[ROM][4.2.2][ALL MDPI] JellyVanilla EX 7.0 (EOL) | Please Vote | 16/09/2014

[iiandskater]

FEATURES :

Based on LegacyXperia CM10.1 builds by mikeioannina, and OFFICIAL Sony JB 4.3 for Xperia Z1
Now you can feel the official Sony JB/KK stuffs in our 4.2.2 JB core !!
​

HOMESCREEN
By using the Honami Home launcher and real honami widgets with working accent color,
get the real feel of using flagship Xperia device..


​

UI
I've hardly themed CM10.1's very stock UI into the latest flagship Xperia's UI on this JellyVanilla EX


​

MULTIMEDIA
Enjoy every enjoyment of your live by using Sony's great media apps right on this ROM..

You can enjoy music playing by using Honami WALKMAN app that have been packed with it's original environment such as ClearAudio+, Clear stereo, Dynamic normalizer, Sound Enhancement equalizer, etc..


Enjoy your photos anywhere anytime with the the latest Sony's Album app, and it's SensMe Slideshow feature..


And get detailed info for your videos with Honami Movies app..​

JACS
Honami theme accent color is a great eye-candy, but it's so complicated to port it to other rom especially non-Sony rom
So i try to implement my own accent color system, i'm proudly presents : JACS (JellyVanilla Accent Color System)
A pseudo Honami accent color system made for JellyVanilla builds !!
It's still in beta/development stage, but i hope you like it


​

TWEAK
Don't ask about it, just FEEL the power of it !! ​

MISC


​

ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP !!
Before flashing any one of the files in this thread..
I don't responsible of any negative things like boot-looping, bricked device, burned SD card, you late to go to school,
or the next world war caused by the ROM here..
You have been warned !!​

INSTALLATION

• JellyVanilla EX 7.0

Older:

• JellyVanilla EX 6.1
  
• JellyVanilla EX 5.3
  
• One based on LX CM10.1 20131108 rebased by @Vynikal

MORE :

• [NEW] Dolby for JV-EX 7.0 (credits to master Frogy Furnetal for base files), freeze Sound Enhancement after flashing!
• Experimental xLoud
• Chinesse Keyboard addon

Q & A :

• Where is Developer Options and Performance settings ??
  - Go to Settings -> About phone then press Build number 7 times..
• I can't read anything in Messaging app ?!
  - Don't be so afraid. Press menu button, select Settings, and you can personalize looks and feel of your Messaging app there
• MSC mode ??
  - Settings -> Xperia™ Connectivity -> USB computer connection -> Mass Storage
• Some apps have bad layout ??
  - Of course because they're made for HDPI+, fix: simply change your phone dpi to 140 OR change per-app density to 140 (just like PA)
• How to disable small apps ??
  - Freeze/disable 'Small App Launcher' then restart phone (or just restart SystemUI)
• Your ROM is faster than NOS !! But some other 4.2.2 ROMs are faster ??
  - Nah, don't ever try to compare this one's performance with it's 4.2.2 brothers.
  Why ?? I think u already know, this rom is half CM10.1 and half SONY 4.3 fw.
  All SONY 4.3 fw are made for it's HIGH END devices that basically not our device, so they're very hungry in resources.
  I HAVE and I WILL do my best to handle the performance degradation of using SONY's fw.
  So don't complain to me IF you found this rom has worse performance than other 4.2.2 roms, complain to SONY instead..

TIPS :

• Go to Settings -> Personalization -> Status bar -> Battery status style, it'll let you choose another battery style
• Go to Settings -> Personalization -> Lockscreen -> Background -> Color fill -> move the Alpha slider max to the right, it'll give you better lockscreen look
• Go to Settings -> Personalization -> Lockscreen -> uncheck Camera widget, it'll eliminate lockscreen camera bug (LX / CM10.1 bug)
• Add "Network mode" into quick settings panel then setting it to "2G | 3G" will give you ability to stick into 2G/3G only
• Add "Digital clock" into lockscreen widget then remove the default lockscreen clock widget will give you stock Sony clock as default lockscreen clock widget
• found another ?? Please comment to share

I'm sorry but what's the deal with the WIFI and the Mike's kernel, really? No wifi here.

Edit: and you say that you know the bugs on this ROM, well how about informing us too before installing the rom and wiping everything?

Yeah, so since you don't inform people of the bugs, I'll be so kind and say that sd card does not get read. I rebooted and everything. So yeah, that's for the people that may want to try this rom.

 

[ml13]

Good Job man :good: I test

Why do not you use the Xperia lockscreen, or any other?

Sorry for my bad english ...

 

[ace05gerald]

Very nice and beautiful rom, i hope that you fix the remaining bugs in the next release after that im gonna try this rom :good:

 

[nathanchausse]

The wi-fi doesn't work? Really? Even with the 3.4.55 kernel? The sdcard doesn't get read? '-'

okay i'll do that..

Hey, there's no wifi and sd card ?? Really ?!
WOW that's such a TERRIBLE thing !!

But WAIT, let me guess..
You're using 3.4.57 kernel from LX 815, aren't you ??
Oh please..
Are you kidding me ??

Why do not you use the Xperia lockscreen, or any other?

i'll do if there's any..

anyway is there any ??

Very nice and beautiful rom, i hope that you fix the remaining bugs in the next release after that im gonna try this rom :good:

Come on man..
No major bugs here, just little bugs like some graphical/layout, FCs on power widget settings and FCs while you click on the expanded statusbar clock,
nothing will kill you..

 

[nathanchausse]

testing rom..

NO, I used .55 kernel. BTW, keep your irony to yourself when you're the one that provided the wrong kernel links in the post(something that you fixed today, as I see). So please, keep being so ironic while you do the mistakes.

My audio does not seem to be working, anyone else have this issue?
Also, is the wifi fixed after flashing 3.4.55 kernel?
Edit: the WiFi is fixed when you flash the 3.4.55 kernel, but the audio still seems to not be working
