Thankyou for your valuable work... i'm more than happy to have this ROM.. on my phone...

an issue regarding the 'power button camera on' or rather, jumping to camera while in a call was there with 7.1.1..

is that solved in this..? :)

(and one small, tip, i've setup my cpu max @1.4 which is very ideal for battery and normal temperature...that's a good setting.. maybe anyone can try out. )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
No more power button bug. Once you disable 'Jump to camera', it won't start after pressing power button.

Clocking depends on usage. I usually overclock it (1.7GHz). I'm a heavy user.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] herogame:
beautiful decision, you are god :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] h15.niazmand:
hi mr hitman.xda

thanks for your last build ,now most part of rom work well,but i have a little problem ,as you remember i have send a logcat about sound problem ,now problem exist and some times when i want to use radio , sound quality is so bad and i should restart the phone.

another question is about kernel editor , every thing that is already set by user will be go to default value after restart the phone such as over clock and

and last request :the new function ( enable Gestures (into Device section after User) to manage pickup ) only work when the phone use one kind of lock screen (swipe - pattern ......) , is it possible that we have a new switch to select work in lock mode or no lock mode?

thank dear friend for your nice work for acro s user.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] infearno:
Hello! Have you added oveclocking feature in latest build or it can be used via separate app?

P.S. Thank you for sharing your ROM with us. I'm very happy seeing my Acro S alive again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Thank you. It's my pleasure.

Regarding the sound problem, I worked on it but I'm unable to differentiate the older sound (the one you're talking about)

because I've never noticed it. I've made changes in this build but It isn't fixed (as you said). I'm soon going to release a patch for b03, I'll add changes in it.

I'm going to release a patch for b03, that will fix some of the bugs present in kernel manager, settings and some more...

Ambient light on pickup does work in lock and unlocked mode.

Acro S kernel supports overclocking, you could use any app to overclock your phone. In this ROM I've integrated a separate modded app that works good and has many features.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
Oh, Thanks a ton..! :D that camera problem was annoying..! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bopalmo:
hi hitman,thanks alot for new release and the .zip sony files

the chrome still has that problem when downloading something!

"unable to download due to missing sd card"!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
after you update permission, just restart browser and everything will be fine :D

similarly you do the same thing to every app that requests permission.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashrafonlinenow:
Thanks hitman-xda for hard work ,

I need any call recorder works fine with this Rom with no Bad sound,

I tested more than one recorder and all recorded sound are so bad,

Any help?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] herogame:
thanks hitman-xda,

the problem about "Sound Search for Google Play" app still exist, i can install widget and run it but then i touch it for record and search for sound it will freeze and not work anymore until restart phone, but in history of this app my sound was recognized, can you fix this ? i don't know what is wrong with this app

Sound Search for Google Play address :

Trying new B3

[MENTION=6406816]hitman-xda[/MENTION],

hi, thanks again for the enormous effort you take to keep our age old Xperias to the current generation OSes...

Recently i installed your latest 7.1.1 b3 version, so far so good, glad that you implemented that 'CPU controls' too, helps me very much,

now that i needn't install any other app to do that.. :):):)

One minute check i need to mention was that, why does the icons on notification (battery, signal etc) on the home screen are black..?

Is that a bug or is it like that..? :confused:

also the walkman is now integrated that's awesome...! :D

( note : in the just before prev, version 2.4, i had a very bad sensor (proximity issue) and touch issues, later after using this for nearly a month... that was the main reason to try this update...... lemme, check if it still persist, and i'll update on it)

is there any was, we can OFF that proximity sensor... and those Xperia codes, for sensor checking now don't work right.??? :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Icon's are not black on homescreen, look attachment (they look black on menu screen of Launcher3, thats perfectly normal)

what problems are you facing with proximity sensor? (proximity sensor is the one that turns off the screen when you call someone, after you cover the sensor)

you could turn off other sensors from Settings > configurations > Sensors..

I'll talk to micky regarding this. maybe some other things are conflicting with audio recording.

I think, the recording screen and audio are related. both aren't working together. I've already worked on it. I'll talk to micky regarding this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
HELP PLEASE...!!!! WHY DOES MY PHONE SWITCH OFF BY ITSELF, AT TIMES... Just now while ringing a call, it showed switching off and went off. Later before in th morning, while using just whatsapp, this gor switched off.. And at times while using Google plus app..

The phone while restarting shows, some force close of kernel settings..!

Is that causing my shutdowns..????

