Sony Xperia V CM11 M11 issue
Aria.A97 said:
Snapshot builds are usually more stable than nightly ones and by fact they have less bugs and they release every month. If this is your first try then flash latest Snapshot M11 build. I'm not on CM right now but I think its stable enough for daily use, Because my Carbon ROM is based on CM and it's stable

Hello, i installed CM11 M11 for my Xperia V LT25i. I rooted my device with Towelroot, i unlocked the bootloader, and Philz Recovery. All fine, i wiped data, cache and dalvik, after that when i tryed to install zip from sd, it told me that my device is mint and i couldn't install. It took me like an hour to find an flashtool and get my device working again. What do i have to do or what have i done wrong? I want CM11, thank you in advance.

extract boot.img from the zip you've downloaded, then flash it with fastboot. reboot, press volume up and down when orange led appears and you're good to go

Hi all,
has anyone problems while accessing the internal SD Card?
Whatever I try (different nightlies over the last months, fullwipes and so on): if I try to write on the internal sdcard (e.g. with the file manager, mount point "storage/sdcard0) I get "Permission denied" error. Also if I open a terminal as root it shows the same behavior. The only way to write to the internal sdcard is via a root terminal and the mount point "/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0".
The phone is unusable for me in this state.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks and best regards

I had the same issue and used the stock-rom to reformat the external SD card. But here is another idea from a German board. Sent you the link via PM, I can't post links and can only use the Q&A thread because I'm new...
Defier said:
Ich habe jetzt auch CM11, und hätte ich mich bloß an diesen Thread erinnert. Ich hatte nun leider genau das gleiche Problem wie hier beschrieben. So wie es aussieht, möchte Android die interne SD-Karten-Partition (sdcard0) gerne als vfat formatiert haben. Das kann mit folgendem Befehl ermittelt werden:
Code:
mount|grep sdcard0
Hier der Auszug von einem funktionstüchtigen, mit Kitkat laufenden Gerät:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:3 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0007,dmask=0007,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard0 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
Auf dem Xperia sieht die Sache dagegen so aus (CWM formatiert die Partition halt mit ext4):
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:15 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 ext4 rw,dirsync,context=u:object_r:sdcard_external:s0,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard0 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=2800,group_id=2800,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
Der Trick besteht also darin, die SD-Karte "einfach" mit FAT zu formatieren. Da der Befehl mkfs.vfat in Busybox leider fehlerhaft ist (siehe dazu external sd - Format SD card after playing with fdisk (No card reader) - Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange) kann man entweder wie dort beschrieben eine andere Binary reinkopieren, oder man benutzt einfach mkfs.exfat für die Formatierung (was eigentlich kein Fat32 sondern exfat erzeugt). Folgende drei Befehle (als root) haben bei mir geholfen:
ACHTUNG: bitte den Partitionsnamen (/dev/block/vold/179:15) im nachfolgenden Code nicht einfach blind eingeben, er muss mit der Ausgabe oben übereinstimmen sonst formatiert ihr womöglich eine andere Partition was zu einem Brick führen kann!
Code:
umount /storage/sdcard0
umount /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
mkfs.exfat /dev/block/vold/179:15
Danach ist die Karte exfat formatiert. Wenn man sie nun mittels des Menüs löscht (Speicher -> Speicherkarte löschen) wird sie wieder sauber eingebunden und die Kamera startet einwandfrei. Ausgabe des mount-Befehls sieht jetzt wie folgt aus:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:15 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 fuseblk rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard0 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=2800,group_id=2800,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
Also fuseblk statt vfat - scheint aber trotzdem zu gehen (auch nach einem Neustart).
Geht also auch ohne den Umweg über Stock.

Or you could just do this; a lot simpler.

