the version 20.1.A.2.19 (20.1.B.2.29) is version 4.4.2 and fixed the VPN/Lockscreen bug.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Sony's excuse is because Google does not have any "support" for the chipset

But other phones with MSM8210 chipset has already CM11 and even CM12. (For example Moto E)

Purposely making the phone not compatible with custom ROMs is not funny.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Is this normal? :D :p

I don't use swap, nothing...
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
I wish that could happen to me too. I'm like ~100-150MB free all the time...
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I didn't do anything.

I Just leave phone alone for 12 -24h on stamina, then i look at memory and wow :)

And memory stays between 346 - 284 free..
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
What firmware are you using?
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
If this is what you ask:

8X10-BAAAANWZQ-104060-31

20.1.A.2.13

But , it seems that this is bug.

Today when i woke up, and check my memory i see negative numbers, it shows like this: -1295265951... 562mb

After i restart phone, it shows normal values: 324mb 100 free

Could this be because stamina turn's off some sistem process related to memory?

It happen's earlier too(with this negative numbers), but i didn't pay attention..
[Sony Xperia E1] Mar4e:
Finally some good news, the latest firmware 20.1.A.2.19 can be easily rooted with Root Genius :D
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
I was old school, I flash the .47 kernel with xperia flasher while I used fastboot to flash the .47 boot.img on another device. I simply used towel root then used fastboot to flash the new 20.1.A.2.19 boot.img on both devices. I installed supersu pro v2.01 as I find it runs faster on the E1 hardware, then busybox v1.23.2 stericson.

Then I purged some bloatware to help speed the rom up, while adding the Z3 unlock screen, clock widgets and live wallpapers.
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
I did the same to root my wife's E1 D2114, except that I flashed the 20.1.B.0.65 kernel in flashmode, since its bootloader is locked. Rooted with towelroot, then flashed the 20.1.B.2.30 back, again in flashmode, and installed and ran SuperSU from the Play Store.
[Sony Xperia E1] yahiaas:
Can any one confirm if asphalt 8 run in last update smoothly or what ?
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
How responsive are you finding the current version of supersu v2.46 from the play store?
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
It seems to behave just like when it was unrooted. The latest firmware is pretty much faster than the previous one.
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
Yes agreed and I have found the battery life is better too. Unless my power saving apps work better for this build!
[Sony Xperia E1] G15C:
Here is a bended Xperia E1. Rest in peace
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:

[Sony Xperia E1] G15C:
Got over it with a car
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
it was accident or you did it on purpose?
[Sony Xperia E1] G15C:
Accident, i was crosing besides my car and the phone got out of my pocket and landed in front of the front left wheel, i have the S6 and E4 so no worry, kept the phone for work calls
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Confirmed a mystery

After re-installing my phone from stratch, installed everything, SuperSU, Greenify, root tools...

But NOT logging into my G-mail (Google Play) is a good idea, it reduced my battery drain, and my phone feels smooth
[Sony Xperia E1] 7Zero3:
Have you reflashed your device or have you only done a factory reset?
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:

Thank you, i was reflash new rom on locked bootloader(i didn't know is this possible or not [someone says it's not] ), it was pain for me who didn't know so much about android system to find and learn how to do that, but everything's go fine, and work's now. I find my stock Rom trough xperifirm.

Every tutorial i find related to this, for ''sony experia e1'' is without realy good instruction's, there should be better guide for people who doing this for first time.... Now i just need to root, and debloat Rom. Thank you...

Also how to install recovery, and which recovery to install, then how to use this recovery?

There is no enough information's about that..

Can someone help?

I installed this Philz Touch recovery for ''locked bootloader'' from here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e1/development/tutorial-root-install-recovery-xperia-t3083024

What can i do with this?

Is there some limitations?

I need help how to make recovery, in case if something goes wrong to be able to revert and use the old software...
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Thanks for what? :D Everyone knows where is the Recovery located
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Ok, can you help?

I know you can, you made tutorial for this..

I have a few simple questions that i need answer:

-is there some limitations for this recovery on locked bootloader? And if so, what limitations?

-Can i still flash my stock firmware(ftf file) trough "flash tool", to un-root the phone if i need this?

