no, ion shouldn't cause that. the "optimizing apps x/x" is probably your phone recreating the dalvik cache. if you do not have enough space on internal memory, then it cannot write all the dex files to disk, and will try to create them on next boot. if you haven't made more room in the meantime, it will always try that on every boot.

int2ext and mounts2sd are basically the same, i think. mounts2sd has a gui, int2ext does not, as far as i know. i have never tried int2ext, though.

i had problems with mounts2sd when i moved the cache partition or when i activated a swap partition. otherwise it seemed to run fine with this rom and the build from 6.5.. i suspect that it will still work with the newest build, though! i can also tell you that link2sd works fine on the newest build (16.5.).

i had a giant, stupid wall of text here first, because i misunderstood your question. :silly: this is my revised answer ^^

Here my compilation scripts. credits to original script maker

*if the cwm zip sshows error or what else, just xtract then co-pas manually to init.d folder

*40a2sd is the app2sd script that only move apks to /sd-ext n symlink to /data. CMIIW

*other script wont harm ur device, if u dont wanna use it, just delete it :)

Good luck

so, am i the only one that gets a settings force close when clicking on "more..." under "apps"? i do not want to change the vibration intensity anyway, but i find it hard to believe that i am the only one with that problem. if i am the only one, then i obviously messed up somehow :eek:

i did a clean flash of the build from 16.5. (format /system, factory reset), and only installed a slightly modified pa gapps package where i removed some apps and modified the update and addon.d scripts accordingly and link2sd plus. i tried wiping /cache and dalvik cache. the force close happens even after the rom update today (17.5.).

please tell me i am not the only one with that error, that would be shameful :o

i can send a logcat if it is needed. if i am the only one, i would probably just ignore the error, since that option really isn't used by me anyway.

the rom is running nicely otherwise (very stable), lots of thoughtful little improvements! good job and thanks@ team vanir! :good:

anyone has test with dark kernel???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keen36:
i am testing the new kernel from 18.5. with the vanir nightly from 17.5. at the moment, everything seems to be working perfectly, 353mB ram :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arc_n_krizt:
what??? new nighly has come on 18052014....???

im on dark kernel and try to OTA Updater.... want not hurry to try new nighly cause i confort form 05132014.... just change kernel with Dark Kernel now...

EDIT :

yes... you right... dont know what u mean u use dark kernel or on the zip....

and yes on 05132014 i have message low space (cause i not intergrated with partision sd card) and now my space phone just increase.....

hope found a good app to linked app on sd card... and tis old phone become a perfect...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keen36:
to clarify: when i wrote my last post, i was using dark kernel from 18.5. with the vanir nightly from 17.5.. i am updating (one-click-updating woohooo :D ) at this very moment to 18.5. vanir.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] robin236265:
oh? one-click-update? there's OTA in this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keen36:
i think ota implies updates being pushed to the user, vanir has an automatic updater app which you can set to peridically check for updates. if that is what you mean with ota, then yes. if an update is available, you can download it directly from the notification tray and then also one-click install it from there, it reboots the phone automatically into recovery and flashes the zip. it also wipes dalvik and runs the cm backup script for gapps etc.. this makes for a comfortable update.

when i tried it, it worked perfectly:

1. click on install

2. make a coffee

3. new rom is installed

:D :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arc_n_krizt:
yes... this ROM can OTA... just try... :D

i combination with dark kernel....

the importance notice, if you use App Partision like Link2sd you must recreate mount script cause 2nd partision not mounted...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keen36:
just flash this script from cwm:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/367019-...nightly-builds-available/page-43#entry2187494

it will add a small script to the addon.d directory which backs up the link2sd mountscript and puts it back after the update.

the only thing you have to mind is that since the rom update deletes dalvik cache, the cache will be rebuilt on the first boot (optimizing app x/x). this will of course put all those dex files back on your internal memory. if you have way too many apps, internal could become filled completely, in which case dalvik creation will stop and you will get "insufficient storage" after booting. if that happens, just enter link2sd and click on "link dalvik files" and then reboot. it will finish creating the rest of the dex files.

can't answer call with headset

Thanks for this awesome rom,

I have to report a few bugs though, mostly headset related:

I use a wired headset, but it probably affects bluetooth too.

can't answer call with headset button while screen is locked, no pin or pattern lock configured, just plain swipe to unlock

If you can fix 1., if its possible, please make sure that the phone stays locked when you answer a call by pressing the headset button.

