I fully understand all this but what I was trying to answer is a bit different. I was trying to say that we can't use sd card as a portable storage after we use it as adoptable storage no matter how many partitions you make in sd card.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
No, you can't use your sdcard as portable storage again after you adopt it. System will fully read your sdcard as internal storage that have expanded with your real internal storage, no matter if you try to create many partition on it.

Because if your sdcard is already adopted, that your sdcard is already encrypted and re-formatted as ext 4 / fuse file system if i'm not wrong. So i think that's impossible to create any partition and change it to portable storage after you adopt it. And if you create many partition before do adopt, and you want to create adopt and only choose your selected partition as adoptable and other partition as portable. That's impossible i think, our system will wipe our sdcard partition (re-partition) it will wipe all and create new only one partition with encrypted code that only can read in your device.

Anyway why you need to do that?
[Sony Xperia M] petjacz:
I tried it with success (on ressurection remix 5.8.0. nougat with rename bug) but some more work is needed (backup whole micro sd, partition with Apps2SD - blue screenshot, do some experiments with restoration, app moving etc.) . No one tried it on CM 14.1 ?
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Please only shared thread for cm14.1 in only cm14.1 thread, and same like any other topic. Try to make thread clean and follow the rules OK.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Hi every one,

Yesterday new version of TWRP is released.

But not for our device yet.

Because we have not supported[emoji27]

[MENTION=5917809]cucumber09[/MENTION] if you have a free time and it's easy for you, can you make it for us???

Thanx for your hard work [emoji106]
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Not only you that hope that bro ;), we are waiting too :D.
[Sony Xperia M] litemaster:
I followed this guide once to manually create a partially adopted storage (3GB out of 16 - way too much, as only few apps can actually be migrated):

http://blog.sam.liddicott.com/2016/02/android-6-semi-adopted-storage.html?m=1

Has been working fine since CM13 (now on LineageOS 14.1).
[Sony Xperia M] petjacz:
[MENTION=438726]nicklas[/MENTION]: my question was intended to semi adopted storage on CM 14.1, this is not the right forum for this?
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Yes, sorry i'm too aggressive to answer it. I don't get it with "semi" or event "permanent" adopted that what are you mean, okay i'm wrong on this discussion.

Forgive me, Anyway :eek:. I got a headache now, yes for this thread you can include it on this thread.

So you want to try semi adopted, if that work on RR i think that can work with CM 14.1 too. But i'm not sure for Lineage for itself. Lineage already get update weekly, if many code is changed then i don't know.

Honestly i don't know about algorithm for semi permanent adopted storage, because in permanent adopted. Internal and external will merge in one storage, but your storage will still read 2 storage in storage manager in android.

first is your real internal storage, that only function for store updated internal apps data. And second is your external storage that have managed all data,apps and major function from your internal data excluded system apps capacity.

When i'm saw in your screenshot about semi adopted storage, i'm not sure too. because your total internal shared storage is still 4GB (our stock size for nougat). With no addition second storage that have function for adopted storage (your extsdcard).

In that screenshot, you've two partitions for portable storage. one is 4GB and other is 22GB. Both of that partitions is still read as portable not adopted in android system.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Maybe, you can give me screenshot one apps that you're already move it to your semi adopted storage partition. Upload screenshot about details apps and i'll check about data store management in that storage.

For details is, if in that app. All app data included app,data and cache is already locate on your semi adopted storage partition (not still need internal storage to store data). And then your guide is work successfully, but if not. then that maybe still have wrong guide or maybe you miss something.
[Sony Xperia M] petjacz:
[MENTION=438726]nicklas[/MENTION]: Here are my screenshots (new situation, changed adopted size to 5GB): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71409949&postcount=137
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Okay, great for that post. That's semi adopted, great job bro :D.
[Sony Xperia M] jokergermany:
Thanks for your answers and sorry for the discussion.

After i flashed the rom, after a couple of hours the device died.

It only show the Charging LED for a second if i connect it for charging, nothing more.... -__-
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
If you have last twrp, try to wipe every thing and install rom and Gapps again.
[Sony Xperia M] jokergermany:
The device is doing nothing anymore dispite of showing the notification led for a second when you carge it.

I can not start it, nothing.

I was in cm while the device suddenly powered off and it never revives...
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Try to take off battery some while then install last LineageOS and last Gapps. If you can't try to flash stock rom and start from the beginning.
[Sony Xperia M] iknshane:
Hi! I just want to say thanks! after 2 and a half months of using this, (Installed on Jan 17, 2017) it's still working perfectly! Camera quality was improved from my previous CM install (CM 11, I think). The only problem I have is I can't access the SD card when connected to my laptop. I'll have to try the MTP Enabler though.

Since this is an old model phone, it has a bit low internal memory. I tried formatting my sd card into 'internal memory' but I can't seem to move apps there. :/ any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
I recommend you to use latest lineage os or ressurection remix instead of CM.

Format again sd card as internal. I came across this problem when i format sd card as internal and then flash another rom.
[Sony Xperia M] iknshane:
Let me clarify, if I install the latest lineage os and then format sd card as internal will work? Or do I have to format sd card as internal before flashing a new os?

