That really is a pity, as I cannot seem to manage it manually.

I use es file explorer, and when I set system to rw it simply pops back to ro.

What might be the cause of that?

I got normal root permissions everywhere but I cannot seem to write to /system...

I was having some lag troubles with fauxclock

Idk why it was causing it but since ive stopped using fauxclock my phone has skyrocketed in speed

I recomend use of Kernel Adiutor or older fauxclock versions
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
2.0 is up, I havent tested it yet however im running the raw rom so we know the rom its self works, flashing idk about

If someone would kindly test for me that would be wonderful, currently i havent had time my self

When i find a good few mins ill update post 2 and 1 as well as test unless someone else had have done such already.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Baaallallalla ill fix it later

Ill add it in post 2 later today

I should have some time later
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Quisland:
You can try to flash it via CWM;)

Spotify FC on 2.0 :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
I havent touched anything to apps api so idk whats up honnestly
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Borz93:
Correction: The .zip of v 2.0 isnt corrupt, I corrupt the file doing a transfer (LAN) pc to Z2.

I am now testing the rom, thank you and sorry.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
2.2 is up

Changes and download in 2nd post

You may notice the UI isnt as smooth but it should be just as responsive
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cire27rn:
V2.2 is awesome coming from a fresh install. cheers
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Can I update from 1.4 to 2.2 at once, or do I need to do a fresh install ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
You can just flash 2.2

As said any files that are + 200mb are entire roms
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Iekozz:
Hey, I just downloaded and installed this rom, works great! But I do have one problem.

I have a locked bootloader and tried to reflash recovery, but it was not successful. Do I need to flash a file via flashtool? If so, any settings I need to tick? The other thing I noticed is no soundmod anymore, but I am assuming I can just reinstall this one? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2758189

Edit: I just reflashed it with Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.1-RELEASE.installer.zip from the site, and cannot boot to recovery :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
After a difficult download (only after the 5th time it didn't say error in the end) I finally achieved to get the new version.

I installed it (and su + recovery), wipe cache and dalvik, and all works.

When I reboot, sometimes home fc but only noticable from the toast message.

I still have no write access to my internal sd, for example when using es file explorer or when installing xposed framework.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
To get full root access, flash "Sony ric killer". You can find it in a thread in general forum.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Im wondering

Is this rom still staying fast after months of use because ive been using stock for a while and that seems to have slowed down a tiny bit

Im wondering if it will happen with my ROM

In short: is this rom as fast now as it was when you installed it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
I could be wrong, but I think all roms slow down over time. I've noticed this on every device I've owned. Haven't tried your Rom yet though.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
I havent quite had it on Xperia S or Nexus 5

It seems that Z2 stock rom does it regardless of any modding

But i ment more than normal It seems
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
I think i am gonna have to give your ROM a try(downloading already :)}..seems like its the only rom with camera enhancement in the changelog as it is my major concern with my z2 right now,low light performance is very terrible,even well lid has to be manipulated through the manual settings. Anyways does it support D6502?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Check the google drive folder, there is a flashable patch for D6502
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
Ok thanks. The v2 is based on 4.4.4,right?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Yes :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mokiwipeout:
Really sorry but i Have to ask this question : does anyone have an antutu benchmark on locked bootloader with this rom?

I just want to see whether your tweaks have an effect on 2d and 3d graphics, since im using this device as a gaming console...

Again really sorry if im offensive or anything, i do not want to be mean towards anyone
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
I dont have any screenshots but benchmark scores are bad anyways

I typically get 32K but i get much better gaming performance on my rom than i do on stock rom or any other rom used for that matter

Higher and more stable framerate as well as minimal IO lag and minimal sync lag vs stock
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] earthtk:
Why do you use stock rom when you have your own rom!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
I wanted to run stock for a while then switch to my rom to see how much of a difference there is.

My freind says it makes Z2 from aospish fast to beyond aosp.

Which i find hard to believe

However Im finding stock somewhat sluggish compared to what im use to.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] earthtk:
Wow. That's hard for me to believe too. I find asop kinda snappy compared to stock.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Since I've installed it it has got smoother.

