What kind of USB drive is it ? File system format ? FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, EXT4 ?

I tested my 64GB Sandisk Dual on EXT4, a random FAT32 drive, all good.

Please share logs > adb logs and last_kmsg log.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] mhmghomi:
Will be add to nightly? If not I will change to unofficial one.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
No it will not due to hardware not supporting what would officially be called a low power panel & tilt sensor,

but it works perfectly on Huashan since the low power display commits & my gestures core as well,

so basically it uses almost no power but still not "mergeable" officially.

My Beta builds are basically the same thing as Nightlies + some changes & recent updates like that.

Also know I just merge my whole kernel into CM just today so it's all up to date.

Hi [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

I have installed the latest unofficial version yesterday.

All functions are working good but there are few problems that i faced. One of the most important problem was random lags and freezes ... lags are everywhere,in games in watching a movie or picture. The speed of installing an APK package is low too, for example for a package with 40MB of size, user have to w8 for 3 minutes. In official version i had fewer lags and freezs. ambient display is working good.

again i'm saying that the biggest problem that i faced in your unoffical rom was lag and crashe .

The rom was installed in clean mod(all wipes and...) + flashed nano gapps thats all i have installed.

Still I have problems in cm 12.1. I have random soft reboots.

I'm unable to find xperia sp in cmxlog cm 12.1 also unable to find cm12.1 in cyanogen site for huashan. What to do NOW??

Adrian may you answer please?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
I've built a new CM-12.1 release on my server, I worked a bit on the 12.1 kernel tonight

to fix the random surfaceflinger memory corruption, my 12.1 install on the second SP is now very stable.

It needs to be tested but I think it's fine as it is.

I will not give further support or dev, I just wanted to make the kernel stable

for those who still want 12.1 and have a good CM-12.1 uploaded.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] kjwg:
you should use cm12.1 20160501 version. the newer one is bug.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
Hey Adrian, thank you very much for all your work on the XSP.

Would it be possible to push those changes to CM and make a snapshot build? The first place anyone would look for a stable ROM is the cyanogenmod site, and 12.1 builds are already not available for download there.

I think an official snapshot would be a good way to place a definitive full-stop on all the work you've done towards stabilizing lollipop for the XSP.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
If you look at the official repos, you'll see I already pushed everything to have clean sources saved there.

This last build I made has to be tested as much as possible to confirm it,

but so far I think it really works fine for me on both installs.

I am trying to get a Snapshot built but it requires a lot of things to be done,

since a Snapshot is not built upon the last 12.1 branches but with an other version (about 1 month),

and this stable branch doesn't exist everywhere, especially when it comes to Sony devices who almost never got Snapshots.

So trying to get things ready for it but it needs a afew things done on CM side,

and then a full build on my server to confirm it works & is stable at this point.

Then maybe...

Hi everyone.

I managed to get Huashan 99% ready for a Stable 12.1 SNAPSHOT release,

now I need you guys to test my PRESNAPSHOT release to confirm it works fine

and to give the green light on the official release over CM build servers.

https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/Huashan/CyanogenMod-12.1
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
Clean flashed the PRESNAPSHOT build with the latest opengapps pico aaaand... "Setup Wizard has stopped" :silly:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
Thanks for pointing this out, I managed to reproduce the issue.

A commit from August 2015 missing in the stable branch.

Added & pending merge, I rebuilt a package for you to test.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TrigrH:
updated from within the phone to the presnapshot from using previously: cm-12.1-20160510-UNOFFICIAL-huashan.zip

- It reset all the shortcut screens to the two default ones. (clock & playstore, music & email)

- Sometimes videos freeze and audio keeps playing, then the audio will pause and the video will catch up. (it was a lot worse on that UNOFFICIAL build I was using previously)

- And radio hasn't worked on either build.

Cheers!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] NyQuilXT:

I'm coming from nightly 20160501 and also lost all my shortcuts.

I also got some small audio dropouts while playing music with AIMP from time to time, which I havent had before...but this is not that bad...

