Chrome is working as usual for me on the latest build.

But I am curious how GPS works, as I also had issues with GPS lately. My theory is that any update of the Google Play Services or cleaning the cache forces GPS to get an initial fix which could need up to 5 - 10 minutes. But then also after ~ one hour of GPS it sometimes breaks and cannot get a fix anymore at all.

I am going by bike every day and I use Endomondo to record - so I have a good overview if GPS is working or not. Sometimes it works really great, and then not at all...

Hello everyone! At the last assembly of anyone I put xposed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mEh91:
Does anybody else have problems with the phone getting really hot while using mobile data?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Sorry my fault, Chrome is working.

Can Anyone test UC Browser or Instagram plzzz???
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
Hi, sorry, I have non of the apps installed. Did you install / update the "Android System WebView"?

Regarding GPS: I now did some testing and in the logs (filtered for 'Location') this seems to be a candidate:

06-21 13:23:45.806 E/LocSvc_ApiV02(768): W/virtual loc_api_adapter_err LocApiV02::setXtraData(char*, int):1061]: failed status = eLOC_CLIENT_SUCCESS, inject_pos_ind.status = eQMI_LOC_ENGINE_BUSY_V02, part num = 60, ind.partNum = 0

Using Google I could not find anything.

My device did not get hot while I was testing with GPS and surfing for a solution in parallel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I did a clean install for 3 times :D I just wanna know if problem is on my side or not. (Gapps, apps, etc :D )

Edit: Never mind, it was the Gapps I was using. Another fresh install without Gapps and now everything works as it should. Thanks Neo ^__^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Drunkware:
Thank you very much, Neo! Hope it works fine until you come back!

Good luck on your exams!!!:):):):):):)

and sorry for flooding ;)

Totally confirm it! But it heats even when u listen to the music, but not that much! Undervolting fixes that a bit, but it doesn't help in the first case!

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], Thanks for another update! I'll easily wait even until the release of CyanogenMod 12.2 ;)

So, after some experiments I realized that modified SystemUI.apk FCs only while using Material Glass theme, so, I need to put a logcat in that thread, or you are interested in this too?

Also, can someone confirm play services not running at all?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks guys, really nice of you :)

[MENTION=6271858]SSVsSunSt[/MENTION]: You can send me the log (and the theme apk if you don't mind) - I might be able to modify the app to make it work with the new lockscreen.

I doubt that its dev would do anything to help you, as the new Sony lockscreen is no general or popular CM12 feature. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lcarolo:
I've done a clean install yesterday with gapps-lp-20150211-signed.zip and everything works fine! and i feel it faster that the last build (maybe because of the clean install ?)

thanks WhiteNeo !

Thank you white neo for this awesome ROM, thank you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arioman:
Well first of all , it`s my first time that use CyanogenMod and i think it`s wonderful and really great and different from other custom roms , i check most of custom roms but this , this is fantastic in both interface and Speed , no error in running apps or system apps

Just have 2 problems , the first is very important to me :

1- i want to enable my 3G mobile Data

i get the setting by sms in Offical Roms in my Phone , but now the sms not send or recive from them , its weired but i have the same problem in some other Custom roms too

so i try to add Apn manually , and after enter setting when i push save i get this :

Access point names setting are not available for this user

i try to add edit apns-conf.xml in root etc folder and add setting by no luck again

the i install APN Setting no success again !!!

So what can i do about this ??? i really like this rom but i need 3g data enable too ! i don't want go back to official roms

/////////////////////////////////////////////

2-After install this rom i can clearly see the battery usage is increased and the time take to charge battery increase too

i Try to disable Gps location , rotation , brightness to very low but not success

is there any services or setting for make my battery better ??

i use battery calibration app to reset battery after installing ROM too

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Cultureforu:
Hi guys.

We all are fans of Neo`s builds,but lollipop has brought us significant battery drain

The goal of this post is to provide everyone with some nice apps,you would love to use to get the most of your xperia v.

You may read this enormous post about battery saving.

Or,if you don`t want to go through that much lines of text you can continue reading my post.

So, first of all I assume you did a clean install with all wipes(data,system,cache) and have SuperSu onboard.

