I have just installed Lineage 14.1 20170322, all seems ok for now, just a thing: I cannot see the arrows for network activity in the status bar, is it normal?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Farooq95:
I've done the same for Ray. Yes I also don't see any arrows.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
Hi

Pico open Gapps did not work on my smultron (keyboard always crashes, the phone becomes really slow).

Can you suggest an alternative and explain me how to install it? do you think installing a playstore.apk can be a solution?

I really only need play store. thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
For GApps you can use these made by [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] (don't forget to thank him). You can't use Playstore without Google services, unless you use μG. But there are alternatives like F-Droid and there is an app called Yalp Store, which let you download apps from Playstore, and if you want to synchronise your contacts and calendars there is an other app called DAVdroid. Just search...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] XDynamite:
After a couple day of use I have to say that this rom is not bad at all, but however there is always some lag and low memory problem. But the main problem is the ringing delay: when the phone is in deep sleep mode it takes even 30-40 seconds to wake it up (once it didn't awake at all), for me it's unacceptable. I think I'll return to CM11 unfortunately.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mirhl:
Only when the phone is sleeping?

Otherwise it smells similar to a bug other sony phones had been having long time ago.

In other news, I just made a remarkable necropost in the CM-HDMI thread, for everybody that still was interested.

EDIT: and in even crazier news, random guys claim to have half-assed fixes for ant+ & fm (maybe related to blobs update?)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Guys, does anyone have any idea if the project is abandoned or not? Because, the gerrit server http://review.msm7x30.org reports empty.

Never mind, is working now, but it gives this when try to apply the updates:

[FONT="Courier New"]ERROR: Server reported an error, or cannot be reached[/FONT]

Found it, it changed from http to https.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] XDynamite:
When the screen is on and in use there is no problem for what I could see, the phone rings quite fastly. Anyway Android 7.1.1 is too heavy for these phones, the user experience is very poor, even with a very fast microsd card.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mirhl:
Ok, in that case it's probably simply the phone having to swap out, as you correctly assume.

I wonder if anybody ever tried to measure minimum RAM usages across different android versions though?

For example, on my HTC explorer, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.4 all intriguingly seemed to require 130MB (of the 410-420 available to userland). And were it not for other unrelated graphical problems, I'd use the latter.

Lollipop almost

certainly

with ART is gonna have a huge impact (funnily, the speed added by saving cpu cycles at runtime, could be offset by the additional load for I/O bigger libraries causes).

I'd be interesting to quantify it I guess.

Also, maybe experiment with dex2oat filters? Interpret-only was already ditched.. Speed and space, who knows?

Batch forcing JIT for every app also sounds funny.

Help

I installed latest version for my iyokan from the given link.. Boot.img installed correctly,then adb sideload is giving me problems..As it reaches around 41% , it says signature verification failed..Error 21..

Now what to do? I tried installing earlier build also but for that one, twrp is hanging so its not letting me to proceed..

Help would be appreciated..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Have you modified zip?

Or sign zip with signing tool.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sirozan:
If i see correctly the rom from the link you quoted is for the wrong xperia phone, is says smultron not iyokan
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bittuvns:
Yeah, but in the device tree on that page, there is link for iyokan also..

Anyways, got it working finally after various permutations & combinations...

I came from kitkat version of LX , so the upgrade is fantastic..Performance is incredible..Rom is very smooth and have not seen not crashes for now..Battery part is the main thing that i have to look for..

Thank you guys for responses..Cheers :)

---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

I have not tried signing it,maybe will try it in future..But after many efforts,i got previous version to work..So that will do for now..Latest version is giving problem to others also,so i will wait for next release..

Thanks for the help :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bittuvns:
Try open gapps,latest and micro version..Do a clean wipe and then install and then wipe again..It worked for me..It srunning smooth,most things are working except AOSP keyboard which i disabled and downloaded multiling o keyboard..Now its working perfect..

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

Easy way of entering fastboot mode is boot into recovery and then boot into bootloader from there.. It works like charm if your bootloader is unlocked..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ITomaz:
I used gapps by mardon, it's compatible with all LX build :laugh:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=3845188]Flimzes[/MENTION], I guess you didn't format the partitions (step 4 in the instructions at the OP), as CM13.0 and CM14.1 use different partition layout from CM12.1 (flashing formating tool for CM12.1 was wrong).

So, flash boot.img from CM13.0, enter recovery and

format

(not wipe) the partitions with the correct order and follow all the steps correctly.

Cheers...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
By the way the stock firmware must be ST18i_4.1.B.0.587 before flashing CM 13 0r LOS

This link show full process of install CM 13 on Xperia Arc. It also work for all Xperia 2011 devices and for Lineage 14.1

https://www.leakite.com/2016/03/installing-cyanogenmod-13-marshmallow.html
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flimzes:
This is a good step in the right direction - I have indeed been wiping.

But I'm not able to find the difference - CWM offres me "Factory Reset", which offers me System reset, or Full factory reset.

In the advanced menu I'm offered the choice of "Wipe system partition"

So if this is not the correct way - how is it done?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
I had to download and reflash the kernel from CM13.0 to find out that CM recovery doesn't have this option, the first CM13.0 builds had CWM recovery instead, but these aren't available for downloading anymore. I guess the option "wipe system partition" includes the script for formating the partitions, you can have a look in LX wiki and follow the steps there.

Good Luck!

This is where i think the problem is..You shouldnt erase it..It was given in instructions somewhere i think to make sure that this erase thing is unticked..Try again flashing the boot.img with fastboot and then do the all the formating and wiping etc before flashing the rom..then flash the gapps by mordon or opengapps and in last just wipe delvik and cache,nothing else..Follow clearly and it should work this time i hope..

I then rebooted the phone again. and I'm being greeted by an infinitely flashing blue robot looking at me.

I'll let it sit overnight again, but my hopes are not up - this is the same procedure I've tried before.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] symish:
It did not enter from recovery neither....I had to change usb port and cable and then it worked.

By the way, lineageOS is the best rom ever tried on my smultron, smooth as hell.

I had a lot of problems with LX cm11 and 13, now this cm14 is nearly perfect, really happy with that.

Is there an official thread of it?

A couple of tips:

- this time when I formatted the microSD I chose to create a new partition in ext4

- I did not installed Gapps as I couldn't, Good choice as I'm using F-droid, DAVdroid, and yalp store which are much faster

hello，do xperia 2011 will have Android oreo？:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=3845188]Flimzes[/MENTION], I don't want to believe that you have fried your internal memory (flashing is done without errors, so NAND should be ok). Have you tried to copy anything from your PC to the two SD cards (make sure that they aren't corrupted)? When you created the partition did you specify that it should be "primary" and "not active"? You can download the zip again to make sure that is complete (check the MD5sum). Use different cables or different usb ports (I don't think that this is your problem). Have you tried to flash other ROMs? You can flash the stock ROM (ftf file with the flashtool) and start from scratch! I suppose that you have an Xperia Ray, since you flashed the baseband for this phone, make sure that you have downloaded the correct files!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flimzes:
Flashing CM11 works fine, and without issue, as well as restoring the sony baseband puts the phone back in a fully functional state.

Thus I do not expect this to be the fault of the usb cable, or the internal memory.

MD5 on my downloaded file:

They look the same to me.

Partition setup of SD-card, I don't know how to show or verify this more with partition wizard free - would it be better if I showed you the setup with gparted?

I formated the SD card to ntfs, and copied the CM-13 zip out, and did MD5 sum on it. Got the same sum as I got on the local drive.

Hi everyone,

i am absent from semc 2011 forums for a long time, and i want to experiment on my anzu.

I wanted to ask if there is any cm 14 rom(or lineage 14), and if someone has managed to build the 3.10 kernel from the sources over the msm7x30 github.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=2155614]TakisBeskos[/MENTION], in case you haven't found it already, take a look at page 204, AdrianDC has posted a link to a MEGA folder with some LineageOS-14.1 test builds for the whole 2011 line. I don't know about the 3.10 kernel, I don't recall any conversation if Mike or the other devs have tried.

[MENTION=3845188]Flimzes[/MENTION], from the photo it looks that your partition is primary, but I can't see if it is active or not, you had to scroll a little more to the right. You could check the internal memory for bad blocks (I don't know how to do this, ask Mr. Google). I can't think anything more to help you, sorry.

Edit: at basketbuild there is an extra folder with a system-formatting tool, but I don't remember for what it was for, maybe it's the same with the tool for CM12.1 that you used, you can compare them, but try it in your own risk.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulholland:
[MENTION=5565731]azakosath[/MENTION]:

Could you give a hint which Google services you have disabled? I had a look with the 3Ctoolbox, but there are really plenty.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
I had disabled all the services related to wearables and 4 or 5 more which were starting when the screen was turned on for about 20 secs and then they were stopping again, but I don't remember exactly which of them, because I was gapps free for a while and now they are all back on (the same goes for Playstore's services I had disabled). But, I have noticed that rebooting every couple of days and wiping caches in recovery or clearing caches with Link2SD (I'm stuck with this app since stock ICS) helps to get some more free memory. Like I said in previous posts, I've never lost a call since I'm monitoring my free memory and I'm trying to keep it over 50MB, there is still a delay (sometimes very noticeable), but the phone rings.

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gocegi:
Which version are you using?

The march or may version of 7.1 ?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ITomaz:
How to build and make changes in kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
If you want to build the whole LX ROM here is the quide, if you want just to make some changes in the kernel, I guess you could unpack boot.img, change whatever you want and then repack it, there are a lot of tutorials and tools out there, just search. I'm just a simple user, not a developer, so I can't help you, sorry.

I bought the sandisk ultra A1 microsd card and installed latest (may) 14.1 los for mango. It flies !!!

The only problem i have is that sim card is not detected :/

Anybody got a solution for this?

How to do a clean install?

I cant find format system in TWRP only wipe...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gocegi:
Nice, any chance to build r29 for mango?

