NeoWave + Cricket Wireless (at&t)
Hi all,
I experience a very annoying bug on my lt25i with NeoWave since I switched to Cricket Wireless in USA cricketwireless.com which is a MVNO over at&t network. I have never experienced it before switching.
Status bar of the phone shows as it has network, if the data is ON, it shows it has data connection. Nevertheless, I cannot make calls, receive calls, send SMS. I even cannot put the phone into the Airplane mode because it never finishes the process.
Only reboot helps.
I tried to clear cache. I cannot find whether there are other radio module firmwares available to try them. I also don't remember whether I flashed kernels or not -- should I try Omni/CM11 kernels mentioned in the first post?
I will greatly appreciate your help.

Dude, let's see how far we've gone
Hello again!
Not so long ago, our russian community has tried to develop a new FW, based on latest stock fw, taking best of Lovins, Toxizen and even some of chinese custom fws!!! Fairly, it's a decent one. Sleek, very Sony Stylish, with all Sony apps (trackID, walkman, album), with Bravia and X-Reality...
But It has got all "childhood" bugs of JB4.3 like stupid MediaServer which gets stuck on 13gb of flac music at my microsd!
so I probably will fall back on your omnirom cuz it's more homelike...
You know, the bad thing about XV is it's weak battery... I tried your CM12 and early 12.1 and found them not so good at battery consumption.
how long does your CM live at this time? i mean whats the more-or-less-average max screen on, max video play, max music listening?
is it ready for everyday use?
as I saw some ports of Sony Style for Lollipop... it would be nice to go further and get on Lollipop instead of wimpy jelly bean!

Battery life might be better, but I still get around 4 hours of screen on time on CM12.1 with my two years old battery. No idea about music listening, as I use V4A (which increases battery consumption during audio playback) and never listen to music too long.Hello again!

How/can I use custom themes? For example this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.carlosavignano.objects.orange&hl=en
This ROM doesn't support any other themes than the accent color packages in OP. Reason is that it's based on OmniRom, which doesn't include themes by default. In addition, the heavily modified framework would probably make most themes look awkward anyway
HELP
put this firmware myself was surprised how many settings. Half day only customizable interface, and how it came to install applications that proved that you can not put google + not playmarket, and everything is working properly. I'm new, something can not understand me someone briefly explain. (Thanks)

I can see that he's probably Russian and use GTranslate, so...
Можешь объяснить проблему свою по-русски?
Tr: Could you explain your problem in Russian?

да, иди в рекавери и установи ту тему, которую хочешь. надоест - прошьёшь другой zip с другой темой.
yes just go into recovery and install whatever theme you want. when it starts sucking your sight - just flash another ZIP theme.

As far as I remember, the toggles can be edited by long-tapping them. Not sure though.
It's the same as in any OmniRom 4.4 ROM, so you might as well google it.

As long as I remember, there was a button at up right of toggles. Pressing that allowed us customize toggles. After pressing that, With touch and hold we could move toggles and tapping on them enabled/disabled them
Needs quite a lot of effort to port, while being easy to replace with apps like Greenify

Another question - what governor you suggest to use for best battery/performance
I`m currently facing a problem with xposed it won`t install - Could not extract Xposed-disabler-recovery.zip Maybe someone could send me flashable zip with it?

69Welcome to NeoWave™ rom!
Introduction:
I have always liked the unique Sony UI - but it comes with a big downgrade in terms of performance, at least when using stock roms. So I switched to AOSP.
Faster? Yes. More stable? Yes. But the Holo interface could never impress me. That's why I decided to combine two different worlds - beauty and performance.
Here is the result of more than a hundred hours of compiler flag experiments, intense theming and bugfixing.
ROM Features:
- Based on stable Omnirom 4.4.4 sources
- Compiled with Linaro toolchain and O3 flags (highest possible optimization level on Android - you WILL notice a difference!)
- Odexed and debloated user build
- Smooth, resource-saving and fast thanks to only 60mb system app size compared to 130mb on pure OmniRom
- Awesome sound thanks to Viper4Android (check out this website to get to know V4A)
- Themed to look and feel like the latest Sony firmware, including a complete Z3 framework
- Switchable accent colors and lots of add-ons for a unique experience! Your phone - your rom - your style!
- Original Z3 Home and Clock Widgets, Xperia Keyboard and full-featured Walkman
- Still fully ART-compatible!
Kernel Features:
- Based on latest CyanogenMod 11 kernel source
- Compiled with Linaro 4.7 and O3 flags for maximum performance
- Finally Overclocking on KitKat - up to 1.62GHz!
- Default CPU voltage decreased for maximum battery life and less heating
- User-customnizable VDD Voltage driver (thanks to faux123)
- MSM MPDecision - an intelligent hotplug driver from Bricked Kernel for N5 (thanks to show-p1984)
- Bricked Thermal driver (thanks to show-p1984)
- Replaced CWM in CM11 kernel with TWRP (big thanks to Alx31TLse)
Only use the stuff above if you know what you're doing!
I recommend checking out Knutselmaaster's thread to get started with kernel tweaking.
In agreement with the GPL, you can find the sources and defconfig used to compile this kernel right here.
Known Bugs:
Any bug reports are greatly appreciated as I am aiming for a most stable user experience.
However, make sure to include a log or screenshot, as even a very detailed description cannot include all information I need to track the issues down.
- All known and unknown Omni bugs. (Zero battery bootloop fixed - Bluetooth pairing can be fixed by flashing this.)
- Exchange doesn't work. If you need it anyway, install this app: Link
- CertInstaller force closes. For a fix, install this app before importing your certificates: Link
- Z2 style Clock widget doesn't show AM/PM. (Tempoary fix: Select 24 hours time format in settings.)
Installation:
Following the steps below, you accept that I cannot be held responsible for any damage to your device while installing or using this rom.
- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked - if not, follow this guide: Link
- Enter recovery
- Do a factory reset and wipe system partition
- Flash latest neo-4.4.4-tsubasa.zip
- Flash latest neo-patch.zip (if any available)
- Flash "GApps Minimal 4.4.4" and "AOSP Calendar Sync 4.4.4 Addon" packages from here and here
- Flash latest SuperSU from here: Link
- Reboot
Updating:
Updating NeoWave to the latest version is as simple as:
- Flashing the latest rom or patch zip from Downloads section

Let me know, and I'll add it to this post, along with some thanks for your donation.
Thanks in advance for supporting my hard work on this rom! :victory:16Version 1.2.2 is out.
I released a complete new rom zip because I won't be able to do much development work in the upcoming months.
This is due to my real life eating lots of time now that I have to study again.
Expect the next big update somewhen around christmas.
(Unless - of course - a big issue appears out of nowhere.)
Finally all device dependant bugs, including bluetooth pairing, are fixed.
I disabled cpu hotplug by default to work around the music issues some people were experiencing.
Also, I tried to fix most of the annoying bugs, like Torch turning off, for example. :good:
See OP for a more detailed changelog and a link to download the new version.
Thanks to all 200 users for always supporting my work and helping where they can to improve this project!
