For starters, we dont have emmc, we use raw nand over mtd.

technically aside, you need special tools to replace and prepare the nand. Not to mention adequate knowledge.

Replacing full board is one solution.

Temporarily, you can take a look at my dual boot kernels and keep running device off SD card/ secondary rom

Edit build.prop

Increase dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit to 48m or 56m

Hi and thanks a lot for all.

I'd like to try your Radium ICS rom. I've downloaded Radium 3 and the kernel needed, what is the differences between Radium 1 and the third version ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Radium 3 has some bugs fixed....

Though Wait for 10 odd days for Radium 4. Planning a full revamp in coming days :angel:. (This time 10 days == 10 days ,not 10 months :victory: )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zegoo:
Good news ... Waiting for this !

I'm always running a GB rom with one of your kernel ... Awesome experimentation. Still working fine !

I'd like to upgrade my beautiful Mango on ICS or JB rom and i trust on your kernel that's why i'll wait for your fourth Radium Jewel :silly:

It's pretty hard to make a ROM if your USP is stripping everything down.

But anyway here we go

-->Where is version 3 ?

In trash. I was working on 3 but I had to leave the project for some reasons. It is incomplete and I don't remember what's incomplete...

About Radium 4:

Radium 4 : It looks like Radium 2..It is 99% of Radium 2 ...Except for

Radium Green is default theme...

Nova Launcher replaces Stock Launcher. :meep:

MultiLing Keyboard Replaces AnyKeySoft Keyboard.

The contact thing works now...Issue with Timescape as pointed out by [MENTION=390446]Verbato[/MENTION] .

Meh....What did you expect from a stripped down ROM...There some more stuff to strip and compress but that will have to wait for 2016 when I have time to kill....

Now as you see there is only kernel for active. Thats because my PC is getting hung while compiling . #BlamesIlluminati .

The kernel is the one I compiled 2 months back when I wanted the best battery out of my phone >_> .

I will try to get the remaining devices to compile ,but if they don't...

Get Doppler 3. So if any of you peeps think Battery > 100 MB free space ,head over to Doppler thread and get version 3.

Dopller 3 doesn't have the battery bleed bug....If you haven't faced it yet then bless you...It's a bug when your devices gets over a million of wakelocks which bleeds your battery to death. Every kernel after D4 has that bug..

Also if you look at cat /proc/version on active ,it will say it's Doppler v3....Thats because I was lazy to recompile and pack the wifi modules....Lazy fellow this karandpr guy...

-->Folder is empty ?

Files are getting uploaded ,and they will be fully uploaded by 2019, in 5 hours ...

Files uploaded !

-->Ohh ,yeah There is fixed zip to Radium_Orange Theme... [MENTION=7045555]1spyro1[/MENTION] reported that I missed one quotation mark in updater script...

It's fixed...

Wooowww.....

I'll Download this night... ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acharnleygg:
I went for it, so here's my feedback.

It's supremely fast compared to legacyxperia CM 10/11/12.1

It has all the features enabled (speaker volume, fm) and less bugs then the above

Battery life is much better than the above.

All I could find that wasn't so good is;

Phone reset once. I've uninstalled the CPU app now, but it wasn't overclocked.

No USB direct SD mount (that I could find). mtp protocol is buggy and doesn't allow for large file transfers without input/output error.

The contacts app seems very old, or doesn't have the import/export features of newer Google People. I need this to import my contacts. :)

No way to change background to an image/colour.

Honestly, that's it. The Apps can be downloaded from the various apk sites. This is now my default ROM.

THANKS!

Dialer & Flashing

First of all thanks for the update Karan ................. bit confused can i flash Radium 4 on Radium 2 or i have to do with fast boot and is dialer has been changed of its the same as Radium 2..................:angel:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Just format system in recovery and flash.

And clean the dalvik cache.

Radium 4 can be dirty flashed over 2 >_>. Dialer is same as 2. No need to format /data.

