[Sony Xperia L] ConceptBR:
I have a simple idea for the space problem for aplications.

Simply replace "date" with "SD 0" at the time of installation of partitions.

This does not alter the structure of partitions and would give the 4 GB device for apps installation.

I've done tests. It's easy to format using the TWRP "SD 0" as EXT4.

The same process is easy to reverse.

It is safe because it does not change the structure of the partitions. :svetius: If there is any problem just restore the Stock ROM.

Soon just need help to know which Android configuration files need to change mount "SD 0 in EXT4" like the DATA unit.

The Xperia L pass from 1,57GB to 4 GB !!!

sdcard -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p32

Userdata-> /dev/block/mmcblk0p31

CHANGE

sdcard -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p31

Userdata-> /dev/block/mmcblk0p32

Is Simple and possible.

Wow. Amazing bro.

Thx you building rom cm13 for xperia L

I waiting for cm14 from you.:good:;)
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
THANK YOU! It was exciting to see CM12.1 running as well as it did on this phone, but now CM13 is getting releases of the same quality, too - holy ****!

Edit: the audio is really, really weak (on the phone's speakers, I haven't tried headphones). It's about 1/4ths of the volume of CM 12 and the earlier builds of CM 13. Anybody else having this?
[Sony Xperia L] nightshade246:
I have the same issue on the Beta 3 build, haven't tested RC1 yet.

Excellent! By the way, which opengapps do you recommend? I think the gapps from July had some issues which led to many many apps experiencing FC. Is this still the case with recent builds of gapps or has this been solved in the meanwhile?

Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia L] todonormal:
Thank you very much for RC1. Great. But, in my Galaxy S2 with PIT partition, CyanogenMod 6, etc. i can move apps to sdcard0, but in my Xperia L not. I could upload video later

NOTE: I move apps to SDCard microsd (internal storage format), and, after, i move to internal storage. Then, i move to sdcard0 and voila! Very good....

Thanks

New build is up (RC1.1), the mentioned audio issues should be adressed now.

[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Oh no, is that true?

Can anybody confirm that?
[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
Hi,

I can confirm this. Just installed CM13 dated 06.10.2016 together with open gapps dated 05.10.2016.

Even with loudness set to maximum, I can very barely hear any menu sound, and even the alarm clock is only hearable with the phone directly at the ears.

Oliver, please let me know in case I can support any data for trouble-shooting.

Many thanks for all the work!

Best regards

xleng
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Yeah, I can confirm this as well. I've tried both playing music, and playing alarms/ringtones - they're extremely quiet and barely audible in my pocket, or from a couple of meters away.
[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
Sorry guys, the issues persisted due to a huge derp on my end. I have uploaded RC1.2 (including the 6.0.1_r72 merge). Those on RC1 and RC1.1 can also flash the audio fix attached below.

On another note, I've enabled the cm-13.0 nightlies, the first build should be ready in some hours.
[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
No problem!

We thank you for all your work!

Shall the patch be installed directly via the recovery, or shall it be done in a different way?

I will probably try this evening....

Thanks for this release.

I just installed it but WiFi is not working.

It doesn t show any network.

The on/off button does not work anymore once it has been turned on.

Any idea ?
[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
Are you sure that you were on the latest stock before switching to cyanogenmod?
[Sony Xperia L] biribi:
No, I was using cm-12.1-20160822.

I then came back to 15.0.A.2.17 stock rom and I tried to reinstall cm-12 but it failed (after rebooting it gets stuck with the cm logo).

From 15.0.A.2.17 again I installed cm-13.0-20161007 and It was OK except for WiFi.

Now I am back to 15.3.A.1.17 (as I red in this thread that it is the latest official stock release).

Do you think that I should try again to install cm-13 ?
[Sony Xperia L] automizzer:
In CM12.1 the wlan mac address is the same for my 2 Taoshans causing problems when both try to connect. Has this issue been fixed in CM13?? Just want to know before flashing CM13.
[Sony Xperia L] :
Fantastic job with cm13 ! Extremely smooth and I have not faced any issues yet. Works better than cm 12.1 in my opinion. Thank you :)
[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
In my opinion you could give it a try. From what I've read here, it seems that CM expects some low level data/code relevant for wifi/rf to be at the latest xperia L stock rom version. This part is stored in specific partitions different from the main rom/system partition, and seems to be not touched during the installation process of CM.

Obviously it is your decision/risk, as is every customizing. But from my point of view, this should be the likely cause for your problems.

In case you to to flash CM again, it would be interesting for others if you could report the status afterwards, if it was successful.

Cheers

[Sony Xperia L] AdrianDC:
Just to confirm, is your MAC Address for WIFI : 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff ?

If yes, then the issue will be present on CM13 too indeed.

Fixes are done for the other Sony devices so now that it's known as faulty, just hang on until it's done on L ;) .

Hi,

I am using BETA3 now. I downloaded NIGHTLY from CyanogenMod Updater. Now how to upgrade ? should I use TWRP to install nightly. If I install then my current apps will be removed ? Pls provide steps to upgrade.
[Sony Xperia L] automizzer:
Yup, managed to fix my mac addresses with this solution :)

Yes, exactly this one. Not a big problem but woud be nice to see it fixed ;)

Oh, and the other issue I was facing in CM 12.1 and CM13 betas was that when the phone is off (discharged) and I plug the charger I see the baterry charging icon mode - and when I try to turn it on it boots to charging again over and over. So the only way to turn on the device to CM is to charge it to a few %, unplug, wait, switch it on and after CM loads plug the charger again. Didn't see this issue on CM reviews either so this is present too??

[Sony Xperia L] jarkac95:

[Sony Xperia L] Mouaz Kaadan:
CM13 is pre-rooted Rom

Enable root access from developer options

Do full wipe

Reinstall CM

Flash the gapps (pico works great for me)

Reboot
[Sony Xperia L] :
Why don't you do a clean flash? Wipe cache, dalvik, data. Flash cm13 and then flash pico gapps (or whichever you want). That way you can be sure that its getting completely refreshed.
[Sony Xperia L] underd0g:
I know that, but I need SuperSU because I have supolicy script that must be executed in su.d.

So, no workaround?
[Sony Xperia L] jarkac95:

[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
Thanks for warning the community!

Actually I get the impression that many of those "hacks" which go deeper than eg apps2sd etc are rather risky and easily lead to hard bricks.

Probably this is based on a still insufficient understanding of the complete system behaviour, and also due to limited testing capabilities that we have without eg breadboards that can be restored by lower level interfaces such as jtag.

Of course the devs do a really great job, but we must also recognize that test capabilities are indeed limited.
[Sony Xperia L] todonormal:
Well, of course, the most important for taoshan phone it's internal space now ...

A. re-partitions development AdrianDC style???

B. Invite in google play to review apps with: "Adoptable storage for marshmallow please: https://goo.gl/ddLNwu" and 1 star for apps what don't install in adoptable storage
[Sony Xperia L] Hanabishi Recca:
Why?

1) You can move ANY app (even if it says can't) to SD with utilities such as "Link2SD", "Lucky Patcher" etc.

2) Build.prop flag "dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=interpret-only" greatly reduces space taken by apps (don't forget to wipe dalvik-cache after that to apply changes)
[Sony Xperia L] todonormal:
of link2SD

4.0.13

- fixed crash on Android Nougat (7.0)

** comprehensive support for Android Marshmallow and Nougat is on the way

- minor fixes

[Sony Xperia L] Hanabishi Recca:
Based on your demands. For me this is a very odd thing, because after formatting card can be used only in this phone, and can't be transferred to another, and can't be connected to PC as a mass storage.

Anyway, apps takes only about a half of my data partition space (with flag of course), and i don't have problem with space.

I don't really remember the details (I'm very sorry) - I did this back in April. So anyway, I set up a password (of just 4 digits) for the lockscreen, then I headed over to the Encryption setting in Security, and with my phone charging (it was 100 percent already, but I still left it to charge, as instructed). My phone just restarted, and instead of the encryption app opening and prompting me to set a password, it took me straight to the lockscreen. Went over to the settings - Encryption is still available. I looked around the internet, and saw some advice to set SELinux to permissive. It looked promising, as the Encryption app indeed opened afterwards, and after I set a password, it began to do its' magic. The phone shut down after 10 or so minutes, and booted to the prompt asking me for my decryption key. I typed it, and something about the file system being corrupt appeared - it advised me to do a factory reset. I tried factory resetting through the app itself, and nothing happened. I didn't even try to reflash CM afterwards; I just reflashed Stock over again, and tried running the encryption thing on it - and it worked without a hitch.
