I have 2 satsuma (an old official 4.0.4 working perfectly), and a 2nd one on which I experimented a bit, and installed LOS 14.1. I confirm I observed the same problem with the GPS (only discovered this recently, I did not paying much attention to it before). About battery though, drain seemed to be normal from my point of view.

Aaaaah, If only someone would work actively on an Android Go on such devices :D ... I was tempted to look at it at some point (it's why I got a 2nd one for experimenting), but I don't have any practical experience about Android dev, time is flying, and the task seems so big ... :/ I wonder if it would be """easy""" (triple quotes :p) to just try porting the actual LineageOS patches to Android Go, or maybe writing a kind of "compatibility layer" to extract device specific stuff (as patches ? binary blobs ?) from old ROMs to Treble.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] trax7:
Treble - no way. Very difficult to happen on our devices, it needs separate space for a /vendor partition for all the Sony blobs. That said - it might be possible but we need an expert imo :D

The hacks just to be able to boot LOS 14.1 are numerous so it might be hard to simulate the same on Android Go (a different base), it's like starting all over again...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deadhbeefh:
About /vendor, I found the following hack from phhusson: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/tree/master/no-vendor , which maybe could help.

Is someone aware of some kind of official "migration guide" from pre-Treble to Treble ?

I'm really sorry I'll read the 258 pages.... But...since this seems to be a Los discussion atm can please anyone tell me if CM 13 build is working/ stable or what I should go for if I just want a stable phone. I was running cm10 slim. Was really happy with it.... But to be honest 4.0.1 is just not doing the job anymore :( app compatibility wise
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
If you want to best working rom for daily use, you should go to CM 11 for Xperia 2011.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hydraxon:
Wanted to install it today, but BasketBuild's site is down and there are no mirrors :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Deagon:
Looks like the basket build page is working again and the links are back up. I was going to post a copy of the rom i had but i couldnt be sure it wasnt corrupt since it came off a hdd known to have bad sectors. I was trying to find a copy of the md5 sums to check first and noticed the orignal links were back up and running.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] p32929:
I've been using this ROM in my Xperia Mini(My daily driver) for almost a year now. Its a little bit buggy in my smultron, but way more stable than KitKat or Lollipop ROMs. So, I wanna thank you guys for all your amazing works...

Just a question: Is there an active development going on for Android Oreo for Xperia 2011 devices?

I mean, Is there any chance of getting Android Oreo in Xperia 2011 devices?

Thanks...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hackintosh5:
No. AFAIK there is no-one developing this device any more. I could try to port Oreo Go Edition, but honestly, even that will probably be unusable. I'd stick to Marshmallow if I were you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Hi,i ordered one A1 SD Card and will try this Rom next Days :D

LineAgeOS on the Xperia Play sound realy good for me.

Naturaly i will delete all unused things for a faster Experience then.

in the Moment i use Legacy Xperia CM11 and it work fine for me exept the Camera.

I use it with PSX Emulator,Snes Emulator,Telegram Messenger and Whatsapp :)

btw. Is the Camera working? :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexdonwarez:
Great work man.. Keep up the good work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
When you write something to the SD card the controller maps logical block with physical block from the erase pool with smallest write counter.

SD cards make use of wear leveling only with free erase blocks because they utilize the dynamic wear leveling algorithms; the static ones implemented in SSD. Well, there are SD cards with ridiculously high cost, which probably combine static and dynamic alg.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
have you tried yourself? Is it succesfull ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ploµf:
Full reboots and always with wifi on i think which generates high cpu load... will try no zram...

There is a lot of error in logcat i will post it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexander-n8hgeg5e:
Is your phone clean of mad apps? Maybe some apps get active if they see the internet connection.

I switched of my swap and i'm back at zram.

My phone is stable I think. Can't remember the last reboot, (in my case only half reboots).

With LX-CM-12.1 i had much more of these half reboots.

I think I had only one or no of these reboots with this rom. Can't remember properly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] geri268:
TWRP

Anyone interested in this? I think it would be a better idea to use this.

You can make a factory reset without wiping /data/media

For now, I fixed mounting the filesystems, and now I would appreciate some help to get it working. Install ZIP feature is not currently working, so I wont release it until it is fixed.

