Are there any missing features on CM 11 when compared to CM 10.1 or 10.2? For example: screen brightness control by sliding the status bar, or battery icon with the percentage on status bar (not the circle one). I'm only asking because I've flashed Dec 15th nightly on my Galaxy S i9000 and those features are missing... I'd appreciate if someone could tell me if these features are present again. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Nope...

Unfortunately those features have not yet been merged into the latest builds as of yet.

Hopefully soon!

what are differences between this and cm11 ? :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
CM11 does not has PIE control
[Sony Xperia ZL] frdan:
Its just about PIE ???
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
Yes yes ohhh yes.
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I know this is not the proper channel for posting opinions and reviews on current Nightly ROM development. I apologize for posting it here. Please don't see this as an act of defiance or anything. I am very passionate about CM ROMs and its development. I'm just trying to point out what's not good so the devs can try it out themselves, reproduce the glitches and work on a way of improving things.

I honestly think PIE Control was much better than this new, hidden virtual controls that has been implemented. This new one present on CM11 just doesn't work as intended, and I find myself pressing menus (from within an app) when I try to back out of it. I really wish someone would/could bring back PIE Controls on CM 11.

There are some other issues with Jan 13th 2014 build when it comes to functionality and some missing options/menus that were present in CM 10.1 for example.

The new camera menus are absolute crap. I can work with that, but please, someone bring back the Store on External SD card option. That's an essential feature.

The icons on default launcher are huge. What's up with that? It's all bloated and washed out... Does it look like THAT bad on a Nexus 5??? This time around I was thinking of keeping the default launcher but it looks like crap so... Any suggestions for a new launcher? I've always had Apex Pro on my previous CM installs.

The default Web Browser (I think it's called Chromium?) is performing so poorly this time around... It basically seem to have lost all of my bookmarks cause it just refuses to pull them out of the cloud like it always did since CM7 up until CM10.2. The zooming feature (double tap) just refuses to work properly. I keep on double tapping the screen and nothing happens. It's really frustrating...

I've downloaded about 11 pdf files off the internet and the system kept tabs on it as it should, but when I tried to pull down the notification bar it was performing very poorly the animation was choppy for both quick settings menu and notifications bar. Clearing the notifications history fixed this. But should this ever occur?

For some reason I'm unable to uninstall system apps with Titanium Backup or any other app.

Thank goodness DSP Manager is working properly this time around. But....

Bluetooth connection sucks. It is really really bad. It constantly cuts and skips the music playback every other 5 - 15 seconds. Is there someone looking into that? In comparison, my almost 4 year old Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 is rockin' CM 11 without this problem.

I think that this is about it. Other than that the system seems to be working properly. I can't comment on anything else since I've got CM11 running on my Xperia ZL less than 5 hours ago.

I would like to take the time to thank FXP, FreeXperia Project and the rest of the community and developers that are constantly improving and enhancing the code and the experience for all of us.

Thank you all!

Cheers!

The music playback (and other sounds) are just bugged, even without bluetooth. I dont have a bluetooth headset to try it, but you could try to increase the minimal cpu speed by one or two steps or change the governor to performance and see if this helps to fix your problem. Im don't think that we will see a fix soon. I've already posted some bugs in the fxp jira and the cm jira but there is just no action (for the sony devices), for many weeks now. I buyed my Xperia ZL because i was sick of the poor Samsung Galaxy S2 support (blame Samsung for the bad community support) but atm I have more problems with the ZL than with the old S2 :/
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
What happens with sounds in CM11? Is terrible.

[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I hear ya brother!

It's so sad that we both turned from Samsung feeling that we've been let down by their horrible developer support and we were taken by the Sony "developer friendly support" bandwagon. But when we look back (my phone is almost a year old now), it doesn't really seem that Sony has (or the dev community for that matter) helped the development of CM for our phone that much.

On a side note, my Sony Xperia ZL has just crapped out on me. About three days ago, I was taking a bunch of photos on a hot day, and I could feel the phone just burning up right beneath the camera lens. I had no coverage so I had the phone under airplane mode. All of the sudden my phone blacks out and I'm unable to get it to come on again. I ended up finding a tiny piece of stick in the woods in order to press the reset button for 5 seconds.

