Rom Zelly Cream 2.5 user report and troubleshooting - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA-Dev,
I read for many months in a variety of forums. Since this is my first post I want to thank all these great people here!
Sadly I'm not able to post a comment in the dev-forum. So I'm using the General in the hope of Gagan see it or a kind person copy it in the main thread. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151648&highlight=best+battery+life+kernel)
You cooked a brilliant Rom,Gagan! I'm overwhelmed! You worry so much about the development. Answer to the questions, concerns and needs of the users. Thanks a lot for this. And these are the reasons I decided to use your Rom now for maybe 3 weeks.
At first the postives:
- it's quite stable and a battery life I never explored before, amazing. best rom I have ever tried!
Problems:
- A hugh problem is that the Walkman stopped and bugged after I updated "musicmall for smart app" in the Playstore. It crashes joining "My music" etc. I really like the new Xperia Player. What I can do?
-- Same time my TuneIn lockscreen control begins to stopp working anymore. That's sad.
- I can switch to 2G by toggling but then my phone receiving strength is gone, I can't use it for calls. How I can use just 2G to save battery; it's a bug? There is or will come a fix?
- Luncher crashs (eg. while using Chrome or my news app)
- Rom lost some smoothness after some weeks.
Suggestions:
- could you incorporate a option (like CM) "save headset sound volume at first plug in"
- Status Bar expanded button is too small for my big hands, could you increase the size?
- contacts with Korean letters sort (currently all names are sorted by "#')
- add CPU profiles manager into this really nice "CPU Control"
- add Profiles (like CM) for Sleep, Home, Work etc
- the new control bar (software buttons) is 50 / 50 good and bad. I hit so often the home button when I write in portrait mode and the software buttons useing space from my screen. But the recent apps and smart app function is really nice! There is a way to have smart apps in a diffrend way? (I know how to add a Toggle for recent apps)
Questions:
- What is "VertifyCertificatesDummyApp Sony Ericsson Media" shows up 4 times in my application's list?
- What is Dolby Mobil?
Phone: Xperia ArcS
Rom: Zelly Cream 2.5
Kernel: Vengeance 1.32
BB: .83
So much things...I;m sorry. I hope you can help! :victory::laugh:
Thanks a lot and have a good time! Keep the good work!
friendly regards, Lemming
Attachments:
1- Available Update invalide Rom-Device combo
2- It's not adding my accounts in here?
3- Why the color is black with a black background in the walkman song name?
4- After the update from "musicmall for smart app" I lost the Walkman SmartApp Icon and got these Icons.

Thanks for your quick answer!
I'll backup and remove "VertifyCertificatesDummyApp Sony Ericsson Media" by Android Tuner or SD Maiden.
Could you be so friendly and copy my #1 post in the main thread from Zelly Cream (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ry+life+kernel) :laugh:

Awesome! Thanks a lot for your kind help. I hope too that gagan will answer. In the beginning of his Rom he was very active. Maybe he is too buzy recently. Anyway, thank you!

- I do not have any issues with that smart app or Walkman at the moment. Wipe the data of those apps only, maybe it will help.
- Err...never used, no comment on that.
- The signal is lost temporarily, it will come back after few seconds, when phone has fully switched over from 3G to 2G.
- Our phones lack RAM and thereby launcher is closed by Android to free up some memory. The launcher has not been given high priority, so it would not be killed so easily. You can edit it yourself via Supercharger (look on forum).
- Get rid of unnecessary apps

Great! Good hints, I will pursue them.
I'll keep try to find solutions for my walkman issue. Recently I tried AC!D Audio Engine but I didnt worked out like expected. Maybe I'll try jader's Xperia Z Walkman Port with working xLoud. But it's to confusing sometimes, not enough details in the explain - what to delete, how to treat files or options. It's using so much time to try all things themselves. But anyway, I'm willing to learn, and I really do since some months here.
I attached a screenshot. Calling is not working (x) after switch to 2G even after 30min. There is anything to do or its a rom bug?
I'll try supercharger! Thanks for this.
I like all my apps....but I tested a lot of things allready. maybe its time for and reflash rom / kernel.....argg enyoing, all apps and settings again.
Thanks for your kind help!

Does it happen only on this ROM or others aswell? If others aswell, then I feel it is either wrong baseband or your operator does not have 2G coverage.

Well I'm using my phone from Germany in Korea include a new korean contract. So it can be possible. I'm on .83 BB, I'll try 77 in next fresh install.
It does makes such a hugh diffrend in battery drain to go from 3g to 2g? I just read a lot that people go to 2g for saving battery.
honestly, I dont know if its happen on other Roms. A xda member recommended Viper Xperia to me, I'll try and check 2g diffrences!
Thanks for helping! :laugh::good:

Well I updated mine successfully in the UK. my first impressions are as follows. First installed without wiping data and the screen awake bug was there. phone would not sleep. always kept awake with screen turned off. reinstalled software with wiping data and although the issue is still there, its not as bad. Battery life has definitely improved. Handset and user experience is a lot smoother. Quite impressed actually. There is a wifi bug. Connection is fine but signal strength is not there so wifi will disconnect every few minutes. was fine before update. Quick launch button is okay. its a hit and miss affair. works 2 out of 3 times. Widgets load a lot faster. No new apps apart from Wisepilot is now called Wisepilot for Xperia. No other noticeable improvements. Will give it a few days to see if there are any more bugs or if anything else has improved. Really annoyed as I don't understand what is keeping the phone awake. I've done everything to sort this out but clearly its a bug that Sony has not been successful in resolving. This eats up irrelevant battery. Although its not as bad as it was on the previous fw I was on. Any help would be greatly appreciated in rectifying this problem. One more thing, camera focus has improved vastly as has face recognition and auto scene recognition. Focusing is a lot quicker and better

Flashed the .45 cz rom yesterday with complete wipe & factory reset. Everything works smoother/faster on this new firmware wrt previous ICS versions. But my biggest concern i.e quicklaunch bug is still there (although it seems improved than before). Bravia engine still doesn't work for me on any ICS rom. Still checking the battery backup on this one. I wonder why many still face these two issues on ICS (and not on any GB roms) .
how to install ?? like with flash tool s ?

you mean Home launcher supports landscape mode?
Anybody got root access to the latest firmware yet?
home launcher was also able to be used in landscape mode since GB. Usually this is only possible when connected to HDMI. But I also recognized that it also works without HDMI connected sometimes. Might be a bug that sometimes it is also possible to use it in landscape without hdmi connected.
At the moment i recognize a shorter battery life yesterday. Today it already seems to get better.

[APP][ICS/JB] Boost My Xperia™ - Tiny yet Powerfull tool

Hello fellas !!
I was searching around and found this really useful tool, developed by gagan.u20
Here's the link to original thread
About the app as said by HIM :
What is Boost My Xperia™?
Boost My Xperia™ is a tiny yet powerful app that boosts your device's performance. Initially, I made this app for my ROM users only and after launching my new updates of rom (also the app is updated to v2.0), I thought to share this app with all of you here on XDA.
Basically its is a kinda of task manager, but actually it does more than a task manager.
This new app comes with a beautiful UI and a handy widget. There are three profiles to boost your device i.e. Gaming, Multitasking and default. Choose between any of these and you are done.
* Gaming mode is suitable for game lovers. It boosts your device and make a more free RAM available to play heavy games. If you like to play HD games in your device then first enable Gaming mode from this app and then start playing your games without lags.
* Multitasking mode manages memory and give an optimum amount of free RAM. This mode is suitable for those who love to try and have installed several apps in their device. This mode lets you to switch between several apps in a quick and more responsive way.
* Default mode reverts back the changes that are made by this app (in case if you want to remove this app).
Also there is a Quick Boost feature available in app which kills some useless background apps and make some more free RAM.
You can boost your device from the home screen by using a beautiful "Boost" widget that comes with this app or you can boost you device from app drawer by launching this app and clicking Quick Boost button.
Caution: Boosting your device may cause some apps to force close unexpectedly. You may see some FCs of apps in Gaming mode (which is normal). So enable Gaming Mode only when you want to play games.
Note: Unlike other task managers that always reside in memory, this app doesn't leave any active service to eat your RAM ( as I already told that this is more than an ordinary task manager). So don't get confuse that this app will take some extra memory, instead, it will boosts some extra free memory.
* This app is compatible with/without a supercharged ROM but if your ROM is supercharged then you will get Super Boost.
Requirement : Rooted Phone
Download : Here
I used it and in a flash, the phone was flying !!
Do Thank HIM..
Attached a Screenshot
Bro, Just add couple of screenshots, then the post wud be great. Great Share btw.

It's a kind of screensaver service I guess
Remember old NOKIA symbian days where we used to get a clock always displayed on the screen for infinite
The feature is a good addon but yes it uses a lot of battery
Thank god we have a option to turn it OFF or ON on our will

Sorry if my statement wasn't 100% clear. What I wanted to say is, that I get this feature with the 4.2.2 update. I'm not sure if this feature was already implemented in the .253 update or the .307 firmware. And I like the preview feature a lot!

