No, I thought It could be installed directly from the apk. I'm trying to install de FotaKernel now, to flash the SuperSU from the TWRP then.

My problem now is that the terminal says "Permission Denied" when trying to run the command for installing it. Any idea?

Command:

su

dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
That won't work as you need root access to install recovery in fotakernel.

You can try flashing a kernel (i did this once with doomkernel) with inbuilt recovery and just flash the supersu. Then flash the boot.img from this rom. You will have root access. Then you would we able to edit and also install recovery in fotakernel.

:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mmauro_16:
I'm feeling so stupid right now hahah

Some last questions and I promisse I won't bother you anymore:

For flashing a kernel with recovery, should I use fastboot mode?

Will I lost all my current Android configuration?

I'm thinking in flashing the kernel_cma_no_ksm of this same ROM. Do you think it will works for me?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
1. Yes, for flashing the kernel with inbuilt recovery you can use either fastboot or flashtool. (Use any previous kernel which you remember has an inbuilt recovery)

2. No, you will not lose anything. Just reboot into recovery and flash the supersu which you placed on sdcard (don't forget to do so beforehand).

After flashing the supersu just power off your device. Then flash the kernel from aosp 5.0 (cma_no_ksm like you want) from this rom and then you can power on your device.

You do not mean kernel cma_no_ksm for flashing the supersu right? Because it doesn't have a recovery.

Guys, any known way to change the apps that launch from the two bottom corners of the lockscreen? Like, if we have another phone or camera app?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I removed the internal camera app and use the Google camera app, and it get's launched when I select camera icon from lock screen.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
In my case it is the phone app i am trying to replace right now. I tried removing the app from /system and the icon on the lockscreen disappeared!!

Exactly how did you replace the apk?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I uninstalled the camera app using this app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
Ok and then you installed the new camera app normally?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonyxperS:
(noob alert! :P)

hey,

could someone tell me how to move from one test version to another(all the steps).. :)

i'm using test 10

thank you in advance..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Yup. To verify, I even tried it again on cm12 too, and although the icon does get removed when I remove internal camera app, after You install the new app, try dragging from the respective corner. The icon appears again. I will try to do same for Phone app too.

There are two ways:

Dirty flash: Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then flash the new version directly and then wipe cache and dalvik cache again.

Clean flash : This method deletes all Your apps and their settings(messages, call logs, personalized app settings, calendar entries) but not the internal data(music, videos,pics etc). In this method, You wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache and then flash the ROM. Then You flash the ROM and gapps and then again wipe cache and dalvik cache.

i copy n paste the ROM n gapps on my phone's SDcard. turn it off and get in recovery mode..

or do i have to first flash the boot.img file with flashtool n then reboot? :confused:

where can I find gapp for pure AOSP rom of nozomi?

Hey guys, first I want to thank for the work you have made for Sony Xperia S. I use this http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/pure-aosp-lollipop-t2940839 and sucessfully made my phone work.

But I failed to find a gapp zip for it...and I found one from cyanogenmod 12 but it seemed not working at all.

Can anyone help me with it? also I need someone to tell me the correct way to install the gapp, because I can't enter the recovery mode in my phone now...or maybe I should install another new recovery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Yes technique is same. It just happens that people sometimes face problems while flashing the ROM, so they need to flash the boot.img first.

Download SuperSU and flash it through recovery. You should do it always with the rom so that you don't face problem with the root. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
I cannot say i have found a proper answer but do this (if the problem persists after a reboot)

go to settings apps and find existing camera,

force stop- clear cache-reboot

If you keep having issues

goto /system , find the camera app, delete or move it somewhere else

download google camera and install

It works perfect for me
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] christiang830:
Hi,

I got some problems while rooting my device. Maybe I got something wrong or anyone knows the reason for this.

Tried to root the device with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip (flashed by TWRP 2.8.4.1) or KingoRoot but in both cases the device keeps stuck at the "Sony" Logo at startup.

This occurred with both this AOSP (test11) release as long as the CM12 no matter what kernel.

With SuperSu it only gets stuck on booting after the first root application has been authorized.

Hope for some suggestion. Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
Weird.

Re-download the su.zip , just to be on the safe side, try even an earlier version (2.19 i think i verified to work)

otherwise

I would do the whole process again.format everything, EVERYTHING

connect with adb, sideload aosp 11 rom and let it install, then sideload su and gapps (without reboot)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Just to clarify, does this stuck at Sony occur during first reboot? Meaning after You flash ROM and other stuff, boot into phone, and then switch off and boot or directly reboot. If yes, then it is normal. If not do try the SuperSU v 2.19 as recommended by schumifer1 .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] christiang830:
Using 2.19 solved the problem. Thank you both.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rishirajbhatnagar:

I'm using Test 11 now. For your info, since Test 1 I've one problem (just one).. slow charging issue. some user said, charge until full then use it until low (about 5% left) & recharge to full again. Repeat this step for few times and you'll solved the problem but for me problem is still there... I also tried wiping cache & data, it's work but not too much (before try this, full charging it's about 9 hours, after wiping those, I got around 6 hours to full charge). I want to know if kernel setting is also effects this problem & changing cpu governor to another will get rid the issues?

Hope someone can help me.. I'm really love this rom. I just want full charge time like 4.4 rom such as AOSPXS, Cm11 which is around 2.5 hours

Few observations after installing test11

Below are the few observations after installing test11 in my Xperia S

1. Default Camera App is not working. It says cannot open camera.

2. I am having random reboots or the screen just froze and I have to manually reboot to make it working again.

3. Whenever I get calls the dialer says "Unfortunately Dialer has stopped" and the call gets disconnected.

4. Superbeam is not working. It says " You're on custom rom, please contact the developer" and it closes the application.

Apart from this the build quality is very good and battery performance has been increased considerably when compared to stock Jellybean version.

It would be great if there is any solution for the above mentioned.

Thanks and expecting Test12 to be out :)

5. Flash SuperSU for root access

I have installed lollipop for xperia s test 13 ROM, rootet, with TWRP recovery.

great development!!

if there will be test 14, could it be possible to include root and twrp or will the only way to flash test14 be to loose root and recovery again and make all the procedures (kernel downgrade, root, kernel update, install recovery) again?

and is a full wipe necessary for flash new version?

or simply flash over and keep all aps and data?

thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Yes, simply flash the kernel_fix_speaker_in_call.zip via recovery.

If You have flashed TWRP to fotakernel (i.e. by process similar to this method), then You don't need to flash TWRP again. For root, You don't need to dongrade kernel and al. You just need to flash the SuperSU zip from here after You clean flash the ROM (clean flash=wipe system,data, cache and then flash ROM.). If You dirty flash (directly flash the ROM.zip, no wipes) then You don't need to flash the SuperSU zip. Sometimes dirty flash causes problems.
