Installing

Quick one.

I have Cyanogenmod already installed and I want to install an update. Do i necessarily have to Wipe Dalvik/Cache and do a format? I dont wanna start from scratch. Someone please confirm how to go about an update. not a fresh install from stock. Thanks
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinipic:
Hello, if you are on bagyusz CM11 Rom, you can flash the updte without wipes or anything else, reboot, finished :p

When you come from another CM11 Rom, please make a clean install:

Make a backup of your current system, by going to "backup and restore" and selecting the "backup to /storage/sdcard1" option. This will create a "clockworkmod" folder on your SD card and the dated backups will be stored here.

Now go to "Wipe data/factory reset" and select the "Yes-Wipe All user data" option. This will erase the /Data /Cache partitions and delete the ".android_secure" folder on the SD card. IMPORTANT: This may take several minutes to complete.

Installation of the google apps (Gapps):

Download the newest CM11 gapps from this list http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

Copy it to the external SD card

Go to CWM recovery again (camera button)

Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" and select the Gapps pack you just copied to the SD card

Once installation is done, reboot the phone

As you see, there is no need to make a install from stock! :fingers-crossed:

Good luck

Bug

11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan

App icons added to the homescreen at the lower left corner (right above the tray) tend to disappear after reboot or just 1-2 days of usage. I would have to manually add them again from the app drawer when this happens. This also happens to other homescreens (I currently have 2-3 homescreens). Grid size: Cozy. Apps currently in that area are the apps whose data and resources I have moved to my SD card. However, I remember I also had an app that I didn't move to the SD card, and it disappeared too. Note: Apps do not get uninstalled. The icon disappears from the homescreen, especially if I placed them to the lower left area of the homescreen. Also good to point out here, if I have icons placed on the bottom or right edges of the homescreen on Cozy grid, but then change the grid size to "Comfortable", the icons get cut off from the screen. And yes, my homescreens have plenty of space on the screen for the icons to rearrange themselves instead of getting cut off.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan

1 more unwanted homescreen tends to get created to the right. The app icons and widgets that I added to my homescreen fit in 2 homescreens, but there's a blank one that creates automatically to the right and there is no delete option.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

I do not use many widgets (I currently have 2 of them on my homescreens). Google Calendar and Mint widgets. Google Calendar is on my main homescreen, and Mint is on the one to the right. However, very often, the Mint widget (which is supposed to show my account summary) disappears from my homescreen everyday! Then when I long press homescreen >

Widgets, I am unable to find the Mint widget! I would have to reinstall the app to make it appear in the list again.

Hi !

My only problem is I wanted to check again the Bootloader and the Simlock statuses, like in the Sony stock rom, but unfortunately this menu is not quite the same.

It seems only the stock rom has the app running that special menu.... Maybe I'll google some more to get some more info... Maybe there's a way to push it somehow into any custom rom.

Anyway ty :D

As far as I know it's like this on purpose after merging partitions so internal storage is bigger. No Fix for that I guess.

Xperia sp file system changes from stock to cm11

Hello all, i currently have received an Xperia SP as a hand me down, a locked bootloader version. On the stock rom, the file system has the internal storage counting as sdcard0, while the external sd card was registered as sdcard1.

When i switched to cyanogen 11, i noticed that the external sd card AND the internal storage both combined into sdcard0. Under normal circumstances, this isn't a big issue, but as i am plagued by the sdcard disconnect issue, i simply can't have that. Programs keep crashing, the system hangs often and slows to a crawl, basically becomes unusable. Is there a way i can have the file system work as it did on stock, both sd card and internal storage working as separate entities, while keeping all the cyanogen goodies?

thank you all in advance,

you need to flash stock ROM first, then root and recovery and try to install. then it will install.

or if you don't want to do that, change this value of build.prop

My phone doesn't boot anymore

Hi, I need some help as I believe I've damaged my phone.

I followed the steps 1 to 3 from the OP and everything went as described. I used the rom cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-huashan.zip, which I downloaded from cyanogenmod downloads website.

In step 3, after selecting the "reboot system now" option, my phone turned off and didn't turn on anymore. When I press the power button for a few seconds, it vibrates very quickly and that's all. The screen remains off and it doesn't boot.

What can be done? Should I just throw it to the garbage bin?

Any help will be appreciated!

Marcos
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinipic:
Put it away and forget it :laugh: It should be a joke.

OK. let´s go to reanimate your phone. When you press the power button and it vibrates, means, the CWM is installed - very good.

Now download the right Rom with a PC from here: http://d-h.st/users/bagyusz/?fld_id=35801#files

After this remove the SD-card from the phone and put the Rom with a card reader, slot etc. to the SD-card.

Then insert the SD-card back to the phone.

Now press again the power button until it vibrates - press volume down at the same time until you are again in the CWM.

From now on follow the described procedere:

-e: Now go to "Wipe data/factory reset" and select the "Yes-Wipe All user data" option. This will erase the /Data /Cache partitions and delete the ".android_secure" folder on the SD card. IMPORTANT: This may take several minutes to complete.

It is advised to do the following when performing a clean install:

It may happen that the installer is unable to format the system, so it needs to be perfomed manually by going to "mount and storage" and selecting the "format /system" option.

-f: Navigate to "install zip->choose zip from /storage/sdcard1" then browse to and select the previously copied CM11 rom

-g: The CM11 rom should now be installed. If you don't prefer to install the Gapps pack, then reboot your phone with the "reboot system now" option

Your phone should be alive again with CM11.

Now you can install the gapps or anything you want.

Good luck, reinipic :fingers-crossed:

Hello, I can tell you, your SD-card isn´t dead ;)

Please read again the OP Changelog from 22.10.: -remove internal sd card (data partition fix 5.4GB)!

The change was to remove the internal storage deliberately, its now integrated into your data partition.

Go to the File Manager - Settings - access mode - and change it to "root access". After you have made it you should have full access to the Internal Storage and... oh wonder, the internal SD is alive! :highfive:

Phone is stack on SONY logo

I had a problem when I tried to update the ROM to the latest version. After install zip "cm-11-20141127-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan" and restart, phone is stack on SONY logo and only way to turn it off is yellow button on the back. I'm not able to enter flashmode, because after a few seconds phone exits flashmode and sony logo reappear. Flashtool does not detect my phone. Any idea how to fix it?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaoo83:
Had it once too. That few seconds is enough if U prep the flashing first and connect when everything is ready on the flashtool end.

The flashing does start and it won't reboot again.

At my first bootloop it took me over a dozen tries, on second only 2 ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinipic:
Hi mate, once I had the same problem as you have now.

What I did: I made the update and didn´t press the reboot button, I switched it off and tried then to start it again with the power button. I don´t know why I have done this, really crazy! The effect was, that I didn´t have any system and had the same problem like you :(

The solution I made:

Try to come again into flashmode - I can not tell it to you, what I exactly have done. I switched it off with the yellow button, connected it with the PC (Flashtool) and hold the Volume up or down, you must try it! Maybe the power button together!?

But sometimes you get the connection to the Flashtool (you can see it on the LED. After this (again, now you have no system at this time) you have to flash a Stockrom. And the you have to repeat the whole procedere. Rooting again, CWM install etc., etc.

For me it was the only solution. Dont´t worry, it takes a little of your time, but then you have a great phone gain. :fingers-crossed:

Hope it helps. Greets, reinipic.

Bootloop

Hi, I think, it sounds not so bad.

As xaoo83 said, prepare all things in the flashtool!

You have to try it a few times with different variants.

When you see the green light, try to press the vol- button and hold it for a little time, or press the button and let him out, when the green light is coming ....

You must try it a few times. Sometimes the phone will get the connection and the flashing process begins. When the process begins, let out all buttons and do nothing, until the process is finished!!!

If you read the OP, there you will see: "During recovery selection, choose CWM"!!!

Anyway, now you can try to go into to the Recovery again:

Open your phone and on the backside there is the Reset button. Press him about 10 seconds until the phone vibrates three times.

Now press and hold the Power button until the red LED is blinking and wait until the phone vibrates three times.

In this moment press the volume down button an hold both buttons until CWM Recovery starts!

Now you can reflash the rom. Should work.
