1. Layout issue in Music Player, Audio FX and Sound Recorder. After the audio recording we cant see the Save/Discard options.

2. Toggles like 2G/3G Mode, Go to sleep, Ring Mode (Silent, Vibrate, Sound) etc missing in Quick Setting Notification Drawer.

3. Too much lag in Call UI, Dialer and File Manager. When screen is unlocked, I can see the caller in heads up. BUT when the screen is locked, and if a call comes, I can see the caller name only after 5-6 seconds.

4. Without Gapps ROM is smooth. Sometimes black screen appears like when opening a Whatsapp chat, black screen appers for 2-3 seconds (Status bar is active at this time though).

5. Audio stuttering.

6. UI lags too much when downloading files from Wifi specially Notification Drawer.

Other than these the ROM is a master piece (Without Gapps and Force high End Graphics Off). Hats off to Mike and other devs. Great work.

I already have sandisk ultra 16gb. But i use that in my primary device. And on this one i hav a class 4 sandisk. Since it is my secondary device. I don wanna spend much on sd card for this device. So i asked. Since i can get a strontium class 10 16gig for 350INR but its speeds are 10rd/6wr. While i can get an hp class 10 8gig with 48rd/16wr for the same price. Thats why i asked. If strontium speeds are enough for running the os smoothly then i would opt for that as it has higher capacity. Else i have to go for the hp. While sandisk and samsung 8gb are also available for the same price point but their speeds are lower compared to the HP one(atleast as mentioned in specs). So i m confused what to do!! [emoji29]

I installed the alpha cm12 build on my Mini Pro and it lagged like anything, almost unusable. I was wondering if it was an issue with the SD card like reported here a couple of times, but it handled Link2SD well in the past, while on the CM11 builds (my card is class 6 Kingston 16gb). Could someone please shed some light on this one? I understand the r/w speed, but how does it differ from the two cases - i.e. Link2SD and cm12 builds? Might swap my class 10 from my primary phone (which of same size) if sd-card is the issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Foget about read and write speads ... Compare Random Read/Write speeds, your phone needs this on the data partition to be as high as possible for better performance. If the card you are looking at does not list this, check online for people who have benchmarked it. Most Class 4 cards outperform Class 10 cards because random r/w are sacrificed to get the "normal" r/w speed higher.

Well, that contradicts what Mike writes on the first post of the dev thread... Maybe people should post their microsd benchmarks with Crystaldiskmark when they are saying that the ROM is smooth or that is laggy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Souroking:
Well i cannot find any contradictions there. Mike has only mentioned that we need a 2gb ext partition on class 10 sd card. While langes gave the details. Very confusing. I think i just have to go for a costlier card then.

Problem with fastboot

I have satsuma phone and when i tried to install CM12 something changed. Phone is enetering fastboot mode, but immediately after upload boot.img the blue led is turning off. If i remeber it should lights as long as phone is connected to PC. Anyone know what is going on with my phone and how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

[Edit]

Flashmode is working OK. I flashed stock 4.1.B.0.587 firmware using flashtool without problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Orestisns:
Well, most of the people here saying that the rom is too smooth. Its too early to say something like that and this confusing most of the users here. I tried the rom with two different sd cards and the results was almost the same (San disk 8gb class 10 and Samsung EVO 16gb class 10). Don't forget that this is an initial build. I would be surprised if this rom was smooth from the first build.

A lot of lags during the setup wizard, some errors during the cyanogen recovery, and applications not as fast as the last build of cm11 (some of them was a bit more faster, like youtube app but I don't know if this is because of the sd card ( I didn't tried Samsung evo on CM11))

Generally, I think that this build is much better than the initial build of CM11 but there is a long way until developers reach the stability of last CM10.1-11 build. I don't even know if we will have a stable build of CM12 because CM 12.1 is on the way.

I think that if we want a stable build, we have to wait about 3-4 releases, so its not suitable yet for daily use.

I will do a clean install again this weekend to retrieve some log files.

Switched to a Class 10 card with EXT4 partition and everything works smoothly! Thanks, Mike and all the devs associated with the project! :D

Also, did anyone try f2fs? I'm not sure how to partition my card with the layout, but I read in many places that it might boost the speed further.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frenziefrenz:
I'm sorry, but after a day or two (at the time) and now going on five days I can say with complete confidence that it is indeed completely smooth. That is not a statement about overall usability, although that is fine too. I do find cm-11 slightly preferable in almost every respect but smoothness. The thing is, it's only a little bit worse so overall cm-12 definitely comes out on top. Also, I think cm-12 may have been draining my battery a bit faster than cm-11, but that's harder to quantify. One always needs to disable all kinds of battery wasting features like background mobile data and keeping wifi enabled while sleeping and figuring out just the right mix of Google settings before I get the ±5 days on one charge with minor use I'm used to.

Just as an example of the smoothness, on cm-11 K-9 Mail was practically unusable for me, and the built-in e-mail app was no party either. On this cm-12 build, K-9 Mail is smoother than it once was back in version 2 or 3 on Android 2.3. And stuff like the Play Store? Hah! That thing had practically unusable on cm-11 (and any other version of Android) with all of its weight gain over the years. The fact that it's actually usable again in spite of that is positively amazing.

I was half trying to decide between Jolla and One Plus One because my phone was kind of EOL even though the hardware was still in fine shape. But now I'm completely confident that I can squeeze at least another year out of it.

While on the one hand that's obviously true for any first alpha-like release, thanks to using the same kernel as cm-11 I don't think that's the case in practice. There are just some dots missing on the is, like it seems there are currently no ringtones included by default.

