How can I install xposed on this rom? :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
as on every ROM. But iirc it's not out for Android 5.1 yet.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] moliverac8:
I can't make a backup in TWRP it is showing this always.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nopai:
Thanks Neo, it's fixed now. You tha man! =)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rubenos:
Guys, what is the right way to update my system without losing my data?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
:p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rubenos:
Ha, sorry, I thought that was meant for people coming from CM12 :). Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
Anyone else getting this?:

My phone died of battery being empty but after turning it on again on charger the screen is just black.

However it's not a broken output as I can hold the powerbutton to access the power-menu, just the "background" (locker/launcher + statusbar etc) is black / not drawn.

Everything else works: adb shell, TWRP, bootanimation etc. Wiping cache + dalvik only makes the "Android is optimizing app X of Y" dialog to be displayed for a while.

It seems that the systemUI is broken somehow.

There are a hell of errors in the logs – no clue why at all.

Logs:

dmesg

logcat

UPDATE:

Somehow there's a timeout executing SystemUI, then an ANR, SystemUI gets killed. Then all this again.

As i had some BT problems i reverted all the way back over 4.4.4 whiteneo's Z3 build. that one had the bt behavior that i consider normal. So now i would like to see if this build still shows the same problems with BT i had. So i downloaded the 06-03 image, unzipped it, then did a 'flashboot flash boot boot.img' (*)

Then i boot in recovery and try to flash the zip file, but that fails... with the known Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/cm12.1/cm-12.1-20150603-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip'.

Anything i'm missing?

(*) output of that command looks ok to me:

To answer myself it seems like reverting to FOTAKernel is fairly crucial in this. It seems counterintuitive and i don't fully understand why and what's even worse is that there only seems to be a very weird way to do it : flashboot the original SONY rom on my machine... RLY? :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
To follow up on this.

I first flashed a CM12 nightly, this didn't fix my problem

then Neo's ROM based on 4.4.4 Omnirom. This did fix my problem

then i want to make sure it still worked in cm12.1 (NEO) so i had to flashtool the FOTAKERNEL

and now i'm back on CM12.1 of Neo and my bluetooth issues are gone...

Must say that i fail to understand why this sequence of flashing new roms on my phone fixed the issue for me as i tried factory resetting multiple times and that didn't help a single bit. If anyone can explain this ... be my guest !

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]

at xperia L we got GPU overclockto 500mhz ....thats improving game performance a lot.... would it be possible to implement it in your kernel also?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Already did so in a test version some months ago, and as there's no way to set a default gpu frequency In kernel source, the highest one is being used at all the time. This will affect both stability and battery life for ROM users that don't want to mess around with kernel tweaking and performance tuning..

I think providing a ROM most suitable for the average user is more important than squeezing out the last bit of performance out of a phone. :D

By the way, didn't notice a huge difference in AnTuTu with overclocked GPU. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
ok nice to hear :) Varun.Chitre15 is the developer that made this change...with TZControll app (made by him for his kernel) you can controll gpu and cpu overclock .... maybe you have a talk to him :) but if you say not a great different...then ok :) just an idea ^^ btw i love this rom^^

Edit: i dont know why....but when i hold powerbutton my phone dont show power menu ....it just locks the screen :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ziggyke:
You don't really have to flash the whole original Sony rom just the FOTAKernel part. I can explain you why reverting to default FOTAKernel is very important for flashing WhiteNeo's ROM. For Sony devices the standard way is a boot.img with build in recovery, but twrp and FreeXperia have come with a (better) solution (script) that uses the FOTAKernel partition as recovery partition. So that it would be possible to flash different ROM's without losing your favorite recovery. The script is build in the boot.img and chooses primarily to use the FOTAKernel when going in recovery, if there isn't anything to be found there it rolls back to the build in recovery from boot.img. For more information check: http://teamw.in/devices/sonyxperiat.html and then under "note about sony devices".

