Changelog and Todo

Changelog:

V1.0 Initial Release

Todo:

Minimize the flashable zip file size

Use my own code for flashing process instead of using PRF

Restore removed apps using a installer
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mikey94:
Was waiting for this :D

Is Kernel and bandbase included? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] deepu28792:
i cant find any difference in size its showing 1.28gb
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dkionline:
[MENTION=2986085]kamalmawa[/MENTION]

Rather waiting for deodexed Version.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 1asbak1:
Dya
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kamalmawa:
Yes All included..

That because system.ext4 is an image, even though I removed those apps image size is still the same. I just need to find a s different way to flash the system files instead of using an image so the flashable zip will be samller in size. It's on my to do list

I ran into some issues after deodexing framework. Will give it another go later
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dkionline:
[MENTION=2986085]kamalmawa[/MENTION], yea testing too, but bootloop.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kamalmawa:
Which ROM you came from?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mikey94:
i think he meant he gets a boot loop after deodexing? :D

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Came from cm12.1, did a factory reset and flashed it via TWRP. Working very fine :)) Bootet very fast for the first time :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dkionline:
i mean with deodexed base, sorry.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kamalmawa:
I had so many force closes and it was impossible to use..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mikey94:
You could try to ask [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

He posted, that the managed it to get his rom 100% deodexed without Google Play FCs. (Rom isn't released yet)

I think It doesn't hurt to ask. :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MrTheenD:
Can I get the flashable script only without needing to download the whole package?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Ambor:
Thanks

Realy Cool:cool:

You must frequently share such cool things:):):):)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Well i can remember that he said, use google to search the deodex tool, there is one for LP for Xperia and that one works ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zadusimple:
A big thanks to the OP for his work !

Can I flash it on D6502 (India) ? I mean can I flash an India Modem for my D6502 to work with this rom? Also, once i flash the ROM , can use recovery to flash other stuff (is the recovery fully working). Kindly advise.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
This rom is for D650 >>> 3 not for D6502
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] KrisPerry:
OK so I unpacked the system.ext4 image from your zip and was able to deodex all the system apps. How do I repack it for flashing?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kamalmawa:
yeah If you flashed D6502 modem after flashing this, it will work. Yes you can use recovery to flash the D6502 baseband.. you can download it from here https://mega.co.nz/#!1pkG0aIS!r_v7ZBsXrEKfesq0qhiCyDeJfaciBs1XYg0BGO1c_e0

Don't know which version of firmware [MENTION=3025837]adyscorpius[/MENTION] extracted this. But I will extract the latest D6502 modem as soo as i'm back from my holiday..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] KrisPerry:
OK so I've managed to repack it but when I try to flash in Cwm I receive a bad zip error. Do I need to resign the zip and if so how?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hai_Duong:
I cant choose on lockscreen "NONE"... i tried activate Guast acc and remove it still no option...

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Ambor:
You have maybe 23.4.A.0.546 ?:D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kamalmawa:
I will make Deodexed debloated 23.4.A.0.546 in couple of days.. Been busy with work as I'm working 7 days a week at the moment.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Ambor:
Thanks:)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jmwreck:
Hi, can I use/install this if I am coming from 23.4.A.0.54? I find the ROM on the link can drain my battery faster. So I was thinking of trying another Stock ROM.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jining:
I was trying to do a video call with google hangouts over my wifi and it is extremely bad quality. When I take video with the camera it looks very good so I don't think its a hardware issue. I am assuming it has something to do with the video being too high quality and it being compressed? Is there a fix for this?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
Yes use your 4G network or upgrade your WiFi speed....... and make sure your entire household isn't on the router, also perhaps the other person has a lower quality device so google matches bit rates so quality is equitable

When I am using twrp recovery, it finally shows no command and then reboots into homescreen, just before the very last step of installing Super SU from SD Card. What should I do ? Go with CWM Recovery ? I will be grateful if you post with download links too !

I have already tried out many methods given on XDA. My friends have rooted their Moto E's except me. Where do I fail? Is 4.4.4 android version coming in my way to root my phone ? I have unlocked the bootloader already.

