I am sure you know more than me in that area, but.... I have to respectfully disagree with you.

Besides the stability, 12.1 is a lot smoother! I can feel the difference in every app. And now battery stats are correct and memory managment seems better. In 12 i had always (according to settings) 300mb RAM free. But the backround apps where constantly killed. Now i always have about 200mb free (witch seems more realistic).

And i say these things only because of my observations.

OR could it be the clean install of both ROM and apps that is making this difference?

What is your opinion?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Not sure. User app data won't affect battery stats for example, so that will indeed be a argument for 12.1..

I guess with the sensor fix and a clean install, CM12.1 might be slightly better..

I was just quite frustrated that day because everything seemed to go wrong.. 10 hours of more or less useless effort on a broken ROM, no idea to fix the present bugs and the bootloop because of which I lost all my app data.. And just a few hours later even my sdcard contents (but that was no ROM issue :D)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] arijan001:
Coming from Stock to cm12.1,the only problem was sensors but now solved, everything seems to be fine.Thanks Neo :D

how to get out of a random bootloop?

I already wiped cache and dalvik cache.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I had to completely re-setup my phone, but fully restoring a nandroid backup also solves this issue afaik.

Hopefully you still have a Titanium Backup - I didn't, and lost all my data. :/

Would you mind telling me if you were running CM12.1 with a clean install?

Also, what file system are you using? F2FS or EXT4?

And, third question... What did you do before the bootloop appeared?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Speedcuber92:
I did a clean install.

I use f2fs.

Phone was conected to my laptop via usb, and was just sitting there...Before this it would just reboot randomly while charging, but it wouldn't get into a bootloop...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
On my former phone (Huawei u8833/Y300) it sometimes helped to remove the battery for a few seconds
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Speedcuber92:

may it helps if i tell you on my xperia L (taoshan) the same issue seems to be... random bootloops or BSOD while connected to pc ...may a cm issue
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], I can confirm that my phone with cm12.1 and system f2fs is also randomly rebooting while charging. You think it could be the f2fs?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sebasanchez:
I've used cm12.1 , and it's very good :). I've had a lot of lag before, but reading neo's advice (about ram), I droped facebook-meseenger apps changing it for tinfoil. :good:

12.1 bugs is not annoying for me. I don't use sensor, and keyboard bug isn't paintfull ahah :silly:

great work neo!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Possibly, but if F2FS was the reason, why wouldn't I encounter the same issue when using CM12?

I might update the F2FS source to latest once more in next build, maybe was an issue with upstream. Or CM12.1 sources.. Remember, those are still in alpha stage, with no official nightlies being released.

I hope things will get better as soon as 12.1 code is more stable.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] superricky89:
I've done a clean install of 12.1 over your last cm12 with F2FS, without connecting the PC and I haven't had a problem!

With the "sensors patch" now everything works like a charm and I have also a pretty good battery life! :)

No reboots (I use "safe charge" because I must wake up in the morning :P ), no memory leaks, smoother and no relevant lags... Really really happy!

Probably I'm just lucky but I really really prefer this build then cm12!

Thank you so much WhiteNeo for your hard work and for constantly improving this incredible rom!! :highfive: :victory: :svetius:

Good news for us all, and for your precious work

Seems that they have preferred concentrating on retrocompatibility and stability, so i was glad to have refrained my 12.1 fever and waited :D

hoping for a future great 12.1 build from you, more close to the CM 12 perfection :good:

clean cm12 install causes neither random reboots or bootloops

so i've been suffering from several nuances on neowave OMNIROM, and jumped onto CM12 (4/30/2015 final build).

Found it amusing. Been using it several days and found a huge battery drain by core. BTW WHERE IS THE FREAKIN PROCESSOR SETTINGS STAB ???

Saved all my backups twice, formatted data, cache, secure, etc.

Installed CM12.1, gapps, superuser.

At this moment, i'm still using ext4 (no one will make me convert to f2fs - too many bad reports).

no bootloops.

no random reboots.

did sensor fix.

all goes well. all my apps work well.

at this time i'm trying to restore all of my 800 contacts and other PIM...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
That's strange^^

There is none (yet?).

Just use an other CPU Settings app. Mentioned often already.

