I have a little problem with v18. I tried restore my backup (i made it before i tried 4.2) and it says that: md5 mistmatch...

I have managed to get it working: copying backup to pc, check all *.img file md5 with nandroid.md5. I found that the "data.yaffs2.img" md5 is always bad.

So i edited nandroid.md5 with notepad++ overwrited in sd card backup and now i don't have md5 mistmatch error. Anyone has this trouble too?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Yes...I had this for a long time (on ics) and it was driving me absolutely crazy and it has happened again to me on 4.1.2...I am not sure what causes it. But I seem to remember a lot of things were being blamed...changing sdcard partitions, changing the backups name, changing the sdcard, sdcard full, etc. One of the things I do remember is that cwm will check the md5s for all the files in your back up folder and if any of them mismatches then it will stop....so the problem may not even be in the back up you want....so frustrating! I found somewhere in xda...I don't remember exactly where because it was a long time ago (so sorry to the original Dev) that you can make an empty nandroid.md5 file and then cwm will skip the md5 check. The nandroid.md5 file lives inside each back up folder...for example on my phone it can be found in every backup folder in this directory: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. Just replace the nandroid.md5 in the folder you want to restore with the empty one....just a word of warning...the md5 check is pretty important because restoring a bad back up can really mess up your phone...so if you try Wechy77's fix or just bang in the empty nandroid.md5 file you can end up in a bad place.

With my ics problem, I ended up deleting all the old back ups and then the newly made ones worked no problems.

To make an empty nandroid.md5, just open an existing one in notepad++ or with the text editor on your phone and delete all the text...then hit save, and you are done....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
I checked my 4.2 backup nandroid.md5. This is ok. I don't know why my all 4.1.2 (v18) backups nandroid.md5 are wrong. I try to make a new v18 backup and see if it is good now.

If not i try to format my sd card, and begin with a "white paper".

Edit: I made a new backup, checked nandroid.md5, and it's good. So i have no idea why my old ones was wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sjondenon:
I agree with you. As far as I know, 4.2 hasn't any major improvements over 4.1. It is even full of bugs and there is no increase in performance right? This multi user thing only makes development more complicated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Not sure what does it...I just restored a 4.1.2 back up from 4.2...so it is not an issue with 4.2...

I would just try deleting all the back ups (you can copy them to your pcs harddisk if you want to save them) and then try a back up - restore cycle. Reformating the sdcard can be a pain if you have moved apps to the sdcard and I have never figures out which of the "." folders have to be restored. Have you enabled/disabled app2sd or something similar on your device...this maybe the culprit as some of these apps create an ext partition on your sdcard.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
No. All my apps is in phone memory (deleted some bloatware and i have 115 MB free system space and ~200 mb free data space - so i don't use app2sd)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Oh well....if you figure something out, will you please let me know....kinda would like to understand this...it was really driving my nuts for a while....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
+1 I've also restored to PAC18 from 4.2 without problems (I'm back on 4.2, just did it to see if I can - peace of mind)

4.2 is so much faster than 4.1.2 for me it's a major improvement (could be because its pretty barebones at the moment)

I do agree, multi user is pretty useless unless you are on a tablet, and then only a select few tablet users will ever share the device on a regular basis.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
I didn't tried yet the other backup methods. Didn't have the courage to do... In cwm you can choose maybe 4 different backup file type.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
I think there are two file types: tar and dup...ours is configured for dup by default....in cwm under the back up and restore menu you can select advanced restore, then your back up of interest and then you can restore only part of the back up....for example you have just flashed a new ROM and you have performed a full wipe, you can go to one of your previous back ups and restore just the data partition...or you have flashed a framework-res.apk that is giving you a bootloop so you just restore the system partition....should be no problems restoring the data and the system partitions....not sure about the others.....

Hello!

Great rom so far (on 20121118), but one problem I've found: when I'm in an application such as a game and I leave it, my phone still goes to sleep at the given interval. This seems like odd behaviour, is there any way to disable this and revert to the standard behaviour of "if a game is running, force awake"?