I have a Garmin eTrex Legend sat. receiver which I previously used in my car with a harness that provided power from the cigarette lighter to my XDAll and connection, but not power, to the receiver. Have now upgraded to an XDA Exec which has a mini USB connection. Can't seem to find a suitable harness to connect the Exec in a similar fashion. Anyone got any ideas?
[XDA Assist] chartmaster:
Hi,

I need assistance. I have installed (or al least tried) to install superSu on my Redmi 1s. During the install the phone went dark and seems to be in a loop trying to boot.

I cannot stop this or get into the phone at all.

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
[XDA Assist] StrangerWeather:
Hello! Can you get into recovery or bootloader? If so, in recovery, wipe and reinstall your rom. If you don't have recovery but you have your bootloader, you can reflash your recovery, or if needed your factory firmware. You will find lots of information on how to do that here: http://xdaforums.com/redmi-1s/general/index-redmi-1s-roms-kernels-mods-t2909595 You can also ask questions in this dedicated forum here: http://xdaforums.com/redmi-1s/help

Good luck!
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwjames83:
I switched from Dalvik to ART on my Verizon Edge, and while I haven't noticed much of a difference, the thing that threw me off was that it was updating over 400 applications! I have installed MAYBE 20 app,s 30 would be really pushing it.

I've grown to hate this phone on Verizon because of no ability to root it. Regardless, does anyone thing 400+ app are a bit excessive or is this normal for Verizon or Samsung phones?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbit12:
That number includes all the system apps as well, most of which wotk only in the background. All of them have to be optimized.

I don't know about Version specifically, but 300 plus is normal on an unlocked phone
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justjayhere:
Benchmark score when way down when I switched to ART.. So I'm back to Dalvik
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] droidoc:
Hi all,

Has anyone noticed this? When you use the camera app on the Mi 4i in Performance mode, it runs a lot slower than it runs on Balanced mode. I have noticed that everything else works much faster and smoother in the Performance mode, but only the camera app lags. If you switch to Balanced mode, you will notice that the camera works perfectly without lags. It should be the other way round!

Just FYI, when I say 'LAG', I am referring to the time required to switch from rear camera to front camera, switching to gallery, HDR shooting etc.

Can anyone else check and let me know if this is happening?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] galaxyYoung30:
yes, you are correct. There is lag when switching front to back camera and turning HDR on and off during performance mode. But, this seems like a Software issue (the camera is very sluggish anyways), so there might a future update from Xiaomi for a fix. Remember, MIUI 6 is still very new and still has some issues (RAM management, etc.), so I wouldnt worry too much about it.

cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] jemzbenz:
hi, im having problems deleting a folder in my internal storage.

my phone is Lenovo A328, stock rom, rooted, and running on kitkat.

i didn't do any tweaking on my phone besides rooting.

i noticed while browsing my internal folders, in Android/data there is a folder named "com.com2us.soulcollector.normal...." 16.74mb in size.

it's from the game soul seeker, and i've already uninstalled the game, i tried to delete it but cant be deleted.

here's what ive done so far:

-i used other browsing apps like root explorer and root browser

-renamed the folder and delete, but can't

-moved the folder to other location in internal (cant move to external), still cant delete

-downloaded the game again and made sure the folder name and location is the same. then uninstalled the game, still the folder is there.

-edit the permission but cant.

-reboot device

-clean junk files using clean master

i dont want to restore or reformat my device. its a pain trying to download and reinstall again all my apps.

please help!
[General Questions and Answers] GokulNC:
Try remounting /data as RW.

So, if you're using ES Explorer, open menu, inside Tools, click on Root Explorer.

Then click Mount R/W. And mount all partitions as RW.

This may help
[General Questions and Answers] jemzbenz:
tried it but still no good. im really not liking this kitkat.

I received it to and I was rooted with non knox trip, but root is gone. I have not tried new root yet. I will let rom settle and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Mig1234:
Better calls

Build number was updated. Most of us were having modem issues such as dropping calls so Samsung gave us this update to take care of that. It was a software problem. I got the same update. Thanks. It was 128MB.