Why this solved your BT issues i don't know in theory this shouldn't matter if FOTAKernel is used as a recovery partition or as a default partition, but I can be wrong.

Xposed Problem !!!

Hello I have installed this ROM in my Xperia T and everything is working fine until I tried to install Xposed Framework and the phone stuck at boot animation after that I flashed the CM12 of this ROM and Installed Xposed and it worked but every time I try to install it on CM12.1 it stuck at boot animation

if anyone mange to install it on CM12.1 I'll appreciate the help
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galloglass:
I´ve tried at least five times with no success. Always get a boot loop.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ziggyke:
This isn't xposed thread, please ask the xposed maker for more information.

For what I know about xposed is that it is still in beta phase and can have its quirks...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
The ROM is great, only problem I see is a low mic volume. Everybody tells me I should speak loud ;) On stock rom no problem in this part of software. Any config settings for this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
play a bit with buildprop....find your prefered mic setting :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jungaxxx:
How can I improve gaming performance on your rom? I really like your rom but i can't play modern combat 5.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
You could try experimenting with this app to lower your phone's resolution to around 75%.. Make sure to adjust the DPI to 75% of its original value as well. :)

The optical difference will be quite minor, while games suddeny start running smoothly. :good:

Also make sure to overclock your phone to 1620MHz and force-stop unneeded apps before starting to play. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
Do you have any variable to change or add? I mean something really tried on xperia devices or should I experiment?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire

persist.audio.handset.mic=analog

persist.audio.lowlatency.rec=false

maybe set the first variable to false can help....

maybe set the second to digital can help...

maybe set the third to true can help...

dont do all changes at same time.... do ONE change....se if its an improvment or bad change .... then set to default and try another....

always reboot after changing .... make a backup before!!!

This ROM build is awesome,i practically got a new phone :D i just have a problem with MMS messages i can't download them,i have to turn off and on my phone to get them and its kinda annoying...does anyone else have a problem with this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
thats a problem with cm12.1 i guess.... on xperia L the workaround is

-go to mms app

-up right corner press ... (3 dots)

-settings

- connect to mobile data automatically (set on)

i dont know if this works on xperia T ...give it a try
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Kremsnita:
tried it doesn't work, thanks thou ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ziggyke:
Who uses the old technology MMS now a days... :silly:

Use whatsapp, hangouts or whatever online messaging app... :D

But why MMS doesn't work for you I don't know. I don't use it, because my operator charging a lot for 1 MMS which I could send for free with online messaging app. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Kremsnita:
Hehehe

i do use all of those above...in my country MMS is for free so why not use it if it's free :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] open-mind:

New release and bug fix ???

:)

thanks a lot :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LukaNyan:
The bugs in the description are still presents? It's because of them that I still didn't upgraded to the 12.1 :v
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meikelrix:
I don't get your question: in the forum basics it is mentioned, that one shouldn't ask for ETA.

Can't you show at least some respect?

Keep in mind, Neo is doing that in his free time. Are you contributing anything in your free time for this ROM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
The delayed pin screen should be fixed in the next build. And I can't do much about the battery issue. It's not too serious tho, as you can quite easily avoid rebooting while the battery is below the "critical" level. :)

I've been using this ROM as a daily driver for nearly 6 months now, and never encountered a bigger issue that wasn't fixed by now. So.. There's no reason not to upgrade :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fenix888:
First thanks! You think in future the possibility of you will update this rom to android M?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I will certainly be trying. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LukaNyan:
I have issues with Titanium backup for some reasons, every app I try to restore dosen't come with my previous saved data .. weird.

Does anyone else have this problem? It's useless Titanium Backup if this dosen't work properly lol

EDIT: Nevermind now it works :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
Hey guys, love the rom, just installed yesterday on my T, everything runs smoothly, however I keep having shutdown issues. It seems that whenever mobile data is enabled (and sometimes even with it off) the phone shuts itself down. It doesn't even reboot automatically - I have to do it manually, whenever I notice that it's off.

