Cm12 is a bit buggy but its fine ATM...

I recommen you to wait for beta6...will come soon™

But first look if your Main used apps are ART compatible!

And also be aware if following:

Installing cm will void your warranty! Nobody wants you to install it if you are all New to this... You could probably brick(damage) your device! I recommen you to let someone with experience flash your device. If you still want to do it by yourself ASK someone to tell you all nessesary steps for sucessfull flash. Still then you do it on your own risk!

Chance to softbrick your device without any instructions are nearly 30% .... Chance with full instructions 1%

Edit:

To answer your question... Cm12 will speed up your device throug Art is much faster then dalvik ... But also ALL your apps will need more space(MB) cause Art apps are 20-30℅ bigger than normal ones

Also mostly a "factory reset" will speed up your device ... Cause you maybe run your system for a long time and its full if "rubish" (dont understand this wrong pls)

@Kevinjoa dude be grateful to varun for what he's done for this device and for us. It's not like everybody's getting lollipop for their device which is way better and smooth than any other rom that is available for xperia l. So please stop blaming him.
[Sony Xperia L] nishuksd:
Dear friend, it is completely up to you.

Yes there are Bugs in CM12, but there is bugs in Stock ROM too. And also whatever ROM you install in your phone, it will not become XPERIA Z2 or Z3, i mean the performance.

Performance of the phone depends on the Hardware part 80% and s/w part is just 20%. Same goes with Battery back up.

But if you like to play with your phone, see new features and and explore.., then surely you can go ahead and install CM12.

Just go through the posts, you'll understand what bugs present in this ROM.

[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Pm me means private message not public spam ;) but no Problem...

So it seems you flashed cm12 beta 6 without flashing tz4.12 .... You habe lost your recovery options at all....

1. BACKUP first

2. read the private message i send you... Download drivers, minimal fastboot and cwm for xperia l (KitKat compatible)

3. make sure you habe beta 5 AND tz4.12 in your sdcard

4. do your boot.img into C:\

5. shut down your device ... Pull out battery for 5sec .. Insert it

6. while shut down hold vol up on your device... Connect it to PC and wait for blue led

7. open fastboot ... Type in ADB devices make sure your device is shown correctly...

8. enter :

fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img

9. wait for fastboot to finish completely...

10. enter:

adb reboot recovery

hello my xperia l's camera not working

please help me !!
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
Every kernel has it's own modules. You wrote that the last kernel you installed is tz. Then wifi will only work with tz.

If you want to use the rom on it's stock kernel then you have to flash the rom again. There is also an other method which is that you copy the modules from the rom's zip to the system manually. But since cm made changes in the zip, you can only do that if you manage to open the system archive inside the zip. Well I never tried it.

- Is the auto restart problem solved somehow?

- What is the ThunderZap-4.13? What should I do with it?

- varun.chitre15 said that he'll release some patches in order to fix it... If so, how are we gonna to install these changes?

Anyway, thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
Firstly, the restart problem has been solved. For that.. You need thunderzap. Now to thunderzap, its a custom kernel that can be run on your phone. To install it, download the zip from thunderzap.in/downloads

Copy the zip file on your memory card, flash it through recovery, then you get all problems solved. WiFi patches are in thunderzap and the restart problem is also solved in this. Just download the latest version 4.13

Using CM12 Beta 6 with TZ 4.13 - Running pretty smooth here. For those reporting weird problems I don't know how the hell you guys got those, I came from stock using a clean install (Wipe system, data and cache). No FC's or bluescreens or scanning effects when the phone goes to sleep. Camera and phone works fine. Although I only flashed TZ 4.13 today, I've been using CM12 beta 6 (stock) since the day it arrived and I've had no problems. The only problems were it auto-rebooted when It to went to sleep but that was only twice. No other problems, I hope we can go official soon. Great work [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] !

My phone is stuck on Recovery mode need help

I flashed my phone Xperia l from CM11 to Cm12 and now im stuck on recovery mode when i try to flash the updated version of Cm12 my phone throws an error saying E:Cannot load volume /misc! and im not able to connect my phone through fastboot as well.

Need help please.....
[Sony Xperia L] ersyadiaz:
according to what you said, you first flashed philz recover (tz) through flashtool, then flashing the rom and gapps but you reboot it immediately to system without flashing tz4.13, after that you flash tz4.13 through cm's recovery. am i correct?

if that so, you need to try to reflash it again but this time flash them 3 all together so the "fresh" rom is already configured with tz4.13, not it's stock kernel.

(CMIIW)

Guys, sorry for off topic... Varun youre awesome man, i recently bought XL and i tried your kernel from that day im using it with KitKat...

[Sony Xperia L] khronos_one:
Hi! many many thanks to Varun!

Beta 6 installed (dirty, not with clean install. i'll do that if i get time...) over a LS 4.4. then Thunderzap 4.12.

no FC for now in the system.

My mum reported echo at the other side in calls (same with LS 4.4 (CM11). is a known bug). I'm investigating if is true or not.

Microphone in Phone app is always ok, but in other apps seems be "blocked". if an app use it (audio recorder ? shazam ? ) other apps cannot take its resource s anymore (only restart frees the microphone)

related with over here (i think), Whatsapp Freeze if i try to record audio. if is the First app i open for try a audio recording, it freezes however.

how can i help developers with logs and other things ?

Sorry thats not possible... Go to your part if forum for informations about Roms...

PLS NEVER try to flash something thats not for your special device.. If you flash a Rom you always flash a kernel with it... If you flash it on your phone it will brick your device and maybe you are never able to fix it...

I am on Beta 4 I went to recovery to install the new update (beta 6) but but it fails. it says cannot load volume /misc.

What do i do?
[Sony Xperia L] SpiderPack:
Hope it'll help you ^^

In order to install it, you'll need to do a clean install...

So BACKUP everything first!

After that, download the following things:

CWM:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/orig-development/taoshan-philz-touch-t2752023

BETA 6 and ThunderZap 4.13 - put the .zip in your phone

http://thunderzap.in/downloads/

GAPPS (Necessary to use Google Apps) - put the .zip in your phone

https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps (the "Android 5.0" one)

minimal ADB and Fastboot - Install it after the download

http://www.chip.de/downloads/Minimal..._62500183.html

So, let's do the steps:

*** MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS 60%+ BATTERY ***

- copy the "boot.img" that you donwload from the CWM I sent to you, to "C:"

- connect the usb cable on your pc

- (with the cell on) turn it off, after that, quickly, hold "volume +" and insert the cable in it.

- the blue led should be turn on

- (wait it to install the drivers if it have to)

- now, open the "minimal ADB and Fastboot"

- and type "fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img" (without the " ")

- after the successful message, displug the cable

- turn your cellphone on, and when the pink light goes on, press and hold "volume -" until it turns orange/brown

- In the menu select: wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Go in Advanced and also select wipe dalvik cache (With all that, you're doing a clean install)

- return to the main menu, and select install zip

- Now, find and install the .zip that you passed earlier, in the following order:

1-CM12 Beta 6

2-GAPPS

3-ThunderZap (this will have some steps, read all and go pressing "next")

- After that, return to the main menu, and select reboot system now :good:

Hope it helped you! If so, hit the "Thanks" button in here ;)

Clean Installation - TZ4.13 and Beta 6

Hi,

currently i am on CM12-Taoshan - Beta-4 by Varun Chitre.

it seems the above ROM had been installed without cleaning of previous Locked & Stock ROM.

Now i want to with CM12 Beta 6, I had downloaded TZ4.13 and CM12 -Beta 6 by Varun Chitre,

I have got Flash Tool in PC, could you please help with steps for clean install.

Thanks and Regards

Hemant Vaswani
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
Hey Hemant, its fairly simple now.

Open the TZ 4.13 using winrar and extract the bootlp.img from it.

Flash bootlp.img using flashtool or adb.

Once installed, open the recovery from your mobile, like press vol down button when purple light lights up on boot

Go to wipe and restore once you open recovery

Click on Clean to install new ROM

Click on clean dalvik/ART cache as well

Go back and install the ROM zip, then GApps (If you want Google Apps on phone) and finally TZ zip (install Lollipop variant).

There ya go!!

while following above steps, I forgot to add the TZ4.13 zip file in SDcard and hence attempted to add after first re-boot. however on re-booting I am getting the CM12 CWM and not the TZ's / Philz. and in CM12 CWM the TZ4.13 .zip is not getting installed, please advice.

Open tz again and flash the bootlp again using flashtool. Then install it again using philz. Don't wipe anything now.

If your recovery got Brocken cause you missed to install tz4.13 just download tz13 extract bootlp.img , rename it to boot.img , put it into sdcard0 and go to terminal Emulator doing this:
