I think i figured out my problem.. When connecting with adb to recovery, i can't format to f2fs or ext4.. The system does not seem to support it.. Is the filesystemsupport in CWM or in the systems adb? Anyway, i'll upgrade later today my mac's android-sdk to a more modern version, so hopefully that will sort things out..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Men3emZ:
why i can't install any other rom after installing this rom >>>> i always have status 7 proplem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
According to the installation instructions,

"NOTE: You must have the latest ADB version 1.0.32. Check with 'adb version'.

With an older version you will get "protocol fault (no status)"

Should fix your problem!

Can't install CM13 on Xperia Mini

Hi there,

I have followed every step to install CM13, but I can't install it. Here is what I've done:

1 - I rooted my phone

2 - I unlocked bootloader using the Sony's Website

3 - I have flashed boot.img (the one inside the CM zip) using Flashboot

4 - I got into CM Recovery

Then I've made a "full factory reset" and I've taped "wipe cache partition".

But now I'm stuck because I can't install CM13 or GApps by CM Recovery since there is no option to install a zip from sd card, and I can't/don' know how to flash CWM or TWRP. I have researched how to install CWM but almost every website says that it has to be installed by it's android app and I don't have any more access to Android.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
5 - format system

6 - apply update (now choose option from adb or from sdcard)

And no you cant use other recoveries, only the provided one with the rom works since kernel and recovery are combined into boot.img on our devices
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
I actually had 1.0.32, but the problem seems to be in the Cloworkmod-recovery that most likely lacks support for f2fs and ext4.. That's why CWM fails to format and mount the sdcard...

It also came into my mind that i will probably have the same problem with the kernel itself, because if i got it right, the cm-11 kernel does not support f2fs..

I need to have a more close look at this, and probably get myself a server with more hdd-space so that i could recompile the kernel with f2fs/ext4-support..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexssxda32:
Thanks for replying,

First, how can I format the system?

Second, how do we apply update with adb (I have made some research and I got something like putting the zip files I want to install in the sdk/platform-tools, then open a prompt command there and tipe "adb sideload xxx.zip", being the xxx the name of the file, but it went wrong)

Then, when I choose the option "choose emulate" it is displayed this message:

"Now send the package you want to apply

to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...

Restarting adbd...

E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)

Installation aborted."
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannism13:
OK, all over again. Search and download minimal adb and fastboot. Install it somewhere in your PC. Now put the boot.img and the cm13.zip in the folder you installed minimal adb and fastboot. Now turn off you phone and connect it to PC in fastboot mode (usually by holding volume up while connecting it). Make sure your SD is FORMATTED TO EXT4 OR F2FS. If it's not use a tool like mini tool partition wizard to format to ext4 and set the partition as not active (note it should be the ONLY partition in your SD card). OK now open the minimal adb and fastboot.exe and type: fastboot flash boot boot.img If it finished without error reboot your phone to recovery. Format/wipe everything that can be formatted/wiped except SD card. Now from the recovery choose the option to update/side load from adb (your device should be connected to PC). Now on your PC type: adb sideload THENAMEOFYOURZIP.zip if no error messages appeared wait for 10-15 minutes. Hope it helps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexssxda32:
I have done everything wright...

But in Minimal Adb and Fastboot, when I type "adb sideload xxx.zip" it says that it doesn't find any devices:

"error: no devices/emulators found"

I installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot and copied boot.img and the CM13 zip, then I installed Mini Tool Partition Wizard and formated my SD Card to ext4, then I flashed boot.img, then I powered on my Xperia in Recovery, connected it by USB to my PC, chose "Apply Update", "ADB Sideload", and in Minimal ADB and Fastboot I taped "adb sideload nameofmyzip.zip" but this still happens...:eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sirozan:
You can type in "adb devices", this should return a message if it recognizes your device at all, but this *should* not be the problem as you could also flash boot.img before without problems...

So do you have

- wiped system

- factory reset

- wiped cache

before from the recovery like OP says? I also didn't and it failed, though i had a completely different error...

Have you installed all needed drivers? Not sure if the ones included in this "Minimal Adb and Fastboot" are enough. If you haven't already done so, move to the folder where you have installed Flashtool then go to /drivers, then use the installer there to install at least the generic Flashmode and Fastboot drivers, also the ones where your device is mentioned (first one i think).

If installing the drivers fails, you likely need to reboot Windows into a special menu and there enable the possibility to install unsigned drivers...please google how exactly to do this.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexssxda32:
I have installed previously the driver by Flashtool. I also have wiped systen, factory reset and wiped cache from the recovery.

When I type "adb devices" all I get is this:

"List of devices attached"

And nothing more, so I suppose ADB doesn't recognise my Xperia...

Thanks for replying, every suggestion is important :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sirozan:
Well, then i ran out of ideas for you...maybe try another usb-port, but it did recognize it for flashing boot.img...or can you try again if flashing boot.img still works?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexssxda32:
As you suggested, I tried to use another USB port, but the same as before happened, it's not found.

I already flashed boot.img twice and I haven't found any problem doing that, actually the first time I flashed boot.img was by Flashtool and the second time by Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sirozan:
Hm.

Now let's see:

The problem is: the phone is not recognized.

- the connection pc-phone is working (like for flashing boot.img)

- the phone is working and ready (boot.img flashed, rebooted directly into the new recovery, everything wiped there and then in apply update->from adb waiting mode)

I really can't think of another reason than missing drivers that can lead to your phone not being recognized...

So maybe really try re-installing them from Flashtool, as flashing boot.img would only need Fastboot drivers...for my xperia pro if found two drivers with it mentioned, making it four drivers to install from there. Or maybe try using the full AndroidSDK with platform-tools, but i think the slimmed down version you have should work fine, you're not the only one using it after all...

Maybe check your version of adb with adb version...it says somewhere that you need at least 1.0.32

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

@alexssxda32 last idea:

Have you closed Flashtool before working with adb? Think i read somewhere you shouldn't have both running at the same time...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannism13:
Hmm if it's not the drivers I don't know.... Maybe try to reinstall the drivers. Also when you type adb sideload on your computer, have you already selected on recovery "install from adb sideload"? Its very important to first select adb sideload on your phone's recovery and then type the command on your PC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexssxda32:
I have always selected apply update from adb sideload before typing the command on the PC. But tomorrow I will try to do this in another computer...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
Make sure your adt bundle package is also up to date :)

My phone (Lt15i) is suffering from lot of overheating and lag issues and is almost unusable.....i just use it for calls, whatsapp and a news app and nothing else....no youtube, no games...etc...i'm using september 2nd nightly build by Mardon....is there any recent updates guys or any new builds?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Hi! What sd card do you use? I'm happy with Samsung Evo (orange one) - much better than class 4 noname :cowboy:

If you want fastest android experience ever possible on our devices I suggest you to try cm11 with internal storage layout (LX builds) + Link2SD.

About new builds - just wait a bit longer and you will get cm14.0 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mikemend:
Will be a new release from october builds?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
i'm using Sandisk ultra 16GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Memory Card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannism13:
Hmm, did you tried over clocking a little bit? Also download some kind of Seeder app from play store. It will kill your battery but it will massively improve performance. Your last bet is probably to clean flash the ROM again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
thanks...i already overclocked to 1.4 Mhz...i don't use many apps....just two or three at the maximum....let me see
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bykidi:
also if you can live without gapps - do it now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] djtsov:
I interested too about new CM13.0 build for Smultron
[Xperia Arc Android Development] templeka:
I'm having some issues as some previous person also had that my Xperia Ray doesn't get detected with "adb devices". It was detected in fastboot so I flashed the kernel. My Xperia Z1C gets detected in ADB but not the Ray. I installed the drivers for fastboot, flashmode and the specific ones for the phones. Any ideeas?

Edit: Finally I managed. It seems a different driver that wasn't working for some reason with my Ray was loading. I manually changed it and it gets detected now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
Lt15i

Guys, anyone using Lt15i is getting smooth performance? Is the phone fit for daily use? Please can you let me know which ROM you are using and if you have tweaked any settings so I can try that as well? I'm not able to use my phone and it is suffering from overheating and lag issues...most of the app get frozen and I have to close them as they don't respond....the only thing I have done is overclocked to 1.4MHz......i'm using Sandisk ultra 16GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Memory Card

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

Hi, can you give me the link to cm11 with internal storage layout (LX builds) + Link2SD?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
That's a good sd card. Maybe you have too many apps running in background.

About cm11 - I meant LX official builds. You can found them on basketbuild (link in the first post). I suggst you to do a clean flash :) If you can install all your apps without out of memory errors- you are good. If not - from here things can get tricky. You will need to repartition your sd card in order to Link2SD to work. You can find how-to guide on LX wiki.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SV_25:
I can advise you to turn off animations in developer settings. On the latest build it seems to also disable the weird circular selection effect on lists, really giving a speed boost to my device.

I have Xperia Pro with hungarian settings. When I use phisical keyboard, and long press o or u, then I get international characters, but I not see hungarian ő and ű. How can I write these characters with phisically keyboard?

I installed swiftkey too, but suggested characters not changed. This very important me for quick writing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rambomhtri:
For Xperia Neo V, I guess I need to download the latest MINI gapps, right?

I think so.

By the way, can you flash the ROM and the GAPPS using TWRP recovery menu?

I don't even have it installed, but I could search and find how to install it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mikemend:
I installed this ROM in days. How can I made:

- SD card formatted to FAT32

- downloaded ROM and Mini GAPPS

- move these to flashtool folder

- unpack boot.img from zip

- connect phone with fastboot mode (Volume UP or Menu push while connect turned off phone)

- open CMD with admin mode and after goes to flashboot folder: fastboot flash boot boot.img

- after ready, unplug phone (CMD leave open!), and turn on with power AND Volume DOWN buttons (to recovery menu)

- push Factory reset, Full factory reset, and delete system, cache, data too.

- after delete no reboot, just select Apply update -> Apply from adb

- reconnect phone without any button push

- in CMD: adb sideload cm(and press tab for autofill)

- press Enter, and wait for flash ready. If not ready (I has stopped at 47%), then need reset on phone again and try again steps from resets.

- If ROM is ready, do not close anything, just select Apply update -> Apply from adb again on phone, and install GAPPS from CMD: adb sideload HDPI(and press tab)

- after GAPPS ready too, then unplug phone, and restart from recovery menu and wait for first boot.

That's all!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mikemend:
I send this to Bug tracker too, but I hasn't log from this, because this is a missing feature...

Or have anyone a tip how can I add these characters to long press menu for physical keyboard?

Edit: its working now. downloading Urushi port and will give feedback asap. thanks for the continued support

update: Urushi sideload stops @ 42%. i did flash its boot.img first via fastboot then reboot to recovery and adb sideload it then stops @ 41-42%
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Wipe system first, then reboot in recovery and flash ROM and GAPPS.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Stalkystalky8:
its work in new build 20161109 - cm-13.0...

more better performance, and now it come with cyanogen apps by default. tested on st15i smultron.

Last mounth i bought an Oppo F1s, A great phone, but I'll never forget the experiance i had with th Arc S, Thanks Team LX for keeping our devices updated, my Arc S will never die I'll be waiting for more updates :)

You have to see my friends's reaction when i say Nougat is cooking for this device, I'm still using it with my F1s

Thank you again guys :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
This is kinda off topic, but i wanna share my experiences with you guys

This september I bought a Moto X Play. Having the best experience so far. But nothing feels new to me in this phone, except for the fact that its faster than my little favorite, my xperia mini.....

Thanks to the hard working developers, who gave us more than a glimpse of the latest of the latest, now im truly knowing the extent and deepness of how stock android feels, even though we have seen the looks of it waay before than anyone else got to see it ;)

The one reason i chose the X Play is because, I didnt want to dump my Xperia Mini experience for some custom skin.So i decided to amplify it, in a way that i get good specs and a massive battery.. :o

Anyways, im so excited about my new phone and what it can do. I will never forget all of you guys who have been a massive support to me and to each other.

Oh and about my Mini, its not collecting dust in a drawer, I am taking it to college with always the latest build flashed on it.

A, they hav never seen such a small phone with a touchscreen and/or android

B, their face when i say, "dude, its got marshmallow" :cool:

Thank you guys, i will still be in touch, as my Mini is still my favorite !

Peace.

Maybe some time you can say "dude it's got nougat" :laugh:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
Hope I can say that real soon ! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Yasser Stark:
Yeah my friends be like :eek: running Marshmallow, My Arc S is amazing and i'm using it next to my Oppo F1s :P :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mikemend:
Hmmm... after update to october build apps response slower than in april build. How can I use faster my apps? I use 32 GB Class 10 card in my MK16i iyokan (Xperia Pro). I wiped cache partition too.

Update: Ok, I found: not enough wipe cache in recovery mode, need clear cache in Settings -> Storage & USB -> Cached data too!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
Hi guys,

anybody getting at least satisfactory performance on MT15i (Hallon) with the latest ROM?

Mine is lagging, rebooting,freezing, in other words unusable.

Card is a 32GB Samsung Evo plus (red one), and Gapps are HDPI_miniGAPPS-6.0-20161024

I followed exactly the instructions in OP, made a clean install, previous ROM was cm-13.0-20160920-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-hallon-azam426.

With this previous ROM I had the same problems:

During Apps installation via Titanium backup everything was pretty smooth, but response was never like on CM11.

After some minutes of usage it started getting slow and laggy until getting almost unusable.

Reboot and wiping cache partition only help a little and for short time only.

Overclocking and SD booster did not help.

I would have returned to CM11 already but I found many positive comments here and yesterday the new release, so I thought I give it a try again.

But now ... :(

Thanks for any help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Hi, curiousde2002!

Since Lolipop LX moved to emulated storage memory layout so lags are pretty normal on cm13 even with your fast sd card :) If you can't live with them I suggest you to revert to cm11. Our devices was designed with GingerBread in mind so their hardware is old and nothing can be done about it :(

About reboots and freezes - dunno, my urushi works just fine. If you experience these issues again - post last_kmsg log here.

I have Dropbox, WhatsApp and Google play services running in background and none of your issues present so far.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
Hi umaturman!

I am aware of our old hardware, but, as I said, there were so many positive comments here that I thought I must have done something wrong.:(

What about WiFi?

I forgot to mention that most of the time it looses wifi connection as soon as the screen is off.

Tks anyway for your quick reply :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Check in Wi-Fi settings "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep". It should be on. Also you can try to set static IP instead of DHCP.

Here's the few tips that might help:

1. Overclock CPU, 1.4GHz will suffice;

2. Disable all animations via developer options (set them to 0x);

3. Do not install Facebook app;

4. Flash Mardon's GAPSS mini instead of std;

5. Check phone number lookup (or something like this) in dialer's settings, it should be disabled for good.

6. Do not restore via TitaniumBackup when moving from different android versions (e.g. cm11 -> cm13), except for Messages :);

7. Format the sd card via SDFormatter (check align option) in WIN (use cm11 kernel for that or a card reader), then format /data in recovery (make sure that you're using the latest kernel).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
It's on, and, I also forgot to mention before, during sleep it doesn't even wake up on regular phone calls, that's really deep sleep:confused:

Tips 1-4 are done already but I will try the other ones.

You think that even restoring apps without data with TB should not be done when coming from CM11?

I have the latest kernel as I am using the latest CM13 release.

Thank you very much!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dragongreen:
My device is Hallon and it is running great. No reboot, no freezing... Play service running in background, WhatsApp, etc...

My card is a 16GB Samsung Evo (orange) with latest cm 13 build (2016-11-09) and GApps is Std HDPI_GAPPS-6.0-20161024.

Do not install apps via titanium backup, start a fresh install or try another card ;)