Will theme stuff soon like ,Dialer and other "blue" areas
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darzur:
Hi karandpr,

Does Doppler3 have Two Way Call Recording patches?? If not will Radium 4 work with Mesa Hybrid v4.8 kernel? I'm looking for some good stock based ROM for my sk17i as I'm a bit tired with various small incompatibilities of CM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Yeah, use it with Mesa 4.8...D3 doesn't have Two Way Call Recording afaik.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darzur:
Just installed it with D3 and it looks like it have TWCR. It's worth to have additional 140Mb for apps too so I'll stick wit D3. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SdtBarbarossa:
hm... does anyone in here knows how the half-screen aroma bug was fixed?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acharnleygg:
Just another update. For v4, the ROM is unstable, with phone resetting at least once a day. Other than that, and being unable to kill the green background, I've not had many issues.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Use newer aroma binary ...or use older recovery....

Interesting ....I am using it on my active and it works fine...Though I use limited apps like Whatsapp ,Tapatalk & Calling ....I will try stressing it out and check....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acharnleygg:
That's unstressed. It's just sitting on the table at work when it happens. It's stable during use.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
I will check and see the issue...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SdtBarbarossa:
thats not really an answer ;-(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Most ROM developers fixed the bug by switching to newer aroma installer.

Most users used a kernel with older recovery to install buggy ROM.

The half screen bug dates at 2012 ...This is 2015 and any new aroma zip should not have that bug.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SdtBarbarossa:
hm... ok so there was never a fix ;-( ok thank you for that answer!!! ( we have this bug on i9305 )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Either the ROM devs or the USers need to fix them...For a particular recovery there is no fix as such...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acharnleygg:
Just to update, I do't have the battery bug and battery life is superb. It uses 1/3 that of Cryo 11/12!

Wish I could change the background image from that horrible green. The phone is stable during use but continues to randomly reset during the day, usually twice a day or so.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
I dunno why you can't just assign using QuickPic Wallpaper

Any way, Flash this zip from recovery

It should look like this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acharnleygg:
I must have disabled quickpic and didn't see it.

Regarding the kernel reset bug, which versions of Doppler are compatible with this ROM? I tried another version of doppler, v3 I think, and it has the same problem. It might not be a kernel problem, but I'm thinking it's likely. Also, when I stuck a kernel over the top it wouldn't boot, I had to nstall the radium zip over the top which wiped all the settings for it to boot. Is there a way around this, if I were to try out different kernels?

Thanks for your effort. This is an amazingly clean ROM, super fast, super battery life. You've done really well with it.

On the background, I just like black - no branding!

Thanks, Andrew
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
You can't really change kernels when partition layout is changed. There is no way around it since the partition layout is decided by the kernel.

Unless you are using some system mods ,I would recommend the Radium Kernel in the folder for maximum space.

Regardless all kernels are compatible with this rom since it's one of the thinnest ROMs .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acharnleygg:
Ah, I was hoping it would be a bit more Linux like, and not destroy, or forget the partitions.

Stability has reached a point for me. I love the ROM, but it randomly resets at least 3 times a day now (I've been watching it more closely). I think, ideally, I need a kernel which has had no modding.

Regards, Andrew
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
I can re produce your bug.

There is a random reboot especially when SD card read is in progress with battery < 40% ...

I will see what can be done.

Hey what's up. I'm thinking of getting this. This looks pretty light, is this lighter than cm11?

Basically I just use my LWW for music. So is this stable, good for battery, perfect audio and stable wifi? :D Thanks!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Maybe this is the lightest ROM :eek: .

I can assure you on good for battery & WiFi part....

Some times it may become unstable ...like once a month...random reboots on some devices...

I don't think it has perfect audio.

Reasonable audio is what I can promise.

Audio mods can't be installed due to lack of /system.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JOVICAMPEK:
I've used this rom, it's probably the lightest ics out there. Certainly has more storage for apps,but since you wont install many, i'd recommend using cm11. I found it a lot smoother, ics kinda starts lagging after a while. Thats just my experience, you should just try both and see what you like. Don't install the latest cm11 i found it has some crackling while playing music, but it may just be the walkman with sound enhancements mod. (didn't happen in the august build).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Bump.

Any users other that Xperia Active ?

I will be working on Radium 5.

Just a generic update cos ,I want to switch ROMs . :)

I am thinking of using Android Kitkat as Base. CM 11 FTW !!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JOVICAMPEK:
I fully support that! Kitkat is simply a lot faster than ics. Coupled with your skills it may become the next best thing for our devices.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JOVICAMPEK:
Well lollipop is no longer developed (I think), they already made marshamllow. I am using the latest cm11 and it's working great, I think a lot of rom builders used the cm-11-20150310 but that was a long time ago, there aren't many new cm11 builds. Latest one seems the most reasonable to me, wifi drops are fixed and it's the most up-to-date one., no restarts/hangs whatsoever.

i tried to using linux deploy on your rom(radium 4),

each time i started linux deploy i got error "kernel is too old",

do you have any suggestions how to fix it? thanks :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Because the kernel is too old...It's ancient...2.6.32's support ended in March 2016....