The phone came back up and immediately after I tried to open the camera app the phone would freeze/black out again.

Yesterday I managed to flash the latest firmware from Sony and today I flashed CM11. Everything seemed to be working well (other than the problems I've mentioned earlier today) up until I inserted my carrier's Micro SIM Card on it. The phone started warming up again and blacked out/locked on me.

I think it has something to do with the processor, radio chip and temperature.

This phone is not even 9 months old and I didn't expect it to be so weak or prone to manufacturing defects... I'm at a loss right now, and since I've unlocked it's bootloader (Sony knows it and have it registered in their servers) I probably won't qualify for manufacturers warranty.

I'm now US$ 650 poorer... :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
That sucks man....

But I wouldn't say this phone has a lack of support... Seeing as Cyanogenmod, Omni Rom, AOKP and Avatar Rom all support this device directly.

I mean Cyanogenmod11 is only built for a handful of devices right now, and the ZL is included in that list.

The problem is lack of XDA community support. People haven't gone mad with making dozens of "cloned" or "themed" versions of CM, which i think is good. Keep the crap out.

It would be nice to have the same amount of support that our cousin the Xperia Z gets, but I can't complain when most of the big guys are showin us some love.

As for your overheating issue, this phone has a built in safety that will shut it down when temps hit 45 degrees. If you forced it back on after it shut down without letting it properly cool, you may have fried the sensor. Maybe now its sensitive to any dramatic temp increase (which the s4 pro is known for), to the point that it shuts itself down quicker than it should. Not sure though. Just re-lock your bootloader and try sending it in. Worst that could happen is they say no.
[Sony Xperia ZL] feydakin:
My Power Button stopped to Work (disable display) with the newest nightly. Flashing back the one from yesterday didnt help... :(

Edit : nvm, After a Minute it works now.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Sounds like your battery died... honestly, I think that's a hardware issue they should fix whether you've unlocked it or not... (it should run when plugged into power... did you backup your TA partition prior to unlocking it?)

[Sony Xperia ZL] Phat7:
I have been using CM on Xperias since CM9 and in each version of it the Movie Studio app has not been working. The same is happening here too. It crashes when you try to export the video using any setting.

Does anybody have a working version of Movie Studio? Can anyone try to import a video, do a simple crop and then export it?
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Hmmm...

I'm unsure if there's any real way to correlate my observations with something that would be helpful...

I restored my cm11 install from earlier in the month and then installed the latest cyanogenmod.org nightly... (yeah, this is the fxp post though...)

I plugged in headphones and listened to music, stopped playing music, turned off the screen, and unplugged headphones and then awoke the phone and I assume it still thought headphones were plugged in - as I wasn't getting ANY audible notifications from the phone... until I plugged phones back in and then unplugged them while the screen was on. (might have simply been a coincidence, I haven't attempted to replicate this behavior again.

Bluetooth audio playback... several observations... Intermittent pauses in music playback - with Apollo and Pandora, most of the time these pauses were followed by a noise - almost sounded like sound note that was being played much longer than it should have been - think stutter).

The MP3's I was playing play fine with the walkman app in the current stock rom. I also noticed that notifications are kind of choppy when they play for received e-mail, etc)

Not sure what to think.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Yap. Those ate the bugs were dealing with in cyanogen builds of late. Mostly the Bluetooth audio steaming issue.

AT&T Visual Voicemail App

I have had no luck getting AT&T's visual voicemail app to work properly with any of the 4.4 AOSP builds. The app installs and configures fine, but when it comes to voicemail playback its erratic and cuts out with a loud crackling noise that requires the phone to be reset in order for it to stop.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
Awesome! Thanks as always!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
FXP305 from primary link doesnt work for me. Boots but touchscreen is unresponsive. Going back to FXP303 fixed it.

