[Q] no ROM makes my xperia S works well

Hi everyone, i have a Xperia S from 2 year ago. I have bootloader unlock and i tried a lot of roms. But since a 9 months my xperia S is very lag, and freeze very often. For example if i exit of any app the icons launcher and the app menu are slow to appear. Apps like Instagram get unexpected close if i watch very image. This problems was happend with any rom that i flash. I don't know what happen.
I made a full format, format the intern storage and nothing was better. What do you recommend me? Stop to flash roms and flash the original from Sony with flashtool?
Thanks from read. And apologize for my english, it's not my native language.

Have you tried to change the kernel?, because maybe that's the problem...
I can't help you with that because i've locked bootloader, but you can try stock based roms to try if continues working slow... I've just now using Nature Xperia and works fine.

A factory restore would definitely help you identify the issue. If it is software related, you will find out once you flash with the stock firmware. If it is still slow after you do a full stock flash, then it might be hardware related, in which case, it might simply mean that your device has had it and it is time to get a new one! You can't rule out that either...

Try an AOSP based ROM or a ROM with it's own kernel like Carbon ROM. Maybe that will help.

Yes try Android 4.3 from CM10.1 use MAKO version and not the CAF version. This is really decent rom. And make sure you move apps regularly to sd after installation
do not use and clock widgets or live wallpapers. Install ES Task manager and have shortcut in homepage so that you can kill all instantly and freesome space if reqd.

I would recommend a Android 4.4 as they have more support plus what He said about widgets and live wallpapers.

Thanks to all. I gonna try with Carbon ROM.

Several doubts and some help! (newbie)

Hi everyone I'm new in this forum and I don't know anything about this smartphone world but I have some questions about my personal Xperia M. First of all I want to apologize for my bad english coz I hate web-traductors so I don't use them.
A friend told me I should install CM11 (Cyanogenmod If I remind correctly) in my smartphone coz it'd be better, I've tried to find some information in Google in my language coz I barely undertand the english technicisms for smartphones but I didn't fund anything so I decided to post in this forum.
I heard tha there is no official version for my smartphone and If I install an unofficial version this can broke my smartphone, is that true? Do you guys think that the CM11 is advisable for my Xperia? I want to know if It'll improve the performance.
How should I start If I want to install CM11 in my Xperia M? I'll let you some information:
Xperia M Android version 4.3
Xperia M C1905
Never rooted it (I dont how how to do it)

I am also a newbie to Android like you
Do you have a PC with you?
Then why don't you make root access on your phone?
About 75% of my installed apps requires root to get its full potential.
I am on XMD (2004).
otherwise I would help to root your phone.
there maybe many threads for rooting your handset (1905)

CM11 is one of the greatest option for the beginners i have ever seen!!!.Pros Are -
1. Extended Battery Life
2. improved performance
3. KikKat UI
I think you can go for it

& its 'cons' ?
I have heard that many options will not work with CM as it is still on beta stage! is it right?
also if I couldn't lock my boot loader, I will loose my warranty also.

no problem with CM. cuz you can always lock BootLoader via flashtool and there are some minor bugs ( No problems to the user with these bugs)

Slimbean for Locked Bootloaders built from latest sources

Update Posted September 26 2014:
Numerous fixes and additions:
Added Slimbean Extras including Email, Exchange2, Launcher2, Music2 and VideoEditor
Camera delay is positively fixed - absoultely no delay
Removed FM radio which does not work
Instructions:
I always prefer fresh install.
You may try, if you wish and if you already have the previous version, to flash this on top;
If you are doing fresh install, see original instructions (full wipe).
P.S. When you boot for the first time, you will get:
1. Notificaiton that email app stopped (disregard it, the app will work without any further messages)
2. Notification that SU binary should be updated: follow instructions
Regarding bootloops: Do a fresh install, which is always preferred. Also, remember, custom roms based on Cyanogen want all system apps signed by the same key. If you have SU or any other app that you installed in the system (and then flash update on top) that means that those apps are signed by different keys, which would result in a bootloop during subsequent updates. Do research and learn about not messing with system apps. Neither SU nor any other app needs to be installed in system. Also, the same applies if you decompile and mess with a system app - once you re-compile the app, you'll have to sign it and your key is different, which again means bootloop.
Also remember that this rom is designed to work with Stock JB 4.1.2 kernel only. If you have an unlocked bootloader and custom kernel, you will get bootloop and/or other issues
Before posting this update, I reformatted my phone and did a fresh install: no issues. You know what it means: I don't want to hear about bootloops.
____________________________________________________________________________
Rom checked on my device: boots 100% in about 25 seconds. Just re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.
Slimbean latest release built from sources on September 6, 2014. This is for IONs with locked bootloaders. This is not Kitkat, it is based on JB 4.1.2, which is ages more stable.
Changes:
1. Open source Launcher Advanced (one of few open launchers)
2. Terminal and FM radio added (were missing in original release by Olivier)
3. Battery/Wifi fixes incorporated in code prior to building
4. Radio menu fixed (now when you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone, you no longer get F/C)
5. Default network changed to LTE
The phone seems snappier than with the original release, perhaps because the rom was built on Gentoo, which is the best Linux around. But maybe it is just placebo. You decide.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Be rooted, have Recovery and JB 4.1.2 kernel
2. Enter recovery, wipe System/Data/Cache (remember factory reset is not enough)
3. Flash the rom, reboot and let it settle, which shouldn't take long
4. Enjoy and press thank you or perhaps donate...

