Agree with everything being said here. One thing you can try is disable the xiaomi download engine.. In the settings of the download program. Sometimes helps a bit, but not much..

Has activated SMS account in Hangouts, and SMS app twice per day switch to default....

Screen blinking blue if install any theme...

and FC in accessebility menu is there.

One question....I like the MIUI dialer at all, can it be exported to another ROM? I mean not only dialpad, but trinhe Incoming\Outgoing call interface
[RAZR HD Android Development] zelendel:
Simply put no. It needs the miui framework to work.

Now bypassing the theme restriction on installing 3rd party themes is ok. I dont want to hear one more word about getting paid themes for an IOU. This is still warez and will be treated as such.

Also I do not see any kernel source code linked in the op. Make it happen captin.
[RAZR HD Android Development] swapyworld:
i am on 4.1.2 ....in order to flash this rom ...do i need KK bootloader?

or i can flash custom recovery and su.zip and then this rom directly?
[RAZR HD Android Development] iBolski:
The title says it all (4.4). You have to be on the KK bootloader in order for this to work.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tqr:
Is it fine if I cite: https://github.com/CyanogenMod?query=kernel ?

Also the dialer and other components can be exported to other firmware; That's what MIUI lite is. it does not 'need' MIUI framework to be present but the functions it calls on do need to be present in a self-contained sense; even then when you port a single-app from MIUI for example and place it in a firmware that ALSO uses .mtz it will still theme accordingly for some reason; I really do not know why.

Edit 2: MIUI is contained entirely inside of the APP and Priv-app folder; the framework-miui-res contains resolution specific things and some 'default' theme components; but mostly the only difference between MIUI frameworks and non-MIUI frameworks are the MIUI frameworks have generic flags to call MIUI APK functionality

Edit 3: This firmware uses the stock CM kernel, MIUI is not a source built firmware even at Xiaomi they do not build but patch it to pre-existing firmwares

Edit 4: Xiaomi posts WSM-Tools on their website themselves; is it really Warez to make people aware that it exists? Outside of China there is no way to get MiCredits beside to buy from some middle-man which is not a sanctioned thing so they really don't care about it as much as you would think; and yes I would know

Found here on XDA,its from the great dev [MENTION=3877378]psyke83[/MENTION]

Current release: 3.0.3b [07/08/2014]

Hey folks,

I'm releasing my own modification of [MENTION=1409539]OlegKrikun[/MENTION]'s simple2ext, focused specifically on providing CM11.0 support and addressing some concerns with filesystem corruption that occurred in previous versions.

3.0.3b (07/08/2014):

Enhancement: support for moving application libraries

Enhancement: when re-assigning the dalvik-cache, copy the existing data instead of clobbering. Saves an unnecessary dexopt pass.

Bug fix: make sure that the boot script doesn't execute fully if /sd-ext is already mounted. Will prevent issues when upgrading S2E.

Rewrite boot script with more generic function to reduce complexity. The script will now ensure that the /sd-ext folder permissions always match the permissions of the corresponding source folders.

3.0.3a (06/08/2014):

Implemented support for CM11.0

Removed filesystem tuning (tune2fs) in mount script, as it can cause filesystem corruption

Removed prebuilt e2fsck binary - always use the system binary for maximum compatibility

Removed "mount as ext4" option - the script now mounts /sd-ext as ext4 by default. This is the most stable configuration for CyanogenMod, and avoids user confusion.

Minor enhancement - when the app needs to install the mount script, it will also execute the script. This avoids the need to reboot your phone after initial installation of S2E; the app will be immediately functional.

Caveats:

Only tested on CyanogenMod 11. May not work on older revisions, as I removed some compatibility code.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
Thanks for your reply. In general i agree with you that the most stable and responsive (fluid) was 10.4.1.B.0.109 on SGP311/312 and 10.4.1.B.0.101 on SGP321. However you can perform fresh install of 10.5.A.0.230 KitKat, make some performance-wise adjustments/remove-freeze bloatware and you will have practically the same performance. As i did it, i can't distinguish between 4.4 and 4.3 in performance at least visually, however it shows a little bit less score in Antutu, 21500 for JB, 20800 for my adjusted KK, but it doesn't really matter.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] ColdSunNC:
This is a great post. Thank you. I noticed the performance since installing KitKat has been sluggish too. I haven't tried optimizing it much, haven't had time, but I'm going to try that before downgrading to 4.3. The animations and transitions are so sluggish its annoying. Makes me want a new tablet to be honest heheh.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] lyubor:
Great post! Although I'm still loving 4.4. I really missed immersive mode since I've had Nexus phones.. Anyway after fixing the settings app the other 'glitches' in kitkat weren't noticeable. Battery life's awesome since most of the not needed things are disabled/uninstalled.