Thanks! I hope that is clear enough.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheDynamiteGuy:
Only some games/apps that have wakelock to keep the phone from going to sleep..or you can just increase the time out to maximum 30 min..

my phone is always rebooted when i uninstalling an App . It not matter whether the app is on the card or in the phone.

Have anyone simular issue

Try this: You uninstall via app manager? If yes, and the app is running or is in the cached part, you must stop it first.

Caller ringtone not working

Hi,

this is my first rom and it took me umpteen number of tries to root, unlock, install... Thanks all for the tutorials and tools. This is my first post and I have tried myself and searched prior posting this.

My phone ringtone is not working. Everything else does. touch sound, alarms, songs, video etc... Only once I had had my phone ringing. I tried changing ringtones, sound level etc... Even when I choose between ringtones, its not being played. Please help me. thanks in advance

Hey folks. I generally use No-Frills CPU to manage my processor frequencies and I/O scheduler. I see on this ROM though that I can do so under the 'performance' options. Is there any reason I shouldn't dump No-Frills and start using the performance tools in the norm? Is there one that is recommended over others? Thanks! First full night on battery, with wifi off and lost around 6%...excellent!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
There's also Performance options in ROM Control (settings). I generally stay away from 3rd party apps if the ROM already can do the same thing. If you do not plan to fiddle with voltage settings, you will not need No-Frills on top of the settings/options already available.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] usefulidiot:
Excellent! I was just wondering because of the 'experimental' warning that the ROM was throwing up. Btw, I am getting a lot of initial lag once I enter the performance option under ROM Control menu (basically a "not responding" notification). Is that a bug, or something that only I am experiencing? Thanks again man!

Yesterday my phone was 2 days on battery, and there was about 12% battery left. Then i heard a buzz (vibration, lol) and the phone shutdown - no battery. Why is that? I was deleting batterystats couple weeks ago (when I had the same issue) and nothing. And I charged device yesterday, and through night and couple of hours today, and using wifi... it says - 100% :eek: how? I know it's not true, but why..

And sometimes my device reboots after some actions - uninstalling app, or using some other app, or looking in settings. Mainly when it begins to lag...

EDIT: Oh, and sometimes (very often I would say) volume is getting down. I don't do anything, I set sound volume on high, and couple of hours later it's low again. And certainly after reboot it's low...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
You need to reset your power meter...Sony tech support recommends charging to 100% using the wall charger. Remove the battery and usb cable for 5 minutes (so no power source for the phone at all). Put back in the battery, reboot phone, and use the wall charger to charge back up to 100%. Since your phone died with about 12% power you should see a ~12% drop in charge upon rebooting the phone.....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
I found this on XDA:

"Developers of ROMs such as CyanogenMod are always working on the next release to make it better than the last. Please do the developers a favour and DO NOT ASK FOR an ETA. (Coincidentally, the only rule of CM is "Don't ask for ETAs")

Why? Well the developers are always at work creating updates to your favorite ROMs and when you ask for an ETA, you're really taking time away from their busy schedule just to quell your questions and such. I actually know because a close friend of mine is one of the developers of the much touted CyanogenMod ROM, and he along with the rest of the dev team get annoyed when people ask for an ETA."

EDIT: This did not really work, after reboot the newly installed apps were gone.

The inverted apps are great stuff. However getting Aroma installer to run sounded way too complicated to me. Using the full package was also not an option, I don't need most of the apps.

Turns out you can very well select single apps to install yourself! Just download the Aroma package and fetch the apk files from inverts/ and apps/ directories. As a source you can take jusTunbean_aroma.v4.1.2.zip from files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=jtproductions/Old_zips/4.1.x/. There are newer versions, but I wanted to stay with the same version my gapps already have.

After getting the apks on the sdcard, use Titanium Backup to backup the applications in question onto the sdcard. Then open all the apks via a file manager to install them. If it is not a system app, you need to de-install any previous version of the app by yourself before you can replace it.

It worked with Calendar, Contacts, MMS, Youtube, Email. I didn't try any others except CMFileManager. That one failed, no reason given.
