thank you Adrian.

So you think that this setup wizard problem has s.th. to do with the GApps?... Why?

Meanwhile I already noticed some stability problems at CM14.1 but it is even more stable than CM13.

But I must confess that CM14.1 still has no additional apps installed.

Do you have any clarification why CM13 is even less stable than CM14? However, Azakosath mentioned in #2171 that he doesn't know such crash problems I have. Strange!...

I doubt that this is just caused by any installed apps!? As CM13 often rebooted although it was almost untouched. Typically often when turning the phone from landscape back to portrait.

Please let me know if you need more input about that. E.g. I could try to make some logs maybe...

Which are the issues you work at right now?

Again I would appreciate it if you could publish a working/not working list.

Thank you.

Do you know about the reasons of such sudden reboots?... Also cause it seems to be quite model dependant from what I hear. As most of the 11 models have about the same hadrware...

I suppose the crashes are caused by memory management failures and leaks, are they?

Considering GApps installation I conclude from your answer that performance, avoidable consume of storage and RAM space, stability, etc. are not that big arguments to give them up!? (actually I could imagine to try to avoid them in case...)

Hello,

as the LegacyXperia recoveries do not seem to support Nandroid (why not?) I would like to make a backup of the data partition by adb command.

I used: 'adb backup -all -f <Zielpfad>' .

But this command discontinues already after about 15 seconds. The backup stops each time with success message exactly at an archive file size of 2,4 MB. MUCH too small!

I have no idea why it stops.

The upper command does not work properly anyway. If I add e.g. the option -shared it even does not start! Or it starts but the mobile this time does not ask me for a confirmation so that it stops automatically soon afterwards.

What can be the problem here?...

Thank you for your help!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
Hi Adrian,

I was​ looking for your latest hallon build and I think I found it here

https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=AdrianDC&dl=AdrianDC/Deprecated/LegacyXperia/hallon/LineageOS-14.x/lineage-14.1-20170221-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-hallon.zip

But it's in the folder Deprecated and there is no md5 checksum.

So is it ok to use or is it too early?

Thank you very much for your work anyway!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Hello Adrian,

may I ask you an additional question to those above?...

I read that CM14 does not have an CMTE (theme engine) yet. Is that correct also for your latest version?

However I couldn't find any theme that worked with your version.

So Substratum is just another theme development that is also dependent from CMTE, right?

Do you have an idea about the state of development of CMTE for CM14.1 or better LineageOS 14.1 ?

The new name maybe LATE then...

Hello,

I would like to ask the community again my last two questions...

1.) #2188: Did anybody try this command as well meanwhile? (ideally having Adrian's ROM as well) Does this command work properly at you?...

2.) #2190: So the CMTE is or is not included in CM14.x yet? And in Adrian's version of 21. Febr?... Or is there any suitbale theme already? Maybe anyone of Substratum may work?...

3.) Adrian, I expected your CM14.1 version to be listed at https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/... but at e.g. urushi there is no cm14 option yet. So what is the menu which leads me to your moved downloads now?...

I would appreciate it very much if anybody could give a feedback. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Hi guys,

the last couple of days I've set the min CPU frequency to 368MHz and it seems to help with the delayed ringing problem (1-2 rings or 2-3 secs), even after a couple of hours after locking the screen. I've done a lot of testing and only once I noticed a big delay (about 20 secs) and that was immediately after the screen locked.

My coconut is running on LAOS 14.1 (home build) and additional settings I have are:

- Max CPU frequency 1.4GHz

- Governor onedemand

-I /O scheduler zen (I think that Mardon use it on his anzu builds, I don't know if Adrian has included it on his test builds)

- Read-ahead 1024kB

I'm using this app to change these values, but you can use whatever app you like.

I have also disabled doze using this app from playstore and this one to disable DozeService from System UI.

Let's hope that those things really help and it's not just a placebo.

Cheers...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Cool, thanks for the info.

I have had mine set with min and max clock frequencies both set at 1.402GHz, so it should be running on full 24/7, with "performance" for the Gov and "deadline" for the I/O, but this does not seem to have made much difference.

