What abt kitkat? When we ll get archidroid 3.0?
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
No ETA.
[Sony Xperia M] shifter7:
First thanks for making this rom!

I've been using it for some time now and it's a good daily driver.

Just got one question, as I could not find any answer in this thread, or somewhere else regarding this.

Does the device encryption work?

Been trying now for 3 days and still nothing.

It can't unmount /data,

E/Cryptfs ( 1959): unmounting /data failed

E/Cryptfs ( 1959): Error enabling encryption after framework is shutdown, no data changed, restarting system

and I can not get into safe mode, it just keeps looping something after

I/EntropyMixer( 3551): Writing entropy...

D/ConnectivityService( 3551): Sampling interval elapsed, updating statistics ..

D/ConnectivityService( 3551): Done.

I even tried to re-partition /data, but then ArchiDroid won't boot at all, which led me to reflash it, which restored the partition size.

I'm on ArchiDroid 2.5.3, ArchiKernel, no 3p apps.

Don't know if this is a bug, just thought you should know, and any help is appreciated.

(btw, if this is the wrong place to post, please move or let me know)
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
This should be fixed in upcoming 3.X release.

Speaking of 3.X, it's finished, but I'm trying to fix one more nasty bug in TWRP causing crash while making a backup. ATM backup function is completely broken, it works in 2.5.3.

Trying it out.
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
One additional note, make sure that you have recent and stable recovery when you flash this build.

If you're unsure, you can update your recovery prior to flashing ArchiDroid right in the AROMA wizard, just select "recovery" when asked for preset. This will flash kernel + recovery combo (boot.img) only.

New kernel may not boot with your current ROM, but you should know that already.

ArchiDroid includes latest self-compiled one hour ago TWRP 2.8.3.0.

Also, I suggest to NOT flash any third-party kernels. If you need OC, ArchiKernel option, which is default kernel chosen by ArchiDroid, already includes that. If you don't want to use OC, I suggest to stay with stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia M] manoj36:
No logs change?? Does it support dual sim??

Hey Archi

I want to try out your ROM. Currently on CM12 which is very unstable so far.

However, could you please tell me if this version supports the app2sd function? Apologies if you've already answered this elsewhere as I couldn't find any post.

flashing

Hi, I'm currently on Archi v2.5.3, can I flash v3 on it without wiping etc. ? I don't want to lose my apps.
[Sony Xperia M] ramprasad5394:
Play Services FC

you can. that is what i did. but a clean wipe install is always recommended..

and Google Play Services FCs.

EDIT:tried a clean install, still FC is present.

here is the logcat. it says "Audio Service : Media server died"
[Sony Xperia M] sgyd12:
Done...

Great...

Working Perfectly...

But Battery drain very faster and GApps Stop Working...

And how to activate Swap Partition??

Thanks before...

Looks like global issue.
[Sony Xperia M] ramprasad5394:
don't know the exact source..

but disabling android device manager and cyaonogen mod in device administrators helped in reduce pop ups I guess.
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
Don't know either. I've been trying to fix it last 2 days being nearly sure it's caused by my sources.

But no, it's caused also on clean CM11/CM12 with PA GAPPS.

So, whatever is broken, it's not AD-specific issue.

When delete some apps stuck at logo/bootanimation..

Ex: google search, hangout
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
Maybe you're deleting them in wrong way. I'm installing without hangouts and everything works correctly. Also, google search is dependency on many other packages, e.g. Google Launcher, so don't remove it unless you want to also remove all packages that depend on that.
[Sony Xperia M] Arturiuz!:
i'm on the process of d'loading the ROM & already excited!yay!thanx [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

for gapps crashing/fc's,i have 1 suggestion,if i may..

1. Launch terminal emulator.

2. Type su and press Enter

3. Give root rights

4. Paste this text:

pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.droidguard.DroidGuardService

5. Press Enter

6. Crashing must stop

..exactly what i did(even the context from another forum is even copied,really sorry about that ?.but it worked & no more crashing/fc's.big thanks to that guy!)
[Sony Xperia M] ramprasad5394:
screen on time of 3 hours.. everything is perfect in this ROM :beer:
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
After Lollipop will get a little more stable, you can expect also LP ArchiDroid in near future.

ATM I already have some experimental versions, but TWRP doesn't work out of the box, and SELinux context is missing.
[Sony Xperia M] ramprasad5394:
ART is the only thing that concerns me in lollipop.. does not let me install many apps, even if i do, it slows down performance significantly. The smoothness is lost with low internal memory. Kitkat is just perfect for now :)
[Sony Xperia M] itsnie:
How to mount it?
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
Reboot to recovery, delete /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/debian folder. Then reinstall through ArchiDroid app.

You probably had older installation and ran into some kind of conflict.
[Sony Xperia M] PrismereKnight:
Good ROM.
[Sony Xperia M] itsnie:
Still same, always error ..

Bdw, thangs for repply :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
I'll check your issue later today.
[Sony Xperia M] Arturiuz!:
after sometime now for half a day since installed the ROM,i could only say,"WOW"!just the one i was looking to have prior to LP with Xposed installed & everything on CM11 4.4.4KK
[Sony Xperia M] mankokoma:
Hi JustArchi, thanks you so much for the hard work and this amazing ROM you made for us!

After trying it for a while I'm really really glad!

In the beginning there was battery draining - (of course long screen-on time, so maybe not a very objective point of view) but:

- Set the maximum Freq. down to 1242000 MHz with OS Monitor, because it can handle both cores of the CPU while Settings->Performance->Processor seems only to affect one core (?). If there's an easier solution, I would appreciate help/ideas, because have to do it every reboot.

However I'm not really sure if it helps with the battery though, but anyways I think that too much OC is not good for the device (and I'm used to single core ARMv6 with 600MHz, so 1GHz dual cored is veeeeery fast to me) :D

- Set in Settings->Privacy->Privacy Guard->(menu:tick "Show built-in apps")->long-tick "google play service" (& same with "google play store")->set "location", "Wake up" & "Keep awake" to Denied. (beside this the "bla stopped working bla" thing doesn't show up so often anymore)

- Untick in Settings->Display&Lights->"Prevent accidental wake-up" (at least I don't see a reason for this option and it keeps the proximity sensor awake all the time)

After signing in to google playstore, it immediately (unasked :( ) did an update of Terminal Emulator... I'm not sure if you fixed, what you commented in GITHUB but maybe that could explain the Problem of Itsnie with the linux debian installation? I didn't try yet.

For now last question is, how do you handle the update of ..../spinners/_HOSTS/MoAB o. /AdAway files? I wanna know, because sometimes I have to change the hosts file for different LAN-locations - I do this per script and I'm not sure what/how files to handle - changing MoAB lasts very long because it's so huge and I like the idea of (b)locked /etc/hosts...
[Sony Xperia M] ghasemi.hussein:
woow

hi there, finally archidroid 3. cant waiting for a try.

thanks [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
If you don't know how something works, you should check the sources yourself, ArchiDroid is open-source ;).

Basically, changing hosts in archidroid app could be translated to:

Notice that ArchiDroid doesn't touch /system/etc/hosts at all, unless you intentionally shut down ProxyDNS option, which disables ArchiDroid's adblock and instead uses old, slow /system/etc/hosts method, which is NOT good. Source of ArchiDroid's Adblock is /system/archidroid/dev/spinners/Hosts, which should be a symlink to one of the options (files) in _Hosts/.

In general, if you want to do this in proper way, put your hosts in /system/archidroid/dev/spinners/_Hosts folder and change them as-you-need in archidroid app. Trust me that app is not lazy and it's executing task as fast as possible ;).
[Sony Xperia M] mankokoma:
Thanks for THAT HINT - I did not realize before that ALL files of ....spinners/_Hosts are listed in the DropDownMenu of your app.... now I (for good) can forget my script which did no more than backup /etc/hosts added a few lines of lan-depended servers & and vice versa. Open Archidroid App and do one tap is much easier! :good:

Have a good party tonight!
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Are you using the same recovery as in your latest KitKat build? Because I wanted to extract it from your ROM and add it to PecanCM's CM12 build by replacing ramdisk-recovery.cpio in boot image. So will it work? By the way, can't wait to test Lollipop ArchiDroid. KitKat is untested by me, because I didn't want to use CM11-based ROM's because of sound glitches.
[Sony Xperia M] Arturiuz!:
+1

..if you get permission from [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION],would be wonderful if you could for i also find it more stable than version 2.8.0.0..i havent't tried it yet,though..

[Sony Xperia M] aleksa069:
One of the cores is always locked ad 1.6 Ghz, can we change that? Besides thst rom is super stable and fast, great batter. Does not have a single flow. Just this overclock problem. :)
[Sony Xperia M] Levskar40:
Use a third party app that can control both cores and set the second one MAX MHz as per your wish.
[Sony Xperia M] mankokoma:
The only way I found to control both CPU cores is with OS Monitor, meanwhile I found out that you can keep the preferred freq. at boot in the settings of the app. But no profiles or easy switching. Has anyone a good idea? Sometimes enjoying higher speed is nice.
[Sony Xperia M] Levskar40:
I am using "CPU Performance Control PRO" app. It works great. You can configure different profiles and also you can set one of them at boot.
[Sony Xperia M] aleksa069:
Multi core CPU control PRO, app works great, you can switch to different profiles and control CPU cores independently:)
[Sony Xperia M] Mihir R:
The new version is awsome bro :D
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
Due to kernel + recovery combo, I am forced to put some recovery in ArchiDroid. ATM the only "good" choice for me is TWRP, hence, ArchiDroid comes with latest self-compiled TWRP in my builds.

Of course you can extract it and make your own ZIPs, I have nothing against that, just put proper info that recovery has been compiled by me in X release, so people know where it comes from, it's always important to include such info, as I keep everything open-source on my github.

As previously stated, ArchiKernel includes OC and it's the only alternative to stock kernel that I recommend. If you don't want OC, you can always keep stock kernel. OC can be controlled by many third-party apps, I just give you the power to do so. I made ArchiKernel in ArchiDroid ramdisk-independent, so it utilizes stock's (up-to-date) ramdisk while being flashed, which is not the case with other OC kernels, that include custom ramdisk. This may cause some conflicts eventually, hence, I suggest to stick with the kernels available in AROMA, unless you want to deal with the potential problems that you can make.

ArchiDroid's Lollipop is slowly making it's way also for Xperia M, but as I said, I must be able to compile TWRP from the LP sources, as I don't want to dirty repack it with older precompiled release.

I consider 3.0.1.1 as ultimately stable and final KK release for Xperia M. It's always good to have a safe ground for eventual problems. So future releases will include LP, and all it's good, and bad things... :).
[Sony Xperia M] Arturiuz!:
ArchiDroid V3.0.1.1 is one of my fave Custom ROMs for KK. Looking forward to have the LP version! :p

Thank you ever so much [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] :)

Problem with DATA Transfer Archidroid Xperia M

Hi all :) I have big problem with this ROM :( My data transfer not work :( I can only take call and send sms. I have c1905 but in preferences it show me c2005 :( I have other android 5.0 ROM-s and in other everything is fine on android 4.3 also. I have only problem in this rom :( I have load orginal android 4.3 then once run and missed a call then power off and run flashtool and install this rom by TWRP from this ROM but my data transfer don't work :( Can somebody help me please? :( Thansk for answer :) Sorry for my very bad english...

Hello all.

I have same problem on my Xperia M (C1905). No cellular network found, so I even cannot make calls. Is there any kind of workaround?
[Sony Xperia M] gustavoemcoma:
GPS?

First of all, thank's for this work!

I'd like to take a doubt! Does this Rom works Gps properly? I asked that cause I have issue with gps in other roms (stock, cm11). For instance, Gps drops signals.

Thank's
[Sony Xperia M] ramprasad5394:
Works very well for me.
[Sony Xperia M] ByronFer:
Im having a minor issue which actually is getting more and more annoying, I use poweramp for my music, but every song skips while listening, its a minor sound glitch, tried changing to a higher audio buffer, tried on headphones, Bluetooth conection, but still have the same issue, any ideas why is this happening?? Ive been using Poweramp since a few years so dont think its a poweramp failure.... Anybody???? Thnks
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Sound glitches is CM11 bug. PecanCM tried to fix them but he couldn't.
[Sony Xperia M] ByronFer:
Oh man... thats so bad.. so does that mean that no matter what app I use for music, it will still have that issue???? thanks for your help :)
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Yes, it means so. And it was the main reason for me not use CM11 and based on it ROMs. And you can install AOSP/CAF 4.4 or CM12, they don't have that issue, or wait for CM12 ArchiDroid release. And Paranoid Android maybe doesn't have this problem too, because it is on CAF kernel, but I did not test it.
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
If you want lollipop AD so badly, you can get it through ArchiDroid app, by switching to branch nicki-cm-experimental.

But beware, it's in WIP state. Some things are broken, for example recovery after kernel flash.
[Sony Xperia M] gustavoemcoma:
I'll test ROM. I asked it cause many users claims the same problem along stock 4.2+ rom and CM11. GPS lost signal and doesn't recover the signal. This isn't a hardware issue, it's a software problem. Tracker apps is a problem.

Anyway, thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia M] Levskar40:
Hi, I really appreciate your work and I wanna try AD Lollipop, but can you confirm it supports dual sim ?

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
ArchiDroid uses PecanCM's device branch, so dual sim is not supported yet.

Allright that sounds interesting, so ill give them a try... I just cant move around with those sound glitches... I appreciate all your help... :good: :good:
[Sony Xperia M] para22:
correction

Sorry for reposting, but i'm new to xda developers and couldn't find edit my post link.

What i meant in the line

was
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
1. There is no one universal way for link2sd support. Pecan found one I think recently, so if you could ask him for all commits regarding this case, I think I could implement that.

2. Not AD-specific issue. I'm compiling from CM sources, and this should be reported to Pecan, as he's device maintainer for CM. Also possible to be already fixed in CM12.

3. Sometimes aroma has problems reading/writing values, I suggest to not use back button, and you should be fine.

4. Maximum frequency should be the frequency that is working stable for certain device. For example, in my i9300, I didn't manage to achieve stable 1.7 GHz, from 1.4 GHz due to unstable work (freezes, resets, etc). In Xperia M, 1.6 GHz OC works very stable, and I didn't want to go higher because it is already big enough. As long as CPU won't overheat, ANY frequency is alright, and if it does overheat, there are thermal sensors that will either limit the frequency/cores online, or reset the device (in worst case). It's up to you if you wish to use OC, or not. You can always pick stock kernel without the capability to use OC, although I highly suggest to stay on AK and use OC, as it shouldn't cause any issues, and greatly improves smoothness of not-that-fast CPU used in Xperia M. However, the final choice is upon you.

5. Nope, this is not even considered. CM's theme engine is responsible for that.

6. Hardware limitation or limited CM support, check point 2.

7. Same as above.

Regarding requests - I don't want to make final zip around 1 GB in size, so I don't want to include all available options, but just give some basic choice, especially if somebody wants to keep google launcher, or not. For market you have F-Droid, which is completely google-free, and you also have a choice whether you want or not to install gapps. Also you can choose how *big* installed gapps should be. Hindi language, again, depends on CM.

I'll make it clear. I don't have enough time for my secondary device to make my own base based on CM. So instead, AD is a combination of pure stock CM base, with my additions such as ArchiDroid's Backend, Aroma, ArchiKernel and other tweaks/things that makes it different from pure CM. Also, by following such policy I don't need to fix bugs/problems, as I use the same sources that Pecan uses. And he's the master here, adding proper support for this device. I'm barely doing anything for Xperia M. All commits regarding ArchiDroid come from my primary device, and because they're universal, they're backported to Xperia M. I'm just compiling ROM + ArchiKernel, and make fast checks if everything works as intended. Therefore, ArchiDroid is stable, will work *better* that official CM, but will have the same bugs/problems/issues as official CM has/had. If you want something device-based fixed, you should contact Pecan and help him fix this bug in CM12. If he succeeds, AD will follow.
[Sony Xperia M] para22:
Thanks for responding so fast

I tried to report the issue on the official cm11 4.4.4 nicki thread but its says since i've posted less than 10 posts, i'm not allowed to post on that thread and it was posted on some other Q&A thread, which I find really weird. What on earth is this senior member/junior member idea of xda-developers based on number of posts and number of thanks

:confused:

(if that were the case, come to india during election time and you'll know where it all leads to;) )

Nevertheless, i've posted my issue there. Hopefully the develper reads that "noob" thread also!

Also, as of date i think cm12 is not supported on my device (xperia m dual, c2004) so i don't have anyway to test this bug on cm12 on my phone, as this is my primary phone with both my office and personal sims.

I hope you do not feel that i'm trying to split hair end here, but based on what i understand, there is something called mpdecision daemon process which is responsible for throttling cpu and decreasing it. However, trickstermod reports that it is off. So I'm suspicious that there is kernel level monitoring of cpu states.

While I accept that i'm still on the beginning of learning curve for mobile devices and it will take some time to adjust mindframe from 220Volt ac to 5volt dc. The only thing i've managed to learn this far is that android is not exactly linux.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time.

What I was trying to achieve was that if there was a way wherein AROMA installer (i hope i got that right) provides an option where i was able to install my favorite apps offline. This could for example be a set of apk in a definite directory which AROMA installer scans on sdcard and provides a checkbox (or something similar) list which i could select and it would install automagically.

Another option would be to write an init.d script, then place it to init.d folder, reboot the system which i find cumbersome; in that case i would rather go for playstore, sync with my google account and download the apps.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Mpdecision daemon works, as it is responsible for switching 2nd cpu core (you can see it in CPU-Z, for example). If you'll type in terminal stop mpdecision (under root session) you will see second core doesn't go to active or to sleep mode automatically, and when you'll enter start mpdecision you will see it working properly. So you can see that mpdecision works. BTW, I don't know what is "trickstermod", but I suppose it reports that it is unable to tweak mpdecision (as same as Kernel Tuner reports), but mpdecision by itself works.
