Swapper helped my iyokan immensely with games and apps that had so-so performance back in the day - that is to say, they all ran, but they were maybe that extra 5% short of actually being truly playable or usable. There would have been a force stop here or a hitch there. You were able to get that 5-10% boost easily by using SD swap space for a bit more memory.

That being said, the lack of memory on iyokan makes the effect more pronounced than most phones. If you have a device with even the slightest bit of more memory, it probably won't have much of an effect. I'm pretty sure my old (and now abandoned) memory card is whack now thanks to it but it was a risk I was willing to take on an aging phone.

I probably wouldn't take that risk on a new SD card, though.

WLan Tethering crashes the mini?

I use the xperia smultron and the cm12.1 builds starting with cm-12.1-20150514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron up to the current Release cm-12.1-20150831-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron.

I have a little problem with WLAN tethering. it works fine and i am able to connect other devices. but if I finally turn off the access point on the mini the device freezes and reboots after a few seconds.

in the first builds this happened always when I tethered. i think beginning with cm-12.1-20150724-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron this happens just sometimes, not always.

How can I troubleshoot the cause? does somebody else has this Problem?

thanks, SirBiggle

because when i manually decompile and make changes i get bootloop and other way is installing xposed but even xposed is not working for us

then is there any way to disable signature verification of apps in the source code of android itself??

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Hi !

I'am trying to install CM12 on my Anzu (LT18i), but It cannot boot completely : there is no way to go further than the CID animation...

Here are the steps I followed :

- format an SD card with EXT4 (the default SD card is 1GB, but I have also tried with a 32 GB one)

- Use fastboot to flash the 'boot.img' file from the "cm-12-20150313-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip" file

- Use the "System-Formating-Tool_signed.zip" in the recovery to format the system

- Still in the recovery, launch a "Wipe data/factory reset", followed by a "Wipe Cache partition"

- and last, Install "cm-12-20150313-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip"

... and reboot.

Just to mention, there is no SIM card inside, and the previous OS was CM11 (last 2015 version)

So, what is the issue ??? The SD card partition ?

EDIT : I found : 2 partitions are necessary ^^
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] majk1:
I had same problem like you. Try to boot into recovery without SD card. If it works, you probably have bad formatted SD card. (I had this problem when I formatted under Windows, then I've tried under Ubuntu in GParted and everything works!)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
So I migrated to CM12 and I have reinstalled all APPS that I had in CM11.

I feel its little faster than CM11. (May be ART magic!)

Added advantage is that it has inbuilt privacy options just like XPrivacy - Xposed module. Hence I no more need expose as that was the only module I was using.

Everything works great. Here are few things missing though:

1) Auto screen brightness is not working correctly, Screen goes way too DIM. Currently using manual brightness.

2) 2G-3G toggle tile is missing in pulldown drawer

3) Hide dots on lockscreen - when unlocking. There is option to hide lockscreen pattern but CM11 also had option to hide DOTs

4) In CM11 you could use Camera button to pause/play a song that option is not there in CM12

5) When a song is playing and screen is locked then it does not show Play/Pause/Rewind/Forward buttons on Lock screen.

Not reporting bugs in bugreport as this is just first release.

Rest everything seems great. Thanks to [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frenziefrenz:
Actually this is a much bigger problem than I thought. exFAT might swallow large files, but I/O performance is apparently so abysmal while handling large files compared to ext4 that the no-4GB-limit advantage over FAT32 is nigh imaginary. And I was this close to a completely trouble-free upgrade. :)

It's probably primarily about random r/w performance, although I'm surprised to hear Sandisk is so much worse at it (note that e.g. Tested[1] claims they actually make some of the best cards). I also tried an old 4 GB class 4 I had lying around (possibly the one that came with the phone several years ago) and that too was adequate. It was only while doing stuff like flipping through pictures in the gallery that you really noticed the difference, which is I assume where sequential speed matters the most.

I suspect the size of your /data partition might also correlate negatively with performance. Perhaps someone might be able to corroborate or refute that notion?

Hi! The Xperia Ray can handle the 32 GB SamsungEVO card ? I followed the thread and many people reccomended the Samsung EVO. So i decided to buy one and my qestion is my phone not will be laggy with 32 gb or i should by 16 gb ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AndStuff:
About 12 hours in with CM12 on a mango device.

Everything seems ok overall, not noticing excessive battery drain, though that will take a little while longer to see!

My only concerns till now are stuff i think that are CM related, and not particular on our devices, like 2G/3G toggle, WLAN on/off though a simple quick setting toggle, extended desktop toggle, etc. Most of those things can be done through quick settings tiles, but they open the respective menus, and this is a bit of a delay.

I'll propably stay on CM12 for a few days just to check more stuff, and go back to CM11, mainly for convenience, as said before. I hope CM makes those stuff available at some point.