This is a great rom with fluid ui and very fast. It suffer some stutter tho when quitting an app and going back to the home screen but using stock rom for years, it's quite common actually. I can tolerate this as this problem was consistently persist when I was using stock rom. There are however some annoying bug that get me uncomfortable such as;
1. Sometimes when charging, the led light doesn't appear at all. But after reboot it's go back to normal but it still happen after that
2. My phone was suddenly reboot and I lost my homescreen. Battery was drained although it was full before that
These are just bug I encountered but overall, I like this rom. KitKat is awesome.
And the best part is we can finally get full colored emoji ??

last CM11 tsubasa build
Where can I find the last of the CM11 tsubasa builds? Were there any nightlies after CM11 M12? I can't find anything on cyanogen downloads page and the FXP CM11 download page doesn't list a tsubasa build.

How to downgrade back to WM 6.0?

Hi together.
I think I speak for nearly everybody who has checked out the "Upgrade" to 6.1: it's a complete failure!
There are so many softwares which do not run anymore making no problems on the original ROM. HTC must have known about Skype not to run anymore. Not letting the users know that this (to many of us important) software does not run anymore is something I would almost call mean. The second important software to me by the way is TCPMP, which also doesn't run anymore as long as mpeg-4 (Xvid) support is not removed.
I could not experience any(!) improvements so far, but many disadvantages.
So, in order to be able to use my Kaiser again, I would like to "upgrade" from 6.1 to 6.0 again. Does anybody know where to get the ROM? I have got the German version of the Kaiser and also would need the German ROM...
Thanks in advance...

As this is your first post , welcome to the Forum. Now for the unpleasantries. Please read the Kaiser Wiki and the forum rules before posting in the future. The short comings of Official 6.1 are well documented in many other exsisting threads. Starting a new thread on an exsisting suject is a No ,No here and against forum rules and will win you no friends here.
All the information you need is in the Wiki including all previous roms. Good luck and remember it is not nice to ask other people to search for information for you. Good Luck.

seeing as your new I'll let you off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394369
watch the great anticipation decline into disgust as you read through the thread
can anybody upload the official german wm 6.0 ROM for htc mobiles? I want to downgrade from 6.1 to 6.0 too.
i didn't found it here..
Check out the reconstructed ROMS link in my sig. In the future, read the sticky in the ROM Development forum and/or the FAQ.
Back to German 6.0, short recipie for dummies (like me)
Got my Kaiser back to 6.0! I hope it's okay to post it like this, saving beginners much time reading in wikis and other pages. As this concerns mostly German people I think I can switch language now.
Also, um das fürchterlichste Update aller Zeiten loszuwerden haben sich die Leute von XDA-developers etwas einfallen lassen. Und das beste daran: es funktioniert!
Hier eben eine kleine Anweisung wie ich es gemacht habe. Bitte keine Hintergrundinfos von mir erfragen, ich weiß mal gerade was man tun muss, um wieder auf 6.0 zu kommen. Was sich da im Hintergrund tut, naja, dafür gibt’s die Experten.
Was man braucht:
- kaiser-HardSPLv1.zip Gibt’s hier im Forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=53280&d=1191643466
- Das ROM:
Für den Original-HTC bietet sich an:
http://rapidshare.com/files/68746159/KaiserHTC_GER_1.56.407.3Reconstructed.rar
Ansonsten mal hier schauen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
- Das Radio Update:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radinly_1.27.12.11_CustomRUU.rar
Falls die links so nicht funktionieren, einfach mal nach den Dateinamen googeln oder den Artikel lesen.
Schritt 1:
Um den Kaiser überhaupt „fremde“ ROMs akzeptieren zu lassen benötigen wir HardSLP.
Wie man dieses Update installiert schaut man sich am besten erst einmal hier an:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaCt5pUn6iI
Schritt 2:
Nachdem man alle seine Lieblingsdaten gesichert hat startet man das Update. Dazu gibt’s nicht viel zu sagen. Einfach den Anweisungen auf dem Bildschirm folgen.
Schritt 3:
Nachdem der Kaiser wieder hochgefahren ist und seine Software installiert hat, muss man noch das Radio-Update installieren. Sonst klappt’s wohl mit den Verbindungen nicht. Das Upgrade macht bei 95% eine Denkpause, geht dann aber weiter, also keine Panik.
Et voila, der Kaiser ist wieder „heile“. Ich hab’s genau so gemacht und alles funktioniert wieder, natürlich auch Skype!!
___________________________________________
Experiences with this Update.
From what I can tell after one week of using it, I can say that it behaves pretty much like it did before I x-graded to 6.1. The only thing that does not "work" anymore is the Windows Update feature. It produces a connection error. However, whenever I used it, nothing was found anyway. And as "Never touch a running system" is as true as it can be about the Kaiser, I think we can live without it.
Performance:
With 6.1 after sliding out the keyboard the screen hang for a second or two while it turned the screen in the background and displayed it quickly after being ready with it. Now it takes a second to turn it "piece by piece". A question of taste, I guess.
6.1: Sliding the keyboard gave a sound like "Dingle-drpfffkkrst-ing". Back to 6.0 is sound more like "dingle-ding" again.
6.1: With the updated version of TCPMP none of my videos really played smoothly, regardless which settigs I used. Back to 6.0 all my videos, .avi and .mp4, run very smooth. Mp4 files did run smooth on the windows media player in 6.1, but just not in TCPMP .

