It's the one over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712253

By the way, this is how I have done it:

- Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard.

- Do a backup in TWRP, with external storage set as backup location.

- Fastboot flash the boot.img from 20150620 build.

- Then follow steps 8-14 from the guide linked above.

- Enter the storage menu in recovery and check data partition.

- Tap "FS Options" and "Change FS" to whatever file system you've been using before.

- Do the same for internal storage.

- Restore your backup and backed-up files.

- Reboot.

- Enter the Terminal commands in OP to fix internal storage permissions.

If you don't mind following these steps, I could add them to OP as soon as they are confirmed working. :)

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] I manually installed that swap scripts, but I'm eager to know what were your modifications.

And is there a way to lock some apps in actuall memory? I don't wanna have have systemui in swap, makes phone laggy.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] RapidD:
I've done the same this week. Except I used only TWRP, adb is not necessary.

You can run "parted" directly from TWRP terminal.

All on latest build.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
As long as you don't remove any other partitions than the ones mentioned in the thread, there is no risk. Just stick to the instructions and you'll be fine :)

I've set swappiness to 75, swap file size to 300, minimum free space to 300 and swap location to data. :)

And SystemUI, just like any app running in foreground will not be swapped. Swap only affects inactive apps like launchers and apps that were not closed properly. :good:

That's what I tried first, but somehow I couldn't enter any other commands like "print" afterwards. :o

Terminal always stated that there existed no such command.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] draganz:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] : I am afraid to try those manual swapping thing. But I saw a app in PlayStore which can create a swap file in internal storage or SDcard. RAM Manager Pro If I use this app, am I able to swap?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] RapidD:
Yes, this confused me too.

But you can enter commands like this:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 14

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 15

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 1621 (your value here)

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 14 Userdata

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 (value as above) 7818

I am looking the AROMA SWAP thread.

Xperia V it's not supported directly..... Just tried to install with TWRP.

So I think that I should follow the SUPPORT YOUR DEVICE instructions.......but it's not clear how to set the various swap sizes.....that normally would be done by the AROMA Installer in TWRP if I understood well.

Any help?

*** EDIT ***

It looks that I managed manual installation with very latest version (v512).

First Reboot was quite longer than normal. In the beginning the screen was ON but black for a long time and I was afraid that it was blocked or bricked.....but then started the Cyanogen animation....with some lags.

Now I have to make some tests but already looks like there are improvements in phone responsiveness!

For sure I exagerated with Swap sizes but it's the first test.

Before installation the Free Space for Swap was this (about...I don't remember exactly): /cache 224mb, /data 620mb and /system 640mb.

If I did everything correctly I should have set Swap Sizes as follow: /cache 108mb, /data 508mb and /system 508mb.

The idea was to get 1 GB of Swap. Probably useless.

Anyway the free space available in every section will not be used in any other way, am I right?

Problems in version Latest CM12.1 version: Link (Last updated: Sep 12)

It isn't possible go out from recovery. Reboot / Shutdown ... mobile freeze in recovery.

When I want to install some app 3MB so I get message - You don't have enough space in storage. I have 3 GB free space and after aproximately one hour it's possible to install .This is verz random.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] saved-j:
I must suggest this is not a CM problem, seems more like device-specific. Try flashing NeoKernel or any other CM12.1 kernel to assure the recovery problems really go from this specific neo-cm12.1-recovery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LaShto34:
Nice rom. And pretty stable.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] saved-j:
mr. Neo.

Your ROM is so awesome. But my specific SXV seems to have some sort of hardware problems. It goes into Sleep Of Death on any kind of CM12.1... again, hearing that CyberShot has been finally ported, and having the "Enfriar ROM" which brings back the whole Sony Style, i tried staying at lollipop... flawless... neat... nifty... but Sleep Of Death made my choice. Even on CLEAN INSTALL. Phone can even look like it's OK in standby - flashing the LED of missed call or missed message... but doesnt react on power button or plugging the charger! Can you please comment? Have you experienced something similar? Is there a way?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Considering the swap stuff above, I have to say that a few memory leaks and force closes made me revert the modification in favor of improved stability.

So I personally cannot recommend swap (at least with my personal configuration) anymore. :)

When exactly do these SoD issues occur? :o

Didn't have a single SoD in 10 months of using this ROM..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Drunkware:
I was experiencing SOD after an unproper configuration of my CPU voltage and governor settings, but now it's perfect:good::good:

Just few suggestions: Let the CPU settings stay as they are after a clean installation. Also, try avoiding apps that can cause CPU undervolting/underclocking, modifiers like Xposed, and everything that you may find suspicious! Use your phone few days and see if the problem still exist.

Good luck :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I set swappiness to 50, I have two 225 swap files one in cache and the other in system.

It works nice until something around ~180 MB of first swap file is full, phone becames totally frozen, after a minute or two soft reboot happens...

I'll make a 150 MB swap with swappiness of 50 or 40 to see if it helps something ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rino-artemis:
With my XV I have the same SOD.

I tried already to raise the voltage, with no luck.

Bests

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] saved-j:
Oh man... If only i could follow your suggestions... but I went further - i get SODs even on clean installations.

Once I even only installed gapps and downloaded google maps... opened g-maps and got a HANG ! again had to pull off the battery...

seems like my device pwns me.

I will again try Lollipop in a few days, cuz in these several days of testing I totally had no phone and some people lost me. And will try HARD to stay on CLEAN installation. Without Swap. Without undervolting and PerformanceControl (and no greenify cuz it's useless without Xposed). Sucks but I will try to run it... asking myself, why do I need LP then?)

p.s. i had 386mb of swap on /data/swap/, with swappiness of 20. worked normally.

p.p.s. i have always had the same (undervolting, etc) settings in Performance Control for voltage and speed of CPU on my ROM (Poison@JB 4.3) and nothing freezes, hangs or anything. Except for very rare kernel offers 162..1620 mhz at JB 4.3, neither Poison has.

try FauxSound.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Sagenut:
I report my experience with this ROM up to now.

- Installed Nova Launcher to solve the problem of disappearing icons on Home on Reboot. --- WORK ---

- Installed FauxSound to enhance volumes. --- WORK ---

- Installed Kernel Adiutor to optimize CPU. ---WORK, testing to undervolt every frequency without reboots. ---

- Installed Script for SWAP to resolve Lags and Redraws exiting from heavy apps. --- WORK ---

- Installed Snap Camera to have better management of camera. --- WORK ---

- Installed all the Apps that I want (and going on) and moved everything possible on SD. --- WORK ---

- Uninstalled all the System Apps that I replaced with something else: Live Wallpapers, Trebuchet, AudioFX, Photocamera, Browser, Email. --- WORK ---

Up to now I had only 1 (ONE) sudden reboot during normal usage.

Considering all of this I am absolutely impressed by the stability and performace of NEO's ROM.

This is the first custom ROM that I try on my Xperia V but I think that with such results I will not look to try any other............................At least for now. :laugh:

What settings did You use with Kernel Adiutor and what SWAP scripts?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Zed Sharif:
I have installed the version 12 this saturday. Although it took me a while to understand all the steps, as its my first ever root, I got the system finally running in the morning. Been testing it since.

The issue that I am having:

I think its a bit slow than the stock version as CM v12 is Lollipop. I have tried some tweaks but have not seen any noticeable difference. Probably Xperia V hardware isn't powerful enough to run Lollipop.

Had issue with signing in some apps but that was fixed by rebooting the system.

shortcuts on the home screen somehow disappear after some time. I think it was due to the battery saver app I installed. Uninstalled the app so will see what are the results.

Seems like the battery time is lesser than before. Maybe its just me.

Thank you for the wonderful support.

Please let me know of any solution to harmless issues I am having
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Wrong & old quote mate :p from 2014...

WhiteNeo is supporting this device :) It's not me :laugh:

That post was my first review for first build of this awesome rom.

By the way, for battey, undervolt your device. (I use Kernel Auditor to do it). Remember to enable "set on boot". And do not touch other parts such as governor, io scheduler, and min/max cpu frequencies if you don't wanna mess up with performance.

And use Greenify + Xposed to decrease your deep sleep battery consumption and a little more performance and free RAM.

For perfomance don't use any task killer and Link2SD app ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks mate, nothing more to add! :D

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

By the way, as tomorrow is my birthday I'll try to release a new build. Anniversary edition or whatever. :laugh:

Also, the work on my theme is making great progress. Probably I've invested more than 200 hours by now. And finally, I think I will be able to release it by the end of this week.

The switchable accent color thing that I planned before seems to be too complicated for now, so expect around 5 nice themes with different color palettes.

A free test version will also be released, but with less themed apps most likely. :)

I will create a new thread for this project in general themes section as soon as it's done, and I hope you spread the word by then. :D

Will attach a screenshot of how the theme looks so far :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
My bet is it will take at least two additional weeks until CM13(?) is stable enough for daily use. As soon as we have reports of other phones running M, I will start working on bringing it to our Xperia. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Sagenut:
Here is the post where to find the latest SWAP Script: 98SWAP v5.12

Then follow installation instructions on the 4th post of that thread because Xperia V it's not supported directly.

I am still playing with swap settings but it looks to give an hand already on default settings.

My actual set is: /cache 108 Mb /data 408 Mb /system 408 Mb Swappiness 100

About Kernel Adiutor I am still in early settings. About undervolt I am planning to stress test every frequency individually to obtain the best from everyone. For now I can say that at 162Mhz my device is stable even at 750mV.

