xLoud Fix For Walkman (Workaround)

1. Go to Settings > Developer options > Enable Kill app back button
2. Open Walkman and play any song
3. Press menu > Sound Enhancement > Choose your settings and tick the xLoud
4. Long press back button to kill Sound Enhancement
5. No more sound reduce now.. 



Walkman FC when tap on "My Music"

1. Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Walkman > Clear Data
2. Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Media Storage > Clear Data
3. Wait for 5-10 minutes so that media scanner can scan the whole SD Card, there might be a corrupt entry of any music file which is preventing Walkman from functioning properly



ROM is very laggy and slow

- Go to Settings > Developer options > Untick "Force GPU rendering"
- "Windows animation scale" & "Transition animation scale" set to .5x
- Install Script Manager > Open the app and navigate to /system/xbin > Run flush script (Remember to click the SU button)



What is the best kernel to use with this ROM?

Every user use their phone differently, some are heavy user who love to push their phone to the limit, and some are just normal user who use their phone for calling and messaging only.
Every different kernel fulfill different conditions for different kind of users, so I will not give you suggestion for the "BEST" kernel, personally I am using Rush Kernel for my Xperia Arc and it works perfectly without any problems, but my suggestion for you would be "TRY and FIND OUT by your own".. 



Will this ROM better than XXX ROM?

NEVER compare ROMs, it is a kind of disrespectful to the ROM creator. If you want to know which is better, try it yourself.



How to install OTA update?

1. Settings > Viper Xperia Advanced Settings > System updates
2. Under UPDATES, if there is an update available then you will be notified
3. Download the updates, after "Download Finished" was shown, reboot to Recovery
4. In Recovery, Install Zip from sdcard --> Choose Zip from sdcard ---> sdcard/OTA-Updater/ViperXperia_OTA_Vx.x.zip
5. Reboot and done 



WiFi doesn't work after ROM install

Reflash Wifi modules downloaded from the kernel thread



The ROM is not rooted after updates

Download SuperSU binary installer (UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip) HERE then flash it in Recovery



xLoud™, Clear Audio™ and Sound Enhancement didn't work

Change another kernel, some kernel has some issue with this, Rush kernel works fine



Google Play Store didn't show purchased apps

Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Google Play Store > Clear data



Google Play Store unable to update apps with error

Remove your Google account > reboot > then sign in again to your account



I Installed Xperia Z Home with 4x5 drawer but it's still 4x4

Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Xperia Home > Clear data



Installed apps are missing in drawer for Xperia Z Home 4x4

Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Xperia Home > Clear data



Can this ROM install on locked bootloader?

Yes



Can this ROM install on XXX device?

This is for Xperia Arc,Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro & Ray ONLY



What is the Antutu/ benchmark score of this ROM?

I NEVER use Antutu or any other benchmark tools to determine the performance. Benchmark score can easily get cheated by overclocking, increasing memory read ahead or using different IO scheduler. I use my OWN observation to determine and experience how fast is the ROM.. remember BENCHMARK SCORE IS NOT EVERYTHING!!



How much free RAM in this ROM?

160MB and above, depends on how much background process are running, your Minfree setting and any task killer app installed. If you need more RAM, remove Xperia Home and install other launcher from Play Store, or just change you ROM to those BORING AOSP BASED ROM WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATION & MODS



Can I port this ROM or Advanced Settings to XXX device/ ROM?

Ask me by PM first before you trying to do so.. 



Can you add/remove XXX mods/themes into this ROM?

Well, I love suggestion but I hate request. The main objectives of my ROM is to give user the best experience with their phone in terms of graphic UI and also performance, there must be reason behind why I include or does not include XXX mods/themes into this ROM.

[ROM] [Update 09.10.2012] [Faster Than Ever] Droid ACE v2.1 [FireKernel OC]





Project... Droid ACE v2.1
Version... 091012 DroidACE v2.1--> CHECK 2ND POST FOR DOWNLOADS
Created by... masterex567
Based On... CM7 Unofficial RC3 by vo-1
Changelog, Extras + more... on 2nd post

================================================== =====

What's Up?
There are mainly three things almost every ROM Developer has in his/her mind. Those three important things are BatteryPerformance and UI. I've tried to combine all those elements to put them into one. Great Battery life and Performance from the Unnoficial RC3 Base, and UI from a modded Xperia S Theme.

==================================================

So What's New?

Well, When the Rom had it's initial launch, it started with an ICS Theme. I moved from the ICS theme because there are too many ICS Themed Roms, that's why i thought of coming up with something new. The xperia s theme is still onboard but modified heavily, with some ICS Theme Elements. Plus, this might be one of the few roms to have an Aroma Installer Onboard. Aroma Installer? What's that?? Just try flashing the rom in recovery, and you'll understand.  
==================================================
Screenshots, with no personal adjustments
These are screenshots from Droid Ace v2 150812
