[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Guys, let's say I have stock Sony Xperia S. That means bootloader LOCKED and phone is NOT rooted. So in order to install CM9.1 I need to:

1. Unlock the bootloader;

2. Root? How? Flashing Advanced Stock ICS Kernel? By doing this I should also get Recovery which is required for CM9.1 installation. Right?

3. Flash ROM. By using Recovery?

4. Flash gapps. Again, by using Recovery?

5. Wipe (only required 1st time) <--- Wipe what? Use Recovery to wipe various stuff? There are several "things" to be wiped. Which ones exactly? And why we need to wipe anything after flashing a ROM. Shouldn't we wipe before flashing?!

6. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Is the kernel included together with other CM9.1 installation files or it has to be downloaded from somewhere else?

I'd be grateful if someone could look into this and give some comments/corrections.

Thanks in advance. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
1) Unlock the bootloader

2) Download and extract the ROM zip

3) Download the gapps zip

4) Copy both to the phone

5) fastboot flash boot boot.img

6) Reboot and press volume up when the LED lights up to enter recovery

7) Wipe user data

8) Flash CM and gapps

9) Reboot

@FXP team (& all)

I just fixed the multipart SMS bug.

As it needs a new feature in SMS dispatchment management, I'll try to get it merged in CM9/10.

I'll let you know when the code is ready.

My current implementation is fully working but needs to be more generic and also more threaded as I use a queue to send all SMS.

Great ... this was a very frequent and needed feature to be fixed . Good Luck dude and thank you Indeed :good: :good: (not trying to spam)

Hi all,

I use right now cm9.1 from cm's site. Right now FXP is released FXP136 CM9.1. What's different between cm's release and FXP's release? (I know, both of release are from FXP.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
I have a question i ve installed cm 9.1 and always when i m in an app or browser walkman..etc when i push the home buttton the smartphone redraws my homescreen ..its annoyng..how can i solve this problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eScapeeXc:
Do you have installed XSIB4? Because it's a little bit buggy for the CM rom's.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
nope, I had FXP 135 and now I installed CM 9.1 OFFICIAL.. so i have CM 9 Kernel

The only major thing left to fix is backup (and dirty installs, but that's not so important).

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
yeah,, I wanted to buy a Micro HDMI Cable to be able to play games on my TV but I didn't buyed one because CM 9.1 DOESNT have hdmi :-s..

for me also HDMI wasnt a " important option " but now it is...is way cooler to have HDMI and play movies from your phone or play games from your phone on the tv ..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] razerblader:
I can recommend MIUI, it has been so smooth and stable in the words own meaning (Every in/out-put has worked, haven't found a single bug and it's a real good ROM, and I use the Advanced Stock ICS ROM-kernel and it really performs as well as having a real good battery life, and be sure to do a factory reset, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before using it and give it some hour to setle :)

And for playing games, I can recommend a PS3 Bluetooth controller or a XBOX 360 Bluetooth controller :p

Hope this helped you to find another good ROM :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
i ve installed miui but its kinda laggy and it has low memory ram...

i dont like it..

i ve installed a .45 rooted, deleted the sony crap :) ..and I think that i'll remain at this one until cm 10 will be out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] razerblader:
Okay, then i know, and it's good to hear that you found something that worked out for you :D

But I don't gonna post more off-topic after this post so the moderators know :)

im stuck on the freexperia image on boot, i unlocked, flashed advanced stock kernel, flashed rom n gapps, then flashed boot.img via flashtool, now its stuck, i go into recovery n install it again it gives me an error of wrong build.prop, HELP

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

how do you guys get from recovery to fastboot?? is it by holding up n power for 10 seconds and then fastboot??

got it working, found this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859468
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
1.Flash advanced kernel (ics14.elf) (to enter FASTBOOT) = the phone has to be shutdown and push VOLUME UP + plug in the USB and a blue light will appear at the notification light after that enter in the fastboot FOLDER, inside the folder hold RIGHT CLICK + SHIFT and click on OPEN COMMAND PROMT and the COMMAND PROMIT will open type this inside "fastboot flash boot ics14.elf" after the kernel is flashed type fastboot reboot

2. when your phone will open at the sony logo the notification bar(down one) should flash and when that light opens you have to push VOLUME up for some times to enter the CWM.

3. click wipe data, wipe system wipe dalvik cache.

4. go to install custom zip, select cm9.1.zip, after install GAPPS(same way)

5. after select restart system

6. wait 2-3 minutes until your phone boots (if it's STUCK at the FXP logo it means that you've done somethings wrong), if you see the CM 9 animation(boot) it's OK.

GOOD LUCK !

In FXP 136 the highest processor speed under performance always sets itself to 400Mhz even if I change it to 1.5ghz...am not using other kernels
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
i commented on the issue in the tracker thread some time ago regarding this issue and using the SMS_EXPECT_MORE and SEND_SMS command codes. I was also able to send a multipart message successfully but my implementation was not the best either as I was using a public static field in the RIL class that i was writing to from the SMSDispatcher class... not very neat and not at all thread safe :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
Yes, in my first implementation I had some issues with concurrent messages too.

