I have installed the apps i've been using with all roms, but this is the first time i'm facing such a huge battery drain.

Now I know the cause: Facebook & Facebook Messenger! With WakeLock Detector I found that on top of the "Wakeup triggers" was Facebook & Facebook Messenger with over 1000 triggers. Once uninstalled both apps the battery consumption went back to normal.

PLUS!:

- dialer lag when calling somebody and some music playing issues (headphones commands not working/no controls on locked screen/music stopping sometimes) are now gone;

- no more back button issues;

- the phone doesn't lag when i turn on the wifi/mobile data and the dialer still works!

Could we do something that would make facebook apps less aggresive with our device?

One solution is to use alternative apps for facebook, lighter & faster, such as Fast & Fast Messenger..

*Now i'll try the stable build for slimkat, v6.0.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] abbas23:
Well you can use greenify to freeze Facebook and fb messenger as they will then only work when you open them

App volume control

There is a problems with volume control for apps.

For example: I set volume to 20% for app but after restart volume is set to another level other than 20% (maybe set to default volume level).

I have to press volume up or down to have the volume controller readjust volume level to the right level.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kr3ck3n:
I'm now running slimkat 6.0 stable and I don't know if it is because of this version or because I have started with minimal gapps, but a lot of problems for me are now solved and in over 2 hours of installing / configuring apps the facebook apps and the dialer were behaving normally (and this without performance control or any other tweaks, just the rom & minimal gapps). Though, I'll use greenify & performance control!

I have a question about the OTA updater: this will only add the new version changes over existing or will perform a system/config/apps/etc wipe and all my configs & apps will be gone?

Thanks!

I'm using Carbon Weekly-05/07 and I have a question about dirty flashing.

For some reason ota doesn't work for me so is it okay to download latest build on pc and copy it to phone.

And then just flash cache partion and dalvik cache before flashing new build and new gapps??

Or is it done in another way??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
I used to wipe cache, dalvik AND SYSTEM, UNMOUNT SYSTEM, then flash ROM, Gapps, wipe cache & dalvik, reboot.

This is what it's suggested in SlimKat OP.

I think I finally found the main reason of this problems.

Some apps seem to install to SD Card (Not External SD Card) automatically and all these apps link icon will disappeared from homescreen after restart.

I have tried to move some apps from SD Card to phone and tried place those app icons on homescreen and it did not disappeared again.

So I thought homescreen seem to not to include/scan apps on SD Card.

I will try some other apps on SD Card an post result later.

CM11 custom ROM experiences

Hi there,

I'm playing with various Sola 4.4.2 ROMS for some time now, and wanted to share my experiences and troubles.

I tried HellKat, Carbon, AOKP and the unofficial CM11.

I dropped the unofficial CM11 quickly for the lack of customization options, and it had battery drain because NFC was enabled.

AOKP had battery drain too. It nearly never went to deep sleep because KeyguardTestActivity (com.android.keyguard) permanently consumed around 15% cpu.

Then I ran HellKat Nightly-2 for a while and was quite satisfied. It is very stable and runs for up to 2.5 low-usage workdays if I activate flight mode over night, which I usually do. I guess that is as much as one can expect from the Sola. I have never seen a longer battery life on this phone, even with the stock ROM. With higher usage (for me this means using GPS, Audio intensively) it normally has no problem enduring at least one day.

I tried Carbon Nightly-3 in the past 2 days. It seems to have a somewhat shorter battery life, and I encountered the same issue with WhatsApp/Telegram as Sicily98IT here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50785243&postcount=214

Today I went back to HellKat (restored a backup) where I didn't have this problem before, but now I saw it here too. A second reboot seemed to have cleared it, though. It probably would have cleared it too on Carbon, but I didn't try.

Other issues that I observed (already reported by others):

black lockscreen background after reboot, goes away after first unlock.

Bluetooth FC.

Now a few questions:

Is there a way in HellKat to disable lock screen rotation?

Is there a way to configure the rotation delay for the lock screen as well as apps? It's different in both.

Will there be a Nightly-3 HellKat anytime soon?

Missing notifications

The reboot did not clear it. I again observed missing notifications later in the day, in various apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, eBay, mail), and it doesn't seem to be important if these apps are currently running or not. This morning when I switched off flight mode (which was on during night hours), several messages came in that should have arrived already yesterday in the afternoon.

Today everything seems to work so far, but if it occurs again I will try a full wipe and reinstall.