System

To keep story short, install Greenify-one of the most beloved apps. Run it and greenify the most of your apps( facebook,messenger,viber and dozens of other apps you have). Effect will be even better if you decide to buy Greenify(Donaton package)- in that case you`ll be able to greenify system apps such as most of the google apps(those are actually the biggest battery killer I`ve ever seen). To do that you should enable "greenifying system apps" in settings menu.

Kernel

As we all know, Neo had spent sleepless nights merging kernel tweaks. We should get the most out of them!

I suggest installing Kernel Adiutor. Follow these steps

run Adiutor>give it superuser permissions>go to CPU>tick apply on boot>set minimum frequency to 162Mhz>set governor to intellimm>enable multicore power saving

I also slightly decreased temperature limit( the maximum temperature your CPU is allowed to reach) to 50 *C. And tick "apply on boot".

I also recommend to slightly undervolt your device .Check this thread to see how to set voltages. You can find voltage tables in Adiutor.

In addition to that

There`s powerful feature that is working nearly as good as Sony`s "Stamina mod" . Power Nap-it`s ultra powerful xposed module. To download it you should join community and opt to become a tester.In a day or two you will be able to download the app from play store.

However, Power Nap is the option for those who still run 5.0 Lollipop,as xposed on 5.1 is not stable yet.

If you have any recommendations-PM me and I`ll add them to this post.

I
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Nice instructions mate! I also recommend the app Servicely.. You can disable most location related background processes of Google Play Services and improve battery life, as well as free around 40mb of ram that way. :)

Having around 400mb of free ram on my phone now, at normal usage. It's not as good as Jelly Bean, but still quite nice :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Cultureforu:
Will try this today.

Does anyone have custom camera app working with LP?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arioman:
Access point names setting are not available for this user !!!

please somebody help me , i get this in APN and cant save apn
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Try CameraMX :)

It even includes a Timeshift feature ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arioman:
Dear WhiteNeo

is my question seems stupid to you ?

why no one notice me or any suggesstion for me , like i`m robot or spam ??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SSVsSunSt:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], I'm suffering again of "This apps require Google services" I can't do a clean installation - I lost most of my phone contacts and after clean install I'll loose even hope to recover them...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Cultureforu:
Try to reflash gapps.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I am facing a similar issue (can't get rid of my lockscreen pattern because I don't have device admin permissions, apparently). Haven't found a solution yet. :/

Maybe multiuser is still somehow bugged in CM12.1 and we should disable it in next build?

Opinions, people! :D

Flash a different minimal gapps package. :)

Alternatively, you may also move PrebuiltGmsCore and its libraries to system/priv-app folder and set the proper permissions. If the folder is already there, backup and remove it, reboot, then copy it to system again.

The third way might be the easiest: Try to install the Play Services apk via Package Manager. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Creekone:
What's the point of having a phone with multiuser? I can't see any real practical reason at all...I do see an extended security worry with more than one user to attack.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] trondjl:
In case you still havent fixed it. I had the same problem with apn. It is a known cm12.1 error fixed in recent release. The solution is to go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases. Delete telephony.db and reboot. The default apns will reappear and can be edited.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SSVsSunSt:
I'm not a noob here! :mad:

I wiped system, caches and flashed ROM+GApps+SuperSU+Walkman v3.6. Reflashed GApps. Nothing.

Wow :eek: I remembered that problem appeared after pressing "Update all" in GPlay two weeks ago....:eek:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arioman:
i think for a SONY V with this low ram and internal memory many unused functions and options must be eliminate

multiuser is one of them , specially if the data and app for any user must be different and take space and ram

i don't test it so i have no idea , but i know that Phone is different with PC and i never see that 2 people share one phone together or need two users for operation system
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Format system via recovery, then flash ONLY the rom zip and supersu and tell me if it boots. :)