PLEASE HELP, ITS SERIOUS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] runekock:
Maybe your battery is getting old. It's a common problem for old batteries to drop instantly from, say, 50% to 0% measured charge.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
no its not going to 0%... when i restart, its still at around the same % when got off, might be doing at around 60 also... but gets off.... and that's not a persistent issue ... see as now, its working ok... no issues... i guess... that its after that 'kernel app has stoppped working" error it goes OFF... :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] herogame:
i have kernel app stopped working some times but about turn off issue i dont know i never saw my phone turned off
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
did you overclocked your cpu? If yes, try using different values or use default values (1.5ghz) and see weather the problem persists.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
usually i underclock it, i set always around 1.4, coz my place is hot now, the environment temp itself is hot, and this thing, if set at 1.5, get hot, even after a minor use like browsing instagram, or G+, so i do set it at 1.4.. but yesterday.. it went a little hotter than usual... and turned off by itself, while starting to attend a call, and once while, on whatsapp.. :confused:

now, today, its cool... (haven't used till now.. don't know after using..) will update later

and BTW, that kernel app issue is very bad, i force stopped it and installed ' Kernel Toolkit ' app... this is the only one which works, without major issues, and which sets the freq even after reboot..

another thing to mention is, the apps (rarely) force close and ask to open again... ( dont understand why) :confused:

AGAIN TURNED OFF..while on call...! ...

RETURNING BACK TO 2.4...! ( i just can't use this)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
Power off bug

[MENTION=6406816]hitman-xda[/MENTION]

sorry to say, but i had to revert back to 7.1.1 2.4 (still it was turning OFF) and FINALLY i settled on 6 Marshmallow..! :(

don't understand what's the problem.

EDIT: nAOSP 6 is perfectly working fine... but i am not able to get that from 7.1.1, i guess those extra 'gesture' settings are ruining my phone, and an UNKNOWN heating problem.. (IT GETS VERY HOT) .

But now im on nAOSP 6 and kind of sad missing great 7.1.1, got used to it such that, 6 looks outdated much..!

and i'm not able to install walkman on 6 now. dmn. all the worries at the same time.! :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Maybe your phone is experiencing any hardware issue! Such problems aren't faced by anyone here. You could just try to turn off every sensor from settings > config and settings > gestures. And try using your phone. Also dont clock. Even I live in 40 degree Celsius and always overclock my cpu. When i feel it is getting hot, i partially deep my phone under water to cool it down but usually i dont have to do this. Also i use wifi all the time (i have a portable wifi dongle) instead of cellular data.

Tomorrow I'll release a patch file for kernel manager and update xperia apps. You could try and let me know what happens. You're the only one with this case.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
Thanks a lot, for your support, btw, i just downgraded to nAOSP 6, and tried all, and found it is perfectly working with every thing..(minus my proximity sensor issue) the rest is fine.

ok, i'll check with that update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Patch file for b03

ALL Xperia apps updated! to MARCH 03 check post#1 for link

Here's a Patch file for b03 (just dirty flash through recovery, no need to clear cache)

It'll fix KernelManager bugs.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] semson:
Hello hitman-xda, thanks for the great work! Ant+ support is very important to me as I need it to connect to heart rate sensor. Is it possible for you to have a look how to implement it in next release?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
please help..

Hi, [MENTION=6406816]hitman-xda[/MENTION]

HI, its been a while, i have been using your prev 2.4v of nAOSP 7.1.1, (b3 gave too much trouble) .. and now today, it gave a shutdown problem.. while a call came when i was capturing photos during mid noon time, happened like, i attended the call, then after 2-3 min, it when power off... and it was feeling hot.

Then in the evening, while browsing the same thing happened, call came, and while attending, after 1min it turned off.. same continued after powering on again, when i made the call back...

1. I checked the kernel toolkit app.. said the battery temp around 46'c - IS THAT OK .?

2. Why is that, even if i set the CPU freq limit to 1404, its using 1500 at times.. (you can see in screenshots)

3. What is that " Auto Power Save " - ambient and application standby option in configuration settings..? (is that causing my shutdowns?) :confused:

A MAJOR note i have to say is that, these above problems are NOT shown with your's nAOSP 6 (MArshmallow) ROM.. wonder WHY..!

But, i got so deeply immersed with the GUI of nought, that, i just simply don't want to go back to 6..!

So please consider my case, and please look into these matters, the most important is the shutdown issue, (other sensor issues are solved, as per your suggestion to turn off sensors and settings related)

Please HELP.. i don't have other way to get it.. running... :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
ANT+ will be hard for me to integrate. I'll ask for micky for it :)

If you are using b03 the try using integrated Kernel Manager app and change clock speed. (If you're using b2.4 you could still flash patch_for_b03, it will install KernelManager)

46 degrees of battery temp. while using nothing is way too much, just because of this you must be experiencing reboots (CPU Hotplug, a safety feature)

In Android 7, MPDecision is enabled, try turing it off with Kernel Manager in CPU Hotplug tab before changing frequencies. (I dont know about Kernel toolkit).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
Hi, installed, kernel manager on b2.4

Turned off, Mp decision, changed freq to 1404

This is the status after long idle...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] h15.niazmand:
Hi@hitman.xda

Thanks for your attention to our problems in new build,

I think most of problem for our friends is a bout their phone hardware issue,now i have no problems the same as them .

as you remember i had sound problem on old version in fm radio ,in your new build this problem has not been solved .

