10x for the explanation sir! :good:

In this case is it possible to port PhoneBook & SemcPhone from Z2 firmware to CM11.

Or can somebody give advice for porting of this stuff?
[Sony Cross-Device General] MarioJerkovic:
Yes it is, but its too many problems and it's hard work... As you need to port all telephony Framework and telephony dependency's.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Achotjan:
Hi, everyone,

We Xperia Overlay Dev Team, had done many sacrifices to edit our policy to fit with XDA rules

we released the firmware for free (wich was a payd firmware)

We had asked to XDA the following engagement :

- Re add back my Recognized Developer Status,

- Make Xperia Overlay recognized Custom Rom

- A Portal Post about Xperia Overlay and our Team .

- Sony Cross Developement section for all sony devices .

Which Parts has been respected by XDA :

- Sony Cross Developement section for all sony devices .

Which Parts has not being respected by XDA :

- Re add back my Recognized Developer Status,

- Make Xperia Overlay recognized Custom Rom

- A Portal Post about Xperia Overlay and our Team .

now we want to ask XDA Developers Forum, Pleas Respect your part of work cause we had respected our engagement

One of our Team members [MENTION=4735797]MarioJerkovic[/MENTION] asked the following to the XDA news writer :

-Wrote a post about Xperia Overlay Firmware that is now available for the 2011 line of Xperia,

Xperia overlay firmware is a recreated version of Sony Xperia Overlay Firmware that is merged to AOSP

and provide Unofficial Sony Firmware Upgrade for legacy Sony devices .

The response that [MENTION=4735797]MarioJerkovic[/MENTION] received from the news writer was :

- you have done a great job but there is a problem we are not allowed to publish custom ROMs on the portal

Now I want to ask XDA news writers why did cyanogenmod AOKP and other custom roms having their places over the portal ?

why they are recognized ?

why port of Sony media apps, port of some Sony Xperia firmware overlay parts have their place on Xda portal

and why a firmware which had all Sony Xperia z2 firmware functionalities doesn't had his place over the portal ?

why it can not be put on XDA Custom Rom's section as recognized custom ROM ?

we Xperia Overlay Dev Team are asking to Xda users ( which are getting the firmware for free ) to pleas show support about our Hard Work which took almost years of code writing to have what we have today and ask to Xda and all other forums over the world to recognize and know about Xperia Overlay Firmware that we Developed, if there is some problems with our policy which are in conflict with what we ask, we can review our policy to be officially recognized

99,9% of Xda users don't know about Xperia Overlay Firmware

they don't even know that that is possible so please help us be sharing our Facebook page :

https://www.facebook.com/xperiaoverlay

and this Xperia Overlay thread over all forumes and android related websites :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799730

and of course don't forget that our paid firmware is free for all Xda users but if you are using the firmware and want to see improvement and new updates and better work from us please consider to donate us we really worked hard for this and put a lot of time and love for this firmware

cheers

you are completety right.The source of xperia overlay is not public.Developers musst give source code when architjan wants to see this firmware being officially recognized by XDA with Portal news
[Sony Cross-Device General] rasoooli:
[MENTION=5434690]afah_me[/MENTION]

Please explain about 700mb space !!
[Sony Cross-Device General] ch3mn3y:
Its probably coz cache and system are smaller than stock and dalvik is stored in data (normally its stored in cache). And thats why u have used 150mb - its space used by system apps' cache files

Hi, thanks for the information, however our Team already know that,

the Firmware here (even if rewrited by our team) is Sony Mobile Comunication creation and its under licence

we can share a build rom but not the source code of it as its against the Sony Mobile Comunication policy

however as I (Owner and Main Developer responcable for Xperia Overlay) told, we learn and we adapt in maximal of our capacity in legal term

so that being sayd i will add the source code of Xperia Overlay Kernel and what has ben used to compil it and a tutorial on how to build Xperia Overlay kernel

we could even make a tutoriel about the rom wich is simple to explai but hard to do ...

we actualy use sony binary not source code wich we use to make source code and we just decompile all framework files take all informations and rewrite all that to JAVA and merge with AOSP

if we had the source code then we will publish, but we have a binary firmware, wich we used to have source then again binary, wich mean we can release as source code of the rom the integrality of Sony Xperia Firmware that we used to make our soure and our firmware

will it be enough ?

we will respect every part of GPL pleas help us on how we can do it right as our firmware is diferent from other firmwares and automaticly need diferent approach

as work like we done ther wasent in whole xda and of caurse no gpl for those type of work when we need as developers follow 2 GPL one of XDA one of Sony Mobile Comunication

cheers

[Sony Cross-Device General] TAL333:
I am rather sure that what Achotjan is relating is simply that Sony Roms with their proprietary code are published and downloaded hundreds of times per day on XDA. XDA allows this without issue. Sony still hasn’t and likely never will disclose camera source code for 2011 devices. If Achotjan has found a way to interpret some of Sony’s unpublished code and implements portions of that interpreted code in a Rom, while withholding the publication of any code that might be considered proprietary by Sony due to possible legal ramifications, it certainly shouldn’t be viewed as a violation of the GPL in any fashion by anyone possessing even a modicum of reasonable intelligence. In simpler terms, leave it be; leave the guy alone, move along, move along.
[Sony Cross-Device General] afah_me:
look here... :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] gamzekal:
You musst give source code(ex:github or other repositories) for officially recognized by XDA with Portal news.But you have sony binary.I think your poll question is doesnt metter for xda.

