Hello. I have many apps moved to SD-ext using Link2SD. I'm going to perform update to new nightly, but I suppose those apps will be erased or unlinked. Is there a way to avoid this, I mean keep those apps installed? Or the only way is to backup them, install update, restore apps to internal memory and then move to SD card again?

Thanks in advance.

Any1 have problems activating wifi on haida with last build ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
There should be a flashable zip where you got link2sd that can restore the links after you upgraded the rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] atomrat:
Hi all i noticed that soft reboot don't work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Faustop:
Sorry, but where should I find this zip?

I ask because every time I update I do the same anoying dance:

First boot after update all linked apps are missing and link2sd conplains that second partition is not mounted. I procedd to "recreate mount scripts" and rebbot.

On this second reboot everything goes to hell, the system tries to "optimize" (I guess it is creating new cache) all the linked apps and proceed to fill the data partition, everything start to crash.

In the middle of all the popups notifying me that random apps crashed I manage to launch link2sd and click the option to re-link dalvik-cache files.

Reboot again and now everything goes back to normal.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

Link2SD will write a script to /system to mount 2nd partition on sdcard, which will be erased during flashing LXP rom. There are some directories will be erased during flash too, including cache & dalvik-cache. From your post I think you using Link2SD to link app & data, right? That's why you must reboot 3 times to get all linked app & data back.

2nd partition (X) / App link (X) / data & dalvik-cache (X) => Re-create mount script, maybe app links, too.

2nd partition (V) / App link (V) / data & dalvik-cache (X) => Android will re-generate cache & dalvik-cache which could make /data full. So you need to re-linked dalvik-cache by Link2SD.

2nd partition (V) / App link (V) / data & dalvik-cache (V) => everything is normal again.

You can go to Link2SD thread for help.

does portable wifi hotspot works in latest built?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pos_ei_don:
Use mounts2sd instead. It has a zip you can install from recovery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JimmyRay:
It worked in the previous build, but just not with password authentication.

I intend to upgrade to the latest build later, so will check if authentication is working, and report back.

Did you flash the Kernel first? Anyway try again and make sure to first flash the Kernel and then the ROM.

It's working as it should now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Andr3iu:
Ok i'v flashed the kernel first, and then rom and make a clean install, the flashed recomended gapps. It seems that is some problems with kernel: britness at lowest shuts down display, can't activate wifi. I will attach some logs from lx center. I will downgrade just to use my device. Please fix this problem. thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Grof87:
You sure you are doing everything right?

1.flash kernel form the zip you downloaded

2.format/wipe everything

3.flash ROM

4.flash gapps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Andr3iu:
I'v been updating to latest relesses over a year and i did'n haved any problems until now. I'm flashing kernel with flashtool and then boot to recovery to flash rom and gapps. i'm downloading now previos relesse to see if problems still apear.

contacts stop in latest nightly (20141006)

I installed the latest nightly on my Ray, together with the recommended minimal gapps, comming from the nightly of 6.9.

I did the complete installation procedure (extract boot.img, flashed boot.img, formatted system, data and cache, did wipe data / facory reset and installed the zip file and gapps). There was no problem with the installation.

But after starting the contacts app, it stops after a few seconds.

The log file from the LX directory is attached.

Don´t see what re-flashing could resolve. I am back now on 20140907 build and everything is working fine.

Tried also the combination 20141006 nightly with minimal GApps from 20140924. But this results in the same error.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zamroni1:
Hello,

It will be more helpful if you can post following thing in change log.

1. Free internal memory after fresh install.

2. Free RAM immediately after reboot.

3. Benchmark value.

Other than stability, above information can help user to decide to install or not.

Thanks

I cannot fully agree with you. No free RAM means that before running any new app/service, android must release resources.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kv1dr:
1-Never had problem with Link2sd. It works for me.

2-ART is only for developers to test their apps with it, and it's not ready for users. Use dalvik.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] beavermml:
more free RAM = less process in the CPU = more idle time = more battery saving.. IMHO
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tajimura:
Sorry, but your HO is wrong. Android is happy not when you have plenty of free RAM, but when you have plenty of used RAM and a little bit of free RAM.

no.. what i mean that our CPU is weak to multitask.. a better anology : 1GB ram p3 vs 512MB Core i3 ( single thread ).. which one is better? i dunt know the inner working of android but for me, the lesser processes in a cpu is better..

i have been comparing GB/ICS/JB/KK till now.. always back to GB not because i want to have more free RAM, but to have lesser process in the CPU.. glad to test the new alpha3.. it is faster than JB and almost on par with GB.. but because a lot of my apps are not supported yet in KK so i hold of a liitle while..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ErecDeGraal:
Dear all,

This is an off-topic pure academic discussion.

