The rPort Project is a collection of ROM ports for every major skinned version of Android (e.g. MotoBlur, Touchwiz, Sony UX, etc.). These ROMs are fully stable all through development and are ready for everyday use as new features are being ported. An rPort is different than a traditional port for the fact that we slowly introduce features into the ROM as they become operational. Thus keeping the ROM's ready for everyday activity.
Xpert ROM is the XPERIA rPort.

We spend large amount of our free time developing these rPort’s. We can't spend as much time on XDA due to this, so if you need assistance, please try the following:

1) Search. They have a search function for a reason. There are many pages in our thread and an answer may be in there if you do a little digging.

2) Try working out your issue yourself before posting it. You may be able to fix it and gain some knowledge along the way.

3) Ask a question on the thread. Someone (not always a team member) will most likely come to your aid. Assuming that your question isn’t ridiculous or downright dumb.


Donate to the rPort Project

Thanks to all our users out there who have provided their patience and support for the rPort project! When you donate remember, every penny you send to us goes right back into the rom. It's used for hardware, server costs, etc - all the things that help us make Carbon better with every release. Your support means the world to us!

Sweet! Downloading as we speak and will be testing it out tomorrow.
Appreciate it :good:

will report back


---------------------Update for V1.0-----------------------------
I actually had quiet a few issues with it.
1) The launcher will force close at times and also if you click the theme option under the home screen edit view.
2) My home button/screen would be unresponsive at times for some odd reason requiring me to
3) besides the launcher there was nothing more xperiaish to it. I would like to see more!

Besides that it did run kind off smooth but the sudden screen locks really made this a hassle.

Appreciate your hard work and different approach. Looking forward to all the fixes in the future thou.

Why don't you read the op again as it clearly says this is not an xperia port. Everything is just themed to look like it.

Thank you Esteway. Also it is only v1.0 This is just my starting point. New features will be added. I do plan to mod the system ui with xperia soft keys and change the opacity to 80%. Also it has many of the xperia widgets. I am going to be adding xperia apps in the next version too. Which I plan on releasing in the upcoming days.

I do embrace constructive criticism very openly. As this is a first version I am more likely to add what my uses suggest as opposed to later on version 3 for example. Also make sure your constructive criticism is actually constructive.

Can't you make a flashable zip for this to use with a rom as an addon package . Just like the touchwiz ui thread in themes and apps section . I think its better to post this in themes and apps section if it only contain ui changes . it's ok to post in development if this is actually a port as i think .

No offence buddy . just shared my opinion here . Good luck with future versions .

Track ID doesn`t work for me. Error 70001 in the app.

Hopefully you could port the Navigationbar-icons and the Live-wallpaper and other Apps too. Don`t get me wrong, but for now it just feel like another rom with changed bootanimation and another launcher. But I`m really looking forward to this rom, cause I like the Sony-overlay and have to wait till my contract ends :)

1. Dialer
2. Contacts
3. Messaging
4. Settings
5. All Basic Icons (Phone, SMS etc)

    Whats Next?
    Hello again guys! v3.1.0 will be coming soon as soon as I work out final bugs. This version is special. Why you may ask? Well it brings the long awaited for Bravia Engine 3 to the ROM. Thats right, you read that correctly. I have ported Bravia Engine 3 to the Galaxy Nexus. Text looks Crisper and Colors look much more real. This will be integrated into the ROM and I may post a seperate package for those of you who only want Bravia Engine 3. I hope you enjoy it!

    Second, I have put a lot of work into this and I feel like its time to announce this. If you really like this ROM and want to do more to help than just dropping a thanks, I am now accepting donations. Anyone who donates to us will be featured on the contributors area of the thread. Anyone who donates more than 5 USD will get that and will receive the experimental builds before thy are released to the thread. I really need the money to get through college. Thanks! You guys have been a great user base and most of you have been very patient. Thanks a bunch guys!

    Third, I will now be posting "Whats Next This Week?" every week as a normal post in the thread. This will not affect the "Whats Next?" in the main thread. Cheers!
    12
    I have a decent amount of extra time on my hands for the next couple of days so I am going to be doing a lot of bug fixing and adding more Sony Apps and features of all sorts. Don't expect it to be v4.0 though. v4.0 is waiting because I have a couple hugely special things in mind for that update. Cheers!
    10
    Just a little update for you guys. I have updated the thread with some new graphics and more along with newer and more various screenshots will be on the way shortly. As for v4.0 I believe I may have isolated the black boot cause and I should be able to fix it. I'm still working closely with my beta testers and Esteway to bring you the best experience possible. I apologize for the delay.
    10
    After pulling an all nighter to finish developing... It is complete. V3 is ready for release. You can expect it today.
