[ROM][U][ALL BLs] TinyXperiaLite™ v0.5 - Based on Vision™Rom

thunderising · Dec 15, 2012

Introducing, a new ROM based on the amazing acervenky's Vision™Rom,

TinyXperiaLite™

Many people want simple, fast and bloat free ROMs. They only want the bare minimum ROM so that they can freely add and tweak (the ROM or directly, the sources) so as to customize it as they please. I know I do. I want to take a minimum ROM, flash it on my phone and then add AC!D Audio Engine 5.0 and Sony Xperia T Small Apps to it. These are my personal modifications that suit me. And similarly, there will be modifications that will suit others as well. So, presenting TinyXperiaLite. The main purpose of this ROM is to enable you to make what you want for your device. Add apps, features, change boot animation, add ring tones and what not because this ROM weighs in only at 76 MB (for Release v0.1) and can support all your demands.

IMPORTANT

You need to have flashed Stock ICS FTF before you flash this ROM. It's okay if you're using another ROM (as long as that ROM is based on Stock ICS itself).

DO NOT FLASH this ZIP if you are coming from CM/AOSP/AOKP.

MODS to try

Camera Mod 4.7.2 Cyber-shot™ With HDR

Bootanimations Collection

Status Bars

On Screen Button Enabler

Android 4.2 Keyboard & Camera

Battery & RAM Tweaking Guide

Battery Calibration Tutorial

FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:

1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:

BATTERY CALIBRATOR on Play Store - 47 KB size

2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.

3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.

4. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)

5. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.

6. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.

7. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.

Extra Battery Saving Tips:

1. Set a brightness level. Do not use Auto Brightness, it sips more power in turn.
2. Set ROTATION to OFF if you are not using Landscape Mode at all.
3. Use EXTENDED BATTERY Mode if you actively use WiFi/Mobile Data.

RAM Cleaning

- Do not use task killers

- Freeze/Move to Quarantine those APPS which you DO NOT USE regularly and you don't want them TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND

APP QUARANTINE on Play Store

Go ahead, try it. Move all unwanted apps to quarantine now!

DEEP SLEEP STATE battery saving

Your phone sips the least amount of power when it is in DEEP SLEEP STATE. There is a new app in the marketplace which can FORCE DEEP SLEEP STATE on your phone. This is especially useful if you want the phone to conserve battery for hours and then wake up for a minute and sync all new alerts in one go. This can help prolong your usage on a single charge.

DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER on Play Store

This app is under development and can be found on XDA developers forums itself. Here's the link to the thread:

[APP] [2.1+] Deep Sleep Battery Saver

How Deep sleep Battery Saver works

Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off. During deepsleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc, which is defined by deepsleep frequency and woke up duration

By constantly put device into deepsleep mode, we will save battery life due to no Internet connection, and therefore most of network-based apps, such as Facebook, Gmail will not work.

Caution: during deepsleep mode on, this app may disrupt your normal activities, such as your email notification comes with larger delay.
In advanced mode, you can customize more parameters, including day/night settings, active period, screen timeout, sync strategy, ignored apps, etc,.

WALLPAPERS

Here is a 70 pack wallpapers uploaded by me. Remember, you can share your wallpapers too!

How many bugs has?

lalitindoria · Dec 15, 2012

What else has been modified? What about the UI?

thunderising · Dec 15, 2012

It's Trebuchet Launcher.

And the only bug that may be there is ext_sd mounting when connected in Mass Storage Mode.

How do I add governers for the ROM? If I find out, I most definitely will.

Also, THANK YOU FOR THE SCREENS.

And finally, do you think I should stick to the launcher or move to XperiaLauncher?

Best rom for our Xperia U. Period. I actually have a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it. I want to upgrade to ICS but B.10 is slow, .54 has many bugs and C.10 is branded. So I guess I'll have a go on this rom
No offense but r u sure that this rom has everything working despite its small size... And what is the difference between this and infinity rom besides the size. I mean if something is reduced in size then something has to be less. No offense. Thank you

Root FW, install CWM and flash this ZIP. Make backup before that.

n2droid · Dec 16, 2012

does it come with a default keyboard? and if yes, which one?
- I enjoy xperia kb's sliding function in both english and greek a bit too much to give up.

[edit, since we're already talking about this rom, my staple lockscreen request!]
is it possible to change the camera shortcut to mute (like it was in stock GB ?) - much more useful imo - considering the camera is sub-par anyway.
