Hi all..wanna change my hd2, too much heat for me, dont have any bad blocks, but i cant manage to get i stable with any kind or rom, or kernel (with normal voltage too). So, i ve sadly decited to change the king with an android native phone.. i love htc sense, and i wanna buy sensation (cant the new one series, too much expensive here in italy), but the battery for me its underpowered.. the atrix tough have a big battery 1930mah.. dont care about photo and video i know that sensation do better photos, but atrix do good photos too.I use the phone for im, fb, sometimes photo, and alot of text..so i ask you guys what phone you Recommend? the battery life wins over the other tings, and the lcd must be in a range of 4.0-4.3

I'd go for the Sensation, purely because it looks awesome and HTC Sense is quite a nice looking UI. My friend owns one running Android Revolution HD (ICS Sense 4.0) and it's extremely smooth. It's all up to what you need though. If you posted this in a more general forum you would get far more responses
no.. i wanna have advise from yours.. we know merits and defects of the king..only we know who can be the successor of this king ;( so sad.. its the best mobile ever had.. i want it in the first day.. but i had only 300 euro savings.. so opted for the unluky tsunagi tg01.. later for samsung wave 2 (OMG) and i was luky.. i changed w2 with the hd2 for free with a friend.. the king ;( so now nevermind, the underpower battery and the overheating problem mess me up XD think should buy a sensation.. sense its so sexy :Q

Well would you even be interested in trying to fix the problems you are having now or do you just want a new phone and be done with it?
What exactly is the problems you are having besides the heat condition? I've only noticed this a couple times and its normally while playing
rich graphic games for over 20-30 mins or so.
I would say that an older ROM that works flawlessly would be RAFDROID HD. A newer ROM that still runs quite nice is the Energy ROM.
I've found no random reboots, over heating issues or crashing/freezing up with these and both have been a great running ROM for me.
hi htc craze tested rafpigna, tested energie, dorimanx, sense 2.0, 2.1, my hd2 freeze up and went hot i any condition..with default voltage its quite better, but phone reach up fast 40+ C. I installed any kind of rom, and any of that have overheating issue...my htc is secondheand for 2009.. dont know if previous propretary overcloked alot this phone and damage the cpu.. but ist usable for text and ims.. but not for calls.. i need for a stable phone.. for now, i w8 for mwakious rom, if this dont work, its time for the hd2 to be the companion of the unlucky tg01, in the desk XD tx alot, i ve appreciate your help
sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand
ps: no, if i can manage to repair my phone, i will stay with it...thinking about to buy a new motherboard if this can help me, and i this dont cost too much XD
my excitement died out as soon as i got the new ics update, thought it would have some better features , rather i got face unlock not working in dark and some new settings to play with , tried to fiddle with new settings but the excitement just is dying i was expecting some features like camera app from unlock, taking photos from recording and some extra bit of features which would help me in my day to day life
i dont use the formula match do u in your day to day life use formula match, and shape match..?? s note is a good app but...
i am not a expert user and am afraid to flash new roms because of bugs
Same here. Not much stock features in ICS because of TW.
Here too. Not happy with the ICS upgrade. Nothing much and a horrible battery life in return.
Yep totally agree I had a better experience on my x10 with an ics Rom...there's so much more they could have achieved with such a good device..and for the battery that's another story...bak to gb for me..

I felt the same as you, all the ICS custom ROMS are plain and boring, i found it laggy and unstable with too many FCS but when I came across ParanoidAndroid, I could not go back to GB With the tablet mode enabled, i feel like my device is on a whole new level.
Give it a go! Battery life is excellent, restored all apps from Google Play Store from 45% now down to 37% with over 10 Apps restored including its settings etc..
Love the smoothness of this ROM!
The only thing I was interested in was gpu, and multicore support throughout, thats made such a massive difference o the device. All the other features of ics, you can get by installing a different launcher. Pretty much every new android update there's normally only a handful of features that you can't get already by downloading app from the play store, and rooting. Thats the beauty of android apple users always say android is fragmantated because we don't get the updates, but what tey don't realise is most often features google implement are taken from custom roms, launchers, apps or rooting and using a mod created on here. At android you don't need the new os if you want new features.
i was hoping for the same ICS as the galaxy nexus has
i have been trying apex launcher as its quite close to the ics on the nexus
but a few things i dont like - cannot edit apps to where i want
only by date install, title etc
the stock ics using TW is pretty similar to the GB one i used
shame really
Lets start another whining thread, we didn't have enough of those already
The answer to everyone's problems: CM9. flash it and never look back
We must have a new section in the GALAXY Note forum for those who expected a kitchen sink alongwith the ICE Cream Sandwich update.

Dear omersak,
Totally agreed... Try paranoid v0.2 with thor kernel v0.9 and enjoy hbyrid phone/tablet mode + overclocking cpu/gpu... i easily get 55 fps in nenamark2...
Kind regards...

thanks for sharing your views , about cm9 but then i am not very used to android and i think there may be more who are afraid for the brick bug..... and the system of warranty here in india is very bad specially samsung they would atleast take 15 to 20 days and finally repair and not replace or instant swap
Paranoid Android 0.2, Thor Kernel, changed clocks and voltages.
Chrome Browser. Spell Check. GPU Rendering. I don't miss S-Pen at all.
I too was a little unimpressed with ICS at first. Then Paranoid Android came and I could never go back.
Sorry, but the problem with the open source ROMs for this and other phones is that you lose hardware functionality (camera / FM radio / S-Pen, for example). And I'm not buying a $700 device to then install an operating system that does not allow me to use all it's hardware.

Come on guys its not iOS ! Flash a rom, change your launcher ... customize to your liking. There are some awesome TW based ICS roms like kingdroid, criskelo etc that let you use all the functionality of FM, SPEN etc, If you want to try out something other than TW then there are AOSP/AOKP roms and CM9 based roms.
Follow instructions and you will be safe even with the brick bug around.
hope someone tells the samsung guys that the need to work on interfaces like sony or htc where we get a better user interface then on the note which is nore efficient
Try trebuchet (i think thats how you spell it)

clearly you haven't tried cm9 yet ,you don't loose any of the things you just mentioned
camera is working perfectly ,1080p video recording as well.
FM-radio ,not out of the box but there is a workaround I believe (I never use FM so I haven't tried it)
S-pen is working perfectly ,you just need to install free note from the market to replace Smemo.
the only thing really not working at the moment is MHL ,and that too will get a fix in the near future .

Does it have Palm rejection?
Too much wining about ICS....
Ok, what did you people expected from it?? Whole new UI, faster, newer and better apps?? The whole android has guidelines, on GB people complained about this and that ICS is just an enhanced version of GB.....
Samsung could have made a new TW, i second that. And if it wasn't for "the bug" i know many of you would have already flashed a rom if it wasn't for that.
You can still flash and if you're careful you don't end up with a bricked note.
Come on look ate android versions before this, don't you all see improvements??
In my opinion android OS has com a very long way in a very short time. I don't want to make comparissons but IOS (apple) is using the same layout for years and although people are complaining they still don't change it !!! Look at symbian: i don't like it at all, things are not going well with it... If you just take a look at other OS'S you'll see that android is the one that evolved the most..
If you can customize it fully (with rom or apps) why the wining about it ???
Battery life on this kind of devices has and will be always the problem, we just have to accept that we have to charge it according to our use, once a day is acceptable (we do sleep don't we???) and there is no reason to turn the phone off during the charging process.......
I for one don't have many problems with ICS, i hust have to manage the battery life during the day according to my needs. I always have two chargers and a car charger so if i need to charge for an hour (or two) there is no problem.
Use it and don't make such a big problem of it.....
Ok, start the flaming or just say "thanks"

I have been wanting to post this for a long time..
Terrific hardware and benchmarks alone don't make a terrific phone - one of the key takeaways for me from my exp with XSP.
Good optimised software by the OEM matters a lot to the user experience. I am 100% sure that with support from Sony for at least until the release of Kitkat could have made a huge difference now.
I rooted and flashed a new ROM on my phone approx. 6 months after I bought it. I was frustrated of the Stock ROM with so much lag and bugs after prolonged use.
But after using custom ROMs for almost one and half years, I miss the Sony UI. Every custom ROM (except for few) have the same old bland interface. I got sick of it to be honest, even though custom ROMs have better performance.
Next is the camera performance - another let down for me. Same goes to the phone speaker.
Well, what are your thoughts on the XSP before you go and buy another phone?

This Xperia SP has carved a wondeful meaning into my life.
All I can say is that no matter how hard I try there will be no phone that can replace my XSP.
The notification bar is the best aspect of XSP which cannot be found on new devices (S6 edge tried to replicate but I guess failed miserably). I love to color it according to the apps I use and while there are many phones with RGB Notification LED, none shines brighter than XSP
The roms have been hiccups. There were some that I liked but got updated to a point they broke (freezes and lags - staring at you Lollipop)
In terms of games I found many that work flawless on it and some that required more RAM and hence stutter a little but with so much old hardware that is to be expected.
The disappointment for me has been camera... I don't think it is possible for any other phone to tint pictures so yellow. But since I usually don't take pictures all that much it never bothered me much.
Lastly XSP taught me to buy a Z-Series if you plan to stick with Sony (which I do even after they abandoned us - yes yes I still haven't forgotten the betrayal of no 4.4 update, don't say you all have)
Yeah true, those darned Sony guys, this phone has equal hardware to the first Z ,but still they didn't consider us because we paid less

SP was a good phone
it is a 2013 mid range phone which it beat 2012 flagship phone
just because sony mobile suck
The hardware is not bad, screen could be a bit better but otherwise it's OK. The (official) software on the other hand is the biggest piece of **** I have ever seen/used in my life. Although the fact that it looks like crap could be opinion-based, the fact that it runs absolutely horrible and has memory leaks and lags throughout is seen by all of us. Keep in mind as a tech guy I could solve this by flashing a ROM and kernel (even so this stuff is still hella confusing and requires a lot of patience), but remember that the idea of a phone being made is so eveyone could use it without having to do that. I can't even begin to imagine what the average user thinks of this phone. Basically it's phones like this that give Android a bad name and make people want to stick to iPhones. I was really surprised to see everyone having such a positive opinion about the Xperia SP on its forums; you guys seem to love it unconditionally.
A good phone. Think I got it free (or was it SGD30?) as an upgrade
My use is now limited to phone calls, whatsapp, sms, and the occasional surfing. Heck, even an old Sony Ericsson is good enough for my purpose
Anyway, time to say goodbye to Sony...and welcome a Xiaomi Mi 4i (tomorrow)

I have my sp for a bit over a year and a half now. The phone is absolutely not godlike, but over that past 1,5 year I've loved it. It covers my needs and I think it will keep doing so for a long time, thus I have no reason to go and buy another daily driver. But, I'll agree for sure with you on the "I miss the stock ui" part. I'm running a custom rom and a custom kernel for around 4 months (was sick of stock 4.3's random freezes, and I had customized the rom in some ways [kernel, unbloat and such stuff]). While the performance is heaps better, I miss the ui I experienced when I first powered on the phone, so that's why I'm going back to stock 4.1.2 (with another kernel and some mods of course - after all, this is xda god damn it) just to revive some of that......."nostalgia". Other than that, I wouldn't say it's a terrible phone at all. If not anything, it's one of the greatest devices I've used, and I'm happy I own and use one as a daily driver. I'll keep using it this way until it won't be able to cover my needs.

Exactly I don't plan on changing this since it covers my requirements, although I was tempted more than once to do it
Perhaps,
...Perhaps Its time to share my part of the story
My Xperia SP which is my first awesome fast smartphone
It took me into a new dimension of android rooting and flashing roms, kernels , bootloader
It has embraced me many type of error while flashing or crashing.
Unfortunately, My Xperia SP squeeze out its last battery percentage and went away....
So, My xperia sp's Battery is now dead and is sealed,
A New Monster arrived for me : Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Its my current device and a new replacement for my Xperia SP
The Good news is that sooner or later i will be Replacing the solder battery of the Xperia SP with a new one and bring it back to life!
I would really want to thank everyone in this thread for supporting this phone up till Cm13 (Marshmallow)
I would really want to thank everyone who had helped me along the way!

Good phone but very laggy and stuttering.
I dont blame the outdate ROM but I blame the bloatwares that cant be removed.
I only use my phone for 5 apps no games, and it lags
I used to like Sony but I believe it was taken over by western stocks.

