Hi guys,

I recently installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my Xperia E C1505 phone following a guide I found on the net. Everything seems to be working fine so far except for a couple of small issues:

1.- Every time I boot the phone I get a dialog box saying "SIM card added: Restart your device to access the mobile network." If I press the phone's back button, I can use it normally. However, if I press "Restart" on the dialog box, the phone boots right into CWM's recovery mode. and I have to restart from here.

2.- When I attempt to dial a number starting with an asterisk (*) I get an error message saying something like "Invalid MMI code". Regular numbers work fine.

Does anyone know how to fix these problems?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Since they updated the 'bios' IPL 1.03 so to speak for the latest builds of of WM5, would it not be prudent to update as such for the builds of WM6 we are all playing with? At the very least I can see the potential for better memory management and faster video performance, on top of handling of the device filesystem.

Has anyone been there to 1.03 and back again?

Any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
IPL is initial program loader.

it kickstarts the hardware then hands over to the SPL... nothing like the above.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
Not a bad idea, but I think most rom cookers focus on the OS part, not wanting to force much else on their victims, I mean customers.

Updating the IPL on your own is super easy. There is a thread that tells you how - I think in the upgrading forum. I did it - took like 2 minutes. Haven't noticed much, but it IS newer.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] p.loong:
Yes i have no problem at all
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ?Glitch:
So there is not anything to speak of in terms of performance either way, I wonder what the diff is between 1.01 & 1.03, is it possible there might have been a few low level bugs discovered?

?Glitch
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ?Glitch:
Yes, I am aware of IPL's purpose, or layer, SPL (supplemental program load), the utility & OS partition boot mgr, (Like PQ Boot Magic), operator device protection layer and so for, I guess what I am curious about is why the update?

?Glitch
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Differences are very minor.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ?Glitch:
Then I'm guessing from the DEV prospective, 1.02 was probably a bit more radical, probably included an API that the OS level didn't yet support, or may something they couldn't get to work on the radio side that they couldn't get to work explaining the jump in versions of radios...

As you know CM 12 is in an heavy development stage so don't report bug that are due to CM itself on this thread except if you need to be sure that this is not due to Nozomi integration stuff.

I have not the infrastructure to release a nightly build but the target is to follow M release cycle. the M1 should arrive in a near future. Thanks a lot to CyanogenMod Team for the amazing works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darknessmc:
I'll try it now

Thanks. Good to see CM12 finally
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
this is awesome. those new themes for cm themes are looking good. cant wait to try.

if coming from pure aosp/naosp rom must wipe data too?

thanks [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Not tested but that should work fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UlvarinPL:
Hello guys,

Can someone point differences between uCyan and nAOSP??

I know that you Mickeybart are developer of these two. And I dont even know how to thank you for that!!

Are they both on similar stability and development stage?

Is the only diffrence a CM theme engine or they are much more "underhood" changes?

Wich one of them is better for everyday usage? Im on nAOSP b16 and it works almost perfect for me after shutting down tapping to wake up.

I'd love to give it a try ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UlvarinPL:
OH Thank you mister clever!!!!

Im not a total idiot and u can belive me or not but i did read that already....

I wanted to know what are underhood changes and in wich development stage are both roms compared to themselves ofc!!

naosp is on b16 after many many bugfixes, and for example i want to know are these bugfixes included in CM12, or is it a step back in development due to changing subject to CM12 funcionality...

Mb if you know that u can share it with us instead of pointing out google, since we all saw how clever you already are ;)

CM = aosp + cm team tweaks, naosp = aosp + mickeybart teweaks, im very curious what are differences between these.

Also this CM12 for xperia S = Aosp + CM + Mickeybart tweaks, i still think my questions are much more important than knowing that cm is a bloatware free alternative of android for legacy and also new phones (wich is all u can read about cm on their site...)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
After fixing up radio.

R u going to submit the code to cm for review. And get official support??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Can someone point differences between uCyan and nAOSP?

nAOSProm is based on AOSP code source with "small" patches to add some features and Nozomi stuffs. Patches are not to heavy to guarantee stability and easy maintenance with AOSP upstream.

uCyan is based on CyanogenMod (based itself on AOSP). there is a lot of patches and change at every level (core, applications, hardware support ...)

