Hello everyone,
First of all, I'd like to thank you all for the help you've already given me (unknowingly). I have been using this forum a lot the past few days, as well as checking out multiple YouTube videos. These all helped me out tremendously in the adventure I undertook in order to boost the performance of my phone.
I've already encountered numerous issues with my phone in the process and like most beginners, I've also had a few moments where I thought "Okay, it finally happened - it's dead". However, I somehow managed to revive it time after time. Don't worry though - this is not a thread where I claim my phone to be bricked. But I do have a few questions which most of you have probably already answered here and there. If that's the case, I truly apologize. Please know that I tried hard to find all the answers myself, but that I have reached a dead end.
-----
Yesterday, I finally installed CM 10 on my Xperia U. Why? Because I did not quite like the Sony UI and my phone was seriously under-performing battery-wise. Next to that, I really seemed to like the stock android interface (at least from afar). Hence, I downloaded the FXP CM10 from the official FXP website (cm-10-20131224-FXP-kumquat.zip). I must say that the functionality of this ROM is way better than Sony's original UI. The options you have for setting up the device, the way you can respond to incoming messages (read, quick reply, ...), the widget for messaging, etc. It would've been perfect even, if not for these issues:
1. The camera is inverted. Very strange, as I read that people were complaining about the time it takes to start up the camera app, but not that the camera was inverted. I thought that that issue was fixed, but apparently not.
2. I cannot seem to change the layout of the keyboard - an issue with which I am willing to live.
3. I can't add a corporate account. When I set up my mail account, it works like a charm. However, when I want to link an account to import my contacts, it claims that it can't connect to the server. On the internet I found out that you have to set the server to m.google.com - but then it says I don't have permission to sync with this server. I do not have Gapps (Google Apps) installed, could that be the reason?
4. Yesterday, my phone didn't want to unlock on two occasions - it just didn't respond. However, today I haven't had any issues so no problem for me.
Now maybe all of this can be fixed rapidly. You see, before I installed CM 10, I actually wanted to install the FXP 216 CM 9. According to Mark Sohan (YouTube account), this was the most stable ROM for an Xperia U. However, I can't seem to get my hands on it. I can't find it on the FXP site either (no longer supported?).
So my first question would be: Where can I download CM9 Kumquat (FXP 216)?
My second question would be: is it possible to fix issue 1 and 3? If so, how?
And if you would no longer advice CM 9, which one would you advice? Where can I find a (stock) ROM which works perfectly well with my Xperia U? Please note that I am looking for a stable (FXP) ROM, not necessarily the most recent one. As long as it's stable and offers the same functionality as CM 10, I'd be more than happy!
Information about the installation, might be useful:
I flashed the Sony stock ROM (.54)
In fastboot mode, I installed the boot.img from the Kumquat file using Flashtool.
Booted the phone, went in CWM and cleared the data/cache/something else - forgot name - might have also done a factory reset and then installed the zip file from the "SD card".
My phone is rooted, unlocked and has CWM.
Thank you all a lot in advance. Hopefully these issues can be solved, so that I can fully enjoy this ROM.
Kind regards,
Simen
@simensimen
FXP 216 is not found, according to this statement, focused on improving everything in CM 9
This build is nearly complete and should make it into the 9.0 final release on time.
Enjoy!

try install other keyboad (googke keyboard mayby)
Google keyboard
only developers can fix it
from what I've read FXP 10 has several errors, and there has been no development on that, it is best that you move to another ROM, but you have to open your mind and not only we want FXP, because there are good ROM Developer.
I recommend this

Hello,
Thank you very much for your answer.
The first link you refer to, is one that I already knew. The links go to the FXP download page and the one for CM 9 Kumquat is not available.
I had just found that link for the camera fix myself as well and it worked. That's great. However, to me, the biggest issue is °3.
Can you tell me if none of my issues exist in the ROM that you recommend? If so, I'll install it straight away!
Thanks again!
Kind regards,
Simen

is a pleasure to help colleague
I've never had to use corporate accounts, so I have an answer to that, so I can say you that it is very stable, everything works fine when I had installed had great performance for me, I had no problems syncing my emails normal.