In any case it's clear that no multi-tasking OS (and Android, Linux-based is one) is happy with no (or just a little bit) free RAM. That's the reason why Linux systems use swap disk, to increase the available RAM.

You need free RAM in order to run apps, if you don't have it, the system releases resources: move them to swap disk (if available) or kill old apps/tasks. It is clear that if you want to run apps which need lots of RAM, you need lots of RAM available. If system takes all the RAM, then you cannot run any app.

Of course, android can manage this, but which is the limit? Android cannot release resources used by system services, or it stops running :(

If you don't have free RAM (or you only have a little one), which are the victims: first old tasks, but this can also affect multitasking. Which is no good either.

On the other hand lots of free RAM is a waste (I agree with Mike), but this is a user decision.

IMHO, based on my experience, devs should provide the means to the user (RAM in this case) and users must learn how to use the them.

If you want to continue this discussion, we should open a thread to keep this as clean as possible.

Anybody who used Mounts2SD faced abnormal behaviour for Android System process(Keeping device awake and eating battery)?

My Mounts2SD settings are shown in screenshot. Am I missing something?

I already tried rebooting(since this problem happened before sometimes and was fixed by a reboot)

Thanks in advance

My phone enters fine in deep sleep. I have a battery consumption a bit higher than before (4.7%/h now and 3.9%/h before) with WiFi and data sync on. Haven't tried in 2G and with data sync off (before I had 1.9/%/h)

In my case what kills battery is data sync.

Install BetterBatteryStats, it will tell you what drains your battery

Hi all,

Quick question. I'm now on 20131127-LX and have been considering to go to 20131211-LX (hallon version). Do I need to erase everything and start from zero again? This is not very clear to me.

Thx for the help!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
Normally you do not need to erase, but since this version involves re-design of partitions, you will have to erase everything.

Subsequent versions will not require erasing everything.

Guys when someone post a problem regarding link2sd, "use mount2sd" is not a solution. Not all people wants to link all those apps to sd.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
Not always. In this case he said that there is no space free when using link2sd. It is normal. Link2sd moves only files regarding to certain apps. So it levaes still som files on phone. For ex.

The same apps:

Link2sd: 200mb free after moving apps to sd ext.

Mount2sd: 350 free after moving whole folders.

About question how to configure link2sd it was told 100 and more times here but:

- Create ext partition with pc or via cwm. You choice.

- Enter cwm, mounts and storage, mount sd-ext.

-Boot phone, install link2sd,

- Open it.

- Activate ext partition

- Reboot

- Mark which one you want to move and choose "Link selected apps" yup "link" not "move to sd"

And all should be ok. I always did it that way and worked flawlessly. If still wont be enough space for you than use Mount2sd app.

If you want to install big size games or something than use data2ext script or something but it is not working properly.

About this build. It is working flawlesly. If mike will improve this rom even more I will start to call him " MAGICIAN"

I upgraded to the latest build yesterday evening, and used the 'Nano' Gapps pack from here:

Ah, wifi authentication is fixed too.

So far, so good - can't find any problems with this rom. ;)

Outstanding work from Mike!

Additional info, to check if your partition is working check from menu>strorage info. "SD Card 2nd Partition" should be mounted and filled.

Sorry,but I don't know where is zram partition in ? because I think Zram partition is on SDcard ,but my SDcard is class 2 (very slow) and I also use mounts2SD .So I want to disable Zram for speed to open app.

IF Zram partition is on internal ,so is no problem .I will happy to still use Zram :cool:

First impression - latest nightly

Hi all,

i've upgraded last night to

cm-11-20141006-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-iyokan.zip

GApps Minimal Edition 2014-10-05 GPS 034 [240 DPI] (26 MB) from here

and my first test was to check if bluetooth is still causing wakelocks. So far i'm able to say:

Problem solved!

I've tested the following scenarios:

Enable, then disable without connecting

Enable, auto-connect to car hifi, stream music, then disable bluetooth

After a while with screen off i've checked for deepsleep with bbs, and yes, deepsleep works!

Also i've got no problem with contacts etc., browsing in contacts is possible without any fc's.

