Right, in order to install 3rd party apps, your guy should not install data.zip :)

Everything is fine for me without it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
I just want to add, i have had no issues at all, market has worked from the start and no force closures so far.

The battery life is good using juice defender and overall this rom is fast and smooth.

I suggest those having issues with market to start from the beginning again, it would be quicker doing it than messing about trying to find another solution also maybe do not use xrecovery/restore/advanced/data, just try a fresh install and wipe your caches/data and check you have the right baseband, hope those having issues get them sorted, it wlll be worth it in the end.;):)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mr. pink:
same problem here and i tried the vending flash aswell one thing i noticed is tha the text that says installing gets compressed could it have something to do with custum theme i installed the froshted theme first?

Wolf can we have a fix to have an opac dialer ? it's really the only thing that can make the rom perfect. Moreover the facte that the dial is transparrent make it open more slowy. :o

I want to try out the ROM later/soon, but I have Link2SD installed on my 2.1 ROM, will the sd card, which has 2 partitions, cause problems and does Link2SD work on that ROM? I want to access my Apps after resoring the backup from Titanium Backup...

Also Wi-fi never worled for me on z Beta 1 and Beta 4 ROMs, is there a chance that it works on this ROM?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SK_007:
Hi Wolfbreak,frankly speaking 4.5 is better then 4.4 in every aspect(at least for me).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mcfisch:
For me 4.5.7 works better, especially belonging to the wifi reconnecting to well known networks. With the last version it reconnects automatically to my home wifi net, without the need of doing that manually (and that was often unsuccessful with 4.4).

Btw, as reported earlier, thats the only issue I had... Everything else (which I need) works perfectly, including the car bt handsfree feature. I don't need the camera often, mostly for "screenshots" of my car driver information system (to keep the mileage for registering it in my online car logbook together with fuel amount + prize).

I usually restore my important data (like special app settings, netcounter data, savegames and so on) and settings (especially bt pairings and wifi connections) by using TitaniumBackup and had never problems caused by that - just only if a new app version can't work with it's own backup or old data (i.e. the early Go Launcher EX releases).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bwyan Benton:
No i actually mean just hangs up...ends call. Never happened once on your rom until the latest update so i dont know what happened.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
You should try to make a clean flash again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dibberly:
any chance of getting pictures from facebook to update your contact pictures like the stock 2.1 does???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sharkdul101:
same thing is happening to me but mine last longer than 3 min.. but not more than 4.. reflashed 3 times already.. same thing..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bwyan Benton:
I want to...believe me. But calls keep hanging up. I flashed it twice. I waiting for a very important call, i need it to work for that reason. Once i get that call i will flash again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kindred7:
4.5.7 is by far better for me. I haven't had any problems at all besides the known wifi disconnects. Just one thing I noticed however with Sysctl the settings you previously had about 2 days ago worked better for me than the current settings posted, so i reverted back to it.

This is the current Sysctl posted:

vm.min_free_kbytes = 20480

vm.dirty_ratio = 90

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55

vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20

oom kill checked

These are the ones I reverted to:

(Had to go on memory, wasnt a hundred percent sure on what you had before, this still improved my experience.)

vm.min_free_kbytes = 20480

vm.dirty_ratio = 95

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55

vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 1

oom kill checked

Only a slight change but I noticed significant changes in how the phone responded. Personally wolf, im not sure how so many ppl have such problems assuming we all have flashed the phone the same way.

My process for flashing any rom by xrecovery is as follows:

1) Backup apps with titanium backup, backup sms and call logs with mybackuproot

I don't use the restore option in xrecovery for apps because I recall a dev saying that there is a possibility of the application maps or links causing issues when restored, something like that. Either way the general idea there is a possibility of problems.

2) I backup my current rom in xrecovery.

3) I wipe everything off the phone using xrecovery such as dalvic, battery stats in advanced options. I wipe the cache partition, then i factory reset in case I missed anything.

4) I follow the instructions for installing the rom.

5) Once everything is all settled and market is in place I restore backed up data with titanium and mybackuproot

If it helps anyone my original rom is x10a 2.1.A.0.435 using the X10i 58 baseband. I noticed for me at least the performance of the x10i baseband is generally better.

EDIT: Another thing I forgot to mentioned, I also use a program called "AutoKiller Memory Manager". Its not a task killer, but instead it modifies the memory thresholds of android. You can select several levels of MB to keep free, this helps to remove any noticeable lag.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
When s.o. post s.thing on Facebook trough Timescape it shows that it is posted "via SEMC App Development 2".

Could that be fixed :confused:

It will be sweeter if it's s.thing like "via Xperia"?

vm.min_free_kbytes = 20480

vm.dirty_ratio = 90

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 70

vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 1

oom kill checked

is the right one.

It brings better Performance but it can couse more drain then the ones i posted.

Question:

I´ve changed the ringtone ( using PowerAmp for example ) and it works,... i go to sound options->incoming calls->ringtone and there´s my new ring tone, but... but once i reboot it doesn´t work, it snooze one, and then it only vibrate... and the ringtone has disappeared from sound options->incoming calls->ringtone...

Anybody knows why ? :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
Other question xD

I can move all the apps to my phone again, so I don't have the Link2SD problem...

Does the 2nd partition of the SD card cause any problems with this ROM?

Sorry for the questions, I only have a bit free time today, so I don't want to brick my X10...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
So far no dropped calls on 4.5, considering I'm with at&t :D. I have't noticed any speaker or sound issues either when using headphones and I get a call. Wifi connectivity has always worked and never had any trouble. I don't use BT so I really can't comment on the reported issues. Battery drain has been inconsistent, some days are good some are bad even though I'm not doing anything different. I'll try changing Sysctl to the settings below and observe it for a couple of days.

vm.min_free_kbytes = 20480

vm.dirty_ratio = 95

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55

vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 1
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dkyu:
Thanks for the rom! It is the best 2.2 rom that I tried.

I flashed v4.5.7, and function-wise, everything is working fine.

The only problem I am having is the battery life. The phone doesn't seems to go to standby mode, and the battery of my phone drains for about 5% an hour even when I am not using it.

Does anyone have the same problem with me? any solution to it?

I am in bb .54 and using ADW launchers.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
I'm still on 4.4, mainly because I don't want to reflash and start all over again - I'm almost out of my data usage limit from my provider. I'll hold off upgrading until a newer update comes along.. like 4.6 maybe.

For now 4.4 works perfectly fine for me except for one weird issue I faced only today. Nobody was able to call me on my number, they said the call dialed, and then just ended with a beep. I tested it myself by dialing my cellphone from my landline and 2 other cellphones I have and I experienced the same. It was weird 'coz I had full range and was able to surf etc. from my phone too.

I then went to Dev Tools - Crash system server. Phone rebooted and I proceeded to test it again by calling my cellphone from other phones, but same experience. The call dialed out and just ended abruptly with a 'beep' sound. Really weird.

I then called my landline from my cellphone, and then, once again proceeded to call my cellphone from my landline and my other cellphones - and guess what - this time it worked perfectly, albeit I still heard the 'beep' sound when calling.

Not really sure what was acting up, but I faced this issue the first time ever. I wasn't even aware of this happening until all my pals began calling my other cellphone telling me they can't call to the X10 coz the call just ended whenever they tried.

Do you have any idea what might have caused this? I never had this issue on any 2.1 FW or Baseband I had before and even on your ROM this is the first instance of it happening.

Current config : Your ROM v4.4, Baseband 2.1.54, Stock SE kernel.

Stoopid Question

D'you mean to 'kill' the tick in the check box next to "Oom Allocating Task", or d'you mean that "Oom Allocating Task"="Oom kill" and should be checked (i.e. tick in box)?

Sorry, just can't work it out.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elroysk:
The 4.4 is better for me because the 4.5.7 version had a lot of "force close" intermittent. the "root explorer" every second line disappeared. the background of the contacts made at the end of random hopping. me a lot of "force close" the most confusion. 4.4 perfect! :)

Installed it now. Seems great. First time that Wi-Fi works on a 2.21 ROM for me :)

But my phone thinks the 2nd partition is the right one :(

When I connect it to my pc it shows the right one, with the files.

Backing up my files now and then I'll delete the 2nd partition and it should be fine again.

But in xRec it detects the partition with the files as the right one, strange...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Yeah thats normal in 2.2 and above becouse they support nativ App2SD already.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
Ah, okay.

Didn't know that.

But I think Link2SD works on 2.21, too. I'll install it again, maybe it fixes the problem(?).

EDIT:

Deleting the partition right now...

Keep going WB and all other Devs that made your ROm possible.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] indesisiv:
Indtall v4.5 then 4.5.7
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lofwyr:
Before step 3. Did you made all the "Clearing" in xRecovery (Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wide Dalvik, Wipe Battery Stats)?

In Step 3, you need to install all the 3 files without exit xRecovery or reboot (CM6.1.3-V4.5.zip; CMUpdate 4.5.7.zip and CM-V4.5Gapps.zip). And then reboot phone. Everything should work.

After reboot you need to open and login on Market. Than you can reboot back to xRecovery and flash New Market.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Flo95:
Is it possible to add automatic brightness?

That would be great.

Coming from 2.1 I'm impressed from the speed of this ROM.

the speaker problem us caused by soundhound. someone in this forum mentioned it. So i uninstalled the soundhound and tadaaa...the speaker issue is solved.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a.monteiro:
4.5.7 seems more stable than 4.4 to me.

About battery life (it's a wild guess since i'm a noob), i believe it's going back to normal. When i bought my phone, the battery would drain super fast and it took days of use and recharges until it started to last the ideal 2 days period. I don't know, maybe some procedure reverts it back to that initial state...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] coolsid8:
I Tried all that but is the same although i did install data2sd when i installed 4.4

Does that affect anything.

I mean i formatted everything,deleted cache,wiped cache partition etc...

but still i am able to boot into 4.4 without any radio,sd card etc..

Is this bcoz of data2sd ??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ImS0Raw:
WHAT :O I was running Soundhound, but before the Camcorder fix I didn't have this. So the Camcorder fix has caused something with Soundhoud that made the earspeaker have confilct stuff XD

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a.monteiro:
some people answered you already but, let's go...

Are you doing factory reset and wiping out the cache/dalvik/battery etc? after that you need to install in order: CM6.1.3v4.5 first, then CM6.1.3updatev4.5.7 and finally Cm6.1.3v4.5 gapps

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] admartian:
Great ROM Wolf!

But just a question, I've been getting Quadrant scores of ~900-1000 and Linpack of ~18-22. Wondering how one installs Data2sd, as I've heard this improves performance considerable.

I've tried installing it but hangs indefinitely on xRecovery.

I've had a look around this site as well as others, but can't get an exact proicedure of how to do it. I know that the SD card needs to be formatted/partitioned, but apart from that, I am at a loss.

Any help would be appreciated. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
No its eating mine
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] allskin:
Simple, flash the data2sd zip u can find in the first post right after u flashed the rom zip. Without reboots between the files.

But there is something wrong with your linpack score cause this is way too low for a 2.2 rom

sorry for my poor english...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] admartian:
I thought so.

I've tried that a ouple of times. But the progress bar on xRecovery 'freezes' for ages after flashing, 4.5 -> 4.5.7 update -> Gapps. :confused:

Not sure if I'm doing it wrong or something. I don't have a partition setup currently if that helps.

Thanks for the reply. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
When flashing data2sd the progress bar looks stuck leave it and it will finish it takes ages to install it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] newalopez:
the testers of the old settings could confirm me if this works:

vm.min_free_kbytes = 16284

vm.dirty_ratio = 90

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55

vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20

I'm not an expert on kernel settings, but maybe vfs_cache_pressure in 1, as new settings ask, it's too low, maybe faster but consumes more .. not sure, but for me, using 20 as last statement, it's better.

Edited (checked link again, cache pressure is on 20 again) .. Thanks again for the great rom ;)

also, maybe, with asking for 20mb of free space, it's too much, if you have a lot of apps, and you ask more, they will load again alone, that will consume more cpu... MAYBE.

As I said, I'm not an expert, but coming back to these old settings, it's getting my consumption as V4.4 did, far better than 4.5.6 and 4.5.7.

Regards.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] admartian:
Oh ok, cool. How long does that take, roughly? Am I expecting between 10-15 minutes?

And do I not need to have a partition?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
I have to tried loads of these settings but none seem to work. It also seems that most of these settings are experimental and trial and error. I have to use setcpu and set CPU for when battery gets low to try and control the drain a little. I have used a few roms and while this is the most functional the battery drain is huge
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
No partition just flash it leave it and wait it will install honest don't worry about time limit it will just leave it it will be fine

More info, I'm currently at 4.5.6

Baseband .55
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Im 100% sure Battery drain is due to some Settings and Apps that everyone use. Some say 4.5.7 is perfect some say it drains. Some say 4.4 drains not and others say 4.4 drains and 4.5.7 not. And BT and Wifi issues arent there for everyone its different for all due to other Hardware but i hope soon it works perfectly for all but Battery drain is 100% no ROM issue and 4.4 or 4.5.7 should have almost same Battery only 4.5.7 sysctl Settings can cause more drain becouse they are optimized for Performance but look in 1 Post i updated sysctl Settings that wil bring improved Battery Life and better Performance.

P.S: 58 Baseband works better then earlier for me so try different Baseband if you have issues some have better Signal with 54 or 55 and some with 58. I have alot better Signal since 58 and better Battery Life.
