Love it red, love it all over!
Just installed 2.0 for Mango.
And it has been an uneblievably positive experience!
It is by far the fastest and smoothest ROM I have been able to get working as described...!
It is now full of all my regular apps (+ even more thanks to kernel [used doppler before, but it was always laggy as h*** with whatever ROM I used]), which includes a lot of heavier ones, and there is virtually no difference in usability from the fresh installation.
The only thing that seems to be anything to me is a considerably higher battery drain than any other ROM I have tried. But, I selected conservative governor and that definitely slowed the drain noticably, without becoming laggy at all. But maybe there is something I have done wrong from the start - I have always had battery drain issues with ALL custom ROMs I've tried (and that's a lot of 'em [except fro any GB-ROM, which always gives me days and days of battery, but won't work with a lot of my favourite apps]).
I guess also I can't utilize as much of the home screen as I would like, as the four-corners launcher won't fit my clock and widgetsoid switch-widget without removing two corners. Considering switching to top corners home, but then I fear a lot of the speed would be lost.
However, just to be clear: I love it! And I love it red! Great choice! I only wish the buttons wouldn't be ICS blue when you push them... That kindof clashes. Also, there are menus for wallpaper and themes which either leads to FC or black screen. And there seems to be no way to change lockscreen wallpaper, but these are minor details when taking into account how truly amazing everything else about this ROM is.
Either way AWESOME work! This is the first time I feel like the term "breath new life into" has been truly appropriate. Keep it up!
In fact, please never stop :laugh:

Roll out will begin next week.
Asking for any bugs and feature requests.
I would probably do away with AnySoftKeyboard & Stock Launcher.
Nova will replace as third party launcher.
Multiling in system & Google Keyboard outside system.
Browser apps outside system.
I will wait till wednesday for opinions. Then I will start working on ROM. ROMs will be available by August end.

I request walkman player in lww version
OOT, do you or anyone still using mdpi 2011 as main device?
I still love it, but i hate the poor battery life if data connection on.
OK... Here goes
1. Loudspeaker volume needs to come down, it is almost bursting at below highest setting.
2. If there is anyway to get alarms to ring when phone is turned off, this would be awesome!
3. Perhaps a version of "top corners home" (prefer it to four corners or nova or holo or anything).
4. Superuser instead of superSU (looks better and gives better overview of current and historical operations)
5. Can't call selected contacts in the dialer (unless holding and choosing "edit number before call").
6. Incorporate themes and/or wallpaper (perhaps separate for lockscreen) or remove their selections in settings.
7. CPU control integrated into settings menu.
8. ICS Blue color for menu/button selections should change. Why not more red? :fingers-crossed:
Now I know this is very unorganized, and perhaps some of them will make the ROM loose its fast and smooth nature. If so, then I guess I could live without them
Thanks again for an awesome job!

Karan new kernel needed for Radium 3, course Radium2 kernel not working with Radium3 rom on Satsuma
I googled very much but don't get help and now I find this thread has active members so I request to help for my Xperia Mini St15i rooted unlocked bootloader. Running on CM 11.0 very well
but I recent update to latest build 24072015 and I can't boot my phone; after I tried to restore my old backup,tried to install old Rom which is( I installed in past successful)l and tried flash Xperia mini stock rom ftf (various version) but phone doesn't start .
I can install all of them successfully,wipe data/cache/system and reflash roms but phone does not start. always displays error of "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped and phone restart on boot logo again and again.
update......
I recently flash BeanStalk-4.4006-20131128-smultron and after many tries I success to start phone but I noticed that in apps only 50 MB memory is free. I didn't have installed any app. in past I have there is about 370 MB free.(xperia mini has 420 mb data partition)
I have try to erase system,data with fastboot but nothing happens
I attached text file of fastboot commands.
I tried to flash sony origional firmware too but it only restarts again and again .
I have tried to erase system and userdata with fastboot but i see that it encountered bad block in erase data, I can't understand why data partition can't be formated ? text document attached
I think my data partition is full. after reboot in recovery there is an error of " no space left in device " phone does not start normally. I can boot in recovery but still can not use phone .
If anyone knew to format data partition please help me. my phone is dead from 40 days.

Lol
There are roughly 1600-1700 blocks in userdata...if 1400 are corrupted then it means 360 mb is useless..... Your /data has only 60 mb usable.... That won't even accommodate dalvik ...
Try CM 12 since it uses external userdata...
Also how many times did you flash ROM [emoji33] .... Never seen anyone with this ridiculous number of bad blocks....
If I might add , your internal storage is almost dead....all your device depends on the boot partition..
When it gets bad blocks , your device is dead.
replace for bad blocks
Can I replace bad blocks with new emmc or whole pcb of xperia mini ?
For starters, we dont have emmc, we use raw nand over mtd.
technically aside, you need special tools to replace and prepare the nand. Not to mention adequate knowledge.
Replacing full board is one solution.
Temporarily, you can take a look at my dual boot kernels and keep running device off SD card/ secondary rom
radium 2, hd video recording is too laggy, and result is laggy too, and too noisy for audio/video recording.
any workaround?
any workaround?
hmm....
Edit build.prop
Increase dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit to 48m or 56m
Increase dalvik.heapsize to 128m
Enable swap if you have third partition.
sorry for that
But I can't understand your last line(Temporarily, you can take a look at my dual boot kernels and keep running device off SD card/ secondary rom).please can you tell me in detail
thanks for answer

Well I'll save you some time, just follow this tutorial and you'll be running your rom from your sd in no time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58057336&postcount=129
What he ^^ said. You can boot ROMs off SD card.
No one has able to boot it except me
. Or thats what I think. Maybe I should make separate recoveries for primary & secondary ROMs.
Xperia Mini Boot Problem
Finally My phone is boot with CM 12.1 Rom, Partitioned 2 GB Ext4 of 16 GB sd card and it runs normally. thanks again for advise

@karan
Hi and thanks a lot for all.
I'd like to try your Radium ICS rom. I've downloaded Radium 3 and the kernel needed, what is the differences between Radium 1 and the third version ?

Radium 3 has some bugs fixed....
Though Wait for 10 odd days for Radium 4. Planning a full revamp in coming days :angel:. (This time 10 days == 10 days ,not 10 months :victory: )
