A new version is now out, and it contains some major improvements in terms of performances and speed. It has Las_Venturas 1.0RC3+ kernel packed (thanks @jordfaz), the new camera fix (thanks @stritfajt), the scripts are now up and running (thanks @riemer for the tip), fixed app2sd and cache2cache script, Habarug's modded Phone.apk (disabled the red hang up button), a new Evervolv Toolbox + a superb boot animation (probably the best boot animation I've saw from 2009 till now). It also includes a nice script called 13cpuspeed from where you can set your own values and governor. You can see the values changed in evervolv toolbox under performance tab.
Right now when you flash the zip, the cpu speed is OC'd at: 264-652 smartass V2. I suggest you increase the min value to 352mhz. I've done this to avoid flashing a 'safe' kernel on top of the rom for those heroes that cannot support higher cpu speeds and also it's a safe way to change your values from within the script, no need for 3rd party app.
Why it is improved? Because in v2 and lower, the scripts were lying in init.d but they did not activate on boot thus making them basically useless.
But there is one more script left in init.d that it's not working. This is the *****! '02ramconfig'. This basically sets the internal task killer to higher values giving our hero a little boost in speed. I have tried many ways to force it to start. IT seems that when the boot animation is on, the values are set according to the script, after that, the values turn to normal.
We will investigate this further as we move our focus towards 4.0.5 when the sources are out. But at the time being I will show you other ways to activate the script, so don't delete it:
Keep in mind that you need to do it on every boot. Just choose a way that suits you best and do it every time you reboot your phone.
1. install AMM - auto memory management - from the market, and set it at mild or agressive.
2. If you have android sdk installed on your computer, just make this:
enter cmd and navigate to your android-sdk\platform-tools
Connect your device (make sure you have usb debugging enabled from settings).
Type adb shell and now you should type this command:
Code:
echo 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
after this, to see if the values are set, you can try this:
Code:
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and if it looks like this; 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 you are ready to go.
3. If you have 'Root Explorer.apk' you can press on any of the script from init.d (minfree, cpuspeed) and select run as Linux Script Handler -> Execute.
And the values should fire up. Note: for cpu speeds, do this after you've changed your cpu settings using a text viewer (explorer works also).
I suggest you all guys flash this latest version because includes almost all major fixes and the call drop should be fixed in this. Also, you can install apex launcher for a better performance, you will never regret it. You can enable some cool features that LV Kernel comes packed with (zRam or Kernel samepage merging briefly known as ksm). I suggest play with ksm and see how it goes.
Another nice tweak you can make to increase performance is to limit the processes to only "4" from settings-developer options-background process limit. You can play with this value as well but I suggest leaving it at 4 if you want to be enabled.

- screen turns black for a couple of seconds when using the gyroscope.
Keep in mind that this is in the early stage of development so not everything will be completely stable or working perfectly.
You flash this ROM at your own risk! Be sure to make a nand backup and do a full wipe before flashing.

Video preview of the ROM: (Thanks to gkillerx)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8zvkA8SQzs
* Recommended Flashing Instructions * *YOU CAN USE CWM OR AMON_RA***
1 - full wipe: data + cache + dalvik cache
2 - flash lights format all
3 - flash the ROM zip
4 - flash the kernel from above if youre phone does not support cpu settings of 652Mhz
5 - reboot: the first boot will take awhile
6 - ensure everything is loaded and settled by letting the screen timeout and waiting a minute or so before waking it up and proceeding
7 - go through the google setup wizard and then wait another couple mintes to allow the rest of the ROM to load up and any google data to sync
8 - reboot and allow things to load up again
9 - everything should now be ready to go
* Tips *
Enable "Force GPU Rendering" in "Settings - Developer Options" (it helps flinger to be more smooth).
Disable "Report usage and errors" in "Apex Settings - Advanced settings".
Use setcpu.apk or similar overclock app
Use autokiller.apk or similar taskkiller app
In settings->developer options: make sure window & transition animations are off
In settings->language & input->android keyboard: turn off popup/vibrate on keypress
Can open a running apps list by long-pressing the home button & swipe(or long-press) to clear (useful if an app won't open or system slows down to clear out some memory)
Disabling an app is very easy in ICS: either through the manage app screen or by dragging a particular app from the drawer to the "app info" section displayed at the top of the screen, you'll find a button to disable that app
Performance-wise it could be worthwhile to play around with the "background process limit" and "don't keep activities" options in settings->developer options
The ICS launcher makes it simple to create & use folders: just drag one icon on top of another, let go, and they will now be in a folder together which you can name whatever you like.
Apex settings - drawer settings - Disable Show Widgets tab (it helps on app drawer faster open/close).

