@warlock17

Just flash the zip in the recovery in the ROM (Philz in our case). You can access this by long holding the lock/unlock button, tap on reboot, then tap on recovery, then flash the zip, and reboot and you'll be ready to go!

As long as you forget how to flash or don't have these tools, I advise you to stick with stock firmware and wait till we get stable lolipop rom -without need to install any fixes- and please read more posts before installing any custom rom.

Here you can download the flashtool to flash kernel or stock rom ftf

Here's to the people PMing me about what gapps I use, and for the people which the gapps provided didn't work for, (flashing gapps from the OP gave me error:40)

NOTE: before you guys start a rant that I misguided you about the error, Not everybody has the error when flashing the gapps provided.

So here's an alternative:

1. Turn off phone and start FlashTool. Also extract the Tangerine Kernel .zip file; you'll see the .elf file you need later.

2. Press Vol+ button while inserting the USB cable. You'll see the blue light if your phone successfully booted into FastBoot.

3. Click the thunder-icon (the first icon from the left) and then click "Fastboot mode".

4. Browse to the .elf file from the first step and double-click. It'll flash and then you can unplug your phone and start it normally.

If I may..

The Gapps provided for CM12.1 here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads works too, since AICP uses CM base. Works like a charm for me after both the Pico and Nano Gapps packages' installation failed. ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] TheAvengingTITAN:
Good to know I'm not the only person having problems flashing the gapps from the op. The gapps I provided is minimalistic, just play store, play services and a few more things. Yours is the full package (correct me if I'm wrong).

method one: install lock-screen apps for lollipop that can change your lock screen wallpaper :p

method two: if you stock lock ...please try this app for changing the lock screen wallpaper :)

about t-kernel and leds .....simply flash 3.0 and to gain back the led modification and when ACIP is updated flash v3.4 :p

good luck :good:

no my friend ...it's wifi driver problem first .... second: AICP has a default kernel used with it not the t-kernel ....so i'm sure the developer tested it with the default kernel to make sure it is running 100% without further installation of other things :)

Everything was fine until start a error "process com.google.gapps stopped". This error was popup every time, so i decided flash ROM again and try the new tangerine v3.4 but when i try format data to clean my internal storage it gives me an error: "e:mount -o bind '/data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with ERROR=255".

i ignored it and then flash the ROM that install successfully but give me this error too and flashing kernel and gapps the same thing. i ignored it and reboot the phone that is working right now but i can't format internal storage and i don't know if it can be a problem in the future. Please anybody can answer this doubt?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
the data of system and apps or the data on the intenal storage (music/pics ...etc) what do you mean ?

and if you didn't clear them that is okay ....you did like a dirty flashing ...don't worry :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Ah finally I find what I have been looking for for the last couple of days. Thanks guys.

Even after trying many lockscreen apps, still think the stock one's the best but your lockscreen options with the ROM are limited to just the Themes options. Now I can eat the cake and have it too! :D

I gotta ask though - whatever happened to the good old method of just setting any pic you wanted as your lockscreen wallpaper?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
i don't know man ...but google in lollipop have deleted this thing :eek: ,,,and it was bad and evil !

glad you find what you want and really glad for (I have been looking for for the last couple of days) so you searched and didn't just ask :D

Idiotic thing to do removing such a simple feature. Just don't get it.

I can't imagine owning a vanilla phone. Got to work on my brother's Mini Pro the very next day he brought it and since then I have bricked, unbricked, unlocked, relocked, rooted and flashed a bunch of phones. Every phone in my household is rooted at the very least. Anything else is unacceptable :p

I'm assuming you're stuck with cyanogen recovery. That won't help you flash those apps. Go download Rashr apk from play store. Using rashr flash philz recovery image or twrp image and using that recovery flash those apps.

well i did this

waited for 2 hours to setup google accounts and when i start downloading apps phone restarts and bootloop.

i did clean install (wiped dalvik, system, cache, data, internal)

[MENTION=6255096]prangr8[/MENTION] hi ...i just want to say something :

i'm on RRM3 ..actually the ROM is fast but like i said AICP is still the best in the terms of performance ...but what got my attention is (games)...i know AICP is faster and more responsive maybe.... but in games RRM3 had made a pretty good job ....no single frame skipped and the games run well on it( like on aicp but on aicp some games suffered a little bit)...i did know that on the source code FURRY made some changes and optimizations ...i don't know what it is and i don't know what you can make and for sure i'm not asking for a thing .....but if you could possibly make the ROM faster by doing some optimizations that would be great :) .....just make the best and take your time my friend .....the majority waiting for AICP update i think :p and the update in sources for sure

good luck man :good:

Are you guys having that problem too? Is it a kernel issue, because it's not hardware...:confused:

Dirty Flash and Issues

I did a dirty flash and got everything working without loosing data, however I have errors popping up "Unfortunately, the process com.google.gapps has stopped working". Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Service -> Clear Cache and Delete Data, solved the issue.

