i want to use this rom. im currently using existenz.

1. wipe date factory reset

2. mount and storage format /system

3: installing the ROM and then the GAPPS is also

4: CWM-> Power off

5: Flashtool: installed on this C5303_12.1.A.1.205_FW.ftf

6: You must restart the phone again after first boot.

correct me if im wrong regarding sa steps on how to install this rom.

BTW. can use other Gapps? instead the link that you provide on the first page?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:
If you have pHilz recovery go to

Wipe>CLEAN TO INSTALL NEW ROM

then

Flah the ROM and then flash gapps and then factory reset and reboot.

This ROM sleeps like a baby:thumbup:
[Xperia SP Android Development] ongkhel:
after flashing rom and gapps do i need to flash the C5303_12.1.A.1.205_FW.ftf.zip using philz?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deemanthax:
no..

just reboot the system
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jeik:
Boot to TWRP

Install cm11

Factory reset

Install gapps

OPTIONAL(significant speed increase,no need for greenify or any app for performance)

Install Fly-on mod sqlite4.4

Reboot recovery

Install Fly-on alpha5.2

Reboot

I use the Fly-on mod on 4.3 and I dont have lag at all...Thats why I have no reason to go to cm11
[Xperia SP Android Development] MH-Droid:
guys im on stock 205 and wanna install this rom. but installation aborted. tried with philz and cwm touch recoveries. what should i do?

also tried with twarp. says cant extract update binary

tnx
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jeik:
Redownload the zip,and do factory reset AFTER the Cm11 zip is installed,then flash gapps.If you factory reset before flashing,status 7 error appears.

1.Redownload the rom(latest one provided by MrSteve555)

2.Enter TWRP

3.Install cm11-unofficial-XXXXXXXX.zip

4.Factory reset

5.Install gapps for 4.4.4

6.Reboot
[Xperia SP Android Development] MH-Droid:
thanks bro ive downloaded latest one using mega app, i think its broken , ill download again after another try.

with philz formating cache took a lot of time so i rebooted phone using orange button. im unhappy with my sony.

previously i had samsung and everything was easier .. any way thanks;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jeik:
I have a samsung gtab 2,i know what you mean,it has no bootloader crap,can install any rom i want.

But I like SONY for the fact that the development,and rom using is complex as quack :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] ongkhel:
noob question! how to create a folder inside of app drawer? i can easily make a folder in homescreen , however im not able to make it in app drawer.
[Xperia SP Android Development] amir-kia:
please someone give me best camera app with HDR and 16:9 support for this rom .

stock cm11 camera have not 16:9 support only 8mp .
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
On all camera apps (Google Camera,...):

4:3 gives 8mp

16:9 gives always 5.4mp (same Sony 4.3 stock rom)...

HDR works
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:
Hats off to this ROM coming from stock rom

I have to say performance may be equal to it but this feels more snappy plus sleeps like a stable ROM. and mainly amazing battery....

Have to admit that this takes awhile to charge but it totally worth it for the battery's sake.

Forgot to Mention that I installed this mod PurePerformances™X*

May be it why this ROM is flying high.
[Xperia SP Android Development] DanielZRK:
Little question: where is it the immersive mode? I can't find them :( Is related with CM code updates?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Settings -> Display and lights -> Expanded desktop

Then you can enable it with power menu or quick toggle.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
I used CM11 but it became laggy, buggy (freexperia & official)..

Then I used stock 4.3,( good since 205 update)

And I saw this thread and good opinions of this rom. ;)

Then I tested anew CM11 and I'm delighted!

ThanKs for your work! :good:

Hoping one day 2nd mic working and higher recording videos volume ;)

(I tested xposed module for call recording, and same too low volume)
[Xperia SP Android Development] amir-kia:
after one day use this rom compare previous CM11 builds :

Touch problem fix totally and is way better compare stock .207 (no problem on desk and no need to reset like previous builds)

unlink notification and ring volumes problem fix .

only problem for me is that my games (gta sanandreas 1.0.3 and the amazing spider man 1.1.9) not run !!! (on previous build run) after run and first page display black and stay in this state !!!

but other games not problem atall .
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
I am on mister steve 08 24 build and i experience a lot of system ui crashes. Am i the only one or what? I did a clean install so i don't get it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
SystemUI crashes are related to new Theme Chooser. Only CM team can fix it :(.

I'll see what I can do with that.
[Xperia SP Android Development] vwadam:
Try use Ram Manager Pro: Hard Gaming function.
[Xperia SP Android Development] amir-kia:
GTA Sanandreas fix by another apk but spider man 1.1.9 give license error .

also when ringtone play , second replay play faster ... (maybe alsa mixer cause that)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:
No warez please discuss it elsewhere.:cool:
[Xperia SP Android Development] papawil01:
hi, play store won't open. after clickin it, it just closes, no error message. help please thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] vwadam:
license error is your problem,not the rom...all game is runing perfect for me on newest version
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
Bluetooth problem...

I came from 4.3 stock 207 rom, switched to this CM11 (clean install) and I'm delighted!

But bluetooth problem:

My headset is Sony MBH10 (phone and media audio):

When connected screen freezes and after a while phone restarts or reset needed...

(during call, during audio streaming like music or navigation,...)

Perfectly worked with 207 stock rom :crying:

Any reason or solution?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jeik:
Cm11 isnt even stable for devices with Uunlocked bootloader.We must have patience,as these builds still are not stable.

@ MR Steve

Well this is the the best and stable rom as far....

touch working great and multitasking is great...

great work Mr steve...

well m still facing battery drain issue with no apps installed where my battery drains over 12-15% overnight even when i apply airplane mode..

n when connected to wifi and surfing via chrome almost 5% of battery drains over 20mins

i had wiped data, cache, dalvik, and internel storage during flashing via twrp...

steps followed

- wipe data,cache , dalvik

- flash latest cm zip

- flash gapps

-flash 205 stock kernel

-reboot

please help...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Try 207 kernel although that shouldnt make that much difference.

Have you tried using the PA google play services updater to make sure you have the right google play services installed? I know people have had issues with that and battery before.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:
Try pure performance X mod as I lost only 3% overnight with WiFi on.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dr.TheMaster:
I am using 23rd version and I am facing no issues at all.. It's like stock.. No problems.. And when airplane mode is on during night I leave it at 100% and at the morning I still have the 100.. Great deep sleep mode.. By the way I am using 207 kernel (the same kernel with the ROM).. Good job MrSteve..

TFT file?

hey sorry for being a noob, but never done this to an xperia before. i got root and recoveries sticking, but im waiting for the rom to DL and realized i have no idea what to do with that .TFT file. could someone please point me in the direction to get some answers? thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
I use now ProCapture 2 and I'm delighted ;)

What do you guys think about NextCamera?
[Xperia SP Android Development] quiwoon:
gps not working

any1 have issues with the gps, cant seem to get gps updates on google maps
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dr.TheMaster:
Since you have the recoveries you don't need the FTF file.. You just copy the downloaded ZIP to your phone and get into cwm recovery and wipe data, wipe cache, advanced > wipe dalvic, mount and storage > format/system.. Then install zip and choose the ROM zip file then install zip again and choose GApps 4.4.4 file..

In Philz recovery you can skip those first steps with one step Wipe data/factory reset > Clean to install a new ROM.. Then after that install the ROM and GApps files..

Press thanks if I helped :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] MH-Droid:
Next camera??!!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] sambastrakan:
No need to format system, the install script in zip file do it.

And it's a risk if you make some mistake in recovery before installing the rom (example: unwanted tap on reboot before flashing rom zip (and after formatting system) and you will loose some hours : recovery lost, install tft, root, install recoveries ... )
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dr.TheMaster:
Makes sense.. But it's no big deal if recoveries are gone for me.. I flash doomkernel v13 and flash the ROM.. But for LBL you need to flash stock and root it then install recoveries.. Anyway I guess you should not make a single mistake when using recovery...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
BT audio issue

After investigation, I confirm systemUI crash using bluetooth audio:

Freeze, black screen, reboot,...

I tested with my Sony headset MBH10. If BT audio disabled (only call feature enable) all works fine.

(BT audio on stock 207 rom perfectly worked)

I hope the problem can be solved :crying:

[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Guys, new build up.

Look at a post by [MENTION=5314976]uberlaggydarwin[/MENTION] in official CM thread in Original Android section to see what's going on :)

https://mega.co.nz/#!GJoWAJJY!C3YzHHgT0BtAWa-jZ18ozuluHmp7-YSZQRlByeHJ_Ag

Changelog:

- interactive governor tuning(more battery oriented settings)

- speed up boot time commit (doesn't do much, because our SP has slow eMMC memory anyway)

-rear mic fix
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Ooh interesting MrSteve, will these be included in future PA/PAC too?

I'm very tempted to go back to CM now.
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
Going to do a clean instal with factory reset after flashing rom and tell you if systemui crashes. I hope it will not.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Oh does this have the camera fixes etc from PA aswell? Will flash it this afternoon I think.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Yep, I'm going to pull request to pa/pacman branch when the changes are fully tested, so probably yeah.

Yes, it includes the HDR fix.
[Xperia SP Android Development] amir-kia:
MrSteve555 Do you can place your updates on update center for easy update by phone in : setting-about-cyanogrnmode updates ... ?

that not need download all rom only new updates .

touch problem back also and phone touch not work properly after 2 day and by soft reboot touch fix (i think this problem is hardware failure because on stock roms also by glove mode off touch not work properly after 1 day and will not fix atall )
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Sorry, but no, update center fetches official cyanogenmod nightlies(only for UL bootloader).
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
I was wondering if my systemui crashes are connected somehow with my GAPPS package.

Let me explain, i flash Google Apps stock package, wich remove AOSP Launcher, browser,and mms apps.

Could this be the reason ?

By the way, how can i reinstall those cm apps that the GAPPS package removed?

Thanks folks
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
No that shouldnt cause it, I use PA stock gapps and it does the same.
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
I use PA stock gapps too.

By the way after flashing the last build, i can't add a google account.. "Google Play Store can't establish a reliable data connection to server"

Is there a problem with host files?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Try reflashing gapps. Mines fine all over, just switching to ART after odexing, all apps installed and restored data.
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
Should i wipe anything before reflashing gapps? I did a clean install 30minutes ago
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
I wouldnt bother. If that doesn't work remove your google account then re-add it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
I'm reflashing gapps, if it doesn't work i'm going to reflash rom, and in the worst scenario make an other clean install
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Trust me try removing your google account and re-adding it. Ive had similar issues before that this fixed.
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
The problem is that i didn't succeed to add it, i did a clean install, try to add my account, and didn't work. I'm doing another clean instal right away. Hope it works

-Wipe cache partition

-Wipe dalvik cache

-Flash CM11 zip

-Factory reset

-Flash Gapps

-Flash 207 kernel

-Reboot

Am i wrong?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deemanthax:
Philz touch 6

-Wipe data / factory reset > clean to install a new rom

-Flash CM11 zip

-Flash Gapps

-Reboot
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
I did another clean instal using my method, i'm booting now , if it doesn't work i'm trying your method, But when do you flash kernel?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deemanthax:
dont want to flash kernel seperately... it flash with the rom.... its included on the rom.... check on the zip there is a file name boot.img...
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
Thank you a lot bro it worked. I will only use philz from now. And won't flash kernel seperatly either. You made my day.

[MENTION=5579865]MrSteve555[/MENTION]

I saw Uberlaggydarwin mention there was a spelling mistake in the commit for UBL CM11, Is the same mistake in this version or is yours ok?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Yes, but the mistake was only present in Brinly's commit(my fault). However, in my build I used the correct flag in BoardConfig(copied from source), so it works as it should.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Excellent.

I do wish Heads up was more like hover though!

Definitely prefer the options in CM over PA but miss some of the nice UI touches.
[Xperia SP Android Development] issawillwin:
I did a clean install of the last build, Installed a CM11 Theme, and no systemui crashes untill now, i guess i will keep this build untill M10 ( if we get it )
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:

I use now ProCamera 2 and I'm delighted.

Immersive mode, camera button feature, 100% quality picture setting, HDR, panoramic modes... all perfectly works.

and 6Mp with 16/9 size! (5 or 5.4Mp on many apps)

Fast, clean, sober, features, quality, you can test it ;)

Issue

Chromecast mirroring screen feature doesn't works with last update: FC google services (worked before)

But waiting, I find a solution using this app ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Are you sure it's because of the last update? Have you tried clearing the app data?

But it's maybe because there were lots of new commits in the new build, and one maybe broke this.

I'll drop a new build today, expected changelog:

- CM source updates

- dual mic voice recognition (Google Now working just like on stock)

- dual mic stereo recording

- enabled in-call fluence feature(noise cancellation)

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

Hmm, are you talking about turning screen on and off or the actual unlocking?

Could anyone confirm this issue? And maybe describe it a little bit better, because I completely don't understand what's the problem :confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:
Battery life of last two builds combined.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
Precedent release was clean installed with PA 0day Gapps.

I symply flash update (cache & dalvik wipped)

- Bluetooth audio that disn't work, perfectly works anew

- Mirroring perfectly worked and now doesn't without using cited app

You say try clear data. Clear data Google services? (Using mirroring FC google services)
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Yep, clear Google Services data.

Btw, just checked, it probably isn't related to the update.

I'm talking about turning screen on and off. It's really fast for turning off but turning on takes about 1.5 sec. I don't know if stock is faster because i never used stock 205/207.

[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Guys, another update from me. If there aren't any issues, consider it stable, and then I'll finally switch to weekly builds :) Normally I can't build ROMs daily, but I want to give you guys a decent experience with latest CM features :good:

http://d-h.st/4RS

Changelog:

- enabled in-call noise cancellation(Qualcomm Fluence)

- proper audio devices for mono/stereo recording(for stereo recording you can use Audio Recorder app by Sony)

- Google Now and other voice recognition apps use one mic with ASR feature (Automatic Speech Recognition), so now at least it's fully usable.

- latest CM source updates

- switched from Qcom compressed audio to Qcom MM audio(I'm mentioning it only because I remeber it has something to do with Walkman app)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Farooq95:
Minor changes. you ll get marginally better battery life which is obvious as features of that pa ROM are not there.

I'd stick with pa.

[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
It doesn't matter, this will work just fine, stock kernel is flashed during install anyway.

1. Go to recovery

2. Format /system

3. Wipe /data

4. Install ROM, Gapps

5. Reboot

6. Done

It doesn't work, I didn't even implement the support for it. Looks like the person that pushed the commit has done something wrong. If it's not reverted after one day(it's likely to happen as it creates issues on some devices), I'll hopefully add support for our device.

[MENTION=4208907]steve555[/MENTION] actually the prob is i dont have pc.. and now im on stock . 207 kernel(pa rom) can i flash it over . 207 or i can flash cm Williamson v4??

Which way i proceed
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
You have to stick to .207 stock kernel, because Williams kernel V4 is for UBL only CyanogenMod. This version of CM is based on stock kernel, so you can only use stock-based kernels. I recommend using fully stock .207 kernel(it's included in the .zip package, and it's flashed automatiacally in the ROM flashing process, so you shouldn't worry about anything ;)), because I can't test any other kernel.
