[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Auto brightness.

Do it manually........dude.not a big issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nono.zz:
not for you maybe, but an issue indeed..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leemo92:
I decided not to mention auto brightness because I'm sure it is a bug in every aosp based rom (correct me if I'm wrong)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nono.zz:
it works fine on my Nexus 10..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leemo92:
I meant every aosp based rom for xperia s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreamtheater17:
Bluetooth does not work in any way? Can send a picture? (for example) what about Voip? Does it work? How do I Root an aosp rom, this one does not include it.

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
Regarding this, if you have a custom recovery at your disposal you can easily root by simply flashing a SuperSU zip from this handy website here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreamtheater17:
Thank u, I'm going to try it, what about Bluetooth and Voip? Does it work here?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blackmatrix64:

3.HDMI, using fame buffer mode but bad graph quality (RGB565), need more work

4.BT SCO, fixed

5.recovery, just start working on it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] billchen1977:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] matej18:
[MENTION=5064452]billchen1977[/MENTION] ....just testing your rom,....and for me it seems, that somehow, the auto rotation feature(settings/display/auto rotate screen) has some impact on the screen flickering during video recording....... keep da good work alive....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BlechMann:
Hi! I have just a question... After trying Raymans KitKat that really was good already I got back to Stockbased because of cyber shot cam app. Is there any way to get it running on kitkat rom?! or any other app that could shoot photos as good as it??! This is everything that keeps me away from testing your rom. i really would like to :P but I need a good camera :(

Thank you for your work!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BlechMann:
yeah. but im looking for a camera solution using kitkat rom :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cabi.costa:
why does the alpha 2 .zip file is only 7mb?? isn't this supposed to be the newest version?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
I think you have to flash it over the alpha 1

just as an addon...:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hamad335500:
Alpha 2 normal version have recovery??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:

When trying to paste pictures from pc to mobile storage, at some point an error message pops out saying "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" and the transfer process freezes. You need to unplug and then plug in again the mobile phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
Sorry if this has been asked before

Does normal version Alpha 2 have a recovery?

thanks

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Downloaded this ROM yesterday and I must say its very stable ROM for KK.

It give me a free RAM around 320MB that not a concern.(The plus point is total of 691MB for multitasking which makes it snappy.)

Many members here are asking about recovery Do check THIS thread. I installed the recovery from there using method 1 and all is working fine here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] omegastarr:
How did you root the rom ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Download the UPDATE-superSU-v1.9x.zip from the chainfire website (Google it you will find the latest one)

1.flash the ROM first.

2.flash the gapps and then the UPDATE-super SU-v1.9x.zip (without rebooting)this will get your device rooted.

3.Install recovery from that thread using method 1.

And then you will have a rooted ROM with twrp+cwm recovery.

Hope this clears everything.

Thanks mate, will try it later :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
wow thank you it's works!

I didn't know that there's dual recovery for XS except the ones that come with DoomKernel

[MENTION=5064452]billchen1977[/MENTION] you may add this in the OP
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] joyahmed3244:
Alpha1:

how to flash it properly?

where is the kernel??

help!help!help! :eek: :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
is there any way to change theme on this rom??? i tried installing theme chooser + theme provider from cm11 and nothing :S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
if you read op carefully and read several posts in this thread

you will understand

if you have bootmanager, install bm native or bm loop version (it's your choice)

if you don't know what is bootmanager, or don't want bootmanager (search this section for more info regarding bootmanager)

download alpha 1 normal version

download alpha 2 normal version (upgrade)

downlaod gapps for 4.4.2

download dualrecovery (i use method 2) from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634382

download flashable super su zip (search it if you don't have)

flash alpha 1 normal version zip

flash alpha 2 normal version zip

flash gapps

flash super su

flash dual recovery zip

done

hope this helps

theme chooser from cm won't work, need cm framework

you can use xposed, there's some module for theming like HKThemeManager
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] timespace7:
I have flashed the alpha 1 normal version zip, alpha 2 normal version zip and gapps into my phone but didn't flash both super su and dual recovery zip.

Now, everything works but the phone has no root access and cannot boot into recovery mode. How can I root it now? Or is there any method I can wipe all things and flash all zip mentioned above?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
it's obvious that you didn't have root and recovery because you didn't flash super su and recovery

go fastboot some kernel that have recovery (doomkernel, opensemc kernel, etc), then flash super su and recovery

and fastboot again kernel from alpha 2 zip
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] joyahmed3244:
So if I don't want to install boot manager I just have to flash the alpha by recovery ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
yes, but recovery is not included in rom

so you MUST flash recovery, currently only dual recovery that I have tested and working

don't forget to flash super su too, cause the rom is not rooted

if you want to say thanks, just press thanks button to billchen1977
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] timespace7:
After installing kernel that have recovery, I can enter recovery after power on the phone?

