[ROM][V][LB,UB][JB 4.3] Xperia Poison *UPD 06/01/2016*

[saved-j]

Hello everybody.

Some of us come from 4pda.ru. This is russian forum where we have talks on phones, fws, ROMs etc.
As a happy SXV user, I have tried most of the existing ROMs for my phone. And happily ended my searchings on this one, which my friend @lubik1 and I have done. Why?
But look! We took best of Jelly Bean. We fixed almost all the problems 4.3 had! Now 4.3 is FAST enough and nice at multitasking. Now 4.3 is HARD to make music app get thrown out of memory when you multitask. Now 4.3 is not just up-to-date... it provides you all you need! And... Now your launcher doesn't get SO MANY redraws. ​

So, we introduce you the...
Xperia V Poison!
The Absolutely best you can get
from 4.3 Jelly Bean!​

Main features:

1. First of all, it is Fast!!!
2. Deodexed
3. Latest Sony Applications (email, conversations, etc)
4. Phil'z Touch CWM recovery mod
5. Full Z3 Sony Style
6. Music tweaks & sound by Lovins/Ibanez7 (sound quality is really HIGH!)
7. Full Cyber-Shot Lollipop UI (thanx Toxizen and everyone else)
8. build.prop and init.d tweaks to improve multitasking (we did it ourselves)
9. Bluetooth REALLY works normally (in Lovins it doesn't)
10. REALLY working XLOUD, X-reality, X-brightness ON LOCKED/RELOCKED BOOTLOADERS (even 'relocked' with lost TA section!).
11. Battery life - GOOD! it's stock... (still better than lollipop though i must admit that latest Neo 12.1 does a great job!!!)
12. Changing Music Tracks by volume rocker (if you don't want it, just flash THIS: View attachment std-framework.zip)
13. lollipop-like-UI
14. that square spot in the right upper corner, which simulates the power button
15. GAPPS included (sorry guys, if you don't want it, please consider removing it yourself)
16. Performance Control (gain developer settings to access it)
17. and other stuff

Sooo...
Instructions!
I suppose that everyone of you have been flashing ZIPs so i won't be long:

1. Just download one of these ZIPs above
2. Wipe everything if you're not gonna do a "dirty" flash from another 4.3
3. Root: towelroot; SuperSu.apk; reboot
4. We suggest you flashing it in older versions of Philz Touch Recovery CWM mod or you'll have to reflash it again (here is the most suitable recovery installer View attachment XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.94-BETA.installer.zip)
5. reboot
6. flash the ROM
7. ??????
   [*]PROFIT!!!!

If you experience NO SIGNAL after first boot in this ROM, then just do all the wipes and reflash ROM again.​

Other case, if you don't have Internet connection, either download settings or check APN yourself.​

[MESA]

Is Xloud not working at all on UB? And "13.that square spot in the right upper corner, which simulates the power button" - can that be removed? Final is rom deodexed? Would like to try this.

 

[andrasandhi]

oh yeah it'ld be nice if u can attach some screenshot of this ROM

I'm here to say something about that poll.

One of main reasons that I don't use JB is that I can't have system wide color emoji.

For me, KK was best version of Android in almost all aspects.

And for KK, I would go for MIUI + Neo Kernel.

But we don't have active MIUI support.
And also WhiteNeo is not going to release his CM 12 kernel for KK, So I'll stay on Resurrection Remix

And "13.that square spot in the right upper corner, which simulates the power button" - can that be removed? Final is rom deodexed? Would like to try this.

This Guide may help you. Yes all builds are Deodexed. Enjoy!

Just decompile systemui remove line, and then recompile. If You don't know how, I help you later.

Little updates: added screenshots, added some info. Come on and try

In our (russian users of this phone) opinion, this is the most rich experience of 4.3 you can ever get on SXV!

 

[Toxizen]

Good work man . Wish I could try but my Xperia v is dead

 

[saved-j]

go get one on ebay! i got mine for less than $130. can't think of something better... perhaps, if waterproofness isn't an requirement, xiaomi mi2s would give sxv a challenge... but mi2s's camera is worse than sxv, though both have sony exmors. and xiaomi mi2s got 2gb of ram, which is better than 1gb...

i'm not even mentioning nice and sleek miui... you should look@xiaomi! or, lemme repeat - go get yaself an xperia v on ebay!

 

[klincharov]

Installing on my wife's phone, hope this brings it back to life

Pretty nice, but the 3g doesn't work ?
edit:

If you experience NO SIGNAL after first boot in this ROM, then just do all the wipes and reflash ROM again.

In Philz Recovery, there is wipe for a new rom and wipe for factory reset, which one should I do ?

1G, 2G, 3G, 4G - everything works! If there was 5G or anything better, it would also work!
It only touches those who don't have any signal after first boot! You need just to reflash the Poison from its recovery.

Do wipe "for a new rom" and flash the zip again.

Do wipe "for a new rom."

Thanks for the quick reply. I originally did the "new rom" wipe, but 3g doesn't connect. Should I try again with it, or the other wipe ? Or the two combined ?

And a question: do you happen to have the SystemUI without the power off button ?

Other than that, the rom is A W E S O M E ! Really brought the device back to life

Still no 3g...

SOrry, I saw and did the "download settings for internet and MMS", sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the awesome rom!

Hello again. I see you already downloaded settings for internet. So here you go with your 2/3/4G.

What about systemUI without poweroff button... You may try whatever 4.3 systemUI you want, you may even try stock one. But don't forget to put it together with .odex file if there is one. I can't tell if I have "clean" systemUI.apk without that power button spot

other than that, thank you for liking the ROM

 

[Eldegal]

The navigation bar quite small . How can i resize back to normal ?
P/S : Compare the Lovin's Rom , your seems to run smoother . Can u add the transparent notification bar

And we have working bluetooth and no lags in playing music and music driver does output of better quality, also. Whole list of benefits. I only reboot my phone once a week! I heavily use it and anyway spend over 120 hrs of uptime before the phone starts to really slow down.

I recommend you installing Xperia Xposed (by serajr) and tweak navigation bar and all of the UI the way you wish.

Hi again! It turns out my wife got used to the power button
Just wanted to consult with you, there seems to some small freezes with her phone. She can't describe it to me really, but It seems it's always with combination of facebook messenger + keyboard, like the keyboard refuses to open or lags with the animation and/or lags while typing after that.

Any setting I should check ? I don't think I've changed anything in the performance menu, but there might be something.

Other than that the ROM is simply amazing! I couldn't believe the battery life after the first setup - I thought the battery percentage was stuck!

Well, to be honest, I think it`s something with facebook app. I`ve had lags with it on my V and,what was a surprise, on my gf`s mi3,which runs SD800.

Thanks for the input! I will try to get her to use the website and see how it will go.
