[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Apologies for uploading the wrong ROM to Androidfilehost, i have updated the link. I might be discontinuing alternative links from next release onwards in favour of OTA via RomHut.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrDeceiver:
oh okay i will download it and flash again :) thx for ur works this ROM is smoothest ROM i ever try
[Xperia SP Android Development] OsGhaly:
Flashed the last build twice with clean install formatting everything incl. internal storage .. But always facing hangs and redraws .. phone takes long time to respond and sometimes have to hard reset it .. Long delay (3-4 seconds) to be able to answer call or even making a call .. I wonder if anyone else face the same? and if there any solution please advice
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrDeceiver:
me too,currently use this ROM, smooth but sometimes when i open apps ,my phone freeze for 10-20 second then sometimes blackscreen and hangs, i do clean install too,but its ok i still use this ROM
[Xperia SP Android Development] OsGhaly:
So, I'm not the only one here ;) .. But for me it's not usable when I won't be able to answer/make calls or launch any app without waiting long time for phone to respond.

Actually this ROM has the best battery life due to "deep sleep" that I think also is the main reason behind these lags and redraws as the phone becomes so smooth when it's connected to the charger, except receiving calls still takes time to screen to switch on but it decreased to 2 seconds instead of 4 while recharging.

Edit: Forget to report about offline recharge bug ..

If you try to recharge offline, you only get a bright black screen and the screen stays on like that and won't get off

after that if you try to press the power button to switch the phone on again, it won't turn on and will not respond to anything until you hard reset it from the back button

[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
I am aware of the issue and I have notified Temasek. We will rollback to 5.1.1_r9 for next release due to stability.
[Xperia SP Android Development] masoudseven:

[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
Hi, just flashed v15.1, so far so good. Did the dark mode in settings disappear or has it been relocated and I can't find it?

Many thanks, keep up the great work!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
I have emphasized many times until I cannot even. I am not going to add any other features other than the ones Temasek has. So stop pestering me to add XXX or YYY addon, this ROM is for performance, stability. If it doesn't has the features you want, there's a wider variety for you to choose.
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
TRDS not available in v15.1 iirc, it came back in v15.8. You can try the v16.0, its as fast as v15.1 :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
On my way then, many thanks!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
Ok, just dirty flashed it for second time, first one was a disaster. Looks quick and nice, thanks!!!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
Scratch that unfortunately, it's being quite sluggish. At one point I tried going back to 15.1, but I keep getting ".com.android.phone has stopped" after boot..... This has happened twice, after first time I re-flashed 15.1 and again, same error. Eventually I returned to 16.0 but I am not happy. Perhaps I should try a clean install?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sibat Al Nistas:
Settings crashes after changing 'Other Sound" and "Advanced Sound" settings. Changed Settings saves though

Also Rom can't detect media on MicroSD.... I already tried cleaning Media Storage data, Cache, Dalvik Cache

All the problem mentioned above got fixed after re-flashing the rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Crashing is usual, just force close, I've been getting it as well, reflashing over again might fix, cos after boot too many processes are running so its crashing to perform other tasks. Just crash it, it will restart the process later on...

(Y)
[Xperia SP Android Development] masoudseven:
The latest version of rom is good but some times be crashed and when select a pic for lockscreen , the bottom of the screen is black and in messenger reply window , the contact name is a little up and don't showe completely the contact name!!!!

I love this rom!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] YasanFSHN:
Its he smoothest Rom i have ever used!

but i am having a problem! i have installed version 15.1, 15.8 and 16 (clean install) and now in the sound settings there is no sound for ringtone alarm and notifications also i only can set ringtone using the stock music player (Poweramp fails in setting the ringtone) :( i flashed cm12.1 ,AICP and all the tamasek versions i had! but all of them had the same problem (they didnt have it before) :eek: :confused: do you have any idea how can i fix this problem? :confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jadimo:
Go to system => apps => all => Media storage and clear data and cache then reboot and wait a bit. This helped me.

I have a question too - today my phone didn't wake up with the power button. Got it running by using the reset button,

I dirty flashed V16.0 over V15.8. Is this a common issue or should i make a clean instal ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
dirty flash works, if it doesn't boot just dirty flash over again, should work.
[Xperia SP Android Development] anisingh62:
Make it a fresh install of v16 since i was using it for 4days and didn't encounter any bugs even the high senstivity touch button didn't get offf but only i encountered was few lags which i completely agree that wud be gone after few updates in future cause boylush has reverted to r9 from r13 which was having performance issues!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] YasanFSHN:
I did! no difference! its not fixed :crying:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
What I would do is to usually unplug my micro sd, shut the device down, go to twrp, wipe the internal storage (everything is ticked) alternatively, just factory reset it through twrp with wipe data.

After that,plug ur sd card in and flash the rom and it should be fixed. If it isnt, either update or rollback your version of temasek
[Xperia SP Android Development] YasanFSHN:
ill do that asap but the part that i dont get is that why i have this problem in all roms now :/
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Probably just recovery problems. Safest way is to go back to stock and flash the rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
Well, I did a clean install of v16.0. Still didn't work well for me, I did a clean install of v15.1 and seems to work much better.
[Xperia SP Android Development] YasanFSHN:
yeah! i think its the only way! i guess i MUST do it with flashtools right? or just flash the stock zip?

im really sorry for spamming :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Yeap flashtool. I dont advise flashing with the Sony stock ROM zipz because it wont fix the recovery problem probably
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
'WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET' in CyanogenMod Recovery only Factory Resets, leaving ur OS and whatever u flashed through the recovery intact. So it just clears ur data and returns to stock condition.

Eg. If u flashed Temasek and GAPPS and SuperSU earlier on, 'FACTORY RESET' only deletes ur data, ur apps are still there.

Only way to FULL WIPE and leave no OS there is to use TWRP/Philz.
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
I figured out the only appropriate way is to create a new post incase no one sees this.

DO NOT FORMAT YOUR PARTITION TO F2FS AND FLASH TEMASEK YET.

F2FS Support for this ROM is only from v16.2 up, thank you.
[Xperia SP Android Development] YasanFSHN:
i flashed stock tft using flashtools! and yay the problem is gone :o

If you want System F2FS support, just hold on, I am trying to make it possible soon. Data and Cache is already supported.

[Xperia SP Android Development] TheAvengingTITAN:
The Phantom is here...

My review of this will be postponed because of well, finals. I'm slightly annoyed because I couldn't get to this in time and just noticed this thread existed lol.

Those of you who have tested this are welcome to post your experiences at the Lollipop hub.

My apologies for not making it to the party in time :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Imperial_Raj:
There is no need to apologize, seriously!

I'm pretty sure other users are brave enough to test a new ROM and post feedback. I myself would be trying it out, although after 19th, and give my review soon enough in the Lollipop Hub. :o
[Xperia SP Android Development] TheAvengingTITAN:
I just tried it right now

I think we have a new 1st place on the best ROMs list! Great work [MENTION=5273415]boylush[/MENTION]

Data works, haven't tested calls (I have no credit lol). Speed is a bit too good. Unique features stand out! A must try.
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
First impression is good. Fast and smooth.. I like the extra features, trds, appbar and more (although smart cover doesn't seem tot work).

Good job!
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Huh, now its alright...! No bug anymore.

Ignore:

I found 1 little bug: when appbar enabled the back button does not funtion (lights up, but no action)
[Xperia SP Android Development] jaretti:
Calls are working, at least for me. Smooth ROM, now to test battery life
[Xperia SP Android Development] incisi ker:
Great rom.thanks :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Hi please use the bug reporting function above (in Desktop mode) and describe how to get this error in detail. Thank you.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Wow - installed temasek and am impressed.

As snappy as CM 11 (latest nightly).

Don't think this is a bug as it also happens with CM11 latest: I can't use the headset 3 buttons to control the volume.

I could do this in Steve555 old nightlies for lock BL.

On another front, in my opinion, this should be stated in the OP (especially for those of us who are not used to the long boot up time, coming from locked BL)

a. During initial bootup, between Sony logo and bootanimation, there is a prolonged black screen - don't worry: your phone is not bricked. It takes around 1~2 minutes before the bootanimation kicks in

b. The bootanimation can take around 10 minutes. Don't worry: you have not entered a bootloop. This is the initial bootup of Temasek.

:D
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Ok- have managed to bind 2 of the buttons on the headset (vol up and down) - in generic_kl.

Third button appears to have same scancode as button 1, so I can't do anything with it.

gotta love the omniswitch :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Am impressed with battery life.

Used it for international tele-conference yesterday for 1 hour - battery went from 90% to 70%+. To me this is good.

Also, XSP didn't feel underpowered at all during multiple apps switching...with 7 apps in recent panels, I have 255MB free. All apps killed=405MB. Impressive!

A dislike (probably inherent CM12 issue): navigation ring (home button) - I never did like the middle button as it tends to get in the way (usually accidentally). Unfortunately the middle button cannot be disabled. The only option I have is to disable the nav ring altogether. No biggie.
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Navigation ring is installed with every gapps installation as far as im concerned... It's installed with the Google Now App
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
I know [MENTION=5273415]boylush[/MENTION] requested to inform the bugs through DevDb tab, but this one I think it requires a screenshot to be explained. When I enable TRDS, obviously the settings will turn completely black (I thought all the system apps would do it like the CarbonRom switch). But the point is, that when I turn on TRDS, and I try to send something the pop-up menu looks completely white. Check the screenshot to see what I mean.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Yup - test out with root explorer to send a file...got same white screen without words.

When I turned off TRDS, the wordings came back...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
Couple of days with the ROM. I broke the 5h On-screen barrier easily. I still have 14% left xD. And almost 12h of the device disconnected from AC charger. I'll send some screenies with further testing. Great ROM and customization.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
I have to agree with you - like this ROM a lot.

Smooth and snappy too. No problem with installation.

It harks back to my old days with symbian (battery bar, instead of icon), "system profile" rather than "quiet hours" :D

Well, I am only 4 days into it...
[Xperia SP Android Development] caesar13th:
what setting did you use for CPU, governor, and I/O?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
Nothing special. I just set the governor to SmartAssV2. I left everything else untouched ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Imtiaz369:
Root Problem

Say no root access....

Try to update binary by super su...it say failed

what should I do now
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
usually, system partition is read-only, maybe this is the reason

or is the rom doesn't support F2FS /system?
[Xperia SP Android Development] vvaklnprm:
Latest build is awesome! No stuttering or mini freezes unlike some of the last cm 12.1 unofficial builds
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
ROM supports on System, Xperia SP doesn't as of yet as i check is fstab.qcom file, only Cache and Data is enabled. I have contacted AdrianDC over this issue.

Temasek itself has the capability in v16.2 but the device specific stuff i'm not really sure, i'm in the process of clarifying.

Thank you.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Krawzer:
I already have the latest TWRP as recovery, to flash the rom (coming from XenomHD), can I already format to f2fs and flash the rom? or I have to flash the given kernel and flash the rom with cyanogenrecovery, aaand after that flash twrp again and format to f2fs?
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Better to follow the steps, or you can try ur step, if it doesn't work then use the one infront.
[Xperia SP Android Development] temasek:
If your device tree & kernel is capable of f2fs for both data & cache, see my below link for reference to add system for f2fs.

https://github.com/temasek/android_...mmit/581c49dfbb0526d5f1bb47ff8c43aea13781d6fc

Use as reference

Rom wise it is now capable of detecting existing system filesystem and format it accordingly.
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Thanks!

Next build, f2fs for system will be included, for those wanting to do a clean install just hold on! I'll update the instructions for installing with f2fs partition on /data /cache and /system according.

Hi !

In fact that is something I talked about with Marcelo just after we introduced F2FS.
At that moment, it seamed that the system couldn't handle it properly or that the result wouldn't be worth it.

If you want to try it, go ahead and let me know, it requires a fstab addition,
and a reinstall with FS format + reinstall. Clean install shouldn't be required.

Bye !
[Xperia SP Android Development] temasek:
Official cm build script cannot handle f2fs system partition because it's script cannot handle beyond ext4 filesystem.

Temasek build can.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
Hi, I am on v15.1 since v16 was behaving very poorly even after clean install. I noticed that battery light won't turn on when plugging the charger and also adaptive brightness seems to have a life of its own, considering I have it disabled.

Apart from that, runs much, much better on my device than v16.
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
v16 Battery light works, is ur LED working for notifications? Check in ur options if u have battery light unticked or customised to something that cannot be displayed.

As for adaptive brightness i'm not sure...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gorlomi:
LED is working for notifications and is on for battery charging.

Regarding adaptive brightness, it seems to be working regardless of being on or off. For example it goes briefly all the way up and back when switching between apps, or going to settings from one menu to another. It is quite disturbing.

edit: homescreen is staying very bright compared to other apps where brightness stays at the level I set it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] kpr2897:
I don't know but my phone reboots when it is kept idle for some time . I had the issue on v16.1 and now I am getting reboot on v16.2 . I clean installed the ROM . Also using stock kernel. Please help
[Xperia SP Android Development] DahakePL:
Rom works good and I haven't found any bugs on v16.2

Smooth and stable
[Xperia SP Android Development] vvaklnprm:
Actually I spoke too soon, getting random reboots with no apparent reason in different apps or while changing settings.. Phone seems to slow down and lag when I don't reboot in a day
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
If you use Facebook and its related apps, make sure multiwindow like Facebook Messenger's chat headers do not appear as they eat up a lot of memory in the background. Check what is eating RAM in ur apps before posting, if you installed too many apps or Google Play is eating ur RAM, Battery, Display, Life, I can't help you.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
Instead of Facebook, use Facebook Lite, it's official and works way better (+ includes Messenger).
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
That would be great, would be even better if you don't install Google Play and install alternative app stores as well (I can't mention which cos it might be violating XDA Rules). Google Play services somehow has priority over other apps sometimes so your RAM might be leaking from Google play. Also do set a shortcut to 'Apps' on your homescreen so you can go to the Task Manager and end useless Apps that are cached (when i never even used them at all?!) and those who are running back ground tasks.
[Xperia SP Android Development] prabhav.3892:
facing random reboots too on 16.2 stock kernel.

otherwise performance and battery is just superb.
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
f2fs partitions or standard? and how did u install the ROM and what apps did u install and a screenshot of what cached/running apps? Thanks!
[Xperia SP Android Development] prabhav.3892:
-f2fs-data,cache(but i have been using it from a long time on other roms so i guess this shouldn't be the issue)

-clean install

-same apps as on other Roms(fb,whatsapp,messenger,no heavy games or anything like that,i also use greenify so free ram is always around 200 mb.)
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
Shouldn't be an issue, try disabling greenify and do a full reboot, let it run for a few hours and then try running through all ur apps, closing each of them after use then to another app like how you normally use ur phone, let me know whether it improves.

im on jelly bean 4.3 (doom kernel v13)

through recovery twrp 2.8.7.0 i wiped system/data/cache

then power off and i flashed boot.img from the latest build

power it on when leds blinks or phone vibrates on pressing vol down key its still taking me to twrp recovery

i dont know what is wrong but why it is not taking me to cynogen recovery

i tried wiping with philiz also still it is taking me to cyanogen recovery
[Xperia SP Android Development] Phoenix854:
Why do u want to boot with cyanogen recovery?:confused: Just flash the ROM using TWRP:cowboy:
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Can i still opt to use the old filesystem instead of f2fs? Or is it really mandatory so as to make the rom usable? I don't want to format everything on my SP coz it's a tiresome for me. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] boylush:
You still can opt for ext4, its perfectly fine, just state whether u are using f2fs or ext4 when reporting the issue/bug here.

You can flash with TWRP or any other recovery.
