Not really. It's up to you to write and upload patches. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
And what kind of patch would you think of, to "make use of the camera button" on a device that I don't even own? :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] codeworkx:
You're providing a whole rom for a device you don't own. So a little button should be no problem. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
Why actually isn't this rom built against the CAF sources? They are more optimized for QCOM stuff
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
BusyBox update

Does this affect us, too?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Will definitely check this out. :)

However, I have heard that CAF kernels are less stable.

Nope, won't affect us. :good:

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: Build for mint is running, expect it by tomorrow morning. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
Ok, i still have the huge battery drain of fb.

Someone got a sollution? I really want this rom running, but also want to use the phone a whole day.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gk1simone:
Thank you Neo, you're amazing!!! this build is fantastic and solved all my sdcard issues!!!

After a month of using this rom, i've never experienced random reboot but i found only two minor bugs:

i can't set vibrator intensity in audio settings, every time i try, settings crashes;

when i connect the phone to my pc as mass storage i can't access to the memory(it says "insert a disk in removable disk E") and it recognize my phone as "Linux file-stor Gadget USB Device". i think this could be a driver problem, but when i had stock rom this driver worked very well. I can access to the memory only if i connect as media device with the related restriction.

P.S. i've ext4 filesystem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] allesneu:
Very Nice ROM and works great - much better then 4.4.4 on my xperia T.

One question - where can i change the settings for cpu governor ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bart93:
Bad White Neo, i want change my phone but you continuos this incredible works!

Thanks a lot :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Speedcuber92:
How to enable cpu governors in this rom?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
Use the Media Transfer Protocol instead.

ext4 is a Linux-storage-filesystem which os NOT supported by Windows (yes, they darn can't (or dont want to...) write an implementation for their OS).

MTP works really well.

Or use Linux, solve many issues [emoji14]

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Download an app to do this. WhiteNeo just patched the kernel to add governors. Changing these is not (yet?) in CM. But there are many apps out there that allow you to set governor, frequencies and much more.

Just found this site, very helpful to read changelogs:

http://www.cmxlog.com/12/mint/#
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
True.. I wonder why this didn't cause issues with our default sdcard uid of 2800.. ^^

But you're right. :)

I only mentioned the Terminal commands to prevent hundreds of people from being unable to use their internal storage in case I screwed something up in the updater script or something. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pod Kalambur:
Undervolting.

Has anyone got any tips for undervolting this device? Mine has always run very hot and the battery drain has been substantial when doing anything resource-heavy, so undervolting has to have the potential to improve this.

If anyone has any suggested settings, or experience to share for this device, that would be very useful.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] po-stit:
Hello guys, I've been using this rom for the last couple of weeks. So far it seems pretty good except the ocasional slowdown the phone runs really smooth. But there is something that bugs me. I installed link2sd and after the phone turns off all the apps suffer some kind of reset. For instance i need to log in again in dropbox and in facebook. There is any problem with the rom or with Link2SD?

Btw, how do i update?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
On the last pages of my CM12 thread for XV, someone reposted my current voltage values :)

Sounds like an issue with Link2SD.. But it might as well be fixed with the new build because of the sdcard0 permission changes.

Check post 3 in OP for a guide on how to update :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] quintas84:
I undetvolt mine 100 MVS all frequencies but you should initiate with 50mv and go up slowlly and find your phone limits not every phone its the same..... PS 100 its not my phone limit but i think its a good number and phone runs well
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
Is it necesarry to use the other file system?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] quintas84:
Nop but i convert and see a difference in performance the phone its faster, i convert partitions and after fresh install ROM again.... [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] this ROM its amazing thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] po-stit:
Thank you very much. But i updated and im stuck in a bootloop. What should i do?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
You can dirty flash the previous version.. Then do a Titanium Backup of your apps and settings and clean install the new version.

Then restore your apps. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Am I doing something wrong?

I did everything as described. The system,the cache and the data all changed to f2fs. I confirmed That. But I don't see any difference whatsoever. Am I something missing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Venan24:
I am coming from 4.4 and this CM12 ROM is awesome. My Xperia T now use only 23% of RAM instead of 45% that was using before (without any apps running). This build is very stable. I'm using/testing it for 5 days and I am very satisfied. I found 2 small bugs: Flash doesn't work with camera (but flashlight is working XD) and in Notification Drawer, System Profiles icon sometimes disappear and you must change profiles manually in settings. Despite this 2 small bugs, this is the best 5.0.x version for Xperia T. Great Work !!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
I've read about that but it was abouet updateing's ROM or CM in general that when you move 2 apps to SD the second one will fail
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
How to use these features?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Install an app like System Tuner, Kernel Tweaker etc. :good:

at the moment i haven't this problem :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
Greetings and many thanks for this awesome port!

I currently use Ultimate PureXT 4.5 highly customised (many apps removed, system apps greenified, tinted status bar on every app, thanks to xposed etc)

I would love to try Lollipop.. But I have a question: if it's not very stable and I want to revert back - can I restore in CMW the back-up I just made of my JellyBean?

Or do I have to reflash a new JB firmware, root, install CWM, restore...?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
To revert, you'd just have to flash a custom kernel that includes CWM and restore your backup that way. :)

But CM12 is far more stable than you'd expect an Alpha to be. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
Great! Thank you very much, I hope I'll manage to flash it as soon as possible.

Have a great day!! :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
After two days of testing, I can say that the ROM is really stable to be an alpha release.

I've noticed only a couple of flickering blue screen, that didn't freeze the phone (they disappeared after a couple of seconds) and a more-than-usual battery drain.

Above these two things, everything works fine. I always think that mic is not working correctly, but this issue comes from CM 10.2 and I dunno if it can be fixed in any way.

Do you think that any audio kernel tweaks (such as the one faux123 does) can be implemented?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Sure they could be implemented, but as ViPER4Android works with Lollipop, I'm not quite sure if adding those features would really make a difference. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
I asked it because I think that CM roms have always quiter volumes compared to stock ROM.

Has Xperia V issues with mic gain, too?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Nope.. CM12 on Xperia V works pretty nicely.

But if volume is a problem, I really suggest trying out V4A. Just make sure to disable NuPlayer in developer settings first. :good:

BTW, right now I'm uploading the first regular weekly build for your device :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Alright people. The first weekly is online. :)

As I've been using my work for XV as a base, there were nearly no device related bugs to fix. See the changelog for details. :good:

Link is in first post. :)

Enjoy!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] juniorbryant:
for the update only wipe cache (without factory reset) and flash the new rom, right?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
I even get less blue flickering than when using the CM11 Nightlies.

But all-in-all: Wow very stable. Will try out he new build soon!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Wipe cache, Dalvik, and then flash update along with GApps and SuperSU if you didn't enable the backup script for the latter.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
Exactly, but mostly you do it the other way around. So after you flashes the new ROM you select the wipe cache button (TWRP even prompts you to do so...). That's it.

I - in my tiredness - accidentally did a factory reset... . And as I have many FDroid Apps installed which do not sync, it's now again:

for 1=1 do:

Open app, realise it's not there, open FDroid, install it, configure

Happy flashing. No bugs so far.

Neat CM improvements I've found so far: the music player's play-button animation is tweaked ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
It is not a volume problem. I believe is more a sort of "gain" problem.

If the input gain (in this case "input gain" is the "amount of volume" that the mic captures) is too high, the sound of the recording is overdriven or distorted. It happens for example when I talk too close to the mic. With stock ROM this doesn't happen.

Tomorrow I'll post you a couple of clips to make you understand better what I mean.

EDIT: Installing the last release, I've noticed that the new TWRP always turns my phone into a Xperia V, so I had to flash via Flashtool PhilZ recovery and then install the latest update. Is it only me to have this issue?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
You da Man!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bart93:
hey , thank you for the wonderful gift you made for mint's user. I try to flash this rom but i can't enter in recovery mode. Actually i have carbonRom 4.4, unlock bootloader and root permissions too but when i reboot the phone in recovery mode with menu option or with vol - and start button, the led turn orange and the phone don' do nothing. Anybody know what i'm doing wrong or what's happens?

thanks for the answer and sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galloglass:

NOP bit you can check if file system its f2fs in terminal type su and after mount

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

And if you dont like f2fs you can allways return to ext4
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
I just checked the settings I had changed while doing the procedure (Disable MTP in "Mount" menu and---Navigate to TWRP Settings and check "Use rm -rf instead of formatting") and they where back to the state before changing them. MTP was enabled and in the second setting (twrp setting) the box was unchecked. I changed them back. Where they supposed to switch back by themselves? Did I do the right thing to change them again?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] Is it possible for you to make future development on the kernel on git? It is much more easy to track down changes, merge CM-kernel updates and such.

We would have the best from both: CM-kernel-updates and your improvements without too many problems ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I know I should, but somehow I never find the time to learn how to properly use git with all its features. :D

If you tell me how to convert a zip with my sources to a new branch for my NeoKernel repo and how to rename my current master branch, I'll do so. :)

Can't promise a clean commit history in future, tho. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
It's pretty straight-forward.

Just as a preface: "master" is just a name. There doesn't need to be a "master"-branch ;)

Try that if the sourcecode-dir is NOT yet initialised with git, ie. you haven't used git on it:

Go into the dir with the source-code, then tell git that this will become a repo:

git init

Now, you need to specify what should be uploaded (ie.: everything):

git add .

Now you wanna "commit" the changes, like write them down (you are not uploading to GitHub at this point yet. Basically, you are just maintaining a "local" git repo, where GitHub is just a "remote" server to publish your work, or work with collaborators:

git commit -m "COMMIT MESSAGE (eg. init)"

Now we tell git where to sync to:

git remote add origin URL_HERE

This means: add a remote called "origin" (convention again, doesn't need to be called origin), to your set of remotes.

the URL of your repo is:

https://github.com/WhiteNeo-/NeoKernel

Now verifiy that remote:

git remote .v

NOW, we wanna sync all the stuff (takes long, as we are practically uploading to GitHub, because you didn't do the stuff via git before:

git push origin BRANCH_NAME_HERE

I use cm-12.0 for cm12 branches, so this might be a good one. "master" is already used.

(source: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/)

If u have once before used the directory with git, ie. you pushed your repo from it, you don't need to go to the hassle of before, and can enjoy using git via limiting what to upload:

pretending we are in source-dir already (take explanations from above):

Switch to a new *local* branch. We will set it up to "track" your to-be remote branch later.

git checkout -b BRANCH_NAME_HERE

git add .

git commit -m "COMMIT_MSG"

I recommend using the same branch name for local and remote.

git push --set-upstream origin BRANCH_NAME_HERE

this will take some time again, but much less, as many files are probably not changed.

If you have questions, feel free to ask ;)

good literature:

Think like a git

Git book

@WhiteNeo

Do you know the time you cloned/downloaded the source? It would be cool to know it as one than could easily merge CM-patches ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] quintas84:
But now you are in f2fs or not?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Yes I am. But why did the settings game back ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
ok tnx for the feedback [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] ,

another question: if i am on your cm12 and i want to go back to for example purext, i flash your zip, must i reboot then to recovery or just flash another rom directly afterwards ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
[MENTION=6274551]LeonardK[/MENTION]

Thanks a lot for your help. I will definitely check this out when I have some spare time :)

By the way, my kernel source is not the official cm12 one - I've used updateing's kernel-msm repo as a base for my work. And that one is up to date. ;)

Might merge my changes to cm12 kernel later on, but for now I'm quite happy the way it is. :D

Because the TWRP settings are stored on internal storage, which you wiped. Thus, they were reverted to default. :)

Doesn't matter, really :)

You can directly proceed with flashing the new rom.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Thanks a lot for explaining. By the way... Is there anything you can do with the battery app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
If you're talking about the battery stats, I'm not sure. Currently don't have an idea about where the root of this issue might be.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] so you merged the latest changes of updateing's kernel repo? this is good news as one can put these into one commit and rebase it on practically every mint kernel source :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
Uuhhhhh

Can someone tell me why my pictures and video's are not showing here in the gallery?

Internet browser

Whiteneo, can you suggest a browser that would work best with this ROM? How about Dolphin? Thanks!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:

Just kidding.. FauxSound support is already included in the latest version of this rom. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TechnoLover:
So, I get sometimes some random soft reboots while playing castle clash. It gets a little laggy first and then I see the cm bootscreen.

Is there anything I can provide after the phone rebooted to investigate the problem?

All in all, your rom makes me stay with my XT - great work!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Well. I need a logcat.. One that starts before the issue occurs. :)

You might install a logcat app and enable permanent recording, then try to reproduce the reboot.

As the kernel didn't crash it might well be a general CM12 or Android L bug. We'll see..

Thanks for your nice feedback, by the way. It's quite impressive how many people keep their "old" phones, just because of a decent firmware. :)

I wonder why manufacturers don't ship their devices with compiler optimizations and other stuff.. Actually it just requires a few hours of work , and the result is definitely worth it.

Hi, first of all thanks a lot for awesome ROM :) very nice experience so far, but i have one problem. Since i was using Omega rom by Darklord I haven't bother with resizing my internal storage. Now 1.97gb for apps and system is quite small so i tried to resize it and followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712253&highlight=twrp this thread, found that some guy with Omnirom 4.4.4 and TWRP made it work so decided to give it a go but after using "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0" it told me command not found :/ can somebody suggest something?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]

Cool, just seen that you set up a proper GitHub repo ;). Though it's not in a different branch of the original one, I think it's quite nice to see :D.

Maybe I look into diff'ing updateing's sources against the CM's one so we -as I said- could have the best of both.

Basically to cook your ROM one just needs to use your kernel without any additional changes in the same directory and change O3-Flags for "normal" ROM + custom toolchain + Dex-preopt. Theoretically updater-script and cust. recovery and some small patches could be added but they are not core. Cool :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
OK, tested the ROM for two days.

Battery:

One day with fb sync off (16 hours).

One day with fb sync on (9 hours).

With blue tooth music streaming to my car radio there is no bass in it and the equalizer does not work.

No freezes, no lagging, the volume of the speakers is great..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I intentionally created a new repo, as I wanted to keep the previous commits and give people a chance to see what I based my work on. ;)

I have already compared the sources with Beyond Compare.. updateing is using CAF sources (so I've been using CAF for this rom as well.. :D)

There are too many differences..

However, it should be possible to cherry-pick my "Neo Transformation" commit to CM12 kernel source.. The resulting kernel would work properly on official CM. :)

Well.. Yeah. ^^

However, doing work for the first time is always more difficult than afterwards. :)

So, overall impression is positive? :D

Facebook is a battery killer and I can't do much about that. :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]

Ah, okay. Cool to hear that about CAF :)

Cherry-picking should work, though it might be a bit of a hassle to merge so many lines of code^^ (though theoretically possible of course).

It is somehow possible to "split up" commits so this could be sth. to do for me if I have too much time ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
It's only so many lines because of the removed defconfigs..

Should be around 40 changed files, and much less conflicts. :)
