[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
It seems some of you have confusion regarding the usage of TZ4.13.

Its true Varun said not to use it, but again, its one of the way out to install nightlies if you don't want to mess with the updater-script in the zip.

I will first write the procedure, then I will explain (in as easy way as I can) -

Procedure

Download a nightly (obviously).

Then, turn off your phone, connect in fastboot mode, flash TZ's bootlp.img.

Then boot into recovery mode, then it should be a familiar scenario.

But some of you think that it will bring bugs, but, sadly, or should I say happily, NO, it won't bring ANY EXTRA BUG yet (or atleast it should not bring).

What actually happens is -

I am considering you were on a kernel that came bundled with a nightly, so current scenario -

Cyanogen Recovery + CM Kernel

When you flash TZ's bootlp.img, scenario becomes -

Philz Touch + TZ Goodies (as TZ bundles Philz Touch Recovery)

But since you then boot into recovery, you see Philz, and hence you flash the nightly.

Now in the ROM zips, you will find a boot.img bundled, and in its Updater Script, you will find a command which flashes that boot.img. (When the progress bar in Philz increases to 75% as it seems from updater script command, flashing of that boot.img starts).

So after flashing nightly, scenario becomes -

Cyanogen Recovery + CM Kernel

Which was the same you started off with.

So if you flash TZ to install a nightly, it won't affect you.

But after that, if you flash TZ, be ready for bugs.

Story is different if you use TWRP, its written directly in the recovery partition, so its not easy to remove unless you flash Stock.

Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

It was made for beta 3 I guess (the mmsfix.zip), so it should not work with nightlies, try a Clean Install.

Open your CM file manager, go to settings and enable root access. Then go to this folder /system/priv-app/Mms

and put the apk in the link provided into that folder and reboot..

Battery drain

Updated to CM12 march 04 nightly, no wifi and signal so flashed TZ 4.13, both worked, but heavy battery drain.

90% to 40% in 5 hours without wifi, location or Bluetooth. Just one call for 3 mins made. :eek:

Stats show cell standby using 50% battery
[Sony Xperia L] paulogracioli666:
Apparently this bug is fixed in next build "taoshan: tune speaker volume" is in changelog for the next nightly
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
I just reflashed the first nightly due to this. I lost my earphones so I have to use my loudspeaker. >.<

Hmm, well. CM12 is literally getting better everyday! Can't wait. :victory: :)

Also, I noticed that the focus sound isn't played. The camera app bundled with the ROM seems to work fine. But, apps like CM11S camera (CameraNext) force close on focus. This didn't happen on Beta 6. :confused:

Btw, if anyone wants to try, Xposed alpha 3.0 seems to work normally on the device.

install snap camera or open camera apk. it makes great photos especially in low light
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Hm, even if you clean installed it exists.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its a fix for the low sound volume. I believe that's a fix for adjusting the volume during a call. [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] can you please look into this. Apparently there is a noticeably lower sound volume in build 20150305.

[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
No that's the fix for low speaker volume. The fix for in-call volume control has been merged already (in vendor blobs)

All these changes will appear in next nightly. And there will be no nightly today, one of the Samsung device caused all the nightlies to fail.

So you guys have to wait another day to get the next build.

Question Related To OTA update

Daily in settings cyanogen updates come. Is i have daily download that update ?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
You dont have to if you dont want...you also can skip updates....

Its called nightly cause every day a build robot builds the system from sources.... That means you always will get newest changes from varun/cm Team ....
[Sony Xperia L] Psadim:
Bring back my radio :(

The issues for me are:

1) radio has no sound, it finds stations but no sound at all.

2) Low sound on voice calls, i can't hear the others well if i m out of home.

3) Handsfree isnt working properly, the other can't hear me from the handsfree's microphone.

So, i 'm stuck on ...128 cm12 nightly version which is the last one that the radio is working properly and i cant try the new ones. Are there any way to fix the radio on my own in newer versions so i can try them?

Thanks, sorry for my bad English .

cyanogen recovery is still non functional, weird is I can't access internal memory from it, but I can access external sdcard01 (with f2fs fs) but still I can't flash anything, no matter if it is nightly, pa gapps or tz kernel
[Sony Xperia L] Luigi.Musti:
I noticed this CM kernel bug: Link2SD doesn't recognize script for 2nd partition after every reboot. Now works only with soft reboot, if I reboot or turn off, Link2SD asks again to mount script for 2nd partition and I can't view linked apps (so I must press "Fast reboot" on Link2SD errore message and

then reappears the apps).

I solve the problem, it's a problem with CM kernel, just install Thunderzap and it works. Why?

On the latest nightly 05.03.15 my phone restarts if i try to apply a theme and make the phone get stuck on boot screen, i've had to restore a backup... tried twice with two themes that worked on 03.03.15... anybody else have this?

Really need a working recovery, flashing the kernel or changing files all the time isn't great... Please fix.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Pretty sure its an issue coming from CM, not varun. Please do not address CM bugs to varun. We are using nightly so of course there are bound to be bugs.
[Sony Xperia L] Jas123:
Same here. It says some emisc cannot be mounted and exits.

Is it possible to replace the boot.img with that of thunderzap kernel to get philz recovery.

It is really a pani ti update ROMs once cyanogen recovery is installed.
[Sony Xperia L] severoraz:
I installed CM12 and my CM11 Google Play crashed every time it was opened. So to fix it I installed Lollipop GApps (pico GApps provided by basketbuild) and now every Google app installed crashes every few seconds and relaunches; my phone is in an eternal loop of GApp crashes.

Besides that, I notice that

1) the HDR mode of the camera freezes the application,

2) the drawer animations are not fluid like they were in CM11,

3) the flashlight botton from the dropdown panel can activate the flashlight but after some seconds (with the flashlight still on) the shut-off flashlight icon will overtake, and beyond that the button becomes pretty much helpless in shutting off the flashlight. Workarounds include a) taking a picture with flash and b) installing a third-party flashlight control application.

Thank you very much varun for all your effort!

Varun asked about CM recovery in fb group thats why Im reporting here...
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Until recovery is fixed use twrp FOTAKernel Form here: (not my work!)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934536062

Put it to storage/sdcard0/

Then go to terminal

Su

dd if=storage/sdcard0/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

This will install twrp as FOTAKernel and updates will not override it!

Disclaimer:

Thats not my work. I am not responsable for any damage to your device, nuclear war vor if russians invade your countries ....

to delete the fota just extract bootlp.img from thunderzap and make the above procedure... It will not work and fota will be reseted
[Sony Xperia L] asad.kazmi7:
Then how can we install philz touch when tz comes?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Like i mentioned above just reset fota will make you have cwm if you have flashed tz before....

Example:

You flash fota over stockcm:

You got cmstock kernel with twrp recovery

... If you override fota with bootlp you will have stock cm12 kernel and stock cm recovery

Example 2

You flash fota over cm12 + TZ

You will have TZ kernel with twrp

If you override fota with bootlp you will got TZ kernel + cwm

Edit:

I have just requested varun to build cwm FOTA for us ... Answer to be awaited

Hi [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION];

I have noticed that in stock cm kernel now charging is really slow. I have kept it for charge for around 90mins and it charged around 40% only!!!! Strange? Or is it normal?

But in Sony stock and tz it charges above 50% in 1hr.
[Sony Xperia L] ZeroDs111:
+1 The charging take hours and drains faster than 4.4 CM11
[Sony Xperia L] Oscarm99:
Im on beta 6 and phone charges much faster than on kk or stock jb.

Also battery lasts longer so is that a problem with cm kernel or nightlyes?
[Sony Xperia L] severoraz:
My battery is doing fine, perhaps the issue is not directly related to the ROM.

I wanted to report, in case its of any use, that

1) Sound now works good in calls, (I installed nightly 20150305), even with loudspeaker on, the other person hears no echo (in my case at least, with a sample of 2 regular calls and a viber call)

2) I don't know if this was my issue only, but on CM11 my audio was choppy sometimes on songs, and now songs play nicely.

and put it on sdcard0 ...go to terminal:

that will flash it manually!

if you want to flash it over normal use the flashable zip!
