Hi,

Just installed your ROM without any problem. It was my first custom installation, I was more and more disappointed by the Sony ICS ROM, slow and bugued on my Xperia Mini.

Good job, it seems to works great for now. I used the recommended kernel, as I am a total newbie for this :D

I noticed some little problems.

The autobrightness setting seems broken. When I enable it, turn off and turn on the screen, the brightness is super low. The auto adjusting works but the brightness stays pretty low.
When autobrightness is turned off, it is really fine. But it seems to keep auto adjusting the brightness. I think it was also working like that in the stock ROM, but I'm not sure.

The lock screen seems to be too big for the screen resolution (can't see the operator name at the bottom, and it is even more cutted if only emergency calls are available).

And if the phone is plugged in while being off, it powers on (I know there is a fix) but the phone is super slow. Turning it on the normal way (with the button) does not cause this problem.

Also, what is "KitKat Launcher" ? It doesn't even launch when I touch it.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

Also if I add a shortcut on the dashboard for an app installed from the market, it is removed after restarting the phone :eek:
I replaced the original framework-res.apk with the one someone posted few pages ago (to fix the lockscreen, even if it's not perfect), can it be the cause ?

Probably because it's installed on the SD card .
All shortcuts from apps moved to/installed on SD dissapear.
Only option is to move them back to internal memory.
I had it on GB and ICS, Not tried JB yet.

New google play services > 6.0 causes random reboots and slows the overall phone in this rom. I have to keep it disabled and use older version google maps and other apps, everything else is perfect..
Any solution for this anyone?? :) :angel:

SJB Glonass issue

Hey, I do have serious Problems using Navigation. Phone is not using Glonass at all!

If I check the signal using different apps I can see Glonass satellites but the phone wont fix them!

I travel a lot, starting a one year motorbike trip soon! I need reliable GPS and Glonass connection

Any solutions?

1. Autobrightness works fine for me, but I'll check it again :)
2. It's a known problem and I guess there was someone who built a framework-res.apk to solve it. But I have to check this again, too!
3. Please use the fix and this should not happen again...
4. "KitKat Launcher" is a launcher for your phone. It should show your home screen on clicking it/selecting it (as default) ;)

You're right. It vibrates but doesn't launch the camera. I'll search for a fix for this :)

It won't have update anymore?

I'm sorry, but as you all may have noticed, I'm quite inactive at the moment. This is because I have to do much work for school and for my exams. If I have some free time I'll try to update the rom and fix some bugs, but I'm not sure when or even if I will have some free time :(
But of course I want to encourage everybody to post possible fixes for some bugs in this thread. Thanks for your support guys and thanks for using the rom ;):good:

I've flashed miniuser123's kernel, and installed this ROM but I can't record in 720p. Every time I try the camera's driver crashes.
Some people here reported that it works so what could cause the problem?

Device: Xperia mini ST15i.

    Recommended kernel : nobodyAtall's 2.6 kernel
    Recommended kernel settings : No overclock, just stock!



    Recommended install method : Full WIPE !!
    ( Remember : you are not experiencing the true strength of sjb if you don't do a full wipe )    ​




    Suggestions/recommendations for and after installation [IMPORTANT]​

    FULL WIPE IS RECOMMENDED FOR ANY VERSION OF THE ROM.

    0.Don't restore anything from titanium backup.. its better to download apps from play store...
    1.Rom is tested only on fxp, mesa jelly bean and nAa's 2.6 kernel kernel , however it should work fine on others[/B]
    2.In MX player , by default use SW decoder.. if the video doesn't work properly , only then use HW decoder.
    3.Keep all the animation set at 0.5x in developer options
    5.[optional] you can delete 1 of the launcher apps. [2 included]

    NOTE : do not use seeder or anything else with this rom ( you dont have to ).. if you do then don't post here about battery life... thanks.



    HOW TO INSTALL :

    Note : only for unlocked bootlader
    1. copy super jelly bean and gapps to sd card
    2. flash any jb kernel for your device..
    3. (optional but recommended: flash stock ics .587 ftf excluding kernel and simlock.ta files..)

    FAQ :

    I am having bootloop( never boots just shows kernel logo and bootanimation ) . What to do ??
    Please follow the steps and install correctly because hundreds of users already use the rom without any problem !


    I am having a laggy rom
    Do a clean install of the rom ie wipe data(factory reset) , wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache , wipe system , wipe data and cache


    My wifi is not working
    flash the wifi modules (present in addons ) of the respective kernel . it will be present in the kernel thread !!


    My keyboard/hardware keyboard is not working
    You need to disable the hardware keyboard, to enable any other keyboards. The hardware keyboard will still be working, even if you disable it ;)


    I get a status 7 error in cwm after wiping system

    1.That's normal because the rom.zip wants to get information about your phone and after wiping system it can't do that. Open the zip on your pc, go to META-INF -> com -> google -> android and open the updater-script with a text editor (like notepad++). Now you delete the first few lines with "assert" and "getprop". Repack the zip and you should be able to flash!

    2. If you did the first method and you still get a status 7, could it be you are on lupus kernel? Read the FAQ for more info/help!


    CPU settings :
    No OC , interactive governor and deadline as scheduler !!


    which kernel do you use ? :
    nobodyAtall's 2.6 kernel with No OC ,stock settings


    Can I even use lupus kernel ? :
    It looks like you get a status 7 error while installing the rom on lupus kernel, so better use another one (you can install the rom on any kernel and then flash lupus kernel if you want to, but it seems like there are some problems with lupus)!


    Why is rotation not working? :
    You have to enable Auto-Rotation in settings -> display -> auto rotation!


    How to fix superuser? :
    Please try flashing this. It should remove the superuser.apk from /system/app. Then please reinstall superuser or supersu from playstore. If the zip doesn't work, please report! :)


    How to enable ANT+ on this rom? :
    Follow the steps on this post by steinarlundemo. Thank you for this great method!


    How to disable the button backlight? :
    In system/etc/hw_config.sh, look for echo number > $dev/button-backlight/ and change the number! Change it to 1, to disable the light. (Thank you washwash for pointing it out here)


    How to fix offline charging (charging when phone is turned off) on this rom? :
    Flash the zip from this post by sud.vastav. Thanks for this!


    what can i do to repay you ?
    just hit the thanks button here

    BATTERY TIPS :
    Few basic tips to really get the most battery out of your device..

    1.Try changing the kernel if you have a heavy battery draining
    2.Reduce the screen brightness and the screen time out to a comfortable value
    3.Don't Overclock as i said many times already.. use 122/1024 ( even for gaming )
    4.Turn off wifi , bluetooth etc when not in use
    5.Before going to sleep , turn off useless apps such as whatsapp running in the background
    6.Restart your phone once everyday or every two days.. ( i restart my phone everytime before putting it for charging , i usually re-charge only when the battery reaches 1 % )
