I have seen over the Development Thread of NEO/V/ARC/S/PLAY, and about 90% of the ROMs are based on XPERIA Builds and most of them look like each other. Don't you guys get bore with the same interface ?
Its just a suggestion for devs that it would be great to make ROMs with different UIs.
Just noticed, I became SENIOR MEMBER now on XDA. Thanks XDA.
so i guess u would be developing new rom with "DIfferent UI" :/
I would definitely, but I am learning still. Don't worry, that doesn't meant it will take ages for the updates from me.
Well said ! But ROM-Dev put their own mod performance to boost the ROM :good: Which is unique
Performance is quite common thing in all the Builds, and Devs focus on performance and whats latest coming on XPERIA devices. We should have a look at other UIs, like HTCs or Touchwiz or Motoblur, and we can make things work because there are lot of ported apps which can work standalone.

Because stock based roms are the most stable roms.. Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Paranoid Android roms are not stable as stock based custom roms.. U can flash touchwiz, motoblur launchers as well for changing the look...

Hello smashingeeks, no offence but,let the devs decide what UI they would use, devs NEVER forced you to use the rom they built, if you want a new UI badly i suggest you do the ff
1.Buy another brand.
2.Make it yourself
devving is just the way it is, devs spend theyre time not yours plus they never ask for payment but only support and appreciation, if youre a dev. ( like whats in that siggy of yours you should have known this ryt?) so act like A dev respect like a dev!

No offense ofcourse Bro, Thats why I mentioned in the OP, its just a suggestion. I would definitely do something for me, trying different launchers, themes, icons. No Problem
I rather like clean ROMS with less bloatvares.. I prefer installing good apps and keep mobile faster :fingers-crossed:

You can try using new launchers ..but a set of widgets look good with good and suitable launcher ..moreover ..framework editing s are needed to get some things working like for sense ..you can try different launchers ..its just that the whole look of the ROM will look incomplete ..for example ..If I use a touvhwiz launcher in my upcoming ROM and add to that sony widgets.it would look just a bit odd ..whereas if samsung apps are ported to us and we use touchwiz + the samsung apps ..the look and feel gets better for the ROM ... I am a fan of HTC Sense ,. there's a sense rom in development ( its there in neov development section ) and so far .most of the things are working well ...Lets say ..sony produces the best unique software
Same me, I am desperate to see a Stable SENSE from Zack. But for NEO L/PLAY users, Wifi isn't working, neither the camera.

Yep im good at graphics, but im more Bash, java, even a little bit of c programmer .. I think is a waste being on charge at graphics, there are lot of people better for that, you can see on my apports, all the things I made when I had this device.. sadly I had to sell it. I can help with bash scripts on init.d, I can build kernel, but I dont like to build roms, so youll need to find someone else for that, and all my things need to be tested first by someone with mid-high knowledge cuz I cant test myself. Anyway, I think I can try some bootanimation for now, what will be the ROM name and based on what android version?, also, do you think to build rom & kernel from scratch (SE Sources) or do any kind of port?

I'd recommend, to start up with AOSP gingerbread (wich is already fully working), and start to port features from ICS, that would be fairly cool
I would be in too!
I am good at designing.
And I know C and a bit of Java and c++
of course i also know html, css...
Oh yeah, AOSP seems unique to me. None have done that yet I think. But I was thinking of a Gingerbread ROM that was based on 2011 Xperias or even from stock Eclair.
Anyways, I would like to join the team too however, I don't have any skills on programming. I've created a custom ROM based on stock for Samsung Galaxy Y but I just know the basics of modding like copy-pasting.
Or why not make farazfaraz join your team too? His PrimeHD v1 was really better in terms of speed than other CM7 builds out there. Just my two cents.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I will tell farazfaraz to join if he wants But,how about we focus on gaming?Stuff like..using his PrimeHD but modifying it in order to get better scores at quadrant and more FPS in games.
D4rKn3sSyS - If you have free time please port the AOSP Rom to the Pro
TheMiltos21 - I will select the tweaks for the ROM
nailik0110 - Design the wallpaper and the Bootscreen!If you can make an T-Mobile theme engine apk theme.
qtu - Select the most less-RAM-using replacement apps for stock ones.
farazfaraz
When finished,I'll create an image having screenshots of the phone but I'll also post a video on YouTube about the ROM while gaming!
1st - I want to know if you're all cool with that
2nd - We'll have to choose a name
3rd - Will it be focused on being beautiful or being Ultra-Fast?
4th - Everyone's opinion counts as one vote - the one with most votes will be the idea used.I vote gaming/performance!
5th - How will our team be called?
i like design most of all, but im not a good programmer, but designing is my speciality
I make simple but nice graphics at low performance, like the ics, its most based on simple colors making a awesome view, would love to help you out, PM me if I can join