Depending on the rom, it always takes some time to settle.

With this rom it seems to take quite long, it keeps getting better.

I use the "lower system speed" stamina option a lot now, because all remains reasonably smooth when using it on your rom.

The rom was released not too long ago so I cannot judge for "months of use" yet.

If I notice any slowdown I will report here ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
Any plan to add aroma in the feature?

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Wait!! No any file manager in the ROM? Seriously?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
1. No need for aroma + its an anoying mess

2. Pick your own file manager

:D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
Including eXistenZ 4.5?(sorry if that was noobish:D)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
existenz is heavily modded, the extend of modifacations may require you to wipe data
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
I have installed the ROM and will be testing it out for the next couple of days,it looks promising.

But IMO,the Rom is heavily Heavily debloated,You could have included some basic stuff like a file manager(to acess files for the first,perhaps WiFi not connected.) Some Mods like xposed will be appreciated also.

I dont think Aroma is a mess,it gives users options to choose,like in my case i always prefer small icons to large icons and other stuff.

NIce ROM anyways
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
If a file explorer as system app has write access to /system, it would be a welcome addition.

If not, please don't add any apps, I prefer putting my own choices indeed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
As said ill leave it upto users

Well for me its a mess and i dont even have 30 mins to bother with it

If somone wants to make an aroma version with a couple aditional small mods, go for it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
GOOD NEWS!!¡!

working on V3 hehehe :D

check 2nd post for planned changes
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Why V3 :eek: ;)

Lollipop is ? coming
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Because i was messing around and i managed to get a Z3 rom on my phone so i then had to make a update for Envi-Rom

Anyways, What if some of the users dislike Lollipop and stay on KK

I thought id update the KK Version one final time

I planned V2.2 would be last KK version for now heh.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Good news and bad news

Good news is the rom is uploaded

http://host-my-rom.eu/~envious/ROM/Z2/Envi-Rom-V3.zip

Bad news is that the rom has some FCs here and there, ive found updating apps or installing newer versions null these FCs

It seems to have amazing battery and better performance from my testing
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
ER-V2.3.zip

http://host-my-rom.eu/~envious/ROM/Z2/ER-V2.3.zip

Update 2.3 is avaliable, i made a smaller update for V2 since V3 is not good enough, if you can bother to deal with its issues then go for it but for now V2.3 is latest and recomended.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Could you explain what does force bionz does?

Isn't bionz a chip that processes cmos data ?

If Sony put the chip in, why isn't it activated already ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Bionz which normaly works on LB only ive forced it to work with UB

Bionz makes pictures after taking them, sharper, more vibrant and less noisy
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Ah I understand. I'm still on lb so it should already work for me. Thanks for the clear reply :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Will try version 3 and see. As usual I like fcs ;)

Thanks for the update
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] lywyn:
Arghh!

Flashed 2.2 and 2.3 then SuperSU and finally Recovery.... No root access anymore, so trying to do SONY RIC KILLER as that fixed it last time. I cannot enable usb debugging. As soon as I do my phone switches back to MTP or MSC mode thus making it disabled again.

I've used rooted android phones for years but these f------ sony's are just plain annoying!

Any idea why I cannot enable USB debugging? Also what's the best way to flash SuperSU? I do it but when I restart the recover asks if I want to fix SU as it's lots it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Via recovery, mount /system and then install Su zip, that should work well as it did for me :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
i cant help you all to much with root and a locked bootloader since i have little experiance with the oddball problems

i have a unlocked bootloader (personaly i dont care about Supervivid and x-reality)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Borz93:
2.3 version link is wrong, delete the final section after .zip, is a html tag
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mokiwipeout:
So basically.

Since we force bionz to work, if i unlock the bl do i lose anything important apart from supervivid and xreality?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Warranty maybe
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mokiwipeout:
I mean anything that affects the phone directly
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
will do

everything breaks as normal including bionz but there is a test mod that tells it to work

(enjoy better photos realy)

if only :/

just bionz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] YoungFiire:
Hey Envious,

First I want to thank you for this bugfree Rom that you made.

I'm following you since the Envi Rom on the Xperia S which was amazing.

But I have one question, could you change the colour of the volume Design to white? It would be nice if you could. I'm very happy with this Rom and I hope that if the lollipop update arrives that you'll make a Envi 5.0 Edition.

Thank you for your hard work! :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Hmm ill try but im no good with app modding

If a mod shows up ill probably post it somewhere :D

I do like to give the users as much freedom as possible hence why i leave the UI untouched and the insides improved
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
so news flash!!!

If lollipop update comes any time soon this rom will not be updated till i have my phone fixed.

now i dont have money for my phone nor do i have a spare phone so ill be somewhat less active in xda for a while and as usual ill be a bit more busy with college work.

it may be quite a while before i get my phone back and this rom updated however i may have a freind to help but that requires alot of testing and im not a fan of waiting, im more of a hands on

"do it my self"

kinda guy so there is that.

(before you asked i used someone elses phone to take these pictures)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Omg! An elephant sat on it?!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] earthtk:
Get a tempered glass screen protector after its back!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
its more like it dropped on something it would break anyways.

it dropped on a edge of a concrete slab so it would have broken anyways heh.

:/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] earthtk:
Well mine dropped before on a concrete too(not the edge though) . Lucky I had my tempered glass at the back. So it broke instead of my back glass.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Dropped it on the tile floor.

Tempered glass broke, phone has nothing.

It is a good investment indeed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
i may look into it

ANYWAYS! had a freind help pay for it, its been sent for repairs.

(my phone btw)

should be back in a few weeks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Thank you, friend!

You are helping all of us envi+ fans
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] apelamod:
1. Download the Rom

2. Put the Rom on your Xperia Z2

3. install the Rom

4. Wipe Dalvik

5. Wipe Cache

- Wipe data if your coming from anything non-stock based

- ReFlash Nut's Dual Recovery if your on Locked bootloader

6. Enjoy

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] miguelito18:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] crying:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mik101:
Does anyone have a copy of the v3.3 zip they could reupload? I accidentally deleted it off my SD card and as a previous poster noted, it's no longer available on the server.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] almizilero:
That would be great, would like to try it, too.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
so turns out i have absolutly no idea where 2.3 is so im going to have to remake it and as for 3.0+ ill just forget it since it was a experimental update,

V3 EXP was based on the Z3 .79 firmware and it sort of Fcced here and there quite alot.

in other news i should have a Z2 back soon, and for now im borrowing my college teachers S3 :/ which i seriously dislike because of how impossible it seems to be to root. :/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Croize:
YOO, so im back after a long break from rooting & modding... So i am completly stock as we speak.. how do i install the rom now ? Cause last time i had no sucess :P Detailed desciption please so it doesnt mess up again ! >_> Thank you
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
make sure your on 4.4.4 and make sure you have recovery access

flash this rom, any avaliable update patches, flash root and busybox

and recovery if your using LB

:D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djclark25:
Ive been running Revolution Remix and despite it being 95% stable there are some Lolipop issues that just cause me a headache and updates have had errors and now I just want to go back to nice running happy stock and have a phone I dont have to reboot every 5 hours because of runaway processes and wakelocks!!

Can I just do a full wipe in recovery and flash this ROM straight away or do I need to go down the route of flashing stock 4.4.4 first?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mamenvn:
Plz update version to android L 5.0.2
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rockzanei:
lol i knew someone will come up with something like that :cyclops:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
its boring me so damn much

:/

this rom will be updated so long as Z2 is my main phone
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djclark25:
Will the 2.3 update be uploaded again soon? Came to this ROM as wanted stability and speed, which I have, but would like 2.3 :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
ill have to remake it, i may just dump 2.3 and go straight to remaking V3 as the new lollipop version
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Red-code:
could you add forced enabled bionz to z1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
I will have a look on my pc later on, I might still have 2,3 somewhere.

I will share it to the op so that he can distribute it himself.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Knutselmaaster:
Is it a 10mb file called R3 pre-update?? [MENTION=4895687]Envious_Data[/MENTION]

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rockzanei:

Hi again.

