AR effect doesn't work (it says something like it can't determine the phone's orientation)
Also, it lags a lot....

Yea but the device has magnetomer and accelometer isnt there a way to virtualize that gyroscope? And you say that the game lags?

For the lags I suggest you to use it with "Android Open Source Project [AOSP+RRO] " MM Rom! Try to greenify background apps and it will work more smoothly!

It actually has a gyroscope, I can't say what the exact issue is for the app.

Ok I'll try to use Greenify then (but I'll stick with CM for now)

I don't think that Xperia L has a gyroscope. It only has an accelerometer and the VR doesn't work with that.
Anyway the game lags massively for me as well, after playing for a bit it lags so much it's barely playable... sometimes it freezes completely.. i am currently using the CM 12.1, i wonder if the game runs better on the CM13, can anyone attest to that?

Yeah it doesn't but I remember when I was using 4.2.2 the AR effect was there ported for the camera working awesomely! I think the app or the camera app doesn't have right camera libs!
Like I said before CM13 RRO with greenify you may able to run it much better!

I experienced those lags using RR5.7.0 (which basically is CM13).

I am using the latest Resurrection Remix. As long as I don't do AR, it's usually not too bad. Just need to keep it plugged in or use an external battery booster. Thing just absolutely hammers the GPS.
A main part of it is I have no idea of knowing how much of it is down to how well the L runs PoGo, and how much is just the sheer popularity of the game and the strain it puts on the servers.

On mine works fine. I use AOSP+PRO rom and greenify(Thanks to @Rockmins ) and it works fine, not much lags at all, the game has frozen only 2 times and i think its because of the servers, but the battery drain from the game is big and AR doesn`t work. Try to install it from apk mirror, not google play and you need to be running android 4.4+ on stock rom it won`t work.
Why i cant play pokemon go in my xperia L theres poping when i installing the app it says parse error

Try to Flash ZDkernel with this same Rom (also with ZD kernel control app make sure to overclock it to 1.5ghz , use smartmax governor and tripndroid as I/O Scheduler) ! And using greenify hibernate all other network using apps!. :good:

Just visit apkmirror.com, search for pokemon go, download apk, put file on your internal storage. you should also install es file explorer from google play first., then find your apk and install

Hi,
I'm using CM 12.1 (gapps 5.1.1). Pokémon Go used to lag a lot and freeze after some minutes. Every time it happened, I had to pull off the battery and start the phone again. I solved the problem installing ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER. I have a 32 GB Micro SD Card, so I have plenty of space to share with memory swapping. The game didn't freeze anymore, but the lagging was still there. It was annoying.
Then I flashed Thunderzap 4.16 kernel so as to control CPU, I/O scheduller etc. After flashing Thunderzap, I felt as if the phone itself got a little bit slower, even with the possibility to overclock the CPU to 1.7 GHz. I haven't found out yet an optimal setting to CPU governor, I/O schedduller and readahead size. The best I could do was "On Demand", BFQ (or Tripndroid) and 16384 kb, respectively. Even using this config, Pokémon Go still lags a lot. Sometimes is playable, sometimes not. And don't even think about battling... When there is a lot of graphic demand, the performance is awful.
Well, it's needless to say that Xperia L has a small internal memory and storage and all new apps you may want to install will "eat" a great deal of it. I created a second primary partition on my SD Card and installed Link2SD so I could move big "system apps" such as Chrome, Maps etc. Anyway, as expected, the phone is slow and even trying Greenify, it isn't getting much better. A lot of apps crash unexpectedly.
Does anybody know if there is a better setting I could use with CM 12.1 so the phone could run more smoothly? Or the better option is really flashing AOSP-RRO (which I haven't tried out yet)?
(P.s.: I HATE when I find a new Pokémon and the game crashes... ¬¬)

Sometimes making the phone work on 1.7ghz can bring lag to the game(and it's not a good frequency for the XL to operate in also).I'm sorry I cannot comment on how to make it good on Lollipop Roms cause I haven't downgraded from Marshmallow. If you are moving to RRO I suggest you to use ZD kernel (and ZD app) and prepare to sacrifice some of the internal storage for free space(Gapps Pico).

