Firstly YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR QUESTIONS IN Q/A SECTION and not spam development thread.

Remove your question from development section and write "delete" on the post instead of your question by editing it.

Any moderator would delete the post soon.

Read Xda forum rules. Failure to do so can result in a permanent ban.

To answers all yours questions, the ROM is still in beta and there are bugs which need to be sorted out.

CM12 is not officially released so wait for it to have a custom launcher. or you can try to find apk and install it yourself to see iif it works.

Use supersu instead of superuser. make sure you have updated supersu as well with binaries.

Bugs would be sorted so don't complain.

development thread is only for complains with proper logcats.

Search xda for how to take logcats.

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

Yes! it shows "insufficient storage space", i think its a bug because i have 2.52 GB free on my internal storage and still it shows "insufficient storage space", so don't worry its a bug which will be fixed soon. :)

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

There are no Wi-fi issues on this rom so far, to flash the rom boot into CWM, first Factory reset your device via CWM, then wipe "CACHE PARTITION", then go to advanced and Wipe "Dalvik/ART Cache", after that flash the rom first and then GApps and you're done! :)

---------- Post added at 05:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

I also faced this problem when i was on Cyanogenmod 11 Free Xperia Project (FXP) Build, Google play services' battery usage was about 50%, what i did was restored my stock rom backup, used it for about a week and then i flashed Cyanogenmod 11 again, after that there were no battery drains and everything seemed to work just fine. I don't know why this problem occurs. :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] Japamala:
First time I tried installing, everything was fine, other than wifi sometimes turning off and not being able to turn on again.

After a failed install of thunderzapp and a few wipes to fix it, the second time I installed this, it can connect to wifi networks, but cannot connect to the internet through them.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Do I need to flash stock ftf in between installs?
[Sony Xperia L] AdiGurjar:
Yes its a bug! the camera crashes for me also, just download Google Camera from playstore. :)

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

Provide more info, are you on Stock? CM11?, if you are on stock JB 4.2.2 then flash Vengeance kernel, its has updated CWM Recovery v6.0.5.0 which is essential for flashing roms, if you are on cm11 then there should be no problems at all cuz it already has latest CWM Recovery. :)

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 AM ----------

Varun Chitre's new Thunderzap is released with compatibility for Lollipop, flash it first and then try flashing GApps, maybe it could solve the problem.

Go in Factory Reset and look for CLEAN TO INSTALL NEW ROM and clean it.

Just flashed the ROM with ThunderZap 4.9 everything went well but i faced Blue Screen Of Death (Bsod) while i was trying to open the camera the phone crashed, reinserted the battery and rebooted the phone, then flashed TZ 4.9 for the update, since then no BSOD problem, but i encountered a bug while importing my contacts from storage the Dialer crashed everytime i tried to import my contacts, i dealt with this problem by opening the contacts backup .vcf file directly and then the contacts were imported without any issues. So far the Rom is good no lags and deep sleep is awesome 6 Hours' deep sleep and 1% battery loss. Nice work varun! :) Recommended as a daily driver!

Device: Sony Xperia L C2104.

Rom: Cyanogenmod 12 Beta 2.

Kernel: ThunderZap 4.9.
[Sony Xperia L] deepN:
If you are stuck on sony logo, Status 7 or error in footer.....

Hey man,

I also had the exact same problem. It is the CWM tool that you are using is the issue. Google and search for some other version (previous one) of the CWM and use it from scratch. I spent more than 16 hours to figure out it was the wrong CWM tool that was causing the issues.

Don't worry, you have not bricked your phone yet ;)

+++++++++

For all those who are having Status 7 and Error in footer problems on continuous basis those are not being resolved by toggleing the hash verification, just change the CWM and you'll be good.

Do the following:

1) Take out battery for 30 seconds or more

2) Insert the battery and Up volume key pressed and plug the cable to PC/laptop

3) on fastboot mode, flash the bootloader again

4) Use the different version of the CWM tool

5) flash taosan zip

6) flash gApps

You'll rock on Lollipop. Good luck.

[Sony Xperia L] Samarpan:
You can try dirty updating it(from CM12 beta 1), but a clean install is recommended. Backup all your apps+data and contacts using Titanium(provided your phone is rooted), and then reboot into recovery(provided you have the latest Rom zip from Varun's androidfilehost account and the Tz 4.9 zip in your SD).

Now reboot into recovery and choose "clean to install new rom". then flash Tz 4.9 and then reboot(this is necessary).

now flash Rom zip and Lollipop GApps zip. done.

First reboot will take a hell lot of a time...Patience is required.
