Nov 20 Update: SMS Counter and CPU Control Honami Pure Black Ultimate Privacy with Honami Camera
Rom updated with extra features in settings. See post #46 for download and picture
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Fixed Rom Posted.
May I present to you Honami_PureBlack_Ultimate_Privacy rom with Honami Camera. This is a fork of my original projects for Xperia ION and S. The roms, Aoba_PureBlack and Nozomi PureBlack, had multiple positive reviews: see ION and S development sections.
Description:
100% black
Deodexed, Rooted and Busyboxed
Totally debloated including Google junk (third party GAPPS work, confirmed), social media, update, idd client, r2r client and others
Honami framework, apps and widgets
Honami home with extra spaces in dock and 6X5 drawer
Honami small apps (user needs to add them on small app bar)
Honami camera (manual mode)
Honami keyboard
Phone, Contacts, Calendar, Calculator, Settings, Quick Settings and others - black
On board choice in Quick Settings for black/white background
Textsecure, K9mail, Naked Browser (free version) and Adaway included
Led Control in Settings
Dock settings (for Sony original dock)
Brighter Leds
Data/Wifi fast
Correct battery values in build.prop and framework-res.apk
Latest SemcVideo and Album
Stock Camera removed and replaced with Gallery 3, which is faster than stock and works independently from honami camera
Setup Wizard disabled as it hangs in ram
APN file includes ready to go settings for multiple countries including US T-Mobile and AT&T, thanks to Cyanogen guys
Smooth Transition Animation even if Animation set to off in debugging
About 350 mb ram available
No rapture, vengeance, revolution, thunder or tweaks that claim speed, but in fact cause instability and battery waste
Long battery life: over 30 hours on a single charge

Install Instructions:
1. Back up your current rom. Keep in mind that after flashing, you will have to reinstall CWM, as this is stock kernel.
2. Have latest JB stock kernel, Root and CWM
3. Enter recovery, mount System, Cache, Data and Format each (don't just do data erase/reset, it is not enough)
4. Flash the rom
5. Fix permissions (optional, but wouldn't hurt)
6. Reboot and let the rom settle
7. Go to Settings/Display/QuickSettings, you will have a pop up asking which app to use. Select QuickSettings for black or SystemUI for white background. You want black since this is a black version
8. After connecting to WIFI and testing browser, go to WIFI/Advanced and select Keep WIFI While Screen Sleeps "Always"
9. Enjoy the rom
10. Hit Thank you if you like it.
Instructions for Honami Camera
1. Put camera widget on home screen
2. Press the dinosaur
3. Press another dinosaur on bottom left
4. Choose Manual
From now on, you can start camera the usual way
Superior Auto doesn't work. If you touch SA, photo image stabilization or 2mp resolution, you will get black screen or f/c. To remedy, just exit and restart camera the usual way (by pressing camera button)

Why don't you just flash jb latest ftf file. Uncheck/exclude everything, but kernel.
Flashed it and getting "internal storage damaged" at first boot. Asks me to format it.
Same on 2nd boot.

Sadly the worst rom I have ever flashed. Laggy, buggy and seems like an alpharelease.
Flashed stock and no error with storage now.

My phone cant boot into fastboot mode, dont know why and got error while install the driver for fastboot. ANW, I figured it out.
Installed your rom but it said internal storage is damaged.
same problem here...laggy

1. Did you do mount system/cache/data and format each or just data erase and settings reset? Because the latter only gets rid of user data and settings. Your system apps and many others stay and interfere.
2. What is buggy other than internal storage?
3. It says in OP "Testing" as I don't have Acro.
It may be a porting issue, therefore, any input is appreciated.
"the worst rom" : I have seen roms that initially result in no boot or bootloop and yet this one is the worst? Remember, this forum is by developers for developers, as opposed to developers for users...
Yes, mounted and formatted each.
The screen with all the apps installed had a square that was darker than the rest, and icons were outside the screen.
Didn't get a celluar connection either.
Beside that it was running Windows 8 on a IBM Personal Computer XT at times.
The worst rom I have managed to get running.

