ABOUT STORAGE: You must totally wipe all data, from custom roms, you can do it from recovery in Advanced
[Xperia SP Android Development] @non4:
Nope. Simply move your files from shell/emulated to shell/emulated/0 and .obb files to /shell/emulated/obb, no need to lose all your stuff ;)

sleep mode - waking up

Rom is very good, I just dont understand why 3rd party software like alarmdroid doesnt actovate on set time when phone is in deep sleep "stamina mode on" .... it works fine for stock alarm, but stock alarm doesnt have widgets...? hm... silly questions how to get widget to work... tx
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
Try if the alarmdroid works after whitelisting it in stamina mod.

After some days and reflashes, some issues came up.

But at first: quite stable rom, much better than i've experienced on my old galaxy S2.

Nevertheless, when setting up my XSP for daily use...

* sometimes RAM management is quite annoying - there's a process who eats all the free ram, leaving just between 10 and 95 mb of free ram behind. Consequence: home launcher app always restarts itself, making it horrible to switch between apps.

Does somebody know which process that could be? I installed several task managers to find that out, but none of them showed something.

Secondly, the keyboard app doesn't work properly. Regardless if i use the xperia keyboard or the kii Keyboard app, it does not pop up sometimes when i want to write something...

and - also the back button sometimes refuses to go back - just nothing happens.

i'm using advanced stock kernel and apps like 3g watchdog, facebook, whatsapp, myfitnesspal, no games. so.. anyone an idea?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deemanthax:
try to use kernel in the zip...

its working great and no ram leak problems...
[Xperia SP Android Development] peters.:
Why are there no memory leaks on the other kernel? Can somebody explain?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flamingwolf6529:
Doomlord said that the only difference between stock and and advanced kernel is only the cwm recovery and root. But I've flashed the zip kernel and still rooted with no problems at all. So my bet is gonna be on the faulty cwm recovery, or a faulty kernel build, which is more likely.

Sent from my C5302
[Xperia SP Android Development] peters.:
I tried this ROM without flashing the extra kernel, managed to get root and xposed to work, but the RAM management was just terrible... Random apps would be restarting, almost no free RAM, phone was not usable. Therefore I'm wondering what is the difference...
[Xperia SP Android Development] @non4:
I'm thinking perhaps root itself is what causes memory leaks, not sure why
[Xperia SP Android Development] Patrol619:

[Xperia SP Android Development] Sadman Khan:
Try flashing the kernel provided inside the rom zip. It solved the ram problem for most
[Xperia SP Android Development] NoeVermilion:
is that will lost root? n cwm also..

Sorry for my bad english :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
1st u fastboot the advanced kernel then enter recovery and then flash suersu fix

Then if u want u cn fastboot the kernel in zip

But then you will lose recovery but not the root.

it work with rooted but the recovery suddenly lost...it's okay mate...thanks

Help..bootloop! FIXED

I've managed to get myself into a bootloop. Comming from the Honami Flavored Stock rom I flashed this rom with recovery, so before flashingthe Doom kernel. Now stuck in a bootloop .

Can anyone give me directions how to go from here? Thanks..
[Xperia SP Android Development] Redeque:
I also reverted back to kernel included so without recovery.

No more ram issues now. Weird
[Xperia SP Android Development] skiflyer:
I can confirm that it's working very well with stock kernel. No issues any more :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Stitch15:
So flashing the kernel included in the rom zip wil solve ram usage problem but loses recovery. If I want to get back to recovery mode, does this mean flashing the advanced kernel Doomlord supplied?

Are there any other kernels (with recovery) that could work with this rom?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deemanthax:
if you want recovery again flash advanced kernel Doomlord supplied...

no there are no any kernels for now........
[Xperia SP Android Development] nasroed:
this really phenomenal I think because I don't know what happen in there but I agree with them the stock kernel just work flawlessly on my device after I comparing the stock kernel with advanced kernel in a few days.

In just one day the advanced kernel turn the RAM management issue on. in the other hand with stock kernel in 7 days I did not feel something annoying with Ram management. there is no any force close apps or something I occure. that's an awesome..
[Xperia SP Android Development] NoeVermilion:
NOT FIXED

one days ago i had back to the stock kernel of JB 4.3 leak to fixed Ram problem on my phone but until now it did'nt

[Xperia SP Android Development] peters.:
I can confirm, after switching to stock kernel, RAM management is normal, no redraws of homescreen, usually about 200 Mb free. It may be connected to using Xposed&Xprivacy though . On advanced kernel, RAM was consumed till 6hours or even less.

Guys, If everyone is having problems with the SuperSU try this:

1-Flash the Doom Kernel

2-Re install the ROM

3-Now install the SuperSU .zip (Found here: http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip) I also installed cerberus at this time because this ROM doesn't have recovery

4-Reboot. We only use the old 4.1 doom kernel for the recovery. The ROM .zip will flash the correc kernel on restart

Enjoy!
[Xperia SP Android Development] DooMLoRD:
just hold on for some time... i am releasing new kernel with recovery for this ROM :)

Are you also getting occasional random reboots, caused by kernel crash (the stock one)?
[Xperia SP Android Development] noahvt:
if you are having problems with advanced kernel you Can do this:

Flash advanced kernel

Fix root via recovery

Flash kernel from ROM zip

download this recovery: View attachment 2546586

Open up batch in the folder you just downloaded (extract the zip first else it wont work if you run it from zip!)

select option 1 and press enter

grant root acces on phone

reboot and keep pressing volume up to enter CWM

Enjoy 4.3 with recovery, Root and without advanced kernel

[MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] can you add this guide to your main post?

bugs noticed

I did. Keyboard crashes suddenly. Not app specific though. I tried with Facebook, Whatsap, BBM.. it crashes and doesn't open for a while.

Also, Here are couple more things I noticed.

1. Back button goes unresponsive at times. No matter what I do, it does not respond. Works after a while automatically.

2. 'Swipe up or down to unlock' message on the lock screen doesn't seem to go at all. As opposed to the previous versions where it would disappear after couple of locks and unlocks.

3. A little of title text overlaps the indication bars while installing apps, history details of batter usage page etc.

4. App drawer button does not change after changing from downloaded theme to preinstalled theme.

6. Camera app does not run smoothly.

5. Sony splash screen size increased (Not a bug though :laugh:)

Few more coming up. Screenshots attached for whichever possible.

First Thanks [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] for your great offer and simplicity in showing this stuff for us newbie android users.

second I have came across this bug since I have applied this ROM, while device is plugged to PC whether is MSC or MTP mode in order to check usage of both storage internal and external and when I plug off my device i notice following issues.

screen keeps flickering on-off

applications are randomly opened with me touching phone.

I basically can't do anything with phone only to power off and then power on again and device is working normally.

also where is take screenshot option in power off menu?

I have tried these issue a couple of times and i still get same result.

also keyboad is failing to show sometimes and if it is up, it is not there sometimes it goes back under again

can anybody identify what this problem might be ? should I flash stock kernal under ROM.zip ?

Did you do a factory reset after coming from Existenz? I came from stock and the initial setup was launched just once.

The notifications sound is there, maybe editing some system configuration (build.prop?) might help. Even with advanced reboot module from xposed the sound is there.