If yes, we certainly need a different gapps package.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arioman:
thanks for replay

i try this solution after edit apns-conf.xml and after reboot my SIM not reconize for a few second and then reconize it

but the APN is still empty ( i save and enter APN in Official Rom before install CM12.1 ROM but do you think the setting still remain in phone after full wipe and reset factory , if the answer is yes still no success to reappear in new rom )

it seems the User of phone have no access to Write or restore or save APN at all . i try to check and comparison permission of some folder and file related to SIM and APN between Official ROM 4.3 and CM12.1 but seems both are the same and it`s not problem

even try to use third party app like APN backup and restore 1.91 but not work in +4 and 5.0

i always have problem with low ram , low speed , hanging phone or keyboard . the CM12.1 is the only rom that i feel i buy a new phone without problems ( playing Clash of clans and have telegram , line , viber , whatsapp and many app together )

but i don't have access wifi all the time and i really need to use Data mobile
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NIKON1:
Hi, thanks. boot OK after flash according to your instruction without gapps. Please recommend minimum gapps stable with your rom. I used gapps-L-4-21-15 and gapps-L-5-1-15 and have lost some hours till your instruction :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Creekone:
Hey, WhiteNeo, is it an easy thing to make the internal SD be mounted without the noexec flag? I would do it in /etc/fstab but there are no fstab that I can find. I figure CM and android do these setting somewhere else?

I forgot to mention that I can't find the standard /etc/vold.fstab eather...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I will have to do some research.. Until I find a suitable package, user the official CM12.1 gapps. Just google for these :)

You gotta unpack the boot.img. In ramdisk you'll find a file called fstab.qcom. That's the one you want to edit.

However, wouldn't a remount init.d script be a cleaner approach? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Creekone:
Why oh why... Why is the mount options done this way?

I will go ahead and create a init script for a remount, are there any options that I should be careful and keep? I don't know a lot about android as I'm just a Linux tech...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
These are the lines used to mount internal storage..

/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc* auto ext4 defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:15,nonremovable,noemulatedsd
/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc* auto f2fs defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:15,nonremovable,noemulatedsd

I just had a look at these, and apparently as they are managed by vold, some default options are used (including noexec, probably).. Not sure if a remount script would do the trick, but you can try copying the exact mount options that are currently used (enter "mount" in Terminal) :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SSVsSunSt:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], you rescued my contacts book, the second method helped! ^-^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Creekone:
Thanks. As I said, I'm a Linux technician and have 25 years of UNIX-like systems under my belt ;) I already got this far.

There is a file named /fstab.qcom that contains just this exact info and some more partitions. I'm curious to what might happen if I edit this file, it might be that this file is somehow overwritten by the kernel at boot to prevent file system tampering. I have done this myself on several embedded systems and on a kiosk-like system install. :D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Well, editing this file won't help a lot, as it's overwritten in early stage of each boot, so default values would be used no matter what you do.

I guess you'd have to find a way to tell vold to allow the execution of files. Don't know how, tho. Sorry. :o

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ifilgud:
Yes, it works nice :D

I've a doubt related to the icon shown in the top right, like a blue user icon. In an Xperia Z2 tablet, it shows Google account icon, is there any way to give that icon some use?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SSVsSunSt:
You need to create YOUR contact in phone book and set a photo in there, after that your photo will be there.

Also, that icon is multiuser button.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ifilgud:
You mean, create an special contact or it has to have an specific name?

I knew it was for multiuser, but the doubht was about the icon hehe.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
And I'm glad about this! :D

That way I can use my spare time to enjoy the summer and continue the work on my theme :)

Will attach a screenshot, and I'm curious on your opinion people! :) Might release a beta in my holidays ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Looks very nice & promising :fingers-crossed:

BTW as far as I know using themes has bad impact on our low end devices specially in Lollipop thus I prefer something like Neo Wave.

I'm using that ROM right now, poor multitasking and much heating in Lollipop pissed me off.

Doesn't matter how nice animations Lollipop has, KitKat is much nicer for me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SSVsSunSt:
No, just go to "Contacts" app, and there will be "ME" string, just edit that contact.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I can't complain about bad multitasking on my phone, actually. :) Using Servicely to disable some services freed around 100mb of ram. Running my phone with quite strict minfree settings and still most apps don't get killed by the time I need them when multitasking. :good:

The way I added themes in NeoWave was a workaround that would have to be re-added and updated on every framework (=ROM) update, so it's quite an effort to maintain several accent colors. :)

I guess it all depends on what and how much stuff CM12 themes actually change and if these changes are coded nicely. For example, (regarding the dynamic shadow drawing that has been introduced in Lollipop), removing an elements elevation could even increase performance sightly, while adding new custom animations might do the opposite.

