i'm very much thankful for the hard work you have put in .i have an idea ,why don't you look at the stock ROM and improve it's stability by fixing out the bugs ?i think it would be a much easier job to work on stock ROM rather than a source code.here are the list of bugs with the stock ROM 4.2.2

1)earpiece distorts sometimes ,i even checked with the diagnostic tool the earpiece was sounding distorted but that problem faded off after sometime .therefore this problem occurs randomly.

2)poor memory management ,the stock kernel seems not to manage the resources well and i need to constantly restart the device atleast a day to keep my ROM to operate with a decent speed.

3)camera performance can be improved. i'm getting camera not available problem everytime but i soon as i clear the camera app data the problem goes out.but i'm frustrated to do this every time.

4)walkman widget flickers in the lock screen.

5)finally the battery issue ,the jelly bean 4.1.2 was offering decent battery but in 4.2.2 the drain is clearly visible.

i hope that you will look in to these issues so that we could get a good performing ROM rather than a buggy ROM.

Hi. I have not tried Vanir AOSP. But this exists on AOSPA because of the extra button there. The Hover activator. I suppose Hover does not have Hover and hence there's no extra button to occupy there.
[Sony Xperia L] Gregorypac:
install cm11 theme Galaxy s5 fix this
[Sony Xperia L] supreethms:
Well, there's difference for a workaround and a permanent fix. :) And I just mentioned the graphical bug for the developer to take a look at it.
[Sony Xperia L] nandroidz:
btw, I don't have that glitch where the setting icon besides hover gets moved to the corner on touching it :)

Other bugs i encountered:

1. Random System UI FC's,

like twice a day .

2. other bugs mentioned by the Dev

For a test build it's very stable :)

and smooth

Love the new recents

[MENTION=4018158]DeviousFusion[/MENTION] i am not asking for ETA'S

but if u can, share the progress of your build :)

anyways thanks for your hardwork

The Rom is awesome

:)
[Sony Xperia L] mizukage:
i cant find the setting to manage and reaarange the toggles.
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
just now installed the ROM without the new test build that the developer provided,thank you for the dev's for this ROM .i used the phantom kernel r16 since it says it had FIXED the HWCOMPOSER .after i installed the ROM i got some problems such as camera fc's and the display staying black when i pressed the power button to unlock the phone .but that existed only after every time i restart the device,at first time the problem occurs then the problem was solved ,as far as the camera is concerned i find the image quality is very bad .it's like the photo that was taken with the stock jelly bean 4.1.2 not even 4.2.2 and the video recording was also bad as expected due to drivers i think,therefore i request the developer to fix the image processing if possible .
[Sony Xperia L] mizukage:
google play services makes battery drain faster, it never went to deep sleep, any solution for this? this rom is currently stable for me but because of play services waking up i think to change rom.
[Sony Xperia L] NikTh:
You can install an app such as 'App Quarantine' and use it effectively to mask Google services. But you have to know that Google services are a prerequisite for other apps as well, like hangouts, drive, chrome... In other words, anything related to Google.

Sent from my C2105 (AOSPA)
[Sony Xperia L] ahsanaimad:
You can enable Privacy Guard Settings for Google Play Services and then in the permissions 'Denied' for Keep Awake and 'Allowed' for everything else. This should work as a temporary workaround.

UPDATE: Sort of like in screenshot attached.

PS: I don't know if AOSPA has privacy guard feature or not.

UPDATE 2 : You also have to turn of location feature.

I would like to mention if you use Google Now features such as location reminders and commute updates, you cannot turn of location feature and still be able to use those, in other words you my friend are screwed.
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
i see only app privacy ,can u say where is privacy guard settings?
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
going back to stock since these three problems affected the purpose of my device very heavily.

1)sound enchantments not working at all even though there is an option for it.

2)poor still camera and terrible video camera .the stock camera was so much better .

3)battery drain was more than the stock.

things that are positive with this ROM

1)good earpiece quality

2)very loud speakers

3)good performance (chrome browser works flawlessly)

4)good auto brightness control.

It's because AOSPA doesn't have QuickSettings icon in MDPI version. So that's why. (cmiiw)

after the rom is installed, if u installed it before flashing rom it will overwritten on what is inside the zip package.

i put it in the beta3 zip file, but i can't flash it!

should i install the zip then paste systemui.apk into system/priv-app ??

What I did and it worked

Extracted systemui.apk from beta2 zip

Put it in beta 3 zip (priv-app)

Flashed beta 3
[Sony Xperia L] Fuzark:
So! Flash beta3, than gapps. Go to playstore and install es file explorer, open, give root permission. Go to beta2 zip and extract systemui.apk, copy and overwrite, select systemui and go to proprieties. Give same admin permissions off all files on folder. Restart! If u need more details pm me. :thumbup:

thats great :D
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
poor camera and video recording.i know that there is no sony postprocessing drivers provided for the aosp ROM but since the same sensor is used for xperia sp,m2,c3,c2 ,will that drivers work ?also can u developer import the drivers on the latest 4.2.2 .17 update to this ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] basuraunak:
This is no place for that buddy ! There is a discussion thread.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
beta5 is awesome ... playing fifa 15 smoothly and not many bugs in the rom except that scanning thing and sometimes wake-up problem. thanks dev, keep it up :D
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
i'm in the discussion thread,as it was stated above
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
camera is awful when compared to the stock ROM and i can barely record a video with this ROM ,couldn't find any replacement to the stock ROM with this issue.also the HWcomposer problem seems to stay permanently since the kernel dev's cannot find a fix for it.i'm staying with the Stock ROM for a while until the camera and the hwcomposer problem is fixed remaining things is okay for me.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
yes camera is a big issue still. i don't click much pics but camerazoomFX is working good for me on this rom. what is hwcomposer bug?
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
HWcomposer enables UserInterface (UI) rendering via GPU. it's the problem that you get when u first boot the device or leave the device in deep sleep you will find that you will be able to see nothing for a while since the gpu can't draw the screen
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
oh yes that's annoying :/

is there any kk rom without this bug? :o
[Sony Xperia L] Fuzark:
I've tried several, if not all ROMs and there is no fix to hwcomposer. to the phantom kernel that supposedly say they have fixed it, failed.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
ohh!! and phantom kernel dev left the building i think :/

is this a kernel related bug or ro,related?? i hope someone can find a fix :/
[Sony Xperia L] Hipom:
I dont have that bug...why??
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
it's a kernel related bug and no kernel has a fix for this bug.it's the bug that we see as a blank screen when we first reboot the device or the device gets into deep sleep.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
which rom + kernel you using without that bug?
[Sony Xperia L] Hipom:
Latest cm11 and thunderzap 4.7
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
i think there might be a problem with the deep sleep ,the problem occurs only when the phone goes to deep sleep so check whether your device has any wakelocks preventing the deep sleep
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Here is a preview for the DSB - Recents Panel and Floating Mode. All work good. Will be sending the ROM out to testers and then release.

Still haven't managed to fix the QS toggle issue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfcgB0nt-a0

Those asking about better camera, that's not really possible. Google AOSP does not have post processing as good as that of Sony, which only comes on stock ROM. So it is your choice to stick with Sony or AOSP.
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
does the hwcomposer issue has been solved and does this ROM include active noise cancellation for both voice calling and video recording?since the camera is very poor can you import the camera libraries of z3 or any other libraries to this ROM because the camera is unusable especially the video recording.also i could you exactly tell where the ota update path is ?i searched for the ota update in settings but i can't find it.i need to reflash the phone everytime i get a beta update and reinstall all the apps
[Sony Xperia L] Raj joshi:
To those who complain about camera on Aospa or any other KK ROMs!!! Here's a click from Aospa ROM using Google Camera[HDR enabled]...!!
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:

[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:

[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
beta 6 or something more fun any time soon? :D

not asking for eta .. just wanna know if dev working on some update stuff? :)
[Sony Xperia L] TehHitMeh:
Not beta 6 (youll have to wait for PA team to release it), but as I understand an "official" PA 4.6 beta 5 is coming soon.
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Beta 6 is probably the last build in kitkat. The team is moving on to Lollipop builds. There maybe new features, but thats upto thecore

Not released. Use the unofficial builds for new stuff.

PS: I am not commenting on camera anymore. Nor am I porting stuff from stock, coz its not really possible. I might sound rude, but if you do not like the ROM, don't use it. I am not getting paid or anything.
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
All right..! Beta 6.

No wait..! I haven't released it yet, rather its on its way to my beta testers. Once QC is complete, I'll push it here.

Beta 6 includes:

*Recents Panel

*Hopefully faster GPS locks

*Tried fixing the Quick Setting Toggle issue

Now this is probably gonna be the last build. AOSPA team is already moving on to Lollipop, and that is where this device is headed as well. Official support is there, for now, but not guaranteed. If not, I'll keep pushing builds as the source and fixes come.

For bugs like poor camera and HWComposer wake up issue, unfortunately those issues could not be fixed with KitKat. Lollipop is altogether a different operating system, pretty much on a new code. Hopefully HWC issue maybe fixed by kernel devs.

Kindly don't compare camera to stock. Sony has proprietary software for camera, which is not available for custom roms. And believe me it is not as easy as just swapping libraries from newer phones. Many features need stuff in the framework to be compatible, which, without the proprietary source from Sony is not possible. Though keep hope. They say that Lollipop camera capabilities are better than kitkat.

AOSPA 5.0 will have a new thread so as to keep users who want to stick to AOSPA 4.0 builds happy too. I won't abandon this, I'll fix issues as fixes come by, but won't actively develop on this.

PS: For those who are about to ask "When?" ... Just know that, thats one question all devs hate. So yeah probably in a century or so. I mean at least before the year 3014 finishes.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
[MENTION=4018158]DeviousFusion[/MENTION]: Hi!! Thank you so much for all the work and support on this rom. Looking forward to next final update and lollipop stuff as well. :)

I just have 1 big request if you can manage. I tried LiquidSmooth milestone ROM and the HW Composer bug is not there. Is there anyway you can find a fix from that?? I really like this ROM better than LS otherwise :/
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Its not fixed there either. I just checked with the developer.

Those awaiting Beta 6. Test failed. No Network. Rebuilding and again thorough testing.
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
Weird cuz I never got the scanning thing after boots on that rom o.O

Anyways, waiting for your update. I hope testing goes well this time :)
[Sony Xperia L] MasterQo:
Well he may not now, but it's fixed :D
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
true :D
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
you people never understand English?

The dev said he checked me and i told him it's not fixed

that's the true

i am not a stupid to fix that problem without i know

show some respect and stop spamming

it's not a simple game

[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
