Hi all.... I read through all of the various WM6 threads with interest... and tried all of the different ROMS to see what's happening, and comments like that above really intrigue me.

I see lots of comments about each ROM being faster than other ones, and I wondered why people say this. What is it about each ROM that they think is faster/better than others.

Now I saw AlanJC's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=290581 where he benchmarked the different ROMS and reported minor speed differences between them... given the numbers/times he produced I can't see those make any noticeable difference to a ROM's performance (10's of ms).

So I thought I'd investigate in more detail, looking into the differences in the various registries here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1108605&postcount=35

This showed minor tweaks here and there between the various ROMS but nothing huge. Then I've compared the differences in file content between the most 'Vanilla' ROM I can find (Indra) and the latest 'PDAVIET' ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1109410&postcount=38

Which shows what I suspected in that the tweaks between the versions are basically cosmetic (changing Icons/fonts with more asian characters), and adding in toys.

If anything the ROMS with the funky hi-colour icons and larger fonts should be slower since the file sizes for some apps are much larger.

So finally getting to my point.... what is is that makes people "feel" that one ROM is faster than another?

Is there some 'crucial' difference that causes the Today screen to be drawn differently that makes one feel faster? Does having high colour icons make one feel "more modern" and so "more up-to-date" and therefore "faster".

Or... is there something else going on?

Opinions please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] corleno:
I agree with you mate

but I did find a lot of difference in the roms RAM wise

I ran 2 different roms for the same 48 hours

and Iv noticed one rom has always more RAM than the other

running the same today plugins

This is because of mainly the hi-res icons of PDAdev.net

so I feel the max RAM in 48 hours has been achieved only in Indra's rom

and Infidel's rom(though not vanilla)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] NDUTU:
ROM psychology

I think that it is an issue that has to be more with psychology than with technology.

Probably when some person likes more one rom than another unconsciouslly associates that rom with faster but the speed are probable the same for all ROMs:p
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Looter:
The most important for me is if a rom is stable and all device's features working properly and not if one rom is 1-5% faster than the other.

Its really sad that no rom meets these simple criteria yet...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bill Gates:
People often made their first upgrade from official (AKU2) ROM and say "wow! it's really fast!!!"

I installed Midget WM6 version and comparing to AKU3.2 ROM:

* Resco Explorer enters into folder with many files (for example Windows folder) much faster;

* SPB self-extracting backup starts in 1-2 secs, which is also much faster than it did;

* less free program memory after hard-reset (with same set of Today plugins);

It's something with filesystem I think, maybe it's simple registry tweaks by ROM authors, maybe MS optimized something.

P.S. And Indra version is really more vanilla than Midget's?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tomal:
First of all, ivorh is right, most differences are cosmetic.

Also the differences mostly I've seen is the cache settings. For instance, in one ROM, more memory (RAM) has allocated to the system cache; in this case, system will act bit faster than others but less program memory will be available to you.

Available memory is very important (personally) for me and I always prefer more program memory to be available. Because many of my documents (.doc, .xls etc.) I can't open in low memory condition. But it may differ to others, they might want a faster response (with more cache memory) and available memory is not that important to him.

Helmi, Ivan and other ROM builders, they all learnt it from experience and trying to balance the memory in both cache and available to you and this is the main reason (I believe) we find the differences between different ROM's in performance wise.

Any comments?

Android L is out, how long will it take until we'll have some custom Roms with Android L?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
afaik it's not merged into aosp yet.

i think it'll be released together with the new devices
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flatric:
What does afaik mean? Sry I'm German:D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
as far as I know

We need to wait for the official Android L on our devices, if there will be one. Most probably not. The closer we can go is a ROM, but it's not worth it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flatric:
Why we need the official one for our device to build a custom Rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
we don't
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdevilium:
We need Google to publish (merge) their source code (AOSP, base of the ROM, human language for the ROM's computer code) to be able to easily modify it to suit our device's needs (drivers etc.)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flatric:
Thanks now I understood:D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Alas, I dropped my tablet about 3 feet onto a tile floor, sliding mostly flush along the wall and striking the tablet edge.

I immediately felt the twinge of anger and dismay. Upon inspection (and later confirmed by research online), I had destroyed the touch screen digitizer but the LCD was left intact, as evidenced by the functioning picture. This seemed to be good news until I talked to two repair shops; even if I provide the parts, they're not willing to replace just the digitizer alone, as it is deemed "too risky".

Online I've seen digitizers in the range of $40-$50 CAD and LCDs in the $70-$80 range, with bundles between $100-$130 (+shipping costs, unless I get free shipping and wait a month for the parts to arrive from the Far East).

I could potentially buy the combo digitizer/LCD replacements for about $120 CAD, wait a month, then pay $50 for installation - or, get it done right away for $200-$220 including labour.

I just bought my sweet, sweet love a mere 6 months ago for about $510 CAD including tax.

Here are the facts:

Repair = Appx $200

I currently have a $100 gift card for Best Buy.

The Tablet Z appears to be discontinued.

Here's my dilemma: is it worth it to replace, or should I sell it for parts on eBay ( and maybe get $100-$150)?

If I got, say, $100 for parts, used the $100 gift card, and "saved" the $200 repair costs, I'd have $400 towards a new tablet.

But Future Shop/Best Buy (Canadian sites) have a fairly poor selection of tablets. The only benefit to shopping there is to use my gift card. But the closest thing that I'd want to even consider (that is even somewhat comparable to the Tablet Z) is the Galaxy Tab S 10.5" and it's $519.99+tax (total $587.59)

I'm very sad and ambivalent...ambivasad, if you will.

Hello there,

I remember, once I could set the percentage of the transparency of the extended sound menu but I can't find it nowhere anymore. Is there any xposed module or another app that allows me to do that?

I cant find nothing in Wanam about this.

Awesome theme...really digging the new text selector.

Since its a beta, here is a bug report for z1...

And in walkman just the previous button changes in blue.

Now a request, can you make one with black slide menu in home drawer and

without modified sony media apps.

Thanks!

imo the best theme for xperias.

true there is colour bug in walkman app [E]and sms app: there are 4 icons photo camera music and place. the music icon is black, the rest are blue

ideas: 1)flaten out the dialer, the call button and accept/reject incoming call (keep them green/red). 2)change lockscreen sparkles (not sure if you can do this) to smoke like effect. 3) black navbar? [E]4) high res lockscreen wallpaper

Hi bro, thanks for your work, your theme works on Xperia M 4.3 but have a little problems on some various apps not themed, this is because Xperia M is HDPI and your theme is for XXHDPI/XHDPI true? your add support for HDPI in a futures releases?

and i have a little suggestion, you can add this little feature on a future release "preview wallpaper" like Z3 Themes? i add the preview wallpaper on your theme but is your work :D

Some Bugs

Hello,

First, I have to say it's an awesome theme.

However, there are some bugs/problems, I don't know if all can be fixed, but I think a report is still useful:

Sony Z1 Compact 14.4.0.157

- the stopwatch icon is in light grey

- the "Settings" and "Brightness" font is white, not grey

- the battery icon is quite weird, barely visible

- the gap between the alarm clock and the WiFi icon seems quite big for me, it's bigger than stock, same goes for the other icons

- the location icon seems far too small

- Is it possible to move the arrows for WiFi to the right, so that the gap between WiFi and network doesn't seem to big?

With kind regards
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] abo hani:
I will fix them all :)

Settings-brightness font color can’t be edited , sorry .

can you upload the clock apk you have and send it to me ?
