No heating here, even when running games. :good:

it's the decrease in voltage that saves lots of power and prevents heating. :)

Does anyone else know if the SMS notification had icon issues from the beginning on? :D

Need to know this, cause it saves me a lot of work if I just can merge some lines of code from a previous version. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
It was present in the first version, but i remember it being fixed at one point, but unsure which version...

Battery

Just thought to share my experience with you, mainly about battery consumption.

I came from AOKP 4.3 to KitKat, and as everybody wrote that KK is heavy on the battery. I thought to test every available ROM for battery consumption, as I need KK's features, but need the XV to take me through the day.

The AOKP did about 12 hrs with 3-4 hrs talking, some WiFi and screen time. I'm a mostly talker. So that was the base for me.

It did go easily to deep sleep and in that state it took about .30-.35% per hour. So I aimed for that.

Deep sleep is the most importan for me, as the faster the XV goes into, the less battery it takes when nothing is done. When in use, there is not that much difference between ROMs (there is, but not 2-3% per hour is not that much when in use).

I try to fine tune as much as possible, so I use SetXperia, Greenify, AndroidTuner, PimpMyRom and ROM Toolbox. They have some similar functions, so in those cases it's just for double checking.

Every CM based ROM is pretty bad on battery. The best I could get was 2% per hour when not in use. I liked Carbon the most, but was heavy on the batt.

After trying AOKP, PAC-MAN, MOKEE, FXP, Paranoid, DU, Avatar and AOSB I went for Omni.

Not that much features, but more than AOSB or Mokee... and faaaaar more stable. So I was on Omni 4.4.4. It is great on the battery. It easily did 7days on standby (just some WiFi usage), and did about 14-16hrs with normal usage.

It did .20-.25% when in deep sleep, and it got into that state easily. Great ROM! I only had some problems with the GPS. It continuously dropped signal when I was in Brussels and stopped during navigation, than restarted... it was annoying. Was working nicely out of the city... so, might have been some signal issues in the city.

I took me quite a while to change to WhiteNeo's NeoWave, but I hate backuping, installing... but did.

Worth it! A shade faster, but even better on the battery... I couldn't believe it. After a week testing it goes into deep sleep in a jiffy and does .13%-.14% per hour in ds. There was a day when I did not use the phone even for a single minute, and it did .08% per hour. WOW!

WhiteNeo really did some kernel tweaking... with my tweaks set it really does even better! Great job!

No FCs for me. The usual stuff seem to work (but so does in Omni, so should work here also). I haven't had the opportunity to test GPS and navigation, so I don't know about that yet.

My only "complaint" is Sony's white theme that I don't like that much (love dark themes a lot more) ... that's all.

Great ROM, great job! :good:

I'm excited about the tweaked kernel. ;)

This was long I know, but took me long time to get to this ROM. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MESA:
Hello how to make the option to choose launcher from settings visible ?:)

Edit: After installing another launcher the menu appeared in settings(called Home) to choose which i want to be default.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Just found this bug :D :

BTW does any knows how to hide apps from launcher in this ROM? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks for testing. :)

I'm sure many users here would like to know how you make your phone's battery life that awesome. :D

NeoWave's optimization level during compilation is most likely the reason for the great battery. :)

And I'll include even more optimizations in the new kernel, so stay tuned. :D

I don't understand your question. :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
sorry for a noob-like question... is your kernel going to be compatible for stock rom?

we desperate for a good kernel in our device. i've tested the existing ones but not so many governors and options, i was hoping that we finally get a great kernel :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I'll think about it. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stirlitz99:
I know there are a thousand options and ifs... :)

But as someone already noted the new version without overclocking and undervolting, I'd vote on a not overclocked, BUT undervolted version. I don't have any issues with speed, but as the battery is the weakest part of the XV, I'd vote for longer service time. ;)

Again, thanks for the hard work! :good: :cool:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Usually, voltage is defined per clock speed, which neo has lowered. The clock speed is set by the user, so with the new kernel you are always undervolted, and overclocked only when you select it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Yep. The user has the choice between great battery life with cpu clock at stock or better benchmarks with overclocking. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] taaviu:
Hey,

how i can remove or fix this graphical bug?

Launcher is nova. Thanx
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Most likely you have to decompile your launcher apk.. Will be a little complicated if you're not used to apk modifications. :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Alright.. Worked on kernel, further decreased the stock voltages.

Updated feature list:

- OC up to 1728MHz (L2 cache and Bus will only overclock if cpu is overclocked)

- Further undervolted cpu (exept OC freqs)

- VDD Undervolting support

- Added "intelliactive" and "intellidemand" governors

- Added "sio" io-scheduler

- Added intelliplug driver, which keeps the cpu cooler

- Added cpu hotplug (second core is turned off if not used) - no bugs with music playback as in walter's homebuilds!

