The bluetooth stuff didn't happened on me :/ But there are other issues that was happened on my device that are not the same stuff happening on your devices too :silly: Like for example the linking of apps to ext2 partition, like I said my /data is filling up for no valid reason. Thinking it might be caused by those soft reboots that I am encountering (dump data files that are causing my /data to fill up quickly)

I tried to do a clean install and removed xposed installer, it didn't help :( Soft reboots are unexpected issues that appears over time while using the device because yesterday, when I was just scrolling over the posts on Google+ (only Google+ is the only app active on that time) the system immediately froze and stopped responding, I have to hard reset it to get rid of that issue... Sorry for the bad grammar :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alexlatex:
The same, no reboots, no bugs. Maybe it seemed to me, but the incoming call sound speaker a quiet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BRAiNCHiLD95:
try this

I don't use an ext2 partition anymore..:P

Try reproducing this issue on the previous ION build...or the latest PAC build....

If it still occurs, try removing the partition, recreating it, formatting it, and then using the script and all again? worth a shot!

If the issue is there on the previous build too..it could be your sdcard getting damaged..:/

As far as soft reboots go, I've been having loads of those...1-2 per hour of usage..:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JovieBrett:
I'm currently on CM10 right now and no problems with using Link2SD. I never had problems with Link2SD on linking apps to ext partition even on the previous ION builds, this is just the first time happened on the latest build...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BRAiNCHiLD95:
:/

We can't compare battery life on CM7 to CM11...:eek:

I use it on smartassv2 max:1Ghz, min:122Mhz, I/O: Noop. Wifi is ON for me almost 10-12hours..so is Sync, plus i have mixed usage of Audio+Video..of about 2-3hrs...overall the battery life is pretty decent, except for the sudden outages that i mentioned in my previous post..

about AudioMix, go back a few pages..i did post a way to check if it was still occuring after making some changes...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
It's haida, todays build.

I've played music, installed facebook and noticed heavy slowdown at first (what a piece of unoptimized .... it is). Then I've installed Flipboard, read some articles, switched to FB etc. Phone managed to have always a ~60MB of free ram. I've had thoughts it would crash at some points but it didn't.

I'll leave it be for now and repeat the pattern later (I also have viber messaging in background).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arun Av:
Hmm sounds good to me... Ok do some more testing and come with a feedback...so that the community can understand if it's time to move on to a newer build or not ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arvoreen75:
I am on langes compile from 12.05(iyokan) only one softboot during the last 3 days. I did a complete clean install and no link2sd or similar for the moment. For the rest iuse my phone as a daily driver. So I am quite happy with this build ☺. Perhaps it could be interesting to know from those who are having massively softboots and those who have no softboots, if they have a clean install or use their sd card for data?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xeraphael:
If you don't have/need Link2sd or similar apps, it means you don't have much stuff installed on your phone. Which is probably why you're not running into RAM problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stanis64:
I am on same build for iyokan (clean install) but I have 1-2 soft reboots per day. I use Link2sd for many apps and I also uninstall many system apps that I not use it. I think that the problem is in uninstalled system apps. I am going to complete reinstall tomorrow without uninstalling any of system apps. After that I report results. ;) Btw great ROM based on ION. Thanks Mike and LXP team for your great job.

I ment some tweak for this rom 'cause I don't want to change this rom and ION kernel that's why I asked on this thread
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Petitgibus:
After the soft reboot mentionned previously on my Hallon, i finally have 2 FC of applications.

One after a call with "Record my call"

and

The other one with "CoPilot GPS" only few minutes i lauch it.

The both were running nice with the previous build, and now i'm returning on it (2014.03.19).

I use Mounts2SD with ext2 partition with a clean fresh install.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
I did a build yesterday with the latest updates.sh (for Xperia Ray, Urushi), and it's been ok for a day now, no soft reboots. (The phone did seem to need some time to wake up this morning: for about 10 seconds it showed the screen, but didn't react to touches.

It might be illusion, but it (e.g. Trebuchet) feels slightly more responsive than the 20140512 nightly, it's now comparable to pre-ION builds. Battery drain is less too than I had with 20140512, I'm now at 73% after 6 hours of moderate use, which seems normal to me.

Not sure if there's a separate discussion about this, but the built-in browser is rendering pages differently than pre-ION: tilewise and progressively. Tiles start out black, then blurred, then improve on resolution. Is this a consequence of the ION kernel, or a coincidentally introduced 'feature' of the browser? I liked the old behaviour (pre-ION?) better: pages render ok right away.

