C5 ultra optimization - Sony Xperia C5 Ultra

SO since we have successfully rooted and unlocked the phone
its time to finally optimize the performance and user experience for the phone
so post your suggestions,experiments or tweaks you already know .
so starting off first will obviously be the removal of stock apps and also the crashmonitor.apk
i also use setCPU for screenOFF and gaming profiling and governor switching
I still am not sure which i/o works best, cfq or any else so suggestions are welcome
i am trying some tweaks to so will update soon
CHEERS !

Greenify for battery optimization!
Also Flashing Xposed and running several mods. I highly recommend Apps Ops Xposed. You can manually select any apps/system apps and prevent them from causing wake locks/alarms and draining battery...

Hey i tried to use a custom bootanimation .. Replaced the file .. Gave permissions.. But it doesn't work...
So can anyone upload the stock bootanimation.. Or any working one if anyone has modified it?

well did remove the crash monitor.apk doesn't break the phone?

Nope it doesn't break the phone... I deleted it coz it was continuously running in background and eating both ram and cpu
Also even though i change the resolution of the device.. I still can't get acceptable performance in asphalt 8... It still lags... :/ on high settings

there you go mate

Well since i have rooted my C5 for fews days...from first time,i forgot to clear the (recovery.from.boot.p) and the phone lost the TWRP recovery on first time..and then i try to reformat and reroot again but this time i went in to system/ and clear the (recovery.from.boot.p) and flash supersu ver 2.66 (not provided by Bigrammy.It went smooth on few trys without any problem and i can reboot to recovery mode...but after i install busybox,the recovery become lost.At first i thought is the superSU not compatible with our device C5..and i went again to reformat and unlock bootloader and flash the recovery once more.....and the conclusion is the recovery won't stick as it seems to be after flashing.

It sticks for me... Try reflashing and repeating the steps?

Seems that HK themer is for older sony devices and some more our devices chipset is mediatek..quite hard to theme i think

I even downloaded the xperia themer from sony dev world.. It offers very basic theming.. So it's also a no go...
Anyway.. Any luck increasing the performance?

Me too. I'm with version 5.0, rooted and will not bother updating until Marshmallow 6.0 is released & ROOTED!
Until then I'd rather have 5.0 rooted than 5.1 unrooted. I have many apps requiring root and also use Xposed. I cannot live without root.

FAQ for Xperia Nexus Rom

This is a FAQ for the ROM created by me and alokbina - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37247130
Q1. How to install?
Ans : -
0. Get root and CWM on .587 custom/stock rom. (Only locked bootloader)
1. Copy Rom on SD Card.
2. Flash kernel panic or any custom kernel. (skip for locked bootloader)
3. Boot into CWM.
4. If coming from V1 Rom, don't wipe data. Just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.
5. This is compulsory - Mounts and storage-->format /system. If you are a new user, wipe data/factory reset , cache, dalvik cache, and format /system. This is a very important step.
6. Install Zip from SD Card.
7. Select the zip and install. In Aroma, SELECT THE RIGHT CONFIGURATION ELSE BRICK YOUR TOUCH.
8. At the end of installation, it will ask you to reboot the device. Uncheck that box and complete installation.
9. Then TURN OFF, do not restart. ( turn off by just pulling out the battery)
10. Remove sd card, battery and sim card for 20-30 seconds. Then re-insert everything.
11. Start phone and wait till it boots. ( If you get a bootloop, do a full wipe and re-install )
11.5 - Go to setting and force stop apex launcher and clear data.
12. Restart the phone TWICE just to make sure that everything is okay.
13. Enjoy your super smooth xperia nexus phone
14. Optional - You can now install small apps if you need it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1929016
The small apps above are 100% confirmed to be working. You are also free to flash anything from the list of patches in the link.
Q2. When will it come for other MDPI devices?
Ans : - Just select the correct device and bootloader status in Aroma installer and you should be good to go.
Q3. Is this for both bootloaders?
Ans : - Yes! It work on both bootloaders. I have tested it myself on both. Just follow the installation instructions carefully and you should be successful.
Q4. What will happen if I flash a ST15i rom on any other xperia mdpi?
Ans : - Your touchscreen will stop functioning and you will have a mini-heart attack.
Q5. How to free more ram?
Ans : - Actually, free ram is ram wasted. But anyway - if you have any background apps running like facebook or dropbox, just go to settings and force stop them. As of android honeycomb, once a user app is force stopped, it won't start unless you manually start it.
Q6. I experience a very bad battery drain. What to do?
Ans : - This happens because of the disabled CPU rendering. Although it should increase battery life, I experimentally found out that without it battery is better. Anyway, just flash the attached adreno libs and your problem should be solved.
Q7. Wifi is not working...
Ans : - Go and check your respective kernel page for the wifi modules and flash via CWM.
Q8. Which kernel do you use?
Ans : - Kernel Panic for best performance. Battery life is okay. Approximately rate of discharge is 1% per hour.
Q9. Is this rom good for gaming?
Ans : - With Kernel Panic, I play almost all games with no lag. Temple Run 2, Dead Trigger etc. all run buttery smooth on stock frequencies. Overclocking will definitely help, but don't overclock too much as it will fry your CPU.
Q10. I need a system app which is not included in your Rom..
Ans : - Download stock .587 and place it in firmware folder of flashtool. Open the ftf with winrar and extract system.sin. Then open flash tool and go to tools--->Sin editor. Select system.sin and press dump data. Then go to extractors---->Yaffs2 and select system.yaffs2 file. Wait for the process and then you will find a folder in firmwares called as system_content. Go there and then go to app and take whatever apks you need. Don't unnecessarily create new threads requesting for some specific apks.
Q11. Is this and that mod compatible...
Ans : - Any mod that is for .587 should work.
Q12. I have locked bootloader, but it is laggy..
Ans : - Performance of your device greatly depends on kernel. As you have locked bootloader, kernel panic or any other custom kernel is out of option. If possible, please unlock your bootloader and use kernel panic for the real nexus effect. We will try out best to increase performance on locked bl.
Q13. What to do to fix all the bugs?
Ans : - For now please use any fixes that you find for the bugs. If it is compatible with .587 then it should work. We are working to fix the bugs.
Remember - ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RULES OF XDA

No. You will have to still flash the init.d zip given in the instructions. This issue will be fixed in the v2 of the Rom. Links have been updated. Mirrors added too.

Sorry for the lag but it is not possible to have as good performance on locked bl as that of unlocked bl. Custom kernels are more important than custom roms for performance. If possible please unlock your bl and use kernel panic. Also, the drivers that you flashed are only if you experience a battery drain. Flashing it reduces smoothness as it disables the gpu rendering mod..

Chances are there is a problem with SELinux. I'm not sure if it's specific to Samsung TouchWiz ROMs/kernels, but I'm having this issue again once I left AOSP 4.3 and started running TW 4.3.

its not working with most of the games like subway surfers , temple run , asphalt 8 etc
Something changed in selinux or something with SU that broke game killer. Other similar apps work fine, but they don't have the ability to change multiple values at once, or set a variable to a negative value.

What is not working? OTA updates
What is working? Everything
Known Issues:
1.) When i check for system upgrades in about menu, system hangs. why?
MIUI is not officially supported for Q900. Hence OTA updates are
not available for it. But please note that there will be updates
and you need to visit this page for frequent updates...
2.) There are lots of Bloatwares and i hate it!!!
Don't worry! Even i hate that too! Hence 99% of the bloatwares
can be uninstalled in apps section.
4.) I cannot change the ringtone in settings?
Use the themes to set ringtone.
Should you encounter any issues, please for God's sake report me and
i will fix it rather than scolding..
Thanks for installing my ROM!
I made this ROM to help and make Q900 users happy and to get rid of stupid stock ROM

