I'm going to give a quick run down of my situation and what I have done and I would just like to get some understanding or guide to what the heck I'm doing different then everyone else.. and I have lots of knowledge in technology and I'v been playing around with phones for 14 years now.. So here's the deal.
I have 2 Sony Xperia X10a. - one from Rogers the other from Fido.. Who give's a crap.. OK next.
I flashed both phones with FlashTool 3.0.0 -
Rom - X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf
Root IT / Reboot
Xrecovery Install. - I select the first one , so the one w/out GB in the name.
Copy Files to SD Card for GB Flash..Files I copy are..
" X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "
" ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "
I also have a folder "Addons" that I have a couple things like.. " SEMC.Calculator.zip & "SEMC.Gmail.Gtalk.Email.zip" ..so on..
I then Reboot the phone into Xrecovery...
1 - Wipe user data
2 - clear cache
3 - advanced options - clear cache again..
4 - Install Custom Zip....Select " X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "... Done
5 - Reboot Via XRecovery and Remove battery Instantly
6 - Flash via FlashTool - X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf
7 - Unplug / Remove battery . Wait 10 Seconds.. Boot phone.
8 - Phones Booted.. My SD Card already was in 2 FAT32 Partitions. One 14GB one 1GB..
9 - Proceed to Link2SD App..Start it.. Reboot Phone..
10- Selected and Linked Apps in Link2SD .. Rebooted Phone..
11 - Started Link2SD ...go to " More " .. Selected link dalvik-cache files... Rebooted Phone
12 - Used File Explorer .. went to SDCard.. if there is a Scriptz folder Delete it.. there was no scriptz folder..
13 - Rebooted Phone.. Enter in Xrecovery mode.. Advanced options .. "Wipe dalvik cache"
14 - Install Custom Zip..Select " ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "... Done...
15 - Rebooted Via Xrecovery
16 - Started Link2SD... go to " More " .. Select "Link dalvik-cache files" again and then "Market Fix"
17 - Rebooted Phone again.
18 - Used phone.. Setup Google Accounts / Email / Facebook / A few apps / synced picasa photos... Rebooted
Done Install..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 - Ran Quadrant Standard Benchmark .. Free From Market.. Only Scored 850
20 - Rebooted.. and then Installed SetCPU.. Few $ from Market....When I started SetCPU I selected " Show Other Frequency Sets " and Selected
Custom Frequency Reads from:
/sdcard/setcpu.txt
/system/sd/setcpu.txt
/data/local/setcpu
Sort Speeds in kHz, Separated by comma, from lowest to highest.
21 - Allowed Root Access.. and I did not Touch one setting in SetCPU. I went to advanced and selected "Apply"
22 - I then went to INFO in SetCPU .. If I run a Short Bench.. I score between 220 - 250.. avg sometimes it spikes.. Long Bench is 519..
23 - Rebooted .. Ran Quadrant again I am only scoring max 1080ish.. Lowest I have seen is 800.. It is all over the place.. and no where close to 1750 that erik is getting..
24 - I also Ran LINPACK and my max on a single thread was 38 .. and on multi-thread it was 32...
I don't understand What I am missing or doing wrong.. Maybe I have spent too much time on it in the past few days flashing and re flashing and yada yada that i'm just in need of a good break and then go back at it.. but my roomie who has the other X10 that I converted her to from the Iphone is also doing the same where it's not scoring to great..
I also am running into issues on her phone where it's having lots of force closes and freezing....I was just doing a quad benchmark on it now and it only scored 600??? I did the exact same.. back to flashing 2.1.. all the exact steps I have taken on my phone.. the only difference is she only has a 2gb sd card so I have not installed Link2SD on her phone.. But I have been told that should not make too much of a difference.. have i been mislead? Please assist. I am VERY lost and starting to get cheesed .. I just want what Erick has LOL But Really I converted her from Apple to Droid because she used my phone when I had one of Erick's first GB Roms and it was running fast.. she was very impressed and happy..
.. OK As I was typing this out I'm playing around with the phones and I just got a new msg on BOTH phones remember one is Link2SD one is Not.. " Could not read SetCPU Custom Config. Reverting to Defaults. Is your SDCard unmounted from the PC? .. Both phones are not plugged in .. I did a remount in storage settings.. Same error.. But If I do a device selection again.. it reads the SD Card SetCPU.txt files.. WOW . I am so confused. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!
I really hope there is enough information here.. ask me for anything or to do anything on it and i'll send it and give it a shot ! Thanks in advanced everyone! and thanks again Erick for the sick ROM!
Wow.. Another Patch! Updating to 3.3f.zip.. Will report back if any change in performance! no change.. now I just have the Sony Setup Menu start everytime my phone boots.. if i clear advanced cache in xrecovery all my sync accounts get deleted.. and I also had to downgrade my market because it was just crashing.. I also have problems with swype .. it keeps crashing in chomp.l never had problems like that until 3.3f update. ... thou I just talked to Janessa and she said her phone is groovy like the 70's.. LOL I don't understand.. She was having the problems...now I am! LOL Let's get some input going! Thanks again Everyone! AKA ERICKWILL!!
Thanks again erick!!
bump?

