That's because you didn't read my previous post/comment properly. Read this post of mine: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68635012&postcount=1474

tl;dr - OTA files are only updates, they're not meant for direct installation. Use the other files (in the beta folder of the link I provided) and install that, ONLY.

EDIT: Also, you said you had installed the "cm-13.0-20160330-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip" file and its working fine. So my suggestion would be to just stay on that, enjoy it, test it for a while and see how things work out. Later on, when the basketbuild website comes back online, you can try the other latest installation builds from Mike.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
thanks...i'm back to cm-13.0-20160330-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip....i did a mistake...i did not realize that SD card will be formatted during this flashing process and have lost all my data, my titanium backup files, etc....i downloaded a tool called EaseUS Data Recovery software now.....the issue is my SD is not shown as a drive in Windows 10....i tried toggling between MPT, PTP usb modes....any suggestions? as i need to select my drive in the data recovery software and it is not being displayed

i know that f2fs is not visible to windows...but is there any other method that any of you have tried to recover lost data from a ext4 or f2fs sd card...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
The ota zips for anzu are nomally flashable, but last 2 versions are broken. Already started uploading a new ota zip for anzu ;)

About the differences compared to mikes version see the german thread

Boot a Linux live cd/dvd ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
oh ok...but i don't have a linux cd with me :( hope there is some other option
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
You can try diskinternals, I use it to access my linux partition from windows 10, I haven't try to access the sd card thouhg.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
Paragon ExtFS mounts ext formatted drives in Windows, no idea about f2fs. Both should be supported out-of-the-box in linux.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
i tried now but it is not detecting SD card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ParalyticSJ:
We learn something new everyday. :) Thanks for the clarification. Since those OTA files ended up in error for me, I had incorrectly assumed that they're possibly not supposed to be flashed directly. :silly:

I suggest downloading and using Ubuntu 16.04 for this purpose. You will just need a spare flash drive / "pen drive", and you can then use Rufus to create a bootable thumb drive instead of burning it to a CD / DVD. I'm sure people normally have a flash drive at hand, these days at least, isn't it? And its much easier to do these kind of things on Linux, than it is on Windows.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dragongreen:
Ok bro. So, looks like i have to buy a brand new card... But i heard that there is a way to initialize a micro sd card... Any thoughts?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
I haven't been successful during any of my attempts with multiple dead SD cards, but best of luck to you.

Most cards have a lifetime warranty, use that. Otherwise just get a new one, they are really not that expensive (preferably Samsung EVO or Sandisk Ultra).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dragongreen:
Yep bro, i have checked... That was the first thought that came into my mind... :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dragongreen:
Ok thanks. My card has only 9 month of life (Transcend...). Maybe this time i will choose another card (samsung evo, etc...).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] honeycakehorse:
My card has only two weeks of life (SanDisk extreme U3). Now I have a Samsung Pro, it still works over five months.

Hi

Can't fina a legit link for cm13 smultron. Can anyone help me with that? thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crashpb:
hey everyone...

so im on cm13@1ghz pretty happy with everything ..

one issue that i have is that the blue (alt)button on physical keyboard opens emojies menu anyway to fix that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
Advanced keyboard settings has an option to disable emoji on physical keyboards alt button ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crashpb:
thanks dude...

one more thing any solution for the phone rebooting on large file transfers?

i tried writing files directly to the sd card (using root permitted thunar) but files come up as corrupted in the phone..not sure whats the issue here...(sd card is formatted f2fs by rom installation setup..)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
basketbuild is still not available

so no build for smultron

i only support anzu on my builds

I have the impression that I will never see the smultron cm13 again. Hope I'm wrong
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
Mardon, silly question....

Will i be able to recover my lost SD card data if i format it using phone, so partition will change and will be visible to windows as a separate drive?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:

sd card partition

sd card should have only one partition ? can i have the partition like below when installing cm13 ROM?

6GB - FAT32

6GB - EXT4

2GB - swap:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
Read the OP.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpcpro:
I know our device has only 512 MB RAM and that is short for pokemon go (requires 1 Gb). But I would like to try and use GLTools as workaround.

Is that the reason why with CM13 if I try to install from the playstore it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version"?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
Help please.

I had cm11 on my smultron, I started by formatting my microSD in a fat32 primary, then I flashed boot.img through fastboot.exe, the phone restarted correctly but I lost the CMW recovery, I can only enter the Cyanogen recovery but at this point I don't know what to do and how to install the cm13.zip
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpcpro:
[MENTION=6499439]symish[/MENTION], go here https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-Marshmallow and start with "Wipe SD card". Then continue with "Flash the images using sideload". It worked for my Arc S.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
it worked! thanks mate [MENTION=627983]arpcpro[/MENTION]!

I only have one doubt: I think that cm13 and Gapps are installed in the internal memory and not in the SD. is that normal?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
there is lot of overheating from less than 5 minutes of usage...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saravanan1:
Hi friend,

I am also facing the same issue. Is your issue resolved? help pls.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
Cm has inbuilt root and latest pokemongo wont work on rooted devices
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=627983]arpcpro[/MENTION] you can download it from apkmirror and install it as normal app.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
If you know what you're doing, on Cyanogenmod you can delete (or rename) the superuser files in /system/bin and /system/xbin. You can also install SuperSU from the Play store and use it to fully unroot. That being said I wouldn't expect Go to work on any of these Legacy devices!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Hi mate I can't find any solution I googled many websites but there isn't any clear reason of symlink error and have no solution. I still stuck on CM 12.1 on my smultron
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saravanan1:
Problem fixed. :D i had used cm11 boot.img which had busybox to run commands. but in cm13 root.img uses toybox command.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sirozan:
When i first tried to flash this rom over adb sideload, it got stuck at 47%. It thought ok, OP says i need to go back to stock first, so i flashed stock 4.0.4 with Flashtool, but it still cancelled this rom at 47% everytime i tried.

The solution for me was to (read the OP again and...) really first

- wipe system

- factory reset

- wipe cache

in the recovery before I start to sideload the rom. After I did that, the process went through without problems, i sideloaded some gapps too and then rebooted and everything works now.

I don't know if this helps you two of if your problem is a similar one, but I don't know more myself, sorry. Had the xperia pro iyokan, I should maybe add.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
GLTools won't even work. I do not own the device anymore, but I remember using it, and, upon installing GLTools it just simply reboots and neither the bootlogo or anything on the screen shows up.

However, it works with CM11, but it is not playable (long load times, overheating, poor graphics, slowness...).

---------- Post added at 17:40 ---------- Previous post was at 17:38 ----------

Yup, it stopped at exactly 47% because it is when the rom is sent and it starts flashing.

wifi problem

i have cm13 on xperia neo (mt15i). I am facing wifi problem. device finds my wifi but after providing passward, it changes to saved. in few secs searching.... and again saved. sometimes it connects but immediately disconnects. i have attached screenshot for version details. anyone had this issue and find solution ? :mad:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
first impressions on my smultron...

Positive: touch really improved respect to cm11, graphic is better than before

Negative: a little slower, much less options (I did not find the perfomance options, no possibility to change wallpaper in the lock screen...)

However I'm still looking for a fast and smooth browser: I tried like 30 of them and the fastest was Puffin, but did not like at all its layout (there were bars everywhere). Naked browser is really too raw, the others are too slow. Any advice?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ParalyticSJ:
I can confirm this happening on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (anzu) / (lt18i). Restarting the router fixed this issue, however.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
This is probably a weak Wi-Fi signal issue. When I had the phone it worked perfectly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
I have been using NoChromo :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Lightning :good: Btw in terms of performance the stock one is the best but it stutters a bit on heavy sites. Lightning is a lightweight browser and while not so smooth it can do heavy pages without any lags and freezes and also has a built-in ad-block (in paid version).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ritonz:
fingers crossed!!

is there any hope of getting cm14 on our long forgotten devices?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ParalyticSJ:
Can anyone suggest a few good, updated recoveries that CAN be used and are COMPATIBLE with this kernel/ROM ? I don't particularly like using the CM-recovery that is included with the kernel (due to lack of features as compared to CWM/TWRP recoveries), and, I'm not even sure if an alternative recovery CAN even be used or not? I wonder, since the end-user only need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with this kernel and that automatically also provides the recovery along with the kernel.

Aren't the recovery and the kernel supposed to be separate, and as such, should be installed separately such as (fastboot flash boot boot.img) for the kernel, and, (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) for the recovery? Or am I confusing some concepts there? I would really appreciate it if someone could clarify on this.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nithin chandra:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
It's on XDA ;) NoChromo release thread

It's true though that finding a light enough browser for these devices with enough features is hardly easy.

On a different note, does everyone still have issues with connecting Bluetooth devices? I can pair a device and it works for the duration of the first connection after pairing, but after that, I can usually not get a new connection unless I forget and pair again.

go to settings -> theme to change the lock wallpaper.

use this to tweak your performance: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/kernel-adiutor-mod-singularity-kernel-t3333549 - I can not recommend the original store (grarak's) version it crashes on me and uses adds, but this mod is very stable and good; the best I have found.

I do not know about smultron but anzu has its processorer underclocked to 1Ghz in most cm13 builds (its rated 1.4Ghz) i'm running 1.6Ghz now. so check your processor speed, tune governor, i/o scheduler, and so on; the mod can basically tweak everything your heart desires. :D

you can also use 'no-frills cpu control' app as stated in the OP if you just want to adjust/check the processor (the latter first time the apps loads and you have not made any adjustments)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
No-frills CPU Control is very good! As realtuxen says, the CPU is underclocked, so you should raise it to 1.4 Ghz at the very least. I have been using the "performance" governor, the "fiops" I/O scheduler on my iyokan as of late and this combination feels the best. Any other good setups?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
Thanks for you help. Using Apps like no frills makes me lose their own setting after every reboot, also if I check the option to keep them. Overcloking the phone to 1.2 or 1.4ghz always causes a phone block after some hours, dunno exactly why but it does not happen with 1ghz...and this happened also with cm11.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] sirozan:
Do i need to go back to stock 4.0.4 everytime before i can flash an update for this ROM?

Because i didn't, just did fastboot flash boot boot.img, then rebooted to recovery, then to apply update -> from adb and adb sideload rom.zip gets stuck at 47%, with the screen saying the following:

"[...]

E:Installation error in /sideload package.zip

It's the "MK16i:4.0.4/4.1.B.0.587" part that makes me suspicious, or does somebody know what else i could be doing wrong here?

Im pretty sure this explains what to do.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
There might be a mistake in trying if ext4 is only faster because the f2fs partitioning is wrong. I don't think your card could be so broken that ext4 is faster than f2fs could be if it were partitioned optimally, what card do you have?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cajhin:
First, this is day 2 of the first public release, so we're all still learning.

It may be possible that ext4 is faster for some cards, but,

if you tested with 2 separate cards, my guess is that when you tried F2FS, some background process was doing initialization stuff and hogged the CPU. The launcher shouldn't lag because of the file system.

Waiting 1/2 hour probably would have fixed the lagginess in your case.
