Didn't want to mix myself in the main thread to avoid escalating the discussion, but I still feel like giving my opinion here :p. I don't think anyone has issues with having discussions taking place there that aren't purely developmental, it would be a pretty empty thread then. But this time the argument started when somebody asked whether the FM-radio is working, and I'm pretty sure it's lazy questions like that started the arguments in the past as well.

Some people feel taking up the defence of those non-development related questions, but it gets on my nerves when people that obviously never installed the ROM start asking questions. I expect at the very least that people experiment a little by themselves, and if someone wants every little feature working guaranteed, that person should stick with stock. I just ignore those questions now, but I fully understand why others try putting them in their places. It's just a shame that threads get locked because of the arguments after that, when other people somehow feel like arguing just for the sake of it.

I know I'm pretty much preaching to the choir here, only advice I'll be giving is that if someone gets on your nerves with a stupid question, just ignore it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
We should have a agreement that no one reply or scold those who post discussion related thing on the main thread, just ignore it like it wasnt there until they post here, that should cut off a lot of the clutter
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I believe that's something implicit within the xda code, but there are so many newcomers that it's hard to contain. Also, there should be a link to this thread on the development thread, for all those who can't use a search bar still.

By the way, thanks again dude. You saved my XSL, lol.

Does anybody else find double-tap to sleep kind of unreliable? I have to tap the statusbar at least three/four times and it's very hit or miss.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Welcome dude, glad that i helped :)

Well i dont have this problem, most of the time i can get it right but the stupid persistent search bar is just stupid when it accidentaly triggered when i try to tap the statusbar lol

Hopefully the next release have trebuchet built in so i can get rid of both the google now widget and persistant search bar.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NeoXP:
Try a different launcher, I'm verry happy with this one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Thanks but i would prefer using trebuchet, it has enough option that i need (including the option to remove the search bar, but not working for some reason now, maybe because i sideloaded it). I used to use nova and even bought the prime but after some while i realize the animation when launching app isn't as smooth as GEL or trebuchet, can anyone else confirm this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I remember Trebuchet was pretty smooth, but I now use Apex. Bought the Pro version and everything. It has the transparent notification bar and it's very customizable.

so how to change the lockscreen wallpaper...

n i use ondemand+deadline

n both cpus at 1.6 ghz

conservative is also good....but apps take more time to load...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
never had those problems with nova.

can't confirm with the newest release though. i've sold my sxs to a friend and bought a Z1. My hope was lost after Rayman closed his thread. Well he opened it again, but i highly doubt it will stay this...

i'm still following that thread but...

...yeah, most people here most probably know what's up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Good for you dude, the app opening animation is just a bit sluggish compared to Gel or trebuchet, but it makes the ux bad for me so i change to trebuchet, i thought it was the phone that the animation is sluggish, but after trying out GEL i know its a launcher problem. I love those animation so a bit of slugginess here and there just doesnt makes me feel good lol

Anyway this will be the last year i stick with my SL, going for the next Nexus, has official support for almost if not all rom in the world and a longer software update from Google :)

Dissapointed with Sony's updating routine, releasing too many phone and ignores them after just 1 or most 2 update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
yeah completely true. i also was shocked when the nxt series was released. close gap between flagship devices..

second thing what bugged me was sony dropping the aosp development for the sxs, but hey, seems to be the fault auf erricsson.

but other than that, i'm happy with my sony devices. i'm happy with sony in general. ive got a bravia tv, vaio laptop, playstation so the step of getting an xperia was somewhat natural.

what i'm longing for is an xperia nexus

well, enough OT for now, sometimes it gets me...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I don't know, might want to google it, "lockscreen wallpaper cm11". Something should pop up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
no it was there in an old release...

in Settings>lock screen>lockscreen background

thats y i asked in the development thread....

to know if i was missed it....or the feature was removed...

i wanted it to be added in next release...

Sorry about that btw...:)

PEACE...

MTP

Hey,

today I tried to use my Xperia S with this ROM for developing apps.

My problem: Eclipse doesn't detect it with USB-Debugging enabled (that's another problem btw).

So I tried to disable MTP. This was a big mistake because now I can't find the option to turn it on again.

In Settings -> Storage there is no option and additionally it doesn't show the real data how much storage is used for what. It just shows that it's calculating it all the time...

I hope you can help me.

To my Eclipse-problem:

I installed all the drivers necessary for my XS (several times), but it isn't detected though. Don't know what to do anymore...

