[ROM][JB][AOKP] KangXperiaProject - milestone1r3

[hnl_dk]

Well, we're both right hnl. Build or port are only words. Most important for me is that it works
New builds replaced old ones, I think I'm gonna make future updates in smaller size, OTA only.
And if you've found any bug, you have any feature request - please, report here. I'm thinking about adding Xperia Menu to ROM Control - what do you think about it and what features it should have? Of course Xperia-related only.

It is in my eyes a very good idea, at least to support OTA, like you do :good:
Good idea with the ROM control.
I am happy to see that my latest keyboard changes are also included.
Will have a look later, when I get some time.

BTW OP, Are the links in 3rd post for the updated version??? Please add date or some other identifiers to differentiate between different versions....
Thank you

if you are good with java, then Xperia options should contain Bravia and xLoud... they can be added easily, though if you need some help you can contact Achotjan (his SEMC debrand engine integrates those features into CM). Those features ofcourse can be integrated into ROM and kept be hard-on or hard-off but keeping those features in settings menu would be great...

as far as the port/build debate goes

build : -
1. get source
2. edit code/source to make compatible with hardware
3. compile, debug, compile, debug, compile .......
4. publish rom

port : -
1. get prebuilt ROM from other device forum
2. change libs, decompile frameworks, make tweaks, kitchen kitchen kitchen...
3. trial, bootloop, trial, bootloop, trial, error, trial, error ...... trial, works !!!
4. publish ROM

anyways for the end user best ROM is the one that works flawlessly lol

I'm not very good with Java But as Sony didn't released sources for xLoud and Bravia, so, in theory, we shouldn't... But I will try I was thinking about music led menu in LwW, enabling it for notifications, etc.

Also, all roms on server are on their newest versions, I will only change hosting for them because my dedi server will run only for 2 next days and I don't have ~85$ for next month

Remember that both xLoud and the Bravia Engine are copyrighted, so it may not be redistributed. But a guide on how users can extract it from the stock rom and an easy way to use it, would be a good idea.

Yeah, I know. But just pushing libs can't get it to work. something needs to be replaced in frameworks AFAIK.

if so, could there be made a check in the framework, if the libraries are present, will they be used, if not let it work normally (or that it could be enabled by the user, if it had been copied to system).

How can we get the smart dial working??
Copy the CM10 dialer???

 

[tokaides]

nice awesome rom!

Things I've tried with my MiniPro. Equalizers are bugged sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Touch keyboard doesn't go away even when the HW keyboard has been engaged.
Rom Control crashes when navigation bar is selected.
Brightness levels reset after screen off

these are the things I've found so far.

HTH

 

[ashwinsadeep]

Also when you select dialpad settings from the dialer, it gives an FC and the phone loses signal for a minute or so.

Tried replacing CM10 dialer to make dialpad settings work, obviously it didn't work. Can someone tell me if there's any way to enable smart dial.

Thanks for that notes, I will try to fix that in 0.3

I think I've found what is causing this problem, will be fixed in next release.

android_device_semc_mogami-common

You should update android_device_semc_mogami-common.
There has been some nice changes: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_mogami-common/commits/jellybean/

Hey, I've been using this ROM for about 3 days now (LWW) and have found the following bugs (Not listed in 1st post):
MAJOR: Like in CM10, this ROM does not support any form of putting Apps to SD as well as some installs of Apps from SD Card to the ROM (Titanium Backup and such)
: Can't install apps straight to the SD with A2SD nor L2SD scripts/apps
: There's a Strange bug i notice for this ROM (not sure if applies to others) when i listen to music whiles shuffle is on/off and music changes the sound resets to its
highest volume rather than retaining the volume it had for the previous track, VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS
: OTA Updater Crashes

MINOR: If the facedown audio mode option is selected (Settings>Rom Control>Sound Settings>Facedown Audio) it usually interchanges from silent/vibrate at strange times,
very buggy
: When Watching a Youtube Video on my phone the ROM Retracks its self to the boot logo sequence (soft reboot, where the ROM has been booted on but is now
loading the system rather than a full/hard reboot where the kernel boots up the ROM itself) very strange since i imagine that it does not involve much or no hw
decoding to play the video

PLUS SIDE: Stereo Speakers do Work now and plays nicely never missing a beat
: Most AOKP Functions work
: Reasonably Stable now...more than CM10 and Paranoid Android (in terms of bugs)
: Is now safe for Daily use (opinion)

Can you tell me what error gives you OTA updater? otaupdater.otaid value missing?
CM bugs will be fixed as quick as fix appears in CM repos.

It doesn't state what makes it crash exactly...it just fc's once opened (to be more specific)

Edit:Has been fixed once I flashed gapps again I now get the usual error that u stated above ... but I only flashed the gapps because I noticed that my Google play store kept on crashing.. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it just keeps on crashing

@pikpok

i am getting some errors with the ota_from_target_files script....
so i wanted to ask, have you already resolved the issues? then could you commit them to msm7x30-common or if you have not then I'll resolve them and commit them myself

for referrence the error is this

building image from target_files BOOT...

basically it is due to that cm10 ota build script is slightly different from aokp one

You need to modify recovery.fstab in device folder a bit, add:

/boot auto boot

It's ugly hack and I know we have to change it in the other way, but it works. Also, there will be problem with one more partition IIRC, so do the same.

My Arch Linux install gives me kernel panic few minutes after launch. I'm trying to solve that problem, but don't expect any updates since my PC will start working as it should.

Note: Has now been fixed by uninstalling dsp manager, has anyone else got this bug?
