[Retired ROM] Aphrodite 2.0.1 w/Xionia 010 (13apr11)

I am very interested in how this pans out and what will mean for our community.

Thank you for your efforts.
 
I've been experimenting with some new builds of this, the one I have ready is no nROM parts, just straight S and Xionia.

In terms of functions, it works a bit better, unfortunately, almost any overclock results in random restarts whenever you load up the processor. It also force kills a few programs.
 
I was working on getting xionia 013 running the stock +xionia before this morning. I finally got the accelerometer to work thanks to mmars but I went to take a picture and my phone rebooted. So I went ahead and wiped system and boot then flashed this ROM and now everything works. Native wifi hotspot, accelerometer overclock.... Only thing its I use overclock widget instead of setcpu. So thanks for all your hard work. :-)

Yeah, I gave a few devs the info a few days ago, I was hoping for more feedback on it than I got from them.

Mmarz had it at least somewhat figured out not long after I posted some info about it. Some (him too maybe), had been playing with it before as well. Some things can work out of the box, but fixing them lead to breaking other things. Fix this, that breaks, fix that, something else breaks. Getting it all going was the challenge. As for Mmarz, I don't think we have seen what he is capable of yet. :)

I was going to post how I did it yesterday, but I was stuck working an 18 hour day yesterday, by the time I got home I just wanted to sleep.


Expect lots of random restarts if you use the stock Xionia 013. As soon as the cpu peaks for more than a few seconds, it falls like a house of cards when overclocked. The nROM kernel is much more stable it seems.

I didn't have issues with restarts on 013 but I only overclock to 750 and I use overclock widget. Most folks use setcpu. I also tried many different things while trying to get 013 to work right.

One thing about this one, I noticed that the init.rc has one too many values entered for the memory management. You put 4096 twice.

I never touched init.rc.

The overclock may just be SetCPU. I know other other program force closes. Other people have noticed that some roms prefer different ones. Odd.
 
The interface is definitely laggy. There is some stutter when scrolling. I applied this mod and it took care of most of the lag:


I'm not sure what portion of it helped, but you may want to put some of these mods in the next release. Here is the source of the mods: [TWEAKS][UPDATED 30/03/2011 - IMPORTANT] Increase performance and battery life - xda-developers
But not all of those apply to the V.

I can't be sure but I feel like the accelerometer/screen rotation has some lag still.

I am using stock rom with xionia 013. where might I find a boot.img with init.d support so I can add the tweak script?

1. Make sure you are using my script file and not the one posted on XDA.
2. Run as root.

Here are the contents of the script:

MTD=`ls -d /sys/block/mtd*`;
LOOP=`ls -d /sys/block/loop*`;
RAM=`ls -d /sys/block/ram*`;

for j in $DM $MTD $LOOP $RAM;
do
echo 0 > $j/queue/rotational;
done

for i in `ls -l /sys/block/mtdblock* | tr -s " "| cut -d " " -f 6`
do
echo "noop" > /sys/block/$i/queue/scheduler
done
echo "noop" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

echo "4096" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;

setprop wifi.supplicant_scan_interval 300
setprop ro.lge.proximity.delay 25
setprop windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec 60
setprop dalvik.vm.startheapsize 8m
setprop ro.ril.hep 1
setprop ro.ril.enable.dtm 1
setprop net.tcp.buffersize.default 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
setprop net.tcp.buffersize.wifi 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
setprop net.tcp.buffersize.umts 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
echo 4096 16384 256960 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem;
echo 4096 87380 256960 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem;

It doesn't give me any errors.

I can make you a boot.img with init.d when I get home tonight if you want.

The file I uploaded became corrupt. I upped it again:mytweaks.sh

and fixed the original link. This should work.

that worked great ty. now to add it to init.d. also keyboard is a bit laggy. I am using a Gb keyboard from the market which was quicker on stock kernel. any suggestions to fix or another Gb keyboard app you know of?
 
2.0 is out.
No longer beta
Now using Zefies Xionia 008, which seems to be much more stable than 013.

Note that this has a different boot screen animation that was built into the kernel (Sprint animation). This does not stop you from using a normal boot animation. It just replaces one of the early LG logo screens. I have no way of changing this or removing it, but since it replaces the LG logo, it is not taking up extra space.

Also released is Aphrodite 1.3.3 Extra Pure, witch uses the original stock virgin Kernel for those with charging problems.
Both are based off 1.3.3, so they all have the malware patch and speed tweaks included.


As with all Aphrodite roms, you can just flash over older versions (of Aphrodite) in most cases without issue.

It should, unless I used up my allowance or something.

Edit:
I think we used up the allotted direct links.
Look for the "Click here to start download from MediaFire.."
 
I've used basically all the V roms plus a few of the S roms but I'm still a big noob and have 2 questions.

Can you switch around with roms/kernals and not have to reinstall every app?
I didn't know so I've been doing it everytime I switch which is time consuming.

Is there any noticeable difference between kernals?

Thanks for having patience with me :)

You can sometimes swap without redoing things, sometimes you will lose more space and sometimes it leaves something undesirable. Unless you know what they creator has done, follow what they recommend or wipe.


Get Titanium backup or Mybackup Pro (what I use) and learn to use it. I can usually swap in about 20 minutes. Including a quick backup and nandroid first.

Also, one thing I do, is I keep my 16gig card safe while playing, and use a 2gig for testing, that way when done I can pop the 16gig back in, run nandroid and go back, or restore from Mybackup pro if I want to keep it. All with little risk to my data. Also makes for a good time for backing up that card while I am playing.

If you are interested, I can provide hosting for the rom or other files you may need hosted. I can provide you with an ftp account as well.

Cheers
