[Xperia SP General] vvaklnprm:
Ok so I had some major issues with RR M1 :

1) random reboots that didn't get past starting apps ( also faced this in 12.1). Had to hard reset and reboot, which optimized all the apps again(like first boot). I have no idea what triggered the random reboots.

2) phone was charging and the phone rebooted, and didn't get past the boot animation. After hard reset, phone booted but it took a much longer time than first boot. Also some of my gapps were gone. Had to flash gapps again.

I am not complaining, coz I know there's a long way to go. I am just putting this here so if someone else faced the same thing, it can be noted by the devs.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
You're not the only person with those problems. It's strange how only some people face that issue.

Have you experienced the same problem after trying Vanir or AICP? Or have you tried any other 5.1.1 ROM other than RR and CM?

Do you know why these issues are differents one phone to an another ?

I think that the Xperia SP had different versions.

For exemple I have bugs and it's not smooth in a ROM which are smooth for other people.

Battery draining have the same issue.

It's the same for Stock ROMS. The 4.1 is like an angel for me, but not for many people who prefer the 4.3 (more smooth and speed).

// Sorry for my bad English
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I honestly don't know.

When I first got the phone with 4.1, it was slow. Then I went to cm and came back to stock and tried 4.1 and it was better than 4.3. Then I tried cm again and came back and I noticed 4.3 was doing better.

It's the weirdest thing I've ever experienced on this phone.

It's exactly this !

It's very strange... :rolleyes:
[Xperia SP General] vvaklnprm:
I haven't tried vanir or aicp yet, afraid of facing the same problems again.. [emoji14]

But if it is as you say, then it might be due to different versions of the phone.

For example mine is c5302, which supports only 3g,but I still find an option for lte in custom ROMs (not that I select that option).

I believe this is the only difference between the different versions of our phone and I don't have any idea of whether this actually affects custom ROM experience.

Maybe a different baseband? Or whatever it is that is custom for each version of our phone.

Hey guys, the latest build of AICP was released yesterday I guess. Any reviews?:D
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I'm following the AICP thread to see if there have been any major changes.

Yup, C5302 only has a baseband difference but for some reason, even in stock 4.3 I have the LTE option lol (I'm using C5302). It doesn't affect the custom ROM experience :P

Okay that's two reports of biased reviews. I'm going to go beyond 'constructive criticism' to beyond brutal. See how biased that gets. Gonna update Milestone 1 and other RR build statuses

Edit: updated the statuses. In case there is one more report saying I'm too biased towards [MENTION=5934815]Furrydaus[/MENTION] , his ROMs will no longer be listed on this thread. BUT, if its a coalition ROM, it will be included.

[Xperia SP General] Furrydaus:
Don't put a humongous biased sign there lol. Just add more info to the ROM review. Like add a description to every review about your experience rather than a general list haha
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Yeah but I don't want anything about my experience to alter someone else's decision. Considering the fact that some people face lots of reboots on Milestone 1 but I never had any is a good example, so I would be accused of 'misleading' people, and I do NOT want that to happen again (happened in CM12.1 thread a few times, so I left them for good).

I'm gonna keep up the biased sign for a while until I notice things have toned down or an update has released and I can begin to assess it. Besides, it's the same font size. I'll make it smaller xD

Actually here's the solution to the biased fiasco. I'll show the reviews to the Milestone 1 and RR LBL users and see if they agree. If they do, the biased sign will disappear, of they don't agree, it'll be up.

Some of the part of RAM is allocated to GPU. If we try to increase RAM maybe GPU performance will go down.

More allocation to GPU means smoother GPU performance but at a cost of multitasking.:crying:

how to enable KSM on t-kernel?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
open kernel auditor app and go for kernel samepage and scroll to last their you must find something called enable ksm...just press on it :)
[Xperia SP General] chachour:
download kernel auduitor ,go to kernel samepage merging and acitvate ksm

NB: You should flash T-kernel 5.2 :)
[Xperia SP General] Krawzer:
it is worth using KSm?
[Xperia SP General] Tomoms:
IMO you'll never notice the difference.

EDIT: everybody please do not look here unless you want to get disappointed and angry --> http://www.xda-developers.com/sony-brings-android-m-dev-preview-to-17-devices/

They do it for the Xperia S and L (which are nothing compared to the SP)!

Sony has really forgotten about the SP since the first day they launched it...
[Xperia SP General] Kaffeetrinker:
Maybe they don't do it because of the Illumination Bar.

They were never able to implement a good notification light feature. Without the extra apps and our devs, the illumination bar would be nothing more than an ambilight.

But I'm sure we will have custom Android M with camera and RIL before Sony releases a working version for the other phones.

Have you ever used the Z1 compact on current 5.0.2 stock rom? Most 5.1.1 nightlies for SP from three months ago were more stable...

Stop bothering about their software, just buy their hardware. That's how I've been seeing it for years.

Never seen a Z1. Actually in my hometown and in its surroundings I've never seen a single person with a Sony smartphone...

Anyway, I don't think that Sony's ported version will be better than our "home made" ROMs, but seeing old phones getting this amount of support while we are left behind is disappointing.

NOOOO , i dont have my XS anymore. the only thing i miss on ny XS is the D2TW and good camera. everything else is bad, especially the ram and processing power. XSP is better in terms of dev and overall software performance and experience.

Why Xperia S...? Wtf

I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping the 2013 mod range devices gets an 'unexpected surprise'. I hope Sony gets us a taste of Android M.

[Xperia SP General] akashsaini7:
Our SP has somewhat a special chipset & a hard one to develop on. Even Motorola is facing problems developing for 1gen MotoX. (they themselves admit it, although they gonna release 5.1)

I think devs at Sony are not ready to take on the challenge. Even though they have most of the documentation that they don't reveal to us.

From my perspective :cool: OUR DEVS :cool: are Much Better than SONY's.

I really wanna thank our developer family for their hardwork.
[Xperia SP General] Kaffeetrinker:
The Devs at Sony are good programmers, I'm sure about that.

But they have bosses. Maybe a boss who is glad to be able to handle Whatsapp.

Have you ever worked in IT for a boss who has no idea what you are doing? I need a harder word than terrible to describe this situation...

The best programmers can do nothing if the management has no idea what's going on. And never forget the controlling. If your boss doesn't do stupid stuff, the controlling will surely force him to do so...

I take my words back for blaming the devs. Everyone will do what their boss or management says.

Actually it's SONY's policy to be blamed.

Anyways i still find SONY better than other oem's as they are still supporting Z, Zl, Zr, M2.

Search on Google for "github Xperia" and the first result will be the github repositories owned by Sony, then search for the "kernel" repo. You'll find the code there.

Been using Tesla for the last hour and have only one thing to say, it's frickin' amazing. The rom is as smooth as butter. The default theme is a preference. Some may like it, some may not. I, for one, love it. It's really hard to decide whether to keep this or to go back to temasek. But I think I'll be staying with Tesla. The rom is smooth, fast and responsive. Flash it if you want but it's like what's been happening with blisspop lately. You're doing it at your own risk.

Note - U want be able to use focus button for focusing anymore but capture will work fine (That's why it's temporary solution)

Use any root file manager.

1. Navigate to system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8960.kl

2. Open this file in txt editor and navigate to bottom.

3. Now under #Camera keys

Replace [Key 528 FOCUS]

With [Key 528 WAKEUP].

4. Save the file & make sure the permission is 644.

5. Reboot

I hope this helped.
