Hey flash, 2 question about Aicp: First , My RAM never reaches 400 mb of free, I don 't know why. Second, which gapps should I download? Do I need to do a full wipe in order to install them or just clear dalvik and caché?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
hahaha what do you mean it reaches 400 mb ??? that is very good ...why are you upset about it ? :p

download the minimal gapps (just clear the cache and dalvick cache ) :)

where did you get the walkman app ? did you flashed the port ibanez7 ? if you did that then you can't just update (even if you didn't flash it it won't work from google play ) but read the OP carfully i have posted a link to working xperia apps (updated ones ) from there you can install the walkman(you have to not flash the port ibanez7 ) ;)
[Xperia SP General] Ainster:
yea im using ibanez7 ported walkman and i remember music works before latest walkman update even when im updated form play as I read need shut down signature checking to get fully working music from walkman as album from playstore works just perfect strange.

Flash it via recovery and then try installing the Music apk or just pushing it as a system app. The only thing that worked for me. Also if you've got the Z4 camera port installed, then let me tell you these app don't play well with it.

Hello to everyone, im currently using cm12.1 but when i access the recovery, i have cm recovery, i have stock kernel and i would like to keep it, but i want to change my recovery.

I have tried to flash it vía rashr but it didnt work, so theres anyone that could guide me to change my recovery please??
[Xperia SP General] somberchocks:
What's the error you are getting? Which recovery were you trying to flash?
[Xperia SP General] santigarcor:
I'm not getting any errors, i just flashed it via rashr and it says ok everything was flashed, now restart the phone or not but when y restart and try to enter the recovery, i enter CM recovery, i'm trying to flash philz
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
try to flash t-kernel via fastboot you will have twrp recovery :)
[Xperia SP General] somberchocks:
:p

If your still booting into CM recovery, it means something's up with your Fota kernel partition. Go to the tangerine thread, download the Fota kernel file and flash it via FlashTool. It will revert your Fota kernel partition to stock and then you can try reinstalling the recovery you want with Rashr.

I have a strange problem with my phone. Whenever i flash a new rom never ever they work properly after 1st boot. i mean i do a clean wipe each time but after booting i am unable to unlock my phone. It takes 2 to 3 tries to get the rom working. And there are times it doesnot unlock also . And the same problem is there if i try to reboot my phone if the rom starts to work. Can anyone tell me what may be the reason for this??
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
first by clean wipe you mean (system..data...cache..dalvick cache) right ?

what ROM are you using ? and what do you flash with the ROM when you flash it ? :)
[Xperia SP General] kpr2897:
Currently i am using unofficial cm12.1. And i don't flash anything with the rom. Just the rom and after 1st boot i cant unlock the phone. Using the key at the back a reboot and then flash the gapps. And you are correct about the clean wipe
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
that is very strange...if this happens too on AICP or xenonhd on temasek then there is a problem ...but if this thing didn't exist in the stock ROM then the best thing you can do is to start from scratch ....flash stock ftf then flash recoveries then flash a new ROM :)
[Xperia SP General] kpr2897:
No this thing didn't exist in the stock ROM nor on any kitkat ROM . Even in lollipop ROMs I don't have this problem with all of them . Cm12.1 and blisspop works fine for me .I face this problem only while flashing Aicp xenonhd ownrom I guess . Aicp seems not to work for me at all either on stock kernel or on tangerine . And that is very frustrating ):
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
then like i've said ..start from scratch :(
[Xperia SP General] kpr2897:
OK I'll try doing that but I have no idea how to do it . It would be very kind of you if you could help me on how to proceed . Thank You :)
[Xperia SP General] flash-:

Lately i screw up my phone so i had to flash ftf with flashtool. But my phone couldnt hold flashmode morenthan 10 seconds. And fastboot modus didnt work. Finaly i figure out that Emma (flashtool) from Sony could hold connection with phone. So i flashed the recommended stock ROM. And here we go again (towelroot, rashr for twrp and happy flashing :) )
[Xperia SP General] kpr2897:
I have been trying out all the latest ROMs that have been updated but have this common issue in all of them that is random reboots. I always do a full wipe using the latest twrp even the internal storage but then also I get these reboots . Also these reboots occur only when the phone is locked and is idle . Not using any xposed modules and use the stock kernel . Also I try not to install any apps only the stock ones just to check if apps are the cause but no . Please help me .
[Xperia SP General] OsGhaly:
Most of these ROMs are based on Cyanogen Mod builds that has freezes and hot reboot issues nowadays that will take sometime to be fixed .. So, be patient and wait until they fix this or flash an older and stable version (to some extent) of some ROMs like CM 16-8 or AICP 17-8
[Xperia SP General] kpr2897:
But I think I am the only one facing such reboots as no one else is complaining about such a problem on any of the ROM threads .
[Xperia SP General] iirisa:
[MENTION=5690812]OsGhaly[/MENTION]

Believe me, you're not the only one. I've tried several lollipop ROMs and experienced random reboots and even complete crash beyond point where my phone would be stuck in recovery mode and refuse to boot up the system. Ever since that I say no to lollipop. Currently I'm on stock based ROM. It's stable and quite smooth. It's possible to make it look like lollipop using xposed, if that's what you're after. On the other hand drain is massive compared to CM based ROMs. Lollipop is nice, but way too unpredictable to use it as a daily driver.
[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
I am also facing random reboots at times. But, i can still bear with problem. How severe is yours?
[Xperia SP General] OsGhaly:
If you tried CM 09/11 build + Adrian's add-ons you won't say that at all.. The ROM is so smooth now I'm using it for 3 days without single lag or reboot.. Although I'v installed all my favorite apps including v4a, xposed and Xperia camera & apps... etc. On start up the phone was optimising about 178 app[emoji4]

So, it's just a matter of time and we will have the perfect LP ROM so soon..

