Yeah .. i converted Data, cache and SDcard to f2fs about 2 months ago and increased data as well ... i will consider slim zero in the future :)

other 5.1 packages are ok i think

Hey guys , I'm on the stock 6.1.A.2.55 rom and want to install TWRP recovery as it's stated in the instructions on the main page.

TWRP Manager app doesn't work and always gives me errors.

To this moment I have rooted phone with second option from Root Many Android.

Can anyone help me here? If I only made a backup before flashing some stupid sound mod I wouldn't have to waste half of a day on flashing and reading about all that stuff :(

EDIT: When I want to flash the kernel In rashr app it says my device isn't supported, the whole app is a mess and lacks graphics.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
If you want to not brick your device you should read, read, read. Anyway let me help you with installing twrp.

1. First of all download Terminal Emulator from Play Store.

2. Download latest TWRP from here (https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperias.html), it doesn't matter if you pick nozomi or the other one, they are the same file.

3. Rename it to twrp.img, and place it in the sdcard.

4. Open up Terminal Emulator and type this commands:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

5. Reboot, and enjoy your costume revocery.

For how to flash uCyan or nAOSP you should start reading the OP, everything is explained, and it's a fairly easy process.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sztermel:
Thanks for replying.

I forgot to write but I did the same thing earlier that micky wrote on #441 post on nAOSP thread. After typing this commands it says that somethink has been copied and how long it took. I turn the phone off and there's no pink light flashing, and pressing up/down doesn't do anything :(

I tried it on B.96 firmware before and it gave the same results.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
what roms you were running when you tried the terminal method ?

if you're on stock .96 rom I don't think it'll work for you, you must be on lollipop
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sztermel:
There's no stock lollipop rom for Xperia S so how can I get there?

Just a moment ago I flashed TWRP finally but through bootloader. After wiping eerything I get error that there's something wrong with the installation :eek:

Flashing uCyan or nAOSP Roms

According to my experience (I might be mistaken) there are 2 ways on flashing LP Roms from stock/custom ICS/JB Roms.

1. To flash via Fastboot or Flashtool (optional) KitKat kernel which has in-built TWRP recovery and then to install uCyan or nAOSP Roms through its TWRP recovery.

2. To flash uCyan or nAOSP Roms through S-DooMKernel-JB-v06 CWM recovery.

3. After that to install TWRP recovery in FOTA partition via Terminal apk

PS. But sometimes and some people face an error like "update binary bla bla...", so in that case I think flashing through S-DooMKernel-JB-v06 CWM recovery can help that.

Buy the nexus 6, you are guaranteed stock lollipop rom.

Joke aside, you have to use costume rom for twrp to work, Lollipop is prefered, since it's the latest version of android ofc
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
You need to read carefully and to follow those instructions :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59041850&postcount=1002

You have not the pink light because you have not flashed the kernel of the ROM (boot.img available on the zip). But just read the link provided and do it step by step and you will not have any trouble.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rampage2020:

Few days ago I've installed uCyan (b05) as a clean install. I've noticed that every time I'm charging up the phone it reboots. It''s pretty anoying :/

Does anyone noticed similar problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sztermel:
Thanks for all help guys.

I got it all to work by flashing the kernel that berda77 suggested me.

The problem with installing the kernel was, that rashr app wasn't working. I remember trying to use it few months ago and it always was saying that my device is unsupported and it was unusable in overall.

But now everything is fine and working, thanks!

On another topic: I'm experiencing a bit lag, after I've enabled zswap + swap(in data) with low memory killer set to 165. I've set the swap to 300Mb, did I overdo it? Should I lower the partition or expand it? What's your thought on that?

It's fairly common for an old device plus it's summer. Just turn the display off and leave it to cool a little bit. That should help.

Never really used it, but heard bad reviews about it. It does nothing, unless it puts some ice on that hot CPU :). The ROM itself has some thermal protection manager. Just leaving it to rest for a while will do the job, no need for fancy apps.

I can't see the Performance menu in 12.1b05. Has it been removed, or is it a result of dirty flash over b4 ?

Hi there ... I did clean install but do not have the performance menu .. I remember some1 said it before u ... But I think Micky is doing some experiments on kernels .. So that's why may be .. Also if o go in recovery .. It says OC .. But no option in rom b5.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shredder8:
hi, first of all thanks to mickybart for the awesome rom.

I just have only 1 concern. whenever i'm playing music on the music app or the walkman app the volume goes from no sounds at all directly to full volume and it's quite unpleasant when listening through earphones.

Anybody experiencing the same thing here and how do i resolve it? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
The thermal configuration since b4 permit the CPU to run at full clock with an higher temperature than before. The shutdown temperature is the same so don't be afraid about this change. You can of course review those settings if you want (see changelog of b4)

About no sound with hangout and facebook, you can try to do this (Everybody else noticed this issue ?) :

adb shell

su

setprop persist.audio.dualmic.config none

setprop persist.audio.fluence.voicecall false

setprop persist.audio.fluence.voicerec false

setprop persist.audio.fluence.speaker false

reboot the device

About random reboot I don't know what can cause it without detail but check that if this is a soft reboot, kernel reboot, applications/modules installed by recovery or root (like Xposed and Xposed modules) etc.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gameputra:
Just lock and unlock phone using power button......that will fix the issue.

Perhaps one can use the same patches to get this working on this device too?

I'm talking about this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-orig-develop/5-0-cyanogenmod-12-beta-t2944968

boot error

Started "googdreads" app, got a forced reboot. (did not tryed yet the audio commands told by [MENTION=437224]mickeyb[/MENTION]art)

Since, the boot takes almost forever (10-20mins), when done, a pop up says that I need a factory reset to solve the problem (and the phone is unresponsive as hell).... very very strange, never happens on any ROM I used and on various devices....

