New version added, only 197 mb in zip. See download section...

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is my tribute to Cyanogenmode team and their great success in creating lightning speed roms.

This rom is based on my Aoba Pure Black, but instead of the original size of 390 mb, this version has only 240 197 mb in zip. This is as close to CM roms (190 mb) as possible. I believe this is the first stock based rom of this size. In addition to removing usual Google/Social/Sony bloat, I took great care to get rid of literally hundreds of unnecessary files in framework and lib directories. As a result, the rom is (in my view, of course) as fast, fluid and ram available, as CM roms, but with the added benefit of good battery life. Your Android OS won't take more than 4-6% of battery life. At the same time, the rom has all the usual and latest Xperia Z1 features: honami framework/icons/animation.

The idea was to improve on something that is hard rock stable, as opposed to doing Kitkat, which is ages away from stability on the part of Google and the development community without negating the latter's great work.

DESCRIPTION:

1. Fully deodexed, rooted, busyboxed, debloated (3rd party GAPPS still work), black themed version.

2. Based on JB 4.1.2/.96 version ported by me

3. Honami Framework with fully black UI including Phone, Contacts, Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Home (7 icons), Quick Settings, Volume Panel et al

4. CPU Control, Led Control, SMS Counter and OEM Dock in Settings

5. Apollo player and CM file manager

6. AOSP lock screen with new vertical animation

7. Nexus Camera with all resolutions (no stock camera)

8. Only 240 197 mb in size (zipped)

9. On first start about 375-385 mb of ram available

10. Regular boot is under 30 seconds

11. Blue themed dynamic boot animation

12. Ready to go APN settings for many countries

CREDITS: Niabok and JJwrongJJ for Honami Framework, Hitfan for 7 icon Home, Avik6123 for latest Z1 apps, CM team for Apollo, CM File manager and APN settings. PM me if I forgot you.

INSTALL INSTRUCTION

1. Have 211 JB stock kernel, Roger Baseband (if your have LT28i or AT&T versions) and CWM

2. Enter recovery, go to Mounts and Storage, mount System/Cache/Data and format each. Remember, factory reset is not enough!

3. Install the rom, reboot and let it settle

4. Go to Settings/Display/Quick Settings and choose Quick Settings for black, as opposed to SystemUI for white

5. Enable Wifi/Data, then go to Settings/Wifi/Advanced and tick stay on when screen is off, if you use VOIP services

6. Install CWM and you are all set

7. Enjoy the rom and hit Thank you/Donate or both :)

P.S. Rom and GAPPS are in Download Section

Wish I still had my Ion to test this rom(had to sell it, it's still running your rom though), great work and thanks for not abandoning Ion users.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
Where is the rom? Download section? Thanks. I was about to go back to your aoba ultimate privacy rom

Edit- Found it... downloading now. Will report back ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
at the top of this page, just above the first post there is a line with black background which is currently on "DIscussion" . Next to it is "Download"... thats where you will find link to the rom and the gapps... i am downloading as we speak.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Soo... Is it possible to have twrp recovery from mrgezz's cm rom on your rom? I'm guessing the answer is no but, thought I'd ask.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
No problems to report. Spent a few minutes testing everything and loving it so far. Thanks so much for this awesome rom.

the T-9 functionality is missing in the dialer. Is it possible to enable it or do you recommend another app?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
Perfect rommm :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Try the attached...

Unzip (don't flash), manually move to system/apps with right permissions and reboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
I will give it a try. I have feeling that this rom will be amazing.

:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] credo92:
Some screenshots? :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Thanks for this... works perfectly. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ezamry:
This rom is fast and smooth..

Good job.

Can someone help me.. Why my lockscreen is not fullscreen?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Thanks man your rom is bleezing fast. No more lagging. Amazing home screen. Everything till now is perfect. Iwill give it a good charge to see who battery will stand. One more thing stamina mode and

Could you. Please. Activate. Small apps its not. Working..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Another thing. The led light in charging mode while screen is turned off Going strange like Sos sign.