No idea how to fix it beyond contacting the app developer.

There were other linux apps which worked in past.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ryanrinaldhi:
thanks for the answer :D

so,how to make a newer kernel based on your kernel karandpr?

i don't have any experience on creating kernel,but i guess i'll try :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
I dont think newer kernels work well on ICS

I did try working on 3.0 for ICS but it was too laggy for daily usage.

I suppose ,the app should work fine on kitkat based ROM since KK has newer kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ryanrinaldhi:
thanks for your fast response :D

yes it works,i've tried it on kitkat based rom(cm11),

i just want to try it on your rom because radium 4 is really light and fast :good: :good: :good:

i'll try another method or see if your radium 5(cm11 based) does the job :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:

Let's see how light CM11 can get...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JOVICAMPEK:
Are you planning to do something with the memory layout like in ics? More storage for apps? It'd mean the world to me,not having to use mounts2sd just to install a couple of apps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
:eek: Ofc...

Right now with Gapps and ROM , it's about 320 MB (Stock is around 400 ish MB with /system at 450 MB)

So 130 MB for apps is assured :cool:

I will be pushing towards 260 MB (with gapps) so we can have around 190 MB more for apps.

The issue is the kernel. I am not sure how the latest sources will play with the ROM.

We can only hope for the best though.

Edit : Flashing first build right now...

Edit 2: SD card got corrupted and Windows 10 cant recognize fastboot. #IFailSoMuch
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Fixed stuff.

With gapps , it's 160 MB is saved ...

Yes this is kitkat...

I think I can pull some 10-20 MB more >_> <_<
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JOVICAMPEK:
Great job. When/If you need a tester for smultron just pm me. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Not really... Kitkat pretty is hopeless ...The dalvik cache generated is off the charts ....6 apps and the memory is full . WTF !!

On boot it's 100 MB for dalvik and 100 MB for GPS + 20 MB for Play Store :eek::eek:

Even if I manage to transfer that 160MB it will still translate to roughly 12 apps (to current 6)....

Need to compress better or look for better solution.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JOVICAMPEK:
Maybe use this instead of gapps? It's not a big deal not to have play store.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Gapps is not just the play store...It's also Gmail , hangouts , G+ and the entire set of apps which have been tied with your G+ account ....The last time I checked ,those apps were over 100 for me personally....

Micro G is for non gapps phones. And it's still doesn't resolve issue of Play services which gets downloaded regardless you use GMS core or Micro GMS....

I am thinking of a script which compresses apk in recovery ...It should reduce the load by some margin...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zegoo:
Hi [MENTION=3690061]karandpr[/MENTION]

Me too ! Back to ICS.

I was during many years under 234 with one of your kernel. I decided to go under ICS with Radium 4 and your 2.0 single boot Kernel.

I tried your Radium 2.0 with this Kernel on a new mint condition azerty SK17i networks and BL unlocked.

I met issue with backlight keyboard. Not enough brightness ...

I tried this in my hw_config.sh file

# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
echo 1,70,255,52,24,5,80 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/curve # ALS curve for group1
echo 2,127,1,130,130,2,2 > $dev/button-backlight/als/curve # ALS curve for group2
echo 2,127,1,130,130,2,2 > $dev/keyboard-backlight/als/curve # ALS curve for group2
echo 3,0,2,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params #[gain],[filter_up],[filter_down],[offset]
echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
echo 1 > $dev/keyboard-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
echo 500 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
[B]echo 5000[/B] > $dev/keyboard-backlight/max_current

With those values under 234, my keyboard was very readable with a good brightness.

Is now under kernel control since ICS ? Do you have any idea to make my keyboard more bright when light on ?

So, i always have an issue with the keyboard when using Terminal Emulator. This app is working with a qwerty layout and i have an azerty layout on parameters. Weird ! I didn't have this issue under 234, are the files in /usr on 234 compatibles with ICS, the kl files and/or the bin files and/or the kcm files ? :rolleyes:
