UBL tag disappeared from title. What does it mean?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
OK sorry guys just noticed a stupid error on my part, the updater script wasn't from the nightly so installation was messed up. Sorry for the inconvenience. Marina bay update will be updated by today

Sent with the XDA Premium Application for the XPERIA SP running CM11s
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
OK guys I've finally fixed the marina bay update. The original one actually worked just that it can only run if you're on landscape. I know, I know that's dumb. I rebuild the ROM ground up again and implemented new fixed to the latest nightly. The new ROM that's now on mega is fixed. I tested it myself and all and it ran smoothly so yeah. The ROM is at its BARE minimum so there's nothing in the rom except stuff that makes it cm11s so don't expect any pre installed apps in there. Flash gapps after installation.

Forgot to add that you MUST disable signature verification to install the latest update as I was in a rush and forgot to sign the zip.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Marina bay update changelog;

[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
New Marina Bay Package Uploaded. I've tried it out and didnt do any further enhancements so all c530x devices should be able to flash the rom with no errors whatsoever. Ive removed the bootanimation for the moment. You can opt in for the oneplusone boot animation in the themes and apps thread. Im removing the boot animation as it will quicken the boot process faster
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Forgot to add that if youre coming from cm11s v4 or merlion, you CAN do a dirty flash and keep all your data intact! Enjoy the Marina Bay update everybody!

Digital Ocean Host for CM11s

Hello there everyone!

Thanks to our helpful forum member, [MENTION=5480095]theroyalstudent[/MENTION] we have a new reliable mirror for the ROM! The Mirror is hosted under Digital Ocean which means that for most of us, downloading would be much faster or simply similar to that of the MEGA servers. Go ahead and try the Digital Ocean Host instead for the moment! Cheers everyone! :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] TsunaH:
I'm coming from alpha V5

Do i have to do a clean install ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Nope
[Xperia SP Android Development] ploreal:
i've flash new Marina Bay version so far very good, i tried dirty flash but gallery fc and back button not working but I am not sure that you will also got the same thing as me if you try dirty flash,, keep loving this rom guys
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Haha that's why I recommend to not do dirty flashes! Anyways is the battery good for you?
[Xperia SP Android Development] ploreal:
yeah.. battery life this rom very good than other CM11 rom -1% about 4-7mins with wifi on.. so excited waiting for new update and new features :laugh:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Androidkeeda:
What is the basic difference between cm11 and cm11s??

And is there any systemUI carashes issues here.... Sry bt the thread is so long so cant read the whole...

What abt battery life?

Gaming?

Force closes?

I m in PA rom so want to switch..
[Xperia SP Android Development] ploreal:
battery life good

gaming very smooth

no force close so far

you should try this rom :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
CyanogenMod11 is the standard Cm you'll get but the CM11s variant has different things from original cm such as a different gallery, a cool lockscreen and such but I've made the ROM a little more than just applications and done loads of tweaks
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Ok guys can I have your opinion, what do you think if I integrate some Z3 stuff into this ROM? Or would you prefer I create another ROM totally?
[Xperia SP Android Development] duythanh28:
is usb tethering and portable hotspot bug error fixed? i'm really need it :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] ploreal:
i excited when you put some z3 stuff like xperia home or you can create 2 versions with z3 stuff or without z3 stuff :D

I am able to use it no problem
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Thanks and noted
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jeik:
Make another rom,we want a full sony feel,not like we themed a cm11 rom :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] DanielZRK:
Will be GREAT! But only put a simple things like a launcher, some widgets and some app. Don't convert this interesting rom in a bloat-laggy rom :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Androidkeeda:
As i read last 3 pages... There was some prblm in installing rom or some booting prblm... Bt later it has fixed... Can anybody provide me latest stable version download link... I cant find on OP... :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] ezwanmir:

[Xperia SP Android Development] Araib93:
Firstly I must say you are the best dev on xperia sp thread ! (I haven't seen many who update their rom this much, I mean a new build daily?? thats huge) secondly Marina Bay is working great for me, found no bug so far but is there anyway to change the lockscreen color? thirdly for your question, please make a new thread for that cause once you add new z3 stuff many people might have some lag issues and you might have hard time fixing bugs (compatibility issues etc) also dude your rom is quite stable now so rest a little :p take a week off or something like that you deserve it :) :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] TsunaH:
Dirty Flash Marina Bay from alpha v5

Works perfectly except sometimes gallery fc.

Great battery life !

Hi [MENTION=5934815]Furrydaus[/MENTION] will you release this ROM for LBL?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Sadly I don't think I will but there is hope if mrsteve555's LBL build gets better! You can look forward to my next Sony ROM which I'll do my best to make it compatible with unlocked and locked bootloaders
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Haha thanks! Can't change lock screen colour as far as I can tell
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
which kernel should we use?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Its included with the ROM. You can also use Williams Kernel for cm/miui v4 for added features
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
I just installed it, rebooted and still loading, black screen, no boot animation, is this normal?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Yes I purposely removed the boot animation
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
Okay, does it take this long to boot? o.o or should i be worried? was a clean flash, coming from another rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Nope will take about 10minutes or so. But if it doesn't then well you know how to recover ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
should i try to flash it again? do i need to flash anything else other than the rom and gapps?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
Yes i just unlocked like 30mins ago to try your rom, installed doom's kernel to flash your rom but happened what i told you (black screen like forever).. i'm gonna flash again now
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
You shouldn't have flashed dooms kernel as it cause mounting issues with upgrading to cm at times
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
which one do i flash? and doesn't it flashes william's after installing rom anyways?
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Wow… that would be totally cool. CM on Xperia UI? [emoji5] The last time I used one was the NSX rom by [MENTION=5719725]demonio98[/MENTION] and was using it for a month w/ out issues (well some minor bugs are still present). Sadly its almost 4 months since the rom was developed and got no updates so far.

Have tried other Xperia like CM roms (UBL) but non of them were stable and worth the daily driver that I wanted from a CM based rom.

Giving hope for your own variant of Xperia UI'd CM rom…you just made me feel that it's worth the wait. I can't go back to STOCK, not w/ its crappy performance especially multitasking and gaming. The latest update for SP started rolling here in our country last week, and users opinion and positive feesbacks did not convince me either to switch roms.

Cheers on your work and (soon to be developed) roms sir [emoji106]
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
guys what kernel did u use to flash the rom? i cant seem to be able to boot it, always black screen forever when booting, trying williams v4 cm , if it doesnt work gonna relock bootloader, unlocked it for this rom in vain :s
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Use stock ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
stock ? what do you mean by stock?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Flash stock Sony kernel
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
lol, how am i able to install the rom with no recovery then, i'm just asking which kernel or whatever recovery to use to flash this rom and you won't give me a clear answer, nvm it, guess it might be better to go stock rom instead or cm
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Thanks for the opinion and I hope to be able to make your wishes come true in my new ROM!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Its all in the instructions. Use cwm or philz. You can try flashing the ROM again or you can go back to stock and install the recovery by dssmex and flash the rom again. If all fails then I'm sorry for you mate
[Xperia SP Android Development] ezwanmir:
im just installed marina bay on my xsp just now...from my opinion the rom is working normally, i will give full report at this night.. after flash marina bay, my Gapp and previous custom font is gone.. lol btw.. nice work furrydaus! im so excited for your sony stock rom!:D

EDIT : Gallery FC can be fixed by doing , wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and also clear data gallery apps from setting..;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] ploreal:
after first installation you should wait about 5-10min after sony logo because the OP remove his rom bootanimation after booting you can change the black screen to forceware bootanimation you can change it from theme selection
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
I clearly waited for around 20mins and still nothing, flashed stock rom and recoveries, gonna give it one more try, if it doesn't work i'll go back to cm, what recovery didd u use btw? (kernel)
[Xperia SP Android Development] ploreal:
i use cwm and stock kernel
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
I utilized CWM Touch. Kernel was STOCK Sony kernel that is inside the ftf file. Install Dssmex lbl recovery, unlock bootloader then I installed my rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
Could you able to port sony Xperia stock camera of z3 or z2? In your rom ? And do port album walkman home And some apps...... Then it gonna be the best rom out here .... We all are so lovers of sony apps
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
In this ROM or a separate one? Actually I'm thinking of creating a converter package to convert any ROM to z3 but it may require a load of effort
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
No peoples are always confused of threads containing so many builds...

If you are porting z3 apps and mods to marina bay or any future stable build... Make a new thread cuz there is gonna be many links and descriptions in op...

And if your mind is to make a convertor like cyanogenbases to stock custom rom... Then it takes a lot effort.. I guess your rom is based on cm11 kernel and other side there are roms like pa, pac and brilliant mr steve builds which are bases on stock kernals... I dont know what problems you gonna face!

But first i advice you to first try to port on your build... Then you can work on universal convertor to stock wow what a name ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] j0a0:
:( so sad for that... For what I see you rom is amazing... And I won a try it.. But I have LBL

I will wait till October to see if Sony comes with official KK... And than maybe I unlock it. Thank anyway
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Since you all are asking for a LBL version for this ROM, I'll get to it now! I'll finish the lbl version by today ok guys? :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] j0a0:
Thank you very much!

You are the best :):):)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Haha why thank you!
[Xperia SP Android Development] xAD3r1ty:
Used lbl recovery like you said and it worked! thanks mate, btw, rom seems a little "sluggish" with some slowdowns here and there, is it because of cm kernel? did u change ur kernel or use the cm one? should i change something inside the rom? maybe to art? idk, didn't face this problem on LBL cm or pa
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Probably kernel or nightly issues. But I'll be updating the ROM to the Sengkang Update which will introduce loads of performance enhancements so wait for that next week! As for LBL users, The lbl variation known as The Duxton will be released later today or early tmr using Mr steve555's LBL CM Version although expect random systemui crashes and other bugs he has announced. ;P
[Xperia SP Android Development] Patrikm:
Hi,

firstly, Thanks for this ROM, I really like it :good:

Next, Is it possible to change never settle wallpaper from lockscreen? I can't find this option anywhere. :confused:

Than you
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Its in the themes section :P
[Xperia SP Android Development] Patrikm:
Yes, You're right ... Than you so much :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
No problemo mate
[Xperia SP Android Development] Androidkeeda:
I installed the ROM and it's very fast... No crashes till now.. Thanx Furrydaus... While going through pages I found u r very good and kind natured... Not rude like some of the developers...

Actually I want to ask some questions.

-why is there no boot animation?

- which kernel is there ? While flashing is says "installing cm kernel" and then "William kernel" ?

- why on power on Sony splash screen visible sometimes and sometimes not?

- where I can find stock z2 messaging app working on this ROM?

- is there any way to change colour of lock screen blue part?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Thanks for the compliments! I blame myself for being too kind at times and making people take advantage of me but oh well, its life :D

Alright on to the questions!

Why is there no boot animation? Simple, as it improves boot up times and also prevents unnecasary use cpu power to run an animation. I feel that its wasting CPU resources to play a boot animation so i just scrape it off. You can opt in for boot animations out there :P

Kernel? I was lazy to remove the whole Williams Kernel installation part in the updater script for marina bay so yeah... :P

Sony Splash Screen issues. I'm not sure about that as I've always got it whenever I boot up my device. Might be that your installation wasn't installed as expected and maybe your device missed a few parts in the kernel transfer or download.

Z2 Messaging App. I dont know where it is actually. Im aiming to use Z3 system dump to port Z3 UI to XSP in another ROM

Lockscreen Colour. Sorry dude I dont think thats possible but you could try changing it with the aid of google search! :P

Did I answer all your questions properly? I hope I did! :D

Furrydaus

Update:

Next version would come with light effects when playing music. Of course, integrated as usual ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Care to explain how you did it?

Seems the rest of the CM11 ROM's are having issues to get this working properly.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Im going to try to integrate an app into the rom. If that doesnt work, ill just place the app there so you guys can configure it for those handy music light effects ;)

Ill give more info here if I get it done successfully for other Rom developers to use! ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Hmmm, I'm quite sceptical at this point but good luck! ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Haha I bet you are! But nothing is impossible! Ill also be improving the dual mics further by implementing a new fix that was released by a couple of other devs ;)
