Almost certainly I have found main issue that affects this ROM. Gralloc doesn't work as it should. I'm not such a skilled programmer and so I'm not able to solve this problem. If anyone knows how to fix, PM me or post in the topic.

Video playback totally fixed! Attenction: only low resolution, not HD. But before releasing a new build, I want to test it better and also fix battery drain.

Yes me to. I need just battery and theme compatibility. In B31 We can flash all the aokp themes but phone stops working.

Hi, tanks for this work.

Plz, I want to test this, but just some questions:

Gameloft games is works there? because it isn't in ICS beta, K12 ....

And, can You whrite the changelog compared with the ICS Beta from sony? I think many people not familiar with this rom, and this is good to know the benefits of this incredible hard work... tanks..

oO If You can fix the theme compatibility, I'll thank you for the rest of my life :D

Theme compatibility isn't so bad. I deleted phone apk from theme files. Then I flashed theme everything worked

I have not tried, but I think Gameloft games don't work. Only incompatibility with themes is Phone.apk so you have to delete it from theme.apk

Sony Beta is more stable and has more features, like better touchpad implementation, video recording and panorama.

Supervenom this rom is fantastic! ( so far :D, I am still setting up )
I find cm9 based roms waaaaay more responsive than the sony-beta ones.

granted the sony-one have waaay better battery life but I have mugen batterypack :)

Hope you keep updating this rom, I use AOKP on my gtab too.

I agree, AOKP and CM9 are more smooth, but beta is better for games :

Rom updated! I've used it yesterday for the whole day and I've found no problems. Battery lasted for 16 hours.

P.S. I hadn't installed Gapps, maybe ROM's problems are related with them.

    And you all should consider clicking thanks to the dev, he did all this with little support, for a rom that we are lucky to have :)

    Sent from my Dark R800i using Tapatalk 2

    Hardly anybody clicks thanks anymore, my ROM has been downloaded over 9,000 times but nowhere near that number bothers to click the little button.. can't imagine how many have downloaded Darkforest ICS!
    A bit of a depressing tale for devs but hey we live with it don't we?

    Anyway, fantastic work supervenom!

    It's a great ROM and is coming along very, very nicely :)

    Enjoy, watch videos and have deep sleep

    O word sorry read somewhere that ext3 was the way to go because of performance. O well I will switch that up. Wanna save this class 10 32gb sd. Thanks Dan

    Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

    This is true, ext3 performs better than ext2 - but only because of journaling. In the case of flash-based storage like the microSD, it's actually bad.

    "ext2 is still the filesystem of choice for flash-based storage media (such as SD cards, and USB flash drives), since its lack of a journal minimizes the number of writes, and flash devices have a limited number of write cycles."

    The main reason journaling provides performance benefits is because it reduces the need to seek and can help make up for filesystem fragmentation, but both these factors are not a problem for flash storage because there is a near-zero seek time.

    ext4 is the same case. It will have better performance but not so for flash-based storage. There are more features that ext3 and 4 have over 2, but they are all practically useless for Android (and embedded Linux) and will result in slightly higher memory and CPU overhead. On our device with only 512MB of RAM, keeping memory usage down is essential!

    BTW, even if you have an ext3/4 filesystem, you should be able to chose "ext2" in Link2SD and it will mount it in ext2 backwards-compatibility mode. This is OK and has the same effect, there's no real need to reformat it as ext2 (unless it still doesn't work of course).

    From what I know, ext3 and 4 should have journaling disabled in the kernel level (otherwise your microSD will not last). However, ext3/4 tend to be corrupted easier when journaling is turned off because it depends on it's journaling feature for recovery.

    I used to use ext3 myself, but I would occassionally get FC's from e.g. games that were linked to the card. I discovered that the filesystem kept getting corrupted. Since I switched to ext2 (a long time ago), I noticed better performance (maybe because of the errors, maybe because of less overhead) and never had any filesystem problems since.

    In summary - ext3/4 might provide a negligible performance boost over ext2, but probably not because it's performance benefit is designed to make up for mechanical harddisk with seeking delays - not a problem for flash storage. And only when journaling is enabled. And journaling will trash the microsd very quickly.

    Also, write speed on ext2 filesystems is always faster than ext3 and 4 (sequential write - but again, since Flash storage has a near-zero seek time, random-write is nearly the same speed).

    Thank you for reading :)
