regds,

Madan Mohan
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rebelos:
only 720p , hdmi , wifi hotspot , anything else:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ashlp2904:
screenshots would be better :p and is video recording fixed? and what is the speciality of this rom as compared to mikes build? :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
heres the screenies. https://db.tt/Sbqshvvp

try it yourself and be amazed on many features that you cant see on other Kitkat roms. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sunshinebhushan:
Where is developers setting? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
go to settings, about phone, then continue tapping the build number until you unlock the development settings.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rebelos:
man! those benchmarks :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
already installed about 15 plus apps and this rom still kicking fast as fresh install.

fastest rom ive ever installed on my haida. :victory:

btw, the Halo))) app is missing?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rebelos:
working on my version of halo app :p just waiting for PA to finalise their halo for kk:highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kaliakman:
Hello everybody,

I'd like to try it out but in my previous experience with kk I had some issues... For example the ram consumption was too much... I'm using utter and facebook for my business all the time so there's not any ram left and the phone becomes unusable... (I'm talking like 70 RAM remaining..) whereas on SJB I'm having all of those apps running and I still have 150 RAM left...

Is there any improvement in this particular rom?

Thanks in advance.

--OFF TOPIC--
[MENTION=4952282]rebelos[/MENTION] where are you from??:P

--OFF TOPIC--
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mahroof078:
is there random reboots..?? what about battery life and ram consumption..?? how is gaming..??? is there any update for camera..?

thnx in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xTiNct26:
Im using it a whole day without experiencing any random reboots.

The Ram consumption is pretty amazing. I have an average of 150 to 180mb of free ram on idle.

even when facebook, messenger and google+ all open at once, its always fast.

technically this is the best and fastest rom ive ever tested on haida.

Camera works like a charm, tested all settings on both Picture and Video recording and got no problem.

And for Gaming, its sure fast and lag free at it has lots of free ram, tested Real Racing 2 and CSR Racing without any slowdowns.

Its like i have new phone on my Hand.

[MENTION=4952282]rebelos[/MENTION] your the best man. keep up the good work. :highfive:

EIDT: Heres my Screenshots. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gjole86:
OC to 1.8 .. cool :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] -TheJoker-:
I'm sorry for the incoming stupid question but I wanna know before wipe my phone,is this Rom faster than ultimate HD Rom?cause I'm currently there and its kinda fast don't wanna change to a slower Rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DedeDocil:
try it urself! Do backup first! That question maybe annoying to developer. Developer need support not a freaky question.

Regards :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rebelos:
i m from india , new delhi and your answers are below

i m glad u liked it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Saatvik Shukla:
:) Actually fellas ,

I felt really nice, that you all considered me for what I do not deserve.

For further development, give me some time, not as good as rebelos , but yes, hopefully.

#because i have not had enough knowledge yet to do build from source efficiently. So when i am able enough, i would love to. But for now ,consider my apologies for this.

Anything else i am capable of, I would love to do that for the community :cowboy: :angel:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shubu:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shubh_007:
I m on mike's build. Do I need to wipe and install. Or flashing the kernel and rom would do fine?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] atomrat:
Rom great but video recording FC when record is on

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DanielZRK:
I've flashed and the performance IS REALLY AMAZING! Wow the Best KitKat ROM I've had tested.

The Ram management is very cool, above 160MB Free! I think the final build will be too much amazing!

I'll Test the battery life in the next days

PD: I use SmartassH3 245MHz-1209Mhz + sio
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] venoma333:
Hey rebel,

Congrats on your new ROM.

Just wondering whether or not there will be a build for hallon at some point, or at least a patch.

Also, is the browser lag fixed or is it even possible to fix it in the future?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] medo_h_e:
Install instruction please ? and what kernel you prefer to this ROM

is it needs new partition i didn't try Cyan. 11
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mido_fedo:
working good on hallon use thie patch for fix camera

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48890974&postcount=44

and you need to edit build.prop
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] -TheJoker-:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] atomrat:

Always use the one inside zip...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Not booting up for me.. Tried installation twice.. :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavb1986:
Installed in my mobile.. So far no problems..

Camera is working good.

Smooth and lighter than JB.

Have to check all the options.