DO NOT FLASH THIS ON A TOUCHWIZ ROM. AOSP BASED ONLY
This is a custom GApps package I created to work with x86 devices (namely, our tab) as the normal GApps packages available are arm-only. (and no, to those who would ask, it's not as simple as downloading PA-GApps and swapping the update binary. The actual files therein are NOT x86 compatible, namely, the libs.)
UPDATE 1: With the release of 4.4. for the P5210, I am pleased to announce that this is now a full, complete, stable GApps package
It contains everything found in the PA-GApps stock zip plus:
-Hackers keyboard
-Root browser
-Xperia home
note that Hacker's keyboard and Xperia home are just there in case google keyboard / google home don't work out of the box. I don't anticipate any problems, but just to be sure. After some feedback / testing i'll remove these if people want. Root browser however is here to stay.
UPDATE 2:
As of the 20140823 build, this is now a UNIVERSAL x86 GApps package, meaning it will work on ANY x86 device running 4.4.x with zero tinkering to the zip. I did this by using a slightly modified pa-gapps updater-script coupled with an x86 update-binary.
UPDATE 3:
The 20140826 build is mostly bug fixes. The updater-script in the 20140823 build was broken. This is now fixed. Google + was broken. This is also fixed.
Google keyboard was broken. This too, is now fixed.
Tested this build myself. All is well.
For those who want a ROM to try this with, head over to @moonbutt74 's thread "odds, ends tests". He posted a successful 4.4.4 build from a few days ago on i think the 4th or 5th post (though it is by NO MEANS dd ready. We're working on it)
DOWNLOAD LINK IS BELOW.
If you want to use this for any reason other than personal use, ask me first, unless you just want to include a link on your ROM thread. If you do want to include a link in your ROM thread, link to this thread, not the download link below.
Download link:FrankenGApps-x86-20140826
old builds:
20140823 build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140823.zip
The updater script in this build is broken. On top of that, if you fix it yourself, google + and google keyboard are borked.
20140814 build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140814.zip
This build only works with the tab 3 10.1.
Old legacy hackey build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140813.zip
there is absolutely no reason to flash the 20140813 build over newer builds. The 20140813 build is an unstable / hackey 4.2 gapps port, I'm just posting it for reference purposes. Naturally this build is unsupported. Please download the new build(s) from OP.
if i flash the build of 14th then i stuck on samsung boot logo. firmware was stock rooted deodexed 4.4.2. i have tryed it twice but always stuck on boot logo.

I was sameway, so I just downloaded the update from "sammobile" installed it and used " super Su from chailfire to get root also used root explore to take out the apps I did not need.
@evilspawnas
@ghforlife
Why did you flash this on a touchwiz rom?
This zip is meant for aosp based ROMs like cm11. (I tested this package on @moonbutt74's wip cm11 build, works like a charm)
Besides, TW Roms have GApps built in

Oh, sorry, but all the other devices have cm 11, it´s like my normal behaviour to flash gapps... shame on me
Just updated to 20140823.
As of now, this GApps package is universally compatible with all x86 devices running 4.4.x. Zero tinkering to the zip necessary.
Just updated to 20140826. This build fixes updater-script, google keyboard, and google +. Read "update 3" in OP for more info.
Nice
Another stone in building our road to CM11. Thanks.
I know many will used this update.
To be honest, I am forced to used the market, but try to stay away from C I A applications. I am sorry did I say C I A. My apologies it is the Alzheimer, I mean Google.

These gapps are 6 years old and for older versions of android. Go to opengapps.org for android 7.1.2 based gapps.
And also why do you need instructions? Same as all gapps just flash the zip after flashing the rom

I have a tab 3 10.1 WiFi so if anything pops up around these threads I always have a look.
The tablet is still working fine for me without any gapps on it as I've found gapps are extremely heavy on such an old tablet. Instead I opted for a microg installation and it works perfectly (even being able to play games like bullet force or fwd assault) but i mostly use it for reading and cooking and that kind of stuff which it is perfect for.

Owhh, i see. I put this rom on my tab: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3587761
It does lag sometimes, but i removed some of the GApps it came with. I mean, the second i removed playstore some other Google apps stopped working so i had to delete them too. It's a bit better, but i dont play games on it, it's still laggy i should've chosen another ROM but i guess this is fine. Which ones are you using? If you want we can talk in discord, or here if you want, which ever way you fele comfortable. I can share the apps i have and etc, since we have the same tablet, finally i found someone in 2020 having the same device as i have! Ha. I'm still here, so if you reply and i wont answer, i will answer later, i have schedule to follow that's why
Ill wait for your response, anywhere, if you want dm me here, chat in this thread or check my discord, send a friend request and tell me here ur name so I'd accept it. You can also find me in the XDA discord server.

