thx for the replay

i tried with the latest adb, still the same problem

i believe the problem that pc isn't reading the device, as when i "adb devices" no devices are visible

what can i do to turn adb on in CM recovery or through fastboot-even though i had ADB on in SlimLP-

is there any new drivers for the device beside flashtool drivers?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Have you given root access to apps and ADB, under Developers Options in settings? I can't think anything else.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Machiavelli III:
thx again for the replay

the problem was that the usb adb driver wasn't installing automatically so i noticed that and fixed the driver manually

in this moment i'm flashing the Rom and Gapps, wish it's worth what i've been through lately

Because CM13 has no backup/restore feature, I´m searching for a replacement which creates a nandroid backup.zip file to be used in CM13 recovery. I want to switch phones (I own several Rays) or cards without starting from scratch every time. I also tried adb backup/restore, but it does not work with CM13.

Any suggestions?

Titanium backup is the one for you, great app, search for pro version and install't, backup all what you want(system/user apps or data) simply, then move'em all (in folder named "Titanium Backup") to pc

I tried to build last night with latest changes and got this error:

Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: local variable type mismatch: attempt to set or access a value of type java.lang.Object using a local variable of type int. This is symptomatic of .class transformation tools that ignore local variable information.

The only thing I've changed is that I mounted /tmp on tmpfs, but I can't find a reason that this is the problem. I tried again after "make clean", but again the same. Just for notice, I don't include some packages in my home builds and I'm building without JACK.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
Did you see this detailed guide already? https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-Marshmallow

Let us know if there is a specific step you don't understand or have problems with... Also which device you have, which ROM-version you downloaded, which GAPPS you use...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
Got this while flashing Stock. Really need Stock because my Nano Sim isn't here. And I need the sd card for my s7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Why stock? I suggest you to flash cm11 rom :)

According this issue - use 0.9.18.6 version of Flashtool and check if flash mode drivers are installed correctly.

Also you may check this post.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
OK thanks. If stock doesn't work I will try CM 11. But I need stock partitions
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
I have no experience at all with going back to Stock ROM, but if understand you right, you just want to go back to an older ROM on your xperia mobile, because you need the SD card for your Galaxy S7? So you want to use a ROM on your xperia phone that runs without SD card? In this case I would suggest to flash CM11: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545354

EDIT: Sorry umaturman was faster with his reply - so this is useless, but I don't know how to delete a post, probably it can't be deleted?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Use SDFormatter - it' will also align the partition for you. If you don't have a card reader you can use the "mount to USB" option from cm11 recovery.

i want too go back to kitkat from Marshmallow how can do this?

its normal step for cm 11 or other ?

becuase now my sd card is storage in cm 13
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
Reboot to recovery and format everything. Then format your sd card in the PC to fat32 (I think) and install cm 11 kernel. Then install the rom via sideload or other sd card and wipe everything again. Done

It worked for me

[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
What I did (and it works)

I connected the phone running February build to pc and enabled mtp, then copied the new rom and gapps to internal storage

I shutdown the phone and flashed boot.img

I booted into recovery and formatted system

I rebooted the phone into recovery

I installed the rom and gapps from the sdcard (I think I still had it plugged into power though)

Reboot the phone and wait a long time while applications are prepared

Profit

I haven't had a single problem with google play store.

I'm using the std hdpi gapps. I don't know why it works for me, whether it's something specific about what I did or something about the phone I have (it's an xperia ray).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xperon:
I have read all of the 88 pages here, as well as all of LX wiki for dummies - but I'm still not sure:

I bought a brand new microSD card in order to use it as an extension of the internal memory of my Xperia Arc on which I intend to install LX13.

1. Of course it's an unused card - so do I have to partition it by myself, prior to the installation of LX13?

2. Do I have to format it by myself?

Or maybe LX would do both of these by itself, when it gets installed - without needing me to do any of that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
New microSD cards are already formatted with FAT32 filesystem and only have one partition ( "primary" and "not active", as requiered), so there's nothing you need to do with the card manually. It will be formatted to F2FS automatically if you follow the instructions on the 1st page / the "installing Marshmallow" guide.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
You don't need to. It will do it during the installation.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] litemintx:
Do you have partition on the sd card? You can follow my signature for video tutorial.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mugy:
Yes.I format in Fat32,EXT4,.. and nothing.Try on XP and 8.1,but some errors again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] litemintx:
How about inserting it to an card reader or other phone then format it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mugy:
I put micro SD in card reader,and format with MiniTool Partition Wizard.Thank you,but I give up.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
Currently there does not seem to be a real fix to the issue (I assume you are updating from 20160227 to 20160327) - the only update path that currently works is first wiping /system/ and then re-flashing both the ROM and Gapps. That's how I got my iyokan updated.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] observingman:
Thanks ! Not exactly that... I'm trying to directly install the 20160327 Do you mean that if I try 20160227 instead, I will not get the error with sideload ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
I'm fairly sure wiping /system/ ("factory reset" does not apply to this case btw, have to use the wipe system command in the recovery) before flashing the packages should work in your case, too, my update would hang exactly at 47% as well.

