Thanks for replying:laugh:

I started from Trinity rom version 3.4. My phone was locked so first I unlocked bootloader. CWM recovery was installed before.

Then flashed OpenSEMC-kk-alpha0.zip via recovery.

After that, my phone didn't turn on.

So I searched and found some replies

I flashed boot.img from OpenSEMC-kk-alpha0.zip using Quickimage.

Then flashed OpenSEMC-kk-alpha0.zip via recovery.

The result was same before.

I'm not a native so please understand my bad English:p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
So now you have twrp? You need to wipe your phone first. Go to twrp>wipe, after that you are good to go.

And you need to flash the gapps to get google play and such, from what you say i think you haven't done it yet.

If your native language is chinese and need some help, we can take this to pm :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
You don't have to flash gapps, it's optional.

If it still doesn't work with twrp and full wipe (advanced -> data, system, cache and dalvik) i'd recommend reflashing Form stock via flashtool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
But i think 99% of people will need gapps, at least play store :)

And i don't think he should wipe system, just swipe from the wipe screen is enough, last time when i first use twrp i wipe system, and before i reboot twrp warns me that i have no ROM installed (i did the wipe after i flashed a rom so...)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hyunsjjun:
Thanks for your help:laugh: But actually I'm not a chinese but korean:laugh:

Anyway, forgot to say, before second installation I entered twrp and did full wipe. But I didn't flash the gapps. I think it was a problem.

But I can't find any link for gapps in this post.

Let me ask one more question. Can i get walkman player and sound enhancement libs for kitkat?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Nono, gapps are optional, you will boot into the rom no matter if you flashed gapps or not, gapps is to get you the play store and such.

As for the link, i think there is one in the op, but here it is anyway, xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

If you did a full wipe and still not able to boot, then i don't know what the problem is for you.

Normally what i do is:

1. Put the rom zip and gapps in my phone

2. Flash the boot.img from the rom zip

3. Do a full wipe

4. Flash the rom and after that the gapps (sometimes i do another wipe here to feel better :p)

5. Reboot and done.

If you did the same and still not booting the i can't help anymore, perhaps others know what your problem is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
When you have KitKat running you could try acid. I was wondering too...

Just do a backup before and you should be fine, in case something is not working
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kunal7484:
You can use Viper. It is working flawlessly for me on this ROM. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Use PA gapps already posted in the thread use search button.

And for walkman ->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804609

The above is working walkman on KK. I have tried it myself so if anyone wants it flash it without hesitation.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Hey guys, I just got my Xperia SL, and I was wondering what isn't working in this ROM? Besides the video recorder.

I didn't find a general thread for this, so I have to ask the noob questions here. Thanks for understanding.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Video playback is the only issue i noticed till now, and it will be fixed in alpha 1.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
So it's stable, then?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
[ROM][WiP][4.4] CM-11.0 | OpenSEMC - Alpha 0

Its labeled as alpha, not even a beta but many users including myself think that it is very stable for a alpha. And in addition i forgot to mention in my last post that there will be some graphical glitches (the opensemc logo appears) after reboot but it will disappear after awhile so don't worry about this. And also after you flashed the rom, the second reboot would take about 10min(it will stuck at the kernel logo), leave it and it will eventually boot. Any boot after the second one will be normal. I will edit this post to add any bug that i forgotten to mention, but for now this is all i remember, and they all doesn't affect the usability of the rom. Oh and statusbar (and navbar if you use them) is black on lockscreen if this matter, will be fixed in alpha1 as well.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Oh, thanks a lot. What about battery life?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
General consensus is that it is pretty good, but I'm not sure how it compares to stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] entermetallica:
This supports offline charging, right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Yep
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
No, in my xs all opensemc do not offline charge.

After ten minutes in offline the phone boot itself to system.

Acculife is great in this rom and no more overheating wile charge online.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
for me (couple of days use, multiple charges) it's not as good as slimrom 4.2.

this one hardly makes it through a working day (moderate use of facebook/twitter/gmail/browser/music/call/whatsapp)

on slimrom my battery lasted a full day (but i always charge evening/night)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
This is initial release.. Don't compare it to semi stable ROM Slimbean.. That too slimbean had 3.1.10 kernel which is a battery saving kernel but not so good with performance.. All rayman's ROMs are with 3.4 kernels which provide real good performance.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
why can't we compare?

many people here report great battery life... i don't.

i just wanted to show the comparison to make sure it's not a matter of my xperia, battery.

and to compare something else... yes, this rom is very fast and responsive, Love it! :highfive:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sagar023:
How much is the free RAM available?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kunal7484:
For me it shows 290+ MB free normally.

Moreover there is an option to purge bitmap memory under performance settings which is useful in case of overflows.

