Is there any VPN working on Android L? I can't even log into my Google account and restore my apps in China because everything Google is now blocked....Hola doesn't work, fqrouter doesn't work either. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with it.
Thanks.
Um you do know that L is a developer preview edition, not necessarily ready for daily use...? I would read thru a bunch of the L threads already out there there might be a hack

I had the same problem. I use VyprVPN for China and couldn't even log into my account. Tried to set it up manually and also failed.

Hello Everyone.
Good News for everyone. I have decided to maintain a help thread at Xperia L community in order to keep the threads for development/general section more clean and better organised. I have been noticing for a long time that whenever new users join, they still are not sure about the rules and thus mistakenly post in the wrong sections too often. If any senior member points it out to them, mostly it is either ignored or taken personally. Thus I have decided a combined help section would be very helpful to the community and the questions which are sometimes left unanswered and lost in question answer forums, that would not happen again for all of you.
I would be personally answering all your questions and shall refer you to someone in case I feel someone else would be able to answer the same question in a more detailed way. Other users can feel free to answer as well if you think you can tackle the situation well and make sure while answering any question, you provide enough information to the users as well. You can easily link the users to posts if you think a question has been already answered.
REASONS I AM MAKING THIS
Lots of repetitive questions.
Same things told again and again
Threads remain clean
A simple reference to every important thread that you should visit in case you have a problem
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Read the rules here XDA RULES BEFORE YOU POST
Idea of this thread is to help and to be helped. So ask any question you have in mind related to Xperia L, Android, or anything at all as long as it is related to Xperia L directly or indirectly.
Make sure you are precise with your information
Be Detailed
Do not repeat the same thing again and again
Use search button to find if your question has been asked before. Do not repeat your question if it is answered before.
WHAT INFORMATION YOU MUST PROVIDE
1.Your bootloader status
2. Rom name with complete baseband/date/version
3. Kernel name
4. Any Mods you are using
5.If you are using Custom Rom, your flashing style i.e dirty/clean or you wiped anything else in specific
6. If you used any guide, link to the guide
7. Root status
8. Your exact problem
9. Any method you tried that failed
10.Any other detail you think would be necessary
Make sure you provide as much details as possible. Things like my phone won't turn on please help would not be of any help to you or to the person answering. So please make sure you provide as much detail so we know exactly what is your problem and thus guide you in the right direction.
A sample would be something like this
Device: c2105
ROM name: CM 12 dated 10th May
ROM version and base: 3.99-RC2
Build number: CM_taoshan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G
kernel version and its settings: 3.4.0-thunderzap.kernel.plus [email protected] #193
Rooted
Sabertooth Mod
I can not use my WIFI. Although i tried flashing Wifi modules but it does not work.
I flashed CM over 1.5.2A.0.17 Stock
ETC

Please remember "Give respect to others, others will respect you back!" in simple words, No abuse towards newbies/noobs will be tolerated here! So anyone found doing that would be reported.
Another important thing is MAKE SURE YOU THANK THE PERSON who helps you. This is to show your appreciation to someone who personally took his time to answer your question. He had been nice enough to do it for FREE and nothing else. A simple thank you to his post will go a long way. The questions would be answered more and the one who is answering would be happy to answer more questions. So it is a gain gain situation for all of you. Read my signature because most people take help for granted here. So be kind to others and HIT THANKS BUTTON A LOT.

Hey, guys! Hope you're having a nice day! I'll cut to the chase now...
Now, I wanna downgrade my Xperia L from android version 4.2.2 to version 4.1.2. I know there already are quite a few threads on this topic but, I am completely new to all of this. I've tried following those and many other threads but have not been able to accomplish anything so far. Ha! I don't even what some of the terms mean.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Is there any Lollipop ROM which is (relatively) stable and bugfree? I have CM12.1 and am not really satisfied (after all it's only beta 2)
It doesn't have to have plenty of functionality (but would be nice if it really had some)

Although everyone likes to have their own customisation in a ROM and what features they are looking for, it is very hard to pin point which would suit you best. For now , the best thing you can do is test few roms like Resurrection Remix, PACMAN etc and see what suits you best.
As far as your stablility issues are concern, the BSOD is major problem in 12.1. I suggest you go back to CM12 nightlies from official website.

There is a similair thread at the Galaxy Tab 2 forum. It might be best to ask a mod to pin this.
And @Joel16, I still have the device in my possession. (It's eating dust in my drawer) I'll check here regularly to help users if needed.
Cheers.

@SdtBarbarossa you could also add flashing supersu zip for #2. Your method is easier, of course, but personally i run to some issues with cm's default (ie titanium backup seems to prefer supersu). Not sure if it's just me though.

've unlocked bootloader by following the instructions provided on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and the fastboot tool sad "OKAY". Now when I try to turn it on again, I see SONY and then XPERIA logo, and then Xperia colour animation on the screen. It's been like that for more than an hour, and to turn it off I needed to pull out the battery. PC companion doesn't recognize it . I've tried holding the volume up button while starting up (the logos) and holding down both volume buttons and nothing happened.
Is there any way to fix this?

After Xperia L
First of all thank you for this useful thread.
My question :
Why is Sony Xperia L lucky for custom ROMs, Kernels etc. I know that Soc (Snapdragon) has major requirement for this kinds of staff. However, I think, Xperia L has also something different and Which Sony Smart Phone are you suggest to buy after sony Xperia L supported like this?

Hi,
I recently purchased a Huawei GX1S and overall found it a good phone except for one thing: the ROM. It uses a Huawei customized ROM which I personally find horrible as it doesn't have any of the regular apps like Play Store or Chrome. It uses Huawei update servers, EMUI, as its system update download server so therefore I can't get any of the Google official updates.
I've Googled up several times to try and find the original Google custom ROM and haven't found anything related to it. The best I could find were 2 tutorial sites that had survey locked download links which I honestly don't trust and wouldn't waste my time on. There seems to be no information at all for this product. Are there any available custom ROMs out there that I can use with this device?
Thanks
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I'm not finding anything at XDA for your device.
Try posting your question in the forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
The experts there may be able to help.
Remember to register an XDA account so you can post and reply in the forums. Good luck.
Hello XDA forum!
Now, I know and some of you guys might've realised that I have already made a thread about it here, but it got closed before I got a chance to reply (10 posts restriction, cheers XDA admins ).
So, I've decided to re-post it again, so I could give an update what else I've tried. Quoting from here.
Hello XDA forum.
So, recently I've decided to hop back into Snapchat (as changing schools meant new friends that used Snapchat as often as Facebook), but the problem starts when I try to log back into my old account.
Firstly, it could not log me in ("Can't log in" message), so after doing a basic Google search I've found that removing Xposed and then logging into Snapchat worked for people. Needless to say, I've done that(which took about 30+ minutes to optimize apps post uninstall and reinstall), but after opening the app, all I've saw is a GUI of Snapchat(aka the buttons), camera screen was black, and after a second, the app force closed without notification(aka without "Unfortunately, XYZ has stopped" prompt or that sort of thing).
Here's the specs of device:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus(GT-I9105P), s2vep
ROM: Unofficial CM 12.1 20160115 build, the one I've got redirected from CM wiki to
Xposed build: v80 SDK v22 build
Here's what I've tried so far:
-Reinstalling the app over 9000 times;
-Clearing the app's data/cache;
-Method mentioned in the story above;
-Bashing my head into a wall until it started to hurt;
-Praying Snapchat devs to stop using "no go for root" policy;
-Creating a new account without Xposed.
Any help on this regard would be really appreciated. I'm totally desperate on options and Casper is NOT a good alternative to me, I want the original app.
Thank you.

Also, Vatsal replied to use Xposed Uninstaller zip to flash it. And yes, I've tried that method, without any luck though. Even if I uninstalled Xposed and then installed Snapchat, it would still show the black cam crash. Installing Xposed back and adding Snapprefs made no difference whatsoever.
What I've also noticed that in login screen, the front camera worked flawlessly, which is weird and doesn't make any sense.
More help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sincerely,
MrRubikon.

In the thread linked above, I didn't mean to uninstall Xposed apk. I meant to flash the uninstaller zip with a custom recovery.

Yes, Vatsal that's what i meant after all - using custom recovery to flash xposed uninstaller(god for bid, no need to uninstall apk). Neverthless, method was fruitless.
But thanks for pointing out into another thread, i'll take a look into it.

Hello,
I'm new in this forum.I want some help from developers. I'm using Xiaomi Redmi 5(rosy) which has Snapdragan 450 chipset. It comes with Android version 7.1.2 (Nougat). I want to upgrade to Android 8(Oreo) so I downloaded an Unofficial Build of Lineage OS 15.1 for my device. But after flashing I found camera,fingerprint sensor and all other sensors are not working . After booting it shows "A vendor image mismatch has been detected. Typically this means your vendor image is out of date. " . I don't know why it's showing this message.
I want to fix those bugs.How can I do that ?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my bad English

I don't have this device but, the following area of the forum is specific to your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-5
With that guidance...
Purely as a personal opinion, I would really doubt that someone would be able to support a development that they didn't develop on top of your having an Unofficial release of the LineageOS 15.1 (rosy) when there's nothing on the forum regarding this release. Also, i had tried to perform a quick search to locate this using a few methods and was unable to locate anything to even refer you to.
I'm not stating that "Nobody" will help you out but, as a developer myself, I just feel that you would have a hard time to obtain assistance.
This is why I can only refer you to the link above that's specific to your device.
I wish you the best of luck!
