You don't need flashtool. Flash include Kernel (boot.img in zip file) with fastboot. Then reboot your phone, when notification LED turns violet, press volume rockers few times. Now your phone should enter recovery menu. Do wipes,then install zip from your sdcard and your done ;)

sorry but the problem is something about the phone

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rindar:
Hello, everyone. A complete newbie here.

I've been using CM11 for a while, but now decided to try PA, i found it really nice, but i could not install or move anything onto internal SD; in Settings->Apps it has been replaced by external. So is there a way to swap them somehow?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Did you do a clean install (doing factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery)?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rindar:
I did factory reset before flashing PA. Even tried to use sony factory image - 4.3, and reflashing again. Still nothing.

To clarify : I have 1.97gb internal memory, 3.76 another internal memory(internal sd?), and 16GB(~14.8) external sd card. Under settings->storage all 3 are shown, but in settings->Apps, its 1.97 internal memory in the "Downloaded" tab, and external 16gb under "on sd card" tab. Nothing for internal SD.

I guess its something about mounting storages, yet I have no idea how to fix it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
It hardcoded in framework. Need decompile framework-res.apk, and edit /res/xml/storage_list.xml.

Add android:externalApps="true" for sdcard0, and remove it from sdcard1.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
It just won't install. When I flash it through recovery, flashing process won't start.

P.S I can flash other zips/ROMs
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zach_95:
I can't even boot to recovery. Any recent changes made?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Need more time. Little busy right now. I'll try later, week or two.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .lu:
Killed my V trying to flash the kernel with fastboot (you might wanna tell people to use flashtool in the elaborate instructions). Only Sony logo shortly flashing up, then black screen. Can't restore with Flashtool or Sony PC Companion.

Edit: Managed to recover with Flashtool, stupid Win 8.1 needed special drivers. Post can be deleted
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
No difference between simple fastboot and flashtool (which has gui for fastboot). Seems you are tried flash second alpha build, it has issues with display in recovery, and bootloop as CM12 nightly. Don't try flash not released builds, I uploaded it for testers. If you do it, you do it at own risk.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .lu:
I tried to flash the beta6 but I tried it using the old bootloader (not CWM) and the win8.1 drivers made trouble. I managed to install it now with the right win8.1 drivers to get into flash and fastboot mode by holding the right volume button while plugging into the PC.

The paranoid rom is actually quite nice, there's some settings I still miss from earlier CM (ring lock shortcuts,...) and it uses more power than the stock rom with Stamina energy saving turned on, but it's definitely already usable as a permanent install. Thanks for your work.

Numeric pad in dialer problem

Hi ElArchibald,

great job! Your rom looks very stable and everything works for now. FM radio, GPS, camera, everything.

I'd like to report a small glitch.

If you open the dialer and then press the numeric keypad button, you get a blank screen (I can't post the image since I'm not allowed yet: it's just an image of the dialer which is blank, save for the lower blue button bar that shows the call, chronololgy and options buttons).

To see the numeric keypad, you have to press back and then the keypad button again.

Am I the only one who is experiencing this or just the only one who noticed?

Another question: did anyone try to enable ART?

UPDATE: I flashed the rom again and now it works. Strange, because of course I had formatted everything I had to format. But it works now.

I see that franco kernel are usually related to PA. Does the kernel work on this one?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
There is no working Franco kernel for xperia v. You can try and brick your phone to learn a lesson though [emoji14]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zach_95:
Oh okay, thanks sir! Is there any kernels that we can flash? My battery life's not doing so good lately.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Well if you're using PA then you could try NeoKernel from the following thread which has functions on tuning some kernel stuff and CPU voltages in order to save the battery:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-t-v/v-development/omnirom-neo-edition-t2863459

Remember to flash the CM version :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] boosook:
Thanks for the advice! I also noticed a lower battery life compared to the stock firmware, and not just for the higher screen brightness.

I just flashed WhiteNeo's kernel and it works. I'll let you know if battery life increases.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
From which source you installing zip? Internal or external sd? If from external, try internal.

And flash stock FOTAKernel, maybe you have custom recovery there.

Battery

So after several weeks of use, I have to say that battery drain is huge. 4 hours of surfing with music and the battery is dead. I will definitely switch as this rom with the kernel from the first post makrs my phone unusable
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
What else did you expect? No custom rom will get you more than 4 hours of surfing...even stock roms struggle to get a bit more.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .lu:
Stock rom with battery save mode(stamina) gave me at least 6-8h.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
The most screen-on time I ever got was 5 hours and I've only managed to get that once. O.o

IMO lollipop roms are better than kitkat roma battery-wise, but multitasking is quite worse. So I decided to stick with lollipop because it gives me better performance than stock with quite decent battery life.

Frequent reboots

Hi,

I'm experiences some reboots and I'm trying to understand why.

In at least one case, where it happened while I was using the phone, I've been able to see what was happening and look at some of the errors, and it seems that the CM theme manager caused some out of memory exceptions while trying to apply the background (probably when reloading the launcher).

Would it be possible to remove the theme manager completely? Is it just an app that I can uninstall or it's deeply integrated into the system? WIll the phone boot if I remove it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Info

Small update. Seems Lollipop builds will be! But don't expect active support, as I said in opening post I don't have device right now.. so, I can't test and debug. If someone want support my work, then you can buy me some beer, and I'll buy new device for tests. But my PayPal account blocked and PayPal don't work in my region, need find some alternative payment system...

Little offtop, I made test build of DirtyUnicorns (Lollipop 5.1.1), if someone want try it.. here the link.

BasketBuild

Enjoy! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Foozor:
I've been running beta 2 since ur release, but yesterday my V was declared dead. Got this new S6, and the only thing I miss is the app anonymity / privacy menu.

Thank you for your V builds! They have been awesome!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Np, mate. All I do, is for community.

Most boot issues fixed, need small update for kernel (need add lz4 compression module, to fix compilation error). It's TWRP related error...

Btw, seems my next Sony phone will be Xperia M4 Aqua. Or maybe some next flagship with Snapdragon 820.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pitagoras2000:
Big bug!

I tested this system for you and unfortunately there are a few bugs.

BUGS

1.(!!!) The error message when attempting to dial is "mobile network not available". I can answer the call, send and receive sms, connect to internet but I can not call

2. Option/Buttons is empty

3. FM Radio can not find any station & FM Transmitter FC.

WORKS

1. Xposed super alpha 5.1.1 with GravityBox :D

2. Walkman 3.6beta with download music info

I hope that helped.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
1. Thanks, "mobile network not available" will be fixed, i know what to do. :)

2. Maybe missing some overlay...

3. FM... Need research, logcat would be great.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pitagoras2000:
I can't do a logcat, because my usb is damaged - only charged, but FM is not important - SpiritFM works perfect. All I want is call in your rom :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Temporary you can use fix_ril_crash_signed.zip

You can do logcat direct from device, just install terminal app.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pitagoras2000:
After flashing this zip, system not started (not bootloop). I did clean install, only i can see is kernel logo, then a black screen for 30 seconds, reboot and auto entry twrp.

Ok, now I'll try to do it.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Very nice work [MENTION=5902160]ElArchibald[/MENTION]. :good:

I have to say I just flashed your ROM to test if Xposed is working on your 5.1.1 ROM and it looks like everything is fine. And also the whole system works pretty well, no bugs so far, except a few missing translations (like the power menu or some extra feature in the Settings) and the buggy Buttons menu in the Settings (which shows nothing but a blank white menu).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pitagoras2000:
[MENTION=4762739]banciii[/MENTION]

Because Xposed works, you can change the options button in Gravitybox ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Need take a look whats wrong with Buttons menu..

Next build will be experimental. I will try enable -O3 level optimisations, SELinux Enforce (now it's Permissive), and want add support for exFAT file system [also known as FAT64] via kernel driver, because it's more optimised for big flash drives [it's default fs for SDXC] and it will remove some limitations of VFAT [FAT32] (one of the limitations is 4Gb file limit).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
I don't like GB, it hacks too many things, it implements itself into too many places. I know it and how awesome features it has, but I like to mod as minimum as I can to keep everything clean and do not loose performance. :-$
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
New build is ready!

Note! This is experimental build and may not booting.

Changes:

Enabled -O3 optimisation flag (Need test stability)

Set SELinux Enforce (Need test to ensure that nothing is broken)

SELinux set recovery Permissive (needed by TWRP, need test recovery because some changes, need test accessibility to external_sd)

TWRP Materialised Play theme

Added support for exFAT file system via kernel driver. (need test how it works with SDXC (32+ Gb) card or OTG flash drive)

Enabled FAT and NTFS file system drivers in Kernel.

Merged my changes for GPS

USB added Mass Storage and Charging Only modes support. Allow Mass Storage for external sd.

Just "Issue" not enought. Please write more info.. And preferably make the logcat, or such posts will be ignored.

If you need it just find and flash it separately.

I'll not add Sony apps. It's custom rom, not stock based, for Sony apps use any mod from Xperia T, TL, TX, V Themes and Apps .

Can you fix speaker sound it's too small when I watch YouTube or film and listen to music,I can't hear it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Which gapps you installed? Try another gapps or clean install.

GPS tested, it's work well. For stable GPS signal, use GPSTest (or similar app) for test, enable gps and wifi/internet when you are outdoors (this needs to cache aGPS data), after ~1 min phone will find sattelites in your region and display your location (first cold start), now you can disble wifi/internet. By Now cold start will take only ~20-30 sec and warm start 5-15 sec.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stirlitz99:
Well, I installed it this morning and it is very promising.

No FCs, Store works well, seems to be great on the batt... Will install Xposed and see how it manages as a ROM for everyday. ... and yes, I did an absolutely clean install with cache, data, system and internal storage wipe.

I'll be back with more details... DU Lollipop seems to be so great, it would definitely worth an own topic and the efforts to keep it updated. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
Good! :) Thanks for the feedback. I'll update DU later, and will create a thread for it on the forum.

At the moment I have limited free time, and unfortunately my PC is not good enough to keep updated 3 ROMs at same time. :( Also planned update LiquidSmooth to Lollipop. And I want try bring OTA updates for my ROMs via OpenDelta app.

ParanoidAndroid updated!

Synced PA sources.

Disabled block based OTA.

Added OpenDelta OTA app (Testing).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stirlitz99:
As DU Lollipop has no own topic yet, I give a short review on it here. I'm not a power user, so there is no 200apps installed, but there are several that I use frequently.

The most important question is if it was worth to upgrade from NeoWave KK? Yes!

There was some lagging that was really annoying in Neowave (with all respect to WhiteNeo as I used the ROM for more than half year). Sometimes it took 4-5 seconds to display the emoticons in messenger for the first time. Even without overclocking DU Lollipop is lagfree.

Screentime. I had 3h 40m after an easy weekend (not much calls) using WiFi (enabled for use only) only for data connection. The second charge made around 3:30 and had 7% left.

It goes to deep sleep as should, the lowest consumption after a night I had was 0.16% per hour, the highest 0.42%.

Xposed 5.1... is working for me and did not even installed yesterdays release. I use Greenify, XPrivacy and 3C Toolbox Pro only.

GPS is something like NeoWaves for the cold and hotstart also... but I have to admit I only use the GPS module in phone, so no Google help with my data and WiFi.

FCs... no, really no. I had more with NeoWave, but this might have been addressed to my tighter XPrivacy setup.

The Gallery in DU had some FCs for example when opening photos from gallery to apps (Instagram, Snapseed).

I think that's all for now... I will install Sygic, Sony Walkman, Movies and Album, will see if they work as they should.

What I use for optimization? Greenify, SetXperia, Lux and 3C Toolbox but there is still room for optimization even with these apps.

If you have any questions, just ask...

Help!!! Stuck on starting apps

I installed boot.img by flashtool and flashed zip package successfully, but when I restarted my phone, after optimizing 74 applications , it stucked on “Starting Apps”. I have tried to install with GApps ,without GApps ,with SuperSU, without superSU ,formatting internal storage , removing external storage ,putting my phone into water ,or fridge, threatening it . All failed. Now how can I save my phone.

PS:The TWRP goes well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ElArchibald:
I know about stucking on "Starting Apps", thanks for the confirmation of bug. Temporary revert to previous build, soon I'll make fixed build.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I concur with what member Stirlitz said abt DU. It runs solid, I did not see any lag in two days, and with my personal setup (no Google) I've around 480 mb free memory. There is no undue heating, except those moments when LP is optimizing itself during boot.

I will remove it, however. Lollipop requires Google Play service compulsory to be installed and enabled for a number of apps to function ("this app won't run unless you enable Goggle Play service"). That's for example the case with Skype. Another point is Google forcing me to permit snooping my location with no Google app running. This permission is bound to the two more important settings wifi and mobile data. I don't get it how u more knowledgeable users can accept this.I also see why Lollippop is far more power hungry over older Android.

For this reason Lollipop is dead for me, and also I will be not trying other ROMs based on LP. Thanks to the OP for the work, it is a good ROM anyway, Why you don't but up your ROMs properly?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stirlitz99:
That's why I use XPrivacy since last year... you can select a lot more option to be hidden or shown for these "snoopy services"... if it let the info show, it shows false data that is generated by the app. ;)

The restricitons can cause FCs in cases... but it is up to you what you show.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I will look at X-Privacy but most likely I will not go back to LP but forward to JB.

Having said that I think DU is working great, this is no criticism towards this ROM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pitagoras2000:
Ok I'm already after exams.