Nandroiding now Will test for a few hours before I go out
Edit: Slow download or is it just my comp?
@samm000: thank you for your work, can't wait to flash this rom, gotta see the camera working
@Habarug : yeah sloow download speed, it will take 1 hour to download the rom but I am patient
Edit: I flashed it after a full wipe, but not even after waiting 30 minutes it never passed beyond the splash screen (HERO screen), so it was in a bootloop.. gonna try to download the rom again when i get home from work.
Okay, I finally got it working here. Keyboard and pulldown and such is really smooth! but lots of apps, like search, browser, email, voice search etc is FCing all the time :/ Even Launcher is, so I can't use it ....
Edit: trying to reflash
Edit2: ....this is so awesome
Edit3: I'll try this today There are some resize issues, like the statusbar widgets being really high, I can try to fix it when I have time

I use my ROM for A several days now and I can say that the rom is very fast
there is no need to install other launchers.
if you like you can allways install other launchers.
Thank you so much for this ROM!
After having it installed and used it only briefly I must say it works pretty smooth. It's not slow at all! Feels great that our old HTC is still in the game!
I can confirm that its fast and stable

Is this rom ported from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352170 this?
In aplha 1.0 yes, I had a lot of problems making it work right because the port didnt work well.
The other builds are made by me.

flashing "OpenGL_2.0_by_harut56.zip" will turn the rom's "ro.opengles.version=131072" into "ro.opengles.version=65537" ... isn't that going to revert OpenGL from 2.0 to 1.1 or am I wrong and confused?

I proudly present to you...... Mi-Roid
Mi-Roid is my port of the crespo MIUIAndroid weekly build with many additions, tweaks and mods added together for a great user experience. If there’s something you'd like added in feel free to post or pm me
For those of you wondering what Miui is.... that is a hard thing to describe but in a genreality it is a complete rebuild of android based on AOSP from the ground up. It has a build in theme manager that makes Cyanogen's look like childs play, you can change almost any little thing instead of applying an entire theme or you can apply an entire theme. It has build in virus scanning, autostart app control, flashlight app and all the goodies of cyanogen or other AOSP roms but in a whole new fashion. It is sort of IPhoneish but still feels like android not some apple product. If you dislike the launcher feel free to download any of your standard favourite launchers and use them, it'll free up some memory too.
Check out this video showing what Miui is
A few of my favorite features are listed below:
**While on the lockscreen if you press and hold home the flashlight will turn on for 30sec
**While on the homescren if you long press home the memory manager comes up to clear/free up memory
I plan on updating by Sunday night or Monday morning following the friday release of each weeks build. This will give me a few days to make sure the basics are working and to try and add features as i work a lot during the week and weekend gotta survive this cruel world somehow
If you have issues or questions please post them up here as someone may be able to help you on the forum before i check my PM's or get online to read/post.
Please Read the rest of this post and the ones below it for all info regarding issues and install before asking a question, i know it's pointless to ask this but maybe it'll save me one headache and at least one noob a thrasing from the senior members.

Previous Builds - will be posted soon
Install and Setup Directions Below in 2nd Post
Common Issues, Solutions and FAQ in 3rd Post
I advise doing a complete wipe for each build and not "dirty" flashing each weeks new build as this could cause issues.
If you are already running Miui you can also use the included backup tool to backup your apps and data, beware that this app does not backup paid for apps, so for example it will backup Titanium Backup but not the Pro Key so you'll have to download some apps via the market again
**Install Instructions***
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data
2) Download the latest Mi-Roid version and place at the "Root" of your SD Card
3) Boot into Clockwork or whatever recovery you use and make a backup
4) Do a complete wipe, this would be your dalvik cache, cache, data, system, & boot.
5) Select the Install zip from SD option
6) Select the latest Mi-Roid version you just downloaded
6a) ***Optional*** Install Kernel Of Choice
7) Once install is completed reboot the system and let it boot up
8) After the system has booted up you can reboot into Clockwork and restore your data
***** BEWARE THERE IS A 30 SECOND TO 1 MINUTE LONG BLACK SCREEN BEFORE THE MIUI.US BOOT IMAGE COMES ON. THIS IS NORMAL, JUST WAIT A MINUTE AND YOU'RE BOOT UP WILL START****
***Things to do Upon 1st boot***
-Open MiuiStats from the pulldown and save the preferance to enable reporting, this lets Miui know we're using their ROM and to keep making it for us
-Open the Download Manager and go into the Settings and set the warning limit to 50mb and then turn off the Data download prompt to stop the market not letting you download huge apps. it will only give you a warning to use wifi on files over 50MB, but if uncheck the download on wifi only button and click proceed it'll download even those.
-Open the Play Store and sign into your Google Account
-While everything is Syncing open up Settings and select your google account. Select the option "Location &Settings" and turn it on. This will allow Google Maps and all other Google Services to use GPS for location locks, if you don't do this then GPS will work for all other apps but Google ones
-Open the Permission Manager, this is Superuser for Miui, and click on Manager root apps and turn it on or else your apps won't get superuser permissions. there is a series of 4 or 5 questions it asks before you click accept to root access on apps, so beware.
-Download the following apps
- Voodoo Sound
- Script Manager - this is for supercharging
-Open the Camera as the 1st start up takes a few seconds to a minute to initialize and sometimes it will fc and you'll need to open it again and wait
-Reboot into Clockwork, fix permissions, and Enjoy MI-Roid
****Optional**** Open Script Manager and supercharge your phone - see the FAQ for some important info on supercharging do's and don'ts
-Reboot and Enjoy MI-Roid
I'll post more as i think about it and get to the FAQS section below later tonight and i have screen shots too, just very tired from porting the toolbox and work this weekend
*****FAQS******
Q) What Kernel Is Included with this Rom?
A) Matrix CFS v24
Q) Do I need to flash gapps over this?
A) Nope, the google account framework is included as well as the latest PlayStore.apk, just download whatever apps you want from the Play Store. However here is a link the latest GAPPS working on Miui
Q) When I Send A Text Over 160 characters the reciepient gets a garbled message
A) This won't happen anymore because i modified the app to convert a sms to an MMS as soon as you hit the 160 character limit
Q) How Do I Supercharge My Phone
A) Go here to and download the latest version from zeppelinrox's thread, be sure to thank him too. Once you have downloaded the latest v6 script place it at the "Root" of your SD card. Open up script manager, be sure to give it root access. Select the v6 supercharger scipt and mark the little su icon to run it as su. Click on run, and follow the on screen instructions.
*****This is very important, when setting up your drivers options, do not, i repeat DO NOT select to apply the "Miscellaneous Tweaks & 3G Enhancements", a better version of these are in my init.d scripts!!!!! You also don't need to apply the wheel alignment either as that is another script already provided****
Q) I see lots of apps running when i first start my phone and don't want some of them running
A) Go into the Security Center folder and open the App Manager app, you can use it to select what apps and their services start and run in the background at boot
Q) The stock lockscreen is laggy
A) Yes it is, this is widely known in the Miui community, but it has a plethora of options built into it. If you want a faster one download any v4 theme and go into the theme manager under the mix section and apply it. The same goes for just about any thing or apperance you don't like about stock Miui, you can apply whole themes or just select parts
Nice work. gonna have to try this

Do you need Miui gapps from the site or any gapps will do?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
you don't need gapps, the google framework for google accounts and playstore are included, any other gapps can be downloaded from the market. do not flash gapps from CM or other AOSP roms as you'll get a few apps that shouldn't be there
if for some reason someone needs a certain gapp let me know, but this is the NS4G a CDMA phone only available in the US so we shouldn't have any restrictions on apps
Great work. Thanks for the port.. I've been waiting to try out a JB build of MIUI. You just made my weekend.