Where can I download the kernel that have recovery? I am not sure which one it is.

How to 'fastboot again kernel from alpha 2 zip'? extract the kernel in alpha 2 zip?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
yes after fastboot-ing the kernel, power up the device and go to recovery (it will not boot into rom obviously)

just search in this section, there's plenty of it

you just need working kernel with working recovery

yes extract from alpha 2 zip (boot.img)

I don't know how to root if you already booted into rom without root and recovery

basically if you have root, you can install the dual recovery easily
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YoungFiire:
Themes

Guys , I don't know about you but for me the Statusbar was lagging heavy. On CM the solution is to change the Theme in the built in Theme Chooser. But this is Pure AOSP.Here is the Solution :

1.Download Xposed Framework (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 )

2.Download XTheme Engine (http://www.datafilehost.com/d/e523dacc)

3.Install the Xposed Framework APK

4.Launch Xposed Framework and install the Framework in the menu

5.Install the XTheme Engine APK

6.Go to "Modules" in the menu and activate XTheme Engine

7.Now choose a Theme from this Thread and install it as usual APK (54TOTAL Themes) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2592132)

8.Launch XTheme Engine and choose the Theme in the Dropdown menu

9.Apply and reboot

NOTICE: Not every Theme is making your Rom smoother, you have to experiment a little. One theme is called Holo Sense and is working perfect but it is not in that Thread I linked just search with Google :)

For me the GPS does not work, anyone has the same problem??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w.laugs:
Wifi channels 1-13 needed

First, very nice rom, very snappy.

Its the first KK rom with good working camera. 1080p recording starts instantly, on other KK roms it took nearly 10-15secs to start recording.

Very fast GPS with Sygic navigation. Bluetooth working.

The only problem i have is with Wifi. It connects to my Sitecom router but does not see my Netgear WNDR3700.

On Wifi analyzer I see only half of the networks nearby. On my Nexus devices I see all networks.

Are there any of you with problems on a Netgear router.

Hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks for this amazing rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w.laugs:
Tried some different routers.

Linksys WRT 54 G works ok.

Linksys old B works ok

SITECOM works ok

Netgear WNDR3700 not visible. (When I change channel to 11 I can connect to it)

But I live in the Netherlands, and I see about 20 routers nearby, so normally I use channel 13 because it has less interference and more stable.

So if possible It would be nice if you could change it to use channels 1-13.

I tried carbon and paranoid rom, they had no probs with al the above routers, mayby an option to use there wifi module.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vinjurr:

I use it regularly with Sygic navigation.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

I would like to try it, but first need a decent recovery, my dualboot always works only once.

Don't know where I'm going wrong, but I need a backup first before trying.

Did you perform a Antutu benchmark?

But I think its awfully quiet here, hope develloping is going on.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ^Reloaded^:
For me even gps isn't working maybe it is based on location
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DeJe63:
This is worst ROM to install. It destroys TWRP on installation... :(

After install the PC doesn't recognize it at fastboot device anymore.

N7 and N5 still working and as ADB the Xperia S is also working...but no fastboot so no changes to flash TWRP again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Just because you wont read, doesnt mean it's the worst rom to install. The normal version doesnt have recovery, op said this, ofc it'll destroy any recovery you have. There is some way to install recovery to normal version, it's rather difficult but as long as you've flashed supersu after flashing the rom, you'll have recovery mode (read the threads)

the easier way is to install letama boot manager and flash the native or loop one. If you just want to use single rom, i suggest use the native. It will use the recovery from the boot manager just fine

Lastly, this rom wont do anything to fastboot mode. Maybe it's your pc. I can use fastboot mode just fine with this rom installed
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
yeah gps working fine, only slow due to bad weather

the dual recovery works fine for me

dualboot did you mean boot manager?

well I really don't trust antutu or any benchmarking apps

I just use it and compare it in my daily use

quiet doesn't means bad actually, the rom itself very stable despite being called 'alpha', so no one complain :cool: (despite some people who doesn't read properly)

but yeah we will very happy if [MENTION=5064452]billchen1977[/MENTION] back with some goodies ;)
