We got so many users who are either studying in a school or university or have a job but some of them can't even read. I have to keep repeating the same things over and over again to different people who didn't bother to read the previous posts. Even Mike's FAQ list was useless since nobody bothered to read it, they just happily typed a new post asking the same questions repeatedly. You keep blaming Mike for this and that, but did you even heed the warnings? You all rejoiced and celebrated when CM11 came to 2011 devices, only to complain and spam the thread with nonsense like "This app FCs" or "Performance sucks". All this nonsense could have been avoided if people had read the first post saying that Mike will not be responsible if anything happens to your phone. By installing this ROM, you accept that condition.

It's the same thing with ART. Google already mentioned that ART is an experimental feature and is for developers to try out. Yet you got the curious user with not much knowledge about it and happily checks that option and reboots his phone, which gets into a bootloop. He then starts posting about it. What makes matters worse is that you got 10 other users who checked that option too and also got bootloop. The thread ends up flooded with posts of the same content.

From this two scenarios, I hope users can understand that:

- they should read the FAQ or Q&A thoroughly to get the answers they need. If they still cannot understand or cannot find relevant answers, Google it. Do not post basic questions like "How to fix my phone? Pls help." As a user, you should possess basic knowledge about your phone and what to do if it stops working.

- they should read up on relevant content before trying anything on their phone. Also, they should have a way to restore the phone to working condition should something go wrong. Do not try any mod/tweak without knowing how it will affect your phone in any way. Heed the health warnings of the devs. If they say something may go wrong, it will be at your risk to try it out. Do not blame the dev directly when you did not heed his warning.

I hope I made myself clear about this... I have also gone off topic for too long. We shall return to CM11 development. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have done so.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] popthosegaskets:
I don't see what is so hard about reading the FAQ or scrolling through a few pages to find the answer I need. Google is also there to help when you can't find anything. We devs have simplified everything for them but they still do not know or understand. I got friends who can easily beat me in DoTA(I don't even like to play it, BTW), but don't know what to do when they face a BSOD or black screen. Sometimes, the problem could be fixed simply by clicking a few things here and there and letting the computer handle the rest. Computing has become so much simpler now as compared to the 1990s but the newer generation can't seem to embrace it.

PLZ IGNORE ALL STUPID QUESTIONS

anwsering a question that can be easily searched encourages noobs to post more stupid stuff and is therefore equivalent to posting dumb questions
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] popthosegaskets:
Ignoring them is not going to work 100%. They can always post their questions somewhere else and irritate other users. They have to know that they're in the wrong and not to repeat that mistake. If they still continue in the error of their ways, you can always call a moderator in or ban the guy.

XDA practice is that if you're a noob, learn and get the knowledge you need. But users nowadays... I don't really know what to say about them.

Good tactic, but I already try it without results. Some people born & die stupid;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
This is the reason I locked all my DEV threads and I rarely answer stuff in the Q&A threads.

There is hardly any useful stuff in here. When a ROM becomes popular, no real development can be done on xda anymore.

I don't have the patience to monitor the threads and report all useless posts to moderators, I only leave the threads open so people can know that the project is still going. I have thought many times to leave xda (like many devs already did) because there is no real reason for me to stay, but I stay for the few users that respect my work.

Currently the only real development/bugfixing is done on github and that's because I can close useless issues on the bug tracker. Still 70% of the bugs that are reported there do not follow the basic rules that I mention in the 3rd post so they are closed by me immediately.

In my opinion, the whole reason that people don't follow any rules is pure laziness: they want stuff working without even researching basic things before. We forgot that xda was a place for developers that did their hobby in their free time, with nobody paying them for that. We are not customer support to answer every single stupid question.

Please stay on topic from now on.

(I'm sure this will be noticed by 1% of the users and a few post below there will be a stupid question again, ignoring everything we wrote.)

Maps shaking

This happens with stock rom for me as well as cm10.2, Google Maps 7 doesn't seem compatible with my neo v. V7 also lost several features compared to 6, and broke photo location.

sorry for asking, just to make sure before doing.

from mike's post:

Requirements:

* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)

* LT15i (Arc) users need to flash LT18i (Arc S) ftf

* MT15i (Neo) users need to flash MT11i (Neo V) ftf

it is correct if i use http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/ this tool to flash stock rom?

I built CM11 for my Xperia Ray successfully using Mike's guide yesterday, and installed it with a full wipe over stock GB. So far this ROM is impressive for an alpha build, because the grand majority of the hardware works perfectly.

The good:

-wifi seems to be perfectly stable

-gps locks quickly

-keyboard swipe also works

-There was no battery drain through the night, but this needs some more time to be sure about.

The bad:

-There is no flash button in camera(!), there is however in video recorder. This strange bug happened to me with CM10, too.

-Focus during video recording is poor.

-Real Racing 3 is lagging badly.

-Browser is lagging badly.

-2G/3G toggle not working.

-Link2SD links apps, but these apps FC, even if they do not FC in internal storage.

-Focal app sometimes FC, maybe because it's beta. Also Catlog, aLogcat apps FC so no logcats from me :P

-Wifi hotspot is detectable by my laptop, but when I tried to connect to it it gave me the BSOD for the first time ever. (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL).

-Camera saves photos to .../DCIM/Camera and not .../DCIM/100ANDRO like stock ROMs, This results in two different folders in Gallery.

-CM has merged very few features into Kitkat yet, so the ROM is still lacking customisation (like Trebuchet). This will be fixed by CM as the time goes by.

-I cant access USB settings in Settings->Storage. First time I connected my phone to the PC I unchecked MTP and know I cant't get my phone to be recognised.

-Lack of FM radio. I know there is no FM in any 4.2+ ROM, but it is a must have feature for me, and the only reason I always return to stock GB.

Overall a great effort by mikeioannina and the other devs. You guys are legends for 2011 Xperia developing. Keep up the good work!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
Works well on my Ray.

For testing, I like "GPS Test" by chartcross. Good app.

What I dislike in kitkat, is that the gps icon in the statusbar is gone. Instead you get a pinpoint icon which only means "app wants location", but it doesn't tell you if gps has a fix.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moezaka:
you can get all of those feature on gravity box xposed module, literally, all of them just like cm10.2

Privacy Guard

Notification about "Privacy Guard active" stays long after app is closed or even force closed. That's a minor problem, just wanted to mention it... WiFi seems more stable then in 10.1, or maybe that's just my assumption because of browser lag and its inability to load elements faster... Misplaced battery icons seems not linked to mdpi issue (guessing)...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:

* Swipe works fine here.

* In lockscreen when music is playing you have long press on one of the buttons (forward, pause or back) and the seek bar appears (that's how the feature is activated by default)

*You just need to drag an icon/widget to create a new page

*You have to remove ro.config.low_ram=true from build.prop. After that reboot and then in the lockscreen option in settings, you'll have an option for widget pager.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
As i stated I already have latest beta.

But I cant install modules for such simple things which are going to be part of default ROM. Otherwise it would be like going backwards.

Thats a weird requirement by android developers because the lockscreen pager anyway gets activated when Music plays, so why cant they enable it anyway? Disable low ram mode just for this is crazy idea! :D

Btw thanks, seeking in song worked as you described.

Keyboard does not work if i try to swipe. Abt home screen, i switched to nova launcher which is similar to CM10.2 trebuchet.

(Update: probably false alarm; the change might be caused by flashing the stock ftf for the first time)

Great!!

Charging a powered-off phone works now.

That was IMO a fundamental bug in all the Jellybean roms - when the battery was empty, you were in trouble.

To see what I mean: turn phone off, and connect it to charger.

> Stock ICS and LX11 boot a kernel and show a battery symbol.

> FXP and LX 10.1/10.2 will just turn the LED green and drain the battery.

fail at update.zip stage

Hi all,

I've been trying to get CM11 onto my Xperia Neo MT15i without success and I'm wondering if anyone can help me out.

I was on 4.0.4 ICS stock .587. The boot loader is unlocked and the phone is rooted. I flashed the MT11i kernel and MT11i stock firmware - then I rooted again and installed the necessary recovery app and busy box. Formatted the system, data and cache in the recovery mode (using X Parts) and it found the CM11 zip file that is located on the SD card.

However it comes up with the error that 'this package is for MT11i devices..... and I have " " device.

Do I need to install the 'hallion' version? I tried the 'haida', because I thought that my phone would be recognised as an MT11i.

Many thanks for your patience and help :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] india86:
Post flashing the stock fw you have to install the kernel included in the ZIP. Yes you have to install the Hallon version only as flashing the haida fw is just to increase the partition size noting more than that..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dsxyz:
I've tried this ROM, cm-11.0-20131225-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-anzu, on xperia Arc S and is working fine for my needs. Browser was laggy so I replaced with Opera Mini and is working fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wichi850262:
Thanks for the quick response!

So just to get things straight ;) :

1) I flash the phone with the MT11i kernel and firmware, then install the CMW apps etc....

2) I boot into recovery and format the system, data and cache

3) I install the Hallon nightly package of CM11 found in the download section.

You say that I have to install the kernel included in the ZIP file (the boot.img). Is this a separate process or does X-Part Recovery install the kernel and CM11 firmware in one go? On my attempt with the Haida version, I just put the ZIP on the SD card and that was it. Is that the correct process?

Thanks for clearing things up :)

Rich.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dsxyz:
I think you should flash the kernel that's included in ZIP file (boot.img) via fastboot. I make so when I install anzu ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] india86:
Buddy just read the OP first..all the steps are mentioned....pls find the steps from the OP.

Steps required for correct installation (order is important):

1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery(included in ZIP)

1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

2: Enter recovery, go to mounts and storage

3: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)

4: Flash update zip

5: Flash gapps (recommended package is the one provided in the link below)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hdplsa:
You don't need to install XParts since the kernel that you are going to flash already has CWM built in.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] popthosegaskets:
If you can only use XParts, it usually means you have a locked bootloader, which in turn also means you cannot install this ROM since the custom kernel it uses requires an unlocked bootloader. XParts is useful if you want to install a custom ROM on a phone with locked bootloader. However, the custom ROM must also be compatible on a stock kernel. You cannot install CM on a stock kernel, for example.