root user App for non-rooted Phones

Is there a way to give "ONLY" an app the root access on non-rooted phones?
e.g. use bluex with full funktion on an non-rooted phone
the Idea is: (Windows example run an app as Administrator (root) - when your a "normal" user
i dont want to loose my waranty on my brand new T-Mobile D G1
Afraid not, otherwise there wouldn't be a lot of point rooting phones You can always unroot again if you need to
Leider nicht.
Wenn du Hilfe beim Rooten brauchst, schau hier: http://android-developers.de/index.php
Not possible.
If you want help with rooting, look here.
ich wollte aber eigentlich das gerät nicht rooten wegen der garantie
Transtation by google:
I actually dont want to root the device because of warranty
Musst du aber, wenn du root benutzen willst. Außerdem kannst du das Gerät IMMER auf den Herstellungszustand wiederherstellen
Roote! Du wirst es nicht bereuen
But you have to, if you want to use root.
You can factory reset your device every time.
Root! You won't regret it!
mist, also dann doch das unslaved rom
Translation:

Hast du seit dem Hardreset spezielle Software installiert?
Have you installed any software after the hard reset?
I haven't installed anything special. Just some games.
I got that device second-hand. Unfortunately it has that issue.

Wie in der PM: probier mal das Software Update und schau, ob das Problem bestehen bleibt.
Gib mal eine exakte Auflistung der Programme, die du installiert hast?
I sent you a pm: try the official software update and see if it fixes your issue.
You could list all your installed programs here too?
i have installet the latest official rom from tmobile.
Wenn du ein weiteres Gerät hast (PDA), dann probiere dies mal in deinem Heimnetzwerk. Nur um sicherzugehen, dass das Problem nicht am WLAN an sich liegt.
Ansonsten gib es zurück. Man kauft schließlich keine kaputte Gebrauchtware.
Try another portable device with your wi-fi network; just to make sure that there is no issue with your network.
Otherwise just give your device back. Even second hand devices should work flawlessly.

Yes, but when already have installed the Android ROM you allready have HardSPL or have you made a SoftSPL?
The forum language is english, so you can write it in english and german, maybe other people have the same problem.
___
Ja, aber wenn du das Android ROM schon geflasht hast musst du ja vorher schon HardSPL gemacht haben, wenn du SoftSPL gemacht hast müsstest du das halt wiederholen, weils nach dem flashen nicht mehr vorhanden ist.
Schreibe das nächste mal in beiden Sprachen für andere oder schreibe eine PM soll ja auch für andere User nützlich sein.

