but same result. is there any solution ?

Have you tried Mardon's mini GApps?

backup and restore

Today I find an other way tobackup CM 12.1

I have running CM 12.1 on my smultron and I backup with clockworkmod recovery from CM 11 boot.img. after format system and many other flashes for exprement . and after those I restored it with CM 11 boot.img . after restore flash CM 12.1 boot.img and CM 12.1 rom, all data and apps are still and configured condition.only i have install fonts which is placed in system/fonts.

Smultron running LX CM 12.1. I have installed xposed-v84-sdk22-arm.zip under sdk 22 .works very well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cr0ne:
I have been using this for 6 months on a Neo V, with a class 10 Samsung EVO 16GB card and its very slow. Youtube stutters for 2 minutes before stabilizing, web browsers crash (especially chrome), phone hangs (can't even turn off monitor), boot takes ~3-5 minutes. The whole feeling is slow.

I'm about to downgrade, is there anything I could try before? Like light mode setting (kernel?) I don't know.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] utfluc:
Lollipop is the worst choice for our devices since it runs on an unoptimized runtime (ART). CM11 runs on classic runtime (Dalvik), and CM13 on an optimized ART. My recommendation would be for you to try CM13 as it performs beautifully (still has some minor bugs though). If you want to be on the safe side CM11 is the choice, but you will have to manage your app's storage manually (Link2SD)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cr0ne:
I am used with the link2sd situation from the past in case I'd go CM11. Your reply was very useful. I might give CM13 a shot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] utfluc:
Also try to keep Google services on system partition (integrate updates with Link2SD), it helps quite a bit in keeping original performance, and don't expect too much from apps like Chrome or Facebook, they are just too demanding and will present stutters.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cr0ne:
I just flashed factory rom and I'm like : O

I don't use facebook. I'll try CM13 and then CM11 if they both suck I will just let it go

[Xperia Arc Android Development] saqibkhan:
both AOSP and CM12.1 run faster without GAPPS .. AOSP runs even faster than cm12.1 on my Xperia play .. what is recommended ..

1. to run AOSP last build which was about July 2015 i believe.. with MicroG or not Gapps at all.. or

2. cm12.1 latest build without GAPPS. Feb 2016 build ??

cm 13 or 14 are out of question because of the call delay. specially more on Xperia Play than Xperia Arc i guess.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
CM12 is not supported anymore. If you don't want CM13, use CM11. I prefer CM over AOSP, it has more built-in functionality, but that's just my personal preference.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] saqibkhan:
camera for Xperia play doesnt work in cm11. it does on cm12 and above.. but evey ROM has its own set of problems..

i know not supported anymore.. cm is more functionality than AOSP but thats where the ROM lags too. AOSP is lighter than CM ROMS..

It seems that CyanogenMod 12.1 is on the way! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Yeah, I was surprised it went so easily as I was so far behind. I went from a pre pmem kernel , and it worked the first time. I have a Urushi.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

You could also use a boot CD with GParted. The one thing I have learnt is to leave a small amount of unpartritioned space at the front of the card. Before you wipe the card, look if the manufacturer has left this space. I have had a few 64GB Ultra SanDisk cards die on me because of this. Luckily they have a 10 year warranty :D Personally I use windows and prefer to use MiniTool :good:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DiamondJohn:
I flashed the latest CM12 build onto a Urishi and it was up and running (with an expired SIM) for a few days, and it was looking real good. However, I think my old Ray just finally died (physically not because of the ROM) :crying::crying::crying: I will pass on some things I noticed which may help others.

I was using a new SanDisk 8GB Ultra Class 10 UHS-1 card. I partitioned it with:

5GB Fat32 (primary)

2GB EXT4 (primary)

200MB Linux Swap

Using Windows mini partition tool.

I found the ROM pretty responsive and more than usable. Good work and congrats to the devs!:highfive:

I noticed on my early boots that it had auto-magically registered and was using my SD swap partition. I thought that maybe it would be faster without it, so I copied an init script onto the phone that turned off all swap, including compcache. Doing this made the phone laaaaaag. When I removed the script an d rebooted the Swap was back and the phone was much more responsive. Moral of the story: If you have lag, try adding a linux swap partition to your SD card. PS: It used up to 80% of the 200MB so maybe even larger... I didn't get a chance to mess with swappiness,

I also noticed, that I had to let the phone do its stuff for 15+ minutes and finish booting before using it. Trying beforehand made the phone appear more "laggy". This was on every boot, not just the first boot (another 15 if you can hold back on trying it)

I was still messing with it before it died, but I found I could get 6+ satellites on the GPS, but it would not lock. Changing the min accuracy to 0 and intermediate position to yes (ie 1) enabled a lock, but the reported accuracy (GPS Test app from market) was over 1K? as I said, I was still working on this when it died.

Oh, and for a dark theme, I really like "Euphoria Dark" from the market. It only appears to be missing themeing of the SMS app :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
You don't need to create any linux swap, the system_partition_format.zip will do it when u flash it after flashing cm12 kernel.

If u succeeded entering fastboot mode means ur phone doesn't died yet.

*] front LED holographic keyboard >> another dream in android
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DiamondJohn:
I did not flash that zip, I partitioned the card myself before I flashed the ROM.

Its more serious than that. The phone does not boot via the power button. If I plug it into the charger, it shows the Kernel logo (woo-hoo), then shows the empty battery logo (it has 20+% before i shut it down), and then goes black, and loops back to the Kernel logo etc etc etc... but that's OT and I will start a new thread maybe for ideas. PS: it ignores holding home button during boot (normally the method to get into recovery)

I probably will try flashing the standard FTF to see if it comes back to life. It was close to death previously as it would randomly go blind to the SIM card, and hence the new daily.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

well its looking worse, I cant get it into fastboot or flashboot mode. It ignores the computer and the computer ignores it

The ONLY thing that gets ANY response is plugging it into a power point charger. I thought at the very least the computer as a charge source, would do the same thing, but nothing. Its OK, its an unused phone, and will simply go back into storage.

disconnected the phone from the comp and entered to recovery mode>>format system,date wipe,cache

installed the cm12 then the gapps

booted the phone and bootloop

someone told me i gotta make 3/2 partitions on the sd card to make it work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bejunk:

yep. its about the SD card. all other steps are rite :good::good:

just downlaod ''MiniTool Partition Wizard''

fully format the SD (can do that in partition tool wizard)

in partion tool wizard now make 2nd partition EXT4 mounted as PRIMARY min 2 GB see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126363 (just dont do the SWAP partition its not needed, we have zRAM, its enough)

flash CM12 kernel if not allready

now in recovery again format system with dat system_format.zip & the other sh*t

You need a second

primary

partition. The first partition will be mounted as External Storage and the second will be mounted as /data

This second partition needs to be formatted as ext4. After the next round of official builds, you may also format as f2fs (not sure if latest official has f2fs support)