That's it. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Darth Inferno:
Friends is true that Sony will support these developments for the XS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
No, sony dropped support for xs already
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chackel:
OK, problem is solved, I made an update to newest version of the ROM and now it works. It was a bug in the oder version I'd guess.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AlexBurnout77:
Yes, and not only in Facebook but also in browser/other non YouTube apps. I think it's a codec problem (?)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
I want to share this nifty little app for downloading the correct Gapps package for either 4.4 Dalvik or ART, any Android version even

[APP][2.3+]Gapps Manager - Easily Download Gapps

Also, for the ones just stepping into OpenSEMC 4.4 and want to try out ART, this is what I did:

Install the ROM you've already downloaded. Don't mind Gapps, you don't need them to boot just yet

On first boot, enable Developer Mode (Google it if you don't know), and switch the Runtime to ART

It will ask you to reboot

Install the apk attached to the post linked above (Gapps Manager), using a transferring method of choice

Connect to WiFi (if you haven't done so already)

Run the Gapps Manager, and tap 'For 4.4.x on ART (KitKat)', let it download

Reboot into recovery when done, and install the Gapps from /sdcard/download, and reboot afterwards

Connect to Google account in Settings (since you're not getting a warm welcome)

Note: please be aware that ART is functional, yet can be a bit buggy and it is not guaranteed that some system tools will work with ART yet. Installing apps will take longer and use more CPU and storage space, but you will have more free RAM (like the XS doesn't have enough RAM to begin with :p) and apps might start faster.

Been running over two weeks from fresh, and it works like a charm. With the obvious occasional hiccup, but it really feels more solid than ever. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vayavalla:
People ready don't read?

Moderators cancelling posts and two posts later people asking again things not related to development on the development thread.

It's easy to read. It's easy to search.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DeJe63:
Thanks for the app, really usefull. :good:

Anyway, I don't really see any big difference between ART and Dalvik after using it a few days. But most important, there are still some apps which are not compatible with ART. Unfortunately one of my favorite app (Keepass2Android) also.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkLark:
Let me clarify what ART does differently to Dalvik.

Dalvik: Uses JIT (Just In Time) compiler. This means that when you open an app (or a new activity, i.e. page) Dalvik has to compile the code to machine code

ART: Uses Ahead Of Time compilation. The reason why it takes longer to install is that when you install from Google Play, ART compiles the code to machine code then and there. So the activities are quicker on initial load

As for your comments on ART I am sorry but you are wrong. ART will use LESS CPU cycles than Dalvik, but will use MORE RAM. Please do your research before making such comments
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
Thanks for telling me, I did not know that. In fact, I didn't do research but spoke purely from my own experiences.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkLark:
You're welcome. I didn't mean to offend, I just want readers to get the correct information. But I do applaud your efforts in telling people your experiences.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
You should see that some apps opened faster eventhough you're sure that the apps are not running in memory (ram)

And i use art. The keepsass2android offline is working fine with me. So. Maybe. Try again?

I'm sorry, but can u point me out to the research bout ram usage in art runtime? Cause i havent found any concrete research. I took a look in my ram usage when using dalvik then compared it to using art. Sslauncher is the same. It's using 41 mB in both runtime. Same with whatsapp+ and enhanced email. They're using same amount of ram in both runtime. The different ofc, when the app get killed it'll open faster in art. And maybe when this app reopen it will need more ram killing other app in process. Again, i really dont know and if u found any research. Pls post here.

What i do know are: all my background apps seem to take same amount of ram in both runtime. Apps open faster in art. I moved lot of apps to external media when using art (it needs more storage) and thats all. Cant really say anything bout ram usage.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Hey guys,I noticed that after rebooting, widgets were gone. Initially, I thought it was a problem with Apex Launcher, but then realized it was also with the Google Now Launcher. What could it be? Is it a bug that has already been reported? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
I guess its not a known bug, previously i did use Google Now launcher and the widget seems to be there after reboot. Now i am using trebuchet (i dont like the google now page and persistant search bar) , and yeah widget is still there after reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DeJe63:
Well, I tried. But unfortunately, the statement

seems to be true. :crying: At least on my side it doesn't work correctly here with ART enabled.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Yeah. You're right. It always closes then re-open suddenly.

CM profiles...

Hi... couldn't find any posts related to this issue, so please forgive me if there is an ongoing discussion about it in this thread already... :)

Is someone using CM profiles with OpenSEMC Beta 3/3.1? :confused: I've been using this ROM for a while (since the 10.1 builds) and with the KitKat version, profiles don't work properly any more...

I used them do override general notifications settings for certain application groups, e.g. by disabling notification sounds and only getting vibration instead, while other more important ones still had notification sounds enabled (SMS/Hangouts). E.g. social media stuff did only vibrate, this was very useful to mute Facebook and other apps in work while still being notified of updates.

The current version of this ROM does have some issues here - regardless of what is actually configured, I'm always getting notification sounds plus vibration if enabled for the app. I'm not sure if it even regulates the notification sound levels.

My understanding was that either the general sound settings should be overridden or apps with vibration are not permitted to vibrate if disabled for the current profile...

Is there anything I could contribute to the DEV thread in order to make this work? I've already filed a bug on the official project page, but RaymanFX seems to be busy with studying at the moment... ;)

I've sold my Xperia to a friend of mine. I've reflaahed stock via flashtool and everything was fine.

Until yesterday..

He said that the notification led keeps glowing green after the device is fully charged.

Happened in cm11 to me, never cared about that though.

How can this happen after reflashing latest stock?

It happens on me too, on cm or pa its the same, a reboot fix that, but sometimes just swiping around the screen for awhile works too. Not sure about stock though, havent use stock for a very long time.

That was a stock bug as well, doesn't have anything to do with CM on your friend's phone. Did you flash .96 firmware?

OTG Problem

Can someone please confirm if OTG/ USB mass storage is working for them in Beta3?

I have it broken on mine.

Thanks in advance :o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Nope... its shown as 'Xperia S' device in the taskbar, but no drive access. I'm no Android expert, my Nexus 7 isn't even offering the Mass Storage option, but is working fine over MTP just as my phone is.

I googled a bit and it looks like mass storage was removed a while ago - could this be in Beta 3 "by accident" and was never supposed to work with Kitkat? :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
they're two different things. otg and mass storage.

otg works fine in beta 3 (and beta 3.1) just plug the ufd. you dont even need 3rd party app to mount ntfs formatted ufd. it can read just fine.

and for mass storage, use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1944133&highlight=sd+mounter . it works fine in opensemc (heck it works in most roms of xperia s)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kunal7484:
Sorry for not being clear in my question & thanks for the reply.

I am still unable to mount my usb pendrive via otg. I also formatted it with NTFS as you mentioned but no luck.

I also tried with third party apps like 'Stickmount'.....

I will try again with a clean install because its working for you already.

Thanks again for your response. :good:

i don't know if i'm right here but maybe you could help me:

recently i've moved from my s to z1. I've registred whisperpush on my s with my mobile number before reflashing stock and giving it away.

now with facebook buying whatsapp i'd like to move to text secure messenger. i need to register my phone number on their textsecure server though.

when i try to register my phone number, i get a reply back, that i've already have registered on cyanogenmod? textsecure server and that i should log out there.

well...

my s aswell my cm11 is gone and i can't logout from their server. i've googled it but all i get is news 'bout how textsecure now is integrated into cyanogenmod.

do you know a way to unregister from cyanogenmod text secure server without smartphone?

Quick question for 4.4.2 users: when one plays a video from (for example) Facebook, the screen turns black and the system seems to has crashed completely (only soft keys vibrate, nothing else happens). Anyone with a workaround / solution?

Also, plugging in my headphones doesn't actually activate them. Rebooting with having them plugged in makes the output set to the headphones, but it goes faulty for the entire session and will only output from the headset if it is plugged in...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I can't confirm either bug. Facebook really is slow on Beta 3.1, though.

On other news, I found and confirmed a bug by myself. While charging, if the Airplane Mode is activated, the charging led will not turn off after unplugging the phone. The only way to revert this is to plug it back in, turn off Airplane Mode, and unplug it again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DoNuT_1985:
Well, I think you don't necessarily have to be in airplane mode... Having the same behavior here sporadically.

Not really related to OpenSEMC, but since most who use TWRP also use an OpenSEMC based ROM I'm posting this here:

There's a big update for TWRP out, and there's a build for our Xperia S as well :). I don't know if goo.im already automatically updates TWRP to version 2.7, but you can find the FOTA version here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/144 and flash it yourself. I'd use terminal emulator and the following command (says the same on the TWRP page):

dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

(change fotakernel.img to the proper filename and put the downloaded .img file in your sdcard, not in any folder)

Hey guys, I just noticed that if I move apps to SD, they force close immediately. However, if I move them to SD using Titanium Backup, they don't. Can anyone confirm this? I'm running on a clean install, by the way. Also did this thread die? ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
I can't answer your main question, but as for this thread, it's mostly because of the development thread hasn't been updated, after Rayman finished his exam and update the stuff, everything will be back again, we might even get a CodefireX built at that time
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Yeah, I know, but people always have questions about bugs, lol.

My situation is: if I try moving my apps to the External Storage using Android's app manager, they force close until I move them back to the Internal Storage, but if I move them using TB, they work like a charm. I have no idea why this happens.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Perhaps because titanium has root access, this able to move more things /files?

Not sure if anyone can reproduce it, but I've had some random reboots once in a while... Not in Snapchat, which I'm not using, but nevertheless.

It needs some polish for sure, but beside that beta 3 or 3.1 does pretty well in daily use. Maybe RaymanFx can comment on his plans for a new release, but I'm pretty optimistic there's one in the pipe. And his earlier ports were stable as f**k. :)
