To be honest, I don't know that :D

I had no data plan before my S7. So I had mobile data most of the time disabled. Here and there I enabled them for a short period of time for some whatsapp but it worked without any problem. :eek:

Hi guys, this option in recovery "System reset (keep media)" will reset the system and leave all the data intact? my phone have a problem (the programs are crashing and always rebooting)... I want to wipe the system partition but, i'm far away from my pc (to flash the rom, sideload, etc...). A need a solution right away... Any Help?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wutzin:
As far as I know, this will wipe your data partition (and the cache partition) - so you will lose all your apps, all your settings etc. The only thing that will NOT be deleted is the preinstalled ROM apps, and any fotos/mp3s you might have on your SD card...

Mike, I have been trying for days now to download the latest nightly from Basketbuild by clicking on the Download-Link on the LegacyXperia homepage. However, I always get "planned maintenance" from Basketbuild. Thought it was weird that the maintenance was taking so long - turns out if you search for LegacyXperia on Basketbuild.com, you can easily find and download - but the link you use on https://legacyxperia.github.io is wrong!

So: you should fix the "Download" link on https://legacyxperia.github.io - currently it points to:

https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia (broken),

but the correct link is:

Ok, for the sake of my good data, i will wait until i reach my pc :).... Thanks Bro :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pcfreaxx:
at this moment its my only mobile. (i bricked my xperia z1) so i'm a little bit afraid to try all options. easiest way to tweak performance is a custum kernel to set cpu speed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dragongreen:
Ok, so, I reached my pc :) and i wiped the system partition and cache but with no success :( ... The problem remains the same, so i changed the micro sd card, flashed the rom, and everything is running great. So now i need to recover my data on that micro sd card, like my contacts, etc... Tried to put my micro sd card on linux (Ubunto) but it says that i have no permission to access the files.... So, I need to retrieve my data and then i will wipe the micro sd card and put it back again on the phone. Any help? Or is there any way that i can fix this problem (everthing is craching... if i try to launch a program, the phone reboot by itself) on that micro sd card?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Permission denied probably means you need to mount the sd card as root user, try "sudo nautilus" or whatever file manager ubuntu uses nowadays:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dragongreen:
Ok thanks bro, i will try this. :good:

mobile data is not working. any solution guys?

yes that fixes the issue
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RiyuuNa:
Um.. I can't seem to .. The rom.. Okay..

In adb, before I flash the img.. My phone is detected.. after I typed "adb devices".. But after I flash the img, from the rom.. It can't detect my phone.. What should I do? I'm getting "error : device not found".. After I flash the img, reboot to recovery.. then do Reset, clear data, system & something.. after that, I .. the adb sideload? Yeah.. I tried unplug & plug .. Nothing, it still can't detect my phone..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
How is the streaming performance (YouTube, other sites...)?

I'm thinking about unlocking my phone through Omnius-Server, and I wouldn't like if it lagged a lot during video playback.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] janolucero:
load very fine youtube at least, haven't tried another app yet...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Does it make a sound when you plug it in? It might be a problem with the drivers... Search up ADB drivers and install them and it should work...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RiyuuNa:
Aww! Yeah you're right.. PROBLEM with the drivers. THANK YOU! I already installed it.. The ROM works, great. I love it.

BUT! Problem, I don't know. Most rom I installed, ROOTED. This one, no? Sorry, this question is just.. Erghh.. & one more thing, the mic on my ST15i doesn't work like before.. I'M ACTIVE on a singing app called 'SMULE', so.. I tried to sing, the mic can still detect my voice, I mean.. There are sounds of me singing, but it's like.. LOW VOLUME, I already change my voice volume to MAX.. But still It's not loud enough like.. BEFORE I INSTALLED the ROM ( Is there any way to increase the volume? I noticed, when I call someone, they can't hear my voice.. But I can hear theirs ).. and .. When I record my voice using the Sound Record.. It's kinda LAGGY, like.. My voice, it's like.. "M-M-My-My N-N-Name I-I-I-Is R-R-Ri-Ri-Ri-yu-yuu-yuu-yuu".. That's it..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Alright, so, I can only help you now with the root problem, since I haven't yet unlocked my bootloader (I will in about 10 days, when I get home). To get root, you need to go to Settings, then scroll down to Build Number, tap that 7 times, now go back to Settings. You will see Developer settings. Click on it. Then inside developer settings is an option called "Root access." Click on it, and select "Apps and ADB." It should work now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
On my ST18i my experience was not good at all! YouTube was laggy as hell and everything stuttered.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
That kinda sound like my Galaxy Fame experience with CM12.1... I don't know what I should install...

CM13 uses SDcard as storage, so I would like that

CM11 is faster, but limited storage space... Is there a way I could get CM11 to use SDcard as internal storage (except Link2SD)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Yes, there it is (link to commit from msm7x30 gerrit). But the point is - nothing can beat mtd in terms of performance. With an emulated storage on cm11 You will get the same YouTube experience as with cm13 ;) However, you may try gapps-less cm13 with microg - no stutters, everything works but requires some time to set up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Alright, thank you. I think I've made up my mind. I'll use cm13 rather than cm11. However, I've opened the link you've given me, and, I'm sorry for being such a noob, but how do I download it? I'm not very familiar with anything there written... Nevermind, figured it out...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
Hi,

is this the link from where i can download the latest stable or nightly ROM? I'm current using Current Beta Version: 20160227

Beta Release Date: 2016-02-27. The site is down for maintenance. My Xperia Arc is very slow, battery drains very quickly and there is overheating. So i thought i need to update to some latest version and see if there is some improvement.

https://s.basketbuild.com/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:
I'm sorry but I have. I always get the message

'could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/....., assuming'

during sideload.

Nevertheless it seems to work. But on first boot I am stuck with the pulsing cm logo. Right now I am trying again with a second SD card, a 32 gb sandisk UHS III card. First was a slow 8 gb noname card. (mango, win 7 64 bit)

Edit: Doesn't seem to make a difference.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] intruder16:
Here's your solution.

TL;DR, Format your SD card in fat32 partition as "Primary" not "Logical". Then attempt flashing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:
Thanks, but same message during sideload again. It comes even when I let the sd card unformatted.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
In the installation it says:

"advanced > wipe system partition

NOTE: this will format the card to F2FS if necessary, and create /data and /data/media on it.

/data/media is used to emulate an SD card"

But it doesn't seem to do this if you have no partition on the sdcard (earlier in the instructions it says it will). Instead you get a file not found error when it tries to create the f2fs partition.

If you use the official sd formatter then the partition will not start at the beginning of the disk, I'm not sure whether f2fs will perform quicker if it starts where the fat32 partition starts or whether it is best from the beginning of the disk. I was hoping that the recovery would just do it and save me the worry.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] intruder16:
Did you wipe /data, /cache & /system before flashing? Doing that will create f2fs filesystem in your SD crad necessary for ROM installation.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
DELETE all your Partitions first. Then Apply.Next, FORMAT your entire sd card to EXT4 and set it to PRIMARY. Then follow the instructions in the WIKI.

I did sideload the system formatting tool.zip just before the ROM just for a safety. So far i have not encountered any problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:
I did:

Boot to Recovery

factory reset > full factory reset

Wipe cache

advanced > wipe system partition

But here is the problem. After that I still have FAT32 filesystem (primary, active).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] brendy13:
okay, first using adb 1.0.32 version, and if device not found use adb driver to fix it, here

that's it? dang.. first try using root explorer get fc hahaha.. that's way i tought didn't work..

how about flashing from recovery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
I couldn't get it to work without a partition on the sdcard at the start, when I used the official sd formatter for windows (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/) first and then followed the instructions then it allowed me to sideload without errors. I would do a full format using erase and size adjustment on, to make sure you are using the entire sd card and it should reset the card so it's fast.

Partition Wizard is recommended, but it was a pile of fail when I tried using it for Lollipop as it couldn't fill the whole card or put the partition where I told it to. I don't know if it was something about my computer or sd card, for all I know it affected everyone and they just didn't care. Instead I used adb with a cm11 recovery to partition it, if I'm bored then I might do the same thing again.

I'd prefer being able to start with a blank card, because then everyone would be starting from exactly the same point & we wouldn't have so many posts saying to create a primary partition instead of logical. cest la vie.

ext4 isn't recommended anymore.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
I also thought the same and tried booting with F2FS once , with the latest build. Even the Launcher was laggy. Switched back to ext4 and its smooth as ever. It's different for each card, so there is no mistake in trying...... Moreover, stability is what is important for our legendary phones.. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cajhin:
To clarify:

The installation says early on that you must "Partition your SD card with exactly 1 partition".

The recovery stuff can take care of formatting to F2FS, but it does NOT handle partitioning.

If you have 0, 2 or 27 partitions on your SD card, installation will fail. You MUST have 1 partition.

I'm not sure if the wiki should be clearer on this point.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
Guys, the Wiki is as clear as it can get. Refer it clearly and understand what it means before posting anything.

And the OP instructions are as that of cm11. Please dont follow that and post unnecessary questions.

Hope [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] notices it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] intruder16:
"It was a pile of fail" because you forgot to follow the instructions. Agreed that Partition Wizard is not a great Partition manager. But you cannot expect everybody to use GParted or whatever expert software there is. I bet the first question will be "Where can i find the link to Gparted for Windows? Pleaseeeee Help!!!!!!"

That'll drastically increase the chances of having more useless posts. Everybody wants to install this fast and get this over with. Partition Manager is very to use and that's why it is mentioned in the OP.

No offence but if you or anyone else just read before attempting anything there won't be any issues.

The reason why there are specific instructions mentioned in the OP is because "they just work" with minimum hassle!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ftaios:
Again, a million thanks to Mike and the LX team for this excellent rom, very smooth on haida.

Two minor bugs: a) enabling 180o rotation and actually rotating, freezes the phone. b) settings > memory > apps started on boot FCs.

Finally, when phone is locked, there is almost no drop in battery; when using the phone, even in lowest brightness, battery drains fast (small price to pay for smoothness??).

Best.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:
Nonsense. Two FAT32 formatted cards were not formatted to f2fs. As well as two unformatted card. Now I used an Ext 4 formatted card and sideloaded systemformatting tool . Don't know what did the trick, but now I don't get error message while sideload.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cajhin:
hey, don't be so hard on esemef - he clearly has read the instructions. I've changed them to make the difference between partitioning and formatting clearer.

rotation issues: Mike wrote further up this page "Rotation issues should be fixed in next build."

"apps started on boot FCs": please reboot and see if you can recreate the error. Haven't seen this before.

Battery: Google has worked on waking up the device as little as possible.

For me, the battery in stand-by mode is the best ever.

During usage, the screen is battery killer #1, the Android system doesn't matter that much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
That is what I did and told you to do. And it worked :silly:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:
Yes. And where could I find this in the instructions? It's there for 25 minutes now. So don't tell me I'm too stupid to read.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bykidi:
you can use external software to lower your CPU Freq (currently 1.4Ghz). this will decrease performance but affect your battery.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Before begging for a CM14.0 for the Arc S I would prefer a working CM13.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
I remember someone begging for a new release of CM13.0 without bugs, a lot of pages before (and Mike's answer), but I don't see anyone doing that in this page. I'm using CM13.0 as my daily driver on my coconut since day 1 (mainly home builds) and I don't complain, so if you want a working CM13.0 make your own changes, build yourself and stop whining.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thinhx2:
Notice: now source code of android 7.0 nougat can build with device 6.0
[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] good luck

I dont know in future,android 7 update and dont build with device 6.0( will need time to update source device)

P/s: sony neo l run cm11 very smooth only camera not work( but ewith cm13,camera can take picture)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Stop whining? I don't beg for it and didn't few pages ago. The biggest problem is the difference between asking and whining. It's a thin grade between it, that's for sure.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Ok, now we are off topic for good and I think that moderator should delete all these posts. I was talking about this. And obviously there is no difference between posting news and begging.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I'm guessing CM13 will be very slow with the stock 8GB class 2 SDcard? I don't have anything else right now...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thinhx2:
need class 6 and up bro
[Xperia Arc Android Development] honeycakehorse:
I'm afraid class 6 is not enough! My (old) class 10 card was much to slow. I recommend UHS-class.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Thanks. I guess I'll need to get something faster... they're pretty expensive here...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
Make sure to get one with high random access read and write speeds, not just high class. Just get a Samsung EVO or a Sandisk Ultra, they aren't more expensive than the ****ty no-name cards, so no reason not to get one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Alright, thanks for the tip.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bykidi:
meanwhile there is new cm-14.0 branch on LX github
[Xperia Arc Android Development] trax7:
Link pls?

Can someone give me a link on a private message? I've been waiting almost two days to download it from basketbuild and I need the phone... :/ Also, are you guys happy with the performance/stability/battery life of this ROM? Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: I found some links in Android File Host, though the dates aren't the same (ex. 30.03 or 16.08-ota) but the kernels aren't letting me go into recovery of neither build. CM11 is the same. Only some old ROM I found on my hard drive lets me into recovery. I've tried everything including fastboot erase system... :/

EDIT 2: Found my way and fixed the situation. All is good now, waiting for the ROM to finish first boot.

We have resolved any issues with file restoration as we stated yesterday. Rather than bring the site up temporarily, or experience any other issues, we have opted to relocate to a new datacenter to provide better service and reliability. If everything goes to plan, we will be back up tomorrow due to the short delay in physically moving our main server. Thank you again for everyone's patience and support as always!

Good day everyone, Im just new here in xda, can someone tell me how to flash sony music by pexomod in cm13...

I have tried flashing in recovery but after rebooting my phone there is no sony music installed, I also tried adb sideload but same results, any help would be appreciated. Thank you guys :D

by the way my phone is Xperia Neo V
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
This mod (as the most mods in XDA) uses busybox. Our ROM uses toybox instead. So, if you haven't busybox installed (there are many installers in Google Play), or you don't want to, then you can edit the updater script inside the zip replacing the word "busybox" with "toybox". I suppose you have already signed the zip before flashing (because there is no option in CM recovery to disable signature verification), if not this is very handy tool for this job.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] somebloke:
It might not be the latest, but I thought I'd downloaded the proper CM13 a few weeks ago before the host died, flashed it tonight from stock and it booted to Android 4.2 so it must have been the wrong file. Anyway I found another but the zip wouldn't install, (then I deleted the wrong one, was stuck in a bootloop and panicking slightly) then I realised I hadn't reflashed the boot.img from the *new* zip. Flashed that, did the zip again & booted to 6.01 and all is good. Just messing about with the right gapps now.

ps.. I've broken 3 Z3c and 2 Z5c, but this great little thing just keeps on going.
