Hey, i can confirm it works for xperia SL. I'm using the same model, although after flashing, it will say xperia s on your device.

This is my first time to root, unlock bootloader and flash a rom, i never had any issues while installing it.

Just follow the instructions on page 1. Hope you can get it to work! Cheers!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Some said that it was solved by disabling Double to unlock, but it hadn't worked for Me. Hence I switched ROM.

[MENTION=465998]schumifer1[/MENTION] Sorry buddy, had been a bit busy, so couldn't check the dialer lockscreen icon. Now that I checked the app, after uninstalling, the icon doesn't appear for Reactiv dialer app. I guess the icon is inbuilt for the inbuilt dialer app.

It means that it has been overclocked already to a fixed value, You cannot overclock it manually.

Even I have an Xperia SL and am able to flash the ROM's easily. Follow the procedure from here.

in this ROM does not work neither music player. how can I fix it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mephion:
I installed the latest build this morning. During the day the phone reboot four times. But after flashing new kernel I had no more random reboots until now.

The issue I noticed so far is that I can't restore apps using titanium backup. Titanium recognized root, but showed a message that supersu binary wasn't supported. I tried to restore apps anyway, but the restore wouldn't finish. So I flashed the super su beta 2.30 and now it's restoring apps normally.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] StarChaserX:
I flashed the ROM last night and here is my two cents of update after 12 hours of use.

I chose the weekend night to make sure that my connectivity remains stable and I can revert back to (relatively) more stable KitKat by the sun dawn. Thankfully that did not happen, and I am pretty ok with the new ROM

I had the problem in flashing with TWRP that was also reported earlier, but it went away after a reboot (no idea why it came and how it was solved).

The ROM is GREAT, so many thanks to [MENTION=527218]mickyb[/MENTION]rat for the the port.

I find it faster and more fluid than Carbon 4.4.4. The animations are smooth and the overall responsiveness is significantly better. I did not find any random reboots or Wi Fi battery drain or 'Miscellaneous' appearing in Battery usage.

I somehow feel that the apps (Facebook, Twitter, Power amp) are now actually performing visibly faster and without the lag that I was experiencing with KitKat. May be the ART is dong its job and the governor and I/O schedulers are optimized.

I plan not to revert to Kit Kat and add some more apps and see how it goes. I have not tested the ROM extensively but just wanted to put that I did not have the common issues that were reported for earlier builds

The only thing I miss is "Performace" Options. Though that s a good to have.

Will keep the community posted as I add apps like Viber, Skype and may be give Nova a try.

Thumbs up for the Dev Team

Music player issues

Music player stops responding when play controls(play/pause, next, previous) are used. I see this issue with both the default and the Fusion music app from the play store. This issue was there in b08 as well.

Is there any music app thats working perfectly with this ROM?

I am using Power Amp and it is working perfectly fine.

Random reboot boot-b09b.img

I had a random reboot after flashing the new kernel boot-b09b.img. I was using Google Maps navigation, with only GPS active and 3G connection. The screen was turned off and the earphone was plugged when the reboot happened.

The last_kmsg is attached. I couldn't get it as soon as the phone reboot, but I hope it still helps identifying the issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mephion:
Had another random reboot. This time it happened while I was using Facebook. I got the last_kmsg as soon as the phone boot up again. The log is attached.

I also tried to follow the instructions from [MENTION=3952590]enriquettoo[/MENTION] on the main thread about turning the option for titanium backup to force using system Busibox. But I couldn't restore any apps after changing this option.

Now I'm flashing supersu beta again to restore the rest of the apps from my backup.

Return of the Miscellaneous!

Ok. Now my experience with the nAOSP 5.0.1 b09 was pretty good, till I find myself running out of storage space and did a repartitioning of the Storage.

Since I reflashed (the same) ROM and GAPPS, I am seeing around 30% of battery being eaten by Miscellaneous. This was not there before I increased the /data partition.

I had my first random reboot in 4 hours of usage, whereas I used around 20 hours with my previous run without any problem.

So, this is a little confusing for me because there is no change other than a bigger /data partition.

Flash the gapps for lollipop. Search for CM12 gapps. Download them and flash them :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] StarChaserX:
Flash GApps

You probably did not flash GApps. Make sure you flash proper version of GApps.

Besides, CM12 minimal does not have all the apps (like Chrome, Google Keep, Google Earth or Google Camera) these you will have to download yourself.

Hey guys, noob here. I'm flashing for the first time on my Xperia S. While installing the ROM from CWM recovery I get an error [STATUS 7] saying, This rom is for ''nozomi'' devices. This is LT26i. Please help :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
If you have already downloaded the zip for the new rom (which I think you would have since you flashed the kernel) and placed it on sdcard, you could flash it using doomkernel as well. Just boot into cwm recovery wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and flash the rom and gapps.

You could then install the twrp recovery after that.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Try flashing doomkernel first. Reboot the device in recovery. Then try flashing the rom.

It should work :)

bro will this replace my old CWM right ? ... plus do i also need Wi Fi Module for Doom Kernel with it ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
Yeah it will replace the old cwm. And then when you flash the rom you won't have cwm anymore as there would be a new kernel of the new rom. You don't have to flash anything else. Just flash the kernel. Reboot in recovery. Wipe data, cache , dalvik cache and flash the rom and gapps.

Download twrp 2.8.4.1 from here (not sure about the 2.8.5.0). Place it on sdcard and rename it to fotakernel.img (img being the extension of the file). Then run the following commands using terminal emulator.

Can I install it with locked bootloader on my Xperia S?