[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Its because that's release is based off of one of either Feb1 or Feb2 cm build
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ultramanoid:
It happened in CM, and not only the ZL, fixed in latest CM nightly if you want to flash forward instead of backward.
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
As others have suggested my ZL's battery is dead in just 8 months of use.

Such a great reliability for my 650 bucks, huh?

Phone only works when connected to a power source (USB cable on PC or wall charger).

I'll try to send it in through warranty here in Brazil even though I've purchased it back in the States.

Let's see what happens... Wish me luck.

On a side note, I'll never buy another Sony phone ever again. And I'll never ever buy another phone with a built-in battery, which leads me back to Samsung... That's just great....
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Ya man, Your definitely caught between a rock and a hard place...

I HAAAATE having a built in battery. Its the most anal tightening experience when you have issues with a rom and cant just pull the battery!

I also am not a big Samsung fan, but they seem to be the only ones still giving users that option.

Its funny they put so much software security with things like knox and a flash counter, yet they are the most hacker friendly having removable batteries and sd cards. Catch 22 right there.

As far as Sony phones go, i am a fan if their designs, and dev friendly community. But the ZL is my only experience with them, and I have issues with my camera already. Little black dots everywhere. And its not dirt in the lens, its the pixels gone for a ****.

Anyway, hopefully OEM's smarten up and start giving us removable and replaceable batteries again!
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
Yeah, Samsung blows.

They're the dog that has gotten too big and fat after us feeding them our hard earned filet mignon and now this overgrown dog is bitting our hands, arms, legs and butts just because it can and we're defenseless against its attacks.

What's worse?

People seem to unconsciously like to be bitten by their fat dog. I mean, they've become as proprietary as Apple with their products (Oh, your average *retard user* absolutely LOVES Apple!!!).

Samsung is nowhere near as developer friendly as Sony for example but then it comes to mind, how did that benefit us, with our crappy Xperia ZL?

There's tons of custom ROMs for SGS3 and SGS4 at this time and they're probably running better, with greater development and debugging power than our humble, but kickass ZL community.

I really don't know what I'm gonna do at this time man... More than likely they will reject my ZL here at the Brazilian repair center because it was not purchased here.

I don't know how long I'm going to be without my phone and if it takes longer than a month for them to send it back to me, then I'm toast, 'cause I won't be able to get it back in time for me to ship it to the service center in the States, wait for it to be repaired and then head out to the States for my simulator training in April.

All of this because of a stupid defective battery!

F*ck!!!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Worst case scenario you SHOULD be able to replace the battery yourself...

------>http://www.batterybay.net/Battery-f...erl350sl.htm?gclid=CJ7vzfeDuLwCFY1AMgodVD8Ajg
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I know, right?

I CAN definitely do this but since it's within the 1 year I find it extremely insulting that I take this approach.

I mean, my 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S still has its ORIGINAL 1500mAh battery alive and kickin'! And that's the phone I'm currently using since my "awesome" ZL's powerful battery fainted on me over a month ago.

So what's up with Sony and its several reports of their ZR, Z, ZL/ZQ, Z1 and so on only booting or functioning properly when plugged into a power source?

Why didn't they place some sort of worldwide recall on specific serial numbers/batches affected by this fault?

It just beats me...

Oh, wait a second.. I know why...!

It's because it would kill their reputation (if they publicly admitted they've screwed up with a recall) and they'd lose A LOT of money... It would be a lot of sh*t to hit the fan. They'd need lots of fans in order to dissipate all that stench they've manufactured themselves.

I just feel like I want my money back you know. I don't want to own such crappy device that quits its battery anywhere from 2 weeks to a year.

Look up "Xperia ZL shuts down" on Google!

Sony :

Quality assurance? - Non existent. Worldwide customer satisfaction? - What's that???
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
I used to work for Rogers which is Canada's largest wireless service provider (well one of the biggest), and sold A TON of Xperia IONS and Xperia T's. I sold so many Sony phones i actually won a PS3, lol.

I remember sending quite a number of Xperia T's and Ion's out for the same issue, and they just ended up replacing the battery.

Sony's have a voltage safety or something that prevents them from booting if they arent receiving the correct Voltage.