For the size of the battery, it seems fine to me. I had a Note and Note 2 before this phone, and they lasted longer but had bigger batteries. I see lots of people thinking they have battery issues, but it's got a 5" screen. LTE is a pig in my experience, so you have to look at things like that.

Yes Samsung Note series does definitely win in terms of battery but in many things they are far behind SONY

[SS/DS] List of bugs present in 4.3 update

Well, we got Android 4.3 in both Xperia M and Xperia M dual, but we also got some bugs in that update, and I want to build a list of these bugs so I can compile a list of possible fixes soon (some of them already have fixes). I have interest only in problem reproducible by all Xperia M/Xperia M dual owners, so, thing like "my battery now is draining faster", "system is slow after the update", will be ignored. So far, searching other threads in XDA and by personal experience with 4.3, I found the following bugs:
Calculator app was replaced by AOSP one, which is ugly since it doesn't fit with the new UI
Themes engine is broken. You can download themes but you can't install them
Cost Saving Options that were present in the stock SMS app from 4.1.2/4.2.2 firmware are gone in 4.3 update
[Xperia M dual only] Mobile data traffic arrows are misplaced, overlapping with the network signal bars (see attachment)
These aren't bugs, but things that may be enhanced:
Although the new camera app is compatible with Social Camera extensions, we don't have the option to search for more addons
Some menus in the settings app still uses the old black style instead of the new white style
Fixed Conversations.apk || StatusBar Network in/out
I am here with fixed cost savings option in Conversations.apk of Google_Android_4.3 for Xperia™ M Single Sim.
Dual Sim version will be up by tonight.
Dual Sim version uploaded.
Check attachment for download.
Also activated the option to send a blank message if needed.
I have changed the in/out arrow from white to blue so that they are visible in dual sim status-bar.
I don't have the 4.3 firmware flashed so can not test this.
Test and report if it works or not.
Guys please test and report if the mods work or not?

I dont get it, why are so many people butt-hurt about the calculator app being changed with the aosp one. Who uses the calculator on their phone anyways. If u do, why would you care what it looks like, functionality is what matters, or am i wrong?

Put the AOSP calculator (which is entirely black) in the new UI (where almost all menus are white) and you'll get something very ugly. I already deodexed the official Sony calculator from Z1c 4.3 FW, but I have to test it. I'll start working with these bugs after I finish the bug fixes I need to do to the root method...
List of bugs noticed on my xperia M running 4.3:
- The home and recent app buttons sometimes just dissapear
- Lag after waking up the phone from stand by/idle/locked screen
- The email app does not load emails everytime - tested on data service and wifi
The camera is a big improvement, the new interface for the contacts app too.

Well 4.3 in my opinion does not have better ui as white ui is nice but not so good
v4.2.2 was far much nice in looks of it
coloring of themes so rough
white line in notification when pull down
dialer also looks bad black and white color like its a black and white phone
also pin lock it was so smooth and nice in v4.2.2 only numbers but now it shows alphabets in it
with numbers

Well, we got Android 4.3 in both Xperia M and Xperia M dual, but we also got some bugs in that update, and I want to build a list of these bugs so I can compile a list of possible fixes soon (some of them already have fixes). I have interest only in problem reproducible by all Xperia M/Xperia M dual owners, so, thing like "my battery now is draining faster", "system is slow after the update", will be ignored. So far, searching other threads in XDA and by personal experience with 4.3, I found the following bugs:
Calculator app was replaced by AOSP one, which is ugly since it doesn't fit with the new UI
Themes engine is broken. You can download themes but you can't install them
Cost Saving Options that were present in the stock SMS app from 4.1.2/4.2.2 firmware are gone in 4.3 update
[Xperia M dual only] Mobile data traffic arrows are misplaced, overlapping with the network signal bars (see attachment)
These aren't bugs, but things that may be enhanced:
Although the new camera app is compatible with Social Camera extensions, we don't have the option to search for more addons
Some menus in the settings app still uses the old black style instead of the new white style

its not working.. then i install xposed module named volume and notification ringer seprate then i able to get the push notifications right
Guys I am back with another fix...
This fix corrects the data in out arrows in Dual 4.3 firmware.
It will also fix few Xperia themes errors.
Goto /system/vender/overlay/
Select and delete each and every apk there.
Restart your mobile and enjoy the fix.
Note: Deleting com.android.systemui-res.apk will do the job but I recommend to delete all the apps so that xperia themes work well.

