have had my phone for a while now and i think that the weakest part of the device is the actual phone programme. just recently it is failing to identify the number/name of incoming calls. only once i have answered does it show on the screen.

any ideas as this is starting to bug me?!

thank you!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .K':
Hi,

I'm about to get a Z1 in a few days so I stalked the forums already.

So I noticed something that confuses me.

I found the CM11 Thread by FreeXperiaProject and I also checked the original CyanogenMod Homepage.

So it seems like there are the official CM Nightlys and the FreeXperiaProject release of CM11.

Which of them is "the right one" ? Should I stick with the forums and use the FXP Version or the official one?

Is there a difference at all?

Hope you can enlighten me :D

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .K':
wow .. that was ... not helpful at all.

As I said: I already found BOTH the FXP and Official CM11 releases/nightlys.

And call me stupid but I could not find any infos about differences in both versions on the CM Download page. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Your question was, "Should I stick with the forums and use the FXP Version or the official one?", my response was a link to the official, I thought that was clear enough. There's most often no difference except that the common CyanogenMod code is generally newer in the official releases.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] danizmax:
Hi,

I've been using galaxy tab 8.9 with custom ROMs for more than a year and a half now, and sometimes it was acting strange, like flickering dialogs and crashes. Usually this meant an unstable ROM or just cache wasn't cleared when a new ROM was installed. And it was stable for some time, till I did a reset. Now no ROM is stable any more in addition to this, the battery sometimes says it is empty, but after restart it is back to normal status. I tried number of ROMs without luck, all are flickering lately which must mean it is not ROMs fault.

I am running out of ideas what to do with this tablet, so I'm asking if you guys have any suggestions, what else can I do to fix it.

NOTE: when installing a new ROM, I always did it with CWM recovery from internal storage with data, cache, dalvik wipe and factory reset.

regards, Daniel
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Do you ever wipe the system partition?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Agree. In TWRP, a factory reset only wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. You have to manually format system. A clean install requires to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Try flashing the original firmware via odin.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] danizmax:
Flashing original firmware would be my last resort. Is there any difference between odin and CWM flashing?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Of course. Flashing original firmware via odin brings back the original setup that came with the tab out of the box. I just don't remember if it will delete the contents of internal sd card. In any case, you can flash original firmware thru CWM as I always do, though I only flash boot and system images I modified in Kitchen. It will still be stock but only that it has been debloated, rooted, busybox installed, init.d enabled, and some system apps replaced.

Just remember that when flashing ROMs via CWM do a factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache). In addition to the wipe, the rom.zip itself formats the system partition prior to flashing.

Weird, after wiping data and installing black version, i have bootloops, can't even get into the recovery.. On white version didn't have that problems.. Is there a way to get into recovery now? Or only reflash through flashtool?
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
use philz recovery

I have installed the rom without any problem.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Masteq:
How? The phone reboots even before vibrations (on sony logo) so I can't even reboot it into recovery..
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
Do a fresh install.

Do you have a C5302 or C5303.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Masteq:
C5303, never had any problems with white version, I think it might be because of TWRP, as I wiped data in it, because philz doesn't recognize sdcard0. Anyhoo, i'm doing a fresh install atm, redownloaded rom again, will try this time with CWM

guy i need help,,, my phone is currently on existenz 2.1.5 white version.. then trying ths blck version... i booted up in twrp... i just wiped cache and dalvik,,, then flashed black edition of existenz i got error i forgot... then rebooted my devices.. its stucks in sony logo... tried to use flashtool .. it lights up the green light when i press down volume ... but after secnds it goes back to sony logo..and then disappears and green lights again this happens while connected in laptop. need help guy.. cant use flashmode ... is this break already?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dionisis1976:
Maybe you phone is not actually off causing flashtool not to work properly. Take the back off and press down the reset button for 10 seconds.

Then I would load up flashtool again using the Kernel in the above link, then press flash. Hold in the volume down button and then plug in the USB lead.

If that does not work I would try flashing a full stock .254 FTW file using flashtool and go through the rooting and CWN process again, then flash the Black version.

I';m on LBL and the amount of flashing I have done and had no problems, I doubt it is broke.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Revontheus:
How come you guys are experiencing alot of problems? just rename the zip file to existenzblack then it would work :)

You can't decompile and recompile my framework-res.apk because I am using my own way to mod it.

Force close

I use LastPass app.

In last update a nice feature appears:

Auto Fill into Apps

To use it, we need to enable Last Pass service in Settings / Accessibility.

The problem is here...

Each time I check it, settings force close: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

Then I try to:

- enable TalkBack in same Settings / Accessibility: FC

- uninstall Last Pass and test TalkBack: FC

- uninstall TalkBack and test LastPass: FC

- Flash whole eXistenZ rom (data, cache, dalvik wipped), LastPass not installed and still Settings has stopped when TalBack enabled.

With this last test, I think problem comes from rom...

Same for you?

A solution exists?

Bootloop after enabling ART

Sorry I posted into wrong section, I own an xperia Z.

I enabled ART and now I have bootloop.

I did a TWRP backup before enabling it but apparently the VOL-DOWN key for entering into twrp (nut dual recovery) does not work.

The phone is in continuous loop and cannot be switched off.

I tried connecting the phone to pc (Linux) and run adb reboot recovery while the sony animation is running but I got the message that he phone is not enabled to do that, but I'm quite sure that the "USB debug" option is enabled, probably the system enables it at a further step but enter into bootloop before.

Any hints on how to enter into recovery in this situation ?

I don't understand well. Install the apk and then what?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Killawave:
Not install the apk...replace the apk.

You go in the tree file of system/app, find the apk and replace it. Then you make sure the security is well configured.

Then, it should work fine. :)

I have just done the update right now. Install ROM then fix SU and update the kernel. No problem. Booting normally.

Will say if I face any problem.
