I've changed default size of zram from 160 mb to 200 mb and system seems to work faster :)

Also disabling background apps help a lot
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
It's a Kingston 16GB one, so that isn't really no-name... I'm trying out older ROMs now (2.3-4.3) since they seem to run faster, and don't really require a fast SD.

Thanks, I saw you uploaded them on AFH so I downloaded them from there.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mbdroidsony:
How did you do that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
[MENTION=4509774]mbdroidsony[/MENTION] install kernel adiutor and go to virtual memory section than set ZRAM to 200 mb

EDIT: you can check size of ZRAM in diskinfo from Google Play
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mbdroidsony:
Hi EugenStanis, can you please post a diskinfo screenshot?

Hello [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] and everyone, sorry for asking this: but how do I flash the 14.1 kernel back after flashing the 14.1 rom and gapps using the 14's boot.img? Do I fastboot the boot.img just like the regular method?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
Yes exactly like you said
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
Anyone pls give me cm14 boot.img ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
It's in the .zip file, just as it is with any other ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdrianDC:
LegacyXperia test pre-release : For building test purposes and for those interested in a preview of Nougat on the 2011 Xperia devices,

I built all devices (including the work in progress commits needed to build and to fix issues) : https://mega.nz/#F!bt0VzQDA!6OD6YFjCKYUkX6GRhNOBDg

These are here for testing purposes and no guarantee of usability, stability or else will be given until further work is done on our side.

Also note the inbuilt recovery might not work for now, if so try using the CM-13.0 boot.img to flash the ROM, then install the new boot.img.

Also please do not rehost the builds as they are meant to be removed once the next build batch is ready to start.

Hi, what's the best way to install cm14.1 from cm13?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
I knew mate, but there's no point to download whole cm14 if u need just its boot.img to flash cm14.1. I've insidently delete it from my HDD.

So please, someone who have downloaded cm14 can upload cm14 boot.img... Ofcuz many people here need it.

Thanks in advancd.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Instead of posting this you could download it yourself. Many people need it? No, no one needs it because all the others are downloading the package again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mbdroidsony:
I've got plenty of bandwidth. Send the link and i'll download it and upload what you need.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
Yes, please mate, u know what i mean...

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767101999

Then just extract the boot.img from the zip & upload it here..

Many thanks..

Having an awesome time with the Test build. I really think no other phone, this old still got to see full blown nougat on it. Its really really amazing ! Take a look at the official cm14.1 builds, just a handful of the officially supported phones has received their nightlies.....

Look at us, :cool: ,we are 6 years old, still up and running with the latest and greatest...

Now, about my experience..

Its been literally buttery smooth UI until now. And im beginning to feel like its giving me same load times as that of cm11 builds.. :fingers-crossed:

I know its really early to say about these bugs i found:

1. I didnt get to turn on Bluetooth

2. Doze on the Go doesnt seem to be acting? Im getting poorer battery life than cm13 with gapps (im using cm14.1 without gapps, will try gapps+build soon)

Thats pretty much it, im not demanding for a stabler build, i mean, i could live with this !

After all, now its time to show everyone and say, "Dude, its got nougat :cool: "

Thank You guys, for everything !

P.S. I tried donating to mike for the vps, but it seems that my card cannot make the transaction... aaargh

EDIT: [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] , I think it is time for a new thread for cm14.1...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Anyone else on cm13 on SK17i mini pro, getting the issue of slow phone wakeup on receiving calls? (sometimes takes 10 or so rings before the phone goes from a blank screen to showing caller ID and answer options). Plus similar issue with texts messages, either not showing notifications or making incoming text message sounds/tones, so unaware that messages have been received until physically going in to the text inbox.

Anyone know of any fixes? Or if I should be reporting it on Github?

Any and all help appreciated
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
I have same problems m8, we have to wait for better optimization which should come with next bulids
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Ahh, ok, fair enough.

I did try some previous possible solutions of changing the CPU governor from interactive to ondemand, via nofrills CPU and taking phone, contacts and messaging off of battery optimisation.

Which does seem to have helped a little (cutting the rings from 10 to about 5 or 6) But that is still pretty slow and it hasn't helped with messages.

Do you think the issue needs to be posted on the Github?

What device are you running cm14 on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mcboy4:
Hey there everyone,

I've been trying to sideload through ADB for some time, but I keep on getting this 'error: closed' message. The device is detected, but commands like 'usb' or 'shell' just keeps on displaying the error. How do I get over this?

I use an Xperia Ray.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cajhin:
Do 'adb version' to verify it is 1.0.32

ADB initially does not work in Recovery. The only thing that works is 'adb sideload <file>' after you choose update...sideload in the recovery
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
The UHS cards that some people are using appear to have an erase size of 4mb, but by default f2fs assumes 2mb. This will cause write amplification issues.

You can find out what the card reports like this (although the card can lie about the size):

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11258&p=123670

I think using mkfs.f2fs -s 2 may help people with 4mb erase sizes. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/10/79 (this page mentions alignment, but I found documentation that says f2fs will re-align it's data structures within the partition anyway but of course that documentation could be wrong).

I've "just" need to figure out HOW with a windows laptop and an android phone, that I can actually specify that parameter so I can see if it makes a difference.

and the ikml page gets the award for most obvious statement ever "In the long run, we should automate those tests and make them part of mkfs.f2fs". I suspect we'd have a lot less people complain about laggy performance with f2fs if everyone had their cards configured properly (it's a pity the LX instructions don't cover doing that).

This game was really smooth on cm12.1. On cm13 its hanging and sometimes it goes 0,5-1 sec back. This is quite annoying. I use bluetooth ear buds, maybe that is the culprit.

I will try with wired ear buds to see if that makes any change.

To everyone who wants to install LegacyXperia CyanogenMod 13 without any errors.

Protip: Before sideloading rom, first flash system formating tool and data formating tool!!!

And do all wipes, its always needed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mcboy4:
Thanks for replying! I didn't know that only the 'sideload' will work, so I decided to format my SD card through GParted... rather than sideload.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Well, mine booted for about 3-5 minutes... at the first try. :good:

Did you have any trouble when sideloading?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] exzemat:
Hello

First, many thanks to mike !

no problem to install CM13 and miniGapps, with sideload.

Very smooth rom and happy to use it on my mango.

no tested bluetooth for the moment, but tree cons:

- doesnt support brighter led (like CM11 had), or no find it...

- photo apps crash in panorama mode

- can't access to data on windows (sd card format in f2fs) : phone is monted, but can't see any data.

However, I can access, see and transfert data on linux.

Moved to F2FS. I formatted the entire sd to FAT32 and followed the Wiki. Yes, the lagginess disappeared after sometime. Seems like I was not patient the first time :silly: . The performance seems little bit improved than ext4. Hope its not placebo :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] KartzXDA:
Turn off animations and transitions in developer options in settings menu for increased smoothness.

At the start, the ROM seems to be lagging. But I promise, after a while, the ROM will be very smooth.

Follow the detailed instructions from the LX wiki page to install ROM. This ROM is the best.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lmux93:
- can't access to data on windows (sd card format in f2fs) : phone is monted, but can't see any data.

Connect your phone to pc, go to dev options, under select usb configuration select charging, then select mtp again, after that it's going to show up in your pc as internal storage

Running cm-13.0-20160227-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-iyokan.zip on the Xperia Pro extremely smoothly so far with Gapps. A much better experience for me than 12.1 was which was somewhat laggy. Even Google Maps runs semi-functionally which is amazing.

The only thing I bumped into that users could potentially run into was that in MiniTool Partition Wizard on Windows, when you're setting up the SD card, you have to remember to make the SD card partition both primary and unformatted. I only set it unformatted without thinking and the recovery crashed at boot.

After I figured out my error it was all smooth sailing from there. Again, feels much faster than 12.1. I could use this.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
1 - This really doesn't matter.

2 - The phone has a very low amount of ram and it is mostly used up by the system, so there's around 100mb left for apps (which isn't enough).

3 - There's a pretty big chance you've had this phone for a while (2011/2012) and since the battery has powered the phone for 4-5 years it has probably been worn out, meaning it won't last as long as it did at first.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mhdsam:
2)Then what suggest you for me that i can run all new apps?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
As you aren't running it on a mini pro, it seems like it may be down to the diddy memory/processing speed of the mini pros that are not helping the "slow call wake up" situation.

Darn my need to want and have a small phone. :p If only Sony would make a newer better mini pro. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Personally, I've found that disabling zRam and using it as swap speeds it up.

Here's how to do it:

1. Enable Terminal (Settings > Developer Options > Enable "Local Terminal")

2. Exit Settings and go into Terminal

3. Once you're in Terminal, type the following:

su
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
exit

4. Tap the three dots in the top right corner and select "Close Window" and exit the app

If you're having problems with su, go into Developer Options and set "Root Access" to either "Apps only" or "Apps and ADB".

