Hello
Today i installed CM10 ROM on my xperia S, + NOVA kernel. I installed gapps and everything is working fine i have only 2 problems, one of them is that when im in camera app and i want to use photo sphere, my camera app crashes(i have question here, i see camera app named cyber-shot in some videos; why is that??)
second problem is the keyboard i just cant find the option to turn the swype on, i searched the internet and flashed JB 4.2 keyboard but it isnt shown anywhere.
and just few noob questions:
is there anyway to get the stock walkman widget working?? beacuse i dont really like this apollo music player (i got the application WALKMAN tho, but i would really like to get the widget)
is possible to get small apps working on CM10?? (probably not i guess)
is possible to get the some stock wigets i had on stock SONY UI.
the thing is that i really like sony UI, but google's stock UI just feels so much smoother and snappier witch i preffer over the choppy sony UI.

Why not? Is because of copyright or other technical problems?
I love CM10 but I hate it doesn't have t9 keyboard, the camera miss lot of options, also the video recording is not smooth, 720p resolution is gone, 3d panorama or panorama is not there also least can we take that feature out of it? Also, the CM10 address book is a nightmare, I can't select several contacts and send an sms, or easy edit a contact, this are primary aspects of the phone usage that really makes CM10 a mess, The music player Apollo also is not that great since it don't save the album images, making it show empty photo library almost everytime...
Shouldn't custom Rom make a better Android experience?

Nice list of complaints o.o
And "better android experience" is subjective
If you hate CM, change Roms? It's not that hard

Hi, just flashed yesterday the version 4.1.2 and my gallery now is small ( in folders view ) and is a little slow compared to 4.1.1
Anyone have this problem?
I found the gallery in the stock ROMs a bit slow to start off with, you might want to consider an alternative, like QuickPic (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en). Very fast and responsive, precaching and all the rest.
Heeerrow,
First of all, the interface of the "default" JB camera on JB roms, is ugly, plus, it lacks of a looot of options.
So, let's make it clear, anyone knows any working camera mod to at least change the interface or something? thankyou.
Theres no camera mod for jb atm, but you can allways use 3rd party aps

Hopefully Rizal Lovins can do some of his magic in the future and port his Cyber-Shot Mod in CM10 Roms, it's the only thing I am missing from Stock Roms.
If you don't like the UI of JB Camera app you can indeed try other camera applications, there are many in Google Play.
A few of the best:
- Camera ZOOM FX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
- Vignette https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.neilandtheresa.NewVignette
- ProCapture https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture
- Camera FV-5 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro

Hey Guy
My xperia Ion was very smooth with ICS few days ago, but when i upgrade it to JB (i have been waiting it for a long time), it's getting lagger and lagger like below:
- APP DRAW : very lag, not smooth like ISC FW, what is the thing in JB called "Project butter"? I heard that it make android smooth as much as IOS. But i dont see this on JB Xperia ION, this is so disappointing.
- FACEBOOK, CHROME ... APP: disappointing again. They're so lag that i have to uninstall them immediately.
- WALKMAN: What happen with my favorite music player, the quanlity of music is getting so bad.
- CAMERA: capture movie add the highest resolution (Full HD) is getting lag, it dont happen in ICS FM
Please give me some solution to bring back the smooth i have had on ISC FW to the new JB FW on my ION
Thank a lot guy

The Project Button was a project to try to bring smoothness to the whole UI. It doesn't promise a lag-free experience. Did you made a clean or dirty install? Facebook app has been getting faster and faster with each update. Chrome is really slow because it was built based on PC's version, not a Android app. Also, you have a 2010 processor in your phone. It isn't one of the best. Walkman in JB is 10x better, sound quality wise, for me... Camera problem is because Sony implemented some new drivers that aren't really compatible with our processor, so it lags a bit...
Android JB in Xperia Ion is Awesome
I flashed Android JB in My Xperia Ion few days ago. It's really cool update. I installed PowerAmp for Music and it's the Best. Walkman is also good. But can't compare with PowerAmp. I haven't face any issue with Camera. Apps are working very fine (No crashing so far.) I tested Asphalt 7 Heat and It's Great. (No Lagging/No Crash).
Pros:
+ Better User Experience :highfive:
+ No compatibility issues (Perhaps I installed all apps which I had in ICS.)
+ SenseMe Slideshow in Albums app (I like it very much. :victory: )
+ Improved Notifications Bar
+ Customizable Wall/Screens (Can add/delete any no of walls which is not possible in ICS)
+ Familiar widgets
Cons:
- Booting time is more when compare with ICS. (It's not a Big Deal. I don't restart my phone every day. Who does?! :angel: )
- Can't Root the OS. (ICS was Rootable easily. Waiting for Firmwares from XdaDevelopers. )
- Can't uninstall/remove apps from Menu itself. (ICS has Blocks icon on top right which enables to delete user installed apps.) It's not a Big deal, I can uninstall via Settings -> Apps.
- Not able to find Direct call Contacts Widget.
I suggest to Flash Android JB on your Ion. :highfive:
Well, it can be done [root]

Jellybean is easily rootable via doomlords rootkit.
Tho i dont find the jellybean update all that great. Back on ICS for me...its better. Sony just cant get video recording right can they?!
Am sorry if this appears to be a noob, or even silly, question.
I have been trying some custom ROMs (all based on 4.2), and somehow, the camera app isnt working perfectly/smoothly on the ROMs with which I am otherwise completely happy with.
So, I was just wondering if its possible to to have an installable camera app from the stock ICS ROM??

What you mean "perfectly/smoothly"?
Have you tried camera ics from play store?

Camera app FCs once every 10-12 times I open the app. When "working", only the still camera and video recorder modes work. Selecting he Panorama mode or the other mode (sorry I know/cant remember the name) FCs the app and gives me a "Gallery FC" error message.
If you're using ROM with LiteKernel, the problem of FC-ing when open camera app is inside the kernel, not app. Especially if your whole phone sometimes becomes laggy and crashes when you open camera app.
I'm using Camera FV-5 (it's great), so, can't help with your question, but try stock kernel at first: link and see if the issue persists.
The latest google camera from play store isn't supported, so stick to default CM one or some other alternative.