Are they both on similar stability and development stage?

For stability absolutely not.

CyanogenMod 12 is on an heavy development and for early adopter. That will surely change after CM-12 M1 release. But everybody is free to use it early and to help CynogenMod to fix bugs. After few day of utilization (more as a developer than final user), it's working fine (some bugs like profile crash for example, on contact and dialer you lost the last position on the contact window if you background the application and foreground it after, etc).

nAOSProm can be considered stable (this doesn't means free of bug and we are all waiting Android 5.1 :))

Is the only diffrence a CM theme engine or they are much more "underhood" changes?

There is a lot more like weather integration, quick settings configuration, physical buttons management, profile usage, performance (cpu, governor, io), applications like Eleven (music replacement), Browser, SMS/Mms with Material look and feel, ProGuard etc

Wich one of them is better for everyday usage?

uCyan miss FmRadio support because I have more works than expected on this part. There is a lot of change on the bluetooth part. Except that every tweak made on nAOSProm are ported to uCyan (some one comes from CyanogenMod, some other from me) so you will have the same level of integration.

I have tried to test everything that I can and for me uCyan can be used everyday. In the same time the b17 of nAOSProm will arrive with some stuff that I learn and did with uCyan. Try and answer by yourself :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
I think that bluetooth a2dp is not working. If someone can test it to report ? if it is working that should be maybe possible to submit a review (I think that screen flickering need to be fixed prior).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hYpercrites:
uhm, do i need a clean flash if i come from CM11?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UlvarinPL:
thank you Mickybart!!

Hmm i think im gonna give a try to uCyan a little bit later after it will be as u said M1 or at least even with nAOSP :P.

till then cant wait for naosp b17!!

PS. Personally in the spotify and podcasts era i do not miss fmradio at all ;)

Thank you for great work!

Honestly you should start accepting donations, im sure a lot of us would love to donate u at least a nice beer to enjoy ;)

clean flash or dirty flash? i dirty flash it, and has dialer app crashing too. plus with messaging (mms.apk) crashing.. i wonder if it happen to with clean flash.

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
i did a clean flash and dialer, is lag as in all lollipop builds, but is working fine.. .. just called my bro :D for test
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
what gapps do you use? and do you have problem with messaging app? or do you use hangout? i use exdialer and it's working fine though, at least to make a call, havent tried for receiving.

i use (latest) pa gapps nano. other things seem working just fine though.

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
im using PA gapps nano beta 5, using stock cm messagin app, and can recieve call too......(stock phone and dialer app)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
I have noticed that the dialer has some new bugs but this is due to CM patches.

It's working on a clean flash on my side too (I will try a dirty one from nAOSProm).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] patrol-cz:
It was a dirty flash from nAOSP b16. The SMS/MMS app has been crashing as well. After factory reset (formatting data/caches) all repaired and now dialer as well as SMS/MMS are OK. So, dirty flash from nAOSP is not recommended :(.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
It's working fine. You're doing something wrong
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shamsul007:
no luck. V4A just refuses to work system wide. Guess my phone has a mind of its own. I cant complain, im saving a lot more battery and v4a only processes audio in music app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sidz93:
Auto Rotation not working ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ntduyphuong:
Thank you developer for creating this awesome ROM. Everything runs smoothly, no force close, no crash

The only problem I'm facing is battery life. Battery drains 12% overnight (1AM - 7AM) with all connections turned of (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, NFC...). In "Battery usage", "Cell stanby" used up to 70% all the time, which is very strange to me. For normal usage (reading news, few phone calls, SMS...), battery life is short, about half as before (AOSP KitKat).

