You

Stupid?

[MENTION=4126034]mikegapinski[/MENTION]

Speaking of partitions... 2011 Xperias are using mtd, right?

Some time ago we (htc explorer users) already had the same space problems with kitkat (it's not easy when you just have 240MB of system partition :silly:)

Anyway, developer decided to merge data and system partitions.... but that's another story. What I wanted to say is that I originally suggested to use UBIFS.

Why that ?

Because it's the only file system I know that both supports transparent compression and it's optimized for flash memories.

Indeed this can lead to saving space from minimum 30% (with lightest lzo compression) to 40% (with a bit more heavy zlib compression). This would be as if a 400 MB partition was instead big 570MB to 660 MB. Definitively enough for everything.

And as "side effect" disk speed should also increase (and possibly become even faster than F2FS)

In the end, the space problems could be just solved with a modified recovery (and TWRP would be already practically ready for this)

Do you think this could be feasible? Or are you out of time for a new "side project"?

I'm guessing the build isn't booting. You should not release un-bootable ROMs. As Mike said, its highly unstable for the moment (the reason he didn't).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] saqibkhan:
that's why they are called test builds.. plus its not for general users.. its for those advance users/devs who can help in fixing or booting the ROMS. some users cant build but yet can help in fixing or debugging roms. so its for them.

its been a long time Mike is fixing for all our devices alone.. its time we help him in fixing stuff as well. or atleast attempt too in our own way.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
Testbuilds at least should be bootable. Else they are not testable! Now end tis offtopic as this is not a cm13 thread.

Guys.. cuz we are facing Call delay issues in cm13 and cm14 .. and cm12 is slower for me on Xperia Play than this AOSP.. AOSP runs very smooth and faster.. can anyone build AOSP on latest source for Xperia 2011 series.. i would love to but i have minimal knowledge. i have the machine to build it though.. but limited knowledge. This was the best daily driver i had after KitKat but Camera doesnt work in KitKAt for Xperia Play !! and many softwares dont support older Android versions (some which i use atleast)

It is indeed faster than cm12 . Ive decided to use AOSP over cm12 . Even though I have to sacrifice some dev options , I want to use my phone as a daily device and it is my only phone .

As i Tested & Said Before :
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mikegapinski:
New build is going on buildbox now, should roll in 24h for all devices, meanwhile alpha1 downloads are inaccessible due to capacity limits of server

## Nightly/alpha2 build 20150316 - LegacyXperiaAOSP 5.0.2

* Fix CPU governor being always set to performance, makes battery drain lower - clean leftovers from CM's performance profiles

* Change the amount of background services from 4 back to 8

* Use HWUI_COMPILE_FOR_PERF and config_sf_limitedAlpha from AOSP for some extra performance

* LMK related changes in frameworks/base

* Add missing apns.xml

* Add CPU Voltage Control

* Add material Calendar app

* Testing updated yaffs2 kernel driver

Ideas

Hi, would it be possible to add the dictionaries for other languages like dutch? They were removed once in CM11, had a broken way to import them and are now even deleted from basketbuild. Now that space isn't an issue anymore...

Also, any opinion from the devs about JustArchi's -O3 compiler flags? I really noticed an overal improvement in system responsiveness from a fully -O3 compiled rom. Or isn't it worth it anymore with ART?

Also, would the build.prop config option as written in this post be set by default? It changes the ART runtime to interpret-only mode, making it work essentially as a dalvik emulator. This solves the ultra-slow first boot and speeds up all of the regular app installs, but basically ditches ART's supposed 'improvements' (although I didn't notice any slow-down or change in responsiveness when using options.)

EDIT: Upon installing the new alpha2 on my minipro, I had to perform a factory reset in order to get network working (gave me a no sim card error and phone app crashed). Everything is working fine after the wipe. So no complaints anyway, just saying.

Ext4 is better and faster that is why it is recomended. Ext 2 should also work but it is a little older type and slower

Is it possible to preserve data from CM11?

Idea is to update to CM12 and then to extract data backup to sd-ext partition via recovery?

Or restore data via recovery?

In which folder on secondary SDCard partition we need to put data files?

Does /data needs to go to root or /data of secondary partition?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] L3RAT:
Simply use any backup app from play store, they will do the job ;) I'm personally using mix of "Backup Your Mobile" for sms and contacts and "Titanium Backup" for apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] david7380:

I know I can use TB, but I don't want to....

If I managed to update my LG E975 from CM10.2 -> CM11 -> CM12 I'm sure it must be possible for LT18i...

I guess I will decompile boot.img to look how /data partition is mounted....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Toni Suwanto:
Wipe data / factory reset, will wipe /data - sd-ext(ext4)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amishxda:
What I did was copy /data/data (yes double time data) to SD card (tar.gz)

Then installed new rom (I installed CM12 but process will remain the same for AOSP)

Then I setup evertything FRESH.

For whichever app I thought I need old /data/data/ I did this:

1) Kill that app first

2) I unzipped it from tar.gz (to proper path)

3) changed user and group permissions to match new user and group for that app.

4) Restart the app so it sees new data.

I know its very manual but very easy and rapid if you are command line (via adb) fan.

Since its selective restore, you dont carry over lots of junk and plus you have fresh set of settings.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
In your trick all data of older apps restored on new ROM ?

are you copy the folder /data/data ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amishxda:
As I said I just copy data of selected apps. Not a complete copy of /data/data/

Just make sure to change user and group ownership of copied files.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Shouldn't tar.gz preserve permissions & ownerhips?

I will try to move whole data partition to secondary partition....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amishxda:
Yes tar.gz does --- but when you upgrade from old ROM to new ROM after formatting. The userids of apps change.

tar.gz will restore old userids and not new. Hence you need to change them to correct one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
But, if I extract whole data partition to sd-ext before first CM12 boot everything should be preserved....?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amishxda:
You can try. But I am not sure if its going to work.