Seeing new roms is always good...
Developers spend a lot time and effort in developing the rom...
Reporting bugs and giving them logs would help...
This is XDA, we should give the developers some credit!!!

becuase mark deleted it on xda and put it on a Russian development site
not russian
german
does anybody have the german site where mark moved? it's worth following if he continues to develop quality xplay roms albeit in german. (we can always use google translate)

The intro says:
Hello Android community! I'm an advanced developer of custom roms on XDA.
I'd like to continue my Xperia Play Z rom here. The rom will be available on Android-Hilfe.de starting today (May 4th 2013).
I've invested a lot of time and I hope you appreciate it more than the XDA community.
Instructions:
1. Download the rom and put it on your SD card
2. Also download R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf (link on german site)
3. Flash the .ftf file using flashtool.
4. Unlock the bootloader (link on german site is... you guessed it, german)
5. Download Lupus Stock ICS&GV v4 kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167766
6. Flash it using fastboot with the command: fastboot.exe flash boot xxx.img (don't forget to put your phone into fastboot mode)
7. Now go to recovery: press the volume down after the vibration
8. Go to install a zip and find the rom.zip you downloaded
9. The first boot takes a while, be patient
Hi, I have tested the v.1.1.0, and debloated it a lot to see if I can get more free ram to play real racing 3 on this Rom, but I can't get more than 120/130Mb, if you guys got more than this, could you help me please??
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
this rom has 100 mg of ram reserved for gaming so it means you have 220-230mg free of ram
Mark has just recently released v1.2.0
Changelog:
PSPocket removed
Send anonymous user status removed
Several duplicates deleted
Browser replaced by Chrome WALKMAN, album and movies updated to latest version
New Sony sound driver
Odekaka. Apk, DTCIPlayer. Removed
New scripts for more stability
it's one of the better ICS. i tried it and everything worked fine (except display bug in the timer app - but it's a theming issue from the z version i guess).
but don't expect a fluid experience like on GB. it comes quite near but for every day use i need to spare every second i can.
version 1.1 ran real racing really good for me. fluid. does not feel it falls behind GB. every 3d game should run fine. but in CPU intensive tasks like emulators (N64, PSX) - GB is the way to go if you don't want to overclock and loose battery life.
krisdee's hybrid rom also looks promising. if someone want to try ICS i would recommend those two.

v1.2.0 is a little buggy and seems slow but the An Tu Tu score is higher ,also Mark announced he's working on v1.2.1.
My advice is stay on v1.1.0 as it is more stable or wait for 1.2.1
UPDATE: Mark is no longer working on v1.2.1, he's moving straight into v1.3.0 (Maybe Final)
Overall v1.2.0 works pretty good but the inclusion of Chrome as default browser makes it more unstable because it uses more ram than the ICS standard browser.
Maybe v1.1.0 is a little more balanced and stable.

I'm curious to know if you had any problems with link2SD on v1.2.0. Because whenever i reboot i get the following message:
Right now I'm not using Link2SD.
Using Phoenix rom and Lupus ICS&GB v5 kernel before flashing the Xperia Play Z rom I have 610MB of internal data storage so moving apps to the SD card in the classic way it's fine for me.
can anyone compare games performance with gb?
task switcher was slow as hell and for every day usage i was not satisfied.
already tried 1.2.0+gb&ics v3...good theming everything works but...this rom is a mess,took me 1 hour to debloat it.working smooth on the "home" screens.
gaming not so good real racing 3 lags...luncher got killed too often becuase of the "100 mb reserved" thing.
when you open the apps list the transition between screens is not smooth.and i checked and its rom fault.becuase the home screens are smooth and overclock is not helping.
1.1.0 is better?real racing 3 lags?how much free ram the 1.1.0 have?

