Low sound of what? I have not encountered low sound in neither of the betas.
[Sony Xperia L] Vinayakn73:
I moved from 12 to 12.1 and the sound (multimedia) was insanely low. So I had to patch file provided by other users through recovery.

I don't if this problem occur while fresh install.

my phone got 3 BSODs in 2 days of using Beta 2 with TZ4.15... anyone have the flashable zip for the stock kernel to see if it will clear the problem?

thanks before :D
[Sony Xperia L] KingShahJahan:
TZ 4.15 is known to causing BSODs. Flashing ROM will also flash the kernel. Flash to latest Stock > Then flash to 12.1 (do NOT flash TZ)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
just flash the rom without any wipes will override stock kernel (and may change modules back)
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Why flash stock TZ disappeared/stock reappeared when I flashed Beta 2 over Beta 1

Nope its not working on 12.1 beta 2. after flashing cm stucks on startup logo.
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
Beta 2 looks good

Clean installed Beta 2 (stock kernel, Gapps from here) and it's feeling pretty good.

The flashlight QS tile still doesn't work, but that's OK. HDR also doesn't work.

On a positive note, I was having issues with trusted places and now that seems to work fine.

All in all, this is very stable and I think it's really going in the right direction.

CM12.1 - beta 1 & 2 - Phone Crash

I got this anoying bug in CM12.1 beta 1 and 2; (both clean flashed)

When i connect my Phone to a windows pc (in my case a windows 8.1) and i want to copy over some music files to the Music folder on my Phone i get an error saying the connection with the Phone has been lost.

After a few minutes the Phone crashed (black screen and is busy creating a dump)

Tested with MTP mode, PTP and UMS mode

Does any one else has this isse?

For the rest... still testing :)

CyanogenMod 12.1 | taoshan | Beta 1

My first post!

Thanks for the great work you have done here, guys . Even with my English a little weak , it was possible to install CM12 on my device without major problems. The instructions are very simple.

The only thing I'm feeling difficulty is the use of memory that looks like it has increased considerably.

Sorry for my bad english.

here is the dump log
[Sony Xperia L] ersyadiaz:
been using beta 2 stock kernel for a few days, the battery drains a hell lot faster than beta 1 + tz4.15, also the wifi sometimes becomes "weak" that it disconnected from my router and detects nothing when i'm at some range (which never occurs when i'm in beta 1). if this wifi problem can be put into a log, please pm me how to. :)

other than that, the rom works almost perfect for me.

(but if you're planning to use this rom for playing games such as Tap Titans, well, i have a bad news for you :laugh::laugh: )

thank you so much, Varun. :D

PS: sorry for my english :p
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I hate to be the guy that say this but I need to speak the truth about this phone's community. The reason development is slow here, is because publicly, varun is the only developer working on these strangely unique bugs. The other so called "devs" who do nothing but compile roms, don't ever fix anything. Yeah sure they might throw in some rom specific fixes or two, but when it comes to some serious problems like these, varun's pretty much the only one that fixes them. Take a look at the years back, and you'll know I'm speaking the truth. Any freaking guy can compile a damn ROM. Doing that doesn't grant you a developer's status. People like [MENTION=4018158]DeviousFusion[/MENTION] are the ones who contributed, and deserved this respect, and status. Including [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] of course, him being the main developer for our device. The other so called "devs" only wait for varun to fix these bugs, and then merge them into their rom's source. And then there's the other bunch that compile a bunch of Roms, yet they STILL don't fix any major issues. If you're gonna compile a rom and call yourself the maintainer then for peet's sake maintain the ROM before compiling the next 100. (This message is not directed to varun) Of course I'm not forcing these so called devs to fix their bugs. They do fix them, only rom specific though, not the hardcore ones that requires more in depth knowledge. So now you see why development is so slow here. We can't blame varun for it, because he has his life and interests in other devices. Mind you, I'm gathering all this information from public sources only. So please, don't complain about bugs. If you do have any, just attach the logcat, along with a brief description of what happened, and how it can be reproduced. Anyways yeah, just my two cents.

Although they may not use this phone anymore (or use it as often as they used to) I'm sure [MENTION=5022682]Hnk1[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4795491]Joery360[/MENTION] would know what I'm talking about.

Edit: For those who wish to argue at my statement, come at me brah. I am only speaking the truth that's been revealed publicly. I'm no android developer but I sure am a programmer, so trust me. I know what things are like. I don't make strong statements about things I'm not too sure about
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
i think the main problem is that you cant read stacks like in java... its really hard to find those buggs in source....(btw im a programmer but roms are really hard to fix thats why i dont publish one)
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I know you're a programmer, and I wasn't directing this message to you. Those who read will know who they are. Wasn't directing this to David either. I've heard about what's happened in Syria, and this message was never directed to him anyway.
[Sony Xperia L] :
I think [MENTION=5422247]Joel16[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5022682]Hnk1[/MENTION] perfectly sums up the current situation with this device.

We got extremely lucky that Varun picked up this device and started developing for it. There are a lot of great developers for this device with a wide range of custom roms.

Developing on Android isn't easy, was never easy, and will never be easy in the future. Fixing bugs isn't easy because the linux kernel is something very complex. Finding the piece of code related to the issue takes much longer than actually fixing it.

But what about all the other (flagship) devices which have almost bug free roms?

First of all, the Xperia L is a low/mid range device. Look at all the Samsung devices, from the 120 devices, 20 have official CM, another 30 have unofficial CM based roms, and the other 70 sometimes don't even have their own xda device forum.

Sony needs to focus on less devices, like Motorola. The XL isn't very popular in Western markets. Sony needs to change that. They should focus more on getting their devices available worldwide, but unlike Samsung, they should focus on a few devices, and only 1 refresh per year.

TLDR: Enjoy what we have here, the developers work in their free time and they totally deserve your donation. If you want loads of stable custom roms, buy a Nexus.
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
Something about BSODs. I proudly bear the record of getting 4 BSODs in an hour.

But I have something, both for devs and users.

I did this, and I didn't get any BSOD in an hour, same conditions as before when I got 4 BSODs.

1. Made sure that ROM zip and gapps are present in my phone.

2. Reboot to recovery.

3. Philz touch recovery came up, I selected 'Clean to Install new ROM'.

4*. Cleared dalvik/ART cache.

5*. Cleared cache.

6. Flashed ROM.

7. Flashed Gapps.

8*. Cleared dalvik/cache.

9*. Cleared cache.

10. Reboot

ROM which I flashed - CM12.1 beta 1

* - Steps I don't follow generally while flashing.

For devs - Many suspect that its deep sleep causing the crash, but NO, it isn't the case. I can confirm it as I managed to keep my phone to not get into deep sleep while idle, and still BSOD. Also, if it is a kernel problem, then its the CAF kernel itself with the problem, not only TZ 4.15.

If clearing cache and art cache is 'key to success', then I fear its only a temporary fix. Because eventually cache will build up.
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Although this might work for you, but i would suggest it is just sort of your LUCK rather than the actual process. I agree that clean install means that new changes made to previous code is less likely to be broken and thus, without wipes you can have many problems which a clean wipe does not.

So if you are on CM12.0 , you can dirty flash any nightly of 12.0 and even 12.1. As the code is moving in forward directly and thus specifically changes the codes. However, flashing 12 over 12.1 would definitely break your rom as the changes are not directed towards a previous build.

The 8 and 9 steps many a times are contraindicated because many files are build up in cache/ART/dalvik depending on your ROM version before first installation. Thus if you clean in before hand, many changes made would not to be added and thus the ROM would behave a bit awkwardly which is mostly common of home brewed stock versions.