Though I dint experianced any overflow till now :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fredericcollinss:
I hope we will have a completely stable rom with fully work hardware. Thanks for your hard work [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
n for gaming....ppl try this...(just try....n make a backup before...just in case..)

in build.prop...

find this line....

debug.composition.type=dyn

replace it with

debug.composition.type=gpu

i felt better performance in all the CM versions...

n of course in this one too...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Yes u have a right to ask.. Only about this ROM.. Its meaningless when u compare a alpha 0 ROM to a stable build ROM.. And you should also know about others' battery life is also in the same ROM.. So u need to realize whether u did something wrong or u r having some battery eating apps right?? Think about it.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NeoXP:
Compared to SlimRom I'm quit satisfied with battery-performance, but then again that's my findings...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
SMS messaging

i do have a problem with the SMS messaging function.

it does receive messages, but when i try to send a SMS message i get this:

"unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"

the rom is clean nothing added to it except the 4.4 gapps

i also can not connect to the operators APN, but i can not yet confirm that it has to do with the rom.

So, anyone else having problems with sending SMS ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Working fine for me, but I'm using hangouts. Also, did you flash the PA gapps?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
i used these gapps:

http://d-h.st/MI8

gapps-kk-20131110-artcompatible.zip
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Try using hangouts. If it still poses a problem, flash the PA gapps posted in the thread here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
Pa gaps worka fine ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
ok here is what happened,

i have reflashed the phone with only a clean rom install (uurrggghhh)

then i tried what i was doing before, and got the same error problem.

so what am i doing?

i am trying to send a instruction through SMS, as provided by the operator.

in other words , when sending an SMS to an service number, with an instruction in the text body, i get the error!

when i send a regular SMS to a phone number, all works well

So there definitely is an issue with the SMS messaging function of this rom.

hmmmm?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I guess it is. When I try to send the operator a message, I don't get a message back, sort of as if it didn't get delivered. I'm not sure, cause I don't really activate services through SMS.

Edit: I confirm the same issue, any outgoing message to the operator just crashes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
that's cause you are using Hangout as the SMS application.

i guess if you send it through the default android application, to a valid SMS service number, it might generate the error.

Sorry, i see you confirmed, thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
No, I mean, I get the exact same error. Even though it uses hangouts, I think it executes it with the same process.

ART

A few posts back someone was on about getting ART working.

I have tried all that was listed without success.

Every time i try it, i get "Google search has stopped" repeatedly and i cant do anything.

I have flashed both the Gapps version and the PA gapps provided in the posts but still nothing.

I understand that its still very experiential but if others are succeeding and some aren't there must be something different at work.

Thanks all!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
Can anyone upload a original launcher and tell me where to put it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I believe you have to turn it on before flashing the gapps. But I haven't tried it myself, so I can't really say
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] steryman:
Hey can anyone help me please? I've repacked the rom for letama's dual boot(loop partition) and I have problems with the sd(internal storage), I've tried changing some things in init.SEMC.rc but it didn't work so i'm back to the default settings. My problem is that when booting the loop partition, the sd card is mounted in the /sd directory, but the rom uses /mnt/media_rw symlinked with /storage folders. I've tried changing the symlinks and other things but I didn't do it correctly since it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how exactly can I fix this? All I need is everything to be linked to the /sd directory.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PNuT.:
was me on my sons xs & everything is still fine.... just looking at the OP though & it looks like it has been upgraded to 4.4.1? the gapps are different for 4.4 & 4.4.1 so make sure you have the right ones.... I will have a play when I get home from work & see what is occurring....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
I wonder if we get 4.4.2 in alpha 1, just for the numbers ;)

Any chance on somehow enhanced camera like on the N5?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] omegastarr:
I read that the changes in 4.4.2 are minor, so it's not that important. I don't like the idea of having the NEWEST NEWEST NEWEST android version and just raw high numbers. A bugless 4.4 should be perfectly fine and I am sure Rayman is going to achieve it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PNuT.:
Change log in post 2? Or is that planned?

Regarding Audio Issue

[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] :

I have experianced issues using Poweramp with headset keypress for next previous tracks.

Whenever I use the headset button, it completely stops the playback & than I hear no sound.

It again starts working fine when I reboot. I have taken the logcat & found errors in these two lines.

This error appears as many times as I go to next / previous tracks.

12-11 11:46:09.894 E/AudioHardwareMSM8660( 205): write(): dec_id = 2 cur_rx = 2

12-11 11:46:09.894 E/AudioHardwareMSM8660( 205): cur_rx for pcm playback = 2

Attached the complete LogCat for your reference. I hope it could help you in debugging.

Sorry for posting here, as I dint see any way to upload file in bug report section.

Thanks.

