thanks for the hard work! I just flashed the 1130 ROM on Acro S and now its stuck on boot.

First I flash .96 stock, flash root and recovery, full wipe, install rom, gapps and supersu, then flash the boot.img from the zip.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] karkasas:
A lot of crashing.

I don't know what's the problem, but it sucks when I'm browsing internet (chrome), watching youtube or doing other simple tasks, the apps (youtube, chrome, etc.) crash a lot for no reason and puts me to the homescreen. So i'm not even able to play games, I start any game and it crashes.... Also, the phone gets really hot (that's not a big problem, this happens on a lot of custom roms). I installed the no-frills cpu, but it didn't solve any of the problems. I also noticed, that sometimes after I turn off my screen the 3 bottom leds are still glowing. Soo yeah, a lot of problems.. I really like this rom, but that crashing problem drives me crazy, i tried a lot of things, even formatted internal storage, but it didn't help.. please, fix this crashing problem, or tell me, where can i find non overclocked kernel.

Cant boot BPaul`s rom 5.0 (RC2 / RC1)

I have tried everything I could imagine. Im not entirely new to flashing, but this one I cant seem to solve on my own.

I tried flashing BPaul`s rom (both RC2 and RC1) and none of them could boot. I flash it, then it stays on Google logo with a padlock (unlocked) underneath it for like 5 seconds, then a bootloop starts. (imgur . com oJtxn.jpg - It looks like this, but the padlock is unlocked).

It will reboot like 10 timesand then will stay on that screen forever.

Things I have tried:

* Full reinstall (Try Do a FULL Fresh Install... From Universal-Generic FTF .96, than Flash a new Kernel with Recovery, Do a Full Wipe and than install the RC1... Configure the CPU OC to 1.35ghz(With Wheatly Gov, and Max 512kb Ahead SD read) and GPU OC to 266mhz...(Using Trickster Mod) than use as normally "stock" phone to see if the FC and Reboots stops. Suggested by DvDwx.) - No luck.

* Tried flashing the roms boot.img and then a kernel with recovery. Then flash the ROM. - No luck. Same problem.

* Tried flashing cm11 boot.img then flash the ROM. - No luck. Same problem.

No matter what I do, I cant get past that screen, and the phone will never boot. It keeps rebooting itself and randomly just freezes there.

Does anyone have any clue?

Same problem as everybody, Im getting infinite reboots and the Google screen with a ~unlocked~ icon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] King_Raymond:
It's not really a bug, but my Wifi connection is not as strong as in stock rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panickbr:
Ok, everyone who had the reboot/infinite boot problem this just fixed it.

I knew the problem was something to do with the clocking, since it also happened when I tried to OC my phone (the screen goes dark very slowly, going to a yellow tone before rebooting).

Here's what I did.

Before starting, you need to have on your sdcard: Latest ROM, Latest Gapps, BPauls Underclocked kernel (its on the ROMs thread, look at the last page, I think its 30)

1- Flash 4.2 kernel with recovery from BPaul.

2- Boot into CWM (Vol Up)

3- Mount and storage -> Format /system, Format /cache, Format /data

4- Install zip from sdcard -> install latest bpaul release (v5, RC2)

5- Reboot system

6- When CWM says you messed up the root, just hit ~No~.

Here, some problems may appear. Sometimes CWM wont load (the led wont turn pink). Just keep rebooting (Hold power + vol up until your phone vibrates), and keep pressing volume up even if the led doesnt turn pink.

If you manage to go into CWM, it may still reboot during this or just freeze there. Keep trying. The goal here is just to go into CWM and install the Underclocked kernel. Install zip from sdcard -> underclocked kernel -> reboot system.

It will now pass to a screen with ~ANDROID~ written it. Wait around 5mins. The system will boot. Restart the phone, install Gapps, etc etc... Phone is now good to go.

Thanks for your hardwork BPaul, really appreciate it. Lollipop is beautiful! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hemuwi:
I installed the RC2 (v5) version today and it is working pretty well on my acro s. Not a single reboot yet!

I wasn't able to install the gapps given in the first post (it gave me an error in CWM) but I downloaded CM12 gapps and it was ok.

I have only found some minor bugs/downsides:

- If I turn the screen off when Fn-buttons are lit - they will stay lit even when the screen is off

- App/data partition gets filled up a lot easier than in CM11, maybe I should start using link2sd for apps that I use rarely...

- In the lock screen it says that the phone is charging even if it is not

Keep up the good work! :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] King_Raymond:
As I can't (yet) answer in the other thread, here is how I installed this rom.

starting point is a rooted 6.2.B.1.96 with CWM and TWRP

the first working install was the RC0

The steps:

Wiped System, Data, Chache, Dalvic with TWRP

Install Rom

Install Root

Install Gapps from start post

Reboot

Reboot took about 5 min, some app from google crashed a few times, can't remember which.

For RC1 I had to do a new clean install

RC2 worked as an update

Best regards

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] orangehk:
After using the rom for a day, it run pretty smooth and nice! Good job!:good:

Some Apps did FC and GPS is slower than JB for me.

But I'm using the underclocked kernel, may I ask what is the default frequency of the normal kernel?

Normal kernel isn't working on my Acro S, in the past I can only overclock it to 1.7 GHz.

I think a 1.7 GHz kernel will work on the device...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zappa_ba:
Thanks alot for the new version, downloading it as we speak..

Hope it does solve a few of the problems I have with RC2, like FC of apps after the phone has been used for a while. Solution to that problem is to restart the phone until next time it starts to happen... ;)

Will report back when RC3 is in the phone, guessing I need to make a scratch installation for it to work proper and not just a dirty flash...

@ DvDwx post #342

i flashed over the stock rom 4.1.2 and the bugs reported are not there but if i wipe everything then do a fresh installation then i get them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hemuwi:
I just installed rc4 as a dirty flash over rc3 and everything went well. This rc4 seems to be a lot smoother at fist glanze compared to rc3.

The button-led isue is still present (well actually it hasn't been stated to be fixed anyways).

Also I have not been able to activate google location services (it is grayed out in location settings) under powersaving mode in any of bpauls android L versions. Is this a bug or new thing in android? In kit kat (beanstalk and aosp) I was able to report my location just using wifi and mobile networks. It was really useful for example in local weather widget as I dont like to keep gps on all the time.

Anyway, keep up the good work this ROM is getting great!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriswalg:
I did just found a workaround. If use you O2/Fonic/Netzclub in Germany, you have to set APN-Setting MVNO-Type IMSI “no” or MVNO-Wert from 2620739 to 26207. Than should work internet on lolipop roms.

using Acro S Android 5.0.1 - Release V6

unfortunately I have less than 10 posts so I can't post at the right thread. I don't think that this is helpfull, because I would like to send some feedback for the Xperia Acros AOSP 5.01 Release V6.

Here's my 10 day experience with hikari-lrx21v-20141219.zip

- Core 1 goes up to 1.89 GHz. I like this and would be glad if I could flash a kernal with even core 0 has 1.89 GHz

- Bluetooth: My car radio (Ford S-Max) can be connected wih the phone and the phone rings if I get a call. But talking is not possible. I only hear a great white noise, no speech.

- The Android 5 photo camera: I'm not able to define a path for saving the pictures. They are all stored at the internal sdcard and I would like them to be stored at the externat card.

Anyway, thank you for the rom!!