The only issues is with Play Store app, it just wouldn't connect. Everytime I open it, I get "Check your connection and Try Again". Every other google apps are working fine. I can connect to internet effortlessly. Tried using only mobile data, no luck either.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Update: I tried to add an Google Account and it said the account already existing on the device. Tried to open Play Store app and bingo! It worked. Don't know how, but fixed!!!

[Xperia SP Android Development] :
I have flashed it, worked great. But when I browse or do other middle/high-performance tasks the phone freezes and sometimes reboots. But other that that, the ROM works great. Will this issue be fixed if I flash the Tangerine kernel?

If your phone vibrates in any way, then you still have chances. If really NOTHING vibrates or gets shown on your display, then your phone is bricked. Also try taking of the back-cover, pressing the OFF gap with a pen, holding volume-up and then connecting to your PC while you have the Flashtool open. If it then vibrates then your phone isn't bricked :good: :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] rjoey:
I think while performing dirty flash it's better to avoid flashing GAPPS. Any ideas?

On the move from my XSP
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Its actually seems unnecessary, doesn't it? I mean since you are dirty flashing, its not like your apps are going anywhere so flashing GAPPS again seems rather pointless right?

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

As someone above me suggested, you could try using a pen or a toothpick or something and press the OFF button at the back but every time I have ever used it, it has rebooted the phone, not switched it off. If there's a trick to switching off the phone via that button, I would love to know that myself.

Anyways to get into flashmode, your phone needs to be powered off but unfortunately, you can't do that via normal means since nothing's showing up on your screen. Worst case you might have to wait till your battery's dead and then use FlashTool to flash stock firmware or even just the kernel to get the phone running again. From there you can proceed with trying to flash a custom ROM again.
[Xperia SP Android Development] rjoey:
Yes, because all the errors that popup after flashing is related to Google Apps, so the new Gapps and the old Gapps are getting into conflict.

I'm have already restored TWRP backup due to errors. I'm going to dirty flash again without Gapps and post the progress. If you try before me, please update what you have done and the output.

On the move from my XSP
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Unless you have gone and downloaded a different GAPPS package, your old GAPPS and new GAPPS are the same package.

My ROM's the latest AICP build and my Philz backup is of the current build as well so can't help you there but do let me know how it goes.

Worst case scenario, you might have to restore just your apps via Titanium backup and go through the pain of customizing your ROM the way you want it. Sucks but its better than being error ridden.

Btw didn't you say your playstore issue went away? So why you reflashing?
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Flashed the Tangerine kernel, but the SIM-detection isn't working. Does somebody have a fix for that?
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Don't think there's a SIM fix as such. Latest AICP build (apart from LED notifications) works fine with the most recent Tangerine kernel i.e v3.4. Which one have you flashed?

Try a few versions and see if it helps. v3.0 is the last one with working LED notifications.

Also after rebooting, it takes a while for your SIM to be recognized...atleast that's how it works for me. Screen goes black for a second or two and then the SIM's recognized.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
I waited and then manually searched for the SIM. It did work without Tangerine. The issue occurred only after I flashed Tangerine 3.0. Now I'm trying 2.2. Is it safe/recommended to flash Tangerine 3.5?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
no one faced a problem like this before ...make sure your sim is inserted good ,,,if that didn't help please flash this t-kernel via recovery(twrp/philz) and let me know what will happen with you :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Sure when 3.5 is released it will probably be safe/recommended to flash I guess :p

3.4 on the other hand is working fine with the latest AICP build apart from LED. If you really need LED notifications, stick with 3.0 and no need to go as low as 2.2 unless there's a feature in there you can't do without.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Sorry I meant 3.4. I tried 2.2 and it worked, but I think it's quite old and the newer once have better performance. Currently trying the T-kernel that was shared by [MENTION=5651106]flash-[/MENTION]

#Also didn't work. So no SIM card detection, but everything else works... Now I have to stick with 2.2 or some other kernels. Without Tangerine the ROMs performance is horrible :(