Just a humble request, no strings attached
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Sorry mate, but it's impossible right now, my Ubuntu partition isn't large enough, so I deleted the sources for N, in order to download the sources for O, just to be ready in case Mike updates the trees for LineageOS 15.0 :fingers-crossed:

My laptop (i3, 1.8GHz, 4Gb RAM) was needing 8 hours for the first build and I had to resume the build several times because I was getting errors from jack server, but the next builds were ready in about 5 hours ( thanks to ccache :D ). If you have a powerful machine and a good internet connection, I would recommend to try build yourself, it isn't that difficult.

About sim card detection, I had that problem only with my first 7.0 build, at the telegram group there are users reported the same about May's build for hallon and mango and they rolled back to March's.

SanDisk Ultra is a fine card, but IMHO Samsung Evo performs a bit better, I have tried both of them with f2fs and ext4, and now I use the Evo with f2fs.

See you at O...

Cheers...

stuck at bootloop

Hi,

I am using cm 13 on my xperia mini since more than a year. Today suddenly my phone restarted and now its not booting.. It restarts after Legacyxperia logo (Between the legacyxperia logo and that blue android logo, I get a blank screen for approx 10-12s and then again Legacyxperia logo ). I am not able to enter recovery (tried vol down+power button. It shows d green notification light but then it restarts again as mentioned above) . If I remove memory card, and try to turn on, it goes on to the blue marshmallow symbol (ofcourse, without men card it wont go further.) .

It would be great if u guys can help me solve this..

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mirhl:
[MENTION=5565731]azakosath[/MENTION]

If you are low on space to allocate to sources, btrfs compression can help really a lot.

Also, I wouldn't personally start working on O before Go configuration is out.

Is instagram still fc in cm 14.1?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:
It flies? Are you serious? A little bit hard to believe, but I would give it a chance. I have a new phone now (Sony X Compact) and would sell the Moto G 4G (like new with official LineageOS 14.1) and keep my mango with its spider app, but fully working, as a backup. But if your sim doesn't work, you can't say anything about the incoming call delay problem...

Clean install? Why don't you just start from scratch?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
I'm also getting amazing performance with my hallon but I'm using the Samsung Evo Plus and only after wiping everything even the internal data which was accidentally AND,

NO GAPPS!

I can even use multi window with some apps.

The ringing delay is still there, but only after about 3hrs of deep sleep and offline.

There was no Sim card detection with the May build so I went back to the March build which also has the TWRP included.

My issues are:

1. Almost regular reboots during charging, sometimes also in situations with low performance demand, but never during high workload.

2. Some apps like maps.me and HERE WeGo don't work at all, FC upon opening, Google maps is working, GPS is ok.

3. True 720p Video recording is working but the recorded volume is almost zero, need MX player with 200% to hear just a little bit during playback.

Anybody can help?

Thanks in advance!

Forget gapps if u want stability & more perf ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vildevilde:
Forgive me but I'm new to this thread and I do want to install without gapps but in the instruction for installation on first side it is written that you have to install gapps before first boot otherwise it will be trouble?

Or maybe it's ment that if you want gapps you have to install it before first boot but it's possible to boot without gapps after installation as long as you don't install gapps later?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Just do not install gapps if you do not REALLY need them. There are more efficient alternatives.

I installed gapps no more on this or other roms since at least 4 years, never had a problem:)

You may get errors if you change your mind and install gapps later though, did not test it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blueman24:
Exactly.

Flashing GApps after first boot causes trouble so it's advised to flash it right after flashing ROM. But if you don't plan on using gapps, you do not need to worry about that. But keep in mind that if you plan to install gapps later, you will have to clean install ROM+ gapps again to avoid problems.

Zip Installation not possible

Hey,

First of all: Thank you for keeping alive the great Sony Ericsson Smartphones from 2011. Without you I wouldn't want to use my xperia pro in 2017! Thanks!

I tried to install your rom CM13 multiple times. I flashed the correct firmware and followed all the steps. I formated the sdCard to fat32 (the instruction says in will be formatted later?).

First I used the integrated cyanogen recovery, wiped the cache and pressed 'apply update' and chose sdCard (there is nothing saying 'install zip' or something. I also didnt find format system & data.. only cache).

when pressing apply update, this happens:

Then I tried to install with twrp. Now it fails installing at those lines:

What did I do wrong??

Thank you for helping!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blueman24:
Check your sd card. Try a different one.

If I remember correctly, you absolutely CANNOT use TWRP as it does not recognize the modified partition layout. Use the included recovery, start fresh by flashing stock using Flashtool. (If possible, boot stock firmware and check if everything works as expected.) Follow every step in the first post closely . Should work. If you still having problems, try using a different SD card. If you have no luck, then try CM11 4.4 KitKat. Works even faster and is the next best option.

yup i had class10 card that got damaged because of that. thats why i bought this time better card that got more ,read\write life time beside speed

i prefer swapfile , because like u said larger Zram size = more CPU strain , i used kernel adiutor to disable ZRAM , phone was much faster, but without another Z\VRAM apps a crushing out of mem
