No. I unlocked my bootloader and I installed recoveries by dssmex when I was on stock before flashing aicp but after flashing I can't go into recovery also aicp ROM boots normally and can be used So can u pls give solution to this problem
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shavendum:
The recoveries by dssmex are for lbl ROMs. You need latest twrp by tomoms for lolllipop and m ROMs

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shavendum:
You don't need pc for that. Just use rashr flashtool v2.3(later versions don't work). Extract the twrp zip and flash the .img file using rashr.

Hi,

I'm running 22/11 build.this green box appears around icons. Randomly.. And if I hover my finger close to another icon it appears around it..

Have a look..https://www.4shared.com/photo/3YhHqmuRce/1_chrome.html

Can someone please let me know how to get rid of it..

PS: I clean flashed the build with helium 2.1

No ambient display for me ?

Hello people .

Two issues here.

I am running latest 1216 build but i can't use the ambient display when i pick up the phone, neither on the previous build, but i found out that when the phone is charging the ambient display work flawlessly when i pick it up :D .

Should i install the latest Test Features and Updates for this issue :confused:

And secondly i am running the default kernel of the latest AICP build.

Why should someone who seeks stability and decent battery back up install a kernel like Tangerine (which i read many do even if is discontinued) or latest helium ???

P.S.

No disrespect!

I'm just trying to figure out things reading tons of posts which no where/hardly any explain the basics obviously cause many thing those are granted :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanoidNemo:
For the kernel..tangerine it isn't discontinued..it is outdated because the development is stopped in favor of helium..so even if someone continue to use it itsn't suggested to do so..instead use helium if you want to change kernel
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisv6:
Thanks.

Understood that :good:

Why should someone who seeks stability and decent battery back up install a kernel like latest helium, what are the benefits ?

I understand how to install a kernel, but if i want to clean install an other kernel i do the same thing which i would do with Rom's (Wipe System, cache and dalvik.) and old kernel is gone ?:rolleyes:

Just Flash the Desired kernel and It's done, no wipes needed

There's nothing like "Clean Flashing a Kernel", Applies only for ROMs
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisv6:
Say it's done what if i am unhappy with it and i want back my previous kernel,which is the default kernel that is installed with the latest AICP rom ?

When i clean flash a rom, should the desired kernel first be flashed or the rom ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arvind7352:
You should Take A Kernel Backup via TWRP before Flashing other Kernel, If u aren't satisfied with the working of the New one, Restore the Stock Kernel and its Done

In the ROM Flashing Process, the Kernel (of the Respective ROM) Is Flashed at the End of Script Execution so no need of Flashing kernel before ROM Flashing....
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisv6:
Ah i see...., now start making sense !

1. If i flash Helium for example, and then wipe everything and install a new Rom, will i still have the same kernel ?

2. Same answer applies for the updates for the installed rom i install (without any wipe) ?

3. Is there any need to wipe anything before and after kernel installation ?

4. The updates of a custom Rom may fix something that is now working as it should with latest build, correct ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanoidNemo:
1. When you flash a new ROM you flash automatically the ROM kernel too so if you are for example using helium you have to reflash that after the ROM.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisv6:
1. Is there any need to wipe anything before or after kernel installation ?

2. The Test Features and Updates of a AICP may fix something that is now working as it should with latest build, cause i don't know if i really need them (and also have difficulties installing them) ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raienryu:
There is no need to wipe anything before or after installing a kernel.

Simply flash the kernel zip and reboot.

Also do not flash Adrian's addons zip on AICP. It's meant only for CM.

I remember getting this kind of glitch when I tried Z5's launcher . Please see if you get same with other launchers too.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisv6:
Thanks for the warning but too late, i did it and tasted the results myself, but i fixed it :cyclops:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
All new releases are meant to be flashed over previous build (or in other words, dirty flash).

Usually clean flash is instructed when usually a modification is made to the ROM that requires clean data, in which, rarely happens.

However users can do a clean flash if they prefer to do so.

When you took the AICP nandroid backup, did you use 2.8.5.0 twrp or 2.8.6.0 version present in the Fota kernel? Dunno if it will help but maybe you could try restoring it from the latter.

Also Tangerine 6.1 is out. Restore the nandroid backup, then flash the new Tangerine kernel and see if it fixes the boot loop issue.

i use online nandroid manager to make twrp type nandroid backup ..

it was like using aicp r3 + tangerine v6 at that time made a backup

then after all temasek testing i want to restore backup ..so i flashed twrp 2.8.5.0 from rashr ..went to recovery and tried to restore .. yea it restored in 481 seconds butwhen i reboot it results in bootloop

then i tried other way

flashed ftf 12.1.A.1.207 then flashed doomkernel v13 boot to recovery wiped everything again tried to restore and i when i boot it into the system it is booting with doomkernel v13 lol
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
the ambient is broken wait for the next build for the FIX :)

for xposed or i calling some users don't want this so the deve won't built it in cuz it will be a bloatware :p

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Of course it will boot with doomkernel if you installed doomkernel last, won't it? :p

Haven't used an online nandroid manager so can't comment on it but why don't you just flash the Fota kernel containing Twrp 2.8.6.0 and see if it helps you boot up. After restoring your backup, you'll have both recoveries now so try wiping cache & dalvik cache with Philz this time around. Also flash the latest Tangerine version if your backup contains v6.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
no ...it shouldn't be there if he did a FULL wipe...it's exactly like t-kernel(this example of t-kernel cuz you are on 5.1.x ROM :p ) ....flash a ROM with full wipe will the t-kernel still exist ? ;)

[MENTION=5450842]jangid[/MENTION] i had a problem with nandroid too and i couldn't to restore what was gone (first time i flashed a costume ROM) ...from that moment the only thing i use to have a full backup is titanium backup ....it won't let you down for sure :p

but good luck with restoring it if you can :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Yeah sorry my bad...didn't read thoroughly. If he's taken a complete backup, the Tangerine kernel should be there so it could mean that either something's going wrong restoring the kernel or it isn't there in the backup. Well that can be sorted by flashing the latest Tangerine via the recovery or fastboot if needed.

As awesome as Titanium backup is, if he's only taken a backup of user apps, then he's has to go through the time consuming process of setting up system apps the way he wants. Well if he's taken a complete backup via Titanium backup, then its much easier but I guess he hasn't hence the need to restore the nandroid backup.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jangid:
yea when you want your previous rom then nandroid backup is purely best you dont need to setup every setting in the rom !!

and when you switch roms then i prefer titanium

anyways thanks i do a fresh installion now but im facing a little annoying lag when you want your phone is ringing

if your phone is unlocked and you are using it and phone rings it vibrates but dialer not appears

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Depends what kind of tweaks you are looking for - performance or battery related ones?

A kind of balanced profile would be -

Cpu - 1728/1832 mhz

Cpu governor - smartassV2

Multicore power saving - enabled

Cpu Hotplug - Intelliplug (make sure you use either this or MPDecision and not both simultaneously)

Gpu - 400 mhz

Gpu governor - ondemand

I/0 scheduler - folks seem to favor 128kb instead of the default 256kb as the read ahead value but its your choice. You can crank it up much more but you need to know what you are doing.

For more battery life, you can drop the Cpu/Gpu clocks further and change the cpu governor to something like Conservative.

For performance, crank the clocks to max and change Cpu governor to Interactive/Ondemand and Gpu governor to Performance.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

No need to reset anything while flashing a kernel.

Just flash the kernel and then wipe cache and dalvik cache before booting up.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikko93:
i dont what happen...

i just follow these steps and my ROM is laggy..

Go to your build.prop. At the end add these lines

dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=everything

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=everything

Then Go To recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache (don't skip this step or it won't work!!!!)

basically it makes ART compile more stuff than just the usual apps. it optimises many things.

Downside of this is a slightly longer booting time (AICP Had This Before but has now been removed)

and this..

Open Kernel Adiutor

CPU Governor Set To Conservative (Explanation Later)

Open CPU Governor Tunables

Set values down_threshold = 50, freq_step = 8, up_threshold=70

Then go back, set multicore power saving to Enabled and set Apply On Boot at top

Go to CPU Hotplug and apply MPDecision and Apply On Boot

If heavy gamer skip this step else put GPU Governor to simple and Apply On Boot

Go To I/O Scheduler, there put Internal Scheduler fiops, External Scheduler bfq, external read ahead 256 kB and Apply On Boot

and every time i reboot my phone it always says ANDROID IS UPGRADING

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Maximum. If you changed your minimum to 1.8, your CPU would be running at full speed all the time. Same thing applies to the GPU.

If you are playing a graphics intensive game, set it to max. You can put it down to 200 when you aren't doing anything heavy duty. Makes different profiles and use them according to the load on your phone.

Huashan is the code name for Xperia SP so I am pretty sure that's a ROM for our phones though you can wait till someone who's flashed it can confirm if its working and if its better than the current build.
