How stable is CM10 on the Acro S? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Anyone here that can give me some advice and support about CM10 Stability on the Acro S? How is the battery life? How is the performance? Is it stable enough?
Just asking before I am flashing this one on my two days old Acro S, so nothing gets ****ed up

Very stable. Been using CM10 as a daily driver since... around Decemember I am guessing. I have been following the weekly FXP updates and flash/wipe every time a major change come along our way.
Highly recommend CM10!
We are missing 1080p recording, Panoramic mode doesn't work on the camera... um that's all I can really think of. I've been using it so long that any minor bugs doesn't bother me anymore. It runs much better than CM9 and way faster than stock. Battery life is probably equivalent to stock ICS... again been away from stock for so long I don't really know anymore.
I ran stock for about two weeks and then broke open the bootloader and installed CM9. It was awesome! I went back to CM9 once after running CM10 for about 10 days while I was on vacation (needed the battery life before it was better optimized) and even then I missed CM10. Flashed CM10 back and never left.
With JB sources released for the Acro S we can only hope that the FXP team fix even more bugs and make CM10 even better. Hopefully soon also take us to CM10.1!
Oh one more thing for battery life. I was in Japan a couple of weeks ago with CM10 installed. With no data connection and using wifi only with auto-brightness enabled. (data uses more battery than wifi) According to batterbatterystats (my best record) I managed to push about 3hours 45min of "screen on" on a full charge. From the morning till the evening. Surfing the web, whatsapp, facebook, email, and some youtube. Hope that gives you an idea of battery life.

That is some good battery life, isn't?
Take in account that the Qualcomm is the regular SoC choice on every Xperia (except Xperia P) and Snapdragon is pretty powerhungry on stock firmware-based devices right? I hope CM10 is an batteryfriendly AOSP choice for the Acro S..
And yes, one more thing.. How is the camera performance on CM based ROMs for Xperia Acro S? Better or worse than stock? Camera is important to me..

HDCR Kernel and CM7

Hi,
if i flash HCDR will i lose any funtions on CM7?
Yes, you will loose USB among other things. Besides, why would you want to install HCDR kernel? It's old, not maintained and not optimized for CM7.
Battery life is a lot better.
Although im thinking of going to 2.2.1 cause CM7 doesnt like my device (lots of force closes and lag even with over clock) Which one would you recommend? I have tested Wildpuzzle but it isnt updated anymore! What about Jokerdroid?
If battery life is so horrible, you must be doing something wrong. I get easily 3-4 days with light usage. In fact, right now I've gone 6 days without recharge, and still has 60% left. But phone has been mostly sleeping during this time as I've been working on another phone.
You get fc's and lag even with overclock? That's kinda obvious, you're overclocking too much. Clock it down a little until it's stable.
Other roms I have no experience with, so I don't know.
The longest I've ever had is 2 days low usage on stock!
I've tried jokerdroid but for me its to customized with theming and stuff. It also overheats loads without overclock! Im gonna experiment with different roms and write some reviews on my website. http://www.andro-tech.tk. (Not so much on it at the moment Cause of holidays and school but I will work hard to add more!)

Stability of CM10?

I'm currently looking for a ROM base to modify to my needs. I really like the features available in cm but I'm not sure if cm10 (stock) is stable enough for production use yet. Does anyone have experience with this?
Been using it for about a month now and have no issues what so ever, I recommend the builds by Euroskank as he adds some really useful features.

I threw CM10 on mine and I had some radio issues. I don't know the technical details but the signal wouldn't lock in completely. The signal notification on the top bar would never turn blue no matter how perfect signal was, the wifi wouldn't lock in blue either. Reverted to stock for now.
Other than that it was awesome!

FYI - even though your bars are gray, you still have an active data connection. When they turn blue it means they are connected to googles servers
Sorry for OT - but try JBSourcery instead. :good:

You can also try Paranoid Android which has CM10 as its base and this ROM has been very stable for me. This ROM can be used in stock phone layout, phablet, or tablet modes.