Thanks for the rom. I just flashed it and rebooted.. the screen is stuck on the slimbean logo for over 10 minutes.. the slimbean logo is flashing normally as if its about to load. You think something went wrong and I should interrupt it?
EDIT: So i interrupted after about 12 minutes by holding power and volume up keys and entered twrp to go back to previous rom. Will try back later.

I'll look into it. Did you do system/cache/data wipe prior to flashing?

Sorry to ask again but can we have INLINE/INVOICE CALL RECORDER like the one seen in your honami ROM. I think it was a part of 0.96w fw jellybean 4.1.2. I really need it and so do others too

Rom re-uploaded: works fine
I checked the rom and it boots on my ION fine. Re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.

Downloading, will try tomorrow after school is out. Thank you Optimum you and your damn roms tempt me as much as i tell myself to stick to stock after CM10 had quite a few issues on my end i guess.
Also on a side note if you need mirrors, I can make two or three.

Can we have kitkat like notification quick settings in this rom ?

Yup, I wiped system/data/cache and haven't had any problems with flashing other roms before/after this rom.

I'm not really a picture taker. Post #3 in this thread has a flashable camera. I'm not sure it would work on this rom, but I would flash it and if it didn't work just do a restore from backup.

Does anyone low of how I can get small apps back? Although they're not a deal breaker, I actually used a couple of them and would like them back.

Ok, I'm slowly catching on. I switched from iPhone a couple of months ago and had gotten an HTC One which I unlocked the boot loader, did the S-Off and rooted. I run AOKP on that phone and the xperia was a backup to carry when I'm running or cycling. As it turns out, my wife's iPhone is messing up so I've put a sense rom back on the One. She likes getting that feed screen and all. Now the Xperia is my main phone. I guess Honami is the Sony equivalent of proprietary like sense is to HTC.
I've found I like the Sony's and will probably replace the HTC with a Z1 or Z1 compact but I need to do some research as unlocking the boot loader is a requirement. It wasn't so important on the ion due to its purpose, plus I couldn't find an I or H at a reasonable price.
I realize I've gotten wordy and a touch off topic and apologize.
I'll keep my eyes out for a camera and as for the multi tasking, I forgot there's an xposed app that may allow some multi tasking.
I really do appreciate the ROM and am especially grateful to the dev of this rom for making it usable on a locked boot loader.

DSP error
not sure if it's just me but everytime I open the music app and play music the DSP manager always crashes.

DSP manager
Hello, I just got a new fresh install. EVERYTHING wiped out, even sd card. I'm getting force closes when trying to play music. DSP Manager is not working as it should. Is this a known issue or only me? Thank you, this rom is great!

DSP error logcat
Hello, here's the logcat, not sure if well captured, it is my first time capturing logcats. Captured with CatLog.

3g not working and apn keeps unloging me from network, when disabled no probs except no internet... Any ideas?
E: switched wifi hotspot on and disabled adb and it worked...
E2: guess it is just usb debbuging, works fine with bouth off
E3: had some more weird issues then reinstalled rom and all works fine now. I love it, fast and stable. [emoji2]

Hi, i have got this rom for 2 weeks. At the beginning it was fast etc. Now it cant even kepp launcher in memory? When i want to open any app for few mins, then i wan to back to homescreen it is loading all apps and widgets.. Also i cant back to my apps which i used few seconds/minutes ago cuz it's loading like a new open. When i had viperx 4.2.2 it could keep uc browser and some pages for few weeks, and when i wanted to open, it took 1 second for me. Now im feeling like on my 1st galaxy spica.
Is that normal?
I'm using clean master and it does nothing.
I have to change rom or something?
Second Q, are videos in browsers woring ok for You? I have to restart HOX sometimes if i want to watch someting. And is there any solution to watch videos like on PC? I mean, my player is everywhere the same. It's annoying becouse, sometimes i have to change resolution but i cant, also i cant turn on full screen mode second time, i have to releod page, then watch it on full screen.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I tried to install your latest version crdroid-5.0.2-20150121-endeavoru on my HTC One X but I got only an infinit HTC image. I am not very familiar with this things but I think I did what the instructions said:
- start on recovery mod (I am using TWRP v2.6.0.0, the one I used the only time I installed a custom rom);
- installed "crdroid-5.0.2-20150121-endeavoru" and "pa_gapps-stock-5.0.1-BETA12-20150116-signed" and did a data wipe in the end;
- reboot.
As I said, after restarting, I get the HTC start image and nothing progresses. Any idea what I am doing wrong (and how to make my phone back to work)?
Thanks a lot.

wi-fi problem

If you put the ROM zip on your PC and open the zip file (not unzip) you'll see a boot.IMG inside,extract the boot.IMG to your pc. I'm assuming you've got the fastboot controls on your PC.

Fixes & futures possible?
Hellow everyone,
recently I've installed the ROM wich is a great build I must say. The experience is smooth and I haven't got any random reboots. But when I reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the HTC logo. After 3 reboots it will work normal again. Sometimes the WIFI doesn't work after a reboot and I have to reboot it again.
Not experienced anymore in build 20150210
Another problem I have is that the AdBlocker isn't working (I still have advertisements in apps) although I've downloaded the latest host files.
Still not working in build 20150210
Something that bugs me is the fact that I can't choose wich page of my homescreens is my home-homescreen.
Available in build 20150210
The last things that in my opinion are missing are a good (digital) clock widget and a simple mail client. In the original Sense ROMs the clock is fantastic and the mail client is just good. I'm now using K-9 mail, but I think there are too many opions in it. (suggestions?)
I installed the wrong Gapps
Probably some things are fixed in the newest build, but I can't find the changelog of it on XDA. It's there! And how do I update my ROM (I am used to OTA updaters, idea?)? Just dirty install the new ROM?
The answer is dirty flashing. (just install the ROM and clear cache and dalvik (I guess))
Beware, for the new storage layout read this post:

releasenotes?
Hi!
Thanks for your great work on this rom.
Is there a list of changes from the previous release?

Enjoying this rom
Thank you team for a very good rom. I have an HTC One X [Endeavoro] and have experimented with many roms over time. I always fall back onto JB Sense 5 Blade Elite 2.0 with Lyapota mods flashed.
The CM KitKat roms just didn't tick all the boxes for me. Functionality v battery life.
But I am so impressed with this Rom, especially so early in the development.
With crdroid 5.0.2-20150210, I am running the native launcher with PA Gapps mini. Touch recovery 6.0.4.8 gave me a problem restoring the back up but after allowing root access in dev options (I don't know if that made a difference) and flashing twrp-recovery-hox-2.8.1.0 the twrp back up restored perfectly. The Rom is so smooth, battery life is great and everything works!
Congratulations team

Android M on ZL it's Real?

Android M will Arriving for Sony xperia Zl Anyone can answer me

By Sony, probably not. By Custom Roms, yeah, probably. We can see some improvements in CM Gerrit about cm13.
Here's a experimental CM13

Didn't test it, though. Flash at your risk

# I cant connect phone to my PC via USB DEBUG, phone is detectable but i didn't see internal or external memory.
# I can't install GAPPS, it shows error that is not enough free space on drive. (maybe it is GAPPS fault, was downloading from <opengapps dot org> )

Wish this develops further. I can build Xperia 6.0.1 x CM 13 rom crossover

Unfortunately, for me it was unable to install GAPPS on my Xperia. It just closes installation with error. As my ZL is primary phone, i just can't leave like that. Will wait for more stable build and try to install CM13 again.

Glad to see the beginning of a Custom ROM for Xperia ZL. So far there was nothing compared to Android 6.0.
I still see that Odin has long to live, his hardware for me still remains, especially with most custom ROMs.
