FAQ

  • How to use Honami Camera to avoid force close, please follow this carrefully

    - After the installation of the rom, install Camera widget.
    - Click on the dinosaur.
    - Directly click again on the dinosaur at bottom left and select manual.
    - Never touch Superior auto or you will have to follow these steps again.

    Until now you can use the camera shortcut normally ;)

    - These settings are not working, don't touch them:

    - Stabilizer
    - ISO
    - Superior Auto
    - 2MP

    - DON'T ASK FIX! I will do when I will do if possible!

  • Some icons are missing on Home drawer.

    Go in settings/apps/all and force stop of Xperia Home.

  • Quick settings are force closing...

    Try to uncheck all toggles and reboot.

    If it doesn't work, move a few toggles, let it force closing 5 or 6 times ;)

  • My battery is draining fast?

    Do a fresh installation, let the rom settle and charge your phone a few times to let the battery calibrate.

    Use stock or Doom kernels, they are done by qualified people.

  • Advanced Stock Camera & Widget

    This will replace Honami Camera by a fully fonctionnal stock camera with Superior Auto feature.

    The camera widget is also replaced by a new one with:

    • Shortcut to Torch Light
    • Shortcut to same option as quick launch setting (The Video Camera).




    1) Flash this in recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/awfybmc8ay1dlpm/Advanced_Stock_Camera.zip
    2) Wipe cache and Dalvik Cache
    3) Reboot
    4) Go in settings/apps/all and clear data of everything related to camera.


    TIPS: If you still have problems of force closing, better to do a new fresh installation of rom and flash this add on just after the rom installation before to reboot.

Decent ROM, but unfortunately all the ANT+ drivers are missing.
I have tried to restore the titanium backup of the drivers, unfortunately it has not helped, ANT+ is completely dead.
