Oh, my God. I would never have expected it but you are right: There are additional options at menu point Factory reset: All the one I was missing!... Thanks.

So you have been right. Cache wipe didn't help. I had to wipe data (your option 3) to run properly again. Anything in the data section must have disturbed the system!... Strange!

So now I can at least access to the SD card again.

Corrupt?... Unfortunately I cannot test my SD card without a standard format on it. F2FS no test tool can handle, naturally. But it is a brand new card and should not be the reason! I will reformat it and test it now anyway.

Do you think the SD card could be the reason for this unstable behaviour of CM13, e.g. for all my uncontrolled, sudden reboots? Or are these crashes still 'normal' at this version?...

By the way, which ROM would you suggest for me instead of CM13? Actually, I forcibly intended to try now an older version like LegacyXperia CM12 or even CM11, after all this disaster....

Would you also advise me to try an even higher version instead, like the one Masterpro112 mentioned in message #2163 ?...

In no. 2166 you see my remaining questions to that ROM solution... ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=4130710]Falk2[/MENTION],

The best advice I can give you is to try and find out yourself which is the best version for your needs.

My coconut it's running on Nougat since October and the only really bothering thing is the delayed ringing (or none sometimes) for incoming calls. The guys are doing an excellent job if you consider how old these devices are! You are welcome to try μG, but the best solution is to go without GAPPS. About the reboots, they aren't normal at all, either you change something in developer settings or maybe an app you installed is the culprit. The best way to find out what the problem was, is to make a bug report in the bug tracker (check OP for instructions). And if your SD isn't class 10, don't bother using anything above CM11.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
It's difficult for me to decide now which version I could accept!

I life already with the big problems CM13 makes to me from the beginning on. But I must add that I installed all necessary apps from the beginning on. So I have no idea if they have s.th. to do with those probs.

In general I can say that the system gets slower the more apps have been installed. That my suspicion.

See, I had no idea why and when the reboots came. I just saw some time later the PIN code input and realised that I was not reachable the last time. With about 25 additionally installed apps it was even cruel to use the mobile any more. So bad! I had to wait many many seconds before anything happened and at every second start of an app the system hanged of and I had to take out the battery for reboot. Terrible.

And up to your last remark I thought that this is just normal at this nightly...

I really would help the developers to fix those problems but what please shall I do? I cannot write them anything. There was nothing I could to say about what why when!...

I supposed the critical storage management of CM13 to be responsible for the crashes cause there are only 512 MB RAM. But you say that's not the reason!?

So my only chance seems to be to install apps step by step and wait each time for at least half a day until I can be sure that there is no crash happening!?...

What about the GAPPS problem? Why is it the best solution when they are missing completely?...

1.) It is not possible to install them some time later but only directly after the ROM flash, is it?... Cause the system partition has to be expanded therefore, and that makes problems?...

2.) Problems cause the auto-update of GooglePlay services gets bigger and bigger and takes too many system resources (space, performance)?...

3.) How can you exist without them? You have to download and install each apk separately then, right? Okay, may be possible. And you cannot use a really good online navigator: GoogleMaps, right?...

And all this just for not to be watched by Google, not to create a Google account?...

Or is CM really more stable without them?...

My SD card is an expensive and fast one.

And now I can finally clarify myself why I missed calls so often since CM13. The described ringing problem at Nougat seems to be also at the current cm13!...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Meanwhile I flashed CM14.1 ROM of AdrianDC and GAPPS. I just did it in the same way like CM13.

Everything worked fine but at the very last step I failed:

The installation assistant does not continue after having searched for an update (no result message). After 15..40 seconds it shows instead the message: 'config assistant was closed' and offers only two options to reopen it - although the WLAN connection is fine. And when trying to use the mobile connection this doesn't work as well (activation of mobile services is endless!).

If I press home or back I am just directed back to the language selection but cannot leave the assistant.

A reboot also doesn't help. The assistant is started again.

I just cannot pass by. This seems to me to be a bug.

How can I find out what I can do now?... (cannot even find a bug tracker (of Adrain) to fill in my problem)

Maybe MasterPro112 knows to help me?...

Furtheron, where can I find an issue list of Adrian's CM14.1?

Is this really true that there is a ringing delay of CM12, CM13 and also CM14 of 5 to 10 rings?

Why is that a problem to fix?

Didn't anybody fix that? I once couldn't even find it in any issue list!...

Cause this makes a ROM completely unuseable, doesn't it? I mean, who uses a smartphone and doesn't care for not being reachable?...

If this problem still exists at all three CM versions above I would be forced to use CM11 anyway!?...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
In CM13 and CM14 ringing delay problem isn't fixed still now but in CM12 this problem is minor,its delay one or two rings. I am using CM12.1 as daily driver on my Smultron .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Thank you for your feedback!

So could you comment those questions as well then?...

1.) So you are sure concerning also the last version of AdrianDC from 21.2.17? He may not have fixed it already?

2.) Do you think I will reach him by direct email? Or how can I reach him otherwise? (you see above that I also already have an installation problem of his ROM...)

3.) Again, what is the technical problem with that delay? Why isn't it fixed so long time yet? But in simular version cm12, it even is!...

4.) Why does this problem not appear on issue list of CM13 and cm14 but only insiders know about?... (s. https://github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/wiki/Marshmallow-status) Where do you know it from?...

5.) What about the vibration for a call notification? Is this also delayed at CM13 and CM14?...

Thanks again for your feedback!

Installation assistant? I guess you mean the setup wizard, in that case, pull down the status bar, tap on the gear icon to enter Settings, go to Apps, on the top-right corner tap on the 3 dots and select Show system, scroll down, find the setup wizard and grand all the permissions. Probably you will have to get over the pop-up every few secs. Adrian's builds are just for testing, that's why there is no issue list. And please, search the thread, the most things have been discussed and answered many times.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
I am sorry if I should search not enough in the thread. I tried to avoid to ask answered questions again.

But several of my questions I couldn't find by search in thread... (or they didn't relate to the latest ROM version)

Testers of Adrian's CM14.1 say that it works pretty fine already. Seems to be even more stable than CM13.

And ringing seems to be solved in this CM14.1 (this worked already although the config wizard was active): Just one ring delay. Ohh, I would love to be able to test it but this damned wizard blocks me to get to home desktop.

And Adrian unfortunately didn't answer yet to my direct mail to him.

Thank you, Azakosath, for your last description but I have no idea how to e.g. pull down a status bar, etc. I have no chance to come to settings or app list, or anything yet!

The config wizard is the one which is always and only started after a pretty new installation to set language, Wifi connection, etc.

So unfortuantely your last tips I just couldn't do.

About the reason of the ringing delay (and why it is not mentioned in todo lists) there also is no real clarification in the thread. The reason does not seem to be the one given in #1931 (from cm12 on ring listener is not hold in RAM anymore and SD card is too slow). So I still would be interested to know which is the technical problem here and if I could be right with my test result above... so that e.g. I could estimate if this problem would/could be solved soon, or not. (decision if going back to CM11 now or keep CM14.1)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
[MENTION=5565731]azakosath[/MENTION]

I now discovered that I can pull down the notification menu during running configuration wizard under special circumstances.

I then could even do what you described above. There were two apps called config wizard (different icons). At one of them I could set the rights. I set all access rights to yes (camera, contacts, telephone, videos) but this didn't help.

The problem is still the same, unfortunately: The config wizard is started after every boot up and blocks the access to the screen!

Do you have another suggestion how I could get access to the user screen?

Unfortunately AdrianDC still didn't react... Is there any bug tracker?

In fact it is anything that seems to fail at the update process so that the wizard cannot be closed normally and the update flag is not unset. It seems as if the update server is not available or WLAN and mobile data connection cannot be built up...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Probably you flashed GAPPS after the first boot, that's why this is happening. If what already told you didn't help, then you have to start from scratch (system wipe and factory reset). But you can give it a last try, do the same, but first force stop the setup wizard, then go to usage and clear data and finally grand the permissions.

Using the search option on this thread: #32, just on the 4th page.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
[MENTION=5565731]azakosath[/MENTION]

Thank you so much for your quick response!

Yes, I flashed GAPPS (HDPI_miniGAPPS-7.1-20161031-tb-signed.zip) cause I cannot see that microG is already useable and I need to run apps that use GooglePlay services.

However, why should that be the reason for my setup wizard problems? What has the one to do with the other?

I fighted a lot. And fortunately i was successful with passing by at this wizard now. It was difficult and I even don't know what my successful step was cause I did so much. I only know that it can work via the option 'don't use any network' (for doing setup check). This option is offered only a very few times.

Now everything is working very fine. No crash up to now. Much better and much faster than cm13 !!!

Now I wanne add root with file 'addonsu-arm-signed.zip' (s. https://download.lineageos.org/extras).

But flash fails with error message "failed to verify whole-file signature". But I checked the MD5 checksum by signature which is correct.

It seems as if I cannot use this addon at Adrian's ROM. Why not? And which is the way to root? (this thread did not answer this question yet)

Do you maybe know?...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
does any body has the same problem as mine.... my coconut stop at legacy xperia logo.. after used cm13 for 2x24 h.. the problem start after I change sim card.... lol...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] atanganaa:
does anybody having this problem?

in my coconut the wifi works fine..

but when i step away from the signal range and come back again, the wifi doesn't conect automaticly.. i must go to settings/wifi/press on "name of the red" and press conect.

sorry for my english.. did you understand what i'm trying to say

is this a bug or a configuration issue?

thanks for help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Superrman:
i also have it the bug with the wifi that dosnt connect automatically

PS

another bug

sometimes with internet data.. so i did in dev option never disconnected .

also some apps become really laggy even whatsapp (1st load after no long use).. thinking about downgrade to CM11 :(

if i could expanded the RAM (swapfile) it'd be great but CM13 dosnt support that (ive tried)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vudu69:
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature of ''doze'' which was implemented in android 6.0 ,but sometimes when i dont touch my phone for some time,when it goes to sleep or whatever,i should be receiving a phone call but my phone is not even ringing,and on the callers phone it sounds like it is.I even tried turning off battery optimizations for all apps in battery settings and told my girlfriend to call me,but the results where the same.This could be a big problem for me,anyone else experienced this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
Every single people here should read description...

This is early stage of development!!!

"Status:Beta"

And people want super smooth, blazing fast rom based on Marshmallow without bugs, on this stage of develop, LMAO.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
cm13.0 uses ZRAM already, there are no need for swap file. You can try to increase zram to 190 MB instead of 120 MB.

Also you need a SD card with good random IO (class 10). Otherwise you should stick with cm11.0.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Well, it seems you have bricked your sd card. :cool:

You can also try to format the sd card from stock ROM or from some old good recovery (use FlyKernel for your device). I used both ways when I had similar problem. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kzyw:
Hi guys...

i would like to ask. i just installed 5.0.2.7 cwm in my s arc and want to install this rom of cm never i have installed no rom on arc s, i have it in the 4.0.4 stock 4.1. b. 0.587 no installation i have very clear because i never used cwm and now i'm somewhat lost... i am accustomed to twrp i install the rom and the gapps the ext sd and proceed to the installation?

so simple?

I have a locked bootloader

i apologise for the english, i am using the google translator
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
[MENTION=6052529]Kzyw[/MENTION] You cant flash this rom with locked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
Screen on time with minor UC tweaks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kzyw:
Thanks, i was looking at it by google haha, i will contact sony to see if i can unlock the bootloader

A question... the hdmi working well?

Best regards!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] amishxda:
Where is the option to turn off? By just setting it to zero (0.0x)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION], are there any chances of getting back the option to choose random alarm in DeskClock app, or am I the only one using CM who misses that feature?

Thanks in advance...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] geri268:
can I upload the self-compiled ROM for Xperia Neo (hallon)? It isnt on basketbuild. It only includes the "official" things which are stated in the changelog
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Superrman:
i already using UHS card,its faster then class 10 , when i used CM11, i used swapfile instead of Zram and it was faster less laggy (1.5GB) it total

i think it become laggy when the RAM is "runnningout" ,also CM12 is less laggy this way, but still slower from CM13 \11,so CM13 is faster from 12CM so i guess the problem is the RAM ( its look like the phone reloading almost everytime background apps and while using the same app) when i used greenify app i had the same problem, at least with 1st loading

i've tried to install busybox still didnt work "swapon swapfile invalid argument"

sorry for my bad english
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdrianDC:
Alright I didn't understand before why there were complaints about hallon build,

just noticed the zip is missing from the folder, but I just checked, the build is saved on my server.

Checking a few things then will upload if alright.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] geri268:
okay, and could you upload recovery.img too? on later cm12.1 and cm13.0 builds I cannot boot into recovery. pressing the buttons does nothing. It is only possible to boot into it with "fastboot boot recovery.img"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
Ask the app developer, its a 3rd party app problem and not rom related.

Failed on Nexus 6 Android 6.0.1 already mentioned in store app description ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Marshmallow needs more memory to operate - 1 GB is the minimum recommended RAM - that's why it's not so fast :)

Swapping on the SD card is what could kill your SD card, you shouldn't use it. Unless you want to buy a new SD card...

ZRAM is a compressed in RAM swap partition, so there are more strain on a CPU. You surely can see some decrease in performance with using it on KitKat with Dalvik runtime, but with Lolipop/Marshmallow ART runtime it's not.

So try to increase ZRAM size or wait until the ROM is out of beta :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdrianDC:
Alright....

I do not like to be unpleasant, especially with new users or users having problems with their installs, but this time things need to be cleared up.

About you contacting me and complaining about not getting an answer:

This is not a job we do, we are not paid to do it, we spend most of our free time on Android development because it's a "hobby"

Being a developer does not mean we are a 24/7 hotline to answer every single issue you may have

We have a life, we are allowed not to be connected for a while.

Even sometimes happen that we may be on vacation and / or no internet and / or the internet box blew up

Thing we may have compiled at date MM/DD could be fine for us, but not for everyone, that is called development

You emailed me this morning, then a second time, and complained three times about it on XDA... Do I need to explain further... ?

Never share personal emails on open forums. Even if it is my public development email, putting it on forums could lead to automated spams.

> Please edit your post and remove the email address. Interested people can still look for it on my commits.

To continue on the personal side, since it concerns LegacyXperia too,

due to recent issues I am migrating my downloads (15-20GB...) and I have been working

on the migrations / scripts since a few days, once finished I'll update the links in my old posts from this thread.

About the issues you reported:

Most of us usually flash Mardon's MiniGApps only and they work fine for us

If you have issues with the Setup Wizard, try to search about it and see with others if they have ideas

About the incoming calls, that is an old issue due to the low RAM available on the device and general CPU speed

Solutions exist and have been tested along the months / years, like holding the PhoneUI in RAM, but implies more RAM usage

We try to fix things when we can, but can not fix everything and instantly...

I hope you understand my point here.

Thanks.

If you're using LineageOS build dated 21.02.2017 you only need to enable root access from Developer options cause ROM is already pre-rooted. However, if you're using the earlier build dated 17.01.2017 you may need to use SuperSU 2.46 cause official SU addon provided by lineageos team wont work for us,, credit goes to [MENTION=8040426]dopaddy[/MENTION] post #2086
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdrianDC:
:good:

Glad you get the point and that you didn't intend to pressure me to answer instantly.

We haven't made "14.1" officially uploaded & threads & all because we don't consider it finished yet,

and there are issues we are still looking into and testing whenever we can.

For the time being, the 13.0 thread holds 14.1 comments too.

As said, my builds are for testing purposes, to confirm what does work and what does not,

mostly with users feedback over this thread and personal talks.

Fact is I build LegacyXperia on my physical server (about 24 hours to build all 11 devices),

and the recent 13.0 builds are from there too, maybe last 12.1 as well, I don't remember.

14.1 builds are held separately for now until we agree it's stable enough to release (no ETA at all for now).

About downloads: I've finished migrating my files last night & update All... links to them on XDA,

the 2 posts I had here about the test builds have been updated for these links.

Old links will break, sorry about that, the servers are not available all the time anyways so does not change much.

That's up to you, not my choice to make. I like having full installs on my devices, and also have some installs without GApps (especially AOSP on the SP),

and some users like to do it all manually to have only the minimal things they need, if they don't need the services. Most do not do that though.

No idea for now. Mardon builds and uses his Anzu much more and looks like it's fine for him.

I know the SX, a few users asked me if I could support it when I did the Marshmallow / Nougat bringup of Sony Blue devices (T / TX / V),

but the Japanese variants of these Blue platforms (mostly the same SOC) are most of the time LBL,

the bootloader cannot be unlocked and I just can't support something like that, I do not have the time or the device or the will to work on LBL

and hack around to get something eventually booting but that can never go official, and probably would be stuck with old unsafe / vulnerable kernels.

PS : Don't answer to each point or quote it all, or the forum will explode :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
As you are aware of the incoming call issue, on cm13 and cm14, I was wondering if this is a fixable issue?

Of course, if it is fixable, I do not expect you or any other Dev to fix it immediately, I merely wish to know if it is a fixable issue or not, so I know whether to continue to wait for a possible fix in the future.

Or if it is not fixable at all due to the antique tiny memory state of our old phones and therefore will need to give up waiting on a fix that is just not possible and either live with the issue indefinitely or downgrade to cm11.

If you could let me know either way, it would be greatly appreciated and will help me decide what to do.

;)