When my phone rings, it is still delayed and when the ring does eventually start, it still shows a blank screen whilst ringing for some time. So I enabled my home button to be able to answer calls, instead of swiping (because I couldn't swipe on a blank screen) so when people call I use my home button to answer, though this does mean that I answer the phone without being able to see who is calling me, which is a bit of a pain.

So unsure if your min 368 MHz is helping, or is as you say a placebo.

However thank you for the info on the doze disabler/controller, I will certainly be giving it a try.

I have just downloaded it to try it. It sounds like it should help, if it is indeed the doze which is causing the delays, by disabling it, in theory it should fix it.

What settings do you have your doze controller on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=7856437]chelise[/MENTION], here you are!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Fab, thanks, I shall try it out and see if it helps.

Thanks again for the info.

Hello,

the download link https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia does not work anymore for weeks now.

Does anybody know the new link?
[MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] Will your CM14 downloads be found there as well? If not, could you tell us also your link, please?

Thank you very much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] villus:
Hello,

if you go back to site 204, you will find the link.

regards

villus
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
If this was left unclear, villus means page 204 of this discussion thread - the link is included in this post from AdrienDC. I for one had missed this completely! Thanks for bringing this up. I reckon I'll flash the latest build on my iyokan right away, it consistently never wakes up on the CM13.0 build that I'm on as soon as it goes to sleep.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
okay, thank you.

So I think from all those links on page 204 I found the right one. Let's say it concrete, it should be this one:

https://mega.nz/#F!bt0VzQDA!6OD6YFjCKYUkX6GRhNOBDg.

In fact this is a privat download folder of AdrianDC. Fine.

But didn't he say on page 219 (#2185) that he has moved his downloads to the one of LegacyXperia (which would be very wise and transparent)?

Unfortunately I still cannot find his downloads here: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia . [A]

Furtheron it was mentioned in #2189 this link where he may have moved his downloads alternatively: https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...eprecated/LegacyXperia/hallon/LineageOS-14.x/

But here I unfortunately couldn't find my urushi version but just hallon.

And now the general baskebuild link (s. A) isn't working at all for weeks so that I could not even download version being not from Adrian. What has happened to basketbuild site and when can the link expected to be okay again?... [C]

It would be very fine if s.o. could answer us those general questions A, B and C as well.

Thank you very much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
Any news if it really works?

Boeffla doze control does not even open on my hallon, always FC.

I'm trying this one instead:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nksoftwaresolutions.dozedisabler

I /O scheduler zen is not on Adrian's build.

Any idea which of the "classic" ones is similar to zen?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=1937977]curiousde2002[/MENTION],

Here's some reference about schedulers.

Yes, you are right about Boeffla's FCs, but after some tries it starts and you only have to set it once and it works after, disabling doze on every boot.

Now, about if it works, I can only say that I haven't lost any calls since, but maybe that was just luck. It needs a lot of testing and not just from me. There are 11 devices out there but no feedback.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
So I will give Boeffla another try after testing the one I mentioned before.

I forgot to ask you about battery life with doze disabled.

Does it make a big difference?

Thanks again!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
I would say that there it's no difference at all, I didn't notice any battery drain more than usual, but that's just my opinion. Actually, I don't think that Doze affect our single-cored phones, it implemented with multi-cored phones in mind.

What about mtp host crash ? And hide wifi ssid not connecting ?

Do you have it to ?

Im on adrian anzu Los14 22.03
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
My iyokan is now on 14.1 with Mardon's 7.1.1. gapps and it works okay. I used Kernel Adiutor Mod to crank the CPU etc. It doesn't fall into sleep forever like on 13 and smaller (system) apps launch pretty nicely. It doesn't go through battery either. Wifi works fine but bluetooth remains finicky as always.

Anything larger and newer makes it slow down to a halt though, which is probably down to the lack of memory, lack of internal space, and my Samsung EVO PRO sdcard. The PRO variant has been quite a disappointment - I ran some memory tests on it earlier and the results were far less than I was led to believe. I have since bought other Samsung models that I find better but unfortunately cannot spare them for the iyokan at this point in time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Yes mtp host crash sometimes but haven't any wifi problem on urushi lineage 14.1 with mdpi MINI gapps 7.0

gapps signature verification failed

:eek:

Hello, I have arc S and I have tried to install , from legacyXperia the latest following build: (adb sideload)

cm-13.0-20161109-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip

It installs ok, but when I try to install open gapps (tried 10 times with different versions: nano, pico, mini...)

I always get the error "signature verification failed"

Before flashing the cm zip I always do a full factory reset, a wipe cache partition and wipe system partition

Also, In order to install the firmware I previously installed latest ics official firmware (ftf) *587.ftf as it is recommended

I don't know what to do, can you help me please

By the way it also happens with unofficial cm14 for arc s... So the problem is with gapps.

I've tried to install with twrp instead of cyanogenmod recovery and with cwm recovery, but they do not install the gapps in the ext3 partition on my sdcard, they instead install it on internal memori, so they apparently does not serve for the porpose of installing it because on cm13 and 14 the system is installed on sd card as it is simulated in those versions as the internal memory for the system.

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
:cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Ok, I have spent almost a month with the Boeffla disable doze, but I still ended up missing calls, texts and notifications, so it would appear it did not work for me/my phone.

At this point, I think I am just going to downgrade to cm11, as I can't continue to miss all my calls, in case some are important. (not to mention the money it is costing me phoning everyone back when it does eventually pop up that I have missed a call)

:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=7856437]chelise[/MENTION],

For sure, KK is the best choice for our devices. I'm just curious, how much free RAM does your phone usually have? I try to keep mine as higher as I can.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
I was initially only looking to free up memory/get rid of bloatware and other apps I did not need which were taking up precious memory. I thought I could do this by rooting my phone and upon searching on how to root my phone, I came across this forum and all the awesome work and upgrades which had been done, so went straight in for cm13. But due to the calls, texts and notifications issues, this appears it will not work for me. It was great in theory and I am very happy with most other aspects of cm13 (all be it, a little slow, but I could live with that), but I need to be able to receive calls, texts and notifications, so I think a down grade for me is the way to go. I hope KK does not give me the same problems.

Mine is showing 439mb with 722kb free over 3 hours and 409mb with 31mb free over 1 day. But I have just used my phone to do some internet searching, downloading and other things. On a normal day I rarely use my phone during the day.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
I am using CM 14.1 in my Smultron without Gapps from about 15 days. I am tested to call on it many time after 5 to 18 hours deep sleep, but it rings and wakes up 1 and two rings so I don't feel big problem in wake up delay. On 99 % it wakes up normally. Only once it waked up on 10 rings. I am still testing more.......
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Sadly mine is quite bad, I have times when it has only been asleep for about 1 hour and it does not wake up for a call at all.

Just yesterday I checked my phone and it said I had missed a call 5mins before I checked it. It had only been asleep for about 45 mins and It did not wake up or ring at all, this is not the first time it has done this.

I also downloaded another doze disabler today to give it a try. After downloading/setting up the doze disabler, I left my phone alone for about 30mins and then I phoned my mobile from my landline but my mobile did not wake up and did not ring at all. I gave up waiting after 14 rings as my phone still had not woken up by then.

So I think I will be giving up and reverting to cm11, as I miss too many calls, texts and notifications
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
I have faced this problem in Urushi but Smultron is best. my Smultron's data partition is corrupted so I cant use CM 11 because it use internal data for apps. but CM 12 and CM 14 are running very well on it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
odd how it works for some and not others.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
There are a lot of reasons!

- Different devices

- Different SD cards

- Different users (usage, setup, installed apps, GAPPS or μG or GAPPS-free entirely, etc)

- Different versions of Playstore and Google Play Services (even if they are installed in system or data partitions, as updates, seems to affect performance, they lag and freeze)

- And now, different OS version and builds, since the thread is spammed (even by me :p ) with Nougat comments

Your free RAM is too low, and I know that Mike says that "Free RAM is wasted RAM", but in our case, low free RAM makes our phones even slower than snails. A few suggestions:

- If you can live without GAPPS go for it or try μG (microG, search for it)

- Integrate updated Playstore and Play Services into system partition, since updates reside in data partition, which is in sdcard (I used Link2SD for that, now I'm stuck with ver. 7.1.15 for Playstore and ver. 9.8.77 for Play Services, which seem to work the best for me, and I don't let them update)

- Try not to have installed apps with heavy memory usage (e.g. FB messenger)

- Use Greenify to put in hibernation annoying apps

- Try not to keep many apps in recents ( I only keep the dialer app)

- Reduce "background process limit" (it is under developer options)

- Delete the line "ro.config.max_starting_bg=8" in build.prop, refer to this

- Reduce background apps limit to 8 or less from 16, change the line "ro.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=16" in build.prop, reference

I can't think of something else right now. If you try these and you are still missing calls, then "have a break"!

Cheers....

edit:

- Reboot once every couple of days
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
I understand that result would be different according to device, but I thought it was the same devices which were having different issues. Eg, my mango is having different issues to someone else's mango. If I misunderstood, my mistake, sorry.

I bought a top spec SD card. I was previously on a standard 16gb Sandisk class 4, the one I have had in my phone since buying the phone in 2011, I upgraded to class 10 Sandisk Elite 32gb a couple of months ago to try and improve it, but this seemed to have failed to help at all. Though I must confess I attempted to clone my old card, rather than starting from scratch, in order to save me some time and effort. This resulted in my new 32gb thinks its only a 16gb, thus I do not know if wiping and starting from scratch on my new card would help at all? Any thoughts on that?

I currently have the miniGapps (or which ever it was that was the minimal/smallest available, that had playstore and calendar)

I have FB, but not messenger, and the version of FB I have is an old version, so hopefully taking up less space. The same goes for some of my other apps, such as Googlemaps and Ebay, and I do not let them update.

Recent apps I only keep dialer, sms, calendar and clock, in hopes that having these important things open may help them wake my phone, but again, this does not seem to help.

I reboot about once a week, or more (sometimes not out of choice though)

I shall definitely try out your other suggestions/tips, such as getting rid of Gapps, adjusting the background process limit, ect. Thank you very much for those tips.

And yes, if none of them work, I shall indeed be "taking a break" lol ;)

Got a Lexar 32GB x1800 UHS-II U3 Class10 microSD and yesterday tried to install CM13 last update with microGAAPS by Mardoc on my Smultron.

Formatted in F2FS and it seems fast but I got problems with WiFi, I couldn't activate the WiFi...

Dunno why but without WiFi for sure I can't use the mobile.

I'll try to reinstall everything and different GAAPS this weekend.

Spent much more for the microSD than Smultron XD

For now I'm running CM13 on a 16GB Sandik Extreme UHS-I U3 Class10 formatted in EXT4 'cause at that time F2FS was instable. I'm using it and sometime it lags a lot but in general is fast.

Installed lineage-14.1 on my SMULTRON & its working absolutely perfect ^_^ Root is working nicely but greenify root mode is working a little bit slower than Lollipop(don't know why :/ ). Uninstalled some system apps. Now its even faster :) Tried to install Xposed but got bootloops :D though it does have some minor issues but I'm happy for the Nougat update ^_^ Thank you so much Mike :) You're amazing ^_^ I wish, I could be just like you...

Quick question: I have noticed that most of the posts over at the LegacyXperia Issues center (https://github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/issues) are going unanswered. Is there ongoing support on LegacyXperia, or is it pretty much abandoned at this point?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redhotiron2004:
We are in 2017. And the legacy xperia start from 2011. Thats a abandoned topic as far as sony is concerned. They are not even able to provide proper support for the latest Mobiles. Sony Mobiles used to be the best. But now they are struggling badly because of there policies. Initial xperia M had camera problem even xperia zr had well known bluetooth and wi-fi problem at the Hardware level which sony never recognized. It have lost the trust of many including myself. I stopped buying and recommending sony Mobiles since xperia zr.

There mobile department is going to be bankrupt soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] moskitta75:
My smultron is KO, I tried many times to flash latest CM13 via sideload but at 30%, 33% and 47% I get everytime error for corrupted data. Sometime I get the same error after 47% during istallation.

The only one time I finished installing rom and gapps WiFi didn't work.

Now I have smultron with the boot img flashed and any SD with an OS installed cause I formatted all in F2FS.

What can I do now?

Could be mobile's ram is damaged?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
So sad for me too.

My Smultron didn't wake up after all rings finished twice. I must screen on manually.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
30 and 33% suggest an error in transmission, 47 has to be on the device since around 47% transmission is finished and then the device begins flashing
