Does anyone else not find the option to unlock the phone with the volume buttons?

Just my recovery I get the error?

Can you make a backup?:crying:

P.S. - First impressions in terms of battery life are sensational. This is definitely the best rom 4.2.2 for that matter, in my opinion at least comparable to the stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] brown_89:
Sorry, what about gaming performance???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vankooten:
same here, but i did not do a clean install.

also i ran the maximum brightness zip, because the screen was not bright enough for me on maximum brightness.

great rom and battery looks very good.

Hi guys,

I don't want to pollute the dev thread but i think i found a bug concerning the NFC activation not working. Since i've made rc2 update from rc1 chocolate i'd like someone to confirm this bug.

Since thid bug occured on previous roms i've checked the sys/libs but as i expected everything seems to be fine (latest vendor stuff).

Correction (17/08) : The NFC problem is even present for me on 6.2.B.0.211 so NOT RELATED TO OPENSEMC !

However i fall in love with this rom. Great job RaymanFx !

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cronot:
Hey, relax, I wasn't pressuring you, I was just reporting the issue. :) As I said, the camera is perfectly usable now, I'd take this flickering any day rather than the previous problem (camera freezing). In hindsight though, the issue is obvious enough that you probably had noticed it anyway, so I didn't had to report it, but you never know... :p

Elaborating a little on this problem, I've found out a few things though. You may already know about it too, but I'll just leave it here as a heads up to everyone: That flickering problem seems to occur only when the device is rotated to landscape orientation; when previewing the camera while holding the phone in portrait orientation, there's no flickering. Additionally, previewing the camera on landscape, and also recording videos (at 720p) on landscape seems to be less smooth (and in the case of recorded videos, there are perceptible stutters) than doing it in portrait.

This stems from the fact that, since Android 4.2, the camera app now actually rotates the entire screen when you rotate the phone, as opposed to rotating only the controls overlayed on the preview, which is how it was on 4.1 and before. That "feature", apart from introducing a hideous lag while rotating the phone to ready a picture, also manifests a problem that the video drivers have (on any ROM, I believe: FXP, OpenSEMC, and I think even stock), of lower performance / fps in general when the screen is rotated to landscape, hence why the camera preview is less smooth when the phone is held at landscape orientation. I've actually come to loathe the camera app from Android 4.2, specially since I've found out that Google meant it to be that way because of a dumb reason (IMO). I've actually tried to inject Android 4.1 Gallery/Camera app into CM 10.1, to sidestep these issues, but the Camera doesn't work (FCs on start) - some mucking around with the source will be required, and I won't have the time for that for the next couple weeks. Another option (which is the one I'm stuck with for now) is using Focal from CM 10.2 - that works just like the camera app from 4.1 and before used to (in relation to rotation of controls), so it's better performance-wise and the flickering is gone, but the app itself is still unpolished - it crashes a lot and the controls are quirky. Oh well...

Thanks! I'll take a look at it later.

Anyways straight to the point buddy, I've tried to find a fix but it seems to be a problem across the board. I will admit I haven't looked at it deep enough BUT I'm sure you could research it yourself and find a solution for it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Why not fastboot flash it? It's considered a safer method.

Or, if you really want to go there, download the ROM zip and delete everything except META-INF and the boot.img.

Also, I don't usually go to threads to spam thanks or how great a ROM is, but this one really is awesome! Especially coming from EOS 4 :P

Battery is same as RC1 in my case, better than other 4.2.2 ROMs but still worse than stock ROMs.

Hi,

I'm new with OpenSEMC Rom as I'm coming from FXP.

OpenSEMC-RC2 works great and thanks the Dev for the great work.

I ask for help beacause I'm unable to Backup in TWRP recovery...

Every time I tried to backup, I've a "failed" message, with :

"E:Unable to locate storage partition for storing settings file..."

if I checked my File manager, I have a TWRP directory in the root but not in the SDCard.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

May be it's occured because our phone have no external SDcard.

What do you use for your backup instead?

Do you install CWM (at this point, I don't know how to do it).

Thanks for your help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] toestapillao:
To me it is the same. Is there any way to roll back to an earlier version of TWRP?. I think that problem is in version 2.6 ...:confused:

It's not the same in stock ROM. In stock ROM led bar lights up only when you touch the buttons above led bar. To me stock ROM's behavior makes more sense as it's less battery consuming.

That app either shuts the led bar down totally or keep it on at all times.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wzhy:
Hey, RaymanFX.

which branch of display-caf and other drivers does RC2 use? I compile the new kernel and rom, but cant display anything. instead the RC1 kernel is perfect

can you tell me?

Or is it just not updated?

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

This because a wrong parameter when building TWRP.

in device/sony/fuji-common/BroadConfigCommon.mk

TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/external_sd"

TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "external_sd"

this two lines is not for nozomi, so you can build it whitout these

And whitout this line can mount sdcard as Mass storage in TWRP. TW_NO_USB_STORAGE := true

So when you build a new TWRP, you can type a # before these lines

Remember that use cm_nozomi-eng instead of cm_nozomi-userdebug to build TWRP. TWRP needs eng flag

here is a build that fixed above problems, but it is a chinese version, you can translate it to English whit using the offical theme downloaded here: https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/archive/twrp2.5.zip

copy gui/devices/720x1280/res/* to ramdisk-recovery.cpio/res
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mat2057:
I was about to ask the same. Because when it's built, the screen often flickers.

I think [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] used the drivers from the jb-devel-mr2-release for this RC-2. Or yes, they've been updated...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
I made a special branch just for you guys to be able to get the exact kernel that I built into RC2 :)

It's here:

https://github.com/OpenSEMC/android_kernel_sony_msm8x60/tree/opensemc-rc2-release

The last commit (the revert thing) will take care of the flickering. We currently need to wait for fences to be aquirable before doing the actual mdp pipe commit via overlay, otherwise the pipes related to mixer 0 / 1 go crazy.

I hope you'll be able to resolve your issues!

If there are any further complications, let me know and I'll be happy to help!

To all the people experiencing lags when using on screen buttons: try this one:

In /system/build.prop, search for this:

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3

and try changing it to this:

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=4

reboot afterwards.

3 Layer composition is actually just right for msm8660, since we're encountering underrun issues with 4 layer composition.

If, however, you activate the navbar/onscreen buttons, it acts like an extra layer for MDP composition, which requires us to increase the maximum allowed layers, or otherwise certain MDP actions will cause troubles because they are missing the third (fourth) layer accessibility.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SaZh047:

Report on few bugs

[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

1.

Video drivers Here are my observations regarding them:

*The thing is,

all apps are working much slower in landscape

then in portrait mode. For example try scrolling in browser in portrait (smooth as baby's butt:) and then in landscape. Or try scrolling in message app or try any other app...

*Playing videos does have overlay controls. :good: I haven't yet experienced freezing of phone while turning my phone portrait/landscape while video is playing, but I did experience one freezing while general watching video.

2.

''Screen wakes slowly bug.''

*I noticed that it wakes faster if auto brightness is set to off.

*While on that matter, light sensor is little sluggish compared to cm10 (regardless on settings).

*Max brightness of screen is lower even than cm10 ones. I remember that cm10 had same issue, and than it got little brighter (not as good as in stock roms, but better)...

3.

Flickering torch is, I think, cm bug since flash doesn't flicker in other flashlight apps.

All in all, rc2 is great and I moved to it as my daily rom for good :good: Only ''big issue'' here is video driver which will be polished in time... We believe in you :)

I know this is a bit off topic but I have a question regarding the OpenSEMC kernel used in the latest RC2 build. I'm on SlimBean v8 and currently using the OpenSEMC Beta v2 kernel (3.0.67-EOS+ raymanfx@iMac21-UbuntuHive #3 Thu Apr 4 16:37:44 CEST 2013). Everything is working fine so far and battery life is way better than with the SlimBean kernel..

Now I wanted to try the new kernel of RC2 and extracted it out of the flashable zip and flashed it via fastboot. When booting I now get a bootloop after the splash Screen (OpenSEMC logo). Has anything changed or did I miss something?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vankooten:
if you use goomanager and you try to install rc2 with goomanager then the program will pop up a message that twrp is not up to date and suggest to download and install it.

i guess that after you have done this you will have a full functional twrp.

i have had your problem as well and only could do a clean install and have a start from scratch.

it was already solved in beta 2 or 3.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fredcom2:
Hi,

it's working now...

So, according to wzhy,

it seems that there is a "bad" code in our TWRP.

I think the problem occurs only for those where TWRP is first installed by OpenSEMC Rom.

The solution is to install TWRP 2.6 in the good manner for our Xperia S.

At http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/144 , we can find the "TWRP 2.6 - Sony Xperia S" page.

To make it short :

1. download the latest openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-LT26i.img at http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/nozomi

2. rename as fotakernel.img

3. Copy the file to /sdcard/fotakernel.img

4. open app "Terminal Emulator"

5. enter: su --> rights must be accepted

6. enter: dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

Hope it can help.

Okay, I have a question regarding building the kernel from source.

I didn't get any errors during the build (surprisingly well, since every thing I do usually pops a red sign at me :P), but I have a question about repackaging the kernel.

Will this command do for the mkelf.py or is there another one for 4.2.2?

python mkelf.py -o kernel.elf zImage@0x40208000 ramdisk.img@0x41300000,ramdisk RPM.bin@0x20000,rpm

Do I need use the mkelf.py at all or is there another way?

Sorry for not making this post really connected to the thread, I'm just interested...

EDIT: Tagging a smart person just to be sure he reads this :P [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

On a sidenote, the zImage compiled, I took the RPM and the ramdisk from the RC2 kernel (the boot.img here) and repackaged them with the above mkelf.py command. I only get a black screen that flashes slowly (in a bootloop, probably...?)...
