How about fifa 14? It's fc's too

Sent from My XZ1, XSP, and X8
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pap96:
check this one...i also had huge battery drain for no reason on cm11 fxp rom...i use nayak0.3 kernel!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] slyr114:
Check for wakelocks using wakelock detector, also disable Google location services until you need to use an app that requires location
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pap96:
and after checking wakelock what should I do?

also the stats I posted refer to one random schoolday where I listen to music for 1-3 hours...no gaming WiFi or data usage..also no calls and SMS..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] whitemamba:
Use a wakelock blocker and block the wakelocks that are using tons of CPU

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The first version does not have this problem, I will post the links the first version later and build again soon.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pap96:
so I've been using wakelock detector along with DS battery saver pro...I selected to block all apps(except playrpro faux sound messaging and people) and actually had much less wakelock while screen was of..but battery is still huge..for example we start a class at 9 and by 9.45 I would have a 15-20% drop whitout doing anything at my phone..no music no games WiFi or data/messaging/calls...I also notice that sometimes my phone gets hot just by being I my pocket and without any usage..

any suggestion?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sarkar1990:
Is signal a problem in your uni? This happens when the phone cannot find a strong network.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pap96:
no because if I use airplane mode still the battery drain is huge...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sarkar1990:
Then install wakelock detector or better battery stats and find the rogue app/wakelock that's eating up your battery.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pap96:
i blocked the apps causing the wakelocks but still the same problem...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] whitemamba:
Use this version if you don't mind missing out on some new features: vanir_huashan_4.4.2.123013.zip Its really fast, and has great battery life, but it does not feature HALO etc.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
hi guys ....i want to know how much free RAM do you have usually.......

and can i use Xpose Framework on this rom.....

Seriously if this ram could allow me to play NOVA 3 without crashing Then this my Next Best ROM....

Thanx
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] @non4:
You can AFAIK, as for nova 3 it worked for me but lagged hard. Did you flash kernel via fastboot?

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
i have same issue

Finally go it Working after Whole day of head banging......and the issue is :

how can install default Messaging app. ??????

and How to add more screens to home screens.....

Edit: got it :)

phone restarts on Antutu benchmark.....everytime..!!!????

Need USB OTG Support Scripts...!!!! Thanx
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
Yes i Flashed kernel through fast boot.

& Yes NOVA worked flawless for me...i mean too good no lags at all and no home launcher crash!!!...dunno y it lagged for you....its i nice Rom altogether.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] meliacentrum:
Need update :p
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] whitemamba:
There is the default messaging app, look for it

Then go to hangouts and disable messaging (Google that)

If you want to benchmark under clock the phone to 1.6 ghz or 1.5 GHz

I don't use OTG.

Wait one more week :(
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] whitemamba:
What I meant was that I don't use it, so I wouldn't know how to help you.

OTG works, but it requires some special cable to supply the power to the phone. This is a common problem in all AOSP based ROMs.

There are many threads about this go look for it.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] STONEMF2:
it should be inside rom

Ohhh....i know but i think u didnt get my point. What i m saying is that a kernel or rom should have OTG drivers to support it. I have a pendrive which works flawless on almost every phone given its rom has required scripts/drivers embeded in rom. So u made this rom an all aosp roms support it.

So basically u might have missed including the short script through which my device would recognize the pendrive as soon as i insert it. Coz right now this rom dosent recognize any usb otg.....so u ll have to include the required script which u have missed while comping rom.

Hope u know now wat i meant coz its not a generic rom its a custom rom made by u so only u can add the required drivers.

