I'm on pure x rom right now, just to see if it freezes, and so far it doesn't at all.

But I really don't prefer it over existenz even though it is good in its own ways.

What else could it be? :/

Do you think the kernel matters?

The androplus and existenz combo?

(it was working since kitkat just fine up until a few weeks ago)

I searched in androplus's thread but I haven't seen any posts about freezing.

Meh.

I appreciate your job man, this is no rant or anything so don't take it wrong, just a search of finding the cause of this and maybe help fixing it.

If you have any ideas or something reply. :)

yup he always on stock. .:good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Appreciated. :)

I'll continue my investigation, now I flashed a completely stock rom paired with androplus, so I can identify the issue.

I really hope it freezes so I can use existenz without just the kernel and be fine, but so far it seems solid as hell. :(:P

Folks, you now can contribute to the ROM by helping to translate the extended settings to one of 30 most used languages.

Create a crowdin account and apply for the project the make the ROM even better.

The project has Z3 in the title, but that is just because I started this crowdin project for the Xperia Z3.

For some reason, when the phone is in charger and at 100%, when I unplug it, it has a tendency to go real slow or freeze completely.

appreciated and respected master [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] I am looking for a way to place a defocus in the background settings in your rom existenz 6.3.5, I love this style looks like, It looks too fancy ... I really love to see this in existenz ... if you can help I'd appreciate it and hopefully this will serve as a visual style suggestions for future versions of this awesome rom ;) :D :good:

Is this a mod? /Theme? Can you link to it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] *HYPERION*:
no bro, not a mod or a theme ... these images are of the Mr SL ROM ... I would love to see this visual style ... but the master existenz @ niaboc79 not even answer my question of how to make existenz look the same in the settings, messaging, contacts, and other sections ... it would look really cool ...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] *HYPERION*:
estimated [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] that know how to do this in existenz 6.3.5 ??... It would be nice if you added this visual style to your next aroma installer

These images are of the Mr SL ROM 8.5

Quick question: I'm getting this phone in a few days, and I'd like to run this rom, but I'd also like to keep my Bravia engine. So, can someone who knows please give me a little information? I'm having trouble finding out what is current.

* is there way to root the phone without unlocking?

* if so, and I can back up my ta partition, can I restore the partition after installing this rom? (meaning, I'd have this rom with a locked bootloader and my DRM keys intact)

If anyone can tell me whether this is possible (including program names/thread links if you have them)?

Thanks everyone!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
* Yes. You can root it without unlocking bootloader. But you should downgrade to Kitkat or Lolipop 5.0.2. Then root it and install dual recovery then flash this rom..

* Yes. You can restore your TA partition after flashing this rom. But u don't need to do that because u will lost ur TA partition only if you unlock ur bootloader. In ur case u r not going to Unlock ur bootloader. Just root. That's it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] *HYPERION*:
I'm sorry ... I did not read that part ... I corrected my mistake, now please answer my question:confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jateed:
Thank you Rajeev. So you're saying that I can root, install a custom recovery, and install a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader? Would you mind pointing me in the direction of some threads regarding those proceses? I want to make sure I do everything the right, up to date way. Thanks again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
I can make that. Not a big problem.. Will add to v2 of my Aroma add on..

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Yea u can.. Well simply PM me after u get ur device. Without a device explaining about root and recovery is waste of time. So just ping me after u get ur device. I will help
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Those look good, but they drain a lot of battery coz everytime you open the app, it blurs the background and that drains the battery.. Ex: Serajr's Blur UI.. Everytime u scroll down the notification bar, your battery life goes down.. I used to see 3h Sot when I was using it, just when I removed it, my battery life went back to normal 6h sot with 2days of usage..

I trust that our friend [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] will do a great job to include visual style that the mods scent for existenz 6.3.5 and optmization in the visual style defocus in the settings, messaging, dialer, and others not consume any battery :fingers-crossed::good::D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neonixxx:
If you use Xposed, there's a new module called XRecorder that does exactly this.

I've downloaded the module enabled it checked all the options.

but the auto call recording is not working. do i need to turn off recording from setting in defualt call menu option.?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neonixxx:
Sorry, I have no idea. I just had seen it in the repo yesterday and figured I'd pass it along since you were asking for that feature. I haven't actually used the module as I don't need it personally.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beniamin24:
I have found (i think) the source for the constant freezing of the existenz rom. I'm not 100% sure of it but from my testing, it shows that the Sony SmartKey App (witch caused problems before) is constantly freezing the phone. Hanging it and so forth. I have uninstalled it and after 24 hours i see no freez sence. Again, i'm not 100% sure of it but in my case, till now, that was a problem. Can anyone confirm?

I also have the occasional problem!

Moreover, as with a keyboard - sometimes do not open.

Simply Restart SystemUI and for a time worked.

I did a Fresh install with no additional .apk

Version 6.0.0 this problem does not.

The problem arose from the version 6.3.0 and 6.3.5 !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahmedyar91:
Due to some dirty flashing or updating an app might have caused this issue

In TWRP recovery go to mount options enable MTP and connect your phone it should work.

you can simply flash existenz 6.0 to solve the broken usb mode.

or you can wait for [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] he can point us to the exact files responsible for usb MTP storage.

Hello [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] and all,

I just want to say that so far I have had no issues from 4.2.5 that I have been using for a few months now. Yeah it shows signs on needing update but I know that it's probably because of something I have done... like installing new app or something.

So with that being said I want to continue my Thanks to niaboc79 for his hard work here. Also would like to say this thread has WAY too many complaint posts, crying post and lazy posts and hardly ANY POSITIVE posts... Folks... READ a little... I follow this thread daily and keep up. If your goal is to ***** and complain then DON'T flash!

Simple...

So I know that I am going to flash clean rom, update and manually return my settings. No backup restore to new flash because I know that doing it manually will give me the best experience of my new rom without any problems. I am aware of certain bugs like the front facing camera that I hardly use anyways... I continue to read but most of all.... I THANK TOO!

My goal it to get this upgrade done in the next few days since I'm off. I will post my POSITIVE reaction when I'm done. Guaranteed not to complain because.... IT's been done already! If I don't like it, flash back. It's simple!!!

I hope others learn from this post and change their way of thinking and READ some... it's all here and not hard at all.

Many MANY Thanks niaboc79 for your hard work! I am very grateful of your continued support for this phone and rom!

*bows* :good::good::good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
You're right, there are nearly no positive feedback.

All issues are due to Lollipop or users and there are 400 pages of people complaining.

Thanks for your support, I will publish a latest update to this rom when possible.

But when Marshmallow will be out, I will only add the features that I am using, that means that I will remove 90% of eXistenZ settings.

I won't spend all my life to feed those babies.

First of all a big THX for your work over years here on XDA (i posted my thx few times also on other niaboc-threads).

BTW i am really excited for your MM ROM which will be hopefully heavy debloated as you said (nearly stock without tons of modifications:good: - i love such roms)

Keep up your amazing work (but don´t forget real life)

Sure.. I'll let you know with every flash I do, I do a manual backup which usually takes me about a day getting everything set the way I like it. All the other stuff is pretty much automated like app installs and contacts.