Is there any way to enable OSB for this ROM. Using physical keys is frustrating.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shubu:
fast drain....

battery draining is very fast.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] anandsvm:
Using from last 12 hours.. Awesome ROM No bugs everything works fast. ROM is fast.. Battery life seems to be good too :victory:

NO weblag .. which porevented from installing KitKat

THanks for awesome ROM :o:o:o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
Happened with me once.. Try installing stock 4.0.4first then this.. I know you are a dev.. But maybe you missed it in hurry or if you did then maybe am not sure what can be the reason
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Didn't flash stock ftf.. Because till now i never had this issue.. I'll try though.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sreehari.007:
I flashed ftf first .. Its working.. I dont hav any problem..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Lol.. Still it's not booting.. No idea what is wrong.. I'll redownload
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] martinusbe:
Edit build.prop from MT11i(neo-v) to MT15I(neo) after you installed the patch :good:

You don't have too, its just going to show as neo/v instead of neo everywhere.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ChristO1624:
Hats off, downloading and report later!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sunshinebhushan:
Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped

Unfortunately, the Gallery has stopped.

EDIT 1:

Now I am trying go back to JB ROM. For that I flashed JB Kernel but it is not booting into recovery.

Following are mike's steps to go back to other than KK ROM

So I stuck at Step 1.1 (Optional) as my phone is not booting, What is exactly booting into Bootloader and How can I erase system & userdata ?

EDIT 2:

Solved by wiping all by 4.4 kernel and then flashing JB kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameyk85:
I have the same question. If coming from mike's LX ROM, is there a need to do a full wipe? (This may not be required if both use the same new partition layout)

If there is a need to do a full wipe, are all of the foll. steps needed or only some?

1. Wipe data / factory reset

2. Wipe cache

3. format /system

4. format /data

5. format /cache

6. Wipe dalvik
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] atomrat:
Everything was working fin until I rebooted the phone now the camera is flipped upsidedown and for few seconds got fc

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
Flash any stock ftf and you'll be ready to go with any jb GB or ics
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
It's simple enough.. Before switching from lx builds to any other rom, wipe everything using lx kernel itself and then flash any other kernel..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sunshinebhushan:
Flashing FTF didn't help :(

Yeah Bro, In next try I did same thing only ;) and it worked out.:D

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Some FAQ posting #thanks franco

F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!

1. My phone exploded, HALP!

A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. or demsg

2. This kernel works on Y or X rom?

A: This is one of the worse questions you can ask on my threads. only kernel from zip is supported

3. OMG BETTARY SUCKZ, IT DEAD IN 45 MINUTAS, HALP!

A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels and roms to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.

4. How do I flash this?

A: 1. Flash Kernel

2. Wipe ALL

3. Format system

4. flash rom and gapps

6. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?

A: Deal with it.

7. XYZ thing doesn't work in rXXX release, you suckas, fix plixe!

A: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a fix, I can tell you I don't have the solution. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I ignore you.

8. My XYZ thing is borked, doesn't turn on, haz gray bars, drains battary and killed my parrot. Fix plz."

A: This Rom has been tested by our testers before releasing it to XDA. The problem is YOU and YOU alone. Probably installed some wtf stuff with some wtf things. News flash, fix your derp and stop spamming this thread with nonsense.

#ifdef (all other questions) {

pipe them to null void

}

#endif

regards

Rebelos
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
That's what.. I was feeling like i have read this somewhere.. You can remove the kernel faq.. :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] -TheJoker-:
could you provide us working gapss?cause i tried latest from cyanogen mod 11 and when i flash them my keyboard stops working :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] stratosk21:
Where do i get the gapps?

Edit : the whole ROM is working like a charm no lags extremely smooth and able to run heavy graphic games without lags. Tested Arel Wars 2 and it ran smoothly. Thanks for this ROM [MENTION=4952282]rebelos[/MENTION]. Cheers. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
use YourZgapps (my fav one always) u can find it on xda
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] -TheJoker-:
thank you for the info working good,btw the rom is blazing fast and no lags atm :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jesuuu06:
i have been using your rom for last 10 hours its working like charm.. thanks to [MENTION=4952282]rebelos[/MENTION] .Can you please provide a 17dpi or 22dpi osb for your rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
get Xposed;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavb1986:
Installed GravityBox for KK through Xposed as you said.

But there is no result.

GravityBox didn't work as expected. It started exiting by itself.

Any other method to get OSB?