Is anyone having this issue? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
Use greenify and hibernate all unnecessary apps you don't want notifications from. For me the standby battery drain is not bad.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You are not alone man. In mine too it only works with the music player. I think it has something to do with SELinux being disabled (The SELinux needs to be set to permissive). I have attached screenshots. For videos, the processing says "NO".
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Disabled and permissive are the same thing
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shamsul007:
Disabled and permissive are the same thing. I think this has something to do with our sampling rate. I've tried modifying the audio policy to replace 48000 with 44100 as the default sampling rate but no luck. I thought it was just my phone, I've posted this issue on the V4A thread, im hoping someone has a fix.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Don't know if this helps but when I first installed V4A, it showed the sampling rate as 48 KHz (don't remember if it was working system wide). So I was a bit surprised as I thought sampling rate is hardware dependent. Wanted to ask mickybart about it but by then sampling rate had gone back to 44 KHz like in the previous ROMs. I have no idea how it happened
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
I found a solution. Found a thread for V4a for lollipop (thread). Download the first 2 zips (the third one is meant for nexus 5 only).

Uninstall the installed v4a(uninstall the driver first). Flash the zips in recovery. The second one removes the pre-installed audio fx and other audio engines and then installs V4a. It is working now. The sampling rate is still 48KHz. The driver version seems to be different(its 2.3.3.0).

You can try it. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
2.3.3.0 is just the older version of V4A that's all
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shamsul007:
YAY. V4A working in youtube, soundcloud etc. Sampling is at 48khz which means better audio I guess. There's not much difference between this and the latest V4A, just more DDC settings. Thanks for this.

EDIT: CPU BUG

Just noticed a bug last night whilst streaming films on Netflix/Mxplayer. After an hour in I noticed a major drop in framerate and the system became very laggy and unresponsive. After opening kernel auditor I noticed that the CPU Max Frequency had dropped to 864Mhz. Not sure if this is an isolated incident, just thought id mention in case anyone else has had this issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
How long do you have your xperia s? :D it's not a bug. It's a feature for de-throttling cpu when the phone gets hot. You can alter /etc/thermald-semc.conf otherwise just live with it.

And for v4a. Is it better to ask it in appropriate thread?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
what should i edit in /etc/thermald-semc.conf to disable the dethrottling ?

EDIT: Nevermind, I've found it. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shamsul007:
I noticed this on my "bug" on my carbon KK ROM as well. Slightly embarrassed now.

And yeah I suppose it was, but it was a weird issue as only me and one other user were having problems. Won't be spamming this page in the future. ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shamsul007:
Just tried this now. Nope no lag.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Ok thanks. I guess the dirty flash is causing it then

Screen flicker is a know bug in this rom, and also pAOSP and nAOSP roms, the devs are working on it, and it will be gone in the future.

The rom is in early stages so some bugs may occur.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kyxynox:
This is not a big problem since the ROM is in beta release. I'm on pAOSP and I notice it. Since I haven't a lot of time I'm trying to make the ROM almost perfectly daily usable, by disabling double tap to wake and fast wrist to wake, because they caused me some problems.

It's a great thing that our (sadly) old phone can even handle Lollipop, and it's fantastic to see it running good, even if it's not perfect. I'm happy with it. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Or, if you have ADB debugging enabled (which you should always have when installing beta software), type this in adb shell (you might need to su):

settings put global airplane_mode_on 1
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true

(just checking in to see how the nozomi is doing, glad to see you guys are keeping the little critter alive)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SysGhost:
Good one!

I was looking for something like that. Thanks!

I ALWAYS keep the debugging over USB activated. I'm that kind of a guy ;) .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
I know that some of you are sometime using nAOSProm kernel on uCyan so please don't flash OC Ultra kernel from nAOSProm b18 to uCyan because one of your core will try to run at 2.05Ghz.

The reason is that some scripts on the user space need to be updated (specially for oc kernel).

I will try to update uCyan to b03 soon to provide features introduced on the new b18.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
b03 released

Thanks to [MENTION=5107393]ztc1997[/MENTION] that submitted some kernel code about dt2w, color calibration, lz4 and fast charge (I have done minor changes)

I have mainly focused on some tuning and kernel improvements.

Brightness should be by default in the same range than stock ROM (.96).

USB Fast Charge is available but disabled by default

SD card: Read ahead set to 2048kb by default (previously to 128kb. That will not increase the read speed but user experience should be better)

Zram switch to lz4. lz4 is around 3 times faster to read than lz0. write speed is the same.

