Three Musketeers Proudly Present.....

Welcome to the Darkside....
Dark Passion - Unofficial Paranoid Android 2.55


This started as me compiling Paranoid for a few friends over on the Galaxy Nexus and then after a while it was getting modified everytime I compiled it, to add more and more 'Inverted Apps' and its got to the stage now where its all just about inverted.... when one of my friends suggested we should release it on there because it was 'good enough' we thought why the hell not... So now I've got a Xperia T and thought that you guys over here might like a touch of the Darkness on your phone. Because of the quality of the screen, the 'INVERTED' appearance looks awesome on this...

As stated this is compiled from source by me. Its just the plain compile, with no cherry picks (yet). We have added various things and taken some out to make it better for us and we will be releasing as is. Now this is made for our little circle of friends and I will not be changing it from how it is now... So please don't ask for the old apps to be added back. If you want a plain standard version of Paranoid, use the official version as that is the benchmark we all try to rise too ;)

I will endeavor to update at least once a week, and update the inverted apps accordingly. Some of the inverted apps I use like Google+ will obviously try to update through Play Store when they are updated. If you update it will revert it to normal, so just simply turn off auto updates for them

Thanks for your contribution! Do you by chance have a list of anything in particular that doesn't work?

I may load this when I get back from a business trip... need Voice and Bluetooth to be solid and I've had an issue with CM and prox sensor on calls.

Well it is obviously based on CM but I've not noticed any problems with proximity sensor on calls and as far as Bluetooth goes it turns on and I've been able to pair it up with my nexus, I don't have a BT headset or earphones so I've not been able to test with anything like that

I really hope in the future T and TX roms can be made interchangeable, similar to when dev just started on Desire Z with the two different versions. Hope it is the same case for these two phones as they seem to be identical apart from design.

Hii,

After a long long time i'm back to XDA :laugh:

This is mine first android phone. Before this one i have used iphone and HTC blackstone. So i need to learn a lot.
I have already rooted my phone with bin4ry method.
Next thing to learn is how can i boot in to recovery mode?
Or even better is there a dummies guide to flash custom roms for Xperia T?

thanks,

I don't know to be honest... what are the differences between the two phones? I would say just try it, but I don't want to be reposible if it turns your phone into a paperweight :)
I believe it's kernel changes that are needed but not 100%. Kali in the FXP CM thread put up his device repo for the TX so you could have a look at that as championswimmer (think that's his name) has released an AOKP build for the TX using this which apparently works. If it's just kernel related that should mean you could have the ROM and kernel as separate files and then people can choose the relevant one to them or get the updater-script to check build.prop and install the correct files for the correct device.

Yeah I asked championswimmer what the differences were... I was thinking more on the make a flashable zip for the kernel for the TX so you could just flash after the rom, don't know whether that would work though.

I'm just compiling 2.52 now so once that is done, I will have a look for the TX kernel repo and have a look what will need to be done, at least compiling a kernel will take less time than compiling another rom lol :D

Edit: championswimmer has very kindly pointed me in the direction of the device files for the TX, so I will have a go at compiling one for the TX in a bit ;)
