cm12 bugs solution???

i have flashed your cm12 in xperia l device .It was awesome but i have some bugs how to solve them plz help me

BUGS :-1)when i am opening camera the phone offs and say phone crashed

2)flash light is not turning off :(
[Sony Xperia L] charlie9091:
Great ROM

This is the first ROM i flashed in my phone, and it is really awesome. i tried other roms too in few 2 days but cm12 is the best. Please get back the feature of transferring apps to SD
[Sony Xperia L] Jas123:
Its there in all kitkat roms for Xperia L.

Not sure what is causing this.

In call volume is too low and sometimes other user whom we are talking to, gets weird sound, as per his description something like an engine running in the background. It is not always, only sometime.

Another issue I found with many KK roms I tried is that GPS signal is little shabby, it looses signal frequently and takes lot of time to catch up. Did not face this issue with stock rom.

But overall good ROMs for daily use.
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
Hi ,

Yes they are bugs and Varun will fix it in future releases.

Temporary solution is:

1. Download Google camera and use that.

2. When you turn on flash light, to turn it off switch on camera and take photo with flash always on. it'll turn off after photo.

Hit "Thanks" if I helped.

To turn off the buggy flashlight, open camera and touch to focus in a dark environment, it will flash to focus and then turn off. If you are in well lighted environment, cover your camera lens with finger and then tap to focus (I am not sure who would turn on flashlight in well lighted condition, but still... :D)

guys need help.

hey guys i was on cm11 for xperia .. the fxp builds.

now i didn't check out the development for like 3 months and a lot has happened since.

cm12 and cm12.1 is out for taoshan. last i remember cm12 had some problems.

my question is .. which is more stable .. cm12 or cm12.1 ?

and how should i install it .. by what kernel ?
[Sony Xperia L] Oscarm99:
Cm 12 with tz 1.14 is the most stable for our xperia AFAIK
[Sony Xperia L] flameonfzn:
thanx but .. which kernel should i use to install ?
[Sony Xperia L] Oscarm99:
Use your kk kernel to flash cm12 and then flash lp kernel

Bootloop after entering CWM Recovery

I am facing bootloop after I enter CWM recovery for any reason. Today I flashed FM fix from recovery and then when I reboot....phone bootlooped 5-6 times. Then normal apps/desktop displayed.

This happened to me after taking a nandroid backup via CWM recovery too. Bootlooped at least 10 times before coming to normal.

I am on 04/30 nightly build clean install and TZ 4.14. Any idea what is causing this ?!!

Which version of CM and TZ are you using?
[Sony Xperia L] flameonfzn:
thanx man. i have successfully installed it on my xL. Also what is Ip kernel ? any link ? is the battery life good in it ?

Edit : the sound volume is crazy less in this rom. Any fix ?

Thanks man. I should've flashed my stock ROM before installing custom ROM. I will surely try this, and will update it here next weekend. Thanks again, you did great help.
[Sony Xperia L] Vinayakn73:
fresh installed cm-12-20150428-NIGHTLY-taoshan.zip still facing insufficient space problem. kind of battery calibration problem on 5% phone got switched off twice.
[Sony Xperia L] sgsvenkatesh:
I have that problem too. I think that problem gets solved only if you have a phone with better internal storage.
[Sony Xperia L] cyberwild:
newbie question: that can make device lag or something? or can make device faster before using andro 4?
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Well actually if you read forums, it's clearly written in guides by [MENTION=5422247]Joel16[/MENTION] and many others developers that you must be on latest stock firmware which is x.x.3.x.17.

Failure to do so means WiFi wouldn't work at all on any custom ROM.

Secondly, you can calibrate it using calibrate from playatore however, recently it is often argued if actually calibration is help at all or not!

Internal memory problems have also been addressed in general section. Kindly read

If you have any further query, please quote for a reply
[Sony Xperia L] Vinayakn73:
out of 4 gb only 1.5 gb is used rest is free still not able to update or download apps from play store
[Sony Xperia L] sgsvenkatesh:
Thanks for kind suggestions. Unfortunately, the guide I followed to install custom ROM, did not mention it as mandatory. I found [MENTION=5422247]Joel16[/MENTION] guide. Will root my device again coming weekend and will post the results here.

The issue is not about calibration but it is about not being able to use the complete internal storage for installing apps rather than being able to use only a part of it. I understand the part I am able to use is phone memory and the remaining memory is Internal Storage, but is there a way to club both the storage spaces and use their combined memory for installing apps, just like how high end phones like Nexus 5 do?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Yes, there are few guides about internal memory/storage in General section. Why don't you check them out and quote me about your experience . If you still think something's missing in the guided, I'd be happy to post a new detailed one but as far as I knowz the guides here are pretty extensive and good !

Can't change ringtone/flashlight not turning off

So I've been trying to change my ringtone from mp3 i have but everytime someone calls me it's still default system ringtone.

I tried moving .mp3 to internal storage or ringtone folder with no help.

It seems to me that our savior Varun Chitre has retired from working on the Taoshan, at least temporarily. I have seen his github profile and he has been working on other projects.

[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Well yeah technically it kinda is. He's obviously interested in developing for other devices. He hasn't give up on this device, but I'd say he has lost some interest lol.
[Sony Xperia L] cojocar.andrei:
So what the hell can we do? We cannot end with a cm11 that has two major bugs that are fixed in CM12 and CM12.1 and with a CM12 that crashes all the time. At least we should have a functional CM, weather is CM11 or CM12 I don't care. Oh ****, man. It's such a nice phone, what the hell... Hei varun, please continue supporting this phone, I don't know, but it seems to me that's such a small road to walk (solve the BSOD in CM12) or fix the CM11 stream ... Oh man ...
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Don't be so bossy, developers don't like that. The least we could ask is to get a stable build for lollipop. He's definitely dropped support for kit kat. Besides lollipop has come a far way than kit kat ever has. Right now this bsod issue and some other minor issues stand in the way. I don't except, nor want the next android version on this device. It would require a lot of work and might have some hardware limitations. Like for example the ram usage, most phones being released today are coming with 2gb or more ram. So I guess lollipop would be as stable as it gets for this device. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I'm just speaking of what would be the best. I might do some things later on with this device :) right now I'm busy with exams but once I'm done I'll setup my build environment and stuff. I have a decent knowledge with c/c++ just need to learn more about android OS.

Can anyone help me ?? want to install CyanogenMod on my xperia l (2104), made unlocking the bootloader and made the process:

- Power off the phone

- Reboot to recovery (vol up)

- Full wipe

- Flash rom zip

- Flash lollipop gapps zip

- reboot

but the device did not start anymore. (I'm currently reinstalling the original room through the Sony PC Companion). [Sorry for the ENGLISH, google translation]
[Sony Xperia L] Stronger1101:
Hi.

I recommend first of all flash the kernel thunderzap 4.14 and do wipes with this kernel.

Flash rom - gapps - kernel thunderzap 4.14 again and reboot. All this doing at that precise order.

Note: To enter recovery kernel thunderzap you press the volume down button when the led illuminates.

Good luck...

Hi everyone!

I'm having a strange behavior with my rom.

When the phone shut down for low battery, doesn't boot after plugging it on. :silly:

More specifics, when I plug it, I wait that the red light turn on, then, if I try to turn on the phone, appears the Sony logo, but instead of CM boot anmation, the screen show me an animation on battery recharging.

To turn on the phone and boot, I need to wait until the animation show m that the battery it's full charged (so I can't turn on my phone for 2 hours), or I need to enter the recovery (but the phone freeze on Sony logo), remove the battery and then the phone boot on CM12.

I think it's a little bit strange...:eek:
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Hey, when your phone shuts down immediately because of battery, just plug it in (don't turn on) and wait for the faint red led to disappear (or just wait until sony logo appears). Then plug off, wait for the battery screen to disappear and then turn it on and plug it in again.

Hope this helps, it works for me :)

Hello everyone.

I appreciate the effort put into this ROM. I'm on 05/02 now and there is a couple of issues that weren't mentioned in the changelog since.

1. Each time the phone starts, Settings app throws up an error and FC. Works okay afterwards.

2. Network geolocation works wierdly. It is very rare to see it use WiFi to position itself. Most of the time it is network-based only, even when WiFi is turned on or Always Search Wifi is set to true.