Hey, where have you been?
I drop using my Wave long ago, even tho in the meanwhile I used it to watch some spanish streaming tv with the tv output on a crt tv, but now I want to change its OS with a nice version of android, to have a backup of my main android phone (a Vodafone Smart Mini/875 with jellybean 4.1.1) that's actually giving me some troubles.
So now I'm a bit lost, I already found and read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...t-android-roms-samsung-wave-gt-s8500-t2842566 where there's some kind of a list of the actual custom portings, but not all states the android version, besides it seems to not include the 5.* lollipop versions.
What I want to install is a complete and hopefully stable version, it doesn't need to be lollipop/5.*, expecially if it doesn't give any benefit except to being the newest/up-to-date but it eats more ram memory (that with only 512 Mb is an issue, the 875 have the same amount and with jb eats up more or less 400Mb~), and I need (almost) every feature available on Bada being present on Android too (like: tv output, camera button, bluetooth, wifi, 2g/3g/3.5g data/voice/txt, etc.).
I'm just asking to point me (/suggesting) to the right direction (thread/release) to the best or better options available for me.
Thank you in advance!
Man , i will answer you but you better do what i say , cause it is the only truth
Badadroid project start with a couple of an amazing developers , those formed the porting team
the first ROM to be ported to wave was developed by Rebellos and Volk204
after that Volk204 took the project by himself
so:
Any ROMs by volk204 are worth using
Any other ROM you see are just kang/copie of his work by some amateurs , and are without actual support (not if Volk204 doesn't fix the problem himself )
I recommend you using OMni rom 4.4.4 by volk204 and flash RIL fix from this post
volk204 said:
RIL update 20.12.2014 https://yadi.sk/d/kvYUiq6QdWSdD
- SMS fixes
just flash it via TWRP

Omni Lollipop are not for daily use , major problem with it ; is the low free memory , apps will just close , you can't use (for me Endomondo + Music ) it will work to certain point ; than Android will kill one of the 2 apps
Fellow my Guide , it has most of the thing you need
The complete Optimization Guide for Omni Rom (4.4 and Lollipop)
And in earlier this year an another Recognized developer here on XDA "Alberto96" got an interest in developing ROM for wave1/wave2
he released a nice ROM , and now the links are dead , but he is BACK and he is working on his trademark ROM "GearCM" for our wave and from what i see in the his Github , it gonna be awesome
So :
Best ROM now (actual one ROM exist , it is not like i will tell something new ) [ROM][WIP][NAND] Omni 4.4 - 11.12.2014 By volk204 (don not install Gapps)
Best ROM ( Future release ) GearCM by alberto96 fellow his GIthub https://github.com/Alberto96?tab=activity
so what are the other ROMs released by Rebellos and Volk204:
it been like this since the very earlier day of Badadroid
Bugs fix go along with ROM updates , they didn't work on the same android version , every couple and there a major bug fix come with the Cyanogen source update
So anything less than Omni 4.4 (11.12.2014) has more bugs .
i must mention
Senior member Hero355 he did work on a promising ROM (Smartkat) by he got busy with life and let the project unfinished . But his Bada 2.0 Turko Rom is just Great
Senior member BenzoX he did work on Dual boot (Bada/android) and Dual android rom boot, he did work on nand and sd ROM (he is also got busy and let some things not fixed ) s
some people are using this unfinished Alpha projects , what do you expect from their ROMs :crying:
there is nothing else you need to know
Kind regards :angel:
So now. With Liondroid, Omni 6.0, GearCM and omni 4.4.4 which one can be considered for a daily use?
In my opinion, if GearCM had a better communication management it would be the best.
if you do not mind the theme in Russian, then take a look http://www.badapps.ru/6081-ledenec-ot-djkoloda-dlya-samsung-wave-8500-i-853008242015.html
Looks promising. At the moment I'm trying liondroid (very smooth but I need further tests) but I keep your link for later.
Maybe you could see with the creator to put his version on xda?
What should I do, if after installing some gapps (not the ones from here) the phone goes with a black screen after starting omni? it only shows the notification bar

