Help someone has problems with gapps because when I install the latest Compilation 3/26 ah I get stopped play store and play services, and made ​​a clean install with the new Compilation but still the same problems will not know if the gapps or helps the same rom install gapps of mardon ... sorry for my bad English
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Not quite :)

You can format a sd card from card reader or from cm11 recovery. Then flash cm13 kernel and simply format /data partition. If that doesn't help... well you need a new sd card.

It works! Just not that way. Use option "mount sd card to usb" or something like that. And then try to format it with SDFormatter from Windows.

Fresh build feedback

1. Screen 180 rotation still makes phone freeze

2. Latest GApps by Mardon makes Google Services error appears every 10 seconds or so. Play Market doesn't work at all.

3. Bluetooth is still buggy. Still need to enable it 2 times per boot.

4. Boot time is a bit faster.

5. Data seems to be working fine without Airplane/3G/2G On/Off switching

6. MTP still buggy. More info here

I have same problem and I have tried in many ways to format sd card but no one can success.

I tried with Sd formatee,in various recovery,by cmd command,in various phone,in various pc and windows versions etc nothing can done.if you find a way please tell me.I have tried with bellow method but failed,if you want to try it......... kindly follow the following steps:-

Insert the corrupted memory card into a card reader, and then connect the card reader to the computer.

Open RUN on your computer (to open RUN click on the “start” icon and enter “search for program” then type in RUN.

After opening RUN type in “CMD” in the provided text box.

After that, type in “DISKPART”.

Type in “LIST DISK”.

Type in “SELECT DISK 1”.

Type in “CLEAN”.

Type in “CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY”.

Type in “ACTIVE”.

Type in “SELECT PARTITION 1”.

Lastly type in “FORMAT FS=FAT32”.

NOTE: YOU SHOULD WAIT FOR 30 MINUTES FOR IT TO FINISH LOADING 1 -100%

After finishing this process remove your card reader from the computer USB port and also remove the SD card from the card reader……..that’s all.

MiniTool Partition Wizard sucks, I already had huge problems trying to use it for CM12. Linux will solve your problems, create a CD or USB-stick with "GParted Live" (no installation on your hard-drive needed), boot from this media. There you can delete both partitions and create a single new one afterwards. http://gparted.org/livecd.php

I tried the urushi March build, and flashed the gapps.

Pop up errors on 1stime loading

- Google Play (perhaps i need to download the latest gapps)

- Bluetooth Share

Not working

- bluetooth

Startup boot seems fast

Upon flashing tru otg and adb, i need to format the system (also lost the file on my SD card) to avoid the rom flashing error.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ptamigi:
Hi friends

The March build is installed from recovery?!???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
Yapz this all from march updte. . .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
Weird. I copied the latest cm13 and latest full 240dpi to internal storage, switched to fastboot, flashed the urushi boot, booted into recovery, formatted system, rebooted into recovery again, installed from internal storage and don't have any problem with play store.

Selecting a full erase or overwrite in SD Formatter v4 should work if the card isn't dead (I'd also select size adjustment). You should also always do a "safe remove" before unplugging the card to make sure everything is flushed. Waiting for 30 minutes seems like voodoo. The SD formatter says it puts the partition in the correct place & it's known that formatting with any other method then it's possible the partition will be in a non-optimal place.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1chiel:
Yes, as indicated before:

I updated my Urushi this way. Without wipe I got an error (interestingly the error referred to a sideload, while I installed from recovery). After wiping system I installed the March update and Gapps. Phone seems to work fine, but I did not check Bluetooth nor mobile data.

EDIT: note that the kernel is not updated if you do it this way. I did it afterwards through fastboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
No, https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FibreFoX:
As Mardon mentioned, there seems to be broken with cm13 itself.

These steps worked for me:

- deleting all partitions on SD-card, creating unformatted primary partition

- flashing boot.img from february-release (cm-13.0-20160226-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip)

- factory-wipe (all)

- cache wipe

- advanced -> wipe system

- apply update > using adb

- adb sideload cm-13.0-20160226-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip

- adb sideload HDPI_miniGAPPS-6.0-20160323-tb-signed.zip

- reboot

- setting up everything

- flashing boot.img from march-release (cm-13.0-20160326-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip)

- apply update > using adb

- adb sideload cm-13.0-20160326-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu.zip

- reboot

This seems to work at least for me, maybe it helps someone. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vortelf:
Is there any way to flash the update without formatting the system? I mean, I'm getting tire of losing all my data(call history, messages, etc) on every build. This bug, if it is a bud, didn't happen neither on CM12.1 or CM11.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bykidi:
Titanium backup?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vortelf:
This is an option, yes. But is is "update" when you have to do clean install every time? Just because someone broke the recovery. No hard for anyone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
You don't loose anything, all data and settings are stored in data partition, the only thing is that you have to flash GAPPS again. The difference from a dirty flash is that it doesn't keep whatever is in addon.d scripts.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
Tried to install the latest release on my mini pro (mango) today, coming from CM 12.1 before. I did erase the partitions on my SD-card using Gparted, and followed the instructions exactly. I reached the language-selection dialog after the 1st boot, but after scrolling down the phone suddenly rebooted. Now I'm stuck in a boot-loop.