Sony RIL needs message to be sent only one by one so we need a queue and a mutex. It also solves all thread safe issue we can have.

But if we send a long multipart message and another single message, we can't know when to stop SMS_EXPECT_MORE requests.

In my current code, I mostly fix all issues and genericity so that other RIL can use this feature or not.

I'll send you a PM in the evening to discuss about my current implementation. (I can't have access to my build server right now)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
cool. i dont know roughtly what ETA you have for getting your stuff out there, so if anyone is desperate for a fix feel free to try my hacked framework.jar files. It does work but as stated it is a very hacky "solution".

There are files for the most recent builds from FXP and CM. They will allow you to send multipart sms's but make sure you let it finish sending before you start sending more messages as it isnt thread safe (eg it will fail so send if its trying to send multipart messages at the same time). I say again - its a very dirty hack but does work for now until Arakmar gets his real solution sorted.

Just copy (and rename) the relevant one of these files over the framework.jar in /system/framework and set the permissions correctly then reboot.

Hi people,

Then I rebooted and it appeard the fxp-logo then the illumination bar and the violet led had lighten up shortly

and now I'm stuck on the fxp-logo since 20 minutes

Thanks for your answer, but it still doesn't work

i flashed the AdvancedStock ICS kernel but when I wanted to reboot the phone to get into CWM (i clicked the right button) its stuck on the Sony-logo and I cant get into recovery.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imrock:
just flash this and then wipe everything and finally flash rom n gapps, worked for me

EDIT : WAIT, you cant get into recovery, then i dont know, please wait for better answers!! im new at this too, my galaxy s flashing was way easier than this
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AlfaGTV:
Now I know why I couldn't get into CWM

that was because i pressed the vol+ before the blue led lit up.

but now if i wan to flash the rom again, i get the get.prop error (status 7)

before i restored my backup, flashed stock kerneland wiped everything.

so i don't know whats going wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imrock:
lol, the get.prop error also happened to me, just flash the non-stock recovery kernel i gave u above, it'll launch in cwm directly, then wipe and flash, maybe that'll work

There is a 9.1 download on cyanogens Web Page so i just wonder what the difference is with that one and FXPs version? I thought FXP was the same just unofficial?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhilAd:
I am using beatsmod with cm9.1 having no problems. The walkman app is working with dspmanager. The advantage of dspmanager is that it is working systemwide. Also for spotify etc.

Before beatsmod i had problems with apollo and dspmanager. Starting apollo caused that the dspmanager crashed. Aftwr deactivating apollo dsp manager did never crash again.

I also do not have any problems with youtube app. Working without any crashes.

OC

Why?:confused: After fxp135 the pureics 1.1 kernel stopped working correctly and I went back to the FXP kernel, best thing I could have done. Forget about OC as it only drains your battery with no real perceived speed boost. If you want to have higher benchmarks then try pure ics kernel but wifi doesn't work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Poesini:
Pure ICS kernel was good in that you could control voltage, one thing good for managing same speeds without draining that much battery.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] geekygrl:
Just flashed this (after borking my stock ICS install :laugh::cool: the price of tinkering :good: ) and I must say its much nicer than stock - big thanks to the devs behind this - perfect! :D

Having come from the One XL where Cyanogenmod is still sketchy and having used CM on my old G1 its great to be back on it :highfive:

My install was slightly different however...this is what I did...no bootloop issues and no need for fastboot either :p

I was running Advanced Stock ICS v14 kernel by Arakmar which is great by the way.

Basically after giving myself a softbrick (this may or may not help anyone else trying to flash CM9.1 hence posting - mods sorry if it should be elsewhere but people do seem to have issues flashing CM9.1) I rebooted into CWM (just madly tap the VOL UP button when the LED flashes) - Good Tip - CWM has USB Storage mode under Mounts and Storage - use that to transfer any files from your sdcard you want to keep to your PC when you are in a softbrick/bootloop situation

First thing I did was wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik (I have seen many posters in here asking if they can install straight over the top of their current install or not wiping before installing a new ROM and then posting againg a few minutes later with problems and issues - IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO WIPE!!) basiclly I work on the theory the cleaner the install the better - use Titanium or Rom Toolbox or Root Explorer if you want to back up your apps....

Back in Mounts and Storage and after transferring files, I formatted everything /system, /cache, /data, /sdcard (hence copy your files). In there go back to USB mass storage mode and copy CM9.1 zip file and Gapps onto the sdcard - dont worry there will be NOTHING else on the sdcard.

Install CM9.1 as per a normal flash. Once that was done I wiped cache/dalvik again and flashed gapps, when that was done, wiped cache/dalvik again. REBOOT...

Worked perfectly, no need to use fastboot in my case (not all will have the same experience - but I am suggesting that if you have Stock Advanced ICS kernel installed already this will work flawlessly done how I did it.:D

Thanks dev's for CM9 - since I am at work you have saved me several hours without a phone since I softbricked it and this runs nice and smooth! :laugh:
