[ROM][V][UB][L] CyanogenMod 12.1 - Neo's Homebuilds [DISCONTINUED]

[mEh91]

Will try the new driver out, looking forward for the CM13 build (Y)

 

[Sagenut]

CM13 Video Driver installed and running by some hours.
Everything working OK.
Device seems to be a little more responsive than usual.
Trying a game that was having some lags and there is a sensible improvement.
It will not transform XV in a New Monster....but I think that this driver it's really worth to try.
Great Job!

 

[lubik1]

Amazing.
It looks incredible that is possible to have such a boost just because of a driver.
I hope that it's not an internal tweak to obtain fake results and that the performance boost is real.
To be clear... I don't mean that You made a Fake Driver...... I hope that the driver is really so good by their developer. :good:
Thanks for sharing!

Driver Tested By many other users on 4pda.ru forum and the performance boost is real. :good:

Now I'm busy making CM12.1 based ROM with all SONY things like in Enfriar Z5.

Neo -s ROM works barely without whistles and bells, why are You adding all this Sony crap into it, so then it definitely will be slow and useless? Better just add CM updates and that's it.

@Sagenut
Yes, you're right. It gives more free space, than usual repartitioning (like in OP), but the last one should work on any ROM.
@krasimiretov
Mod completely removes internal storage, you physical SD-Card is mounting as /sdcard, so without it you cannot write any data (f.e. save photos, screenshots, download files, etc..). System partition is not affected.
@Jonny_Hood
In zip I hardcoded checking ROM version. You can remove it from code (first line), but it will work normally only if ROM uses same kernel and framework as in last WhiteNeo build. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to make mod universal and I have no easy and fast kitchen for porting it on other ROMs.

Note:

• It's recomended to read WhiteNeo's FAQ about repartitioning first.
• In this instruction I mean, that you have clean partition table and understand what you're going to do.
• This mod is fully tested by me, but obviously I don't provide any guaranties, if you do something wrong.
• This mod is designed for last (2016.01.08) CM12.1 WhiteNeo's build ONLY.

Description:

Large Userdata + Physical SD card (no internal memory at all).
(+) Up to 6GB for apps data.
(+) Physical SD card fully used by system.
(+) Easy files transfer, pure Mass Storage connecting, easy SD replacement.
(-) No multiuser mode.
(-) Without Physical SD card you loosing most of OS and apps functions.

Instruction:

1. Download flashable zip (AFH, GDrive) and place it to the phone. Backup your Data-partition in Recovery, if you want to save your apps and settings.
2. Copy all files from Internal SDCard to External SD via your lovely filemanager or...
   ...Via Android terminal:
   

   rsync -P -a /sdcard /ext_card/sdcard0/

   ...Via Recovery terminal:
   

   cp -r /sdcard/* /external_sd

3. Type the following commands in Recovery terminal:
   

   parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 15
   parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 14
   parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 1621 7818
   parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 14 Userdata

4. Install flashable zip via recovery and reboot to Recovery (if it stuck - remove the battery, put it back and boot to recovery again). Internal memory is gone...
5. In Recovery go to "Wipe", check "Data", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS". Select "EXT4" or "F2FS".
6. Restore your data backup and wipe caches.

Thank you for this mod.
But could you please explain the steps for a clean install.
Do I just leave out the copying part? And in which order do I flash? First CM and then the mod?

Well that is a know issue. But for me happens on at least 15% battery left. Maybe your battery is too old ?

@Komapatient
Firstly you need install CM, then follow instructions. If you're doing clean install, you can bypass optional steps (post updated).

Hi,

In Google Maps the compass of my Xperia V doesn't work properly (only 180 degree flips). Does anyone experience the same problem?

To be more precise the compass already stopped working in Google Maps a while ago when I still was on CM 11 M12. At the beginning everything was fine then it suddenly stopped working (I assume due to some update of the Google Maps app... unfortunately I can't tell any exact version number).
I hoped it would work again after updating to this Lollipop ROM but it didn't (even after a complete wipe and reinstalling). I guess the problem is not due to a hardware failure because I tested it with two different Xperia V phones and the problem occurs with both of them.

In other apps the compass works as it should (OsmAnd+, GPS Status & Toolbox) but in Google Maps it only makes 180 degree flips which makes navigation a pain in the ***. I've found a lot of similar complaints on the net regarding other phone models (as early as 2011) like this one but couldn't find any useful information regarding my case.

Does anyone know a workaround or something?

Try older Maps version like 9.0.0. It helps

Thanks for the hint! Did you encounter the problem yourself? And do you know where I can get trustworthy .apk files of older Maps versions?

For the older versions of almost every app you can find and download at apkmirror, its the best and the safest source.

Hello. I would like to suggest a xposed module for the users of the rom. Its called MobileRadioActive fix and its made by pyler
For me it fixed the issue but these days will see if there is any battery improvement.

Before using the module - Cell standby was using more battery than Screen. After enabling it now it uses only 1%. So I hope the effect is true and my battery will last longer.

Hello. Sorry for late reply. Well to be honest i don't see much of a difference. Just cell standby was not consuming more battery than display. I didn't test it for too long because i rolled back to Stock JB 4.3

if using stock camera, there's no other setting for the camera.. you can using port sony camera for cm 12.1 if you want more feature for the camera.
