Ok, wanted to thank Great_Geek personally and give anyone interested on flashing this a heads-up on what I did.

I was on Beta 3.2 and what I did was backup and wipe everything, flash Beta 3.5, then restore my 3.2 data+Android Secure with TWRP, then wipe the camera app data (because otherwise it would crash) and restore any missing apps from NAND backup using TBPro. I have every app on my device now, and it runs fast. No overheating so far (been using it for about 2 hours now).

My performance settings are:

CPU: ondemand 384-1674MHz (XSL)

I/O Scheduler: deadline

Allow purging of assets: checked

16bit transparency: checked

I have set the three animation scales to 0.28x and I'm using Dalvik. I might go ahead and try ART in a couple of hours.

No reboots so far, charging as expected.

EDIT 1: Seeing the default Sony logo on the bootscreen is a nice touch, but I'm not sure if OpenSEMC will be happy (; Also, reboots are weird. I had to manually reboot to upgrade the SU binary, and it first took over 3 minutes to become unresponsive. I held POW+VOLUP to force a restart and it then showed the battery icon. Finally, pushed the power button and it booted up normally. Maybe it was just this time, so I can't confirm it's consistent behavior, but if anyone encounters this, don't panic.

EDIT 2: using my restore method I lost my mobile APN settings, so if you follow my steps then make sure you take note of those settings.

EDIT 3: a reboot restored my APN settings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] msshafi3:
Thanks Great_Geek, great work, been using from past 3 hours, no random reboots.

As our discussion I've done a dirty flash.,. Having just one prob camera crashes sorry for reporting this.

I installed google cam and its working well..

Thanks again...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Try wiping camera data.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kives:
Did a clean flash after PA. But while keeping the phone on charger I have allready had three reboots. First two while downloading updates from Google Play. And one while the phone was unused on the table chargin.

Have to continue diagnosting in the morning.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
0.28x animations? Did CM change that or is it a typo (pretty weird change it would be tho)?

Also, if anyone remembers back when the OpenSEMC project started, it was stated that there would be no OC. Did you make your own kernel for that OC or did Great_Geek add that all of a sudden? :IO

Also to everyone reporting bugs, on this or any other ROM; unless it's a completely clean flash, your bug reports are invalid, as most bugs that you'll see are the fault of a dirty flash instead of an actual ROM bug.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
They changed it to a slider, instead of preset options. I have a Xperia SL, that's why I can get higher speeds.

EDIT: I STRONGLY ADVICE A CLEAN FLASH. I've been getting all sorts of erratic behavior because of my dirty flash. Things like the Menu and Home buttons not working and the Quick Settings not showing up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
If you're using a SL then you'll get the 1.7 option, I don't know why I don't know how, but that's how it always have been
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chanchari:
Which GAPPS should I flash with the new release? GApps_4.4.2_signed (CM11 Beta 3.2)??

I've already clean-installed the last release Beta 3.5, I'll tell how is working from now on.

Thanks..

Attention, understand it is against moral XDA policy to post your own builds in somebody else's ROM thread. It's not considered in good form, and most folks, especially the OP, don't like it.

If you wish to promote your own ROM, then I ask you create your own ROM thread.

hi. i'm just wanna let you now

i just do a clean install of this rom (the 2nd custom rom i tried)

everythings is smooth and normal but suddenly i got FC on every apps like setting, clock, and almost other app

a reboot seems fix this so i thought it was not problem but it happened the 2nd time and i still dont know what coused it

unfortunately i did have a logcat and sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iVAn94fi:
Hi thank you for your message. yeah, i didn't explain well.. I managed to install twrp by that dd command, but when i boot in recovery and try to flash the rom, the rom fails to flash. I'll follow your suggestion. As soon as i can i'll try. Thank you again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Growly_:
Can't seem to find a working gapps for this rom, any suggestions? So many conflicts going on with bad gapps phone won't function properly :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Either try the ones in Great Geek's post (why did you not think of that?) or get PA's GApps. They'll work on most AOSP(-ish) ROMs anyways.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nixing:
RaymanFX' s ROM is just amazing. It's BETA 3 and I don't experience any major problems. Sometimes when someone is calling me, it needs 1 - 2 seconds to show the caller's name. Other times when someone is calling me, there is just a black screen and I need to press the power button in order to turn on the screen and pick up. Anyways, the ROM is fast, clean and feels smooth. Hopefully there will be an update soon, I can't wait. Thank you RaymanFX and your team for your amazing work! You make our lovely devices look and feel like brand new phones.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I concur. Today I tried to open the phone app from the slider on my lockscreen and everything started to FC. This happened after almost a full day of use. From the looks of it, considering a reboot fixes the issue, it might be a RAM related thing. I'll try other performance settings to verify if having "Allow purging of assets" checked has anything to do with it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reyfista11:
actually i dont have "Allow purging of assets" checked whet it happened

and i happened to me once the phone wont wake up from locksreen. the light bar and sound(using volume key to wake up) is on but the screen is remain off. it happened when i dwonload an apps and lock the sreen

Videoplayback and video recording bug is most imp to be fixed
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
No, no, like it searches for nearby places with numbers listed online when you search for something like pizza. I saw it in the Nexus 5. Hmm, if no one has it, then it's okay :)

EDIT: This is what I meant. http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/10/31/35828372_-_Dialer.jpg

Also, random, sounds stopped playing :\ Can't reboot, cause I'm in the middle of calibrating the battery. All sounds, system wide, just don't work. Tried setting ringer on and off, adjusted all volumes, nothing works :| Anyone with the same issue?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] revan17:
A-men. No hate here as well, to each his own...but a stock ROM is a stock ROM. My debloated stock .96 runs better than any "custom" stock ROM out there. It's just themed framework that differs, all performance "increases" are just placebo, IMO.

My years on XDA have thought me one thing; only install ROMS from guys who compile their own kernels. They're the only ones who really know the ins and outs of android.

Sorry for rant, just showing my appreciation. You're all we have left. Too bad about letama, he also seemed like a very knowledgeable and nice guy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Moscow Desire:
OK, here;s the scoop and you all listen up. I DO NOT want to repeat myself here. And this is not totally directed at the quoted person, but to ALL people.

Things will get looked at, and possibly fixed, WHEN they do. No sooner, no later.

Do you think Development is the only thing that Devs have to do? Do you ever once think that "maybe", they have work, University, families, or other things to attend to?

We (devs) do this as a hobby. Part time. Because we "want" to. Not because we "have" to. And Devs owe NOTHING to the users. No ETA's,'s , No promises, etc. It's done because it brings enjoyment. And there is no multi-millions involved.

As usual, I see little logcats, dmesg, proc files, etc, that would ever help a Dev.

Logcats are gold. Learn how to do them, or don't post. If you want to know how to help, ask.

And, sending PM;s are "private". Not for harassing Devs about when things are going to get fixed. That's illogical, rude, uncalled for, and is considered "whining". So stop it. If I find out somebody is harassing a Dev for useless nonsense, then you will find yourself on vacation. Make no mistake about it.

XDA owns the servers, Can we read PM? You figure it out.

If you are not going to contribute to development, then I kindly ask you not post. Help the Devs instead of complaining.

Thank You

[MENTION=2505474]Phantasm4489[/MENTION] fixed h/w video encoding (recording) :)

Give that man a thanks and massive props!

I'll integrate his modifications (in hardware/qcom/media) and release a new build soon.

Stay tuned for more awesomeness.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hesaps1234h:
Nice news! How about the videoplayback? Is it possible to fix?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
If recording works, playback works too.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
perhaps the video encoding is video playback. so yeah, RaymanFX said it is fixed. kudos to [MENTION=2505474]Phantasm4489[/MENTION]

if video playback is working, i'm gonna use this rom daily.

thx.

Yeeeeeeaaaaah

This made me smile after a bad day :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SavCom:
That's my thoughts exactly! It is a shame that letama has moved on, but don't we all, in time. His rom has been very stable too, but seeing the progress that has been reported here, it would be good to follow RaymanFX once again.

Two questions:

Bluetooth streaming working?

Any tips regarding moving from letama's 4.3 rom to this one - or do I just follow the instructions in the OP?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] matonka007:
I get random FC when sending SMS (com.phone.android has stopped unexpectedly) i send logcat as soon as possible, I do not know, where is problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xPeriaGUY666:
Hey does anyone knows how to get the lockscreen like the one on nexus 5 (transparent status bar + camera button in bottom right) ??

If you don't see what i mean just google "nexus 5 lockscreen" and you'll see !

Sent from my Xperia S running amazing 4.4 by RaymanFX !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Bluetooth streaming? Probably not i guess.. U will have to test it out since most users wont use the feature.. Although i would recommend u to make a clean install.. Wipe everything.. To avoid FC's and other probs..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
Hello RaymanFX,

looks so far everything is quite good, apart from any video, games and photo.

Batterydrain in deepsleep, surfing and idle now very good. The device is also not as warm up quickly.

but i have the old bug with offlinecharge. after 10 minutes in offlinecharge the phone boot itself to the system. also in this rom my both Car USB-charger(build-in 1000mA) charge only in USB mode, so the navigationsapp discharge the Battery.

Nice to see, 3D-PanoramaView in Navigon Europe works great. Better Memory managment?

and at last Camera Hardwarebutton without function, but on press the button the phone vibrate once.

about the popular game Subway Surfer. Also in this 4.4 all Versions before 1.11 are OK.

its not a break ... :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Oscar96:
Ok, guys this isn't a bug report,I would just now if you have the same problem. If I lock and try to unlock the screen when I'm on an app like Facebook,clash of clan,tapatalk and several others that phone reboots automatically instead of turning on the screen. Is it similar for you?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SavCom:
Thanks for this. Letama's 4.3 ROM transmitted the track name too, so I know what you mean. Although, to be fair, I'm less bothered about seeing the track ID on the headset, I'm more likely to have the phone in my hand if I want to see the track playing.

Do you know if the bluetooth playback stutters at all - particularly when changing cells? That's something that has plagued me with every ROM since I first switched from Gingerbread to ICS!

Thanks for replying. I see someone else has tried this and it works, so I'll give it a go. I'd do a completely clean install anyways - just wondered if the memory needed to be re-partitioned or anything as part of the upgrade.

Cheers

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reyfista11:
yeah i switched to ART this morning and everythings seems fine for now.

i had a reboot when i changed the cpu governor from interactive(default) to ondemand->conservtif. i tried to do the same on the next reboot and i gone blank screen. i think i'm not gonna touch cpu govenor again

when using ART we can't move apps to sdcard. why did using TB works? arent they do the same thing?(move app to sdcard)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I honestly have no idea. Perhaps something related to root access?

Well, point is, ART fixes that bug.

I also noticed these:

D/AndroidRuntime(21583): CheckJNI is OFF
D/dalvikvm(21583): Trying to load lib libjavacore.so 0x0
D/dalvikvm(21583): Added shared lib libjavacore.so 0x0
D/dalvikvm(21583): Trying to load lib libnativehelper.so 0x0
D/dalvikvm(21583): Added shared lib libnativehelper.so 0x0

D/dalvikvm(21583): Note: class Landroid/app/ActivityManagerNative; has 180 unimplemented (abstract) methods

This could be related to the Dalvik runtime issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reyfista11:
just run into a FC again even on ART runtime while i was setting up my action laucher(i think ART didnt fix it)

clear all on task switcher somehow fix it for a while then it FCing again
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Yeah, I was just about to update my post. The runtime is not the responsible for this problem.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3n1pif5bmdkcmp9/2014-06-25-15-22-03.txt

That's my logcat for the problem while on ART. I'll go back to OpenSEMC-U on the meantime.

BUGS

Hi,

After using CM11 beta 3.5 for a week I found this bugs, I'd like to let you know what are they and to know if all of guys share at least one of these problems:

1.- Some lag in the notification bar. (I consider this a minor bug)

2.- Still charging the phone with USB debugging mode ON, and takes too long to charge it.