After that, CONGRATULATIONS! You have installed the world's first custom ROM for Q900 and very beautiful too...
Feel free to try the new features..
What is not working? OTA updates
What is working? Everything
Known Issues:
1.) When i check for system upgrades in about menu, system hangs. why?
MIUI is not officially supported for Q900. Hence OTA updates are
not available for it. But please note that there will be updates
and you need to visit this page for frequent updates...
2.) There are lots of Bloatwares and i hate it!!!
Don't worry! Even i hate that too! Hence 99% of the bloatwares
can be uninstalled in apps section.
3.) FM radio was not not working when it was system app. Hence it was
made as data app, so be careful while uninstalling useless apps
4.) I cannot change the ringtone in settings?
Use the themes to set ringtone.
Should you encounter any issues, please for God's sake report me and
i will fix it rather than scolding..
Thanks for installing my ROM!
I made this ROM to help and make Q900 users happy and to get rid of stupid stock ROM
Hit thanks if i helped you!!!
Thanks for your patience and visiting this page...

Kit Kat Update for Indian version Lenovo P780

Lenovo P780 and Kit Kat 4.4.2 – Complete Installation and Root Tutorial with download links -
i have written a nice article with proper download links to manually update your Lenovo P780 to Kit Kat. Head over to the link at bottom and taste your piece of Kit Kat !!
Pre Requisites – very important if you are a noob !:
Lenovo P780 4GB or 8 GB version. works for both.
Phone needs to be updated to S_124_ROW firmware. The update to Kit Kat will never succeed if you are any thing below S_124_ROW firmware. Check your phone settings and search for update manually if you still haven’t received it. I got OTA updated.
At least 25% battery charge. You don’t want a brick then ensure you have at least 25% charge on the battery before you start flashing.
External Memory Card. The internal memory will be wiped off. Talking of wipe please backup all your data on the internal phone storage as this will be washed away.
Little patience !
What is good about this :
So far everything works fine. LED works for missed calls and SMS
Battery Life is amazing. It took me 2 full days to drain from 100% to 10% with moderate usage. Always connected to Wifi.
Felt a little lag in UI if using stock vibe UI, changed to Nova launcher for butter smooth operations
All Sensors work. Magnetic sensor too.
What is bad about this :
You tube playback. Sometimes the video and audio is out of sync. However if you play it via browser every things cool.
Head over to this link for full tutorial and download links : On request by lot of members i have removed the social lock from page. The page can now be accessed directly.
http://studioscue.com/lenovo-p780-8gb-indian-version-kitkat-4-4-2-installtion-and-rooting/
Got updated to S221_ROW - Here is my observation after using it for 2 full days. -
1. After switching the run time to ART, Phone is much smoother to operate.
2. Battery Back up seems to have increased marginally.
3. Huge improvement in camera section. Macro shots are really awesome.
4. Over all there seems to be a lot of improvement in responsiveness.
5. Higher frame rates in games.
6. In short a great package. Must do it now !!
Got updated to S222_ROW - Here is my first observation after using it for two days (21-Aug-2014) -
1. You tube audio sync issues finally seem to be resolved. Yeiahhhhhhhhhhhh !!
2. Excellent memory optimization. Free available RAM moves up to 500MB
3. Batter endurance good enough.
4. ART run time further improved.
5. Rooting is a hard but this time. You need to use older version of SP flash tools with self made scatter file from MTK droid tool.
6. Removed Lenovo camera. Crap software with lot of footprint here and there. Instead using Camera HD ultra from playstore. great camera package with minimal features and memory footprints.
7. Over all an excellent update package. Recommended for all. :good::good:
Got updated to S223_ROW - What's New and improved (9-September-2014) -
1. User 0 thing in the notification bar is gone.
2. More responsive.
3. Battery endurance just about same.
4. If you find your phone lagging or slow to launch frequently used apps, i suggest go to power manager and disable smart endurance. Doesn't make a lot of difference to Battery backup but does make the phone significantly faster to launch frequent apps.
5. Rooting done via scatter file loaded from S222_ROW and latest version of SP flash tools. Compatible version is TWRP 2.7.1.1
6. I already have removed all the bloatware from phone including Lenovo Camera. Using Nexus Gallery and Camera HD ultra.
7. Much better performance with ART set as runtime in dev options.
Got updated to S226_ROW - What's New and improved (26-September-2014) -
1. UI is now based on Vibe UI 2.0 which is lenovo's answer to MIUI.
2. Although the UI is based in Vibe there is no visual change in how the phone interface looks like.
3. Major improvement in Camera section. Camera can now lock focus even in pitch black darkness.
4. Smoother UI with almost zero lags under normal operation. You might find a little lag while browsing system properties and running apps.
5. Rooting done via scatter file loaded from S226_ROW and latest version of SP flash tools. Compatible version is TWRP 2.7.1.1
6. Battery endurance increased. Make sure you calibrate battery using the built in power manager.
7. You Tube works fine.
8. Also please go to Google Settings and opt out of advertisement section, this will free up a lot of RAM.
9. With all basic apps installed and phone in ready to use condition, i have around 450MB of free RAM. Check the screenshot
why does the link go to the Russian version? the thread states that it's the Indian row version. is this release stable? can it be ota updated?
hi
i have downloaded the same can any one else confirm that this works dont want to brick my phone om on stock india firmware 124ROW no rooting nothing done
thanks in advance:laugh::good:

Lenovo P780 and Kit Kat 4.4.2 – Complete Tutorial
Many a times i have noticed that even though we Indians are amongst the best Information Technology professionals in the world, almost every other company seems to be launching their products in India only after its quite dated in European and American countries. This really pisses me up and i strongly feel like we Indians too deserve nothing but the best of all and that too on time. Official updates for Lenovo P780 to Kit kat could take another year or may never come as well. So i have written a nice article with proper download links to manually update your Lenovo P780 to Kit Kat. Head over to the link at bottom and taste your piece of Kit Kat !!

It is not the Indian version. India is yet to receive any update. But this works perfectly on Lenovo p780 bought in India. Go ahead and flash it. It's safe. Just make sure your phone is on s_124_row

I suggest you reflash s_119_row via so flash tool. Then check for Ota updates and update to s_123 then again check for Ota updated and update to s_124. Once that's done you simply need to copy the downloaded kitkat update to root of SD card and reboot the phone to recovery. It will update automatically. Let us know how it works.

I'm in the UK and the OTA update has appeared P780_ROW_S220_140722 (722MB) for my stock S124 ROM. Not pulled the trigger yet but I don't understand why you people don't just update OTA instead of downloading.
i am unable to boot into recovery. recovery flash was ok. but when i try to boot into it, it says invalid command. Any other way to toot this device?

Switch off the phone. Open up SP tools. Load the scatter file and then uncheck everything except recovery. Click download then connect your phone to PC. Once the green circle appears disconnect. Now hold the power plus vol up and vol down button together.

Follow the link on OP. You can root it easily

So what's the verdict on Kit Kat guys? All good? Everything working fine? Is the LED finally fixed so it works for WhatsApp and Email? The Russian forums say there is an issue with the camera and a fix is expected in the next week or two.
Please post what you think is good and bad about the new update. What about new software? Battery life better than/as good as/worse than 4.2?

i do not see any guide in your site from that link.
​U hv to like or share to see the links.
How about the cam? anyone know how to fix it? It says cannot access cam. And rooting is a bust that's for sure.
I am rooted. I think sometimes it fails to write recovery.
I didn't like the update. Slx was better.
Apps like hike n some other messengers don't run in background. And become offline. This applies to other apps also which i want continuous running like smart cover.
Dialer shows very small pic of the caller. Security app is worst I have ever used AVG is much better.
Just update with this rom last night..so far everything is ok... I got the old problem.. Sms/whatsapp doest show contact.. Just showing number.. Doest have this problem when im using miui rom..anyone know how to fix this?

TUTORIAL STEP BY STEP HOW TO INSTALL
*recommended sd card class 10 with at least 8gb with a ext-4 partition of 1.5gb and swap at 256*
-but you can try other values, no less than ext-4 at 1gb and swap 128-
REQUIRED FIRMWARE 62 OR 79 ..IF YOU HAVE IT DONT NEED TO FLASH.

smokerman xda developers 2015
This ext4 partition is for apps or for cache? An if for apps there is still need to use link2sd or u changed partitions so its seen as internal memory?
And one more question: Do i need to be on neo l ics fw or .62 vendor unlocked and newer play gb fws are good?

required FW is 62 or .79 with vendor partition..if you have it dont need to flash..i forget to say that on tutorial video.sorry...if you see the screenshot im on .62 firmware.. partition is for cache only..not available for user apps.
dont need to flash NEO L firmware..
ok. 1.5gb is a lot, i really thought that art needs 400-500mb...

as i say you can try 1GB and swap 128..or other values that you see its working..video is generic,should work with other sizes, but at least 1GB i think you are fine.
ok will try it. Now i need to clean sdcard and repartition it.
Did you (or anyon eother, but noone is talking here) tried something like link2sd? It will probably try to use "cache" partition as its, so its pretty unusefull i think (?)
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
SO after 15 minutes if use (and additional 15 minutes to ler it do the magic in the begginingI i see that automatic brigteness doesnt work and flashlight breaks everything - i mean screen gots dark and i cant do nothing except take out battery
EDIT: U said that this 1.5 gb is for cache, however i see that its used as internal storage (so its data), that mean that it can be how i think: internal memory is split for system and cache and data partition is moved to sdcard?
smokerman i belive you should move your Thread to Q&A or Troubleshooting as we are not the REAL DEVS of this ROM.. its Mike and he will eventually Create new threads for cm12 here.. lets give him this space... in the Dev thread.. i also for the same reason didnt create the thread here.. i hope you understand my point.. we dont want to tick him off do we.. lol
the rom at this point its enough for daily usage..when mike wants to take over or create a new thread i will close this one and put a link to his thread..for now its just to have all users in the same space as your q&a thread was created on early buildings..alpha..this now is like BETA stage..from my tests its a decent rom in this stage..i will try to fix touchpads if i can and if have time..nowadays i dont use xperia play anymore..im developing for other devices and this days xperia play unfortunely is more than outdated..i find myself struggling to get something more of this amazing device..i wish SONY could make a xperia play 2..but that is another thing..and people dont sign my petition , dont know why..almost a year and only 50 signatures..xperia play users are a bit ungrateful with developers..i know that now..thats why many developers leave from here and now its finally my turn to say goodbye..now and then i will be here to see my threads but anytime soon this subforum maybe will go to low legacy devices.
One thing I want to know: is the recovery still CM Recovery, and is it still not capable of flashing packages other than ROM and GAPPS?
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM12
[WARNING: XDA Premium 4.0.13+ lacks Signature function - do not update]
Its still cm recovery, and it flashed supersu zip package. Dont have more mods for l as started playing with it yesterday evening
EDIT: I couldnt flash xposed for lollipop so it probably still doesnt let to flash other zips
I did the whole process and I get this
Do you made ext4 partition on sdcard? What application did u use for this? I recommend gparted as it always works for me (recovery or minitool sometimes gave me unseen partitions)

Can we bot Kitkat by using this kernel
just asking out of curiosity...can i boot kitkat(4.4.4) by using kernel of CM12
PS :- I tried to boot kitkat by using this kernel however it booted but was stucked in CM logo ....wouldn't it be great to get camera working in Kitkat and also there is no lag problem in KITKAT rom.
Btw, Smokerman Hats off to ur effort, its truly appreciated by every NEO L user

Certainly not... Kernels are never versatile. Also, the lag isn't necessarily associated to the kernel.

...and if you mean the speed, from my experience running PPSSPP, it's actually faster than CM11 in frame rate (for strange reason - CM11 stutters in even the simplest PSP game), though still not up to par with the good'ol ICS.

Hello XDA community! while I'm not forum Xperia Play, and recently between seeing as ive developing new rom's and I found this, and to save time to read all the post, wanted to know how things are going in general? .
Games?
Gamepad support? analogues?
3G - WIFI - Bluetooth - SMS?
stability and compatibility with applications?
if someone would be so kind you've tried the latest build and I can answer these questions.
thanks in advance
