The rom is not rooted and i need recovery in order to install SuperSu and root so how would i be able to flash twrp using the terminal emulator command if the room is not rooted?

shouldn't it be recovery first then root?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Flash a DoomKernel or some other kernel with recovery. Then boot into recovery and flash the SuperSu. Then flash the Kernel of this ROM again. Then follow the previous procedure to get TWRP. Done!

Gesture Input

Hi Guys,

I have been using AOSP Lollipop from Test build1 until test8, I am not able to use the Gesture input / Swipe option in the AOSP Keyboard.

I tried installing few third party swipe keyboards, worked fine. Could some one help me enable the Gesture input option to work?

When I look at the settings, Gesture options are all enabled but doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Test report

I'm install the rom for 2 days. Here some issues:

1/ It cant play music properly. It can play music continuosly but when you skip song or rewind it go FC and the reboot automatically.

2/ Very smooth when boot up but when using about half day it becomes lagger.

3/ EAt up memory so fast. Cant install many apps because memory is full

4/ So lag when have many apps installed.

I'm still using b10. Still testing. Sorry for my bad english

-------

Try change nuplayer on developer but it cant even play. Have try all music player i know but nothing can play properly. But using youtube is smooth and nothing happen. I think the problem come from the encoder codec or hardware driver.

p/s: i'm using no oc rom

Yes, You won't have to flash the TWRP again after flashing TWRP to fotakernel.

If You get error while opening the zip of ROM, then the zip is corrupted. Download it again.

Installing the AOSP Lollipop 5.0 on Ion LT28h(issues)

Hi i hv spent almost 2 days trying this and totally frustated...any ways little help would be appreciated....

I m totally newbie...

what ive done...

1)unlocked the bootloader

2)Rooted using the DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit

3) installed recovery using the CWM6_Ganesh_Jb_Xperia+ION_v1

4) downloaded gapps-lp-20141109-signed & pure_aosp_lollipop_test9 to sd and internal memory both(tried installing from both)

5) Now i boot into cwm recovery... do factory reset,format partion,wipe dalvik cache .

6) Install gapps(successful) then aosp lollipop(error symlink status 7) ...tats it dead end....ive tried vice versa...1st lollipop then again error.....

How do i install...??

Is it possible using flashtool... wat do u mean by flash boot.img

i tried using the thread posted on this site...bt ended up with error in flashboot...

Need help guys!!!asap
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
Extract the boot.img from the rom. Place it in the platform tools folder of android sdk. Flash it using fastboot. Else what you can do is flash using flashtool. Select fastboot option in flashtool. Connect your device in fastboot mode. Select to flash kernel. Browse the extracted boot.img. When done, wipe everything. Flash rom. Then flash gapps. Your're done :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pratiks123:
thanks.....il be trying it now!..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pratiks123:

untill

i flashed the boot.img then did a reboot into system...

now im stuck at sony logo...cannot enter the cwm recovery....need help.!

thnx vishal
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Flash this boot.img and then You can boot into recovery. The Lollipop boot.img don't have inbuilt recoveries. Then after booting into recovery, flash the ROM and gapps and Super SU!

Then You will have to follow the procedure here to install recovery again as You will loose it when You flash the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pratiks123:
I am simply amazed by how fast and helpful response ia m getting!!....one question though i did wipe ..does it mean that the sd card is formatted too?...because im not able to locate the rom that im 100% sure i copied(i verified using other phone)...can u guide me any way to do tat(i m really feeling dumb now)...

and lastly one guy told me that this is only for ion lt26i not lt28h....is it true(im literally gonna shoot myself if tats right! :p )..

thanx again [MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION]

if tats the case is there a stable lollipop for the ion for everyday use...?

thnx again
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
I'm sorry bro. I thought it was nAOSP which has an inbuild twrp recovery. Anyway, just flash any kernel of a rom which has a inbuilt recovery like that. I think this rom is just for lt26i. Not for Ion. And did you wipe the sdcard too?

If you cannot find your rom and gapps, push it through adb, while the phone is in recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Simply saying wipe doesn't explain what You wiped, as You can wipe partitions like data, system, cache, sdcard etc. If You wiped sdcard, then Your data in internal memory is gone.

This ROM is for Xperia S/SL only! Do not flash it on Ion!

Use the following command after booting into recovery with adb:

adb push /path/to/ROM.zip /sdcard/

This will push the ROM.zip to Your phone's internal memory.

It takes some time to boot during second boot and it shows that it seems to be stuck at Sony logo, but it is not stuck. This is normal during second boot.

You need unlocked bootloader to flash this ROM.

You are not giving root permissions to the terminal emulator app hence You get the Permission denied problem.

Check nAOSP thread for instructions on zram.

Then the phone booted into AOSP Lollipop test9. Do I need to use flash option? I taught for a one time usage to get into recovery (and flash SuperSU) the boot option would be nice to not risk a soft brick. I'm also worried to use flash because none of the two images booted successfully (maybe because Lollipop has different partitions?). Sorry I'm still a n00b...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ChriMo:
Yes [MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION] I have TWRP now and have already switched to nAOSP and back to AOSP. Other questions:

Lollipop and/or AOSP: is it usual that groupings are not showed/usable in the contacts? I only see favorites and all contacts. I really use groupings in KitKat and other Custom ROMs, so I miss it.

I noted nAOSP has a more responsive/faster reacting options dialog when you swish (I hope it is the right term) from top right down. Is this a ROM setting that could be also edited in AOSP? I would prefer as much possible to hide the animations to get almost what is available in KitKat.

To get simple one color backgrounds one needs to create album images? Would it be not memory-saving selecting directly a color in the system (if Android/LP) allows so?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
That feature was removed by in Android 5.0.

That is a setting done by Developer of Android nAOSP, You can ask him how he did it.

Problem with unlocking device test 11

Try unlock device without slide of device, you can unlock withou slide by down buttons (right button).

1. wake device by power button

2. after use right button under display, it will unlock device without slide up/down on display

This problem is when you use device outside and you have it in your bag or pockets. When is pressed wake up of device, after these buttons unlock device and sometimes calling to other people.
