CM based roms are sensitive to tethering with system apps. You got to set permissions the right way.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Does the web browser need to be installed?

I'm curious, how exactly do you disable Google Analytics?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You do need to instal the original web browser unless you use something else. Google Analytics? You decompile an app, go to the corresponding XML file and change "true" to "false." Or if you want to delete it you delete several files...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
When you say "decompile" do you mean unzip the APK?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
For future reference, please tell me the right way to set permissions. Would rebooting into recovery and setting permissions this way be safer? I don't have a strong background in these things but I am happy to follow instructions.

Also, I installed xperia_launcher3.apk that I found on xda. Its a light 1MB launcher and sort of gives me best of both worlds in terms of sony appearance. Do you recommend making this a system app and removing trebuchet or will trebuchet just be sleeping while xperia launcher is running as the default?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
No. There is a lot more to it. Just search xda on how to decompile an app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Don't ever fix permissions on custom roms for locked bootloaders, you will never boot. With the new launcher installed, try to freez trebuchet, if everything works, then delete it. Yes, it makes sense to put the launcher in system with right permissions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
thanks a lot for the guidance. I will keep that in mind about fixing permissions.. big no no. :)

too bad the xperia launcher is no longer being updated...

I really want a cm rom but with the same look and feel of sony xperia launcher ui... that's why I always go back to stock based rom...

any good xperia launcher recommendation that will work on cm10?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
this is stable .. i used it for a day. I added stock sony widgets from the same page and it all works as it should.

the one down side so far is that the unread counter is a separate app that isnt free. I didnt buy it.

Slimbean by Olivier with my modifications. It is the lightest of all CM based roms, has more ram and has no google analytics at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Then how do you fix permissions on a custom ROM? I've found that fixing permissions every few months fixes forced close (FC) problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You can't fix permissions on a custom rom for locked bootloaders. If you don't install rougue apps, there is no need to fix permissions. If you experience f/cs, you should clear settings in individual apps. If that doesn't help, you could try to restore system partition of your rom (of course it needs to be backedup first).

Bug:

Sound does not come out of earphones/headphones when plugged in.

is there any fix?

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Does anyone else have it? You are not using third party audio mode? Check dsp manager settings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
I am using earphones to listen to music without problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I thought so. This guy likes to use third party audio modes, which may or may not work on different roms. These modes are questionable at the least: they appear to increase base/loudness, but in reality they add distortions and noise.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
actually i strayed from audio mods after it didnt work multiple times....

its a clean installation with only a few apps installed. The only root applications that are in effect are adaway, greenify, busybox and sd mounter.

my other apps were restored using flashtool apk installer.

note i also have cm10 gapps even though you hate it so much. but i doubt THAT would effect the audio.

Not sure which apps will effect the sound :/

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Have you tried another headset? Tried DSP manager settings? Go to system settings/sounds and check the volume. I think there might be additional settings in the rom where you choose separate volume controls. Also check notification bar if anything is disabled there. As you can see, others don't have this problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I just noticed you have a different busybox, which could give you problems. You are not supposed to upgrade/update busybox, because it is different in this rom (static as opposed to dynamic). This is required for the rom to boot on locked bootloaders. If you shut down your phone with this updated busybox, you probably won't be able to boot again. So, I would do a clean install. Also, try to use the headset before adding additional apps. Neither adaway nor greenify needs to be installed in system. Also, I think falshtool restores system apps only, which shouldn't do, because you can overwrite CM apps. I use Titanium backup, which puts apps in data directory as opposed to system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
oddly enough it works with other headphones/earphones

but....the ones that dont work were working on your Slim ION Honami Cyanogen Way LB rom literally before i wiped it. But i guess the Classic Apple earphones must not agree with CM10 because the same issue would occur in McGezz's CM 10 rom.

thank you

Known bug on all cm based roms.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
permissions

Another warning on permissions: while you can freely use fix permissions script in stock and custom ROMs, you can't do the same on custom ROMs for locked boot loaders unless you modify the script. If you examine update script in meta-inf, you will see custom permissions for locked boot loaders scripts. Those scripts don't exist in regular ROMs. And if you fix permissions on custom ROMs for locked boot loaders, you wouldn't be able to boot. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't have a clue and we do have 1 or 2 "clueless dudes" on this board. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
So what's different?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
It is impossible to say, as CM hasn't released CM10 since July 2013. All I can say is that this is a build from the latest source. Also, as I mentioned in the OP, I have incorporated fixes in the code prior to building. By the way, the completely new thing is that now LTE/GSM network is default.

