usb mass storage work on this rom?
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Thanks a lot! TWRP didn't work. Just stayed on the TWRP blue screen and kept flashing a dark screen at intervals. The Philz recovery work perfectly.

BTW, there's a FC in 0303 and onwards (Vibrator intensity). Didn't find this to happen in 0228... Thunderzap control app still works though.
[Sony Xperia L] hemantvaswani:
clean install

hi,

to carry out the clean install, if we run following fastboot commands,

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase data

fastboot erase cache

will the above 3 commands suffice the objective of clean install, if yes, then what will be the next steps to proceed with installation of tz.4.14, tz control and cm12 taoshan

please advise.

thanks and regards
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Hmm, Yeah, that should do. Then, extract the boot.img from thunderzap's zip and place it in your fastboot folder. Execute, fastboot flash boot boot.img . Make sure that thunderzap's zip is on your sdcard along with cm12. Boot your phone. Hit volume up on the purple light. Flash cm12 followed by thunderzap 4.14. Done. Flash gapps if you need.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
are you on 2.28 atm? could you check if there is a folder etc/fm/ ? if yes please send me as zip
[Sony Xperia L] Luigi.Musti:
OK, but with CM kernel again you can't set personal ringtone (I need to install Thunderzap after every nightly update).
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Just extracted all contents of 0228 on my PC. I don't see any such folder under /system/etc/. Anyways, in some time, I'll clean install my phone by flashing stock ftf and then installing 0228 without gapps and report to you if I find anything under /etc/ or /system/etc/. ^.^
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
maybe it is not there at all...i just was looking to it as logcat wanted it ...

03-14 12:13:59.157 E/ (7103): file name is: /etc/fm/fm_srch_af_th.conf

but maybe this is a package within fm... or can find ind the app folder...

Some bugs

Can somebody trying out post-20150305 nightlies confirm the status on these bugs?

1) Flashlight can't be turned off from quick settings pulldown menu

2) Terminal application has no special keys (Control+C, etc.)

3) Sliding through pages in app drawer is not smooth

4) Cast screen does not detect cast devices

5) Cellular data icon on the quick settings pulldown menu shows mobile data usage on touch, instead of toggling on or off

6) Using HDR with default camera freezes the application

7) In-call echo problems

Thank you very much!

[MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION] I have the same issue with Wi-Fi as Lionheart. I had Wi-Fi in some of the Betas but I went back to stock because of poor camera quality. Sometimes I could find Wi-Fi networks and connect and sometimes not. When I enabled Wi-Fi my phone would reboot over and over something like five times and after that WiFi was enabled and I could connect.

When I saw that Beta 7 had reached 95% camera quality I went back to cm12 and started flashing nightlys. Phone was no longer rebooting when turning Wi-Fi on but never was I able to find networks and connect.

I saw Lionheart having similar problem so I updated my Flashtool to newest version and flashed the JB TFT that you linked. Currently using it now but still can't enable Wi-Fi, atleast phone is not rebooting when trying to do so.

I will test pulling battery out for 30mins today and the headphone thing and also relock bootloader with TA Backup, but how can I do that without having backed my original TA before I unlocked it via ADB and Sony unlocked code?

Thanks alot for your Support.
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Attached below. Pullout from 0228.

I don't experience any FC in Vibrator intensity with thunderzap 4.14 on 0228. I'll install TZ after updating to 0303 and report back in a bit.
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Wait up. Uploading...

Yeah, that is because apps are on the Sdcard. Happens on Google Now Launcher too. I just used Xposed to lock desktop(XGELS). You can also use quicker alternatives such as Nova Launcher.
[Sony Xperia L] mahmood9:
i have a usb mass storage ( a flash memory that connect from usb port on phone) , but storage not found so i test that on a samsung note4 and a htc phone, that work fine. what i should do?

Do you mean OTG Pen Drive? OTG is not supported by Xperia L without an external power source. And I doubt that this rom supports even that. Have a look here - [Guide][Video] USB OTG Support For Sony Xperia L

Wifi is not getting on

Today I installed cm-12-20150305-NIGHTLY-taoshan (first custom rom ever for my C2104) and it is working good except that the wifi is not getting on. Here is what I did (after unlocking bootloader): -

Flashed tz 4.14

Selected wipe option (in the recovery) for installing a new rom

Installed cm-12-20150305-NIGHTLY-taoshan

Installed pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-20150307-signed

Reboot

Wifi not getting on

2/3 reboots... wifi still not getting on

Reverted to Sony 4.1.2 stock fw... wifi worked good

Flashed tz 4.14, Installed cm-12-20150313-NIGHTLY-taoshan and pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-20150307-signed

Wifi still not getting on

Again flashed tz 4.14, Installed cm-12-20150313-NIGHTLY-taoshan and pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-20150307-signed

Wifi still not getting on

As advised by some member in this thread to some other guy with similar problem, this time (without wipe) installed cm-12-20150305-NIGHTLY-taoshan, pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-20150307-signed and tz4.14

Wifi still not getting on

There is no wifi mac address anywhere to be seen.

Now I've run out of ideas. Most of you are getting this to work good. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Well, that's odd. That happened once. Getting to stock and starting over, fixed it. Try this, flash stock ftf, lock bootloader by restoring ta, then unlock again. You'll be now in a bootloop. Flash this boot.img - http://www.4shared.com/file/857O65_Dce/boot.html Factory data reset, wipe cache and Dalvik Cache. Don't wipe system. Now, use this to flash just CM12 and GApps. Reboot, and see if the Wifi works. (This is exactly what I did when I had this issue. Btw, I installed a pretty old FTF and let it update to the latest one itself. Then, all this.) If it does, dump a FOTARecovery and flash ThunderZap. Could you also provide some logs?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:

[Sony Xperia L] yogeshm.007:
Did all the above (plus also installed latest stock fw after unlocking bootloader again and also had to flash gapps again since first time it crashed all the time) and it is working now. That boot.img was handy; saved it for future!

Curiously, when I checked the wifi mac address, it was different from what it was in the stock fw. Is it dynamically created or same for everyone using this rom? Is it possible to use stock wifi mac address - I have it noted?

What is the significance of FOTARecovery? Stock cm kernel seems to be just fine, is tz really necessary (I'm not looking for overclocking it or going to tinker with its settings)?

This is specially for the rom developer

Thanks for working on this rom.

Is the data partition (i.e. what is shown as ~1.5 GB) and usb storage partition (i.e. what is shown as ~2 GB) part of same physical device? If yes, is it possible to merge data and usb storage into one partition OR resize them to make data partition bigger and usb storage to minimal size (hence microsd card will remain as the only usb storage)?
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
I think the Mac address is dynamically created but obviously, I could be wrong. If anyone could confirm that, it would be great.

The CM Recovery is not capable of flashing all types of zips. I think the only zip I was able to flash was the one SuperSU flashes to update binary. Thus, its better to have cwm or twrp. The recovery is working from your kernel, that is the boot.img. Hence, if you install another kernel such as thunderzap, you'll get cwm. However, an ota update contains the original cm boot.img and if the device reboots from cwm without reflashing thunderzap, you're gonna be stuck with cm recovery which cannot flash TZ.

Thus, if you use a FOTARecovery, the recovery is dumped to the FOTA Partition directly and anything you do(ota,thunderzap,anything), you'll still have your recovery. Trust me, its handier than the boot.img

Thunderzap is not necessary. It's just for over clock, a few performance improvements, etc. However, I've noticed that the phone gets more unstable. I'm on 0303 with stock kernel and a FOTA Recovery, and I haven't had a single BSOD yet.
[Sony Xperia L] saeed74:
after 1 month of use, i'm facing with a lot of lags, hangs, crash etc.

i has a clean install and only important application are installed like gapps, instagram, facebook, massenger, whatsapp, viber, tapatalk, pinterest and some more.

i even face lag in my home and settings menu!

do xperia L is weak to run Lollipop? or some thing else is wrong.!?
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Try overclocking maybe. If you don't wanna overclock, my suggestion is enable the quick settings tile named battery mode. Because, if you go to settings and performance and set your phone to performance, it'll change governors to performance. When you are low on charge and enable the battery saver, you end up in the governors - powersave which is real slow. On unplugging, you're back at ondemand governors.(Balanced mode)CM12 is still being developed. Its not yet perfect. Also, Viber takes a LOT of memory (Ram). I have all my shiftable apps on the sdcard (internal storage) and force moved some more to the sdcard. I don't experience many glitches or lag except when its Charging. I don't use thunderzap currently.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:

Hi,

No, you won't lose data each week.

What you can do is, once update arrives, flash the zip directly without clearing data. After flashing clean cache and ART cache.

You won't loose data this way.

I have just installed this rom and made just a few calls; no echo so far (C2104), though in-call volume seems a bit low.

I used to get it on stock fw, usually when the other person was on Xperia Neo V (CM11); but even then its occurence was very low - like 5 out of 100 or even less. Need much more time for this rom to check whether this happens or not.

PS: I got this rom working yesterday. Before that I wanted Lollipop but was skeptical since I was in love with Sony apps and overall look of it (only me?). But ever since this rom is up and running, I'm loving it. Let's see how it feels in the long run! :good:
