Characters Replaced by Squares in Apps

Hi, am fairly pleased with this ROM due to awesome amounts of free ram and huge read/write memory speeds that no other ROM can match, i have tried quite a few..

The 23678 versions (v1 and v2) both have a small issue for me in that some letters/numbers are replaced by a square. Unfortunately I can not use the calculator and at least one other app (chainfire Turbo 3d) I can not read menus etc.

Example of this is attached.

Does anyone else have this occurring on there phone? Is it something like the Rom not being able to display certain character / font, or is it a bug, maybe able to fix it?

Cheers for any help.

New Build 23680 v1

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
To me works very well. Your problem may came from something else that you have installed (buttons looks different, you've installed another theme - this could be the problem) or you have installed another fonts.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twerg:
Thank you

Thanks Laurenti, I have pin pointed the problem. It was a Today Screen plugin (Pocket Digital Clock) that was causing the character glitches. Did a hard reset, installed app by app, soon became apparent.

Now need to find a replacement large digital clock...

Thanks for your ROM, love the speed of it, sure I will check out 23680 sometime soon, low on download data currently.

Device Storage speed

Hi Laurenti,

Just wondering how come there is such a difference in Main Storage Read/write speed benchmarks between this latest Rom 23134 and the previous, 23680.

23134 has a write Speed index on SKTools of about 1000 KB/Sec and read of about 5000 KB/Sec.

23680 easily doubled/tripled this with write about 10,000 KB/Sec and read of about 15,000 KB/Sec.

I always use Tnyynt SD TuneUp to increase speeds for SD card, is there something similar or some reg keys to modify to gain better read/write speeds.

It is always nice to be able to access data just that bit faster, makes installing apps to Main Storage sensible.

Good ROM as always however, not that there is much else I can tell that is different from last ROM.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
Really. Something not right with 23134. Now I'm trying 23683 and results are : w=11702 / r=18846.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ldskaza:
For me its the fastest room from our series. And IGO PRIMO finally is working normally, without freezing the phone.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
Glad to hear it. I gonna watch at 23134, maybe find out what's wrong.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rolandtong:
Are you pertaining 23680 the fastest?

Are you pertaining 23680 the fastest?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twerg:
The figures I provided previously were a little conservitive, not exect but pretty spot on.

I have found most of Laurenti Roms very fast with very high read/write speeds, pretty much all bar 23134 and one other a while ago. All others have had very high KB transfer speeds which is why I have chosen his ROMS for my X1. Plus due to being a very lite ROM and a very good starting point, I think he puts out one of the best ROM about.

Was happy with 23680, one of the fastest, if not the fastest so far (internal storage at least), just a few freezes here and there. I did have a small with it too glitch but that was my fault with a Today Screen Plugin. So thought I would try this latest one.

Fantastic job you are doing Laurenti. Thanks

Hardware keyboard - "Sym" button

Hi all,

Firstly, Laurenti, an excellent ROM - very stable which is important for a work phone and email device. Many thanks for giving my X1 extra life! Probably one of the very few truly "clean" ROMs.

Does anyone know how to change the "Sym" button on the hardware keyboard to open up the original Symbol touch keyboard? It currently simply pops the standard on screen keyboard which of course with the hardware keyboard in play isn't much use!

Thanks again.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] apocalypse_bg:
Hi Laurenti,

great ROM as always. Just a little Bug report regarding the lastest version.

While playing something in WMP, if you turn off the screen (manually with the power button or automatic from the power settings) the phone resets.

Also I don't have Internet on the X1 when it's connected to the PC via active sync. Is this some error on my side or it's from the size reduction?

Keep up with the perfect work :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zard:
Thanks for the dialer. It works very well with my TP2.

New version - 23134_v2

- more free main storage (402 MB )

- smaller (53 MB), cleaner and faster than v1

- removed some unnecessary files

I run SkTools benchmark for Main storage and results are : write=12288 KB/sec and read=19081 KB/sec.

I hope now it's fine.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twerg:
23134 V2

Hi Laurenti,

Have this version 2 of 23134 flashed, is better. Cheers.

The read/write figures for Main Storage are much improved and vary from between approx;

Read 8200KB, Write 11,000KB with device being on/used for some time

and

Read 11,000KB, Write 18,000 after a soft reset.