I got lucky and actually won this phone at a launch event. But I'd be reacting the same way as you even tho this phone didnt cost me anything.

Hopefully they will just replace the battery for you....

Getting this thread back on track.....

I flashed the CM11 nightly from 2-6 and my prior Bluetooth issues appear to be fixed! I ran Pandora through my car stereo for an hour with no skips or audio cut.. Everything is now working perfect for me!

[Sony Xperia ZL] rbulbow:
Do you mean the sound issues are gone? I'm just asking because right now I'm running AOKP without a problem, but I really like CM. Actually, I've been using CM since CM7, I think.

It'd be great to get back to it.

Thanks for the good news!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
What does CM have that AOKP doesn't that you like? Just curious. I personally prefer AOKP because of one thing, CENTER CLOCK! lol. That's the only reason I switched from cm, haha. But AOKP is CM based so its basically the same ROM just with a few extra tweaks. OmniRom has active display which is cool. P.A.C. needs to become P.A.C.O to become the ultimate blend
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
I prefer AOKP because is more stable than cm11. Aokp does not have lag playing music like cm11. With cm11 my phone reboot in some times but never with AOKP. FOR THAT REASON I PREFER AOKP.

[Sony Xperia ZL] rbulbow:
Hard to tell +ATRIXXIRTA. As I said, I just like it! And I agree with you as AOKP is CM based.

[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Not sure about the bluetooth issues myself, I'm on the 2/10 nightly and while driving I was still getting audio cut outs for ~1s every 1-2 minutes.

Though if bluetooth is fine for everyone else, might be something else that's suspect...
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Guess I should restore my nand, flash the latest nightly and see if it's the same as it was.... basically, the last time I was on CM11 or Omni bluetooth was working pretty well for music playback... battery life based on my use was kind of lacking... but honestly I tend to let too much stuff run in the background on my phone for good battery life anyway...
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
why is there lag playing musik in this rom? on CM11 is worst.

why why? whatching video too.
[Sony Xperia ZL] feydakin:
Because our CM version is using old blobs (from Android 4.2) and the devs (if they even exist for our device) have problems to include the newer 4.3 blobs. You can fix the lag by set the minimum cpu speed to 4xx mhz, but this will ofc lower your battery time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ultramanoid:
They exist. And fix code for this device, as for many others.
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
This mean that installing this file the lag will reduce to cero?

Enviado desde mi C6502 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZL] feydakin:
No, this "file" has nothing to do with the music lag. It just should show that there is still development for our device :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
people need to learn to lighten up. Christ, just because you don't have android 4.4 CM working absolutely flawlessly on your device a couple of months after Aosp KitKat came out doesn't mean dev work for the ZL has suddenly stopped. If you have an issues with current nightlies for any KitKat rom that you can't live with then by all means please go back to the latest stable release. Stick to stable until your favorite feature is implemented or fixed and then hop over. Keep checking BBQ log every once in a while and for the love of God don't go around saying things like "nobody's working on our device anymore". You're not entitled to anything unless you're running stock Sony software.

[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
I know right! Cyanogenmod, AOKP, OMNI, P.A.C, MiUi, Avatar... All these roms are developed for the ZL by those devs directly. No unstable ports or builds. That's pretty awesome I'd say. And they are called "nightlies" for a reason!
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
The recent changelog shows a number of changes in 'Android external f2fs tools'... Is that for the building tools or has to do with SD card?

Would be awesome if someone could enlighten :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Exactly. The meaning of "nightly" seems to get diluted slowly but surely for some reason. Just because you can flash something on your device doesn't mean you should. Not unless you're perfectly aware of what it is you're flashing in the first place. If you flash nightlies, be prepared to encounter bugs, broken/missing features and most important of all to report said bugs and broken/missing features in a constructive and non-condescending way.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rbulbow:
To be honest, the only problem I'm having right now is the sound issue. It is crappy indeed, but everything else is working so well. I hope they'll soon find a solution for this thing because I simply love this ROM.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
I think once Sony releases its Kit Kat firmware the CM devs will have something to work with and get the issues ironed out.
