Discussion About Android 4.3 and 4.4 - Xperia SP General

This Thread is meant for those Who would like to share their views on the Android 4.3/4.4 updates for the Xperia SP.
Any issues or bugs that need to be looked after can also be shared.
I know this is a bit early to open a thread before the update but I don't want to be too late!
Please don't confuse this Thread with the news about Jelly bean thread. THIS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DISCUSSION.
Thanks.

756 Mb of RAM is available for basic multitasking and app usage. Rest is being shared with the GPU.

Chek out the pic

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'!

New Vignette app

So I recieved an email from the makers of Vignette saying that they had to make a new apk because the old one was not able to be updated. They said to buy the new one and the old one will automatically be refunded. Nice! But, only problem is, it doesn't work (on Beta 4 anyhow...). So, I just wanna warn people not to uninstall the old one and get the new one. Luckily I had it backed up
Cheers.
It worked with me ( Stock 2.1 )
so I guess this is custom Rom issue
Works perfect on stock 2.1. With Wolfbreaks cm rom had some trouble but finally started to work..same with freex10.
So it works, just keep messing with it.

yeah i'm using vignette 2011.02.24.6 the focus problem kinda solved..
i did having trouble with 02.24.5
vignette's dev is also updating his work on videocam illusion for x10 version 1.01
I just updated mine.. working perfectly ....
I contacted the devs of this app about a week ago to tell them the x10 was still out of focus in some situations. Have to say, they were VERY helpful and I got a message from them saying they had bought an x10 just to fix the issue, and they'd fixed it and the update was now available.
I'm very impressed with them and Vignette is now back on form! As for the slow picture taking, I tend to stick to the 2MB option for quick snapshots, it's MUCH quicker. Also turned off location info and that seems to help too.

yes just wanted to say thats is kind a waste of time for who ever wants to works on it
Well, my actual progress is, "power mode" showing up in settings, you can enable but will get an hot-reboot and than you must reflash ROM because your arc will boot to system, hot reboot, boot to system, hot reboot etc...
I think app need to be suported by some libs , kernel and seting apk

[Stock ROM June13]N7100XXDMF2_N7100OLBDMD2_XME

Upadating something soon

One change in gallery
-if we open picture from file explorer with gallery, it shows previews of other pictures in same folder at bottom.
- now charging currant is 1700, before update was 1800 so may be tweaked? Or coincidence in my case
- after using 24 hrs almost, i can say battery management improved.
- wifi issue reported solved (reported by @ yahyoh).
Edit : Mod available based on this ROM
Transparent Status bar + Grey text + Grey circle battery + Grey 3D toggle icons + Call Recording

Been keeping an eye on this thread to see what improvements there are before I take the plunge. I'm on dmc3 and I have smooth scrolling and animations. Also my sms is silky smooth when scrolling through long threads already.
My screen on time is minimum 5 hours too.

Advantages of Firefox OS on Arc S

Dear Arc/S users
Althought we - Arc or Arc S users - use a smart phone that come out only two year ago we can't use our telephone without custom roms, because it is very laggy, and have got lots of bugs notification led etc. with 4.0.4 update. And some users including me have privacy concerns with permission etc.
I want to call attention to advantages Firefox OS on Arc S:
1. First, I saw this video. http://youtu.be/5MzuGWFIfio. In video Firefox Browser that was very laggy on my Arc S with Custom ROM is working awesome without any lag. And the phone in the video has 256 Mb RAM. Think this os how works fast on Arc S.
2. And all Xperia 2011 series except for Arc have a Firefox OS Development Topic. We have a topic too but is not improved yet, and haven't got enought attention. I open this topic for this stuation.
3. Boot in less than 6 seconds even in MDPI devices. (This Xda Topic) (Edit 1: Firefox OS open as fast as 4.0.4 stock dialer. )
4. The small footprint of a browser based operating system means that B2G should significantly extend battery life before re-charging.(This Xda Topic)
5. B2G will be the first mobile OS to use Do Not Track at the operating system level. (This Xda Topic)
Is there a way to do a backup and transfer messages and contacts from android to firefox and return ?

Camera working nice on cm11

As u guys are concernd abt d camera quality on cm11 .. I have found a solution .... Just download the app named focal(beta) from play store ... It works very good and fine than the default camera ...
Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its worlds most buggy camera as far as i have downloaded it 5times for me
developers are like gods
For Me, Stock Camera is better. Focal is still in beta and buggy. Hope the dev team will fix that soon.
Focal used to be included on JellyBean CMs. It's buggy as hell.
Besides default CM11 camera is good enough, with quality almost matching Samsung's camera... the only downside is the slow camera preview.
