How to install Radium? - Solved

How to install Radium

***Solved***

Ok folks, I'm reviving an old thread here, so bear with me please.

I was running CM10 on my LWW, but found that a bit laggy. Browsed through the forum and though that Radium would be cool.

I tried to install via CWM recovery (Vol Dn after powering on). Wiped Cache/Dalvik/data, installed Radium 4 ROM through the zip, but after a reboot, the phone would show the Free Xperia logo, and then a black screen

I did some sh*t and manage to screw even the CWM recovery :-/ After a bit of a struggle, I managed to install a stock ROM (used the Flashtool by Androxyde + 4.1 FTF file)

Phone worked fine, but obviously I don't want to use stock. The above operation wiped out CWM Recovery. So I used Flashtool in Fastboot mode to push just the boot.img file from CM10 onto my LWW.

I could then boot back in CWM Recovery. By now I had read some more, and realized that the Radium 2 and 4 zip files don't come with a kernel by default, so I separately downloaded the Radium 2 kernel, put it into the zip file of the Radium 4 ROM, and tried to install it through CWM Recovery. Still stuck at the same black screen.

I can manually push the Radium 2 kernel (boot_radium_coconut_002.img) to the phone using Flashtool in Fastboot mode. On reboot I can see the red Radium logo, but nothing more than that.

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Update:

So I guess what I needed to do was this:

Boot phone into Fastboot mode

Push the Radium 2 boot image (boot_radium_coconut_002.img linked in the above post) to my phone using Flashtool in Fastboot mode.

Restart, press Vol Dn, and enter the CWM Recovery console provided by Radium 2

Install the Radium 4 ROM (Radium_4_LWW.zip) present on my SD card, using the CWM recovery available in the Radium 2 boot image.

Now it's time for me to play around a little with this new ROM

Apologies if this sounds like a n00b mistake. Noted my steps here so that it's helpful for another n00b :D

Cheers!

:eek:

Thats old .... It's amazing people still use Radium in 2018 ... I almost want to fix my Active/XMP and get back in ....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rohitdesa:
Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to revive my old Android phones one by one to see if I can re-purpose them as IP cams for home surveillance or as a webcam for Octoprint (3D printer).

The stripped-down, bare bones nature of Radium is perfect since it gives me so much more memory to play with. Any more suggestions for other super-lean ROMs? (Sony/Samsung/Xiaomi)

Sorry. I have use a thin busybox in this ROM :eek: .It is causing issues with Xposed Installation

Check this post and fix.

You should be good to go after that.

Will remove the issue in Next Update :angel:

Thanx a lot now its working again. :good::good: :highfive:

by d way is there any xposed app like gravity box for ISC roms?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bitterballen:
Unfortunately, there's no Gravity Box app supported for ICS. BTW, you can use XBlast Tool to modify the interface. :highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PiTBvLL:
Hi karandpr

Simply love this ROM, fast, stable, great battery and storage space, with no useless apps/mods getting in the way. Excellent work.

The only thing I can't get used to is the red in status bar. Is there anyway to change it from red to blue or white?

Thanks in advance.

Keep up the good work.

LWW
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bitterballen:
You can use XBlast Tool to modify the status bar color (of course, you should install Xposed Installer first).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Probably Green or Orange by the end of this week. After 2 years ,I am sick of seeing the Blue AND White UI.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PiTBvLL:
Thanks, will try that.

EDIT: no luck with xposed installer

I understand your feelings, but red ain't my colour!

Thks ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Considering the number of people advising me against the use of red ,I guess red ain't the color of lot of people. Then again I have some sort of weird design sense....I mean look at the doppler 2 boot logo ...That thing is straight out of a horror movie...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PiTBvLL:
LOL straight from Hell logo.

EDIT: with a red wallpaper, status look better Hehehe :P

no luck with xposed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bitterballen:
For those who have the problem installing Xposed Module, you must change installing method from classic (auto install) to recovery manual install (flash zip via recovery, it's available in folder android/data/de.ro..... blabla... then select xposed installer.

A Little Review

600 MB Internal ! - The best !! VEry Sweet and different from usual Sandwiches ;)

1) The Rom is smooth, but there's brief pauses when opening settings app or any app. Note: Brief ;)

2) Theming --> Definitely need some themes along, which would be awesome, especially framework ;)

3) Performance --> Good and nice ;)

4) Battery percent enabler --> Default Option would be nifty, instead of using a dedicated app for it ;)

5) The icons --> They're really sweet, I luv em ;))

6) File Explorer --> A default file explorer would do some good ;) Else we've to flash one :}

7) Xposed --> Works Fine ;)

8) Battery --> Great obviously ;) its ICS

Overall --> The Preference to internal memory is very much appreciated and you have done an awesome job with it :D , a bit more good theming will make this a perfect daily driver ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Will supress that notification in next version.

Thats the whole point of ROM.Speed.

