[Q] [question] minicm7 2.1.9 to 2.2.0 questions - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently on minicm7 2.1.9. My questions are:
(1) If I update to 2.2.0, will my settings be wiped?
(2) Is the any difference between updating via auto update and download then flash?
(3) I forgot what I was about to type here, dammit.
(4) Is it only me or other people also can't install chainfire 3d on 2.1.9 (or maybe the other apps I installed are messing with it)
(5) I want the old auto brightness / screen dimming from 2.0.7, how can I get it back? I followed the autobrightness thread but it just messed my phone.

For sure. Wiping is one of the main prerequicities for stable ROM working

Yep. Custom ROMs/Kernel have no such functionality as autoupdate.

Use option install and reboot and you will succeed
It looks like install using CWM doesn't work for 2.1.9 (at least in my phone, as well as in 2.2.0)

Thanks man. I think I'll just wait for more updates. It takes me about one day to get my phone working the way I want it perfectly after a flash, even with titanium backup. But that ardeno lib update is just sooo tempting.

wouldnt matter, if it gives an error in clockwork mod then clearly it didnt do what it was supposed to do.. or did i miss something?
not saying it to attack you or anything just.. might wanna do a once over.. perhaps test it before you throw it out for the public?

Yup. This was ported from the One. So expected to not work. But shouldn't be difficult to fix that.
Thanks a lot for what all of you did to getting MIUI on the Xperia Z !
I will be following this thread to give you feedback.
On the other thread, i mentioned my data network didn't work, forget that. I check my access point and it work perfectly now.
But i was really surprised when i wanted to go to my clockworkmod and i saw a "Teamwin mod"-thing... It's not very kind to do some thing we didn't want...
Somebody have a *.zip to get back my old clockworkmod ? Thanks
The MIUI V5 Rom work very well. Unfortunately, there is the SD Card problem who cause a lot of ForceClose. But i'm sure you will get it work.
Keep the good work guys !
PS: Sorry for my bad english speaking, i'm french.

The recovery is built into the kernel. If you want me to post CWM, I shall post another boot.img. However, I do suggest you to try TWRP. It's much faster and easier.

Sorry @alnikki25k for a bit of a thread steal (its OK we're a team). You know this means. Sense 5.0 from the One is possible. Forget our Droid DNA port cause that ruined my phone (Sony are replacing it). I'll talk later on Hangouts in more depth cause I had a Sense 5.0 ROM that booted (stuck on the boot screen just like the original versions of yours and my MIUI builds, However Android being Android, ADB won't work...)

The storage maybe the services.jar problem.
In services.jar.out\smali\com\android\server the all filename start with MountService
I think we need patch some code from yuga
this services mount the usb storage

I was actually thinking about this as well. If we could get Sense 5 to work somehow, it would be fantastic! And go ahead and steal lol. I am working on mounting the storage now.

rooted Z1 with automatic system updates

Hey
I have C6903 with boot-loader unlock enabled (didn't touch it).
Currently I am running unrooted stock rom.
I want to root my device but I don't want (and don't have the time) to flash an updated rom each time android gets updated
long story short..
I want to get automatic system updates on rooted device without rerooting or reflushing my device.
In addition I would like to keep using some of sony's features (like stamina mode) but erase the rest.
thanks for the help!

It is not possible. All the System Updates will wipe your Root. To keep Root you will have to do it manually all the time when a Update will be available. Apps updates like Walkman ecc.. You will can update them Automatcally.

What is the closest solution to my request?
You send me your phone in the post so I can do it for you.
I mean, in all honesty, how busy do you have to be so that flashing a rom is too much trouble for you.
You could have it rooted and flashed in the time between your two posts in this thread

In my Opinion when you will get a 4.3 or 4.4 Rooted and Deodexed Android and it satisfide your needs, then any Update is unecessary.
Stock is good.
Updates make huge changes and sometime they are not the right choice.
Like a new phone come on the market then is the same with Android.
You don't have to buy it.
Am I right?

You just can't install system app, you must move it to /system/app and set correct permissions (644) via TWRP or good file manager ( ES File Explorer for example)

Ah yes, I managed it using adb in the end. The phone still crashes on incoming phonecalls though. Any ideas on how this can be patched up to work before a new release is pushed out?

[DISCUSSION] Cyanogenmod 13 for the Huawei P9 Lite

This thread was made to keep the development thread of Cyanogenmod 13 clean.
If you have any question related to this rom,feel free to ask here!
EDIT
Due to certain circumstances and requests by several people to share my link of the CM build I produced,here is the link to the folder:
DOWNLOAD
NOTE
The source code is by Meticulus.
This is also for those who installed the CM build on the Honor 5C,please do give feedback so a Working/Not Working list can be assembled.
Used cyanogenmod 13 for a while on this phone but decided to revert back to stock because of the camera. now when i try to install it and do a factory reset from twrp i cant!
on twrp boot it gives me an error that it cant mount /data (no such file or destination) thus not wiping it, thus not being able to install cm13. any help?
EDIT: seems that twrp doesnt detect internal storage at all. shows 0mb available , but i can browse it on the stock file manager just fine. ideas?

How difficult will it be to get a CM 14 build up and running once we have a working CM 13 build (using CM13 as template)?
Just wondering because first CM 14 builds are out for other devices.

CM13 can't be used as a template.
Other devices got CM14 because:
a)their stock rom stopped at MM,but their developers made the blobs open source,so they can easily go to CM14
b)they already have stock N,so they simply use the blobs from it.
Our device doesn't meet none of the provided scenarios,we will probably get stock N on December,and only then will we be able to start working on it.

I don't understand why people don't respect developers will.. They can work on whatever they want, if you have these kind of request just build your own ROM.
