Internal Storage

First of all, I think this is one of the best rom for xperia S. but after flashing the rom I have noticed that the ROM modifies the storage's partition.

- 1.79 GB for internal storage and the rest (25.80 GB) for SD card. Knowing that SD card doesn't exist in this phone.

So right now I can't install new apps because of the memory.

Is it a bug or Did I make some mistake while flashing?

Widgets not getting added.

Whenever I install a weather app/widget, It doesn't appear in the widgets.

I tried Accuweather and some other apps. any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
sdcard means internal storage memory. if it shows ext-sdcard means external sdcard. You need to increase data partition since Lollipop uses ART which needs more app storage. You can do it from here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rrutk:
same for me.

had only:

-1 time the speaker was not working during alarm, only vibration

-cannot switch to a manually network search as default

-and 5 GHz WiFi is not enabled, but the chip is capable of that
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rrutk:
Widgets

All widgets work for me.

For weather I use Fancy Widgets - discontinued but good anyway.

The only widget which doesnt work is the stock weather widget from

original Sony Firmware (JB). I can install it, but doenst appear.

Bug report:

- 1 time a random reboot, but after heavy use

- 2 times loop of touchscreen input (blinking status bar, buttons, no way to input anything, needed to reboot), but maybe due of low memory

- 1 time camera failure ("no connection with camera"), needed to reboot

- no way to set "manual network search" as default

Can I flash this Rom on stock kernel .96 on acro s lt26w?

I have a twrp as well as cwm recoveries with stock Rom 4.1.2

Do this Rom have any major bug? Can anyone tell?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
ROM is meant for Xperia S, not Acro S. If You face any problems, most probably no one will be able to help You. Also, there might be a chance of You bricking Your phone.

I use it now for more then 2 weeks.

Nearly everything is working fine and stable, much better then stock JB ROM before.

Whatsapp getting killed/ push notifications delayed

As has been asked by many people on several other devices and roms, after going to deep sleep, whatsapp notifications and calls sometimes stop coming through. Only when I unlock the phone (or sometimes manually open whatsapp), all the notifications come at once. Is this a known issue on this rom? Is there a fix available?

I'm on test12. Have faced this issue in the previous versions as well.

Will also update to test 13 and report.

Root

Hi,

I installied Pure AOSP Lollipop test13 on my Xperia S, but Google play, Gmaps, Youtube and other Gogole aplications don't work. I sugest I should install Gapps, but how can I enter in recovery mod, the phone says isn't root. What should I do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I guess You didn't flash the SuperSU zip and gapps after flashing the ROM. Go here, Follow the instructions for lollipop. except steps no. 8,9,10.

Then after step 12, turn off Your phone instead of rebooting. Then extract the boot.img from the test13 zip and flash it using step no.6 .

If You don't want to complicate much, I would suggest following the entire procedure, thus performing a clean flash.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] desperadoes:
The file name in the link is: ''boot_carbon_3-11-14.img'' , but in the step the name is only ''boot.img'' is there a problem? I should copy this file in ''C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib"? After this in she same folder with shift to enter in comand prompt, I swith phone hold volume up and conect to cable, led is blue, write ''fastboot flash boot boot.img'' and there appear ''waiting for device'' and nothing. Should I switch the phone, where i wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You can rename the file to boot.img and flash it or You can run the command:

fastboot flash boot boot_carbon_3-11-14.img

Yes, copy it to the ''C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" folder.

Have You installed fastboot drivers? You can find them in drivers under Flashtool. Install drivers from there.

Else, You could flash the file by using flashtool too.Connect Your phone in fastboot mode, open Flashtool, select Lighting symbol> Fastboot mode> Select Kernel to flash. Done!

Sony Camera App

Does anyone have a stock Xperia camera app to flash/install that is confirmed to work on Lollipop?

I've looked into flashing Z2/Z3 cameras but both have resulted in being unable to boot the phone so had to recover. I'd very much like to have the stock camera back or at least the Z2/Z3 Sony app.

In case anyone wants the Sony keyboard back I was able to install Xperia Z3 keyboard by flashing Z3_LP_KEYBOARD.zip via recovery (search google for the file name).

Xperia S/nozomi : help flashing Pure AOSP lollipop

Hi there,

I'm sorry but I feel like I need some help with my LT26i.

I managed to get it working on a 6.2.B.0.200 firmware, rooted it, installed CWM using CWM6-cDM_v2.2-DooMLoRD-Xperia_S-JB.

Then I wanted to install Lolliipop found here : http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/pure-aosp-lollipop-t2940839

Started in recovery with CWM, wiped data, cache and Dalvik, installed the ROM then gapps found here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934542021

When I restarted, nothing happened : the phone slightly vibrates then only black screen : no logo, nothing.

I must admit I'm quite a newbie : the only time I installed a custom rom was on my xperia U.

Could some good samaritan get me out of troubles ?

Thanks a lot !

Did you unblock your bootloader?

If not then unlock it. You will find the method on xda itself.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akoine:
Well,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Spot on ! I think I actually missed this part. Fortunately, I had the IMEI code of the phone stored. I'm now using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527159 to unlock the bootloader and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again !

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

It doesn't seem to go well : first, i'm not sure as how I can unlock the bootloader since my phone doesn't seem to respond at all. Especially, nothing seems to happen when I connect it to my pc pressing the volume up button.

Second, I retrieved the unlocking code and a zip file containing fastboot. Then I get a command window and typed fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version (as mentioned in the tutorial)

Instead of a value returned, the only thing I get is "< waiting for device >"

The only thing the phone does while plugged in : the green led is switched off and on from time to time, and the phone plays a little sound, as if battery was stopping charging/charging again.

Looks bad, doc ?

A sign of hope : when flashtool is running, when I connect the phone a new line appears saying "Device connected in flash mode" ... It connects and disconnects every 30 sec or so :

13/013/2015 10:13:04 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode

First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.

In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Did you check this beforehand to make sure if the bootloader can be unlocked or not. If not you will have to flash the stock ftf again and check this. You can find the stock ftf over here. Flash it using fashtool.

If you are sure that the bootloader can be unlocked. Install the fastboot and adb drivers properly. Connect the device holding the volume up button and see if the pc recognizes the device in fastboot moce. Then proceed to unlock the bootloader.

[MENTION=5225941]vishals16[/MENTION]

No, I didn't check beforehand, and I'm unable to check it now, since the phone won't boot :(

I'll flash the stock 6.2.B.0.200 rom that was previously working and test if I can unlock the bootloader or not.

Thanks a lot and fingers crossed !

Update : Flashed the previous ftf rom 6.2.B.0.200, my phone is booting again. So thanks, you made my day ! :)

Checked the bootloader, is says "Bootloader unlock allowed : No". So I guess I can't unblock it.

Is there a way to flash lollipop then, or am I stuck with the latest ftf file I can found on firmwaremobile.com, which is LT26i_6.2.B.1.96 ?

Anyway, thanks a lot for resuscitating my phone !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You cannot flash lollipop with a locked bootloader. You need an unlocked bootloader for any rom which has an android version greater than 4.1.2 which was officially released by sony.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ra4oslav:
I really like this rom, but i have some problems with it...

Sometimes i can't unlock the phone (via button or double tap...). It's not respondig. After some period of time it works (the both methods), but it happens again. When i reboot the phone, the problem is solved (until again, after some period of time).

Today my alarm doesnt SOUND. When i woke up, i saw the phone...and the alarm was on (after 1 hour, but without sound). Sometimes i get error for the camera (it happends most when i want to take photos via Viber direct).

Here are the steps for my install.

Flash via flashtool the stock rom. (factory reset thrue the ROM, delete everything on the phone (this is my clean method for install :P)

After that via fastboot DoomLord (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2305591)

Via recovery (wipe cahche, dalvik) then pure_aosp_lollipop_test13.zip , GGAPS, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46, kernel_fix_speaker_in_call.zip.

And for recovery this:

1. Download TWRP version 2.8.4.1. from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/nozomi

2. Rename the downloaded file to fotakernel.img and place the file on sd card...the path should be s(Storage/sdcard)

2. Install terminal emulator app from play store to Mobile

3. open Terminal emulator and type the below commands correctly

su (press enter)

dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 (press enter)

Running pure_aosp_lollipop_test11

Hi, just wanted to report that I am very happy with the pure_aosp_lollipop_test11 for my XPeria S (LT26i) and don't had much trouble.

However I also had to install the PA GApps to get around some issues with the Google Play Service (maybe due to a left over?). Since then it is running quite stable, every day and night. I will probably check out to install test13.

The only thing that doesn't quite work seem to be GPS. Or better say GPS does work, but the smartphone regularly keeps on crashing (reboot) after a couple of minutes. Don't know where I can find the log or dump if one exist (if it would help to solve the issue). Anyway this crash reminds me quite a bit like the early GPS crashes I had with this device that were solved in one of the later official kitkat updates.

Except of that I only faced two times till now an issue with the screen start to flicker and become unresponsive as if like an invisible hand is on the touch screen, but a reboot fixed this problem and if I read the notes about test12 and test13 those may be entirely be resolved already.

thanks for this great ROM

3. If you do not answer a few calls or do not use the phone for a few hours, it hangs and doesnt let us unlock. I needed to reboot to make this work.

4. Doesn't catch data signals so well in roaming but this could be network /phone hardware issue.