Hey man, don't bother with scores and numbers.
Flash the patch, let it settle for some hours and use it.
I just flashed the new 3.7 patch few minutes ago and waiting for it to settle.
I didn't read the EDIT.
My x10i got really slow booting and annoying when It gets too low space in sdcard.
Take a look at her sdcard.
For the FC's, I often have them when I flash a new patch. After I done everything in link2sd (relink, reboot, etc), I reboot again and fix permissions at xrecovery. Them I reinstall all apps that are FC using the link2sd interface.
As I said, I just patched to 3.7f and got two FC at launcher startup. This time was App Brain Market and Battery Widget Pro. Reinstalled them using the option "reinstall" inside link2sd and everything is OK now.
Yesterday I patched to 3.3 and got a different FC from today. Total Recall was FC at startup, them I went to link2sd and reinstalled it. It's working fine since them.
any error flashing the 3.7f patch? mine says error at line 12
I had no erros here.
My x10 was running the lastest rom with 3.3f.
Deleted scriptz folder, rebooted, cleaned dalvik cache and flashed.
Booted, went to link2sd, reboot again for mount the 2nd partition.
Booted again, link2sd, relinked dalvik, reboot.
Fixed permissions, reboot. Reinstalled 2 apps that were fc and its stable for now.
i cannot find the scriptz folder on my sdcard? ??!
Which file explorer are you using? I think if you can't see it's because it doesn't exist.
To be sure, connect your phone using USB cable and enable USB mounting to access sdcard from your PC. If you still can't see this way, it surely does not exist in your sdcard.
Go to xrecovery, wipe dalvik cache and flash the patch.
no error.. mm if u did I think u need to start all over from 2.1 again..
ok trying to flash 2.1 again.. still cant see it through my pc.. tnxx
still a fail T_T... there is still no scriptz folder.. and still with the same error flashing 3.7f patch woo

Get all the files you need for the 2.1 flash and the baseband fix if you need for 2.1 flash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 .. the links are in the first post. and one again also remember to use the "Flash" button in flashtool to flash the TFT files. there is no other way to do this but I am just assuming maybe you are flashing custom zips via xrecovery...I hope this helps.. I'm going to have time this week to do a remake of the video on Ericks Firmware install.. It's ok but it's assuming to much little steps.
tHIS IS NOT FOUNDED BY ME just follow these steps.

