[Xperia SP Original Android Development] lucasgta95:
The mine looks great, look at the attachment, using .207 :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] [==)BULLET(==]:
Actually the benchmark isn't a good way to look as it gave me variety of different results.

Example: RAM: 980 -> 1890 (quite a difference in just second run)

So lets close this topic already and don't hijack the thread for posting results of benchmark.

Sent from XSP using my hands!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Zygmus:
You're right. Result may be vary depend on many environment factors, or benchmark app used. I'd like to point on something what is permanent, on my device at least. One is common. No matter how many tests I do, no matter when, or what application I use. My external storage (cheap sd card) write ratio is over two times faster than internal one.

For me it makes it clear (think about freezes if you write big amount of data on your internal sd), there is a performance issue concerning our XSP's flash ram.

How do behave other (not Sony) comparable smarphones during and after installation of an application from playstore? Do they freeze like XSP's?

EDIT: I had to delete my Exchange account on my SP. It means many MBs have to be deleted on internal sd. My phone was unusable over 20 minutes...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
I am begin to wonder, do you guys face this "freeze" on stock ROM?

For me I must say there is no freezing at all when installing an app at playstore but exception goes to CM theme but I dont think it is related to I/O slowness etc.

About benchmark being different in different runs is normal. You can't expect anything to be always in a static value in computing devices. ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Stock rom user here.

I can confirm the lags on the stock rom. Whenever I install apps from the play store the phone starts lagging like hell. It mostly happens when the app is downloaded and it starts being installed. Sometimes the "freeze" happens for a second, other times I have to reset the phone via the small button in the back because the phone gets stuck. Same happens when I am downloading torrents but with them the lags occur only during the downloading process. Maybe you guys are onto something. Maybe slow memory might indeed be the problem.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Zygmus:
Is it possible taht trying other I/O governors could improve that issue?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
Now I feel weirder :eek:

Thanks for the reply tho
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gaumzi2010:
yes i do experience freezes when i install apps from play store both in Stock as well as CM,,!!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] shofiul1994:
webpage not available when i try to download this rom
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Zygmus:
I changed I/O governors to cfq just for testing. I don't know if anything changed in SD I/O operrations, but it seems there is a vissible battery improval....

EDIT: Jus got 3 updates (Facebook, Inbox, and Calendar), and ti was no freeze (just a little slowness). Maybe it's worth testing? What do you think?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
flash the latest williams kernel for CM, set just minfrequency for cpu at 480mhz and your phone will fly... ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gaumzi2010:
i changes governor to cfq and can see noticeable improvement in the smoothness while accessing settings from main screen shortcut. I also was experiencing a big lag while changing my time settings to get extra life in candy crush however after changing to cfq the lag has come down drastically. Further, while booting the boot animation was laggy for first 3-4 seconds (the circles) and now its smooth from first circle...thanks guys.

Need your advice on this however. When my phone is on charging and i want to type or message the letters dont type even after pressing the keypads..only after i remove the charging it starts functioning..Any headsup...Edit :: I never experienced lag in typing while on stock
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Zygmus:
I had this on stock, and sometimes on CM. But... the issue exists only when my divice is in horizontal position (on a table, floor or something).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gaumzi2010:
Thanks Zygmus..yes you are right the problem is horizontal placement but thats the case even when we take out charging but its works fine than
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Theliakos:
lag lag lag g

Guys i am going to blow my brain ! Why so much lag ??? I lag lile hell in This rom !! Using william v8 min 384 max 1728 smartassv2 and sio wft cant hold it any more !!!!!!!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] uberlaggydarwin:
better check back in

long time no see guys.

apologies for the lack of response for a couple of months (i've had about 1000 things on my plate - real life sux :P ).

i do actually still exist still and haven't forgotten about you (if you follow me on G+ you probably know what's up)

i've just been really busy with another CyanogenMod bringup on a HTC device and exams (they always happen at the worse times) :)

the cm-12.0 code review has been on review for about a month and a half ready :) so it's pretty much ready to go when i get since time this week (next week) as i've got a bit of holidays time

i'll put up some builds here soon (but good job to the guy doing the LBL builds and thanks for the effort) so then we can get nightlies for cm-12.0 when they start in january :) - it's nearly 35 degrees celcius so the plan is go to the beach during the day and android hacking at night/in the afternoon :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ireaper4592:
good to see u back
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] fsyh95:
good to see u,enjoy ur time:beer:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sanzNya:
Take your time bro... :) . Glad to see you here.. :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] berezker:
you either flashed it wrongly or you're not supposed to installed V8 (Which is meant for Stock only)

Try V5 for Cm
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MT27i:

lollipop probabillities

well xperia sp has low probabilityw to get lollipop cm 12 official thats what someone told me is it true ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
It will probably get, but, the question is if it will get a daily usable version, with cm11 we didn't got (lags, forced closing, other annoyng bugs like the loss of settings after dirty reboots and many more problems), so i think it will be really hard to get a stable rom.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TsunaH:
Cm 11 M11 is stable and we can use it for a daily usable version
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
yes really stable.... lol

It depends on the use of the smartphone, i make an intense use, and its really unstable for me, sometimes gps stopped working, sometimes the lockscreen was offset, a lot of forced closing, and other problems, black screen with incoming calls and impossible to answer, lags, freezes, random reboots...

So ok maybe for you a rom with that problems is for daily use, not for me, not for the entire world... ;)

IMHO i think you never used a really daily stable cyanogenmod...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TsunaH:
Sorry but I don't have those problems with an intensive use.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] persian99:
is there any way to change the weather source for the cLock widget? currently there are only yahoo weather and openweathermap available, both of which dont seem to provide accurate forecasts for my area. im aware of an alternative, Chronus, but it takes up too much RAM. perhaps a future update could add more weather sources to choose from? im on M11 by the way
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Yeti12:
Since the offical CM12 Nightlies were just released for 31 devices (CM Website), does that mean the initial version for Huashan should also be released fairly soon?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] rdlegy:
Guys, I tested lg l bello, which has lower end hardware and performs much better, it doesn't have any lag in the ui and has 600mb + free ram. How? How can I make my phone run the same? Sony sp has better specs and should be able to do it? Maybe ui, mod, dunno
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] DanielZRK:
Free RAM is Wasted RAM ;) This is Android not Windows!

Don't worry the L Bello never will run a hard graphics games and maybe in hard multitasking have a poor performance because the Mediatek SoC ever will be poor. (You can't comparie a old outdated ARM Mali-400MP2 with Adreno 320)

So, keep waiting for CM12, uberlaggydarwin says he's making a build soon!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] rdlegy:
No every game works fine, I know that the sp will run games better, but the lg l bello is much responsive and very, very, very smooth phone. I can see laggs while swipping in menus in the sp, but no such thing on the bello
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] DanielZRK:
If you want a veeeeeery responsive ROM Try the CM11 LBL By MrSteve555

And flash this ;)

PD: Try Intelimm + CFQ for normal usage and Interative + CFQ for gaming :D

PD2: Don't try ART
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] rdlegy:
I tried everything and also optimized packages, the rom is just not as smooth as the lg l bello. I really like this phone, it suits me perfect, but I hate lags on my phone at most. cm 12 is working a little bit better, but still has lag. So sad :( And I can't seem to find a phone that will suit me and won't be expensive. I want to stay on this phone and I will stay on it no matter what. I will always have laggy phone, but what can I do really? Im sad
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
Actually both Windows and Linux utilises the RAM efficiently but how it utilises it is different to each other. It is just kind of bugging me seeing these "free ram is wasted ...." and many others. Let's just assume he was talking that the LG device has 600MB of cached memory.

Oh and no flame wars and debates please :( Just airing my opinion and is no way meant to cause any offence (if there is, I am so sorry)

Now Regarding Cyanogenmod 11

Warning: May be off-topic for mods lol

I am facing a very annoying battery drain. It gets worse by time. I don't remember having this problem when I first flashed CM11 months ago. My battery drains like crazy till it gets like 1% per 2 minutes. It is solely unacceptable. I even had a 1% decrease at every 45 minutes when I sleep. Well I had it only once but I still feel weird.

Battery monitoring? Hell yea I do care about it. I always greenify things when I know I am about to leave the phone for a long time. Amplify Xposed Module? Yes. Less apps in the background? Yes. Anything else that should drain your battery? No.

So I decide to get back into the flashing craze and my first stop was AOKP. Amazingly AOKP uses the battery efficiently. I felt weird. I suddenly came to realise it might be the kernel. I then flashed Williams Kernel v5 on it and then the draining returns.. AHA! CM kernel is the culprit! Since I notice this lately but not at my first time of CM, it might also have to do with Sony's newly updated kernel source dated a few months earlier if I am correct. But I forgot to one thing, which is to flash CM's default kernel on AOKP. Maybe I didn't do that as I think that Williams Kernel should be enough.

But I might still be wrong (devs please hit me with your best thoughts!) ;)

So I am no longer a UBL user of CM. I flashed MrSteves weekly (but my phone is still UBL :P) and now CM drains my battery very efficiently.

How about you guys?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] persian99:
i had battery drains too, but i managed to solved the problem by first identifying the wakelocks using BetterBatteryStats. in my case it was a wakelock related to the android wear service, so I got this app DisableService app and i didnt have any battery drain ever since. if your wakelocks are related to a service, such as the mediascanner service for example, theres a good chance you could just disable it and get rid of the battery drain.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
Well, as I already mentioned in the last post, I use Amplify to kill (more precisely, delay) wakelocks. I flashed MrSteve's CM11 and my draining is less than before. Yet I was actually dirty flashed (but I do wipe /system tho) his rom over the UBL CM11.

So I guess the draining is not to be on the user end. :(
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
lol free ram means better performance in all OS from the born of IT, i can't hear those bull****s on a developer forum, if you finish the ram android will start reloading and closing services in a continuos loop, so the lags and the slow multitasking will come.

For a faster android you will always need 200 -250 mb of free ram, every OS needs a free bunch of ram, when free ram ends the os start to kill services and to swap, overloading the SD, the memory bus and the CPU, the result is that your phone become like a 2006's single core with 256mb of ram.

Seriously, stop talking about OT and about things you don't know, this is a technical forum for the development of Cyanogenmod not a Bar.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
Exactly. Stop talking about things you don't know...

Btw. 3h of screen on time consume 50% of my battery charge at average, this is just great and equal to stock rom. Very nice!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] rdlegy:
Guys you are right. No offense, but sony might have a better gpu, but hardware IS NOTHING compared to good made software and most of the phones I have tested are with 500mb + free ram. This phone is just a bad phone and decent for gaming, which I think is impossible on stock, because games like asphalt will force close, because of the lack of free ram. Sony makes really bad software with 1000000000000 x bloatware, I tested sony m2 and it is the same300mb free ram, lol. Don't hate me, but sony was with tft displays in flagman's until the z2 and sony's midranger's are also with tft displays
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] thewild:
Never got a FC on Asphalt, and I am running stock .

I did remove a lot of stock system apps though.

Stock ROM is not good, but clean it and it becomes very decent. Battery life is very good for instance (and no need to use Stamina).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] RoXzAn:
Is there any one who is currently working on official nightlies for cm12 for our phone?????
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Theliakos:
well non of all xperias has official cm 12 from cyanogenmod so i have a felling that when xperias get the cm 12 official we will get it too
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Dragonkind:
But what did it mean?

The official CM11 nightly stopped updating...

Were we fully abandoned by CM?

Or it means CM12 will be coming soon?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Silver Wx:
Cm11 nightly has stopped because now CM focus on CM12, wait a while for CM12 :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vvaklnprm:
Any other smooth builds?

I have been using FXP 343 since I heard in this thread that it was the smoothest CM 11 till date.

Have you guys been using any other updated builds that is as smooth as this build?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] nplezka:
Keep calm guys and read here
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] KelleyCook:
CM11 official hasn't stopped quite yet. They are now weeklies instead of nightlies.

FXP build server died. They'll resume after it is fixed.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pipi14:
FXP will not resume anything SP is now under legacy devices so development has stoped.. But I hope that CyanogenMod will resume support for SP
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] shofiul1994:
can anyone helpme wih the download from this server??? Have been waiting to use this rom still cant download
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] donk165:
have you tried on the fxp site? they have 2 mirrors and their official server on there i believe. http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/

Im about to try out FXP349, has anyone else tried it? I feel like im going in blind, cant find any change logs or anything?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
The CM Nightlies work just fine.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MadMaxPN:
Cast Screen

Cast screen not working on cm11 nightly?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vite74:
Try with this

All credits goes to r3pwn

Worked for me! :)

Cheers.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MadMaxPN:
Is this only for Chromecast, i Have Sony Bravia smart, not working :(
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] KelleyCook:
I glad you think so but you realize that Mint (Xperia T) which shares the Kernel with our SP is getting CM12 nightlies. So forgive me if I think you will be proven wrong in the near future.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] kontini:
Moreover it had mobile data issues like our other 5.0.x roms and it was fixed in a day :/

I really hope our developer can find a bit of time to give us CM12 nightlies because he is busy in many projects so official support will be ready when it's ready.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pipi14:
Proven wrong, did you even read my post? FXP and CM are not the same. CyanogenMod makes nightlies for mint I know, but FXP wount do anything for our device anymore
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] foxmcc8:
Proven wrong,FXP are the maintainers of our official CM builts as well.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] shofiul1994:
Doesn't work just unable to download it from any site... Tried almost all other roms this is left
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MadMaxPN:
This works only for Chromecast, is there any chance to work with Sony Smart tv?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Mrcl1450:
cm download server is down :( Btw still no cm12 news?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
FXP Team are the developers of the CM that you use, nothing change, the only thing that is different is that FXP is Weekly and CM daily, now stop or ill report to a mod.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Theliakos:
Great news

EVERYBODY calm your tits hahah jk jk ! cm 12 is coming and its comfired by our beloved mainteaner brinly taylor ! (uberlaggydarwin ) also other xperias are getting cm 12 as xperia v xperia t and z1 z1compact and z2 etc ! so dont worry and fingerscrossed ! ^_^

:D :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] shofiul1994:
cm12 already exists for xsp.... stable is what is missing. Me not so excited for lollipop as i was. Still love kit kat hahaha
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] donk165:
I agree, Im still pretty hyped for lollipop, but I just want a stable 4.4 CM11 if it can be done. The fact that we have moved to a legacy support device on FXP makes me think devs will be moving on from this device soon. We may get a few builds of CM12 and a few more CM11 builds.

Im currently on FXP 349 (latest non nightly build) using ART and the stock CM kernel and Ive been getting UI crashes and the UI just doesn't seem very responsive (its almost as if the UI is set to be on a low priority). When the UI isn't being laggy or being killed, the device does seem pretty fast, playing Marvel Contest of Champions, the FPS looks really fluid.

I hope our device continues to be supported by the great devs, we'll just have to see what happens.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Josephzhu:
I am also on FXP 349 with ART instead, i found everytime when the phone reboot, it going to recompile the apps. on screen it show "upgrading xx of xx ". i think it is a problem as i am using ART on nexus 5, it will not recompile the apps everytime it reboots.

any idea?

Joseph
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Bruno_Puzoni:
It was always like this on FXP (official nightlies too maybe)

FXP 344 and 346 (the ones I used) was like this
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Plum Crazy:
Here you go:

This should be added to the OP.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
sometime i got crashes from system ui and the phone reset back the default wallpaper, this really sucks, it happen almost everyday...

Any solutions?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
I once had this, but flashing the same zip again (no format required) fixed it for me. Maybe you should try it as well?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Dragonkind:
And the lockscreen wallpaper can't adjust itself to be the same as we crop…

So does the homepage wallpaper when we use a third-part launcher.

___

Btw, why can't we use "double-tap to wake"?

Is it related to our kernel?

Hope someone can fix this sincerely…

Don't tell me to use gravity box, we have only 1GB of RAM!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
hope it will be solved with the next nightly, a lot of changes in framework...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Plum Crazy:
I've been using the stock gallery app to set wallpapers without cropping. As for 'double-tap to wake', yeah I think it's a kernel feature.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] peters.:
I'm on nightly from 18.1 and no reboot or freeze sofar (had many on previous nightlies back in november).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
Same for me, but still system UI crashes and stuttering...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MrChicken148:
This error message appears to me very often on my smartphone, which would be the solution
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] krokanic:
I am on latest nightly about two days and its very stable... No bugs so far... Just one i found...the CAST SCREEN doesn't work... Is there any fix for this?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
the solution is to read the thread and to don't flood, it's a CM bug, the problem is on the framework, you have to wait the fix from developers, and please read previous posts next time, and please again, if you post a screenshot post it in english... ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MrChicken148:
Orray thank's for your answer, i'll be patient and the next image will be in english :good:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
regarding "system.ui" crashes, it appear that with the latest nightly is fixed, almost for me, 48 our of use a no system ui crashes... ;)

EDIT:

after some days of use System UI crashes are back.

When i receive a call from an unknown number, callerid crashes, disabling provider lookup in call settings the crash doesn't persist.

In italy providers for call number search are setted to "white pages US" and not Italy, so it's impossible to find numbers.

Yesterday i had "location service" crash too.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vvaklnprm:
Some advice for CM 11 users..

For everyone who is using CM 11 ROMs, and facing UI crashes and laggy performance, do not use ART, no matter how attractive it is.

I repeat, DO NOT switch to ART.

I made the same mistake on all CM 11 ROMs I have used so far, just use Dalvik and see the difference.

I recently switched to Dalvik when I reflashed my ROM, and I was like wtf? Everything is buttery smooth, gaming is awesome and overall everything is perfect.

P.S. I am using FXP 343 with Williams kernel (latest version)

P.P.S. I request uberlaggy to sign off for M12 official, please if you see this don't forget. Thanks! :)
