Kii Keyboard from Play Store. Absolutely the best, far far far beyond every other keyboard I hav tried.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
This ROM is fantastic, really really buttery smooth and stable, I haven't had a fc yet. Some redraws but it's ok at all.

I report a minor bug: when switched pixel density to 240 the SIM unlocking screen has cutted fonts (see attachment).

I think the only bad bad issue is that WiFi Tethering doesn't work. I agree that NFC is not mandatory, but WiFi Tether is for me.

Thank you developer, i think I still use this for long time, I didn't think that a Sola can be so smooth and reactive.

Conclusions for Weekly-1

[MENTION=5143053]XperiaMT27[/MENTION], I'm posting you the list of major, minor big and small issues I encountered in these days using Weekly-1. I suppose this is useful for you and for users want to try this great ROM. Some of these I know there aren't ROM-related but i list them anyway. Please other users confirm or deny.

Lack of features

WiFi tethering says Error and prevent WiFi turning on before reboot;

Bluetooth tethering doesn't work;

NFC not implemented;

CWM doesnt have Fix permission and Wipe battery stats entries.

Major bugs

Lots of keyboard force closes when running some apps, I noticed them only in Google Chrome and Facebook (the only two that use prediction, is this casual?);

Every ROM for Sola has the annoying bug of the touchscreen not working properly during charge, but this is the ROM that has the worst behavior I ever seen till now: the screen is not insensitive but become really crazy also with a low-amperage docking station, OK with PC;

WhatsApp force closes when I try to send a photo pressing Attach>Gallery and try to select the image, no problem if I go on Gallery and select Share with>WhatsApp;

Back button issue doesn't need any comment cause it's known at all.

Minor bugs and eyecandies

CWM says looping error (I had to force reboot) when you try to format /sdcard.

Cutted numbers on SIM unlocking;

About 1-second lag when waking phone (lionheart+row);

Yesterday evening i phoned my girl and the Dealer app start showing me black screen, the phone was unresponsive and I had to force reboot it, but this is probably casual.

Bye guys and thank you to [MENTION=5143053]XperiaMT27[/MENTION] for his good work.

use lightweight keyboard like multiling beta and change your minfree value

i dont face this issue.. just sometimes

change governors
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
[MENTION=5402339]Deichz[/MENTION] thanks for the answer.

What is minfree and what governor do you suggest for this ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deichz:
http://www.androidcentral.com/fine-tuning-minfree-settings-improving-androids-multi-tasking

for governors sometimes i use ondemand + sio or smartassv2 + sio

i recommend performance control app for that, you can easily change minfree values too

Actually there are very few bugs... except nfc and theter there are no problem for me... just a few time there's back button problem, but that is on other roms too!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
No offense, but other ROM's have much more bugs than this ROM. Compare to other ROM's, the bugs of this ROM is not that so bad. Highly recommended in terms of daily use. Better to try it than never. Besides, you can bring back your old ROM if you don't like this ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pj.gomes:
I'll try it this afternoon :), only one question In downloads has Weekly and Nightly? which is the difference?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
Difference is fix some minor bugs. More more efficient. You can ask [MENTION=5143053]XperiaMT27[/MENTION] for more info.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Peppecarto:
Weekly is the latest build. i suggest that one ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nhojeric214:
Bluetooth is kinda broken after a couple of usage. Button stays off after pressing it couple of times. Maybe because i "dirty flashed" it from previous build. Will reflash with wipe later and will provide observations later
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
Disagree. This is one of the smoothes rom I ever tried and I think 4 the future that it will be the best. But now, till keyboard force closes won't be fixed, I should you to not flash this for daily use.

Testing Slimkat

Just installed right now...how can I change the menu size, I already changed font size but sill looks very small on Xperia Sola, is my mistake.....or is based on Nova Launcher? In Stock Rom, I always used Nova Launcher (the fastest launcher in market), so basically...looks the same as I had in ICS with Nova

[MENTION=5000027]pj.gomes[/MENTION]

I hope! Even if with my previous ROM i found very useful the Location-based WiFi and I'd like to see it on SlimKat every feature added has his cost in terms of ram filling and battery drain, and for a buggy and not performant device like our that's not the right way. I hope in bug fixing cause this minimal philosophy is what make this rom different from others in the forum. ;)

Good rom though responsive and snappier but still has keyboard redraws when using facebook and some back button issues as usual in KK roms
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nhoc_maruko9x:
I'm currently using this ROM and do not have any problems like that. Keyboard redraw obviously because of too high Minfree taskkiller and low free ram. Some useful tweaks I used with every ROMs:

- Use Performane Control to set Minfree to Light, enable KSM.

- Lionheart + sio (just personal opinion)

- Use Disable Services to turn off a bunch of Google Play services that (trust me) you won't need!

+ GcmService

+ FusedLocationService

+ NlpLocationService

+ GeocodeService

+ NetworkLocationService

+ GeofenceProviderService

+ DispatchingService

and save about 30MB RAM..

- Completely remove NFC if you don't need (not just delete/freeze NFC.apk, search for files with nfc in name and move/delete)

- Greenify heavy apps like Facebook, messenger apps...

- Use Startup Manager to disable startup from apps that you even don't know why they need to start at boot -.-

// And I'm using Xperia Keyboard, as stock keyboard doesn't support my language well. It uses a little bit more RAM than stock one but still no disappear :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sigmich:
Which NFC related files you deleted?

I found :

etc/nfcee_access.xml

Are there any others left? Is it safe to delete them?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alwaysadeel:
ask in that thread, this theme manager is suggested by slim team so i posted here

u r worried abt fb in kk, i cudnt get it to work even in gb or ics. it made the fone laggy and unresponsive. i have never used fb app in my fone. so my advice leave fb app :)

search for these

NFC Support PRODUCT_PACKAGES

libnfc \

libnfc_jni \

Nfc \

Tag \

com.android.nfc_extras

charge the battery to 100% and leave for some time, it happens sometimes on every rom. no need to worry :)