Thanks for the hint.
Yeah, 1.7 GHz it's too much for XL. I keep it at 1.5 GHz. I've run a few tests and the best setting I could come up with was CPU governor Interactive (or Intlliactive), I/O Scheduller Deadline with 2.048 kB of Read Ahead. I don't like Deadline scheduller, but for PoGo, it performs well. And with less drive cache also the game runs better. With this config XL is running more smoothly.
About the Gapps, when I first flashed the Gapps 5.1.1, I end up removing all the Google junk I didn't want. Anyway, I'll keep CM 12.1 for a while and I'll do a little more of "user experience". When I change my ROM, I'll let you know.
Guys, I tested for a few days the AOSP-RRO ROM and didn't like it. For playing Pokémon Go only, I have to say that it's great, but I didn't like the other options and features that the ROM gave me.
Now I'm using CM12.1 with PICO GAPPs (5.1.1). It made the whole difference. I keep using all the other apps that I suggested above to make the performance better.
Pokémon Go runs smoothly now with a few lags. And the phone also is working smoothly.

Hi,
I tested RR3 on TF101 with CM10.1 but that's lag a lot.
Is it possible to explain how to configure CM10 to avoid this lags ?
Thanks
I haven't used CM10, but if you can overclock try that first. Check my sig for a free app to do it.
You can overclock natively in CM10, it's in performance settings, no app needed.
Comments on Play store say the last updated caused the lag, I have it on EOS4 too
The update is causing lag.
Hope it clears your doubt.
I been playing RR3 on my modded stock rom tf101 and it didn't lag at all...ran perfect along with NFS most wanted...idk but seems to me that these roms y'all have seems to help smoothness and newness of your tf101 but if nothing is wrong then no need to fix or use different ROMs causing your tab to think differently and run harder...but that's just my opinion on this tab as I'm a heavy customizer on other phones...try the touch booster
sent accidentally from my gangsta ASUS Transformer
I am not having issues play RR3 with my TF rooted running only the stock ROM. It would be cool if the mirrors worked though.

Is it something to change in the configuration of cm10 ?

Any solutions ? Other games works smoothly (wildbloods, nfs, ...)
I know I am a noob. (I watched the video)
I rooted my tf101 yesterday (CM10.1 nightlies ROM) and now I was trying to install RR3.
The problem that I have is that I cannot install this game.
Device is not compatible.
I know I am doing something wrong and I searched this forum.
Can someone send me in the right direction?

I downloaded the APK over on the Nexus 7 forum & that was a post at the beginning of the month. I don't know if there is an updated version or not. If there is I would like to try it. There is a MOD to the graphics setting to make the mirrors work. I did try it & the game was almost unplayable. I reverted back to the original setting. I am rooted but completely stock & the game is really smooth with the normal settings.

I think that [ROM][4.2.2][A9][Unofficial] LiquidSmooth-JB-v2.9 (26/08/13) is the best ROM for our device ,trust me i have tried all custom ROM's available for our device , and finally this is it ! Reasons ?
It is smooth , fast , and light ,when i stop all uselles app i have over 200 MB Ram , it is good for gaming , i play games like CSR Racing ,Need For Speed Most Wanted , Blood and Glory 2,,Asphalt 8 and ohers , Swap SD compatible , Halo , and the most important thing for me is so battery friendly ,as i said i use to play games ,a lot ! and i have never had less than 1 day , with gaming,some wifi and 30 mins of calls.
[ROM][4.2.2][A9] Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 PA.AOKP.CM (23/08/13) it is another good rom for our device but it is not so good for gaming .
@CristianCRS This Rom seems even to me pretty cool...but: photos taken whit stock camera app cannot be saved in external sd. Do you know if this thing can be fixed in someways?
Thank you so much.
carbon rom
u should try out carbon rom :good:

Indeed i forgot about this ,for me it manifested in other way ,when i shoot a photo ,it takes a photo ,it saves it but i couldnt take another photo because the previous remained freezed on camera screen ,so i instaled titanium backup i unnistaled gallery ,and with this camera,and i installed a new one ,now i have snap camera with gallery because it have so much options ,but it will work any other camera app like Camera JB ,or Camera ICS, even Sphere Camera ,and Focal (great camera app but it seems that video recording is not working)
Thank you so much Cristian, I will try another camera app. Another issue: I have about 40 apps installed, most of them are greenyfied with geenify app. my free ram (even after cleaning all the apps running in background) is no more than 40-50 mb.

About this...until now i had no time to install so many apps like you ,usually i use just some strictly essential apps and games ,in total i think i have 23 apps and games installed ,i use swap sd ,and link sd ,i don't know if it will work for you ,but me after i use an app and i consider that i don't need it to run in backround ,i go to System Settings--> Apps---> and ALL tab ,i search the app ,click on it ,and then Force Close ,this methood i use on every process or program that is not neccesary to android system . And like this i have no problem with ram or unwanted battery drains.
Actually I'm using clean cm 10.1 alpha9 enhanched with TopDroid's Megaboost 1.4.
Greenyfied some apps and using SD Increase.
Not so customizable as other roms but, for now, the smoothest and faster ever.
Antutu 4 (last version) gave me 3959 as top score.
All apps working well
Free RAM always about 100/120 mb.
Battery with 3g alwys connected and medium phone usage lasts about 20hrs.
Cheers

Yeah, Ive upgraded to 10.2, too. Seems ok for now, just one issue: after replacing dsp and apollo with acid sounmod and walkman I noticed that walkman is not working. It gets open but doesn't play music files. Any solution? Maybe a walkman version for 4.3 is available? BTW great rom.
EDIT: reinstalled Apollo. I cannot find any walkman apk running on 4.3 for now.

Greetings,
I want to share some tips on how to get rid of annoying lag on stock ROMs. I have an Xperia J that now seems to have the speed of a dual-core phone (it's faster than an Xperia U). NO scripts, NO complicated or risky methods.
Requirements? Root - the most important thing, patience, Play apps, Forum apps.
1. Root App Delete is an easy, small and simple tool to get rid of the nonsense system apps. You can delete or only disable them - having a .bak file in system/app instead of an .apk
2. Greenify is an intelligent tool that helps you put apps "into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground", as the creator say. You can only hibernate user apps; so many system, preinstalled apps must be deleted and reinstalled from Play.
e.g. Facebook is a hungry app, occupying large amount of RAM - therefore you have less battery and less response of the system when you want to open another app - because all Facebook's processes must be killed. Solution? Uninstall it from system/app and reinstall it as a user app. Then greenify it! It does not have to remain open in the background because of and hour or two of use per day.
3. Seeder is a lag reducing tool that "assists the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it with data from the non-blocking (high performance) random device", helping apps to load faster and avoid lag.
4. Xperia Honami Launcher. I know it doesn't seem much as a speed tool, but, trust me, it is. I have used many versions of Xperia launchers (including the one ported from Xperia Z) and, besides that the launcher itself wasn't as sharp and fast as on a newer, more powerfull device - the entire system felt somehow... slower. Opening different apps took longer, not very good multitasking experience...
The new Honami launcher is smooth, very fast - and my Xperia J is flying. Speed everywhere! System apps opening almost instantly, it's like a dual-core hardware experience.
Doubts? Just reply, ask.
P.S. 181 MB free when I entered 'Running Apps' just now.
Very good post, thx ^^ If you run facebook messenger, facebook, music player and a random game, how many free ram do u have??
This test is made on Vengeance 1.46? Have you tried that? Can u list me all trash apps you removed? Can you describe your Seeder's settings please?? Thanks in advance ^^

