Hi mate I think you have lost your data partition, I had this type problem in past so I suggest you read post 8372 on this link

cm11 has the data partition on the device as far as i know.

So you can not use the sdcard from cm13.

If you want another rom you can follow the "get back to stock guide".

This works with flashtool.

I want to modify cm11 so that i can use data partition on sdcard with f2fs on single partition like with cm13.

HOW TO???????????:confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] v6ak:
I've tried three card readers with two cards. All those card readers are probably comparably old and both cards seem to be comparably new:

* Xperia Mini Pro integrated card reader with Samsung EVO 32GB.

* My laptop (2011 model) integrated card reader with Samsung EVO 32GB. (The same card…)

* Raspberry Pi (early model, AFAIR summer 2012) integrated card reader with AFAIK some A-Data 32GB microSD card.

When I tried fstrim on an ext4 partition, it worked from Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) and Xperia Mini Pro (KitKat). My laptop, however, also complains about not implementing TRIM when formatting the card running command “mkfs.f2fs /dev/xvdi”.

Either there is something wrong with ERASE support on my laptop (e.g. card reader does not implement ERASE or some Qubes/Xen/libvirt/kernel/mkfs.f2fs issue) or my phone lied when running fstrim.

Note that 10% of 32GiB is 3.2GiB, not 320MiB. When using the lower estimate (7%), you still have 2.24GiB, which is far more than 320MiB. So, the reserve space seems to be around 3GiB in this case. Since EVO (and maybe also Evo+) is TLC card, the reserve size is likely to be multiple of three, so I assume it is 3GiB.

If I suppose that the μSD card uses static wear leveling. Then it depends: When writing on one single place all the time, you will repeatedly rewrite the extra ~3GiB + one erase block. If you write to all parts of the whole μSD card (uniformly), you will repeatedly uniformly overwrite the ~35GiB. Those two are extreme cases, but expected life differs by order of magnitude. And I haven't taken into account write amplification.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexander-n8hgeg5e:
Same thing on my pc,... mkfs.f2fs complains about no trim support.

I was really surprised that it seems to be available on my phone.

Yes that's true :laugh:, I calculated with some pessimistic plausibility verfication logic.

The thing is on the package of my sd card is nothing printed about wear leveling extra space and nothing about static wear leveling.

So I assume small extra space and dynamic wear leveling.

Nobody can read the source code of the firmware(cardreader and card), so it can be that the wear leveling algorythm does not really use the trim commands.

Nobody knows, they sell us what we buy, and nobody asks about...

The best thing is to apply a software wear leveling layer over the card.

There is the possibility that sdcards have a additional interface that exposes the direct flash layer to the outside.

I heard that some people complained about that this does not exist.

With this feature and a good software layer you can even use the card if some eraseblocks fail.

No need to throw the card away if only some blocks are worn out.

Maybe only the half remains, nobody cares, it works.

Bad blocks are transparently managed.

Look at UBI. UBI has that feature.

But what probably happens?

The card will switch to read only or deny the access to your data.

And you have no chance to know.

There are companies out there that do data recovery from harddrives and flash devices.

Their main job is to do backward engineering.

We buy products and later we have to do backward engineering to get our data back?

What's wrong with the world?

Same with the phones we use, backward engineering is needed to use the custom roms.

All problems come from proprietary parts. Proprietary software, nonfree hardware without documentation.

That is all work that is done and should not have to be done.

I mean the work could be saved.

It's the same like building luxury goods. For example a yacht for 200 million dollar.

One person is happy about it, 1000 person did much work to build it.

Better LegacyXperia, it's the opposite.

You think that's ok because the people got paid for building the yacht?

Thats the most common answer,: They are good because they offer jobs.

No it is not because the workers had no time to grow food and to build other things the world needs ,because they build the yacht.

So the food and other useful things are expensive now.

So the workers have money but it's not enough to buy that, what they could buy if they worked on another thing.

That's the thing if you waste work.

Make your own job!

People stand up and demand for what you deserve !

That's all basic logic, I do not need to think long about economy.

Maybe to basic to see.

I know what makes the world broken.

LegacyXperia is a good thing and makes the world better!

Will we be able to use Adoptable Storage with this ROM on Arc S ?

"Google has made an attempt to unify the MicroSD / internal storage experience in Android Marshmallow with a feature known as Adoptable Storage. With this, you can use a microSD card just like internal storage. The caveat is that once you do this the microSD card can only be used in that device, and removing it can cause all kinds of problems."

[Q] USB Mass Storage & ADB sideload

Hey i have two queries.

1) In Marshmallow status i did see USB mass storage Working. But how to enable mass storage mode?

2) Is ADB sideloading is the only way to flash zip files? Cant we flash zip files from sd card after installing marshmallow?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
It is using a kind of Adoptable Storage, as the microsd IS the internal storage here. But unlike googles way our card is not encrypted, for more performance (we have only 1 slow core!).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SirBiggle:
After you have installed marshmallow it is possible to flash from sdcard. just copy them to the phone when the operating System is still working and do it from recovery after.

How to sign files in Ubuntu

I have tried sign-em.bat in windows. Is there any such tool for linux users?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
Hi guys!

Anyone using this rom on the Xperia Mini Pro (sk17i / Mango)?

I manage to install the rom without any problems, and it seems to work without any errors. I did less steps as EugenStanis explained in his previous message (the CM recovery-console did not have tools for formatting everything).

The only thing that bothers me is that the rom feels sluggish. i hit an icon, and i have to wait up to 2-5 sec before anything happens. Of course, the specs for the Mini Pro are not amazing (Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2, CPU: 1.0 GHz Scorpion, GPU: Adreno 205), but what i understood, it should be much smoother and quicker than KitKat. KitKat again was much smoother and without any waiting pretty nice. I got mysef a fast Kingston 64 Gt UHS-I microSDXC card, but i wonder if the 64Gb is too much to handle? I have a 32Gb Class10 that i could try out, but first i just want to check if someone else has similar findings with their Mini Pro..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
At least in all the specifications I found it was always written "up to 32 GB" - but I don't know if that was just because maybe there didn't exist larger cards back then? I have the same phone, but still running on CyanogenMod 12.1 / Android 5.1.1, this one works fine without the delay you described, using a 32 GB Transcend Ultimate 600x (90 MB/s read spead) card. I wanted to wait for the next release before trying CyanogenMod 13.

I think it actually really could be a problem caused by your 64 GB card, because there are 2 more Mango users running also CM13 without delay it seems:

On page 18 "exzemat" wrote "Very smooth rom and happy to use it on my mango."

And on page 29 "Lamner" wrote "I got my mango out of my drawer to try this out, and I'm impressed. It's fast and working fine, even on my Samsung Class 6 SD Card."
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
Ok. This sounds promising. I'll put back my 32Gb card (it's a class10 card), and see what happens :) I don't know how the files and system use the internal memory, but i think that putting an extra swap-partition on the internal memory could potentially give a speed-boost..

Anyway, i'll do a new try, because i think the marschmallow-rom feels really nice, especially when it uses the whole SD-card as 'internal' memory :)

Can i install CM13 without formatting my SDCard to ext4, because it refuse to,it work only with fat32 and exfat
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
sure.

do a primary fat32 partition on it (full card), recovery wipes will do the rest and create f2fs partition on card in that case so it will be usable for cm13
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Yasser Stark:
Here is my problem, i have Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class10, i've formatted it to fat32 and flash CM13, but it stuck in booting, i have plugged my sd to pc and i find it unallocated, my sdcard can only format to fat32, no f2fs or ext2.3 or ext4 just fat32

:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
1st flash cm13 kernel

The wipe data in recovery option wipes complete card and create f2fs on it! Do a reboot to recovery after that.

Now you can choose apply update, choose via adb.

And use adb sideload on pc to do 1st cm13 flashing and gapps flashing.

Once you are booted imto cm13 you can access sdcard from pc via mount options notificatin

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Yasser Stark:
it becomes unallocated after formatting using CWM, TWRP, CM13kernel, Minitool, it works only with fat32

also i can create a first fat32 partition, but the second partition goes unallocated again
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
Do only one partition on it no 2nd one for cm13!