In my opinion v1.1.0 is better as it is more stable.
I'm not sure if real racing 3 lags, but i play need for speed most wanted and it runs smoothly.
I get around 150mb of ram free using Memory Booster but i use tasker and other programs that constantly run in the background so you might be able to get more

DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS ROM AS IT HAVE A BUG OF ALWAYS CRASHING "android.media.process" NOW I AM BUSY WITH MY M.S ADMISSION PROCESS SO I CAN'T DO MUCH FOR THIS....JUST FOLLOW THE ROM TWEAKING GUIDE AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN
GAPPS IS ALSO PRESENT AT ABOVE LINK
It's running very good on my device, only issue caused was "Android.process.media" stopped..it's B'coz of improper cleaning before installing the ROM.
You guys do a clean install and it'll be nice ...the original File is of 245MB and the one which is on my Link is just 190MB
unfortunately no new kernel I tired to flash the new kernel image onto it but the Wifi module is not running so enjoy as it is
Keyboard is present this time unlike the last one...

OLD CONTENT of thread
20.07 tested the modified ROM its Running very smooth but experience some sluggishness because of that I didn't uploaded it yesterday
(20.07 @ 11:50 IST) NEW ROM TESTED AND ITS RUNNING GREAT
No bugs what so ever
1.REMOVED : ANTI-SPAM, Backup, Backup_restore_confirmation, Browser,Bug_report, Cloud Service, E-MAIL, Exchange, LatinIME (Google keyboard), MiUi_HOME, Theme Manager, Voice_Dialer, Weather, Weather_Provider.
2.ADDED : ActionLuancher Pro(it was there in 19.07 but it is causing much lag so removed it), ADW_Launcher, Google TTS
one important thing is there THIS ROM DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KEYBOARD the reason is that when i try to put them in ZIP and installed it I am getting an error showing "GoogleKeybaord stopped/ Sywpe stopped" instead I've given two separate .apk of Google_Keyboard(Gesture) and Swype(modified apk)
after installing the ROM, when you boot into it select English then skip the network and location settings (REMOVE SIM CARD TO AVOID MOBILE DATA CONNECTION as it will cost you if you are not subscribed for any data pack), Now goto file manager and install any one keyboard you like.
THE SIZE OF NEW ROM+Gapps is 179MB and the Original size was 201MB

#if you are on Modified one that is, the one which I've shared will not cover OTA

Actually, on V5 for both DEFY and DEFY+ on MIUI.com you can see this: Author: DreamTeam
On the other hand, for V2 on the DEFY page it says: Author: MIUI
That's what's confusing me... I'll try it anyway, hopefully it's much better than the previous builds (which were all ports afaik...)!

will your rom work on defy also, when we can expect it? I see that it has a separate miui v5 download link for defy and defy+...
Previous releases were supposed to be private.
3.7.12 is the unofficial public release.
Defy and Defy+ each have their own release, but they should be the same. They probably separated them to prevent people from asking why there's only one release for both phones.
Why are you even asking? Both versions are available, just download yours!
I ask beacuase I would like to test coolshahabaz version without unnecessary apps....

I tried 3.7.12 from miuiandroid and I get no sound when calling someone. I have to turn hands-free on to hear something.
The ROM is less snappy than mokee but it looks great. The no sound bug I face is quite ugly, though.

Because of all the slowdowns in kitkat, I decided to give ICS another try.
Specs:
-Based on CyanogenMod 9
-With Mackay kernel (updated to 3.0.101, updated governors & schedulers, XL RAM some other nice stuff):
https://github.com/kasperhettinga/samsung-kernel-aries/commits/mackay-cm9-2014
-TWRP 2.2.2.0
-no 720p possible, XLMem (do not ask for other flavours, I just make a one-flavour option tuned for smoothness)
Download:
https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/kasperhettinga/sgs/rom/pre-KK//
Gapps:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
This are the latest official gapps. Newer gapps can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.om/showpost.php?p=50748003&postcount=135
(I haven't tested this package, I also don't think latest gapps is relevant, as gapps get updated through Play Store anyway)
Install:
-From existing CM9: install on top + flash gapps
-From any jellybean ROM: you can try to install it on top, but it may result in bootloops, requiring flashing GB through Odin (see below for next steps). Flash ROM. Flash gapps.
-From stock Samsung GB: install CF-ROOT-CWM kernel, or any other CWM containing kernel. Flash ROM. Flash gapps.
You need to flash gapps on every new build, backup/restore of gapps does not work yet!
If you have space issues, you can use a solution to bind /datadata to /data partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50653795&postcount=55
THIS IS NOT AN ADVICE TO DO THIS! I do not like this solution, as it will slow down your phone (especially with the slow internal memory chip). And it goes against my lean & mean philosophy for this ROM. Therefore: please think well before doing this!