How is your battery life? GPS? Still no bugs?
I'm still running Pete's Bugless Beast and its so perfect but just no mods or customization. I want to be able to customize but I don't know that I want to risk losing my bugless JB...
Has anyone compiled cm10 from source with no customizations other than the camera, NFC, and GPS files? How is that build? I'm going to be modifying it for personal and perhaps submit back.

GPS is perfect. Locks immediately. Battery life is nothing to write home about. I have the official extended battery and with decent use I might get 8hrs if I'm lucky. I'm up for ideas on other JB ROMs for Verizon that have better battery life.
Everything is perfect except for the battery. Almost afraid to flash another ROM because everything on the CM10 preview works for me.

JTFC, that's awful. How does it compare with what you had on ICS? I get decent battery life on JB (CM10), but still slightly lower (10-15%) than on CM9, but 1.5 to 2 days is still possible with my use + 3 hours screen on or so over that time. This holds true for all the JB ROMs I've run. 4-5 hours of screen on time over a workday of hard use is still possible for me, but idle drain seems to be hit/miss, some nights 0.25%/hour, other's 1%. Sync seems to be a more of a battery eater on JB, and I haven't bothered running Google Now since the first day or two I ran JB.
Shall see how today's JRO03L build performs.
Running vicious rom, the cm10, great with Franco kernel and his app. No complaints. Only thing is i can't get play music to download to my phone from the cloud

Unfortunately I don't have anything to compare it to. The GNex was a warranty replacement for my old Thunderbolt. After I got the GNex I immediately rooted and threw the first JB ROM on it I could find. I will keep searching through various threads in the development forum and see what I can come up with.
Oh and thanks for confirming my suspicion that my battery life is below average. The weekend is here. Plenty of time for experimenting

I highly recommend Better Battery Stats if you don't have it already. There's a free XDA version posted on the site, but the Market version is well worth the ~3$ also. Sync and location services (GPS or Google) and Google Now seem to be the biggest offenders on JB. I run sync and location sparingly.
That said, the GN is definitely no battery queen unfortunately :crying:

AOSP JELLY or CM10 JELLY

Which do you prefer and why. I Basically want the pro's and con's. I know CM10 is not meant for our phones, heck even CM9 for that matter. So im curious... whats your flavor.
How long have you been using JB (either one) and what's your battery like. Or how did you make it better.
What modem works for you and why.
Let's see some screenshots of your battery.
Its not that its not meant for our phones but not officially supported
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Correct. But it does work better on other phones. But you are correct thanks for correcting me.
I am a big CM fan and after using the alphas I strayed and lived on the Unofficial CM9 nightlies for a while. I found those very smooth, but had sub-par battery.
After jumping back to GB for a month or so, I have played with both CM10 and JB AOSP. As expected, CM10 has more customization options while AOSP is very lean. Performance is very similar between the two as there has been a lot of collaboration between the devs and functionality is continually improving VERY fast with each update.
That being said, the only thing I miss on either ROM is bluetooth for media. Everything else that I use is working without issue. Some have reported LOS, but I have not experienced it with a clean data wipe and fresh install. I am still holding on to the EL29 modem, but considering trying a couple of the newer releases.
As for my preference, I am using JB AOSP as my DD at this point because I have experienced VERY good battery life with practical use CM10 seemed to drain a little faster, but it is coming along quite nicely IMO. Moving from Calks GB 3.0 to the JB ROMS lately has not been a dramatic transition in terms of battery and that is saying something.
I hope that is what you were looking for. Either way, IMO you can't go wrong test driving both and seeing which one does it for you.
Edit 1 (AOSP Alpha 5): Bluetooth media has been working since Alpha 4 and it is very stable. With Alpha 5, the screen transition from portrait to landscape (and back) is more responsive as it has been a little slow in the previous builds. This is a very nice build. The battery issue seems to be that the phone does not charge completely but shows 99-100% when disconnecting from the charger. Sbrissen has noted a potential battery fix on Alpha 5. I have not had it long enough to report anything at this point.

