Partition wizard has two bugs that made it not "just work" when setting up the card for lollipop.

1. It won't put a partition at the position I enter, when I went back to look where it was always somewhere else. By creating and deleting at different positions I was eventually able to create an aligned partition.

2. It is confused about how big the card is when creating a partition, so it won't allow me to put it at the end. However when I create a partition with the largest size it will accept then it shows unused space at the end.

Using adb to create the partition was a much saner experience. I don't know if I was supposed to just ignore these bugs, or whether they only happened to me. No amount of reading could help, people either don't care or assume I was doing something wrong. The only thing I did wrong was try to use partition wizard.

It strikes me that it would be much simpler if recovery could just create a single f2fs partition using the whole sdcard no matter what was on it to start with. Then everybody would have the same setup, no different instructions for windows/Linux/macos etc.

no. just install gapps immedeatly after the lx Rom.

i updated from adriandc's build to release build like that without factory reset.

formated System, sideloaded lx Rom, sideloaded gapps, reboot, done.

all apps and Settings present.

Which Arm version are these CPUs ??

I have an Armv6 dinosaur (these are still being sold!!) screaming for an upgrade beyond 4.4.4 (which does run quite nicely). The idea of using the SD for all /data (rather than taking a bit from Peter to flatter Paul), alternative to the O2SD idea, looks to be best idea. If you have succeeded in building an Armv6 ROM this way, would love to see this going on my old LG P500.

Problem of trying these things, however, is there may be no return--need differing recovery to flash it.

swap

I just installed LX CM 13 and it works.

I formated the second partition of my sdcard to swap.

This second partition is 1Gbyte.

I used the command mkswap on my linux machine.

What i will do next is to enable this swap and put the enable command in some boot file to enable automatically.

I have cm-12.1- LegacyXperia on my other Phone.

On this Phone I have this 1G swap enabled and i think it helps to stabilize my phone.

Additionally I set swapiness to "100". Then the kernel uses more of the swap.

I use firefox and for example osmand (app with openstreetmap maps) and these both use much memory.

The swap prevents the taps in firefox from closing. And it prevents the apps from closeing by some "appkiller" funktionality.

I think Android frees the memory by itself and therefore the memory will not get full and because of this it will not use the swap without a high swapiness value.

To enable the swap: swapon /dev/mmcblk_number or something like that.

The main advantage is that if I load a very big app, it will not fail and it doesn't has to close all other apps. They become swapped instead.

If I switch back to an app in swap, it will take some seconds. But not long.

Normaly my swap usage is aprox. 100mbyte. 250 300 i think, is max i had.

Yes, battery in stand-by is excellent, indeed.

Also, the "apps started on boot FCs" was a theme issue after all. The default theme has no such problem. In general, I have found that many themes are not 100% stable yet, everyone should expect glitches.

Hi, on my ST15i (smultron) with this CM13 I tested ANT+ enabler app.

Before, Endomondo couldn't find any ANT+ hardware in my device. After running and installing all apps requested by ANTenabler, it appears that ANT+ hardware is present and running, Endomondo now says so XD. Can't test if really it is enabled 'couse I don't have any ANT+ accessory to connect, I must look for a friend with an ANT+ device before buying one for me...

Hello guys,

I hope that someone can help me.

I have flashed the Rom on my Arc S, this is the version that i have installed - cm-13.0-20160417-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip

I fastboot flashed the boot.img

Did the wipes as advised in the OP

Sideloaded the Rom and then Gapps

Booted the device and went through set up.

Cool really nice not any issues, then though when have rebooted the phone the screen is now unresponsive.

Hardware buttons all work, anyone got any ideas cause stumped!!

So I back tracked through the thread (took a while) and managed to find the cm-13.0-20160330-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip.

Flashed this and I have the same issue.

Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ParalyticSJ:
Hi,

I have the same handset as you do.

1) Are you using a Class 10 (or better) rated SD card? This is to eliminate this as a possible reason for what you're encountering. I was also facing device freezing (aka touchscreen unresponsive) since I was using a Class 4 SD card.

2) Maybe you can try the latest build that exists: "cm-13.0-20160912-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu-ota.zip".

Please note that this is a modified build created by Mardon, but rest assured, it does work really well. I have tried it myself.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannism13:
OK, you have to know that after you flashed the cm13 on your mango then you have very little free space left in your /system partition, so that's probably the cause that you can't flash any zip files. Also, after reading the above, you should forget about flashing big mods found here. If the mod is ~10mb then you could try to but if it's larger than this then you can understand that it just won't fit. Also, don't ask for ETAs, it's the golden rule of the XDA's developer community.

Snapchat crashes after 1s. and instagram photo filter crash the app too... Do you have the same ?

Is it safe to install this version 20160918? Any knowledge how better it is than this official one from april? Do i have to :

1. Install by adb, reboot?

1.Wipe cache, system, data

2. install from adb

1. Install boot.img from 0918

2. wipe all

3. install by adb ?

Which is correct for update ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Snapchat and Instagram's filters crash because the phone has only 512mb RAM, and most is taken up by the system.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Do you mean Mardon's LX13? It built from sources with updated f2fs. You can't go wrong with it :)

1. Install boot.img from 0918

3. install ROM by adb sideload

4. install gapps

Mango in-call sound too loud

Hello all,

after installing cm-13.0-20160418-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango on my Xperia Mini Pro the in-call volume is too loud even on minimal setting. If I increase the volume during a call the sound becomes distorted, meaning that it is off limits.

Previously I had CM10 from Free Xperia Project and volume was OK.

Do you know any means how to lower the in-call volume other than standard volume controls?

Hi xc-racer99!

Have you managed to patch a kitkat boot.img with this patch, and get your phone to use it? I have now patched a Mango boot.img, and flashed my phone with it. The final issue is that i the rom does not boot, but sticks to the cyanogenmod blur "rotating logo".. Any help would be apreciated :) Here is my post on how i patched the boot.img http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69210655&postcount=1234
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xc-racer99:
Sorry, no. I don't have a LegacyXperia device, I merely follow a couple of other legacy projects as the hacks that they need are often the same/similar to the ones needed for my device. I posted that link as I saw you guys were trying to do the same thing. If you can extract and repack the boot.img changes and things still boot, then you're doing the process right and my guess is that the issue is http://review.msm7x30.org/#/c/1250/1/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml as that is not a boot modification (kitkat didn't dynamically determine if the primary storage was emulated or not but had to have it specified at compile time). If a repacked boot.img doesn't boot properly, then I can't help you as I don't know the specifics of how your boot.img is formed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
Hi!

The boot.img works, so i managed to patch it correctly :)

Do i have to have an sd-card that is somehow pre-fixed (eg. two partitions), or something similar? Or can the installer/recovery do this automatically from a blank sd-card? One other think i did not figure out (yet) is that where do i find the / overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml file? It's not in the cm-11...zip package.. :.-(

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

I found the xml in framework-res.apk.. now patching the storage_list.xml and repacking the whole thing. Let's see if that works out :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xc-racer99:
That file needs to be edited before compiling, so you would have to build the full ROM from source (eg following http://xdaforums.com/xperia-mini/general/guide-2011-how-to-build-cyanogenmod-12-0-t3041214 but replacing cm-12.1 with cm-11.0 and then making the changes from http://review.msm7x30.org/#/c/1250/1 in device/semc/msm7x30-common).

You also have to manually create the two partitions, you can do this from TWRP (don't know if it's available on this device) or by putting the SD into your computer. You could try this before having to build entirely from source.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
So modifying the cm-11-20160417-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip and patching the boot.img + framework-res.apk inside that package wont work? Ok, I'll try to get the source retrieved (it's huge, and my 30Gb devel-server will not be enough..)

How large does the first partition be? Is it enough that it exists (Eg 1mb, or do it habe to be a particular size?) What if i change

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data f2fs rw,discard,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,inline_xattr wait

in the patch to something else, like mmcblk0p1? Would'nt that reflect to the first partition?

What I/O scheduler are you using?

My Hallon ( cm-13.0-20160920-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-hallon-azam426, Samsung Evo Plus 32GB Card, ext4 ) uses about 7% battery per hour in standby, airplane mode on or off, WiFi or mobile data on or off.

Wakelock detector shows max 5%, so deep sleep should not be the problem.

It's overclocked at 1.4Ghz max and 122Mhz min with default governor and I/O scheduler, now I want to try different settings to reduce battery drain and need some hints.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xc-racer99:
You might be able to modify framework-res.apk, but I have no experience with doing that. With changing to mmcblk0p1, yes that would then use the first partition. And before I start blindly listening to me, make sure that /dev/block/mmcblk0 is your external SD card, some device have an internal SD so the external is /dev/block/mmcblk1 and you don't want to repartition the internal...

Yes, you can limit what you download using local manifests - basically create an xml file in .repo/local_manifests (after running repo init), the remove all the hardware sources that you don't need (eg omap and intel stuff), plus you can also set the clone-depth to 1. I'll let you google how to use local manifests, but even then you're likely to go over the 30GB limit you have. I have heard rumors of being able to download just the files but I don't know how well that works/where the thread is.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hertell:
The problem is that the recovery does not recognice /data as an partition, and i get an error which says "unknown partition" or something similar.

Is there a way in finding out which device my sd-card is? Being able to do that should most likely fix these errors.. Then i'm pretty sure that things will work out :)

Extracting the original rom-zip-package, and using apktool to extract and re-pack the framework-res.apk-file should be fine as long all the needed info really is in the framework-res.apk-file. The recovery isn't checking for any signatures (or i did not get an error when installing the modifield package), so this saves loads of work and headache when not having to recompile the whole thing..

But the again if the compilation of the rom-package relies on the fstab-files, and alters setting etc when building it, then definitively this will not work out.

This is good news. I'll check what i can limit out. Feels a bit pointless that everyone is wasting huge amounts of bandwith when downloading the sources, and they just build packages for one device..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xc-racer99:
It should be noted that recovery probably uses a different fstab than the main one (ie it probably uses recovery.fstab as opposed to fstab.semc)

From a terminal, run the "mount" command, also run "ls /dev/block/mmc*" and see if there's both an mmcblk0 and an mmclk1 one there.

I think the only place that the build system uses the fstab files is when it creates partition images so it know whether to make them as a yaffs2, ext4, or f2fs image so I think you should be good there.

This is good news. I'll check what i can limit out. Feels a bit pointless that everyone is wasting huge amounts of bandwith when downloading the sources, and they just build packages for one device..[/QUOTE]