Thanx

What i found out is Basically its the Kernel which should support USB OTG....rest u Decide ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] markamps:
Hi. I'm trying to install this rom for the first time. But I'm confused with this step 2. Flash the kernel in the zip with fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Where can I download this kernel? Tried extracting the boot.img from vanir_huashan_4.4.2.010514.zip and flash with fastboot but after flashing I'm stuck with black screen. I really want to try this rom. Thanks in advance.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] @non4:
You need to flash the kernel from the zip then flash the rom from recovery. If you have done this I'm not sure what's going on I'm afraid, however xperia kernels are horrible and you may benefit from flashing again, I flash my kernels from flashtool so you could try that to eliminate problems from adb

Sent while my supervisor wasn't looking
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] markamps:
Thanks mate for confirming that I should really use the boot.IMG inside the zip. I tried flashing again morning and now I know where my mistake was. After flashing kernel last night, I waited for my phone to display the Sony logo before trying to go to recovery. But today I think of trying to access recovery mode even without the boot logo. And it works! Now I'm using this ROM typing this reply. The ROM is so much faster than the stock one.but I have a problem. It cannot read my 64gb exfat SD card. Do I have to do something to make it work?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] @non4:
I don't know if this rom supports exfat so you may have to format it

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] wapem:
holly hell dude !!! it should be illegal to have such speed in a phone ! i mean god dang ! i'm expecting any minute now for it to take flight like a spaceship , if the battery life will be good enough then this will be my last rom to use ever ! please update it more ,it has the greatest potential , CM11 eats battery for breakfast and is not this fast either , the battery on this one for now seems to be good from what i'm testing
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MaRsHaL.Afg:
i need this systemui rom...

anyone have???
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] wapem:
sadly this rom has the same bug as CM11 , when i try importing contacts from my SIM card it says i have none , but i have ,it works on stock and other custom roms ,but these roms based on CM11 just don't want to show them , any fix for that ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
Agreed.. The best kitkat based rom for xperia SP. I had tried fxp cm & liquid rom but it disappoint me. This rom is the best so far and i use it as my daily driver. Fast, feature is lite (to much feature just make me confused).. Thanks Whitemamba, to bring this ROM for our device. ???

Sorry for my bad english..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] wapem:
and another thing , my SD Card is not recognized ,i formatted it and not recognized ,is recognized only in CWM Recovery , i hate that all the bugs from CM11 are still in these ones :(

if you could update it so that we can use bigger exfat / NTFS sd cards would be amazing , had to change from this rom because it doesn't see my 64gb card
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
Anybody, help me. How to remove statbar & navbar black gradient. It would be perfect if its fully transparent. I have trying a lot of module xposed but not working. Any suggest? Or somebody who can give me system UI without gradient? ???
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] markamps:
My review on this ROM

After 3 and a half days of using this rom, I decided to make a review about this. First of all, this is my first time to flash an AOSP based rom. I already flashed tons of custom roms before but all are based on OEM stock FW. So I don't have much idea on what to expect with this one.

Here are the positive things I observed:

1. This rom is so fast. Way faster than the laggy/buggy 4.3 build by sony. The main reason why I decided to flash AOSP Kitkat rom is for speed. And I certainly got what I was looking for with Vanir.

2. Customization is awesome. There are not so many customization options bundled with this rom, but it has all what I need especially the functional ones. I don't care that much about the look or theme of UI, I just want to be able to do stuffs the way that I wanted (ex. easy switching of immersive mode). So I'm really satisfied with Vanir.

3. Battery life is OK. Not as amazing as what I used to get with stock 4.1.2. But it's not as terrible as what I've read from the first few pages of this thread. Yesterday I got 4hrs screen-on time with mobile data ON almost the whole day and about 1hr of wifi tethering plus the usual browsing and video streaming with 30 mins of gaming (swordigo).

Then here are the negative:

1. It cannot read my 64GB exfat sd card. I'm not sure if AOSP roms really don't support exfat. Or if flashing custom kernels can fix this problem.

2. No built-in FM app. Xperia SP is my back up phone for my Galaxy Note 3. And one of my main usage with XSP is listening to FM radio since Note 3 don't have FM antenna. Luckily Spirit Unlock FM app is working with this rom. But It don't look as good as xperia's stock FM app. (Can anyone help me where to download stock FM app for Xperia SP?)

