You can use XBlast Tool to modify the status bar color (of course, you should install Xposed Installer first).
Thanks, will try that.

EDIT: no luck with xposed installer

Probably Green or Orange by the end of this week. After 2 years ,I am sick of seeing the Blue AND White UI.
I understand your feelings, but red ain't my colour!
Thks ;)

Considering the number of people advising me against the use of red ,I guess red ain't the color of lot of people. Then again I have some sort of weird design sense....I mean look at the doppler 2 boot logo ...That thing is straight out of a horror movie...

A Little Review

600 MB Internal ! - The best !! VEry Sweet and different from usual Sandwiches ;)
1) The Rom is smooth, but there's brief pauses when opening settings app or any app. Note: Brief ;)
2) Theming --> Definitely need some themes along, which would be awesome, especially framework ;)
3) Performance --> Good and nice ;)
4) Battery percent enabler --> Default Option would be nifty, instead of using a dedicated app for it ;)
5) The icons --> They're really sweet, I luv em ;))
6) File Explorer --> A default file explorer would do some good ;) Else we've to flash one :}
7) Xposed --> Works Fine ;)
8) Battery --> Great obviously ;) its ICS
Overall --> The Preference to internal memory is very much appreciated and you have done an awesome job with it :D , a bit more good theming will make this a perfect daily driver ;)

Yes ,need to get rid of that pause. Themes will be via aroma,skinned systemUI/Framework or vr theme engine .
Xperia Theme Framework is very heavy on resources so I am not going to use it.
File explorer in Next version.
Xposed will work out of box in next version.
Battery as % or icons is yet to be decided .

Great work! But I have some problems

The virtual keyboard seems to be broken on Mini Pro. Crashes every time I try to use it instead of my physical keyboard, which not always can be used. Perhaps there's some conflict with AnySoftKeyboard or something?
Otherwise, great kernel+ROM, though I had to change the governor to SmartassH3, because the default one doesn't have a sleep/wake profile and it generally ran on higher frequencies, which meant all-in-all that the battery lasted barely half a day. Now the battery barely drains while sleeping. Though, to be honest, the battery seems to drain quite faster than on a previous rom/kernel I used, which came a bit as a surprise considering that one was supercharged and whatnot.
But aside from that, I love this ROM to death because of its vanilla feeling without having any other ballast on top of it, which is rare to find as every ROM tries to have as much in it as possible (that often resulted in more problems than was worth, especially when it came to UI). I'll give this ROM+kernel a few more spins, hopefully the battery will level out somewhat after a few recharges.
Also love the red status bar. A nice change from the otherwise overused blue/white.

Cheers, and I look forward to more of your great work on this :highfive:

EDIT: Forgot to mention a few things:
1) The 600+ MB of internal space. Absolutely divine.
2) I had to download a separate app to see my battery charge as percentage. Would be awesome if it was natively built in, but it's not really all that necessary.
3) Theme / icons are also really awesome.
4) When I press the back / menu buttons (the two near the home button) on my mini pro, the phone doesn't vibrate.

WOW !! Someone actually liked the red status bar and theme :D . I am shocked !! I didn't want blue and white for same reason . Too much over use.
The thing about Vanilla ROMs is an end user can do whatever he wants and there is scope for it !!

/About the keyboard
Try deleting AnySoftKeyboard ?
Not sure what problem is ,but next time I will create Mini Pro from it's base instead of using Active Base.

I will do something about the batter percentage. Either it will be as number besides the battery icon. Or numbered battery icons.


Thanks for good rom .
this rom is the best rom
pls in the next version install xperia keyboard ;)
Which device ?
Xpeira keyboard + dictionaries take 15-18 MB of space ..

Gonna try this baby. Feedback later. :p

EDIT: I feel sorry for my device. :p As I did not follow instruction.
This is what I did, Flash Stock, Factory Reset, Fastboot Radium kernel .img, Boot to Recovery, Flash Radium ROM, set aside device to rest for awhile, Reboot to Recovery, Clear Dalvik.. afterwards I'm so speechless.

ROM is not best but beast. Lol. Gonna stay tuned for updates. :D

EDIT: I hope I don't get kick by editing twice, I feel my previous feedback was incomplete, so I add up some few more. Why not?.

1. The redish-style of ROM is good in my eyes as I don't feel nauseous as I feel in overused-blue color.
2. Whodahell gonna give you 690MB Phone memory for FREE.
3. Exactly, 215MB of RAM on stand-by. More intelligence for my app. Thank God and @karandpr.
4. The icons, you gotta love it. It feel so unique.
5. ROM is 95MB, even dial-up can download this.
6. No features, just beastly "Freebies".

On Xperia Mini, when I am using Google Maps or OsmAnd the "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped working" message appears, the status bar disappears, and after that periodically I get that message, and I have to reboot the phone.

Also, there is no option to get the internet settings.

update: It happens with apps that use GPS. If I turn of GPS, its OK, even with network location on.

Both bugs are fixed. Wait for next version .
Will use modified apn file instead of the download settings app

1. I think Home is stock.
2. Read my feedback uptop, that's what I did. BUT take your own risk when not following instruction. :)
3. I dun have mate. BUT ROM is based on .587 stock. That's what I read on first page.

Rom is very nice,planning to change the red color, but that is not the problem. I have a bug when i run a ussd code, I get Connection problem or invalid MMI code. I have signal,can call and text, but cant run the code.
