There is a Mega folder with some more recent builds.

Would be really nice to hear more from the devs about how they are planning to distribute these builds in the long run, what with Cyanogenmod shutting down, and LegacyXperia going silent. I don't mean this in a "more builds now!" sense, only that I'm sure we are all interested about how the organization process is going currently, what the plans are now that the dust has settled, and whether the advent of LineageOS has helped or hindered progress.

Does using MicroSD Class 10 or UHS will improve alot compared to Class 6?

Just curious, I've tried various MicroSD (class 2-6) it's very slow, it took almost 20mnts just to boot (not first boot)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Yes, using microsd class 10 which has better read/write speed will improve performance. My Smultron CM 14.1 boot in less than 1 minute.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
Yes, class 10 is currently your only option. You should basically buy a Samsung EVO+. Even then, performance will not be very good.

That being said, there is a new type of sdcard coming soon, the UHS-I A1 type card. They are actually meant for running apps off the sdcard.

Sandisk announced one a while ago. That's where we'll probably have to go when they get released in late summer.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keylock32:
How bad is not very good?

is it still slower than internal memory?

Does this devices support UHS/Class 10 SD CARD?

at this point I already have too much MicroSD, because every phone I bought always includes it (2GB-32GB)

I was actually just recently start to using this phone again after reading various websites, I always love it, it small, compact.

The reason why I stop using it is because the internal memory is pain in the a$$, I can't update anything because it's full and can't use it either because everything needs to be updated, with custom rom it's doable.

I've used CM13, but it's too slow, so I downgrade to CM10, but the Bluetooth doesn't works, not big deal actually but it's basic feature.

I'm running CM11 for now, it's pretty fast, everything works perfectly but the problem is always the internal storage.

Even-though I've already set External storage for default storage with ADB commands, the system still using internal storage for cache and installation which always getting error because 100MB can't store anything beyond that (for example: whatsapp alone required more than 50MB+ for install file)

I don't game on phone so idc about games.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
CM11 + Link2sd or APPS2SD linking apk, data, library, obb + fast random sdcard is your best go.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] keylock32:
unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem, if I tried to install any apps bigger than "free space" left in internal storage then it would fail to install.

eg. installing google services require 100mb, so if my free space is 40MB left, then I would get low space warning.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
New build available, lineage-14.1-20170515-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-*
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Better alternative is only to use another mobile.

Or use this one for a very custom demand, so that you can completely clean it and pre install on system only the 1 or 2 apk that is demanded.

I use my Xperia 2011 as my second device, full installed like I suggested, and everything goes fine, but huge apps like Facebook (for this I use lite alternative). Only custom mod I did was to clean system partition as better as possible and moved to it some user apks that are essential to me + system apps' dalvik. This included to move google play services to user apps only (and then be linked to sdcard) to free system space and not have lack of memory when it automatically updates.

Mine is configured to link apk + data + lib + obb

As far as cpu power and sdcard speed permit, the mobile runs fine. Near 300MB is always available in memory this way.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
You can use CronMod-INT2EXT4 with CM 11 and you get more internal storage for installing apps,but your sdcard must be partitioned Ext4. You can partition with Minitool Partition Wizard.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
Tried to flash this on my Iyokan, was unsuccessful despite wiping everything (first system & reboot and was unsuccesful, then system, data and cache, and was unsuccessful). Choked at various points of the transfer. The previous version installs with no problems at all (lineage-14.1-20170322-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-iyokan.zip), just reinstalled it.

The previous version also had a TWRP recovery which was absolutely fantastic, it was next level, this newest one no longer comes with it. Any reason for that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JimmyRay:
Hello chaps, long time no see!

Last night I plugged my little Xperia Ray (running what I believe was the 20160417 CM13 build) in to charge, and awoke this morning to find the phone was stuck in a boot-loop on the LegacyXperia screen.

I use the Ray as a backup device, and primarily as my morning alarm clock. There is no sim inside, and wifi is disabled, so the battery lasts quite a long time. I had not updated or installed any new apps, so was surprised to see the boot-loop.

Removing the SD card I noticed that the Ray tried to boot (the CM13 boot animation appeared), but obviously without the SD card it never actually completes.

I'm just wondering if there are any simple fixes that I can try? Factory reset in recovery does not work, however I noticed that when attempting to format /data the phone resets itself. Could it be that the SD card has died?

I don't intend to use the Ray as a daily driver (now I used a Samsung S4 Mini for that role), so might just reflash CM11, and not worry about having to re-prep the SD card in order to install CM13. However if there are any simple fixes, I'd love to hear them.

I notice the LOS14.1 builds in the Mega links above, and mention that they use TWRP recovery. Does this simplify the flashing process?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] trax7:
The card might not be dead per se but just corrupted. Try reading it on Windows with a tool that reads ext4 partitions or on Linux directly if you have one. Otherwise, reformatting is the way to go. Unfortunately, you still might have to reflash the whole ROM and will lose the data you have on it. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JimmyRay:
Thank you for your reply.

I just tried placing the SD card in a USB reader. Ext2fs allows me to see the contents of the card (just 1GB used), and copy more or less all of the files to a temporary folder on my desktop. So it seems that the SD card is not dead, nor corrupt.

Any other suggestions?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
Anyone else have problems on their devices flashing the 20170515 build?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JimmyRay:
Just to reply to my own post, while I could still access the data on the SD card, it seems that I was no longer able to modify the media (could not repartition in Paragon, or reformat to FAT32 in Windows), so I assume it has died. Is there anything else that can be done to check/bring the SD card back to life...if not, I guess I will throw it in the bin.

Ultimately, I ended-up flashing the latest CM11 rom, without any GApps. There is no SIM card, and WiFi and GPS are also disabled. So this little Ray is happy to sleep all day, gently sipping ~2% battery over a 24 hour period, then waking-up to sound its alarm (to wake me up) in the morning. Granted, CM11/KitKat does look and feel rather dated compared to CM12/CM13 and now LOS14.1 on my S4 Mini, but it's incredibly responsive on the little Ray!

Thanks to Mike for his great development work on these devices over the years!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] trax7:
You can try the official SD format tool. Google it. It helps with these kinds of problems :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] afah_me:
When you install adb installer v1.4.3 correctly, you should have 3 choices when selected "android device"

-android adb interface (for adb normal ex, install any apps,backup apps, read logcat,etc)

-android composite adb interface (for adb sideload)

try re-install it...make sure every option is "Y" and allow to install google driver

From 10 days my phone feels someone is touching on it. It don't sleep after inactive of specified time. When I pull down quick setting from status bar its automatic up and down again and again(like I scroll down notification and close it). Sometimes it don't respond to my touch because it already feels touch before my tap and sometimes runs normally without any problem.

Stuck at TWRP screen

Haida here. Just reflashed back to stock .587 firmware to go into the haida 20170514 build. I flashed the boot.img from the zip, but when I boot to recovery after, it gets stuck at the TWRP splash screen. A few moments later, it'd reboot by itself. Any way to remedy this? The CM 13 used cm recovery and I was able to install cm13 successfully last time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=5213008]btiu[/MENTION], since you flashed the stock firmware, you have the original partition layout. Follow the installation steps again from the OP, especially #4 ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] btiu:
Hi [MENTION=5565731]azakosath[/MENTION], thanks for the quick reply. But that is my problem: I can't even reach the 4th step because twrp doesn't show me any of those options. Just the splash screen. :(

I've done this before on CM11 and CM13, both using CM recovery. I don't know why TWRP isn't working for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
It seems I didn't read your previous post carefully, I didn't see about the reboots. TWPR works fine on my coconut, I would suggest to flash the boot.img from a previous build or even from CM13.0, format the new partitions and the SD card, install the ROM and then flash again the latest boot.img.

Cheers...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] btiu:
Thanks, i'll try a LOS 14.1 previous build's boot.img and report back. MEGA's transfer limit stopped me from doing this now...

Update: used the 0322 build's boot.img. It booted the recovery so yay. Flashed the 0514 rom after that and gapps, hoping this pushes through to normal boot.

Update 2: it worked! Installed no frills haha

Hi, I want to flash this ROM on xperia play (R800i), however I have a problem with one thing.

My device has stock 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42) but LegacyXperia requirement says: 'Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed'. The problem is I can't find it anywhere for my device, could someone please send me a working link with this ICS?

And why official LegacyXperia wiki installation instruction doesn't mention this requirement [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION]? Is it really needed or not then, and im ok flashing with 2.3.4?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] trax7:
No, ICS has the newer baseband so you should flash it first.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] N1xX:
Will newer build version work or it has to be exactly ? I still can't find it so flashed this in meantime. However build number is 4.1.B.0.631 - will it do or still bad?

I have tested (without gapps) the last version from May 17 - install is ok with the old .boot - but Bluetooth is not working for me - so i go back to 0322 -

Wlan is not very stable - Bluetooth the same - i think you can only use Buetooth/Wlan/Gps for it self - but not at the same time...

But it is usable fast, Yalpstore and F-Droid does it for me. iam testing now a little (lag and so....) but for Daily use, 4.4 with link2sd seems better for me.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Press and hold volume up while connecting phone to your pc for fastboot. May be fastboot drivers isn't installed in your pc. first install drivers from folder flashtool/drivers. If installation failed disable signature verification before installing drivers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
thanks, but if I do this I enter the cyanogen recovery, and not fastboot. Drivers should be installed on my PC as I did the process correctly 1 year ago.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
There is probably some confusion here. Your phone has to be powered down and preferably disconnected from a USB connection for it to recognize fastboot. While the phone is shut down and disconnected, you start holding down volume up, and while it is held down, plug the phone into your USB cord connected to your computer. The phone will then realize it is to be fastbooted and will not continue to load recovery.

The only usable daily, besides stock, for Xperia 2011 devices is CM11. And only with a fast SD card + Link2SD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Things you can try:

- Different usb cable

- Different usb port

- Different pc

- Or you can re-install the driver

I disagree, CM 11 may be more stable, but I'm using nougat for almost ten months now and I don't want to go back. Except Bluetooth which is really buggy there aren't any severe problems. Kennel panics are still there as with CM 11, caused by memory leaks. You just have to make some fine tuning with memory management if you want to use GApps (I have disable some Google services), or you can go completely GApps free (μG is another solution, if someone knows how to make the patch, I had tried it for a few weeks and it works really good), because when the device is running low in RAM becomes unresponsive or doesn't wake for incoming calls. My last home build isn't much different from Adrian's latest test builds and I'm using my little coconut as my primary phone with LAOS 14.1!

P.S. Of course you can't use any memory hungry or in general resources hungry apps, but I don't think you can use them with CM 11 either.
