Thanks for your contribution .

Can work on LT28h 6.1.E.2.68 Firmware ?

Can u make it for XS?

Boot into recovery is not working.
It works from status bar option.

As mention, LT28i_6.1.E.2.68 only.
Noticed recovery is not fully working - will look into this when I had time. This weekend I have limitted access to computer.

Small Apps enabled?
Hit THANKS if my post helps you!

I dont use small app, however i heard small apps doesn't touch framework, so I guess that's a yes.
About the reboot recovery - after talking with a few members - I think it related to busybox not able to recognize or running the code. Unless we have an updated CWM with latest working busybox, I don't think this function is working. There is away to fix it - rewrite the code, in which out of my capability.
Temp fix for getting to recovery is using the new tab (20 toggles) or my new up date with recovery reboot.

How did you get "LTE" instead of "4G" for this ROM?

The SystemUI I used had the icons - when I have a little more time i'll port the tabs notification.

No if you want to have the new layout (20 toggle tabs) then you have to wait until I have time to do that - otherwise you can look for my other thread Toggle Mod lastest update. Or you can download AOSP style like this here:
Download: View attachment SystemUI_Aosp.apk
Rename the file and push to your system with permission rw-r--r--.

A full rom for mini pro ? I just got that phone as a replacement for my X8. I haven't touch that one, more or less it's a backup phone. In addition I'm a rom dev. So Answer is no

They are the same... Any rom working with S will work with SL, too. Only thing is it will probably underclock it to 1500mhz, you would need kernel that supports overclocking to get it to 1700 again

[MOD][JB] Enable callrecording

In the past i had a Sony-Ericsson C905 Cyber-Shot phone modded with lots of pathces that give my phone a lot of functionalities, one of them was the ability of recording calls, a feature that is ristricted in some countries, ofcorse as all devs know and AFAIK call recording is kernel depedent, to be specific the 3.4.0 kernel witch is the Jelly Bean kernel.
So i whant to share to you the ability to record calls.
Its a port from Xperia V, and tested by myself on Xperia S 6.2.B.0.197 Jelly Bean and works flawlessly
tested on Xperia V JellyBean, and I can make sure it works on Xperia Z and other JB devices.
not tested on ICS but I thought it would work
how does it work:
press menu during the phonecall, you'll find a new "turn on recording" option
record will be auto saved in sdcard/record after you stop it or hang the phone
flash it in CWM
port from LT25c ICS
================================================
update:
Fixed LTE network support in Settings-More-Mobile networks-NetworkMode, LTE mode now is available for ur device, sorry for last version 'cause we don't have LTE network in China.
Enable dual mic noise suppression in "Settings-Call settings", I didn't notice this section in last version for that I apologize
Disable that annoying notify said"disable mobile data blablabla" when you press the Mobiledata toggle in status bar, I used to decompile SemcPhone.apk but it seems too complicated to modify smali by every update, can be solved by this patch.
================================================
like what Samsung did in his own Offical Rom, different patches are used like a switch for different function, as u all know call record is illegal in numbers of countries but not in China, I just accidentally found this patch in Chinese version FTF file, so, it's not my great work actually.
I once woked for gameloft, now I'm a cell phone reseller but still have interested in Android developping, I learned so much from xda, so EVERYONE are welcomed to use this patch in ur rom, it might be fit for all SONY JB device, no necessary to get my permission or inform me, all for one and one for all isn't it?

I'll try to delete one "pair" because I can't see nothing in scripts that explains doubled folders and files.

This is just bad optimised - zip is good for flashing.

I think the modded camera app from T(or is it V's?) with HDR and stuff like that could be added.... Also Bravia engine 2.