No, I use stock kernel, didn't change it so far. Perhaps Vengeance is better, I honestly don't know...
I deleted all social-related apps (Facebook, all it's plug-ins, all Twitter apps, special widgets) including all Timescape apps (Spine, Friends etc) and Sony's social widgets, like Friend's Music. Some of Google's stuff, like Text-To-Speech, Picasa plug-in, some ugly live wallpapers... The rest I don't remember.
I disabled: Playstation Certified, Connected Devices (and all DLNA stuff), Email (since I only use Gmail), Google Bookmark and Calendar Sync, Smart Connect, Chinese Keyboard, Xperia Diagnostics, Xperia Sync.
Use Seeder with all 3 options checked (Suspend RNG, Extend I/O, Start at boot). I use Light profile, seems to work very fine that way. :cyclops:

You can find all the links for download and installing info here: [APP][4.0.3+] Xperia™ Launcher 3.0.0 | Xperia Z Ultra | Honami | 24.Jul.2013
P.S. After installing the new launcher and widgets - you can disable the old/stock ones with Root App Delete. If you use both launchers, you will not have that much RAM.

This is basically the same as my PINGUYS CARBON JB 4.2.2 ROM ported to the Yellow Kernel ROM base.
All I did was OptiPNG, Zipped the apks and patched services.jar with "Ultimate Jar Power Tools" to improve multitasking. Also stripped out the libs in the apks and added them to system/libs.
Added my little tweaks to it. Replaced the launcher with the Google Now launcher. I added the Lollipop keyboard (from the Google Play Store) and the Sony Walkman music player with the UPNP/DLNA Media Server. Also added a custom sound engine that will greatly improve the sound quality.
MX Player is included and has working AC3 sound using a custom Arm v7-Neon codec.
There is a load of extra fonts added and I built in a modified version of flash that has Hulu support..
KSM and zRAM are enabled by default with custom values.
zRAM size is set to 154.8 MB/18.75% of total RAM and KSM pages_to_scan to 1536 and sleep_millisecs to 6000 reducing CPU cycles and saving battery power.
DOWNLOADIn the attachments I have added:
Xposed GEL Settings
Xposed Installer
AdAway
Changed the base to 10.1.3 Yellow Kernel as this is easier to work with.
On first boot it will hot-reboot.
@PMikeP,
"I don't see a way to change grid size, add screens, change Home screen etc. on the launcher. It's not in my settings when I click the 3 vertical dots.
Similarly, I don't see a way to disable the Search bar/disable Search."
I don't think Google Now / Google Launcher / GEL let's you change any of that.
But, I *think* you can install XPosed and then use the GEL Tweaks module. I used that 2 or 3 devices ago, but haven't used XPosed in a while.
---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------
So, let me ask this,
If I have a previous 10.1.3 rom and make a back up through TWRP,
Can I do a complete wipe, flash this and then restore data from my other backup, or will that mess with the tweaks on this rom?

Hi FirePsych: Good idea not to clutter up Jon's thread with comments about Pinguy's.
Okay on the new Google launcher. If that's the way it is, I'll stay with Jon's. I'm not about to install Xposed on my aviation tablet.
I tried uninstalling the search with Titanium, but doing that hung the ROM on reboot.
I don't know the answer to your last question. Of course you could give it try. This ROM does seem to do some preprocessing at boot, per my problem with Link2SD hanging the boot.

Hi FirePsych: Good idea not to clutter up Jon's thread with comments about Pinguy's.
Okay on the new Google launcher. If that's the way it is, I'll stay with Jon's. I'm not about to install Xposed on my aviation tablet.
I tried uninstalling the search with Titanium, but doing that hung the ROM on reboot.

