[Defy/Defy+]Unofficial Xperia D [KitKat]

[Zeroemd]

Description

Xperia D is a KitKat-based ROM that seeks to provide an experience similar to the one present in Xperia phones to Motorola Defy Users,giving the best possible performance at the same time.

Clarification

Please clarify on the OP or the title that this is an unofficial version not related to my original work, i plan to continue it but people will get really confused now that there is 2 threads with the same title. Zeroemd got my permission to make his own interpretation of Xperia D but we are not working togheter as for now. Nice work btw, im still fixing a broken Defy that i bought recently (microUSB port destroyed) so i cant test it but looks really good.

Well guys a poll is up regarding if the base rom should be changed. It was bound to happen since AOSB hasn't been updated since January 25 and the amount of manual fixes I can apply is limited (remember I don't build the ROMs myself), still I have applied the latest Bluetooth fixes, kernel and overclock into the rom manually. But the thing is obvious if we change base rom latest features would come fairly quickly. Keep in mind that you can choose more than one option when voting.

The other thing is that it would be nice to have a JB version of the rom, that would not have the bugs Kitkat has, simply because some users like to choose functionality over latest features.

Also this is now a Devdb project so it would be nice if we use it accordingly, bugs in the bug report tab,review in the reviews tab, etc. Of course this is optional, I have no plans on imposing silly rules in the thread either.

Request!!!

Yes, it is based in AOSB 1.2.5.

@Zeroemd: This is my humble request to you, please bring next build of Xperia D with SlimKat base. Because @TJKV is doing awesome work with SlimKat and updating it very frequently. So we will able to taste the Xperia flavour with very recent changes in Rom. And lots of users are using Slimkat after CM11, so all of them will take interest in this Rom also.
Thanks for you great support and effort.

Yeah, just flash the incremental update and you are set! Unless you have reasons to wipe your phone and install the whole ROM.

I did not change anything related to the wifi, just Bluetooth. Also this are the first reports of this happening.

Did you guys flahs the incremental update? If so please reflash and report back please.

I have been thinking about it too, i will reconsider after the next Stable Release. I will make a poll to see what the users want. I personally would like to make an JB build, that would not have any of the bugs we are facing in kk. Anyway I will let the people decide.

and guys please try to use the bug report tab, it would be nice. But if you guys want to report bugs in the thread it is ok also.

 

[rahul9871]

No I didn't flashed incremental update.

Quick battery drain

Both official and unofficial ROMs have a (very) quick battery drain
With CM11 my battery lasts 2-4 times but it has less features and now comes without the bootmenu, so I'm using this ROM anyway...
Maybe base should be changed to CM11 plus the bootmenu.

 

[deysmacro]

I see. Well, maybe the phone can't go into deep sleep I guess.

You can disable lockscreen notifications and active display or change OC settings and see if that helps. As for the change of base, lets see the results of the poll first.

 

[ebol94]

Is anyone else facing BT problems? I can't even turn it on.

 

[Zeroemd]

Is anyone else facing BT problems? I can't even turn it on.

Its a problem, from the ROMs BT files. It will be solved in next version. (which will be done after the poll ends)

 

[Zeroemd]

Base change!

The poll is now closed people!

The new base for the ROM will be CM11 for a while then, expect a new build soon.