Mike and the rest of the devs have done a great job, dont get me wrong! I believe the aforementioned stuff are CM-related.

One thing that i would like to see implemented if possible, is hard backups through recovery, like we had on CWM recovery of previous LX roms.

CM12 installing problem - satsuma

Hi,

I have SD card with ext4 partition, created using MiniTool Partition Wizzard Free v.9.0 as Primary (second possible choice is "Logical"). Ext4 partition size is about 12 GB.

My instalation:

- load boot.img using fastboot

- format system partition using formating tool (installing it from sd card)

- format data, format cache (from mounts and storage menu option)

- install update package - instalation process continues a few minutes, than i'm receiving message:

detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcbkl0p2 (progress bar)

than:

E:Error in /storage/sdcard0/.../cm-12-20150314-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma.zip

Once rooted some financial apps don't work for security reasons.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frenziefrenz:
Why would it be laggy? Anyway, if you can live with 10-14 GB (remember, /data is on the SD card and thus not available for storage) you shouldn't waste your money on more.

In this cm12 build you have to enable root first in developer options (which you open up by clicking on the build number a bunch of times in about).

and how we can use this .md5sum file . plz share video if possible

also ..there is any solution for freeze and reboot and lagging issue after installation of app upto 1 GB...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] funkyjester:
Hello!

The .md5sum file contains a special code that has been calculated from the original cm-12.1-20150831-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron.zip file.

The .md5sum file is used only for making sure that you downloaded the .zip file without errors.

After you download the .zip, you need to run a program to calculate the special code of the downloaded file. You can use md5sum under Linux or one of many programs that exist under Windows (I use HashCheck).

If the special code you get after running the md5sum program is the same as the one that exists in the .md5sum file, it means that your .zip is exactly the same as the original, no download errors, and you can use it to install the ROM without fear.

Cheers!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] funkyjester:
You need to follow the instruction installations for Lollipop, they are on the Legacyxperia wiki.

You need to have a fast SD card, and prepare it properly.

To be honest, in your case I would stick with CM11 version of Legacyxperia.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] HybrisZero:
You don't have to follow the instructions precisely at the byte. The final result you should obtain is to have 2 primary partitions: the first FAT32, the second EXT4.

The EXT4 partition is where you will install the applications so make it big enough, i believe 4GB is too small for the purpose.

Since you have linux, use gparted, it's much easier to use.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] v6ak:
Note that the EVO card is TLC. (I also have one.) That means there are three bits per cell. This implies that all block sizes are divisible by three. Which is somehow cucumbersome, as standard aligning on 2^something will not work as expected. But I don't know a better solution.

Well… Enabling journal is safer, but it has some performance penalty when writing. Disabling journal might be OK for some non-critical data.

Note that there are two types of journal on ext4:

* metadata journal — I prefer it to have enabled on my phone. Without that, the whole filesystem might get corrupted after an accident (e.g. kernel crash, sudden battery removal, sudden battery discharge, …). It might be OK not to have journal on a cache partition, but even this might be controversial.

* data journal — I am not sure if any sane application can rely on this. So, I don't have data journal enabled. I assume data=ordered is enough.

The metadata journal is AFAIK enabled by default (so, you can disable it by some command). The data journal can be enabled/disabled in mount options.

(Enabling journal also somewhat increases flash memory wear, but I don't think it is significant with just metadata journal and not data journal.)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foresto:
The main reason for disabling the filesystem journal is to prevent excessive memory cell wear. I believe ext3 and ext4 journals reside in a ring buffer, meaning that the same bunch of logical sectors will be rewritten many, many times over the life of the filesystem as the journal is updated. Unless your SD card's controller has built-in wear leveling, all those writes to the same area will kill those memory cells long before the card would normally fail.

So, unless you want your card to die an early death, you should make sure it has built-in wear-leveling or keep the ext3/ext4 filesystem journal disabled.

If I remember correctly, SanDisk Extreme Pro cards do wear-leveling, so they would handle the ext4 journal safely. I don't know if Samsung EVO cards do wear-leveling or not.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] v6ak:
Good point. I can't find if the card (MB-MP32D/EU) has wear leveling. The 10-year warranty suggests so, but it is just my guess.

Hi dear developers

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yurasik_687:
If during flashing cable has been disconnected from the phone and now it's not turn on (red LED flashes and / or there is an exclamation mark instead of loading), do the following:

1. Remove the battery from the device.

2. Connect the unit to charge (without battery!).

3. Wait for the green LED, wait for about 10 minutes.

4. Remove the device from the charging and insert the battery.

5. Start the flashing firmware through flashtool again, because now you have "empty" phone.

Use flashtool ver. 0.9.18.5 or 6.

I bought the faster red evo+ (32gb) and cm12 isn't as smooth as cm11. Most of the time it's good enough, but occasionally it really isn't.