Any solution for it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Stamina causes more problems than benefits. That's why I removed it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fernoct:
That's because "Led Control" enabled in Settings. You can disable it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Small apps please :cool: @-}-- [MENTION=226197]optimum[/MENTION]pro
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You don't have to turn off led control. Just go there and configure it the way you want...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Small Apps: try the attached. Unzip (don't flash) and manually transfer to system/apps with correct permissions. There is no guarantee they will work, as I might have removed support for them. If they don't work, just delete them...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I am running CM10 right now. Perhaps someone else could post a few pictures?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Because I used to use them in. Stock. Rom :(

I will try, thanks for feed back
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
I noticed that the volume level reset to what is seen in pic.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You mean they reset on reboot? There are 2 reasons: one, if you are using Gravity Xposed module, which may interfere, and another, if you jumped from other rom and did just factory reset/user data erase, which is no enough and can cause all kinds of issues. You need to mount and format System/Cache/Data. In Gravity, settings for sound should be disabled...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
It doesn't save the changes that I have made.

And iam coming from stock rom and I followed all the steps

Really this small bug is annoying :banghead:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ezamry:
Volume level work Ok at my device..

Only lockscreen doesn't full screen :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Here is my opinion about this rom.

First. There is a buge in volume level which reset to default after change it.

The ram is so so. Not bad and not good. 160 _ 150 M embty with whatsaap, viber, dolphin browser, Google services and email client.. Etc.

This rom has nice transaction when get in someplace and get out. The home screen has a little lag when u put a widget like whether or calendar.

Another thing. The camera is sucks " its nexus one "

Small apps for me is an important thing which is not working. But that are not a serious problem in general.

I havent rested much heavy games but for now.

Clash of clans smooth

Fruit ninja laggy

Temple run smooth

Angry birds smooth

.

And iam facing sometime " slow responding "

Finally..

The battery is good.

I have a minor issue with the Messaging app of this rom. For sending sms, if I search and select a contact from within the message app, it force closes. If I go to contacts app or call history and select anyone for sending sms this way, it works fine. Or, if I enter phone number manually, it works fine.

If anyone has a suggestion/solution, please help. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Yes thats true same here. Another annoying buge when the alarm is ringing sometime u need to reboot the phone to stop ringing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Are you using Xposed modules? Could you repeat the issues and post logcats so that I can look at them?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tindean:
Been banging on this rom since day one, changed msg app to evolve (sys app now)

Sound Enhancement

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

In the settings for sound, there is no option to use another specific sound enhancement mod.

I.E. i wanna use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

ViPER4Android Audio Effects as I have been able to use for every rom I tried including the ones you previously made.

Yes, I noted that there are settings within the Apollo App there is an option for equalizer in which i selected the specific mod. It however does not work. I am wondering if this is a bug or if you simply did this on purpose for other reasons and if there is any fix.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerogear88:
Hey [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] first just came aoba black umt prv. ROM amazing work been using cm10 a couple weeks can I flash your ROM with twrp can't wait to try it out
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Yes, you can flash it with TWRP, but after flashing you will have to install CWM. Just make sure that you wipe system, data and cache in TWRP before installing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
For Apollo settings to work, you need to install DSP manager from CM rom, which is an equalizer app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
How man?

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Xposed modules??

Logcats?? .

Sorry bro but dont know exactly what that words above mean. :what:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Logcat is a record of what is going on with the phone. You can download logcat from the market or use any other similar app. Turn it on and recreate your problem. Logcats are text files usually saved on your SD card. You can post it here and I can take a look at it.

I don't have any problem with sound (including alarm)...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
This is the logcat report

http://www.mediafire.com/?cdzsdzkx45n113z
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I did not see any errors related to sounds. What I saw was plenty of errors for Gapps and facebook. Also there were errors related to SD cards. I would reformat both SD cards and see if that helps. Ideally, I would also reinstall the rom. Regarding Gapps and Facebookb: I don't support those and it is not possible (closed source). Try other Gapps...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
U mean I cant use gapps in this rom?

And I need to format both of SD card and rom. :eek::cool:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You can use Gapps, but they (not the rom) cause errors. You can try slim gapps. Your Sd card may have leftovers from other roms, which interfere with this one.

lockscreen Issue

I am also facing same issue ..lockscreen is not full ..can u suggest ...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
That's the way it was designed in apk. When I have time I will decompile and see what could be done...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Ok. On Saturday I will make fresh install for rom and Format my SD card. And then I will judge clearly.

