Develop Bugs

[Q] Q about updating Xperia Pureness from ThilinaC

Are there any way to update Xperia Pureness without wiping data/apps?
I can't post on development section yet =]
PS: Thilina should work for Sony btw. His/her rom is way much better than any other I've installed.

Absolutely right. I've tried flashing a lot of ROMs but his ROM is my favorite one, though it still has a few bugs. Anw, I think you should do the full wipe to make sure that everything works fine. And, you know, I'm still waiting for build 14, patiently

Full wipe is always recommended for best performance and no issues at all!!

Thank you guys!
But do you have any (free) solution to backup and restore the phone's data and apps without bugs?
Titanium always fu*s some of my apps (whatsapp, bank apps, kaspersky and social networks)
Or do you use the cloud sync and restore apps from android main config (the one that downloads all installed apps again)?
Also I'd like a suggestion. Do you update all releases or wait for 2 or 3 releases to go out and then update?
I dunno much about these things xD

Link For the new ROM (http://db.tt/bylFaYcO)
Link is same as of the old one. but rom is new
DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS ROM AS IT HAVE A BUG OF ALWAYS CRASHING "android.media.process" NOW I AM BUSY WITH MY M.S ADMISSION PROCESS SO I CAN'T DO MUCH FOR THIS....JUST FOLLOW THE ROM TWEAKING GUIDE AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN
GAPPS IS ALSO PRESENT AT ABOVE LINK
It's running very good on my device, only issue caused was "Android.process.media" stopped..it's B'coz of improper cleaning before installing the ROM.
You guys do a clean install and it'll be nice ...the original File is of 245MB and the one which is on my Link is just 190MB
unfortunately no new kernel I tired to flash the new kernel image onto it but the Wifi module is not running so enjoy as it is
Keyboard is present this time unlike the last one...
if you want you can still delete some apps after installing the ROM

OLD CONTENT of thread
20.07 tested the modified ROM its Running very smooth but experience some sluggishness because of that I didn't uploaded it yesterday
(20.07 @ 11:50 IST) NEW ROM TESTED AND ITS RUNNING GREAT
No bugs what so ever
1.REMOVED : ANTI-SPAM, Backup, Backup_restore_confirmation, Browser,Bug_report, Cloud Service, E-MAIL, Exchange, LatinIME (Google keyboard), MiUi_HOME, Theme Manager, Voice_Dialer, Weather, Weather_Provider.
2.ADDED : ActionLuancher Pro(it was there in 19.07 but it is causing much lag so removed it), ADW_Launcher, Google TTS
one important thing is there THIS ROM DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KEYBOARD the reason is that when i try to put them in ZIP and installed it I am getting an error showing "GoogleKeybaord stopped/ Sywpe stopped" instead I've given two separate .apk of Google_Keyboard(Gesture) and Swype(modified apk)
after installing the ROM, when you boot into it select English then skip the network and location settings (REMOVE SIM CARD TO AVOID MOBILE DATA CONNECTION as it will cost you if you are not subscribed for any data pack), Now goto file manager and install any one keyboard you like.
THE SIZE OF NEW ROM+Gapps is 179MB and the Original size was 201MB
[email protected]:40IST : uploaded the ROM and this is the link PLZ CHK AND GIVE ME (positive ) FEEDBACK
(http://db.tt/bylFaYcO)
"MiUi v5 3.7.19 is now available for download also OTA"
#this ROM is built on 3.7.12
#OTA will only work if you have pure MiUi...that is the one which is at the link which is given at start of the post
#if you are on Modified one that is, the one which I've shared will not cover OTA

I am using this ROM and its very very stable than any other great battery and no boot loops
further more you get realllllly coool looks...
NO WiFi BUG I DID NOTICED IT BUT IT IS BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO MODIFY SOME APPS AND LAUNCHER AND ACCIDENTALLY REMOVED A MAIN COMPONENT AND GOT STUCK WITH WiFi PROBLEM...
AFTER INSTALLING THAT THING M BACK ON STABLE ONE...
IF YOU WANNA TRY MORE MODIFIED VERSION OF THIS ROM, I'LL MAKE IT AVAIL BY THIS WEEKEND
STAY TUNED

I can't find the zip to install additional languages. Has it been abandoned or is the pack already included in the ROM itself?
edit: nevermind, I was searching en.miui instead of miuiandroid.

Actually, on V5 for both DEFY and DEFY+ on MIUI.com you can see this: Author: DreamTeam
On the other hand, for V2 on the DEFY page it says: Author: MIUI
That's what's confusing me... I'll try it anyway, hopefully it's much better than the previous builds (which were all ports afaik...)!

OHK! m also trying to make my port with different launchers and some removal of unnecessary apps WILL POST SOOON :angel:

will your rom work on defy also, when we can expect it? I see that it has a separate miui v5 download link for defy and defy+...

Previous releases were supposed to be private.
3.7.12 is the unofficial public release.
Defy and Defy+ each have their own release, but they should be the same. They probably separated them to prevent people from asking why there's only one release for both phones.
Why are you even asking? Both versions are available, just download yours!

I ask beacuase I would like to test coolshahabaz version without unnecessary apps....

SORRY

sry buddy i've DefyPlus only so i was unable to chk my ROM on it....but i am uploading that now on my dropbox will share the link ASAP.....You can give a try and let me kno about it :angel:

When you upload it I will try it on my defy and let you know how it works.... Tnx!

I tried 3.7.12 from miuiandroid and I get no sound when calling someone. I have to turn hands-free on to hear something.
The ROM is less snappy than mokee but it looks great. The no sound bug I face is quite ugly, though.

[Q] no ROM makes my xperia S works well

Hi everyone, i have a Xperia S from 2 year ago. I have bootloader unlock and i tried a lot of roms. But since a 9 months my xperia S is very lag, and freeze very often. For example if i exit of any app the icons launcher and the app menu are slow to appear. Apps like Instagram get unexpected close if i watch very image. This problems was happend with any rom that i flash. I don't know what happen.
I made a full format, format the intern storage and nothing was better. What do you recommend me? Stop to flash roms and flash the original from Sony with flashtool?
Thanks from read. And apologize for my english, it's not my native language.

Have you tried to change the kernel?, because maybe that's the problem...
I can't help you with that because i've locked bootloader, but you can try stock based roms to try if continues working slow... I've just now using Nature Xperia and works fine.
Greetings

A factory restore would definitely help you identify the issue. If it is software related, you will find out once you flash with the stock firmware. If it is still slow after you do a full stock flash, then it might be hardware related, in which case, it might simply mean that your device has had it and it is time to get a new one! You can't rule out that either...

Try an AOSP based ROM or a ROM with it's own kernel like Carbon ROM. Maybe that will help.

Yes try Android 4.3 from CM10.1 use MAKO version and not the CAF version. This is really decent rom. And make sure you move apps regularly to sd after installation
do not use and clock widgets or live wallpapers. Install ES Task manager and have shortcut in homepage so that you can kill all instantly and freesome space if reqd.

I would recommend a Android 4.4 as they have more support plus what He said about widgets and live wallpapers.

Thanks to all. I gonna try with Carbon ROM.

Several doubts and some help! (newbie)

Hi everyone I'm new in this forum and I don't know anything about this smartphone world but I have some questions about my personal Xperia M. First of all I want to apologize for my bad english coz I hate web-traductors so I don't use them.
A friend told me I should install CM11 (Cyanogenmod If I remind correctly) in my smartphone coz it'd be better, I've tried to find some information in Google in my language coz I barely undertand the english technicisms for smartphones but I didn't fund anything so I decided to post in this forum.
I heard tha there is no official version for my smartphone and If I install an unofficial version this can broke my smartphone, is that true? Do you guys think that the CM11 is advisable for my Xperia? I want to know if It'll improve the performance.
How should I start If I want to install CM11 in my Xperia M? I'll let you some information:
Xperia M Android version 4.3
Xperia M C1905
Never rooted it (I dont how how to do it)

I am also a newbie to Android like you
Do you have a PC with you?
Then why don't you make root access on your phone?
About 75% of my installed apps requires root to get its full potential.
I am on XMD (2004).
otherwise I would help to root your phone.
there maybe many threads for rooting your handset (1905)

CM11 is one of the greatest option for the beginners i have ever seen!!!.Pros Are -
1. Extended Battery Life
2. improved performance
3. KikKat UI
I think you can go for it

& its 'cons' ?
I have heard that many options will not work with CM as it is still on beta stage! is it right?
also if I couldn't lock my boot loader, I will loose my warranty also.

no problem with CM. cuz you can always lock BootLoader via flashtool and there are some minor bugs ( No problems to the user with these bugs)

Anyone could takes the tim and help to root

Hi guys, i know that there is a tuto perhaps to how root the rn8p but it makes me confused, i want to unlock the bootloader and don't know how to do, then i want links of Twrp and how to download regional rom to have back Miui caller and sms apps.
Clear instruction with links will be great and will be so grateful for you i'm on Miui Global 11.0.2 with global variant 128gb.6gb

If you are note sure how to, I wouldn't do it. Many people have bricked their phone trying..

Double post..

I would recommend waiting for the version of MIUI11 with Android 10 to come out since the version that we are currently is a "stable beta" which contains many Bugs (and the well known hard bricks).... If you want to start with the most basic thing is to unlock the bootloader, simply follow the instructions in this post (and backup your data!) :fingers-crossed:
