I think we should move this talking here xD

Off-topic and non related development posts.

Well, I'm very happy with dual sims function in cm11, better than sony stock firmware.

As a small example in stock firmware if I set first sim for data traffic and sim-1 lost signal, data traffic turns itself on without my permission on sim-2 resulting on consuming my credit -_- and that was pretty annoying... But here on cm11 I think dual sim are more stable and working very good.

Of course I'm happy with it, but I'm not the only one :P
[Sony Xperia M] inunxelex:
because your enable auto internet throw (wifi <-> mobile data), check your connectivity settings on stock fw
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Hmm... Maybe it was set like that by default because I didn't enable anything like that.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Curious question, but anyway :D

After flashing 29-Aug nightly I find out there is an app missing from the app drawer.

I was investigating and it appears to be a "sound recorder" a system application? Am I right?

Or maybe something else?

Could someone explain what happened? :D
[Sony Xperia M] trocLas:
Hello guys!

From time to time (usually 1 timer per day), the touchscreen just stops working (something that never had happened in the official Sony ROM). The phone awakes and goes to sleep, but I cannot do anything to it until I remove the battery and reboot the phone.. Does that happen to anybody else?
[Sony Xperia M] SK:):
Hi, I'm using Viper4Android Audio engine on CM11. But whenever i update using Cyandelta updater, DSP manager got installed and conflicts with v4a. I need to delete DSP manager, uninstall v4a drivers and app and then reinstall it to work properly. Any way to prevent the installation of DSP manager while updating?
[Sony Xperia M] prince10t:
I was using the swap zip file that was previously mentioned, work fine. but later then tried Link2SD again, recreated partition, fat32 and ext4, and work flawlessly in conjunction to foldermount as well. no issues so far. you can opt to use gl to sd for free instead of foldermount.

** I was using fat32 for the 2nd partition when I was still using sony stock rom. but its CM11, so im using ext4 now.
[Sony Xperia M] haresh311999:
How u did it can u explain in more details
[Sony Xperia M] prince10t:
Hmm, I started with a fully rooted android 4.3 (towelroot + superSU + busybox + newrebootmountfix). I was already using Link2SD + Foldermount at this point, worked flawlessly.

unlocked bootloader; formatted my SD card in just a single partition (fat32), downloaded and put the CM11 files, gapps and the swap internal to external zip file, followed the instructions in installing CM11 on the original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2584956 ; once I got CM11 installed and running, I followed the instruction of swaping the internal to external in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711280. - worked ok. But I still like using link2sd + foldermount. so...

reformatted my sdcard again using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. repartition 1st part as primary fat32, and the 2nd partition as ext4. went to CM11 recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, and formatted /system. flashed cm11 zip and gapps again. once CM is installed and running, installed Link2SD and foldermount. - and using it flawlessly right now.

***Many Many thanks to the TS of the links I shared. CREDIT goes to them.

Turn off network/wifi connection.

For me, It charge faster this way.

Sometimes I had to quote a post from there and I reply here!

But I think rules are not followed 100℅ nowadays.

[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Hey guys, I flashed xperia keyboard on cm11, but like you know it will be removed after flashing a new nightly.

So...

Is there is a way to keep it just like gapps?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Sure. Basing on content of ZIP with keyboard add appropriate lines as described here
[Sony Xperia M] smrai3:
i flashed everything and the phone is working except for there's no mobile service and that's all but the wi fi is working so what is the chances that the sim broke or something and i reflashed it a bunch of times also though
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Read this and in future always check out first post of original thread.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Thank you.

I understood the idea of the script but I don't think I could it edit it.

What If I flashed nightly zip and then keyboard zip without rebooting the device?

It will do the same job of the script.
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
But you asked to override manual reinstall every time, no?

And this is very useful: cm / delta updater can automaticly install new version without your interaction.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Yea I know, I guess I have to flash manually now; just the two zips at the same time.

I'm not sure if I'll edit the script the right way... I may mess it up. LOL xD

Thank you so much btw, you're helping everyone here (Y)
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Moving discussion here.

Flashed without theme and SoundFX: only camera and lockscreen.

They working fine. Seems full package will be fine too.
[Sony Xperia M] KHM90:
wow!! Really thanks for quick reply... I am downloading last nightly and goint to flash full zip then
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Now installed theme, icon-pack, launcher, screencast and equalizer (link to latest package)

All fine, except AudioFX, it crashes. Maybe it depends from something that deleted in /system
[Sony Xperia M] KHM90:
You are really fast man... thnx for ur guidance, i will skip audiofx then:)

[MENTION=5037002]Bonoboo[/MENTION] sir is there a way to fix the swipe right/left in cwm of nightlies ? Also from your post i find that the kernel fortwrp taken from aosp is old dated -8th July 2014 does that mean there are no kernel changes after that in nightlies and all ?
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Sometimes wifi disconnected and reconnect again by itself, anybody facing something like that?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
1. Fix unknown, PecanCM two times said that something broken in CM itself.

2. No, recovery "old", but kernel base fresh, from 7 Sep. I update it time to time, check name of file.

Maybe you turned on Settings > Wi-Fi > menu > Advanced settings > Wi-Fi optimization ?
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Yes, it is enabled by default, but I think it was there in stock fw too and I didn't noticed that wifi disconnect and re-connect.
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
This happens only at powering on screen or while using?
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
sometimes while powering on the screen and sometimes while using the phone :D

Notification Toggles [XMD]

there was a notification toggle that switched network from 2G to 3G, thou it didnt work in XMD, with both sims, but it helped to quickly getting to the Network menu. I was editing the toggles and the aforesaid toggle vanished, its not in the list. How do I get it back?
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Hmmm... Weird!

I had a story with this toggle.. LOL.

It is not working probably anyway, needs to be fixed or the toggle should be attached with sim associated with data traffic (internet access)

The only way to wait for a stable release to report a bug.

Or wait it maybe fixed in one of the upcoming nightlies!
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
That option enable Wi-Fi in deep-sleep every 10 minutes, it's not powered on all time.

So at powering on screen it connects.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Excuse me buddy, if you have spare time.

Could you do this for me, I'm not so clever ^^"

The keyboard zip contains:

Don't forget to remove .txt and set proper permissions (755).
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Thanks a lot for this, I'll compare it with the original one and try to learn ;) :thumbup:

[Sony Xperia M] madper:
Hai guys, long time since my last post here, :p

Only one thing left to make cm the perfect replacement for stock sony rom, especially after sony decided to stop software upgrade for our beloved xm, is the camera. No matter what i did, stock camera still unbeatable in quality, anyone have ported stock sony camera for cm? Or have any other alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Sent from my C1905
[Sony Xperia M] dastan4eva:
Trust me on this one no matter what you do or which camera app or apk ported from Sony flagships you use, you'll never get same cam clarity as you'd get from stock firmware on any other after market aosp based roms. Now i don't know exactly why this is happening maybe proprietary drivers or something but am sure there is little we can do about it
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Noticed no quality changes into bad side between stock and CM – imho they same in all aspects.

To prove this maybe will took photo of same scene with both firmwares.

Till April CM use stock HAL for camera ("drivers") from 4.3

PecanCM and this commit can confirm this.

As proof – photos now post-processed to remove color noise and because blurred if compare with 4.1.2

BTW this can be bypassed just by enabling HDR effect.
[Sony Xperia M] dastan4eva:
Awesome thanks for clarifying

Hey is it a bug that init.d is not natively supported by cm kernel or is it just like that only?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Ok, here pair of full-size non-edited photos with deleted EXIF-data.

Some taken by nightly CM11 with Camera app (no scene mode).

Some by last stock 4.3 with Sony's camera app (manual mode to gain 5 MP).

One, Two

Try guess who is who at 1:1 view: they identical (except sunlight brightness that caused changing white balance)

---------------------

Differences noticed only in "Auto" stock mode. Which also limits image resolution to 3 MP instead 5.

In this case phone choose scene "Landscape", it have just increased saturation.

Stock camera: Manual vs. Auto

CM's camera not selecting scene automatically, but if manually set it to "Landscape" result same:

CM11: No scene vs. Landscape

I hope myth busted.
[Sony Xperia M] cooldudeachyut:

Recovery install failure

Hi! I would like to try Cyanogenmod on my Sony Xperia M.

I was able to unlock the bootloader and write a new boot image.

Now I'd like to install a recovery, and that's when I get trouble.

This is what I type, in linux as root:

fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img

this is the output:

sending 'recovery' (10752 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.674s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.677s

How can I get permission to do that?

Thanx!
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Small comment about camera comparison...

The quality and resolution are the same of course,

my friend mentioned that photos taken with Android camera is better than stock camera.

I don't really know why he said that.

But for me, I still like stock camera and that's because it has more feature like auto scene recogniation / suprior auto / and other camera add-ons.

The thing is that it optimize colors according to the scene which makes the picture more beautiful.

At the end no major difference, it is just people opinions ;)

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I don't know about that recovery issue!

but as you want to flash CM11

it is ebough to flash boot.img cause it is already have cwm recovery.
[Sony Xperia M] TrueRage:
Thanx.

According to the guide I followed, after flashing boot.img, you should reboot, press the volume buttons while rebooting, and it should enter recovery mode (did that work with you guys?).

Well, in my case it didn't work, never saw a recovery mode on my phone :(
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
You should wait for led to light up then click and hold on volume down.. Maybe several times just to make sure.

If it doesn't boot into recovery flash boot.img again.

If you believe that something is messed up, the best solution is to flash stock tft and boot it at least for one time before starting with cm11 flashing procedures.

Good luck
[Sony Xperia M] SDee96:
I have to complain in here as well... :(

Why is there no init.d support for these roms newer than FXP 330?
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Use this thread please, and leave development thread in peace :P

Well.. I think those options are not presented in settings but you can do this by installing themes.

In my case I'm using android L theme now, and I have transparent status bar/ notifications/ quick panel settings.

Choose a nice theme for your desire ;)
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
Well, various camera add-on and features are one thing, But for me somehow foto taken by stock in low light environment better than aosp one, auto mode just work better on stock, flashlight and shooter timing a little bit different i think. But like what [MENTION=5037002]Bonoboo[/MENTION] has said, we used the same hardware and driver after all, so it should make no different :)

I think init.d still supported, there is some script on system/etc/init.d folder, and link2sd create his mount script there too and its worked.

[Sony Xperia M] bassgitt:
which recovery i need to use cm11? Anyone link please :confused:
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
Just use cwm recovery that come with cm, you can extract boot.img on cm zip file and flash using flashtool

Sent from my C1905
[Sony Xperia M] TrueRage:
No luck. I tried several times holding the volume down, pressing without holding pressing up and down... it never goes into recovery mode. It freezes up with the "SONY" write on the screen and i have to remove battery to turn it off, power button (even pressed long) does nothing.

Yes, I believe something is messed up. PC companion doesn't recognise the device. I tried the "repair" option, it says the phone has modified software that cannot be updated, I can't do anything. Dead device...
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Nope you're wrong; the device isn't dead.

Man!!! Use flashtool and flash Xperia M stock android 4.3 tft.

Then boot the device up after the flashing process finished.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
I know we can't report bugs now, but after taking screen shot the "share" icon causes the phone to soft reboot. :(

Anybody could confirm this, for me?
[Sony Xperia M] imdkiller:

I guess I need last_kmsg then :-/
[Sony Xperia M] TrueRage:
Thank you. I didn't know of Flashtool. It was slightly annoying to get the tft file, but I managed. Then with flashtool I was able to bring the device back to life with stock operating system...
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
1. Yes it does.

2. Kernel and recovery, but the zip itself will flash boot.img automatically for you, updating in cm11 its really fun :)

[Sony Xperia M] the_biu:
So, if I have TWRP as recovery and I flash the CM that has CWM in it's boot.img, will CWM overwrite TWRP?
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
Unfortunately yes, but then you can flash boot.img version which has twrp instead of cwm. For future update there is an option in update to not include recovery, i have not test it by myself though

Sent from my C1905
[Sony Xperia M] the_biu:
Oh, actually, seeing this screenshot I believe it doesn't overwrite. That's why there's this option I guess. If you enable this option it'll update and overwrite the recovery, but if you don't it won't do it...

Yes, but like i said before, i haven't proof it by myself, i use cwm instead of twrp so never need to deal with this kind of problem :D

Do I have To flash every Nightly build ??:confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Short answer: No

Long answer: it depends on you,

for example you could set "check for updates weekly"

Or you can do this manually when you want to update.

My point is: you're the one to decide.

For me I look at changelog if it was interesting I do the update.

If it was minor changes I skip that nightly update.

[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Hey [MENTION=5037002]Bonoboo[/MENTION]

I'm thinking about enabling ART for smooth performance and better battery life.

But I don't have any information about it except that it replaces dalvik cache.

I have few questions if you don't mind.

Should I reboot and clear dalvik cache after I enable ART?

Will ART remove my current apps?

Why it requires more space for cache, and what if I cleared cache from settings > storage?

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Here good article, tests of performance and battery

Energy consumption seems not affected, or very slightly.

Difference in few words: Dalvik "compiling" apps on-the-air, not all instructions by default in cache.

While running app this makes additional CPU usage > lags.

ART at installing app compiles it fully, so in cache we have whole "image" of instructions.

Due this install time and used space increased, but benefit worth it.

This will not remove your apps.

After switching phone reboots, deletes old cache and after long time create new.

Under "cache" I mean not temp files of apps.

I mean content of /data/dalvik-cache

For example with 107 apps Dalvik use 280 Mb, ART – 600 Mb

After switching to ART changes really noticeable.

Multitasking very fast (even just pressing button), scrolling in browser, Google Maps, no small lags in animations.

Also for better effect set all 3 animations from 1 to 0.7 or 0.5
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Thanks!

It really looks promising except for the storage part on our devices.

Did you faced any problem while reverting to dalvik again!?
[Sony Xperia M] kvg101:
actully i wanted to install xposed mod so i reflashed cm11 zip and did clean install again
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Ok, I just revert it back...

Without clean install.

Everything is fine and I didn't find any bug.
[Sony Xperia M] AndreaLish:
Sometimes I'm facing a problem with duplicate quick message pop-ups from stock CM11 message app. I'm not sure but I think that this problem occurs only when I receive a MMS message before . It's only a problem with pop-ups, I don't receive duplicate messages. It's not very uncomfortable, but it's kind of bug. I don't know if this problem exists on clean CM11 because I have apps like Xposed, Greenify installed and this may cause a problem. ( maybe? ) Does anyone else have this problem?
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
I have problem installing some apps like whatsapp using ART, it says invalid package. I already try installing it from playstore and directly using downloaded apk from official website with no luck.

Any solution or just wait for more stable ART release?
