[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
A new build (ALPHA2) is up. Everything should be working, except for bugs mentioned in the second post - although I have been testing the build myself (as usual), I'd appreciate useful feedback. Enjoy, thread reopened...
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
I might give it a try later today when I get home.

Oh, and what is this "adoptable storage" feature, and how do I know if I have it enabled? I'm afraid of a permabrick since I recently bought this device and I won't be able to buy a new one if something goes wrong...

Edit: Can this be installed with the TWRP from corphish's app?
[Sony Xperia L] Vishal_Assassin:
I installed Alpha 2 (19/12 Build).... :)

And All Basic Features and My Favorites Apps Are Working Good... :D

I'm feeling that CM13 is very smooth and fast... ;)

No problem in Power off and reboot to... :highfive:

I'm waiting for Camera Fix... :fingers-crossed:

Thank You So Much.... :good:
[Sony Xperia L] Amogh Thambi:
Huge improvement

My review: Flashed it via TWRP and it supports f2fs too... (System was in ext4 though) Boot time was less compared to LP... And yeah everything's great. It's butter smooth. No lags or what so ever! :) Battery backup is good too... But the only thing I noticed was the network type remains on 3g no matter what i do. Rest all is fine. Fm radio is missing though. Looking forward for camera fix too. Overall a splendid ROM for alpha stage. Also no hardbricks or anything... Rebooted thrice till now and no issues. Great Work.

(Pardon me if i posted in wrong place..... I'm noob in XDA)
[Sony Xperia L] priyank.g:
Well. the browser force closed for me thrice right after clicking the 'download' button..

Rest its great..
[Sony Xperia L] Lazzard3:
The issue is in the browser app itself. Found this on cyanogen forums: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ild-in-browser-crash-when-downloads-anything/

EDIT: If you mean the issue in the ROM
[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
Another day, another build ;)

ALPHA3 is up, check the third post.
[Sony Xperia L] rostifaner:
Gps works too?
[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
Yup. works for me.
[Sony Xperia L] rostifaner:
Woohoo)) thank you :good:
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
I tried the Alpha 2 and it was pretty good for an alpha.. Jesus, I was VERY worried during the install, even of the tiniest error.

When it finished I was pretty ****ing relieved that I didn't experience a brick.

The alpha was 'stable'. I mean, things didn't force-close for me constantly, which was the experience for me with other alphas. I can't wait till the camera gets fixed.
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
I didn't read something about camera issue in this 'Not Working Post'...is it already fixed in Alpha 3? :)
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Well it says right there...

Brothers please help speaker volume is very low please help even tried volume booster but not working still..... Please help
[Sony Xperia L] nightshade246:
I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong, but when I flashed my SD card as internal storage, Play Store wouldn't install any apps on it and would just say that I have insufficient storage left.
[Sony Xperia L] n78 shadow:
You should install the apps normally then go to

Settings >>> Apps >>> (choose an app)

And then change the storage to sdcard1

Good luck

Edit : not every app can be installed in sdcard1
[Sony Xperia L] nightshade246:
The issue is that when the app is too big for sdcard0, it doesn't let me install it all and says I have insufficient storage.

Thanks anyway!
[Sony Xperia L] n78 shadow:
Yep I get it .

But I don't think that there's a way to install directly to sdcard1.
[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
Hey guys,

sorry for being inactive for the last few months - I'm now done with school and can hence focus more on taoshan. BETA2 is up with the following changes:

- Removed unnecessary kernel modules and moved the important ones to the kernel

- Cleaned and updated sepolicies & enabled enforcing SELinux (we can now hit the nightlies)

- Reverted to Camera2 since it's more stable and reliable than Snap

DOWNLOAD:

- Mirror 1: androidfilehost.com

- Mirror 2: basketbuild.com

- Mirror 3: olivierk.eu

Enjoy! :)
[Sony Xperia L] NyQuilXT:
Hey Olivier

great to see you back! Thanks for the new build and for keeping this device alive!

I'm flashing the new build right now!

[Sony Xperia L] therishabh:
Great smooth performance, front camera is working....Just one thing SuperSU isn't working on Beta 2,flashing supersu leads to bootloop
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
What do you mean by this? It's gonna get nightly builds (although unofficial), or official nightlies?

If it's the latter, does that mean CM12.1 would stop being released?

Also, I'm glad to see you back!
[Sony Xperia L] mxperial:
It means that by now it is possible to start official CM13 Nightlies, and Olivier might do it at anytime. And yes, if CM13 nightlies starts CM12.1 will consequently stops.
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Ah, okay. If that's the case, can't CM12.1 get monthly updates for the sake of security, then? Abandoning the project would seem like a waste.

I'm sorry for asking so much from the devs.
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
For what do you need CM 12.1 builds/updates if CM 13 nightlies have released? CM 13 is newer and faster and more secure...
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
I know, I know. I guess I'm just asking for extended support (no more than 5 months), until 13 gets stable enough.
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
CM13 is really stable atm and has a lot of advantages over CM12...
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
CM12.1 has automatic nightlies almost every day (usually twice a week or so). I guess that's enough, no need for the developer to do anything
[Sony Xperia L] Luncer:
Hi Olivier

How are you?

Ifound two bug in latest version (Beta 2)

1.Clock and datet resest automatically after every reboot

2.Google cam (Installed from gapps) can`t connect to camera and gives error

But except these two bugs almost everything works perfect

Thanks for great rom

[MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia L] XavierDark:
Thank you for the ROM and for the update.

I'm not certain if this is the right thread to ask, and I don't think this qualifies as a bug report, I'm just asking for some help as my phone is stuck on the boot logo forever until the battery runs out (from 90-100% to 0%).

I've previously used CM11, CM12.1 and the previous beta 1 of CM13, but after flashing beta 2 a couple days ago it's just stuck on trying to boot.

The recovery I'm using is TWRP 3.0.2. I wiped my phone completely(the system, sdcard, cache etc). After that I connected my phone to my PC, while on recovery, and copied the ROM zip and GAPPS zip to my external sdcard. I disconnected my phone from the PC. Flashed the ROM and after that GAPPS (Open GApps Platform: ARM / 6.0 / pico). The logs didn't show any error so I wiped the dalvik cache and rebooted the phone. The phone went into the boot logo and now is just stuck there, I waited ~5 hours and it still didn't fully boot after an hour or so the battery ran out. So I decided to do everything again, charging the phone to 100%, wiping the phone completely 10 times(for reasons) and flashing everything the same way(I also downloaded the ROM from a different mirror, and tested both zips for any errors), this time I left it overnight, keeping the charger connected and in the morning it was still stuck on the boot logo. The third time I tried a different GAPPS package(A-GAPPS) and the same result. Can anyone provide some help? Maybe I'm just missing something or being really stupid. I'm sorry for being such a bother.

Edit: Never mind, I couldn't get it working and I'll just be using CM12.1 until another update.

[Sony Xperia L] ebi02:
Some filed!

When the switch from 3G to 2G mode has been shifted go. And that the "only 3G" no. It is too bad that Ast.hal this part of the problem is that 4G is not added. The modem device will support it. please check it. Overall ROM is extraordinary. Thank you for making the time to put these ROMs. A very strange problem for me. For two hours or more off the phone when I set the time is ruined. Repair and on that I do not have a hardware problem. Please check out the problem. With special thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
The Xperia L doesn't support 4G afaik. Yeah, it's a somewhat recent phone, but that doesn't mean it supports it. The stock ROM doesn't support 4G either; the cause is the hardware, not the software.
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Xperia L appeared in March 2013 (so it's 3 years old). It doesn't have 4G in the hardware, so you simply can't have any 4G with this device..
[Sony Xperia L] AnTerNoZ:
Have u tried boot ROM first without Gapps? In some reasons that helps with all my phone's if they don't want. Just let them do the mystical art magic at boot, restart to recovery and flash Gapps..

Don't had trouble installing on my wife's phone, ROM is over all smooth.

btw Pokémon Go works ?
[Sony Xperia L] ItsMrBee:
Hi, sorry im quite new here, but i have a problem with cm 13, i installed it about a week ago, then few days back i installed zd kernel made by corphish, correct me if im wrong, and today my phone froze, it wasnt the first time, everytime it happened i just removed the battery and started the phone again, but today after removing the battery and turning on the phone, it apears it got stuck in a bootloop, it is stuck on cm loading screen, but its not frozen, so i guess its a bootloop, dont really know if i should report this problem here, if not, then sorry, and sorry for my bad english.
[Sony Xperia L] newguyknowsnothing:
You should not report any problem if you have custom kernel, or xposed or any kind of mod to the rom.

cyanogen mod 13

When I'm install cyanogenmod 13 with gapps on startup i had black screen. CWM didnt work.
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Why are you using CWM? It can install CM, sure, but it can bork up certain install scripts, which is probably what happened. Try flashing with TWRP instead - I haven't ever gotten any problems with it.

install rom

i'm going to install this rom in my xperia l but i need to know few things before installation. does everything working fine in this rom ?
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Short answer - no. A slightly longer answer: It's a beta, for fuсk's sake - I mean, it's stable enough, but if you're looking for surefire stability, you should probably get CM 12.1 instead.
[Sony Xperia L] paulsiskos:
What about gapps and recovery?

Hello. Thanks for the rom. I have a question. What recovery could i use for successfull installation of rom and gapps? Which gapps are better to install?
[Sony Xperia L] MartySchellman:
Recommended recovery: TWRP

GApps: The OpenGApps project

Still cannot post outside links yet, sorry.
[Sony Xperia L] mikelektro:
IMO:

This rom uses too much place from your internal storage. Eventhough you can use your external sd for storage, after the basic install of the rom and gapps, there is not enough room to download and install other apps. (I bet the device first downloads it into internal storage, before you can move it to external sd). This can't be fixed probable since this device (taoshan) wasn't meant to be used with MM.

But after installing the rom, and using it for some weeks, I must say it runs smoother than it did on cm12.1.

Still, I thinkin of reïnstalling cm12.1 because of the lack of working space ...
[Sony Xperia L] MartySchellman:
You could still try the adopted storage feature, which is only available in MM. Or, use Link2SD, that's what I always used. ;)
[Sony Xperia L] mikelektro:
Indeed, I am doing this. But the free space available after installing the ROM, gapps, handful of other apps, won't be enough to even download other apps. Well that's how I interpret this problem. I can be wrong.
[Sony Xperia L] MartySchellman:
I wonder when and how this would happen?

Any infos on this? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia L] mxperial:
Hey [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION], don't want to bother you, but just to know, are you planning on building Android 7.0 for our device?
[Sony Xperia L] cojocar.andrei:
I think that merging the internal sd with the data partition is more important than nugat. I heard that Oliver is working on this one. If he succeeds than this is a big victory. It would be nice to know what's the status on this... Probably nugat will never work on this old phone ...
[Sony Xperia L] mxperial:
I see. Nugat will certainly work on this 'old phone' based on what I heard so far. So what if he brings this to marshmallow and it wont works on nugat? In my view an alpha version of nugat would be the best from now, and the development should go from there on, just my opinion.
[Sony Xperia L] STRYDER~007:
Oh don't worry, our device is totally capable of running Nougat. ;) Since L's big brother Xperia SP is now running AOSP Nougat, we can get it working too! :D

EDIT: Well even XM got it booting! So our chances are better now! :p

Upgrade to BETA2

Hi,Currently i'm using CM13 ALPHA-4 in my XL. I want to upgrade to BETA-2 image. Please provide the steps to upgrade.

And also guide me how to move apps to ext SD card.
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Install this app: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/development/app-recoveries-recovery-installer-t3187915

Select TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) and let ir reboot.

Download the ROM (a zip file) to your storage and, if you like, a Gapps package.

Turn off your phone. Turn on your phone, and when the purple led appears, press Volume UP key to boot into recovery. There you select Wipe. Choose System, Data, Cache, Dalvik-cache (warning: this will delete all your apps, so make a backup of your apps using Titanium Backup)

When done, from the menu select Install and choose the ROM and flash it. When done, you can flash a gapps package. After that, reboot and now wait for the apps to optimize. Now you have Beta2!
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
No, CM needs the CM Nougat source code to drop, and even then it could be a complete other progress of building.
[Sony Xperia L] karthi252:
Thanks [MENTION=5863105]Aenadon[/MENTION]. Please help me to move apps to ext SD card without adopting SD card.

[Sony Xperia L] karthi252:
Thanks Marty..How to create second partition in SD card to move apps using Link2SD app..:confused:
[Sony Xperia L] MartySchellman:
You can partition your SD card with your PC/Mac, that's what I did. As far as I remember, you need to make two main partitions, one Windows formatted, one EXT4. In any case, just do a Google search, and you'll find. ;) Or have a look at the Link2SD website, I'm sure there's a tutorial on how to do it. Additionally, TWRP recovery also lets you format/partition your SD card, but I have no experience with that, and dunno if it work the right way.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/general/xl-guide-rooting-xperia-l-c2104-c2105-t2307983
[Sony Xperia L] MartySchellman:
CM12/CM13 come with built-in root, you just need to unlock it. Go to settings > About phone, then tap 7x on the build number. After that, the developer menu is unlocked. Go to settings, scroll down until you see developer options. Enter menu, you'll see root access. Switch on root access for apps and ADB (or whatever you need). Very easy. :good:
[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
BETA3 is up, check the OP - please do report any audio issues.

Regarding Nougat: I'll finish CM13 first and enable the nightlies before moving on to CM14. I know, it has been a long time, but I was on vacation for the past two weeks, and couldn't really do much in the beginning of August either.

If you don't install GApps at least in its most minor incarnation (a.k.a. "pico"), you don't have any PlayStore at all. So you can't install Gmail or Chrome. ;)

Same for me. Menu sound works good, but no sound in recorded videos. However, sound is well present in pre-installed videos. Therefore I would consider it's likely an issue with the mic driver, rather than the audio/loudspeaker.
