[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rob84521:
We can has moar storage for apps pls?

First of all thank you codeworkx for bringing CM 12 to our Sony Xperia T!

I run into an issue regarding the available space to download and install or update apps from Google play which I've never experienced before.

After flashing CM 12 (coming from CM 11) I installed the GAPPS stock package like I always do for convenience and the full Google-Android experience. After the installation and update process Google play was no longer able to download and install new apps or even update system apps due to not enough available space (It notifies me with an error message).

I took a look at the system partitions:

/system -> This is where CM is installed and please correct me if I'm wrong also the GAPPS (?)

Size: ~1,2 GB

Used: ~1,2 GB

Free: ~16,1 MB

/cache -> I can't see it's purpose because it's almost not used.

Size: ~250 MB

Used: ~8,1 MB

Free: ~241 MB

/data -> New apps and app data will be stored to this partition.

Size: ~2 GB

Used: ~1,8 GB

Free: ~173 MB -> I can't understand why 173 MB shouldn't be enough space to download and install or update an app.

/sdcard0

Size: ~11,1 GB

Used: ~334 MB

Free: ~10,7 GB

Sure I could install a smaller GAPPS package but I have no doubt that apps will increase their size in the future.

So the 2 GB /data partition (thank you Sony) will be a bigger problem.

Wouldn't it be dreamy if the /system and /data partitions were larger? Is this somehow possible or planned for our beloved Xperia T?

I could totaly live with a decreased /sdcard0!

For example:

/system -> Size: ~1,5 GB

/data -> Size: ~5 GB

/sdcard0 -> Size: ~7 GB

Kind regards

I get this problem on my TX also. I use the smallest Gapps package I can find, but once your /data partition starts getting full, and has about 200mb or less I start getting that error. It doesn't make sense to me either, but you can just follow this guide (and read several of the last posts) and you'll be fine; I now have 1.36gb free on my /data partition instead of the usual 200mb.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
it IS possible to rewrite partition table.... BUT this procedure is HIGH dangerous because it can HARD brick(no ability to revive except jtag)

so if you feel experienced enought you can try...but you may kill your phone forever ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LawLawL:
Whats is jtag? ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
Basically, a hardware port to access an integrated circuit, in order to debug and manipulate it.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] didsdead:
ok, so I flashed cm12 and gapps and after booting the screen showed up "google has stopped working", and after restoring a backup i made before flashing, it shows a sign telling that i cant use internal storage :(... ok, so should i use the fix_storage_permission.zip? if so, how do i use it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
its a flashable zip (flash it in recovery)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LawLawL:
No, it contains a .bat file.

Use it from your pc
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
ah sorry my fault(long ago) extract it on pc and connect phone to pc... then run bat
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LawLawL:
Hi everybody, I would like to make a radio fm app for this ROM. Is there a Google API for this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SdtBarbarossa:
as long as the kernel dont support radio-iris.ko module no fm radio will work....you could try to load some radio module with insmod....good luck
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LawLawL:
Is it dangerous?

I don't understand, there already is radio-iris-transport.ko in /system/lib/modules/

And when I type in adb...

Should I reload a new radio-iris-transport.ko ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rob84521:
Screen stays active

When plugged in to charge on low battery the screen stays active and does not turn off, even though the developer settings are deactivated.

I think this might be a bug because it switches to normal behaviour once I deactivate the screen manually.

Kind regards

What was your previous version of cm?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fessy3:
Hi,

can I install unsigned .zip in CM recovery? When I tried it, CM recovery wrote that installation aborted, because .zip is not verified. Can I install on official CM PhilZ recovery for example? I tried it with this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50629055&postcount=290 , but PhilZ did not install. Can you help me please? :) I tried builds from Neo, but when I updated Walkman or Photos (I do not know how it calls in English, I mean application for photos from Sony) it did not works.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Klaus N.:
You can't install XZDualRecovery via recovery. Try to install it via pc (take the XT installer.zip); it works, at least you don't reboot system (only temporarily, afaik). But keep in mind, that this is CM12, which means no Sony framework, and that's why Sony apps like Walkman or Photos app from Sony will not work here!