Thanks for your quick feedback bro
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Just flashed your ROM. :):good:

Seems pretty fast. But i really cant find the difference between this version and Previous version of your releases. AOBA Utimate Private with Honamni Camera and all.

ROM is good, no lagg. I will post about Battery Performance tomorrow. :fingers-crossed:

Now i really need to remove that Nexus cam , please provide a Zip of Stock camera or Any other camera mod without laggy video recording.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
The difference is this rom is 150 mb lighter than the previous one.

For camera, use Rizal Lovins latest cybershot...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
The video lag will be there no matter what camera you use. The rom needs the lib files from .96 if want better video recording. You can try this but you might lose root.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerogear88:
torrent dead

hey ive been trying to dl but the torrent cant find any peers. any direct link ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Direct Download. For better speed, use IDM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerogear88:
Thank you, for DL link
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
You know that odexing the rom makes it better? I odex the rom with universal odex script. Phone seems pretty fast and have better battery life after doing the odex.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390162
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
I had xposed framework installed before odex and still active on phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Yes, but by reodexing, you will be cutting yourself out of 90% of updates and improvements or if there is an update, then each time you would have to dedex, apply update and then reodex. In my view, this trouble outweighs the benefit of a very tiny speed/battery improvement..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
i need some help as i am new into this :) after i flash this rom into my phone and i dont like it how can i go back to the original jelly bean 4.1.2 from sony?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Benefit from reading stickies. You will learn about CWM, without which you wouldn't be able to install any custom rom. Use CWM to back up your current rom..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
ok i got it. and what about the gapps-jb-20121011-signed file?? do i have to flash it throu cwm also??? i have rooted my phone and installed cwm but in locked bootloader. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Yes. Install the rom first (follow directions), reboot and then install Gapps.

New Version Added. Only 197 mb light

Updated version is in Download section. Only 197 mb in zip.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
hey m8 my phone is dead after formatting and wiping the cache and data, and now phone hangs at sony logo.. any idea how to fix that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
The only way that would happen if you turned the phone off after formatting, which is a huge mistake. After formatting, your phone has no system (including CWM), it won't boot. The only thing you can do is flash another rom or restore the previous one, while you still in CWM. You should really read useful stickies...

Now, you have to flash stock JB with flashtool, then root, then install CWM and then either restore your saved backup or try again, this time the correct way.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
actually i didnt turned of the phone m8.. while i was browsing the sd card to find the rom that you provided the phone just died lol... thats strange tho :D i will fix it now by the sony update service and will try again :P lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
OK. Then it must have been your battery or you accidentally pressed reboot in CWM. I am not sure Sony update service would recognize your phone. Flash tool is the best solution...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
Thanks for the update.

Does this new update fixed the bug in messaging?

The problem I encountered with the first version is the messaging app force closes whenever I try to create a new sms message.

If someone send me an sms message, I can reply to them without any problem. The only problem is when creating a new sms message.

I am currently using your other rom Aoba Ultimate Privacy because of this problem in this rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I would delete this messenger and reinstall one from market or just install messenger as regular app from my other rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
i did flash it m8 its all good now :) thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

Is there a changelog for the update? or is it just that that new jan 28 file is smaller than the previous one..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Some more bloat removed, smartsearch restored and smallapps bar removed. This one is 40 mb lighter, which translates into speed and smoothness.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Why. I cant play heavy games.

