[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
I just figured something out everyone.

When I flash a nightly build then like everyone else I get quite a few reboots in quite a short space of time. However when I build a kang and flash that then I noticed that my phone hasn't rebooted for up to days at a time. I'm not sure why this might be - my suspcions are the toolchain on Jenkins may have some issue and is causing these reboots. I'll post an up to date kang later today from my side so others can verify that my intuition is correct.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
Could be

AOKP builds are reboot-proof while CM nightlies are rebooting like hell on my device too. also I haven't checked FXP builds lately as they are impossible to download these days in my country.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Dekudan:
Because I don't really follow this too much an didn't know that was a thing one could do ;)

Oooh, looking forward to that. Such a shame that the reboots ruin our experience so much.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
My kang for today: http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/roms/mint/cm-10.1/cm-10.1-20130706-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip

If this reduces the reboots for others then I'll try and post these as often as possible
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] inaiccurtep:
First impression is that your kang is a lot more stable! Did have a crash quickly after installing, but since then it's stable. Have been playing quite a bit, opening mail and camera applications (these usually trigger reboots for me). No problems! Also the free memory seems more stable (saw it as some kind of prediction of crashes). Will report the progress :)

One question: what does the red border that sometimes flashes around the screen mean?

Thanks!

Rob
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
The ree border occurs because it is an engineering build rather than the userdebug build that nightlies are. All that means is that it has extra debugging stuff for developing apps and the red border us one of those helpful things for developers.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] inaiccurtep:
Second impression is that things went fine for quite a while. Then all of a sudden, a crash (no response, and then a reboot). After that music applications did not run properly anymore (?). Neither Apollo nor Player Pro worked like normal. Have no idea why, and if it has anything to do with the build or not. Went back to CM10 for a bit. Just holler if you would like logcats etc.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yeah a logcat would be good. Not of the reboot itself but of trying to play music afterwards.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] inaiccurtep:
Hi Tilal, here is the set of logcat etc. I hope that it shows something useful...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Biertje_:
Im having trouble playing my recorded videos. Also when i receive a video throught whatsapp it wont play. On CM10.1 stable i have no problems, it only with the latest nightlies.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
I have tried your ROM as well because I had lot of reboots with the "officially" CM rom especially when I wanted to use the camera app from the lock screen when I wake up the phone by any button and swype left to the camera. The suddenly reboot is unpredictable because most of cases I can use the camera app without any problem.

and

I really miss some feature from the CM rom which are exist in the stock.

-control the volume with buttons of the original headset

-wake up the phone to the camera app immediately by the camera button

-phone sound quality and level is poor if I compare with the stock rom

-headphone sound quality seems quiet good but level is too low
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
1 and 2 these stuff should be put on JIRA since they are feature requests common to all devices. JIRA can be found at http://jira.cyanogenmod.com/ Points 3 and 4 are relative - many inculding me find the current volumes to be at the perfect level with acceptable quality.

Basically media server crashes spectacularily. It'll be pretty difficult to pinpoint I'm afraid.

Have you tried my kang? I can play the videos recorded with it fine - just tested.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Biertje_:
I'll give it a try, thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
Many thanx for your recommendation but the given link doesn't work, maybe you thought with "org" like this jira.*cyanogenmod.*org
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yeah that's what I meant lol.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
I have examined your recommendations and I see it's a "tracking and project management system". It is not so far from me because I'm a software developer but unfortunately I'm not familiar the android development. I saw downloadable cyanogenmod versions. Is it an fork of the original cyanogenmod project? Do you think it contains specific modifications for my issues?

Sorry for my bad English.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Biertje_:
Still not working

[MENTION=3381828]tilal6991[/MENTION] i tried your Kang, i still cant get it to work. When i flash back to cm10.1 stable video playback works. I tried a factory reset and still no go. Should i do a clean install, like format system and clear all caches?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
I'll take another look later today with my phone and will investigate if I come across the problem as well. Currently out of town (on holiday) at the moment.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
No. It's a system for tracking bugs and feature requests for the CM project.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
I went wrong I see there isn't downloadable parts. How can it help me?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Biertje_:
thanks

Thanks for your support on your holiday :) I did a full wipe of system etc. and still no go. Everything is stock CM10.1 (no different kernel). When i playback a video i get the message "Can not playback this video" (see screenshot)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Just put up a feature request saying what you'd want done (each feature should get it's own request) Then the CM devs who work on the ROM itself rather than working on making the ROM work on a specific device will take a look and if the feature interests them then they will implement it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Can I also ask - has anyone who is running my kang who had a lot of reboots before still have this issue with my kang?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
Oh... I don't hope in that but maybe I take a chance...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
But of course since CM is open source if you really want a feature then you can always wite it yourself. All it needs is a good knowledge of Java and a basic understanding of Android.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
if I had the xperia t I would have already tried it.. but I am still wondering if I should buy it..

nobody of the many (i guess) xperia t cm10.1 users can try this kang build that maybe could help in fixing the so frustrating and always persistent reboot bug???

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
This is one of the only things left which doesn't work on 10.1. AFAIK it doesn't work on any qcom CM10.1 device besides the N4.

Playback from the gallery does not work, i installed vlan player and video's play just fine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lunarjetman1:
Hello all,

I am also having the same issues with video playback. Vlc works, but still glitchy, I recorded some video using the stock Sony firmware whilst on holiday, and now I can't play these at all, even with vlc. I tried your latest build tilal6991, still the same.

Cheers,

Lunar.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wubdidu:
Video playback seems to be really picky... I still have this issue with Instagram which tries to play the recorded video in its edit step: https://code.google.com/p/freexperia/issues/detail?id=2136&sort=-id

Tilals build also didn't help with that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yeah I see it. I'll take a look at debugging the issue as soon as possible. Anyone have a rough idea of when it broke? (it would be really helpful if someone knew the last nightly where it worked :))

I meant anything besides that. I'm already flashing to gather a bug list.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
Hmm... I'm not sure. perhaps you could PM a member of FXP?

If you're not part of the team I don't think there is much you can do other than report bugs...

Everything seems to be in working order (Other than camera). I'll keep you updated on any findings.

EDIT: In the settings there doesn't seem to be a 'Developer Options' menu. Or am I missing something?

EDIT: The phone doesn't recognise my SD card. Only internal storage. --- Just formatted via my PC... Still no luck. "Error mounting externalSD"

ext sdcard is a work in progress and not yet done with the new mako kernel port. (mako dont have ext sdcard) so they need to implement sdcard support.

Well I've installed it 2 days before and had just 1 reboot so far... Also the battery life seems to be muuuuch better. Before (latest nightly from CM10.1) I was @ 20% around 8 PM and now I'm @ 60%...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
I have tried the last stable and the last nightly version as well. The main problem is the randomly reboots for me. The reboots are totally unpredictable for example last reboot was when I wanted to make a phone call and the phone suddenly rebooted. It's very annoying. I was surprised how can do that a rom which is in stable status.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Please try my kang a few pages to see if it fixes the issue.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
As I remember I have tried earlier but the the problem was same but OK I'll try again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
I update everyday with the nightlies, got sometimes a reboot.

Use CM10.1 for daily use.

I sometimes wipe cache & dalvic cache.

Only a Custom kernel with better battery-life is what I miss.

I really like CM 10.1 :beer:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] efs12:
Have reboots with Nightly 2013-07-14.

Did a full reinstall about 1,5 month ago with latest Sony original FW.

Updated to latest nightly. Full wipe, including SD-card (pictures were still stored in folders outside the android 4.2 user folder, no access from PC possible). Titanium-Restore of some apps, but only data, not the app.

Updated to 10.1 with wipe cache & dalvik

Updated to 10.1.1 with wipe cache & dalvik

Updated to 10.1.2 with wipe cache & dalvik

Updated to 10.1-20130714-nightly with wipe cache & dalvik

Yesterday I had a hard reboot between listening to mp3 (automatically switching first mp3 to second with apollo, stored on external sd-card, no headphone).

After restart, 2 reboots when starting listening to two different mp3s after a few seconds.

Today reboot after clicking apps / settings / battery. While switching screens, the phone crashed. After reboot, it worked fine.

Always a hard reboot with FXP-logo and entering pin-code.

Battery drain is still too high compared to Sony original FW.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
I ave tried again and when I tried to get into theme choose part of the settings menu I got a reboot this morning. The "typical reboot situations" are using theme chooser, using camera app, wake up from lock screen and swipe to camera , using gallery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
But are the reboots reduced?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daruma:
Sorry I didn't make statistic. I appreciate your work but I can't accept random reboots if I see only one I go back the stock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
oh my god!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] segle:
I have far less reboots with Tilal's build.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tomcatoggo:
...which one? The one he posted about 2 weeks ago?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] segle:
Yep, that one. Every nightly even weekly from FXP have more reboot than tilal's build.

Maybe he'll do a more up-to-date build, but it's up to him.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yabbandroid:
Can somebody explain to me the difference between the FXP builds with the official Cyanogenmod builds as found here : http://get.cm/?device=mint ?

I'm still trying to get a decent 4.2.2 experience on mint.. is the new 10.1.2 stable an improvement in stability?

I just tried the aokp milestone 2 but it had many of the same bugs as before so its not possible to be a daily driver (yet)

is cm better? I'll try..

Too bad this forum is so silent..

what do you say about the future.. will it be possible to get android 4.3 or even KLP for our Xperie T ? I am currently thinking about whether to keep the phone or not.. i cant stick with Sony stock UI, it is so crazy..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Vaizen:
+1

I totally get you mate

I can only say that AOKP is a little more stable than CM

Wow thank you tilal. I have already read in the thread about your kang and that it helped some people, i am definitely going to try it if i face issues with the official cm 10.1 build. I installed official cm 10.1.2 yesterday, had one random reboot within the first hour of using it but that was it so far its running quite well for me. (Granted it hasnt been much time)

Its definitely more of a daily driver for me than aokp 4.2.2 (i tried both milestones for the xperia t) in aokp there is a gallery bug and no video playback. In cm i can play any video with mxplayer just fine.

But a big thank you to you tilal already for the work you are doing for the community.

Glad i got some responses here its kinda scary when there is no active discussion in the dev forums for me..

​
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Cross posted from my kang thread:

Some of you may be wondering if any of us are working on 4.3. Well rest assured we are. cdesai and I will be poking at CM10.2 for mint over the next few days and Kali- will be working on fusion3 and possibly will hop back to blue at some point.

Right now the status is that I have a build compiled but it's very broken. Graphics seems to work when the boot animation appears but due to the new SELinux stuff data mounting is duffed up and so is sdcard mounting. This causes SystemUI crashes. Even if the mounts are done manually it goes the launcher and the graphics immediately crashes. Then when you try to reboot it hangs at the boot splash.

This is a pretty good indication of what we worked from in the past to produce the CM10.1 builds are released to you. Hopefully the issues will be sorted fairly quickly and we can get some sort of builds out to you guys to test.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Never mind.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
The correct kernel and post is below:

So while working on 10.2 (still a heavy wip but progress is slowly being made) I can across some kernel commits which I think could solve the reboots issue which people have been having. So I'm posting a test kernel for people to see if this is the case:
