[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Thresher:
I have been running the 950 for about a week now. I was running Fast Ring Win 10 Mob on a 1020. Impressions compared to the 1020: Faster, fewer app crashes (although Messaging app still crashes on occasion), fewer wonky bugs like the keyboard not allowing typing when composing a text message (why this is related to hardware vs the OS version is beyond my small peanut brain). So far the camera has been good but the Lumia 1020 I had was not capable of far focus (huge known bug) so I am just happy it comes up fast and focuses.

I have not tried miracast as I have no capable TV or adaptor. Continuum dock was not available, but as I have been reading Continuum is NOT what I thought it would be. I want what I had on WinMo6.5 or any Android device, full control with mouse and keyboard of my phone from a Desktop or Laptop. I honestly am so confused why this function was retarded going to WP7/8/8/1 and now we are bridled with a dock or really specific software/hardware when this was an out of the box, easy to do thing so many years ago.

Here are the items I keep reading in reviews that seem to be irrelevant to me:

1. Some hate the build quality, calling it cheap. To me, feels like everything else out there with maybe an exception of the iphone 6, but I will premise that buy saying when you have a $600 phone I will be putting on gel or otter case with a Boxwave screen protector anyway, by the time all that happens, the build quality is somewhat irrelevant to me.

2. Back cover feels plastiky. I don't care about this.

3. Camera app is slow. (Not to me, feels fast, often having taken pictures on the way out of my pocket.)

4. Edge Mobile is simply not allowed on certain websites like Quickbooks Online, the UA keeps getting flagged and I can't login. Using UC Browser and changing the UA does work and the functions work for the most part, scaling is the only other problem.

5. No reviews on one hand mode. Let me give you mine, it needs refinement. It only takes the top of the screen and moves it down by half, which on this OS makes things hard to navigate but manageable. It should also Squeeze the screen to be more narrow, my average size hands can't reach the top of farthest side of the phone, so I basically don't use the mode. Luckily I am sure this will be refined.

Here are items that reviewers do not talk about that we need the community to bolster:

1. How continuum handles texting, phone calls, apps not specific to it. (Found this out, very poorly, such a stupid "feature" just want remote ability from my PC, not hard to ask for.

2. 3rd party USB-C docks that will work with continuum (some $35 amazon ones out there)

3. If a USB-C to HDMI chord will deliver Continuum function without the dock, power, usbs.

Im getting my 950XL maybe on thursday or friday.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] reksden:
have you firmware on lumia 950/950xl?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] webhost:
Re: Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL

I have worked with both models. 950 XL is a bit bigger and has a slightly faster processor and a marginally bigger battery, but in most areas – notably RAM, camera, and overall features – these two Lumias are the same.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] zimilaci:
I just got my XL :) coming from Android (and before IOS) I have to admit, Win 10 is not bad at all :)
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] KeesStolk:
Totally agree, i think ms is making a come back.

I do think the firmware isn't just ready yet, hopefully a update is coming soon.

I do mis some stuff, like a simple setting to put a battery icoon with % sign or a better app support.

But it's fun and i do think in time MS WP will grow.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] robinVerdegaal:
I like wireless Continuum very much, using the Microsoft Wireless display adapter. But I don't get sound. Does anybody know if that's a configuration issue or a shortcoming of the MS dongle? I can't seem to find the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter app that the dongle refers to for additional settings.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Crackeds:
Anyone an idea how to pair the Phone with windows 10 pc? I`m getting an bootstrapping Error....Code=8. What does this mean? Please help me, thx...:)
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] NLS:
What kind of pairing?

Do you have Windows 10 1511?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Crackeds:
I tried to send apk to the lumia, but now i read, project astoria doesn`t work anymore....
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] olarf:
Got mine today ☺ so far Im happy with everything but I found one crazy bug. The phone is now locked by pin and irisscan and this work great but if you press the camera button when the phone is locked, the camera app opens and the with the back button you end in the unlocked phone ? I expect it jumps back to locksreen.

Update: I figure out that it behave right after the 15 min I set for not asking for reentering the Pin. So the Bug is more that the iris scanner scan always and not also wait this 15 minutes. Would be smart and save energie. But ok, helo is beta so there is room for improovments.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] NZT-48:
Has anyone benchmarked the Lumia 950 XL?? I want to see how the liquid-cooling system helps the SoC (Qualcomm Snapdragon 810) since phones released earlier in the year had overheating and/or throttling issues with the same SoC (i.e. LG G Flex 2).
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] LenAsh:
For both phones, MS have pushed out a fairly significant OTA FIRMWARE update - don't get those often...

Details here.... Windows Central
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] KeesStolk:
Yesterday i installed the insider app and got . 36 firmware.

So far it's looking good.

Only 2 apps i am missing, WD cloud (wd2go giving network error) and Tapatalk on android have better futures.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] badrello:
Looking for it too

I am LOST as you said in 950XL after Android 5 on NOte 3

Awaiting eagerly to have my beloved Andoid APKs on Win10
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] cosp79:
Updated the 950 and 735 to .63 today and battery seems better. Also, on 950 the automatic brightness is working now.

Outlook syncs very slowly and some of the notifications for it don't appear.

Anyway, Microsoft is doing a great job at quickly updating W10 so my hopes are high that our Lumias will be better and better.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] boe323:
Sorry to burst your bubble guys .....Microsoft conned the pants of us all lolz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmU1yWulKYs .....NO LIQUID ??? Its just a classic heat pipe, you cant state that it has liquid cooling, should be heat sink.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] dxdy:
stupid video because liquid cooling dont have anything with liquid or water... google for example "surface liquid cooling" and see what is in reality is liquid cooling

please do not embarrass yourself posting this video....
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] boe323:
Just fully converted my Lumia 950 into a sim free generic retail model ...product code aswell. Windows device recovery tool sees it as generic and downloads the generic files and flashes them successfully ....buzzin!!
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] dxdy:
new firmware 16236.350xx available for 950/950XL via Windows Device Recovery Tool

double tap for wake now is available (look in touch settings)!

battery life is improved!
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Seansation:
Hi,

I'm new here. I wanna now if there is an opportunity to flash stock android (5.1 or higher) or cyanogenmod on the Lumia 950 XL?

Thank you :D
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] dxdy:
what a blasphemy.... if you want android phone

BUY ANDROID PHONE!

...

not possible...
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Seansation:
Just wanna ask. Your answer is ****, not helpful and completely dumb. I just ask for an information and you gave me a piece of nothing. I thought this is a board for developers and experiments and not for "if you want an android phone, buy an android phone" -_-.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] dxdy:
what in "not possible" you dont understand? not possible, end of story... Windows phone (mobile) devices not like "swiss cheese" full of holes android devices to allow hacks and modifications.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Seansation:
I think you don't understand. I believe that's not possible okay, but instead of answering my question normal you write things like "if you want android buy android" that's the thing what I mean.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] garak0410:
As anyone on XDA found a way to make this phone work on Verizon?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] PsychoFox13:
It will never work on Verizon. Neither Verizon nor Microsoft will allow it. Plus, the phone is GSM only. It does not contain CDMA radios. Even the unlocked 950/XL will not work with Verizon or Sprint, let alone any CDMA carrier.

Sorry. :(
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] hooooossamq:

Mine goes for:

NAVMII GPS WORLD (NAVFREE) (£FREE)

You shouldn't need much encouragement to proudly display your M9's brushed-aluminum body, but Navmii (formally Navfree) gives you a great excuse to mount it on your dashboard for passing drivers to enviously ogle.

Completely free and with real-time traffic updates, re-routing and offline maps, as well as Street View integration, all of which display clearly on the HTC's 5in screen, this nav app should get you where you need to be. Just try not to blind passers-by with that shiny bezel.

So you don't have simlock. Try to flash ROM for your model but for another market. Should help

i want to use use an app that requires an encrypted phone. the reason is OK but i would rather not encrypt my phone.

is there something like root cloak or no device check that will make a specific app think the phone IS encrypted.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolwatpear:
Can it do 1080p60fps and what is the latency?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethjohnson:
Hi! I'd love to help.

It can run at any resolution, but the latency is consistently between 50 and 75 ms for me on the 2015 FireTV on a wired connection.

(All the latency is on the video side. There is no latency sending input to the host.)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolwatpear:
Thanks, but I bought it and tried it by now. Had to return it for another reason, but I can't play without sub 10ms.

F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference between these builds and the official builds?

These are

unofficial

builds of CyanogenMod 12.1 for the Xperia SP

ROM is built using the same source code (github) like the official one but with these following additions:

Compiled using sabermod arm-eabi 4.9.4 (kernel code) & sabermod arm-linux-androideabi 4.9.4 (rom code) toolchain compilers

May contain some custom cherry-picks. Always see changelog for details.

Cross-compiled using those custom toolchains results in a more smoother, faster, and battery friendly ROM

What is Toolchain?

Source: http://elinux.org

What is SaberMod?

The term "SaberMod" is coming from:

[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Wow, flashed the ROM and its supersmooth! Realy verry impressive.
[Xperia SP Android Development] vvaklnprm:
I am confused between the two threads, the other one is Beta, what about the builds in this thread? Are both the same?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
these are build based on CM12.1 code for huashan, but optimized and compiled with sabermod toolchain, so lets say if the status of officials are nightly builds, these are are also.

the other thread applies the same. SlimRoms releases are currently on beta 0.9, so the sabermod build is also on beta 0.9

hope ive explained me well for you to understand the differences.

[Xperia SP Android Development] sid_salvi:
its works with c5302

:confused::confused:its only for c5303..?
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
probably.. aint there patch to use CM12.1 c5303, on the c5203 ? we had those on yuga, sirius, and leo.

try it. the worse it can happens is you not having network.

regards.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sid_salvi:
which one is latest one build in download section? there are two versions of same build date
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
there are always two files in each release..

look at the size of each. one is the build zip for you to flash, and the other is the md5 checksum for you to verify if your download is not corrupt.

regards.

[Xperia SP Android Development] anisingh62:
Can i flash only addon multi gapps of 60mb size after flashing ur rom??

Or i have to flash zero gapps also??

Or inly the multidpi one and i really don't know do our roms are of multi dpi??
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Is someone succesfull in flashing xposed?

Edit: xposed v75 is compatible.
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
you only need to flash the multi-dpi addon if you are going to change the device dpi... use one of the two other packages, if you are not going to change it.

xposed is advised and known to be used on stock ROMs. i dont recommend to use with these builds or any other CM/AOSP rom, or will give support to the users using Xposed Module.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sid_salvi:
Music stock apps are fc ...And network are working fine on C5302 :)

Music player not properly working..it is buggy
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
use music app from 3rd party, will work better (not perfect like before, though)
[Xperia SP Android Development] tomgv:
Its music bug, not music player bug, some songs wont play, no matter what music player you use. On Official CM12.1 this bug never happened.

This bug is present on CMRemix and CM12.1 unofficial SaberMod.

In SlimLP(beta 0.12) or Temasek rom this bug is not present.

Sorry for my bad english. :silly:
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
I knew that, i mean some music player got their own codec or something works better, for me, the stock player won't work, but the jetAudio works but slower than normal

Build 11.10 works fine, smooth. :) Nice battery life, good job!

Tangerine kernel will be good for this rom? :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] albertojr.neto:
Best LP rom i've tried! Nice work! Very smooth and stable. No lags.

There's any way of getting the "gesture anywhere" feature?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
yesterday, i got freeze when reading article online

it lasts like it never ends so i decided to poke the hole from the back of my xsp

then tragedy happened, first time it stucks at boot animation

the next time it boots, but freeze instantly, what i got from logcat is like my xsp is overheating, same thing repeated few times and my xsp is freezed

even after flashing other rom(clean and dirty were both tried), but no luck

i posted this here bcuz it started with the rom but I'm not sure what caused this tragedy happened, I'm also starting a new thread for this, if anyone can help , I appreciate it
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
have you tried flashing latest stock ftf?

have not encountered any issue like that so far on my xsp cm12.1 builds.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
just flashed stock ftf, with sd card inserted, my phone is dead

but without sd card inserted, it just revived

maybe the card got some strange problem suddenly when I was reading the article, that didn't make any sense though
[Xperia SP Android Development] wantei:
Your SD card might me dead or is dying. It has happened to me before. Everything worked fine after I got a new card. Proceeding may end up getting a corrupted flash.

P.S. - Don't use swap for extra ram, your card will die very fast.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sucharz:
I have tried more music players, but it doesn't help ... there were very laggy in playing and skipping songs.

Do you think it could be better in other custom roms 5.x ???
[Xperia SP Android Development] tomgv:
It's better, try SlimLP or Official cm12.1 + addons. You will see the difference. No problems with this ROMs.
[Xperia SP Android Development] pticurina:
I'm currently using build made on November 24th (moved from build made on October 24th and some earlier November builds).

Problems:

I accessed Youtube in built-in Web browser and then in Dolphin browser. In both cases picture of videos had greenish overcoat all the time. Dolphin also made my Xperia SP soft reboot when accessing Youtube.

Tune in radio is one of my favorite applications and whenever I use it to listen to the radio, it is making cracking noises like an old gramophone record and skipping streaming content (this sounds like stuttering).

[Xperia SP Android Development] bamiasHELLAS:
What problem with mp3's ??? For the past like 10 builds I've been listening to mp3's and podcasts without ANY issue, with various apps.

FYI I don't use Apollo, so I 've frozen it
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
there are several users reporting issues playing mp3's on this thread... if you are not one of them, ignore it. and FYI, "Apollo" doesnt exists for a long time now, the stock CM music app its called "Eleven" .. :)

[Xperia SP Android Development] ezwanmir:
Bug : when screen on landscape mode.. the keyboard layout shrinking like a half from full screen... hope u can fix it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] deepongi:
:confused:

which keyboard are you using?
[Xperia SP Android Development] ezwanmir:
mmm its weird.. cause i using stock keyboard same like u..

Edit: One more thing.. when do you want release CM13 infected version for XSP? :cool:
[Xperia SP Android Development] monkeyddragon:
I can't login my google account. Flashing OpenGapps says "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped".

EDIT: Fix by flashing older opengapps.
