Hi,

I updated to the latest CM12.1 (2015.05.25 and 05.26 today) and the xposed framework (alpha4) stopped working. I installed alpha4 from recovery as always but it isn't working.

Anyone has this problem too?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztoldy:
I find a solution. With this version of Xposed it is working on the latest cm12.1

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] DACB;acl:
Hi All,

Could you help me to choose, which one to buy? Mate 2 or Mate 7.

Mate 2 in Belarus costs around 330$ :((

I can buy Mate 7 2/16 for 480$.

Both are non-official and without official warranty.

I don't play so much games, in general office use, navigation and internet browsing.

The main problem for me is insane price for Mate 2:(

Is it worth to buy Mate 2 today?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
The Mate 7 has better specs but it sounds like you don't need the extra power based on your usage. The Mate 2 should work very well for you. Can you get it somewhere that will allow you to return it within a short time frame if you don't like it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] DACB;acl:
Nope, I can't return if I don't like. I can return only if there is manufacture problem in phone and only after service center's diagnostic.:(

I need a phone for few years and I need to make sure that this is good investment, you know.

Maybe you can suggest another model with good battery and optimal performance(that can run games)? 5.5" or 6" and not expensive.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Do some research. The reason I bought the HAM2 is because it was the best priced, large screen I could find that could satisfy my needs. I do not game so I am not the best person to answer. The Mate 7 will game way better than the mate 2. The 7 will also be better in two years. The 2 will be outdated, spec wise. There are also a few new phones, including a rumored Nexus phone made by Huawei, that will be announced soon. You could wait for one of them. It seems that there are more and more larger screen phones being released.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] DACB;acl:
Thank you so much.:)

Will try to find the Mate 2 in stores to touch him and compare with Mate 7.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] p51d007:
If you have to have the latest & greatest, then the 7 would be a better option, but, if you "just use it", web browsing, text, email, phone

and don't care about which OS is on it, as long as the apps you use work, then the Mate2 is still one of the best "bang for the buck"

devices out there. I've had mine almost a year, still is a great device.

Here are some other big phones. I don't know how much they will cost though.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] thebs413:
My wife has the Xperia Z Ultra C6833 (Amazon-US), and I almost opted for it as well. My main issue with it is that it's so thin, one of the thinnest phones out there (especially at 6.44" diagonal), it flexes easily, even in her case. She hand carries it or in her purse. I would carry it in my pocket. It would be bent easily.

So I opted for the Ascend Mate 2 with a very tough case (Amazon-US) and it's worked out very well.

[General Topics] XDroidie626:
I am looking at a new contract and I am stuck between these two phones.

I want a phone with a decent camera and battery life, which I hear both of these phones have.

But which one is better, the 930 is £22 p/m and the Note 4 is £26 p/m

In a way I do like the Note 4s design more but I am a bit sick of Android these days with the problems that seem to plague the OS, I like Windows Phone OS but the Market place is also a bit crummy.

So which would you opt for?

Many Thanks
[General Topics] Parm09:
I would go with the Note 4. What good is a device if it doesn't have app support unless you only care about making calls or texting.
[General Topics] one-option:
Ok Note 4 is a good smartphone but Samsung is not updating it with latest fix, I have a Note 4 with Lollipop 5.0.1 & there is a lot of bugs I'm suffering from but Samsung always focusing on new smartphones & forget others.

with Lumia 930 you will be sure you will get system updates & for sure Windows 10 Mobile with a App market developing every day, and if there is a problem Microsoft will work to solve it & they will inform you about that.

I tried Galaxy S5 & Note 4 now Samsung send updates with bugs then they will keep ignoring you for months, then they will send you small updates with more bugs .............. they will not fix any thing.

Keep away from Samsung

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Papanik:
Maybe a noob question: Flashing your ROM means I will have my DRM functions restored?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zgomot:
I'm interested in this as well. Does flashing your rom restore BIONZ processing, making all the steps in the linked thread un-necesarry?

Also, anyway to check if BIONZ is working or not?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
I'm currently on a locked bootloader so I can't verify if it'll work without having to flash an ftf with TA beforehand. Best thing to do is try it yourself.

If x-reality is working, bionz is working.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
I flashed this ROM and my Z1 does not boot at all. When i press the power button, it vibrates once and that's all.

I flashed a stock rom, re-installed recovery and created a pre-rooted zip based on the SG customized firmware. The result was the same. Black screen, no sign of activity.

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong here?

My device is a C6903 and worked just fine with the pre-rooted .242

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kedirakevo:
facing problems...

After i do google and further debloat... dun even have app store to install my apps. I also unable to add my google account at Settings > Accounts...

Its great to have a RAM free rom... but what the point of having so much ram when there's nothing else u can do with the phone. I did try installing Google Play Store apk but it just simply crashes...

Please dun be offended as I still feel this ROM is a well done rom, I might just missed out something.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
The google debloat is only optional. If you don't flash it, you'll get to keep the play store.

I personally don't use the play store and download my apps from apkmirror or evozi
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kedirakevo:
Okay, can share more what does further debloat do? I can do that without google debloat right?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Further debloat removes some of the bloat that I forgot to remove from the main rom itself and also the setup wizards. So make sure to use it only after booting your device and going through the setup.

Yes.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Zerousen:
I've tried flashing this twice and have ended up softbricking twice. I think the issue may be because of the wiping of system, which I have honestly never had to do before, so I'll try once again, and if it doesn't work I guess I'll just find something else.

EDIT: Yep, nothing I do seems to really be working, probably just getting bad downloads on my end though.

How to flash Xposed in this rom please? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zgomot:
Flashed without issues coming from CM12.1 (the terrible, terrible photo-quality and some in-call sound issues recently always make me return to stock). I just took care to follow instructions and flash a pre-rooted .2.4.2 rom prior to flashing this.

The rom feels really really smooth, it's lovely so far.

edit: One issue thus far is some incompatibility on the Play Store, for instance Galaxy On Fire - Alliances. I can download it on any rom (CM/stock) except this one. Anyway to fix this?

edit2: Are dpi values changed for the launcher? I've tried a couple of xposed modules but I can't seem to get rid of that empty edge. The grid size is weird... it's like 4x4 but really crowded, with nasty-looking empty margins.

I tried a couple of apps to change dpi values to default, but they wouldn't read current dpi and no new values could be applied. Maybe this is linked to the Play Store incompatibilities.

Please help, I'v also got the same problems. I follow everything, but now my phone can not turn on anymore, can not charge. Everytime I press power button, it only vibrate once, but still off. Please help me.

I do the steps from Kitkat and using latest DUAL RECOVERY TWRP.

Thank you in advance
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] busukusu:
I fond the solutions for my problems. I test Fastboot at It work. When Power Off, press Volume Up and connect the USB Cable, then I can detect my phone with command: fastboot devices

After that, using Flashtools and install any FTF source with Kitkat 108, then flash it using Flashtools at computer PC. Prepare downloaded FTF files about 1 GB size at the same computer drive, then run Flashtools and then connect Press Volume Down and connect with USB cable, after that Flashtools display will show that my phone detected / connected, and continue with flashing FTF files, the process about 10 minutes less, and after finish flashing, disconnect USB cable, press Power button and YES it work again.

After that I have to install again with TWRP and install any Stock preroot firmware.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
if you're still on this rom, you can change the dpi in /system/build.prop look for lcd_density and change it to 480 (original value). only thing i can think of for incompatibility is maybe an out of date play services

md5 check: 0406a4743310ee19209cfedcf0c728c9

make sure you're flashing at least from latest kit kat or lollipop
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] squashbuff:
Thanks for that. Looks like my download is fine and I followed all the instructions - wipe system, cache, dalvik but still have the same issue.