Have found a way to fix the Cache error (that will fix the Play-Store bug too).
Before flashing the CM-Based ROM you want, follow this (doesn't care which ROM you are on):
1. Download this and put it into your SD-Card.
http://d-h.st/kYt
2. Go into CWM Recovery and flash the downloaded file.
3. Press Next until there's a screen where you can select between EXT4 and RFS.
4. Select RFS and press Next until it finishes.
5. Now format /system, /data, /cache and wipe data.
6. Now Reboot Recovery and flash the ROM.
And your Play-Store should work fully, doesn't matter which Baseband you use.
Some people trying to find how to solve this problem via google. so just some tags:

Then just reboot and you're done!
How to install? (Already installed the cm11 and just want to install gapps now?)
Reboot to recovery (CWM 6.0.5.2+ by psyke83/Jenkins).
Choose the gapps package (only use v2.0 or later for cm11 builds after 22/07/2014) in 'install zip from sdcard' option.

v2.0 (Removed link because this version worked only on Galaxy 5)
Updated updater-script to make installation compatible with new CWM 6.0.5.2+ (with swapped partitions).
Updated Play Store to latest version (v4.8.20).
Continued using JB (cm10.1) Google Framework and Login Services as latest KK (cm11) Google Framework and Login Services exceed the free size of system partition even if slimmed to it's end.

Play store, Google account and everything working.
Removed big apps like talk, youtube, etc.
Updated Play Store to latest version.
NOTE: These gapps are the minimalistic gapps possible.
SD-EXT version
This version will be installed on your sd-ext partition. (So these packages won t occupy space in system partition. This will help devices with tiny system partition.)
Link to the latest package:-
gapps-kk442-20140225-sdext-v2.0.zip (20.5 MB only)
Patch for Mountscript :-
gapps-kk442-sdext-patch.zip (128 KB only)
This patch creates a mount script for your sd-ext partition. And if your using any app2sd apps like link2sd then also please INSTALL this patch. It won't conflict with link2sd (or other app2sd apps), Don't worry.
Patch for Dalvik-cache Duplication:-
dalvik-cache-patch.zip(128 KB only)
This patch is optional and will save you 5 MBs in data partition because it removes (symlinks infact) duplicated dalvik-cache files.
Requirements:-
Need a cm11 build from Jenkins' project: cm-ota which is built after 22/06/2014.
An sd-ext partition of any size having atleast 31 MB free space for v2.0 and 11 MB free space for v1.0.
Any working recovery (Recommended: CWM recovery 6.0.5.2+ by psyke83/Jenkins-cm-recovery).
How to install?
Download gapps package, mountscript patch and dalvik-cache patch from above link.
Install mountscript patch & dalvik-cache patch.
Then install gapps package. (Install simply without any wipes). IF you are using my v1.0 sdext gapps, for upgrading to v2.0 do a full data wipe and again flash cm11.
Reboot to system and you're done!
Changelog:-
v2.0
Made from fresh official cm-11.0 gapps.
Added GmsCore.apk because without it, new cm11 gapps don't allow you to add a Google Account.
GoogleContactSyncAdapter and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter are now moved to /system/app because they must be there (not needed to put in priv-app).
Added few necessary permission files (to /system/etc/permissions) to run Google Maps and few other things.
Added framework jars for maps, drm and media-effects.
Added system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh
Added GoogleOneTimeInitializer.apk (not OneTimeInitializer.apk)
Added ConfigUpdater.apk
v1.0 (only 6.5 MB)
Can be flashed on sd-ext partition.
NOTE: These gapps (all versions) are incompatible with ART.

Problem while installing these gapps
Hi,
I'm having a big problem about getting these gapps to work. Indeed, even if they are installed perfecly through the recovery (CWM/ PhilZ Touch), when my callisto reboots there no google apps (e.g Play Sore) installed. I tried to add my google account through the settings but didn't helped, still nothing. I'm using CM11 made by psyke83 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453085
Any idea to get play store working ?

Please read instructions. Free up enough space in system partition first. And if you're using sd-ext gapps, make sure it has free space and even it exist and you flashed mountscript patch.
READ INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY AND GET THE JOB DONE.

Hi,
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. I deleted all the files you mentionned (some files won't get deleted though).The recovery wasn't giving any error. Anyway, I deleted some others system apps (which I will replace with some third-party apps, it was the only solution because i didn't want to use sd-ext gapps) and finally get the play store installed. Thank you for your help and keep up the good work.

If you have that then you can't use link2sd because the gapps will be installed on the sd-ext partition. So, if you install link2sd it will override the gapps.