And there are no soft reboots anymore :)

Thanks for your work, Adrian !!!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ghst7:
Well people if you dirty flashed the rom and something went wrong, clean flash again before assume something isn't working, and always have a backup for these situations, and by the way did you guys flashed the PRESNAPSHOT_fix_patch released afterwards?

Yesterday i did a clean install of pre snapshot + fix patch + delta gapps and so far everything is working as is supposed to, no setup wizard error, no gapps error, music players working fine, and no odd behaviour
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
This being a "stable" based release, it is based upon rather "older" commits states,

hence there are some things that are getting a step backwards upon "dirty" flash,

and will therefore be reset to default state. Trebuchet probably did that for you.

A Snapshot release isn't meant to be used on top of a Nightly,

it is meant to be used clean as a "Stable" release, or as an update of a previous Snapshot.

If you do update from a Nightly, it can work properly but there is nothing assuring all apps will remain ok.

Right now for me everything works fine on the build.

Similar explanation from Snapshot over Nightly : http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-13-0-release-1 Update case 3
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
I've been using the PRESNAPSHOT build for over a day now, and I'm afraid it isn't as smooth as the 0508 nightly I was using previously. There are intermittent lags, for example while scrolling the Reddit mobile site on Lightning browser it would freeze for half a second every few scrolls, after I got pretty far down the thread.

While recording audio on TapeMachine (a sound recorder that shows a live waveform), the waveform would freeze every minute or so for about two seconds (but the audio continued to be recorded just fine). I was able to reproduce the TapeMachine lag, but nothing shows up in the logs, neither on logcat nor on dmesg.

Plus there are occasional tiny freezes all over the system that aren't really significant by themselves, but are enough to notice. This was not present on the 0508 nightly. Logs show nothing out of the ordinary.

Also, I have a suggestion regarding the screen peek feature. Screen peek works differently on your Lollipop and Marshmallow builds than it did on KitKat, and I believe the older implementation was the correct one.

The description reads "A half press will keep the screen on only while the button is held down", but half-pressing the button and letting go immediately actually turns the screen on and keeps it on even if the button is released.

Once the screen has been turned on this way, it can also be turned off with the camera button, but if the screen was turned on with the main power button, then it cannot be turned off with the camera button.

This behaviour is quite confusing (if you turn on the screen with the camera button, and then open the camera app and take a photo, the screen will turn off when you depress the camera button) and is also very easy to accidentally turn the screen on in your pocket this way.

Thanks.

EDIT: Tried clean flashing the ROM with the PRESNAPSHOT-fix zip, and the phone boots fine, Setup Wizard does not crash.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
About smoothness, I won't do anything else, the kernel used is exactly the same and is stable,

so the issues may be due to recent changes that aren't merged into the stable branch,

and I won't continue hunting down 10 months of commits.

My last build will remain as Final release.

I'll still wait for the last commit to be merged to have a Snapshot held on CM Huashan Downloads,

otherwise we won't have a 12.1 kept online on CM Downloads.

About the screen peek, yes it's a bug in 12.1 & 13.0, won't be fixed for 12.1, I might look at it in 13.0.

Press & hold the focus, it'll work as it should. Click focus fast, then it will wake the device whereas it shouldn't.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
Another thing: with heads-up disabled, incoming calls make the entire UI very unresponsive. With heads-up enabled, everything is fine.

I know this is an old bug, just thought I'd point it out!

Thanks for everything, Adrian.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] :
Adrian, could you please give me a short advice?

I am going to upgrade my XPeria SP from the latest stock firmware to your CM 12.1. Are you going to release a SNAPSHOT version of the CM 12.1 or should I just take your most recent build (cm-12.1-20160610-PRESNAPSHOT-fix-huashan.zip)?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
I built & released a new PRESNAPSHOT release, as the probability of getting a final Snapshot is growing again.

There is the ROM : https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...12.1/cm-12.1-20160706-PRESNAPSHOT-huashan.zip

For those interested, please test it and report back.