Any recommended settings or something?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
There is no special settings. If you played these games fine on another rom, then perhaps you should go with that rom. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Your rom is amazing. And iam just wondering.. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
hi m8. its done now i flash your rom and its great :) thank you :) i have a question as i dont like the camera ui can i change it with this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2570973 ???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I don't recommend that camera and I don't trust the developers who are proven to insert all kinds of malware into whatever they touch. In addition, this is Niabok's slightly modified honami camera. I had another version of that on my Aoba Pure Black and it is a ram eater. Use Risal Lovin's cybershot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
Hi [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] what ram eating camera are you saying? this one? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485148

I thought that one has Rizal Lovins camera.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] montenell:
For some reason I have no recovery. Is there a way to manually add twrp?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
No, that one had Honami Camera by Niabok and modified by me. I was referring to a Chinese version posted in Themes. These guys also modified Niabok's Honami Camera, but they added malware in there, which they do in everything they post. Just look at the post I was replying to, it has a link to that camera. But my comments regarding ram eating applies to both. Honami Camera is fancy, but it can't properly work on ION due to limited ram (Z1 has 2gigs of ram). Risal's Camera is a modified stock camera, which is good for ION.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You are not supposed to have recovery after installing stock based roms. My instructions clearly say: install CWM afterwards. You can't have TWRP without modifying the rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Thanks for marking this rom as 1, which means terrible. I know who did it: that little poop who steals other people's work. And then he goes around and teaches others how not to steal. He calls them "freeloaders." LOL. This guy has no integrity, no shame. And he doesn't know what he is doing when it comes to roms. I pity him...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] montenell:
Ah OK. I must have got my Roms mixed up with all the flashing I've done in past few days. Will I stall cmw... I've seen great battery life on this one had 19 hrs one day. Good work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
So, does the rom boot? Does GSM/LTE work? Does WIFI work? Does Data work? Does the phone lose network? Is there anything that is not functioning? I am worried, because some clueless and angry dope, who only knows how to cut and paste, says I have removed everything that is needed. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
Yes everything works as expected. I have had no issues with LTE or cellular signal

Ram is quite brilliant and I stopped using Facebook and installed lighter app since you hate fb app so much

Battery life is amazing at five percent drop overnight (seven hours) while connected to WiFi ...note my auto sync is off

Only issue or personal complaint is that you removed the option of adding third party sound modifier, like you can't even find the option in settings anymore, this doesn't let me USS viper 4 sound mod... Bummer but whatever
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fernoct:
You can ignore them, there are a lot many who appreciate your work. :o

Just saying, even if I flash new roms I always revert back to your Aoba black & it's my daily driver for the longest time..

I feel much slimmer in this rom though, better ram management, small apps gone, Apollo implemented & many more..

Messaging app FCs when choosing recipients so I uninstalled it & installed 8sms from Playstore. (Kitkat stock messaging)

Perfect I would say, fast app opening (like in CM). Yyou can consider including it if there are future releases.

Cheers! :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
This is one of the best and fastest rom around. Only problem is the Messaging app. I will try 8sms...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ALEKSDKS:
i have the same problem with the messages :/ lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Do any of you, guys, use Xposed framework with Xprivacy module? If yes, you have to check permissions for messaging. Xprivacy is very restrictive by default: if messaging is not allowed to have access to contacts, then the app would f/c. I use textsecure, which gives me no problems whatsoever...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
Nope. It happens on fresh install without anything else on it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerogear88:
No I am dead stock on your ROM and have the SMS issue but eff it just DL new 8mms app one thing the led control goes crazy sometimes I get the opining shell blah blah gonna disable notification in super su
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
The led goes crazy, because of led control. You can either disable it inside the app or configure the way you want, but then you will have to disable led notifications in individual apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jijiey:
Does this ROMS worked on LT28i only? What about LT28h?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
It will work on any ION. Just make sure you have a corresponding baseband (if LT28i, have Roger's baseband, if LT28h, use generic JB).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
By the way, I have found that Gingerbread baseband works better than JB on LT28i and AT&T versions. Just get the ftf file from Spectre's thread and flash basebands only...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fernoct:
Besides the simpleness and fast responsiveness of this rom, have anyone noticed battery drain causing of Android System, even in overnights? Or is it just me? [Edge on, Autosync off, ZGapps installed]

Can u tell me advantage and disadvantage of this rom over HONAMI CAMERA! Aoba_PureBlack_Ultimate Privacy . ? ? I am currently on DEC 19. CAMERA UPDATE+. HONAMI CAMERA! Aoba_PureBlack_Ultimate Privacy and pretty much satisfied but since its work of optimumpro want to try :o:cowboy:
