[Sony Xperia L] Praveenpvsm:
Some Clarifications in Cynogenmod 12.1 Android 5.1.1

1st Attempt :

What i did is I flashed stock rom , then booted up in fastboot mode in flashtool and flashed kernal thunderzap 4.1 to get cwm recovery for jellybean....

Then wiped cache and dalvic, and wiped partition/factory reset.....

Then flash Cynogenmod 12.1 , gapps , and thunderzap 4.16 and booted up..... What i found is that everything works well expect wifi , wifi-hotspot, and some force close in settings....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd Attempt :

Flashed stock rom using flash tool in flash mode.... and kernal thunderzap 4.1 kernal in fastboot mode at same time without first boot..........

Then started the boot ..... then I found that even in stock rom WIFI isnt working .........

I came to understand if i flash Stock Rom and Thunderzap kernal both at the same time.... Wifi isnt working....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3rd Attempt:

Flashed stock rom using flash tool in flash mode..... booted once and wifi is fine..... then flashed thunderzap 4.1 kernal in fastboot mode ...... then wifi is working......... Then remembering that if i flash both ROM and Kernal at same time my wifi will not work......... I flashed Cynogenmod 12.1 and gapps from the SD Card through CMW Recovery wiping data/cache/dalvic/factory reset everything..........

Then WIFI is working in Cynogenmod ....

But then i am unable to flash kernal thunderzap because , Thunderzap 4.1 is available in boot.img..... .but thunderzap 4.16 for lolipop isnt available in boot.img.......

When i tried to Flash the thunderzap 4.16 through Cynogen Recovery ..... It says signature error and installation fails......

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Conclusions i made myself (Dont know if im correct)

1. Flashing both custom rom and thunderzap kernal results in wifi related errors, atlease one boot is needed after installing ROM.

2. Rooting Xperia L isnt permanent , Everytime i Install a custom Rom , I need to root again and again :( .... (Any Solution for this?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now i am in Cynogenmod 12.1 Android Lolipop 5.1.1 .............. 26/05/2015 Beta 3,

Facing some problems :

1. I am NOT ABLE TO ROOT MY PHONE

2. Themes aren't working

3. Taking too much time to charge

4. Flashlight in Notification is turning on, but it isnt turning off

5. When i installed this beta 3 and booted i saw Available space : 1.32 GB out of our 1.57 ......... After installing Gapps it gets to 1.02GB out of 1.57 GB .......... And when i started updating things in playstore............. a 30MB application is consuming around 100MB internal storage.... (Dont know what is happening, but when i am in stock rom , it was fine)

6. If i move apps to Internal Storage Memory, in stock rom it takes only a few seconds to show up after booting...... But here , if i move the apps to Internal Storage Memory... Even the whatsapp/chrome in the Navigation bar dosent show up for a few minutes untill everything is loaded up.

7. Cynogen Recovery isnt working to flash zips..... Signature failure ... and when wiping it says cannot open volume E:/..... persist/footer

Will be thankful for all the instructions, suggestions , and solutions!! ..... By the way, its a Beautiful Rom.
