hi

best manner to install this rom from stuck :

unlocked -> boot -> shoutdown -> fastboot mod -> fastboot flash boot boot.img -> reboot -> go to recovery -> install -> select rom then select gapps then select Super SU -> flash -> boot to Neo`s Homebuild

:o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
twrp version is 2.8.5

error executing binary in installing rom in twrp.

did the rest as is instructed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
Only witheneos F2FS version of twrp is able to flash this build!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
and how do I get there? :S
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
Extract the boot.img from this romy zip

then open flashtool

Click the flash

Fastboot mode

Flash Boot.img

Then reboot to recovery ;)

Edit: btw your phone has to be in fastboot mode for this x)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
okay I figured that out. had to install the FOTAkernel again before doing this part.

Thankyou soo much man!

And Thankyou [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] for your amazing work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Glad the installation finally worked for you :)

Just a little explanation to conclude this:

If a custom recovery is present on FOTAKernel, the recovery that is included in the boot.img is overwritten. And apps like Xperia Recovery Manager usually write their recovery to FOTA. That's why it's important to revert to stock FOTA before flashing the ROM. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
since your TWRP is the only one capable of installing this rom... Why dont you erase the boot of fotarecovery? (Or skip it)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hey, that's actually quite a good idea! I gotta look for this line in my blue-common sources.. Thanks! :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
Thats the commit that starts fotarecoverys:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/30309/

Its a bit old now... But may that gives you a hind where to search^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
ok, people. Now you can count me in! I flashed again to stock rom - then did all step in the instructions. One difference: I used an older version of the flash-tool. Version 0.9.18.6 - with this one it worked to put the twrp 2.8.7.0 from the rom boot.img on the phone. I flashed gaps and super-su from the provided links as 2nd and 3rd zip - reboot. Everything works. Glad to be with you. The original CM-recovery was really not my cup of tea... And you are a step ahead with 5.1.

Have a great sunday.

1-Battery is draining fast, any recommended apps or fixes?

2- Can't figure out how to change lockscreen wallpaper.

3- There is an occasional Blue flicker upon moving to the third tab on the homescreen(the additional one) .
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
That's exactly the commit I needed, thanks!

Theoretically, removing just these lines should work..

# recovery ramdisk
[STRIKE]busybox mknod -m 600 ${BOOTREC_FOTA_NODE}
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox ln -sf /sbin/busybox /sbin/sh
extract_elf_ramdisk -i ${BOOTREC_FOTA} -o /sbin/ramdisk-recovery.cpio -t / -c
busybox rm /sbin/sh[/STRIKE]
load_image=/sbin/ramdisk-recovery.cpio

I will attach a modified boot.img to this post for testing. :good:

Just unpack the zip and flash the boot.img via fastboot. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] derecklatino:
here xperia lt30p saying GREAT work.. it run smooth and fast, it is almost.. almost a feeling like the final stable version. any other bug such as "setting has just stoped" and when i open any file browser it crasher when I open a folder with a many files in.

battery in my case drains the same as stock room.

keep working beacuse you guys are in a good way to realese a perfect room to our xperia.

ps. i can even intall some Xperia Stocks apps such as movie, album, walkman, keyboard, home v8... :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
could you guide me about installing the xperia stock apps and disabling the cyanogen music and gallery etc..

thanks :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sebasanchez:
You can disable all cyanogen app with this debloater :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
thankyou!

can you also link me to a credible zip of xperia apps?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] derecklatino:
you can download the here in many post where upload the lastest Xperia Apps and the Craked or Modified ones too...

also try blackmart (google it)

and try!

:good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
oh alright

thankyou soo much!

just one more question.

will any xperia apps from xda work or need to be specific for cm12 Xperia T.

this is what I found:

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-port-sony-xperia-feature-apps-t2978700

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-xperia-z4-framework-sony-stock-t3154772

will either of these work?

also if I want to uninstall them after installing, how to do that.

flashing is easy through recovery, dont get un-flashing yet..

sorry for asking soo many questions. Im just new at all this. :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sebasanchez:
First link should work.