_______________________________

I've got another problem:

I've installed (clean install, went back to latest official Sony fw [4.3], then bl unlock, followed by root) at first flashed boot.img via fastboot, then installed latest CM12-mint, followed by flashing lp pa-micro-gapps of TKruzze. Finally I've flashed fix_storage_permissions.zip. Unfortunately the system is very slow...

(The low memory space warning went away, as I moved all possible installed apps to sdcard (sdcard0 ???).

My questions:

- Are the apps moved to sdcard, moved to sdcard0 or to ext sd?

- Is there a way to extend the system partition (like on i9100 via flashing a modded pitfile)?

- Is it possible by a workaround to save camera pics on ext sd immediately?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
I'm currently running WhiteNeo's homebuild with f2fs on internal sd card. Can I just flash this rom on top of it and do a factory reset or do i need to un-'f2fs' my sdcard? I would like to see if this rom has the same BT problems like i'm experiencing with the WhiteNeo build
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cantabro:
Please, tell me if you do it. If it goes right. I'll do the same because of BT too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
I have tried this but BT problems are exactly the same. (I did revert the f2fs before doing this, instructions are in one of the opening posts of WhiteNeo's Homebuild, and glad i did because CM12 indeed does not support f2fs. I checked this because my external sd card was still f2fs and cm12 can't read or even mount it).

Afraid i will have to revert to stock to fix the BT problems :(

For reference... BT problems are as followed:

I can't reconnect to devices i paired to before. Normally all i would do is turn on my headphones (or step in to my car) and my phone would just connect to those (as they were paired before). Now the phone is no longer doing this *AND* what is more is that going into the BT settings if i try to connect the headphones (or my car radio) it immediately tries to pair with them even though they were paired before. It's like the pairing info is flaky or gone...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cantabro:
Oh. I don't have that issue. I'm just searching for an audio quality fix. I need to plug the headphones before, playing by them and then connect BT to have good quality.

But mine is pairing right. No problem there.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
strange,

Nobody seems to have this problem but me. I have no idea why my setup would be so special... or it should be the encryption on the phone, it's like the last thing i can imagine... even though it has been encrypted for a long time and i didn't have a single problem with it.

MEH!

How does one go about removing TWRP from FOTA?

I have TWRP 2.8.5.0 installed, and cannot seem to be able to install any GApps package on the latest CM12 nightlies without FCs.

I'd like to try your method; could you please help me with the steps?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LanderXX:
Hi guys!

I installed CyanogenMod 12 on my xperiaT (cm-12-20150613-NIGHTLY-mint.zip )

Works Fine, I installed the bat file (fix_storage_permissions) succesfuly, I can write files on sdcard partion with root access.

But i cant use de Camera, says "Do you need a SDCARD to Use the camera" I can see the camera screen, and focus, but the shooter is disabled.

What can i do?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] canuck82:
Um - is it just me or is this a link to a file that appears to be downloading spyware / malware / virus ??!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
dev-host is known for not being the best hosting provider.

If you click 'Download Now' in blue, it will give you the file, or follow this link: http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00165/cIrU/fix_storage_permissions.zip
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] canuck82:
Thanks - I downloaded the file, enabled developer options on the phone, enabled Root over adb and apps and also usb debugging. Ran the bat file and presto the gallery opens and I should be able to download now as well now. That other exe file that downloaded from the top download button was rather nasty - my antivirus didn't pick it up so I had to kill the process and get malwarebytes to clean up the damage. Anyways now to get the rest of the phone setup.... :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daemin:
Hello there,

I have finally decided to breath some new life to my old Xperia T and flashed latest nightly build per instructions. It was a bit pain as I was not able to flash gapps thru TWRP recovery without having FCs on each and every gapps version out there. Getting rid of TWRP did the job in the end and now I am enjoying 5.0.2. However, there are few things I like to share with you, perhaps you could provide me with some tricks, how to resolve these rather medium issues.

