Have a look at "Battery mode" in the "Battery" settings; there's a quick tile for this as well. I haven't touched it so far and went with No-frills CPU control instead. My settings are: 1.21GHz max, 122 MHz min, interactive and noop. Works well with cm-12.1-20150607-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron.

Hope that helps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] _tmp:
These effects are similar to what I had with different mango phones: The keyboard+display might work if you hold it in place halfway out? At some point the touchscreen might stop working after sliding out the keyboard once which is only fixable by rebooting. Display issues, like artifacts on the screen or the display not updating.

This happened also with stock rom and the reason was the failing flex cable. This can be replaced but its not that easy, I bought the part for about 15 Euros. Check the images for a badly broken cable. You need to reach step 7-8 on the iFixit sk17i teardown and the cable is glued to the slide assembly but can be removed.

If you buy one be careful as there are also fake ones out there that seem to fail a lot faster and might be missing some of the sensors that are located on the cable, a good indication whether it is genuine is the product number 1241-7544 that should be printed on it.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I tried to open my phone but i wasn't able to release on of the screws....

i gave up and bought a new (used) mango phone on ebay.

i do not understand why but i get a lot of strange errors while updating the new (used) phone to cm12....

I did every thing as i did with my old phone but i get random reboots, a lot of 'the application xyz stopped' etc... i do not understand what i do wrong this time.. and i'm a little desperate now...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JimmyRay:
Interesting. I have also been toying with the idea of using the ROM without GApps, largely to improve idle battery life.

May I ask what you are using for calendar and email? I was never able to set-up calendar syncing without GApps.

Also, thank you for posting the links to the spare parts. I may consider buying a new back cover for my Ray in the future.

I purchased an Xperia SX from an auction site last week, however there is very little rom development, due to the locked bootloader and limited Japan-only release. It's a great phone - very light and compact. But after being spoilt my mike's excellent CM11 and now CM12.1 builds, the bloated Sony JellyBean rom feels horrible.

Thanks again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neurer:
Sure, but it largely depends on your use cases as well as your hardware/software environment. Here it goes for mine: Private calendars are kept local with Calendar Manager. I don't sync them. For business/syncing purposes I use Baikal Server, which you can hook up to pretty much any app that supports the DAV protocol. And to make sure that I don't miss stuff, notifications are sent to my desktop and laptop via KDE Connect. That's it.

Emails are handled by K-9 Mail. Configured with polling disabled and push only to minimize battery usage, as there seems to be an issue with radio active on Android 5.x releases. Appointments which are attached to emails can be imported via Add to calendar if necessary.

Also, to replace some of the functions that go missing when you leave out GApps, consider looking at the NOGapps Project here on xda.

CM 11 vs CM 12.1

I'm currently using the latest CM10.2 based LegacyXperia.

I had used CM11 LX, but due to its slow performance, I downgraded to CM10.2.

It seems many improvements are made to CM 11, and now I can choose CM 12 also.

If you compare CM 11 with CM 12.1 concerning battery life and performance, which is better?

For me, Lollipop experience is important, but battery life and performance if the priority.

I searched for that, and found some user complaining about much slower performance than CM 11, but it is not enough for me to conclude that CM 11 is better..

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my sk17i (mango).

I had been used "Nightly build 20150513 - cm-12.1" for a while and all works good. However in the last days the touchscreen stop to work after open hardware keyboard. To make it works again I had to reboot the phone and when I opened the keyboard again, touchscreen stopped to work. In one of this reboots the phone keep in bootloop with "LegacyXperia" logo, so I tried to install the new "Nightly build 20150606 - cm-12.1". I flashed the boot.img but the phone keep in bootloop.

I decided flashing phone to stock rom and it boot again, but the touchscreen didn't work. After testing different kernels and roms (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf, SK17i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic.ftf, CM11), finally with CM9.1 kernel and using "/format system, data, cache" the touchscreen worked. Then I installed "Nightly build 20150606 - cm-12.1", without "bootloop" problems, and touchscreen works good, but when I opened hardware keyboard the touchscreen stop to work again. I did all steps again and when I opened hardware keyboard the touchscreen stop to work again. Once more I did all steps, but after flash CM9.1 kernel and using "/format system, data, cache" the touchscreen didn't work like before.

