It's quite possible that not clearing the cache and the Dalvik cache would affect your phone in unpredictable ways. The caches store information important to the system to know how to run it's apps quickly and efficiently. If it contains information meant for a different rom or version of this rom then it could try to use that for this rom and that spells trouble.

So, here's what I suggest you do. Of course, have a good backup in TB and in CWM. I don't know if what I will suggest overwrites your data, but it may so just be safe. I would download and flash WCS version 1.5 from the OP to make sure I have the most recent copy. Before restarting the phone, clear the cache from the first CWM menu and go to the advance menu to clear the Dalvik cache. While there, run Fix Permissions. Then restart the phone normally. Once in normal operation I'd restart into recovery and flash the zupdate.zip file. I'd clear the cache and Dalvik then fix permissions and restart phone normally. I believe you'll have as good an installation as I know how to advise. Please let me know how it goes and ask questions if I didn't explain something well enough.

Grab a cup or coffee or a beer. Take a deep breath and go for it. Good luck.

So don't flash 1.5b?

Silly me, the zupdate.zip is 1.5b lol. sorry. I'll try this out after I answer a few text. Do I need to clear the caches again when putting the wifi update?
 
Ok jet here is what I am having problems with....

the WiFi works if I go to more then turn on WiFi I have flashed the fix that you provided and the first turn on WiFi still does not work. Not a big issue I don't see why we need two just eliminate first one and problem solved.

Second the first launcher still shows up when I hit home button I use the holo launcher but cannot figure out how to eliminate the other doesn't show up anywhere to close it. So basically I am running both launchers somehow. When I first flashed 1.5b last night I used the first one then switched to holo but now when I hit home button it goes back to the other launcher desktop not holo ? Kinda weird just noticed this

To fix the launcher problem, go to settings>applications>manage apps and highlight ALL then find Xperia and take off the "clear defaults" near the bottom. That should do it. Then you'll have an opportunity to select the default again.

Ok will try now let you know if it works.
 
HawgHunter, Thank you. My phone did randomly reset maybe there was too much going on. Sorry for thread jacking but I heard TB is better for killing apps (or freezing them, something like that) than using Advance task killer pro.

OT: Do I need to clear the caches again when putting the wifi update?
 
Jet does the Wi-Fi fix also include the new beats drivers? I can't remember. I know 1.5b does. And no rush on that version without them, just when you get time.

Also, for any of you having issues. If you flash a lot of Roms it might be a good idea to use the update tool and take your phone all the way back to stock every once in awhile. If you notice that you are having issues today no one else is having this is definitely a way to rule out software issues and narrow it down to hardware. Do a search in the forum for ultimate warp drive. This is a tool created by former warp user Snakex that will revert you back to stock remove cwm and replace with stock recovery. It will also reroot your phone and reinstall cwm. I found this helpful tip from MrBoBo really fixed many of the problems I was having that no one else in the different Rom threads seemed to have.

Yes, clear the system cache and the Dalvik cache. I do it every time I flash a zip file. It doesn't hurt and it does help. I also do fix permissions to avoid that question from coming up later if I have an app that is misbehaving.

Has the phone settled down now?

No problem on the TB. It's been an issue on this thread for some time now. If you have more specific questions, feel free to PM me so we don't clutter the thread.

Enjoy... :) :) :)
 
Guys, I've heard a lot of praise for this ROM and I'm one of the loudest. It's a great piece of work. It's has a clean, crisp look without all of the bloatware. Now that the WiFi questions have been addressed, this ROM is a solid as the stock ROM was for me. Because of jetx2x's work on the system "under the hood", this ROM is very responsive, too. I really can't think of anything negative to say about it. It's a great job, jetx2x. I've thanked you by clicking the link on your OP to donate a little bit to you. I encourage everyone else who likes this ROM to help you with whatever that can afford. Thank you again for the hard work.

Jet hasn't completed the coding for that WiFi shortcut. He has stated this many times already. The Wi-Fi fix only fixed the issue from 1.5a where you had to reboot to switch between Wi-Fi and 3g. That fix is included in 1.5b and I can confirm that WiFi and 3g switch without reboot needed. Folks lets strive to read more before cluttering this thread and confusing future Rom users as to what needs to be done to fix whatever issue they are experiencing. Very helpful posts in this thread from jet, Hawg, and many others. I agree with what has been stated many times before, this Rom is clean and fully functional. Jet has done an awesome job for us on this one
 
Hey Jet Thanks for this GREAT ROM brother and would like to get more help from you later this weekend on the other stuff you were helping me with.

So far the ROM has been kicking butt. I have had zero problems with this new update and look forward to the new one when you get it all done.