Is it about cache file in phone that cleared after reset(not solve in soft reset) ?

Would we have any way to clear radio sound without reset?

Most of the time when i want to know how is the battery persent , i should unlock phone , would you add battery icon with good size to lock screen icons with ,i think it is very useful for us.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Thats perfect. thats how its suppose to be. Let me know if you experience any other problem.

about sound problem, I cant really say what bug it is.

About the battery status in lockscreen, you could just pull down notification drawer to check OR you could display battery percent in status bar. Check in settings > configuration > status bar
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] h15.niazmand:
hi

about sound problem , if you want to see what is the bug exactly , when the radio is working normal,turn it off then use one video player such as mxplayer for about 1 hour , (no for short time ,1min ) then when you use radio you can see that sound quality is so bad.

about battery icon , i know i can use this notification but i want to have this on line in lock screen because i use glass for my eyes for reading and if i want to see that icon it is hard for me and other people like me .

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashrafonlinenow:
Just waiting for b04, I hope sound problem with call recording and screen recorder will fix

At All Thanks for hitman-xda and mickybart for keep working on our devices

turn off overclocking

[MENTION=6406816]hitman-xda[/MENTION]

hi, is there any way to turn off overclocking in the kernel. Or is it possible to flash a stock non overclocked kernel to this ROM.?

If so, please could you suggest one.

I'm still having the power off problem, it happens when i'm using some things like a game or instagram, and when a call comes, it powersOFF.. also it would have been hot at the back.. even if i'm having 50% battery. But there is no issue, if no call comes, or if play heavy games through out...

SO my guess is, the CPU might be throttling to over max freq. at those times, and phone might be switching OFF..:confused:

please have a look into this matter and help me with.... :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
I'll try and I've already checked the volume problem.

b04 will be late or acro s. I'm having some problems right now.

don't use apps that runs in background throughout. Use Greenify app to hibernate apps. Logically, newer versions of ROMs aren't made for low end devices plus low battery capacity.

I'll check it on Win10. Let you know

There's feature integrated in the ROM (thermanager) which turns off device if it reaches at a fixed point of temperature. Check what is making your phone hot. Try to use less apps running in background all the time.

I'm not sure if there's any kernel available, even if it does, most of the nAOSP features will not work with it.
[Off-topic] Mrchewson:
Hi all, new to the forum so thought I'd do this as my first post,

I have had android since it came out in 2008 on the G1 phone, having it for so long I fancied a change so traded my s6 edge plus for an iPhone 6s.

I had the iPhone for 2 weeks but really didn't get on with it, I'm not saying it's a bad phone but coming from an OS which is hugely customisable /tweekable I couldn't deal with the lack of deep editing and customisation so here are my pros and cons:

Ios:

Pros:

Really easy to use, a child could competently use one in a matter of hours,

Worked really well with my macbook air

Looks lovely.

No worries about malware or crap ad pushing apps.

Apple pay was brilliant

3d touch was great.

Updates are immediate after release and consistent.

Huge array of quality 3rd party accessories

Cons

Battery life was shocking,

Screen resolution is very dated and looks nowhere near as good as my androids

Camera was not as good and the macro was terrible

It felt like I didn't own the phone but was leasing it from Apple.

No customisation, the menus etc look so dated

No resizable keyboard,

Live wallpapers are extremely limited and didn't work well

No widgets

No sd card

Couldn't use it as a mass storage device.

ITunes has to be used for everything, and that's a bag of poop,

Replying and starting threads on the fretboard is a pain in the arse, they keyboard was constantly in the way of what I was typing.

The biggest thing for me was the fact you couldn't get into the system files,

I had the 16 version and had 1.2gbs worth of apps but 5gb of documents and data after 3 days if use! After a lot of research it's a known big issue they have not addressed And you can't do anything about it at all so half my storage was taken up by rubbish.

Android:

Pros:

Total freedom to customise everything,

Themes

Better camera

Better screen

Apps are cheaper or free

Much better battery life (from the phones I have had)

Cheaper

Integration with cloud and Google is phenomenal,

Can be used as mass storage and any file type can be played

Cheaper to insure

More storage space, and you can get rid of stuff you dont need.

The list goes on...

Cons:

Anyone can make an app so there is a load of crap, you have to do your homework on the apps available

Potential for malware (but this is nowhere as much of an issue as apple and the media make out, as long as you dont sideload apps.

Updates reliant on oem and carrier.

So after two weeks I sold the iPhone and got a HTC 10 which for me is better in literally every way.

