finally its here....thnx gotta test ASAP...excited
[Sony Xperia M] Dimi72:
It's no longer required - even better to not use it to my opinion.

You disable the cache to get more memory free for storing apps, but with CM14/AOSP7 you can run apps from the SD card which should provide you more than enough storage.

I store my most used apps and the ones that are interactive ( keyboard, chrome, google app, ...) on internal shared storage. The others on my SD card. Caching gives your device an extra boost so I would keep it active.

You can enable the feature in Developer Options - Apps - Allow apps to be stored on external storage (I use a Dutch version so the translation might not be perfect).

Compilation of _device-related_ bugs in CM14 / LOS14

Don't forget that Lineage OS source now in active development – they porting features into clean Android.

So may appears non-device related bugs (regressions) which maybe will be fixed in next builds by CM contributors. Just wait.

You can find / report them on Jira bug-tracker

@PecanCM fixes only bugs related to our Xperia M.

Thanks to all users for responses!

Thanks to PecanCM and Lineage OS for this awesome ROM!

Setup Wizard force close

Wiped everything

flashed Beta 1, Dual sim patch and OpenGApps 7.1 pico

Stuck at "Setup Wizard keep stopping" dialog

Tried restarting but no luck, any suggestion?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
- Because here root is built-in Dual users finally can fully use Nougat.

- Patch for shrinking dalvik-cache size still works.

- Video recording still "jumping".

- MTP / USB-tethering still hard to enable.

- BTW default systemless SuperSU works, NO more required disabling SELinux

PecanCM, thanks for supporting M!

[Sony Xperia M] aness07:
Thanx a lot for this awesome work but i just want to aski if i can upgrade from cm13 officail rom to this rom without loosing data and i formated the sd card as internal space .. Is that possible ?.
[Sony Xperia M] kjinx01:
nice job
[Sony Xperia M] AyamPushUp:
Yes you can, I just did.

Make sure you wipe system & data before, and install new gapps.

and always do backup before take any action.
[Sony Xperia M] Shadow of Destiny:
Not sure how to fix it, having same problem.
[Sony Xperia M] fr3d3r1ko:
Having the same problem too. I am on a single-sim Xperia M.
[Sony Xperia M] mayanxoni:
You don't need to flash SuperSU. 'cause dude, it's CyanogenMod 14.1! It has inbuilt root functionality. If you flash SuperSU, you'd perhaps face a never ending bootloop. And finally, it's Android 7.1 for which Hana Kernel (or any kernel) isn't compiled yet. But I think NUI kernel supports Android 7.1 (wherever). Hope you understand.
[Sony Xperia M] Godlydevils:
I've got samsung EVO 16 gb card the one in orange color,

and apps are loaded instantly as I open menu drawer

to me the problem seems like, when rebooting, the sd card is ejected, which makes the shortcuts to be removed,

and honestly that was not happening on 7/12 rom,

also the thing was, there, it was shared internal storage, and not completely moved to sd card

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

1) Supersu works for 7/12 rom

2) Hana kernel is made for cm14.1

3) there are reasons for using supersu by chainfire, as some mods and apps require it

4) check out the recent post of hana kernel, the dev explained properly over there
[Sony Xperia M] mayanxoni:
OK dude! You might be right, 'cause I don't use that anymore (I'm using NUI, currently) and I use inbuilt root functionality.
[Sony Xperia M] Dimi72:
Hi guys,

I'm on the 20161209 nightly and I have three bugs :

1. the CM updater cannot find a recovery to automatically do the update ( TWRP 3.0.2.0 is installed )

2. the change log is not available (404 error).

3. I cannot connect it to my pc anymore to transfer files. I thought it worked in the beginning.

Does anyone have a solution for the third problem?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
1. For recovery, if you're already installed FOTA Recovery (TWRP) then CM can't read stock CM recovery. Because CM recovery isn't installed on your kernel (boot.img). So update progress is only with manually (reboot and flash the updated.zip)

2. For changelog 404, i don't know too why? :confused: it's already happen since we get second or third nightly build. But that not a big problem, because we still can look at cmxlog.com

3. For MTP, try to set in your Developer Option and find "Select USB Configuration" and select to charging only first and re-set it to MTP again. Try to do this before you're connect your device to your pc, MTP feature is still buggy i think in this build.

Okay, if you've any questions . Please ask in Q&A Thread ;)
[Sony Xperia M] cmtinker:
I've an unlocked Xperia M C1905 (Android 4.3, no CM installed up to now) with the boot.img from cm-14.1-20161215-NIGHTLY-nicki.zip transferred by

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then I tried to do this

from posting #73 to install this nightly and TWRP and to root it in CM later.

For that I copied the above mentioned zip to the SD-card, did in Cyanogenmod Recovery a Full Factory Reset and tapped on [Apply Update], [Choose from sdcard1], [cm-14.1-20161215-NIGHTLY-nicki.zip]

The process starts with the message "Installing System Update ...", but stops with the error message

E: Failed to find /misc partition

(This behaviour is reproducible)

Any suggestions how to proceed?
[Sony Xperia M] Garv Maggu:
Download TWRP recovery from here and rename it to boot.img and then transfer it using the same command as you tried earlier or use the command below.

fastboot flash recovery boot.img

Now, in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, internal storage.

Then flash the ROM, enjoy. :)
[Sony Xperia M] cmtinker:
Thanks, but the fastboot flash command fails during writing recovery :(

fastboot flash recovery boot.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (11208 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.862s]
writing 'recovery'...
[COLOR="Red"]FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)[/COLOR]
finished. total time: 0.880s

What should I do now?

Any permissions required?

The Xperia M is unlocked but not rooted up to now.
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Because we don't have "recovery" partition.

Just install TWRP via offical brand-new app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.twrp.twrpapp
[Sony Xperia M] cmtinker:
Seams to be easy, but coming from

fastboot flash boot boot.img

(boot.img from cm-14.1-20161215-NIGHTLY-nicki)

the Xperia M can boot into fastboot and into the Cyanogenmod Recovery but can't boot into Android anymore.

How can the "offical brand-new TWRP app" be installed then? :confused:
[Sony Xperia M] Garv Maggu:
Try the flashtool from here and then flash the TWRP as kernel, boot into TWRP and flash your desired ROM. :)
[Sony Xperia M] cmtinker:
Up to now this flashtool is a suspicious black box for me and I don't understand what you mean with "flash the TWRP as kernel".

I would prefer to install TWRP by some simple steps with low risc. Is this possible with an unlocked but not rooted Xperia M C1905

that reaches flashmode

that reaches the nightly zip internal Cyanogenmod Recovery

that doesn't boot into Android?

What would also help is a hint how to get the device to boot into Android again. Or a hint which of the three official TWRP install methods works in this case ...............................
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Download recovery image. Flash it by issuing

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

Of course, you'll need fastboot and drivers on your PC and device needs to be connected in fastboot mode. Then start the device, it will boot to recovery. Flash ROM, GApps, and recovery image (put twrp.img into your internal storage or sdcard via MTP, select "Install" in TWRP, press "Image" button, select twrp.img and choose "recovery"). Reboot and enjoy.
[Sony Xperia M] veerakash:
Thanks bro for this rom:good:

One problem i noticed is during Call, Volume is too loud with speaker off. When speaker is on volume is slight low.

I can't make a private call to someone. Is there any fix for this??
[Sony Xperia M] aaquib786:
Just lower the call volume using volume keys or from settings :)
[Sony Xperia M] veerakash:
Still it is not so LOW
[Sony Xperia M] cmtinker:
Perfect, this works like a charme :D

Booting into CM lasted 8 minutes, but only the first boot. I'm very impressed by the newest CM-Version on such a lean device - thanks to all contributors especially to cucumber09's posting quoted here :D

I assume by installing twrp.img in such a way the FOTAKernel install is done too.

Further cucumber09 gave in the quoted posting a fourth TWRP install method - additionally to the 3 official TWRP install methods (App Install Method, TWRP Install, dd Install) - that is very easy to be realized from fastboot mode also by a newbie as me.

Therefore "... then fastboot flash boot.img from rom zip" in post #1 install instructions is not helpful, because it leads to the poor Cyanogenmod Recovery.

Coming from the preconditions in post #192 I took some additional precautions without to know if they are required:

(A) First I copied the twrp.img onto the microSD-card (Cardreader and Windows). So after that there was no USB-connection to the Xperia required to transfer files. Reason: After booting into Cynogenmod Recovery and connecting USB cable I couldn't find functional USB-drivers, despite the fastboot mode worked already. Therefore I was not sure if TWRP would do it better.

(B) After

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

I disconnected the USB-cable => Xperia Off, pushed physical power button, then I pushed Volume up/down/up/down until TWRP.

Later support HCE for our chip was removed from Android and therefore it caused instant crashing NFC app, so HCE was disabled.

Transfer Media Files

Hi guys, I use the adoptable storage option for my external sd card. Since it cannot be read on any other devices such as my laptop, I have no idea how to transfer my music and photos files.

The MTP mode also does not work, it always goes back to charging only mode whenever I plugged in to any computer (windows/mac).

Is there any alternative way to transfer media files into the device, or do I have to update/install something to my laptop and my xperia?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
MTP mode does not work default, but while u connect phone to laptop u have to choose "transfer files" option 2-3-4 times. This work for me. Another method is u can use xender app.

[Sony Xperia M] gavinfernandes2012:
I think if you set up adopted storage then it recreates the partition table, so all old partitions are gone, but I may be wrong as I only had this phone (and used adopted) in the marshmallow days.
[Sony Xperia M] hhjadeja007:
I tried that. Didn't work for me. When you choose to format sd card to use as adoptable storage, it formats all the partitions.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
It didn't work or that process isn't complete than you cancel it? After your sdcard is formatted, then that only format your EXT SDCard only. After that your external sdcard will join with your internal storage, try to migrate data from your internal storage to external storage after format process complete. Android will automatically give that suggest and you must choose migrate or you can do it manually

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Please remind that this feature will work correctly with sdcard class 4 as minimal class for adopted storage, if you've below than requirement. Than don't they this feature, or you'll have problem. Please do a migrate data from internal to external data, or your storage still read your internal storage. Not fully migrated, just remind to use stock kernel, stock official cm14.1 or lineage 14.1 without any mod or xposed to report any problem. If you use any mod or custom kernel. Then you can't report any problem on official OT for this thread.
