Thanks,

[demonhunter1991]

WOW

Unbelievable! I have waited this for a long time! Thanks so much! You make me like my sony arc so much! Thanks again!

 

[kevinaz94]

Flashed it on SlimBean 4, Immediately after a very fast bootlogo it enters recovery, and even if i reboot or remove battery i cant access rom because im always redirected to recovery Any suggestion?

 

[n1kolaa]

[danielxg]

thx ..

ROM: Stock CM10.0

Flashed this kernel. Cleared caches. ROM booted. Wifi seems to be more stable compared to 3.08v3 (less drops for me).

Boot Logo starts well....but then gets all crazy like in 3.08. Noticed that CWM seems to work better (In 3.08, there was a long pause between when selecting to CLEAR DALVIK CACHE and the confirmation screen. 3.4 is instant as it is suppose to be).

OFFLINE CHARGING: Same as 3.08. Always shows battery low icon with red LED no matter how fully charged the battery really is.

Will keep testing...


EDIT:
Processor frequency does not step well. Mine stays at 1017Mhz pretty much all the time (using default ONDEMAND)..even when idle. Seems like the governors are not working well. Interactive is missing.

 

[Devoct]

quick feedback from me:

Device: LT15i
ROM: FXP218 CM10
Wiped only Cache and Dalvik Cache (not a fresh install).

Buggy/Not working:

• Ondemand governor is buggy, jumping around min and max frequency, stay on max frequency most of the time(just like on 3.0.8 on version 1.
• Stutters on animation sometimes, maybe caused by buggy governor?
• All bugs from 3.0.8 exist, correct me if i'm wrong.

Deep sleep is working too.
i think it's pretty much the same just like 3.0.8, except only the stutters when going through UI.
can't tell the performance with current governor and i/o sched.

Why? Do they make hdmi working?

Why? Do they make hdmi working?

its full add source but rom not suport hdmi

Any suggestion about the fact that phone boots immediately into recovery?? Bootlogo stays for 2 seconds, then recovery appears, no way to access rom!!

 

[ahmadzxc]

thanks for the great job :good::good::good:

after phone vibrate start presssing volume down

 

[kevinaz94]

after phone vibrate start presssing volume down

Same result, even because there is no many time to do it... It enters recovery almost immediately
Thats weird, it should be the opposite xD i should do something to enter recovery, not rom!!

You seem to have an unsupported ROM installed. Only 4.1 and 4.2 roms will boot.

 

[kevinaz94]

I have SlimBean 4 which is 4.1.2... I try to explain better
I turn on the phone, and boot logo appears immediately. The blue circle cant even reach the half of his turn that phone has already vibrated and booted in rom... even rebooting, removing battery, wiping caches and permissions doesnt work

Reflash gapps and try again