No problem, the JB version of Miui is quite nice. if you are going to flash a custom kernel i had the least amount of issues with Mathkids Matrix v23, it has voodoo sound and blinking BLN built in. I just updated my FAQ post but i have had severe issues with several of the other kernels in terms of bluetooth and battery drain so beware

Can anyone post some screenshots?
Not bad! Going to give a run through.. Seems fine so far.
Screenshots attached as requested. This is right after first boot.
This looks AWESOME! I went back to stock jellybean, but I'm going to root and install this later! How does battery life seem so far? Yeah, yeah, I know, give it a couple of days for the kernel to settle, but still... xD
Can anyone trying this confirm if 4g works?

sick. thanks for the confirmation.. on rasbean now but may have to give this a go....i miss miui and the ics version was crap, but the gb version didnt have 4g.
It's a little "heavy" feeling but MIUI isn't exactly a lightweight ROM so I expected that.. I had tried the ICS version and it was unbearable slow.. So far this is pretty damn good all things considering (feature filled custom JB ROM on 2 year old phone)
Nice ROM at lease jellybean miui is fast & smooth when compared to miui ICS which was way to laggy but miui is not my cup of tea I'm rocking Rasbean

Fixing permissions will make sure there isn't any unwanted FCing.
Charge your Battery to a 100%:
-> WIPE BATTERY STATS
-> REMOVE Charger
-> Use for complete cycle (to nearly 10%)
-> Do not reboot anywhere in between
-> CHARGE to 100% (and give additional 1 hour after that)
-> Enjoy COMPLETE BATTERY CYCLE
This ensures that when your battery shows 5% remaining, it actually is 5% instead of really being 15%. That's why battery calibration is important. It doesn't improve battery life, but gives you your COMPLETE Battery life.

**DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER**
Your phone sips the least amount of power when it is in DEEP SLEEP STATE. There is a new app in the marketplace which can FORCE DEEP SLEEP STATE on your phone. This is especially useful if you want the phone to conserve battery for hours and then wake up for a minute and sync all new alerts in one go. This can help prolong your usage on a single charge.
DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER on Play Store
This app is under development and can be found on XDA developers forums itself. Here's the link to the thread:
[APP] [2.1+] Deep Sleep Battery Saver
**BATTERY CALIBRATION**
FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1.After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
BATTERY CALIBRATOR on Play Store - 47 KB size
2.Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
4. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
5. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
6. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
7. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.

great work! can't wait to flash it
many thanks!!
Really late night here. Will be uploaded and released tomorrow
Since this is CM10 based this might be a stupid question but does this require an unlocked bootloader? You didn't mention anything about a new kernel so I thought maybe you might not.

For sure it has a step to flash boot.img -> This requires unlock bootloader.