The camera port, need a deodex rom, but this rom is odex... it won't work. (a few post before someone ask)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] derecklatino:
i haven't try any of those.. but thre is just ine way to know if they work.. try them! cross fingers and good luck.

did you find blackmart?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
I can confirm point 3. Same here not only on the 3rd screen. - I'd say it's black/grey flicker - but on occasion it is there and noticeable.. But I had the same with official CM12. I think it works better when you increase the size of the logo-buffer in Developer-Options. But then again, I have no real idea what this does - but it seems to me, that it is better after that.

I have not tried #2 and #1 I can not confirm....

Regards

Thumaroil
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
shall try blackmart today as got busy yest.

thanks!

tested a bit and the blue flicker gets abundant as I increase the brightness manually and especially while swiping through the home screens.

other than that,

apps become unresponsive quite frequently and there is a brief white screen when some apps are opened(not always though)

any ideas about that?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] UnholyDemoniX:
I can't find the kernel link...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:

How can i change the menu, after flashing the rom? it is a list style menu now, and i want the original CM menu!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
Tap and hold on a empty space on homescreen... Hit the 3 dots... And change app-view
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ckovvi:
I have just tried this and its working without need to flash FOTA first. I was using DooMKernel before flashing.

BTW the ROM is great great great, and work's perfectly! Many thanks and keep up the great work!

Hello my friends I try to install boot.img but it says device must be rooted.when flashtool read the phone it says root granted or allow.But in fast boot mode says divice must be rooted.any help??

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] maphios:
Hi,

I'm still on the last CM11 snapshot M12 with CWM 6.0.5.1 but I'm thinking about upgrading to CM12.1. The only things which held me back so far is what will happen to my data and apps and the possible bigger battery drain of CM12.

So I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to upgrade to Neos 12.1 rom and still keep all my data, apps and settings?

2. What is the most comfortable way of upgrading to Neos 12.1 rom from my setup?

Any help is appreciated.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
No need to wipe data when upgrading. :good:

Just flash the boot.img from here via fastboot mode: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62255845

Then reboot to TWRP and follow the installation instructions in OP. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
But wouldnt a change to f2fs wipe it automatically?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ckovvi:
It wouldn't, my data on internal storage was not deleted after flashing rom. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] aber96crombie:
Having some serious lag and unresponsive app issues. :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dantefff:
Is there any reason for not releasing a deodexed version of this rom?

May I deodex this rom to be able to use Xposed and stock camera?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ckovvi:
Yes you may be right, I didn't switch to f2fs. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Not if following the guide in OP about switching to F2FS. :)

And yes, this ROM supports both file systems just fine, and will keep the current file system when installing or updating. :good:

You can deodex the ROM by extracting every single app's odex.gz file before running a lollipop deodexer software. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ycke:
Hi Guys,

I've created for my own use a Deodexed version of the latest rom and I thought I might share it.

I Deodexed the rom to make use of XPOSED which is working in the Deodexed ROM.

All credits for this great ROM go to [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] of course!

Greetings YcKe
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gear.z:
my tx lt29 use this root.img

the screen become upside down
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
So, would you guys prefer odexed or deodexed builds from now on? :)

[MENTION=4812336]updateing[/MENTION] created a thread on how to fix the inverted screen issue. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Chefov01:
If we switch to deodexed builds, what will be the performance impact? Will it be huge? If anybody at all can provide some numbers, that will be great. Anyway, whichever is faster seems the better choice, as our phones are a bit old now. :/ Anyway, this is only my opinion and nobody should feel obliged to do anything! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
I'd be for odexed. deodexing is rather easy - so the best would be ofcourse both ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] UnholyDemoniX:
After i reboot my device, all the apps i have moved on my SD card, have been deleted from my home screen... Any solutions for this problem? Thanks! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
This has been a known issue since the first build, and should already have been discussed earlier in this thread. :)

As far as I know, the internal storage is mounted too late for the launcher to recognize that the apps you've moved to sdcard are still installed. That's why they disappear from home screen.