Even SD card (with Tnyynt SD Tuneup) is Read 14,400KB, dont get that on any other ROM iv tried. Write is always shocking though, between 150KB - 350KB no matter what ROM.

Have had 5 freezes which required a soft reset, phone just locked up. Free Up RAM on SKTools does this..

Overall quite happy with this improvement, feels solid.

On a side, I notice in your signature that on your own X1 you use 23676 (not sure whether V1 or V2), do you prefer this ROM, do you feel this is the best one? Or you just dont have the time to keep updating? I have tried it though not for long, as soon as 23678 came out I went to that.

Cheers and thanks again, top work!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
I use 23134 v2. I forgot to update my signature.

Have not flashed this yet, but at 41meg this is incredible. Just how much more clean can it get?

Dont use keylock most times, dont need Clear Storage because you can hard reset, never really take notice of the LED's for illumination, must not be much else to remove.

Just one question, what is the file to be installed on to SD Card used for?

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ted presley:
Yeah, what a lite ROM. I have the same question: why we have to copy the file to the root of SD card?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twerg:
I have downloaded and worked it out now. File for SD Card contains My Documents, Program Files and Windows folder. So, using this ROM with a SD Card is a must. I wonder how different this will operate being much lighter and with these folder being relocated. I will be trying this later tonight, at work atm.

On a side, I have just noticed that with all this ROM changing I am doing that my X1 case around the battery cover has broken on both sides, darn.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twerg:
23135 v2

Hi, Have flashed this but have had a few glitches.

Default theme works well but when I use a different theme some buttons dont show or are not skinned.

I thought the file to be placed on SD Card was the system files and program files, maybe intended to cut down on files installed in rom on the device itself, place them on SD Card. Not so, everything installs on internal storage. Not sure what the reason for SD Card file.

This ROM feels even faster still than its immediate predecessor, very snappy! Especially the file system. I like!

For time being reverted back to previous. Am happy with that one, dont need the New Contact screen.

Just have to settle for one ROM one day... ;)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sLumPia:
So what happen if I connect the X1 with PC as Disk Driver? IIRC, when I select that option, Windows didn't have access to the storage card
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] twerg:
Dont know sorry.

I got ahead of myself when posting that. Those folders are what you extract to the SD Card but when you flash the new ROM those folders are installed on the device storage, not SD Card. I am not sure why it needs to go on to SD Card in first instance, maybe to reduce the size of the ROM file, maybe a standard set of files/programs Laurenti wishes to use on future ROMS so smaller ROM downloads, just download ROM not programs for future updates??? I thought when I first saw this latest version that the program files and necessary windows files went on to SD Card, hence the need to always have a SD Card, do not being in device storage in an effort to further reduce memory load/increase speed/increase available ram etc.

I dont know really, just enjoy playing with new ROMS. Love the spped and free room of Laurenti's roms.

Though it would be nice to have a Sense based ROM with the speed benefits of Laurenti's ROMS. No Sense ROMS have the read/write speeds that his ROMS offer, not even one comes close from wht I have seen.

Power settings taskbar

Romanian: Salut! Multumesc mult pentru ROM-uri. Acum cateva zile m-am intalnit cu varianta 23135 v2 si pot sa spun ca zboara :eek: !!!

Totusi, link-ul la power management din taskbar nu funtioneaza... As mai avea o rugaminte, daca se poate: sa ramana butonul X liber pentru a instala X-panels si sa adaugi daca poti macar un cab cu un taskmanager in taskbar.

Scuze daca imi scapa ceva, poate trebuia sa instalez ceva din cab-urile puse la dispozitie ca sa rezolv problema cu scurtatura de la power management si nu m-am prins. Inca o data iti multumesc din suflet pentru ROM-ul asta superb. astept cu nerabdare o varianta noua!

English: Hi! thanks a lot for the ROMs! a few days ago I met the 23135 v2 version and it simply flies :eek: !!!

Still, the link to power management settings from the taskbar doesn't seem to work... As a request, leaving the X-button free for the X-panels installation would be nice and to add a taskmanager in the taskbar as default or a cab...

Sorry if I'm missing something and maybe I should've installed one of the provided cabs to solve the power management link problem. Big thanks again for all the work and I can't wait for a new version!

File that have to be copied to the SD Card