Another problem is that, there is no option to uninstall apps from the apps menu (as in ICS or JB).

The only way to remove apps is by going to Settings --> Apps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deepakpunjabi:
for hallon

the camera freezez when taking photos nd crashes.

only preview is fixed.

i wish there was a official build for hallon

otherwise rom works superfast.i get 200+ free ram with apps installed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavb1986:
Finally a good KK rom to use.

ANOTHER GOOD ROM TO USE

Pros

1) Lag free

2) Camera works fine when compared to other kk roms.

3) Audio and picture clarity is good.

4) Fresh interface.

5) RAM management is better.

6) Gaming (To be checked).

7) Lots of features.

8) Halo notifications.

9) All other basic options are available.

Cons

1) No OSB. (Tried with Xposed too):crying:

2) Uninstalling apps from app menu is not available (as like ICS and JB).

Didn't face any FC's till now.

To be updated.

Thanks @ rebelos for a good kk rom.

I have the same problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kanth1991:
Hello

Hello , i have installed your rom and tried installing some of the frequent apps i use , Set Cpu , Ram manager and Clean master.

However after adding a swap file to my sd card and configuring my ram management with ram manager , things are a bit... unbalanced

Apart from that Clean master Cannot recognise any apps running that eats ram in the Floating interface.

I dont know if its Rom problem or apps but i had an hour ago a 4.2.2 custom build and it was working Flawlessly.

Oh and the Tile that shows the Owner , i couldnt change image to that or generally edit it , when i tap on it a white screen opens and then closes again =/

Hope i helped !

Cheers!

[MENTION=4952282]rebelos[/MENTION] any chance of making wifi tethering to work? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
techniqually yes and No , cause i m not focusing on it right know

Mike's major concern is to get Ion kernel booted it is in compliable state know but msm_fb is broken ... so all priorities are know on ION first then i will think to Dream (work) on wifi related [problems]:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cyr4x:
How about battery life on this rom? Can I achieve at least something as on JB 4.1?

EDIT:

CWM doesn't work on attached kernel. I see only "CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6" at the bottom and a hat logo. After few minutes of waiting nothing else appears.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavb1986:
Thanks friend. The problem was that I was using gravity box from SD card. I installed it again in phone memory and everything works fine now.

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

I get 2 days of battery life on normal use.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kushal_neov:
ok so wifi tethering is not working but..is wifi working? or is it buggy??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Saatvik Shukla:
it is buggy as you can read in the mike's changelog of KK

Almost working same as it is in 4.2/4.3

[P.S. correct me if I am wrong]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] stratosk21:
Running this particular ROM and WiFi connects without problems. 60+ apps and still 200+ mb of free ram with v6 supercharger. Cheers. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kushal_neov:
Its buggy...wifi in 4.2 was much better and the ics one was the best...:rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Saatvik Shukla:
Dude, come on...ICS is Stock..everything will work on it ...

its still under development ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kushal_neov:
wifi connects on my device too but when i open a web site or when i start a download it takes hell lot of time
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavb1986:
Don't know about yours friend.. But wifi in mine, it works excellent without any lags and bugs.. Always connected online at ma home..

Haven't faced a single problem in Browsing or in Wifi Connectivity..

edit: also my gallery is look empty, i can open pictures(or lost music) with file manager
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] medo_h_e:
same here it takes more time to load or even download on play store

BTW, this ROM is smoothly no fc problems all work

free RAM is awesome with running apps

games run with a bite lag didn't test all games but should be more smooth

Please fix this :

when you receive a call .. call ended show (see in attachment)

Don't add beam light when you lock or off the display

AM - PM for clock not show on status bar

We need easy setting to start OSB

Hi guys, thanks for the rom, looks great.

Now, i've a problem, when i tried downloading it, it said that the phone wasn't compatible, that it's just for mt11i, mt11a, haida, i have mt11i.

...

What can i do?

P.S.: Is there any chance someone could put some install intructions? just in case i'm doing something wrong, please
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavb1986:
Download the ROM from the link in this thread. [If u are downloading the ROM thru mobile use ADM from playstore.]

Or download the ROM thru system and copy the file to your SD Card.

Extract the kernel file "boot" given in the rar. Dont use any other kernel.

Flash the Kernel given inside the rar file.

Install the ROM through CWM.

Thats it.