3. Torch app has bug. It doesn't switch off. When I turn it on, then tap again to turn off, it will only be off for about one second then it will turn on again. I have to lock the phone to permanently switch off the flash light.

Overall this rom is very good. The positive outweighs the negative. The general smooth experience with this rom is priceless. Thank you whitemamba for sharing this with us. Hope you can continue to update this rom. :highfive:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] claudio917:
After testing a few roms this week, I'm really satisfied with this one, I think VanirAOSP is the fastest rom available for XSP now.. Very fast and balanced, no crashes or FC. Battery is good, maybe not as good as LiquidSmooth in my opinion but acceptable if you think at the performance of this ROM. Thank you very much Whitemamba!!

Hey Whitemamba thanks for updating this beautiful rom, the tile design has improved and it is more polished, but I've noticed some bugs on the navigation bar, especially when you're on the app drawer and pressing home or task button turns the navbar into black for a moment and lose its transparency. I was running the previous Vanir version so I didn't wipe data (just cache and dalvik cache) before jumping to this version, I don't know if I had that problem because of that. Now I just have flashed the previous build and I haven't that navbar bug :) Think I'm gonna stick to this until a more stable version will be released, it works very good anyways :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] wapem:
yes that was the reason why i flashed another rom , but now i'm switching back because i found a small little program with which i formatted my 64GB SDXC card to FAT32 so now is working fine , if you want to do the same here is the file , i checked it and is clean , good luck

Nice ROM, few questions though. I never use this feature and can not find out how to disable it. Also I cannot seem to get fast torch working, when I hold my power button, my screen just turns out. Also my hold back to kill app is not working. Oh ya if you use the Vanir inverted theme, you can no longer read your all contacts list in the phone app. Lastly, how do I disable the navigation ring shortcuts altogether. I know you can in other Roms but am not sure how to here. I really want to like this ROM and it is pretty great, I just hope I can fix these issues, thanks.

Been using this ROM for a few days now and the only issue I am having now is super inaccurate battery percentages. It will go from 88 to 66 to 75 then back to 66 all in the course of an hour, anyway to reset battery stats or something? Other than that issue best 4.4.2 ROM I have used.

Questions...

Hello!

First i just want to say the rom is SUPERB, fast and light, but i have few questions...

1. Is there any compatible sony apps (Music,album, sound booster...) that are compatible with this rom? There are the only thing i miss..

2. Is there any way to swap memory internal with sd card, because i cant move apps to my sd...?

3. Some games like despicable me wont work, Angry birds go has sometimes some texture glitches... is this normal or...didnt try much games so...

Thank you in advance, and sorry for bad english!

I presume that release 030214 is based on fxp309?

What are the improvements and I've heard that fxp309 release have bootloop problem.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] slyr114:
I could be wrong but this is AOSP based and FXP is CM11 based. Also this is by far the best most stable ROM I have used so far. However really the only issue worth mentioning is that for some reason the phone will not charge when plugged into either my laptop or desktop. Before I could charge the phone from both of them, while on this ROM I will wake up and the phone will be completely dead. Anyway to get around this?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] freedom74:

My phone charges super slow and gets hot when charging. Also sometimes it just won't charge, ill have it plugged in and wake up and the phone will be dead. Other nights the phone charges fine and is not warm at all. Not sure what is going on here... Have tried reflashing fresh and I made sure no apps were keeping the phone awake.

This happened to me once, I flashed vanir_huashan_4.4.2.010514 (2nd version, not the latest one) quite a few weeks ago now and it happened once which was quite a while ago now.

I woke up and was very confused as the phone was plugged in but battery was dead.

Luckily this has only happened once. Other than that slight glitch everything has been perfect!

Don't want to install latest version because this is running so smoothly.

I'm using the last version of this rom.

The very very slow charge is normal in CM11?

I put charger on 2am with 30% and get at 7am with 84%.

5 hours for only 54%.

Could I do something to improve this?

Everything else is fine.