Issues like how exactly the phone app behaves (not laggy per se, but being a bit weird about showing call stuff) are inherent Lollipop issues, nothing related to this ROM. Hopefully 5.1 will resolve those things.

I would like to extend a big thank you to Mike and the team for their amazing work and saving me money.

Nightly build 20150309 - cm-11.0 lists the backporting of f2fs, so that means it should. I'll give it a try when I have some time, because that ought to be much better than the performance failure called exFAT.

umm i suppose SD card shoulDn't be a matter of worries, its a class 10 card (16 GB)

and i did the following steps

*flashed IMG from zip via flashtool*

*got in recovery*

*found no option as mount and storage* IDK if it's only me

*there was no option to install zip from SD card so i chose install update and flashed that system wipe file*

*and then flashed rom the same way i flashed that system wipe file*

*and after install was complete i wiped system and cache wipe partition*

Had cm-12-20150314-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron running for three days. I'd say it's stable-ish:

Sadly exhibits the same random freeze behaviour as the CM11 LX releases for me: Screen goes dark, buttons become unresponsive and I have to pull the battery.

As for the performance: Practically unusable with my Class 4 sdcard while multi tasking. Class 10 works OK.

Question: Is there a way to provide logs on those random freezes? Pulling the battery, rebooting and then generating logs via the LX app won't contain data on previous sessions or am I mistaken?

Touch Issue (Only with me)

This is related to one of my question for cm11 thread.

My device is smultron.

I was able to run cm11 perfectly for cm-11-20140816-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron.zip

Then after the touch screen works in recovery while installing the new rom (starting 20140907); but after installation (reboot), the touch doesn't work at all even for selecting the language.

Reboot in recovery, the touch works there!

I tried 201409, 201410, 201411, 201412 all same result. I go back to 20140816 and things start working again!!

Now I tried CM12 nightly 20150314, and I got the same result. Phone boots up nicely with blue and white cyanogen mod screen, with English(United state) selected but can't click Next :(

Can somebody help me, should I go about debugging this issue??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :crying:

Satsuma problems continue

A few days ago i tried to install CM12 on my satsuma. There was some problems (i described it on this thread). Then i tried to install CM11 (earlier i was on CM11 cm-11-20150310-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma.zip and that one worked ok). After attempting to install CM12 I could not go back to CM11, so I installed stock 4.1.B.0.587 version, using flashtool and FTF file. On this version my device is working properly.

Today, I tried to install CM12 again:

- flashed boot.img (from cm-12-20150314-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma.zip) using fastboot,

- after fastboot finished work (below 1 second) blue LED turned-off (although the device was connected to PC),

- after disconecting the device form PC it begins to start: LegacyXperia logo appeared, LED ligths violet, than after few seconds LED turn-off,

- I tried to enter do recovery mode, but it failed.

- I waited about 30 minutes - LX logo was shown, and nothing else happened,

- I repeated this procedure twice with the same result.

Anyone have an idea what should I do to install CM12 or CM 11 back?

Thanks in advance.

This is the only commit that affects touch on smultron and matches the dates you mentioned. You also mentioned that touch works in recovery, so I don't know what's wrong if it still doesn't work when removing the above. Your touchscreen is probably not original

Thanks a ton mike for digging that old stuff up :good:

Reverting those changes brought my touch back to life..:):):)

About the touch panel, it is perhaps duplicate one. I got it replaced from local shop while I was having cm10.2 running.

btw, What is that change which made only my touch stop working? I believe it is selecting the firmware file.

Also reverting to stock makes touch stop working.

Once again Thanks x1000 times.

How to use a non-FAT filesystem as /storage/sdcard0

Just a quick note on the non-FAT (e.g. ext4/F2FS) crash issue with Media Provider when you try to use a non-FAT filesystem: until the fix is reintroduced to cm-12, you can just install the Media Provider from cm-11 instead. It's in /system/priv-app in the cm-11 zip file.

F2FS performance on the first SD partition is so much better (by a factor 10 or so) than FAT32 or exFAT it's not even funny. It's the difference between usable and completely unusable in Kiwix and Aard Dictionary. F2FS seems to perform comparably to ext4, but I'm not sure if there are any particular up or downsides with regard to important stuff like error handling. My gut feeling says ext4 will probably do better even without journaling, but I hope I'm wrong.

Good news aside, the new MTP file transfer nonsense means you can't really transfer files larger than 4 GB or so (or even comfortably transfer files larger than ~1 GB) without physically taking out the SD card. It turns out the problem was not the performance abyss called (ex)FAT, but simply some issue inherent in MTP. I figure adb push should probably do the trick instead, but I haven't yet bothered to try that.

So there you go. cm-12 can now completely replace cm-11. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
I think the calibration part is what breaks touch, since you removed the fw loader and issue persisted.

Your touchscreen reports a valid ID but doesn't work, other replacement touchscreens don't work at all without a firmware load.

So, we include the firmware to cover most cases and if anyone has issues he can remove it. You can probably create a flashable zip that replaces hw_config.sh so you can flash it when updating
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] joshipallav:
Sure I would like to do that. Can you point me to a link which tells/teaches how to do that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
If you do not want (OR do know how) to create flashable zip then just run this on your computer: (when in recovery mode)

adb shell mount /system

adb push hw_config.sh /system/etc/

Make sure modified hw_config.sh is in current directory
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] joshipallav:
Thanks. I understand those commands.

But I do want to create a flashable zip. But don't know how to create it.
