There is a Kernel boot.img inside the ROM package, do I need to flash it using flashtool? because the phone has a Locked Booloader.

Edit: I installed on stock Kernel itelf, it worked. Will the regular Sony Walkman work? if yes please provide me the link. Thank you

Thanks bro, but download links are not working there.

While backing up ROM, it gets stuck while backing up DATA, does anybody have any idea why?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
hello friends, i have sp without sd card, can i installl slimkat on it ? i read that it uses sd card as internal memory.

also how is gaming performance ? and everyday use features ? any annoying bugs ?

this is the first time i will try to flash a custom rom on my sp
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
You can't use properly this rom without SD card, and you can't install any other rom after this one without SD.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Silver Wx:
Not enough memory?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
iam sorry, but i don't understand what you mean with :

"and you can't install any other rom after this one without SD."

also op, if you pplease don't mind and clearify things for me please :( what is the build that i can install on my sp without sd card ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
I don't understand what you don't understand.

Because there isn't internal SD partition in rom, if you haven't got external SD card you can't place the rom zip file anywhere.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
ohhh, then also i won't be able to install anything, won't be able to take photos or anything, beceause the phone ill think i don't have anymemory :o

about flshing, flashtool will do the job, i install stock 207 then install revoery again :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Fido7:
from what i remember 8.2 doesn't have the partition tweak
[Xperia SP Android Development] antkalaitzakis96:
I have another problem..The screen wakes veeery slow when I am on call..proximity doesn't work as it should..any fix?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
that happens in stock firmware too, the screen takes about 2 seconds to wake up after you finish a call, or move your ears away from the sensor
[Xperia SP Android Development] antkalaitzakis96:
yes I know..but now the delay is far more than 2 seconds..
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
you must have ur sd card because you can't access internal memory, all ur activities such as: install apps, download, bluetooth transfer... occur on sd card

This rom is great, no bug for daily using (until now, i don't know what about the feature, because before, i have used XperianZe and Paranoid, but after using some weeks, it had some bugs), battery life and Ram management are fine, gaming performance good too :D

Sorry for my bad english :p
[Xperia SP Android Development] Pachanka:
i have got a little problem with camera. i don't see photos ingallery and i don't see photos in sdcard/dcim when i plug USB cable.

If i use ES Browser Files, i see them in /sdcard/DCIM/camera.

an idea ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] millikp:
I see them fine on mine. It's probably hidden and you must have set ES File Explorer to see hidden files. Try ticking the "show hidden files" on your computer, or unhide them using ES File Explorer.

Query to those who have unlocked bootloaders: Has any of you used a custom kernel with this rom?
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
could someone post a mirror for rom as taking to long to download on dev-host thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] aniym:
I am experiencing crashes when using Google Chrome browser. The screen goes blank, but the notification bar is still visible. Pressing the power button doesn't do anything, and the phone has to be soft reset by opening the back door and pressing the OFF button. Stock Android browser works fine.

Anyone else experiencing this? I am on Build 8.8 dated October 21, 2014 23:38
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
i'm using that version too but i don't face that problem, you should try re-install GG chrome :)

does this rom have dynamic/tinted status bars

Sudden battery drop...

Hi there. I can tell from mine experience that this is the most slick ROM for XSP :). It is beautiful, fast, battery friendly, full of customisations, etc...

However, I`m experiencing strange bug/behavior of the battery.

After restart, it /the battery/ suddendly drop down from for example 50% to something around 20-30%... This thing happened only after restart. Here are some screenshoots... Any ideas ?!?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
yes, gapps worked :) i'm using them ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqua9teen1:
Smooth and fast ROM. It good for gaming. SlimKat + william kernal v7 + faux sound + faux123 + viper4android = awesome. Thumb up developer.
[Xperia SP Android Development] bojantanasic:
Is it possible to backup more than 500 contacts,cm11 have this limitation?

With Slimkat yes, no limitation:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] rdlegy:
From where can I download the rom, because I download it from the link in first page with 20kb/s
[Xperia SP Android Development] aniym:
Thanks for the tip! Reinstall fixed the problem!:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
I don't think so. What do you use for backup?
[Xperia SP Android Development] bojantanasic:
Right now I'm on stock rom because of that, I want to backup contact in .vcf file and I don't want to use third party app from google play because of privacy and compatibility, when I want to restore to another rom....

