I think my device might have issues... I've never been able to mount USB under TWRP or copy files to sdcard using TWRP file manager (just hangs and have to Vol+ & power) or ADB sideload

Thought it might be the version so I upgraded from 2.7.1.0 to 2.8.0.1 but that made no difference

any suggestions as to why it might be broken? I'm all out of ideas.

stable kitkat before lollipop?

I would appreciate if we could get a stable realease with no random reboots and force closes... Hope this can be done.. I relally like this rom smooth and fast but....

No xperia ion from me ....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] brisac:
For that you will have to wait some time. You're not the only one who wants that. Currently RaymanFX doesn't own xs so we have to give him logs and feedbacks about builds so he can fix that. Just be patient. He will do it:)

Had another play when I got back home tonight,

noticed that a couple of devices were shown on my PC

forced the "Sony ADB Interface" driver onto the "Xperia S" (i think) device found in the list,

working debug now!..

managed to pull the attached file,

basically had "adb logcat > lollipop" running with the phone switched off but plugged in to USB port

switched on, let it get to the point where no more logging, pressed every button, no change, forced off with pwr&vol+

I also took a chance after reading through the first logcat and installed a Kitkat gapps nano and got a much larger dump before freeze... also attached.

Hope these help [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] :D thanks!

To expand on that:

Nobody cares what you want from it. Nobody cares what you think about it. Either help development and contribute or GTFO. Don't be that guy and ruin it for everyone here, including the developers (they don't find locking a thread very relaxing or fun).

Also about the phone search, [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] if you won't be able to find an ION, I asked around school and met a guy who's getting a new phone and selling his S. Asked about the price and he was thinking 70€, but I can probably get it a tad lower.

And I know you'd rather the phone be from an XDA person, but eBay has amazing deals on the ION ($40 what the heck).

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] A n d r 0 i d:
Please read a few pages back before making a fool of yourself, thanks.

EDIT: Apologies if this sounded harsh,

To clarify, the logcats are from an untested non-working flash of Lollipop and may hopefully shed some light on what was happening during attempted boot for RaymanFX

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anantharam:
I was trying to flash this rom and my phone doesn't seem to boot up after exiting from the recovery. It just gives a vibrate and the display wouldn't even turn on. It seems to be soft bricked and the only way to get out this mode seems to be to flash the stock rom using the flash tool. Nothing else works!

This issue seems to occur with many other roms like ParanoidAndroid,PACman,cyanogenmod, Carbon Rom and Crdroid (basically any kitkat rom) in this Xperia S thread for me!!

I thought this might be due to incompatible rom but my phone is Xperia S(LT26i) and this is thread is apparently the correct one for my phone!!!

I need some help.

I have a Xperia S, and I followed the Instructions at the google project page:

Download

Fastboot flash the boot.img inside the zip

Flash the zip in recovery

The problem is, the .zip File is not on my device. I have the Recovery Open, but I cant flash the zip file because it's not on the device.

I can't get an adb shell and push it on the device either :(

And I cant get in the OS because the only thing i've done so far is flashing the boot.img.

What can I do?

I just realized there is ADB Sideload but:

TWRP ist stucking @ "Starting ADB sideload feature..."

when running cmd -> adb sideload file.zip it says "error, device not found"

yes I'm in the correct folder.

[Solved]

I used Emma (from Sony) to reinstall the original Sony Xperia S Rom.

Then I loaded the .zip file to my sdcard and restarted the process. Now I'm running Cyanogenmod :) yay

error: status 7

Hi guys,

i am having a problem when trying to install the opensemc package.

this is what i see in the screen:

finding package..

opening package..

installing update

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:error in /sdcard/OpenSEMC-kk-alpha0.zip

(status 7)

installation aborted.

-----

this is after i had performed the steps before flashing this new package:

format /cache /data /system

so unfortunately i can not reboot into the prior system anymore to replace the zip file with another copy in case the current zip file is damaged.

i tried mounting the USB storage while in recovery mode, but it doesn't show up in my laptop (it did so before in normal phone use)

any suggestions?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
Ok, i have found a way to send the zip package through ADB sideload

so , i have done so with a fresh copy of the OpenSEMC package, i got the same error message.

After i dowloaded again the file from

http://goo.im/devs/RaymanFX/downloads/OpenSEMC/Kitkat_4.4/Nozomi

i checked it with MD5sum the result was correct.

So i don't know what is wrong with the file?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -Johannes-:
For flashing KitKat ROMs you need the newest twrp recovery, be sure you have it installed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
Cwm recovery? mounted system before flash? If not try to do so (Can go wrong sometimes...)

Maybe use twrp next time?

either way, you need to go back to stock via flashtool before
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
i was on slimbean, and apparently the recovery loader of that rom, was causing the error: status 7

so while trying, i installed a prior version of OpenSemc (4.3) and from there i installed this latest 4.4 version, everything is working fine now.

Thanks!

Just flash the boot.img included in the ROM zip and you are all set :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Try it yourself mate.

Really don't know what will you gain from this patch as I think think maybe this is included in this ROM already or a better optimization already which is why this ROM is already too smooth.

Just use dalvik patch for CM not bionic.

As stated in the OP of that thread if anything goes wrong just wipe dalvik cache and your device is good to go.

APQ8064 is the soc of the Nexus 4, a Snapdragon S4 Pro (Xperia Z has the same one). We have MSM8260, a Snapdragon S3. Clearly this patch won't work. I can't believe I have to explain this...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I kinda guessed it was a different chip set. Just out curiosity though, flashing it should just give bootloops right? And also, why are the libs tied to the soc? Is it because the chipset requires specific drivers?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
install and use a other homescreen and you become the menu to see over lockscreen menu.

here the clock is all time ok, without internet last night.

best way with many other options is Xposed installer and the module "gravitybox (KK)"

little issue, in this rom the App-launcher softkey for Navbar dosn`t work. Is there a way to fix this? App-launcher softkey was a nice option to quick open a other app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
[ROM][WiP][4.4] CM-11.0 | OpenSEMC - Alpha 0

Then it is directed at me then, first, i did read the whole op so your argument is invalid. Second, the op does say on every Krait based device that uses AOSP rom, i am not sure whether our phone is Krait based, so i'm asking, op also said that it would work on Nexus 5, which i strongly believe is not using S4pro. Perhaps i did misunderstood the op, but still, a somehow more friendly reply, will make us have a better comunity here. If i am wrong, i will definitely apologies, but i did finish the op, and my question is based on my understanding.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Or using Rayman's own opensemc app, if you don't want to install xposed, but it only enable navbar, no further customization option included.

( tip: after you enable the navbar, go to settings>interface, there will be a new setting for navbar shortcut and button :) )

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I think its worth mentioning that once enabled through the app, the Nav bar and the notification bar are no longer transparent all the time. And also on the lock screen, so aesthetically speaking, it looks really bad. I also noticed a decrease in the smoothness of the launcher and the ROM in general, when I used the app, so I disabled it. Haven't tried build.prop or the xposed module.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
[ROM][WiP][4.4] CM-11.0 | OpenSEMC - Alpha 0

I'm sorry then, but when i was using slimbean, i flashed the opensemc kernel for better battery life, and that changed my recovery from cwm to twrp, and i flashed every boot.img everytime i change rom(including this rom), and i am still on twrp.

Edit: maybe you can try change it using the goo manager app, some people said the app can do it, but i never tried it so i am not sure.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Yup, i thought it was just me, as in the rom become a bit laggy after enabled navbar, but i thought its just my psycological problem. I believe its the same no matter the navbar is enabled using which method, and actually i felt that way on every rom i tried. Maybe because our phone is not meant to use navbar so there aren't any optimization done on that part, but i really prefer navbar over the capacitive button.

And ya, the navbar and statusbar is black on lockscreen, but rayman said it would be transparent on next release, at least for the statusbar. I use nova (beta), so its still tranparent on my homescreen. Haven't noticed any problem with it, except for at the lockscreen.

[ROM][WiP][4.4] CM-11.0 | OpenSEMC - Alpha 0

Nope i am using nova launcher, the included launcher you mean the old android stock launcher?

The one is lacking a lot customization compare to nova, so i always use nova.

And i didn't have any problem with my launcher, just somehow i feel a bit more sluggish after using navbar, but i enable navbar and install app and change all the thing i want simultaneously everytime after flash a ROM so i thought it was the apps slowing it down, so i never ask here.

Actually i once read somewhere ( a ROM thread of our device), but i can't seem to remember which one it is and it was really a long time ago, that this have to do with something about the display(?)layer of the ROM, and my understanding on android is too little to know exactly what it is. Again this is according to my memory, i am not quite sure about this.

Inviato dal mio Xperia S utilizzando Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
satisfied!!

this rom is finally making this phone worth it's initial money value when it came out.

finally the battery life is staying longer then before, 2 days now constant use on 1 full charge.

which is double of what it was before , it wouldn't even go longer then 8 hours on 1 full charge.

i also seem to have lost the network failure that used to occure after i had switch on the airplane mode.

each time using airplane mode, after switching it back to normal, the airplane mode switch would kinda keep flipin on and off, causing the phone not being able to connect to the network.

that problem is gone.

so all i can say if this is the alpha release, then i cant imagine what the public relase will be like in good terms!

Thanks Rayman!

on a side note, does anyone have a quick solution for uninstalling (removing) google search?

Simply uninstall it? Maybe a root uninstaller will do, but i think it might affect some things, especially with the GEL if you use it.
