I know this is a long shot and completely seperate projects, but is there any chance of using the KA13 Ice Cream Sony ROM's camcorder? It is working in that ROM.

wonderful rom, seems very smooth and good to use.a couple of niggles am having

- not able to receive through Bluetooth.
though the phone is recognized on the other device, gives error before sending every time.

- having random freezes now and then. the volume controls and screen on/off work but nothing else.
only option is a battery pull.

Ive currently got the ics++ rom installed and got the doomkernel on to install would I still wipe data/cache and factory reset or just go straight to flashing.

also any further advancments in games working compared to the list cos thats in v1.1 so how about v1.3.
1 last question(this may be nooby) what does rc mean e.g. rc1.1 or rc1.3?

Here's a completely useless video of me doing everything I possibly can to attempt to lag this ROM. (It was only about half as laggy as this video, the app I used wasn't that good). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmgdyZQl4fM&feature=youtu.be

But basically, recording app + music + 2 emulators at the same time made one emulator chug for a bit and run at 45 fps, oh teh noes. All in all, this is now my daily driver :D Changing my signature now. Only bad thing is :( plants vs zombies doesn't run on ICS!

So what is peoples experiences with games on AOKP? Besides the obvious EA and Gameloft ones. How do emulators run? Faster or slower than GB? The same? I mainly just use FPSE, SNES9x EX, and Gensoid.

in my opinion they go better, also because now they support the touchpad; the only games that have problems are the games of gameloft, ea and rockstar (probably because they don't do a good optimizzation of the code for the play)

Just a question, I'm using Keiran's ICS Kernel and this ROM. My battery drain seems to be quite a problem after going off from Sony's Stock Kernel and GB ROM. Any recommendations on how to prevent this much battery drain? My phone batt decreases by 10% in 10 minutes, if not, much faster than that.. :( I've set this on smartassV2 governers and decreased the Brightness as well as turning off the GPS as I don't have the use for that. My phone batt decreases drastically despite turning on my WiFi/Data..

That battery drain is insane. 10% in 10 minutes? AokPlay has given me really decent battery life, about 30% drain in a day. Check what's using all that battery in settings>battery. Also it might just be your phone is giving the incorrect battery level. Maybe worth wiping the battery stats.

    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 :)

    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 :)
