[ROM]Buttermilk ROM for Xperia Pro v1(MK16i)

---

Some time ago i see Ultima ROM thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1600165 in Arc section forum and i was very happy that somebody make sometihng new for Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro. But there were some small things, which i want to make by my own opinion, so i start to make my own mod of Ultime ROM. Because Riyad (which originally build Ultima ROM) give me permission to publish it here on XDA, i now make it. I am not developer, so all credits go to Riyad, i just make some changes in ROM. Some people just test it and it is fast, cleand and battery saving ROM. There is also many addons, which you can install (they are in second post with videoreview). I recommended clean installation (with full wipe, so backup your files first)

What are the changes between Ultima ROM and this Buttermilk ROM?
- many things deleted, ROM is now much smaller
- new default themes (i dont search author of this mod, if anybody know, write me pm)
- new battery indicator and lockscreen
- new version of launcher (and some more version in addons, i recommended Zeam launcher, it is more customizable)
- fast unlock mod (just press home button and than menu button), see addons to flash it
- new music Player (stock is possible to flash, if you dont want this)
- black Sony keyboard
- and much more thing, better to try than write it here

Installation
1. download ROM
2. unpack rar file
3. zip file put to your SD card
4. flash kernel (you hawe to unlocked bootloader)
5. start recovery, make full wipe (recommended) and install ROM
6. install addons from second post if you want
7. dona, enjoy new ROM

Credit and Thanks to Riyal for his nice Ultima ROM, vr5411 for launcher mod, boof which help me a lot with everything what i want adn many others, which mods are included in this ROM. One more thanks to boof, which spend lot of time be helping me and one big thanks to XPERIA.cz users which test many version of this ROM before i present it.

Thanks for posting your work
I guess its gonna be a good time for all xperia pro users with all these roms available for trying out.
One thing which I wanted to know is that is your mod based on riyal's Ultima Rom v1.1?

Nice work bro. Keep it up.
Really very happy to see the developments for Pro...
Hope we'll get a separate sub forum for our Xperia Pro's (MK16)...

legit work man...

AFAIK it's based on 1.0-1 and improved in its own way. And some improvements are the same like in riyal's 1.1. ATM looks like ultima 1.1 has some problems with market, it's better to wait till the problems will be fixed (wishing riyal best luck with fix!!) Have no fear - Buttermilk has everything important and I suppose that any vital upgrades applicable to Xperia Pro will be in both ROMs.

how do you make the keyboard black?

The one thing that interests me in Ultima 1.1 are the battery life improvements. Any chance of getting them incorporated over here?

Users which test this ROM said that there is very good battery life and also in my phone it is good. I will see what next to change, but i thing that now it is good.