There is no known solution for this yet, so for now, just avoid rebooting or move those certain apps back to phone storage :)

I just had another idea btw.. Maybe an app like Icon Changer could be used as a "bridge" between the launcher and the apps. You might try this :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ckovvi:
I have noticed some small and not that matter bug, maybe it was discussed before. At every boot or reboot system I got an message about FC settings has stopped. That message is also displayed when I touch vibrator intensity in sounds settings. This is not so important to me I dont even use vibrations at all, but maybe its useful to report. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] am486:
[MENTION=5143832]Ckovvi[/MENTION]: This is a known issue since ever.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
This FC after booting is the result of a badly coded theme, usually. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] captita:
I'm still having problems with readonly sdcard0 after flash and if I revert to stock 4.3 my sdcard0 is still readonly.. What could be the problem? To solve it I can only reformat to ext4.. I haven't found any other way. :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Stock 4.3 doesn't support F2FS.

If you're having storage issues running CM12, check the third post for instructions to fix them :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jacbelfer:
Is it normal that max fps in 1920/1080 is 27 ?

In STOCK 29.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I honestly don't know why anyone would want to run this phone in Full HD. :o

The display supports only "normal" HD so there would be no visual difference, while the increased CPU and battery usage would be huge.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jacbelfer:
I don't want to watch this on my phone but on Full HD TV. STOCK can handle it and CM12.1 can give you up to 27 FPS.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] maphios:
Thanks to your help I could successfully upgrade to CM12.1 :).

The only thing I recognized is that Google Play Services is draining my battery when I have WiFi off. I already set the permissions in the privacy section so that the Services mustn't wake up my phone so often but still Google Play Services is the biggest battery user.

What I can see in the battery stats is that "Mobile Radio Active" has a quite high number of ~4 h.

I also could find a xda post where it is stated that the SystemUpdateService can cause this battery drain.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the battery drain of the Google Play Services?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Use an app called Servicely to disable all of Google Play Services' services except for GCMService. However, keep in mind that this will break network location services on your phone. Gotta use GPS instead.

I'm using my phone with this setup plus Greenify and battery life is really fine. :)

EDIT: You might even find and disable the SystemUpdateService in Servicely :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] UnholyDemoniX:
Thanks for your support mate! You are doing an awesome job! i found a way through! everytime i reboot my device, at the pin screen, i wait for a minure (or less), and then i unlock my device!! And everything is ok! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ferretx:
Would this rom work for the T3 guys ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Nope. Would certainly brick your phone. :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ferretx:
There's nothing for the T3,even Sony ditched it when they were handing out Android 5.0 :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Alright, here comes a new CM12.1 build!

I'm quite impressed by the size of this build's changelog, honestly. :D

Been updating to a new kernel branch and got JustArchi's ArchiDroid Optimizations V4.1 and SaberMod 4.9 working with this ROM. This will definitely cause a difference in smoothness!

As well, I took some time to modify the included recovery. It's now using an awesome material theme, but should still be compatible with any other theme you might have been using.

Another thing worth to mention is that recoveries on FOTAKernel will no longer overwrite the recovery in boot.img from now on, because many people encountered issues during installation of CM12.1 as a result of this feature.. and people can easier upgrade from official CM12 if they want to. ;)

And finally, after having asked YOU for your opinion about odexed or deodexed builds, the ROM is no longer pre-optimized and will fully support Xposed framework from now on! :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] panostr:
Thx for the new build.As far all good.I'd like to see the Settings FC go away on start.I hope we have less redraws.The last two builds from what i remember after a lot load or time i had redraws.How can we see the storage of the system partition?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
Anyone got xposed floating windows working? :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
Thank you for the great update! I have a little offtopic question... How did you implement TWRP-Material design directly? Did you just replaced the xml and pictures? (Im interested in doing this for XL)

Google Play Store error

Hello, I did a clean install of the latest update , so good there, but when trying to download Google Play Store , only see the message " downloading " in an infinite loop . I deleted cache , unlink my google account , but error still continued, the solution was to return to the previous update of Aug. 8 . Any solution :crying: ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Chefov01:
Nope, it doesn't work, because there are no official CM12 nightlies rolling out, plus somebody mentioned earlier in the topic, that our phone is probably dropped from support from FXP team... :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] valeri.nikolov:
[MENTION=3876365]weekender90[/MENTION], thanks for the tips. Very useful !

I flashed the low speaker volume ZIP fix and confirm that using this method works on this ROM and works beautifully.

