[Sony Xperia ZR] manilenio:
Hello,

I'm sure my situation isn't unique, but due to the volume of posts it's very hard for me to find the specific steps I need to follow so I hope somebody knowledgeable can help me.

I have a C5503 with 4.3 with build number 10.4.1.B.0.101. I rooted it with towelroot and I have SuperSU installed. I've uninstalled some Sony and Google apps (chrome, magazine, etc.) that I considered inconsequential but my unit has not encountered any problems so far. The update app tells me I have an OTA update available - 10.5.A.0.230, and I've ignored it forever. However, the Sony PC Companion program in my laptop tells me I have the 10.5.1.A.0.283 update available instead.

Now, the reason I'm writing this is because I've suddenly decided that I want to update my phone to 4.4.4 but I don't want to lose root. So I tried to download the OTA update and tried to install it after. I got an error that said it couldn't install the update and to try again. I could just update my phone via the PC companion software, but going that route would remove root and wipe my phone data and apps, which I don't want to happen.

What is the best course for me? Thank you.

If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] RaviTeja Adibhatla:
MIUI is one of the best ROM's fo Canvas 4

I've personally tried MIUI ROM on my canvas 4 and it works perfectly fine.. I've been using it for more than 3 months and still loving it. But, MIUI 6 seems pretty cool compared to this. However, this is also good for those who never used MIUI. I've also written complete process to install MIUI custom ROM on canvas 4 (links work perfectly fine). I found broken links on many sites and sometimes, links don't work for few.. So, I've given perfect links that can be used to download this Custom ROM. Check out interestwaypoint site for complete process and links to download the Custom ROM :)

Happy to get into XDA members :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DR0IDMANIAC:
Ktoonsez just reporting that I flashed the new version and it hangs in the sprint spark screen. Ps I deleted the KTweaker folder after flashing the kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Works on all my testers, sounds like u might have a bad download or running a ROM that needs its own kernel maybe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DR0IDMANIAC:
Ok, will try again, thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jordan.elliott:
Works fine for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DR0IDMANIAC:
Working great now, was a bad download I think
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jordan.elliott:
Anyone wanna try my settings. Getting great battety so far.

http://1drv.ms/1bfWVoQ

Copy to /ktweaker/profiles. Make sure it is stable before checking the set on boot option. I everyone has a different stock voltage table, so whats stable for me might not be for you.

Not sure if you guys have messed around in the UI Settings screen in KTweaker, but here is a excerpt from my S5 change log when I implemented the UI Settings theme settings and other little goodies. See below of explanations of everything:

8. New "Utilities" item: SELinux changer

9. New "Utilities" item: Get Phone Information

10. New "UI Settings" item: Startup Drawer Status is used to set whether the drawer is open or closed when starting the app

11. New "UI Settings" item: Startup Screen is used to set which screen starts up when opening the app. You can pick from the list of screen available for startup or specify "Remembeer last screen" to make it go back to the last screen you were on.

12. New "UI Settings" item: Main Background is used to set the color or an image to be used as the background in the main part of the screen. I have predefined ones and you can also pick from a image that you place in the /KTweaker/ThemeManager/Backgrounds folder

13. New "UI Settings" item: Main Fore Color is used to set the color to be used as the fore color in the main part of the screen.

14. New "UI Settings" item: Drawer Background is used to set the color or an image to be used in the Drawer part of the screen. I have predefined ones and you can also pick from a image that you place in the /KTweaker/ThemeManager/Backgrounds folder

15. New "UI Settings" item: Drawer Fore Color is used to set the color to be used as the fore color in the Drawer part of the screen.

16. New "UI Settings" item: Main Screen: Show Icons is used to specify if you want the icons to show in the main part of the screen.

17. New "UI Settings" item: Drawer: Show Icons is used to specify if you want the icons to show in the Drawer part of the screen.

18. New Menu item: "Reset Color Scheme" is used to reset everything back to stock if you mess up a setting for back/fore color items.