Yes ,need to get rid of that pause. Themes will be via aroma,skinned systemUI/Framework or vr theme engine .

Xperia Theme Framework is very heavy on resources so I am not going to use it.

File explorer in Next version.

Xposed will work out of box in next version.

Battery as % or icons is yet to be decided .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Drakasin:
Great work! But I have some problems

The virtual keyboard seems to be broken on Mini Pro. Crashes every time I try to use it instead of my physical keyboard, which not always can be used. Perhaps there's some conflict with AnySoftKeyboard or something?

Otherwise, great kernel+ROM, though I had to change the governor to SmartassH3, because the default one doesn't have a sleep/wake profile and it generally ran on higher frequencies, which meant all-in-all that the battery lasted barely half a day. Now the battery barely drains while sleeping. Though, to be honest, the battery seems to drain quite faster than on a previous rom/kernel I used, which came a bit as a surprise considering that one was supercharged and whatnot.

But aside from that, I love this ROM to death because of its vanilla feeling without having any other ballast on top of it, which is rare to find as every ROM tries to have as much in it as possible (that often resulted in more problems than was worth, especially when it came to UI). I'll give this ROM+kernel a few more spins, hopefully the battery will level out somewhat after a few recharges.

Also love the red status bar. A nice change from the otherwise overused blue/white.

Cheers, and I look forward to more of your great work on this :highfive:

EDIT: Forgot to mention a few things:

1) The 600+ MB of internal space. Absolutely divine.

2) I had to download a separate app to see my battery charge as percentage. Would be awesome if it was natively built in, but it's not really all that necessary.

3) Theme / icons are also really awesome.

4) When I press the back / menu buttons (the two near the home button) on my mini pro, the phone doesn't vibrate.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ali14904:
Thanks for good rom .

this rom is the best rom

pls in the next version install xperia keyboard ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
WOW !! Someone actually liked the red status bar and theme :D . I am shocked !! I didn't want blue and white for same reason . Too much over use.

The thing about Vanilla ROMs is an end user can do whatever he wants and there is scope for it !!

/About the keyboard

Try deleting AnySoftKeyboard ?

Not sure what problem is ,but next time I will create Mini Pro from it's base instead of using Active Base.

I will do something about the batter percentage. Either it will be as number besides the battery icon. Or numbered battery icons.

Which device ?

Xpeira keyboard + dictionaries take 15-18 MB of space ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JesterGuerrero:
Gonna try this baby. Feedback later. :p

EDIT: I feel sorry for my device. :p As I did not follow instruction.

This is what I did, Flash Stock, Factory Reset, Fastboot Radium kernel .img, Boot to Recovery, Flash Radium ROM, set aside device to rest for awhile, Reboot to Recovery, Clear Dalvik.. afterwards I'm so speechless.

ROM is not best but beast. Lol. Gonna stay tuned for updates. :D

EDIT: I hope I don't get kick by editing twice, I feel my previous feedback was incomplete, so I add up some few more. Why not?.

1. The redish-style of ROM is good in my eyes as I don't feel nauseous as I feel in overused-blue color.

2. Whodahell gonna give you 690MB Phone memory for FREE.

3. Exactly, 215MB of RAM on stand-by. More intelligence for my app. Thank God and [MENTION=3690061]karandpr[/MENTION].

4. The icons, you gotta love it. It feel so unique.

5. ROM is 95MB, even dial-up can download this.

6. No features, just beastly "Freebies".

On Xperia Mini, when I am using Google Maps or OsmAnd the "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped working" message appears, the status bar disappears, and after that periodically I get that message, and I have to reboot the phone.

Also, there is no option to get the internet settings.

update: It happens with apps that use GPS. If I turn of GPS, its OK, even with network location on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Both bugs are fixed. Wait for next version .

Will use modified apn file instead of the download settings app
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sarin28:
OMG. Awesome looking ROM. Gonna definitely try it. Have few noob doubts. Please clarify.

1. Can the 4 corner shortcut be disabled inside ROM. I mean is there any setting. Or it cant be changed??

2. Cant we flash kernel.img through Flashtool and install ROM with full wipe in CWM?? I dont know the fastboot method.

3. Can anyone provide the link for the latest gapps for this ROM.

Thank you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JesterGuerrero:
1. I think Home is stock.

2. Read my feedback uptop, that's what I did. BUT take your own risk when not following instruction. :)

3. I dun have mate. BUT ROM is based on .587 stock. That's what I read on first page.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
1.No it cant be "disabled". Use another launcher !

2.Yes ,you can do that. Flash kernel . Boot to recovery . wipe /data ,/cache and /system.

3. Why ? This is gappfull or gappmore ROM...No need to install gapps ...

Ohh no. Dev, whether I login into my Mediafire account or not, after clicking the link, I get into a page with Radium_1 folder. For sorting files, the site is having Name and Modified. But no files there to download. Please tell me what to do??

