[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Trying the rom out...Mainly 'cause I can easily switch back to cm10 with twrp. Nice of MrGezz to share that with you.:good:

I had an issue with root not working so I rooted with doomlord's v17a. All good now. No other issues that I can see.

Edit: Scratch that. TWRP gone after rooting w/dooms method.(I should have known that because it changes busybox). I copied/pasted busybox xbin file from rom download and got twrp back. Is root working out of the box for anyone else?

One suggestion though, since the rom isn't totally de-googled, you should leave google tts and remove pico tts 'cause pico sucks:laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
I started having issues with sim card not being detected. Had to restore my other rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Same. I am not able to make Calls . No Network. I rebooted my phone and "poof" no Service. Sim not being Detected.

[MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION] Please fix this Bro . . . . . :(

TWRP is working fine.

For the time being im rolling back the whatever ROM i was using and im not HAPPY

I Think my phone is Bricked. No Response. Buttons not responding. No LEDs when pluggen in. Power button No respnse.:crying: :crying: :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lonelykite:
I am using this rom from day one havent came across any issues even sim card dectection working fine Can make calls also
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
It doesn't matter now, my phone wont even boot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrGezz:
let it charge , it will take a lot of time until the led started to glow. or you could try to dissamble your phone..

sent from my aoba device :3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Yeah , this is the second time me bricking my Phone. I was so stupid, instead of soft reset i did hard reset.

Its been like 5-6 hours. Still no LED. I think i should remove the battery cable and try. to get the tools , i have to travel 12 hours. So better option is to keep the phone on wall charger.

Do you happen to know how to remove TWRP and install CWM in this ROM. You helped Zorbeyd to incorporate TWRP in the ROM right.IF you can help me with it would be helpful.

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrGezz:
you could try the same way as optimumpro had suggested on cm10 lb thread .. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fernoct:
Happened to me several times, never disassembled the phone.. Keep it on wall charger, phone will respond with RED LED after 12+ hours (will happen early if ur lucky). Patience, my dear :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Why? With the right tools it takes 10 min start to finish.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Some feedback: I have 2 ION's in the house and one of the 2 started giving network connection problems, saying no sim etc like others have mentioned above.

For me, the network problem happened with the sim-locked Rogers phone. While the sim-unlocked phone (also from Rogers) currently on Wind mobile had no problems. I am not sure if this is relevant but thought I share just in case if this helps find the problem.

To be sure, I formatted system, data and cache three times and did a clean install twice but the connection problems was there both times.. so I switched back to another rom for now.

So, on the phone where its working, so far its very fast, smooth and beautiful and thats why its worth the effort to fix this network connection problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Firstly thanks for all feedbacks.

Only issue the users get "sim not dedected"

It gets rarely this problem. Actually when you reboot your phone, it fixes. But i am going to solve this problem perminantly.

On TWRP, there is no problem. You can use it safely. Thanks again MrGezz for that. Without him this was impossible.

And some kids there is, who tries to attacking the other people. Who says "I did smallest size ROM" with deleting every neccessary thing with gapps on rom. (And yes it works with half lockscreen) This kids should look their works. I dont angry to this kid.. Because i can understand his adolescent psychology. Only i feel sorry for him.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
I am loving the rom so far... Battery life seems to be great.

Edit- I ran into the problem of No service avaiable.. Unknown baseband. I had to flash rom again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoevo:
Can I use Cwm recovery instead if TRB. I mean can I restore my backups if I flash trb

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jam.01:
I've tried most of the ROMs on the dev thread, this is by far the best experience I've had on the Ion. Specially with this last update, it's pretty awesome. Will report back after more testing. But yea, with the baseband problem solved I can't see any flaws to this 2 year old phone. From RAM management to battery performance. It's pretty solid.

Yesterday I was just searching the roms section ... I accidently saw this thread and wooow ... what a great rom !!!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
wow dude, I was using cm changed to this rom just now and it is freaking awesome. =D great job
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
So this ROM is running flawlessly for me. Thanks for the update.

I didn't need to set up the APN's.

The only little issue I had was with the stock Email app... it didn't set up the gmail and hotmail accounts automatically and I was too lazy to try setting them up manually so just picked k9 for now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Thanks for replies,

Oh, yes. sometimes stock email app doing it..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
I had a random reboot today using google chrome. But besides that everything is working smooth and getting good deep sleep in combination with greenify.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Can you provide logcat about start the using google chrome
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Bro, Use Naked Browser , its better than chrome.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lonelykite:
Hats off to u

[MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION] hey mate this is by far the best rom i have come across. very smooth no issues as such everything working very fine

Thanks for the wonderful work n hope this thing keeps up in the coming future.