Also, with CM14, I was unable to see the sd card directory when changing default path saving for files, like shareit. :(
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
Always format sd card as internal after flashing rom.

I assume you can't move apps to sd card, it may be resolve after format. If you can't see folders from settings->storage tap on menu and choose show internal memory.

You can also try force allow app in external from developer option.
[Sony Xperia M] iknshane:
Okay. Thanks! Now downloading Resurrection ROM v5.8.2, because LineAge OS doesn't support XM C1905 yet :(

Will give feedback later!
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
No it's support our device here,

https://download.lineageos.org/nicki
[Sony Xperia M] iknshane:
Oh! Nice! Guess I was looking at the wrong site!

So how do I go on installing it? Download's already done. Hehe
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Wipe every thing then flash LineageOS and gapps.

Edit..

If you want super su for that, use this add-on here https://download.lineageos.org/extras

and maybe now one know about him again :(.

Sorry
[Sony Xperia M] H4NNE5:
If I flash "boot.img" I get a CWM recovery and no TWRP. And there are no FOTA flashing instructions at all.

First I tried to install the TWRP in the first place, but this whole FOTA setup makes me confused. According to this thread I flashed the "FOTA TWRP 2.8.7.0" Kernel first (recovery is accessable) and after that the latest nicki TWRP from their website but firstly that leaves the blue LED on when I remove the USB cable after flashing and secondly after removing/reinserting the battery and booting up again I only get to the 2.8.7.0 recovery again. So the installation of the latest recovery didn't work.

Do you have any ideas what could be wrong here?
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
So u had recovery on boot partition. No problem, u can flash twrp on recovery partition from your twrp(which is on boot position). Then you can access this recovery by power+volume up.

I recommend you to get latest twrp 3.0.2.
[Sony Xperia M] H4NNE5:
I flashed the FOTW-TWRP 2.8.7.0 again via Flashtool, but WHERE is an option to flash a .img-file (twrp-3.0.2-0-nicki.img) from the SD card to which I transferred the file to??

It only shows me the .zip files of the ROM and gapps.
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
Select install->install img in recovery. If you don't see that option then that version of twrp can't flash image. In that cast you have to flash latest twrp with flashtool or minimal adb by typing few command.
[Sony Xperia M] H4NNE5:
Hm that old version explains the problem then, but I can't update to the latest version:

Using "minimal ADB and Fastboot" I flashed TWRP like in the image but the problem is that after I remove the USB cable the blue LED stays on and I have to remove the battery to be able to start the phone. And then there is no TWRP to access, the phone just boots normally-->because I read in another post that TWRP requires this FOTA Kernel for which I only have the "FOTA TWRP 2.8.7.0.
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
Your command is wrong. It should: fastboot flash boot xxx.img

Or you can also install recovery direct in recovery partition by:fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
[Sony Xperia M] H4NNE5:
Ok, "flash boot" was the correct one, but "flash recovery" returned a "FAILED. Command not allowed".

So TWRP is actually a boot and not a recovery image?

Thank you for your help. What you told me, why isn't that mentioned in this thread then???
[Sony Xperia M] Keyursoni:
Now you have latest recovery. First install recovery on recovery partition (with your boot recovery) then it will be permanent. Then flash your rom.

So 27.04 build is last.

Well, M had very good support from [MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION] starting end 2013, huge thanks for him.

I remind, that none of flagships and other powerful Sony phones (Z1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Compcats, XZ, etc) not had and still not have offical support by CM/LOS 12/13/14, but our had starting CM11.

Also offical support ended on Android 4.3, but we have 7.1.2 (!)
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:

I'm glad that we had official support because I can easily build LOS every week on my PC. Thanks [MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION]

Question: are repositories going to be kept?
[Sony Xperia M] ps_minky16:
[MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION]

I have been using your working from past 4years (android kitkat days) and wanted to say that you were the only dev who kept our nicki alive for so many years. Thanks alot for your support.

Now were can we see you again?

Kenzo or some other device?
[Sony Xperia M] AdrianDC:
[MENTION=6768842]krouma[/MENTION] : We do not delete sources and history, no risk of that ever happening.

Sadly Ron has been inactive for quite some time and I hope to hear from him again sooner or later.

That is why I decided (+ supported by others) to get Xperia M nicki releases to be disabled.

We are hoping to see nicki sources and kernel vulnerabilities updated to match release objectives again one day.
[Sony Xperia M] mayanxoni:
Hi [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION]!

That's a really a sad news to hear that Xperia M won't get any official updates from LineageOS :crying: . I know that [MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION] has been inactive here for a long time. But isn't it possible for you to be a maintainer of the devices? :D
[Sony Xperia M] AdrianDC:
Sorry but we can't maintain devices we do not own.

Even if kernel patches build fine, or device updates make 'sense',

we can't test on a real device, handle issues reported and so on.
[Sony Xperia M] mayanxoni:
Alright brother!

Well, now it feels like there's not gonna be any further development for this device and it'll become obsolete soon. :crying:
[Sony Xperia M] hhjadeja007:
Well you are losing the hope too early mate. Maybe someone else would build lineage os. Our community is still very strong.
[Sony Xperia M] mayanxoni:
Yeah, you are right. Will have a positive hope from now on. ;)
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
For those who use built-in root and want hide it's icon in status-bar.

It's possible via SystemUI Tuner app.

I am rooted > Get teh permz > side menu > Status Bar > SU Icon

Then you can delete app.

Or manual method

Also as usual you can flash SuperSU.
[Sony Xperia M] mayanxoni:
Are you sure that flashing SuperSU will not get me into bootloop? 'cause I remember last time when I flashed it on CM13, I got into bootloop.

Sorry for the offtopic but need some urgent advice here..

I have a xperia m dual device but want to flash a rom which supports xperia m single only

Earlier flashtool worked wonders... single to dual firmware and vica versa flashed my phone many times

But now each and every time i try to flash it gives error with loader sin somewhat like processing of loader sin finished with error and flash aborted

Any ways my question is i have twrp installed so can i flash the modem only file from xperia m single ??

i dont care about data loss ..

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Not enough, required to boot into stock.

Check this

And try much older FT version.
[Sony Xperia M] SunitTalwar:
Ohkk thanks but my version of flashtool used to work fine earlier

Anyways which version of flashtool you are using ?

I tried versions 0.9.13.0 ,0.9.22.3,0.9.23.1 all these have same error with loader.sin

What i have learned till now is that my ftf has no loader .sin and the flashtool uses the loader from the devices folder which is in turn synced from github

So can you please link me a ftf with included loader.sin file ??

Thanks

...................................................

Even the ftf downloaded from xperiafirm(flashtool) gave the same error so trying to restore backup and flash radio method given in your links below

........................................

can anyone tell me where is the download link??
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
2 All

I remind, that here you can download fresh unofficial builds by zoomersam

Wipe /data required if install over official build, otherwise you get may FC's at boot.

There fixed two important vulnerabilities: BlueBorne (Bluetooth) and Krack (Wi-Fi)

Also there enabled waking up device by volume buttons, useful to reduce wear of power button.

So if you still on official build I strongly recommend to update.

P.S. LOS removed last official build (27.04.17), here mirror.

Gotta say this. I'm missing [MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION] now when a new Android version has arrived. I remember we got all the latest Android releases in the form of ALPHAs within a week for our nicki (upto N). I remember Nougat was done by him in just 3-4 days! Man, you really did a great work here. Respect from my side once again. All the Sony Developers like you, Adrian etc are next level! I have a 3T (one of the most popular device on xda) but I know no one can do the magic that you used to do so fast :D Though I know you have given up on nicki but still I wanted to write this :)

Good wishes!

Yeah I was also remembering the same actually. Part of me wants him to atleast release the alpha version of oreo but that's coming from the evil temptation inside me.

[Sony Xperia M] Shadow of Destiny:
Found a Patch:

Flash Cyanogenmod 13.0 (from PecanCM),

Flash 6.0 Gapps,

Wipe data and cache,

Install CM 14.1 and 7.1 Gapps,

(I have insalled my data (not system, just data) backup from previous AOSP Beta 3, maybe this was the fix, not sure)

NOTE: Recovery will be changed to some other Recovery thats broken (kinda), so just replace boot.img with twrp named boot.img to stay at twrp.

EDIT: Boot the CM 13, and do your setup, then make just a data backup in twrp. Flash this backup then, and you might a positive result.

Tested on C1905.
[Sony Xperia M] ps_minky16:
Just an Update guys. Please dont flash Rom and Gapps together.

Flash beta 1

Boot setup

Then boot into recovery and flash Gapps 7.1 pico.

And it will not give any force close.

Hope i helped.
[Sony Xperia M] fr3d3r1ko:
Did as you suggested! It worked.

PS:Thank you, PecanCM, again!

Edit: In my case, I just flashed CM13.0 (last nightly) and then CM14.1 ,since I had wiped every partition before (cache, data, internal storage, system and davik). Seeing the first post, it was never told to wipe system/internal storage partitions, so I think that's probably what we were supposed to do at first!

I will be flashing Gapps soon, will post the result.

Edit2: Just checked that the "setup wizard" is the old version, not the CM one. Gapps working fine

Edit3: Found 2 bugs so far (I having problems to add the screenshots, so I will try to describe them):

1 - When you put "Drawer style" to compact, the icons in the drawer seems to not be centered anymore.

2 - After I put my SD Card as Internal Storage, the SD Card is working flawlessly, but in the storage settings, the maximum SD capacity is equal to the Internal Storage (from the phone), which is 3.69GB, in my case. So, I have a 16GB SD Card, and the storage settings is showing I used "-10.31 GB used of 3.69GB" from the SD Card.

Edit4: Due to bug number 2, you cannot move apps to different storages. So if you want to install in the SD Card, you're going to need to install direct to it, applying that option in dev.options mentioned before in the topic. (Not all apps show this problem)

Edit5: Another bug: Battery Status Style in Status Bar menu doesn't work properly.

I Hope it helps. I will be using the rom as my daily driver, so anything I find I will post asap.

Beside these minor bugs, rom is very stable.