If so, can somebody help me by giving me a step by step guide, please? :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You need an unlocked bootloader as the rom needs a custom kernel. Visit here to unlock your bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mickey8881:
locked bootloader

"In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked."

In my case it says: NO.

So, can I install this ROM or any other ROM into my Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
Then unfortunately you cannot. Sorry

You can try other custom roms which can be installed on locked bootloader but they are jb.

Actually I read that

"s for CM roms, slimrom, AOSP, carbon roms etc will include a custome kernel and these roms must need unlocked bootloader .. check this link for various custom roms .. LB is for locked bootloader and UB is for unlocked bootloader"

So does it mean that every ROM could work on LB if the creator of the ROM made an LB version of it as well?

-Internal storage (sdcard) won't mount

I'm having a strange issue in my xperia s. After a fresh install plus gapps, i can acess sd card, and it mounts.

After a few hours of usage sdcard gets unmounted , and even a sdcard format through twrp gets this issue solved. I boot the phone again , and using "es explorer" from store, i still cannot acess the sd card, i get the message "umounted sdcard". i tried to manually mount the sd card trought twrp, and using the file explorer from trwp , i can acess the partition sdcard.

Any thoughts?? =/

Sorry for taking your time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You have cwm with PA?? I think PA already has twrp.

Well, if you have cwm, you can try flashing it directly (it does work with cwm 6.0.2.7 and 6.0.3.0...I have tried that)

Alternatively, you can install twrp.

Then you can flash the kernel of this rom. Only then flash the rom with gapps.

You already have twrp right? Just flash the boot.img from the rom through fastboot and reboot in recovery. Then unmount everything except sdcard and flash rom and gapps.

Wait for some time when you are flashing the rom (it takes some time 5 minutes or so)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
Do one thing. You have placed the rom and gapps on sdcard right?

Just flash doomkernel first. Then reboot in recovery and try to flash the rom and gapps. Give it a try. (you don't have to flash anything else)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Super98:):
And the boot.img from nAOSP rom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You don't have to flash that for this. Just flash the doomkernel and flash the rom and gapps. I have tried that in the past. It works just fine.

Just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache as usual.

I was having an already mentioned problems with dt2w (two constantly pressed points on digitizer after carying in pocket.

I was thrilled that there is a fix with flashing patched kernel, so I did that. Fastboot flashed the new kernel over already installed v17. Unfortunately after day and a half of using the phone this very same issue has happened already twice. Both times thhe only thing that helped was reboot.

Did anyone else have this issue after using the new kernel? Is there something I could have done wrong that you can think of?

You can push the files to sdcard in recovery. Place the rom and gapps in the platform tools folder of sdcard. Now connect the device while in recovery and type the commands

adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/

(Use the filenames of rom and gapps)

You can then flash the rom :)

Slow Processing of my Xperia S

Hi,

I am using nAOSP ROM 5.0 for Xperia S (b18) with the latest Gapps. Every release is quite better and stable from it's previous release but one thing which has not changed is "slow processing". Phone dialer responds very slow and even gets stuck on outgoing calls.

Basically, everything responds slowly. I have moved every app on my SDCARD, still, the phone gets stuck at some points easily. I doubt that it might be something with storage and internal memory because I am facing this issue since Jelly Bean. (stock ROM), so it's not the Lollipop case!

I've even heard of overclocking CPU's but honestly don't know how to do that? Will it help?

What could be the possible reason of slow processing?

PS. My Internal Storage shows 569 MB available out of 1.97 GB. Why? I have moved every single app on my SD CARD! (See attached photo) :confused:

Sorry for being noob! :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You can try an overclocked kernel. Extract the zip of the rom and flash the oc or oc_ultra kernel, whichever you like, through fastboot or flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abhinavjoshua:
How to do it though fastboot? Could you please redirect me to a link? Thanks! :good:

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Is it possible to overclock kernel without flashtool? (I don't have flashtool now) Could someone please explain me how to overclock a kernel through fastboot?

Which kernel is safer? (except the non overclocked one)

The rom embedded 3 boot.img files:

boot.img : kernel NOT overclocked and flashed by default

boot.img-oc : CPU 1.73Ghz, GPU 3D 320Mhz, GPU 2D 266Mhz

boot.img-oc_ultra : Up to 2.05Ghz, GPU 3D 320Mhz, GPU 2D 266Mhz (by default CPU will run to 1.51Ghz).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You can flash the boot.img-oc, it is safe. You can flash it using adb too. Copy the .img file to folder where You have adb. Connect Your phone to PC powered on and unlocked and run the following commands:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img-oc

About the low app storage, it is due to ART, same apps take extra storage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abhinavjoshua:
Mirhawk on the rescue again! :good:

Thanks man!

One more question, could I flash the boot_oc with TWRP 2.8.5.0? I don't have sdk tool and adb installed on my system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
I mainly use boot.img-oc. You can try it.

You have android sdk or that adb fastboot folder right? Just place the kernel you want in platform tools folder. Switch off the phone. Connect the phone with pressing the volume+ button. Open command prompt in platform tools folder and type the following commands

fastboot flash boot boot.img-oc
fastboot reboot

Sorry, I missed the last sentence of your post. Try rashr app. Place the kernel in your sdcard. Rename it to boot.img. And use the app to flash the kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abhinavjoshua:
Hey Thanks! vishals16! But how to confirm it's overclocked now? I flashed the kernel through rashr app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
Goto developer options and check the nAOSP part. The overclocked section should indicate the overclocked value. Or you could install some cpu monitoring apps like trickster mod and check in them.
