Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

Hi, this is my first post on this site. I just wanna say thanks to the creator for this creation! I also have a couple questions.

When I install the CTMod, it works great for about a week or two. Very fast and everything works very well. After a week or so of use however, certain things slow down and makes using the phone very painful. The Phone won't dail for 30 seconds when i hit the button (if it dials at all) and txt and many other features become very slow. I have went through the entire process a few times, and each new install works great, but eventually always slows down. Any ideas? I'd appreciate it very much.

My last question has to do with the app menu. CTMod scrolls left/right through pages of apps. I was wondering if theres any way to switch from left/right to up/down scrolling. No big deal but being able to go all the way to the end of the list with a quick flick was always kinda fun lol

I'd appreciate any help, and thanks again for the awesome rom!

For the scrolling, I use zeam and you can pick either way. In Xperia I don't think you can change to up and down.

Are you using 3.75 or 3.75.2? As for running slow might have something to do with what you install and how you configure things and apps? You Should try again and load no apps or tweak anything and see what happens after a week or so. If good then must be something you add or do to phone. If that is the answer would have to add 5 things and use for a week and keep doing until phone messes up. Don't know what to tell you seeing most everyone has not had any problems since update.

thank man, i'll check out zeam, i have just installed 3.75.2 again and i'll try keeping it empty and see what happens, then start adding like ya said.

You may find out and maybe not, but a place to start. Zeam you can scroll up/down or left/right, is pretty fast too, been using for a while myself.
 
Question. How do I replace the stock messenger app with chomp SMS app? Is it as easy as copying Chomp to system/app folder and deleting messenger stock app? Or is that a bad idea? I'd also like to replace xperia launcher with go launcher if possible ...but before I destroy this glorious Prevail, I would like some experienced input ...

Just download the launcher and then select it by hitting the home button and check the use by default box. Then have to reconfigure home screen and stuff again.
As for the messanger just do the same, install one and use as default or even use titanium to delete the system app and might even be able to make the new one a system app too with titanium.
 
So freezing the stock launcher and messenger won't hurt anything? I love xperias 4 corner dock bars but go launcher is much more customization friendly, and the same with chomp. I just wanna make sure freezing or deleting stock apps won't cause this thing to quit receiving messages or launching. I don't see why it would but just making sure. If I deleted those two stock apps and replaced them with the apks I wanted in the system/apps folder, would they not automatically open when booting and run as the stock replacement apps?

You just need to load a new app before deleting the stock one. You can freeze the stock app first and use the new one and if a problem just unfreeze the stock and if no problem then just delete the stock one. You should have no problem with those. Some other important ones you might not be able to do. Phone, messaging, launcher, keyboard, music, ect... can be done with no problem. Just remember to load new one first.

IIRC removing the stock music app = Bluetooth fail. Yes/no?

Edit: Just confirmed. Deleted the stock music, clicked Bluetooth on and my phone first froze and then kept rebooting. Then, with a well timed Bluetooth shut off to stop the reboots, I dropped the music app back into system/app and all is back to good.

I'm sorry forgot that, that works with bluetooth. I just installed player pro and not use the stock one but left it there. It is like the camera, the camera button only works the stock and any others have to use the app then the screen to take pics. Sorry again about that:o Trial and error is how anyone finds out, Just always make a backup first and if using titanium try freezing first.:)

Is it possible to add the music player from 3.68 and remove this stock one? (I like the old player better)
Click to expand...

3.75 and 3.75.2 were made from a different phone then 3.68. You can just use the 3.68 one and leave the now stock one on there and not use it. Removing it will cause some issues.
 
Where is this A2Sd Download? My build number 3.75.2 Kernal 2.6.35.14 Or is it already on my phone? I tried the Sd parter partion 1024MB but dosent work??

How do I install this? Can I just go to the recovery and install it using the install zip from sd card option?

Thanks

Has to be done in Windows !!! You need to unzip the files to a directory..... then start the Odin Multidownloader and select the .ops, the pda and the phone .....

You can't use "Install from ZIP" in CWM.....

I followed the partion thread in SD partion i made 2 ext4, one 1024mb and 500mb and partioned in but still only 23mb for internal storage i have a 8gb card

Did you go to Settings>>>CTMod Setting>>>Kernel Settings and selected DATA ???? After selecting DATA, you need to reboot into RECOVERY and re-format the sdext ( not sd-card) again !!! Then reboot system.....
