Guys, I don't like this mess which is around 2nd mic. I've just flashed CM11 20140507 nightly as effective mentioned above, but 2nd mic is NOT WORKING during video rec.

How to test it? Cover the 1st mic (below the screen, on the side of the phone, 2 holes, one of them is the 1st mic) completely with your finger during video rec. You nearly won't hear anything on the record. On stock rom there will be sound with the above method because there the 2nd mic is working.

Also tried Tapemachine audio recorder from play store. In the app you can choose audio source. On CM11 it records with the 1st mic even I choose 2nd (back mic). On stock rom both the 1st and 2nd mic option is working as it should.

Would be good an "official" topic for this --2nd mic issue on custom roms-- in ZR topics, because it is not else just mess.

Hei notstupidthing, are you reading your private messages? :)

Sorry man, but I have to write 3 words: reading, reading, reading

All these with friendly mood of course :)

Don't start anything like this if you don't have enough time to read a lot. Custom roms are nice, but need lot of time to get the knowledge for first timers. Because I think flashing a rom is one thing, not so difficult, but it is very stupid if you don't know what are you doing, and in case of any trouble you have to wait for forumers (maybe for days) for answer. Instead get the knowledge first, then start.

one link and useful keywords, if you don't know where to start:

backup TA partition

how to flash stock sony firmware

flashtool and drivers

locked/unlocked bootloader

how to unlock bootloader, what will it cause

root

custom recovery

how to install custom rom

I think you will find all of these in the xperia zr topics

I have been reading up alot and as much as if hate to say it, i am having a hard time at the right tutorials.

But tha ks ill keep doing my research :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
see my other posts, apparently 2nd mic is completely messed up in cm/fxp builds... not just for dogo/xzr but also for yuga/xz

i hope i'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
anyeone notice that the nightly has stopped for some days?

Yes, i hought it as due to the weekend.

Hopefully this doesn't mean fxp discontinued dogo support...
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Its because sony released 4.4.2 stock rom.Cyanogenmod will cook more stable roms from now on.That's the reason for the delay.

[Sony Xperia ZR] kanyazsombor:
Have you checked the 2nd mic?
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Does not work.If it is it will be mentioned in the changelog.Check it out.
[Sony Xperia ZR] puppynaz:
Yeah, [MENTION=3428319]effective[/MENTION] is right :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
not really.. :D

yes, "2nd mic" is NOT working on all custom roms afaik, guess they all are based on the same codes, maybe the kernel? not sure, reported it on fxp and cm bugtrackers many days ago, but NO response whatsoever.

i can live with the "ugly" indicator light, low speaker volume and/or other quirks not found in official sony roms, but "2nd mic" is really troubling, cause no one seem to care at all and it renders video recording useless on zr.

i've posted numerous posts about this, i heard that it's also NOT working on xperia z aka yuga, but it's not conclusive.

since it's working on stock rom but not custom, i'm sure someone can fix it if he/she wants to, whether anyone bothers to do so is of course another matter....

all in all, on custom roms, the 2nd mic seems just not "present", the system and apps simply don't realise it's there....

;)

ok i switched over from FXP and first thing i got into a bootloop... finally found out it was AdAway that was causing it. anyone else has this problem?
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
I have AdAway,but don't have this problem.Maybe you need to clean the dalvik and put the Cyan's kernel manualy first.
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
here's what i did...

1. flashed CM11 over FXP

2. booted fine.

3. updated AdAway/hosts file

4. bootloop =.=

5. cleared dalvik

6. optimizing apps, etc etc... bootloop

7. reflashed including format /system = same thing

8. wipe data. reinstalled all my other apps = no problem

9. installed AdAway. reboot = bootloop >.<!

10. revert to FXP. lol

but i did NOT put the CM11 kernel manually tho. since it was in the script...
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Wow..well..u did everything that i could think of.Its strange that after a full wipe u have the loop again.. :eek: Maybe trying with older version of the program? I rly don't know.Or..just don't update the hosts files :laugh: at least it will work.Maybe something is wrong with the root permission or the google services who are blocked by the program.(which is strange)
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
lol haha. anyway i'm back to FXP (320 tho since 322 download page is broken) and using the same versions of everything without issue... :/

oh well tks anyway :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
found the problem...

SuperSU and AdAway are not playing well together... so i'm now using CM11's builtin root app... weird tho since there wasn't any problems with FXP

EDIT:/// weird... that wasn't it... GRRR

EDIT2: hmm... i suspect it may be due to me disabling the Themes... which may not be related to AdAway at all... but i don't really wanna waste another 3 hours reconfiguring my phone lol... for some reason backup/restore will break my baseband and i need to reflash stock and reflash cm11 again :/ disabling Themes on FXP has no probs tho...

EDIT3: flashed 20140606... 4.4.3! :D seems to be fine so far with Themes enabled. perhaps that could be it

cm 11 bug

Wanted to share this bug with you guys.

It will for sure happen if you reboot your phone or shutdown completely and then start the phone and do not use the phone until it goes to sleep once. Then if I try to use the phone the problem shows up. Another thing to note is that the phone does not FREEZE at all as I can still use the hardware keys and even use the camera completely fine. Just all the touch functionality goes away.
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
that is a known kernel bug ever since tap-to-wake was included. disable DoubleTapToWake in Display settings and make sure that Settings process does not get killed or ended
[Sony Xperia ZR] gurinderhans:
Hi there, is there any other way that I can disable double tap to wake because if you do close settings the option reenables by itself. Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
no it doesn't. it only reenables is the Settings process is killed. so if u use any autokill/memorybooster/fastreboot apps/etc make sure Settings.apk is in your exclusion list
[Sony Xperia ZR] gurinderhans:
I am sorry, by closing I meant killing the settings process. Is there any other fix for this, I mean instead of having to keep settings open or has this bug been reported to cyanogenmod and is this a problem on other phones as well?? Or its just this phone. Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
the freezing screen is a kernel bug. i'm sure the devs are aware of it. so we'll just have to wait for a fix
[Sony Xperia ZR] puppynaz:
I was going to revert to stock just for the camera sake. But then I installed Google Camera. The quality of the image is much better than the CM/AOSP camera. I clicked a photo of the same object with both the cameras, and found that the image clicked from the Google Camera was of 3.9 MB and the one from the CM/AOSP camera was of just 2.3 MB.

But, obviously, the CM/AOSP camera is faster than the Google Camera in image capturing. And also with the Google Camera, we cannot take videos from the front-facing camera because it supports only 480p, 720p and 1080p videos.

There should be a way to make the Google Camera libs merge into the CM/AOSP camera for our device. Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Ok,so I am sorry for the off topic,but you guys need to READ THIS and spread it to everyone with XPERIA phone which have a Flap for the Audio jack. Because its very IMPORTANT.

First of all i am a user of the XPERIA ZR for an year now. (took it instantly when it came out.),and i am a heavy music listener too.So this is the result of the heavy usage. (the uploaded pics below show how the rubber under the flap is torned from the often pulling in and out.

So the hint here is to be very careful when you put the flap out.First take it upward as much as u can and than turn it aside.

Unfortunately i missed to see that and dived with my phone.Salt water penetrated in the phone from there,and my touchscreen is not responding how it should.I am telling this cos i dont want that incident to happen to someone else.
[Sony Xperia ZR] puppynaz:
Same. Been hardly 4 months since I got the phone and the charging flap is very loose. It may even break someday.
[Sony Xperia ZR] gurinderhans:
Sorry to hear! Thanks for telling though. I also try to avoid opening the flaps as much as possible as I have gotten the charging dock to charge the phone and I rarely ever use the phone to listen to music so I haven't opened the audio flap for a long time. Thinking about getting Bluetooth headphones so I wont need to connect them using a wire to the phone. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
thanks mate for letting us know but...

there must be something wrong with your usages I listen to music every day in my workplace or home or on the way, I open the flaps many many many times, I charge my phone twice a day as I have use it pretty high for developing or music or talking and massaging ( recently I playing clash of clans and my phone has been charged 4 times a day for a week!! )

but my flaps are totally ok no problem at all last night I went to pool and bring my phone with myself, no problem even in 1 meter diving.

did you dive to the water? cause it's water proof and all but not dive proof :laugh: when you dive there's much amount of pressure on phone which makes it more risky to get watered inside, (sorry for my really bad English here :( )

hope you fixed that :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Yes,i dived in the sea (ive already did that 6/7 times and no problems,i guess the flap was fine the last summer) and the difference is the salt water.The salt is a bi..ch :silly: cos it makes corrosion.At least my display is fine now it fixed by itself dunno how :eek: god bless ZR power :victory: (but my cam shutter button is not working now :laugh: ) and i was talking only for the audio jack flap.the Charger flap is perfectly fine since i clear them up often from the dust and its very strong still.A friend of mine - phone engeneer told me that if salt water penetrate in a phone you need to take out the batt and clear it from everywhere with fresh water with opened flaps,than use drying methods.Anyway,i can still use my phone,it survived (i can even hear people clearer when i talk with someone now) :laugh: :victory:
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
salty, I agree!!! well tell you what take your phone a trip to a clean water! :laugh: maybe the camera button works after that!!!

and hear this=>

I had Xperia Sola about two year ago, went to the shore and sat on a mat, it was great then a huge wave came and nearly got everything we had, especially my phone :D.

