Sorry, I'm not able to open the launcher, please read my post. How can I install apk file without browsing to it?

Is there any option via settings to open an installed app? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
So you need to flash Bootlp.ing via ADB...

Edit: if you are not able to open launcher... Are you able to start terminal? I guess no?
[Sony Xperia L] Williamny95:
Got a bit of a question.

Okay guys, isnt there any way to repartition the Phone memory to just increase it's size?

because i'm afraid, this ART runtime om 5.0 just eats up huge amount of memory and after flashing and the rom ut only gives around 500ish MBs (unlike kitkat, which gave 700Mbs) to install the apps, which eventually fills up leaving only around 150-160ish MB and it goes down along with their runtime + cache as well and phone starts to suffer bad.

and as well as this Idiot Sony got this 8gigs Storage divided into internal and phone memory. unlike moto G's (2nd Gen) which i think has common memory pool :confused: :crying:

Add 'System Profiles' from

Change profile from quick settings panel, and the icon will disappear. You need to remove and add the icon again to show it back in notification drawer.

[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
So, I've been using CM12 Beta 6 w/ TZ 4.13 for about 4 days now, I installed it just like what I saw in forum, flash bootlp.img from TZ with fast boot then wipe everything(Clean to install new rom, Cache, Dalvik/ART cache) then flash CM12 Beta 6 > TKruzze's GAPPS > TZ 4.13 then reboot. Since I flashed this ROM, I've been getting alot of random reboots, usually it lags or freezes and then reboots, and sometimes I get BSOD (Sorry, the phone crashed blah blah). I've read that by not using zSwap, you won't get BSODs, can anyone clarify this? Also, how can I deactivate animations without turning on battery saving mode? Thanks a lot :)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
First of all look into phone Informations... Is your kernel really [MENTION=3896338]monsterma[/MENTION]schine?

You can deactivate zSwap by flashing tz from recovery and while installer asks you put it to 0% of RAM

To deactivate animations go to developer options... I cant say you how it calls exactly in english but its very to the end

Yes, it says:

I posted this on Thunderzap QA but I think I need to ask for help here too.

What does it mean to clean install a kernel and dirty install a kernel?

I never had a luck in thunderzap, when I installed thunderzap on cm 11 I always got Blue screen crash, without thunderzap it works good.

Now in cm 12 beta 6 It is necessary to install this kernel as it fix some reboot bugs but I got 1 problem.

When I am listening to music for a long time with headphones on, it crash, (spotify, built-in music app).

So I tried to to listen to music for long time without headphones it does not crash.

BTW my thunderzap settings is what the aroma installer recommends for lollipop but without zswap as I saw that it cause crash too but I think its not what causing my crash.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
A kernel cant be dirtyi stalled... The point is TZ isnt compatible in every Version for cm11 ... I guess you have installed inkompatible tz version
[Sony Xperia L] vlbg:
Yup, so I installed cm12 with tz 4.13 as most people said. everything is good except playing music with headphones as I stated.

Hey guys!

I wanna start by saying Varun you're awesome!

Now I have a few questions and I will be extremely grateful if someone finds the time to help me out. I have installed cm12 on my Xperia L(the first version) months back and now its in beta 6. So I wanna know if I can upgrade to beta 6 with all my data? Also, I keep seeing ThunderZap on the forum...is it a replacement for CWM? I tried searching how to flash it but I couldn't find any answers...I downloaded ThunderZap 4.7....can anybody instruct me regarding this? The reason I want to do these upgrades is because the bugs on cm12 beta 1 are driving me crazy haha...Also, i would like to know if theres any version of GApps with only essential apps...as my internal memory is always extremely low...can anyone guide me here?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Look into system/etc/Firmware/WLAN/prima

If there are not 3 files just Flash cm12 + tz again without any wipe... Seems like you missing some data.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

Im sorry but you have to save your data to PC and recover it later... Cause if you installiert beta6 without factory reset you will take the bugs with you

Steps:

1. BACKUP your data

You have More then 75℅ battery?

2.Download cm12 beta 6 + tz4.13 fron thunderzap.in/download

3. download gapps fron Herr

http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

Yes there is also a mini and pico Version just scroll down

4. put all in sdcard

5. reboot to recovery

(If your recovery is Brocken go to developer options activate root and use tzflash.apk

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/help/...12-taoshan-t2940223/post58549591#post58549591 )

6. do a factory reset + clean to install new rom + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache

7. without any reboot flash cm12 then gapps then tz4.13

8. reboot ....will take a while dont panic!

[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:

Storage on Xperia L

Hello,

first of all thanks for Lollipop on XperiaL.

I installed it and everything i can think of works perfectly.

The only thing that bothers me is the storage space.

My internal memory of the phone available is 1.57 Gb and the free space after i installed Chrome, Facebook, Wattsapp and some minor ones is only 341 Mb.

I cant move apps to sd (no available option for Chrome, Facebook etc.) and for those i have that option it gives me an error: no enough space on sd card although i have like 3.05 Gb free.

Is there a solution to this issue?

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

First of all, Thanks Varun for his Great work.

This version of CM12 is working great.

Following are the problems:

1) I've just one problem with this beta 6, that is whenever I leave phone in charging mode and if any mail or message comes and if I don't check that notification in around 2 minutes, the phone gets restarted automatically.

2) The sound quality is nothing against the Walkman player in original ROMs of Sony. It would be great if we can get same kind of sound quality back in CM12 ROMs.

I hope this would be resolved in next updates.

Thank you once again for the smooth and faster new ROM.
