Bro, just go to the play store, uninstall the updates to Google search, update, do the same for hangouts and reboot. :) should be fine. Cause I didn't have to wipe anything to fix it, and its working flawlessly. Except the video call still refuses to end.

Thanks bro, i mean i have done everything i could think of ( uninstalling and reinstalling, that doesn't work so i reflashed Gapps, doesn't work either) and it still crash, if the update does make it stop crashing, i guess only a clean flash will do the trick...if even a clean flash doesn't work, then i have completely no idea already, as others seems to be fine with it...

First I must say, it runs smooth and does well - for it is called an "alpha".:good:

But one thing I want to change is the density/dpi. I have looked around but found no switch to do so. Currently the HD display looks like an old 800x400 screen. On slimbeam (4.2.2) there was a switch to change the dpi - I wonder if this CM-based ROM has it too somewhere. :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Install xposed framework. I think it has a module to adjust the DPI.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] entermetallica:
You can change it through build.prop. There is a command but I forgot what its exactly called, you'll find it though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
You can edit the build.prop yourself , the line is

ro.sf.lcd_density=320

Do note that this corresponds to xhdpi's mean value,

which means less scaling for graphics in properly configured apps

Our actual screen density is 341.535995362
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sascha.broich:
Thanks for the info.

When I open Dev Tools -> Configuration the DisplayMetrics say

density=2.0
densityDpi=320
heightPixels=1280
scaledDensity=2.0
widthPixels=720
xdpi=160.421
ydpi=160.157

Had a look into the slimbeam-zip. The line there says

ro.sf.lcd_density=245

At least now I know where/what to look.

But in conclusion thanks for your hard work Rayman !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
well i just built raymans branch.

I've had a look at the camera and its failing with

E/HAL ( 193): load: module=/system/lib/hw/camera.msm8660.so

E/HAL ( 193): dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android10VectorImpl19reservedVectorImpl1Ev" referenced by "camera.msm8660.so"...

E/CameraService( 193): Could not load camera HAL module

this looks to be because android_frameworks_native/libs/utils has been moved and changed in cm11.0 and the VectorImpl class is needed by our camera driver.

i think this might help:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/f4866b51bb152b3404c6238f1770577953030e0e

The screenshot stuff is broken because the BOARD_EGL_NEEDS_LEGACY_FB stuff isn't in cm11 and we need it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
This doesn't make too much sense.

All the 'generic' patches for new android versions, I can pull them in myself easily.

The main thing getting screwed each version change is/are the display driver(s).

So, no, in this case, even reference devices using the same chipset do not help very much (Samsung msm8660 is a tad closer).

Oh, and the developer of that rom is already part of the OpenSEMC team. Just a sidenote.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] what do you think about ART? Is it the android future? If this is avaible in your 4.4 ROM can you see any difference between this and existing dalvik?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
I don't know why you guys still don't understand this..

There will never be more RAM than now is. ION is eating up our memory, I had to increase ION memory pools so 4.2/4.3 would not soft-reboot constantly. I explained this in a more detailed way some time ago and felt happy doing so, but explaining the same thing over and over again can get - well - quite frustrating, you know :)

It seems to give a performance gain, especially because it is coded in a more 'native' way.

It is performing highly unstable though and is far from being as 'usable' as Dalvik, atleast as of now.

I'd prefer not to include/activate it just yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Yes bro.. I just thought there might be an alternative to come in future.. So.. Never mind.. Its ok.. I'm sorry.. :)

Hi,

i am currently on your CM10.1 (which is a 99% finished rom i think).

What's about the progress of your CM11? Is it worth waiting?

I dont wanna upgrade to 10.2 (with all wipes) and do the same 2 weeks later again for CM11 ;)

Thx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I believe the display drivers are the only problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Hi guys!

I flashed this ROM (through recovery) and I have to say it looks good.

After flashing I noticed I forgot to flash the gapps package. It should be done in the recovery, right?

However I don't know how to access the recovery right now. Before flashing this ROM, in order to access the recovery, I had to repetitively tap the screen (or press the volume buttons, I don't remember). However this doesn't seem to work now.

Can anyone help me? How can I access the recovery?

I'll add that turning on the phone now is a bit odd; it takes time and it doesn't turn on immediately and not always too.

Please help me! Thanks a lot guys.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
1. Enable developer options and there enable advanced reboot.

OR

2. On boot press volume up
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Hi thanks. Yes, volume up did work!

Now I'm afraid I have a bigger problem. I erased everything inside the phone, so I do not have an OS right now. I just have this 4.3.1 ROM's recovery. How can I send the files I want to flash over to the phone? My PC is not recognizing any phone when I connect it via USB. ADB is not working for me. When I try to flash a ftf via flashtool the phone just exits the flashmode in the middle of the process so flashtool aborts everything.

I feel I'm stuck! Having a simple way to send files to the sdcard right now would be perfect... But how? Any advice?

Thanks a lot guys... Bear with me...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ZyrByt:
Try this:

Reboot into recovery

search for "adb sideload" option

launch it and send flashable zip with

adb sideload path_to_filename.zip
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Download the ftf again or try another one. There's no reason flashtool doesn't work so it's either the ftf or your drivers (try using flashtool on Windows 7, if you were trying on 8 ).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andreacorti:
same thing with my pc: use a win7 x86 (not x64); I noticed a lot of problems with some USB controllers on x64 versions of win7 and 8
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Don't forget about trying run adb in administrator mode, I had to do that on Ubuntu.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Thanks for the replies everyone!

Yeah I guess ADB is my only option as for now, the bad thing is that it never worked for me... I'm already on Win7 x64, so I'll try on a x86 system.

About flashtool: don't know. The ftf looks ok, and I guess that is not the problem; it hangs in the middle of the flashing, when it says "Reading device information". Then the device exits the flashmode and flashtool aborts the operation. I have previously installed the driver for my device (I found the drivers in a folder of flashtool). So I don't really know what the problem may be...

I'll try everything with ADB, hoping that I'll get it to work! Otherwise I don't see many options left :( Thanks anyways to all who tried to help...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
check windows's device manager for unrecognized usb drivers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Yes, that was it! Drivers weren't properly configured.

I'm sending ROM and gapps right now via ADB sideload, I'll flash them afterwards and let's see...

EDIT: Ok, it flashes them automatically with ADB sideload. I flashed ROM and gapps twice for mistake XD I'll reboot into OS right now and let you guys know! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
There are still some significant issues with cm11 and it is still very much a work in progress (even from a cyanogenmod perspective not just from an xperia-s/opensemc perspective) changes are going in daily that break things and then fix them again. Some features from 10.2 are not yet ported to cm11.

I wouldnt expect anything as near finished as cm10.2 for some while yet. There aren't even any official nightlies for cm11 yet. Any cm11 ports are purely alpha builds (even pre-alpha to be honest)

Also there isnt necessarily any need to wipe each time you upgrade from one version of cm to another. I generally dont bother wiping and cm seems to cope pretty well.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I have dirty flashed once or twice, but wiping before a new install is more of a placebo. Gives the feeling of a fresh start, makes sure nothing causes untoward battery drain, no settings left behind.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Wiping before flash gives u a break from battery drain, apps FCs and other system issues..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
I tried this ROM a bit more in-depth now, and I have to say... Damn, it's great! Rayman, you did an outstanding job. IMO it's not an alpha at all ;)

I'm not ready to jump to CM 10.2 either, and to be honest, have very little reason to do so anyway, as CM 10.1 is mostly working really well for my needs.

I'm interested to know if you're going at least do a refresh on the current build (RC2) containing the fix for the Hangouts / VOIP bug. If you're not going to touch CM 10.1 though, I'm going to build it myself and post it here (though I still have to repo sync, and will probably leave my box doing this over the weekend). Meanwhile, I'll try to figure out the camera blobs and make a package to inject them into the current RC2, so the issue with stutter on 1080p recordings gets fixed. I've already built a kernel, based off [MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION] 's kernel, with the changes from Sony's latest kernel (6.2.B.1.96) merged - hence, the annoying vol+ issue is fixed and the OOM tweaks from sony trickled in too.

However, I'll only release all this stuff I'm working on if you're not going to do your own build, so OpenSEMC development doesn't get dilluted.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DrDeeXS:
Great work mate. Seems like you are the one of the very few remaining committed AOSP based ROM devs for XS. Can I give an opinion though? Why take all this trouble for Android 4.3? It's just a incremental update from 4.2 right? Why don't you just sit back, take some well deserved rest and perhaps iron out a few of the bugs with CM 10.1? The requests for working on Android 4.4 are gonna come in thick and fast as soon as Google releases it and we hope you'll be able to help us all out with that. Until then, why don't you put your feet up and chill? Thanks once again.

Next 4.4 is gonna be out by the end of next month and they forget and don't want 4.3 anymore and keep pushing him to 4.4, leaving him with unfinished work of 4.2 and eventually 4.3..

Thanks for the kind offer, but I'm afraid this won't really help much...

What I need are capable developers, who can work independently on kernel modules and whatnot.

People like Letama, who have the necessary knowledge to get things going, I happily remember our collaboration, we could exchange thoughts as well as code, and we were working together, eventhough we had different, independent projects.

Now that he's gone, I kinda feel lonely. Absolutely.

I just got myself a new Nexus 7 (flo) to play with, but I'll keep the Xperia S as my main phone and I'll keep it alive.

It won't die anytime soon if anything goes as planned.

There will be one, soon. I want to refine several things before releasing it though, if you can't wait, you're always free to sync my sources and build. My sources are bootable right away.
