I installed this ROM on a Vivacity phone using Clorkwork Mod with no problems. Installed Holo Launcher to replace the XperiaHome launcher, installed various apps and the power settings widget to my home screen.
I connect the phone to PC with USB cable for copying files to/from SD card etc. but after ejecting phone from PC, XperiaHome is back as default launcher, all shortcuts and the widget have gone.

If I re-install Holo Launcher, my shortcuts come back but not the widget. This happens every time, any suggestions? I've also re-installed the ROM but it had no effect.

I do like this ROM, far better than the stock one and its seems pretty stable (I've only been using it for a few days). Thanks.

I use nemus launcher and it works fine, do you have Holo Launcher installed on your SD card?

Yes, launcher installed on SD card. When installing apps I'm given option of installing to phone or card, I've been choosing card (SD card is partitioned).
I've re-installed Holo Launcher to the phone and it seems to be working OK now.

I'm guessing this is to do with A2SD GUI thats installed with the ROM. If any other apps misbehave, I'll re-install to phone. This is my first android phone and I've still a lot to learn.
I just wanted to root the phone to remove some of the pre-installed crap etc but nothing worked other than installing a custom ROM. Getting CWM to work was fun (not) on Windows 7 64-bit.

Thanks for the reply, it's appreciated.

I've been runnig this ROM for the last two weeks and it is AFAIK the best GingerBread ROM for the Vivacity. Thanks iharrybao!
Only two things I had to fix: had to add the SIM toolkit (thanks Raverrrr!) and change the keyboard app (no biggie, just sayin').

Great work!

hello to iharrybao just like to say a big thankyou for the Custom Rom much appreciated.

I was using Fish'N'Chips rom for about a month or so, but had to remove it as it kept restarting my phone randomly and cutting off calls. So i did some searching on modaco for another custom rom, ive tried CM9 but didnt like it much, CM7 seemed reasonable but still i had issues with that. Then i came across your Rom i was a bit dubious at first, but thought why not

Anyway installed your rom Via Clockwork along with the stock Vivacity Kernal from a post somewhere on modaco, and everything works perfect!!!
Was slightly spun out after first boot with foreign text but it auto changed to English so bonus, after changing location settings and customising the look etc i tried the Camera (Front & Back) both worked fine compared to the above mentioned roms with the non working or upside down cameras. Your Rom is very quick loads up in seconds, and everything like i said works the keyboard for messaging is perfect (for english dictionary press the 'Abc' button) after some messing say about 2 hours of installing apps and fiddling lol im very very satisfied with this Rom, and i think its going to be a permanent rom for me.

48 hours of use so far and still no issues 10 out of 10 for this rom much appreciated. iharrybao

where might i find this kernel for OSF2?

[dimi89]

@Timmy123 hire is OverClocked kernel for SFII >>> http://www.modaco.co...erclock-kernel/

And hire you have stock kernel for SFII>>> http://www.modaco.co...ded-gb-rom-r2a/

[Timmy123]

ahh thanks dimi89  

iv been using this rom alot lately and i think its probably the best so far. much more functional and stylish than the fish n chips rom

only two questions now  

i flashed the overclocking kernel, i understand it alows you to use an overclocking app if wished, but did the kernal ramp up my clock speed by default?

also i cant find the boot animation zip when looking through the phones files (i am rooted) as i wanted to change it. whats it called? or has it been intergrated / cant be changed?

thanks

I decided to test this out whilst I was at work today and so far it's good. Just going to mess around with it a bit more and it might become my daily rom!

Good job.

Just wondering if it's possible to change what it says at the bottom of the notification drawer (Where it says 'Atomic')?

Hi Josef....

Can I ask where you got the stk.apk?? is it the one from Fish&Chips 7??

and is it just a matter of copy/pasting it into /system/app, and setting permissions to rw-r--r-- ?? without any other installation??

Also, can the Root File Manager be replaced or made show English in menus and prompts??

Same to a lesser extent to the Xperia Launcher, which also shows quite a bit of Chinese, with no option to change to English as default....

Also, how about MD5 Checksums for the downloads, and some more details as to what is included in the ROM??


I know your Chinese Harry , but I thought this was for daily general usage??  I'm Irish!!!


But, very good, fast ROM, and definitely better than F&C 7....hope you don't mine the small criticism.....

[BTW.....FNC 6 was great] peace raverrr, etc  




Edit.........just to say that the stk.apk from raverrs ROM [fnc7] worked as described above....

and I replaced the Chinese File Explorer with ES File Explorer (Root)...

I may replace the Launcher, but for now, I like the Xperia launcher.....can this be got with English language as default??

Also installed alternative KB.....ICS from Market.....but still have the original as I don't know what would happen if I uninstalled this system app???

I used SystemApp Remover for the above tasks, which allows you to remove system apps, and replace with downloaded user apps.....

BTW......the over clock kernel and No Frills CPU should also be recommended, with CPU Spy....

My settings are......

1.018GHz....no resets
Min....122MHz
SmartassV2 Governor
Noop scheduler

And it flies!!!!!!......Battery seems good.......for this phone!!!!

I will report further if I find anything new to report......cheers!!!!
