For those how want to buy new sd card:
The problem with sd cards is caused by low random read/write speed. Most of class 10 cards are extraordinary fast (up to 48mb/s or more) when moving big files, but when you try to randomly read/write e.g. 4kb in different part of the partition the speed lowers to 0.04 mb/s, which is responsible for lags and lower performance.
Firstly I used SanDisk Ultra UHS-1 32gb and it was a bit laggy... Recently i have changed it for Samsung Evo class 10 32gb (best random rw speed / low cost ratio) and its working great
We need to create a ext4 partition or CM recovery will do the job?
Thanks
i got problem with install facebook app from play store even from sd card apk. installation goes around 15 min and app is not installed, tried few times and the same. btw i try to install it on lx cm12 test builds before release and now on cm12 released and AOSP and still the same problem.. another apps are installed without any problem, just fb...
any sollution?

Still I think there are big problems in this first public release of CM12.0... I have a SanDisk and I know they are not the best (many times I have now seen people reporting Samsung ones performing better), but I was already using /data on sdcard with KitKat and I could only see a few lags with games... most of the experience was smooth... CM12.0 on my urushi is super laggy and reboots itself too often, I don't think it can be explained by slow sdcard... it's weird that some are reporting it to run smooth on their phones...

i have also installed in in my ARC.. I notice that app installation takes a long time and getting errors when trying to update app via google play. should i adjust the I/O settings?Mike, Any lags at all?? Just wanted to be sure before flashing.
Nd what happened to the upload? Only Anzu's been uploaded.
------Update------
Ok its on again.
for me also it was stuck at the legacy xperia logo during first boot. i simply restarted and went into recovery. see if it works for you.hi,
I flashed CM12 as your steps but phone got stuck on boot animation it's not moving from that boot animation n now i am not able to install CM11 also. what i have to do to go back CM11 ?? Thanks.
i also have the same problem. android is upgrading stays on for a long time.in my Urushi each after a reboot always appear "Android is upgrading" and running around 10-15 minutes, how to fix? look at the picture below
I am on AOSP 5.0.2 and no black screens at all.Just performed clean flash on my smultron and I spent for over 30mins on setup wizard lol. The animations are very smooth but the device freezes itself when switching apps like there's always a blank black screen appearing between apps when I switch/tap them. So far, no random reboots and I actually rebooted after the initial boot, still runs like that. I understand that this is an initial beta build of CM12 on our devices, thankful that I still have this device functioning over the past years.
Will test more to see if anything will improve the following days of using it, thumbs up @mikeioannina
UPDATE
It seems that the blank black screen appears if the systemui stops responding or crashes, no dialogs if ever it will happen, it will just appear like that.
UPDATE
I'm not sure if it's me or the ROM itself but I've been experiencing very slow internet connection while updating/downloading apps on playstore, anyone can confirm?
EDIT
Installing apps takes 15mins :/
Can anyone here perhaps help me with installing the usb drivers for my Xperia Arc please?.. The flashtool drivers aren't installing right, they keep giving back failed responses!.. Plus, I don't wanna go through that signature malarky crap!.. Is there any other way I can get the drivers installed on Windows 8.1 so that I can flash this ROM, PLEASE!!!
Thanks...
This is what i thought in the first place. I was using Mardon's CM12 builds since december on that SanDisk sd card and I can't say CM12 itself is perfect. It was pretty usable and snappier with every build, but after I read more about random rw and changed sd for EVO, I discovered true power of Android 5.0 You have to remember that in CM11 dalvic & data used by system apps is in internal storage and you installed only 3rd party apps on sd. Now we have ART and everything is stored on sd.
From my own experience, if you don't want to change sd card, just wait up to 2 days for rom to "stabilise" itself. There are certain operations that have to be done by system after update and when they would be done, performance should be enough good to use the phone normally.
The rom works pretty great on anzu but i can't find the torch app anywhere. Is it still in the works?
Honestly wondering: Is this release dead or still being maintained?
Are the below features removed due to some kind of right issues, or related to android L or just missing for now?
-By pressing volume down, i cant put phone into silent mode (Just vibration mode is there)
-cpu Freq setting is not available. I can't set it also with init.d script
-Some tiles are missing in quick pulldown (network mode for example)
-Light levels in automatic backlight are not adjustable
I am not asking for these features, no offense. I just wonder if theyre missing on purpose.
