i installed version 14.1-20161115. I didnt have problem.

I used that Rom about 1 week.

When i will install version 14.1-20161123 manually, because it didnt show me the atts on the cm updater, the cyanogem recovery broke. Now, any rom that i try to install, show me "error".

Hepl me, pelase :confused:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] mrjazzit:
I also had problems with cm updater not showing new versions. Fixed by cancel app data and set permissions then reboot
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Huge Dude:
Same error for me sometimes.

PS. Made "dirty" update fro CM13.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ccakir:
Yesterday I downloaded cm-14.1-20161122 update via CM Updater and then I applied it. Since then cyanogenmod animation have been playing on screen and it doesn't turn on for hours. What should I do?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Limix19:
Did you unlock the bootloader?

I forgot this the first time I flashed CM and I was shocked, too :D

This topic should be read-only for users under 25 posts or so. Hundreds of noob questions and useless remarks. One valuable, technical post is getting buried under a ton of ridiculous questions from 1-post users that simply don't care a fu*k about rules and the availability of a Q&A CM14.1 topic.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] cyberdimitri:
I tried 2 older versions but i get the same results.

No, i don't think i did. How can i do that now? I tried google for this info but apparently I need the IMEI which I don't have :(

If you 're referring to me, I really try to respect the rules and I did read the Q&As as well as all the posts (not that i understood everything - I am the first to admit my noobiness). Please remember that before you became the expert you are now, you were a noob too and I'm certain you also had 'ridiculous' questions. Don't be a snob.

Xperia does not react to power button

Yesterday I downloaded cm-14.1-20161123 and installed it with TWRP (clean install with wipes).

This morning I will use my phone and it doesn't react on "power button" screen remains black.

If I call my xperia with another phone it shows the incoming call and works normally.

(I had the same issue twice 2 days ago with "dirty flash" cm-14.1 over cm13 without wipes)

Can somebody help?

Thanks.

Catlog attached.

Great rom,thank you man.

Just one thing thought,it drains battery too fast even on idle...like triple as compared to android 6.

Any solutions
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] LordBunny:
I just installed this, but how to install another zip file. Like Gapps, because I installed Picro version of Gapps. And it gives me instant errors so I reinstalled the ROM. But now I forgot to install the Gapps. So I Turned off my phone to get into recovery mode, but I only see: "Install Update." I reinstalled The rom (Clean) and now my GAPPS look like a android icon (I tried ARM pico android 7.1 and Micro ARM 7.1 and Micro 7.0 but I couldn't install that one) And if I try to open one app it stops. Any solution for this?

Q&A for unrelated general questions please.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] monkeyddragon:
I installed this rom yesterday, and I can really say that the rom is smooth and fast even the phone wakes from deep sleep. I'm very happy for this rom, but what makes me feel sad is that the battery drains faster compared to CM 13.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ongkhel:
anyone tried the Nightly version? how was it?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] monkeyddragon:
Try it yourself, for me it's good for being the smoothest and fastest of all ROMS i'd tried. You will feel the difference, but the battery really drains fast.

I installed latest nightly version and helium kernel.

My phone is freezing for 30-40 seconds while switching between apps. Rest is working fine.

Anybody else having this problem?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tebex:
It is possible that script in init.d directory isn't run at startup. Sadly it happens to me even after helium v30 update. When i run this script by terminal emulator its really smooth

A lot of problems with latest 25/11 official nightly, at least when upgrading from unofficial builds.

Process com.android phone not working, later Messenger joined, and for the best I lost all my SMS messages. Not even a full TWRP backup can restore them, seems I just lost a lot of data. No idea what the problem is, but very frustrating.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
I invite you to read the Q&A part that concerns that exact topic & explains why this happened.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] abhishek2945:
snapchat running perfectly (login) or not..?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] maxify:
I see, thanks. The Q&A first post however mentions database incompatibility between CM13 and 14.1, whereas I was upgrading from 14.1 unofficial (21/10) to 14.1 official...

Also my SIM card wasn't detected.