Tryed to fix permission on recovery but nothing....

I am trying to get a logcat but it seems that the server has not started on the phone. :p (- waiting for device -)

May be it´s time to clean flash and try again, :crying:

With any new I will post it....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Novastylez:
You could try to delete the "raging" app manually: TWRP provides an included file manager (but before you can access /data you have to mount it)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MobiDroid™:
allright thanks!

i flashed, it all works fine.

if some keeps hanging on flash with boot.img in fashtool, use cmd prompt.

if cmd prompt says: waiting for device, unplug usb cable from phone and quickly replug to keep the bootloader state on phone and re-initialize usb connection to pc, this worked for me, it flashed boot.img

but as stated above, actually you don't need to flash boot.img in above mentioned cases.

Thanks for the rom mickybart, finally back on CM with all used to CM goodies plus extra's, finally can use gesture typing again :D

will start using the rom now.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Thanks for yours feedback.

I have tested multiple time to flash boot.img from bootloader and it was fine. I have not long reboot too. I'm using a GNU/Linux system to do the flash. I will try a day on Windows if I have the hand on a windows physical box but the issue should be on the tool/environment than on the boot.img file itself.

About dt2w, I'm trying to repoduce it but no chance for the moment. I will redo and redo. If I'm not able to figure out the problem I will integrate a workaround (disable by default, and re-enable after boot or first unlock. I will check the driver code in the same time)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Yes, dirty flash is not possible from nAOSProm or pure AOSP.

Do you really reboot your device so many times?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SysGhost:
Seems strange, but with this ROM Gallery, Camera and a few other apps are giving me the notorious "No external storage available", and then they quit/force close.

I tried various file systems on the external storage partition, but keep getting the same error.

I'll try to investigate this deeper once I get a chance to extract the catlog from the phone. But until then I hope someone can give me a pointer in the right direction.

And: The usual "solutions" on the Internet about soft reboot, clear cache etc. does not work... any of them.

Also: I only have this problem with this ROM, not the others.

EDIT: logcat.txt attached.

EDIT2:

These lines tells me there's a permission problem:

E/cutils ( 201): Failed to mkdirat(/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d): Permission denied
W/Vold ( 201): Returning OperationFailed - no handler for errno 13
W/ContextImpl(29935): Failed to ensure directory: /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d/cache

I tried setting the permission to 777 on /storage/sdcard0/, aswell as /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d, but no go. Error goes away, but the problem remains.

If I try to reboot, the permission is reset back to the original "drwxrwx--x" (771) Owner: sdcard_r on /storage/sdcard0

EDIT 3:

Seems I am not allowed to change any permission in /storage/sdcard0/* at all. Everything keeps resetting back. I guess f2fs, ext4 and similar filesystems interfear with the general android sdcard permissions system. Once back on fat32, it works as it should.

But fat32 is not useful for me as I need to store files larger than 4 GiB on my device. A dealbreaker so far. :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Just curious. Are there supposed to be any performance (or other) issues considering that this is running on nAOSP kernel right now?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
/storage/sdcard0 is a fuse layer who permit to set permission on a permissionless filesystem. Permission should always be good on this part.

You need to check permission on /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 and be sure to have (owner and group set to media_rw, permission set to 770. on both case that need to be applied to every files and folder so recursively from the root of the sdcard0)

FS supported for sdcard0 are only vfat, f2fs and ext4 on uCyan (this is more restrictive than CyanogenMod itself but I will improve that part). Permissions are not fixed during the mount by vold.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
No this is exactly the same.

nAOSProm b17 kernel and uCyan kernel are exactly the same for No OC, OC and OC_Ultra. There is nothing specific to change between AOSP and CyanogenMod on that part.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SysGhost:
/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 is already owned by media_rw, and permission are set to 770.

# ls -la /mnt/media_rw/
drwxrwx--- media_rw media_rw 2015-02-12 15:52 sdcard0
drwx------ media_rw media_rw 2015-02-15 19:06 usbdisk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
You need to check recursively and not only the root.

specially on every folders of this path : /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d

in any doubt just try to do :

chown -R 1023.1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

chmod -R 770 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marshel:

If the phone looses network connection (low or no network area), I have to manually scan the network once I am in good reception area.

Hi, thanks for keep updated this ROM but the last build is giving me a lot of problems:

The phone is slower than nAosp. Looks faster but when you open some apps then it becomes slower (lag, slow response...). The memory is not full and have about 250MB of free memory.

The battery drains faster than other Roms when is in use. In sleep mode seems to last about three days (more than others but not tested if is true).

The battery percent next to icon is only showed when is charging. I've changed the icon options and when is inside the icon is working fine.

The wallpaper only changes after a reboot.

The phone sometimes say that i'm in roaming and that is not true. Even having the phone in same place, i've got a message of roaming and later is normal without change the phone position.

Sometimes i loose the network and i've to reboot the phone to get back again.

Firstly i thought that was a bad flash (clean but bad), but i've formatted the whole phone again and i've got the same behaviour... I love this Rom, but i don't like to have a slow response, loose network and have to charge the battery two times at day instead one (i listen music). The other things are not important.

Greetings!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Lot of issues are related to CM itself. I will build a new version when I will have the time. Honestly, I prefer and I run nAOSP rom. Maybe you can try SimpleAOSP that is more feature rich and seems enough stable compared to CM.

I don't really want to troll but I'm worried that CM is not able to release a stable version.

Too bad :(

I'm using the nAosp again. For now is the best Rom i've tested.