I get 3-4 days with moderate to heavy use with about 9-10 hours of screen on time. It's really an indoor tablet for me so the brightness can be as low as minimum with no impact on visibility.

I bought my tablet without thinking 6 months ago but I honestly have 0 regrets. It's a truly amazing multimedia device.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Dzhedaj:
Too bad Cyanogenmod 11 is in a poor state with still buggy nightlies and no proper milestone releases...

And I agree Kitkat feels a bit sluggish on the tablet, especially when you compare it to a Snapdragon 801 phone.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
Snapdragon itself it a way way more faster chip. Also Sony don't really bother with OS optimizations for old devices.

Thanks for the write-up.

I'm a noob that's researched this to death, and this adds some clarity to whats becoming more murky as I read.

Will probably try to optimize 4.4.2 1st before attempting your link (I'm hoping a couple of other posters on this thread can point me in the right direction - question forthcoming :) but could you clarify 'or flash a stock ftf and root it with towelroot'? Sorry for the noob question, but 'root after flash' and 'what specific stock ftf' has me lost. Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Do you have a link to the method by which you optimize?

Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
i installed 4.4.4 which is already optimized by sony. Antutu benchmark +2000 scores comparing to 4.4.2:victory:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] gmore1:
You've given me even more homework, but I greatly appreciate the response :)

I currently have a stock (unlocked/unrooted) Tab Z and if I understood the 4.4.4 posts I've read, the best method to keep root(towelroot for 4.4.2+older) and files is install via OTA which requires an unlocked bootloader, which requires a code from Sony so.... a brief summary of steps to keep my unit as 'open/versatile' as possible here would be....

1:Get code from Sony

2:Unlock bootloader

3:Install Flashtool and root via towelroot (the order here is not important?)

4:Back up files

5:Install 4.4.4 via OTA

Done?

And then I'm left to be able to move back and/or install older firmware?

If this is a PITA to answer, I understand - appreciate any help
[Xperia Tablet Z General] GretaLewd:
Be AWARE !

Before unlocking bootloader BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR TA PARTITION OR YOU WILL LOOSE DRM LICENCE KEYS FOREVER !!! :eek:

Google "Sony DRM TA backup" to find more information.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
no! no need to unlock bootloader to root device and get OTA.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] gmore1:
OK.

I won't be 'developing' anytime soon, so no need to unlock. I just thought in order to access anything newer than 4.4.2 OTA from Sony would require it.

Thank you both and sorry again for the ?'s, but this has been WAY more involved than the days of rooting my Photon :)

Will continue my research on OTA 4.4.4.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

OK,

No 4.4.4 for SGP312 yet so I guess just be patient and make sure I'm rooted and backed up?

Any link for optimizing in the meantime still appreciated - many searches and I can't find anything.

I was aware of 4.4.4 via FT and PC, but based on a post I had read in another thread, thought only OTA would allow one to maintain root after 4.4.2...

I should have read further into that thread.

This should do it -Thanks again Rootk1t
[Xperia Tablet Z General] LeeC22:
Can I just clarify... in the first post, it says "On an SGP311 what you typically enable is the following..." Do I take it that should say disable, not enable?

I also noticed that I don't have B2bCustInstaller, but I do have B2bCertInstaller and B2bCustomSetupWizard. Are either of those two, the same as you mentioned?

This latest update (10.5.1.A.0.283) has introduced some annoyances with video playback, so I am trying to get rid of useless apps etc... in the hope that one of them clears things up.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] najoor:
1- Thanks for pointing out the typo. I fixed it in the text.

2- You don't see B2bCustInstaller because Sony disables it by default, but it is still in your system. Leave the other two apps be. They will be dormant.

3- What annoyances are you referring to? I may be able to help if you are more specific.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] LeeC22:
My tablet is primarily a video playback device for the music videos I collect. Before this update, video playback was smooth, after this update, it's just not quite right. What makes me think it's the update, is that I use MX Player Pro, and the video playback isn't smooth in that either. The Sony Movies app is all over the place with playback. One update it's fine, next update it's bad, then it might be okay again, but this update it's just not quite right. It was during a bad period that I decided to get MX Player Pro, which seemed much better... but now it's suffering the same problem.

To most people, it would probably look fine, but as a graphic artist, I find I'm very susceptible to the slightest irregularity in playback. As it affected two players, I presumed that it was a background service or something that was affecting resources enough to affect video decoding.

