FAQ

This is mostly a copy of Mike's 2nd post on the Q&A threads.

Q: When will you release a new build?
A: New builds always need testing and unexpected things may break inbetween releases. Don't ask for ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), developers hate that question.
This is a hobby, not a paid fulltime job with deadlines.

Q: What is working and what's not working in this ROM?
A: See Working/not working on the LX project page http://legacyxperia.github.io

Q: Where are Developer settings / Performance settings? A: Go to System settings > About phone. Tap Build number 7 times, you will get a message that the development settings are enabled

Q: To wipe or not to wipe?
A: See here https://github.com/M66B/cm-xtended/wiki/To-wipe-or-not-to-wipe
Summarized: never wipe, only when you have problems or coming from a ROM with another base (not CyanogenMod) and never wipe system.

Q: Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
A1: No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
A2: See here https://plus.google.com/+SteveKondik/posts/S1c2HQJPhJU

Q: Where can I find the settings for MTP/Mass storage mode?
A: Go to **Settings > Storage > open Options Menu > USB computer connection.

Q: Why does camera have lower quality than stock ICS?
A1: Because we don't have JB camera libs and ICS camera libs are not 100% compatible with JB+ roms.
A2: I compared the output of different Android versions, and found only small differences. I think ICS 'looks' better because of the 'Bravia' feature on the stock rom, which turns up the saturation of the screen when you watch media.

Q: Why is ANT+ not working?
A: ANT+ developers do not support our wifi chip (wl1271) beyond JB 4.1. ANT+ will never work except if we write the needed source code changes from scratch.

Q: I tried flashing **Walkman Mod/Bravia engine/Xloud/**etc... but it's not working properly, what should I do?
A: External mods are not supported by LegacyXperia. If you use such mods, this is not the right thread to ask for help, better ask in the original mod thread.

Q: How to force a reboot when the device is unresponsive/stuck?
A: Press home and power button together -> the phone will do a hard reboot. Warning: Use this feature only when necessary, it can cause data corruption because the reboot is forced.

Q: I installed wrong Google apps, how can I repair this?
A: See here https://github.com/M66B/cm-xtended/wiki/How-to-fix-wrong-Google-apps
Use only the recommended GApps from the OP of development thread.

Q: How to set minimum auto brightness values? (cm-10.1/10.2/11.0)
A: Settings / Display & lights / Brightness /

• select Auto then parameters icon on the right
• Check Adjust to sunrise and sunset
• Adjustment sensibility: Very high

Then select bottom center Adjust:

• Here you have all adjustable levels
• You need minimum 2 stages:
  0 lux = between 0 and 25% depending you wishes and 8192-infinity lux = 100%
• You can add / modify / delete other steps if you want (long press on step).

Remember you can't increase a level over next one, and preview curve is in settings icon (three square) top right of the window

Q: What scheduler and governor should I use?
A: There is no best/right scheduler/governor. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. A good article to help you find the most suitable combination of both can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-kernel-governors-modules-o-t1369817

Q: How do I enable the navigation keys (Android softkeys)?
A: Go to the ~/system/ folder with any file manager and find the build.prop file. Add this line:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Save and reboot your device.

Q: How do I gain root access on CM12?
A: Enable developer settings (see FAQ N°3) and scroll down to root access mode and set it to apps (+ adb).