First of all - speaker. Once speaker during call is on, it somehow produces annoying high pitched feedback-like sound which long last in your ears, making this future unusable.

Second thing - weird behavior of data usage applications which has occured two days after last flash. It shows big chunks of cellular data are wasted however inbuild data usage module shows no sign of a consumption at all or just a few kB/MB. Chunks are from 30 to 50 MB big, incrementing overall usage especially after mobile data is switched on/off (which I use rather often to save battery life and to prevent high bills). This phantom data usage makes all related apps useless. I still can check my providers report but they are not providing it in real time, but 24h with delay :-/

Third thing - MMS multimedia messages. I cannot send or receive although settings are perfectly fine. But it is not a big deal.

Any suggestions? And sorry if this was posted before, I have not checked all posts in this thread, to be honest :D

Apart from these my overall impression from this ROM is awesome :) I am really happy that "T" has not been forgotten and there are guys out there who keep it in the game. Many thanks, keep up the good work.

EDIT: Ok, just found out there is a new build released, I am going to flash it and will report if there is any change to these two.

Moving Feedback to Proper Thread...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ritwyk:
20150715-NIGHTLY (and most other official CM12 nightlies before): Pressing the camera hardware key does not fire up the camera app as it should. Running on stock kernel, no special stuff. Maybe the camera app doesn't support key events? Anybody else have this issue?

Also, the Xposed framework doesn't work (yet?). Flashing the ZIP puts the phone into a bootloop, which can be recovered from by flashing the uninstaller ZIP.

EDIT: Xposed works perfectly. All you need to do is flash the ZIP through the supplied CWM-based recovery, now that the Xposed ZIP is signed. Flashing through TWRP leads to a bootloop.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
What did you do? Which Recovery did you use? I had the same problem with the TWRP from the boot.img....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ritwyk:
The issue right now is that you're stuck with TWRP. If you flash through the default Cyanogen Recovery, your issues will go away. I outline two methods for getting the Cyanogen Recovery:

Method 1 (if you don't have access to ADB):

Get a stock FTF for the Xperia T and flash it through Flashtool.

Now that you are back to a factory condition device (but with an unlocked bootloader), copy the CM12 and GApps ZIPs to the root of your internal (or external) SD card.

Extract and flash boot.img from the CM12 ZIP via fastboot.

Reboot into recovery (which should now be Cyanogen Recovery).

Flash CM12 (from internal or external SD card) and GApps.

Reboot.

Method 2 (if you have root and working access to ADB):

Extract cyanogenrec.img from the attached ZIP to the root of your internal SD card.

Copy the CM12 and GApps ZIPs to the root of the internal (or external) SD card.

Fire up a command prompt window in the directory containing adb.exe, and run the following commands:

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/cyanogenrec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery

You will now reboot into Cyanogen Recovery. Flash CM12 and GApps.

Reboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
Thankyou very much. That worked like a charm. The phone is up and running on 5.0.2 CM 12 and gapps. Only one time an error message after start up: settings was stopped. But after that no problems and settings do work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ritwyk:
Does the camera hardware button launch the camera app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
No, but it can be used to shoot a picture, when the camera is running. Btw. the google-camera-app also works perfectly, as well as the CM-built-camera-app. They can be used side-by.side.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
I have tried to install Navigon. This causes the phone to reboot after the install was running some time before it was completed. I freed space (now 450MB free), wiped cache (from CM Recovery) - nothing helps. The App shows as installed after reboot, but if I start it - the phone reboots again. Tried different 5.4.x apks. Anyone tried to use Navigon with success on this CM12?

Version 4.7.1 works.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spirosbakos:
Hi.i am on 4.3 pure XT. I extract the latest build and i cant install boot.img.It says device must be rooted.Both methods adb and fastboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ritwyk:
Flashing boot.img only requires an unlocked bootloader, not root access. Please post screenshots of the error if you can.

For this specific process, you must use fastboot and not adb.

If nothing works out, you can always flash a stock FTF via Flashtool, and then install CM12.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
I'm not complaining, just want to point out :)

I have tried to flash this with twrp 2.8.5.0 but never got the gapps to quit force closing. So i flashed the latest Snapshot from 11-2014. Does anybody know if this is a dead rom or will the Snapshot versions be updated?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] qubbey:
Have you tried the included CM recovery?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] qubbey:
Will there be a build of the snapshot that was just released?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CataHd:
are there any issues in the last build?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ckovvi:
No, but it may have some lags because in last build cpu is downclocked to 1 GHz. I suggest to use build from october 10, I'm using it currently. ;)

Edit: Oh sorry thats the info for CM 12.1 ROM, I didn't noticed you asked about CM 12 so I don't know anything about last build there. Sorry again.

Yeah i trust you, but as the user before me said. Why is the unofficial one working while the official one is not? I don't want to wipe and flash Rom anymore, i'll wait for an update to fix it.

:crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] codeworkx:
Because the unofficial is newer and has some additional kernel patches.

The official nightly will have it today.

Build made by developer = unofficial

Build made by the cyanogenmod build servers = official

Will it be possible (and advisable) to upgrade from the unofficial build to the official one, when it becomes available?

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

I used the GApps package suggested by codeworkx in post #13 and they're working fine for me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ironwick:
And how did you install them? "Cm+gapps+reboot", " cm+reboot+balls+reboot"... I have tried both with the package of codeworks but no luck so far.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Darsil:
I wiped system, data and cache, then flashed CM and GApps, finally rebooted and in about 10 minutes I got through first boot and into setup wizard.

I did the same procedure for the last three nightlies and codeworkx's unofficial build and never had any issues.

I'd check MD5 sums for all the files, just to be sure, then maybe you can try other GApps packages, wiping system before every CM flash to ensure no old GApps are left around.

Someone with more experience might have better suggestions, anyway.

There is no sense of flashing these nightly builds... yet.

Back to Neo's homebuilds, it's faster, more stable and at least there is normal recovery included, not that poor Cyanogen "recovery" where I can't even backup my data! I had to reflash 4.3 kernel back to flash anything, your cyanogen recovery refused to flash ANY file!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Darsil:
You can install a FOTAKernel recovery that will override any other and persist across different ROM flashes (as long as you don't flash an FTF firmware with flashtool), being accessible as long as the kernel you flash is compatible with a FOTAKernel partition recovery (CM kernel works fine with it). That's what I did to be able to switch back and forth between official and unofficial builds, try the latest nightlies and always have my recovery available, with a simple and handy way for NANDroid backup and restore. (Thanks again to WhiteNeo for teaching me this was possible! :D)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] deywid12345:
I just flashed this, works very smooth #ANDROIDMR, but one thing hits me hard, how on earth can I flash any other zip than update to system via new Cyanogen Recovery? I want to install Xperia Keyboard, I can't stand any other keyboard, can somebody tell me?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Darsil:
I also tried to flash Xperia Keyboard, since swipe isn't working on the default keyboard, but the input method settings aren't working anymore for me and just force close since the last nightly, even if I delete all files I flashed for the alternate keyboard.

Flashing the same zip worked fine before.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
How is the new build?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Darsil:
I upgraded from codeworkx's unofficial build to the last nightly and the only downside I found is I can't open the input method selector anymore, so I'm stuck with the default keyboard that lacks swipe functions (settings are there, but I can't enable the feature).

"Themes" and "Notification Drawer" sections have been added to personalization settings. The default camera app correctly supports 16:9 resolutions without skewing the image when rotating the phone from portrait to landscape position.

This is what I noticed today, there are surely many "under the hood" differences and more I didn't get to notice. Changelogs are here, but from a practical point of view they are not so useful, I think.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] deywid12345:
Anyways you cant enter to the menu where you can change Keyboard, it's just crashing over and over, I guess Im coming back on stock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CS Fan 991:
The ROM is pretty good .

The only bug I found was the nightly update

You need to do it manualy , auto isn't working

Guys whats your problem with the CM Keyboard its good :D

Try using swiftkey. You can enable the keyboard in this APP seperate
