I've had problems keeping a GPS lock in FXP and ResurrectionRemix CM11.

Sometimes it loses lock while driving which happened less when I was on official 4.3.

Maybe it's a case where we need to tweak some details in gps.conf file?

[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Lock looses and can't back again until you off/on GPS?

This is common bug in any firmware, stock or custom.

Check this thread for info and fix.
[Sony Xperia M] BlackArtsInc:
No.I mean it sometimes looses lock and gets it back after 5-10 seconds,which didn't happen on official 4.3.

More of an annoyance than a bug really.

Thanks for the link.I'll check it out!

Today I've tried to record my road to school, guess what: my record is as bad as last one that I've done on 4.1. Empty sapces, not accurate att all. All bugs are just hardware related :( Thank you sony for perfect gps my old xperia x8 was much more accurate than this phone xD.

[MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION]

So, after those few days of using I can do a bug list. I hope it contains all issues:

- no mobile network settings, phone force closes while trying to open them, log cat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjn1xb9iyq3nato/2.txt

- mobile data uses only 3G, no hpsda or hpsda+ mode, log cat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qlfgc7oszrfku6v/3.txt

- strange problem with media volume. Just after boot everything is fine but after some time ths bug appers. When you changing media volume (only media, rigngtone or alarm works fine) this bar with volume level appears but it's not updating and you can't change volume with touch. After reboot everything is fine but it appears again. Altrough volume is changing. log cat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1btctyxjbczgtvb/4.txt

- with some hours layout bug appears on notification drawer:

(I know that it is very minor issue but I want to report everything xD)

To be confirmed:

- phone is hotter than on stock? (I'm not sure but I know that you shouldn't use patch for cm, it isn't working. Now I'm trying stock files from this rom) results of my test: so phone is heating to about 56 Celsius degrees on cpu with some harder use like long browsing the web or playing games but only in hot environment. Seems to be pretty hot but my galaxy tab 2 (despite it has two old a9 cores with older process) gets exactly the same values. Maybe it's not an issue, phone never gets more and it's working stable. It's only lite bit uncomfortable to hold :D With cm patch the only difference is in logcats: with patch device is constantly informing about turning on and off cores while with stock files it is not reporting (although hotplug works).

- some apps has problems with led, flases with two different colors in the same flash (for example: sms app, flashes with red and blue maybe it sould look like that but it is strange for me)

Just informations for users:

- since this is pure aosp build (even more aosp than on nexus xD) some apps are just unfinished (camera app, launcher) so it's better to find some alternative apps

- if you need sms app that will send messages without unicodes you can use cm sms app

For me this rom is just perfect, I won't visit my recovery before update of this rom :D
[Sony Xperia M] StraightEdgeKid:

[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
I've updated my list with my thoughts about temperature of device. [MENTION=5037002]Bonoboo[/MENTION] are you using cm right now? Can you tell me what temperatures you get (you can check it in trickster for example)? Thanks

[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Yep, FXP323 with patch.

It's depends from ambient temperature.

At hot day in use was 50-55, up to 60

Now warm and in use 40-45, up to 50
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:

But I'm not sure about one thing: do I need to flash new 4.3 firmware or I can flash it on old 4.3 firmware base?

[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
For beta1 users:

If you wan't to update rom better change your recovery. I've tried to use twrp from beta1 but without succes. When I've used cwm everything was fine.

[MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION] when I was trying to report you that is "network settings issue" is still there I've found real reason of this bug. They are not working but only with some languages. When I'm using Polish (my native language) settings aren't working but when I change language to English everything is fine.

Oh and I've just tested twrp from beta 2. Unfortunately no difference. It can't flash rom and it takes really long while to wipe. With CWM everything is fine.
[Sony Xperia M] PecanCM:
there is no problem with twrp both old and new can flash rom without any problem and wipe doesn't take long time.

[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
I wondered if anyone had that issue. Wiping takes a long time for me on CWM on both FreeXperia and on the other ROMs found here. At first, AOSP didn't flash (later realised that system wasn't mounted; I usually don't mount it as the updater-script usually takes care of that) and wiping took some time. Then, the next time I tried wiping and flashing, it worked perfectly well.

And I still have this problem. Media Storage doesn't get updated and clearing data, rebooting and then waiting a while also doesn't help. I have checked for .nomedia files already, and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have had this weird bug almost since FXP320 and on the other ROMs built before May 18th. The media database updating using an app doesn't help either. Any clues or solutions?

And the weird thing seems to be that the files downloaded after flashing the ROM seem to show up in the Gallery. The same goes for photos taken after flashing the ROM. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see the local folders on either the Gallery app or the Google+ Photos app. I can just see the ones that auto-backed up (that's pretty obvious though).

One last bug is that upon connecting the phone in MTP mode, the sdcard shows less than half the files present on it. See image attached below.
[Sony Xperia M] BlackArtsInc:
So far I m using Ressurection Remix ROM without any problems but development stopped unexpectedly.

Can I flash it and just restore via Titanium Backup all my 4.4.2 apps or is there incompatibility with android 4.4.3?

Is this ROM stable enough for everyday use according to those who have tried it?

N.
[Sony Xperia M] BlackArtsInc:
How can I use "nandroid manager to auto restore all apps"? You mean CWM has such an option? Advance restore can do this?

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

[MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION]

I'm not sure this is do-able but I ve seen it in other ROMs.Maybe you can include said cm backup script so we can avoid

deleting the apps we dont want and restoring our apps everytime we update the ROM please? Its so time confusing really.

N.
[Sony Xperia M] BlackArtsInc:
Thanks man! I was under the impression that you were talking about CWM.

Well, I installed the ROM along with my apps just fine but for the life of me I cannot restore my contacts. Gmail sync seems to work OK

but no contacts get restored. And yes I tried rebooting and checked "Show all contacts" in People app. Still nothing...any tips?

EDIT

This one was fixed after clearing data of Google Sync apps and rebooting.

Now a new problem.Location doesnt seem to work ok.

Apps like 4SQ keep telling me to turn on location which is ON already.

Any ideas anyone?

For sync you just need to wait and try few times. In my case that helped. No problems with location too.

As for location,I really have no idea why it happened but it did.

It happens some time with stock official 4.3 firmware also... May be Server side sync problem...
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
I'had this bug only right after first bot. When it sync properly for first time, it will work without issues (at least for me). Anyway I think that it is more gapps related.

BTW I'm using minmal gapps form: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857

[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
*almost no bugs

Rom is really nice but still need some polishing:

- rom uses only 3g data mode :/ or I'm doing something wrong

- network settinsg aren't working in some languages

And I've found something new:

- usb storege isn't wotking. Today I've pluged my pendrive and something strange happened. There were notification that storage is broken so I've decided to wipe it through notification. Unfortunately It has wiped my sd instead :/
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
On AOSP, 3G is equivalent to "HSDPA+" on CM and on stock.
[Sony Xperia M] Kuato:
waiting new updates :D
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
I found new issue?

In beta 1 relase I had strange issue with media volume. In beta 2 it's fixed but not there is new bug that appears after some time. After few days from boot I can't acces my power menu. Holding power button just turns off the screen. I can't make screenshot too. After reboot everything is fine but bug appears again :/

Phone is sometimes hard to wake too (I must press power button twice)

update:

This morning my power menu get back, it's very strange bug. Sadly I haven't got root acces xD so I can't make logcat.
[Sony Xperia M] tyus2:
Is this ROM dead? No 4.4.4 update?
[Sony Xperia M] Crs-:

Hi bro, please, update the ROM to 4.4.4 and add OverClock in the ROM!!!!

.

I need OverClock, and this ROM is my favourite :(
[Sony Xperia M] PecanCM:
not dead just i was busy in others and can someone give me list of all languages that not working for network settings ?
[Sony Xperia M] PecanCM:
Fixed this crash for almost all languages.
[Sony Xperia M] bluepinkpanther:
I know it's aosp based but why should I use this ROM instead od cm for example? Any advantages?
[Sony Xperia M] tyus2:
AOSP = Stock Android experience. More Nexus type. No customisations at all!
[Sony Xperia M] bluepinkpanther:
I know what aosp means. I'm just asking if this rom is faster etc
[Sony Xperia M] Kuato:
just try it dude, and don't compare it

Make a CWM backup, try ROM, keep if you like it, else restore.

[Sony Xperia M] PecanCM:
can someone confirm about Sounds glitches in caf/aosp ?
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
For me (google music + stock eq) no issues at all. Very rare lags but really rare and I had something like that on 4.3 stock too. Oh maybe this is issue but I'm not sure: while headphones are pluged in, ringtone is played from headphones and speaker at the same time but ringtone isn't loud or something, it's sounds normally so I'm not sure is this bug (for me it seems to be preatty helpful because when I'll forget to unplug my headphones I won't miss calls ;) ).

If you need any specyfic test, tell me and I'll send you report.

But there is still that bug with dissapering power menu, sorry but I can't make logcat (this rom is so great that I don't need root anymore :D )
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
Time for little bug report:

So basicly I've got only 2 bugs in this rom in everyday use. Those are little but pretty strange bugs. They shows randomly after some time from boot:

1. Bug with volume rocker.

It was hard to describe for me (my English isn't the best) so I made a video:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/oln4vk0fsmb2lue/VID_20140721_101445.3gp

2. Bug with power menu.

When it shows I can't enable power menu. Holding power button just turning off screen.

Both bugs dissapears after reboot but they are back after some time (ussualy few days). I haven't seen them both at the same time yet.

I've tried clean flash (with full wipe + wipe system) but those bugs always coming back.

p.s.

one more thing: phone is hard to wake sometimes
[Sony Xperia M] boy_ice1987:
Hi everybody, after a while installed this rom, it work so fast and stable but i have a problem with Toggle. I cant change any thing else and sometime, the toggle disappear and I must restart phone for have toggle again. How to fix this? Thanks all :D

[Sony Xperia M] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
This is the second 4.4.4 ROM that I have problems with (the first being port of AOKP).

The problem, quite radical, which renders these 4.4.4 ROMs unusable is that the phone after some time cannot be brought back from sleep. Power button is dead. Volume rocker as well (AOKP had option of waking the phone up with volume keys).

My firmware is 15.4.A.1.9. People had similar problems with AOKP and it was suggested that they change I/O scheduler to noop and governor to interactive, but that didn't help in my case. The phone still drops into coma after some time and the only way to wake it up is to remove the battery.

I've been battling this for two days now. Does anyone have any ideas on why is that happening?
[Sony Xperia M] prppedro:
When I tried to install FXP329 for the first time, I had the same problem. It would fall asleep forever until I took off the batteries and turned it on.

One XDA colleague, which the name I can't remember, said me to just reflash it. Well, I always used to think "The one which knows fix it, the one who doesn't press format" when it comes to x86 plataform. However, because I'm reasonably new when it comes to that little ARM devices, I've choose to wipe and reflash. And it worked flawlessly, then. Later, I had problems with the launcher, but it's what custom ROMs are about: sometimes you can't expect it to be stable, altough it tends to be so almost all the time.

Well, this is it... Try to reflash it. May be with another ROM. See if it works...

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
In my case I can always wake up my phone. Sometimes it's hard to wake but all I have to do is press power button twice or three times and it works. I'm using this rom since beta 1. Maybe your problem is caused by wrong base firmware, I'm using older, first 4.3 relase and it's fine so maybe try this.
[Sony Xperia M] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
Thanks guys, I've already tried refreshing it several times (with wiping though), and every 4.4.4 I've tried brings up the same issue. Doesn't matter how many times I try pressing the power button, it's not working. It's not even working when I plug it into the charger nor flashing program on my computer.

I dropped the idea of having 4.4.4 and went for the stock 4.3 with Xposed.
[Sony Xperia M] lxender:
Well. That the risk of custom rom. If you expect it would be like official firmware. U better back off. Stay on official. Learning to solve problem is easy. Any latest sources of 4.4.4 no longer have that sleep issues for me anyway.
[Sony Xperia M] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
Well, I was into custom ROMs for many years, but ever since I started using Xposed and GravityBox, I prefer them that way. My N5 is running stock + Xposed with gravity box and I find myself to be much happier than with any custom ROM. With XM I also went that way, the only thing I dislike are those hideous Xperia ROM marks, yucky little toggles area, silly settings, bunch of bloatware which needed to be removed.
[Sony Xperia M] manoj36:
Will it support xperia M dual
[Sony Xperia M] PecanCM:
CAF support dual sim, run setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds from terminal or adb shell then reboot phone and check.
[Sony Xperia M] manoj36:
Instead manual doing is thr any flashable zip which makes it easy for me to work with dual sim.. If thr please provide me..
[Sony Xperia M] PecanCM:
dude try manual 1st. if everything works perfectly on dual sim i will release unified AOSP/CAF build as beta 4.
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
TWRP updated to 2.8 version (with MTP support), hope it will be in next Beta.

Just a note, maybe it requires additional porting.
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
So are you going to update this rom?? AOSP is my love XD but sadly I had to install cm. There are some critical errors with ril in this rom: sometimes my phone was losing signal and it couldn't reconnect until reboot. I was using this rom for long time (from first relase to now) and I had this issue for about 4-7 times maybe more but it's preatty rare.
[Sony Xperia M] manoj36:
A good news for all XMD users..

It worked on my XMD with both sims enabled...instead manual setting I flashed unified zip of cm11 then I got network in both the sims..

edit: this was something for fun and not going to inlcude 1080p decoding support in cm11, our resolution is small and you want to play 1080p.
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
This means i need to switch to AOSP....... Could you please open source the stuff about 1080p so that i can at least incorporate this feature in my local CM builds?
