[Discussion] Features Wanted for SpartaMOD [Based on my 2.3.7 AOSP]

The next update of the ROM will be based on FreeXperia Sources 100%
Which should fix tethering and most other things
I love my X10 and there is a bond with other X10'ers here
I wanted to start modding my AOSP into something that I want to call SpartaMOD
I had prepared for this some time ago ...
The ROM will be added on ROM Manager (HTC Desire HD section )
I only have the guts of asking because I now have a lot more knowledge as I created my App "God Mode" based on OMFGB
what would you want in this ?
Be very specific and the advantages of having it
I can't include MIUI Lockscreens , xLoud , etc (I'm not TripNRaver)
Please be careful This MOD will be spread to very many devices
Plans for now are :-
ARC , Neo and X10
HTC desire s and desire HD

Any one cares ?

1. combination of launcher will be great.
SE 2.3.3 floating overview, SE home, Go style application drawer with animations and build in task killer.
2. CM theme chooser
3. Must have apps pre-installed
Rooted and Superuser 3.0
Explorer (free)
New Android Market
Titanium Backup (free)
Facebook inside Xperia (perhaps )

On the T.E.A.M Rom they have appman which I believe is good for putting add-ons onto your rom without having them pre-installed or having them downloaded from the thread.

Thought of joining FreeXperia Team, spaarc?
You'll make a great addition, i think you should take my name "prodigy" cos you really are one, 15 yrs and first to port 2.3.7 about 4 days after release, remarkable achievement!

The question isn't abOut porting here
It is about open source development
I just wanted to create something like cyanogenmod but with a touch of my own and the recommendation of users

It would be better if Sony could have applications, such as Timescape and the camera application..

Is it possible for you to develop something that lets say could totally rework something like the statusbar?
Like being able to choose where the signal bar will be and the battery icon?
Something like that would be awesome

Would like yhe no wallpaper option if possible.

It will good if every thing is working(USB and WIFI Tethering, No data issues and with Working Camera and CAMcoder).....
Sorry for my bad English....

Now it's here, what do you think? ICS

I am actually quite happy with it, it's fairly fast nice and smooth with no major issues.
Just need status bar toggles, power button menu, custom kernel and I think I will be happy
What's everyone else's thoughts ?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

it's OK and stable..only thing is the lag issue..it should be snappier..

Is good to use smooth no lag

sorry that i try before 2.3 nearly kill my phone is pass so i dont want make mistake pls help ok

Well, I'm still not sure what the whole big deal is about this update for us.
It isn't more beautiful then a custom ROM. Even Sony told us that this isn't as fast as GB.
And their are still a lot of apps that isn't working correctly on 4.0.
I have it for only one reason. That is because I can't stand if someone with the same device have a newer software then me
Edit: I thought we should have the original unlock. But I have still the Sony one.....

It is no way smooth.. Everything works.. But isn't hardware acceleration supposed to increase the smoothness? I don't blame Sony. I blame Google for not fixing hardware acceleration right!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA

Try enabling gpu acceleration in developer settings?
Has anyone tried using apex launcher? It's probably way better than the stock launcher from what I've seen; like ICS but even better

Running official ics(rooted).its excellent. Very quick lag free compared to beta. I have frozen unneeded system apps and deleted bloatware. Very snappy
Sent from my LT18i using XDA

I love it.
I've been running the ICS beta since it was released and the performance of the final release blows it away on my Arc S. Getting it installed via Flashtool was a right PITA though - I thought my device was properly screwed at one point!
The launcher doesn't redraw like the beta did - I think Sony have made some memory tweaks in this area which is very welcome. I also like that they're shipping the official ICS Gallery app (and have renamed the old one 'Xperia Gallery') - the ICS Gallery app is so much faster than the Xperia one.
The ICS browser is in a different league to the GB one. I also love the Task Switcher, swipe notifications, music player controls, data usage monitor, new ICS calendar widget, GMail widget, etc. etc.
But Sony won't be able to please everyone. Some people were expecting the 2012 NXT UI even though Sony never promised it. These people will be disappointed. Personally I can't see what all the fuss is about - I'm sure someone will get the Xperia S music player working on ICS if that's what people want!

sooo smooth
so fast
i use baseband 70 with cm9
so fast sooo smooth >> perfect battery use
good new baseband

please can someone find a way too root this firmware without unlocking the bootloader??

its complete rubbish to be honest. It hasnt improved at all since beta, the look and feel of it is like 2.3. They could have atleast been bothered to integrate some of xperia s apps.

Why would they integrate S apps into the Arc S ? What would be the point in giving this years flagship phones apps to last year's ? Then it removes some of the attraction of upgrading , Sony is a business out to make money not provide users with all the solutions they want

Mozilla OS for Arc S

Now this is a very interesting OS for Arc S.
Installed it and it gave me 422mb of free RAM, very unique and beautiful was the UI and setup guide.
As mentioned the camera, bluetooth & FM were not working, but so was the back button. The reason I had to uninstall it was sheer lack of apps (understandably) and even when connected to wi-fi browser was not opening any pages.
But with such a refreshing look and feel would request developers to get it for Arc S as it is very refreshing.

i will macke FQA and i think there will be beter to discus about firefox os ;D

Back button is not supposed to work.

Pure Stock Project

Hello guys!
After trying and trying to get cdma stock rom working on gsm I realized that it was impossible LOL.
So I decided to start a new project instead: I called it the "Pure Stock Project".
It is a rom based on. 79 firmware, modded by me to look like cdma.
Let me know what you guys think, and if I should release it, screenshots in attachment!

I think it looks like 100% stock except for the Sony Ericsson stuff added in of course

Thank you man :good:
The only thing is that some semc apps use a button reference in the SemcGenericUxpRes, with a white text color, so in apps like dialer text is sometimes hard to see in some buttons
I'm trying to find a solution, since it's impossible to decompile and correctly recompile that framework.

but 1 question
have you tested any games on it?
why free ram is that much low
are you using a 720p kernel?

gaming on GB is always good, ram depends on your kernel, 720p kernel on GB is recommended (or doomkernel)
i have usually 240mb ram in stock GB - never faced any problems in the heaviest games. ram and benchmark-numbers (especially antutu) is just numbers-porn.

And yeah, 720p kernel there

It's not only the look:
most of the code is taken straight from the 2.3.3 sources that google released, that's why we cannot port it

Well, I think that the easiest way for now is to mod the drawables themeselves (sure I'll have to resize them).
Btw, next time you logcat, search for Errors (logs that start with "E:" ).

Actually, I tought of implementing ADJ tweaks and adrenobooster v0.7 by default, since it's still a stock rom, not an AOSP rom like cm7
In other words, I've changed most of the png's in the framework-res.apk (hard work lol), systemui.apk, most of the app to match cdma's icons, and other changes that I don't remember, so I don't think it should be easily used as a base rom

Well u made it so u mess with it,

I hope they further improve WiFi and get rid of the lockscreen design, I really dislike it. I miss the simple, but useful lockscreen from our 2012 Xperias (ICS build).

Xperia SP's Wi-Fi strength is poor in connectivity! The new lockscreen is more useful for me! In terms of simplicity, 2012 lockscreen was better'!
