Hello everybody...

I still have my MK16i...unrooted and unlocked bootloader and still using the on old 4.0.4... its too sluggish though... if upgrade to 4.1 could it in anyway improve the phone performance ?

Yup, in many ways. A few months ago I ady tried CM11 which is based on 4.4.4.
Quite good, less lag and beautiful too.
But revert to UHD back because battery can't last for 12 hours.

so CM10 base on 4.1.1 is better ? Can you assist on where to download and to install it for MK16i

Some guys at xda said that CM11 is much better than CM10.
I'm not sure since I never tried CM10 before.

I guess you have try it yourself then.

This link is for CM10.2.
And this link is for CM11.

You need to unlock your bootloader to install this rom since they using a custom kernel.
Refer to post #4 for method to root and unlock your bootloader.
Gambatte!

Thanks for the link..will try this weekend

done unlocked bootloader....

do we need to root first before installing the CM10 or CM11 Snoe ? We don't need right ? I don't see they mention about it in the requirement

Sorry for the late reply.
Quite busy with my edu loan.


Btw, have you managed to install CM10/CM11 in your phone?

It's okay...I quite busy too myself

Not yet on the installing...I want to makes sure I really know what I'm doing before installing it...

anyway, do we need to root the phone first before installing CM10...we don't need right ?

Nope. No need to root.
Just flash the custom kernel, boot into recovery, wipe data, cache etc. like they said. Install ROM.
And reboot.
Done!

All right Shoe, I still haven't install any CM.... but I rooted my phone ! Using Kayro rooting technique https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=52252906

Now my questions, after root...

I still can install any CM on the phone... can I ?

I barely see any difference on my phone after rooting except the super-user icon (which honestly I've no idea how to use it)...care to shed me some light ?

It's Snoe. Not Shoe.

Yep, after root and unlocked bootloader.
Rooting give you a permission to access your system (superuser). Like running Windows as administrator.
With superuser access, you can delete apps on your system partition, make some tweaks, backup data and app, customized your phone etc.

Oh my.. I awfully sorry...typo error

btw I'm thinking about flashing Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0.1 ROM instead of CM, it still based on ICS though...have you tried before ?

It recommend to flash kernel first... u have any recommendation ?..I thinking LUPUS V16 for now

Haha. Nevermind.

Yup. I'm using it right now. Look at my siggy.
And yup. Using LuPuS v16 also.

Wow...I guess we have same phone setup now..I've flashed UHD 5 on Lupus V16 kernel last week...

but I got some issue on lock screen...it does not change the wallpaper even I changed the theme..wonder why ?

Oh btw...supercharged V6 is mean for overclocking right ?...Is it necessary to have it since UHD 5 itself it the overclocking function ?

Haha. I'm not sure since I'm not using that lock screen. Just use the minimal one to save more RAM.
Did you try search on xda?

Nope, it's not overclocking. It just a script that will edit your buildprop IINM. It will make your phone faster. If you want to overclock try using SetCPU.

They said about installing Sony Album first ...I don't know the detail I actually don't concern much about it though..

SetCpu ? I thought in Ultimate HD we can set CPU performance from the Setting , is that not working ?

I gonna look on this supercharged thing this week

btw I noticed this ROM really suck up battery so fast !

Working just fine from the Setting. But I can create a profile using SetCPU (e.g. Underclock when screen lock.)

Haha. Can't agree enough.

i see...I thought the cpu clock will reduce itself if goes to screen lock or if screen is off since there are cpu governor in the setting..

anyway regarding the lock screen wallpaper change...I found the solution in XDA