Edit : Able to replicate this even with on screen next/previous buttons.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Yes, I was pointing it - just for the numbers. I also don't see much sense in upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
Thanks guys ;) now everything works fine ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PNuT.:
I don't intend on reading a whole thread to help getting ART working on someone else's device.... thanks to your kind hospitality I will leave it to you to help

Anyone have any issues with wake lock detector? Every time I launch it, it says unable to perform task at this moment, please try later.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] steryman:
Hey guys, can anyone tell me how can I change the mountpoint to a different location(not /sdcard, /sd)? Because I'm trying to make it work for the Loop partition for Letama's Dual Booting system. I've managed to make /storage/sdcard0 to mount fine, but I just can't get /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 to point at /sd or at /storage/sdcard0, and I don't think symlink will be a good idea.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Why don't you try PMing Rayman? I mean, he has his exams and is busy, so height not get back to you immediately, but it seems no one on thread can really help... Seems kinda complicated.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
The ramdisk is responsible for mounting (init.semc.rc), but the android part is done by frameworks/base values from the overlay.

Take a look in my fuji-common device tree in overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/xml/storage.xml to see where the default mount points are by 'normal' opensemc configuration :) .

General news:

I will compile the next release today or tomorrow, video playback has been fixed for 720p/1080p usecases and portrait orientation, landscape is still broken, I'll look into it asap.

Big thanks to [MENTION=2505474]Phantasm4489[/MENTION] again for collaborating LIKE A BOSS!

Ok thanks for the tips, you're doing a great job :D Good luck with your exams if you still have any. I'll try what you said tomorrow.

Edit: I was looking for the file you said in the branch you specified but I couldn't find it(you mentioned a path it doesn't exist).

Edit 2: Ok this is strange, I've tried modifying the mount point of the partitions, and set it to /sdcard, as it would be normally, and still the /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 is empty...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

I don't know how but the zero brightness bug seems to be fixed..the screen does not blackout when I reduce to Zero brightness

Also..video playback is working both in portrait and landscape mode..tested with stock gallery and vplayer app
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] steryman:
Okay so I've tried doing some things, but still it doesn't work. I've only modified this:

mount_all /fstab.semc

or something like that with this

# losetup on storage
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /sdcard wait rw
# ro directly as misc is created by install script
mount ext4 loop@/sdcard/custom_system.ext4 /system wait ro barrier=1
setprop ro.crypto.tmpfs_options size=128m,mode=0771,uid=1000,gid=1000
mount ext4 loop@/sdcard/custom_data.ext4 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev data=ordered noauto_da_alloc
mount ext4 loop@/sdcard/custom_cache.ext4 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev data=ordered noauto_da_alloc
mount vfat /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 auto noatime nosuid noexec nodiratime rw voldmanaged=sdcard0:15 nonremovable noemulatedsd
mount auto /devices/platform/msm_hsusb_host.0 auto defaults voldmanaged=usbdisk:auto

The other things are untouched. I think I've messed something in the last 2 mount lines, as they were in the fstab.semc file(I didn't mounted mmcblk0p3 because the kernel is installed in a different way, and there is no need for recovery). Help me when you can Rayman :D

no problem guys...i'll try this again in alpha 1....:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emddummi:
Alpha 1 is online...

Gesendet von meinem Xperia S mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Yep, Alpha 1 should be available as of now.

There are some downsides on the video playback case though: Some videos might play only with sound, showing no picture and the phone might crash. We're working on this.

Remember: These are ALPHA builds. So don't expect anything you could use as a daily driver :p

Anyways, have fun flashing and testing!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DrDeeXS:
Thanks Rayman. I had been using the Holo ROM which is of course completely based on your work. I just wanted to know if I need to do a full wipe if I were to flash this Alpha 1 on top of that. Also, video playback seemed to be working fine with VPlayer on Holo ROM. Works only on VPlayer though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dclark16:
Worked like a charm! Thank you!

I didn't realise that you has to wipe that cache after you had rebooted. think thats what was causing it.

Only thing is, now the "OK Google" thing has stopped working, i've check all the languages and everything, but to no result. Anyone got any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Alpha 1 seems better and now can be used as a daily driver by the user requiring video recording/playback.

1080p video recording running fine and smooth.

Youtube working fully with HD resolution now.

Once again amazing work by RaymanFX.

The initial release was on 4th of this month and this massive update with major bug fix is released on 12th,just in 8 days speaks for RaymanFX's effort and hardwork.

Just can't imagine what will you do in your vacation.

Once again thank you RaymanFX.

Video not fully working. Maybe in stock camera apps, yeah, but on others it just doesnt. Instagram cam wont even open, snapchat is not able to record videos, skype videocall doesnt work as well.

It sucks i have to go back to letamas 4.3:/ i really thought that with this update this rom would become my daily:(