Hey I have used cm7 and cm7 based roms!!! now am using stock based roms dynamite 5.0 which has a terrible battery life don't know y battery drains faster than ever !!! But camera quality is awesome!! So I have decided to use gingerblurb as it is a cm7 rom camera quality is not so good even after the fix is flashed so I would like to know is there any way that I can make stock camera app work on cm7 !! although I only know to kitchen and a bit c++ and learning XTHTML and CSS !! Thanks in advance!!!!
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
Use titanium backup! (not sure)
You can try to port the stock camera...
but i think there will be some problem related to framework...
It's written in gingerblurB discription that it has the N2 cam patch by me but actually, that ROM has different libs, you should try the original fix that i POSTED HERE
No way to use stock camera in any other rom.this question is answer hundred times in different thread.
Redundant thread
This issue has already been discussed in many threads, and all of them make clear that the stock camera app cannot be ported to any of these GB based custom roms, unfortunately.

Hello..
I want to make a Custom ROM for Xperia sola.
Do you guys want me to wait for ICS or do a GB one?
It will have:
*AOSP look,not too much.
*Some of my mods.
*Statusbar bar toggles.
*build.prop tweaks.
*Removed bloatware.
Please any more suggestions...
Cheers
Include your floating touch app
Tweak the performence as much as possoble
Maybe not aosp look but thats still your choice. You can provide a theme as add on.
Surprise us!
BTW nice to see this.
send from my awesome xperia sola using xda app
I am ok with AOSP, everyone can customize it after that.
I will be very happy if you do ICS one, without all the google stuff (bloatware) so the ROM is clean, RAM and battery efficient.
If you wait for ICS (which is may be around the corner) it will be better imo.
Thanx in advance.
My opinion, wait for ICS, I've had enough with GB
OC is ok, usually i underclock to save battery on my old phone..
Sent from my MT27i using Tapatalk 2
Make a GB for now cause i don't think ICS will hit us any time soon as I see it and as things goin with Sony!!!

Good luck and if need beta testin hit me up!!

Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
First of all thank you for taking an interest in the Sola, I think it needs more attention and it's just so unfortunate that it's not as actively being developed as other Sony handsets. I for one think that a stable GB AOSP rom is a great idea. ICS could have bugs when it gets released and people will want to go back to GB if that happens. I don't think the first ICS release is going to be perfect, so you can worry about fixing it and making it better when it gets here. For now, I vote for a GB rom, and maybe just for the heck it?
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
+1 to a GB rom for now. The two out there are alright, but always missing something (Latest update/status bar tweak/notification bars etc)
Wait for ICS
There're so many GB ROM
GB, there are fxp team working on ics. And from my past experience, we will always need a good old rom. And please use the latest GB rom release.
The other dev working on sola custom rom had suspend their development and waiting the ICS, so please make us a great GB rom as for now.

We will make a ROM which would look like as if Sony has made it...
If we all do it together its not impossible and we can do it...!

IMHO, CM10 is faster, AOKP faster too (antutu points & real gaming show it). Tested all. Stayed on CM10.
You guys say that .. oh we are goan be team and everything is possible. Well No. For JB sony has to make good drivers. We dont have drivers and thats why jb is crappy a bit. At first its super smooth. But if you install your apps and do daily stuff. you will notice that in ics its faster to do those stuff and its bugless too.
Well i am some kinda dev(bad one only soft modding and some theming) and i can say that its not easy. Well i ahve in mind how to do a sony look jb. But i have no idea how to work with this crappy linux(i know its gud but my pc uses raid so linux cant be installed.
Well its not easy. And in rays forum no one will care. Well eventualy someone could take a look. So if there is any gud dev that can help me make that i was talking about pelase pm me. (Dont pm me crappy messeges about " oh great i love you roms can i be a tester i wanna test you are great" etc

I don't think so. I use CM 10 (used PAC & AOKP before) for several days, with many apps installed! And the phone still smooth, smoother & faster than ICS, especially in games.
There are two main options:
Make a CM9/CM10 theme: pros: wider userbase, available in Play Store
Make a MIUI V4 theme: pros: Much deeper theming
I'd go for the last.

Okay, seriously, I'm finally getting this started, I've been thinking about making a MIUI theme for ages, the time is now.

i have been using my xperia p for 3 months with stock rom.just got on with rom cook.never better.
You should just wait patiently and not do anything until JellyBean rollout.
which ntituses
i am waiting too
I am Also new to Xperia P but Old to Xperia . I am waiting for JB.. JB will be great on this device (I think. ) In xperia P forum every thing seems to be paused.
Which unofficial rom do you suggest for xperia P. This stock ICS really sucks. I came from htc with cyanogenmod7 and must confess that even that was better than stock ICS. I was waiting for official JB but comparing stock ICS and CM9 (experience only from htc) I do not believe that stock JB will satisfy me.
