AW: [ROM] 26/02- RomAur v1.0 [ 10.1.A.1.350 ] [ C6603 ] [ONLINE]

Thx.

My WLAN on std Rom will not suspend...
I think it costs a bit of battery...
On Samsung's wifi is interrupted in the battery log. On my Sony it is not. Stamina is on.

The Sony keyboard sucks....
- Swiftkeyboard(=new Samsung keyboard) is much better. I like the auto space insert function. And word prediction! And if a word is wrong, and its going to auto correct, Samsung keyboard will not delete the word, like Sony keyboard. Samsung keyboard only go one step back and it's possible to correct the word. On Sony I have to write the hole word new.

-Maybe a force hdr photos/videos at all time tweak.

- A tweak to remove softkeys at bottom
And insert it to a menu into powerbutton,slide up from bottom, into launcher as toggle app, every gesture you want, to Re-reenable it.

- Same to disable statusbar, temporarily.
Its a lot of unusable space in some conditions.

- Maybe the 23toggle +1 bar.
The 1 is full screen mode, with{out} statusbar and no softkeys at bottom.

(like here in tapatalk...^^)

Thx 4 reading my wishes

Private Island.
friendly guide

You need to download the two parts (001 and 002) then join them together by using HJsplit App.
Thank you so much ! I never saw and heard about HJsplit.
This is my first Sony phone. And I have never seen 2 separate zips and I have never heard of HJsplit. (And I am an advanced user witch is coming (grown) from G1)



Noob friendly recommendation:

CHARGE THE PHONE ! (The phone do not charge in the recovery mode when connected to PC usb. My phone was dead after I clicked reboot to recovery ! And the power button key did not work....Only then I realized the problem was a battery. And the phone was 46% charged !!)


After you flashed recovery the phone would not restart to stock rom ! Even if you wipe catch and Dalwik. So remember the New rom supposed to be in your "SD card" or internal memory before you flash "recovery" (boot.img) So there was NO point to make a backup.


1) Download 2 parts of rom. Do not extract them.
2) Download HJsplit
3) Create folder with the name "Rom".
4) Put in Rom folder "RomAur V1.7z.001" and "RomAur V1.7z.002"
5) Open HJsplit and click "Join"
6) In "File input" choose "RomAur V1.7z.001". In "Output" choose "Rom folder".
The program will automatically generate 2 parts.
7) The generated zip will be located in Rom folder. Extract it. And copy to SD card or to internal memory.
8).....you know what to do next.