Omni 4.4 by volk204, but I figured it out, wipe some data in recovery and I could reflash the ROM again and flash other gapps.. but now, I'm having trouble with the Google play services last update , it's laggy.. I'm trying to optimize the rom with the guide by @ice_ice where there's a section to put the Google play services like it wasn't never installed...but I'm cannot find the option WAKEUP with the 3C Tools app to disable it, I can't disable other services of Google play services becase the phone it's so slow that it shuts down after a while and I can't make it...
Do you think that the YouTube App and whatsapp will work fine if I uninstall the updates? I mean, That would be easier to make, because the updates are killing the ram... It's my dad's phone, so he just need whatsapp, something to check the Facebook (I installed the lite version), YouTube and Something to open Gmail (any reasonable lite app for Gmail?)
Dsebas91 , I use the 4.4.4 by djkoloda without installing, gapps .
All the apps I downloaded in *.apk files.
Recommend YouTube_v4.1.47.apk .
Gmail I checked by logging into account from a standard browser.
Sync contacts with Google through a program of CardDav-Sync.
I'm deeply puzzled, and a bit annoyed my shiny new Z7 Max doesn't seem to have working infrared. I can see the thing, but software can't.
Bought the phone off Feebay, has a "Westone" logo on the back, along with China Mobile. ROM seems stock, shows as Android 5.1.1 and has no obvious bloatware.
The reception seems no better than on my old THL T6 pro, but the GPS is vastly better (can even get a lock indoors). Both hate having two sims (from the same provider) fitted - Another reason I upgraded, and another irritation, but one I can live with.
There was something about explore Nubia OS when it first started, and I'm used to KitKat, so there might be some tweaks or other away from stock I don't know of.
What's bothering me is I can't find any sign of an IR app on it, and anything I've downloaded just says the phone doesn't have an IR port.
Anyone got any ideas? Or known working/ stable roms where the IR *does* function?
I'm using MoKee, and it seems to work; can control my tv, which is all i've used it for. The app that comes with the ROM is called Infrared control.
This is the one I bought ebay.co.uk/itm/272424574812
I can't find any hint of IR software on the phone as it reached me, so will see if the seller can help (unlikely) and then.. Gasp.. invalidate my warranty by finding a rom that *does* operate the features the phone was sold as having.
I imported mine, but it also came running android 5.1 and with play store. Unfortunately I didn't try out IR before installing custom ROM, and can't remember if there was any IR app installed.
The app which comes with MoKee appears to be a Nubia app though.

I can't find a download for the IR app that came with the phone, so may as well go for a different rom I guess.
Are there any known/ annoying bugs in Mokee?
Nothing I've noticed, but there's some stuff I haven't tested, like second SIM, Bluetooth audio and tap to pay. Probably other stuff too. Do a backup first and you've got nothing much to lose.

I recieved mine yesterday from GearBest. It also has the Westone logo on it and aside from missing the IR app was also missing the FM Radio.
After a little searching around I found a German forum from where I downloaded the, what seem to been stock, apks.
Now my FM Radio is working fine, but IR is still not functioning. An IR Romote App sugested a library is missing....
P.M. If you want the links, since I cannot post them due to new member restrictions.
I wasn't worried about FM radio, but did notice there was no sign of it.
I looked around for the IR app, but kept getting rather suspicious looking, definitely not, IR things in disguise.. Sigh.
It sounds like you've made some inroads though, fingers crossed there's a solution to this (though slapping a non stock rom on isn't a problem, *if* all features work relaibly).
Edit to add:
I've found an official ROM and copied the control and control test apks from it.. But although the app loads/ runs, there's still no sign of life from the IR led itself. No doubt I'm missing something the OS requires, it's been a while since I played with these things (and I wasn't very good at it then!).
I have same problem i extracted from 3.84 romofficial the 2 apk ir control and zfm radio only radio works hope there is a solution out there....
I bought the phone from china bangood and no help is provided...
Infrared works on z7 Max bought from banggood on CM12.1 ROM (www.needrom.com)

this is the infrared apk (cn.nubia.control v3.0.1.1011) from the CM12.1 that works 100% in the CM12.1 ROM, you can try it on your ROM and see.
Note: - i beleive it has to be a system app but you can try installing as normal and see if it works, if not then you will have to make it a system app, also the Z7 Max has to be rooted to be able to do as below.
Here's how to make it a system app -
1). Install the attached app as usual.
2). use an explorer app like 'Root Explorer' and
move "ZTE_IRControl.apk" (which will very likely be in /data/app)
to /system/priv-app
then restart phone and then try the infrared app.