- Made second core clock and governor fully adjustable

- Increased sd readahead by default to 256, making deadline an extremely fast io-scheduler

- Some more io-tweaks

- Disabled gentle fair sleepers for a smoother ui

Think that's all for now.

Testing stability for the next week. :)

In the meantime I'll try to fix some of the bugs you people mentioned.

Stay tuned! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
sounds great :D

big thanks for the great work

i can't believe that we finally have an awesome kernel for our devices. :victory:

please make it compatible with stock rom :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
That really sounds very promising.

I find it quite difficult to find an explicit source that documents all those governors and schedulers, and there seems to be controversy on the advantages of some.

Which will you set as default, and why?

Does anyone has a link to a reliable source on this matter? (sorry for the offtopic)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I think I'll leave the default governor as is, but I recommend intellidemand, as it feels quite smooth, yet keeps the cpu freq down. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jin21:
error 7

Why I can't flash your rom??

Always error 7

Why why... :((:confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Flash the included boot.img from the rom zip via Flashtool. Then install my rom. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
I cannot believe what I just read :eek:

That looks even better than when doomlord was working on his kernel for the V :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jin21:
can't play

SIR I CAN'T NOT PLAY AND ENJOY MY MUSIC

Using my earphones.. :(( please help me :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
... and most of his features went unused after trying them one time.

Not the number of features is important. Not everything added will be necessarily making something better. Here is the warning voice again.

Keep it simple, keep it small. Keep it least "geeky". :svetius:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Even though that and true, and all the OC features could be stolen to me, anything which is able to extend the batterylife of my phone or make the UI smoother without costing battery is welcome.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tiktok1:
I installed this rom and have been using for a couple of days. Before this I was using an old version of omnirom from a few months ago(before omnirom lost the hotplug cpu feature), which was good, but sometimes a bit laggy, especially when a call came in.

This rom is very nice, smooth and its great to have the sony launcher back again. I really want to keep this rom, but the one thing that I have an issue with is the device gets very hot in use - something that didn't happen before. Now I'm not sure if this is related to this rom, or the later omnirom base being used and I would have the same issue with a vanilla updated omnirom - any thoughts ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Try the app SoundAbout from Play Store. :)

I know exactly what your are talking about. I faced an according bug right after writing the feature list here.

Result: I recreated my work from scratch and added only the stuff I know that works properly.

That's why I removed the io tweaks and the auto hotplug driver (it's included in intelliplug anyway)

Kernel looks stable so far. :)

Btw, the default settings are already working very fine, so even non-geeks will be able to use the rom without issues.

Most of the New features can only be activated with advanced kernel apps anyway, TricksterMod for example.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jin21:
thank you..

:fingers-crossed:

Thank you so much Sir..

Works like charm...

Another problem while I playing a movie

It's moving slowly while watching.. How to fix it Sir??

Please help me.. :crying::confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
No idea. Works fine on my phone..

Perhaps your sdcard is too slow? :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
and for that you can try MX Player from appstore, and don't forget to install the codec that is for our devices (ARMv7 NEON) ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I tried the ondemand governor on the latest version and my phone restarted when I was in Ingress. Image got all distorted and then phone rebooted.

Battery emptied in about two hours while 90% of the time the screen was off.

I changed nothing else on the rom, besides the 256 read ahead value.

Phone was not particularly hot when it rebooted.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elikcandy:
Satellite lock problem.

ROM is realy good enough for me, but I have 2 problems.

The first problem is forgotten bluetooth pairing.

Second is bug with GPS.

It found many satellites but can't lock even one satellit for several hour. I've tried different gps.conf but without result.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
That is weird, I use the GPS all the time to play Ingress, and I'm really happy with the GPS performance on this rom.

Especially compared with other kitkat roms where i needed to install a GPS fix app because they acted like you discribe.

Edit: make sure the GPS is in the high setting when using it, swipe over the quick setting to check and set it quickly (see pic)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
I am also facing this issue. Locación is relatively fast with data, but still it does take a long time to lock GPS satellites. On average more than a minute even sometimes it can take up to 5.

And if the screen goes off, I have to start from scratch. Going to sleep cuts GPS and loses location.

Not a major issue, but the other day I needed navigation, and it got to my nerves that it didn't work as expected.

Anyway, lookin forward to trying the new kernel version...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dyfk3l:
Does FasterGPS help you?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps

You can specify your NTP servers.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
I did tryit, and yes it is a tiny bit better, I'm also using GPSfix. But in older days with other roms Fixing satellites was faster.

