1. Yes.
Always install the apps you need. Removing /disabling pre-installed apps you don't need also helps a lot.
2. You need to cache.
- Boot to recovery
- clear cache
- reboot phone
Done.
Also note that your first problem can easily lead to slow loading of apps
3. Your friend is actually right.
The official Facebook app causes heavy battery drain.
Until Facebook releases a revamped app, you will sure be better using a third-party Facebook app.

what about widgets? i have around 5 widgets - 1.poweramp 4*2 , flpboard (small) , beautiful superclock 4*2,android assistant 4*1 ,google bar
and almost all my installed apps are in folders in launcher screen , like i got 5 screens and almost all installed apps are in folders cause its easy to open when ever i want , does that also effect performance?
i use apex paid launcher

instead of Facebook u can use 'Friendcaster' app from stores, also use 'Gemini app Manager' from stores to monitor ur apps(like auto start on boot etc).
that way u can minimise lot of wakelocks.
As for as widjets like Flpboard etc set there refresh interval to max and see

No(Folders don't do performance), but widget is cause battery drain

5 widgets are small anyways shouldn't affect performance.
To improve performance:
1. Uninstall user apps (the ones you installed) you don't need or use
2. Disable System apps you don't need
Check here for list of apps that can be safely disabled
Note: if you have ROOT access, you can even disable more
3. Clear your cache.
# use the method in my previous post.
You should notice the difference now.

quick question:
1. Did you restore System app + data, User Apps + data using Titanium backup?
2. List the steps you took while flashing the ROM.

1. Did you restore System app + data, User Apps + data using Titanium backup?
i restore only user apps+data
2. List the steps you took while flashing the ROM.
clear cache , dalvik , data,format system
but after installing rom i use titanium back and remove few apps , like gmail,gvoice,tvout and few other (ofc safe to remove )

You can check the space available on your internal SD card. I have read that atleast 2GB of free space is recommended for buffering etc.

yes its more than 2gb
just changed to paranoid
hope i dont have to download one more rom again

[ROM] SuperAosp from [email protected] & tolemaC

Special thanks to the creator of the item inexus from which inspired me to give a graphic touch to the rom.
This rom (not a mod) has been developed entirely from the source of Google and very little of Cyanogen framework.
Thanks to Cyanogen and all his staff for the contributions received.
Is installed from the recovery, as always, do not worry if it takes a while to leave the first splash is entirely normal and configuration files running on first boot.
I strongly recommend formatting SDCARD total with three partitions, SDCARD 7.4 GB / EXT3 512MB / LinuxSwap 64MB, you can do from the recovery, but remember to keep you before your pictures and music. This is because directories are created in the sdcard called Android which are recorded in the data I have found to negatively affect the rom. PROVEN!,
This is only necessary in case you want to have Apps2sd or Linux Swap, if not going to do any of those things is not necessary to format the Sdcard with three partitions.
WARNING!
Only if you come from different roms (Donut, Eclair, Froyo) is necessary to WIPE, when coding in Gingerbread from this rom will not need to wipe again to install later roms.
This rom installs itself alone, that is completely reconfigures.
Before installing the rom Wipe recommend because it has many changes. When installed and out of recovery by restarting leave untouched while the LED flashes. At this point I recommend you salteis the account settings to skip giving google and once in the launcher and set podreis rom to your liking. This is because otherwise the phone will Autoconnect the market and begin to automatically download all the applications you had installed and it saturates the terminal because it does hit, besides putting the background image that you had prior to the rom and then you ask me that as it is possible that if I install the rom to wipe the bottom appears to me that I had before. In this way you will do a clean install. Then you enter the market and instalais a free application to refresh anyone that you have installed in the terminal.
Very attentive to you to do restorations of any kind against the rom or program that you can have problems. (I mean backups, including their own SupSetup least in the section on applications), special attention to restore configuration data of any kind. Under the best not to doubt.
SupSetup new V16 in all roms, not serve any previous SupSetup for this rom
The new integrated SupSetup activation brings on-demand applications in the applications section extras, you can enable applications that interest you as the Roma comes in "Lite" (without extra applications installed) so that everyone can choose the best configuration.
It is important before you set up Google account to be activated from applications before SupSetup so that when you connect to the servers to configure your Google account, they enter the downloads section.
After entering the market and to display applications install any application downloads for cool downloads.
Apps2sd
Apps2sd is to pass the phone applications both current and future to the ext3 partition, it is imperative not to activate any way to move application to the sd or change from internal to external location application. Simply activate it from the SupSetup without touching any configuration in the Spare Parts or applications from the rom settings.
Apps2sd not activate without at least once you have restarted
General
- Rom in "LITE"
- New graphical look different from SuperGinger's
- All you had the SuperGinger but since source of non-Cyano Google
Added
- Wake & Unlock
- Always visible Bluetooth Settings (tolemaC)
- Hide clock
- Percentage of battery
- It's part of Cyanogen CyanogenModsettings
- Etc ...
A rom much lighter than any other that you were able to prove, you could say that is the Nexus CSDI One (this rom Magic gave a lot to talk), completely stable and trouble-free calls or anything known, at least tests we are doing we have not yet found any fault.
Applications
- You can install more from the extra applications SupSetup
- Google Apps
- Flash Player 10.1

