I have/had somewhat similar problems with Mini Pro (sk17i, mango). Some of them I've resolved.

Sometimes it takes very, very long time for the phone to be woken up by a phone call. I've called myself from a different phone and -- when the problem occurred -- it took about a minute and a half! until the phone realized that there is an incoming call and starts at least buzzing. Subsequent calls, shortly after that were OK. If the phone is sleeping for a longer period of time the problem occurs again. I don't think it's the SD card because no application starts that long. Even Firefox or OsmAnd which are pretty heavy, start much, much faster.

I've also experienced freezing. There are two kinds of them.

First is when an application takes much RAM. The phone becomes extremely laggy and unresponsive. It may end with freeze&reboot. Sometimes I was able to close the application and it came back to normal.

Second kind of freezing is sudden hard freeze & reboot.

Now, here are possible mitigations/solutions:

Call wake up: Currently I've changed CPU governor from interactive to ondemand. I'm still testing whether it helps. You may want to try it yourself for example via Kernel Aduitor app.

Full RAM freeze problem: It seems that making OOM killer more aggressive helped. With following settings I did not have the problem so far: 30, 32, 36, 65, 80, 85. Again, use Kernel Aduitor -> Low Memory Killer to set the values.

Hard freezing started occurring after I set all system and CM applications as "not optimized for battery use". I did it in an attempt to solve the wake up problem (it did not helped). After I reverted the setting, no freezing. So if by a chance you have similar setting go to Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimization and set all applications to "Optimize".

I have CPU clocked to 1.4GHz, class 10 Kingston SD card, no GAPPS at all. Besides the wake up problem, the user experience is very good; not slower than with CM11, and with all the CM13 features even better. I'm using build from April, hopefully I find time to update to the latest build soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
It seems that you have phone number lookup enabled. Disable it and the lag will dissapear.

Worth a try :cowboy:

np :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blutor:
If you mean Settings (in Phone app) -> "Phone number lookup" then I have all three options disabled there.

Number lookup in local Contacts is still working though. But that should not be the problem because Phone app takes a second or two to start (including populating the contact list).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
I keep asking this every once in a while, but has anyone tinkered with microG on these LegacyXperias? :) I think the biggest problem right now on my iyokan is having Gapps. Google has done a great disservice to older phones by bloating their built-in software to the point of no return.

Xperia ray problem

Hi,

I would appreciate your help very much. I tried to do the first time installation. I followed the steps. The problem is the system formating tool signed.zip that I used for cm 12.1. Phone will go to recovery, but there are no format/system or data and cache options. If I choose any of the options there are, like install zip or reboot system now it won't do anything. I also installed adb 1.4.3 for windows. It recognizes the Sony device, but no android device is there, but I dont know if it matters. There are no Google Inc. drivers, only Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB interface driver. My sd card has fat32 format and it's primary. What I understand, I need also the recovery when installing with ADB and now my recovery is useless and not working. So what's the problem?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plb-dev:
Home key wont work in recovery of cm13 builds, you have to touch the option in order to select it.

Hope this helped !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
I'm using microG on N :) Yes, it works, but you need to apply signature faking patch first and compile LX ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulholland:
You can find the options for formatting system and cache in the recovery under factory reset.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Thanks for the support. Somehow I've managed to flash it and try the updated build for my URUSHI. feels more snappier but I'm experiencing bad power management. Maybe its just my charge or battery but I noticed the device on consistent heat even when my display is off all the time. I flashed back to 20160227 build. that's the most stable build i noticed for my RAY even I'm on ****ty 16gb card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
Can you share it for mango? I dont have PC so i cant make custom bulid for my use... :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eberhardweber:
Equally interested in iyokan, though I understand it's a lot asked as is the above. A bit less asked is, if you'd be able to tell us, how is the performance? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
There are big difference in performance between microG and GMS without OC @1.4Ghz :) With overclock - no notable difference with Play services, although there are less lags with microG because more RAM is available. Also, less cpu usage -> less heat generated :cowboy:

Probably it's worth switching to microG only if your experience with cm-13.0/GMS is laggy as hell and overclock is not helping.

MicroG:

+ Less RAM usage;

+ Less CPU usage;

- No auto-updates for LP/M/N - you need to flash new version (/priv-app) once in 3-6 months;

- No contacs/calendar sync out-of-the-box;

- Slightly more complex installation process;

GMS:

+ User-friendy - easy installation;

+ Autoupdates;

+ Google;

- Memory-hog;

- Google.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
I have bulid for mango, gonna try it out tommorow and give feedback how it work :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
I never quite got what microG actually does. Does it completely replace GAPPS? Does it offer a way to access the Play Store to download and update apps? Does the Gmail app work with it (which normally needs the Google Play Services)? If the answer to these questions is yes, I will surely give it a chance, I hate how much storage space and RAM GAPPS take up.

Also, you mentioned that contacts do not sync out of the box; is there a way to make it work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Yes, it is.

Of course :) Just copy vendor.apk (Play Store) into /priv-apps/, that's it.

Not sure about Gmail app but YouTube works just fine.

It is possible. Search for DAVDroid or something like this in F-Droid repo :cowboy:

Hi All,

I reflashed 12th September Mardon build on my Lt15i Xperia Arc....i notice that mobile data is not working....i toggled between 2g & 3g many times but no luck......also file transfer from windows 10 pc to my mobile is very slow using the USB cable..i copied the contents of my SD to laptop before flashing ROM and now trying to restore my backup again.....i also notice frequent crashes.....apps not responding and phone restarting by itself.....i use a fast class 10 16gb sd card......how to fix this? are there any new builds?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
I did all this, together with a completely new installation as described in OP, except flashing the kernel.

Then I did the things mentioned below and now it's running at least as smooth as with CM11:)

Wakeup by phone call and/or in WiFi or mobile data by whatsapp:

I checked the events log of my router and found out that my telephone is only logged in in Wifi for about 10 minutes then after about 5 minutes offline logs in again and so on.

This was with the governor smartassV2.

The other 3 governors did not log on again once they lost Wifi.

With governor conservative it looks promising, as after 1.5 hours of sleep it responded immediately to a phone call and it did not log off Wifi.

But battery drain is the highest of all governors with about 8%/hour, whereas the others are 2-4%, all this in standby with wifi or mobile data on and whatsapp running in background.

I used your solution for Full RAM freeze problem with kernel adiutor and it worked, no more reboots.:)

Testing of the governors is not comprehensive, less than 2 days until now.

I don't know what influence the I/O schedulers have on this issue, so I never changed the default one.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your tips!

i want fresh install the last build on my arc s,

1st, i format my sd card(class 10) to fat32 use minitool on window

2nd, flash last boot.img and reboot to recovery

3st, wipe system ,done

4th, full factory reset, wipe data failure,i see some information on process screen : load f2fs ..... wipe data failure....

5th, reboot to recovery and flash last rom though sideload , it takes a long time

6th, reboot, and it just stop in andorid logo...

failure to install the build.

so any wrong step with me?

i guess something went wrong with the format sd card and factory reset steps.

but i just follow the offical guide by mike, i have no idea to reslove this problem.

any one can help me to figure out the problem? [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION]
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
Hi All,

I downloaded this verison and installed it and i'm seeing lot of lag from the first boot itself...it is hardly 20 minutes since i installed it and the phone is unresponsive and takes a long time to respond. Getting android process is not working, music has stopped and such messages....i just flashed this ROM & GAPPS and nothing else....anyone having similar issues?

I resinstalled it for a 2nd time now and having same issues....while booting for 1st time during the setup process itself SETTING app gets crashed, UI is laggy and not responsive at all..

Steps i followed:

Step Three (Final step): Flashing CM13 Insert the formatted sdcard to your device and power off Connect to PC in fastboot mode (hold menu button and connect USB cable) Launch cmd from your fastboot/adb folder (Hold Shift button while right-clicking on the adb/fastboot folder, then select Open Command Window here) Type in these commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot reboot While the device is booting up, disconnect from pc and press the Volume down button repeatedly to boot into recovery mode. Once in recovery, perform the following - Factory reset > full factory reset - Wipe cache - Advanced > wipe system partition Now select Apply Update > Apply from ADB Connect the device back to PC via USB cable and type the following commands: adb sideload update.zip Wait for the loading process to complete. If it stops at 47% don’t panic, just go ahead with the remaining step. adb sideload gapps.zip Once this completes loading, disconnect from PC and reboot device to system. Done.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
MicroG is light Google apps replacement (no battery drain like with Gapps) so generally its better for phones like Xperia 2011 cause of small ram&bat usage

[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
I am also on SK17i mini pro/mango running the latest cm-13.0-20161109-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango. (After a week of trying, finally got it working)

I have the same issue with calls and have noticed similar with sms too.

It takes quite some time from sleep to wake up with an incoming call. I called myself and it took 7 rings before it vibrated, then a further 3 or 4 rings before the screen finally woke up to show caller ID and I was able to answer the call (a total of 10 or 11 rings before I can answer the call/see who it is calling, by which time most people would have hung up, resulting in missed calls). After this first call, it is a bit faster (but is still pretty slow with an average of 5 rings before screen wake up/caller ID to show).

And with regards to texts, again, if someone sends me a text and the phone is sleeping, the text will not wake up the phone (no vibrate, no message tone, no notification, nothing) And it is only when I wake up the phone and go into my messages I see a new message has arrived. Which results in new messages going unread/missed.

Again, once the phone is awake, it is not quite as slow to react.

I am aware that such mods do have their bugs and are still in development, and I can live with slow internet access, google maps, the keyboard issues and what not. I accept these and I also appreciate that a lot of work has gone into these mods and I am very grateful for those who have developed these mods in order to keep our 2011 devices alive.

I have skimmed through all 171 pages of this thread to try and find a working solution as missing calls and texts is an issue for me.

Thank you blutor for the "CPU governor from interactive to ondemand" suggestion, I have just changed this in the nofrills CPU app to see if it helps. It seems as though it has improved incoming call response time from sleep. Its not perfect/as fast as it used to be on stock gingerbread, but is still am improvement (I just need someone to text me now to see if it helped in that area too).

Whilst this CPU adjustment has helped a bit, I was wondering if these issues of call and sms slow responses are something which can be fixed via cm13 development? If it is something which could be fixed via development, then am I correct in thinking I should be mentioning the issues on the Github, in order for it to be looked into?

.. oh an also, I must confess that I am using only an 16GB class 4 SD :o so would using a class 10 also aid in call and sms response time? (I imagine it wouldn't, since blutor as stated they are using class 10 and having the slow call issues, but I figured worth checking, since here everyone else's knowledge is far superior to mine on this topic)

Any help/info will be greatly appreciated :)

Stuck on cm logo after charging

Hi,

I installed the cm 13 with sideload, then gapps and no problems so far. I put my urushi to a wall charger for a first wall charge. The phone had 1 % power left and it went off. I restarted it normally when I connected to the charger. It charged the phone normally (at least up to 70 %). When I came back to see the phone, there was reading legacyxperia and it was booting itself like twice (the text came again) and then it got stuck on cm logo. I have no idea why it automatically booted itself, nobody touched it. I have disabled many apps from settings (Google play etc) to save battery life, but not forced them to close. I removed the battery and started again but it's still stuck on the boot logo. I also booted to recovery and did wipe cache with no luck and then wipe system (keep data) and factory reset, again no luck. What is this problem and do I need to begin all over again:(? Many thanks for help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Installed Mardon's CM14.1 build as well on my Arc S. Performance is great but I have a couple of questions:

What's up with this glitch?

I'd like to use Google Apps but OpenGapps make my phone unbootable and I don't know how to set up microG. What package should I use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
This isnt glitch in my opinion, thats normal. About MicroG - your rom must have signature spoofing patch which isnt probably included in mardon's cm 14.1 bulid, so try normal Google apps pico version.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I don't think it's normal since according to most screenshots of Android 7.0, it's supposed to look like this.

