What do you mean? The Xperia's speakers are usually loud enough to annoy a 100 m² office with ringtones and notifications set to 7/7 - have you made sure that you maxed out the sound levels?

BTW.:

I don't wanna mess up the Dev thread, so are there any long-term experiences with Beta 3.5? I've read of FCs (regardless if using ART or Dalvik), reboots and charging issue... Is there anyone with a properly running device after a clean flash (@hm9408??? :confused: ).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
If you're talking about the speakers, maybe because there's no xLoud, but that's not going to be ported (so don't bother a developer with questions like that...) and in my opinion the speaker is loud enough as it is. If you need it louder, maybe you need a hearing aide. Lots of other phones are a lot quieter as it is.

If you're talking about the earpiece when making phone calls, that's always been quiet even on stock and it's my main annoyance with this phone. There can be no background noise when I'm making a call or I don't hear the opposite party.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
xLoud is software, you can equalize with DSP Manager and get similar results.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
I really don't wanna bug any of the devs contributing to this project, especially not RaymanFX, who already achieved a lot for the community, but it would be really great if we'd get a (relatively) stable build other than 3.2, which is already a couple of months old... :(

It's great to get the perfect kernel and CM11 upstream changes, but that actually doesn't matter it feels great for 5 minutes on the home screen and then the first reboots and FCs occur... Even if in a very performant way... :D

Does anyone know if there are any ongoing efforts to put out a stable version? By Rayman or one of the others providing builds...?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Yes there are, rayman and great geek has been doing some works, you can see the github that changes are being push although slowly, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot more going outside of github, but isn't pushed because of stability. But of course, development has been slowing down that's for sure.

Random reboots

Hey, does anybody know what i can do against the random reboots in beta v3.5 (especially while charging, but while not,too) ?

Greets
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Yes, by not using it, actually... :D

I think it was entitled as non-daily-driver in the post announcing this build, you have to wait for stable builds... as I do. Use one of the older versions (3.2) and you're still getting KitKat, but on a more conservative (and stable!) kernel.

Sounds disappointing, but that's life when you are waiting for cutting-edge Android on a device being released over two years ago.

I'm just waiting for the right moment to get a Z1 Compact around 300 bucks, you can't expect support on a legacy device, especially if it's not as popular as the Galaxy S2.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Julian97:
but then i have to reinstall everything and set everything up new :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CaLix25:
can someone confirm that v3.5 can use in daily driver?i have 1 phone and i use this in my work, thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Julian97:
I have solved the problem with random reboots with moving the minimum cpu rate to 648 Mhz. Battery for me doesnt seem to drain much more faster. Except that i guess beta 3.5 is pretty good speedwise and functionalwise. Sometimes the settings app crushes, but that happens so few times, that its not very important for the stability of this rom i guess.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CaLix25:
ok bro, thank for your info, im gonna try this rom, ammm by the way, is there any other issue that you encounter and how did you manage that?

sorry for bad english
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Julian97:
you have to go to settings, then on about telefon( dont know the exact because my software is on german), then multiple times click on build number until you are developer, then on the bottom at settings there you have to go to performance and set the minimum to 648.

Other issues i found is that radio doesnt work( but that works on no other rom i know aswell), and whatsapp messages sometimes only appear when i open the app. But that can have to do with my phone, because i had this problem few months ago, too. I didnt try root and many other features so cant tell you about the other features.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CaLix25:
ok bro, i will try this rom now, will report back!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
So no random FC spree?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Julian97:
what meens FC spree?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
After a while my phone has random crashes and force closes for every app, and I must reboot the phone to fix this. Only happens with the 4.4.4 builds, including beta 3.5 and the latest nightly by whitexp
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Julian97:
Happened to me twice in the last 3 days. 1 time at twitter, and once at the settings app. Bt not every app was closed immediatly, just this ones were shut down.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
How did u flash the rom?

Here is how I flash Roms and I haven't EVER faced long reboot issue

1) Wipe everything except sdcard

2) Flash rom and gapps (together)

3) Wipe everything except system and sdcard

Beta 1 did refuse to reboot (I had to press power + vol up to reboot) but flashing the boot.img fixed it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linus207:
I think you won't be dissapointed using it as daily. It's way way faster then stock. It bassicaly feels like a brand new phone. Some users saying about bugs but I dont have any. Battery is awesome. 4+ hours screen on time, wifi and google now is on, all the time. During my sleep Time at night (7 hours) battery loses 2% So if you want a feel of totaly new phone I recomend you to do That. If you make nandroid backup in recovery before flashing cm11 you wont loose anything, and you will have option to revert to your stock ROM when anything goes wrong or you Just dont like cm11

I use latest "unofficial" OpenSEMC 3.5 BETA with custom kernel, minimal gApps and have almost everything running fine and smooth. Other than FM radio (which is not working and never will), there are some issues with 3D applications (personally I couldn't care less) and some rare FC (which are annoying, but bearable). The battery life is amazing compared to stock, the performance is great, and its always nice to have the latest and greatest from the android branch (4.4.4) and CM (M9 release).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Julian97:
i would rather use the newest paranoid rom. I switched over about 1 month ago and its much smoother and has no fc spree random reboots or sth like that

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Moley13:
Hi guys, I'm new around here, and just installed this ROM. I've got a few questions.

The one I downloaded is from the OP in the development thread (called BETA3). This appears to be from 02/02/2014.

Is this the correct one I should be running (for maximum stability?).

Kernel is 3.4.0-ELiTE-v.01 according to "About phone".

If you have any recommendations on kernel etc that would be GREATLY appreciated!

ALSO:

I have a bug with Spotify - when I hit "log in" the phone crashes. I have a log cat, but can't post in the dev thread yet cause I have too few posts :(

Thanks!

Hey Guys! I dont know if this question has been asked before or not, I searched all the posts in this thread but haven't found the answer..

So, just to be sure....

Do the root and the recovery stay even after i install the rom?

Or do i have to root it again and then flash the recovery...

Any help would be welcome...

I'm on stock rom jb 4.1.2 rooted and unlocked bootloader

Thank you

Update: The TWRP recovery is installed by default.. but what if you wan't to restore the original stock rom that was backed up by CWM.. Just in case something goes wrong..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darknessmc:
Just flash boot.img with fastboot then inter twrp and flash the rom.

If you want to restore your original backup, flash doomkernel and restore your backup

who can make an video about this rom :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You asked about gaming in the development thread, I'll answer that here. I've been playing GTA San Andreas on CM11 tonight, Temple Run 2 works as well, and Badlands. I don't play any other games though. But for now it works just as well as CM10.1. Really surprised that GTA San Andreas works so well :).

And making a video, there's not much to show. It's just KitKat. I had issues restoring my old SMS'es, the Google Experience Launcher is less buggy than on CM10.1 and the memory management is fine for now, I don't notice having less available memory. YouTube HQ doesn't work at first, but after rebooting for the first time, it does work.

Battery backup :

I usually don't talk about battery backup of a rom and seriously even it quite irritates me when people talk about it... Reason being every person uses their phone in some or other way so you cannot usually tell...

Coming to the main point now..

Am I getting enough or less?

Screen time has always been around 3 hours for me, both with stock and AOSP. I don't know what you'd expected, but I've never heard of more than 5 hours screen time on this phone.

Google Search can be found in /system/priv-app and is called Velvet.apk. When you want to remove it, make sure that /system is mounted as R+W, because by default you can only read /system.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YYvo:
If the point is to reduce battery consumation from the backlight, turning them off is the best choise. For reducing light i suggest you use xposed with some module, like xblast or gravitybox. Not sure if they have that option but worth checking them out.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You can't use CWM, it's not there anymore, and CWM is inferior to TWRP anyway (aside from the huge backup size). But you can use TWRP to flash other ROMs as well, doesn't matter which recovery you use for that.

If you really want CWM, you can flash a kernel with CWM (a stockbased one, like Doomkernel), it'll overwrite TWRP and if you reboot you'll have CWM again. But every KitKat based ROM uses TWRP, so you should flash a stockbased ROM if you want to stick to CWM.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ski-lleR:
For me this problem is gone on beta 2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skyend:
You are correct. If the system finds some files which are inaccessible by any means or corrupt, then they are placed in lost+found folder. One can safely delete its content since the data is not usable anyways. Could this be the problem for first long boot? Maybe the system is busy scanning the disk and transfers files onto lost+found folder, which takes some time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
The question is...which files does it transfer into the lost+found since I did not detect any loss of data... Also why is this happening.. Earlier it did not happen...in alpha0 alpha1 and beta1