Are there any cherrypicks from CM10/11 or other aosp based builds to this interesting project?
woah .! ?
Few bugs:
1. About Phone - CM Upader = FC Settings
2. Preformence = No schedular option
Runs smooth and excellent.

Wow, that was totally unexpected! Thank you very much! @kasper_h I was wondering: does your rom use the older partition layout, that was introduced in ics, which caused datadata to be full, or the jb one? It would be awesome if you switched to the newer partition layout *.*

You remember it wrong
ICS always had a small system & small datadata partition, both on the fast Onenand. This was actually the fastest layout I ever worked with. The changes in layout all happened in jellybean. And I will not start using jellybean partition layouts: I strive for speed and simplicity, which fits perfectly with the ICS layout.

1. No 720p support at all or only 720p recording is disabled but 720p playback still works?
2. If there's no Performance->Scheduler option in ICS, can schedulers be selected using other ways?
3. zRAM , KSM are still there ? (sorry I am used to your KK kernel)
Ty!

1. 720 playback should work, but I didn't check and I don't have my phone here now
2. Yes, any cpu tuning app like nstools can be used
3. zRAM is on the to-do list, KSM should already work

Alright then I have a problem though: I can't donwload any apps from the Play Store, also, it won't update itself. The error I get when I try to download something is 403
WOOOHOO!
My dreams came true, it actually happened!
You know, I was testing out CM9 a few times and I noticed huge improvements in smoothness and stuff like that, but the most impressive thing that I realised was that the chrome browser was not lagging at all! I think this means something!
I just have a few questions:
Is it possible to port CMA here? (it's not really necessary, I'm just wondering)
Aaand what about all those super cool features from Omni ROMs? Is there any way to port those? (again it's not necessary at all, I'm just asking)
Anyway I hope the development of this ROM will continue. Going to install this right away! :laugh: :good: :good:
If you'll continue working on this ROM and we'll continue using it, we can make together the fastest and the best ROM ever made for our SGS, I believe!
The guys. Collect this ROM for Vibrant. Please!
Wow, our aging i9000 gets an encore ICS build!
What a joy! I will try!
I have a question regarding my old official CM9 nandroid backup done with Semaphore 1.3.0: is it worth trying to advanced restore only its data with Sema 1.3.0 to this ROM, and then flash this ROM over it to retain Mackay kernel back and my beloved TWRP with it?

Google Play Store is not updating itself aswell. Got the same problem with 403 . Coming from Android 4.4.2, I've flashed an Android 4.3.1 kernel, reboot to recovery, flashed CM9 twice, full wipe with system format, flashed Mackay CM9 and ICS gapps. Full wiped and system format, flashed the ROM again with gapps and the 403 error was still there. Then I've tried to go back to CM11 and the 403 error persisted.
Went back to stock GB and rooted it using Odin3 and then flashed Mackay CM9 and ICS gapps, now 403 is not showing up but another error appeared (921) and I've tried to clear data for Download Manager, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, removed my Google Account and rebooted. Then I've re-added the Google Account and now the 403 error reappeared.
@kasper_h got any ideas ?

-CMA is not worth it, would hardly give more free RAM.
-Due to major overhauls in Android between ICS->JB->KitKat it will be nearly impossible to port anything back. Also, my motto for this ROM is lean & mean.

My play store is working and was updated automatically. I could manually install apps, and some gapps (TTS, Search) were updated fine as well. Maybe try deleting Play Store data, as that seems like the best way in any Android revision to solve Play Store issues.