The problem which i am guessing is basically NOT seen in CM12 and TZ4.14 and thus, I think some new commit has broken down something in CM12.1 for our device tree and it is very hard to pin point what exactly for now.
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
Umm, actually, I got the idea of clearing cache and art cache from fb group, tried it out and its working for now. I know its too soon to conclude anything, but its definitely an improvement. I have already got too many BSODs earlier but nit getting now.

I won't call it luck however, it might be the actual problem (cache and art cache), or may be related to it. But its for sure that a new commit in the tree is causing this problem.
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
Got a BSOD while using Chrome on Betta 2, stock kernel.

What should I do about the crash dump? What kind of information is in there? Any accounts or user names?
[Sony Xperia L] DebuggingWarfare:
bsod is the main problem in cm12.1 beta 2 try to use tz 4.15 some users don't have bsod in tz 4.15 but many have bsod in tz 4.15 (and varun not recommend tz 4.15 in beta 2)

[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
How to make an apps(lets say, Fleksy) to be a system apps?
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:

[Sony Xperia L] cascabel:
Use a file manager (like es) and move/copy the apk to either system>app or system>priv-app and set the necessary permissions. Then reboot.
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:

[Sony Xperia L] Kahana82:
About BSOD's on latest version (beta2): had like 3-4 blue screens per day for a few days, then went into recovery and cleaned cache partition + did a Dalvik/ART wipe ... not a single BSOD ever since, rock stable.

This confirms what [MENTION=5822936]corphish[/MENTION] posted a little back.

ROM: cm-12.1-20150419-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan

Kernel: TZ-4.15
[Sony Xperia L] Oscarm99:
So after first boot, go into recovery and wipe cache fixes the problem?

PS I haven't come yet to cm12.1 because of bsods
[Sony Xperia L] Kahana82:
Maybe not directly after first boot.

I did first boot and then installed all apps and updates before doing the wipes in recovery.

(also there were a lot of reboots because of the BSOD's)

When looking at it, it seems like it is the data or cached data from some apps or services, that cause some trouble.

As I restored app data and settings with my account on first boot, maybe this is the issue.

Would this be solved by telling the setup wizard on first boot it is a new device (and in such not restoring anything) ?
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Do you suggest CM 12.1 Beta 2 for daily use ?
[Sony Xperia L] Vinayakn73:

[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:

[Sony Xperia L] cojocar.andrei:
I really hope someone will get to the bottom of this bsod thing. I understood that on cm12 this crash didn't exist. If this is true, can someone revert the changes in the kernel that were implemented for cm12.1 ?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
if it where thats easy someone would have done....(rofl)

its about new binaries have to be used for 5.1(cm12.1) and therefore cm12 kernel dont even work on cm12.1

How do I stop WhatsApp from saving media to my phone? Its so annoying.

Plus I've noticed once I've delete certain media from the phone I'm unable to view it in chat within WhatsApp!??

[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] AdiSimpson:
Disable the Auto Download Media Feature, then you must type manually on every Picture or Video to be downloaded.

When you delete the downloaded Media in a Chat it can't be shown anymore... I think that's not hard to understand.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gibbo82:
The funny thing is, is that I all ready have auto download media feature disabled, yet its still saving the media to my phone!??.

[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] Xandros97:
Yooo download whatsapp reborn, have the preview feature for video and images without download
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] CCody:
You must understand one thing first. WhatsApp do not store any media you or your conversation partner sent on any server (or thats what they want us to believe). Thats means every picture, voice message or video have to be stored somewhere on your phone for you to actually have access to them.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gibbo82:
I've tried downloading it, but when I try and open the apk it says "can not open" any ideas?? I'm on lollipop
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] Xandros97:
Download the version 1.80, backup the conversations in Official whattsapp, unistall it, and install reborn.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] zepelinhead:
This worked for me: download QuickPic from Play Store, hide the WhatsApp Images folder and then delete QuickPic.