Is there any way to create a package without the DRM Function restoration? I don't know a lot about it but it might not be required for LB?

Hi After flashing So many Roms/Mods i want to say i like to stick with your Rom.

Smooth and good Looks.

But i cant make any Calls since no Network.

Can you Look into this and see whats causing this?

I really Like this ROM but i have to depend only on Wifi if i cant connect to any network . Please give me a fix for this.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
open the rom .zip file and just delete the drm.zip. also try dirty flashing (without wiping /system) from another stock rom or flash a different kernel after flashing the rom.

are you on a c6903? go into settings > more > mobile networks > service providers and it should automatically start searching

if that doesn't work, check if your imei is intact
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ArchEnemy':
No..Am on C6902.

And there is no Service provider option...

Someone above already pointed out that it is just showing that your phone is connected to a mobile network which allows you to make/receive calls

Sony could mask that number which will have 0 impact on battery life. If you think being connected to a mobile network doesn't consume battery because in your previous roms that number was masked then nothing Sony can do about it...

Mobile radio active is a known bug of Lollipop mobile data connection especially in 4G/LTE.

I'm using C6603 with Sony official Lollipop 5.0.2 ROM, please check my screenshots, disable mobile data then reboot your phone and only connect to WiFi, you'll find the usage time of mobile radio active doesn't increase and there is no battery consumption issue of cell standby even mobile network is connected.

However if you turn off WiFi and connect to mobile data especially 4G/LTE, use it for a while then turn off the mobile data, the usage time of mobile radio active will continue increase and it drains your battery even you close the phone mobile data and connect it to WiFi hotspot.

I don't know why mobile radio active is still be activated and drains lots of battery after I close the mobile data connection. My phone doesn't have this issue if I closed mobile data in 2G/3G mode. In 2G/3G internet mode, the usage time of mobile radio active stop increase if I close mobile data.

I have a temporally solution of this issue:

After you finish using 4G internet mobile data and want to switch back to WIFi connection:

1. Turn on flight mode

2. Close internet mobile data

3. Turn on WiFi then turn off flight mode

The usage time of mobile radio active doesn't increase anymore and there will be not power consumption issue of Cell standby.

I'm appreciated if developer can help to explain and provide possible solution for this issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
This is a major lollipop bug do a google search on mobile radio active bug and you will see it affects many people across different devices and firmware.

I have had it on both cm12 and now stock but I have to say the actual battery drain on stock is much less.

I found that once mobile data connects the mobile radio active timers never really stop properly so cell standby can show a massively incorrect value suggesting that the system is not returning the mobile radio to it's lower power level.

I have a crap data plan so only enable data when I want to use it, but now on lollipop once I enable it cell standby will work it's way to the top of my battery stats with an insane mobile radio active time. Yet on a day when I stay home and I am connected to WiFi and never use mobile data I get no entry at all for mobile radio active in cell standby and absolutely no battery drain.

Clearing the apps you used (browser, email etc) can also help reduce the drain but the timers still continue.

The name itself is so misleading because mobile radio active can be mistaken for the time your phone has been connected to your provider which it does not represent rather showing the time an app or the system has used your mobile data connection.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexvv:
it's not an un-masked feature that wasn't shown before. battery drain is real. in my first two days of using lollipop on z everything was ok, but then sometime i lost 25% of battery as i was sleeping (with everything off and cell standby on gsm only). you probably haven't encountered the problem, but it's sadly real. and no factory reset can solve it, i've done 2 and installed lollipop on a wiped data/cache/system phone....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohdsubaie:
Try installing better battery stats and see what is preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. You said you didn't encounter the problem in the first two days so something has changed which is causing excessive drain.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexvv:
of course i installed better battery stats and wakelock detector. they didn't show anything new, just the mobile radio battery drain. not all bugs can be solved and this is one of them. you can't do anything about a faulty recognition of hardware... hopefully an update rolls out sometime soon, if ever.