Don't give wrong advice please. He can use Link2SD without any problems even if he's using that patch and gapps, already written on first post. gapps will just occupy a little space on sd-ext partition and that's it.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I've already written on first post that installing this patch and gapps won't create any problems with Link2SD. And, if you have link2sd then also you must install that patch because of a different (non-standard) mount-point creation by Link2SD.

The Google Now's Voice Search is not compatible with armv6 devices (like: galaxy5). Because the libs needed for them are compiled for armv7. So it's not fault of my gapps, it's where the limitation of your device arrives.
However, there's a workaround for that (it's not too pretty but it works):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709285
Not related to gapps but only one Question!
I wanted to ask that whether I can install cm11 Nightlies to SDEXT like "psyke" sir developed the rom for my device(GT15503) that can be installed
in the SDEXT ? As the further development has stopped of that Rom so i thought it would be great if Jenkins build could be installed on SDEXT :laugh:.If possible please give me a solution.
Thnx man this works perfectly with The CM11 for Galaxy 551 and had no problem with it whatsoever. I have to applaud you
and say good work on this.

Seems like you are new to XDA.
If somebody helped you, don't make a post to say "Thanks". Just click on the "Thanks" button found on the left of every post. It's the only purpose of the Thanks button which helps to keep the thread clean of common posts which are just made to say: 'Thank you', 'It helped a lot, Thanks' and such others.
Thanks mate. I managed to install it on CM11 for Galaxy Mini/Pop Plus/Next Turbo GT-S5570I (I know. Different names for different countries). The version 1.1, though. I think you updated the post just the day after I downloaded it.
Just for reference other Gapps were crashing the AOSP keyboard. With this it works just fine!
EDIT: Just installed v2.2. No issues either. The catlog is clean and AOSP works!

thanks in advance

@Bhargav97,
Can you do me a favour?
1. Your information in post #1 re: the mountscript is inaccurate - it breaks simple2ext_mod. If someone has S2E installed, they don't need this patch, as /sd-ext will be mounted by simple2ext's script.
2. The dalvik cache patch won't work with with S2E due to the order of script execution. There are two possible solutions:
a) Rename the script to "/system/etc/init.d/91linkduplicates". This will ensure that the script is executed after all userinit.d scripts (including S2E's mount script) have finished.
b) Move the script to /data/local/userinit.d.
Option B has the advantage of surviving full OTA updates... however, you will need to choose a different name for the script to make sure it is executed after /data/local/userinit.d/simple2ext. The first letter of the filename would need to start with the letters t-z (so that it's executed after simple2ext). Ideally simple2ext's script should start with a number, but since I forgot to make that change in my initial mod, it's a bit of a pain to change it now (as the app will create duplicate mount scripts)
It would probably have been a better idea to implement a userinit.d script to symlink *all* gapps files on /system (as well as the dalvik duplicates), instead of doing any symlinking in the updater-script. That would make the whole gapps sd-ext package compatible with full OTA updates (as the userinit script survives /system reformatting), and avoid the need to provide a separate dalvik cache patch. Let me know if you want me to write the script.
Note: take backup of everythng , remove accounts and security , i am not responsible of anything so try at your own risk , internet connectivity needed during magisk steps
hello awesome people.thought will share how i installed viper4andoid on my k20 pro
1. restart to recovery (i have latest orange fox)
2. wipe first 5 things except internal memory
3. install vendor than os (arrow os 11 gapps stable i used)
4. go to manage partitions and data than format data than yes
5.reboot to system and after setup come back to recovery
6.install magisk 21.1 and reboot system
7.device will go into fastboot mode so go back to recovery and install magisk 21.0 than reboot system and this time device should boot up
8.go to magisk and install audio modification library than reboot
9.go to magisk and install viper4andoid than reboot
10.open viper4andoid and give su permisssion than install driver
11.wifi may break so use custom kernel like englezos kernel from recovery (before flashing kernel take backup of boot and dtbo)
12.come back to viper4andoid and go to settings and turn legacy mode on and restart device
13.bam viper should work
hope will work for u guys too
