hi,

i follwed the aove mentioned steps and got the 13Mar-Nightly, however, i found that the sdcard0(internal storage) was not formatted. just installing few apps in phone is leving my phone's internal memory in low space.

i had not run the wipe option during erase of system , data and cache, will that be the reason. ? please advice.

also, when the phone is exhaused from batt. power, i cannnot power ON while the power is connected, i need to wait for some 4-5% of charging, than remove the power cable and than only it gets POWERED ON, else it just stops on the screen showing battery icon with movement of charging. please suggest here as well.

Thanks and Regards

Hemant Vaswani

Many thanks for your effort. Please share your findings. :)
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
I didn't ever wipe sdcard0. After you install your apps, go to settings > Apps and move your apps to the Sdcard. (It basically moves the data to sdcard0). Some apps which aren't movable usually can be used with DS App2SD. I use that a lot but be careful of what you move. Else that app might not work until you shift it back. (Eg. Chrome). Also, use smaller gapps. I use the Android 5.0.x Paranoid android micro gapps and they work perfectly. ^.^

The charging issue is normal. You do need to plug out to turn it on. Or, you'll just see the battery icon and it will restart to the Sony Logo and over and over, until you unplug (Or sometimes it even requires you to pull your battery out.). This has been there since KitKat and isn't something new, so it's cool.

How do I change max CPU speed to stock (i.e. 1 GHz); I'm on default CM 12 kernel (13.03 nightly) and the speed as reported by CPU-Z is 1.19 GHz. It is getting really hot while playing games and then there is a lot of stuttering (as a result of CPU throttling due to overheat? Have seen temperature as high as 57 - measured after about 1 min after playing CoC/Beach Buggy, which was dropping a lot of frames).
[Sony Xperia L] DebuggingWarfare:
use TricksterMod in playstore

just a suggestion

use Thunderzap 4.14 if you want to play games on lollipop(for me stock kernel is very bad if used to playing games)

[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Which build did you take the FM files from? 0228 doesn't work for me. Flashed stock ftf. Radio worked on stock Xperia ROM. Installed 0228 without gapps and without TZ. Radio doesn't work. Going to try Beta 7.
[Sony Xperia L] Fabulous_Pancake:
[MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION] hmm you're some kind of developer or what? Anyway thanks for your effort ... So is radio really some big deal?

[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Haha! I must so agree to this. I'm noob at this and am just trying to replace files from different builds. xD I don't even know what I'm doing. I might get soft-bricked any moment. Lmao! Yeah.

Cell standby is draining a lot of battery in 1503 nightly. Please look into it?
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
Did you check your "time without a signal"?

That keeps happening to me, because I have bad cell reception at work and "Time without a signal" is usually very high.
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
Time without signal is 0%
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
Does WiFi fall under cell standby?
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
Interesting. The radio was on for a short time. Were you on flight mode?

EDIT:

WiFi has its own category. It doesn't fall under cell standby at all, AFAIK.
[Sony Xperia L] Jerome Matthew:
I flashed the ROM almost 4 hours ago....but cell standby usually only takes around 3%

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

You're right to be surprised.

speaker is wasted in recent nightlies :crying: (since I moved to cm12) so I want to go back a little, where speaker works good.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Speaker is good in both, 0228 and 0303. Some say FM worked in 0228 but I haven't had any success with either builds. You might wanna try both, or just stick to 0303. ^.^
[Sony Xperia L] Psadim:
i m using 0228 with thunderzap 4.14 and thunderzap control

Fm radio and speakers works good. i m using sio i/o scheduler and intelimm cpu governor at 1.35ghz. The phone runs good at all.

The bugs that you 'll have in daily usage are:

1) Storage bug where you can't download apps from app store sometimes but you can solve that by deleting google account and re-sign with it again from accounts section in settings

2)Sometimes Handsfree microphone isnt working on call so if you wear handsfrees you 'll have to bring the phone near your mouth

3)Sometims on reboot you 'll have an 1 minute delay from asking you the pin code to bring you signal but after that all are fine

(I didn't check the latest 0317 build yet, so check it first and then if it has problems flash the 0228)
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Okay, I'm on 0303 and occasionally, I have a bug where the touch screen suddenly decides not to respond. This happens while watching videos online mostly, and YouTube. Also, YouTube sometimes doesn't play the video (is glitchy with frames) but plays sound correctly until I move the seekbar a few times to re-buffer the video. Anyone else encountered the same yet? ?

Memory Leak

Hi,

I have read a lot about the dreaded memory leak issues in Lollipop and as per some blogs its not fixed even on Android 5.1. How is the situation on this ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] Fabulous_Pancake:
No leaks for me...

Running smoothly and fabulous for now.
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
My phone's pretty quick too. But I do feel there's still the memory leak. Some apps just consume too much memory unlike KitKat. WhatsApp sometimes shoots upto 60-70 mb. Viber always gets killed in the background.
[Sony Xperia L] margaik:

Got FM Workig. . .Nightly 3/3/15

I tried replacing the two files "audio.primary.default.so" and "audio.primary.msm8960.so" from 2/26 beta 7 into 3/3 nightly. It works like a charm.

When I replaced only the later file then got no audio, not even music/video player. Replaced both, restarted phone and all works fine. All ROMs have TZ 4.14.

I am no android developer. Maybe [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] might tell more about the two files' relations.

Attaching the two files. Let me know if anyone gets the same result (with 3/3 or any other build).
[Sony Xperia L] Fabulous_Pancake:
Did it, now dont have sound at all .. Yeey :eek:

PS: Im on 0312

I'll try in 3/17 build in a while. Will post the results here.

Woohoo guys, its actually working. Lol i forgot to set perms... Radio is officially working :)
[Sony Xperia L] agentskywalker:
Woo Hooooo ..... Radio working on 3/17 build

Hi All,

Just tried replacing the same 2 files in 3/17 build. Radio is rocking solid. :)

So I guess after 2/26 build something changed in those two audio files, for which radio got screwed over.

Haven't faced any issue yet with rollbacking these two files. Will update if face any issue.

Meanwhile anyone wants radio, can use this method. :)

3/17 nightly problem..

hi, i just updated to nightly build 3/17 and im currently facing some issues

my wifi isn't working.. it won't turn on!

also sometimes i get apps crash reports even when i don't open them..

please help me! i did not clean install anyway..

also why is there two clock app? :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] Fabulous_Pancake:
hmm.. strange... didnt updated to latest nightly but still... try clearing caches in cwm..

and about clock, yes one is clock (with comes with all androids) and other is cLock , as you can se in cLock you have weather etc and also cLock's weather is shown in status bar. While in Clock you have alarms and other stuff.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I updated as well (clean installedl) and everything works fine here(excluding FM). I don't update too often but when I do I always clean install.
[Sony Xperia L] MariuszT:
Radio is working, and volume of sound in radio is great.

But the volume of sound in other (music player, ringtones) still is very low.

Does anybody know, what files are responsible for volume of sound in music player and in ringtones ?

Or maybe anybody knows, what files should be replaced from nightly 0303 (last one where sound was great) to make sound ok in new nightlies ?
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I believe its the snd_soc_msm_Sitar but I'm not too sure. Someone try replacing snd_soc_msm_Sitar from one of the nightlies before 03/03/15. You can find it in system/etc/snd_soc_msm

set_metadata_recursive error while updating gapps

Hi

2 months back, I had rooted my Xperia L, unlocked bootloader and flashed cwm recovery using fastboot and installed CM12 ROM(unofficial) /Lollipop gapps using cwm recovery. It worked great but only the cwm recovery got replaced by cyanogenmod recovery.

Yesterday wanted to install the official nightlies, just worried that the cyanogenmod recovery wouldn't work, so I installed twrp recovery(most of them spoke highly of twrp over cwm) using adb shell with command:

dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

Then when I reboot and go into the recovery, the teamwin page just displayed forever and nothing happened.

So I went back and flashed the cwm(v6.0.3.5) using flashboot.

Restarted and went into cwm

Note: this works only the first time, If I reboot again teamwin page shows up.

Installed the latest CM12 nightly zip, no error.

Installed the latest gapps(gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip) progress bar completes for around 80% then error occured:

Installing files...

Cleaning up and setting metadata...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error in .....gapps....zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

I tried installing previous versions lp gapps even kk gapps, same error occured.

Tried installing pa_gapps, but I didn't install saying there are existing gapps detected, have to factory reset and then install pa_gapps. I did factory reset

under cwm but still pa_gapps didn't work.

I do wipe cache and dalvik cache everytime I install zips.

Saw a post in this thread saying to install thunderzap kernal to overcome the recursive error. Even after installing thunderzap 4.14 I am getting the same error while installing gapps.

If I try to boot into OS without the gapps, ROM is booting and showing this message

"Installing x out of 114 apps" after that cyanogenmod language selection screen appears but on top of it there are lot of messages saying

Unfortunately process.gapps has stopped

Unfortunately Google now has stopped

Unfortunately Youtube has stopped

etc., for some other apps.

Even if I click "Ok" on above messages, it keeps getting popped again and again

I am so tired of again and again removing battery, fastbooting cwm, installing zips and failing.

I'd be grateful if anyone could guide me to install a solid recovery and gapps without error. I dont have anyother phone to use until then :crying:

Please help.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Ah this, I created a guide just because of this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59109245

I was so stressed off that day that I went a day or two without any gapps lol. I eventually did what I stated in the guide and everything worked fine. Follow it step by step, cleanest way to install :)
[Sony Xperia L] agentskywalker:
Here are the two files from 3/17 build. What are your plans for them ?!! :p
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Here's to all the lazy people.

Just a flashable zip for fixing the Radio. Credits to [MENTION=5678967]agentskywalker[/MENTION] for discovering the correct build and providing files. ^.^

Zip tested on Philz recovery. (TWRP doesn't boot for me :confused:)

EDIT:Woah woah woah. So, this just happened. After changing the 2 files from 0226 for the FM Fix, I have my loud sound back! O.O

I think this is related to audio.primary.default.so under /system/lib/hw

Can anyone else confirm that? Btw, to those who haven't changed files, can use the flashable and if what I said is true, you should have your loud sound back as well. (I noticed this on 0303 as well, that Using AudioFX for the speaker lowers the volume a lot. Make sure you disable AudioFX for the loudspeaker before playing any music)

P.s.~ I'm not even using ThunderZap.
[Sony Xperia L] agentskywalker:
Ya. I too don't seem to have any low sound issue. Either with headphones/speaker/in call sound.

I flashed 3/17 with TZ 4.14. Replaced the files from 2/26 (manually). All music players/FM are rocking great. :laugh:

I haven't used AudioFX for any type of volume boost.
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Btw, AudioFX for headphones is great. It does boost sound on electronic and small speakers equalizers. ^.^

In build 0303 volume of sound is great. You don't have to change files from build 0226 to make sound ok.

After replacing these two files in build 0317, volume of sound didn't changed, still is low.

But yes, it helps to make Radio FM working.
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
That's weird. I'll put the old files, then the new (from 0226) and compare loudness. I'm getting sound equivalent to 0303 with the files from 0226 on the latest nightly. However, notification sounds are kinda low. (Call ringtone and in-call volume seems fine)
[Sony Xperia L] coolswap11:
Ever since blobs were changed , for me the voice quality of the receiver has drastically changed to broken voice which occassionally cracks up to such an extent that the voice of the person is not understandable at all.

Thought it would get fixed eventually as nightly update progresses . So Hands on deck...

May be its time to create a build with older blobs...

I think the point is, that something very bad happened with files which are responsible for a sound in new builds after b.0226

New CM OS Boot Animation

Is it possible for us :fingers-crossed:

http://www.androidcentral.com/new-boot-animation-shown-cyanogen-os
[Sony Xperia L] Agent_fabulous:
Okay, So, I took a backup and clean installed each build to save time. (Else the ART Cache stuff takes time. Android is upgrading prompt) I took readings with my Nexus 7 2012. Here are my results -

Build 0303 - 80 dB

Build 0308 - 68 - 72 dB

Build 0317 with preloaded libs - 77-79 dB

Build 0317 with 0226's libs - 78-81 dB

All tests were done with the phone placed next to the tablet, with screen on the table.

Song - Technicolor by Madeon at 3:56 onwards.

App used - Sound Meter Lite

Notification sound (at least charging sound. Didn't really check normal notifications) is still low. But loud enough to be heard from my pocket. I feel the Audio has been fixed somewhere.

Note: No ThunderZap, Room's dB level was 42-45 dB. (The values may not be exact because, come on. It was the microphone of another Mobile Device.)

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Sure. Why not? We need to wait for CM12 to roll out for the OnePlus One or Yureka. (CM12S). My sister has a OnePlus One. So, I can get Hands-on the bootanimation as soon as the update arrives and can resize. Resizing bootanimations is easy. ^.^

Flashlight and HDR are still to be fixed. Everything else is fixed I believe. I don't hear any in-call echo. Terminal special keys work for me. Never tried casting screen though. I don't have the Chromecast. I think it should work as SCR uses Cast screen to record screen without root and it works just fine. ?

And, isn't the cellular data icon supposed to show usage ALONG WITH the toggle? O.o

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Okay, I think I've found another bug. There's no focus sound. I feel this is causing the focusing to get glitchy. Also, because of this, CM11S camera keeps crashing on Focus. This didn't happen on BETA 6. Didn't try on BETA 7. Focus sound is present but is not played. Anyone knows the files responsible for this? I can replace from Beta 6. I have it extracted.