Why not just install Nova or Apex Launcher?
Or do what FirePsych said. Install Xposed GEL Settings.
Link2SD issues is probably due to system/etc/init.d/08setperm. Delete the file and see if that sorts it. But the way it sounds is you gave the ROM 3 minutes then removed it, so giving this advice is probably pointless.

@PMikeP,
[/COLOR]So, let me ask this,
If I have a previous 10.1.3 rom and make a back up through TWRP,
Can I do a complete wipe, flash this and then restore data from my other backup, or will that mess with the tweaks on this rom?

If you was running 10.1.3 you can dirty flash this. You may have to go to apps and clean data for "contacts" and "contacts storage" (settings>apps>all and scroll to "contacts" open it and choose "clear data" - then go back to "contacts storage" and do the same thing.) if you get the android.process.acore error.
I tried a dirty flash and it didn't seem happy. Tried my idea and it was a little better, but since I had time, i did a full wipe again, flashed it and let Google restore my aops. So far, so good

Thanks for the input. I could try another launcher, but never have had to before. If I do, can I then disable voice search, and how?
I will try your suggestion for Link2SD.
I'm sorry that you sound upset. But actually, I gave the ROM 3 hours. As I use my tablet for aviation moving maps in the cockpit, I need something that works 100%. (And so I'm not going to hack it with Xposed.)
Jon's meets that requirement. Since you had put so much work into yours, I thought I would try it before I go flying again. Nothing personal.

Sorry my bad. Wasn't in a good mood that day.
GmsCore
QuickSearchBox
Google Now Launcher
Are all needed for the Google Now Launcher to work. Removing any of them will break the home launcher. It is why it hung when you removed QuickSearchBox. Without it the system had no home launcher to boot into.
As Google Now is a huge reason why I love (and many others) Jellybean I made sure it was working in this ROM.
If you are not a fan of Google Now, install a different launcher first before removing it. This way the ROM won't hang.

Thanks. It occurred to me later that there are philosophical differences between your ROM & Jon's.
Jon's is a spartan ROM, vanilla and free of Google stuff. (By design.)
Yours is more an "everyman's" ROM, built w/ the latest launcher and complete with mods for entertainment. (Ability to play Hulu Plus, better audio, etc.)
For my purposes in the cockpit, I need a bare bones ROM like Jon's. (I flash a stripped down version of GAPPS just so two of my aviation apps will install, and then I disable Play & Frameworks. Very lean. Very little running in the background while flying.)
If I knew enough how to do it, it would be interesting to take Jon's 10.1 ROM and fold only your performance enhancing features into it (i.e., keeping it Google free), to see the improvement and to see how stable it is. (That would also give an apples to apples comparison.) But since I don't know how, I'm content to wait for some other enterprising dev to do it someday.
Oh this seems very promising. I use mine for university. So a lot of reading, some surfing and mailing but also for entertainment as well. Most shows I watch on my nook so I will give your ROM probably a try starting this weekend even though I am not keen on Google now but I use NovaLauncher anyway.
Nice to see that there is still some development with this device.

f2fs. But you can use ext4 if you like.
Possible bug: .MKV files with ac3 codec can't be played with MX player, vlc or BS player.
The Rom overall seems to be running smooth but unfortunaly not very liquid. At least not AS auch AS pure yellow kernel Rom. It's not too distracting though.

Really? Anyway you maybe able to share the video giving you problems? Every video I have is MKV with DTS or AC3 sound and they all work fine.
Well I won't share the video due to legal rights but write the given codec information: H264 MPEG-4 AVC , A52 Audio aka AC3 48khz 448 KB/s.
Another issue seems to be playing flash videos in Browser. They won't start. For example:
http://gizmodo.com/sonys-robotic-dogs-are-dying-a-slow-and-heartbreaking-d-1712160637
It started one time but as I watched it through I couldnt replay it. AS I try it now it won't even load. Also no possibility for fullscreen view while I do have thatat this page with my Smartphone.
It you cant recreate these issues I do a clean install again but maybe you do.
Bzw any recommendations for governors and i/o?