Anyway the overall performance is so good that I can live with not fully optimal gps performance.

Battery for me is more important and Neowave gives me this.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Did someone say GPS PROBLEM? :D

Well, check my signature.

And btw- gps status and toolbox sucks on our phones.

Use a "real" navigation app instead - Sygic did wonders for me!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
You managed this all well so far, I got to say.

I previously increased SD read-ahead to 2048. I left it there but I couldn't see any diff. Did you?

Did you have time thinking abt modding NeoW to not require unlock BL?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elikcandy:
Thank you. You are right.

I just installed Sygic and it works good. It locks 5 satellites for less then minute and gps status sucks can't do this.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] taaviu:
Download history wont go away. When I downloaded something and cleared sratusbar, after a while they appears there again. Wiped data and setting downloads.apk didn't get help :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Not quite sure yet. I'm also thinking about flashing this.

Please try it and report, so I can add the Information to the thread. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alfanumerica:
Please, could someone test and report about Bt bug fix? I'm unable to dl atm and test by myself (200mb/day cap)

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Bluetooth pairing with my logitech Bluetooth adapter is saved after a reboot. Didn't test with other Bluetooth devices
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Any chance you could port this for T??? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I confirm Walkman v1.7 from add ones works with ART :o

Two UI bugs I've found:

1.Screen tearing when I press album art on walkman

2.Slider shortcuts system icons are white and background is white too
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks for testing. I'll add that information to the OP. :)

I'll see what I can do concerning the bugs you mentioned.

But don't expect too much, because the first issue is kernel related and the second one is smali coded.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Might do so when I fixed most of the ui bugs. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
As i mentioned before, its a very nice ROM.

If I was you I would change the name quickly. It maybe omni based but its not omni anymore, it even has a CM kernel and lacks most of the bugs (BT) common to omni. people who are not into omni will be hesitating to try it although its so much different.

one omni bug which is still present and quite annoying; why, when flashing ZIP coming from stock rom, does it tell us out device is a "mint". I always have to you fastboot to change the kernel before flashing. even restoring a backup doesnt work. TWRP just reboots.

Greetings

Daniel
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I use CWM and I had no problem restoring my backup :cowboy:

Actually flashed this ROM 3 times and successfully restored my backup 3 times too :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
Sorry for being late :p

Pretty nice rom bro, keep up your good work :D

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
True. First I need some nice name ideas tho. :D

So you can also confirm bluetooth pairing issue is fixed?

I could remove the line that checks if device is tsubasa from updater script. But might brick someones device, thats why I'm hesitating..

Also have no backup/restore issues by the way. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Hello,

You did an AWESOME job with this ROM, so many many thanks are in order.

The BT bug is still present with my smartwatch 2.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
Have to say that on my Car BT device, after reboot, it needs to be paired again.

But considering how fast, smooth, and good looking this rom is... I dont care about BT anymore. It takes a few secs to pair a device. Totatly worth it.

Well done [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], this rom is very very good!!!

Thank you!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
yperia

Z.peria

V-Kat 4.4

Caramel Candy 4.4

windows 9.1

The last one is not serious. I just thought I'll start so other might have suggestions, too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Its sad to hear bluetooth bug persists, but as soon as Omni devs commit a fix I'll update the rom's kernel, too. :good:

Thanks for the positive feedback. Words like this motivate me to continue this project. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
These names might be good for many roms, but I want a special name, thats the problem. :D

Thats also the reason I didnt choose "Neo Xperience Z" or something like that. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
"Super HD Xperia Revolution X" definitely the one I would go for ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
You forgot the "V2 Ultra!" suffix :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Just kidding. :D

I guess some morning I'll wake up and have that awesome idea. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
The way I see this ROM has the following characteristics:

- It is stable as Omni for V started with a solid german concept (thanks to Walter79)

- The sound is clear

- The interface is fluid

- The consumption is balanced

- The compilation flags are groundbreaking - and I mean it!

Sounds like spring water to me :)

Maybe you should call it NeueWelle or better yet NeoWave ROM (NWR for connaisseurs)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Neither did I, but just try the integrated sd benchmark function of Android Tuner. :)

There is a difference of nearly 50% io-throughput between certain schedulers and read-ahead caches.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hm.. Compiled another kernel yesterday. Replaced Intelliplug with MSM MPDecision from Bricked Kernel for Nexus 5.

Intelliplug was making the phone terribly choppy. MPD seems very smooth so far.

I'll also remove the intellidemand and intelliactive governors as they cause build errors with MPDecision.

Any recommendations for one or two new governors to add?