Our XSP hardware is capable to have more than LP (Moto G got LP running smoothly and it's hardware is not as good as our XSP).

Also it's not only about look, there's many apps don't support jellybean 4.3 anymore even some apps features like 360 videos on YouTube.. etc.
[Xperia SP General] iirisa:
You mean CM 12.1?
[Xperia SP General] OsGhaly:
Yes, the official Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightlies + Adrian's Addons
[Xperia SP General] iirisa:
I've been on CM nightlies for few days and still faced random reboot. But maybe things have changed since then. Thank you for the suggestion!
[Xperia SP General] kpr2897:
It's just random . I cannot say how severe it is because I may get 1 2 3 or even no reboots in a day .
[Xperia SP General] JekaDeka:
Hello, guys.

I am looking for smooth and performance ROM for browsing web and listen the music for my Xperia SP. Was trying every ROM but always facing some issues.

So this time i want to try AICP again and i have some questions:

1. Should I flash Tangarien kernel v10.2 ?

2. What are the best performance settings for kernel? (link from 1st post was deleted)

For battery life it would be great atleast 7h, mostly in sleeping mode. But main target is to navigate though my phone without freezing effect. Reboots and in-game performance doesn't bother me
[Xperia SP General] halloarno:
1 imo no

2 do nothing, but check if i/o schedulers are set tot bfq
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
imo the best is temaske for now (latest build ) :p

don't flash T-K ..just boot to the ROM and set in kernel adiutor the i/o to one of those (u can choose the best for u so u need to test them ) bfq/fiops/cfq ....:)

p.s : and yes ur right (i just noticed and was surprised that all my files on my cloud are wiped out !! )
[Xperia SP General] JekaDeka:
Flashed AICP last nightly build and set I/O to bfq, works better than i expected.

Will try temasek later.

Can it beat an iPhone 6 as in performance wise such as booting up and multitasking?

all ROMs should work with tangerine kernel ...but lately it made some problems ...u can try the v11.1 of the tangerine but first do a backup just in case ;)

Hey dude,

I tried flashing tangerine v11.1 through twrp and i couldn't access recovery and decided to boot through the slimlp rom i had installed and there was problem where i couldn't swipe up from the lockscreen and i tried hard reset back of the phone couple of times, still didn't work so flashed tangerine 7.1 i think since i couldn't find t-kernel v9.0 or v9.2. Tangerine 7.1 is flashed but when i boot up the rom the kernel version is still cyanogenomod instead of tangerine.

Question to all:

Do i have flash the kernel first then install the rom or is it the other where around?

Thanks Nandan
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
slimlp was dropped bu the deve cuz it's still in beta and it does have some bugs btw

for ur question it's obvious ..u need to flash the ROM first then the T-K kernel for sure ;)
[Xperia SP General] nandan21:
Would you recommend me a rom that is stable that works with t-kernel? I installed tangerine 9.2 so any rom i tried candy5 rom but it gets stuck at welcome screen when you choose your language and i also tried xenon hd rom same problem.

Thanks Nandan
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
t-kernel is known by it's deve that it's not that stable for some users and after some ROMs got updated to the new kernel i don't see the need for T-K ...in my opinion carbon ROM with stock kernel is the best :)

[Xperia SP General] somberchocks:
Cmremix works just fine with the latest tangerine kernel.
[Xperia SP General] nandan21:
Hi there,

Did you install previous versions of tangerine kernel to get it working? Did you just install the rom and gapps and past the welcome screen then get back in recovery and install tangerine v11.1?

Because on my xperia sp if i install the kernel i won't able to access recovery and also the touch decides to stop working.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabolic:
Hi all. I have an XT1097 that I have been trying unsuccessfully to network unlock. I have tried several unlock companies an all come back with the same 2 codes however they do not work. From what I can tell there doesn't appear to be a limit on the attempts. When I turn the phone on, it asks for the unlock code, but always comes back as unsuccessful. I have confirmed the IMEI a number of times so that is not the issue. I've heard there are a number of databases that the vendors can pull from. So far I have tried Cellunlocker.net, and Quickphoneunlock.com and another local person with no luck. I'm not a stranger to unlocking, but this is the first Motorola I have tried to do. Is there something quirky about them?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloan:
I realize this is an older thread, but it's possible someone changed the IMEI. I got an HTC One M7 from someone, it was locked to T-Mobile. I tried unlocking it, but was unsuccessful.

I realized the IMEI was different that the one on the box, so I had to jump through a lot of hoops before I could get it rooted (this particular version had issues with most of the methods, ended up having to pay for an app to root it)... once I got it rooted and had access to the system, I could then change the IMEI back to the original one and was able to use an unlock code.