I've already made a HSPL (not a SoftSPL) there is standing in the boot-mode that I have SPL-0.72.0000
Now I want to delete Andoriod comple, I tried to do a Task29 but everytime >error262<
_____________________
Ich habe schon einen HSPL gemacht !! (WO ich Android geflasht habe). Im Boot-Mode steht dass ich SPL-0.72.0000 habe.
Ich will Andoid jetzt komplett löschen um Windows MObile zu flashen, Ich versuchte es mit Task 29 aber ich erhalte immer einen >error262<
No one there who can help ?? :S
Kinda strange when old x1-threads pop up... ^^
Listen, "SPL 0.72.0000" means you have stock-spl. Hard-spl is "0.72.Olinex". That's why it doesn't work.
Ohhh :O
First, thanks for your answer
What do I have to do now ? I tried to do a Hard-spl but it fails everytime whit error 262
You have to flash it via usb-method, sd-method only works if you already have hardspl. (0.72 -> 0.78)
For that to work you need your PC recognize the x1 in bootloader-mode (drivers).
Do I need the SD Card in my x1 ? Or do I have to get it out ?
#Edit: There is no SD Card in my x1. I started KovskyAdvancedRUU > pressed Regular RUU (Task 28) - (for flashing NBH files)
then it started flashing and then at 10% it stoped → Error 262 :/
Task 29 had the same error but it stopped at 0% :S
#Edit: After the 3th try, it was succesful
Thanks for helping me
Why should that matter???
Just make sure you have no "kovsimg.nbh" on your sd if it's in. sd always comes before USB in bootloader.
i have the same probleme but when i started KovskyAdvancedRUU > pressed Regular RUU (Task 28) - (for flashing NBH files)

ANY STABLE SLIM ROMS FOR A S5 MINI G800F THAT WORK WITHOUT Non-working features

HELLO ANDROID WORLD
quick question about my g800f s5 mini im looking a fast stable rom where all features apps work.i myself have took my stock kk rom and rooted my phone then put on titanium backup on it and took off all the **** roms and apps i can.but there is a few more on there but im not sure what is what so i stop there.another problem im coming across is my phone memory is full i think of junk apps and things that i dont need like knox but as i have put on root explorer i see all the junk in the phones memory so i try to take off all what is knox on the phone through root explorer by deleting them but i come accross the problem of the phone stuck in the samsung logo thats the far it goes.so i have to load new software again on the phone through samsung kies and root it then load on all my apps again the unistall all the **** apps through titamium backup.another problem i have is when i have backed up my phone through the twrp i cant seem to get the phone to restore it to the way i have so thats where i have to load software on again and root then recovery then apps all again if i want to try a new rom.all i would like is a up to date new version rom more than kk like a slim rom that would be great.less junk on the phone the better and real fast
I am searching also for something like this, a tiny stable slim Rom, if cm or stock doesn't matter. It would be so great to get an upgrade on our s5 mini. the bloatware is destroying our batteries :/
I searched, too. Found anything. After all the research and trying literally all Roms and kernels I'm using CM Lollipop with some freezed apps and Xposed with Amplify and Greenify. Stock sucked hard. No matter if KitKat or Lollipop.

Die hier aus dem Forum für das 800f (5.1.1)... Läuft bei mir besser und zuverlässiger als die Marshmallow Variante. Aber generell: ich mag das Smartphon, aber die Developer-Szene dafür ist sehr dünn.

dito, denke da wird sich aber in paar monaten bestimmt noch was tun.
dann werde ich mal diese testen. Habe momentan die letzte stock drauf, aber die bloatware saugt derart am akku, unerträglich. Hast du hdmi to otg zufällig zum laufen bekommen?
Ich empfehle Bliss 6.2
Sehr klein, flott, alles funktioniert.

Never tried to use it. Forgot to write in English. From time to time I gave stock another try but also if I used a S5 Debloat list I was never satisfied. CM is as close as you can get to AOSP. Beside Amplify and Greenify I use Trimmer.
Thank you, I think I will try resurrection remix and blissrom
