You mean restoring Gapps? Better flash it than restoring it. If you mean apps i am not sure but i dont think its a good idea as well
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scrabie:
Sorry not gapps. but apps :) I`ll flash gapps, but can i restore my aplications with TB?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Cant really answer your question bout this, since i never actually restore my apps. I prefer extracting their apk and manually installing them after every flash :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
It looks the same on my phone so I'd say it's supposed to be that way. I never mounted anything myself as well. Does it bother you?

Supposedly TB supports ART now, but I'd still advise to only restore app data for really big apps or apps that lose data (like savegames, or saved manga is a case I have).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scrabie:
I don`t want to restore data, only apps, i`m not a player so i don`t need that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linus207:
I have 4h screen on Time now, and I have had such a situation like "slowest XS on earth" It's all about clean installation. Art is great and I couldnt have greater phone because of it. Kitkat with art is a new life for 2012 and 2011 phones.

Now i know it, my mistake was that i did full wipe, install gaps and change dalvik to art. Now when i did in bamboohao way it`s really fast and smooth, i`m trying my aps now and everyone works fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] De@n:
It makes no diffrence in which order you enable ART :rolleyes:

It does, I am on ART as well but there's no way i can get 4 hour of SOT, the most I can get is 2 hour

Hey guys..I am having some problems with CPU frequency in 755 kernel..so I want to flash the opensemc beta 3 kernel..if I dirty flash the ROM can anyone tell me what will ne wiped? Like any system data or something??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
Just to be sure :

Flash gapps while rebooting from switching on art or do I need to let it boot and then reboot again?

Second SD card problem:

No I don't have any problems. I was just wondering where it came from.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
There is no difference, you can flash it on the first reboot or flash it after a boot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Nothing will be wiped, you don't even have to flash gapps again.

Well Android is just weird in mounting storage, my Nexus 7 also has 2 paths to storage for some reason. Maybe sdcard is mounted twice because Acro S has two mount points and they share the Fuji board. Just guessing here. That doesn't explain why we didn't have this earlier though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
But i think you can flash just the kernel right? That way you dont have to reflash the whole ROM
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
At the moment I cannot because I don't have access to my computer so no fast boot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Try using flashify instead? I always use it since i have problem with my fastboot driver
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Ah I didn't know you could fastboot with an app. Very handy, I regularly format my PC and drivers are indeed a nightmare on Windows 8 64 bit. I get it working eventially but every time I forget how I did it :D. And I have another PC running Ubuntu but I never used that to fastboot, it's just lying there in case I ever want to build something.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Yup, its a very handy app, especially when you cant use fastboot for some reason :)

I once got mine to work, but after switching to windows 8.1 i never got it to work, no matter what i tried lol

It did fix all the 3party apps i tried but,by doing that my phone gotten bot laggy now how tofix that lagging problem
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
As i say in the faq, it makes your phone lag, if those 3rd party apps are so important for you then use it, if its not then just wait until Rayman fix it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
The point of this thread is to talk about questions like yours, but there's no use if you go posting everything here AND in the development thread.

About that fix, yeah it makes things a bit more laggy, I never noticed myself though (I'm getting used to a new Nexus 7 now and honestly the Xperia S feels laggy to me even without that tweak). As bamboohao says, you've got a choice to use it or not. Or use AOSP, that uses Mako drivers, has less issues, but also less customizing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
Where is the difference between mako our drivers? I'm curious but never dared to ask in the development thread. :)

Next question : what does bamboohaos fix actually do?

Gesendet von meinem Xperia S mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
OpenSEMC uses CAF which isn't as stable but more future proof. That's what I understand of it anyway. Rayman used to use Mako as well in CM10.1, but focuses on CAF now.

It's Draconius007's fix by the way, he posted this the first time. Changing debug.mdplayer.maxlayer disables hardware compositing as far as I know. Thus the performance reduction.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Ya, CAF is updated more frequently and is better in long run.

This does bring up another question though, should i be giving credit on the FAQ? I thought about it earlier but i though there is no need since its just a FAQ, but now, should i?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Draconius007:
Possible fix !

Well i personally never had any lag after i did this fix but my friend had it ... we tinkered around and found a possible fix. See if it helps you !

go to developer options and set all the animations from 1x to 0.5x which hardly degrades the quality of your animations .... and well it makes them smoother ... and if even that doesn't fix it ... Go to the performance tab and go to processor and change the CPU governor to PERFORMANCE, which contrary to popular belief doesn't affect battery usage that much ... also make sure the I/O scheduler in the performance tab is set to DEADLINE.

Cheers !!:good::D

Dropbox Photo upload

Hi all,

since I have flashed CM11 (clean install) the automatic photo upload to dropbox stops after sometime: when I go to dropbox's settings, disable/enable the upload, all 'new' pictures get uploaded and for some time, subsequent pictures get uploaded automatically. Then automatic upload stops and I have to disable/enable again.

Has ne1 else noticed this?

TIA

Frank
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I changed debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer back to 3 today to see if I'd just gotten used to it and wasn't seeing the lag. And I have to admit, the experience is smoother. It's not really lag, but a chopping experience. Your tips for making a smoother experience are good, I used them myself before this, but even with those animation scales and governor, there is a noticeable difference. I think everyone needs to determine for themselves how often those apps are used. I'll just keep it on 3 and change it if I ever need a barcode scanner (very rarely). I don't think you even need to reboot to make the changes take effect.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Credit to whom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Draconius007:
Well i m pretty sure you need to restart in order for it to take effect... because essentially it a system file that you are modifying ! :D

Extended Standby Mode

Hey Guys! Do you know if there is any app like Sony's Extended Standby Mode out there?Maybe a Xposed Module? Because this feature of Sony's stock firmware, really improved my battery life, and well I kinda miss it, buuut obviously I dont want to do without raymanfx's awesome kitkat...:);)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You need something to turn WiFi and mobile data off when the phone goes to standby right? Should be possible with Tasker. This isn't really what Xposed is for, you don't have to mess with apps (what I mean is, Xposed modules change code in other apps and that doesn't help in your case.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrmigg:
That's exactly what I mean!Thanks for your reply, I'll try Tasker..;)

Edit:

Yeay. I just realized Tasker is far more complicated then Sony's one-klick solution..haha :D

It's not just you, there is a fix but it makes the phone a bit stuttering. You could have checked the FAQ: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49264199, it's mentioned in there.

Supposedly you can fix it for some apps by turning off something "advanced layer processing"ish (just making that name up, but it sounded like that).

I know but the OP linked to it in the third post on the first page. I don't really get why the OP couldn't be edited either but it's not that you need to read 21 pages to get to the FAQ.

Anyway I enabled HW Overlay again after a few weeks, hadn't used the barcode scanner in that time so it was kind of pointless.

And there is also many that dont have random reboot, are you really sure that nothing at your side is causing it? Xposed, underclock, apps, modified something etc? I only experience condition when i use barcode scanner the screen becomes green and i had to force restart, but no random reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NeoXP:
Random reboots...

I'm just curious about these random reboots people are experiencing. Since myself, amongst others, don't experience this.

Therefor a question to the people facing these reboots, please inform us about apps installed, if you have Xposed framework installed and if you are on Art or Dalvik.

Maybe we can find the solution with this information.

I'm on Art without Xposed framework, installed apps are Adblock Plus, Google Authenticator, Dashclock, Dolpin, Dropbox, Facebook, Flitsmeister, Focal, GalleryNext, KK Launcher, My T-mobile, Tinder and Whatsapp.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
as far as i know no strange apps/settings, but... xposed and some modules are running.

could that be the problem?

i removed xposed from a semc beta 3 rom once, but didn't solve the problem.

i could try a clean install, without xposed, but would like to know first if xposed could be the cause of the reboots.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Wait, are you doing a clean flash from the beginning or is it a dirty one lol

last times i tried was total wipe, install rom+gapps+xposed+apps
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
I had two reboots when using Chrome. I think it's a problem when there is high ram usage. Then there was another random reboot while browsing through the gallery. In chrome, first there was no network connection over wifi and after reloading the page twice it rebooted. Gallery stopped to show thumbnails an then a reboot occurred.

However those were the only three I encountered and I can't reproduce them.

My cam apps are working and i also don't have problems with incoming calls. Im using the maxlayer tweak and clean flashed every time.

The only minor problem I'm discovering is that pictures taken with the cam aren't as sharp as with stock rom. Moving objects are blurring.

With stock cam on stock rom picture quality is way better. But Im no photographer so I can live with that

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xXFlippyXx:
Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to share my experiences with this rom for dreezz.

Random reboots aren't much of a problem for me. I fact I only had 3 since alpha 0 wich really isn't much. I'd even say this rom is nearly stable.

Ive just used chrome as explanation because I know that chrome is a bit heavy for our hardware and it's kinda "big"

Its true though, i once thought its chrome being too heavy and rough itself on the software side, until i try launching it on a xperia z ultra, i was so surprise that i clear it from cache and try launching it again and boom, same result. That makes me never feel like using chrome on my phone except to dig throughh my bookmark lol

Great Geek has made an unofficial CM11 "beta 4" a few days ago: http://d-h.st/YkA. I have no idea what's been updated there since I'm using PA now. It probably has the same fixes but it's all very much under the hood. Nothing you'll immediately notice.