BTW, I'll probably also remove the last frequency step (1728MHz).. Makes the phone too unstable. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
when i was using galaxy s3 back in years, there were plethora of governors available and the most requested were pegasusqplus, smartassv2 and lulzactiveq. together with sio scheduler they made some impact on overall performance.

maybe you can try these and see what you get with our phone.

by the way, i installed your rom last night and i must admit - i'm very much surprised with the speed and smoothness of the rom. i found the overall audio quality to be the best so far since i have my Xperia V and tried a dozen of roms (official and custom)

congratulations and keep up the good work, i'll stick around your rom and further development for a while :)

:good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Is this rom as stable as omnirom but with more features and better battery life? And is multi-tasking as good as in omnirom?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Exactly. Many users reported a great battery life - which will most likely even improve with the new kernel I'm currently working on. :good:

You will not have ram issues, that's what I can tell you for sure. After all, it's not bloated with useless apps like a stock rom.

And if you count Walkman and the nice UI as features, NeoWave does indeed have more features than Omni. :D

Also, my kernel will include lots of stuff that Omni doesnt have. :)

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]:

Added fully customnizable Thermal Control from Bricked Kernel today. So from now on you decide when your device decreases cpu freqs! :good:

I think by now I replaced all proprietary binaries with drivers that are included in kernel and thus much faster.

Is anyone interested in Faux Sound?

Actually, V4A does pretty much the same and more (imo). That's why I'm asking. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elikcandy:
Can you add kernel module for NAT "TTL" target support ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
V4A is simply wonderful and it is working without a flaw.

I don't know Faux sound, so it is hard to judge, but why change a winning team?

I googled around a bit and it seems that Faux has an advanced in and output level control.

V4A (when activated expert settings) has a lot of possibilities already (gain, limiter, etc) and I cannot imagine what more is possible and if that is worth a change.

The "force settings" option in V4A is really important when using headphones that aren't compatible with the phone (in combination with the SoundAbout app) and I would really be sad if that doesn't work anymore, I would stick to the actual rom, just for that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Tnx for your answer, I will definitely try it out :D

Just one more question. When I install this rom, does it come with decreased cpu voltage and best governor and scheduler (for battery life and stability) or do I have to set it all by myself?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
so far i'm very satisfied with this rom. great overall performance and also great at multitasking. i forget that i need to close open apps as you won't notice much difference.

i must admit that i'm using ART and been craving to try it. finally we got a chance of perfect combination AOSP and Sony's UI.

by the way, the mentioned features about the OC and low CPU voltages are still in development and are not yet present. so if you install the current version you'll just have to wait for the upcoming goodies :)

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] can you please do something about the phone app/dialer? i prefer Sony one over AOSP. issues like low res pictures of contacts and the start page showing the favorite contacts as speed dial.

EDIT: i forgot to mention audio... pleas stick with V4A, i'm very satisfied with the sound on the device. finally i can hear well the calling party and they report to hear me better than before
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Tnx for answering my questions :)

Btw...do you suggest using art or dalvik on this rom? Any difference in stability, battery life, ram usage...?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
On art since first version, never jad any problem, no incompatibility problems found with playstore apps.

But no xposed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
from my experience:

stability = rock solid

battery life = don't know been moving a lot and using 2g and 3g networks. on Xperia V that makes a lot of difference. in dalvik i was using xposed framework and tools to automatically switch to 2g when i have wifi, and turn wifi off and to 3g when no wifi. believe it or not, this makes a huge difference on battery usage.

ram usage = didn't experience any lags even when i have multiple apps running (facebook, viber, whatsapp, xda app, email....) all open and all working ok and no lags
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Could you tell me what this does and provide a link to a kernel that has this feature? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
When the kernel is released, the default settings will already be pretty nice.

Of course, there is still some room for optimization, but for the general user everything works fine as it is. :)

By the way, looking for three people to beta test the kernel. Just to confirm it boots on other devices etc. :D

If you want to help, leave a comment here. But I need people that can unbrick their phones with Flashtool (just in case)

No issues with the kernel on my phone, but who knows? :D

Release will be in one or two days, along with a Sony themed OnePlus One Camera app and maybe some bugfixes if I find the time. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I can test this afternoon if you like.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Do I need to flash the kernel before installing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
will be able to test in about 5-6 hours when i get home
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Wifi doesn't work !

Hey guys please help ! I just flashed this ROM and then flashed update, gapps, calendar and super su update and everything went fine but i can't turn on wifi and bluetooth neither in settings or quick toggles. What could be the problem?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
This didn't happen on me. Pls try reinstalling again and follow instructions carefully