19. All icons are now customizable too!!!! So if you dont like my icons all you have to do is download http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/sgs5/StockKTweakerIcons.zip, extract them onto your PC so you can see the names of the icons for the different items, replace the ones you want with yours, then place them in the KTweaker/ThemeManager/Icons/ folder on your phone, DONE :)!!!!

20. As a result of all these options in UI Settings this give you the aility to share your Theme if you want by zipping up the KTweaker/ThemeManager/Settings/, KTweaker/ThemeManager/Backgrounds/, KTweaker/ThemeManager/Icons/ folders

See attached picture of what one of the guys that uses my S5 kernel did for his background
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wvebert:
I have not been able to flash 4/19 or 5/02.

I deleted the Ktweaker folder.

When in TWRP, I flash, and TWRP reboots. Then when rebooting the system, it optimized apps, and still shows 4/19 kernel.

Anybody else having this happen, or any ideas how to get past this?

Edit: I've also tried several downloads of each.

I see that you've released an update to your amazing kernel in the other thread. Just wondering if you're going to continue to bless the red headed Sprint children with your blessing?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Not sure if I will continue, if you look at the last release, there were exactly 2 thanks total so seems to be zero interest over here (well I guess 2 interest, lol)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
Well that is real unfortunate. Any way you can track the number of downloads? I think a lot of people are just ignorant to the fact that they should use the thanks button along with a verbal thanks.

I for one hope you continue to support us because we (2 people) really appreciate what you're doing for us over there. Your kernel is rock solid bro!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Thanks man. There was 1300 downloads on last release, 81 were Sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
Kt ill download your kernels 1000 times to keep you with us!

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

BTW I fixed screen mirroring by adding "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" to build.prop if anyone cares to know :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Lol.

Ya that is the fix, has needed that patch in the ROM since the S3, totally forgot about that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
Found answer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
So i would like to report 0 random reboots. Running smooth no issues. Also kt is there a way to adjust the proximity sensor while on a call? I called 911 with my cheek yesterday and want to krank it up a little.

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Reason i ask is i could have sworn ive adjusted that before in ktweaker
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
Would anyone be willing to set up a battery saving profile? I don't know much about kernels and with this phone having 8 cores it's even more confusing. If anyone could it would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Sorry no that is controlled by rom dialer app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] FlowingAway:
I'm assuming the kernel plays nice with the OE2 update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Change Log 05.18.2015

1. Add some more protection on hotplugging for phones that are not fully shutting down screen and still register touch while screen is off, causing reboots.

2. Making unified version now, so pay attention that the file name is now changed. There is still seperate version for the S6 and S6 Edge, and also Sprint needs a special due to radical differences from the GSM versions.

3. KTweaker: Added new 3 options prompt when restoring a profile. Instead of a yes/no question to apply, it now gives you the 3 options of: "Apply restored profile with its voltage", "Apply restored profile with my voltage", "Do not apply it"

Just a short change log since I am out of town for work this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] hendrix17:
Really appreciate your work for our device!! going to test the new build shortly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] LuigiBull23:
A newly revived profile called "KTGaming v1" has just been added to the Ktweaker Shop!! Be sure to let us know how it runs for all you HARDCORE gamers!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
How exactly do you update the ktweaker app. I've tried to redownload and flash the kernel and it didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
It gets flashed with the kernel. Do u have your system encrypted or something so twrp can't handle it? No reason it shouldn't put it in the /system/app folder unless twrp is not working right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wvebert:
I've had the same problem for the last 3 releases. I deleted it after the first and have never had it reinstall. Even reflashing the first release, the ktweaker is not installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wvebert:
Figured this out. Not sure why I didnt think of it before.

