FAQ :

Q : Why did you remove XYZ app ?
A : Because I can. Also because play store works.

Q: Even Gallery,email,browser ?
A: Download Quickpic , K-9 , Opera from Play store

Q: Stock Launcher ?
A: It's 900 kb

Q:Stock Music ?
A : It's 700kb

Q: Why not Walkman/Xperia apps / blah blah.
A: All MDPI devices are different . I think XMP will be 10-12 MB heavier than active. In that case I will have to shift XMP to Doppler 200 layout. If Walkman can be adjusted in 10-12 MB then I can think about it.

Q: Why stuck up on Doppler 200+ layouts ?
A : Cos 650+ usable data for apps is awesome !!

Q : Why not Xperia Z/Z1/Z2/Z3/DBZ/DBGT UI ?
A: Rest of all ICS ROM have them.

Q: Blah ?
A : Blah !

woghhh xperia active....i will test and use this rom..can you include dolby mod..?

i will give you some report for my next post

 

[Bitterballen]

Yeay, I've just successfully flashed this ROM on my coconut, there still no problem so far.

 

[EternalDarkness]

problem with coconut

awesome layout for apps!! but the notification led only works with screen on.. any solution??

PS: sorry for my english :angel:

You can install it yourself and see if it fits

awesome layout for apps!! but the notification led only works with screen on.. any solution??

PS: sorry for my english :angel:

Thats the problem. Most ROMs are based on LWW ,so the dev files of LWW is incomplete .
The notification LED works fine on Active
I will see what can be done .

 

[JimNta]

until now,this rom its very nice for performace,fast and smooth..work fine with more app from google play..

but at my satsuma,if i go to setting and set some setting for ex i set my keyboard and when i push back button to go setting main menu, setting going to FC..

at first time use after flash need reboot for turn on wifi,

and keep update this rom,i like ICS ROM

 

[karandpr]

Yep ,WiFi works only after reboot. Thats problem for Modules present in ramdisk.

I had no problem with settings menu on my Active.
Probably ,you should clear dalvik cache and try again ?

The ROM+Kernel combo is very effective . I don't have to adjust ROM for kernels or kernel for ROM .
One of the reasons I am starting from Stock Dump ROM

 

[Ayush Singh]

What?????????

@Saqib Nazm , @stanlin salu n others

After progressing so much for 2011 Series, now again back to basics -_-

Great "PROGRESS"!! :silly:

And hey can we expect Lollipop for MDPI?

yeahh now become perfect after clear dalvik, and get some tweak at build.prop and init.d

i just hope get some mod if you have time but thanks,im very happy with your rom and kernel

Since you asked for it ,here it goes .

A)No one is maintaining any of other ICS ROMs. Simple. The most popular post in almost all other ROMs is "when will there be next update " and usually the developer doesn't even bother to reply.
B)Most of the ICS ROMs are direct HDPI ports ,instead of feature ports to MDPI. This causes issues with play store , framework layout and many other little UI bugs .
C) Regressive Progress . The newer frameworks and themeing frameworks are heavy . They cause un necessary "future" lag which was non existent on stock ROMs. The rate at which the lag gets accumulated on a device is more on framework heavy ROMs .
D)Lack of bugless Slim ROMs : All slim ROMs have bugs. Simple. Thats the reason I had to start from scratch. HDPI ports never work as good as ROMs created from pure MDPI base.
It's easier to create ROMs from scratch than from a buggy base.

E)5 App Limit: This is the why I hate the heavy ROMs . After signing in to Google Play and installing and updating all the apps ,all I am left with is barely 150-175 MB of usable /data. The lower limit for /data is 50MB so I can use only 100-125 MB for apps which is a ****ing joke for usable space . Even if I use a second sd card partition ,the problem retains . The device has just tooo many apps from start with. It creates a lag like previously mentioned.
In stark contrast ,Radium gives 600MB of usable space off bat.. Thats 5-6 times usable data space .

This ROM is faster than all other "progressed" ROMs .Deal with it .

As far as lollipop is concerned ,you are in the wrong thread mate . LXP/Carbon/AOKP thread is that way ---->>>>

 

[Ayush Singh]

Ok sir

 

[karandpr]

Build for mango is up.
It has Doppler 200 layout instead of 220.
Due to stock keyboard ,I think the ROM is bit heavier than the 180 MB.

 

[sniper venom]

man im waiting for smultron

 

[karandpr]

man im waiting for smultron

I need build.prop of stock 0.587 of smultron for that.

 

[mehrdadb3]

please tell me about battery life on this rom
i use stock rom ics 587 and it use 3-4 % battery per hour with no work with phone and every thing is off