Wait? Bad reports. Yet, we only think that this *might* be the issue. And only a few face it. Anyways...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Would you recommend to switch back to ext4?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
If you face issues, well, you can try. But I wouldn't trade in the smootheness for a maybe-stability.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Thanks! I agree. One more thing if I may. I just installed roehsoft RAM expander, because multitasking is not the strongest point of our device. Do you thing that it will work OK with this ROM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
I'm sorry but I do not have much experience with that.

Just guessing from the name:

It "extends" RAM (wow^^)

Ofcourse this is only useful when the problem for you lies in the lack of RAM and not in the CPU too slow to switch modes.

If the latter is the case it obviously might do a good job but not work for you.

If the former is the case it depends on how this tries to "extend" the RAM. My guess is some kind of swap.

This should be possible but it might not help either and even overuse your mmc.

That is: Swap is using "standard" storage for RAM. This can be the internal one or even the external SD. But due to the massive amount of read/write acces to the RAM (and thus to the swap) this may shorten the lifeexpectancy of the chosen storage device. Your SDCard may die (which is not *that* bad if you have some money and a backup :D ) or the internal storage emmc which is far worse.

So why still use the internal one instead of the SD: Those cards are slow and there *might* be a huge latency to the sd compared to internal.

Now chose what you do :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] saved-j:
no visible problems on ext4 (xcept 4 slower (is it really objectively visible??) speed which isn't a bug or feature), and POSSIBLE BOOTLOOPS and SUDDEN RESETS on f2fs.

if you experience NO problems => keep on f2fs.

i'm full of the experiments as of these few days. merging my hunreds of contacts isn't a very interesting thing to do...

somehow android didnt let me just restore my "contacts storage" and had given me android.process.acore...

Yes I had undescribably high battery drain by core, i couldn't do anything with it, so i just came to CM 12.1 (5.1)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
again: who says that the bootloops are caused by f2fs?

Write Problems

Hello everyone,installed cm12.1 with f2fs runing great for 2 days then the device starts overheating.I did a clean install then changed to ex4t flashed neo-uninstal.zip and flashed the stock ftf,everything it seems good but on the Album app i get this error "Memory Unmounted or unavailable.Mount memory to continue" the same thing is with Walkman app there are no musics but in sdcard the exist!

Any Ideas how to fix this ??

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] saved-j:
i'm not just a great reader, as well as writer, so as english is not my native.

but reading the previous 4-5 pages did make me logically connect F2FS and bootloops, and logically connect Ext4 with slowdown but NO bootloops and random reboots.

So, this day I converted all of my possible storage in F2FS, ran the system, and, what do you think? After restoring part of my apps from the Titanium, it wanted me to do a reset, and I did it. First reset went okay. I tried to behave normally, and in one hour after the next reset, I caught a "random" bootloop.

Before that, I've been using cm12 for a week, and gave it up because it's been a torture for me to charge the device three times a day (couldn't fix it on my device). But it did not have any program faults or random bugs, except for that issue with battery drain.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
I try to write it a bit "cleaner":

F2FS is not *necessarily* the reason for bootloops or random reboots.

There are poeple vaguely thinking this and people who do not experience. Naturally the former group - even if in fact less - is more common to see, as it is more common to write: "Not working" instead of "working".

I, as am example, only run F2FS and have never seen an as stable ROM as this one.

Props to [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] here.

Whilst it *might* be a reason behind it (on certain circumstances we could not find out) it is not clear at all, yet.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] boomalex:
congratulations for this rom. I installed the CyanogenMod 12. undervolt is great. the only problem is this: when I turn the phone shows the message that the app "settings" ended abnormally even if it works properly. This is annoying. is it possible to unlock the screen with double tap? can i upgrade to 12.1 from CyanogenMod 12 with f2fs?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sebasanchez:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harowa:
I am on [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] 5.1 with F2FS since 3 full days. I can confirm this fone never bevor was faster and it is also much stable. But.......

Every evening I charge my fone and before I went to bed I disconnect it from charger and turn off fone. I never had have problems than next morning while I turn it on again, since this morning.

Yesterday evening I forgot to charge the fone and as I turned off fone the battery was about 60 percent. In the morning I turned on fone but it stuck in bootanimation. After 15 minutes I did a cold reset and turned it on again, same behavior. Ok, reset fone and go in TWRP I decided to install last and only 5.1 again, also supersu. After finished I adviced TWRP to restart in system. For the next half hour I looked at the bootanimation loop again.

Now the fone is powered off again and is connected to the charger again. I will try to boot again after charging is complete.

Edit: Fone still stuck in bootanimation loop :(

Edit2: Flashed cm-12-FINAL-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip (first I advanced wiped with clearing system, cache and dalvik) but fone is also stuck in bootanimation.

Edit3: I wanted to reverting to EXT4 but fs remains F2FS until I unchecked "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" before wiping / formating system, cache and data.

Now fone has no system, I yet flashed cm-12.1-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and at last gapps-L-4-9-15.zip.

I wanted restore DATA from last nandroid but failed because restoring data also restores the fs F2FS, I than restored an older nandroid with fs EXT4.

My fone is booting in this moment and I just see Android is starting. We'll see what happend further....

Edit4: Okay now I have same problems I had have as I first updated 5.0 to 5.1. dialer, setup and a lot more apk's crahed without ending.

Last try is, I will now restore last complete 5.0 nandroid.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Just an idea from me about: "Use rm -rf instead of formatting"

I once looked on that, and the box was unchecked, after I had flashed 12.1. Is it possible that because with updating from 12 to 12.1, the recovery gets updated too and that causes this setting to get unchecked? And MAYBE that leads to a "chain reaction" in time that brings other problems?

Maybe it is a stupid thought.... But it has to do with f2fs... [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] what do you think?

Alright, fixed and stable CM12.1 build is online!

Been rebooting my Xperia V for like 20 times in the last hours, to check for random bootloops. None appeared.

So, you should be able to safely use F2FS with this ROM now. :good:

Sensor fix is included, of course. :) Enjoy!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tolios1999:
Great. :thumbup: did a clean install on first cm12.1. Can I just install it and wipe cache and dalvik? Or do I have to clean install it again?

And one more question: the aosp keyboard is crashing every few times I change between languages with the "language" key. Is that fixed too? Do you know about that?

Again: Great work! :D

P.S. I had a few restarts while using first build, but never bootloop!

Just make sure to backup important apps before booting to recovery. We don't want the bootloop issue to happen right before you flash the new build. :D

Hi, this is a very good feedback: I have installed version 12 just yesterday and from that time on no important bugs.

I come from original Android 4.3, I have some question:

- Is there a way to be sure that my phone won't produce any sound when I am in class? :D

- If I set the display light to minimum it is still quite bright: any tips?

- Well, not a bug, just dunno: when I was playing with options, it said (2 or 3 times) "Settings app crashed blabla", I don't think I should be worried about

I tried Cyano just because I had problems with RAM: after a while (about 1 hour) that I had my phone on, its performances started being veeeery poor, so that I only had to reboot it (I really can't open any app and the homescreen just loopboot itself). With this rom it happened only one time, when I was installing everything and tried to play CoC :D

I also have another little problem: i have installed a dozen of apps, whatsapp, facebook and essentials, no games: now i can't install any other app from Play Store because it says "you don't have enough space", obviously it isn't... I googled for it without any real solution. I tried to move my apps to sd. Anyone can help me?

Thank you a lot WhiteNeo!

For the bright you can use Filter Screen, but be careful because you can turn the bright so low that you won't see it ?.

For the sound put the silence mode the hours you need and if all goes well, it won't sound.

About the memory I can't really help you,now with Lollipop and ART the apps have a bigger size,maybe you can try to resize your memory.

For reverting to default FOTAKernel you can check my next post.

After reverting to default FOTAKernel you should also first flash the included boot.img from the ROM via fastboot to the boot partition.

Then you should be able to enter recovery like it was installed in FOTAKernel.

Speaker/sound not working?

Is anyone else experiencing sound problems/external speaker not working? It stopped working for me when I updated to Neo's 5.0.2 if I remember well, there was a clicking sound every time there was supposed to be a sound playing (e.g. when playing a song the speaker would only make a clicking sound). Then eventually the speaker gave up altogether so no sound is available at all. Headphones working when plugged in. also ear speaker and microphone are working well. I ordered a replacement speaker which is a small black unit. Replaced it today hoping it was a hardware problem but no sound still. Can anyone help me I'm pretty lost as in what to do to fix this.. Thanks a lot!
