Localization services FC

Hi to all,

After some time with stock rom, I decide to put some more "vitamins" with this ROM, which look likes really nice!! but I had a big problem which makes me loose my GPS.

I have made a new clean re-install for second time (means Factory reset, then Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache, and finally load again ExistenZ ROM), but problem appears again after some hours of use (yes... it works fine at beginning!!! :confused:): I loose my Localization services (GPS also...), no matter how I try to enable them, I get a FC message:

1) "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped": If I try to enable in the Settings -> Location Services -> Enable "Access to my location"

2) "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped": If I try to enable GPS in the Quick Settings

I have some problems with other apps (gltosd forces a soft reboot of the devices everytime I try to run it... but not sure if is related with ROM, or with app), but apart from that, all seems to work great.

Anyone can help?

Do you have any idea of what can happen here?

GPS is a key option for me to use (I don't use a paper maps... since ages... :angel:)

I attach the LogCat file if can help (just saving the both ways of try to enable Location Services - GPS, as said before)

Thanks in advance

Jorge

Am I the only one with major battery drain issues? I can't seem to survive the day with one charge, it has been a problem for me since like .423 don't know if that would help, to start with a clean install with 423 and then root and stuff and install the rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
That always helps and kernel swithing will help to if your bootloader is unlocked,and try to clear data of eco controller in apps

Problem is I have already done like 3 clean installs, the problems started with 6.5. I was on 6.0 for a long time and I had no problems.

But I mean to use 423 as a clean start because on 423 I had no problems, but don't know if that would make a difference

Good morning [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]. I have read on various forums on the photo comparisons between Z1C and Z2: It would seem that the Z2 has an algorithm that allows it to compress less photos. Do you think you could do something for the Z? A kind of porting ...

Which kernel are you using? Have you enabled any mod or xposed module? When do you have these reboot exactly?

Envoyé de mon C6603 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
I am running the kernel delivered with this rom. Exposed is enabled (with gravity box module and app settings module) and no mod at all.

I have these reboots only while driving. My bluetooth is randomly restarting (looks as if my car was sending an invalid bluetooth query regularly) and sometimes, but not systematically, the phone reboots.

Try to disable xposed framework and retry ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
I already got a reboot with xposed uninstall ... no "proof" it was exactly the same issue or cause, as it is random and I have no procedure to reproduce. But the phone rebooted in my car, exactly the same way. I was suspecting a specific app, but it seems several sony devices are suffering from this issue ... I can do another test next time (most probably next Monday)

Locked Bootloader, Tmobile 6606

Installed Rom and it came up fine. I am using CWM 6028. After restoring some files with TiBu, I did a reboot but the phone boot looped. Came to bootanimation and cycled back to start again.

I lost the ability to get into recovery, "green light" then "either volume key" to get recovery. I didn't realize that flashing the rom does that.

Any ideas of how to get into recovery? I have good Nandroid backups to restore. Can't get into ADB but can fastboot.

HELP!

Hi man,

I did it 2 times, but unfortunatelly after reinstalling from previous ROM, reroot, clean everything (wipe all caches and Factory data reset)... again my Location services were disabled automatically and make a FC after trying to enable them (same for GPS widget)

Thanks niaboc79, just was guessing why I'm the only one with this issue... maybe a reinstall would fix this issue... until next eXistenZ... :) of course

Not really, I came from NUTS's stock rooted room first time I installed eXistenZ, but maybe another try make sense... probably this weekend!

Thanks!! I will try thsi weekend !!

Sweet!!... Unfortunately I have run commands through ADB Shell... but still luck: No Location Services/GPS, and also GLtoSD app which makes a lot of symlinks and commands... crash after trying to run it (even after first run with no luck... in second time it makes a hard reboot of the device when trying to create symlinks!!) :eek:

I already did that, but I didn't used DoomLord method to root my phone. I intstalled a pre-rooted one. This is why I don't know if this ROM would be compatible with my phone right now, if I need to unlock my bootloader or if I am able to install it in the conditions which I have right now.

Everytime I restart my phone it asks to select the language. The proper language is selected and I need to just select done. It is annoying and I'd like to fix it.

I flashed C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic DE.ftf and made the proper language selection, English/USA. I thn rooted with rootkitXperia_20131207 and recovery, CWM-locked-bl-XZ-v4_244. Then I flashed our rom with no problem except the select language on every restart.

Can someone tell me what's wrong or point me where to look?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Metallijim:
Dokey

okay, here's what I did (more or less)

Download all files in this folder: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rp3c2y5ocssz1/Viper4Android

Install Viper 4 android as a system app (ie take apk, move to system/app set permissions rw--r--r--)

Reboot

open viper4android, let it fail driver install, exit

Take audio_effects.conf and place in system/etc set permissions rw--r--r--

Take audio_effects.conf(vendor) and place in system/vendor/etc, rename to audoi_effects.conf and set permissions rw--r--r--

Take your pick from the lib files (normal or HQ or SQ)

Rename to libv4a_fx_ics.so and place in system/lib/soundfx and set permissions rw--r--r--

Reboot, see how it goes. If you use walkman set viper to compatiable mode.

Keep me posted, I'll try to help as much as I can.
[Xperia Z Android Development] RJASSI21:
Hangon so your saying that after moving the audio_effects.conf it shouldnt ask to install drivers
[Xperia Z Android Development] Metallijim:
Sorry, after moving lib file it shouldn't. That's the driver. Audio_effects.conf tells it where it is.