Anyway, thanks to Mike and other devs for the progress and to Langes for support with the nightlies! :highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tomi_Ohl:
Hmm... Than it would be good to have a newer nightly...

For the browser issues: it has been discussed there many times, it's like this on all ION devices, just the stronger devices render it faster, so it doesn't feel like this e.g. on a Z1.

it's working on me on Iyokan..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
My phone just died (empty battery). So it was running for about 20 hours. Sometimes I would scroll trough facebook, swith to browser, then flipboard, copilot, installed a copule of new apps and removed some others (to stress as much as possible), etc. - obviously for the night was on standby with those apps cached in background and they opened fine in the morning from where I've left.

No soft reboot and FC.

I cannot guarantee though that the issue is completely gone, might be just even harder to reproduce.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jays473:
reinstalled iyokan build by doing a clean install and so far the amount of times phone would soft reboot decrease from 1-3 times every hour to 1-2 a day.

IMO clean install is recommend coming from a pre ION build to lessen how frequent your phone may soft reboot. I ran multiple apps together after clean install to try and use as much memory as possible but it was harder to recreate the soft reboot than it was when i had dirty flash

dirty flash ION over PMEM...1-3 reboot every hour

clean install...1-2 a day
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] godlesplay:

My mango goes crazy today because doesn't boot when flash cm11/10.2 kernel (even boot logo won't appears) and only work on ICS stock based kernel and on ICS the touch screen doesn't work anymore. I tried to erase system and userdata using fasboot but it didn't work, shows only the black screen until screen turn off itself. I tried go back to stock .587 then cm11 but the happens same thing.

I can not understand what is happening.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
if you flash the cm11 kernel direct go to recovery & format (not wipe) system, data & cache bcuz of changed layouts. then install rom LX. all should be fine.

if you go back to stock ICS please make sure your re-format the partitions :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arun Av:
Gee, thanks for sharing this!!!!! Will test today and see if it does the work. Also, I think it's good to move on to a newer nightly (since the codes and stuffs got updated and fixed). However, I can wait :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukakas:
I followed this guide https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/LX-Installation-in-a-Nutshell

But I can't go to recovery because my device only shows a black screen until turned screen off itself. It's a weird issue because only happens in cm11/10.2 kernels.

Yesterday was working normally. I use cm11 for a month with no problems about flashing then my device turned off itself and these issues appears.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
hmm crazy... idk whats happen there for you... i never had problems with CM11... anyways i know some issues if i forgot to format those 3 partitions so i allways format them if i switch between ROM's ... (if i dont format them i cant enter recovery & get system bootloop)

just try: (if u want a clean install)

-install kernel via fastboot

-enter recovery by pressing vol down continuesly

-FORMAT those 3 partitions in mounts & storage menu

- now install LX rom. all should be fine now...

maybe its other problem you facing, idk exactly. sry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukakas:
I already said CM11 or 10.2 kernels can't enter to recovery because only shows the black screen even doing fastboot erase system and userdata. So I can't format those 3 partitions but I'll try to do it with another kernel, maybe cm10. And cm11 is impossible to flash if I can't go to recovery

I'll make a complete video about this. Thanks for reply.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
thats exactly what i want to say, may sorry for my bad english.

if you cant enter recovery from (cm11) kernel: flash any old kernel & FORMAT those 3 partitions, flash then desired (cm11) kernel & enter recovery.

& like said theres a diffrence between wiping & formatting. wiping via adb (or fastboot) never worked for me so i had to change to the old kernel --> format there, & tehn flash my desired kernel... (...to enter recovery)

hope you'll get it to work :)

Wait for a little when the dark screen appears.... Recovery screen will appear shortly... At least that's how it appeared to me ?

And btw...the libskia.so fix works great...as far as I knew... Libskia.so is related to font rendering. But I see it must have been causing problem.... Cause now the build is running fine... ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
Elaborate this "black screen" effect. Is the backlight on, does it get stuck on a black background with a logo in front...?

Don't format those with other kernels - that will not work - stick strictly with the guide.

Use flashtool to go stock again, see if it starts working - or SEUS if flashtool fails too. If the touch screen still doesn't work, then you have HW problem.

ROM upgrade preserving settings

Hi, What is the best way to upgrade ROM without losing the installed applications, their data and settings?

I thought that if it is just a "small" upgrade (like in my case from cm-11-20140512-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-urushi.zip to self built cm-11-20140516-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-urushi.zip) so I can just flash the kernel and the zips (rom and gapps) without wiping partitions and it will be ok, but now I can't see my applications and if some settings stayed so they do not work properly (like google account, its there, but synchronization does not work...).