Use a reader or unzip, the kernel pkg. Then find the app folder, and click the Ktweaker app from there. Follow the normal pkg install and my is working like it should.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Thats kind of a band aid though, you should really figure out whats wrong with your system and/or TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
The host for the kernel downloads is terrible. I've had many failed downloads on multiple platforms and connections.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Its got a 120 megabit connection. Something going on on your end.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
So I understand having higher cpu bins means its of higher quality and needs less voltage to run. So should I be pissed if my BIG is 5 and LITTLE is 7?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] LuigiBull23:
Yea... Your BIG is on the lower end, which requires much more voltage but AT LEAST your LITTLE CPU falls right in the middle of the ASV scale for this device. So there's SOME good news there for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
Haha thanks i feel better. Problem is im the type of guy who wants the best of the best. Finding out my bins was pretty much devastating. Kinda feel cheated. Ima do a lil research and see how much the loss is. If it just means less battery life i can get over it i guess :/ lol thanks for the info
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] LuigiBull23:
Because the BIG CPU requires more voltage it might have some affect on battery life but shouldn't be anything too drastic. The other downside to a low bin is it might not be able to OC as much if at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
If anything ill oc the little and keep big the same
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
How do I find out what cpu bin I have. I remember in the past using the terminal but I can't remember.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] monroe0328:
Ktweaker>get phone information>version information>asv info
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] apples2droids:
ktoonsez I thought I read somewhere on a post about fb being a little wonky. Was there a patch? Thanks for the development! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
No, just someone saying Crapbook is slow, and anybody that has used it know its a piece of crap :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
Does anyone know if this amazing kernel will work with our newest firmware, OE2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
My tester for Sprint said that root and TWRP dont even work on OE2 so that might be a bad idea going to OE2, maybe you'll get lucky though and those 2 things will actually work on your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
Hmm, not sure what he did or didn't do but I used odin to flash OE2 from Sammobile then used the T-Mobile root method for the previous firmware then flashed TWRP with no issues whatsoever. Guess I'll do a backup then flash the kernel and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Let me know what happens, TWRP went in just fine, but could not flash anything, always errors out, might have been issues with backup too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
Good news!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ktoonsez:
Awesome, here is latest test kernel, and just merged in OE2 ramdisk from stock kernel, let me know how it goes:

I'll jump in and ask a question. Are you guys flashing back to stock recovery after flashing this kernel zip in TWRP? I ask that assuming the modded recovery battery drain still exists.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Installing Via FlashFire

Wanted to say thanks to [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] once again for his great work. Used this on my Galaxy S3 for great battery life; nice to find it for the S6.

I am still playing around, but for anyone afraid of triggering a Know thing, my phone is rooted using Pingpong Root. I am not using TWRP; instead I flashed this using FlashFire. I still am still running stock build and recovery, but this flashed fine. I did have to extract the KTweaker APK and manually install that, but that took like two seconds with Root Browser.

A lot of detail as to how I installed, but people seem to have questions and I like to share.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Thoth33:
Has anyone tried flashing this after Xtrsolite 1.4? Does data still work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
I'm using debloated sac23 ROM and data works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] southernstyle:
KToonz, any chance you could help making this kernel work for S6E Roms for the S6? I used this on Sac's Rom but the fingerprint scanner wouldn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
Care to post a link to the ROM you're talking about?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
Its on the s6 edge android development forum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ReyPaez:
Does private mode works for you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Thoth33:
Private mode works with this kernel and sac23 rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ReyPaez:
I reflashed everything again, and still can't get it to work. [emoji53]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
So does everything work after flashing that ROM? Fingerprint sensor and all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jakeneal22:
No fingerprint scanner doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] adrianr514:
Sadly it also breaks WiFi Calling
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] adrianr514:
So since wifi calling stopped qorking with the kernel I factory data reset the phone from recovery. Once I went through the setup it still showed this kernel as the kernel and wifi calling and fingerprint were both working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Thoth33:
Fix for anything broken. flash at your own risk.

edit: I attempted the fix myself. I selected only private mode and fingerprint scanning. It hung on the install screen for fifteen minutes or ao before o switched it off. When I rebooted the device both private mode and fingerprint security worked.

Technology is wonky