I personally like to keep the Material framework themes quite stock, so I don't break any unthemed apps. Using DeviceDefault theme instead to change the ui of most system apps. :)

And.. So far my theme doesn't seem to impact performance in a bad way. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Thanks. Servicely works very nice. I'm on Lollipop again :fingers-crossed:

Also I'm so eager to use your nice looking theme :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gabriel.pineda:
Exactly what services did you disable on Servicely? I would also love to free as much RAM as possible for better user experience :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I disabled most Play Services' services (:D) except GoogleHttpService and GcmService because I'm not using any location services on my phone and the only thing I need is push notifications.

Also I disabled Play Store's InAppBillingService because I rarely buy stuff. :)

Additional services I disabled are: ProfilesTrustProvider (don't use CM12 profile settings), FusedLocationService and LocalTransportService (don't use cloud backups to Google servers)

So practically you can disable any service related to features you don't use. If you don't face any force closes, it should be fine. Just remember you actually did disable them, as it may lead to confusing bug reports otherwise. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gabriel.pineda:
Can u post a screenshot of some of the services u disabled? I'm afraid that I may disable something that shouldn't be. If it's okay to you. If not, it's fine. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Probably doing so would take more than just one screenshots, and I'm running low on my mobile data plan. :o

downgrade to kitkat

hello,

i'd like to install neo-4.4.4-tsubasa-1.2.2, but when i do so, i can't have access to my ext_sd anymore ...

what i 've done :

- install neo_uninstall.zip

- install neo-4.4.4-tsubasa-1.2.2.zip

- wipe data/cache/dalvik

- reboot

also tried without neo-uninstall same problem

tried to flash stock sony rom via flashtool = same problem !!!

does anybody know what to do ?

I don't think so, i have format it and copy old files with my laptop, then put it in the phone and never format it with the phone ...

could the installation of cm12.1 have done it without wiping my files ?

another strange thing is that in TWRP i can access the files on the ext_sd !... (while in neo 444)

also it is a 32Gb sdcard, maybe not usable with kitkat ?...

Дякую брошечка, але менi потрiбна cyber-shot.

For those who doesn't read ukrainian:

Of course we all know about these nice apps, but look! We have LOLLIPOP CAMERA PORTED FOR 4.3 JELLY BEAN in many custom roms for SXV. Is it that difficult to just bring it working to unofficial LP from official? I suppose it's not as hard as get it ported from 5.0 to 4.3 through 4.4!

WHY is there still no cyber-shot on LP 5.1? It has already been officially released! or if it exists, why does nobody know about it? I bet 90% of you would give up on FV-5 and MX when you know there's stable cyber-shot app on your CM12.1!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
As you know, it's all a matter of supply and demand.. If there's enough demand for something, there must be a reason why it doesn't get released.

The reason for Cybershot not being ported to AOSP is that it requires certain proprietary drivers and framework elements that are deeply rooted in the ROM and thus cannot be extracted even with quite a big effort.

And even if someone managed to port the Camera, probably it would require to decompile and modify each and every framework of ROMs that should run the camera fine.

If we managed to port a Sony 5.0 ROM to our locked bootloader Xperia V's (which is hard, if not impossible too), probably the new stock Camera would work just fine. However, we're using a custom kernel, a completely different framework and lots of different drivers in CM12.1, and that's why it's more or less impossible to port. :(

I hope this explanation clarifies the matter a little. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] saved-j:
JEEZ, if everyone were as clear as your explanations, the world would have become much brighter!

Now i understand. Official Sony LP and the AOSP LP in CM12.1 has a different, if I can say, architecture... moreover, the kernel is different. Awwwwwwkaaaaay :(

*went googling for camera apps mentioned above*

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

And, one more thing.

Man, is there a way to make the headphone line out LOUDER? The volume level really sucks. I've been using Lovins, which provides Z3 audio driver, and the sound level and quality in CM12.1 is the issue for me, comparing to what it has been with Z3 audio driver :(

...wait, I forgot to say THANK YOU for nearly best 5.1 on SXV - the battery is really decent on your ROM. And all other features are working well also.