About clock management :

GPU was running at full speed all the time. This is not the case anymore on every kernel. 2d will run at 96Mhz and 3d at 177Mhz by default. The max frequency depend of the kernel used.

GPU governor is set to ondemand and you can change it if needed.

OC Ultra kernel is set to start at 1.51Ghz for the CPU. You can overclock up to 2.05Ghz.

To don't have the issue with hotplug cpu, I have run some test and decided to disable hotplug cpu for every overclocked kernel (so OC and OC Ultra). Hotplug is managed by the service mpdecision. This service is started by the script "/system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh" (search cpumax string).

Don't enable mpdecision with OC Ultra kernel.

I'm keeping OC kernel because it is wide used but I think that I will remove it in the future to have only 1 kernel without OC and another one with OC supported but blocked to 1.51 or 1.73Ghz (to discuss).

And of course lot of bugs fix and new features from CM Team :)

Glad to hear that! Will try later after download finishing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
b03 for me is very laggy for now. I did a dirty flash so i think that's whats causing the lag. Will do a clean install to see if that was the problem after the phone charges. Using OC ultra overclocked to 2.05ghz, zram at 224 and low memory killer on 70.

EDIT: Clean flash solved it. Running smooth again. CPU overheats on 2.05 so I'm sticking to 1.8 for now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

You can try Fastboot or Rashr tool to flash a kernel you want
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
Just a quick word for those who try to push their CPU to the limit. Don't forget that if the CPU overheat, the clock will be automatically reduced and so you can have a bad overall performance.

Keep it in mind :).

Nd gyroscope nd accelerometer still not work ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
Having issues with over-clocking. I set the CPU to 1.8 and after a reboot, it is back to 1.5 ... I'm on OC ultra and i tried the same thru Kernel tuner and Performance in setting, and i get the same result. Can someone explain to me whats happening, and how can i resolve this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Missing translations seem more an upstream problem...

Gyro and accelerometer on the other hand..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
By default the kernel OC ultra will always start with a frequency of 1.51 Ghz. You can use an application like CPU Tuner or Kernel Adiutor to change it automatically after the boot. This is normal because this parameter is volatile.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mickybart:
No change was made on gyro and accelerometer on my side. Maybe an issue introduced with some new code from CM.

I will take a look.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Both working fine here on B03 [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION]

But for some odd reason accelerometer is shown twice and one is “unknown type”
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
Well actually, I reverted back to b02, the UI and apps in the new beta hanged and lagged so much that I had to perform hard reset for few times. Also, I had FC on most of the apps. ( same thing on clean and dirty flash)

And, the battery saver seems to be gone? I don't use it but I noticed that its gone from b03.

I tested b18 for a day also, and i had problem with wiping data, cache in recovery (twrp 2.8.5.0). Lag was present same on b18.

Will attach logcats tomorrow, because I can't do it now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
You use very high values! As I can see from earlier post, 2 gigs and then down to 1.8 which is still very high. zRAM 224 and low mem 70 surely makes it worse. No wonder you're having so many issues
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
Oh forgot to mention that I reverted to oc kernel with default zram and lmk, but still the phone hanged so much.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
I have an SL which has a default of 1674. But still I have underclocked it to 1556. zRAM 192 and low mem 90.

B03 is quite smooth now. Was having some lags last night but I guess it could've been due to the heat after flashing. All good now though
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GjorgiDxc:
Will try to set setting as yours and will see what happens. One more question .. did you do a dirty or a clean flash ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
No all dirty flashes since B01
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
I can confirm there is no battery saving mod on b3.. Everything else is fine

Possibly a slightly different hardware revision ? Here, gyro as well as accelerometer are present and working.

Hi!

Everytime I'm flashing this ROM, I have problems with su. Supersu claims after installation, that the binary must be updated, but it fails repeatedly to do it. What I need is to flash a separate supersu package, which then allows to update the binary properly. I'm suspecting that nobody cares to chmod 4711 /system/xbin/su after flashing. At least I didn't find such a command in any of the scripts. And su without setuid permission is useless...
