So I just started using this rom because I wanted stock android experience and the rom runs smoothly without any problems. However the battery drain is crazy, I've never seen such a thing on the Play. After a morning only using Wi-fi to go on facebook I have 15% left :s It there a fix or is it only me?

It's not only you. I thought you were joking, but here I am with my own typical usage results.

The straight line is about 3 hours of idling with 3G off. The rest consists of WhatsApp, Gameboid and occasional browsing. My battery actually dropped 40% in less than an hour! Now that's crazy..

I'm on LuPuS v8 for CM9, Intellidemand2.

Hi guys can anyone suggest me how to set up the display in an efficient way? I noticed that there are settings in more than normal and more in the battery menu I marked that the display consumes 73% of battery._. I keep the brightness at minimum

you cannot use a stock kernel in roms aosp based (or you'll certanily have something broken). use the kernel provided by Supervenom, just inside the rom's zip, named boot.img

Well you are using r800x, right? If the answer is yes then I'm unable to help you further, and I think that I'm correct. Post a thread in Q&A.

If I am using test point method I can unlock my boot loader:)

Is that a question or a statement?

If you can't get into Fastboot mode at all (hold SEARCH key with USB insert = Blue LED) then you need to unlock bootloader. Via testpoint method works for any Xperia 2011 device but you need to pay someone to do it online for you and guide you through the method to link your phone to their unlock software.

EDIT: It seems that all Verizon R800x can be unlocked officially for free as of November last year. See this article.

Anyway, back on topic.

I lold, there is no topic. The rom is dead like Abraham Lincoln so there is nothing to talk about as supervenom is trying to get 4.2 to work (but IMO he's abandoned it just like aokp for JB...

Your better off trying another ics rom or switch to jellybean version of aokp. As ics repo for kangprojectxperia (group of people who build aokp for xperia devices) haven't updated the ics trees in a while so it's unlikely there's going to be a new build that fixes bluetooth.

    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 :)

    New kernel for CM9/AOKP.

    Based on new Sony sources.

    Deep sleep is fixed, and so is video decoding :)

    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 :)