I've been waiting for a post like this since Sbrissen released the ROM. Think I shall finally give it a go and see how it runs.
cm10 ftw.
after using cm you'll find it hard to go back to anything else! (unless its aokp)
there is just endless customization options..
cm10 may have more features for me aosp is a lil better far as battery and smoothness i ran both for a lil over a day aosp is the winner
Check out SB's AOSP Alpha 3. All the reviews say it is coming along nicely (almost Beta)
I tried it back when it was private, and it was amazing (other than LOS, which he seemed to have fixed)
So I'm installing it again now.
CM10 vs. AOSP
Well, for me CM does the trick. And when I got the EpTouch and found out it was not supported by CM, I was heartbroken. The Epic Touch is such a wonderful device with its screen, and CPU power; granted there are a number of devices currently better than this phone.
I think CM is a better choice just for how well they support development. I have never had an AOSP ROM before, but I enjoyed being able to boot into recovery from hitting the power button. I even enjoyed playing with a few of the CM settings in the phone.
AOSP is just pure, 100% Android, and is great if that is what you want. But, I still want a little suprises here and there.
Cm is very stable for the epic. They are quite close to official I would say.

Well I was running the AOSP build and loved it with the exception that WiFi tether won't work. Can anyone confirm it works on cm10 before I go through the trouble of flashing?
From what I read, Wifi tether is not working on Jellybean right now and have been running CM10 Alpha 4 for over 12 hours now. Let your Rom settle. It takes time to set your accounts back up with syncing and will drain your battery the first cycle. The first battery cycle had 3 hours. I left it off and let it charge over night. I have now had it off the charger for an hour and half and am still at 87%. A huge increase since first cycle. In that same time I have a 1% Time without Cell signal (LOS).... I had this on GB, just b/c I have one tower about 3 miles away that I'm anchored to. If you haven't already I would recommend flashing the new FH13 modem as well.

Well, from what i read from your reply is, I dont know what im talking about , yada yada yada.... If you read a little closer it says wifi tether is not working on the AOSP build. I clearly asked above if someone could verify that it is indeed working on the CM10 build. Is that what you are trying to say? Cause no one here said they are having problems with syncing or other accounts.
Cm10 alpha 4 is running great, I was running el29 modem but I had some issues with Los, after I upgraded to fh13 I have not experienced any more Los. also turning off location services gets better battery in deep sleep.

CM9. With Seeder v5. Using either Castagnal IT kernel or hadi's.
CM10 is not stable enough that's all. Battery lasted 3 days with wifi on.

Well, I'm using CM10 Alpha 3 now and everything I've experienced is far better than what I've experienced with ICS ROMS. JB is absolutely smoother than ICS. Try Slimbean first if you don't wanna waste time downloading just to test things. Apply forfivo's kernel v2 for jb to improve performance.
Just to be honest, even though many users are saying that there's many bugs and issues on cm10, the times you will encounter them are so minimal. And the phone is still fit for daily use. Just take my advice. Try CM10.

Can you please just calm down and stop sounding like you are trying to start a fight for absolutely no reason at all, calling people stupid, everyone is just giving their own opinion, giving an answer. I myself would suggest cm9 too as not all games work properly with jb and its very stable as of now.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
I'm in no means to start argument. But I left it with wifi on for three days to test for battery life.
If you don't connect to the internet much, wifi will barely consume any battery. But if you have any more to say, try having 3G on. My experience is that browsing on the internet with 3G on will even consume battery with AC plugged in.(though that is when I'm still in stock GB)
I keep my wifi on when I'm at home because file updates run better on them. (and is needed for frequent teamviewer usage too)
I did not state the fact that CM10 is worse than CM9, its just stability. And as a person who relies on his phone quite a lot, stability does come before performance.

[discussion] Why we should update to jb

Hi everyone
I made this discussion to explain why we should update to JB Although we know ICS is better for us
Battery, camera, wifi and 2g is better works on ICS
So, I did not find anything distinctive call me for the update
because ics is and always was a load of poo?