It could be a placebo effect, but I gave up on Slimbean after trying this one...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
This Rom works awesome! Im hooked. Gonna test everything I possibly can, thanks!

So far running for about 12 hours. No major issues to report. The HDMI works, but doesn't display the entire screen. Apps that control led do not work, such as the illumination app.

A few tips, for gps you need to go to location settings/source check "use internal gps"

For pc adb to work, go to development settings/root access select "apps and adb"

call voice blurred

I have been using this rom CM10_Aoba_LB.zip quite a while and its good . But sometimes its buggy that when i call , the other caller party hears my "blurred" voice . I dono why but when i reboot the fone and call he says its ok . I was planning to go to your "January 28: New Version Slim ION Honami Cyanogen Way UB/LB" due to this call issue bug but now i see your update . Which rom should i use "cm 10 for locked bootloaders" or "cm 10 for unlocked bootloader" or "January 28: New Version Slim ION Honami Cyanogen Way UB/LB" . By the way am using Ion "Lt28 h" unlocked bootloader .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
CM for unlocked bootloaders includes a custom kernel. CM for locked bootloaders is patched to work with stock kernel. If I were you, I would first try CM for unlocked... Just remember, if you would afterwards want to switch to the other version (for locked bootloaders), you would need to flash .211 stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:

Or so I thought they got moved, after moving them (said move successful) I cannot see them when I look in root folder
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
This rom is for locked bootloaders, so there is no boot image, as you use stock kernel. If your bootloader is unlocked, get my other cm10 for unlocked bootloaders. Also, this has nothing to do with GAPPS, which you just install by recovery flashing.

You have a TWRP recovery in this rom. When you boot and have blue led on, press volume key a few times and you will enter recovery. Then you can do whatever you want. CWM conflicts with TWRP and therefore is not recommended to install.

Yes it lights up blue, but when i press and hold the volume key its switches to purple and then just boots the phone.

Optimumpro, you think you could figure out how to get notification light to blink in this rom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
This would be nice.

I tested this Rom thoroughly, only founded 3 glaring issues.

1) The led notification blink

2) hdmi doesn't display correctly, it's zoomed in, and there's no settings for it

3) Call waiting not working, I missed allot of calls that I was never notified.

Other than that, this rom is super reliable and fast. Sometimes I miss call recording and small apps, but that's rare
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Its not a part of stock rom boss :cool: cos jellybean stock flash ftf file doesnot have it . I think it maybe a part of honami framework and mini apps maybe.

As mentioned by [MENTION=3701903]Bugly Astard[/MENTION] :good: , i hope there is still more who miss in line call recorder
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
Been working great! I deleted some unused system apps, and got this set up nice. I'm loving this rom.

Little warning, don't try to modify pre_hw_config.sh for brighter leds, you will get bootloop. I really wish there was a way, because they aren't very bright. I also couldn't get dual recovery to work, also bootloops, and that modifies pre_hw_config.sh, so makes sense.

Im using zeam launcher with this rom, and my Ion has never been faster. HTC eleganceX is the theme I recommend.

After playing around with all the newest phones, I think even this "old" cm10 has better interface and features. Its brilliant.

To record calls either use voice recorder and put call on speaker phone, or download tiny apps, and have the recorder ready. Works pretty good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
I think I successfully brightened the LEDs by editing the step2.sh. Same settings in that file. Almost positive that's what I did when I was on this rom.

Does the same happen with a headset? If not, then it could be a Sony issue. After all, ION has only one speaker...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
Headset works fine. I flashed stock, problem is gone, then flashed cm10, problem back. I also did some Google search, found some other phones have this issue with cm10.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dad2dj:
Maybe try installing Viper4Android. Might get lucky.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
The headset problem occurs for some specific brands

i.e. Apple Earphones do not work properly if you simply put it into the audio port.

for them to work, you must push down on the volume key ON the earphones, and the insert the tip into the phone. Then you release and it should work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