What about others xperia devices?For example 2012 line.Xda has got really brilliant developers.I heard that ,somenone has ported latest samsung kitkat firmware to galaxy S3.I think,you need developers to port other xperia devices.We are waiting of your rom.I understand now you better(sony policy).At least you can share sony binary via p.m with other xperia developers.This is your choice.

sincerely
[Sony Cross-Device General] Achotjan:
the sony (binary ) as you say sir, is nothink other then the official firmware of xperia z2 that can be found here on xda or any other site not hard to finde

you are talking about Galaxy S4 rom ported on S3, interesting.. but how did you hear that cause of portal news , what we want is a article about xperia overlay so pepole can atleast know that it exist.

we need to know wich device are intersting pepole , if we creat the firmware by working hard for a device and pepole dont care about that device it will be a problem, we want that all xperia users could know about this firmware and our goal it to support all xperias

but when we get ignored like we are today its a problem

i dont see utility of source code for those firmwares, when on portal you see "new firmware released for xperia z2 wich improvet .... etc etc..."

its a news about firmware update, here is the same think the only think that is changing is thatjant the firmware is not made by sony but Xperia Overlay DevTeam, we made a payd software free for xda isnt that enught to show our wich to colaborat and our interest to comunity ?

i uderstand that those situations are hard but hardly doned think had hard way before the succes and we still work and will work hard for all who belive in us and support us

and lets being honest i saw that you discontinued your work because of xperia overlay : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52015597

isn't it the real reason why you voted negatively on the pool and writing this post ? you could just ask to be part of xperia overlay dev team and help us with app layout problems that we facing with all new firmwares instead of discontinuing a work and then negatively voteon a poll

cheers

[Sony Cross-Device General] vj.xtha:

I fond some problem.

when I view picture on album scrolling for a while, I get FC, It happen every time I view picture,

but if I fond picture that I wanted to view then viewed and close quickly it didn't happen. I will attach log.

and Very Important problem:D

Why alarm clock didn't wake me up? when if found alarm didn't wake me then I pressed power button to view time, Now it just woke me up:eek:

though it hardly to happen.

for firmware performance, when I play even this firmware have 100 MB free ram,

I feel smooth than I played on ICS firmware that have 170 MB free ram.:good:

Personally, I think it doesn't matter this firmware have low ram if it performance comparable to other firmware.

sorry for my english.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Achotjan:
thanks for the report,

for the FC we will identify and fix it dont worry, but fo alarm clock i know why it hapening.

you probably activated Super Stamina,

you need to go on stamina settings and add the app that you want to be active when your screan is off ;)

thatshow stamina work it stop all unnecessery app and services when screen is off

[MENTION=5080841]alinolaw71[/MENTION] you are Senior Member and you must to know that FM radio is not possible for our devices running KitKat.

Nobody have drivers for FM chip on our devices.

That applies to camera drivers too.

AOSP, CM11 etc. KitKat ROMs never got good camera and FM radio.

hi [MENTION=2482775]Achotjan[/MENTION]

if i understand so that you want to see your work in xda Portal news as "not new firmware released for xperia z2 wich improvet .... etc etc..".But there is some problems about it.Your firmware is based on AOSP but with sony apps,frameworks,libs etc.Xda Portal releases that as for example:official Z2 firmware is ported to AOSP 4.4.2.About negative voting this is my opinion.You are very good developer.

I have written to you personal messages about joining to team before 3 months.But you didnt reply it.I have ported some sony feautures to xperia p.My rom is irrelevant with your rom.I have saw free version of xperia overlay in xda.After than I have stopped my rom development.Your rom is real port of z2 firmware.You have released semc debrand engine for Xperia P based on cm9.I thought that you makes the same thing.I am currently busy with uni exams.I want to help to you but i cant yet.I offer to you my friend [MENTION=4913184]percy_g2[/MENTION].He helps to Xperia Overlay DEV Team about bugfixes,layoutfixes etc...He is excellent developer.I have written this to you about him too.But you didnt reply.I support your work.Dont forget i have donated latest work too from xperiaoverlay.com.I have bought a code for it.You can look at credits on my rom.I have wrote everything which works i have used

WOW man I must say that this ROM is the first kk ROM that didn't let me down. Most of the kk ROM that I tried is unstable and unusable for daily use but your ROM is pretty stable for daily use brooo !!!

Well, it will be better if you add more customization like perfomance so we can OC and I think it will be better if you make the background of the notification bar full black, cause transparent black makes it laggy ( you know when we swipe down the statusbar you make it transparent black )

Well, thx again bro !

Excuse me, can you teach me how to change the color of the expanded statusbar/ notification bar ?

In the SystemUI you amek it transparent when we pull it down, I think that makes it laggy when we pulled it down.....

I've decompile the SystemUI.apk but I don't know which file to edit, I don't know if I only have to change the hex number or even dealing with .9png files. I think I'm gonna deal with .9png though

Can you give me the guide to change the expanded statusbar to black ? ( o yeah I've searched around xda but I only found it different, not being specific for xperia devices )

[Sony Cross-Device General] ƒεηιx:
You need to create a ext4 partition in sd card for this Go here

partition Sd card

After creating Partition you need to flash this

Working Int2Ext for Xperia 2011 DON'T NEED TO FLASH ROM AGAIN JUST CLEAR DALVIK AND CACHE PARTITON BEFORE FLASHING THIS SCRIPT

If you get signal loss Just install Link2sd after flashing the script... Open Link2sd, give super user permissions and Link2sd will automatically create scripts and ask you to reboot.... thats is..... you should be able to get signals after reboot.... You can even uninstall Link2Sd after rebooting....