Wishing u best of luck for the new rom's that u would be developing :good::good::good::good::good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
@Zorbeyd

Awesome ROM bro. Just flashed it and its working fine. No FC, no Issues till now. About battery i will post it after using for sometime.

But i noticed this issue.

And Second Problem

I tried to Install a different version of Walkman as i did it in the Previous release of PureIon.

It was working in Version 1 but its not working now.

This is the screenshot of that walk man app.

I think this Walk man app is better than the one you have used in your ROM.

If u can make this one work it would be help full.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Thanks you [MENTION=4992529]Captain Droid[/MENTION] , i will look into it for next version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wscheng2:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Yes.

Go to Settings> Display > Scroll Down to Bottom > Lock Screen > THERE YOU GO :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Where are the quick toggles gone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wscheng2:
i know about this...but i try to change wallpaper over there but seem no effect :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Use settings icon on notification bar.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Hmm yes... But in 1.2 i was able to choose my own favorites..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
On statusbar, you will see "Panel Settings" toggle.

You're able to change toggles with your favorites.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
You can't setup your own profile picture under contacts...

It says "no application available" or something like that...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Oh i know,

Lockscreen and profil picture cant chosen, it fixed. I'll release it soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
That's weird. Lock screen Picture its working fine on my mobile. I can change the lock screen wallpaper.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lonelykite:
Yes it's working fine. We can change the lockscreen picture :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:

Hey, [MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION] bro, I just want to know if you are able to make the smart social camera from the Z1 compact to work with the PureION rom. Someone has ported it for JB and I found it in the "S,Acro S, Ion" apps section of xda. I tried flashing it but didnt work.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nishant0001:
how is the camera quality and vdeo quality....is it still lag?

and also for flashing this rom do i have to manually falsh it by using twrp/cmw or i have to use flashtool?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Still lag? Pure ion never get laggy on camera/video shoots.

If you are on .211 kernel, you can flash it directly on TWRP/CWM. If you are not, you need to flash stock kernel or GI .211 4.1.2 based kernel first.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nishant0001:
no in stock jb vdeo on 1980p(full hd) lags......
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
I have recorded many random videos of various lengths on this rom in full HD without any lag... you can try it out too :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
I havent tested 2.5 yet, but i love 2.0 .. I´ve tested a lot of roms, but this one rocks. In 1.2, there were a few bugs like too agressive ram settings and so on. But 2.0 makes my Ion fly, its so smooth and beautiful, and compared to cm11, you have glonass, walkman and cybershot. I just had to delete some (5-7) unuseful apps and lock home to ram.

Good work Zorbeyd, will test 2.5 tomorrow, i cant imagine it could be better than 2.0... ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Thanks you for awesome replies,

I hope you'll love v2.5 too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
Thanks for the update.. 2.5 is up and running perfectly for me. But flashing the social camera didn't work... camera and System UI FC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nishant0001:
yes so far this rom is good but cm11 brings life for our ion......now no one can say that i have 4.4 and u stuck with 4.1.....love all the roms :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Zorbeyd, the rom performs a full wipe on its own, is there a way to exclude that? I dont want to set up everything new after just updating the rom.

EDIT:

Deleting "format"-commands in the updater-script would be enough, isnt it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Here you are; http://d-h.st/gq0

Flash it via recovery.

Yes it is, but i definetaly suggest dont do it. You can get problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] omaretman:
the best rom i have ever used for my ion ^^ very smooth and battery usage is epic :D

but i only have an issue in v2.5 that mobile data toggle is not working properly ,, it only turns on data and but can't turn it off again :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
I can confirm this issue that the mobile data toggle is not working properly. The only way to turn off data is by going into settings menu.

the Rom is good so far but there is some problems that i had face.......

1. Battery drainage(3g just 2 hours)

2. Lags some tym

Love this Rom but PURESLIM much fast and good battery backup.....

In your Rom interface is very cool love it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Just Updated my Version 2 ROM to 2.5.

Just Awesome.

Previous Version Bugs FIXED.

Can change the Lock screen wallpaper , Contact Pictures. :good:

New Version of Walk man, Album and Movies. :victory: :victory:

But i can notice fast battery drainage in this Version(2.5).