Finally it seems to be even smoother while swiping, opening apps etc.

Big Thanks to all the devs!!!

Guyz, so should i make ext4 or ext2?

Which one is better to use?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XDynamite:
Ext4 is more secure than ext2, but the card si more stressed. I think ext4 is better choice anyway (I didn't have positive experiences in the past with ext2...).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tinyXperia:
I use ext2 after reading that ext3 and ext4 is bad for sd card, previously i used fat32.

ext2 works fine for me.

I tried the whole procedure again, but still without succes.

CM11-20140906 is working fine.

Antbody an idea?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
Yup I know but results I posted are both without moving data in both link2sd and mount2sd link2sd gives lower space. If I move in mount2sd data stuff I will also grant more free space.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] doctorace92:
Ext2 is stable but little slower than ext4, more prone to data corruption but gives less stress to sdcard.

Ext4 is faster, stable, less prone to data corruption but may shorten your sdcard lifespan.. It is your choice what you want. I have been using ext4 for2 years without much problems.

F2FS, or flash friendly file system, which is also supported by link2sd, is faster than ext4 and also friendly to sdcard lifespan. It is the ideal file system for sdcards as ext4 was originally made for hard drives. But unfortunately f2fs is not supported by our kernel. Some devs like Nexus 5 have managed to backport f2fs support to Linux kernel 3.4( f2fs support came to Linux kernel 3.8 onwards only)..

Your choice ext2 or ext4?

Hi, after using newest build for ARC/S i want to report followng problems or check if someone has similar issues. becauese i dropped my phone badly few weeks ago - sometimes i think it took some HW damage, unless the previous build which was running at this time worked all fine :good:

setup: full wipe(format), install rom+minimal gapps. no other stuff done. i also reinstalled rom, to check it again.

1. 1st good one, WiFi Hotspot now fully works,big thanks! BUt, when i am in settings, enable hotspot, wait till AP connected, press back-button, then settings FC nearly every time. i will collect logs till i get device from friend. (for AP)

2. lightslider on statusbar is very slow sometimes. sometimes it even shows no reaction. or it has reaction time of 2 seconds.

3. lowest brightnes level seems be removed (i need it darker!) can it be readded, please? also it would be nice if i could switch it on with statusbar swipe like in CM10.x , since KK i need open settings->display->brightness, use the slider to enable lowest level...

4. sometimes when phone is off, its really hard to turn it on, it just shows no reatcion on pressing home or power button. after few minutes it works again..

5. when i turn off display, it goes balck but stays on, (low backgound light) for about 2 or 3 seconds then goes off..

anyway thanks for the update, its very stable, even better battery for me, just fun using this phone :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tinyXperia:
2: I would recommend first hold your finger on the statusbar a fraction of a second to let the slide down animation finish, and then start to move your finger, I have no problems with brightness control lags, unless I'm using a very demanding app.

3: for darker screen use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim (but agreed, would be easier if supported natively)

4: Also, I experience that if you reboot with the charger plugged in, the phone will 'boot' to a black screen, and won't react to anything until you pull the battery.

5: I don't experience this problem. Maybe try to disable screen off animation (i don't know if it's included in CM, otherwise use Xblast tools Xposed module.

Hello,

i just installed latest lx version on urushi and everything is fine.

I am using mounts2sd and checked it after the reboot and it says zram disabled.

As i did not reset the device i am wondering if zram is enabled on default in the build and on what size if it is enabled ? I searched the thread and found some answers, which said it was 192 MB and enabled but this sound very much.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skaveelicious:
1. I have been looking into it and already have a log for that. It's a CM bug. I know what code line is triggering it but will need some time to test and submit a fix.

4.Noticed that one aswell I thought it was my sdcard and happens really random. Good to know that the phone is still responsive after some time, because so far I had to pull the battery. I will hook up the phone and get a logcat next time it happens.

If I remember correctly there was an option under Buttons or Volume to set the events the volume keys respond to maybe by unchecking those apollo will stop from running.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nie11kun:
Yeah there's an opinion in setting (playback control) .it can seek music tracks by long press volume key... but the problem is when i haven't running the Apollo ( I am running other radio app). it will also auto running the Apollo and play the music when i long press the volume button...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
This is an ancient bug (since nAa 3.0 if I remember correctly) and it happened to me a lot of times on all devices, but it's difficult to find out what's wrong. If the screen doesn't turn on, you can leave the phone for a few minutes and if you check again it's turning on properly.