Someone have some idea what is been happened?

Thanks in advance.

Back to Stock

Hi,

for now CM12.1 is too laggy compared to CM11, so I wanted to go back to it. Like written in the Wiki I first tried to flash Stock ROM with Flashtool. But this wasn't possible.

I always got following error message:

Error in processHeader : 31

Then I tried to exclude Kernel and got this error:

Error in processHeader : 22

After some time I got an idea:

I extracted "kernel.sin" and "system.sin" out of "MK16i_ 4.1.B.0.587.ftf" and flashed this two files in Fastboot Mode with Flashtool. After this I changed back to Flash Mode and flashed Stock ROM. This time without any trouble.

Please add these steps to your Wiki page, so everybody can safe this trouble.

How do I wipe ART/dalvik cache using Cyanogen Recovery?

I flashed the latest Xposed for 5.1.1 by romracer, and my ray won't boot, showing a face of cyanogen infinitely.

I tried flashing xposed-uninstaller.zip, and it booted again, after optimization.

I guess it is related to a remaining ART cache, but I can't find "Wipe ART/dalvik cache" item which was in CWM recovery.

I think that is a sotfware problem, because when I opened the phisycal keyboard, touchscreen stopped work and when I reboot the phone it worked again.

However it's possible that is a hardware problem, yes :S

New builds

Hi guys, after long time some new builds are coming.

I have included some improvements for LPA, you should be able to use it now to get rid of music stuttering.

You can test it by adding lpa.decode=true in build.prop. It is known that LPA breaks a2dp streaming, we are trying to fix it.

You might also notice that the headset volume is louder than usual and audio effects might distort the sound.

## Nightly build 20150723 - cm-12.1

* Latest cm12.1 changes

* Use upstream gp2a proximity sensor kernel driver (zeus)

* Fixed CVE-2015-5366

* Decreased zRAM size to 128MB

* Added support for DM9601 based USB ethernet

* Fixed mounting of non-FAT formatted SD cards

* Set FIOPS as default IO scheduler instead of ROW

* Updates & fixes for LPA

* Testing lowmemorykiller changes to improve zRAM OOM issues

Builds will roll for all devices tomorrow, after the cm-11.0 builds are up.

## Nightly build 20150723 - cm-12.1

I'm using the Nightly build 20150723 on a Mango (Sk17i) for the last couple of days now, and I have to tell you that it is by far the most usable release in the 12.1 line. Thank you mikeioannina for the new build, now I can use my Mini Pro again as a primary device! :)

The caller UI responsiveness is a littlebit slow, but it is bearable for me (max 2 seconds to start a call, and 2-3 seconds to wake the screen after the ringtone starts). I had some installation problems first, but I think it was because my f2fs data partition.

I was able to do the upgrade by formatting the system with the provided tool, deleting the cache, and flashing gapps without touching the data partition.

One thing I also noticed, is the faster battery drain with the same applications in use. I might do a full wipe and try it that way after I restore the app configs.

After partitioning sdcard using LXP cm 11 kernel (because cm12.1 doesnt have parted binaries)

After putting the sdcard to usb microsd reader and checking the status in minitool partition wizard, it shows Ext3 without flashing any rom.

By the way I'm using ext4 in my second sdcard (data) partition which is also quite full at the moment (not sure if relevant, does the installer uses the data partition for anything?). Also I double-checked the md5 of the zip file, after downloading and again after copying it to the sdcard.

No need to root if you want to install this ROM. Just unlock the bootloader and follow the install guide on the wiki.

I finally did it. There's so much conflicting information out there for the new user. For anyone with a Sony Xperia Active as of August 2015 who wants the unofficial CM12.1 (5.1.1) installed ...

1. unlock the bootloader using Sony's website. There's many other methods involving a wire but I'd only try that as last resort.

2. ensure the FlashTool supports the 2011 line up - the latest version doesn't. Flash boot.img

3. create a secondary ext4 partition on the sdcard. Note this means two partitions on the SD card, not one on the phone and one on SD. :)

4. use the up volume to get into recovery. Most websites say the down button which is wrong.

5. flash away.

I did away with the google apps and installed the few programs I use via adp. It's blisteringly fast with an EVO card. and very minimalist. Perfect IMHO.