Why dont make 4.4 fastest :/
Rom updated. Compiled from Cyanogenmode latest sources on April 29. All fixes (battery/audio/wifi) incorporated in code before compiling, so there is no need to decompile individual apps. Also, I have changed default network from WCDM to LTE/GSM, which means that your phone should connect to LTE/4G right on reboot.
CHANGES: Numerous ranging from improving network to better ram management. If you look at commits, they go between 4 days to 6 months old.
Remember, this is not a port or cooked up rom, it has been fully compiled from sources. Enjoy.
SOURCES: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android/tree/jellybean
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is another CM10 rom for IONs with locked bootloaders. This one is based on original CM10 experimental build by Jenkins. So, it is a slightly different build from that of FXP based MrGezz's one.
Changes:
1. Rom completely rebuilt
2. All my patches (Wifi/Battery) included, so, no need to flash anything post installation
3. Google Analytics disabled
4. Newer Camera and Gallery included
5. Dock enabled in Settings (I think)
6. A few stock alarm, ringtones and notification sounds added
7. All apps re-signed with the same key to fix bootloop
BUGS: same as in all CM based roms
CREDIT: Cyanogen Team; MrGezz/Letama/Olivier for initial LB patch
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fresh Install (recommended)
1. Have JB latest Stock Kernel, Roger's Baseband in case of LT28i, Root and Recovery
2. Format System/Data/Cache in TWRP or Mount and Format the same in CWM
3. Install the ROM and Reboot. Nothing else is needed
If you are already on CM-10 by Mr.Gezz, you might be able to restore your Data partition. In this case, after
initial installation steps above:
1. Reboot, let the rom settle, then restart the phone and go to TWRP
2. Restore your previously backed up CM-10 rom: DATA ONLY!!! The only thing you might have different is if you had a different SU app, you now might have two. In this case, delete the one you are not going to use. Although, this method should work fine, the preferred way is always: Fresh Install
WARNING!!! Back up your rom prior to new install. As usual, I am not responsible for bricking your device, cold war, WW3 or total annexation of your country by mother Russia (which may happen anyway regardless of this install). If you dare to complain after this fair warning, I will forward your grievances to Mr. Putin.
P.S. I have not tested this version of the rom on the phone, but the original CM10 version by Jenkins works fine with LB patch. Also, I have confirmed that re-signing all system apps gets rid of bootloops when patched framework and settings apps are incorporated in the rom. But again, don't forget to back up your current rom.

Thanks for the browser.
Had problems with the CM file manager. After transferring to system/app and changing permissions, the file manager force-closed. And from this point on, it FC'd every time I tried to launch it. And also started getting random calendar app FC toast when I wasnt trying to run the calendar app.
I re-flashed the rom and got this done with root explorer and now there are no FC's.

You do need to instal the original web browser unless you use something else. Google Analytics? You decompile an app, go to the corresponding XML file and change "true" to "false." Or if you want to delete it you delete several files...

For future reference, please tell me the right way to set permissions. Would rebooting into recovery and setting permissions this way be safer? I don't have a strong background in these things but I am happy to follow instructions.
Also, I installed xperia_launcher3.apk that I found on xda. Its a light 1MB launcher and sort of gives me best of both worlds in terms of sony appearance. Do you recommend making this a system app and removing trebuchet or will trebuchet just be sleeping while xperia launcher is running as the default?

No. There is a lot more to it. Just search xda on how to decompile an app.

Don't ever fix permissions on custom roms for locked bootloaders, you will never boot. With the new launcher installed, try to freez trebuchet, if everything works, then delete it. Yes, it makes sense to put the launcher in system with right permissions.

the one down side so far is that the unread counter is a separate app that isnt free. I didnt buy it.

Then how do you fix permissions on a custom ROM? I've found that fixing permissions every few months fixes forced close (FC) problems.

