I am a newbie to Android.
This is my first handset.
C2004 Build Number 15.2.A.2.5
(Xperia M Dual with Indian firmware)
I had tried all the methods, which are available our forum, and failed to get positive result.
Please help me someone, who is using same firmware, to get rid of my low memory issue.
I know apps to SD will not work on XM
I tried link2SD.
but, result is boot loop.
my handset is restarting after Xperia Logo.
I am using Verbatim UHS-1 class 10 64GB card.
i had partitioned my sd card and second partition is deleted to overcome restarting issue.
usually I make a partition on that unused space(10GB) in ext2 while doing experiments.
I have also one more issue,
.thumbnails folder become huge.
now it is 850MB !!!!! (aboubt half of our memory)
Can I transfer these thumbnails to external SD card??
Any one please :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Bro you must be half rooted that's why you are getting bootloop, did you used remount reboot fix by nut after rooting?
And you can't move the thumbnails to extsd, better update your album app...it solves the problem of oversize thumbnail problem

Thanks to both of you for guiding me.
going through the threads, which has given to me, it is known that our second partition should be in fat32.
I always tried ext!!!
maybe that was the problem of my boot loop
I will try & Inform you the results
OMG!!!!!
What did I said!!!
I am on locked boot loader with stock ROM 4.2.2
those bootfix scripts will not work with 64bit windows?????
Once I had successful bootfix on 32bit Windows 7
(I had made more than 20 attempts)
My second partition was in FAT32
I was able to link apps
but still my internal memory is not increasing even after linked&moved apps; Why?
As I am using windows, I couldn't copy data files to second partition.
Then how could I install games?
after that, I had installed more than 10 apps
due to high drain of battery, I had to hard reset my phone.
Now I am not able to fix boot loop :crying:
Please guide me....
(Now All rooting methods fails, but still I could install superSU manually
& root checker shows I have root access.
Installed busybox..
and all root required apps works without any problem)
Hey Everyone,
I tried my hands on installing cyanogenmod 11 for xperia m. Did not take the backup of the current ROM, and did not transfer the package file to the SD card. However, the Fastboot and Unlocking BootLoader went fine.
Now the situation is, Current ROM erased, no backup, cant seem to install the cyanogenmod package either by "Sideload" or "Push and install".
While trying the SideLoad method, i get the error "E: can't open tmp/update.zip" .
Dont know where to start and how to revert back. Please can someone here help me?
This may be the solution.
hey brother,
Seems like you messed up with your phone and i think i have a solution for that.
Firstly as u have mentioned that your bootloader is unlocked .
Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool from here.
Then install it on your PC , later install Fastboot and Flashtool Drivers (the .exe file will be there in c:\flashtool\flashtool drivers,u need not download separately) , as u are using Sony Xperia M , Check Flashtool drivers , Fastboot Drivers and Drivers for Xperia P,S when prompted.
Then Connect your Phone in Fastboot Mode ( by holding Volume Down button ,check for ur phone ) and Flash the recovery.img / boot.img which will be in the Zip file of CM11. Download Gapps for your phone Then copy the zip file and the gapps.zip into your sdcard and put that sdcard into ur phone and boot via recovery(holding volume up button). Then Do the following
Wipe factory/data cache
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
go to install zip>install from sdcard1>select ur Cm11 file
In the same way Flash Gapps too
reboot and Enjoy
It worked for me and i am sure it will work for u too. if it didnt i am so sorry i cant help u.plz msg me if u have any doubts
all the best :laugh::good::angel:

Hey there....
Thanks for the reply. Appreciated!!
Sorry for being late, i kinda made it. I was only working with the Boot.img file and not the whole zip package. Copied the Zip to the SD and installed CM11.
Although i have one more question.
Internal is still 2.05, whereas Xperia M has 4gb of internal.
And also is there any way to swap internal with external in CM11. i have a 16gb SD Card.
Well Done