Thanks for the help in advance! :)

Hello ,

After installing some mods in this Rom(CM12.1) i decided to make a clean install to get rid of them , after flashing the boot.img wiping cache/dalvik/data/system & even internal memory i went to flash the .Zip as usual but this time when the installation starts it stays stuck on "No MD5 ...." for 3 seconds then it gets me back to TWRP , i installed a stock rom and retried but the same result right now i'm using your other rom http://xdaforums.com/xperia-t-v/t-development/rom-neowave-t2877997 since the only thing that doesn't seem to work is the CM12 & CM12.1 zips ( i tried the final version of CM12 & the CM12.1 before the last one (of today ) i will retry with today's version and make an edit which i thank you for it btw :)

Do you have any idead on how to get rid of that because i'd really like to go back to cm12.1 ; Thank You !

EDIT: today's cm12.1 also reloads twrp without flashing
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Maybe you have enabled a setting in TWRP that forces MD5 checking? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Imhuurd:
the visualisation works perfectly for me :P

its working perfect for me :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tschirno:

Is there any way to stop the volume keys from waking up the device?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Chefov01:
You should go to Settings -> Buttons -> Then you will see "Wake up device", disable that option and you are good to go. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gran PC:
I only see 'End call' in there (makes power button hang up) :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
I must say... I'm impressed. Been using this ROM for almost a week - and it's perfect. Stable, fast, beautiful.

I never was a AOSP fan, since the design was somehow too fade, very different from Sony's UI. So always I wanted to have an Xperia feel on any CM port. But not this time. I trully recomment this port to anyone in doubt: it's amazing, making T feel like a quad-core device!

So many thanks to Google, CyanogenMod and, most of all, to [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]!

Anyway, I want to share some thoughts about making the ROM even faster, with far better battery life. Here are some apps that anyone should use:

1. Greenify (full version, for

hibernating system apps)

2. Seeder

3. Root App Delete

4. App Ops

5. Android Tweaker 2

I also managed to rise the volume level, both for incoming calls and loudspeaker, using this method.

Other tips

:

- to avoid blue flashing screen: Disable HW overlays in Developer options.

- reduce all animations to .5x

- install Xperia Keyboard (I personally think it's the best; with working swipe gestures, of course)

- uninstall, disable or hibernate all the apps not needed or not used often (even system apps) (be careful!)

- install Toggle Network Type to have a small widget that automatically switches between your network modes.

And again - many thanks again for this perfect port! :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Chefov01:
Are you using the update from 28th December? If not, you should update. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gran PC:
Oh yeah, you're totally right, I'm running the first version! Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Seeder? Do you really feel a difference even on ART?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
I wanted to mention this: maybe it's just placebo, but when I disable the service - some system apps (e.g. Settings) tend to respond a bit slower. I will try a few days without Seeder, though. :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ed_Newgate:
In the next release will you chance the recovery to the latest version? And also will you add the material design?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I'll try to do so. :)

If you're talking about the material design twrp theme.. I'm not sure if twrp themes can be added to recovery in boot.img..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LeonardK:
Do you have the latest ROM? Just beneath the "End call"-option you xan say whether to wake up the device or not

EDIT:

damn too late
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Is that so? Maybe I should try then. Seeder has not been updated since 2013 so I was skeptical.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] open-mind:
hi

Does "Settings->About phone -> CyanogenMod Updates" work?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Silversprint:
No i made sure of that, the problem is only with cm12 roms (other roms are flashable even without md5)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galloglass:
Couldn't flash in recovery, but sideloading it in recovery worked.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Silversprint:
I'll try sideloading it & reply thanks

SOLVED: For anyone who encounters this problem sideloading didn't work so i did the following :

- Flash FTF as the link that Neo provides in his instructions in 1st page

- Flash boot.img

- Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik/System

- In the Wipe section : Advanced Wipe & reFormat all the partitions above to Ext4

- Flash Rom/gapps/su

That's all , i hope it'll be of help !

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
Just tried downgrading back to CM12 (WhiteNeo's homebuild) and i get exactly the same problem. The moment i have traffic over the modem the thing crashes completely. This while I'm 100% sure my phone did not crash before the downgrade path it took to install the FOTAkernel. So now i'm wondering if that could be the cause of the problems?

I flashed a complete ftf on my machine and i still have the same problems :( afraid my xperia T is dead ...

and there are no proper phones right now to replace it.. :'(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] odiseox2:

Can't flash: Warning: no file_contexts

Hi there, I repartitioned my devices as explained in this thread.

I have TWRP 2.8.5.0 and I was able to install CM 12. I then wiped everything, including data (factory reset) and tried to flash cM 12.1 downloaded from the links provided in this 1st thread post. When I try to flash I get this error:

I googled around and some people suggest to update TWRP. Now we have TWRP 2.8.7.0 but for "mint" (Sony Xperia T) I can find only TWRP 2.8.5.0.

I asked the maintainer of TWRP for mint if there is a newer version available (since it was announced, for mint - but can't be found).

Sorry for cross posting here, but in case the problem is not TWRP can somebody help to solve it?

Thank you and cheers
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Revert to sotck FOTAKernel partition and flash my cm12.1 boot.img. The included TWRP should work fine. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] firepol:
I need a bigger partition for my apps (that's why I repartitioned and assigned more space to Userdata and just 2 GB to SDCard)... any chance your boot.img is enough? Anything against it? I don't have any data to lose on this device, I can experiment, but I don't want to brick it of course... ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
FOTAKernel recoveries will override any custom recoveries stored in boot.img.

My boot.img includes the latest TWRP. :)

Reverting to default FOTAKernel won't reset your custom partition table, as long as you unselect all unnecessary wipes in Flashtool. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] firepol:
How to revert to fotakernel?

Ok, so I tried to flash your boot.img. In fastboot recovery:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After that I still had TWRP 2.8.5.0 (which version is your TWRP?) Now I'm a bit puzzled because I flashed boot.img also from CM 12...

if I flash your boot.img on the top of it, as result I still have TWRP 2.8.5.0 so either they are the same version, or something doesn't work as expected...

Probably as you wrote me I guess I should revert to FOTAKernel in the first place... OK I'll do that... but how?

I searched and found this: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/recovery-philz-touch-fotakernel-images-t2826333

I also checked the 2 links mentioned in the post... but they point to some recoveries which install TWRP over the fotakernel...

so it's not really clear to me how to revert to fotakernel first. If you can just post a link that would be nice.

THX mate
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
As far as I know the easiest way to revert to stock FOTAKernel is Flashtool. :)

Never reverted myself tho, so we might need the advise of someone else here to make sure your partition setup is not reverted, too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
easy

way 1 (fastes ....will do it but not optimum)

-take the boot.img from this rom

-place it to sdcard0

-terminal:

su

dd if=/storage/sdcard0/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

(the trick here....you dont revert fota to stock but the kernel will also not load it because its unloadable....it will be skiped and the kernel inside recovery is loaded)

way 2

with flashtool flash stockrom BUT check every "exclude" except FOTAKernel .... no wipes no verification

The best & fastes way is way 1 WITH FOTAKernel.img of stockrom... but i guess no one extracted it x)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ziggyke:
I've a flashable zip or img file in the zip of the FOTAkernel, because I had the same problem.

The FOTAKernel is from this original ROM of Sony: LT30_9.2.A.1.205_Generic BE 1270-6411_R4J.ftf

Hello WhiteNeo and company. I'm wondering if there is any way of recording a call natively in this ROM or at least if it could be added in a future release.

Thank you for this fantastic rom.

Call recording is supported and natively included in CM12.1, however it's disabled in several countries due to national laws. :)