And about unallocated , i guess you use windows it doesnt know ext4 or f2fs so it just shows unallocated ;)

Gesendet von meinem LT18i mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Yasser Stark:
You didn't get it, i plug my sdcard to pc and try to format it to ext4, but the progress stops at 50 per cent,so i've unplug the SD and replug it it asks me to format so i format it normally to fat32,

i plugged the fat32 SD to my arc s, and do full erase, after flashing CM13 and Gapps and boot, the phone stuck in the bootanimation, i waited for it until my battery

becomes 0, so i try mounting the SD to the pc and check it with Minitool and i found it unallocated so i format it to fat32 (because ext4 didn't succed)

sorry for my bad English!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
ext4 is from Microsoft and windows too. They would be complete idiots if they do not implement their filesystem into their os. So I guess windows supports ext4

Try to leave the SD card "unformatted" and "not active". Do it with MiniTool

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
Maybe that's true. Try another sdcard and see if it works.

Try with a old SD card or buy a new one. Maybe this card is damaged
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
ext4 support isnt installed on windows at default, needs install of optionally unix filesystems packages but also no full ext4 support on windows after installing them.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
Ext4 is not a windows-filesystem, so i would not use any windows-drivers/hacks for achieving an ext4 filesystem. If you don't have a linux-computer, then create the ext4 with it, but in any other case I would use the MiniTool Partition Wizard for windows..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] litemintx:
Perhaps formatting fat32 on windows will be enough, though as the instruction said

Format to F2FS or ext4 (F2FS is the new standard), or

if the partition is unformatted or FAT32, then it will automatically be formatted with F2FS later.

I have a mini without the pro. except for the Hardware Keyboard it is the same Hardware if i remember correctly.

Hi!

I have an xperia pro (iyokan). I am new to this. I read all the instructions and have two questions left...

Apart from my apps/media etc. do I need to backup any system files? I thought I read something like this in the past, but can't remember exactly... and can't find it anymore.

Second question: I have a samsung pro sdcard. Regarding alignment / erase blocksize... I can only find information about the samsung evo. How do I find out the erase blocksize of my card, or does someone know it? It is a Samsung MicroSDHC 32GB PRO UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10.

thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
Actually i dont back up any thing.. Media and apps, all ready save in my pc... So i just format my sd card with fat32 system primary.. And dont need to back up system..

Just flash like the instuction on wiki... Dangg... [emoji106]

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cagali:
Hi Mike, I read from the wiki that CM recovery is working, does it mean backup/restore works with f2fs too?

Also it seems there were some discussions about raising the max clock from 1.4g to 1.6g, is it cancelled or may be I just had a false memory?

Thank you for bringing CM13 to these 2011 phones.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mathewgx:
CM13 is little faster than CM12.1 at Xperia Ray.

Main problems are (same as CM12.1) the long time it takes to install an apk and the delay when receiving calls.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SirBiggle:
wlan tethering

Great Job. Installs and runs very smoothly. But there is a 'but'. :)

If i try to tether a second phone by wlan tethering it connects but it can't Access anything on the connected phone. a ping to Google in a terminal didn't get any Response. browser on the remote phone don't open anything. in the same time on the xperia i can Access Internet. I have a smultron.

anybody else can confirm that?

and additionally like in the 12.1 release if you disable wlan tethering when the guest phone is still connected the xperia reboots.

These two issues go to the bug tracker?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
ok solved the gapps Problem. reflashed cm13 and then gapps right after that and it works. at bootup a typical Google backup error messsage -> it works

but it says "Setup assist" was closed every 5 seconds :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdrianDC:
Go to Settings / Privacy / Privacy Guard / Menu, Advanced / Device / Setup Wizard,

and allow the missing permissions that were not allowed by default.

If not working, clean flash the whole ROM.

GApps should only be flashed upon first clean or upgrade boot from CM-13.0,

if done later gapps will crash due to unauthorized permissions from added system apps.
