FAQ's :
What is Fast Dormancy?
"Firstly a little explanation on what FD actually is.
When your phone is connected via data (not wifi) your phone needs to enter certain states in order to maintain this connection. If your Operator does not have FD support or you have it disabled, then basically your states are just connected or not connected. What this means is that every time your phone connects to data, it will have to go through all of its internal functions in order to achieve the connection and perform the data transfer. This is slow and obviously the more processing that is required, the more the hit on battery."

Yes, with my pleasure.
No sir, data dormancy will be turned off if we connected to WiFi network..so in 2G it will also active..
Then you can apply this way to solve your problem.

I just bought my XL so I didn't tried yet, but try this:
In some phones you can disable Fast Dormancy by dialing *#*#9900#*#* and select “Disable fast dormancy”.
I hope it helped.

Building New ROM. Post your Requests

Hi there
I am thinking of making a new Rom for Xperia L and I would like to see what I can do for you. However, I am doing a little survey before I start developing the Rom. Kindly tell me what do you need in a ROM.
The rom will be build from source of 4.1.2 most probably but it's not set to stone yet.
Do you want to see specific softwares or specific modification or anything ? If I can do that, I will happy to do that for you all.
What do you like to see in the ROM, write your requests!

For a rom to be built from source, device tree is most important which is not ready yet for XL. So how you are going to make one and add apps or 'Softwares' to it?

if you are planing to build from source i would realllllllllly apreciate cyanogenmod/paranoid android.
sorry to say but half my might is made up that you are going to churn out another themed stock rom.

Well, I said source so I meant SOURCE.
I was thinking of making my own ROMS for different devices. That's all
I guess for the moment I might just try to tweak stock rom a bit

1080p recording would be nice.

also pie as an option that would make a killer feature.
my apologies but a lot of guys say from source but simply cook new ones.Hence my suspicion .
also for sources you could look at htc one sv which has 1080p playback and recording with the same SOC model msm8230.

Honestly I do not knowabout that. If it is based on stock Rom, bootloader wouldnot be a problem but if its made from source, it could be hard.

I did some tests on touch sensitivity and i can zoom fine if the fingers are pinched in a diagonal direction but I do not get a good zoom if its pinched vertically. Are you having the same issues?
I am not sure if this has anything to do with missing gyroscope or software till yet but I am working on it. I will run more tests and update you all

There are certain tweaks, and kernels that support over-clocking that can reduce lags a bit, but our phones hardware is the main problem

Very good job!
I installed this yesterday and seems to be working quite good and mostly smooth... For me even the GPS worked when I tried GPS test, without any mods...
Just a couple things I observed...1) It is quite resource hogging...the available RAM sometimes comes down to 150-200 MB, so, ROM becomes laggy...2) messaging application's thread/conversation seems to be especially slow...
But, in all "VERY GOOD JOB" please keep this up and make it even better...

This is the real miui suite, the launcher is just a normal launcher

Guys a request to you if you like the rom please rate it aswell on the miui forum if you want me to continue being in the porting team and enable ota updates
i need more ratings to enable those ota updates

My question: is this ROM ready for daily use? I'm a big fan of MIUI UI, but I need a bugless rom b'coz I'm using it for work.

Could u define ur daily use. For me this rom is working out quite well for last 2 days...

Okay. Music playing, internet&documents browsing, a lot of Skype and other communicators, some calls&SMS, sometimes Asphalt 8, rarely take a camera shot... And above all I hate when my phone is lagging. BTW. How's your battery?

Is there any possibility to change the Navigation key? I can't use Softkey.. Or any module to do this through wsm?

Sorry for late reply...
I have done all the above except asphalt 8 and Skype on this ROM yet. Battery is not bad, not as good as CM11 though. But, CM11 for me was exceptional. Hope this explains what you were askin for.
I have heard that gaming is not good on this ROM and I believe the reason is that there is not enough free RAM available.
Just to add numbers: Around 8 hours of usage seems to drain 10-15% of battery. Overnight 1-2% down.