Something Wrong...
Hello
I tried to do like the post, but at the first step, flash boot.img from zip with flashtool, my Ion boot with FreeXperia and then, nothing, just a black light screen...
So i flashed with my Stock_Kernel_6.1.E.3.7_Root.elf, and my phone is back but i don't want to make a mistake.
How can i get the CWM mode, because with the new boot.img, it doesn't work (for me).
Thanks for answers
May I present to you another rom, Aoba_Pro_Honami. This is a port from Xperia S latest JB, 6.2.B.1.96. The base is my own deodexed and debloated Roger. I have done this port myself. You know what they say: it is easier to make things from scratch, as opposed to look for and fix mistakes by others.
This rom is specifically made for LT28i phones. Hence, you have an option for LTE in your mobile data settings. Both wifi and data work flawlessly on my locked LT28at. This rom has Honami framework including home, sounds and widgets. Dock has 2 additional icons.
This rom preserves most original apps. I only removed GoogleServicesFramework, GoogleFeedback, IddAgent and Facebook (see below)....
Description:
Own port of 6.2.B.1.96
Deodexed and prerooted
Data and Wifi work as they are supposed to: connections are fast and only limited by your hardware
Honami Framework and Home with Transparent Dock and 2 extra spaces in it
No black text on black background or white text on white background
Plenty of ram available: 300-350mb
Google Framework, GoogleFeedback, Iddagent and Facebook apps removed (see posts 9 and 10 in this thread for GAPPS)
APN file has many prepackaged apn configurations, thanks to Cyanogen guys
Credits:
I have done a lot of experimenting and tuning. So, it is difficult to say which honami framework I used. I believe I used the one by Niaboc79, so credit goes to him. To be on the safe side, I also give credit to Jjwrongjj and Benjamin24. Also credit goes to Hitfan for honami home with 2 extra spaces in dock. Please pm me if I forgot you.
Bugs: No fancy/schmancy claims of thunder, stability, vengeance, rapture and smoothness, while you can't boot the device, but everything works fine on my phone. I have tried my best, but there could be bugs: you tell me.
Instructions:
You must be rooted, have CWM Recovery and stock JB kernel on your device.
1. Enter recovery
2. Go to Mounts, mount System, Cache and Data
3. Format each. You may also do data wipe reset, but the above is much better to get rid of old staff.
4. Flash this rom.
5. You need Roger basebands to use LTE and other frequencies to the full extent. Remember, if you were on JB for LT28h, you must flash Roger baseband.
6. Let the rom settle, it will take up to 5-6 minutes for full boot the first time.
7. After running Setup wizard and connecting to data and wifi, go to Settings/Wifi/Advanced and make sure that the option Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to Always, otherwise, every time your screen goes off, wifi will disconnect. This is important for those using Sip Services. Also, to assure that your phone switches immediately from Wifi to Data, make sure that Avoid Poor Connections option is checked too. If you don't, your phone will stick to wifi even if there is very little signal, therefore, preventing switching to data.
WARNING: If you were on ICS, you will get a bootloop unless you upgrade to JB kernel and Roger basebands (untick everything but kernel and exclude everything but roger baseband) before or right after flashing and before rebooting.
As usual, I am not responsible for bricking your device. You are doing it at your own peril.

how is battery

There are no "tweaks" that claim thunder and battery savings in this rom. There are no tweaks here that bring apps into ram by those who have very little knowledge of how Android shuts down apps that claim ram. So all those tweaks do is bring the app into ram, then the system shuts them down, then the script brings the app in again and gets shut down over and over again to result in stress on cpu and battery. This rom has all apps except facebook and google framework, which are responsible for draining your battery. In the version I use on my phone, I removed all Google apps, social apps, proxies, conversation, stock e-mail, browsers, anthall radios, various adapters, update, ota and other garbage... . I use Naked browser, textsecure, K9 mail and Adaway. I also use Xposed framework with Xprivacy. As a result, I have over 24hrs on a single charge with regular usage...
Downloading and will test extensively thanks and your logic on ram and "tweaks" makes complete sense btw
Great work friend..another rom and another joy for ion..

Sorry to hear that. Here is the original GoogleServices framework. Put it into your system/apps directory, adjust permissions and reboot. There are also Googleapps on this forum that work without Google Services framework....

There are also 2 more original apps that may relate to Googleaps f/c. Googlefeedback and Iddagent. They also must be installed to system/apps with appropriate permissions.
Another option is to use GAPPS from custom roms like the ones from here:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
To sum up: either install the missing apps I provided in this and the previous post or get GAPPS for custom roms. In the latter case, you will have to first uninstall original GAPPS and then install new ones.
Vertical Battery Icon and Quick Settings
For those who would like to have Toggles and Quick Settings show up in display settings you can do this:
1. Get this modified Settings apk (modified by me); and
2. Download and flash in recovery Quick Settings by Jjwrongjj
Manually install Settings.apk with root explorer to system/apps with appropriate permissions and then flash Quick Settings in recovery. Wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Can anyone confirm if they are able to use GAPPS in this version?
So does this not need the 96 kernel like some of the other ports? Don't guess it would hurt to try.

Actually there is a 96 kernel for the S and some of the Ion ports such as Existenz says to use it. Was just curies as I have Aoba black booted at the moment. Decided to go with it seeing as it was newer and seemed to be the better option for me. I must say it does run quite nice.