I've tried all versions from pico to mini but I've had to re-flash after every one of them since the phone was stuck at the boot logo.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
[MENTION=5229648]bsevcenk[/MENTION] hmmm thats freak, did you tried Mardon special Gapps? About these glitches: our screens are very small, maybe the windows are not full cause of our screens density?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Wow thank you, I thought they didn't even exist but they do! It works now :)

(for anyone asking, gapps are here)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mbdroidsony:
Installed this ROM on my LWW yesterday and it's been working great. To my surprise it's just as fast as cm11. Here's some info screenshots.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fundre:
Woah that's impressive. That super mini 5-year old device running the newest version of Android :D

How's the performance/working list? Do you have any link/a bit of instructions to install? I'm currently running the last 12.1 build, still working fine although it's not my daily driver :p just a glorified iPod-Spotify machine.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
Performance is very good for me, everything works except camera recording (taking pics is ok)

About link: not sure if i can share it with you because [MENTION=7314643]umaturman[/MENTION] compiled it for me, but pm me so i can give you zip :cool:

This is my detailed installation instruction:

WITHOUT ADB:

1.Download CM 14.1 and CyanogenMod 12.1 (cm-12.1-20151206 bulid)

2.Optionally Gapps, MicroG, SuperSU, Xperia keyboard etc

3.Format your SD card to EXT4

4.Put rom.zip on your ext4 formatted sd card

5.flash cm-12.1-20151206 bulid kernel using fastboot

6.in recovery (included in cm 12.1 kernel) flash cm 14.1 zip

7.you can see some errors but its doesnt matter

8.now flash cm 14.1 kernel

9.in recovery wipe data

10.flash Gapps, MicroG etc

11.reboot and wait

12.Voila - you should have working nougat bulid on mango :highfive:

With ADB: installation is exactly same as with CyanogenMod 13.0

Thats all, i cant use adb on my old pentium IV so i found this different way to install it :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
Wait one or two months and you will get fully working bulid for all devices from Xperia 2011 line :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
Maybe there are some bad blocks or the internal memory is simply so old that you exceeded the write cycles of it.

Now it's damaged and can't hold any data without damaging it and maybe that's what's causing the problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Just upgraded from a class 2 to a class 10 SD. I expected much better performance, it really makes no difference.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] karza87:
I put the sd card to a reader and plugged it to pc. There is nothing visible, not even the drive letter and also the partition wizard shows just blank. I think the sd card is the reason. I read somebody had a problem in a control circuit with that particular Kingston 8gb sd card in his phone. Now im running stock 4.1 and no problems. I tried with a second sd card which is messed up so that the format is stuck on ext4 and you simply can't format it to any other format with wizard or windows. The installation got stuck to legacyxperia booting over and over again with no cm logo to be seen.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SV_25:
You should try going to Mobile network settings and disable "Connected Line identification", this combined with ondemand cpu governor seemed to have fixed the issue for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
Class 2 or 10 makes (almost) no difference when it comes to random reads/writes which is crucial in this case. No-name cards all have miserable random access performance.

You can have a look at the benchmarks linked below, or just get a Samsung EVO which is pretty much the best card and it's not more expensive than any other.

If you already have a Samsung EVO, there is either another problem on your side or this is as much as you'll get out of this ancient device.

Thanks for your previous answer. I managed to get microG up and running and most things seem to be working (including the gmail app).

I am having trouble with syncing contacts, though. I have DAVDdroid installed but no settings seem to be working. Could you give me a few pointers how to set up DAVDroid?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Download GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from APKMirror and push it into system/app.

Maybe you will need and GoogleBackupTransport.apk in system/priv-app too.

And if you like you can download also GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and push it into system/app.

Give permission manually and after an Auto-sync data everything should be working.

It's better to ask this kind of questions at microG thread, there are more people that could help.