I am on V0.8b iirc..

and my kernel: 3.4.0-perf-gd4d661a

build: 23.0.1.A.0.167

So do i just install v2.2 and then apply v2.3 update?

Is the speaker amplification on v2.2? or do i have to install the mod myself.

edit: i am assuming you love to listen to music so is there any mod for Z2 audio that you recommend or do you think stock is good at itself?

thanks again for your work and dedication.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
im about to get working on V4

ive been having so many issues with lollipop its far from funny at this point.

i am tempted to give up simply because Lolipop is fast enough and i cant remember how to compile half the things i did for this rom :/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Borz93:
Thanks for your work. Wait your rom patiently!

Enviado desde mi D6503 usando xda Forum

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
So im going to wait for 5.1 before i update this rom and in other news ive got another faulty Z2

6 and counting -_- this is growing quite anoying
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Borz93:
Any news for 5.1 by Sony??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Nope, sony is slow and 5.1 contains mass amounts of changes so expect it in another half a year

Where you buyed the phones [MENTION=4895687]Envious_Data[/MENTION]

3rd hand/half dead or broken ?

Very strange you buy phones and it falls almost apart.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Brand new

Yet my xperia S is 100% fine :/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Wow then is it very weird indeed, are they messing around there with the Z2's ?

I have never 1 single problem what you mentioned about it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Not sure , all of them are from faulty batches it seems,

My current z2 which is to be replaced again is 14w43
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mrsatan:
I went through 3 xperia s phones for yellow screen. I had two xperia sp phones. One zl which was the best built phone ever. And now a z2. No problems with the z2 and its been under the sink tap. Two of my friends have them with no issues either. You must be getting bad batches.

It seems so though the Z2 that lasted a year lasted through everything, went swimming at a pool, at a beach

Went in the rain, shower

I even fell over once and threw it at the ground and it bounced.

Yet it got destroyed when it fell on a concrete floor :/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cocagenda2:
i had the original Z and now the Z2 without any issues...also xperia Z is still in use by my brother and its over 2 years old now...the Z 2 is 14w23 btw. :cool:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Going to be updating or trying to soon

May have to remove some more features ;-;

It seems with Xperia S per version added features but with Z2 i kept removing features.

Im going to try making as fast as before.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Luc.Nex:
Thats really great missed that rom bro..really loved the imaging/camera tweaks you implemented.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mokiwipeout:
If i use your rom which is based on .167, and then i flash androplus's kernel (assuming my bootloader is unlocked of course), which is based on .3.12, will the phone still work or am i just going to get bootloops?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
167 and 3.12 you should be fine

The rom is based on the last KK versions.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tornido067:
sorry but this rom is based on 4.4.2 ?its not lollipop rit ?are you going to update if its not based on lollipop ?am asking because a lot of ppl are telling me to flash this rom just wana know if its lolli based or its going to be in near future ? :) thx if you answer or not .

sorry for any inconvenience.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
its 4.4.4 based and ive yet to update it to lolipop
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tornido067:
Thànks for your ànswer ! And wish you a good luck mate.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Version 3 - Lolipop

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7kXPU2Y8c5xeFlIYVJBSDdOSEk/edit?usp=docslist_api

based on .28

same features as last version :)

im not sure if it flashes or not but the base mod-rom works

if it doesnt flash(errors) then copy the recovery log for me

im using multirom so i couldent get a recovery log.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tornido067:
can you screenshots ?or tell what are those features ?i can test
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mokiwipeout:
So this is a lollipop release right?

And it has all of the tweaks found in the kitkat version?

By the way how is battery life? Is it still worse than kitkat?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Envious_Data:
Im not quite sure about battery

It seems to be better than Kk, i often hit 4hours SOT, here with LP im kicking 5-7hours

Same as KK yes tweaks/mods wise

And yes its lolipop based

If it fails to flash, copy log to sd and upload it for me to see

:)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Vogie:
Dose Bionz and X-Reality works well ?

and what about battery life? (Compare to stock)