But if I try to set -100 to all frequencies I got reboot probably because for higher frequencies that is a too big dropdown. Due to this I decided to work on 1 frequency at a time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] palomino7:
Do you think first problem GO OUT FROM RECOVERY? or problem with FREE SPACE IN STORAGE?

Otherwise now I can't install nothing. I have 3GB free in internal storage. Build is stable - no restart, no freeze meanwhile. Against to CARBON RON 4.4 it's slow CM. And baterry is down very quick. I have two baterries so problem it shouldn't be in baterry.

It's free, supports everything even Faux Audio. And it has a very nice Material Design.

And here we go! European time tells me I'm a little late, but here's the promised build for today. :)

Includes minor fixes, as well as Xperia lollipop softkeys, as requested by [MENTION=4302572]skyflasher62[/MENTION]. Also CM sources appear to be more stable this time. :good:

You might notice several themes fail to install after updating to this build. Apparently we themers have to stick to even stricter rules to make themes install fine from now on. Had to edit my own theme, too. :D So in case you have issues, just tell your themers to batch replace all "@android:" with "@*android:" in overlays folder and the theme should work again. :good:

phone reboots - specially in apps info

hi , first thanks for this fantastic smooth & fast ROM

i install last version of 12.1 20150929 rom ( do all steps wipes , rom , gapps , Su )

the rom installed without any error or bootloading or problem

but there is one strange problem :

- it doesnt matter which app i must select from "setting/apps/" menu , the phone will stuck in calculating Data & cache & total computing

phone not hang but even if i exit from app info with home key , phone will restart after a min ( on computing this )

and the same issue when i want install or uninstall some apps

i wonder why this happened ! specially when it seems both Internal and SD memory work well without any problem in read or mount

* i have the same issue in version 20150603
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Nop, I just reduced min freq to 162. Overclocking makes my device hotter.

Yeah ondemand and fiops.

And I use a 250 mb swap in cache folder

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] I've found a work around for swap files memory leakage

I use v512 script, I downloaded this terminal app from Google Play.

Then I set initial command like this :

su
/etc/init.d/98swap_all_v512 status
/etc/init.d/98swap_all_v512 restart

So when my device starts lagging, I close all apps and open terminal app, in less than a minute and two, it'll clear swap files and restarts them :)

Sudden Reboot

I am using CyanogenMod version 12-20150906 NIGHTLY-tusubasa .

My only problem is that, my phone reboots at least 3 times a day specially when I use camera app.

The default camera is not so good , So I tried to use "Camera 360" and "Snap camera" .

It turns off or reboot automatically sometimes when I Hangup my phone after talking.

After the Reboot or Sudden Shutdown my phone battery decreases like from 70% to 12% .

after testing about 50 Different Roms and Kernels i found out there is no fantastic or no bugs for Sony V at all !!

slow , battery drain , weak camera , reboots , hangs , bad antenna , weak wifi and many problems see in all of them one by one

i think we must let this phone go and try some new models or brands or even platform . my brother have Iphone 6s and have very little problems

also after i bought 3 models of Sony , i found out the only benefits of these phones is supporting new android versions ! battery is weak in most of them , performance is weak too ( till z2)

i`m really tired of testing and installing new roms , new kernels , swap partition and install apps everytime and lose many data of my apps again and again

and never get a lovely roms without specific problem at all :silly:

Most of ROMS just play with boot logo , change name ad version in about , add or remove some apps

there is no really revolution in Core of code or performance , anyway this rom is one of the best

1- try to install original CyanogenMod 12 and 12.1 from CyanogenMod website

2-Remove SD card and install and work with phone without it

3-install Rom only ( ignore gapps and Su ) for testing that maybe something wrong with them

4- Flash fresh 9.2.A.1.210 + Fix , fastboot boot.img , Do the full wipes in recovery , flash Rom

5- Flash fresh 9.2.A.2.5 , fastboot boot.img , Do the full wipes in recovery , flash Rom

Anyone using Runkeeper, ZombiesRun or Runtastic? Any experience with Sygic or Waze?

My XV measures 7-8kms on a 10km run.... but once it was 82kms and my average speed was 60km/h... :D

I think Waze was the last drop in the bucket. I had GPS fixed for about 15minutes during a 80minute ride... it constantly dropped signal.

I've used GPS Test and GPS Status, read thorugh a lot of topics, tried to push the back... it's crap.

Been using for two days and works great.

One problem; the "LiveDisplay" feature doesnt seem do work if set to automatic. It works if I change to night/day manually though.

Other than that I found no bugs or problems thus far.

Drains about 1% of the battery per hour while not being used (amazing). :good:

Aria.A97's Debloater Script does help I think.

Thanks.