-If i flash ftf file, will this delete Philz Touch recovery?
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
1. There are no limitations on locked bootloader, expect when you flash a new ROM you have to redo everything

2. You can.

3. Yes.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
This is all i need to know. Thank you! :)
[Sony Xperia E1] Fobos531:
Hello guys,

just wanted to say that I've successfully rooted my D2005 running 20.1.A.2.19 firmware using the KingRoot method. I also checked with Root Checker and root access is properly installed. You can use this method so you don't have to mess around with Flashtool :)
[Sony Xperia E1] daktary:
hello, to uninstall kingo use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro

it installs supersu after
[Sony Xperia E1] Fobos531:
Thanks, I have already seen that, but I think that its just fine with KingRoot as well.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
There is a way without KingoRoot

If you have unlocked bootloader then It will be easy. If someone of you didn't know, PhilZ recovery has the ability to root any ROM easily

Advanced -> SuperSU | root

Well If you have Locked bootloader, that is another story..
[Sony Xperia E1] jrm1213:
But I thought Philz needed root before its install. No?
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
It needs root for LB, for UB, you just flash the kernel in Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
It does not require root to flash PhilZ

Only unlocked Bootloader is the requirement. (Things like flashing kernel does not require rooting, but requires unlocked BL)
[Sony Xperia E1] jrm1213:
Thanks xezrunner: It needs root for LB, for UB, you just flash the kernel in Flashtool.

Thanks Kizoky: It does not require root to flash PhilZ Only unlocked Bootloader is the requirement. (Things like flashing kernel does not require rooting, but requires unlocked BL)

To recap: With my UB (unlocked bootloader) I could first flash kernel with Philz; then root from inside Philz.

Nice shortcut to know.
[Sony Xperia E1] Fobos531:
[MENTION=5903579]Kizoky[/MENTION] , I'm talking about KingRoot, not KingoRoot. And yes, bootloader on my E1 isn't unlockable so I find this method very good.
[Sony Xperia E1] Fobos531:
If I'm in Croatia, can I flash firmware other than the one of my carrier? Will I be able to use my phone carrier-wise normally?
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
You should be able to, but if your carrier has 3G and the one you're flashing has not, then you won't be able to get 3G, only 2G.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Is sony experia e1 stock rom zipaligned, and if not, is possible to make zipaligned rom?

[Sony Xperia E1] ako9:
guys i have the latest version installed on my xperia e1,how i can root?previously i have rooted with towelroot but with update i have losed the root permissions
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
You'll have to flash an old kernel (dated before June 2014), using Flashtool, in flashmode. Then, install and run towelroot. Once root access is obtained, flash your current ROM's kennel back, again in flashmode.
[Sony Xperia E1] ako9:
only kernel?i flash old kernel,root and flash teh latest kernel and going?
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Exactly.

OR: If you have an unlocked bootloader, you could also just flash CWM Recovery then just root it using that. The method above is safer though. Do NOT unlock your bootloader unless you know what you're doing.
[Sony Xperia E1] ako9:
i have the bootoader locked,how i can unlock?
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Just download RootGenius to your PC, enable usb debugging on your phone in developer options, plug it to the pc and you can root it with one click. ;)

[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
Yes, just select flashmode.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Just do not.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
If you still have warranty for your phone, I suggest NOT doing it. Many providers will refuse to fix your phone (or they will ask for extra cost for the damage, and from the cost you can buy a better phone than E1), even If it isn't your fault at all. You'll have to send your phone to Sony and they will fix it, but It would usually take weeks when you get back your mobile

If your phone is force-locked (You can't unlock your bl) then you are doing the impossible.
[Sony Xperia E1] Jole7:
[MENTION=4240105]werty100[/MENTION] can you please make an update of your kernel? i'm still using it with the newest firmware.

It's very fast!!!!
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Its maybe a stupid question but I have to ask: if I install a custom ROM with recovery which has the stock kernel, can I than flash back the original software?
[Sony Xperia E1] Jole7:
You can go back to original software with flashtool the problem is that there aren't custom roms for this phone.
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Cool, thank you :D Well I just want to try the KillaMade ROM.
[Sony Xperia E1] Jole7:
If you know any custom rom please share it i'm interested to try.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I tested a ported CM ROM for E1, I don't know If I can share it here as It is only available in a certain E1 group

What's working:

-Sound (Games, music, etc.. everything working)

-Wi-Fi (WiFi works now)

-Leds (Illumination bar bugs out when you have a notification)

Needs fix:

-Bluetooth

-GPS (for calling)

-Illumination bar bugs out

-Walkman button

-Various Android bugs

So, who said we can't have Cyanogenmod? Yes, we can't build, but we can edit other ROMs
[Sony Xperia E1] Jole7:
Wooah that's great man thank you!!!!! i'm interesting to try it can you pm me the link please???
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Wow, finally :D Share it please! Is the calling working? I mean can you hear each other?
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
There is no calling or anything SIM-related stuff working in it yet.
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Oh :/ And when will it work? Or I shouldn't ask things like this? :D
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
It really just depends on the developer(s). It will eventually get fixed, like WiFi.
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Nice, I'm waiting :) And is it CM11 or 12?

[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Does someone experiencing memory leak in sony experia e1? What i noticed is if i use phone 2days without restart my phone memory is full, i also have sometimes negative value like: -320 in ram. I have 100 aps, but they dont work in background, i use greenify to stop them. When i start phone, memory is normal, 170mb free, after 2days memory is 70mb, but only 3 apps is running. I cant do nothing to incrase ram. This is not normal. And i have problem that phone is slow or it stops responding, when this memory leak ocure.

I was try everithing, only restart helps to solve this problem...
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Try reinstall the firmware.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Yes, that does happen with me too, and it's soo annoying. I restart the phone every 2/3 days to get it working normally again. This phone is "dead" at Sony, they don't care about it, they don't really support it anymore.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
What we can do? I even don't have bloatwares, i have running only phonebook, messages, all others sony's apps are stopped. So i don't know what this can be, is this problem with sony? I was reinstall my firmware 3-4 times by now, every time this problem came back. Can this be kernel or something?
[Sony Xperia E1] 7Zero3:
I'm using the German firmware for my E1 and I don't have the problem. And using various xposed modules. But I have random restarts when my phone running for 3 days or more and I'm installing apps .

Sorry for my bad English - I'm from Germany
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
It seems to be a core part of the system that seems to take up more and more RAM over time.
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
After trying a few build.prop tweak I managed to have 160 MB free RAM, not bad :D
[Sony Xperia E1] t-driver:
well, why don't you tell us the tweaks?
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Delete Google Services

It is buggy on E1
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Or just edit the dalvik.vm.heapsize to 64m in build.prop, thats how I reached 160 MB free RAM. But it has to be said I stopped everything unnecessary app like Camera, Effects,Walkman, and Google Play Services. When all of this are running I have a stable 100 MB free, but due to E1's ****ty RAM management the phone has to be restarted after a couple of days.

[MENTION=5903579]Kizoky[/MENTION]: If I delete Google Play Services, can I still use Gmail as I used it with it?
[Sony Xperia E1] rootdefyxt320:
Just flash the latest Android 4.4 nano gapps on opengapps.org This will fix the issues with Google Play Services.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Maybe i did something wrong or you can't edit dalvik.vm.heapsize to 64m (default is 128m), when i do this and save file(with right permissions), and restart i have bootloop..
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
And whitch one do I need, ARM or x86?

Download Build Prop Editor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=hu
[Sony Xperia E1] rootdefyxt320:
[MENTION=6274985]Zsenyka[/MENTION] You will need ARM nano or pico gapps. Not x86 or ARM64 gapps.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I edit wrong heap size :)

Ok, now i did and it seems that some larger apps work faster and somoother, but memory is same..

What exactly this tweak do?

Earlier i have problem with UC Browser, now it work just fine :)
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Just flash the zip and thats all? No need to clean cache or something?

It optimaseses something with the RAM don't know so much about it, just read it in a build.prop tweaks thread.
[Sony Xperia E1] rootdefyxt320:
Yep, just flash the zip in Philz Recovery and clean cache and dalvik-cache.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I was set this to 72 and it is so fast.

I wonder, how much this number can be increased?

As i understood, this sets intiall memory for aplication to start.

Some apps require more memory on start, and to work properly, this helps.

36 is default (this is not enough), 72 is great, what will happen if i set to 100?
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
I think it depends on how much memory your apps need, if you play games for example you can set it higher. I only use it for internet,calling and reading so mine is fine with 64.

Set it to 100 and you will se :D I dont know
[Sony Xperia E1] daktary:
Hello,

i edited the file but only see one dalvik.vm.heapsize in the file (your picture show 2 files, one with 64m and one with 128m) . Mine was set on 128m. I introduced 64m, and after restart, the phone don't start (stay on blue animation).

What did I wrong and how to solve it?

Thanks

ok: solved: I had also two dalvik.vm.heapsize files, one with 36m and one with 128m. I increased the first to 64m and phone works now. Thx
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I somehow managed to have 200mb free ram. What happens is that xperia keyboard use 40mb ram. Android newer clear that ram, you can't kill or stop that process.

So only solution is to install another keyboard with low memory usage. In my case i was install mizo keyboard from play store, and it use only 6mb of ram.

[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
You should decrease Dalvik too

It increased my performance compared to the default one
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
How to do this?

I always delete dalvik cache once in the week..

I set Dalvik VM Heapsize at 72, this probably use more memory but phone works faster..

Someone say that this should be decreased to 16, to prevent an application from obtaining more memory than it needs, by forcing it to garbage collect sooner(also use more cpu), default is 36.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Well I set it to 86, what happens is the phone becomes laggy when you do not use it for a long time, but that lagginess is gone after I use it for a while. Don't know what's happening. (I set it to 12mb before, and the phone did not become laggy over time, but it was noticably slower than before)
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
So if i try 16 phone will boot?

I afraid to do that, because if i finish in bootloop, then i must install all apps again since all my apps are on sd card.

I think that phone is not laggy because you set it to 86.

What i notice is that if i don't use phone for a long time(about 5hours) ram is 200 , then i leave phone for 5 hours again, ram is 270... at the end you will have negative value like -150 in ram..

Phone then becomes laggy, and you must restart..

Again if you use phone , memory will drop at 100, 80.. then you must restart..

So this is some memory leak, i cant find what cause this..

None of my apps doesn't use too much ram, so i don't know what happens. I set my phone to restart itself every day at 7am, this helps...
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
The negative RAM value is mostly caused by different firmwares

Have you tried Illuminated ROM?
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
You'll get a bootloop IF you edit the wrong value. There are 2 entries for the memory size. You want to edit the one that's defaulted to 36, not the other one with 128mb.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
No i didn't, can i install this on locked bootloader?

I have philz touch recovery...

Yes.. I just want to be sure that 16 is enough for this phone.

But since you set it to 12, and phone boot, then i can try 16.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Yes, you can.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
So i just need to Wipe cache,Wipe dalvik cache, and click install, that's all?

Did you try this on locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Excatly. I have locked bootloader and could install it. Also installed XperiAOSP, KillaMade, they all work with LB.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Great, thank you :)

EDIT:

I installed Illuminated rom, and i don't like it :) , there's some problems with launcher..

Does someone have Jelly Bean stock rom, or clean 2.1.A.2.19?

Wanna try both.. I'm still on 2.1.A.2.13, there's nothing for my country yet..
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Can someone ask Sony to upload source files for 20.1.A.2.19?
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
After some investigating i think that problem is in lock screen, on 20.1.A2.13 they broke password, pin etc..

So when you lock screen , after some time it takes more and more ram, you cant see this in process..

You must restart phone..

Can someone confirm that?

I want to flash new firmware, 20.1.A.2.19 ver, does someone have zip, so that i can flash via recovery?

Can i flash firmware from different operator?
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Actually, they broke the lockscreen on the first KitKat build, which was 20.1.A.0.45 or something similiar, and they fixed it on 2.19, but we have that RAM problem since the first KitKat build.. JB didn't have any memory leaks, but the phone crashes when the RAM gets full. On KK, it's handled better if the RAM gets full, the device just freezes if the RAM is full and no longer reboots, but it's still better than on JB.

I will try and use the phone without the Xperia Lockscreen (if you meant that), and I'll post the results here.

If you meant the actual core Android lockscreen, I'd doubt it, as they didn't really modify that.

You can use XperiFirm to find any stock firmware you want for Xperia devices, and it also converts the downloaded firmware into an .ftf file after downloading.

EDIT: Oh, you asked for a .zip...
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
E1 is a low end phone, plus it had a brand new chipset at that time

JB was not rushed, but if you think about it, JB had less bugs than KK now

KK is rushed, it only took Sony to release 3-4 firmwares to fix the Lock screen settings
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
So you just need to delete/rename lockscreen apk? I'l try to use phone without that..

I asked for zip, it's easier to flash it from recovery, and i dont remember exactly how i make my ftf earlier :) ..