[FAQ] CUSTOM Cyanogen Froyo General F.A.Q.

THIS THREAD IS BORN TO HELP ALL THE DEV... PLEASE MAKE HERE YOUR QUESTION.
DON'T PUSH THE DEV.
When you put a question when is possible i update this FAQ.
Please excuse my really bad english....
INSTALL INSTRUCTION FROM FRESH STOCK ROM
save all your data
start seus recovery from Sony Ericsson PC Companion and make your phone clean and fresh.
install a file explorer, install XRECOVERY and install the rom, then restart and install with XRECOVERY the HOTFIX you need.
CAN I UPGRADE FROM VERSION TO ANOTHER?
Yes in the 90% without trouble, your data and app are safe, but not from foryou to ginger and sometimes....
CAN I INSTALL ONLY THE LAST VERSION?
Usually the next version have all the hotfix and some tweeks, yes you can.
SOME APP CRASH, WHY?
Try to delete all the data of the app from the application menu.
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Sometimes you need a fresh SEUS flash...Try to discover if your app not work only for you or all the people...
SOME APP DON'T INSTALL (like angry birds), AND NOW?
Try to Wipe Dalvik Cache using xRecovery
In case, if any app doesn't install even after cleaning Dalvik Cache via xRecovery for some reason.. Try this command:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Or simply navigate to /mnt/secure/asec/ using root explorer, find smdl2tmp1.asec and delete it. It will solve the problem.
MY BATTERY HAVE STRANGE DRAIN ISSUE
Try this: make a full charge of the x10, set wifi option "never sleep", reboot in xrecovery, wipe battery stats and then use ALL the battery before the new recharge.
I CAN'T UPDATE AN APP, WHY?
Try to delete data app or unintall the app (for system app uninstall with titanium backup or similar app) and then install it again.
I HAVE SOME KEYBOARD HARDWARE AND LAYOUT ISSUE...
Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982341
HOW I CAN MAKE FM RADIO WORK?
Turn off Wifi
Turn on Bluetooth (wait till its started)
connect Head Phones
start FM App (make sure when you hit menu button you have set the right region)
And listen to FM Radio
MULTITOUCH NOT WORK, WHY?
It's possible you have a differtent version of x10 mini pro, there are an alternative module, be happy, try this link and copy the module in your /system/lib/modules with a filemanager (you need to reboot).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=620359&d=1307637881
SOME DEFAULT STOCK ROM APPLICATION NOT WORK (like ALBUM), WHY?
We don't have sony Ericsson framework... sorry, stay tuned for next hotfix.
MY X10 SOMETIMES REBOOT, WHY?
Reboots? -> Flash non overclocked version or try to remove undervolt option.
MY X10 FREEZE AT SE LOGO, NOW?
Stuck at SE Logo? -> Wipe Data and Dalvik Cache, restore via MyPhoneExplorer or something Else
CAN'T USE OLD APP2SD and ext2/3/4 PARTIOTION, WHY?
Some custom roms use the native Froyo app2sd, go in the app menu and move from here to the sd, the old app2sd is born for Enclair rom, on this roms not work.
I CAN'T MOVE APPS TO SD, WHY?
Can't move apps to SD?? -> Format SD Card or delete hidden folders on SD Card
Make sure you have 'Allow application moving' checked in settings>cyanogenmod settings>application settings
I CAN'T OPEN DISPLAY SETTINGS FOR AUTO BRIGHTNESS, WHY?
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13382274&postcount=10
IN THIS ROM WE SHOULD HAVE JIT ENABLEAD OR DISABLED?
Leave jit enabled, it gives you the best overall performance. If you play a lot of games its ok to turn it off. I leave it on all the time. If you need to save battery you can also try to turn jit off. Resizing jit heap takes a bit of battery
HOW I CAN SET AN APP AS THE DEFAULT APP?
Go to the application menu ---> manage application ---> find the old default app and remove the default. Next time android make you the question of the new default app.
HOW I CAN REMOVE SYSTEM APP?
IS Dangerous but if you want try use an app like TITANIUM BACKUP.
MY PHONE STAYS AT SONY LOGO OR IS IN BOOT LOOP
Check baseband version ends with xxxxxxxxx015 if not you WILL need to flash to newest Sony Firmware with SEUS ( 2.1.1.A.06)