Introduction
As I saw various posts regarding flashing baseband from another firmware, I decided to take a look at a way to do it properly.
First, let me clarify something: flashing baseband partitions from flashtool is not enough! In fact, baseband firmware is composed of multiple files stored in /system/etc/firmware. Proof of this is that if you only flash baseband from flashtool, version won't change in the about box. Just replace files in /system/etc/firmware and version changes.
So copy file is enough? Well, not exactly as many reported that flashing partitions has an impact. Looking at partitions extracted from firmware, amss_fs_1 and fs_2 are empty but fsg is not. I suspect that it contains parameters that are used by the baseband firmware.
That's why I came up with these zip files, they install baseband files in /system/etc/firmware and flash amss partitions at the same time.
I'm looking for beta testers, I currently have .211 and .55 basebands. Send me a PM if you are interested in testing.
Instructions
Download the baseband you want to replace
Copy the zip file at the root of your internal storage/sdcard
Optional, but *highly* recommended, copy the md5 at the same location
Reboot to recovery and flash baseband
Reboot to your rom and check version in settings/about box
Please report success or failure to the thread.
FAQ
Is it safe ?
Well, I did it multiple times without any bad consequence. I can't promise it won't kill your phone though. As far as I know, this is the first time that amss partitions are flashed this way.
What are potential issues ?
First, using baseband from another firmware could lead to problems as rom are tuned for the matching baseband firmware. It could lead to disconnections, problem with calls, bad reception...
One effect I noticed is that agps seems to be reset after flashing. No big deal but first gps fix will take longer.
Where are the files ?
I want to do a private beta-testing before releasing them in the open. Contact me in PM if you want to be in the beta-test phase.

Good Job! Nice Feature to Add At my ROM ... GG.

Thanks bro,required it desperately

and what do i get from flashing them
i think you should mention that
sorry for my NOOB question

Well, you can try at least, but I'm not sure that baseband is the only issue.
I had a problem today with the 2.55 baseband on my aosp 3.4 kernel, I couldn't call when I was on 2G. It could be a random operator fluke, but it could be related to the baseband. Difficult to say. It's not exactly JB firmware, so your results could be different.
I'll do more test in coming days, but flashing baseband could give more troubles than it solves.

2g is still not working properly? even on official .200 and .211 ?

trust me its working better than ics .....for me(at least)...
just put the write APN settings there and it will be fine...

@letama, are you going To release your 3.4 aosp kernel in near future?

Sure. I have small details on my aosp build to fix before, but it shouldn't be too long.

So you were faster than me, I already suspected that .
Few questions on your kernel: does it follow mako or CAF guidelines?
And did you 'bulk' update the video/ion drivers or did you merge them cleanly.
Last but not least, did you watch out for the new V4L2 camera drivers so we can use the camera blobs from Sony's official JB releases?
Ping me in GTALK (now Hangouts) so we can chat a little

Which is the Baseband version for .211 fw? If it is something beyond -32 then I can test it, but if not will be a waste of time...

Well, it's Sony one with mako video bulk update, I only separated gpu/fb/ion, but same method as 3.0.x.
I'm using exclusively Sony JB proprietaries, camera is fine with the same 1080p stuttering problem as Sony one though.
I'll ping you tomorrow, a bit busy tonight

ok, good to hear my work isn't useless, cause I didn't bulk update mine, but merged the jb_2.5 CAF branch into our kernel.
Because nozomi really isn't mako, eventhough we can get along with mako drivers pretty well. Nontheless, staying in sync with CAF is much more future-proof and once Android 5.0 or whatever drops, it'll take me a simple 'git merge' to be up-to-date.

A little OT : why do you think Sony has made Camera driver using Video4linux?
I also saw that, but I can't understand Sony

Because of Sony Motion Eye support, Xperia P Have it.

That can't be the reason, they could add motion eye support without V4L, lol.
I think they wanted to implement a more generic driver than their ICS implementation and somebody decided on V4L.
That could alsp explain their struggles with 1080p encoding/recording.
My 3.4 CAF kernel has higher vidc clocks and different ION allocation than Sony's kernel for 1080p, so let's see if I can get this stutter fixed without Sony.