I can't vouch for it however since I did have the first build flashed before updating to the second, but sounds like it should help. Someone with more knowledge of the internal workings of the build probably knows why it hangs exactly at that percentage, but my pleb guess would be lack of space which wiping the /system/ partition then alleviates. Maybe someone could confirm.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zaworka:
As far as I can tell, ADB just doesnt get information as soon as the update package is transfered and installed on your phone (it estimates 47% of the job is transferring the zip and after that it cant tell you teh actual state). It only shows you the transfer and the installation does take a while. I also had it hanging at 47% but just be patient and let the phone finfish the job. Especially the ROM does take quite some time to install. :good:

Just read about this, sorry I didnt get that error. How did you use ADB? It looks like you are using windows, I would recommend using "Minimal ADB&Fastboot" didnt get any errors with it using the sideload feature.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
The above users - myself included - are describing an error that prevents the update from being completed altogether.

Certainly, the packages take a while to update ("hanging" would be an exaggeration when these LegacyXperia installs take anything from 15 minutes to hours) and the progress meter jumped from 47 % to ready in the instances that it worked, but there's a specific crash that is happening that prevents flashing and/or updating without wiping /system/ at the moment.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dj_Fex:
you have formatted the sd card with one partition only (FAT32) and then inserted it, opened the recovery

made a full factory reset (incl. media), wiped system and cache (partially in the advanced settings),

installed the rom (from february) over sideload, then install gapps and then boot

if you haven't tried it, that should work

you need to do the factory reset before flashing the rom afaik
[Xperia Arc Android Development] observingman:
Yes ! it worked thank you ! In fact, the key point is that I was not wiping system. Now I've sideloaded a lot of times with no problem: At 47% it keeps working for a while (I assume it's installing the package), and it ends ok.

Also, to get this rom updated you have to follow the exact steps given in another post:

- deleting all partitions on SD-card, creating unformatted primary partition

- flashing boot.img from february-release (cm-13.0-20160226-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip)

- factory-wipe (all)

- cache wipe

- advanced -> wipe system

- apply update > using adb

- adb sideload cm-13.0-20160226-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip

- adb sideload HDPI_miniGAPPS-6.0-20160323-tb-signed.zip

- reboot

- setting up everything

- flashing boot.img from march-release (cm-13.0-20160326-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip)

- apply update > using adb

- adb sideload cm-13.0-20160326-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip

- reboot

The only thing for the time being is the failing bluetooth stuff, as I use it with my stereo bluetooth car... But some say that it's only a matter of trying 2-3 times each time you connect.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ylavi:
This process isn't working for me...

I have been using 20160226 for a couple of weeks now. Before installing that I tried 20160327 (I think - maybe 20160326) and couldn't get it to work due to the GApps permissions problems. I wiped and installed 20160226 only and all was well.

Sort of. There are various little things not working right and I thought I'd try upgrading to 201601327. I tried it with adb and that failed with "failed to read command" as mentioned by others. As an alternative I tried copying it to the data partition/SD card using MTP and then "Install from emulated" in recovery but that failed too.

It seems that the failure has nothing to do with using adb. If you look at the message on the screen (whether installing with sideload or from internal memory) it seems that the problem is that the installer doesn't like the fact that the SD card is already formatted as f2fs.

For now I still have the boot.img from 0326 installed, and assume that my ROM is still 0227 since the installs failed. It still boots and I'll leave things alone now until someone has a suggestion how I can upgrade. I am inclined to think that wiping system (which is not mentioned in the process above) and installing the newer ROM won't help -- but maybe it will, if the GApps permissions will still be OK because all that stuff from the existing installation will survive in the data partition. Can anyone advise?

UPDATE:

Since writing, I found azakosath's post which gave me the confidence to try the /system wipe -- and I can confirm that that process worked for me too (as far as I can tell so far).

Roehsoft ramexpander error

Hello,

Does anybody noticed that Roehsoft ramexpander gives an error with this rom trying to create the swap file ? :confused:

Maybe I'm expecting too much from my sd card, keeping in mind the fact that the system is already using it as internal storage ?

Also, I've been read that using this software dramatically shortens the write cycles of the SD Card, so it's better to forget using this kind of apps if you want to get your money's worth...

Thanks !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
I really don't think the increased IO from emulated storage and swap will have a positive effect on performance and lifetime. Feel free to experiment but IMHO there is no point trying to make it work as it most likely won't improve performance and definitely will kill your SD card.

hi

my rom has crashed and i have to reflash this rom on my device(mk16i)

how to i can mount f2fs partition on windows to backup my data(image,video....) before formatting ???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] robhazes:
I don't think you can mount f2fs in Windows, but you can run a Linux OS and mount the f2fs partition to access your files. I have also used Clonezilla to make a complete backup of my f2fs sd-card.

in this version of rom, in recovery mode i format system partition and factory reset complete,also repartition sd-card to f2fs format, then after flashing this rom again and loading to system, i see nothing format ! all of settings and profiles and other not formating !!!

what is the problem ?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] observingman:
Ok then I'll not use this software. I'ts a shame, because I was able to use Word (in the sluggish way).

But using those high RAM required apps in arc s is making it a wannabe...

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Hello,

It happens on my arc s (updated march rom) that after using some apps (I suspect those who requiere more ram, but I'm not sure at all) the phone reboots itself. It happens 1-2 times a day.

Also, sometimes when rebooting or turning on the phone, it does not show the alien logo from CM and then it freezes... Rebooting again resolves the issue then.

I don't know if it could be caused by some nasty app I've installed, but I doubt it, as they're the same ones that I'm installing when using stock kernel , and the issue does not happen.

Is there a way to find some hypothetical phone logs to see why it rebooted, like it happens sometimes with Windows and other desktop os systems ?

Thanks a lot, I hope it can be helpful to being able to enhance the rom.
