[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Okay, thanks for the link to C5302 FTF. Didn't notice that it was released, my bad.

.207 FW FTF can be made, and it's really easy, but I just see no point in it as the flashable kernel zip contains every partition image that needs to be flashed, and it's more conveinient to flash as a end-user. However, I'll make ftfs for every variant if you think it's needed, just for some people that prefer Flashtool flashing.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
So true. I strongly suggest all users of this ROM to run the following script: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527268

I thought nothing could beat the standard performance of this (deodexed) ROM, which was already amazing.

After odexing it, performance, battery life and free RAM increased even more.

Thanks for pointing out the difference between PAC and PA, MrSteve555!
[Xperia SP Android Development] orangpelupa:
Hurray, after bricked my Xperia SP, now im on B11 without losing any data :)

in case any of you got similar problem, here what i do:

1. flash full 207 ROM using flashtool (exclude format Data, include customization reset)

2. root using towelroot https://towelroot.com/

3. install cwm http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649923

4. install this rom again
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I really needed few testers, still not a single PM. Apart from [MENTION=5579865]MrSteve555[/MENTION] of course, I know he is there.

Nice find. Although Be careful with the script. Use it responsibly otherwise misuse will give you bootloop.

Glad you sorted out your troubles. Enjoy the rom.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Or just flash a kernel with recovery using fastboot and adb push the zip of this ROM to your phone.

Way faster method...
[Xperia SP Android Development] orangpelupa:
no, you cant. because after flashing kernel, the phone still stuck on bootloop :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
You can if you power off your phone using the yellow button.

Then press volume up while connecting your phone to your PC.

And voila... fastboot mode. No rocket science really. Basics tbh.

And I'm not talking about flashtool, but fastboot. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Some people don't have a fast boot mode. Permanent locked

So they can't recover by your method
[Xperia SP Android Development] Nathan rd:
odexed :) feels like 4.1.2 :good: but device heats up lil bit, does your device heats up or ok
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Neat little mod isn't it? :D

Only in the beginning a little bit. Seems to go away after a while.

Try undervolting your CPU 25mV with trickster mod.

I'm on Doomkernel v13 by the way.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Silver Wx:
Amazing performance, thanks !

I'm using the latest Williams kernel by flashing via fastboot and it works great!

How is the battery life on doomlord kernel compared to stock kernel?
[Xperia SP Android Development] M7mdA7md7sein:
Sorry about this post :( But I didn't find any instructions about how to "update" the rom to latest build ?

I am on #10 and the OTA updater tells "Invalid Rom name" !

should I download the whole file #11 ? and the .207 kernel ? then install which first and wipe what and exclude what ?

Thanks for this Superb Rom and sorry for disturbance :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
1. Reboot to revovery.

2. Format /system.

3. Wipe dalvik cache.

4. Flash build #11 and Gapps.

5. Flash .207 kernel.

6. Reboot.
[Xperia SP Android Development] TsunaH:
So PA is already odexed or not?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Nope, it's deodexed.
[Xperia SP Android Development] moe111:
greetings... which is better for performance and batt life odexed or deodexed?

regards
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
Odexed.

Deodexed gives you more customasition ability.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Doomlord since you have more tweaking ability.

MP decision: on

Wheatley - noop combination.

Cpu max underclock to 1.56 Ghz

Cpu undervolted by 25mV

Muticore Power saving: 1

Greenified allot of apps, freezed some google services.

Odexed by using the link I provided a few pages back.

Use app "Lux" instead of auto screen brightness.

With average use I only need a charge every 48 hours and I get 5.5 to 6 hours of screen time.
[Xperia SP Android Development] arhun:
Better battery and performance sounds interesting. Can we get Odexed version of our ROM..
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
It has already been mentioned a few pages back how to do it yourself...
[Xperia SP Android Development] arhun:
Sorry, I'm not that much good in coding/technical stuff...

Yeah..i know..it would be great if someone shares that working Odexed ROM...so i can test and give review about performance. I can help with that..
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
If you are able to unlock your bootloader, flashing a kernel and a ROM (which apparently you have already done) then odexing a ROM is like a walk in the park.

Just follow the instructions below:

1 Go to the orginal topic (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527268)

3 Download OdexerTool_1.2_ARMEABI.zip (direct link: https://32bb3f88f9e82bd9d61d6f637f4...TITW9xZ2VDMHpFd2M/OdexerTool_1.2_ARMEABI.zip/)

Will it work on locked boot loader Xperia SP ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] TsunaH:
No you can't with a locked bootloader

[MENTION=5424994]Gamm86[/MENTION] : How is the battery life after odexing the rom ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Unlike what TsunaH says, it should work without any issues.

As always, make a nandroid backup first to be sure.

Battery life is better than before.
[Xperia SP Android Development] TsunaH:
Oh my bad for the bootloader
[Xperia SP Android Development] ironshadow2:
Which customization will I lose after odexeding the ROM?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Nothing ive noticed, my CM11 theme still all works. Ive not tried changing it but I dont think it works like that.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Is this actually 4.5 beta 1?

I ask this as I dont have the new recents (unless i'm missing something this was the big thing with this release).

Anyone else?
[Xperia SP Android Development] TsunaH:
Does really odexing the ROM improve the battery life ?

Because I dont see any improve ...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Its probably only a minor saving from where the procesor doesnt have to work as hard when opening odexed programs.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Yes, it actually is 4.5 beta 1, but it's AOSPA-legacy, so new features are always being added a little bit later.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jeik:
EDIT

Reformulation:

Does this rom have newer tweaks/optimizations than NexusCM11?
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Yes and no.

Its newer by build n update date yes. But CM and PA are different ROMs. Different features, tweaks etc. Google or Youtube for a comparison.

PA Beta 2 is here. I will sync and post an update today. Just because last one had few bugs i saw. I recommend B12 to people.

No questions for OTA please. Its giving me headaches already, its needs a lot of work for smooth working. Please bear with me.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sattar1363:

[Xperia SP Android Development] lvints:
Sorry if the question is annoying, the new recents is present in this new build?
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
By the way nexus, can you odex build 12 instead of having it deodexed? seems like most ppl want it more, just like with pac... if you did it in pac i don't know why wouldn't you do it with pa too...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
I already explained how to odex it a few pages back.

It only takes a few minutes to do it yourself.

Be happy you are already presented a more than decent basic ROM. ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
He didn't odex PAC. It comes default on PAC, on PA the default is deodexed.

You can odex the ROM yourself, there is no need to change everything and make it odexed by default.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Leave it as is and people can optionally odex it if they want.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sattar1363:
i'm waiting for build 12.

Beta test report:

Triwizard kernel. (Smartmax, RIO, undervolted 25mV, mpdecision on)

Dirty flashed (only wiped cache) over build #11, which was odexed and running ART.

Had some initial FC's with Google Play services, so reflashed Gapps since wiping cache didn't help.

Odexed the ROM again.

All seems fine now. No FC's, stable at the moment.

Left it for 1.5 hours, no battery drain (not even 1%), no wakelocks.

As always, very smooth!

Should I run into any issues then I'll surely let you know!

Most likely your emmc is borked and you won't be able to recover it. But you might try following this thread from someone else who had the same problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54333060

Edit, pay attention to bitdomo's suggestions
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
If you want to enter download mode then check the my singature about LG flashtool, but don't give hopes.

I have no idea what causing these kind of errors.

I think it is not a bad sector error because the whole emmc affected with all the partitions. Partitions become non-writeable or completly messed up and cannot be formated or fixed because the emmc cannot be written.

It is not like the permanent or temporary write protect flag sets to 1 from 0 in the CSD register.

Could it be a bug in the emmc firmware or some other componets faulty which are connected to the emmc?

I also tried to find the connection points, which are exposed on the motherboard, to the emmc with the help of the service manuals. I have found everything except the grounds, Vss and VssQ. Here are the connection points I found.

Some documents:

Serivce manuals

data sheet of the emmc

something about how the emmc work: here, here and here

I dont have any messauring tool to find out more about this problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKis:
Thank you both!

I tried the LG FlashTool method, but as you expected, it didn't work. It gave an error saying 'user data erase failed', which I think finally means that nobody and no-thing is able to write stuff to that chip. I figure my only option to get this device working is to get a 'new' motherboard somewhere. I suppose it's not possible to change the flash memory chip itself? Do you guys have any experiences on motherboard changes? Is there something I should know before? The phone itself looks pretty easy to open, compared to other devices I've disassembled so technically I should be okay, unless there's some compatibility issues around. My device is not the north-american model, but can I use north-american motherboard as a spare part? Isn't all the information basically stored in the mobo? I think I could get a glass cracked phone from ebay, but it would be nice to be able to use it here in Finland...

And thank you again, it's always good to hear my phone has gone fubar from someone else than myself :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
If you want to use LTE in finland then get D821 motherboard.

By the way why cant you or your friend claim the phone warranty?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKis:
Hmm, now that you mentioned it... I assumed the warranty was already void, since it's only one year (bought from Asia), but it seems the Nexus 5 was launched less than a year ago. To be honest, I didn't even think about the warranty since he gave the phone directly (?) to me. I should probably ask him...

I assume the LTE restrictions are based on hardware of the chip and can't be dealt with software patching?

Anyways, thanks for your help, you've been really kind!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Yes, the differance with the LTE bands is hardware thing. If the phone you have is the international nexus 5 aka D821 then you can ask for LG in finland about the cost of the repair. It will be hard to find D821 motherboard or nexus 5 with broken screen on ebay, but there are many D820s.

I want ask one thing. Can you reboot to bootloader and check the variant line? For me it says "hammerhead D821(H) 16GB"

What is the letter you see between the ( )?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKis:
I have 'hammerhead D821(E) 16GB'. Yeah, it seems a lot of Nexuses sold are in fact the north american version (surprisingly). Well, maybe I'll check the warranty/repairing status first. Although, I don't mind not using LTE, since I've never trusted any mobile networks at all so it doesn't matter to me if I only have 3G speeds :silly:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Thank you for your response. The (E) and (H) letters means the brand of the memory. E for Elpida and H for Hynx. Nexus 5s with Elpida ram are rare just like nexus 5s with faulty emmc. The memory, cpu and gpu are put together to one chip, the MSM8974 chip. This chip controls everything on the phone including the emmc.

I should make a survey about the emmc faulty devices to gain more infos before making theories.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I was wondering what that letter meant lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
Sorry for necroing this post but it serve to anyone with my question that google nexus 5 elpida emmc.

Will elpida emmc fail and hynix is a lot better? Cause im having a n5 with 32g (e) and a 16g n5 (h)

Im using hynix one cause i reflash everytime and i dont want a bricked n5, is there anyway to know if my elpida n5 will brick or somewhat?