My Battery came down to 85 from 100 within 4-5 minutes while using Mobile Data and installing some apps. :(

Gaming is smooth. :good:

Anyway i will use it for sometime and report back the battery life.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Yeah, there is something wrong with the signal. Mobile Internet disturbs my dvbt-stick, like in v1.2, only 2.0 was working without issues.

Maybe you can look into it..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Umm interesting, because i dont have any problem like that.

Maybe more feedback about it will be good for understand.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Nice rom especially useful kitkat notification panel . but battery draining is faster , android system 15% and also mediaserver and media are the main battery drainers . i have installed greenify and gmscore.apk was not there .

Also i was not able to edit led brightness values in " pre_hw_config.sh " . When it is opened via Texteditor of root explorer it appears to be blank but can be viewed as text only .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Can you try it with another text editors?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] snake_pliskin:
I gave it a week. but I really had to go back to Zperia ION v4.5. It was fast but its draining my battery way too faster.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
try greenify... it really helps a lot...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] snake_pliskin:
greenified or not same thing. anyway, im on zperia v4.5 which handles battery way better with grenify of course.

But,the only thing that irritating me is I can't use my stock jellybean keyboard (the Japanese one)

It simply said PO Box touch force close

Can you give me the native Xperia Japanese keyboard apk that work with this rom?

Thank you for reading
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
My phone suddenly stopped working, I mean it boots and everything but it says network not available= network unknown. I flashed back to stock, got same results. I put the sim card on my wife's phone and it worked fine. Put it back on my phone and it does not work... Flashed stock again everything including kernel, baseband. No luck. Flashed CM10 with JB KERNEL and baseband from rogers, still no luck. I guess my phone just turned into a mp4 player...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
If mediaserver is draining your battery then you may have a corrupt mp3 file. mediaserver will continue to scan a corrupt mp3 file for information that is not there. Move all your mp3 files to your computer, then scan them with mp3 checker

No kidding, deleting one bad mp3 file can double your battery life!

Disable BACKGROUND DATA

Gingerbread (GB) had a fantastic option to Disable Background Data. This was wonderful and welcome as it prevented apps like Google Play from getting network access in the background and chewing up the battery when it's not needed while also eating up your data plan bandwidth.

In ICS and later, Google kept background data on all the time. Carriers requested this so that more mobile data would be used and bills would be higher :p while Google Play would also constantly nag you to update your apps. It's all upside for Google and the carriers and all downside for us poor customers. There is an option to Restrict Background Data but it's a very poor substitute and leaves an annoying nag alert in the status bar reminding you that background data is restricted and bothering you to enable it so your bill will increase.

Would it be possible to put in a feature to disable background data in this ROM? That would make this ROM just PERFECT!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Is it safe to use Fix Permissions with this ROM?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Sure :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Have you tested it? I was warned that on other Ion ROMs that fixing permissions bricks the phone.

Lol. My friend, its a statement of stupids.

How do I check md5sums?

I just flashed this ROM for the second time, and for the second time it boots to the white Sony, it goes yellow, then restarts. I have to do a battery pull to get the phone to turn off. I''l need to install an FTF again.

The first time I flashed from TWRP, the second time I flashed from CWM. I cleared cache and Dalvik.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
white sony and goes yellow? its impossible. Before flash, do wipe data / wipe cache / format system.

If you need to check md5sums;

On linux platform ; open terminal, "cd rom-zip-directory" and "md5sum rom.zip"

On windows ; try winmd5 free ; http://www.winmd5.com/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
I boot and I see the white SONY for 8 seconds. Then it turns yellow and the phone turns off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Okay, try again. and dont forget wipes and format system before it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
CWM doesn't seem to have an option for format system. But it looks like during your install you format system and wipe data?

I'll have to install an FTF again, then root then install CWM as I can't get into recovery. Is there a way to convert my last CWM backup to an FTF?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
It has on Mount part. Yes it does but we need to be sure everytime.

Install FTF and if you have unlocked bootloader, flash Ganesh's stock kernel, which includes twrp recovery. Easiest way is that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
As my signature says, I have a Locked Bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Sorry, I cant follow signature of users,

After flash stock ftf, root it and then use my dual recovery installing script or ganeshbiyers CWM setup script.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
What does that mean?

But I need to install BusyBox all over again - correct?

Also, is there a fix for the camera? Photos are very very grainy, lots of noise.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
There is an app called "memory manager" on the market, there you can change it easily by presets.