Are you sure you have your bootloader unlocked?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arun Av:
I am searching through the web to gather info about zram...but in the meantime...can somebody explain in brief if it's good to have zram enabled.. For this cm11 build I can see that it's enabled already..and no option to turn it off (apart from script). I read earlier that enabling swap on sd kills the sdcard sooner..because of more read/write cycles... So how about zram? It's also kind of a swap...using internal partition. So it's risking the life of the internal partition! Am I right or totally out of the track? Let me know.... ?

EDIT: hmm... Seems like I am wrong ? . There's nothing to do with internal disk. Zram is part of the memory itself... This thread explains it good. Have a read- xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2320734
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
You shouldn't have any issues when flashing from one cm11 build to another. You also do not need to flash gapps every time unless you have an updated one. Good practice is to wipe cache and dalvic cache after flashing the ROM and then you can reboot to system.

No idea what went wrong for you to have those issues, could be that the backup process during flashing did not work ok, the ROM and the gapps package has a backup process, so could be either of the two ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukakas:
I already said that only shows the dark screen then my device turned off itself. I'm trying to use the latest cm11 build

It seems to be backlight on. I tried to go stock again but only touch screen still doesn't work. I also think is a HW problem but why cm11 doesn't accept to boot with "touch screen broken"?

Also, SEUS fails because I have bootloader unlocked I think.

bootloader unlocked since 3 years.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dlastov:
Ok, thanks a lot. Probably it was already broken before. The rom from from 20140512 worked for me flawlessly for 3 days and than suddenly I started to have a number from issues: the android.process.media stopping, later also other processes stopping and eventually Google Play restarting the phone when application installation finished. I thought that I could correct it simply with a new rom but apparently it is broken more seriously.

That's why its always a good idea to create a nandroid backup when you feel everything on device is working as they should be. If you had done this, you could have easily returned to that "flawless" condition when you started facing those fc-s. Remember this for the next time. :)

My digitizer (touch screen) has broken for second time. I can boot my mobile phone without problems and still use it with mouse+keyboard. I'm currently waiting for it to get delivered.

This time was weird, it started failing and I had to turn on screen, turn it off and turn it again on for it to work. If not, it would only work like half second, I didn't even had enough time to unlock the screen with the slider. The last weekend it stopped working. The last time, it broke off due to a fall and the screen was visible broken (almost 2m), this time isn't cracked.

Note: I'm not currently in the last build, as my digitizer broke before the last ROM was uploaded. I'm in the previous one.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
Digitizer - it's bundled with cable, this is the "glass" which you touch it. LCD is behind it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Astu04:
If what is broken is the digitizer, yes. It has nothing to do with the LCD. They're different thinks.

If only the touch screen is not working, you need to replace the digitizer. I think it only takes six screws to do it, be careful not to break the case. The process should take for the first time about an hour. You can reuse the glue used to keep the screen in place from the previous digitizer if your new one doesn't bring it, I do so without problems. You need the glue, I didn't notice it when I did it but I had to open again the mobile to get it on.

I have replaced the digitizer of two phones (HTC One? too), and Xperia Neo (V) is very very easy. You take six screw off, remove the old screen, move the glue to the new one, place it back again and connect the ribbon to the mobile phone and it's working again.

It's about 10€ if you wait for it 2~8 weeks from China, I bought it from the UK (I'm from Spain) and took around a week to arrive, but it was like 25~30€ instead. This was over a year.

20140512

20140512 on iyokan with libskia.so fix: Upgrade from 20140320.

Positives:

Nothing seems to be broken. Link2sd is working.

No more flickering in gmaps. GPS and compass are working fine.

Video recording delay is gone.

Some new features like customizable themes, bootlogo, icons etc. and incall noise cancellation(Did not test.).

Privacy guard now asks to remember the choice or not.(from CM, liked this a lot).

Wifi working.

Negatives:

Boot still takes a lot of time. Gets stuck on kernel logo for 40 secs or so.

Lower in call volume than 20140320. This was one of my beloved feature. LOUD incall volume. It's gone. Will report on bug tracker.

The whole display seems to be whitewashed. the colors are not as crisp as previous build and white is everywhere. Whites are whiter and colors are washed out.

The ROM is clearly slower(lag) than 20140320. Scrolling in system UI and browser feels very unresponsive. switching between apps is slower.

Incall UI still not showing properly.

New flash light app is cool but lacks strobe and high power mode.(This is CMs fault I think, still a -)

Did not test yet:

Battery.