Is there any solution for this stupid limitation?:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gayan:
FM transmitter

Guys! Did anyone try out the fm transmitter. ? How is the quality. Never knew the xperia SP had a transmitter built in :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
you're welcome, and don't forget to hit thank :fingers-crossed:

I don't know exactly what you mean but i used .vcf file before and it worked fine, but my contacts are about 2xx people :rolleyes:

Sorry for my bad english :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] bojantanasic:
If you have more than 500 than it's not possible to backup contact's with standard app.And I think that is a Google stupid restriction.

All 4.4. based on AOSP and CM roms (except Slimkat:)) have that restrictions.

I try this wonderful rom and backup don't have restriction of 500 contacts:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] fernoct:
Try this: use the phone until it turns off automatically after the battery is fully used. Then connect wall charger turn on after few mins and charge until it becomes 100% without interruptions.

You can use a battery caliberation app also but i don't trust them.
[Xperia SP Android Development] powercepyman:
I`ll try this, thus it is hard to achieve ;). Meanwhile I`ve switch to Pac-man-rom to see if this "bug" will happened again...

p..s I`ve been used Batt calibration to try to fix this but with no success...
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqua9teen1:
Hi

To the developer of Slimkat ROM I'm just want to say your ROM is awesome. It because I can install many games since the memory is merge. If I'm using other custom ROM, only a few games can be install but while using this ROM, a heavy games can be install :good:. BTW I made some adjustment in tweaking your ROM (REMOVED UNNECESSARY APPS ;) kernal and so on ) . Keep up the good work.
[Xperia SP Android Development] rdlegy:
From 2 months I am trying to make roms for ubl work on my phone,but they just don't. I have a super slow phone when I install them, very unresponsive touchscreen... Please I have no more things I can try. In these two months I tried everything. Locked bootloader roms are better, but they still aren't that smooth and after a few hours I need to restart the phone, because I get unresponsive touchscreen again. I really want kitkat on my phone, because stock sucks too much with so low ram. I beg you guys for help. I am exhausted of trying and trying
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gayan:
Install OS monitor and check the CPU usage. I also had same issues as you are facing. Found out Android System (System_server) was using the CPU nonstop and the CPU was always running at full speed. Anyways I installed Supersu and no frills cpu control and set the governer to on demand. Few hours later the problem went away. I don't know how but it was all fine after that. :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] powercepyman:
I`ve tested it. It works, but the phone /mine/ has to be literaly ot top of the radio reciever.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gayan:
I tested it too. It transmits in mono and the volume is a bit on the low side, apart from that no worries. Try plugging in a stereo cable or headphones. It acts as an antenna. I have a good range with a small stereo cable attached :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
Does the new update still needs a sd card ? I want to install but i am afraid it will use my sd card as internal storage...

Any feedback please?
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqua9teen1:
From the changelog it seem that bagyusz didn't state that he separate the internal and external memory. He just update the source code. So sd card still act as internal memory:D
[Xperia SP Android Development] fernoct:
Can someone confirm the below:

In CM, when you call someone, you can see they are in another call, because in the dialer, it says "CALLING (WAITING...)".*

Is it working on the SlimKat dialer also?
[Xperia SP Android Development] powercepyman:
Some screenshots..

Here are some screenshots from Slimkat on my XSP. A little gaming, internet, video... Havent got much time to play with it those two days, but still - nice battery life :).

I`ve been used Greenify, Kernel tweaker - max 1.566 GHz and weatley governor,

p.s. With this governor the ROM has almost zero battery drain when the screen goes off :).
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
your battery life is aweful on my xsp i get about 4 hours+20/30 min whenn browsing the internet on 3g, aand near 6 hears when on wifi ....

the only thing that kills my battery is when i play games, my phne will last 3 hours more or less depends on the game

when i compare my sp battery life to my friends xperia z1(3000ma) my battery is very similar, actually it outperforms it till 40-50% then mine starts to drop at a faster rate, but his battery seems to endure more under 50%

to sum it up, when his z1 is 26%, his time on screen will be about 4h 20 minuts( browsing on 3g network using messenger and facebook) whereas my sp in the same condition when it's battery is 26% it will have 3h 50 minuts time on screen

this is the case +- 10 minuts, of course the drop is more or less if he plays games, or just exploring the ui, using camera, etc... but usually when the screen is on mostly to check facebook lol :D

a side note, my roomate has xperia m2 and it's battery lasts more than Nokia 1100 , when my battery drops 3 percent his will drop 1 percent .... giving him 6-7 housr screen on when battery reaches 10% ... also his data is always on; bt i don't think it's important, beceause of stamina mode disconnects when screen is off