Been using Carbon Rom since nightly 1. Excellent rom. Now on nightly 3 i have some serious problems with calls. When i recive a call, i answer it, talk for about 2 minutes and then the phone freezes. After a minute or two, it reboots and everything is alrirght until next call. Also if the phone doesn't reboot after the call, i can't unlock it for a while, i get a black screen.

I feel its some aggressive Lmk implementation but found no init.d for it,is it the kernel?

I tried getting logs but didn't find anything

The Back button also freezes sometimes.

Dont know if I was able to put it in the right way.

Has anyone enabled inbuilt memory tweaks, Allow purging of assets and ksm?

I had a backup with my apps made with Titanium BAckup and restored it. No extra tweak apps. Also have enabed inbuilt memory tweaks ksm and purging of assets...

EDIT:

Never enable (or disable) in system performance, memory tweaks. Thay just make your phone laggy and unusuable. A few posts before i said that i had system reboots after calls and unlockable screen. ALL because of memory tweaks. Just disabled them and rebooted. Everything is smoooooooooth! :D

Again, EXCELENT rom!!!

Another question i have.. Has anyone else experienced low volume during playback of music or videos or call ringing even all is maxed out?

And is everything ok with your mic? because when i am on call if i talk with my phone placed on my ear the other partner can't hear me clearly... If i put the call on speaker, everything is clear and loud. I have this problem even on stock JB's. Have tried many roms but none solved the problem, except carbon 2 i think for a while and then the same problem happened again...

Battery drain

What is the recommended way to identify the cause for battery drain? (Running HellKat Nightly-2)

It's not a constant drain. Sometimes it works fine for days. That's when I can use the phone for 2 working days without charging, and then suddenly it starts draining the battery from full to nearly empty within 12 hours, even over night with flight mode on.

In the attached screenshot the first half were ca. 8 hours night time with flight mode on where it lost 60% (1-2% would be normal), then a few hours normal usage, then a reboot followed by some time without noteworthy drain, then it started again.

When I plugged in the charger the percentage jumped up from 15 to 40%, so it seems on top of the draining it also seems to get the battery state wrong sometimes.

As can be seen by far the main consumer is the OS itself. But what in the OS could be responsible for the drain?

Step by step installation

Hey guys,

I'm sorry for asking here stupid questions, but please tell me: what should I exactly do to properly install CarbonKK? The only thing I did to date to my Sola was flashing the phone with official ICS by flashtool. So - yes, I'm a noob, I know it. :cyclops:

But ok, it's time to come to the point. So, is it the right order of installation?

1. Unlock bootloader (using official Sony's method),

2. Root phone,

3. Install kernel [Is it obligatory step or maybe proper kernel is already included in ROM (CarbonKK) and I don't have to search for another one? And if it's important to install one, please tell me which kernel woudl be optimal for CarbonKK.],

4. Install ROM by ClockworkMod.
​

Thanks in advance for each help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2010radams:
Hello, yes, unlock bootloader. Then make a copy of the

boot.img(which is the kernel) that is inside the carbon rom zip. Put the carbon rom zip file on your sd card. Then fastboot the boot.img, then switch phone on and enter Cwm by pressing volume down continously when the led is flashing. Now wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Then format system. Now install the carbon rom. Then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot phone and the carbon rom will be installed.

Anyway - thank you once again, beacuse i nearly lost myself when I started to read all the informations! Now it looks nice & easy. :)

EDIT - One more question:

Is it really OK, to wipe data after last step (installing a ROM)? Are you shure it won't "destroy" all installation process? When few years ago I installed ROMs on Samsung Galaxy Spica, i don' remeber wiping data after installing new ROMs.

Hi again,

CarbonKK works flawlessly on my device but the other hand I know I'm testing it still too short to say something more. Even though I've got few questions:

Could someone explain me, why do I have to

format /system

before ROM installation? And do I must to do this everytime I install new custom ROM over another one?

I installed Gapps and the only thing from Google I see in a drawer is Google Play. But I don't have another apps such as Gmail, Calendar, etc.

When I press SETTINGS button on desktop, I can't change launcher settings beacuse nothing happens (except default sound), when i press button on the screen (right bottom corner).

Sometimes my keyboard disappears. Is it normal or it's only my problem? Maybe I could install different keyboard as native one?

Thank you for your help!:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Peppecarto:
1. Don't know, maybe is not needed from kk to kk, but it's a few seconds operation so yes, i do each time

2. It's minimal gapps, so u gotta install others apps from store

3. I didn't tested but i got same problem on previous build, i think it's missing something about launcher

3. Is due to low ram, i solved using performance control app to set minfree value and low ram to true in build. Prop, and also using o keyboard from store!