The blue CM-logo appears.

Afterwards "Android is starting... Optimizing app 1 of 11."

Rebooting and showing the same again and again. Then the number switched to "optimizing 15 apps" instead of 11 - like in the 1st boot I think. But still the boot-loop.

Then the number of apps "optimizing" is just "1 of 1", but still boot-loop.

Battery light is flashing red already. When removing the battery, if I plug in the power-supply the phone tries to boot again (boot-loop). I can boot into recovery however. Will the battery charge while recovery-menu is displayed? (although the charging-led is not on?)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mikeioannina:
About gapps issues: There are issues in CM at the moment as many people mentioned, we are looking for a fix and a new build will roll after that.

About flashing issues: Last time I tried, I was able to update only when I had minimal gapps installed on my device. When you install or sideload an update, the gapps backup scripts backup all gapps to a temporary folder in RAM. So if you have a big gapps package, the device runs out of RAM when trying to backup all the apps. If you format system then the backup scripts are gone and you are able to flash normally and need to flash gapps again after update. So the solution is to install minimal gapps or wipe system and reinstall gapps on every update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SirBiggle:
I don't Format when I update inside a release. From 12.1 to 13 i did a full wipe.

But inside 12.1 and from 13 february release to 13 march release i do the following:

- copy update.zip and latest gapps to sdcard

- reboot to fastboot

- flash boot.img from update.zip with fastboot

- reboot to recovery

- wipe system

- apply update from sdcard, install update.zip

- apply update from sdcard, install gapps.zip

- reboot and wait

all your settings and apps are present
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
I did a full factory reset, wiped cache and system and also used Mardon's minimal gapps (MDPI (160DPI)) - but nevertheless ended with this strange boot-loop described one post above yours.

I think the best will be to wait for the next roll-out, but in the meanwhile - how can I charge my battery? Will it charge while the phone is in recovery-mode? I removed the battery now because I don't know how I can charge it, or if it will still lose energy even while plugged into the wall-charger...

Done.

I used the device with f2fs and this rom now for half a week and the result is:

all of a sudden: crash

reboot from kernel

-> boot loop in the kernel

I can't even reach my recovery

ejecting the sd card, let's me access the recovery again

so I guess my data partition has some parts that have gone corrupted

I can still mount and read the sd card on my pc though (haven't tried more)

I have another device (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1)

where the data folder of Google Play Games got corrupted (maybe even more, I don't know)

I can't reinstall it anymore and therefore I cannot play games like Fallout Shelter

using a root explorer revealed: some other data parts where still there and I could remove them, but the corrupted (invisible) folder seems to block the install (error 506)

TWRP says on every command:

E: unable to stat ...

where ... is the path to the folder

I'm gonna reset my devices and switch to ext4 until those stability issues are all solved out and maybe you should too

EDIT:

ups, not good, my sd card might be dead

neither Windows, nor minitool partition wizard, nor the sd formatter can format my sd card anymore

have to check that
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
If it recharges in recovery (although the charging-led isn't on), this is great. The regular way with turning it off doesn't work for me, I have to remove the battery to end the boot-loop, put it back in - but as soon as I plug the phone to the charger it turns on and tries to boot again (into the boot-loop), I don't get the charging-graphics.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
SD formatter says "the memory card is write protected please release write protected switch" I have release switch but same answer.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sscool:

pleASE can you help with clear intruction??

many thank bro...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
I gave up on dodgy write protect switches on sdhc cards by modifying my usb to sdhc adapter.

Microsdhc cards don't have write protect switches though.

It may be that the card is reporting an error and it gets reported to you as a write protection issue.

mounting usb in recovery may or may not help.

i just updated to latest build (20160327) on my xperia mini smultron. just flash boot.img from fastboot (using flashtool) and then instal upddate from recovery. and everything work fine.

the 4 shortcut at the bottom now become smaller, please make it bigger like before.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
1. Flash cm11 kernel;

2. Boot into recovery;

3. Connect a device to PC;

4. Select "mounts and storage" option;

5. Then tap "mount USB storage".

6. Find a SD card drive in Win file explorer;

7. Format it either using Win built-in formatter (heh :p) or SDFormatter.

8. Wait... and pray for it to work :);

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rivsmaniac:
Hello everyone! Huge THANKS for Mike and all the developers team for that great work you have done! You guys are the best!

I have successfully flashed cm13 build from March, 28 and have tried both mini and full mdpi gapps on my smultron. But after first boot I had regular google services and google play FC. It disappeared after second reboot, but play market does not work at all and crashes every time i start it. It seems like I'm not the only one, so is there any solution yet?