I did a TWRP backup before upgrading. Restoring it brings back everything except SMS messages. I extracted the mmssms.db from /data/user_de, but can't find a way to import it.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
the telephony databases may require to be deleted and rebuilt during the CM-14.1 bringup.

It started as AOSP 7.1 databases when we started working on Nougat,

then moved to CM-based databases to support the migrations from 13.0 to 14.1 official builds.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] OsGhaly:
If it's OK to use third-party app to backup your data to GDrive, then you can flash the unofficial 14.1 rom to be able to restore back your twrp backup, then you can install an app such as "SMS backup+“ from play store to do a full backup to all SMSs, contacts and even call log.

After that you can flash the latest official 14.1 and restore back all the data you have backed up using the same third-party app.

I've been experiencing late notifications in Whatsapp and Signal.

When I get an incoming message, I get a notification immediately on Whatsapp Web, and the notification appears on the lockscreen on my phone. No vibration, no notification light, no log messages.

After about a minute, the phone vibrates and the notification light switches on, and the following appears in the log:

Anyone try the last version( 5/12)? Bug?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
For those interested in knowing the CM changes for the last week (up until 03 Dec), refer this Reddit thread.

For those wondering about whether the latest 0512 build works fine, yes it does. In fact, if you're worried about any build not working, just take a nandroid backup and try it out yourself. Only takes about 15-20 minutes.

The latest build has the AOSP bootanimation instead of the CM one (temporarily, it will be changed back), and it also does not have the theme engine (for those who will inevitably ask). Also, at some point the notification lights settings moved from the Display section to the Notifications section, but it's all still there, don't worry.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ongkhel:
i installed mine using 02/12 version then update it via cm updater to 5/12, works fine. try it your self.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] XSPG:
Hi,

I tried it out and it was really smooth but I wanted back to stock so I recovered a backup.

all was fine but Cyanogen Mod overwrites the Android folder on my sd card and now my phone can't acces to my internal storage and i also can't open album sony app. When I do this I get a warning which says I should provide storage.

What should I do?

Should I flash Cyanogen Mod again and recover all apps in hope it's working?

Yesterday I flashed the nightly build 12/06 (clean install) and it's running *great*, it's very smooth and I can see a drastic improvement in RAM management coming from CM 12.1. You are awesome [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]! That said, I have a strange issue with audio since there's nothing coming out from the speaker for notifications and multimedia, alarms work fine though and sounds can be heard when picking tones in the integrated android sound picker (e.g. when customizing tones for notifications and such). Audio in headphones is OK, it's just the speaker. I tried a bunch of settings but to no avail, what could it be?

Can I install and flash 14 on 13 without doing any wipes ???

If someone has tried it please share your experience

Dude try to read Q&A thread sometimes. It mostly covers all your questions. There is a link at the first post.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
Just updated to the 1012 build. The first thing I noticed is "Android System WebView has stopped" keeps popping up.

Also, ever since the 0512 build, for some reason, the WiFi strength seems to have dropped. I used to watch YouTube etc. from my bedroom, but now it keeps switching to mobile data because the WiFi signal strength is too low.

But just after updating, I dropped my phone, so it's either that or the update! :silly:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
Deactivate "Multiprocess Webview" in developer settings, after that it will work again.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] devilsworkshop:
I just checked, it actually was already deactivated, and enabling it doesn't help.

There's another problem that's (I think) related: a whole bunch of apps that use webview (I think) just stop responding whenever a webpage is loaded. Relay (Reddit client) FCs when I open a link, Sleipnir (browser) FCs when I ask it to load any webpage, Gmail FCs when I open an email, Naked Browser Pro (browser) doesn't load at all. The stock browser works fine, however.

Another thing: the display seems to be extra-sensitive, in some areas of the screen it detects a press even when I hover my finger over the screen. This never used to happen before, but now happens irrespective of whether the "High touch sensitivity" option is turned on or off.