All you can do is wiping the partitions and installing ZIPs from sideload.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
[MENTION=3424755]geri268[/MENTION] Can you provide a link here? Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
It depends on the card but the general principal of flash is that you can turn any bit from a 1 to a 0, but you can only turn a 0 into a 1 by running an erase cycle on the block. On a UHS card a block you may have an erase block size of 4mb. So if you write 2mb to the card then it will have to read the other 2mb and write the entire 4mb to the erased sector. Some cards don't do wear levelling at all, so will write it back to the same place. Some can keep track of just one open block, others can keep track of six.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nikhildangui:
wow micomania u r Rocking... i regret selling my Xperia Neo V....

i never thought like someone would do such a great job giving Androdi 6 for 2011 Xperias..

Appreciated...ur hardwork and great work.....

Hey, when i upgraed to cm13 i formated the SDcard and deleted 2nd partition like the guide said

long story short, how i make a file on the emulated storage?

i downloaded shell terminal for toybox but didnt work i guess i miss something
[Xperia Arc Android Development] litemintx:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
Anyone have this problem too?

I tried to install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot", but it tell me: Installed sucessfully, 0 files copyied.

Any help?

Windows XP :(((((
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gocegi:
The rom becomes extra responsive if you limit background processes to 3 in the developers options menu
[Xperia Arc Android Development] geri268:
Currently I'm getting this when I want to compile the rom with "mka -j5 bacon"

If I compile it with mka -j5 recoveryimage, I get a recovery.img file what I can use with "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Sideload is working, but it is a bit buggy. It reports false status. If someone is willing to help, I can release the recovery.img for the Xperia Neo (hallon). (It works on the Neo V (haida) too).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Yasser Stark:
Here are the ADB files, extract them, hit SHIFT and right click---- Open command window here

that's all :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Superrman:
anyone can help me with swapfile?

i remmber it also failed on CM12.1 untill i make new partition

but its too late to make 2nd partition because the computer think the card us formatted now and doesnt let me create.

and swapfile on emulated storage dosnt work argument invalid (see attachment)

thanks you and sorry
[Xperia Arc Android Development] intruder16:
Are you using CM sources? CM source doesn't work very well with TWRP. Can you try using other source?

I'll make some space in my HDD for AOSP and try playing with TWRP. But no guarantees.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alexander-n8hgeg5e:
Whats that? Emulated storage? Don't know about it.

Your file is really small... You can create a file with

"dd" like this:

cat /dev/zero|dd of=filename_that_will_be_overwritten bs=1024 count=size_in_kbyttes

But caution! Pay attention where you write.

The zeros from cat /dev/zero will be redirected with "|" to "dd" and "of=file" means outputfile.

You can create a file in the /data directory.

And then mkswap it, like you did.

Check the dd command with

dd --help

to see if it is avaiable. my phone is off at the moment.

I disabled swap on my device, because i think the sdcard could be killed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lotuxete:
Hello,

[Xperia Arc Android Development] twelfth:
Decided to give this a try again after having no luck getting Windows to recognize my R800i and use the driver for it so I could adb sideload. (Fix? do it in Linux. Windows always has been and always will be garbage when it comes to drivers, fastboot and adb.)

Very amused to have Marshmallow on my Xperia Play... however, despite using a UHS1/Class 10 Samsung EVO Select MicroSD Card... the system is stupid laggy and slow. Given the age of the device and the limitations of MicroSD from that period, can anyone tell me if it would at all be beneficial in getting a faster MicroSD card? I can't even be sure if the device is capable of running the one in there at full speed. So I don't know if it's a card issue or a slot issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
There has been quite a lot of discussion about Micro SD cards in these threads in the past years. Indeed, the Samsung EVO seemed to be the preferred choice. I'm sure there are now slightly faster cards in terms of random access but I don't think they will help you much. This is one of the reasons I stayed with CM11.

For me, the biggest boost in responsiveness was removing GApps. Having very few apps so that practically nothing is running in the background and having a lot of free space also helped me quite a bit. That said, if you need anything more than calling/emails/calendar (and some very specific use cases) you should probably be looking into getting a newer phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] twelfth:
Alas... I don't use the Xperia Play for anything but games. And there really hasn't been anything else like it. I ended up putting Marshmallow on one device I believed I had bricked (turns out the real problem was Windows all along) and I didn't touch it for about 2 years before last night.

It's unusable. Good second or two lag between touch and response, often it slows down the more I use it... so I end up having to install an app, wait for it to finish, reboot, install the next app... otherwise the whole thing just stops working. Not quite sure how anyone thought this was usable unless they were having better luck with faster sd cards.

Perhaps I'll just stick to sideloading and f-droid for the mean time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harshabyn:
Hi. Currently I'm running cm13 on anzu. I'm using it as my daily driver, no issues so far. Why android go will be slower than cm13? Go version is optimized for low end phone right?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DroidArmy:
I posted my experiences with installing CM13, Lineage OS 14.1 and stock ROMs in this post. https://xdaforums.com/xperia-arc/general/tinkering-xperia-arc-s-november-2018-t3862822 take a look.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sjukfan:
Here's what I've done with my Xperia Ray and Xperia Mini Pro. I assume it works for all the 2011 Xperias. There's probably a way to do the same thing on windows but unfortunately I don't know what software and so on and so on.

Grabbed the unofficial Lineage 14.1 https://mega.nz/#F!bt0VzQDA!6OD6YFjCKYUkX6GRhNOBDg"]lineage-14.1-20170515-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-*

Downloaded SuperR's Kitchen https://xdaforums.com/apps/superr-kitchen/kitchen-superr-s-kitchen-v1-1-50-v2-1-6-t3597434

It's fairly straight forward, copy rom, unpack, deodex, build full rom zip.

Flashed boot.img and sideloaded the rom. Turned on android debug bridge.

Downloaded Haystack https://github.com/Lanchon/haystack and patched the room for signature spoofing. Again, read the example and then pull, patch hook, core, and finaly ui. Push and reboot. Remember to turn on signature spoofing under developer option.

This step isn't mandatory but I find it easier. Download F-Droid https://f-droid.org/ and add the microG repository https://microg.org/download.html . Then in F-Droid install microG service core and microG service framework proxy. While at it also install prefered location backend.

Right now there's a bug in microG so it won't get the correct rights for UnifiedNlp, grab NetworkLocation.apk from https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/releases and do this

adb root && adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/priv-app/NetworkLocation.apk

Get FakeStore from F-Droid and install your prefered Google play store alternative, I use Yalp store from F-Droid.

By now my bank apps work, Firefox is a bit heavy but works, Messenger Lite works like a charm. The only thing I can't get to work is Hangouts and Google Maps and other Google apps. It's not snappy, but neither is it stuttering.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Finaly i got it work.

Had Problems with the Windows10 Driver Signatures to install FastBoot Drivers for my XperiaPlay.

The LineageOS 14 work realy fine on my Xperia Play.

Unfortunaly no Root..but not needed here because there is no "Bloatware"

My working Apps:

E-PSXE Emulator,ES-TaskManager,Telegram Messenger,ZeamLauncher,OiFileManager,SimpleGallery,RNV-StartInfo,Whatsapp,Link2SD.

...

...and even Netflix...yay Netflix do work on my Xperia Play Phone.

Many many many Thanks for this Rom.

Can i make a Thread in the Xperia Play Section with your Agreement? :)

Work realy fine here :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
If you want root, you can flash this from recovery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Work fine now,thank you.

Even my beloved VLC Player work :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Little Update..all work fine exept Bluetooth.

For me its okay becaue i can connect

all my Audio Things with Cable.

Btw...i have ordered a 4500mah Battery over Ebay

for it and i am happy to use the XperiaPlay again for

my Daily Usage.

Again here thx for that Lineage Release :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Indeed, Bluetooth is a little buggy, but if you play a few times with the toggle switch on and off (from the Bluetooth settings, not the quick panel), finally it works and you can pair and exchange files (both send and receive work for me). Just sometimes you have to unpair and pair again.

About the battery, I would suggest to buy an original one, it would be a pity after all these years for your Xperia Play to die by Chinese battery, and believe me the capacity advertised is not real.... :silly:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Okay i will play with my "Toggle Switch" :)

Maybe it work liked you said.

No Problem..i never had Problems in the Past with Cheap Batterys.

I know...it have never realy 4500 mah....but i think around 4000.

In the Past i had this 4500mah Battery too but then my older XperiaPlay had Cable Problems with the Digitizer from

the Touchscreen and i bought another Phone (Samsung t-699)

...and i ever missed my XperiaPlay.

Thats why i bought another one to be nostalgic :)

But hey with Lineage 14.1 i have realy an Up to Date Phone exept the Cpu.

Thank you again for that Test Release.

A realy good Community here :)

Hi..its me again.

Is there any Way to activate OTG for DVB-T/Atsc Dongles with this Linage 14.1 Image?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
You WILL need an externally powered usb hub, as the phone cannot provide enough power for the dongle. Don't know if the kernel supports the dongle, just try :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
They are Low Power Devices for

Android Phones.

I know little bit from Linux and downloaded a Terminal for this Phone.

On my Samsung T-600 when i connect the Dongle then it try to Mount but the Kernel is too old on it.

On my Xperia...it simply happen nothing.

Not even a Message in Dmesg.

The Xperia Play rekognizes nothing but Charging/adb on this Port.

I tried some Tools like Otg Helper mentioned in this Forum but even it did not activate Anything with USB.

Had this on my OpenPandora and there i can activate OTG with modprobe g_cdc but this Command do not work in Android.

So my Problem is not yet Kernel/Power Related...

..it simply activate no USB Host Function.

Some Hints with Google Serach about Adb Shell SU and Insmod did not work too.

Sorry for my funny English :)

Maybe you have another Hint how to activate the Host Function.

Edit:

I installed Busybox yesterday too :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
2011 Xperias provide only 20-30 mA, USB 1.0 standard is 500 mA. Even many simple usb sticks need more than 30 mA. I would bet your dongle needs more than 100 mA...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Then i should have in Dmesg a Message with that low Power.

Same on Linux...

..when i put an normal Usb Dongle on the OpenPandora OTG Port then i see a Message in Dmesg like "not enough power"

But here nothing on the XperiaPlay.

Thats because my Question how i can powering/activating the OTG Host Function?

On the OpenPandora it work with.

sudo modprobe g_cdc

Hints from the Web did nothing help yet.

Do you know if the Kernel inside this Lineage can use OTG?

Maybe the OTG Host Modules are not compiled and installed?

Its interresting because many Users whish an OTG Function and it should be working but no One report it realy as working.

Its a hard Nut here :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Xperia PLAY is not capable of OTG connections. It's hardware limitation. With Arc or Neo You may try something, but with PLAY is as nothing is connected.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Didn't knew the Play is different to the other Xperia 2011 devices in this aspect, but you seem to be right: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2165219
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ingoreis:
Wohoo Xperia Play have no USB Host Function...by Hardware Side?

Thank you for gave me that interresting Information :)

Was just an Idea for using DVB-T2 Dongle.

Maybe i will try a Tivizen DVB-C Wlan Tuner [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION] with it.

With the right App it should work fine.

Thank you again for your Help here.

Hi sjukfan,

Any chance you could share deodex'ed ROM for mango (Xperia Mini Pro)?

I have tried SuperR's Kitchen as per you post but after sideloading zip I get :

mtd mount of /dev/block/mtd/by-name/system failed: Device or resource busy..

then there is no system to boot to..

Also has noticed that Deodex'ed zip is only 270MB ish when original was 360MB ish.. is that normal.. ?

no errors on superR's kitchen all looked as successfully build etc.. no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Its bit of nightmare to get 14.1 working on mango .. I mean with microG..(no gapps)

I managed to get it going with gapps and it initially runs perfect .. but after few day system becomes unusable..

I'm using fast A1 SD card btw.. system without gapps its really fast but I unfortunately need at least microG.. :/

Any advice/help will be much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Any Android Go Version in planning? I would love to see a LineageOS 14/15/16 build with android Go onboard :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
microphone gain is too low and sound stops during video recording

Hello.

I am running CM14 (almost stable and VERY fast!) on my SE Ray.

Using Adrian's fantastic ROM 'lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-urushi'.

VERY GOOD work, really !!!

JUST the following 2 problems I noticed (point 1 also at cm13):

1.) The microphone sensitivity for audio and video recordings is generally much too low. (not for calls!)

Which Android system file sets the mic gain? I would like to modify this setting. (or does this adaption work in another way?)

2.) Always after about 30...40 seconds of video recording the sound signal is not been recorded anymore. Just silence then. Really strange. There is no error message.

Does anybody of you know about this phenomena as well? Who could help to fix this bug?

Does anybody know about AdrianDC? He doesn't respond.

Is there still anybody supporting the SEMC 2011 devices?

Thank you very much for any help!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Hello Adrian,

Can you please send me or upload the boot.img to install the cm 13 ?

Cannot find any boot.img files that works...

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Can you please help me to get TWRP/Clockwordmod that works with Lineage OS 14.1 on Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V / MT11i / haida ?

I cannot find a boot.img that just works great...

Thank you so much, if you will help me !!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Just take this ROM: https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/LegacyXperia/haida .

The zip file contains the LX kernel (boot.img) including the TWRP recovery.

Install instructions you will find here: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-Marshmallow or here: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-arc/development/dev-2011-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3323975. (installation instructions of cm13 and cm14 are the same)

Have fun cause this version runs pretty fast (even faster than my stock ROM and has no limits anymore!).

And it will run also quite stable if you don't save money at the quality of the SD card. It is pretty important that it has no manufacturing faults...

If you have successfully installed everything please let me know if you have the same video recording problems that I have (described just above) at this ROM version.

Thank you.