Still, there is no .96 kernel for Ion.This misunderstanding is fault of posters who do not change their ported roms installation manuals or description.
Also, you should probably try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485148, it is newer version of this ROM and has more fixes/optimizations.

DECEMBER 19: HONAMI CAMERA UPDATE. HONAMI CAMERA ! Nozomi Pure Black Ultimate Privacy UB/LB
December 19. Honami Camera Update+.
From now on, you will have 2 options: 1. Start camera with hardware key and you will have Superior Auto working; 2. Start camera with camera icon and you will have Manual mode with all settings available. All other updates are in. If you are coming from my earlier version, just flash this on top without wiping. If anew, mount System/Cache/Data and format each.
Download Link:
http://d-h.st/T9H
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Update: Added CPU Control and SMS Counter in Settings. See post #179 for attachment and picture. Just flash in CWM and reboot
___________________________________________________________________________________________
After battling with the Hell of smalis for 2 days and changing icons, finally success! Oprah helped me because she'd heard so many complaints from you.
Here is confirmed working zip (black panel/white icons) to flash in CWM. Don't wipe anything, but dalvik cache.
http://d-h.st/vyH
_________________________________________________________________________________
See post #170 for Finale. I have changed icons in framework-res.apk. This is highly experimental, but no risk to user as they can always return to the previous version via CWM
_________________________________________________________________________________
See post #167 for another attempt to fix smalis at black volume panel
__________________________________________________________________________________________
And here is the final try3 for black volume control. If it doesn't work, just flash the previous one in CWM.
Download Link:
http://d-h.st/7Pk
___________________________________________________________________________________
Here is black volume control try 2. Back up your rom and flash the zip in CWM. Do not wipe anything but dalvik cache.
Keep in mind that I do not own Xperia S, so I can't check the mode myself. It should work, but if it doesn't, just use JJwrongJJ's ZU framework V4 for XS. You'll just have to live with white panel. And if you don't like it, complain to Oprah...

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
WIFI update posted.
As we know out device supports wifi dual frequency bands. However, this option is not enabled out of the box. Here is the fix. Just flash it in CWM without data/factory reset. From now on, you will have an option for wifi frequency bands in settings/wifi/advanced. Enjoy and don't forget that Thank You button.

November 5: Honami Camera is here. No other changes.
Camera: Superior Auto doesn't work, photo image stabilization doesn't work, 2mp resolution doesn't work. The rest is working.
I
Credit to Niabok79 and myself, since our versions are slightly different in that in his when you touch Superior Auto and the camera f/c, you need to do re-initialization described below in steps 1-4 to have it work again. In this rom, when camera f/c, all you need to do is restart the camera by pressing camera button. But again, credit for most work goes to Niabok79 and we have shared our files.
Keep in mind that the original camera is separate and works 100%.
Instructions for initial start:
1. Put camera widgets on your home screen
2. Press the dianosaur button
3. Press the dinosaur button again in the bottom left
4. Choose Manual mode.
Don't touch SA, photo stabilization or 2mp -- otherwise you will get a f/c. If that happens, just exit and restart camera as usual (press camera button)
Download link for this rom with honami camera:
http://d-h.st/Obn
_________________________________________________________________________
November 4: ROM UPDATED
Fixed META-INF script
Fixed Keyboard F/C
Added File Manager
Although, I always prefer clean installation, if you are coming from my original release, it should be OK to just flash the update in CWM.
If you are coming from a different rom, you need to go to Mounts and Storage, Mount System, Cache, Data and format each
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Unzip the attachment, which contains 2 files. Unzip the rom, go to META-INF/com/google/android/ and overwrite the 2 files there with the attached ones. Then rezip the rom and flash again.

Also note that Android System is at the bottom draining only about 6%. That is because this rom doesn't have scripts that fight the system (meaning, the script brings the app into ram, then system shuts it down and on and on) all the time, which results in stress on CPU and battery waste...

This camera has video rec upto 1080. There is also burst mode, different focusing options and plenty of effects. Most importantly, it takes half a second for the cam to be ready (unlike stock). Unfortunately, screen shot is impossible when the camera is on. Also, unlike stock, this camera stays even if you flash honami camera on top.
