Listen this build has no SIM detection issues whatsoever with Tangerine kernels so it should work for you unless there's something wrong going on at your end. Anything else you can add that might help you? You say it worked w/o Tangerine...you mean with the kernel that came with AICP?
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Tangerine 2.2 and the AICP-Kernel detect my SIM Card. So 3.0 and 3.4 don't detect it. I would be great if you can help me. But I think I can live with 2.2. Testing it now. I'll tell later if I am happy or not.
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Lol dude you are flashing kernels that aren't even in development yet nevermind released :p

We can only help you if you elaborate on your problem since no one in this thread has encountered SIM detection issues with Tangerine kernels and when I flashed the latest AICP build, I needed v3.0 just to get it to boot.

How about you bite the bullet and start from scratch again eh? Clean install - wipe everything, flash the ROM, flash compatible gapps and before booting up for the first time, flash either v3.0 or v3.4 and see if it doesn't fix your problem. If it still won't get detected, then I am afraid something else is going on with your SIM or some other setting on your phone.

You can always go back to your current state (AICP+v2.2) via a Philz/TWRP backup if your problem won't go away with a clean install.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
My SIM card works fine. I have already did clean installs before flashing Tangerine 2.2, 3.0 and 3.4. And sorry for my stupidness. I meant Version 3.0 instead of 5.0.

SIM card detection works:

Tangerine 2.2

AICP Kernel

Doesn't work:

Tangerine 3.0

Tangerine 3.4
[Xperia SP Android Development] loynaveen:
Tangerine 3.0 works! But for that you have to flash a v2.2 tangerine kernel dt works wit AICP when you first flash the ROM! Then aft dt u use kernel auditor n set the Maximum frequency to 1.7 o lower GHz! And apply on boot! Then you go into recovery n flash tangerine v3.0 n let d cell settle down n all should be fine! That's my experience on how I got v3.0 to work for me when I was using AICP! Hope this helps you out! :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Sorry, but I don't understand you. Can you please make a list? And 3.4 should work as well. And why should I flash 2.2 first and then 3.0? I'll try it tomorrow.

But is there a big difference between Tangerine 2.2 and 3.4?
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
No worries man, I was just kidding.

Have you tried any other ROMs to check if v3.0 and above is detecting your SIM? v3.4 is best used with CM and RR. Say either one of 'em detects your SIM then that will confirm that its not the newer Tangerine kernels alone that are the issue.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Haven't tried it yet, but can you list the steps you have posted above?
[Xperia SP Android Development] loynaveen:
Well here you go!

1. I assume your on the R4 build of AICP wit tangerine v2.2 working for you.

2. Now you go download the Kernel Auditor App from play store

3. Then you open the app n go to CPU

4. Then set a Maximum frequency of say, 1026 Hz and Set apply on boot( its on the same page top right corner )

5. And then download the tangerine v3.4 o v3.0

6 reboot device to recovery and flash the kernel you downloaded

7 and now the main part (jus let the cell settle down after the reboot ). Just don't fidget anything with it

Well this is the best I could tel you mate.

And for your quest why v2.2?

A: well I dono the exact reason! But I assume v3.0 and v3.4 are over clocked and so when they boot up the phone s unstable o over heated (not sure) and so the kernel auditor does the trick!

Well I'm not sure about this at all! All I noe s that this worked for me! Hope now at least you can make it! Cheers :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Quote the poster man or its difficult to understand who you are talking to. For a second there I thought you weren't getting what I was saying.

You don't need to flash 2.2 first or anything if you are using 3.4 since it already has a recovery. 2.2 is needed only if you don't have a recovery at all since I think it has one included with it. You can flash any other version via fastboot as long as you have a system to boot and can flash a recovery via Rashr.

Like I said 2.2 is rather old and there have been quite a versions between that and 3.4 but they have been removed from the main page cause maybe those 3 versions still listed there seem to work well with the ROM's they are supposed to work with.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
You told me to use the Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store, but the Kernel Adiutor is built in the settings of AICP. And thanks, I will try it later

Like I said above, my SIM card doesn't get detected after flashing the Tangerine kernel 3.4 and 3.0
[Xperia SP Android Development] mspeed162:
Willing to try out this rom, where is the link to download kernel and gapps?
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Go to page 1, there you can find the first post, with download links and other information.
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Yes I know that. My answer was regarding your question as to why 2.2 is needed before 3.4. It isn't needed unless you are starting from scratch and installing a different ROM to AICP or in a predicament like the one you find yourself in. Just a general answer.

Btw I don't remember you mentioning overheating or instability and I don't know why a oc'ed kernel would cause SIM detection issues so I have my doubts about the steps the guy above us listed but hey no harm in trying. Anything that works.
[Xperia SP Android Development] loynaveen:
The reason I actually told to under clock was cause I was doing a CLEAN install with v3.0 and I had reboots! But when I tried first wit v2.2 and then under clocked and tried v3.0 there were no issues totally! :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
Actually, you can use something push that button and wait for 3 vibrate, after that release the button immediately, then xsp will turn off
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
I don't have any issues with booting up. 3.0 and 3.4 work great. It's only a SIM card detection issue. Tangerine 2.2 works great.
[Xperia SP Android Development] hellrazr92:
AudioFX

audiofx crashes repeatedly after booting up. happened in both aicp_r4 and rrm3.

anyone else having these issues?
[Xperia SP Android Development] NagiSe7en:
Well u should Clear the app data and cache..

If problem still there..then u should clean wipe the data and flash the rom again.
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
It happend as I installed any sound mod (megabassbeats, extremebeats) or Viper. Just delete or freeze audiofx.

Note: when installing any soundmod or Viper in aicp-r4, it scrambles the audio in calls!
[Xperia SP Android Development] mspeed162:
In page 1 there is only link to download rom, i couldnt find the link t download gapps and tanger kernel.. Please help where i can find these two files..

Thanks

[Xperia SP Android Development] gustavobrgo:
I get off the phone (just press and hold wait vibrate 3 times), enter the mode flasmode but I can not run the rom stock by FlashTool.
[Xperia SP Android Development] mspeed162:
Thanks for the link to gapps. But where can i find the tangerline kernel?

EDIT: Thanks i found it :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Ok...didn't know that. Never having soft bricked my SP, I never needed to shut off the phone via the OFF button. Always used the power menu or the recovery option.

Good to know this. Thanks.
[Xperia SP Android Development] gustavobrgo:
Congrulations

thanks, later very very attempts. I got it!!! :d :d
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
You cannot run the stock ROM as in FlashTool isn't recognizing your phone or you aren't able to prepare the firmware via FlashTool?

If its the latter, you need to make sure you have put your firmware in the right directory. With the latest version, you need to put whatever you wanna flash in C:\Users\*username*\.flashTool\firmwares. Also no need to flash the entire firmware, just the kernel so that you can proceed with flashing AICP or any other ROM.

On the other hand, if your phone's not getting detected, you need to make sure that you have installed necessary drivers via FlashTool.

[Xperia SP Android Development] bhavin_sp:
there is error while flashing Tangerine Kernel...

Please give me a solution ..
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
If you don't tell us more about your problem, we can't help you. You need to say which build of AICP and which kernel you have.
[Xperia SP Android Development] rjoey:
Yes, Play Store was working fine for sometime, but it started to giving sign in error and other apps update errors. So I reverted back with the Backup. I have again performed a dirty flash with ROM+t-kernel 3.0 without GAPPS. Let is on test for one full day. All done, works perfectly no errors from GAPPS too. All is Well! Thanks guys and Dev for this wonderful ROM and your immense help when I face difficulty! :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] NagiSe7en:
Tried all the ROM's ...Finally Back to AICP.

Perfect ROM in terms of every aspect.

Love this ROM..:good:

Error!

Whenever i try to load a bootanimation,zip file

It always says error reading bootanimation

What is this thing?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
what do you mean by loading ,,,(you mean the change of boot-animation from the settings? )
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Trying to set custom bootanimation and keep saying error
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
i didn't try it ....and i prefer the old classic way man :D >>>you want to change it? do like this:

To install bootanimation with root explorer:

Always make backup before any change in case something go wrong

1. Backup default bootanimation.zip renaming it booanimation .bak (located in sytem/media)

2. Place my bootanimation.zip in system/media

3. Change permissions RW- R- R-

Restart and enjoy! :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
can you send me your bootanimation.zip ?

my default bootanimation is deleted,

I forgot backup.
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
always do a backup man :p ...here you go (it's not the original ..... it's a different bootanimation but it will work) :o

if you want the original one i will extract it for you and send it ;)

good luck my friend :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Thanks man,
[Xperia SP Android Development] nklive:
Hi all, I am new here and first of all I would like to thank the people who made this ROM and the people who are helping here in this thread and XDA. :D

So after many frustrating months with xperia SP, I decided to unlock, root and install AICP which I thought it was the best 5.1.1 ROM for me.

So let me describe what I did two weeks ago,

I unlocked the bootloader via Sony developers site, root via towelroot, installed XSP-lockeddualrecovery which is PhilZ Touch & CWM & TWRP,

then performed full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik,

and then installed ROM R4, minimal gapps for 5.1.x, tangerine kernel 3.2 and then wipe cache and dalvik, and finally rebooted the phone.

Everything went sweet and didn’t get any boot loops or black outs, whatsoever.

I have to say I am more than satisfied and happy with the ROM. Many thanks for your work and well done. :good::highfive::fingers-crossed::victory:

Just after two weeks of usage I have the following bugs I would to like to mention here which haven’t been reported yet (afaik).

Bluetooth: it is working but i can’t make it to connect automatically. I try to connect it to my car stereo but the car stereo gives me a pass code every time I try to bond phone with car stereo. It should reconnect automatically without any pass code (only the first time you have to put the pass code). It didn’t do it before lollipop, and it doesn’t do it with other phones (non-lollipop). I tried Bluetooth auto connect app and it did auto connect a couple of times but after a while stopped and I needed a new pass code. Now that is a problem because my car stereo remembers (keeps in memory) 6 Bluetooth connections but after the sixth time I need to debond the previous connections. It seems that my phone appears to the car stereo as a new phone every time I try to connect via Bluetooth. Can I anyone suggest something?:eek:

Leds are not working (cause of TK 3.2) but this is a reported bug I don’t mind actually, but there are a couple of times per week where, after exiting a game (any game) the status bar, drawer bar and notification bar disappear but I can launch a game or go to settings, or scroll the wallpaper. After a minute the bars will appear back again and everything is normal. It is not issue but still a bug.

Another issue: Sometimes a message appears like Trebuchet crashed or something.

Another issue is the alarm. It does goes off, but if I play a game I would not hear the alarm sound. Previously, the game will stop and the screen will change to the alarm app notifying me that the alarm went off. But now if I play a game (any game), I won’t be informed about the alarm and after exiting a game, a message will appear saying that the alarm went off (which I didn’t hear).

I am very sorry for my very long message but I wanted to reported everything that can be related to the bugs.

Now obviously a quick answer to my problems will be to flash TK 3.0 but do i need to full wipe and start over again (ROM, TK, gapps) or just wipe cache and dalvik and install just TK 3.0? (I would prefer the last one)

Thanks for reading
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
no need to wipe anything ...just reboot into recovery and flash v3.0 :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] nklive:
Flash thanks for your prompt reply, mate. I will try later today and will report my findings.

Helpe me!!! bootloop

Hello everyone,

I tried to install this rom with gapps, but the phone is in bootloop. I tried to reflash rom + gapps + tangerine kernel, but cyanogen recovery says gapps and tangerine kernel are corrupted (footer corrupted). How do I fix it? Thank you.
[Xperia SP Android Development] avi.singh9993:
is new AICP coming in few days or should i flash this.

i'm pretty sure i ready few pages back that it was delayed due to some problems.

currently on rrm3 but i feel aicp was more stable and responsive
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Since file verification is enabled by default in Cyanogen recovery, it won't let you flash anything custom. Its the reason people use CWM or TWRP.

Since you don't have a custom recovery, flash Tangerine kernel 3.4 which has Philz recovery via fastboot, then get into the recovery and flash ROM+gapps. Be sure to flash the same kernel again before booting up for the first time or you will have Cyanogen recovery again since the ROM flashes its kernel when you install it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
actually no words form the developer so nobody will know when it's going to be up to date .....i was on RRM3 ..i re-flashed the AICP R4 cuz it's much faster and more stable then RRM3 :)

good luck with choosing the best :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Yep I tried RRM3 myself and while it was a good ROM, AICP does feel more stable and responsive and its got a few more bells and whistles to boot.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dogueto:
hey, guys

I still can't post a new thread so i will post here. I'm using AICP + TK 3.4 and this is great but sometimes the phone start to freeze and lag a lot. i already wipe and re-flash all but it still continue happen and i'm not a hard user.

If i have to multitask, so the cpu process go to the top and sometimes the phone in idle the cpu is working too much alone. What it can be? i like too much the SP but it is letting me crazy.

i did record my screen showing the cpu process with CPUZ. if anyone can watch and give me some hope will be great.

Info

Just wanted to give you guys an update about the build.

I had Wi-Fi working in last night's build(about 7 hours ago) but the camera is broken. Mrcl1450 made a small change which might fix the camera so I'm buildin again (Another 7 hours for building and 1.5 hours for upload :( ) so even though camera isn't fixed, I'll upload the build in about 12 hours or worst case scenario, I'll upload last night's build ..... Hope everything turns out fine :)

Wi-Fi works only during second boot (reboot after the first boot.)

[Xperia SP Android Development] xperia_sp:
but you just told me that led will work on tangerine kernel v 3.0 :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] aydensaruni:
tangerine version 3.0 is the one compatible with AICP, if you want a well wotking led even without flashing tkernel you should try cm12.1, it's stable and fast only lacks customizability.

There is a trade-off in ever rom you pick, so it's you to decide.