Phone is more fluid on JB, enough for me to update.
Also more apps are compatibile in google play (stronger API)

it's up to you. if you want to update just update . if you want to stay just stay. everybody have they own opinion.
I've updated to JB because the feature implemented by google, like google now, project butter, etc.
and I don't have problem with battery, camera, wifi, 2g in JB. I can accept battery life and camera quality in JB. wifi is good, and i'm barely touch 2G since i live in the middle of city with a lot of 3G signal.
however, you can try latest JB update from sony (even some custom ROM). but if you are not happy, then you can go back to ICS whenever you want. you're not forced to use JB anyway.

Yes both camera and battery life is superb on JB.....i found problem in video recording which is solved by LG Camera App....check That thread of mine for more info........
Because yes.
Maybe you should stick with GB . And I'm serious here, Bravia Engine works on unlocked bootloaders, it's probably the least memory intensive stock OS you can get, so not as much apps getting closed and camera was also arguably the best on GB roms. I'd never want to use a 3 year old OS, but if full functionality is your deal, maybe that's the way to go.
ICS is one big lagfest. That people are still complaining about the .96 update is because people just like complaining and they forget easily. I haven't seen one proper side-by-side comparison of the ICS vs JB firmware, so what can you base your judgment on? If you think Google Now doesn't negatively affect the battery, you're naive. But luckily you can disable that (it's not even on by default). Your phone is also getting older, it's very possible that your battery performs less good than a year ago, that might cost you 30-60 minutes in battery life by now. If you'd compare battery life under heavy usage between .96 and .55, there probably won't be any difference because the screen drains the most. I couldn't tell you how long the phone lasts if you barely touch it, because I use it too much for that. And any standby battery drain is for me easily worth it because JB is just so much snappier. I also almost never go 4 hours without a plug near me (and that's being hyperbolic, I just charge at night and that suffices).
And about the camera focusing slowly, it has done that on every firmware I've ever had on this phone. I remember reading the reviews before buying my XS, and journalists were complaining about the focusing time, now have it more than 12 months. It's possible that ICS .50 and .55 were a little better but it was never a strong point.
But I barely tried the .96 update since I upgraded to OpenSEMC a day or 2 after the .96 release. Infinite customizing lured me away .

ICS is one big lagfest. That people are still complaining about the .96 update is because people just like complaining and they forget easily. I haven't seen one proper side-by-side comparison of the ICS vs JB firmware, so what can you base your judgment on? If you think Google Now doesn't negatively affect the battery, you're naive. But luckily you can disable that (it's not even on by default). Your phone is also getting older, it's very possible that your battery performs less good than a year ago, that might cost you 30-60 minutes in battery life by now. If you'd compare battery life under heavy usage between .96 and .55, there probably won't be any difference because the screen drains the most. I couldn't tell you how long the phone lasts if you barely touch it, because I use it too much for that. And any standby battery drain is for me easily worth it because JB is just so much snappier. I also almost never go 4 hours without a plug near me (and that's being hyperbolic, I just charge at night and that suffices).
And about the camera focusing slowly, it has done that on every firmware I've ever had on this phone. I remember reading the reviews before buying my XS, and journalists were complaining about the focusing time, now have it more than 12 months. It's possible that ICS .50 and .55 were a little better but it was never a strong point.
But I barely tried the .96 update since I upgraded to OpenSEMC a day or 2 after the .96 release. Infinite customizing lured me away .

Haha I suppose I was going to say more but I got a force close lol ui is fairly buggy camera problems etc. I might try a clean install to improve performance but I doubt it will. Also battery drain is HUGE just texting for a couple hours I'll go down like 60%

The problem is battery.
in ICS it takes 2 days, in JB just 10 hours even in sleep mode

at the Moment ICS is Bugfree,
JB has Lag issues in Youtube/Video playback in MX player, Browser,
and Battery Life is better in ICS,
the UI is definitely smoother in JB though,

Maybe it's because ion hasn't got .96 update yet...
So you dislike Jelly Bean...

10 hours was not normal at all. You're getting very bad results that noone else is getting. I'd check your apps, maybe do a clean installation. Also the results of the first day don't mean much because the phone is syncing a lot at the beginning. And disable Google Now.

Thanks I'll disable Google now and see how that works out.

Google Now is a battery nightmare, disable it unless you actively use it.