I would also just like to say thanks for providing that list. My tablet used to take just over an hour to recharge 10% of the battery life back. In just over 6 hours last night, it recharged 80%. So that's a major plus point in my book, so thank you for your efforts. :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] najoor:
I'm not sure you can fix this by just disabling background processes. Sony's Kitkat release is slower at its core than 4.3 and that can be seen and quantified in an Antutu benchmark. Give it your best shot but your best bet is to downgrade to 4.3.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] LeeC22:
You're right, I disabled loads of stuff last night, and the problem frustratingly remains.

I'd ideally downgrade to 4.2, because I think 4.3 is where Sony removed the screenshot option (before cunningly adding it back in 4.4 as a "new feature"), isn't it? I use that a lot, because my eyes aren't that good, and when you hit a website that blocks pinch-zooming, or you get an app that has text that is too small, like Google Earth, I frequently need to capture the screen and zoom in.

Of course, the problem with this solution is that downgrading to a specific rom version, for a specific version of the tablet, in a specific territory, is not that simple. I'll have to spend some time collecting the required files and instructions, then wait for a good day (mentally), to give it a go.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
Try flashing 4.4.4 with wipes. It will be practically as fast as 4.3.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] ze7zez:
Great analysis, based on lengthy research.

[MENTION=5769394]najoor[/MENTION], you can expect that you will do the update based on the conclusions of using android 5.0.2?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinjo1023:
I've been flashing custom ROMs for a few years now and I've noticed something that I've always been meaning to ask about. At first a lot of ROMs are great. As daily drivers they work with very few if any bugs. Now I'm talking "stable" ROMs, not beta or nightly. But over time it seems like they become buggy. Does anyone else experience this? Even if you don't flash the updated kernel or newest gapps.... it just starts to get buggy. Anyone else experience this?

What's up with an Ubuntu rom? Can it be done? I think it'd be awesome to try.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Putra:
The old way to change your 1st splash screen uses the awizard prog or the splash_bmp_to_wizard prog. It was working before on the older ROMs.

Thanx to jesterz, mwiberg & lvsw & others, we now have many new ROMs to choose from. Unfortunately, the above method to change the 1st splash screen no longer works on these new ROMs. It always gives the ItWriteDisk error.

After crawling through the Wizard forums, I discovered they have found a way. Can't really remember the threads (there were several of them). For those who want to change their splash, just download this file: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Splash_images/SplashScreenStuff.zip and follow the instructions included to the letter.

Warning: some hex editing is involved.

- all credits to the guys over at the Wizard forum.

PS: to change your 2nd splash, it is a simple matter of saving your image as a 240x320 png file, renaming it as welcomehead.96.png and copying into the windows folder of your device.

Good luck!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:

Could we incorporate the above link method from wizard to prophet??
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Putra:
Yes, the upgrade utility in the zip file is for the Wizard. So what I did was to use the upgrade utility for the Prophet instead. Use the G3 or G4 version depending on your device.

There should be the following files:

enterbootloader.exe

nk.nbf (your created splash imge)

romupdateutility.exe (G3 or G4 version depending on your device)

ruugetinfo.exe

ruuresource.dll

Somehow for me, the romupdateutility-novendor doesn't work. So to get the romupdateutility for my device, I extracted it from a full ROM such as RUU-Prophet-G3-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-b1

Hope this clarifies things a bit
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Putra:
The method in that thread is similar to my 1st post. Maybe the utilities they used are different. All the steps prior to the flash are the same. They are for converting a bmp file to a nb file and then to a nk.nbf to be used for flashing. It should work on the Prophet PROVIDED you use the prophet update utility (not the Wizard's) to flash.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Putra:

Pardon the newbie question, but how does one extract the RUU (and the other 4 files) from the full ROM? I have Jester's G3 r1 file but it's an exe, not a zip. Is there a site from where I can get the latest Prophet G3 RUU package?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Putra:
RUU extraction

Let's see if I remember this correctly:

1) double-click your .exe file -> it should start up the ROM update window as normal.

2) Go to windows/temp folder. You should see the files that the exe file extracted. (if you cannot find it, do a search for *.nbf or one of the other files - the file would be in the same directory). Maybe it is in documents and settings/user/local settings/temp in Win XP. I can't remember exactly as I'm on Vista now.

3) copy the RUU file to a separate folder.

There you have it.... unless I miss something.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] JimsEvilTwin:
You were right, Putra, it was the D&S\...\Temp folder. Thanks!!!
