Pls anyone help me which version i Need for flash the gapps.. my rom is 14.1-20161125-NYGHTLY- huashan.. .. And i Need wipe data? or just install gapps
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] todonormal:
Arm 7.1 pico, nano or you select. But, i always wipe and data reset (my election). You have twrp? Install both zips, first huashan, gapss and restart
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcallmann:
Twrp, no i dont have.. how can I have this twrp.. BUT my google play store has stopped .. Its my issue
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engr_exxi:
I think you came from CM 13, and a regular dirty flash would not help w/o flashing the gapps after the cm14 zip. It is already explained. if you are reading carefully.

So better do these steps:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Install cm14 zip (do not reboot)

3. Install gapps. then reboot.

On how to install twrp it is already is the first page of the original post. here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-xperia-sp-t3461738

there is a link there to take you to the twrp page. and guides on how to install it.

Sometimes reading thoroughly is a great help when troubleshooting or doing modifications on your devices.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcallmann:
Solved

Just only install twrp by apk and after wipe partion and then install gapps (location inside) from cyanogem recovery. So google paly service is ok.... Thanks everyone for help......:good::good:

I received the cm 14.1 OTA update on cm 13.1 can I update or I have to do a clean flash
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engr_exxi:
You can update but make sure you flash the gapps before booting it. Or you will have the playstore error pops up..

For me I always do a clean install when changing android version, since I do not have some critical apps or files installed.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Cm14 is not battery friendly w/ wifi and even worse when using mobile data. I even turned on the battery optimization, (I doubt if it works) and still I got an average 6 hours usage on my mobile.. CM13 is more battery friendly for me but I think performance wise, CM14 is better. I rarely experience that freezes that I have at CM13.

If you are referring to File explorer app included with the ROM, the SD card root access I think is broken, and there is a root application already included in the Rom, you can access it at the developer options.

I'm not Adrian, but I'm pretty sure he will ask you for logs.

Have them posted before he's back, then you'll be helped faster ;)

Anyway, don't expect the booting time of an Xperia XA. My phone always takes a minute or more to boot. Doesn't bother me, I only turn it off for updates. Performance while running is much more important ;)

I didn't quite get your super long sentence.

Am I right you're able to get into recovery, but you're not able to boot Android?

You have to explain more detailed what "doesn't install the update" means. Doesn't find the file, doesn't get through the installation process, gives you an error or just hangs...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engr_exxi:
There is an error. Like E: unknown command, when flashing ROM.

It of course takes a while to boot specially if the update is major and system apps update, as you can notice, optimizing app step is missing. So the system is optimizing in the background to give you a smooth performance once it is finished.

have you tried to. press the volume up / volume down button after the sony logo when starting your device? This is the quick access to Cyanogen / TWRP recovery, supposing you are starting when you unit is turned off.

You can also try to install recovery using FOTA. Check the installation steps and detail here. I used this method to upgrade and install TWRP on my device.

Btw what is the android green? and the color circle?

Every now and then, we all do stupid stuff like this. Once I wondered why my TV won't turn on. Wasn't plugged in, took me half an hour to find out :D

In my opinion, this rom (and all off customs rom) doesnt stable. im trying nightly versions and phone freezing after about one day passes. 4.3 stock rom better than. There is a big effort and thank you for this but situation is clear. We also have to accept that our phone is old :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAvengingTITAN:
I'd like to disagree, and take my word for it considering I'm using a OnePlus 3. I tried one of the very first builds of nougat on my SP and I still found it stable. Despite its dated hardware, I do believe that it is one of the best performing devices in that spec range.

If you have issues with freezing, I'd advise you to look into observing what apps are hogging precious resources that could possibly be slowing the device down. Most of us here use apps like Greenify to hibernate apps to ensure a smooth experience and get a better battery life as well.

In comparison to stock, this ROM is miles ahead when it comes to security and stability in my opinion and I'd strongly advise you give it another shot. But it all boils down to what you want to do.

Best of luck :)