3.- Random reboots, specially while charging the phone. It could reboot more than 3 o 4 times in a row.

4.- Battery drains just a bit fast, but it might be my configuration, usage or just my point of view...

5.- Root access, sometimes doesn't work and don't give permissions to an app.

6.- Overheat in the back side of the phone, above all next toback camera.

:DThank you for helping me, and sorry for my english.

Does anybody can help with logcats and kmsg? Because Great_Greek told me this and I don't know exactly what must I do... (i'm a NOOB!!:confused:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
"Problems" 1, 2, 3, and 5 did not happen to me. I'm surprised you didn't experience any FC sprees. About logcats, would you be kind enough to read the first of this list? If you really can't Google and must spam this Dev thread (you just did), then search for logcat in the Google Play Store. The first two apps that show up are most likely going to suffice. Otherwise, please go to the general thread, first. Great_Geek goes there too, and he's the responsible for beta 3.5 thus far.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gaja93:
Does anyone know if recent GreatGeek's builds are using the new Rayman's kernel he was talking about? He posted a single test build with it, and no news since then.?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yndi:
1. I've not seen.

2. I charge with debugging of, and I would say in normal time

3. Yes, having this too, also feeling it specially happens while charging. [MENTION=264560]greatg[/MENTION]eek or raymon: are logs needed: Because the changelog says less reboots, so it is a known problem, I guess.

4. Installed Google Play Services 5? I did and hell they drain battery.

5. works here

6. I've the opposite: the phone stays colder then on any other ROM I've used so far. Especially while building Dalvik (first boot or when witching to ART) the phone gets only a little bit warm.

It's most probably some kernel from Raymon with additional fixes (It say Raymon in about phone). For me it is VERY fast in usage and boot time, maybe twice as fast as older builds.

I like it very much that you put the Sony logo there.

Did a clean install and apart from these random reboots I get zero problems so far. No FC's, all important features work.

I removed the PIN from the SIM-Card for now, still have the pattern to unlock and I hope that my mother can live withe the reboots. So far, I think they are not often when not charging.

Thanks for this build to anyone involved.

[EDIT] I forgot one thing: The power button, screen on/off, is still not working always. Maybe this is related to the reboots, since it's not so often anymore too.

[EDIT2] Light sensor for automatic backgraund light is stuck at 604 lux here.

Random reboots become more frequent :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] prohibeat:
who is Raymon?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mzr7:
Lol, he probably meant Raymanfx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chanchari:
Hi,

hm9408 and Yndi, thank you for your quick response and share your problems here. What annoys me the most is the battery charge... it takes too long if debugging option is off. I'm wondering if could be realated to the kernel I'm using? Which is this one: Android version : 4.4.4 / kernel version : 3.4.0-RAYMANFX-CAF-g58ec7a0-dirty / Build number : KTU84P

About root access, is kind of weird, because the only app I had installed that needs root access was "better battery stats" and it worked fine with beta3.2 but since I installed beta 3.5 I couldnt give access permissions anymore, so app is not working properly. Anyways, I noticed that root access is working fine, because I saw it through flashtool and that's why I'm confused.

I have Google Play services v. 4.4.52 (Is it good?)

Do you think installing ART, fix the overheating problem?

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
[MENTION=5773623]chanchari[/MENTION]

Root is working fine here

And art never harm (unless you are a xposed adicted)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yndi:
GPS 4.4.52 is fine, yes.

I don't really think ART fixes the problem. Are you maybe using performance governor (not sure if available anyway) or is an app stuck/draining battery?

Are you sure battery loads faster with debugging enabled? I have an old but original Sony cable which also barely loads the phone due to loose contacts. The one supplied with the phone works good though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chanchari:
I think I figured out what was the problem. At my work I use the original cable but not he original charger.. I thought it might work fine because with the original stock ROM os Sony did it. Now I see that it doesn't. I use the charger of an iPhone, because my old phone was an iPhone 3.

The problem of loading the phone with the debugging mode switched on still persist, though

thanks!!