It is the most annoying bug on android since the beginning of android times, at least for headset users, but it seems google doesn't care.

see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17216 for more info

also, everybody please star this issue, maybe some1 at google finally notices and fixes it. Or next phone will have to be an i or winPhone :eek:
​

voice search doesn't work by long pressing headset button while screen locked

great it would be, placing a call with the phone in the pocket:angel:​

music doesn't pause/reduce volume on incoming call when phone is on vibrate

sometimes you don't feel vibration while walking or on a bike, but you also can't hear the call while happily listening to music​

no ringtone in headphones when phone on vibrate

there are tons of situations where you would prefer to hear the ring on your headphones while not annoying people around you.It worked like this on original anzu gingerbread firmware and also on thousands pre-android SonyEricsson dumbphones​

bottom 5mm of touchscreen in portrait mode doesn't register touch (softbuttons are off)

this has already been reported by several other users​
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
[MENTION=3728339]ChainSOV[/MENTION] Thanks bro

about touch screen no response at bottom i'm using 20/05 nightly works perfect :)

Please guys tell me which nightly using !!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChainSOV:
Also on 20/5, seems to work after messing with on screen buttons, enabling/disabling/sizing them down.

But it stops to work again after a reboot, although the softbuttons bar is disabled.

Hi All,

I have installed this ROM now. can you tell me what performance settings i must use for smooth, stable daily usage?

Also i have issue with keyboard, it is unresponsive most times...some keys don't work or i need to tap had multiple times to make it work!

Thanks!

Anyone knows how to enable PIE feature as stated available with extended at OP?

I've been using latest vanir for anzu.

*] front LED holographic keyboard >> another dream in android
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keen36:
wi-fi worked fine for me on all the latest builds. if you want to go back to an older version or if you just want to try a cleaner flash:

1. nandroid 2. flash kernel 3. reboot in cwm 4. format /system, /cache and dalvik cache 5. flash rom 6. reboot into system 7. reboot into cwm 8. flash gapps

your apps and data will not be lost this way.

if you are still having problems, you can try /format system and factory reset instead of step 4, you will have a truly clean flash, but you will then have to re-install all apps again.

i recommend interactive and cfq. the lower keyboard row being unresponsive is probably this problem:

so, if you enable and disable the navigation bar (or immersive/expanded mode) after boot like chainsov says, the problem goes away. which version do you use, vipinrahul? it's better to always mention that when reporting problems.

i haven't found PIE settings either, i think it is not yet implemented in our version of vanir.

I have my own question, too:

does the updater app recognize when the kernel in the zip has been updated? :confused: does it tell me when i need to fastboot flash a new kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Drupry:
I have exactly the same problem, its rly annoying when i type on SW keyboard and spacebar works just oh its half....

low quality music via bluetooth

Hi

I am currently using the great vanir ROM but I have a problem on all of the 4.4.2 ROMs with the quality of the music while playing trough my Bluetooth headphones.

the music plays a little bit slower, in low pitch and there is allot of noise and clicks.

i have tried changing the CPU governor and the I/O scheduler and also the minimum CPU frequency. nothing helps.

can someone please help me with this problem?

thank you :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
this is source problem then i think u will got it in any KK rom

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannhs_n:
Try ViPER4Android install it(use high quality driver) use FX Compatible Mode set it default music/system equalizer and configure Bluetooth settings!

this may be a solution to your problem :good:

How to flash this new keyboard?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Swapnil1619:
Its on google play store just search n install it n fallow the steps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChainSOV:
It was working on 20/5. After taking the picture the focus would reset, but the taken picture was in focus.

Updated to 25/5 camera autofocus still works

Unresponsive touch screen bottom with disabled navigation bar still broken.

Is it possible to disable the "setting volume above recommended level" warning permanently?

If you are trying to change the volume with screen off, you don't see the warning, and also can't set the volume higher than the warning level.

After unlocking the screen, setting the volume and dismissing the warning it works. But after a reboot its back again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
In sammy droid devices rom & kernel wrote at same mmcblk, so if u flash any rom zip with cwm, it'll overwrite old kernel by the kernel included in rom zip. Bootloader has its space in different mmcblk, so if u want to change it, u'll need odin to flash.

Sony has a difference for kernel & rom. U should always flash the kernel.img or sin by fastboot mode if u want a change. Flashing any rom zip won't overwrite the kernel.

CMIIW....

[Xperia Arc Android Development] keen36:
there was a misunderstanding here. i know that the updater cannot flash a new kernel on my phone. in fact, that is precisely why i asked: will the updater app tell me that i need to fastboot a new kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
I knew what u meant. That's why i wrote second paragraph, it's spoken in a general way.

So the answer of ur last question is no.

I've OTA'ed 20/5 to 25/5 & my kernel sticks dark kernel 18/5.

Vanir Update

I have couple of queries. As you can see in the attachment, there are 3 updates shown in Vanir Updater.

Do I need to update all three or just the latest one?

Also, by doing the update from Vanir Updater, will there be a reduction in the volume of data that gets downloaded compared to standard update process (download the latest rom and flash it manually)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arc_n_krizt:
Nope. Just update on the latest version. You can combination with dark kernel if you want

i have the same problem when i use the included kernel, stuck on the bootlogo with no recovery mode. with dark kernel 8.6. it boots, but camera and video preview doesn't work. with the included kernel from 28.5. it also boots, but also has problems with camera and video. also the new bootanimation seems to play way too fast. it looks like it is on double speed or something.

A new update is there again dated June13th. Downloading the same now. You try that and see if your problem is fixed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dr.SAM88:
This is android kitkat....you'll need a kitkat Kernel.

Usually the best one is the one given inside the Rom.zip....usually boot.img or annother .img file.

If not you could try Darkkernel CM11.

Another CM11 4.4.2 kernel is out somewhere for ARC....

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pablopablo:
great work, i'm currently testing this rom and i found some bugs:

screen recording doesn't work; recorded video is a one second green screen video.

included web browser is very laggy (known bug). other web browsers work fine (opera mini or dolphin),

when you activate quick acces toogles shown in drawer and linked layout to quicksettings, not all tiles are shown (network mode and mobile data) in drawer but they do appear in quicksettings.

i miss on screen buttons, an option to enable High End graphic effects in performance settings and an file browser in system apps...

outlook app was unable to login...

i had about 10 unexpected reboots while restoring apps with titanium backup and a few using link2sd so i decided to restore my old rom backup and quit testing.

so... my conclusion is that this rom has interesting features but a lot of fixes are needed to be used as usual rom. don't give up!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
the only reason that i dont want to use the kernel provided in the ZIP, is that most of kernels that was provided in rom's until now coused bootloops.

so i ask, does the kernel in the ZIP works fine? how is the battery life? is the rom stable with it? and if its not good, what kernel is good for this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
this is the reason why i started #Project developer more roms / more awsomeness .. and 1 thing please always add how build this rom in your OP..

it will help others to build.. their own ..!

just soon to come this quick cam and flash notifications

but already added busybox, embedded root, init.d, cron etc

About kernel use the kernel inside or use Vatsal's kernel (using it right now)

its great

guys please follow directions in the first post to don't have any bugs

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
[MENTION=4626353]pablopablo[/MENTION] first screen record will be fixed soon maybe

web browser know bug maybe i will use rebelos idea to fix it

quick acces toogles works perfect for me

one screen buttons will check it for u ..file manger will be added

titanium backup i don't advise u to use it anyway reboots lol why ?! (will test it)

have u followed the directions

after install rom wait 10 min then full reboot then enjoy ;)

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
[MENTION=4314225]gabimx[/MENTION] yeah u can use the inside zip kernel

or vastal kernel works perfect too for me

battery life friendly
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pablopablo:
yes, i followed the directions, flashed twice thinking i had done something wrong at first... i did a clean installation, flashed included kernel, full wipe, flashed rom, waited some time to stabilize rom and flashed gapps. i'm not newbe

and as you can see i am not the only one having problems with notification drawer - quick access toggles, in my case was bluethooth aswell

i must say i've been using titanium backup to restore the apps i use for a long time (about 2 years), testing dozens of roms and ALL kitkat roms and never had a strange behavior untill now (unexpected reboots) so if it is a problem to use it to restore backed up apps, this should be considered as a bug (in my opinion). using carbon, legacyxperia, aorp, hellkat, aokp, polygonkk (all releases of all roms) i didn't have any unexpected reboot while restoring apps with titanium. as you know, titanium is an habitual app for everybody.

i'll give another try to this rom in a few days but i really don't think i've done anything bad since i'm used to test roms and i allways read the instructions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
This is what happens to me!

it says, when i flash the kernel provided, the nothing can be mounted.

its like the krnel is bed or sommting. P.S it works out finaly, dont know why.

any way, i found a bug.

the gallery dose not recognise my photos that i allready took. it does not show them.

only the whatsapp photos.

how can i fix it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] troubled_android:
about restoring the backed up apps, I've always used clean master and backed up all apps with it and then with root browser (or similar) you just go to folder where everything is saved and install the apps from there easily. Never had any reboots or anything on any rom including this one. I don't know if clean master does the same work as titanium backup but I hope this helps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
maybe its need some time

if still not shown reboot or clear gallery data then reboot