I'm shocked Sprint was the first to push the update. I'm on tmobile and flashed the international update and didn't notice any difference, but I haven't really had any issues to begin with.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yotvb531:
Earlier today I had a crash of the radios and shortly thereafter android. I had to reboot to get back up and running with cell service. I had just installed the update a few hours previous. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

Anyone know if the update was software only or if it included an updated radio? I forgot to check versions. I assume only android software.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Haven't found a change log anywhere....BUT my battery drain isn't nearly as bad before the update ftw

I've always had pretty good battery life, but my data reception at work was terrible before the update. Not sure if an update radio was included since i didnt check before, but my signal has become much much better since the update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boardindude:
I get this message whenever I try to download the update? How are the rest of you able to download the update when your rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] datajosh:
You would need to reflash the stock OCF TAR to be able to take the OTA but it would probably be better to wait for either the OE2 TAR or a flashable OE2 ZIP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazymook:
Battery seemed better but today on lunch (was gone 1.5 hours), battery burned off 10% literally doing nothing. GSAM and built in battery stats didnt reveal anything wrong.

Just wiped cache so we'll see if that does anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
DL this stock OCF tar, flash thru odin, then take the update :)

**BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST BC YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!!**
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cyberone3:
I used smart switch to back up phone

then odin tar

then took upgrade

just waiting to for someone get root working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jobryan26:
I have ping pong installed on my phone so I put it into download mode and attempted to install the stock tar file. I keep getting an error

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

And the phone is stuck in download mode. Holding the power button won't do anything either. I would love to pull the battery but...

Ideas?

Edit: Nevermind. It seems you have to hold the vol- + pwr to get it to reboot.

Edit #2: Bootlooping from the Sprint Spark screen. Ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DruoGaby:
i think we are about to see some more updates...im gonna stay stock for a bit..i saw an article today talkin about the edge getting an update and s6 not far behind
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
I believe the S6 Edge got OE2 as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DruoGaby:
i see att got an updae as well too...and being that there was that finger print one in europe i guess we're not far behind..ill be hangin on stock...does anybody know if ping pong root alters ur official status?..i was rooted the other way...screw knox..lol..but for updates sake...if it doesnt id slap it on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
PPR does impact your ability to receive OTA's bc the system is modified.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DruoGaby:
okay thanks for clearing that up..doesnt seem like i need root anyway at this time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boo4bie:
Try holding power+home+vol. down for about 10 secs. It's worth a try
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1lazysheep:
just got this and fixes the issue with the flash staying on all the time. hopefully battery life will improve. haven't used it enough to notice anything else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] hayabusa1300cc:
Actually you won't lose a thing except root. This doesn't wipe data. I know because I've used it twice.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Yes I know.. how can we help though?? Is there anything we can do or nah?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
I don't know if it's just me but I got worst cell reception in my area, including my brother's as well after the update and it is impacting the battery life. The connection is so unstable that the phone seems to put effort to stabilize it resulting in consumption of more power. My sister's iphone6 on the other hand is not with this issue. This is frustrating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] hayabusa1300cc:
I haven't had issues with it. I had bad battery life, and finger print issues out of the box. A factory reset cured me. Since restoring twice with his tool, it has not affected it. Can you try and restore again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
You know that is the most annoying thing to do :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] hayabusa1300cc:
If you're on ocf it's not that bad. Takes a couple minutes, nothing is reset, easy to root again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cyberone3:
yeah same here on battery life can't tell on reception yet so it may be related
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jobryan26:
I found my problem was that I wasn't leaving the USB cable plugged in until after the phone had completely booted up. :silly: Unplugging it immediately after getting the ok from Odin was causing it to get stuck at the Sprint Spark screen.

Has anyone successfully rooted OE2 yet??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Mistar Muffin:
I am on OE2 with root. This is what I did:

I could not OTA due to "unauthorized modifications" so I used Odin v3.10.6 to flash G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5. It did not wipe my data. I was then able to perform the OTA. After that was complete I rebooted back into download mode and flashed the original CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t.tar. Yes, this is for the T-Mo S6 but it worked on OCF and still does on OE2. The only side effect is that it replaces your stock recovery with the one from the T-Mo S6. I didn't care because I immediately used TWRP Manager to flash that for my recovery.

EDIT: This will of course trip Knox. If you're already tripped like me it doesn't really matter.
