Rom Problem

I've just downloaded and flashed my old Xperia S with this rom and it's starting normally, but the setup assistant keeps crashing and i can't exit it. First I thought it was because I had no sim inserted, but no I think it has more to do with my broken WLAN. What schould I do ? Is there a way to disable startup assistant?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mariusfl0rian:
Hey guys, I'm new to aosp and I have a problem with this rom. My sim card doesn't work, it gives me an force close everytime I tip in my sim pin.

After I enter the pin, there comes this dialog with the force close and after I press on Ok, I have to enter the pin again :(

Sorry for my bad English, I hope you could understand. How can I solve it? I searched already in this thread but found nothing.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheBestDestroyer:
Maybe try to disable the pin on another device and then try it again ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mariusfl0rian:
Thanks for your answer, I already tried, but the problem was not gone. I got force closes and a dialog with restarting phone, because a sim was inserted. The whole time.. But I installed another custom rom, the .96 and now it works. Thank you :)

then this error is shown : Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/nAOSProm

what should or can i do now to fix this?

thanks for help :good:

Flash the doomkernel first and then flash the rom. Extract the zip and flash the kernel.elf using fastboot or flashtool.

Sudden freezes

I'm on b22 now and sometimes the system freezes badly. For example I can tap on the SMS reminder and the messenger takes about 30 seconds to launch and display the chat. System and Dialer can also become "not responding". They become responding again, but it may last for 10-15 seconds. Such behaviour is not often and can be settled by reboot, but soon may happen again. Does anyone face such problems?

Hi i tried today to install the rom 5.1 i actually make it happened but i realize that i install b20 not latest b22.so i tried to put b22 and something goes wrong.when i am trying to install from recovery i can't and now the phone doesnt open it.It stucks at the sony logo at the begin and i can't do anything.I can only go to recovery menu but i dont know how to return to the last android system.For b22 which kernel must i install with flashtool?Help and sorry for my english i hope you understand..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bettinoxda:
hello

is not who missed the move:

..

4. Unmount every partitions except the sdcard.

controls well the various steps of the flash.

If you come already from previous versions you do not need any kernel.

Here is the 10 step instruction to flash and you have to follow from step 3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60708504
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dkasim:
i follow the steps but it doesn't helps.for example at step 3 i dont find the data wipe.at steps 5 and 7 when i try to install, the installation failed and at step 9 i dont think i have Supersu.zip to flash it and if i have it i dont know where it is.There is a way to restore my previous android system an try the installation again from the begin?Because i think that my mobile is now for the garbages.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Did You backup Your previous ROM via TWRP? If yes, then You can restore it. If no, then it might be possible to as long as You haven't wiped system and data partitions.

If You have a previous backup, then flash this kernel via fastboot and restore Your backup from TWRP.

If You don't have backup and haven't wiped system/data partitions, flash this kernel via fastboot and then flash the ROM via CWM. Just don't wipe anything. Note, do this step only if You are using same ROM but different versions.

Also, there is no need to flash SuperSU since nAOSP is pre rooted, You just need to enable it from settings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

Yes, 5.xx Roms are pre-rooted and have integrated Superuser, but there are some apps not working correctly with Superuser, but working fine with Supersu. So, that's a matter of choice or apps requirements installed on phone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dkasim:
No i don't back up my previous ROM.I think that i wiped system and data partitions but im not sure.When you tell to flash the kernel via fastboot an then flash rom what rom do you mean?in which folder is the ROM you mean.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I cannot tell which folder You copied the ROM to, it should be in the internal memory though. Can You boot into TWRP? If yes, then You can copy the ROM to phone by using adb. Boot Your phone into TWRP and connect it to PC. Then copy the ROM.zip to the adb folder and run following command in adb commandline window:

adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/

This will copy the ROM.zip to internal storage and then You can flash it via TWRP.

Don't You know how to flash kernel via fastboot using flashtool?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dkasim:
I install the kernel you said an install the lollipop ROM that with previous kernel have problem nAOSProm-5.1-b20 and gapps and the installation completed .The phone opened and i hope the system will be ok.Thanks you so much for the help. ps if i have problem i will let you know :p

stability?

Is this rom stable? does it have a lot of bugs?

I have been out of touch with xperia s development for a while and i need a stable rom

Which rom would you guys recommend as the most stable?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dkasim:
I finally installed nAOSProm 5.1 and it seems good.Which the difference nAOSProm an SimpleAOSP-L which is better?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bettinoxda:
I recently installed SimpleAOSP-L and compared to nAOSProm you see now is more like, customizable. Now I'm seeing if there are sudden starts or other bugs.

