    Any chance to make a version for Xperia P lt22i ?

  • Daniel says:

    i whave a new problem, my “phone” aplication is stopped for no reason

  • This last version is great and very very stable except Lock screen !! No battery drain!Thank You McLean! For everyone have a problem try full clean installation, if you update from old release clean Dalvik/Cache and everything it’s OK. If you have a battery drain change cpu governor to On Demand or AbyssPlug and change I/O Schedule to Sio. Set it from reboot.