So I've searched for it into water and after 15 min I found it, (a miracle accrued) I couldn't help but noticed touch didn't work and it says sim card removed!!!!, well I thought sim died as well as phone! :( as it's battery wasn't removable I hard powered off by the key combination and waited for 12 hours. turned it on everything worked!! couldn't believe it. just it did not charged, so I turned it off again and washed the charge socket by a alcohol spray and soft paper. turned it on charging worked :) it's still working great and I sold it to my friend, still working!! the same thing happened to my friends galaxy wave, didn't survived :( he paid almost the phone price for touch and screen replacement as well as some repairing on board.
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Nice to hear that your phone survived,but im afraid to clear it with fresh water :D i will try to open it myself and clear it as much as i can (i can live with broken shutter button tho ^^ ).Eagerly waiting for the upcoming Z3 flagship since ive found that sony will put a new Curved CMOS sensor for its feauture phones,or i hope so^^.Its time Cybershot high class to come again hehe.

Since it's stories I wanna tell something.

I was in a pool party with my group. One of them was having the "next big thing" galaxy s5. Was bragging about it. Then a friend of mine challenged me and the s5 guy for a dip underwater.

I said no bub you shouldn't, yours is resistant mine is proof...

Just then he uttered this heinous sentence "what happened Zubair, are you afraid that your 25k will suck b**** of my 50k". We both threw our phones in the pool.....

I've been trying latest nightlies + fxp330 on my brothers ZR. Dayum, there are unstable! He has to reboot the phone several times a day because of massive bugs like no sound, touch screen stops working etc.

Have you guys found any almost stable CM11 version? Trying fxp331 tomorrow to see if that fixes anything.

Offtopic, do you guys know why there is no CM11 milestone builds for ZR? M9 for my z1c is so stable, the same for my brothers zr would be amazing.. :)

Eventually, could I get a tip on a good, stable kitkat based 3rd party ROM for ZR? I'm trying to keep him on custom ROMs, but his experience so far (Only CM..) has been poor.

Edit: When flashing cm11 through recovery, or when updating CM through updater: It flashes boot.img (kernel and recovery) too? Does this have to be done manually?
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
no issues with nightlies. very stable. haven't been using FXP since 312 or something.

can't say much about "no sound", but touch screen stops working is a known kernel bug related to dt2w... might wanna disable that
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
never know that, but probably due to z1c more popular.

edit: just found out yuga also has no m builds, which means there are probably no official maintainer for fusion3 devices at cm. let's stride over the z1c forums and see why...

no, only the 1st time. upgrading from cm to cm no need to flash boot.img separately.

all saying, cm nightly has been pretty stable for me.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Australian d802t variant and root/roms/unlock? Can we use same info as standard international d802?
[G2 General] ITsniper:
I dont think so

Been trying everything for the past few days, have yet to successfully install a ROM on the D802T. I think all these tools are for all phones but our version. I can't even get TWRP installed and it's the D802 international version, I know because I just tried, this is my third time, Tried everything I could think of, no luck. Autorec will get you into recovery, but once you leave that menu, you will just brick your phone, and you will need to flash the stock rom again.

If you find any ROMS that will work please post them, because I can't find anything that works apart from rooting. I think I may buy a phone from America next. Worst experience I have had for a phone I wanted to install a ROM on, never had this problem ever on previous phones.

Once I had the TWRP .img file, I used Recovery Tools to flash TWRP.

I then downloaded PhilZ Touch Recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2554053

I booted into TWRP Recovery and from there, flashed PhilZ Recovery. From that point on, when I boot into recovery, I get into PhilZ instead of TWRP.

I still haven't figured out how to boot into recovery using the power/volume buttons. I've tried a few times and I can't get it to work. However, Recovery Tools has a reboot option, and that works great for now. Of course, if I get into trouble and can't access this app, that option is gone :(