plz post here if u came across any

Hi, just to share with you!
Whats this? In short, it is deodexed -> resigned -> zipaligned, installed busybox, supersu, dual recovery (vol up for twrp, vol down for cwm), 5way reboot menu ...and some other changes which you can read about it here -> https://github.com/munjeni/D5503_14.5.A.0.242/commits/master .
How to download rom:
- go to here -> https://github.com/munjeni/D5503_14.5.A.0.242/tree/ae7b18de7faa97eaf01eff1c2b6abeb540feaf6f and on the right side you have "Download zip"
- after downloading rom is not ready, do not flash!!!
How to install:
- after you download rom you must repack zip since git always add things into new folder inside zip so you will need repack it first before installing!
- simple open main zip and go to folder "14.5.A.0.242.master", select all files from these folder, drag and drop it to a new empty zip, you are done. Before you flash rom please read "iportant" section! Flash these new zip with any recovery. Done.
Mirrored download link (using this you no need to repack anything, just download and install!):
- https://mega.co.nz/#!Co1yERia!eJVCBjTZrjXok3KXZxM9xp_28I9Pos-LPYKjigJ6Bok
Important:
- you must fully wipe /data partition (mean delete everything from /data folder)! Or another solution, flash only userdata from any LolyPop ftf! Why? Because all old files from internal storage is not relabeled and you will encounter a lot of problems and all these files can not be accessed from android, pictures, private files... etc is not accessible than! Don't think it will work without wipe, it will not! Wioe data factory reset have no sense, I recomend installing userdata from ftf since its more a safe way!
Changelog:
- https://github.com/munjeni/D5503_14.5.A.0.242/commits/master
Enjoy!

Curently I am stoped development on this rom since I am unable to solve thing like this -> lolipop have two classpaths (BOOTCKLASSPATH and SYSTEMSERVERCLASSPATH) and I not understand how to access classes from one classpath to another classpath, if you have idea how I can get this than I will probably continue development. My plan was implementing privacy guard rom cm12 but since I have problem accessing classes I am temporary stoped

- simple open main zip and go to folder "14.5.A.0.242.master", select all files from these folder, drag and drop it to a new empty zip, you are done. Flash these new zip with any recovery. I have made some automated scripts so you no need to wipe anything since everything needed will be done auto so just click "install" and wait until rom get installed.
Enjoy!

Flashed this ROM and it is amazing.
Debloated it, installed some mods like xposed, xposed fix, modded services.jar for superuser mode, modified mixer_paths.xml for more loudness and some apps like MyAndroidTools, TitaniumBackup, Greenify.
Works like a charm and good battery life.
Only thing is the aweful toogle change by Google (no silent, vibrate toggle on quick settings) - but this depends NOT on your ROM.
Thx munjeni (one more time) for your time, work and effort.

I have no idea why it is caled SuperUser Mod since it have nothing related to SuperUser. It is just SignatureDisable mod, author stupidly gave these name to these mod which apsolutly have nothing related to superuser If you look into commits on my git you will notice that you no need his services.jar since my rom allready have disabled signature verification, I not guarant you how his services is patched, but I can sugest you to replace services.jar whith one from my rom since compatibility is guaranted
This http://www.androidauthority.com/cyanogenmod-12-superuser-577985/ is what I call superuser mod (I have plan to port it here), and diferencie between "wrongly named" superusermod and real superusermod like one from cm12 is like this and this

i tried that and / or replaced some things like bootanimation, fonts etc.
Flashing failed, so flash it untouched and remove / add things then.

I'm trying to solve this but have no idea how to do it, it is selinux restriction (if somebody have idea how it can be solved let me know please), but temporary solution is: via terminal emulator disable selinux, than install app, than enable selinux. To disable selinux write "setenforce 0", than install app, than enable selinux "setenforce 1"

You can but only if you propertly remove lines from updater-script since it is hardcoded with our rom, instead recovery will abort installation if you missed something in updater-script ! My sugestion is, remove things manualy using an root file explorer, or at least add some lines in updater script which will remove things that you want

No man, you no need sdcard fix. I allready included sdcard fix https://github.com/munjeni/D5503_14.5.A.0.242/commit/21b396daf721791c3675de417c543ba6184e21d1 and you can read / write any storage without problems, but we speak about problem related to the "installing apps from sdcard"! For example, if you try to install blablabla.apk which is on any storage you will get "no free space" error since selinux DENIED installing it, I don't have idea why it happen since I am not familiar with selinux, only very basic things by now. I will try to solve this problem!

Ok thanks for info. On my rom selinux must be disabled temporary before installing any app from sdcard, than enabled. I will try to understand why it happening. For sure it is related to selinux. I replaced platform key in selinux_policy.xml since all apks on our rom is resigned and zipaligned but it was not solved problem related to the installing apks from sdcard.

nah, that won't work u need to install that as system apps manualy via a root explorer and then u need to set the correct permissions rw-r-r
btw, do u haven't that apps?
yes i have all 4 of them already installed.
so might be some app or anything else deleted/blocked the mediascanner so my device can't check for SD card?
could it be some xposed addon?

The only way i know to flash a system without recovery is via flashtool,
maybe the best way to you.
Save your appdata via Titanium Backup or similar app and flash a clean system.
If u don't need xposed - search a ftf / rom without that stuff