I used to switch back to .254 a few times for it is faster than the newer ones. But after a while, it also gaining stuttering.
I recommend you use the pure stock version 3. which remove wares

I've had the Xperia SP for almost a year now, and I'll admit it has been one of the worst devices I've ever owned followed by my old Atrix 4G which lacked support. The touch problems, lags of the xperia. I will miss the led notifications and yes some bloat ware which was actually useful on the stock roms. Stamina, Small Apps, Camera App, Bravia Engine lol. The hardware is great and the phone feels solid but Sony just had to abandon it after jelly bean which really ticked me off. What i have learnt now is before purchasing a new phone go on the threads read about it's problems. Before I got this phone I didn't know about it's issues until I had it, but obviously it was too late. Well this is my last year with this device and surely if it wasn't for all the devs working so hard to bring the latest firmware Android 5.0 - 6.0 it would've been frustrating oh yah and the multitasking does suck though
Well the Xperia SP is a great device, awesome features and so but software is rubbish. And on top of that... the Xperia SP community is rubbish too! Mean users and developers. The lack of respect towards each other. I am happy with my S6 And I do know I wont be getting a Sony phone anytime soon
Hello, I am a user of XSP since August 2013, I have been using this device as my only device since then, and I can tell that I tried every ROM that came out for this device, maybe I can share a little bit of my experience if you let me ..
I am not a developer or anything, but I can help with something at least
Since we got our device we couldn't stand for one particular ROM, we always had to keep changing ROMs so we can get "better" performance, and frankly that wasn't great for most of us, I mean who would want to see his device not in a good performance where we can see lots of lower-price-devices like Xperia M (that has nearly the same support from SONY) get a better performance, and for the word "performance" here I mean RAM management, touch response, the use of those amazing LEDs... etc and didn't mean the performance of heavy games..
we had 4.1.2 and XSP was one of the best 4.1.2 devices out there, then we got the 4.3 and we struggled to get that without any problems in the latest 205 and 207 versions, right? and here I am talking about the flickering issue of the screen, then again we had that poor RAM.. some devs made great CM11 LBL ROMs that were amazing knowing that the kernel is 4.3 and it has some limitations, they made that "High Touch Sensitivity" option, even though it did turn off every now and then but it was great, then there was this HUGE step in XSP life, which was the official support of CM and other big names .. we had an official CM11, it wasn't that great since its was never built on .207 sources (always was on .201) that means it had flickering screen problem and never had the Glove Mode high touch option, so it was petty much unusable.. the CM12.1 was another huge move, it was built on 207 and had that option....... BUT.... it is lollipop! don't you guys think that it is a little too much for XSP? I know it can be buttery smooth and great, especially with latest builds of ALL ROMs from our amazing devs, but as soon as you install facebook and some big apps on that, you go back to the bad 4.3 again, sorry for talking so much, what I am trying to say is, can't we have a UBL CM11 (4.4.4) with 207 kernel sources AND the latest glove mode implementation (of the 5.1.1 in all ROMs) ? think about it, amazing performance, no flickering, no bad RAM management, no horrible touch sensitivity.. pretty much all we need in a smartphone, isn't it? yes it's not Lollipop, yes it's not Marshmallow, but it's an idea, like any other ROM we have, I guess it would be great to have that, and a it's worth a try, I guess
thank you all for reading this (or some of it ) I was just trying to give you my idea.. and I ALWAYS appreciate all the devs work, you gave XSP a shot that SHE can never imagine (that's right, XSP is a she and I am in love with her )
Im thinking the same thing I think devs shouldnt gave all their all time to creating new roms. We have a lot of Lollipop roms, but nothing different between them.
I think, devs should improve 4.3 experience,(or 4.4 you say).
And i think, they should spend much more time to improve the SP's software limitatioms or etc like Gamma/Display Settings, 720p 60 fps camera or something like that. Because our SP can handle it but nobody creates it or works for it. Im sorry about this..
Or the SP's most important thing, The LED's We have only Discolight app (sagar29) for this beautiful LEDs, i think they can improve and create different things about LEDs and give them a life again.
But i appreciate all developers, Thank u guys, you gave a life this phone...
Same line of thinking here! When I was with an Xperia PLAY at the time we heard we didn't was going to have ICS update with is can be equal to no KitKat for the SP, so then the devs work hard and brought ICS, JB and even a working KitKat for that amazing device, but come a time that all we wanted was a powerful and optimized OS and mostly of the devs focus on bring a powerful fricken as hell optimized GB version for the XPLAY with almost 320mb of free ram on a device with less then 512 of total amount of ram, I must say I kind miss this on the SP foruns, as you said, yes its amazing that we have even in alpha state a 6.0 ROM. But I want a fully lag free ROM, ram free with better ram management that I can use for months and not changing from one sluggish ROM to other whitin a week. A thing that always get me is that on the XPLAY we have a 720p record on most kernels (Lupus Kernel, DoomKernel etc.) and for better performance (say to get more free ram and better performance) the devs created a 480p version of the kernel and was fully functional, if someone with more knowledge can answer this for me, That would be possible on the XSP?
Thank you so much guys for being able to flash soooo many custom roms on our dear land , i totally love this device and it has all the features and necessary requirements to be a primary phone, be it performance, battery life(exceptional) , a decent camera and an overall package, it was a total bang for the buck at 150 dollars ...Its only because of all devs (no partiality) that even today this device is having tons of awesome custom roms with good support..
But sadly i am leaving you guys and this device too, as i today i have bought a 2 months used lenovo zuk z2 at about rs. 7000 (roughly 110 dollars) and will be shifting my primary device to that. But i siill love this device so much! It's hard to leave it , so i am giving it to my mom and guess what with an awesome custom rom installed (viperos 7.1.2 by impulsar)
In the end it has been an amazing 1.5 years using this device and it can still last for years to come with support of all devs until the hardware dies. Keep up the good work brothers! Cheers!

