This ROM is equivalent to Stock, so if your GPS works in Stock, it should work in this ROM as well. For me, GPS works well. I guess you need region specific GPS tweaks. Try some of the following. Hope it helps :)

I have a few suggestions few new version, please consider them.

  1. AppWidgetPicker. Makes using widgets much easier. Use V1.2.3, not v2.0: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780828
  2. Updated version of File Manager: http://code.google.com/p/openintents/
  3. 'reboot to recovery' option in reboot menu, if possible.
  4. Toggle 2g/3g option in statusbar toggle
  5. Updated statusbar toggle images. Current ones look upscaled. I can help you with images if you want
Thanks for supporting me again friend ;)

About GPS you are right, and about your suggestions:

1. Really great... Have you tested it, no issues found?
2. Thanks for point me new version, I will update it
3. Done
4. Done
5. Done

v4.1 will be released this week yet, and thanks again...

+1

Stock Mini (4 corner) launcher looks sleek and serves very well for Mini's small screen. Kindly keep it that way, you can still provide Xperia S (dock) launcher as an addon.

The only way I've seen is to make a call, maybe to customer support or any other number, and then increase the volume using volume keys. Volume changes persist between calls. Its the same for all ROMs.

bro kindly tell me about the best apps and games on android which are best for mini

post is off-topic for this thread

Best Games
Though Mini has very small screen, it has a surprisingly powerful processor. Unfortunately some popular games are not available for mini due to screen, but don't think that Mini is underpowered. Check for "Top Free" and "Top Paid" games in Android Market, download them and try.

Top Paid
Top Free

A few games I play are
FPS games like Dead Space, Shadowgun, etc.
Racing games like Real Racing, Raging Thunder, etc.
GBA Emulator for GBA games. This I like most :)


Best Apps
This totally depends on your usage. I personally use notes and todo apps. Go HERE and check categories on left hand side.

Trust me on this, browse Market. It is the best place for apps and games rather than going with other's choices ;)

Wait just for more one or two days...

v4.1 is here...
Please, report me if any issue was found.

Enjoy it !!
Awesome work Serajr! Everything works as expected. I updated 3H_Corner_Sensor Home from your other post and it rocks! I have a few concerns:

- Without any data hungry app (FB, G+) my idle battery drain is 2-3% with HSPA. It seems a little high, but its more dependent on Kernel. I'll try a few more kernels, I'm also trying a few battery tweaks. I'll update you if I find anything useful. Overall, I am satisfied with current battery performance :)
- "Toggle 2G/3G" button does not work. I can still long click on it to go to settings, but I can achieve the same effect by long clicking on "Toggle Data". I guess "Toggle 2G/3G" is supposed to work on single click, but it does not.

These are actually very small issues I could find, no offense ment. Your work is very much appreciated and this ROM will always be my primary ROM :)

    TO DO: SK17a/i Clean 'n' Tweaked version (soon)


    If you like, press thanks... :cool:

    v5 or ICS v1 news!!!

    I will try this ROM. The thread title says it all. I hope this would still get updates.
    I guess I'll stick with this for a very long timeeeee. Thanks!

    serajr: Are you going to eventually release an ICS Clean ’n’ Tweaked ROM for the Mini? Would be so awesome, many people are waiting for this!

    Hear hear! I love this rom and I would love it even more if an ICS version was made :D

    Finally!!! I´m here again!!! I hear all you my friend...

    it's a pity I did not have more time to devote myself to my mods, but I always try to do the best when I'm in front of my pc (weekends only). Therefore, it follows some mods I made "​​from scratch" with original .587 firmware files for this rom exclusively (I´m not gonna post them anywhere else):

    - .587 based firmware
    - Xperia GX Home v4 - by me ;)
    - Preference to choose Stock slider or AOSP slider - by me too
    - Preference to enable Back long press to kill application
    - Tabbed SystemUI layout for Notifications | Quick Panel | Recent Apps - by me again
    - New Walkman music lockscreen style
    - and more...

    And It will be clean as always, with just some system apps, no scripts and for mini, mini pro and lww! See you soon my friends...

    Ps.: All credits will be in the new release thread!!

    Kernels battery runtime

    KERNELS BATTERY RUNTIME

    Sorry it took a little long. I wanted to use each Kernel for some time before reaching any conclusion. All tests were done with:

    • fresh ROM install
    • data turned off, wifi off as well
    • radio turned to 2G/GSM
    • battery use measured over 5 hours in night while phone is not used at all

    Boof Kernel: 3-5% battery use per hour
    Rage Kernel: 2-3% battery use per hour
    X Kernel: 0.4-1% battery use per hour

    Hope someone finds it useful :)

    +1 to ICS clean n Tweaked. I guess we should put GB behind now.
    Ok... ICS C'n'T is being cooked and it will be like GB v4.1, with no scripts, some usefull mods and blootware free. But I need some days to finish it or weeks, just wait.

    Thanks!

    One bug i noticed...mostly it is unable to locate position in google maps..kindly fix this issue in v4.1 coz i mostly need maps during driving...thanx

    This ROM is equivalent to Stock, so if your GPS works in Stock, it should work in this ROM as well. For me, GPS works well. I guess you need region specific GPS tweaks. Try some of the following. Hope it helps :)

    ---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

    As we already talked about, this rom will always be closer to stock rom, with no scripts, just a little tweaks and features. I was working hard on porting Xperia S Home to MDPI, done, now I will return in this project and soon it will be in v4.1, with Xperia S Home and more.

    I have a few suggestions few new version, please consider them.

    1. AppWidgetPicker. Makes using widgets much easier. Use V1.2.3, not v2.0: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780828
    2. Updated version of File Manager: http://code.google.com/p/openintents/
    3. 'reboot to recovery' option in reboot menu, if possible.
    4. Toggle 2g/3g option in statusbar toggle
    5. Updated statusbar toggle images. Current ones look upscaled. I can help you with images if you want