I can't install apk ..... Phone is rooted
---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
This apk doesn't install I have the phone rooted and my ircontrol.apk that I got from previous ROM I install it doesn't work then move it to system/priv-app reboot still not working I'm loving this phone but I don't like that ir is not working
I got mine from Banggood as well. Here's how I got both FM and IR working. All referenced apps unless otherwise stated can be found on Needrom under the Z7 Max section.
Phone needs to be rooted - use the utility "Z7 Max All In One Tool v3.3.0" to root and install TWRP, followed by SuperSU ZIP file from Chainfire via TWRP.
Extract the nubia_IRControl1.apk and nubia_ZFM.apk from the Stock ROM V3.89. Place them in your SDCard/microSD card.
Under Settings > Security - Allow installation from Unknown Sources, install the IR and FM APKs.
I used 3C Toolbox Pro from Play Store to move both apps to the system folder. Both runs nicely in the stock Nubia 3.96 that came on the phone.
Further on, I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working. Both the stock and RR ROMs were working nicely, I just wanted the latest security patch by moving to RR.
For starters thank you very much for your help I already root my device with kingroot and I copy the twoapks from previous ROM 3.89 and install them then made them system apps by copying them to priv-app with root explorer
The problem is that the IR still not working can you help me skittle bit more cause I don't won't to change ROM I like this 3.96 please advise...please
finally I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working...do you have a link of official rom 3.96??
Unfortunately I cannot find a download for 3.96, the latest available is 3.89 from Needrom.
hi
i too have the same issues, basically the IR has not been built into the lollipop rom. any help greatly appreciated as i love this rom
Radio is working on 3.96 but not ir only in RR nougat
Had other things take my attention off this problem - Glad to see lots of useful info in the thread now
I'd better get downloading and faffing.
One question team- if people can download the MIUI ROM from the official MI website, why there is a need of installing this firmware?
Is it different?
Can you guyz also realease MIUI with PICO gapps installed
I installed MIUI back because of every other rom was so unstable. I used TWRP to get back to official MIUI. have magisks too
Is there a way to DEGRADE my current Gapps to PICO?
this is to save battery and performance
I tried all the versions of miui (except chinese and I´ll never try) like official of course, miuihellas, miui.it, miuisu, miuiam, miui,eu, developer version, from a chinese forum (红米5 Plus MIUI9 8.3.18开发 主题破解 快如闪电 人脸解锁 高级设置 小爱同学 精品必刷), greatslon, minovo, miuipro, globerom and finally multirom http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2278183&highlight=redmi+5+plus and this is the best version for me and it has like some of the mentioned roms a minimal gapps just to make Google runs. Play Store, Gboard and GoogleQuickSearch are the three apps for the user but you can uninstall two of them.

I too came back to MIUI after tinkering with some random ROM's , while it seems like u tried all the MIUI ROM's i do not get how you went for MultiRom instead of MiuiPro. MiuiPro has awesome tweaks and extra options built into the system which makes the Mi experience a bit flexible. Please elaborate on why you chose MultiRom and list a few of its exclusive features ( if it has some ).
I think you're looking for a lightweight option, something like Xiaomi.EU
They base their development on the Chinese beta, so you'll be having the newest freatures. They remove all the bloatware that's by default in the ROM and the set of google apps that the rom includes is really small, so the ram usage is lower and there's more free storage space.
I don't know what you're looking for, but if you really need to have just pico o micro gapps, your best choice is a custom rom. MIUI is not a light product.

Well, the last version I tried was 8.3.29, I see that now is on 8.4.19 maybe there´s some improvement but I didn´t see any special in this version before but advanced reboot, theme store is in chinese and nor on the version mentioned above, my second candidate is miu.hellas from greece and greatslon that has bigger letters in statusbar.
Maybe the main reason is the stability, performance, time to response, battery, I love customise and I have more than 100 themes (I never find one perfect) and I have 31GB free yet and the rom is fast despite of this and by last ram management; when I leave an activity and after 4 hours is there waiting for me, also is important for me to enlarge all, icons, letters, display (not so bigger) how it looks visually in aspect/ratio cause in some roms I changed display size and looks really weird or some object don´t match with the border, it looks like they are out of display.
It´s pretty hard to say a definitive "this is the best" cause it depends in the user preferences, I didn´t find any special tweak in any rom like on Epic rom (a great and really customized) that I used in my last Xiaomi but unfortunately they don´t develop for this device
Checked, MIui PRO is not yet available for my phone... or either i was unable to find it cuz every page was written in Russian.
Can anyone share a direct link for me to download and install the MIui PRO on my Redmi note 5 vince
How to revert back to stock miui(Indian) and relock the bootloader ?
To relock bootloader you don't need to flash a rom but if you want then flash the rom via MiFlash Tool (XiaoMiFlash) and choose the 3rd option to relock bootloader right down (clean all and lock)