Also accept the fact this is built on a stable branch, so it doesn't include 100% of the updates & AOSP rebases from main 12.1 branch.

The aim is not to be a fully perfect build & I won't spend any more on Lollipop.

The goal is to get a good build made as official CM Snapshot and to have it saved online on CM downloads.

Because inactivity of main and Q&A thread of CM 12.1, and because this is an old thread, I just gonna post this here. sorry [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION].

Short story, I just buy new phone, and gonne use SP solely as media player.

I don't need anything else, except,

Music Player,

FM transmitter (<<this is the main reason i came back on CM12.1),

Youtube (and pico gapps so YT could work),

MX Player,

Spotify, and

Wifi connection.

Literally everything else, except system app that is needed for device tu run isn't needed. Contact, Dialer, Calendar, Gsm data, Calculator, Simcard, etc2 isn't needed to me.

So my question is, by disable/and delete it (using Titanium Backup)

How can I gain some space for internal storage from system partition? It is possible right? Maybe 1-2 GB of gained space is worthed for cache files and apk files since internal storage of SP is so small compared to size of an app nowadays.

TL;DR : Gonna use SP as media player only. Can I gain system partition space for internal storage, by deleting system app that i don't needed? Is there tutorial for that?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] esrd43:
you can use MiXplorer as a root browser - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523691

system apps are located in root>system>app and root>system>priv-app, make sure to restart the phone after you delete what you don't need, also make sure not to delete important apps

I don't know if there are other locations from which you can delete stuff to get more storage

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jpmcnown:
Why does it seem that with every iteration of Android, we have to revisit workarounds to get 3rd party apps the ability to read/write to external storage? What is the point of having up to 200GB of storage for only native apps to use? I'm not even talking about Adoptive Storage, which is an entirely other ridiculousness. A lot of the apps I use have been fortunately been updated to explicitly ask for permission from the OS, but is there a way to just tell Android to give it up to all apps? Particularly those apps that are slow/no to update?

-Thanks

P.S. I fully anticipate needing to revisit this nonsense with Android N
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] arsmithsr:
The big issue with adoptable storage and running apps from the SD card is speed. This is why Samsung and LG both left it out. If you use an SD card for adoptable storage the whole system will slow down. Then people complain of long startup times for apps. Not realizing that the issue isn't from Android or the phone but from the SD card. If you want to load apps to the SD card you can. But the trade off is slow load times for those apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] gfrrt:
Just speaking for myself, I bought the 64gig extreme and moved all apps that would let me including games. Now if I reboot it takes forever to load up everything. But once everything is loaded and it settles down, I only notice a extremely small lag. Barely noticeable. I think your card read/write has everything to do with it. My racing games play flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] arsmithsr:
Granted you know and can tell and you know you did it. Most wouldn't and then would complain of slow speeds. They would also throw a cheap card in there and then wonder why the phone was so slow. I can see why Manufacturers would not put that functionality in there. I work in IT and see these type of things all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Vitore1:
I can understand (and live with) the limitation for adoptable storage. However, I do not understand why 3rd party apps (most of them) cannot even write data to sd card while still installed in the internal memory? Be it editing/saving pictures, saving backups, etc. Some applications can workaround it by opening a dialog where you select the sd card and the app is granted a write access to the selected folder on the card. Bot most other apps cannot do that and then fail on writing data there (some of them fail even on reading)

Anyone knows why this stupid idea was implemented and how to work-around it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] hp79:
I think I read that it was done for security reasons but it is really a PITA. No solution for that.

Ever since mm update the bt aptx connection skips/freezes momentarily. I haven't isolated an exact pattern, seems to happen more often in some setups than others. For instance, listening to bt aptx music via Google music play results in often freezes on my both headsets, sennheiser mm400 and telme2. Listening via poweramp however yields less skips but it happens. I am really bothered by this new issue, as I thought, after upgrading to this phone, that I have finally found the perfect bt listening device.

I'd like to know if there's other people affected by this so I can report to Sony, so if you could bother to answer this informal poll, with fw revision, app where this problem occurs and frequency.