You can't fix permissions on a custom rom for locked bootloaders. If you don't install rougue apps, there is no need to fix permissions. If you experience f/cs, you should clear settings in individual apps. If that doesn't help, you could try to restore system partition of your rom (of course it needs to be backedup first).
~EDITED~
Update Posted September 26 2014:
Numerous fixes and additions:
Added Slimbean Extras including Email, Exchange2, Launcher2, Music2 and VideoEditor
Camera delay is positively fixed - absoultely no delay
Removed FM radio which does not work
Instructions:
I always prefer fresh install.
You may try, if you wish and if you already have the previous version, to flash this on top;
If you are doing fresh install, see original instructions (full wipe).
P.S. When you boot for the first time, you will get:
1. Notificaiton that email app stopped (disregard it, the app will work without any further messages)
2. Notification that SU binary should be updated: follow instructions
Regarding bootloops: Do a fresh install, which is always preferred. Also, remember, custom roms based on Cyanogen want all system apps signed by the same key. If you have SU or any other app that you installed in the system (and then flash update on top) that means that those apps are signed by different keys, which would result in a bootloop during subsequent updates. Do research and learn about not messing with system apps. Neither SU nor any other app needs to be installed in system. Also, the same applies if you decompile and mess with a system app - once you re-compile the app, you'll have to sign it and your key is different, which again means bootloop.
Also remember that this rom is designed to work with Stock JB 4.1.2 kernel only. If you have an unlocked bootloader and custom kernel, you will get bootloop and/or other issues
Before posting this update, I reformatted my phone and did a fresh install: no issues. You know what it means: I don't want to hear about bootloops.
____________________________________________________________________________
Rom checked on my device: boots 100% in about 25 seconds. Just re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.
Slimbean latest release built from sources on September 6, 2014. This is for IONs with locked bootloaders. This is not Kitkat, it is based on JB 4.1.2, which is ages more stable.
Changes:
1. Open source Launcher Advanced (one of few open launchers)
2. Terminal and FM radio added (were missing in original release by Olivier)
3. Battery/Wifi fixes incorporated in code prior to building
4. Radio menu fixed (now when you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone, you no longer get F/C)
5. Default network changed to LTE
The phone seems snappier than with the original release, perhaps because the rom was built on Gentoo, which is the best Linux around. But maybe it is just placebo. You decide.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Be rooted, have Recovery and JB 4.1.2 kernel
2. Enter recovery, wipe System/Data/Cache (remember factory reset is not enough)
3. Flash the rom, reboot and let it settle, which shouldn't take long
4. Enjoy and press thank you or perhaps donate...

Thanks for the rom. I just flashed it and rebooted.. the screen is stuck on the slimbean logo for over 10 minutes.. the slimbean logo is flashing normally as if its about to load. You think something went wrong and I should interrupt it?
EDIT: So i interrupted after about 12 minutes by holding power and volume up keys and entered twrp to go back to previous rom. Will try back later.

Sorry to ask again but can we have INLINE/INVOICE CALL RECORDER like the one seen in your honami ROM. I think it was a part of 0.96w fw jellybean 4.1.2. I really need it and so do others too

Rom re-uploaded: works fine
I checked the rom and it boots on my ION fine. Re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.
Downloading, will try tomorrow after school is out. Thank you Optimum you and your damn roms tempt me as much as i tell myself to stick to stock after CM10 had quite a few issues on my end i guess.
Also on a side note if you need mirrors, I can make two or three.

Ok, I'm slowly catching on. I switched from iPhone a couple of months ago and had gotten an HTC One which I unlocked the boot loader, did the S-Off and rooted. I run AOKP on that phone and the xperia was a backup to carry when I'm running or cycling. As it turns out, my wife's iPhone is messing up so I've put a sense rom back on the One. She likes getting that feed screen and all. Now the Xperia is my main phone. I guess Honami is the Sony equivalent of proprietary like sense is to HTC.
I've found I like the Sony's and will probably replace the HTC with a Z1 or Z1 compact but I need to do some research as unlocking the boot loader is a requirement. It wasn't so important on the ion due to its purpose, plus I couldn't find an I or H at a reasonable price.
I realize I've gotten wordy and a touch off topic and apologize.
I'll keep my eyes out for a camera and as for the multi tasking, I forgot there's an xposed app that may allow some multi tasking.
I really do appreciate the ROM and am especially grateful to the dev of this rom for making it usable on a locked boot loader.