Introducing, a new ROM based on the amazing acervenky's Vision™Rom,
TinyXperiaLite™
Many people want simple, fast and bloat free ROMs. They only want the bare minimum ROM so that they can freely add and tweak (the ROM or directly, the sources) so as to customize it as they please.

And similarly, there will be modifications that will suit others as well. So, presenting TinyXperiaLite. The main purpose of this ROM is to enable you to make what you want for your device. Add apps, features, change boot animation, add ring tones and what not because this ROM weighs in only at 76 MB (for Release v0.1) and can support all your demands.

Please don't blame me if you BRICK your phone. I will not be held responsible. You are using my work only because you choose to, and you must remember that this is experimental and the user should know the risks involved in using a custom ROM.

Battery & RAM Tweaking Guide
Battery Calibration Tutorial
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.​

Extra Battery Saving Tips:
1. Set a brightness level. Do not use Auto Brightness, it sips more power in turn.
2. Set ROTATION to OFF if you are not using Landscape Mode at all.
3. Use EXTENDED BATTERY Mode if you actively use WiFi/Mobile Data.
RAM Cleaning
- Do not use task killers
- Freeze/Move to Quarantine those APPS which you DO NOT USE regularly and you don't want them TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND
APP QUARANTINE on Play Store
Go ahead, try it. Move all unwanted apps to quarantine now!
DEEP SLEEP STATE battery saving
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
How Deep sleep Battery Saver works
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off. During deepsleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc, which is defined by deepsleep frequency and woke up duration
By constantly put device into deepsleep mode, we will save battery life due to no Internet connection, and therefore most of network-based apps, such as Facebook, Gmail will not work.
Caution: during deepsleep mode on, this app may disrupt your normal activities, such as your email notification comes with larger delay.
In advanced mode, you can customize more parameters, including day/night settings, active period, screen timeout, sync strategy, ignored apps, etc,.​

Hi!
What features are here apart from removed bloatware, I'm talking about tweaks...supercharger, wi-fi 3g tweaks...?
One of my friends has xperia Go, on which I gained him root access, but I can't find a good simple tweaked rom for locked bootloader.
Thanks
SuperCharger V6, Mali400, SQLite, ZipAlign.
These tweaks are there in every custom ROM my friend..
Nobody try?
Thanks for the reply. I will tell that my friend of this rom, but it will be a long way and it should be tested from another with locked bl before, because I can't be responsible for him.
Anyway many thanks for your work! I will follow this thread.
Locked Bootloader will be safer I guess. Anyways thanks!
Cant flash rom stock
error
23/002/2013 12:02:44 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0076";ERR_DYNAMIC="failed to set ta config";
23/002/2013 12:02:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Just tried it. I love the bootanimation and xperia z launcher with 4x4 app drawer. The only problem is the tab n grid is outdated. On startup there's a notification saying "a large number of sms are being sent. I tried to update the tab n grid and it worked fine. Also the CWM is still there.
EDIT: The themes were gone. I can't select other themes.
UPdate: In order to make the app drawer 4x4, you have to clear xperia home data in settings.
Update: In order to change themes, you have to go to settings >> display. There's no option to change theme on launcher. Please fix it.

Stock launcher has no home preferences. That is a modified version of stock launcher, search in xda "stock launcher mdpi". Then you will have to copy "home.apk" (exchange with old one) and "home preferences.apk" to /system/app and edit properties -rw -r -r. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
But you should try this rom.

Thanks for the help out:laugh:
What's battery life like using this rom? I'm interested because it sounds promising that it may provide a good, crisp, basic rom which may lead to longer battery. Any info greatly appreciated...