I found on the iPhone I was using all of Google services and none of apples (drive, chrome Gmail etc)

Sifr is also nowhere near as good as Google now, and felt extremely limited compared.

I can totally see why people would stick with an iPhone as it does just work and works well but for me it's far to limited and had to find too many work arounds to get it to do what I want,

On the other hand my macbook air is the greatest laptop I have ever used and I would never buy anything else in the future.

So this is def not an apple bashing thread these are purely my direct experiences and fancied writing them down:)
[Off-topic] Robertethornburg:
In my opinion, both these platforms are slick, stable and secure, with thousands of apps available. Android is undoubtedly more customisable; iOS, you might argue, is a little more polished (especially on tablets). Visually they're quite distinctive too, taking different design approaches.
[Off-topic] morozshaun:
I prefer Android, and I think I always will prefer Android. I always was a Google & Android fanboy, and the fact that I mostly use only Google service, proves I couldn't be an iPhone user. Also, iOS is not open-source, which blocks customization and more. Plus, I don't like Siri :P
[Off-topic] Mrchewson:
To be honest that was the turning point for me, I did use any of apples apps all Google, they're leagues ahead, def proud to be a Google fanboy
[Off-topic] Ka-B00M:
I find iPhones to be slow, unstable, unreliable, unpolished, counter-intuitive and extremely limited. They have mediocre cameras, mediocre screens, crappy battery life, and NO MICROSD SLOT. Also, iOS is very difficult to use and SIRI SUCKS. I don't want all these problems in a >$750 device that can only run one operating system.
[Off-topic] Aloha20924:
Google Voice may finally be available for the iPhone, but the experience will never be the same as it is on Android. Other iPhone apps always direct you to the default dialer and visual voicemail apps, so even if you want to use Google Voice full time, you have to manually navigate it to yourself. On Android, apps like Google Voice integrate directly with the operating system—if you want to make calls with Google Voice, every call you make from the phone's dialer goes through Google Voice. When you click on a phone number in your browser or in Google Maps, it goes through Google Voice instead of sending you to the wrong dialer. True app integration like this makes using custom phone, SMS, voicemail, and even browser apps absolutely seamless on Android, which is something you won't find on the more locked-down iPhone platform.
[Off-topic] Ka-B00M:
I should add that to my rant. I appreciate some of what Apple has done (most of it happened before I was born), but locking down everything is not one of them. Apple would've gone broke if it wasn't for their iPod. Part of the reason: Locking their stuff like that and being proprietary. Also, Apple products are not compatible with my real-world personality. I like freedom and to have control over what I own, and Apple products look, feel, and function like someone else's device. I want my stuff to look, feel, and function like my stuff. So I guess I am an Apple hater, but I won't yet call myself an Android fanboy. And, no, I am not the one person in the world with a Windows phone. I hate Windows for different reasons. So I guess I can only enjoy using a Linux-based OS on desktop and laptop computers. And OSes like Android and Sailfish on mobile.

In case you want a summary of what I said, you can call me an Apple and/or MS hater, or a Linux lover, I don't care. But don't call me an Android fanboy. I like Android, but I am willing to try other OSes if they fit my personality of freedom, customization, simplicity, transparency, and reliability.

[Off-topic] fruitymilk:
At that moment using both iOS and Android. The only thing i really hate about android is that after some time device starting to perform really poor lagging freezing and so on and you cannot fix it by doing hard reset wiping all your data, it helps a little but its barely helps. So i cannot recommend to buy for inexperienced users android devices for a long term use. Long story short, i bought nexus 7 tablet when it was just released, it was super fast and smooth. Didn't install any os updates on it and after 1 year i couldn't enjoy it anymore, constantly lagging. Never experienced the same with iOS, always smooth, but yeah it has lots of limitations.
[Off-topic] Ka-B00M:
Nexus devices are meant to be tinkered with so they will slow down unless you mess with them. My cheap tablet had no noticeable slowdown in 4 years. iOS doesn't slow down because it is already slow.
[Off-topic] Kinanizer:
Daniel Marchena recently wrote an article for XDA that relates to this topic and I think he made some good points on Android vs IOS. What it comes down to for me though is the fun of hacking the device. I personally had a lot of fun jailbreaking the iPhone, and iMessage is some of the coolest stuff ever. Although after switching to Android I don't think I'm ever going to go back. It's nicer being encouraged to play with Android then playing cat and mouse with Apple.
[Off-topic] avnow8:
both are very different working platform, I use to be a IOS user iPhone 2g but after iPhone 4s i made a desicion to switch to android, with android has so much possibilites, you can do more with an android then an iPhone, iPhone is pretty basic and yeah a child could use... One thing i noticed is that gaming on an Iphone is much better with good FPS.. there hardware is so much optimized with the software.. currently using S7 edge and really happy with it, except some minor issues.. Glad to have a headphone jack though :P
