Merry Christmas people!, i am currently on BETA 3 and my phone lags as i do Multitasking, RAM is about 340 MB Free on an average, so why my phone's lagging? Plus i have free Phone Storage of 350 MB, so technically my phone Shouldn't lag. I am using ThunderZap 4.10, i am using BFQ I/O Scheduler, CPU is clocked @1.2 GHz, Intelli_thermal is disabled, CPU Governer is "ondemand". Please help me with this issue and please suggest me a good I/O Scheduler as i don't know anything about it.

Thanks in advance! :)

[Sony Xperia L] gmsalomao2:
Some bugs

Problems Found:

CM 12 beta 3

-FlashLight not working well. Doesn't turn off after you turn on.

-Weird stuff started happining with the screen right after I reboot the device. I took some pictures. After that, the wifi stopped working.

-The wifi stops working randomly. I have to reboot a few times before it starts working again.

The wifi problem started happening in the CyanogenMod 11. I've reflashed many times. It doesn't get fixed. Not even in the new CM12.

WTF is happening???
[Sony Xperia L] startracker:
wait for updates
[Sony Xperia L] Akihikoryusuke:
Hell, yeah! thanks... waiting eagerly for the Beta 4 :D hope the camera has been fixed too ^^

Torch temp fix

>download any torch app and switch on /off
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
-use a 3rd party app for flashlight

-when wifi stops, try to turn on and off airplane mode. it should fix the problem.

you'll get use to the other things you mentioned.

is there a legitimate reason for you guys who want stock camera working this bad? what's wrong with Google Camera? I'm really wondering about it.
[Sony Xperia L] Akihikoryusuke:
Even Google Camera don't work for me
[Sony Xperia L] gmsalomao2:
Doesn't fix the problem =/

I've tried Wifi Connection Fixer, Wifi Fixer, FXR Wifi fix... Sometimes the last works. But not always.

[Sony Xperia L] ovetz13:
If something doesn't work you should restart the app until it does.

This is so nice. Everything works even better than cyanogenMod 11. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia L] nirmalbal18:
Everything is working smooth n fine but cannot move the apps to SD card and also not able to install apps from play store due to insufficient store issue..... :P

Plz help devs.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia L] aleksander002:
I am not a developer, but..

Use these gapps(tested by me, everything ok //Warning, it replaces AOSP Browser, SMS app, Launcher etc.): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001610398

Battery life seems good.

EDIT: Don't try to wipe internal storage from system level. It wiped my external MicroSD card too(12GB data lost)... :/
[Sony Xperia L] ua-Sp1DeR:
Wifi problem!

Thank You varun.chitre15 vor this AWESOME Rom!:good::good::angel: BUt my wifi still not working. Hot to get it work? Thank You
[Sony Xperia L] primemonitor:
So you have Google Now Launcher installed, right? Then try this: Go to Settings>Home, there must be 2 or 3 options - Launcher3, Now Launcher, etc. Select Now Launcher there. Should work. If it still doesn't work, try a different Gapps package, like this one: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/gapps?dl=gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip
[Sony Xperia L] Dinesh777:
Thnaks for this great work varun :)

First a big thanks to varun for this custom rom.

But after installing i have few issues.

Wifi is not working for me. Its working for stock android and cyanogenmod 11 but not in this version.

EvenThough my mobile is C2104, in 'About phone' settings its showing as C2105.

Unable to toggle between flashlight on/off.

Please help me guys, to make wifi working. I tried installing from Jellybean to lollipop (Doesnt worked) and then jellybean - cyanogenmod 11 - cyanogenmod 12

But nothing worked for me.

Please help :(

Hi, I cant get root acces for Titanium Backup. Superuser says, that root acces is allowed, but TB says, that cant get root rights :D

How to solve it?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia L] nirmalbal18:
Okie, Thanx

So, should i directly flash this zip file from the recovery without any wipes or not?

I don't mind about the AOSP Browser, SMS app, Launcher etc.

[Sony Xperia L] Wazzzzaaaah:
Tested the rom and as with cm11: wonderful, smooth and fast. It makes the phone useable again, compared to stock. Great job once again, Varun!

Sadly the in call mic distortion persists, as does the not functioning of the volume keys. Fingers crossed for a fix. If anyone knows where to adjust the microphone gain, let me know!
[Sony Xperia L] kufus:
It works, thanks!
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
For camera pls install Google camera AND do a wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache... Worked to most people ...

For wifi disable automatic Frequenz and use 2,4ghz or 5ghz instead worked for most ppl

For screen issue... It appears mostly once after reboot and has something to do with simkit... You cant fix it on your own wait for beta4 ...

Just to remember: this is beta not stable..

[MENTION=5774580]startracker[/MENTION] :

Pls work together with varun(pm him ) and dont post about roms you have made from bis Roms... Thats not verry british... Pls pm him
[Sony Xperia L] Aurielle:
Hello, a very basic question from a not very experienced user here. I have had stock ROM till this point, after bootloader unlock should I flash the included boot.img and will I get recovery by doing that? Thanks for reply and sorry to bother.

edit: never mind, figured it out, as it does provide the recovery
[Sony Xperia L] AFN:
Can someone upload mms.apk from beta 2 build.

I have slow internet and it's gonna be difficult to download a whole build just for one app
[Sony Xperia L] gmsalomao2:
Just flash the mmsfix.zip that was posted earlier.

The mms.apk is inside the folder 'customize', if you want just the file.
[Sony Xperia L] gmsalomao2:
Ring volume is the same as Notification volume.

Is there any way of changing that myself?
[Sony Xperia L] Aurielle:
I've managed to install the ROM and I have a couple questions:

- How often do you encounter BSODs? I had one after fiddling with guest icon from the status bar settings, terrible experience...

- Does Chrome also force close/not work? Can anything be done about this?

- I have persistent (or so it seems) location icon in the status bar, turning off location doesn't get rid of the icon, though it wasn't there after first boot. Any ideas on that?

- How bad of an idea is to uninstall few gapps through Titanium?
[Sony Xperia L] AdiGurjar:
1- I encounter a BSOD when trying to open the stock camera app in BETA 3, else the phone runs normal without any BSODs.

2-For me Chrome force closed on first boot, then i flashed thunderzap 4.10 and thereafter chrome ran like a charm without any issues.

3-Try rebooting the device after switching off the location, it should solve the problem, or go in to settings and see for "Location" and make sure it is off.

4-Why do you want to uninstall GApps?, Just Flash Micro GApps as it has minimum google apps. Although you can uninstall the apps like Google+, Hangouts, Google Search etc.:)

Farewell! :)
[Sony Xperia L] Stronger1101:
Hi

Has not adjusted the OTA function, I think

Send from my C2104 using XDA Premium HD app
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
This ROM is still in beta stage. you'll start getting OTA once it becomes official.

So I think OTA will be adjusted after CM12 becomes official.
[Sony Xperia L] razer646:
NavBar Tweaks

is there any way to tweak the navigation bar dimensions? i think the current 48p height is little too much for the 4.3 display..

something like that given in Liquid Smooth 5.0.1 ROM? not complaining or comparing..but that would be good addon..
[Sony Xperia L] Deanwinchester007:
Thank You

I didn't knew that so thank you for telling me....
[Sony Xperia L] SmartCool:
Other problem is My Camera Button is now no more on work ...becoz there is no more use of this button... Please aloow us to open camera with camera button !! We i can take pic from camera button but it will be better of i can open my camera from camera button !!
[Sony Xperia L] Aurielle:
Thanks for the reply! Few more questions then :)

- What camera app would you recommend?

- Can I somehow get rid of the 'big' GApps to flash the micro version, or do I need to reflash the ROM?

- Does partitioning the external SD card still work to enable more space for apps? (I have done this only on my old ZTE Blade) I'm struggling 'not enough space' messages.
[Sony Xperia L] Alyon82:
Hi,

i installed: [ROM]{DEVELOPMENT} CyanogenMod 12 | taoshan | Beta 3 - 09 Dec 2014 - cm-12-20141208-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan (my sony xperia L )

1 - camera crash

2 - sms and hangout crash

:|

pls fix.

thnx
[Sony Xperia L] AdiGurjar:
1-Use Google Camera as it is the best Camera App out there!

2-Yes reflash the rom if you want to or delete Google apps one by one with titanium backup and then flash the smaller GApps. (I would recommend reflashing the ROM as i haven't tried the Titanium Backup method.

3-Likewise, i am also facing the storage problem, it isn't an issue or a bug its just the ART (Android Run Time) replacement for DALVIK which make apps to take more space and more time in installing, the extra space taken is a code compiled when you install an app, ART increases Performance but gives storage problems. And I haven't tried Partitioning External SD Card yet, you can try it by referring to several articles related to PARTITIONING and MEMORY SWAPPING.

Farewell! :o:)
[Sony Xperia L] Antimartonad:
Happy With it...

Using Beta 2 and it's really awesome.... Everything is working fine... Camera too.... Only problem that I'm facing is the DIALER apk sometimes force closed... And Importing from SD card is not working.... Though this is not that kind of serious problem.... But I'm really happy for this ROM... Best and Best ROM I've ever used.... Thanks to Varun Bro for his greatest effort.....

Beta 3 WiFi fixed

It takes around 10 secs to connect but after that its stable:thumbup::thumbup::)

[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
WiFi Beta 3

Dude I just saw your video, this thing already happens with Varun's build. First it connects, then disconnects after 2-3 seconds then it connects again after about 5 seconds, then it stays stable. I mean no disrespect to you or your work, I just wanted you to know because the thing already occurs with the beta 3 provided by Varun. If you want I can post the video of my WiFi as well.

Again, I mean no disrespect to you or your work!! :D
[Sony Xperia L] startracker:
Its not fluctuating after connecting ,

In cm connection was getting lost after every 3 to6 mins its stable now

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

You can see previous posts it was fluctuating
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
I think it happens with some devices, it doesn't fluctuate or disconnect with me (It does in the beginning, like in your video. But it gets stable then) I connect to my WiFi every morning at work and it stays connected till late evening and I use my phone every now and then..
[Sony Xperia L] startracker:
If we want to talk about difference in two roms the in my ROM screening effect is kicked out!

[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
Why are you getting angry bro?? I'm just telling you that the video you posted, the Wifi behaves the same way with me like it did in your video.. I don't mean to disrespect you..
[Sony Xperia L] startracker:
I am not angry :)
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
Is the Screening Effect fixed??? If that is... Kudos brother!! You gotta contact Varun so that you 2 can implement that in CM 12..
[Sony Xperia L] startracker:
Hmm
[Sony Xperia L] LucasTT:
Can someone tell which rom is more stable for daily use? CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies(the last update was august) or the last beta from this rom(CyanogenMod 12)?
[Sony Xperia L] luckyruls:
CM12 beta 3 works perfectly

A great ROM, it runs smoothly apart from a few problems like messaging app error (hangout app is working fine), startup screen bug. And also during the call the loudspeaker volume is extremely low even after setting the volume to full (anyone else having the same problem?)

Thanks to varun.chitre15 for this awesome ROM. Looking forward to the beta 4. :good:

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Im not sure about the CM11 Nightlies because i haven't used it but currently using the CM12 beta 3 for my daily use, haven't had any real problems so far.:)
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
It depends.. If you like and want to use Lollipop use this, if you don't mind using kitkat, use the UNOFFICIAL CM11 from FXP, its last update was in late November, and they continue to make weekly updates

FXP link: fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/ and download for taoshan

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

If you want to use ROM for daily driver, CM 11 is more stable than CM 12, The loudspeaker and startup screen bug is also in CM 11 but not that tedious. The messaging app error can be fixed with flashing the mmsfix.zip in the post below

[Sony Xperia L] igohenrique:
Is anyone else facing the same problem I am? The phone sometimes freezes completely and reboots automatically after 10 min or so. Sometimes I'm just on whatsapp or seeing snapchat. If I don't want to wait, I have to pull out the battery, and often it causes WhatsApp to corrupt its database.

Stock kernel here. Should I just do a clean install again?

Google Music Player

Hail!

I am using the version 2 of the ROM... Everything´s fine, excellent I may say... But, since two days ago, the music player by google close suddendly... I turn off the device, updated the player, no matter what, I hear two or three song, and closes... Anybody knowns any reasons, or any solution?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Force closing of applications was a mayor bug in beta2 .... Use beta 3 with mmsfix and google camera and you will have a really good and nearly stable rom

hi [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION]

here are some problem to be solved !

1. Wifi is not working totally fine .. my wifi is getting on and connection getting started but after sometime it's goes back .. and nothing connected !!

2. Problem using internet with sim card ... i m getting H+ network on my phone .... i m not able to open any webpage or playstore etc.. !

3. in network mode or type there is no WCDMA Only option !! so if i am in low network area then i m not able to access 3g ... becoz WCDMA PREFER Option is avoiding low 3g network !

4. There is problem in Contact .... contacts are geting deleted randomly !!

5. Some thing problem While Recording Voice Call ....in a third party call recorder aap when i try to recorde my call using voice call option ... i m not able to use it and i m getting error !!

6. screen is getting freez mostly time !!

7. Applications are taking too much memory ... before in stock rom i was using around 160 applications ... with all stock app !! but in current ROM i m able to use only 130 applications ...! excluding my favorite apps !

i have seen in Link2sd ... my internal memory is divided in 3 part !!

1. Internal

2. SD Card

3. System

now all apps are installing by default in Internal Storage .. and if we move our all internal storage app to SD Card ... then we are able to use 130 apps !!

and if i move all internal app into system storage then we are able to use around only 90 apps ... becoz when we move any file into system storage then it's takes only less storage of system and all heavy files still stay on internal storage !!

so if it possible that we can move all devided storage into only 1 storage then it will be fine ..

atleast INTERNAL & SD CARD should be only 1 storage .. it will be perfect !!
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
Dude the WiFi has some jitters but it does connect after having connection problems in the start.. Just close and then reopen WiFi.. It might temporarily solve your issue. And change the frequency to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz from WiFi settings. It has resolved some people's problems with WiFi

Dial *#*#4636#*#* for changing to wcdma only

I've not gotten any contacts issue nor any freezing problems.

As lollipop's default runtime now is ART it compiles the app for running more efficiently, so it does take more memory by default.. That is not the ROM's bug or anything!!
[Sony Xperia L] therishabh:
does anyone know a way to optimise ART consumed device memory.........I really miss installing all my favourite apps and games......please guide
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
No way to optimize really. Try clearing ART/Dalvik cache every once and a while, install CCleaner (1 MB app!) and clear application caches every other day.. Also try moving apps to SD Card. Delete apps like Google+, Hangouts etc(If you don't use them!!) by using System app removers on Google Play.

This is all I know!!
[Sony Xperia L] therishabh:
thanks for trying...but i have already done all this....still can't install as many apps like in cm11
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
I don't think there is any other way... I did try Googling for more solutions, but this ART takes in alot of memory.. Maybe that's why Nexus 6 starts with 32 GB
[Sony Xperia L] startracker:
Yes ,internal memory is an issue in leagecy devices for best performance give a factory reset and then start using device that's the best technique
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
I know that would fix it, but I'll wait for the next beta to reset..
[Sony Xperia L] rafaelnfontoura:

2. Chrome keeps crashing. All the apps are working good.

3. Wi-Fi not working.

And how can I root the phone, I flashed CWM of PhilZ version without rooting. Did I do anything wrong??
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
The torch is a known issue.. The chrome app problem can be fixed by reinstalling it or clearing its cache. The WiFi is also buggy but it can be fixed by toggling it on, off when you try to connect it. It take about a couple seconds to connect.. But it stays stable after it. The ROM is pre-rooted.. You should see Superuser in settings..

Problems

I'm using your Beta 3 of CM12 build date 8th Dec 2014 and facing the following problems:

- WIFi signal drops randomly, WiFi direct refuses to work; so apps like SuperBeam or Xender don't work, or work only one way: We can send stuffs but can't receive them.

- Bluetooth works partially: sometimes files can be sent/received but sometimes doesn't.

-Flashlight toggle refuses to turn the flashlight off after turning it on.

-Camera app crashes on lockscreen

-Wake up on lockscreen results in slow redraw while on charge (this happens occasionally).

Kindly look into these!
