Renamed it to Beta3+ , brings a small fix for compass orientation being borked on some devices.

Also, added in all the new cm stuff.

I'll keep adding stability in small increments whenever possible.

There is hardly anything to fix anyway, just a bit of polishing up to do.

[MENTION=253171]great[/MENTION]_Greek: Since you built that beta3+ from Raynman's sources, what exactly changed?

I mean, what does the beta 3 changelog translate to?

(

12/30/2013

Common: Upstream code merges (CM, CAF, Google)

Fuji: Permissions cleanup, ramdisk cleanup - c6b090b873

Fuji: Include board specific headers - 4b1b3fa4c5

Fuji: Remove deprecated LEGACY_EGL usage - 9a6805993e

Fuji: Vendor blobs cleanup - bd8303d64d, 6abe8571a7​

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
More upstream code merges (CM)

Adjusted various bits of the frameworks to match up with our nozomi's hardware

I'm taking a shot at porting in BFS (Brain **** Scheduler), which should give us a performance & efficiency boost.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Good to see you back in the game :)

Noticed that your profile pic has changed, its the same kind of Rayman and some others, does the pic has some meaning? Has wondered about it for a long time :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Alright, thanks for the explanation. And sorry about the mistaken mention, [MENTION=5022578]Great_Geek[/MENTION] (:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Lol at the mistaken name, been there before XD

When i first saw the great and the next word look so much like greek, my mind automaticly think its greek lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Quick status update:

Subway Surfers is working again (fix is on OpenSEMC github)

Our kernel is being optimized as well. Already improved handling of processes, I'll push that code soon.

New build should be out soon. Latest public build can be found in my signature :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Nice progress.. Seems to be there is a semi-stable gpu drivers right now.. Or may stable.. Btw i got a question off topic, your signature also says "Running CodefireX".. Is there a build already that u r about to release? :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
Just flashed Beta 3+ :)

Here's the list of changes I noticed so far:

1) Electron beam effect when turning screen off works now.

2) Incognito mode is now available in stock browser :p

3) More customization options...

Thanks great_geek
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Mind giving more details on which customization option was added? Lack of customization is one thing that keeps me away from cm...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
I do not add any customisation options to cm. I just enabled the cm features for nozomi.

CodefireX on nozomi is unusable at best.(And it's almost like you're asking for an ETA, those are treacherous waters)

Work is needed, and RaymanFX is busy getting codefireX to the oppo N1 that was given to him for that purpose.

Currently, WiFi doesn't work at all on codefirex nozomi builds. Even our boot.img s weren't forming properly.

CodefireX builds will be released by RaymanFX. I do not want to take credit for his work by releasing it.

Speaking of releases:

More stable cm build is out, with slightly better graphics performance (EGL tweaked). Subway Surfers works now :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
OpenSEMC CM 11 Beta 3.1 is out!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Flash the boot img via fastboot

Reboot. Ignore the install Superuser thing if it appears.

Boot into recovery again.

Flash the zip.

Please verify the MD5 of the zip, as noone else has complained about this yet

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DeJe63:
Sorry for dump question...but I am still wondering whats the best gapps which are also ART compatible?

QA suggest it's PA gapps. But is CM11-gapps also ART compatible? I would prefer this.

Next, what happen if I restore my apps with TB? Will they automatically "converted" to ART? Or is it recommended to reinstall all of them from Playstore and just restore data via TB?

btw. had Beta 3.0+ running and its working like charm. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Afaik cm11 gapps is not art compatible yet. Just use the PA gapps

They automatically converted to art. Use the latest titanium backup and the app is art compatible (if it's not, tibu will freeze when restoring such app, just force close tibu and then find the alternative of the app)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alebol0:
Does the 3.1 build suffer from the camera bug? (Crash after opening any camera app but Focal). Honestly this is the only annoying bug of the beta 3 release. I know disabling HW Overlay is a workaround but makes the ROM laggy.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Do those steps apply to me if I'm on stock and never flashed anything on this XSL?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You need to unlock the bootloader first, then you can flash the boot.img with fastboot and the rest of the instructions are the same (boot to recovery, factory reset, flash the zip, flash gapps). For a more general overview, see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526866

Don't forget to put the zip files on your phone before flashing the kernel (=boot.img). And take a good look how to work with Flashtool so you know how to go back to stock in case you do something wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rampage2020:

One notable improvement is that scrolling through Cal is smoother than before, only a few lag :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Thanks, my bootloader is already unlocked, though. Yeah, I learned how to use Flashtool in order to extract the .ftf from the .96 update.

Do I need to wipe everything for every update? Or just the usual Dalvik wipe? Thank you again for your helpfulness.:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NeoXP:
I did a complete wipe when installing alpha0, when installing the newer versions I only wiped cache and dalvik. Never experienced any problems. For me the rom is rock-stable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Factory reset means wipe everything, so data, cache and Dalvik cache. Wiping system isn't necessary, that's taken care of in the update script. You can restore your apps and data later with a backup tool like Titanium Backup or Helium, but I'd advise to manually reinstall your apps. Factory reset is only necessary when you come from a different Android version (Android 4.1 tot 4.4 for example). But when you're having issues with apps closing and system rebooting, always try a clean install before blaming it on the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
I've used TB for as long as I remember (:

I know most of this, but Thank you for your patience. The Galaxy Ace discussion thread lacked this hospitality. Thank you for explaining with this much detail

Update:

The 3.1 beta is really great, very fast. One tip: do NOT greenify apps unless you REALLY need to; once I stopped greenifying I've seen a performance boost.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
And before you stop what app are you greenifying?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alebol0:
Facebook Messenger, Facebook, Whatsapp, Bacon Reader, XDA, at one point even Swype.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Hmm, guess i will try uninstalling greenify to test out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alebol0:
I realize devs are annoyed by useless posts in the development thread, but for a novice of XDA is not really obvious the distinction between a discussion thread a development thread; I for one didn't even know there were two different sections at and. I've been in the OSS/Development world for a while and forums are not really a great way to collect bug reports. I don't think most of the users posts in the development section because are selfish or stupid: the distinction is just not really that clear in XDA. I guess a link to the discussion thread in the first post of the development one could help a bit.

Hey Guys

I have already got 2 installations (2 different phones) of this rom and this media server thing is really weird. On my first XS phone this problem is not present at all. On my second Xperia this is really bad, and it's draining +/- 40% battery. What i've noticed is - media server went buggy when I started to use DSP manager. When I force removed it whole bug thing disappeard. Afrer this i've installed viper4android (my personal favourite) on both phones and again bug appeard on both of them. I really like viper and i would like to use it. I really don't know that it's possible whithout keeping my phones hang on min. freq. while the is screen off.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YYvo:
Ran into the same issue. Found that \data in system was taking up all this space after first reboot. Only temporary solution i found that worked for me was to delete data in twrp and restore backed up data either from twrp or titanium backup. As far as i can tell in the thread nobody else came into this problem. There was one case where the sdcard was full but that was because of the LOST.DIR. Deleting it resolved it. But this is in \data, so...

Hope it helps!

Edit: According to [MENTION=705715]phry[/MENTION] also, it seems that the lost+found folder in data that is harboring all these files after reboot. This should be a concern, as this is where the files it cannot read properly ie corrupt files are put. Deleting these solves the problem but they start appearing as soon as the device reboots. It fails to write the files properly. Any opinion on this matter is welcomed.

Cheers!

Do you know if it works on Stock 6.2.b.96 too? I'm not using CM right now because i need stable video playback, but my stock rom seems to have this media server issue.

Guys, I soft-bricked my Xperia SL. The LED still works (when I hold the VolumeUp button while connecting it to my computer, the blue LED will turn on) and when I plug it in via USB it's recognized as SEMC Flash Device. I was on rooted stock, trying to flash Beta 3.1, but when I finished flashing it with CWM, it said "script-succeded: [mount/system]". I didn't think any of it, but when I rebooted to system with CWM, it got stuck on this image:

​

(I know that's not an XSL, just illustrating what happened).

It took forever there, so I decided to hold down the power button. And now I'm stuck with this soft-bricked phone.

I don't have the screwdrivers to physically remove the battery, so until I get it, is there anything I can do? Any tips, perhaps? :(

Thank you all
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
You should've listen to my advise and flash the boot.img...

Anyway, heres a few i can think of now

1. If adb still works, use flashtool to flash the boot.img, maybe it would work

2. Recover it using official sony tool to the stock firmware, then root it and start all over again

Holding power+volume up will force it to reboot if power button alone refuse to work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmzuleta:
Sorry, got all excited by having KK on my XSL, lol. Thanks, will try this.

UPDATE: SUS appears to be working, it's downloading the stock ROM.

UPDATE 2: I'm back on stock .96. So what you're saying is root and then, before flashing the CM11 zip, flash the boot.img from that zip? This will give me TWRP, right?

UPDATE 3: Done it, now on CM11. Thanks everyone, you're so damn patient.