Edit: I enabled multiprocess webview, rebooted, and disabled it, and now it works perfectly. Strangely enough, the screen sensitivity issue is also gone! :D

Also, for those interested, there's now a "Wake on plug" option under Display, and there's a new "Emergency" button in the power menu. Pressing it dials the emergency number, and there isn't yet a setting to disable it. (edit 2 - never mind, the emergency button disappeared after a reboot, so just ignore my post, there was clearly something weird going on! :silly:)

1. cyanogen updates not working on wifi (error: the update check failed. please check internet connection)

2. getting mails on gmail however not able to view emails. it doesnt load on opennig.

sometimes google play dont work on wifi.. had to use dns to get it working again.

i have tried clean install.. tried with other wifi also. but problem persists.

can anyone tell me the solution. it started with cm13 last months but even with upgrade to cm14.. hadnt been able to get it working

Firstly, you're in the wrong section. This is the development thread, questions like this one go into the regarding Q&A.

Secondly, I'll gladly help you solving your problem in the Q&A thread ;)

THERE (!), give me some info about your wifi router and whether you use stock firmware on this wifi router or maybe OpenWRT.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] NyQuilXT:
Hi Adrian,

at first I would like to say a BIG thank you for all the work you've put into this fantastic ROM. Some things I've noticed: Currently, updates triggered via CM updater don't start automaticly in TWRP. Is that a common CM issue at the moment? Also there are two error log entries "unknown command [log]" in twrp log output after updating.

At last, I would like to ask you, if the "lock screen blur" feature will be back or if it was removed in CM14?

Greets

Hi,

Since cm-14.1-20161211-NIGHTLY-huashan.zip, I think everything is working very very well! Again, good job to all, especially [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

I can see there are new builds every night, so maybe someone around here can tell me what has changed?

Is there any changelog or bugfix to read? It's already rock stable :) Is it possible to update throught CM Updater? Last time I tried it didn't work (bootloops) and I had to wipe everything and revert boot image with ADB : TWRP + manually flash latest nightly.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] rishiraz:
Hello everyone!

I've been using this ROM for a few days now and I am impressed by the efforts of the devs to keep this phone alive. Thank you very much devs.

My purpose for posting here is to clarify the "sensitive touch" issue. For those who do not know, Xperia SP has a touch panel similar to Xperia Sola which was known for it's magical "floating touch".

Let's look at the tech behind it(as explained by Sony itself). The touch panel has two layers of digitizers as opposed to one layer in rest of the phones. The outer layer is a regular capacitive panel which is used for regular use of the device.

The second layer that sits beneath is of a slightly different breed and has extended sensitivity, therefore registering touches without any physical contact.

Xperia Sola which came one year before SP had this key featured which was extensively advertised and also praised by many. SP on the other hand had a feature called " Glove mode" which I hope doesn't need an introduction(this feature came to Sola as well via software update as far as I can recall).

The only difference of touch panels of the two phones was that Sola had higher sensitivity, registering touches upto 2cm away, whereas SP could only register touches for about 2-3mm away(that would be sufficient for glove mode).

Now let's fast forward to Nougat. Based on what I have noticed by using my phone with this ROM, I can state that the screen works normally if "High touch sensitivity" is enabled. But when this option is disabled, what I call "Hover mode" gets activated. It's nothing different than hovering a cursor over your computer screen. So, when you hover your finger over a menu entry it simply highlights it like a mouse cursor.

So in what way can it be useful? Android is an OS optimized for touch screens, so most of the UI works without the need to hover the cursor. However, this "hover mode" can be useful while browsing the web. Haven't you wondered if you could open a submenu in a web page like you did it in your PC or laptop? This is possible when you are in "hover mode". Try it out yourself.

Now let's talk about those facing problems with this " feature". As someone(Adrian DC? I'm sorry, I can't recall whose post it was) mentioned earlier some of you might have replaced your touchscreen with a fake one, or have a faulty one(it's definitely possible with a phone that has been used for over three years). Your problem is unique to yours. Try to use your phone while the option is enabled and then while disabled and choose what works best for you. If neither work as expected let us know here and someone might be able to come up with a solution.

Cheers!
