Please help me. I've flashed billchen's ROM and lose the recovery. I've tried install it using adb,

su

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

Output showed transfer speed, and I rebooted but nothing happened. The phone didn't boot into recovery, no blue LED...

I have no root, no recovery, no Gapps... My phone is totally useless.

Please help me :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Well, if you hadn't rooted the phone, no way that su command is going to work

Anyway, fastboot is still an option

Flash kernel of another rom (which should probably have byult-in recovery) and you'll be done
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] logicaldeveloper@live.com:
As mirhl said, once if you got fastboot just get DoomKernel as img file and flash it You will get some recovery. If you've any ROM in your sdcard you can install that ROM

or there is one ".img" version of JB AOKP rom available, you can directly install that from fastboot.

Great to see stable KK ROM with OpenSEMC features. Read all the comments. Gonna give it a try now :

Social network apps not working

I have found bug in this rom is that facebook and messenger not working and on ART runtime viber aslo not works.Viber only working on dalvik.This dual recovery is deleted once i rooted this rom with kingoroot and used method to replace kinguser with supersu so when i root rom i fastboot doomkernel v6 first and then flash gapps and supersu after that i fastboot this rom's kernel and use root without recovery.I use system cleaner from flaki to clean dalvik cache but it's not recommened to use on ART (on ART use only system cleaner not system cleaner 2) because waiting on bootscreen and "android is upgrading" screen is too long then.Its too fast rom and i love it camera is very best but it will be nicer if you fix that bug that makes facebook,messenger and viber not responding.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
This ROM is old and no longer supported by dev

Look for lollipop based ROM they are pretty stable and fast
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] micko9854:
I wanna ask you can i check by imei is bootloader unlockable when i want to buy used phone?I had luck to buy this phone which have unlockable bootloader and plan to buy xperia z1 and i dont wanna buy phone with not unlockable bootloader because i cant use custom kernels to underclock CPU which have 2,2 ghz and for facebook,messenger,viber whatsapp,instagram,badoo,skype i dont need more than 1,2ghz on quad core with 2GB ram to run smoothly and with removed most of gapps with root..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] patrol-cz:
I don't know, how to use IMEI for checking this, but I know another method (if you have the phone in your hands):

- Open the dialer

- Enter the following code: *#*#7378423#*#*

- A special menu will appear. Please select "Service info".

- A special submenu will appear. Please select "Configuration".

Now, you can see information "Rooting status:" (strange, how they call it :) ) - but if you can see "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", you can unlock your BL.

Is the notification drawer handling smooth?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
this is would be perfect if it's include the EAP-SIM too like letama's Aosp :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
woow. it's moved. thanks

you need to flash supersu in recovery. if u use normal one, flash rom+gapps+supersu, you can flash cwm zip (recovery for locked bootloader) but it cant mount system. bit tricky, but do-able :)

tell me how one test this? :D i googled that it needed to connect to wifi from your sim provider? am i wrong? or are there any other ways to test it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Any idea.get sucked at boot logo.

Using loopback version
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
It's AOSP, that's never rooted, but fortunately pretty easy to root. And a lot of the modifications that we're used to from CM and other AOSP-based ROMs (like modifying the notification toggles) aren't actually part of AOSP. If this ROM stays AOSP, the looks will probably remain like this.

About testing EAP-SIM: connect to/create a new WiFi network, set security to "802.1x EAP" and next see under "EAP-method" if one of the options is EAP-SIM. Correct me if I'm wrong someone, I'm on OpenSEMC which doesn't support EAP-SIM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
yes, there isn't eap-sim under eap-method.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] billchen1977:
Make sure you flash both kernel and system, then do factory reset.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
You Sir disappointed me! I expect to see many bugs. But the ROM is just perfect (apart from the screen being flickered during video recording) and make me keep using it. This sure is gonna be my daily driver. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Not tried factory reset.....trying right now
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
It worked...

R u working on another update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] billchen1977:
Try to make HDMI working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S-AJAD:
tnx for your awsome work

is that stable ?

i don't need hdmi and fm

any other bug for daily use ?

sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
For me it's the most stable 4.4 at the moment. Very few bugs such as screen flickering during video recording, but playback is fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] prohibeat:
Yeah, right now it's fastest and most stable 4.4 out there and it's AOSP, not some tweaked and themed nonsense. Battery drop during night (charged 100% and left with wifi on for 8 hours) was 3%. Will see how it's the normal daily usage after the rom settles.

Guys, can you post your Antutu 4 results? I get about 120000 and it's surprisingly high.

I found one bug (or am I mistaken?). In camera, when changing scene it's icons and functions are misplaced or very buggy. For example 'night' icon corresponds to 'action' and 'none' corresponds to 'night' and 'action' corresponds to 'none'. After setting anything other than 'none' icon, which tells you it's 'night' the camera starts lagging. This function needs a bugsweep. Also panorama capture is lagging and bugged. I can't capture any panorama because it ends with an error or the result is glitched/messed.

Can I help with changelogs? Just tell me what/when you need.

Good luck with further development :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Piyush Rawal:
I am having this weird bug with all 4.4 roms where your phone doesn't show up in any media player software on your PC thus renders you unable to sync. It doesn't show up in MediaMonkey as well as Windows Media Player. it does show up in My Computer though as a portable device, but doesn't show up in any media player software.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nono.zz:
Totally agree, feels as faster and stable as Letama's builds always did. Not all games work, there's no FM radio and HDMI gives just a blue screen to my TV, but has no lag, no freezes and no random reboots as far as I've seen.

My only real problem with this rom is that auto brightness is disabled, as it was in last Letama's build I believe. Sensors do work now and I can get Lux to auto adjust the screen brightness, but it's an ugly solution. Is auto brightness working for you guys?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
Well to be honest, I'm experiencing lag on everything, so tomorrow I'll flash the ROM again and also wipe all I can xD.

Is good to have an another kk ROM.

Congrats for ur work:):):thumbup:

About the auto brigthness, it is working, but the icon just don't show, but its enabled.

EDIT: I let the phone charging through the night and when I woke up in the morning, suddenly all lag is gone xD:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nono.zz:
You're right, but needed to light up a flame really close to notice it.. but it does work, so thanks, I'd never noticed it myself :silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stibuz95:
If i chose art runtime, after the reboot dalvik is anyway the runtime? How can i activate ART?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
It works but now it's like the brightness is based on 2 variations. The light sensor and ur setting. To full brightness u must put it in day light and maxium setting. To the lowest possible brightness, u must put it in the dark room with the lowest setting. It's weird but it's a not a bad thing though. It can go alot dimmer at night than stock rom.

Anw, i have another weird bug. I switch to ART once. And after a few reboot, the phone switch to Dalvik itself. Now i'm stuck with Dalvik, switch to Art again doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stibuz95:
The same about runtime
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YYvo:
Abour ART, make sure you have art compatible gapps such as PA gapps, and if xposed is used, there are cases when it reverts back to dalvik but i havent had that issue so far.

Hit thanks if helped

Sent from RaymanFX's OpenSEMC 4.4
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
Thanks, i uninstalled xposed framework and art is working again!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stibuz95:
Thanks. Xposed is the problem.. I'll continue To use dalvik. When Xposed Will be compatible i Will use art

Recovery

Can i install TWRP through goo manager app ??? my back up is a TWRP so I need it working to restore my apps
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
no. this rom doesnt support recovery in fota partition (which twrp for xperia s does).

flash any kernel (just the kernel) which has twrp recovery, then flash anything you want, after you flash that, flash the kernel.elf again from this rom. u can use kernel that can be flashed through recovery (eg: doomkernel) than change the .elf to any kernel you want.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stibuz95:
A simpler way to install only cwm? Is there?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] knightxs:
Okzzzz got it :) Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepanshunamdeo:
Is there any bugs or any problems in this rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mpiwosal:
Is there lockscreen with 5 shortcuts? And how is it compared to opensemc 4.4? I mean how fast

this is a aosp rom no such features r present here but u can use xposed framework and gravity module google it...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mpiwosal:
Really? i didn't know that i can achive this with Gravity Box. Thanks anyway :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
can someone tell me how i can install CWM/TWRP without flashing another kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mpiwosal:
i have a problem. installed normal version and when i try to install recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it responses me with FAILED (partition not found). Could anybody help me? i don't have gapps installed yet :C
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YoungFiire:
Love this ROM ! :) But I got a little question , is this Rom rooted ? Root Checker app is showing that it is not. How can I root my device running KitKat 4.4.2 ??? Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heavens dragon:
fastboot any non-stock kernel with recovery

install rom

install Gapps

flash this root zip

fastboot this rom's kernel

done

I'm missing something, is this rom posible to flash in a phone with locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
no,u need unlocked bbotloader

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------

i tried this rom,its very fluid and better than other kitkat roms.but still games stutter sometimes even subway surfers.thats not a big deal.can u add options to change the quick toggles ? and single tap should toggle on or off them,holding them should take to the respective setting,but it just the opposite.not a big deal but it would be better the normal way.i want to try this rom in its beta stage coz even in its alpha,its more than enough.but if some few polishes are done,this will be a awesome rom.

in short:

everything woks better than expected

video recording has a small flicker visual glitch but video comes out good and rom records & plays upto full hd

camera is 12 mp

performance near as stock

no ui lags,ultra smooth and for me always GOOGLE NOW worked(i mean on launcher)

pretty stable

problem imo:

no root(not a problem,just flash the supersu.zip)

no recovery(this is a small concern :p)

no customization at all(i guess u will add in future releases)

nice work dude,keep rocking and hope to see more roms soon :) ;)

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

u mean full hd recording or playback ? both work great ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
The only annoying bug is that the notifications bar lags

I really wish that you can fix this in future releases

Ps: for people who ask for costimizations just install gravity box

It contains everything lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
[MENTION=5099666]franklin93[/MENTION]

i dont think he'll not add customizations coz this is pure AOSP....

n i'm too having shutters in games....wish there was a fix for this...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] billchen1977:
It is pure AOSP, so sorry no customizations.

Performance issue will be considered after Beta stage (make HDMI and maybe FM working, currently working on HDMI).

And if someone can confirm Bluetooth(mainly A2DP), NFC, Wifi direct and soft AP, USB mass storage working? So that I can move them to working list.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ^Reloaded^:
USB STORAGE IS WORKING :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
I hope new version will include a working recovery (TWRP)

Just stay as pure and clean AOSP mate, so this is will be your greatest feature in your rom :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Bluetooth(a2dp) not working... transfering files to other devices working...

usb mass storage working (using sd mounter app )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mzr7:
Um does the mic work on Skype, hangouts, viber, WhatsApp etc?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Piyush Rawal:
Phone doesn't show up in any media player when syncing music. If you can take a look at this as well.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] prohibeat:
Yes, please keep it pure AOSP.

Wifi AP doesn't work on mine. Phone starts the AP but can't find it on another device. USB storage works.

I think that Wifi AP should have priority over HDMI because some people use iPads/laptops on the go and need wireless router in their phones.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] billchen1977:
Thank all that have give test report!!!

For A2DP, would you please kinkly prodive logcat?

For media player, I've tested on Win7&8, all shown on WMP.

For Wifi AP, I will test it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tgg2k:
I don't know about you guys but this build is Pure problems, it is a pretty early Alpha so I hope everything will improve in time. For now I have some big problems using it:

- using the browser, the keyboard does not pop up when clicking in the search box or in the address bar (only copy&paste worked fine)

- the Back button does not work (tried reflashing and still no go for me)

- games lag. beach buggy loads and then crashes directly to the screen. subway surfers loads fine but lags pretty badly.

- pressing vol up/down while in the menu didn't do anything. I had to manually set the phone to silent mode.

couldn't test more as I got really pissed off for that Back button not working. All in all, the speed is

really impressive

, I can almost say that is twice faster than the latest official build from sony. Camera works great, video full HD recording and playback were fine. Keep up the good work guys, this is going in the right direction
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
Back button does work..ive been using this since yesterday...

Greetings from Germany
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DrDeeXS:
Guys, I know that the customizations aren't there on this as much as CM but what about the speed? How fast is it when compared to Rayman's Beta 3 version of Cyanogenmod? Are all pure AOSP ROM's usually faster than their Cyanogenmod counterparts? I ask this because Beta 3 has started lagging for me after a couple of weeks of use. Does this ROM have that problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NeoXP:
Install it, try it for a couple of weeks and report back...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tgg2k:
It seems theres something wrong with my phone. It's not the rom, it's me. Reinstalled 3 times (clean installs). I've tried other custom roms and now the phone works (back button, volume up/down work, browsers work).

Will test some more to be 100% sure. Reporting back in a few days of use.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Yes. The rom is working well. Ive never experienced any lag like you've posted earlier.

Now for what's working in op:

Usb otg works fine. Use paragon ntfs to mount a ntfs formatted ufd.

Nfc is working fine. Tested with my tag.

And for the issue: i think you should prioritize the wifi ap and screen flickering. It happens in some games too (like trial xtreme 3)

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Yes usb through otg is working fine
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YoungFiire:

One more problem. I factory reset my phone and SD from TWRP. And the ROM and Gapps got deleted. Now my phone won't boot until I flash them again. What should I do now as my PC won't detect my phone :\
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
o.O why do u format your sd? it's where u store the rom!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Don't know much about it... Are you able to enter into recovery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
I had also done something similar :p

You will need to use the adb push command to push the ROM to your device (search it on YouTube if you're not sure how its done)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:

You can use flashify app
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] billchen1977:
Just fix wifi ap. Screen flickering has been there for a long time, I ever think it is fixed, it is some hard to fix. So I will pickup half done HDMI, then add recovery, then will be Alpha2 release.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
Ok so I am having the following problems... (But before reporting them I should make it clear that I am just sharing/reporting those problems not complaining about them)

1: screen flickering a lot here and there

2: screen flickering during video playback (mainly mx player)

3: sometimes (only 1 or two times a day) phone gets stuck and stops responding.. Have to reboot to get it back..

4 : while scrolling on a page it gets automatically zoom (this is really annoying for me coz i do a lot of reading)

5. A lot of screen flickering in Google plus app

6. Phone gets random reboot while watching a video (mainly mx player)

P.S : i know all these reporting is useless without a logcat (i haven't yet learnt taking logcat as of yet)

So sorry about that...

Will add more when remember

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Now the plus points :

1. Good battery backup (getting same 2 hours on screen time as on CM but easily passes a day on a single charge)

2. Most of the games working fine (haven't played any heavy game as yet)

3. Using xposed I have got mostly what I need except for theme

4. Everything works so smooth

5. Camera works very nicely

And as far as I know these problems do exist in this rom..

I am not complaining moreover..

I am ok with it :cool:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
I think I fixed the zooming problem! go to /system/usr/idc/clearpad.idc

and edit it and replace it this value:

# Device Type

touch.deviceType = touchScreen

# Pressure

touch.pressure.scale = 0.0054

# Size

touch.size.scale = 5.91

touch.size.bias = 57.65

And Reboot!

in my experiment this value works best in this rom! No more zooming for big thumbs.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leemo92:
I tried it earlier I just got a blank screen after the opensemc splash

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Just wanna say that this is in my opinion the best rom for xperia s can't wait for recovery and pre installed root. One question when you say hdmi is halfway done do you mean no sound because on cm10 this can be over come with an app called sound about, is there any chance of adding Google dialer into alpha 2?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
&

The KerKat OP is a bit doge, but I will refer you to the FAQ:

" 7. I'm on stock/CM10/CM9/GB and this kernel doesn't work.

A: This kernel is ONLY for CyanogenMod 11 and any ROMs that came of it (like AOKP, for example). Don't flash on anything else unless you are SURE the ROM is based off of OpenSEMC's CM11."

And so no this isn't based on CM11, different resources, completely different kernel. There's no other kernel to flash.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Will we get Alpha 2 OTA because this ROM has option of System Updates.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elia222:
I guess not because that might be the ota for aosp updates of nexus devices (correct me if I'm wrong).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leemo92:
From my limited understanding of android the dev would have to have a server to host the updates on and redirect the aosp system updater, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
True, one dev doesn't have the infrastructure to host OTA updates.
