I know how to do it in Instagram, but in the others i couldn't help you, because i don't use it. For every app there's a setting.

Instagram - Settings - Advance Settings - You got to uncheck the High Quality Treatment. It will work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I don't use Instagram and the only camera app I use is Focal so I don't know about any issues there, but this fixed the bar code scanning for me: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49059668&postcount=169. Edit build.prop and change "debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3" to "debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2".

Thought I'd post that here again because it was kind of hard to find in the discussion thread.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepanshunamdeo:
and for other apps like camscanner and BBM how to fix that
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Well according to the guy who posted this, this should fix issues with all 3rd party apps. Using the camera in Google Translate works, scanning in Google Drive works. I don't use those apps you mention, but they probably use the same API's so should work. Did you try it yet, and still issues with those apps?

No issues since copied yesterday. Usually logo appeared when playing either mxplayer or vplayer as an example, none so far when played. So far it works. Thank you!

Will test further and report.

Hmm... That workaround is working but animation is become laggy..

So I need to revert..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Hey guys,

sorry you haven't heard of me the last days.

I was putting in tons of work into opensemc and testing all these changes on my device first and it seems that was a good idea.

My Xperia S device is dead right now. It only gives me a red light when plugged in and connected to my PC or a wall charger (no matter which one).

I tried all possible key combinations, but I am not getting anywhere, no fastboot, no flashmode, no recovery, nothing.

The thing is, after flashing the new kernel I had, I compared it to the BETA 3 kernel, and the md5 checksums of the new kernel's zImage equaled the checksum of the BETA 3 kernel, meaning there is no difference, the only change is located in the ramdisk.

However, this means the device should at least have shown the boot splash before deciding to 'die', but it did not do so, so this issue is likely not caused by me messing around with new stuff, but rather Sony's fault, of whatever kind.

Since this sounded suspicious and I really lost my patience with the device, I googled about the issue and guess what - numerous users experienced the exact same issue I am facing right now. The important difference, however, is that many of these people NEVER unlocked their bootloaders or even rooted the device, meaning it was running 100% stock when their devices died.

I will try to resurrect this thing for some more time, however, I am not willing to spend like 70 bucks to get this device repaired.

Let's hope my attempts at using black magic and voodoo will succeed, because not much else is going to help this guy :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
Oh no..

I hope you can resurrect your XS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chawlasrijan:
This is bad news for all of us :(

All the very best man, hope u fix it asap
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ^Reloaded^:
Sorry to hear about that [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

Did you hold power and volume up untill you could feel 3 continuous vibrations

If that doesn't work try to run a repair using SUS from below

emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com/update_service_setup

As this doesn't require your phone to be turned on to repair

Try it let me know is it working or not :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
Haha, I'm quite sure he knows what to do ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hamad335500:
It gives red light when battery is not have enough capacity to call the kernel means thats battery iz empty so charge it from wallcharger 1 hour after that hold power n volume up button after 3 vibration try to fastboot mode
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YYvo:
Had the same problem. Took 2 hours on wallcharger before the battery had enough capacity to boot the phone. After that all was fine.

Hope it gets fixed!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Well, please read my post again: I did that exactly. And about your previous reply: I did that too.

I already tried everything, I've even taken some irregular steps, removed the battery and charged it manually via a self-build charger using 500mV currency, which equals fast-charge value, so it should be safe. Even built kind of a 'physics experiment' at home to watch the exact charge/discharge of the accu, I am measuring Amperes and Volts right now to rule out potential accu-related issues.

Until now, I wasn't able to object anything suspicious, I'll dig this a bit more though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Will this ROM ever update again ?

I respect Rayman and I hope he gets a new XS soon ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
There is always option to donate you, if you are still willing to work with XS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mpiwosal:
Exactly. I'm willing to donate for repair if nothing else works. You're the only one who makes progress regarding our device so I hope you will continue your development
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] svenolio:
Maybe your battery is dead completely, you can buy a cheap replacement from Ebay and see if it works again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andreacorti:
You deserve it for your work,

Also if you never accepted it ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION]

If you are not willing to spend 70 bucks, then please take donation which most and infact many people are willing here to donate to you...

But please get it repaired...

We all are with you :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jeremy0:
If you need a battery replacement, I bought mine like this : click

And yes, put a donation form! You deserve our help!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ^Reloaded^:
Yeah donation is a great idea
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
KK, status update:

Nah, I won't accept donations :P Not just yet. Maybe when I'm going to university, because it really could help then. But I don't want people to pay me for what I am doing here. There are too many developers at xda that put a size 39779579 donation 'button' in their thread, which really looks like their only intent here is earning money, which seems to be true for some.

I *literally* threw my XS on the ground after charging the battery to 1750 mAh (which equals the maximum battery capacity). I even wrote a battery controller module for my kernel to extend Nozomi's bq27520 battery driver capabilities and guess what? - The right light disappeared. I then grabbed my keyboard real quick, fired up OS X and fastboot flashed a backup boot image I had lying around, now it seems like it's living again! :)

I'll continue my testings asap, so we can have a new build soon. Stay tuned!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andreacorti:
That's exactly the reason why we'll be happy to do it!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Hahaha... Wow great :) and respect for you :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Now there's a MIRACLE.. :D Although i don't believe in them, it probably was a good co incidence.. You really are a good dev bro.. Nice to see that u are not accepting donations, clearly inspires me.. Its all about what and how we give to others, which u just reminded me those words again... :)

Almost like homel-- um, er -- almost like the church. Yeah, that's what I meant, the church.

Wait, so the phone survived a throw to the ground? :eek:

Though tbh, mine also survived quite a few drops (literally rough around the edges xD).

Also, I'm having some compile issues with the Elite kernel (something in drivers/gpu/msm had something to do with a file not being included in /linux I think). Just gotta find my Ubuntu HDD to boot it. Guess it's a first time for everything, including losing a secondary OS harddrive. :I
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jeremy0:
What a news! Thanks.

Maybe you know it, but the beta 3 goes totally crazy when I'm listening music and enable mobile data ! The phone is really, really slow and a message "APN not found" at the bottom of the screen is present while I can surf (but don't send/receive MMS, despite the MNO settings). And the result is a massive battery drain (and the more the phone is near of 0%, the more he's slow). Also, there's always a massive delay when someone calls me before I can answer. The screen is black, I can't do anything then after a few seconds, I can anwser. EDIT: also, push notifications from apps like Oultlook or Facebook are slow to notify me, it's not instantaneous.

Finally, I can't find the private browsing anymore on the native browser.

Thank you.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I tried it, when I copied the file, it rebooted my phone before I could set permissions, but after that I could set the permissions. I haven't had a logo appear, but to be honest I haven't seen a logo appear since beta 1 so I probably don't use apps that would trigger this. It doesn't seem to break anything, but couldn't say if it fixes anything either :p.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andreacorti:
I see the logo only when the system is overloaded (cpu or flash).. e.g.: when I open the keyboard while I'm installing an app from playstore..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
The issue seems to clear once the screen has been turned off and only returns after reboot and this is what I used to figure out how to 'fix' it..however more investigation as to what's going on has highlighted that although this fix works from an end user perspective it doesn't actually fix the underlying issue it simply masks the symptoms. I will continue to investigate the problem to find a proper fix but there should no harm using the modified file for now if the boot logo issue bothers anyone enough to feel like they need to.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] airwolf1544:
My phone is very unresponsive after wake up the screen.. 10 seconds later everything is fine..

When the phone rings, it takes up to 10 secunds until the screen wakes up... i think there is something wrong with the governors...

Edit: Cant change the governor in settings / performace / processor

Via Kerneltuner the change works..

Something strange happened to me: I installed a theme from playstore and magically my phone became 10x faster. I have no idea why this happened, but its absolutely flying. The status bar pulldown is smoother than stock and CM10.1
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Which magical theme is that? ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
Yeah...a third party theme fixes lag on statusbar that some users have been facing.. However, do you mind telling which theme exactly did you install ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] entermetallica:
Its an Xperia theme available for free for CM 11. Just search cm 11 on the search bar in playstore and it will be somewhere around the top results.

See this FAQ: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49264199, the problem is mentioned in there.

Q: apps that uses camera doesn't work (barcode scanner, skype, etc), is there a fix?

A: this is reportedly working for some but it caused my phone to lag, try at your own risk. Go to build.prop, locate debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3 and change it to debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2 , this should work as a temporary workaround until Rayman fix it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sneaky55121:

Ok, but I tried sometime Bravia Engine in CM 10 and noticed that the screen glowed a little more brightness levels allow more light, have you tried?

Other question, If I install this beta version when it goes final version, can I update automatically through OTA or similar without losing the current data?

not using OTA, but you won't lose anything using recovery

BE will work only on Sony's Stock ALBUM and XR on ZU/Z1 ported Album.. And both require DRM keys which are included only on LB, so NO.. It won't work on UB.. And the glow u have seen is probably Gallery taking some extra brightness.. There might be a chance that Album app ported for CM ROMs take some extra brightness(Like Stock), since CM ROMs take less brightness when in Auto Brightness Mode than in Stock..

Really stable. Using it since beta 1 as my daily driver. I came to beta 1 from stock. To me this is really good
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
There are some bugs, check this FAQ: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49264199

But for me it's stable enough, stock has its downfalls as well. And been using as a daily driver for over a month. This really depends on what you need on a daily basis. If you mean by stable that there are no random reboots and good connectivity, well the reboots only happen in specific cases, haven't had one myself lately, maybe 3 in the past month.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] glenkocco:
well i was on cm10 ages ago and, beside some random reboots etc, it was good, but i started to hate the pure android experience XD i went back to stock-based rom because they had a better look and some good things. now i just want to try KitKat, that's why i wanted to try this rom ^^

Why kitkat 4.4.2 aosp has some fixes like purple tint in camera and display drivers working (games like subway surfers, asphalt 8 are working) and not in cm11?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
Because it uses display drivers that come from nexus 4(mako) and RaymanFX uses drivers from CAF..

Please correct me if I'm wrong

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
If you mean restoring by TB, you can but its better to flash them in recovery

No. It has TWRP. You'll need to first flash the kernel after extracting and then clean flash the ROM in TWRP(don't forget to copy the ROM to your device first)

Guys please use the general discussion thread for such questions