Where did you get that beast for 7k?? On Amazon, it's 9.7k! I was surprised to see the flagship 820 series on a below 10k mobile! How did it fail to get attention? I mean I had never heard of it before! This never got that media attention for such tremendous value for money! ?

Bro actually i have bought zuk z2 from OLX for 7k, it's only 2 months old, isn't that a freaking awesome deal? Btw yeah, this phone is a beast, already unlocked the bootloader and enjoying validus 8.1.0 custom rom with front and back portrait mode working ,
It didn't got much attention cause of it's poor ZUi which is horrible and full of major bugs, also camera was average, and their are heating issues with stock rom, little do normal users know the worth of a custom rom on a sd820 it's awesome really,150K on antutu

Yeah! Now that's whom we call a shrewd whelp. ?I have never got my hands on an Android with the 800 series chipset! I wonder how fast the custom ROMs would run with that! It must be as fast as light. BTW, congrats. Enjoy the speed. :good:
A suggestion. Install the latest build of Nitrogen OS 8.1.0 on your mom's land. I am getting insane 16 hrs+ SOT on that ROM with moderate usage. And as you know, Oreo is simply Light-years-ahead of any previous version of Android. After installing it, the performance and battery life would be faster than ever before. And your mom will be happy(-ier). She would be charging her Android less frequently! Just do it.
*After flashing Oreo ROM on land, follow my thread on battery tips under Discussion section of land.

I have done all of that before achieving that SOT. You may tweak your z2's settings with the tips as well. And yes, don't root your mom's phone. Chances are that any spamming website would trick her into installing malware!! ? That's why all my battery tips are non-root. Cheers! If you want AdGuard, PM me.

Yeah bro thanks a lot! Impulsar's viperos 7.1.2 passes Google's safetynet out of the box, so need of magisk root, banking apps run fine But i need google camera portrait mode working as she loves it ,, so have to stick with 7.1.2 until 8.1.0 supports gcam .. btw you're awesome bro, you've unleashed the true power of our land device with these tweaks
I am already getting 8hr+ SOT on my zuk z2 with your settings on validus 8.1.0, while others are managing just 5-6 hours SOT coz the rom is still unoptimized... it's awesome considering z2 has got a 3500 mah battery, a powerful SD820 and a 1080p screen.

?? I'm overwhelmed by your response! ? I'm waiting for the GCam as well. Did you install the modded YouTube? Install that on land as well. Your mom will be happy to bid adieu to the videos ads forever! Enjoy.
