[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikeportnoyz:
Hi everyone!

So long story short I used to have an Xperia Neo, and a few months ago, ending up in the xda developement section here, I decided to try and unlock the boodloader, root it, and put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, after hours and hours of googling.

That phone is now almost destroyed (mechanically, because of myself) but I have another Xperia, this time a Neo V, which I'd like to "improve" in this way.

I am wondering, anybody has any advice on how to go about it?

This is what I'm looking for:

- Have at least some modern apps working (whatsapp, spotify, messenger?)

- Have the ability to put them on SD card and not internal memory

- No bugs on common stuff like telephone, SMS and browser

- No extra battery drain than what I already have

Any advice how to go about it? Should I go the CM13 way? CM11? Is there even one stable custom mod anywhere I can find without bugs? My CM11 was rather buggy and didn't support most apps (no facebook messenger, etc), and I couldn't put all of my programs on the SD but just part of them.

Any help would be appreciated. Just something like "oh this mod works well and the links are still alive, go here *link*".

Hope I'm in the right section.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikeportnoyz:
Just to be clear, I'm not asking "what is the best ROM", as I saw that is forbidden here.

I am asking: if I wanted the phone to run smoothly, what way should I go about it? Should I root it again and go Cyanogenmod? Should I look into other possibilities? Would I get a better result just going stock and using gapps and other apps that remove bloatware instead?

If anyone has got this phone to a good standard please just let me know how you did it and I'll be super grateful.

There are so many ways to go about it I honestly have no idea where to start with

Hey guys I'm pretty desperate here.. I tried asking this on SO but can't get anyone to help...

So when I try to view any of the xml's such as activity_main.xml, in the Design tab or the Text tab where it's supposed to render.. i get this message

"Rendering Problems

Failed to load platform rendering library"

Everything I google says to drop API levels to match the minimum level (by clicking the green Android button with the number next to it).. which I have done. I've tried making different projects with different minimum API/OS versions and I can't get past this error.

I've even downloaded EVERY API level in the SDK Manager.. from lvl 7 to 24.. and none work. I try to clean the build and then rebuild.. just nothing is working and I'm going insane. Someone please help =[

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the search function keeps giving me an error so I couldnt search the site.

Anyway anyone experience this issue, and if so were you able to fix it?

Some background info:

I am not in possession of the phone, my cousin in another state does. Last time I saw him I removed the ads, and installed recovery. I was thinking that maybe he needs to flash a different kernel because when I last had the phone wifi was working fine, so I'm thinking maybe it got an update that "broke" it...

Any thoughts?

Looking for a little flair for your new Pie, Oreo, or Nougat ROMs? I know I was. Presenting OmniSwitch for Pie, Oreo, + Nougat! Just flash in recovery and enjoy the convenience. Thanks to [MENTION=4683552]maxwen[/MENTION] for this amazing work - this app is totally not mine, just ported it cuz OmniSwitch is so crucial to me I won't use ROMs without it and I wanna try O already :p

Edit: Wanted to try P already this year :p

App should work fine for those on older Android versions if they wish to use it as well on a ROM without OmniSwitch - originally designed for AOSiP N and redone for O, this flashable is now built directly from Omnirom source for P with no particular ROM in mind. These should be universal so long as your ROM isn't signed in a way that blocks installation. Enjoy!

Does it overlay the default app recent switcher?
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
Open OmniSwitch settings and you can use it to replace recents or use it alongside with the handle and use recents normally. I prefer to use it as recents personally...
[Android Apps and Games] xNAPx:
How do I replace the default app recent switcher though?
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I believe your ROM at least needs the FW commits to support OmniSwitch to enter settings and replace recent - however, I use it with LMT and simply assign my LMT recent button to OmniSwitch as opposed to recents, works like a charm in cases where ROM does not support it. Also, if using SlimNav or DUI navbar, you can reassign the hardware buttons but I am guessing you are using this on Nougat as well, so I would suggest LMT.
[Android Apps and Games] xNAPx:
What is LMT? I'm on marshmallow by the way (arter97 rom CM13 on 1plus 3
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
LMT Launcher is an app for pie control.

Here is a toggle for OmniSwitch - can't set it as default recents if you ROM doesn't support it, but if you can assign shortcuts anywhere or anything in your ROM, here's a toggle courtesy of [MENTION=4688987]kikuto[/MENTION].

I don't know from "Permissive or enforcing," nor do I know what recovery log you are referring to.
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
You need to do some Googling, friend. These sorts of mods are things that should come after learning some of the basics of having a rooted device. Read up on permisive vs enforicng SELinux. Google TWRP recovery log, also. Lastly - you did not describe what your problem actually is at all, you just gave a guide to rooting your device. In order to help you I would need some more information, and you also would need to read up a bit on some of the information mentioned prior. I hope that helps - I will certainly be here if you are still having issues after doing a bit of research and preparation on your end :good:

It appears to have flashed - the only error I see is not an error, but my "error" dialog in the updater script I added as a joke. There's no error 1 or any error status? If not, it appears to me the zip flashed - you do not have OmniSwitch in your app drawer? Do you have an OmniSwitch folder in /system/priv-app?
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I'd need to know what ROM/build date the apk was extracted from to know if this is even more updated than my latest or not, truthfully. If it's a recent build, then likely it would be helpful indeed. Thanks for pointing this out and if you or anyone happen to come across this info, let me know.

So, I have not seen anyone successfully get this working on 8.1 with full features, and I've scoured the internet. Does anyone know how to disable signature verification (the reason this doesn't work) on Oreo 8.1? Even LP seemingly can't do it from my own tests and others results I have read online. There was a Magisk module that could do it but it has not worked on versions since Android M.

Restricted mode typically means the ROM was signed with a different/specific key. I'm using it on NOS without issues and the apk was built straight from Omni source, but NOS is not signed any special way. As per maxwen himself (discussion starts on page 4 of this thread if you are interested) there's not anything that can be done if your ROM won't grant OmniSwitch the perms it needs.

To all those saying it does not work on oreo 8.1, I have been running it on screw'd 8.1.0 r 33 unofficial for shamu since I switched from coltOS 8.0 in the spring with no problems what so ever. I used LP and it worked without a hitch. If it hadn't I would have gone back down to 8.0 as I must have omniswitch. I followed the instructions I found for installing after searching on startpage.com it still comes up pretty high in the list though it's an older article now. I have been using this since nougat. Also for those mentioning stock how can you even install a zip without a custom recovery and ROM? ADB maybe? Never done anything with ADB except installing TWRP so I do not remember.

I am not done searching for an answer yet so if I find it I will come back and edit this part out, but, can you no longer replace the default app switcher in pie? Just installed it today and while the home launcher works fine the app switch button still brings up the dumb new horizontal one. I looked in the omniswitch app like I normally do but the only mention of recents is the revert to bottom tick box. I remember it used to have a replace default recents option.

Edit: so to clarify i am talking about getting it to show omniswitch when you push the recents button. I am sure there used to be a tick box that allowed you to replace it. I downgraded back to 8.1 and it isn't in the omniswitch menu on Oreo any longer either. Granted i did not install it from this thread rather from the omniswitch magisk module. Is this option still available for anyone on oreo omniswitch from this thread? It works fine swiping on the pull handle, i just liked the option. Honestly i usually swipe the handle, but, whatever.

BTW, for those still having trouble with 8.1 I would now suggest the magisk module if you use magisk as it works without LP.
