Hey guys, I tried to upgrade to the alpha 2 of Android N using twrp recovery. I did a back up of my system then pressed the install button. I selected the Android N/aosp_taoshan-ota-eng.agentfabolous_1309_b4.zip on my external sd card. Then I encountered ths error
" E: unknown command
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Android N/aosp_taoshan-ota-eng.agentfabolous_1309_b4.zip"
Error flashing

Please help

You don't have to send your message twice...we all have eyes in our head(I hope so!) so everybody can read this. So now to your question:
Why do you want to flash a complete new ROM CM --> AOSP and a complete new Android version 6.0.1 --> 7.0 without wiping anything? There shouldn't be a problem of you wipe /system, /data, /cache and /dalvik cache and flash the ROM after that.

Hehe! sorry, my bad. I already wiped the system, data, cache and dalvik cache of the phone then tried to install the rom but that error prevented that. I completely lost you. I want to experience Android N that's why I tried to install the rom. I tried to just upgrade the marshmallow rom from cynanogenmod but it failed. Then I tried to do a clean install but the same error prevented that. Can you help me?

"E: unknown command [log]" is normal
"E: Error executing updater binary" isn't.
Update twrp.
Oh and about FM radio, either AOSP doesn't have a FM app or I simply forgot to include it. Haven't gotten to test FM yet :3

Use chainfire's latest SuperSU flashable. After flashing the phone will reboot itself once or twice. It's normal.
This seemed to work fine: SuperSU

I'm aware of the low headphone audio. I'll update when I find a fix for it. And, offline charging does work. While charging, if you tap the power button, it may show "Charging ??/100". Don't mind that, it's just some missing charger images. Your phone will still charge the way it's supposed to.

I have a simple idea for the space problem for aplications.
Simply replace "date" with "SD 0" at the time of installation of partitions.
This does not alter the structure of partitions and would give the 4 GB device for apps installation.
I've done tests. It's easy to format using the TWRP "SD 0" as EXT4.
The same process is easy to reverse.
It is safe because it does not change the structure of the partitions. If there is any problem just restore the Stock ROM.
Soon just need help to know which Android configuration files need to change mount "SD 0 in EXT4" like the DATA unit.

The Xperia L pass from 1,57GB to 4 GB !!!

sdcard -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p32
Userdata-> /dev/block/mmcblk0p31

CHANGE

sdcard -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p31
Userdata-> /dev/block/mmcblk0p32

Is Simple and possible.

Not sure what you want step by step, but here's installation from start to end.
1. Getting a recovery
You need twrp. Use the recovery installer app to get to twrp. Alternatively, you could download it off the link in op and copy to your adb folder. Then execute the following in your adb directory
Code: 
adb root
adb wait-for-device
adb push PathToRecoveryImage.img /tmp/twrp.img
adb shell dd if=/tmp/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
If you don't have access to a computer, download terminal emulator and execute these:
Code: 
su
dd if=PathToRecoveryImageOnPhone.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
2. Install the rom
Well, this is self explanatory I guess :p
Boot to recovery (vol up = fota) and install.
3. Install Gapps (Optional)
4. Install SuperSU (Optional)
5. Reboot

I did a clean flash from Slim6, everything works except mobile data. When it's turned off I see the cross (X symbol above signal icon), but when it's on there isn't any indicator (i.e. no E, H, H+) and it doesn't work. Pinging from terminal emulator gives message "connect: Network is unreachable".
Other minor annoyances include "Preferred network type" label which is always the opposite from radio box (so if 2G is selected in the dialog, it displays 3G in settings, and I'm not sure which one to trust) and manual network search always yields an error after searching for roughly a minute.

So you mean the FOTAtwrp I am flashing will take care of swapping the partitions automatically? That's insanely great!!!

Right now, there's nothing in place to swap partitions. If I do add swapping partitions, it'll happen while the rom flashes. Not sure how twrp will work with swapped partitions. My previous post was just a tiny guide to flash the rom :3
Before swapping partitions, I'm gonna focus on getting stable. :)

    Now that I'm done saving my butt, let's proceed :D

    Flashing and updating

    Clean Install
    - Backup all your data (Important)
    - Wipe /system, /data and cache.
    - Flash the ROM + GApps (Download link below)
    - Reboot

    Updates
    - Wipe anything you want to (Optional)
    - Install ROM + GApps
    - Reboot

    Getting a recovery
    Since many people have trouble installing recovery, I might as well add it up here.
    Use the recovery installer app to get to twrp. Alternatively, you could download it off the link below and copy to your adb folder. Then execute the following in your adb directory
    Code: 
    adb root
adb wait-for-device
adb push PathToRecoveryImage.img /tmp/twrp.img
adb shell dd if=/tmp/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
    If you don't have access to a computer, download terminal emulator and execute these:
    Code: 
    su
dd if=PathToRecoveryImageOnPhone.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

    Downloads

    Link in OP Updated.
    Since we now have everything working other than Camcorder, the ROM is now marked BETA. FM Radio works fine now and I've added the Browser app.
    NOTE: In my testing, OpenGapps had Setup Wizard constantly crashing. Using these patched gapps seemed to work fine.
    Gapps (Nano, patched): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767103604
    You will have to force stop and enable permissions for Google Play Services after getting through setup wizard.
    I haven't tested root yet.
    Let me know if there's any other issues :D

    EDIT: SuperSU seems to be working fine. It breaks FM though.
