Thanks Meter: 0 2 posts Join Date: Mar 2014 More "This package is for "c2104",...,

Hi guys! Great ROM! So, given that both this ROM and Cyanogenmod are still in Beta I decided to flash CM 11 which was more reliable (since the device would sometimes randomlpower off when locked. To my susurprise, when I went into Recovery again I found that CWM was now replaced with Cyanogen's Recovery. I tried flashing CM 11 and after.getting the error in the title I decided to flash the Stock rom using Flashtool. Now, I can't get to install CM 11 nor CM 12 or any other ROM since I'd always get an error (CWM displays Status 7 or Status 6. I tried modifying user-script in META-ININF/com/google/android but I still get those errors. Help mme, please, I'm stuck at Sonys buggy Stock JB

Hi,

First of all I would like to Thank to Varun Chitre and all the associates for making this wonderful ROM.

I have few operational problems, seems like they may not be happening with all the users of this ROM, please suggest how to minimize or resolve

1. in case if phone is charging through AC power and re-boot or power ON is done, it only goes up to showing the battery charging status in %, only after removing the power charger, it requires more than once to press power button to boot, once it starts booting then only i need to connect the power cable for charging.

2. during power charging using AC Power, the response on display panel for any selection, like unlocking, no. search etc is very unstable, requires to select twice-thrice or more or may un-plug from charging and do the needful. i am using only Sony make original charging connectors. in stock it never used to happen.

3. not related to this ROM, apps once moved to SD card, and if shortcut exists on home screen often get disappeared after a re-boot, any way to avoid this. in case of whatsapp after every re-boot the setting of "unchecked" show notifications also gets reset.

4. if internet is not used(disabled data) say for 5-6 hours, so enabling the data does not bring in the internet connectivity, i need to re-boot to get it. especially in night i switch off the internet, in morning the moment i switch it on, it wont come back untill i make a reboot. please advice here..

.

Thanks and Regards

Is there any workaround for the bluetooth audio not working?
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Well I use cm12 BETA 6 and it is as stable as cm11. Yeah, some bluetooth issues and play store fc's but for normal use it is just perfect. Try to install thunder zap 4.13 and do not overclock (it should solve random reboots too). With recommended settings of kernel the baterry lasts for two days with normal usage.. That never happended on CM11 to me.
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
in the previous builds varun.chitre has added a property which takes original MAC address from hardware. But in this build my MAC address is not true it is 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff Is there any way to return original MAC address or do we have to wait next build ?

Thank you Varun!For all your hard work....but I have a question should I use thunderzap 4.13 or will 4.14 with support for beta 7 be out soon?

Thanks.

I'm afraid I coudn't find the link, can you direct me to it? Thanks for answering!

Thank you so much varun. you are the best! Please give us a chance to use our own Wifi-Mac address for the next build.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
No, flashing old kernel will create new bugs, so DON'T flash it. ThunderZap will be updated to 4.14 in few days.

Well, I went on to install CWM 6 on my phone and after that diabled the signature check but I'd still get the Status 7, installed ThunderZap anyways and almost hard bricked my phone (got it back to life with Flashtool), I might give up now, I prefer the stock ROM to a broken device, I just wanted CM 11 so bad :(

I'm making this post to thank [MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION] for his kindness and willingess to help a complete stranger from across the globe, you really made my day I probably woud have never fixed this myself, thanks again, what an awesome community!
[Sony Xperia L] lleuname:
As I understood, varun said that if we flash the beta 7 without TZ 4.14, we could bring bugs with us...

But you say it's safe.

So...

Can I wipe everything and flash it or should I wait for the new TZ. (really, I'm confused... ?)
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
It is safe to flash beta 7 without thunderzap but you will be stuck with cyanogen recovery which cannot flash zips.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Beta 7 will run with its inbuild kernel... That may have some bug (dont know if varun fixed screen scan ) but it will run better than beta6 with stock kernel.... if you are not sure wait 1 or 2 days for tz4.14... ;)

Gesendet von meinem C2105
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
But thunderzap usually brings a lot of bug fixes and beta 6 had random reboots on stock kernel and the kernel in beta 7 seems to be the same size so I'm not sure if anything was fixed.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
[MENTION=6447717]Jerome Matthew[/MENTION] There are no reboot issues anymore. Stock kernel runs pretty fine if you ask me.

No scanning effects either [MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION]

They're merged into stock kernel so of course we wont have them anymore :) Camera running nicely as well!
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
I think I'll try it out...only thing is that I'm so used to over clocking to 1134mhz
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
There is one problem however, any gapps package I use force closes at the CM12 set up wizard constantly making it unusable. At first I tried CM12 by itself, and then when I went to re-install with gapps this happened. I tried PICO PA gapps, it installs but causes a bunch of google apps to force close constantly. I had to flash stock ftf, and do it all over. I tried Banks gapps and minimal gapps 5.0 but they fail to install on TWRP. I read somewhere this is caused by Selinux apparently. Has anyone got through this?

I'm trying to flash this via TWRP from stock 1.17. <- Don't know if this makes a difference.
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
You had to go back to stock ftf cause of no recovery?
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Exactly. And I can't get any of these gapps to work lol
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
This is why I will wait for thunderzap hopefully it will fix this issue.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Nevermind guys I figured it out. To overcome that problem I had to flash stock FTF (1.17), then flash bootjbcwm.img through flashtool. After that, I entered recovery flashed thunderzap 4.1.zip and booted to system. After it booted fully, I turned off my phone and went back on recovery. From here (on CWM) I used the factory rest option, then wiped both cache and dalvik cache. Then went under mouts and wiped system. Now I proceeded onto flashing the ROM, and then the gapps .

I believe that's the most cleanest way possible to flash. Running smoother than ever :) I prefer stock kernel over TZ, just my opinion for stability.

Edit: I will create an all in one detailed Lollipop guide soon. This will hopefully prevent users reporting 'already fixed' bugs, or bugs appearing from dirty flashing.
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
Earlier when gapps was crashing had you wiped system?
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I did, I'm guessing it had something to do with TWRP. It wouldn't even let me install banks gapps. It would say failure, whereas CWM didn't.
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
But cwm based recoveries (cwm and philz) are recommended for some installations.

I personally always use philz

BETA 7 here...

I've installed the BETA 7, and notice that the build-in launcher does not allow me to change the apps draw grid (as you can see bellow). I believe that with Google's launcher may solve it.

It's 6x5 now. Used to be (5x4).

I also noticed that the app Camera FV-5 started working again. :)
[Sony Xperia L] sutt2m:
I did say I followed the instructions to the letter if you had read my post properly!

I have uninstalled and gone to Omnirom 4.4.4 nightlys... Very stable and loads of features, I may come back when the Rom grows up a bit but its got a long way to go.
[Sony Xperia L] cascabel:
with the new build having selinux enforced, we will still be able to set it to permissive, won't we? i've had multiple issues with it in the past (with linux) and i don't want to have to go through that again. :)

thanks in advance for the answer.

Beta 7 review(10hr+ usage) :-

The Rom is as smooth as the previous one. The camera works much better like stock. Bluetooth fixed. BT Tethering works perfectly.

Still i notice few bugs,

1. My contacts keep disappearing.. I have to import the contacts every now and then.. What could be the reason?

I face this bug since the first beta..

I always clean install the Roms.. No luck..

Anyone else facing it?

2. Flashlight in notification drawer.

3. Not finding location toggle in the lockscreen pulldown.

4. App drawer grid size.

5. Incall volume.

That is all. If anything else pops up ill let you guys know. Overall, Great work [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] . If you are visiting Hyderabad pm me.. We'll have a beer together. :D I'll be sending a donation soon. Have a great day!
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
1. Something's wrong from your side. Its working just fine here. Once imported they never disappear, at least for me they don't. I wonder if it could be a problem with your backup file (.vcf)

2. Don't wanna try it, can't be bothered. But I heard turning on flash in your camera can turn it off.

3. It's there, right next to the flash light. Once you press it you can select either battery saving mode, high accuracy or device only. If you look on top there is a toggle to turn it off completely.

4. App drawer grid size has something to do with cyanogenmod. I doubt varun has anything to do with it.

5. That's a classic lol. It used to be annoying on kit kat. But now its not much of a issue since there isn't any echo or anything while calling anymore.

Anyways I suggest you try clean flashing again. Use my guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59109245

How to Clean Install CWM 12 on Xperia L

Hello.

I have never rooted or upgraded Android ever before and I want to install [ROM]{DEVELOPMENT} CyanogenMod 12 | taoshan | Beta 7 - 26 Feb 2015 for my Xperia L phone. I tried looking for such a method on the official thread here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/orig-development/rom-development-cyanogenmod-12-taoshan-t2940173 and also on this thread but didn't find it.

I want to do a clean install as I've read on the above thread that clean install gives less or no problems. So can someone kindly guide in a very detailed manner (since I'm new to this) how to do it? I tried searching on YouTube and I came to this video which says to

first root my device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs7SBPcVpjY

then unlock boot loader https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdMUjOrAD1M

then install CWM recovery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoyUIwc5vho

and finally install CWM Mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoyUIwc5vho

But since the videos are old (considering the fast development of the Android scene), and since I'm new to this, I'd like to first get a nod from the community if I should go ahead with the above method or is there a different way to clean install CWM 12 Mod?

PS: I do NOT intend to save or backup anything or any setting from the previous phone. I wish to have a completely clean and formatted experience.

Thank you for your time and help, I appreciate it.

Kind Regards.

It is little strange that ppl in QA are only interested in display and camera, what about the basic functionality of the phone? If voice is not clear it is difficult to use.