The linked flash video is working fine here. The fullscreen button doesn't show up but if you tap in the lower right corner it will go full screen.
As for the governors and i/o, the default settings are the best.
Updated the ROM. It's a lot smoother now.
Hi, I'm currently on PAC Kitkat 4.4.4 Rom. My Nook HD+ is suffering from 'Ghost touches', where touch inputs automatically registered without me touching the screen. I want to change to a faster and smoother Rom. My only uses for the Nook HD+ are Comic,epub,pdf reading and Watching 1080p movies using MXplayer. I'm confused between this rom and amace's CM 12.1 rom. In your opinion, which will be better for my use?
Another rom that I ported for Piranha Zen. You can use it with a117 also.
First install the rom : https://yadi.sk/d/R0YTKGbnsWfjq
Then install fix for a117: http://durusu.net/android/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/A117Lite-KatBatteryFix.zip
After reboot, go to “Durusu” program and give screen lock permission to program.
Screenshots: http://durusu.net/android/index.php/2016/06/15/piranha-zen-icin-lollicraft-romu/
Is the ROM in english language, how long battery lasts, how's the RAM usage. And what about KITKATs battery drain issue.
Sent from my Micromax A117 using XDA Forums Pro.

Some screenshots regarding battery will be best. Screenshots u attached are not in english.

I tried the camera. I have no focus problem in Piranha Zen. Some camera apps need to tap to focus (like snap camera). But rom's stock camera has default auto focus. May be the difference between our cpu's causing this. We can try something for you, but i need your help. Can you please download this rar file and extract the file inside it to your sd card. Then by using "Root Explorer" copy and replace this "libcameraservice.so" file to the "Root/system/lib" directory. Reboot the phone, does it make any difference?

Battery drain bug is still not fixed, tried the ROM for 5 days but battery dropped when using internet or games very fast.
Also there's a bug on opening accessibility service setting stopped working. The ROM works good for 3-4 days and then afterwards it became like a tortoise very slow. Back on stock ROM, original lollicraft is a good ROM but its not ported for official A117, it's ported for Piranha Zen copy of A117 which is not for our device. Also gallery force closes many a times when you try to open and scroll an album comprising large number of photos.
Overall good ROM if you want it to use for 5 days and never more than that.
For a good battery life, best daily usage, good performance, better stay on official Micromax A117 official stock ROM or if you flashed it you have to come back to the stock ROM.
Be careful while flashing this ROM.

Battery drain problem for kitkat occurs while the screen is off, my script and program solve this problem. Your problem occurs when playing games, i don't play games so i didn't have data about game's battery consumption. Can you give detailed information, for example how much power consumption for the same game in jellybean and kitkat?
FC of gallery occurs in Piranha Zen also, it is the rom's original gallery and i didn't remove it as i don't want to disrespect rom's maker. You can easily use another gallery.
The slowing of rom after 5 days is interesting, did other users face with this problem?

Listen brother I appreciate that you respond for my comment.
Whenever I play clash of kings and clash Royale in the stock ROM, for 1 hour of usage my battery drops 10-15% but in lollicraft it dropped 50%.
The thing that I should install another gallery is a very bad idea.
Installing 2 galleries in my android seems very bad, I tried it but it is not like the stock, third party galleries always slows the device.
And the last thing that it slowed after five days.
Yes. I am a heavy mobile user. It slowed down my device after five days. It will slow every heavy user's device after a couple of days.
That's my opinion. Stay Safe Don't use this ROM as its not officially made for Micromax Canvas Magnus.

I think you installed the stock jeallybean, can you check something for me? In "CPU-Z" program, what is the values of CPU 0, CPU 1, CPU 2 and CPU 3 when in heavy use?
About gallery, I want to say deleting the current gallery with root explorer and copying another one that you like, but I think it will be easier for everyone if I create an install zip for this operation.
