Hello,

finally I'm creating this thread where you can discuss about Tangerine, ask questions, post your problems... Without filling the development thread.

You don't know where to post something? This schema will help you.

Questions about the kernel (Does it have ****?) > here

Problems you faced, and/or their solutions > here

Things I should read/know > the development thread

Questions that can be answered by any user (not only by me) > here

Miscellaneous posts > here

In a nutshell, if you have to post something that I have to read, post it in the development thread, otherwise use this thread.

I will not read this thread at all.

Or maybe I'll check it every now and then ;)

Sorry for being a bit offtopic, but there is any other custom kernel for AICP 10, except Tangerine?

While I love the features of Tangerine and I praise the work of its author, unfortunately the kernel is pretty much useless for me due to its screen/device freezing bug.

Thank you.

Sorry to say but there is no kernel atm. Use stock kernel (for me it gives better battery life):cowboy:

I dunno what's wrong but cant install anything than 6.6 (non a1) and in that way I lost root...

ALL other versions wont works for me, gives me boot the system till temasek(I'm on ArchXperiaLP latest version) app opt and than reboot always(not on same app opt)after some app optinised like latest 7.2_a2 or gives me bootloops...

Any way to fix at least root with some package to flash from twrp?

PS I've flashed the kernel from cm recovery and also from twrp after flashing tangerine(recovery works well) and than flushed cache/dalvik....

You're right, stock kernel it's just fine, the only issue is that I can't install FauxSound. I need FauxSound for increasing calls volume, I have a friend I'm talking everyday and I can't hear a thing he's talking on the phone. I'm using Tangerine especially for FauxSound.

This is a long debated topic where most of us have reached the conclusion where double tap to wake should not be added. This is because the hardware on this phone doesn't support the feature and may cause severe battery drain or other major problems.

To install v8 can I flash AICP ROM + T Kernel at the same time or need to flash only the rom then reboot and flash T Kernel with Rashr?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanoidNemo:
Yes you can do it at the same time with twrp. I've done it that way and everything works correctly
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomoms:
I've never had a screen freeze, so it's hard for me to tell.

At the moment, Tangerine hasn't got any improved default setting. So flashing it and leaving it untouched doesn't improve the performance. However I'm working on a script that will set the best settings at boot!

It's normal that ater every reboot Disable HW overlay gets disabled. It's not a persistent setting.

Yes, it's a mistake. I'll readd it in v8.1 but you'll have to wait, beacuse I can't do development until next Monday.

Rashr is giving problems. Place your Philz img file in /sdcard, rename it to recovery.img, open a terminal on your phone and type:

su -c "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel"

Or, use an old version of Rashr.

it keeps not working

Hey guys!

So, to me it seems a big issue, but I hope my thing would be easy to you, I don't know that much. Here's what's happening:

I used CrystalPA before, then I decided to go for OwnROM 5.1. I performed a clean install thru CWM, but I flashed old gapps, so it bugged. Then I flashed the right gapps (delta gapps, 5.1). Still didn't worked, the home wasn't opening, so I flash the stock ROM so I could use my phone for a while. On wednesday, I rooted the stock, then flashed the ROM again, this time with outdated tangerines (they seemed to have less bugs to me - reports that on v5.0 the wifi was working, and that's pretty much all I need). This time the ROM booted and I could play with it, but the wifi switch still doesn't turn on. I flashed every tangerine I could find, from 6 to 7.2, with twrp and cwm. Nothing. Than this guy told me today to flash it all over again, this time rebooting between ROM and gapps. I did. Clean - install ROM - reboot - install gapps - reboot - flash stock kernel - reboot (soft brick, bootloop) - flash t8 - reboot. Everything works beautifully and smoth, but with no wifi it's useless to me. Any ideas??? Do I need to flash another kernel, or another ROM?

And I already flashed the tangerine again with twrp, still nothing.

Tangerine v8 lagging

Hi Tommoms

I flashed ur latest tangerine on AICP v10 (13/8) but i have many lags. entire phone stops working for 2, 3 seconds and works again. some times completely hangs and reboot itselfand i had exprienced data loosing after one of them.

I tried ondemandplus and intelliactieve governor but problem still exist.

currently flashed stock kernel to check if its a ROM problem.

If this is a known problem please help me

Lots of Thanks.

Update: Now using stock kernel and after 12Hrs no lags and hangs at all. I hope u will fix it soon.

If u flashed tangerine using Fastboot u will have this problem. u have to flash tangerine kernel again using recovery. u can flash using fastboot to give recovery then go into recovery and flash zip file. now it works.

[MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION], just a little question: the new installation method is only for the v8? I mean..I have flash the v8 with the new method, when v8.1 came out I have to use it again (reflash ROM and then v8.1) or I can only flash kernel from now on?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuxedo75:
Yes I read that...but also that way wasnt so userfriendly imho...better to have a completely automated procedure imho...if someone wants to try digferent kernels was really a mess everytime uninstall/reinstall old kernel and install again tangerine over...just my two cents...

Inviato dal mio C2105 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomoms:
If you have v8, when v8.1 will come out you'll simply have to flash it on top of v8, stock kernel is only required if you're installing v8 or later for the first time (coming from v7 or v6).

AnyKernel is a very good installation method, it avoids conflicts, bugs, and the existence of many alternate versions. Flashing stock kernel is only required once (that is, when you upgrade from v6 or v7 to v8).
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuxedo75:
Ok thats nice! That way was enough user friendly [emoji6]

To me remains the problems I mentioned in official thread installing tangerine however...really dunno why gets so many troubles...never gets with any other installation...any idea?

yes the only recovery that can be used with the latest Tangerine is the TWRP. Also as a side note, please stick with 17/08 build of AICP. The newer versions has known problems of causing severe lags.

I am also aware of that problem. I also faced it too. I will mention [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] now so that he could read your problem. As a side note, when that happens, you can unplug your SP and then use the reboot yellow button located at the back of the SP :)

You will need to flash the ROM zip then the 8.0.

Flashing the ROM zip will flash the AICP kernel. Then the flashing of T8 will edit the ramdisk and replaces the kernel with Tangerine

Been using tangerine a few weeks now and was blown away initially by performance, but this seemed to tail off over time, while updating CM12 nightlies.

Update procedure was: boot into recovery, flash nightly, flash kernel, reboot.

After doing a full wipe including formatting system, I found performance possibly better than ever on latest nightly, even without tangerine. So what I'm wondering is, what is the safest way to update the rom while using tangerine (without wiping data)?