I am here with fixed cost savings option in Conversations.apk of Google_Android_4.3 for Xperia™ M Single Sim.
Dual Sim version will be up by tonight.
Dual Sim version uploaded.
Check attachment for download.
Also activated the option to send a blank message if needed.
I have changed the in/out arrow from white to blue so that they are visible in dual sim status-bar.
I don't have the 4.3 firmware flashed so can not test this.
Test and report if it works or not.

Check second post.
The apks I have attached also need only root.
Just push them to system/app and overwrite the original apk and set correct permissions as rw_-r__-r__
Restart your device and the work is done.

I faced two more bugs that are unacceptable. In roaming no info about roaming that was shown by R in 4.2.2.
also if I mistakenly press that option to download internet settings in settings and then if I decline it then it keeps showing downloading internet settings in notification area.
i found 1 issue when close app from side tab. black line always appear in my Xperia M single sim. i faced this bug when swipe app from bottom to top. if i close from top to bottom didnt happen. sorry for bad english.

If someone calls you and you immediately decline the call, the green LED status on for ever. Even if you disable it from the settings.

Font
Hi,
please, can you give me some patch for fix font?
I use accents, like "á" or "č" or something else, but if I see the word with accents I have a lot of space between letters.
For example:
na č ten í zpr á vy. (this is in czech language).
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

When you disable upgrade in the miui market is expected to slow wifi only at the first connection. As if it is not disabled updates the reference files, for THEMES. (After you have indeed app theme in Chinese)
Of course this just said, updating of V5 (so far I have not seen any updates to V6) - but this should be done only at the first connection. EDIT MAY 28,2015 : I checked: same result for V6
For what concerns my experience at this stage it is not the wifi to slow down, but the SYSTEM and only device underperforming.
In fact in all my release other device underperforming, I practice this your procedure.
This morning when I answered the post above, I loaded rom on Z1C, and made restore WIFI. Soon after downloading the game. But no slowdown.

I noticed this anomaly, because it's not just in your own language., but also in my language. I think it's a common problem for many languages. but not a lot of space between the letters. say a letter .
Not a keyboard error but certainly the system, also in the settings menu this problem exists writing abnormal.
I do not have a fix in the hat, I try in future to solve.
EDIT
OK NOW OVER TEST ON MY Z1C.
made a change in this file .....already put in rom pak
For my language it works perfectly !!!
extract the file
with root explorer or another .... copy in system / etc
give permission 0644 - rw - r - r -
reboot
I think I was fast .... I looked better in the hat
Wrong question
Miui v5 for Z1C link request
Unfortunately the provided links in this thread don't work anymore. Does anyone have the ROM and can share it or maybe provide a working link? Thank you.

Thanks for the answer...
whether adblock is already mounted in the package rom v5 and v6 ?
because some of free applications I have installed not found an ad
whether it can be deactivated?
I do not know this is related or not because I was not able to open multiple sites like adfly
sorry for google translate
Thank You

Hello and I installed this ROM on my Z1C and given me several FC
1 Xposed not activated[emoji53]
2, the camera in slow etching does not work (recorded but not slow)
3 there is app that do not work (compass, gallery, wallet, and gallery to enlarge images) ..
3 lucky patch does not accept me, is closed ..[emoji15]
it's my first miui ROM to install and I liked.[emoji4]
**but not because it gives me so much fc
Thanks
I love this ROM. Miui based on stock is very stable and performed (on 5.6.5, locked bootloader, nova launcher and xposed installed). For me, no bugs, the same battery like stock rom, 100% design. Same a new life for our Z1C.
Thanks a lot !

If yours is a question, I do not know help.
But to instinct. I think your terminal does not have root.
Just because these are your problems unknown to me.
I do assume that your terminal is unlocked,
since you do not have a statement .... and surely you've read my first post ...... carefully and surely you've read my posts to give permissions to apps
Cemera, gallery, Xposed (I would not put in the rom) etc .. work perfectly!
On lucky app, does not concern the development for this rom. Conversely I could install in rom, Miui apks with crack and other .... but this is beyond the scope of my publication ...

Hi Oregon,
a really great Rom ! I love it ! It is working very, very well.
But I can confirm, that the built-in barcode-scanner isn't working on my device.
Regards
Error1
First a big thank you to the developer, this rom is awesome!
Only one thing that is strange, I did an update to this latest version 5.6.19 and now the keyboard is a bit laggy, especially when I click on the symbol key (the 12!? Key) it takes about a second to switch, and the same amount of time to switch back to letters only.
Anyone else noticed this?
But like I mentioned, I did an upgrade to this latest update, not a complete wipe, I will try a complete wipe when I have a minute.
Again, a great rom, highly recommend! Hope it gets further support!
Oregon69, do you maybe have a bitcoin address, I would love to donate a few bits
