[Xperia S][ROM] XZXperience 2 | Official Sony JellyBean ported to ICS [27/2/13]

So you got the navigation bar hidden? There was another possibility by the way, you could install one of these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38637403&postcount=1896. The "No OSB" version removes the Navigation Bar, but let's you keep the Action bar (the "menu" button that looks like 3 vertical dots). It doesn't take screen space, it's one of the Holo guidelines to have such a button, but I think it's more convenient to reach than the physical menu button, and it's just the way Android is supposed to look.

What camera app zip did you try to flash? I'd try one of these: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101160. That V app should be the same as in this rom if I recall correctly, but it never hurts flashing again. What often helps for those FC's is going to settings\apps\all, scroll to the corresponding app (so camera) and select the option "wipe data" and (if possible) "wipe cache". I'd do that first before trying to flash one of those other apps by the way.

I tried to wipe data and cache but it didn't work out. I'm going to flash the xperia v zip now and report back.

EDIT: Ok it's not working and same goes for xperia nexus v2. However on turbo rom, it is working but it has a wifi bug where it keeps turning on.

I've got a little issue with this rom, but not sure it is the rom or some application which is doings that.
My sd space is slowly been filled with always the same empty file (0 ko) :

bitmapcache_(-)000000000.tmp

I used to have 130 of these files, always the same name, and a 10 digit relative number
(sometimes it has a minus (-) after the underscore)

I deleted all this afternoon, rebooted, but i already have 5 of these files ....

Go in settings/apps/all and clear datas of all apps related to camera.

Will I get a notification when official android 4.1.2 releases? Will I be able to update OTA? Or do I have to download a .tft and flash it with flashtool?
im on locked bootloader, stock kernel and XZXperience 2

What do you think? You are on a custom ROM, will you get a notification for the official one? No.

thank you for the kind reply.... I'm new to this stuff, so I don't know a lot about it yet...

However from my experience,
from gingerbread to ICS.

At that time I had root and custom ROM in GB, ICS was launched and when I plugged in to PC Companion, it notified me about a new update to ICS.
It downloaded the update to the computer.

However...cannot install in the phone.

But they are talking about notification, not about updating phone with SUS...

My fault. I thought it is about the notification on PC.
Sorry

maybe u cant install the update in ur phone if kernel is modified and ur bootloader is unlocked..try to flash the stock kernel (kernel.sin) then relock ur bootloader using flashtool then install again the update using pc companion.

 

[Trevor Chuah]

The way I did, pack the update into ftf by myself from the downloaded update, the flash it by flashtool.
Since nobody pack my country firmware and upload it.

Great ROM

Really good ROM. Had flashed it on to my device over the weekend. Kept getting annoying pop-ups that were interfering with even simple phone usage like making calls and it was lagging. Pop-ups with "Unfortunately, email has stopped" or "Unfortunately, exchange services has stopped." Also issues with sound enhancement not working in Walkman.

Wiping cache and reinstalling several times didn't work and I was close to reverting to my previous ROM. I decided to try move the offending apps (email, exchange, walkman and sound enhancement settings) from "system/app" (root access required), rebooted the phone with a hard reset, copied the files back to their original folder and rebooted again. This seemed to solve the issue as no pop-ups.

Quite impressed after this. The offending apps are actually working well now. No pop-ups and the ROM is incredibly smooth. Maybe one other useful thing to do after installing this ROM is to disable the navigation bar at the bottom (settings>navigation bar). Hope that helps someone.

@niaboc79

Are you going to port some of Z features to Xperia S Official JB?

I'm using the leaked .200, I was using XZXperience 2, but I'm missing some XZXperience 2 features like:
Location based WiFi and "Jellybean Tab 'n' Grid SystemUI".

Is it possible to port it? Also, a port of these features can run in LB bootloaders.. Am I correct?

Check eXisTenZ [Black or Normal, and soon, White edition]. It is based on leak .197 and has some ports. Some stuff, as White Balance and Stamina relies on kernel, so that means it won't work on LB.

Interesting, it does have location wifi, i think the notification bar that I want isn't a present feature on that rom...

Well nice roms coming with the new kernel sources...

I don't mind about white balance, but stamina is a feature that I really want, if Sony give this one in the official JB I'll keep my BL locked and enjoy BE (yes, I do like BE) and my warranty.

Ps: Let's don't talk about stamina mode present or not on official JB...

 

[xperiasiege]

official JB is out...
I gonna wait for xzx3

There won't be XZX v3. Now it is ExisTenZ.