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], maybe this should go into the ROM. Viper4Android is good for music but it seems it does not help when making phone call on speaker. So better push a the volume up on system level close to the stock ROM values.

About the memory management - it is just stunning. It is fast and always plenty of free memory. I never had the need to put anything in addition like Greenify etc.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Will do so if you tell me which of the archives you used and which is confirmed to work best. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
I use the snd from the first attachment, does its job perfectly.

N.B. I didn't flash that 'update', I simply replaced the file from /system/etc/snd_soc_msm

(the zip contains some .ogg for camera focus and com.playstation.playstationcertified.jar for /system/framework (that I find useless).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Skaldinho:
I've encountered serious problém. It might not be ROM related, but i suspect it to. Today i suddenly stopped hearing other side of Call. It works when i have it on loudspeaker or headphones, but if i want to maké normál Call - nothing. Also when playing music i hear nothing. Restart, Factory deset doesnt solve this issue.

Any ideas? Unfoetunately i cant flash and try out different ROM now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Sounds like a broken speaker.. :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Skaldinho:
yeah, till now i didnt know there are two different speakers. Oh well... good its 1 month before end of warranty :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nidzo80:
Try to plug and unplug headphones.

Sometimes I have similar problem when I unplug headphones during call.

And yes Prime, i remember there was a lot of controversy back then, as soon as it was released. This is the first time I've tried anyway.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Blazzx:
Does anyone know how can I resize /data/ partition on this rom? Because I can fill it up quite quickly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] where did you get the binary blobs from? Did you just run the extract.sh like the build guide for CM11 for Mint states?

Is it normal that repo sync sometimes fails (i need to force it with -f)?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I don't have issues with repo sync.

You need the proprietary_vendor_ sony repo by [MENTION=4812336]updateing[/MENTION] and merge all CM12 related hayabusa commits to mint or tsubasa.

Extract-files.sh only works when you're already using the rom you want to build.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NiiSyth:
I've Using this ROM for a couple days and this is my review of it of sorts.....

--Extremely smooth and fluid

--Super memory management (better than kitkat and stock in my experience)

--Love the material design

--Quite stable that it's unbelievable it's an alpha.

--Battery is not that good but it isn't unusable either, enough for an "alpha" daily driver.

--The inconveniences which I faced (maybe I'm a n00b)

---Can't find option to take a screenshot (I really miss that)

---Need an toggle for 2g/3g coz limited data plan.

---Expanding heads up notification seems to work erratically; also in notification drawer, the toggles drop by when I wanna expand the notification.

--Minor bugs as below:

---can't unpin apps and have to reboot to exit the app.(yes I've tried the back button and overview combo.)

---the headphone music volume keeps increasing and distorts after a notification which resets to the previous value if ya press either volume button.

All in all a really good Effort by White Neo and many thanks for bringing Lollipop to our aging flagship phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks for the feedback :)

Most issues you reported are general CM12 ones. In today's build (which I'm probably going to release in a few hours) some of them might already be fixed.

To make a screenshot, just press volume down and power buttons simultaneously. :)

Also, there are widgets in Play Store that allow toggling 2G/3G. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
The headphone thing is to prevent ear-dmg. You can turn it off.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
First of all thank you!

I am new to custom rom+ rooting.After 2 days i managed to do it all. Root with towelroot and custom recovery with flashgordon (i thnk). My head still hurts! Unlocking bootloader took me 1 day of reading and trying. At least after a few screwups...I DID IT! It works great! Could you please tell my what happens with updates? I mean, do i have to flash the rom again and set the device options and apps again? And what happens with cm12 updates?Sorry if my questions are silly! I just started with this. Thank you again! Great work!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Borixnl:
Wow, this rom is really amazing. Works great for daily use and has no big bugs.

Thanks for putting time in this old(er) mobile, you really gave it new life!

only feedback that i got, why do the volume buttons work when the screen is off? any way to change this?

Thanks for your great work!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
No need to re-setup your device when updating.

Just flash the new version and wipe cache/dalvik cache afterwards :)

There are no official cm12 updates for our phone, so do not try to install ota updates. :)

Check out Settings>Buttons.. If there's no option, it's not possible (yet) :)