A problem encountered with the nAOSP-Lrom was the operation of Bluetooth headsets - sony sbh80 - I could hear the music but I could not listen to phone calls. With SimpleAOSP-L instead does not make me conclude mating .... then the situation has worsened.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
IMO both ROMs are very good.there is a truth that every ROM has some positive sides and negative sides.few days b4 I have installed naosp b22 and it's pretty stable..although now I am using Simpaosp but I am waiting for b23...ghost touch is the no1 problem in both the ROMs... Hope it will be fixed in next update...otherwise both are solid
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nicofossa:
Good work!

I finally installed the ROM and i'm very impressed because it's very stable (only 1 reboot in 3 days).

Unfortunately I cant install Facebook from the PlayStore; I can install it using an apk (the installation is very very very slow!) but then I can't update it (same error of the installation). Disabling the swap didn't solve the problem.

Now it's time for a question: it's possible to use superSu instead of SuperUser?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dastX:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
If You had CWM previously, it will be wiped after You flash the ROM. Also, since You were using a recovery that came with the kernel, it will not remain. You will need to flash the TWRP again after flashing the ROM. The optimizing apps part is normal, You need to let it complete.

Even I own Xperia SL and it supports TWRP (as Xperia S=Xperia SL). Go here to flash the ROM. Also, if You have flashed ROM and have root, but no TWRP, follow the "Flashing TWRP " guide from here.

Install apps on SD card instead of moving apps

Maybe at the next update you should think about adding a option to install apps from google play store straight into SD card instead of moving the installed apps to SD card

Just giving an opinion

Because when I'm using this phone I have this problem for not enough space to install some apps

Got a huge space on SD card,but phone storage is too small

Only can install a few apps

Normally,after installed facebook,twitter,messenger,instagram and some of the apps

I couldn't install any other apps because phone storage is out of space

I would rate 5 instead of 4 if you add this feature in the next update

camera button while locked

Hello,

first thank you for your work and this great ROM.

I have one question. Is it possible to use the camera button while phone is locked, to start the camera software?

Best regards

wewa00

EDIT: I now tried my bluetooth headset (it is an plantronics explorer 50). The voices I hear are heavily distorted and it is nearly impossible to understand the person I've called. Also my recorded voice is distorted and not to understand. Are there any known issues on that or any bug fixes?

(The headset worked fine with stock rom and is still working fine with other phones.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] origpumu:
I have changed my setting for swappiness to 0 and the phone feels smooth and faster than before. Was it original setting from your rom (swappiness=100) or was it a mistake by me with some old settings from device control app? What is the suggested value for this option?

Distorted sound via bluetooth headset

I'm on b22 and suffering under weird Bluetooth issues. My headset connects fine, but sound is really distorted. Audio is garbled and robotic sounding, and not understandable to either party on call. Headset worked fine with stock ROM and still works with other phones. I also tried several other headsets with my Xperia S. But all show same issues.

Will there be a fix for this in coming versions?

Hi [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION],

Thanks for this rom, it works very well for me.

About facebook installation issue:

I found out by googling (I'm unable to add link here) that there is 6 minute timeout for installing (art compilation) of any application. That can be disabled by adding

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-flags=--no-watch-dog

to /system/build.prop

I succeed to install facebook using that switch, so I suggest you to add it to/system/build.prop in the next ROM build,

or maybe you can increase that time by editing this part of dex2oat.cc:

// 6 minutes scaled by kSlowdownFactor.
static const unsigned int kWatchDogTimeoutSeconds = kSlowdownFactor * 6 * 60;

I have cell standby battery drain issue when mobile data is turned on, so most of the time I'm keeping it off. Is there anything that can be done about that?

You can perform a dirty flash if you are on a previous version of the rom. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the newer version without wiping data.

Although clean flash is always recommended.

You can also backup your apps with data using apps like titanium backup. They come in handy for a clean flash.

After you have downloaded nAOSProm-5.1-b23, open it using winrar and extract "boot.img" file only. flash "boot.img" file using flashtool. Open flashtool and connect your device in fastboot mode (connect it while pressing volume up). click on lighting icon in the flashtool and select fastboot mode. Next click "select kernel to flash" and browse to the "boot.img" that you have extracted earlier. after finish flashing it, click "reboot device into system". And it will enter TWRP recovery.
