Hello,

I installed Lollipop on my Sk17i / Mango yesterday and so far everything seems to work just fine (well except for my crashing touchscreen but that is not the ROMs fault ;) ).

I did however notice 2 little things, that could be improved in my opinion:

1. being a German user I'd really like to see Ä Ö Ü preselected when I use the hardware keyboard and press A O U long to access the special letters. The rom I used before (4.4.4 AOKP) had them in the (for me) better order.

It would be even better, if the currently selected key was used automatically once any other "letter key" is pressed, so I don't have to lift my finger and use the Enter Key.

Is there a way for me to edit which keys are shown in which order? (using the command line won't be much of a problem for me)

2. the camera button is not working for me
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] anikanu:
not sure about you....but since a long time only gapps seem to be making my phone laggy....i dont use google apps anymore neither on stock nor on any custom roms

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Zack316:
Hi,

Aren't there any FTF's instead of boot.img that can be used to flash the kernel ? Flashing the boot.img requires fastboot and adb, and it's a pain for noobs like me, if the "waiting for device" is always there, and you keep on downloading all the drivers, but are still stuck because you're not doing something right.

Would appreciate any replies guys. Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Th3 Ant:
Which recovery are you using? In TWRP it is possible to flash .img files.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mardon:
We have recovery in boot.img so twrp would also fail. You need fastboot, there is no other way!

[MENTION=4842461]Rrreutel[/MENTION],

You can find it on Mike's GitHub. The commit: "defconfigs: mogami/zeus: Give all the space to /system".

I'm not sure if this is the right way, how to do it. But I did it in this way:

Edit the file "lx_urushi_defconfig" (for urushi) in \kernel\semc\msm7x30\arch\arm\configs\ (CM11 tree).

Find the line with the memory layout:

CONFIG_CMDLINE="androidboot.hardware=semc androidboot.selinux=permissive mtdparts=msm_nand:460800k@94720k(system),480768k@555520k(userdata),8192k@1036288k(cache)"

Replace with this one:

CONFIG_CMDLINE="androidboot.hardware=semc androidboot.selinux=permissive mtdparts=msm_nand:941568k@94720k(system),8192k@1036288k(cache)"

Then You can build the CM11 kernel through you can flash the CM12 build.

Lollpop for st15i simultron? Link for download?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
Some first observations with an experimental build of LX12 on my Urushi (Xperia Ray):

My config:

- class 6 micro SD card (for testing: 8GB with 5GB fat32 and a 2GB F2FS partition (to mount to /data)

- running a homebuilt 20141218 LX12 (straight from the standard github repo's)

- LX12 ROM is flashed by a CM11 boot.img, built with some alterations to partition sizes (thanks to Petruni's hints, see here)

My first impressions:

- speed feels indeed slower than LX11, but not dramatically slow in my opinion, it's pretty usable. Browsing in Chrome is about the same speed with LX11 and LX12. With Google Maps there was about a factor 2 lower 'framerate' in LX12. Other apps were somewhere in between. The launcher is responsive, although the appdrawer is not 100% smooth.

- I manually changed CPU clock to 1401, governor to smartassV2 and IO scheduler set to row (row gave the best Antutu IO score in my case, I tested noop and cfq as well, all are close though). I used adb shell to set these, but since the kernel has the necessary support, I expect performance management apps to work as well.

- first boot after flashing takes about 10-15 minutes. Slow but faster than what I expected (30 min)

- Antutu 5.3 overall score: 8927 (@1401Mhz)

To manage expectations: LX12 is not fully functional yet, so at the moment it is just an interesting experiment to run it, not suitable for daily use. Mike has not released LX12 yet (see his earlier post here) so until then there is no official nightlies/downloads.

Still: very cool to see it running nicely on my old 2011 device, thanks Mike and all other devs! :cool:

i am using pico gapps(only 28mb) and rom still smooth no lag at all no battery drain problem like we have in cm11

yess few problem like outgoing call not working without this build prop line ro.telephony.ril.config=fakeiccid. recovery not working front camera not working.but rest of all working fine.i can say if we fix recovery then it will be great.

( one major problem of our old devices) .

i think it would be the best rom if these some problems can be fixed. and all cm 11 features includes.

Does this actually work for you on a 2011 device? I tried this and it does not solve outgoing calls problem for me. Also I can't find in the code where this property value would be used anyway (e.g. no reference to fakeiccid). The only place where I see it used when googling is in a Samsung S2 repo, where is is probably part of a bigger set of changes.

Repeat the procedure :

1. Flash .587 firmware (excluding kernel and simlock.TA files from flashtool) - not necessary but rceommended.

2. Flash the kernel given in the zip.

3.Go to recovery (Wipe data/factory reset, cache and everything).

4. Flash the ROM,

Hi all devs, I've been looking forward to CM12.

1. Is there going to be some instruction how to flash CM 12 on Arc S?

2. You all are talking about partitioning sdcard but nobody is talking about how to make partitions and what partitions are required to flash CM12?

3. Is this going to be automated with new kernel?

4. What type/size of sdcard is required?

Thanks all devs for good work and for helping us with 2011 devices.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
Try here for a start for Arc-S (use Google translate if necessary).

In short:

- Prepare your SD card offline (e.g. laptop): 1st primary partition is normal (e.g. fat32), 2nd should be formatted ext4, 2GB is an OK size for the 2nd, which will be mounted as /data

- Use a custom boot.img to prepare the new partitioning scheme (wipe all and format partitions), then install the CM12 ROM. See the link above for Arc-S, or compile a CM11 boot.img with new partition sizes, see here for a hint.

- after that choose advanced->shutdown from CWM instead of rebooting, the correct kernel is not yet in place.

- flash the CM12 boot.img using fastboot, then reboot. Don't panic if it takes a long time (e.g. 10 minutes).

It's currently a bit of a hassle, and the ROM is (pre-)alpha stage, not feature-complete and not ready to be used as daily driver. if the above doesn't make sense to you, or you need you phone for, you know, calling and stuff, it is better to wait till Mike releases a more complete and user-friendly nightly with a working integrated simple recovery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] uchielzz:
Reboot to recovery

After I follow your steps and power on the phone, my phone keeps rebooting into recovery mode.

What's wrong??

And when I power off the phone after installing zip, there are two choices of fix root confirmation : yes (fix root) and no, which one that I should do?

Thanks for reply :)
