ummm... is it just me or is it ironic that the "stamina mode" screen is bright white instead of black (bright white draining considerably more battery)....

Anyway, last night I installed cm-11.0-20140320-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-urushi after full wipes and reset, coming from Carbon ROM with the Dark Kernel. I kept the flash clean (ie no other apps) and was surprised that i had no issues whatsoever! I also found it pretty snappy (again purely stock). I could send SMS, make calls and even record video at hi-def (but not true 720p of course). I was really expecting the ION kernel to cause problems, but I couldn't fault it (in a few hours use). I even tried turning on ART, and that worked as well. The only problem I found (which was not evident without ART) was when I went into the dialler, pressed the "phone" symbol at the bottom, it disappeared but returned on the second press and the third press displayed the actual dialler.

Great work! I was expecting possible issues as I have an ST18A that was purchased pretty late (lost my first one)

No. White pixels consumes much battery compared to dark pixels in LCD displays also. I agree with DiamondJohn.

You can try with ez pdf reader(night mode vs day mode).

The consumption varied due to pixel state it's irrelevant.

WiFi issue

Hi all! I have a problem.

Today i build from sources ROM for my hallon (2014.05.03). And in ROM i can't enable Wi-fi. Of course, i did clean install, and i've tried flash another kernel from Rom 2014.04.20, where WiFi is stable. Nothing. :(

Now i stayed in ROM from 2014.04.20.

Can anyone help me?

Is there a chance to apply this feature to mike's rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
This ROM is supposed to be pure cm11 without any mods..Read the first post bro...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tinyXperia:
Two things regarding bugs:

Is this happening for everyone, or can calls be made without problems (haven't find the possibility to test it myself yet)?

[haida - In call mic volume is very low, person at other end is not able to hear at normal voice #547]

And second thing: Like in all 4.1 and up CM-based custom ROMs (whether FXP or LX), mircophone recording volume is very low (though I know at least for FXP ROMs that in-call volume is fine). I don't know if this is the same issue in the bug tracker (since actually there is sound recorded, albeit very soft), but Mike commented that it would be fixed in current builds.

So I was wondering why this is such a persistent bug, which hasn't been fixed in ROMs dating as far back as early 2012 (FXP CM10). Can anyone explain what causes this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] datumdatzgr:
Is ZRAM enabled by default in pure CM11, too?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
You are asking for a full mod which deviates whole ROM from CMxx pureness, ZRAM settings is already there - in that case we are talking about sensible default settings.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] datumdatzgr:
Is there any option in this rom for disabling ZRAM? (I can only disable it with an init.d script, coz zram increases lag).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
Yes, under performance options. It is already off in newer builds.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mardon:
You are wrong.

Option is removed because it should stay on and its on by default.

That doesn't make sense. LCD works by having a white background, a backlight which illuminates the background and a grid of liquid crystals which when a current is passed through them they turn black and stops the white from showing through.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

"Before an electric field is applied, the orientation of the liquid-crystal molecules is determined by the alignment at the surfaces of electrodes. In a twisted nematic device (still the most common liquid-crystal device), the surface alignment directions at the two electrodes are perpendicular to each other, and so the molecules arrange themselves in a helical structure, or twist. This induces the rotation of the polarization of the incident light, and the device appears gray. If the applied voltage is large enough, the liquid crystal molecules in the center of the layer are almost completely untwisted and the polarization of the incident light is not rotated as it passes through the liquid crystal layer. This light will then be mainly polarized perpendicular to the second filter, and thus be blocked and the pixel will appear black. By controlling the voltage applied across the liquid crystal layer in each pixel, light can be allowed to pass through in varying amounts thus constituting different levels of gray."

OLED is the opposite as it doesn't have a backlight and it's the pixels that emit light.

Kernel Bug

After a reboot, I always get an alert dialog "New Simcard , restart the device..." , seems to be a kernel bug because I don't have this with the other kernels I have used with Kitkat ROMs for my Xperia Ray. Is there any work around ?

If disabling 720p recording gives more ram, is it possible to release an alternative kernel without any video recording feature thus yielding more ram available? Or will it yield more ram at all?

For example, i dont use video recording, it will be very good for me.

A workaround for the popup has just been pushed to LX repos

If someone wants to do it, he can release that kernel, I will not work on it since it's a waste of time.

Your battery is busted. Either replace it and get guarantee from the manufacturer or buy a new phone altogether.

You can also continue using this one, but keep in mind it can leak and injure you.

Hi guys..

I have a problem.. I've reported it here previously and some members told me to flash stock .ftf to be solved but it didn't..

the problem is that the display gets off.. I thought that I need to switch it off in order to get it on again, but I was wrong..

I've found that I have to cool the mobile (by putting it in the fridge) to get it on again, it's really annoying!!!

well here in my country the weather is about (35 C) but I've used my mobile in hotter places before without this problem!!

I need a way to let me know if it's a software or a hardware issue..

I'm now using cm-11-20140502 test build.. I tried an older versions (PMEM and ION) but no luck!!

if anyone can help I'll be thankfull.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shubh_007:
Does the phone shut down even when you are on stock rom? If yes and if when it shuts down it is warm then it has to be a hardware issue only. If it works fine while on stock rom and other roms then we should probably think of some other reasons. :)

And since you said you have to cool it I guess it would be a hardware problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M7ammad.eb:
I'm now flashing the stock .ftf and gonna try it for sometime.. and I'll feed back later.. thanks for responding :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] burny:
Hi!

I had the same problem once on CM 10.2. It took me a while to figure out what the reason was. Everytime after starting the gallery (which at first seemed to work alright), the phone got sluggish, and after a minute or two, it rebooted.

Finally, the solution was to delete all the pictures the gallery would find to show (from a file explorer), until it didn't show anything at all. Since then, it has been working.

There was probably one picture it didn't like ;)

You could backup the pictures and move them back to find out which picture caused the trouble..

Hope it helps..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
Nope. I actually didn't have a spontaneous reboot since FXP cm10 (using latest ION builds). Either it's a bad flash, or might be hardware related.

hardware, i doubt it, no issues before installing cm11

i recall seeing the stock gallery constantly crashing on a samsung device due to a picture but that was limited to the gallery app and it did not bring down the whole system
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
Do a fsck on sd card partition then, it could be probably corrupted.

Yes, user apps should not bring the whole system down.

link2sd or mount2sd on lx cm11?

hey guys,

now that my urushi (currently with fxp cm10) is making me sick with decreasing space on internal storage and non-updating apps because of not having enough space i'm finally fed up enough and would like to install either link2sd or mount2sd. and as i'm just ready doing that i decided to switch from fxp cm10 to lx cm11 (cm-11.0-20140320-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-urushi.zip).

now my question: which "2sd" app is to be preferred for lx cm11 - link2sd or mount2sd?

in this thread is read that some prefer mount2sd over link2sd, but also vice versa - which leaves me a bit baffled ;) link2sd _seems_ to be better maintained (last update in play store may 6th 2014) than moun2sd (last update nov 1st 2013), but on the other hand maybe it's just as good as it is?

i'm not a "specialist in flashing" etc., but i'm willing to read how-tos, guides etc. maybe this is an indicator which of the two apps is suited better for me. which has better documentation or "user help users lobby"?

thx a lot :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M7ammad.eb:
well I've slowed the CPU down to (460 MHz) and that decreased the problem too much.. and the phone working fine..

I'm gonna see if it not gonna cost me too much to fix I will..

honestly I'm waiting for project ARA (phoneblocks) and will use my anzu till it get released :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ErecDeGraal:
I've used both of them and I prefer (personally) mounts2sd, but it depends on what you want. If you want to move to the ext4 partition only some apps, then use link2sd. If you want to move all of them (and have an easy way to restore the config after updating your ROM), then go to mounts2sd.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lyrabee:
is ext4 to be preferred over ext2 of which i read also quite often in that context? and: is init.d implemented in CM generally - eg. in my current fxp cm10 and then in lx cm11?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ErecDeGraal:
I will say ext4 is preferred, but it's a personal opinion. Do some Google (ext2 vs ext4) and decide by yourself. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
Mhm doesnt matter on phone if this is ext2,3 or 4. I used ext 2, now since few month using ext 4 and no problem at all.

Link2sd is best for single apps- in paid version move app data also now.

Mount2sd I dont know. I had problems with using this app. But it depends how you will make it. After clean install or after using phone some time.

Or use script to move apps to sd ext. Im using this now without any problems, sometimes not recognize sim but restart helps so no big deal. TThis one i better than using app, it faster and lighter
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skaveelicious:
I have tried borth, mounts2sd moves everything and as far as I remember its 100% free. I did decide to try and stay with link2sd because it gave me more control because you can move only the apps you want. Downside is that only the premium version (1.60Euros i think) can move everything (move data files = premium). But imo for that amount I'm more than happy to donate, since I know how much time and effort it takes to develop something and I'm more than happy to support.