And second question. Is there any easy way to make the same trick with internal memory on external sd card for other roms? Every app keeps more and more space after update, so i'm expiriencing a lack of space on any rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Tried with Gparted Live but same result.format,delete resize partition success but nothing happen. all data on sd card are present as always.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
It's not that hard just not worth it. Internal memory has good random io - at least two times better than a fastest of sd cards (remember that our devices cant utilize full power of modern sd cards because of old external sd controllers). You may already seen that cm12.1 and cm13.0 feels not so fast compared to cm11 with their /data partitions on sd cards.

If you running out of space you always can use Link2SD or similar app/script.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
If there any other way to use cm11 like this cm13. . I mean use sd card tobe internal memory. . I chose this way. . . I think partitioning the sd card into 2 partition is more risk to get sd card die. . Comparing to use sd card in one partition. . . [emoji1]
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
Just to make sure you used it the right way, you selected one or two partitions, chose "delete", and also didn't forget to hit the "Apply" button at last?

Here someone showed those steps in a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czAJwEbtFs&t=14m09s

Did you get the message "All operations successfully completed"? And afterwards the whole space on your card should be displayed as "unallocated".
[Xperia Arc Android Development] moritzheinz:
I had problems with Windows 10 to get access in fastboot mode, I couldn't believe that id should be a driver problem, because I had installed a boot.img before, but it was. I had success installing the adb-drivers by starting windows 10 in test mode by starting a cmd as admin and writing "Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON", which bring's Win10 into the test mode after a reboot. Now you can force your system to install unsigned drivers (come back from test mode with "Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF").

After doing this the whole installation of the boot.img, the CM13 and GAPPS worked exactly as described here and everthing works well now on my Xperia active (satsuma). GAPPS I took first from another source, but didn't work. Taking the link inside here worked perfectly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
I built cm11 with emulated storage and it's no good. UX is terrible, especially with checkboxes, apps are not snappy at all and most important thing that there are 500Mb of unused space from the former /data partition. It can be used either for dalvik cache or /data/data but sure for little-to-no performance gain. And if you eventually run out of free space in that partition...

Don't you think that Link2SD is a better alternative? :)

If you format the second partition of your sd card to a flash-aware filesystem (f2fs) your sd card will be fine.

Yes, I make it to right way.I have choose delete and also hit apply and got message of All operations successfully completed but after this nothing change on sd card. all data are present.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
That's a filesystem designed to work with flash memory with it's limited write cycles. In our case it's f2fs and maybe ext4 with some tuning.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
Owh.. Did you mean. . If i make my second partition with f2fs then i dont

To instll link2sd any more. . . Then The files system already installed in that partition?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
No. Whatever formatted the partition you have, android (kitkat) itself doesn't support linking apps to sd. To make use of the second partition (also known as sd-ext) you need to install Link2SD (refer to LX wiki for the partitioning guide :) ).

Hello to LX team!

I just found that project https://microg.org/

What you guys think about it? Can it be implemented in LX?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobi24:
What happens to our microSD-cards?

I couldn't believe / understand the problems with the microSD cards described by several people here, so I tried to delete / re-format / create a new partition on my card as well now...

The result is frightening! The formatting in CM-Recovery really seems to "damage" our cards / or at least put them in a strange state that can't be revoked!? Even in Linux with Gparted it's not possible to delete the F2FS partition anymore or to re-format it into any other filesystem.

Coming from CM 12.1, deleting the 2 partitions and just leaving the whole space unallocated still worked in Gparted. Trying to install the March-release (1st doing a full factory reset, wiped cache and system) for me resulted in a boot-loop: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66078220&postcount=686

Installing the February-release today (thought at least this would work), rebooting the 1st time after flashing the ROM and GAPPS, I got stuck with the animated CM-logo. But no re-boot as it was the case with the March-release. I use a 32GB microSD card from Transcend that worked great and flawless in CM 12.1, but now it also seems to be damaged.

What's going on, how can we use the cards (and partitioning-tools) the way it should be again? I have only one damaged F2FS partition, others still have 2 partitions and are unable to delete them with any known partitioning-tool. And what if I would like to re-format my card to FAT32 in order to make it usable for other devices again? Not possible in Windows, not possible in Linux (Gparted)...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Did you try to mount the sd card to usb and then format it using SDFormatter? Also fdisk and parted tools can be helpful (via adb).

I moved from cm12.1 some time ago and at that time I didn't encountered that problem. Here are my steps:

1. Flash cm11 kernel;

2. Boot into recovery;

3. Connect a device to PC;

4. Select "mounts and storage" option;

5. Then tap "mount USB storage";

6. Find a SD card drive in Win file explorer;

7. Format it either using Win built-in formatter (heh ) or SDFormatter to FAT32;

8. Reconnect the device to PC into fastboot mode;

9. Flash cm13 kernel;

10. Format internal partitions /cache and /system;

11. Sideload cm13 and gapps;

12. Reboot;

13. Profit.