[Q] LwW Rooting Issues

I have successfully rooted my Sony Xperia LwW (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) using the DoomLord method. Everything is great. I can remove some stock Bloatware or apps that i don't use (using Root Explorer) & i did remove quite some apks. Although i had paid heed to some good advise to store the junk & not delete it. Hence i was moving the apks from /system/app/ to my sd card just to be safe.
The issues arised a little later.
1) My calendar widget that was showing Facebook synced Birthdays is now left completely Blank. I did try googling the issue but no solution. I correctly remember not having touched the FB Calendar sync apk. i also tried to check Xperia FB integration which is ON in performance assistant (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) but still the issue remains.
2) The WALKMAN app lost all the library i.e. my Music. I had it updated in a while but it only updated from the Music folder on the SD card & not the Bluetooth & Downloads folder. i'm still clueless.
3) The Performance Assistant App that handles the FB Integration Force Closes on me.
There might be more issues but i'll post them as i find them during my use. My phone is in a working condition alongwith the issues. I hope Rooting is not a SIN. But there just might be some speed bumps on the way. So please assist me in any way you can. :good:
FYI: I'm a 90-95 % NooB so please be a little elaborative in your suggestions (if any on my problem). I'll update every info from my side.
Thanks. Peace Out.
i think you remove some part of them
try re-flash your firmware and root again , and be careful if you want to remove system application ,
ora maybe you can write down here every app that you've deleted , so we know whether they're important or not
App List
Here's the list of apps that i've moved. (in screenshots)

Looking at your screenshots that isn't what you've done if you've just moved the apks, if you not uninstalled or froze then you've left a lot of stuff on your Phone, so best advise is to reflash the ROM, root, install Titanium Backup or similar and freeze the apps, although tbh I would just uninstall all those in your screenshots.
Thanks for the Heads up !!

Thanks for the heads up. I installed an app yesterday called NoBloat Free from the play store. The reviews were good so i gave it a shot. Interestingly in the list of System Apps in NoBloat i did not find the apps i moved. So i believe the apps are indeed out of question.
Another thing i tried regarding my Library issue was to format my sd card (read it on Sony's Forum) and then copy all the content back to my phone. The thing worked but the media gallery backfired. My screenshots that i posted above are no more in my gallery. But when i viewed it from Astro File manager, they were there.
Could my sd card be a villain for all my problems ?
I guess performance assistance app has a connection with AppEnabler.apk
try this...

you are not supposed to fiddle with system unless you have a nandroid backup..
ok try this,i m not sure it might work...:fingers-crossed:
restore app enabler,3 fb apps,mediawidget,setupwizard and track id and then fix permissions,then reboot your phone..
btw can u tell me in detail how u rooted?,u downgraded,rooted and then upgraded right?,or you followed some other method?...post the link...

I believe it is just a change of name. When the OS is running the app is listed in the menu as performance assistance while in the /system/app it is called app enabler. Well that is from sony guys to help pace up the phone. So it is of little concern to me.

Here's the rooting link. Followed it point to point & successfully rooted:
Xperia 2011 Rooting Guide
Great actually but sometimes i think i messed up my phone.
Another weird thing happening is that my Wi-Fi when enabled on my phone does not connect to my router (although it has saved my router SSID & password). i have to go to airplane mod then disable airplane mode & then the Wi-Fi connects to the router. ANY INSIGHTS ?
Calendar Restored !!!
The app enabler didn't help... right !! So i went to Settings > Xperia > Facebook integration & kicked started the Calendar sync & VOILA its on track. So 1 problem less.
u can apply a walkman mod. it will solve issues with the walkman
what kind of a mod

Possibilities to export all installed apps to a reinstallable “package” or something?

Hello, (if this thread fits somewhere else, then someone can move it :> )
I am reinstalling roms once in a month or so. It is always nice to test the phone with a lot of apps to see how the phone and the rom react and how much it can perform. But it is a bit horrible to reinstall all apps everytime i install a new rom. Is there a way to export all apps to a big package i can install again on a new installed rom?
Is there a way to export/package all apps installed on the phone to one packet or something? Instead of installing all apps in a horrible sequence from google play.

Why everyone are making new off-topic threads !!
We need a banner or something at the top to make it clearer that this is for Android Wear, not some general Android section.
The forum page defaults to newest devices (at least for me) and Android Wear is at the top, I think that's why random posts keep ending up in here.

There is indeed. Open Titanium Backup Pro > Batch Mode > Recovery Mode > create update.zip from either user and/or system apk with or without data.
I want to find exact this type of forum so thanks
