antutu doesn't tell a lot about your experience, just how powerful your phone is (e.g. processor). So naturally the scores are about the same as other ROMs. I'm getting 21000 - 22000 (underclocked at 1.6 GHz)

If you like speed, then yes. If you prefer more features, they are still being added so you should stick to another ROM instead.