When you share the final version? I would like to know because I go to work and I will not be able to access the internet and would like to upload a rom to your LWW.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Toni Suwanto:
Use notification led fix for ics 587, there's around here
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Friday or Saturday probably.

Need to add and test mods.

There needs to be some work done with kernels .

In case it's really an emergency ,I can make a Fix zip today for

GPS bug

APN list

Active's notification.

The lag is due to interactive governor AFAIK(I might have changed values kernel side). With CFQ it seems to take things a little too easy. Switching to ondemand+sio gives a massive boost.

However switching from cfq will take away the 0% battery drop .

With WiFi on and Play services in background, you need a minimum 349Mhz for lagless experience .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] khamim:
nice rom..

if possible please make smallapps support like in zelly cream rom.. maybe as add on.

I got bootloop when pairing bluetooth(known ics problem). the only solution i know is clearing dalvik cache then use bluetooth fix repair.

can it fixed?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
About Small Apps

NO.

We own 3" to 3.2" devices. Most of native apps are small in nature anyway. I can't even get my thumb properly over a small app and it takes 70-80% of screen. It takes memory in background and makes the framework lag.

You can manually add mods from any ROM with small apps and try it. Officially I won't be adding small apps and bloating the framework.

Again ,Bluetooth pairs fine for me with other phones and laptop . But I rarely use bluteooth. Dunno whats the issue
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sarin28:
Dev, if you could upload that fix zip you were talking about, would be great. Just asked. Your choice anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Here is the fix zip

Fixes GPS,APN and Active notification.

For APN

Go to Settings --> More -->Mobile Networks--Access Point Names

Right Click/Menu

Reset to default

Wait and you are done

Select APN and data should be working.

i think that is for hardware problem.

is any way to increase the vol higher ?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] khamim:
there are little free space in system so i cant add smallapps mod from other rom. but its okay. not a big problem.

just a suggestion, please add battery percentage to status bar so we know how much is it. thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Dunno. It's loud for me when I have good reception. Connect good earphones if you are feeling stock earphone are not loud enough

I will add battery percentage when I can.

I have the same problem...

During calls, the volume is low via headphones AND also via the earpiece speaker... if i put it on loudspeaker, then the volume is proper and fine....

But when its the front(earpiece) speaker.. its really low...:crying::(

That is the only thing that's making me dislike this rom...

can anyone else confirm this? :confused:

Great ROM with more space for APP

Hi,

First I would like to thank you for the effort to make stable ROM for MDPI... :good:

I am using this ROM for the past 2 weeks and it is very stable... I think only once my LWW got hanged and restart... this is acceptable when compared to other light ROMs...

Personally I feel something can be added to make this ROM more beautiful... :o

1. The important thing which i feel required is Xperia Z dialer and Call screen. Because its very difficult to make call from the existing dialer since it search only number not the names.

2. Also the existing 4 corner call screen is very difficult to select any option during in call. Also in my case in LWW the proximity sensor is very mild so the call more offend going on mute when i place the phone in my ears.. :(

3. As others said I too see that call volume is low in phone earpiece... Its bit difficult when we answer any call in outdoor.

4. This is minor one that is Launcher... Actually I am not really fond of four corner launcher in my LWW. It would be really great if we can have any option to select 'Xperia GX Home Launcher'.. :)

5. I am really fond of wave lock screen. Is there any chance for that?... :D

This is just my personal view.... I really want to keep this as my daily ROM... I am not looking for you to change your ROM concept with above options... But It would be great if we have these options to select while install... :o

Once again thank you so much for your effort... :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Thanks man... Hope you enjoy your holidays too !!

Check the number of Xperia Z themed ROMs in this forum . The sheer number and similarity makes me nauseous ...

Thats one reason.

The second reason is that the credits for Z/Z1/Z2/Z3 apps or Z/Z1/Z2/Z3 ports or are pretty much vague. Adding any such mod means

Asking 30 odd people for permissions and credit which will take a lot of time and effort .(Credits & Nested credits and Nested Nested Credits....)

OR

Getting a Z ROM dump and porting it myself which will take some time ,some effort and lot of disk space. I am running low on disk space so it's out of question.

Simple solution.

Get the Z theme mods/roms from other ROMs/Threads and fix it yourself. Same thing with launcher/lockscreen and others.

Also the only reason I am using stock launcher is 700kb in size with decent level of functionality.

Nova was my first choice . Ditched it for being 2.34 MB and it gets updated regularly so it's easier to download it off play store .

About the mic volume. Next version will be based on Base ROMs of individual devices instead of Base Active. The dev files are pretty much flaky unless you are LWW user.

Any problems whatsoever won't occur .

Again I can't guarantee next version till the end of this year. Too much happening IRL to deal with . A new ROM version is least of my problems to deal with right now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] solairajesh:
Thanks your reply karandpr... I can understand your pain... I'll try install some MOD myself... :)Also happy that we'll get a fix on call volume... :good:
