[Sony Xperia L] NikTh:
This is a problem I didn't know its existence until recently(because I didn't have any storage problems until recently).

Suppose I have moved some Apps to SD CARD (I'm using Batch Actions from Titanium Backup and it's working).

When I flash a new ROM/upgrade (I'm using always CyanDelta) , eg from cm-12-201550601 to cm-12-201550602, then all the Apps which have been moved in SD CARD disappear from the Menu. I cannot find them and launch them.

The workaround I've found on my own is to move them again to Phone then move them again to SD CARD.

This is a bit annoying, especially if someone wants the latest updates always.

Do we have any other workaround/solution/suggestion to this problem ?

The flashlight can be switched on, but still cannot be switched off via the menu bar. This issue has been there for some time, but there's no fix yet. Is this an NP-complete problem (i.e. no known efficient way to locate a solution)? :D

You can use Gravity Box to set your quick settings. GB's torch toggle works. That's the only workaround we have right now that i know of.

So, I've been on stock for a while and I must say, that the emoji on 4.2.2 are ANNOYING. Anyways, I'm planning to move back to this rom (Or 12.1, lol). I remember one of the March - Beta nightlies had the HDR working. So, what's the status of the Rom now? Do we have HDR working? Read a few pages, looks like the Flashlight bug still exists. (Correct me if I'm wrong). Thanks in advance. :D

Cool, then I should have done something wrong. Is there any special step I might miss while installing it? I've just flashed the zip then installed the apk after the restart.

Have you installed TZ or using stock kernel?

Hi.

Where do you guys get your updated gapps these days?

Is there still packages similar to PA-gapps? I know that there used to be, ( I once downloaded one of those after TKruzze retirement) but now it seems they all stopped updating. Where can I find the best gapps now? Thank you. :)

Edit: I see that TK is still in the game but he creates gapps only for 5.1 roms, if I'm not mistaking. that is sad, really.

i tryed wiping data but it didnt fix
[Sony Xperia L] sirockho:
Thanks egar3427 and cascabel for your kind help. I'm on cm12+tz4.16 now and Xposed works fine. (It seems to me that it works with tz4.16 only, but I might be wrong...)

I can confirm that the galaxybox module is a working alternative to fix the flashlight issue! Thanks cascabel for this hint!

I've used the ROM today and found the following issues:

* I cannot change the ringtone from a default sound. All seems to work i.e. the system shows that I've changed it successfully, but it remains the same. I've tried several suggested methods to change it:

- through system menu using ES File Explorer or the system default media chooser

- through the caller application; there's a settings menu where under general settings there's an option for this too

- using ES File Explorer's media player choosing "set as ringtone" or something like that

Unfortunately, neither of these worked.

* Even if I installed TZ4.16 and the kernel version on the phone's about page confirms that it succeeded, I still see the Sony logo when I turn on the phone. how could it be possible?

* The whole system is pretty slow compared with Android 4.4.4 which I've got used to, e.g. switching between apps, slowly loading apps, laggy animations.

* After a restart around 5 times out of 8 the system doesn't ask for SIM-card PIN code at all, thus the SIM remains locked. I've found that if I go to settings -> security -> SIM/RUIM-card lock settings I can change the PIN and after that the SIM gets unlocked.

* Slow switches between mobile internet and WIFI internet when both enabled.

* I cannot find a replacement for Toggle Lock or No Lock to quickly turn on/off screen locking. These worked fine on 4.4.4, but neither of them works on 5.0.2.

Are there others facing with these issues too? Are there any solutions for them?

Help?

So, I flashed this ROM and... it doesn't boot. I've tried redownloading the zip and pushing it to my sdcard and install it.

What I did -

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash boot.img from TZ

3. Booted into recovery and flash the package. It succeeds with some Status 0.200 or something.

4. Try to boot without gapps.

What happens - after the Sony Logo and the purple light, the screen goes black for a few seconds and reboots to the Sony Logo and The purple light goes orange and I'm thrown into the Cyanogen Recovery.

Some odd things I noticed - While copying files to the sdcard, it copies about 60% and finishes instantly. I feel this can be a simple copying issue but how do I get past it? Someone please help. :crying:

EDIT: Looks like something is up with the Data partition. Every recovery I tried gave me the same error. E:\ Cannot mount data: No such file or directory (Something like that). Attempting to flash stock. >.<

Yeah. That's what i do. It should work. If it really won't work, try searching/asking over at the xposed thread. They may know something.

Hallo guys,

I have read a lot of comments about this one and I saw that this one is pretty stable.So I opted for this one and I have a few question about the procedure

Since the phone runs the official firmware do I need to unlock the bootloader or I just need to root the phone and replace the recover with TWRP/CWM?

are fixes merge on last nightly?

what bugs still has?
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Honestly I gave up on this device. The developers seem to be least interested in this phone. By developers I mean kernel and AOSP rom contributors - meaning not people who port over other roms using CM as a base, I wouldn't call them 'developers'. CM seems to run very well on other devices, but on this one specifically after using it for a significant amount of time, things start slowing down and such. I must say it has come a long way, but it keeps dragging along very minor yet annoying bugs along with it. Like that camera/video recording, call sounds and slow downs. Hate to admit, but in the end nothing seems to get better (by better I mean in terms of stability) than stock ROM. At least that is my opinion.
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
AFAIK, in India, new college session start around this time, so he is busy with college work. Plus he has other devices to support and his personal life. What can you expect from CM12.1 beta 4? I already feel it is good enough for nightlies.

Unfortunately he is only developer remaining now in xL community.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I'm not complaining about Varun lol. Didn't know about the college bit, but yeah "the only developer for XL", that's the thing. I wish we had more kernel devs that can help bring up stuff apart from just him. Yes I know cm 12.1 beta 4 is good enough, in fact I was one of the persons who encouraged him to take it to nightlies but he didn't. Now it feels outdated, and still carries those 'minor' bugs. I feel those minor bugs shouldn't be much of a hassle to fix (from my experiences in console developing - minor bugs like say, the display brightness isn't working, shouldn't be too hard to fix when you know your stuff around) but its still being dragged along. I'm not complaining and I don't wish for him to rush anything. I'm just saying I gave up on the device.

While I do have quite a strong knowledge in C/C++ (also a bit of MIPS assembly and Reverse Engineering) my hands are too full at the moment to work for this device. Also I don't really know much about android (developer's side of view). This being my only device makes it worse, to learn and test things. So yeah, I pretty much gave up on the device and I think I'll just stick to stock like I have been for almost two months now.
[Sony Xperia L] :
Hi, sorry new to this. My phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked and I have a custom recovery installed (though I would prefer a better one so please send me a link or recommendation , thanks :) )

When I flash the rom for the first time do I wipe the cache and delvik again and then install gapps or install gapps directly after the rom.

Alternatively do I install the rom, reboot then go back to recovery and install gapps separately?

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
Here you can find the latest CWM or TWRP or Philz recovery for XL.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/beta-fota-cwm-one-klick-t3068084/

You can wipe dalvik and cache partitions whenever you want. ( I think I do one before flashing zipz and one after)

You can flash everything at once. Including roms, gapps, kernel or any other mods you have. No big deal.
[Sony Xperia L] :
Is this compatible with the stock rom I have right now or do I have to use some other one right now because it says "Only works on Custom Kernels/ROMs with support for FOTA-Recoverys (cm11 , cm12 does support)"

First flash a custom rom with the custom recovery you already have and then use that link to update your recovery to whatever you like.