Where are we supposed to post CM14.1 Test Builds Errors/Bugs?

I am using Urushi and upon updating from Marshmallow, the UI has become super-smooth and is much more responsive without lag. I thank the developers from the bottom of my heart for what they are doing for the device.

Though, I would like to report my experience with possible bugs or errors:-

1. Touch is highly sensitive. Even when you put your finger steady on a scrollable screen, it starts vibrating(the screen, not the device). If only it could be reduced by about 10%, it would work great I guess.

2. First thing I did after installing CM 14.1, is to try out Google Assistant, however even after trying all the methods, I couldn't get it to work. Then I went out to check if even Google Now on Tap is working or not, and it didn't properly.

I understand the device is still in development, and that's why I would like to help the developers finding bugs. So, it'd be great if I can be pointed to the right place where I can report them instead of here.

Thanks. :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
I dont think so m8. Mini pro & lt18i have same 512mb. Maybe lt18i user just fortunately has dev's priority own device.. :p

U can try to disable 'lookup' feature at phone app, maybe will help a bit.

Did u use haystack to enable signature spoofing ? What module u use to replace the microG store (phonesky) since it doesnt work yet as its states in their site?

For me main annoying bugs is video recording result still cant play back yet..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mhdsam:
Excuse me pratyush2173.and...(for me-coconut)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] azam426:
I didn't use haystack nor any modules.

I built my Own Build

I did apply the signature spoofing patch to the code.

If you build your own, i will give you the 3 files i edited for the signature spoofing.

I didnt built any rom, man i've followed u since u leave A3000-H. It's stucked suffering at jellybean, oliver did bad work since his corrupted the partitions.

Can u pls just give 3 executable files to be placed just like Pstore.apk ? Tia.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azam426:
Oopz.. Yeah i remember u from A3000-H

Anyways, you cannot replace the files after compile. U should apply the patch before u compile.

what is the Model of ur Xperia? i will try to compile a test build for u with Signature spoof.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Ahh, fair enough.

I already have the "lookup" features all turned off, but sadly no difference.

Have you tried to disable battery optimization for calls and messaging? If not, give it a try! Go to battery settings, tap the three dots at the upper right corner and select which apps or services you don't want to get optimized.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Thanks for the tip/info but, Yep, tried that too, still not really any better.

So far tried:

turned off battery optimisation

turned off call lookup

changed CPU to "ondemand"

But call are still pretty slow to wake up the phone (better than it was, its gone from 10- 11 rings down to 5-6 rings, so the tips and changes have likely helped a bit, but its still pretty slow) and also still missing texts (not making sounds or vibrations and not showing notifications on incoming/new texts when phone is in deep sleep, so I'm unaware I have received one until I physically look in my messages)

Following Commits merged along with the signature Spoof patch..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
If you REALLY do not care about battery life, try setting the governor to PERFORMANCE. This is not recommended if you want your phone to last as long as possible since it keeps the CPU at the highest frequency at all times (you also might want to change the frequency from 1GHz to 1.4GHz (if you haven't done that already)).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
Thanks for this [MENTION=4273185]azam426[/MENTION]...

Did u include MicroG in this build since it's 2MB larger than Adrian's build ?

No. It is a fresh build with Latest Commits merged as shown in the attached picture in my previous comment.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Thanks, I will give it a go and see how badly the battery drains, as I barely get a full day as it is (currently from 9am til 11pm I am down to around 15 - 20% and that's with very minimal use eg: 1 phone call ((eventually when it wakes up. lol)) and 1 or 2 texts) On gingerbread it could last 2 days on minimal use.

I don't mind having to charge my phone nightly, but it would be great for my phone to last the whole day even after/with some use.

But I shall see how it goes, whether it helps calls and texts and how quickly the battery drains and report back (in case anyone else wanted to know if it helps or not.):)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
An other thing you can try, is to always keep dialer and messaging in the recent apps list. Just a thought...

great！

I had successfully installed the last cm14.1 on my arc s, that's fantistic.

actually when i tried to install cm13 few days before, i fault when do a data wipe, i cannot format the sd card to f2fs, but this step had been done using last cm14.1 boot.img, so if anyone has any problem on cm13, just try cm14.1 directly.

I just found an crash information when do some test, but it has no impress to use.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
In recovery of CM14.1 you cannot view logs because it crashes as soon as you try to open one. Then it just goes back to the home screen.

Not a big deal but I just wanted to report it.
