[Xperia SP General] flash-:
i saw a lot people having a lot of small problems i think when they try to move to 5.x !

so in this thread i'll be typing the problems that i saw ....and you can type your problems to help you with it and other members to share what they have got :)

1-p:i flashed latest tangerine kernel v2.3 but my base-band is gone....

fixed :laugh:

2-p:i flashed the x.x ROM and now i have cyanogen recovery ...and i can't flash tangerine kernel from it and i want(twrp-philz) :(

solution: don't worry just flash the tangerine.elf via fastboot on your phone and everything is good to go !! you can search for flashing via fastboot and if you can't understand i'm here to help :)

method2: thanks for [MENTION=5690812]OsGhaly[/MENTION] for uploading TWRP & PhilZ imgs .....just flash them with rasher if you want or any app that can do that to download them here (download philz from here )

p.s: try after you flash the ROM to flash the t-kernel so you don't get in this problem again ;)

3-p:i wanna try RRM2P and i want a transparent bar ( too old to flash this ROM ) :eek:

solution:method 1 thanks to [MENTION=4600968]Dark Passenger[/MENTION] there is a toggle in setting --> performance--> enable high end gfx reboot ......................method2: thanks to i don't how !! he give a line to add in build.prop ....how to add this line in build.prop? ,it's easy just install kernel auditor open it, swipe the screen to right, choose edit build.prop and type (persist.sys.force_highendgfx) this in the first line

and (true) in the second line and reboot and enjoy :D

4-p: i tried the RRM2 and when i exit from recovery and press install su i reboot and i still got no root access ( too old to flash this ROM ) :eek:

solution: just Google for latest su.zip for lollipop and flash it (i had this problem and it worked with flashing the su.zip) :silly:

5-p: you have touch issues ?

solution:you can try the "Glove Xperia" in case u have touch issues it's available on google play

6-p: i'm facing lagg in some apps after using the ROM for 2-3 days...what should i do?

solution:you can install greenify and greenify apps and system apps too this will help.....if your 5.1.1 support t-kernel(actually all of them support the t-kernel "just the dirty unicorns don's support it!!") you can flash the t-kernel and install app that can modify your cpu settings (like kernel auditor) and edit your cpu settings to get the best out of the phone and to put what suits you .

7-p:the sound on lollipop sound a little bit low what can i do :(

solution:just flash t-kernel ,,install kernel auditor,,open it,,,swipe the screen to the right,,choose the sound option and increase your speaker gain to (4-6) and you are good to go :D

method 2: flash viper4android i think for now all 5.1 ROMs are working with viper4android ;)

8-p: i have problem with voice in calls so what should i do?

solution: simply just try to flash the call fix from here and you're good to go(remember flash 5.1 fix for 5.1 ...5.0 fix for 5.0 ) :o

9-p: i don't have a root accesses after flashing the ROM :confused:

solution:go to settings>about phone>tap build number like 8-10 times>>go back to settings>> enter devs option >find the root accesses option and put it to apps and adb :)

10-p:my phone can't go in deep sleep ?!

disable play services location and wake up settings and see what are the apps causing this ...cuz it's absolutely an app action that is preventing phone from getting into deep sleep\try blocking apps that uses play services for location.....:cowboy:

11-p:the adway app is not working anymore

go to system/etc via root explorer....and delete all the files named(host.something) and only keep hosts...re-run the app and activate it and then reboot and you are good to go :fingers-crossed:

12-p: i can't put a lock screen wallpaper on 5.x ROMs?!

just download this app and you will have the ability to change it

13-p: phone laggs alot when taking a phone call on AICP ROM(you can try this on other 5.1 ROMs)

Turn on your heads up notify on and set time tot max.

GO:

-Settings

-AICP Extras

- Heads up notifications (Turn it on)

- and in Time Out set the max (never)

14-p:the FM transmitter have a small range without the headphones and i can't use the app when i plugged it in

Take your standard headphones or whatever you call it and plug it into the 3.5 mm jack halfway so that the phone doesn't recognize the headphones Then transmitter range will be better for sure

15-p: i don't know how to install the xposed on my phone (credits go to [MENTION=6255096]prangr8[/MENTION] )

Download xposed-sdk22-arm-2015.zip from

here!

16-p: my phone in a bootloop and in the recovery can't wipe anything and even if i flashed a ROM that didn't help ..recovery can't mount data and i'm stuck at that point

simply wipe everything (even if it says error) then flash this recoveries_SP_4.4.1_signed.zip - 10.62 MB (thanks to [MENTION=1262249]dssmex[/MENTION] ) via your recovery and then reboot It will say no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?

Still reboot. If it wants to install supersu let it install and then reboot and go to recovery and re-flash the ROM it will work,,,,(thanks to [MENTION=6255096]prangr8[/MENTION] )