his m2 has ktikat 4.4.2
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqua9teen1:
That a great combo. For me I prefer using SmartassV2 governor and for i/o I used deadline. It save more battery (my preference :D p/s ignore it if u dont like it:p).
[Xperia SP Android Development] powercepyman:
Which app do you use for controlling the governor ? And... Smartass - isn`t this governor for custom kernels only - UB ? Cause I`m still on LBL...
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqua9teen1:
I used Fauxclock or faux123 kernel apk to control the governor. My phone is in unlocked bootloader so that why I can install william kernel v7. So xtra battery life :D.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Raffhell:
Hi, I switched to SlimKat yesterday, it seems to work now and fast on my LBL :3 Thanks alot for the cool rom ^^
[Xperia SP Android Development] fred_pitoizet:
Hi !

You use William kernel v7 on SlimKat, it's a kernel for stock based roms. Have you tried the William kernel v4.1 for CM11 based rom ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] N.Y.Gazz:
Hi.the williams kernel v 7 works fine on the slimkat but william kernel v4 does not work on slimkat.
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqua9teen1:
These CM11 (SLIMKAT) is for locked bootloader so it need stock kernel. William kernel v4 and v4.1 is only for cm11 rom that is for unlocked bootloader. While william kernel v7 is another custom stock kernel and it for unlocked bootloader and it compatible with these rom. Hope u know the difference. Never flash these custom kernel unless you unlock ur phone. Hope this answer ur question.
[Xperia SP Android Development] fred_pitoizet:
Thanks.

I've an unlocked bootloader.

Hey guys, i have used this rom for a couple months, but i feel my phone is hot (just a bit), when i'm playing game or using some apps at the same time (like fb and message) the temperature is above 40 celcius, is it ok? if not, how to fix it?

sorry for my bad english :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Rupant:
If it rises above 45 for most of time, i think it is not good. If yes please check your charger?
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Yup. That's pretty ****ty battery life. Although watching videos makes quite a difference as well. So that might explain his ****ty screen-on time. Also brightness.

I get more or less the same amount of battery performance from my XSP. I think that's the standard performance you can expect from this phone. A few of my friends bought an XSP when it first came out and they had mostly the same amount of battery performance as you and I.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamer4Life:
On 4.1.2 i get 1hour+ sxreen on time, you should try it, but it's an ugly rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] Fido7:
will this ROM receive any future updates? It's one of the most stable ROMs for Xperia SP and it will be a shame if it's abandoned :(

"Quiet Hours" not working

I am so used to "Quiet Hours" that I can't do without it anymore.

The Quiet Hours mode in this ROM doesn't work however. My phone is usually on vibrate and I turn on Quiet Hours from Quick Settings before going to bed. Turning it ON, however, only displays the icon next to my WiFi signal icon. But the LED indicator stays ON (on charge) and flashes if I get a notification during the night. Vibration doesn't get silenced either. Phone still vibrates when I receive phone calls or notifications. Even touch vibration doesn't get silenced.

Érintőképernyős probléma

Kedves Bagyusz!

Nekem karácsony óta van meg a telefon, teljesen meg voltam vele elégedve, egy okos, gyors, szép telefon.

Egy hete egyszercsak felélesztettem a kijelzőjét, és a képernyő egy középső sávja nem reagált semmiféle érintésre. Nagyon dühös voltam, újraraktam az egész telefont, mindent megpróbáltam, nem javult. Utána ovlastam itthoni és külföldi fórumokban, hogy ez egy gyakori hiba, van aki szerint a töltő okozza a gondot, van aki szerint az alumínium ház miatt van, én inkább az előzőre tippelnék, ugyanis vagy akkor hülyül meg ha épp töltöm, vagy ha már megvan hülyülve, és feldugom a töltőre, helyrejön.

Tök véletlenszerű az egész, van hogy hasnzálom egy darabig, aztán felélesztem a kijelzőt már nem működik, aztán magától helyre jön.

Ez a rom segíthet ezen a problémán? Ha szoftveres probléma akkor igen, nem? Vagy tudsz valami általános megoldást errE?

Köszönöm a segítségedet

xperia sp SlimKat; low wifi signal

Hi, I'm new here, and new with all those Android matters basically. I installed Slimkat and all is fine except wifi signal - which is not good as before. In earlier installed version I've changed in WCNSS_qcom_cfg ConnectivityThreshold number and all turned out great. After SlimKat installation, when I saw low wifi signal, I intended to make exact the same change - but there is no ConnectivityThreshold line at all.

Do you have suggestion that could help?
