[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] m666p:
I could pm you a copy but AFAIK if you remove the stock gallery or camera app you will not be able to complete boot ,I had to flash the stock firmware via recovery the last time I tried ,ALSO

Could Op just add links or the page numbers in the first post for basic stuff like flashing i firmware, flyme tools download link and guide , xposed download link and guide and build.prop tweaks. As most people just ask the same questions again and again and again without even searching, every time I come here its the same questions, on top of it there's this one guy always asking for info from everyone like he's writing a thesis on the phone "more tweaks" "more screenshots", "what did you do" even after people post exactly what they did with screenshots (I know its not against the rules for him to do this,but it gets irritating after a point)...
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] G.Absin:
Thanks for the reply.

Here's what happened. I have "updated" the Gallery app using the stock apk from FlyMe 5 of MX5. It worked without any problem. But once I uninstalled the "update", the Gallery is missing. No bootloop or any issues. I'm now stuck with the Gallery app from Flyme 5. The feature I missed from the old one is the ability to sort images by name or time.

Really appreciate it if you could pm me a copy of your Gallery apk. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks in advance.

Search on google for flyme tools 1.8.6 apk. It's around one mb. Also download it from trusted site like xda instead of those Chinese scam sites. And of course you need xposed but there's an apk for easy installation few pages back

What module are you using for the statusbar. Looks exactly like iOS.

And please tell me what apps etc you used to get that battery life. I'm also on powersaving mode and the app you mentioned and I barely get 5 hours SOT..

I mean how though.. I have installed Flyme tools and set everything to iOS but now it looks like this.. Nothing like yours. How did you got that rotationlock in your statusbar?

Oh and if I upgrade to 4.5.4.1, will that erease exposed?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] nic025:
Here's my settings in flyme tools>status bar. Just set the alarm icon to lock and set an alarm clock. I'm using flyme tools v1.8.6.

AFAIK if you update your firmware while rooted thru OTA/upgrade app all apps will remain. But to be sure just do a back up.

Hi guys, this thread is amazing. Such a wealth of knowledge here. Thanks!

Forgive me for asking before I've read the whole history, but can anyone tell me what MzSyncService is? I saw a post saying it is safe to freeze, so I'm planning to do that, but I'm curious as to the purpose of the service.

History: For the first two months I had my phone battery life was awesome. I would end a normal day with about 70% remaining if I didn't have a ton of screen on time. Then suddenly I start seeing this circular sync icon in my notifications almost all the time and my battery life cuts in about half. I check where the battery is going, ~%30 to MzSyncService. I can't say if it was there before because I never had any reason to analyze before, but I'm guessing it is the culprit. Anybody know what's up here?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] turrista:
yes u can. but u must install xposed first.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
It's Meizu's own sync.

You can turn it off, because we have Google for that. I didn't froze that, just turned off sync.

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Blue Viuda:
So I got one of these a few weeks ago and have been having a lot of trouble with it.

For one text messages don't come in for hours sometimes, the phone will get hot in standby and the battery also doesn't last very long.

Another thing is in about 4 days it ate thru 2GB of my data plan, when I check in the data usage app it shows all the apps I've used and clearly I haven't used that much but the widget has it listed and it matches what my carriers website says, also I looked at my usage history and I'm randomly pulling in huge pieces of data at times I don't even think I was using the phone. I'm guessing it's pulling down some kinda Chinese system OS info or updates over data.

The next issue is the fact that this phone doesn't have real multitasking the sliding up thing works okay but doesn't work with chrome... Also sliding up works maybe 10% of the time and is really hard to get open.. any idea why that could be?

It's a beautiful phone but these problems are really making it hard to use as a daily driver.

If anyone could point me in the right direction to fix some of these issues that would be wonderful.

Which Xposed modules are working? Anyone tried Flat Style Indicators?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
Great phone for great price and solid/good specs.

There are three things that's annoying:

1. Can't disable ZRAM!

2. Can't change vibration strength!

3. There's is only one volume slider that we can change volume and it's for everything (notifications, alarms, ringing, music) there's is no fine tuning.

Why we need ZRAM? We have 2GB of RAM. If we could disable that we will get better battery life, because cpu don't need power for that operation.

Sent from my m2 note
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] kietakas:
1. Can disable with Kernel Adiutor

2. You can't change it in many phones either. 3rd party keyboard allow changing vibration duration.

3. Use flyme tools for this.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Seakay:
hey, I'm on 4.5.3 i'm rooted and I use Xposed,

what will happen when i update? Will xposed still be working? or do I have to reinstall everything?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
Well I tried with kernel adiutor and toast notification for exit from application can't dissappear. Only when I kill an app. Again when I try to open the app ZRAM is enabled.

Tried with trickster mod too, but when I click off it immediately go on.

I don't need vibration intensity for keyboard, I need for calls, messages.

Flyme tools? I don't like xposed.

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] alford18:
Hey man! I'm just curious why others dont like xposed? I'm planning to install that for future tweaks that may I apply but why you dont like xposed?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
Just because I want system that is developed to work. When some bug occurs, surrely tweaks would be first culprit.

My phone before this one was S3 and just ask devs of cm (JustArchi, Lord Boeffla) why they say explicit in the OP: Don't use xposed, I'm not responsible for any bug then, don't report bugs. So everything is clear to me.

I lived without xposed from my first Android HTC Hero till the previous one S3, I will live without on this one and next one etc.

My SOT is 4,5 hours at the most. How are people getting 8 hours. It cannae be true..
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] MikusP:
Yeah, I'm curious about that too. My SOT is pretty similar to yours. 4-4.5hrs at the most. I'll get 3+hrs with around 35-40% left in the tank. But I'm not rooted, so no tweaks. And, I'm pretty heavily reliant on Google Play Services for photo backups and Gmail, etc. So, perhaps that's the reason...
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] AShacks:
Yeah me too. But I'm rooted with tweaks installed. And I disabled a lot of Google Play services so that shouldn't be draining that much battery. People are def lying about them 8 hours SOT. If y'all post a screen with 8 hour SOT at least tell us how you got that.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] alford18:
Yah. Somebody must tell what is the secret of getting 8 hours SOT so everyone will be happy! Hahaha ;):good:
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] PingGam:
My worst SOT would be about 6 hours and a few days ago I got just under 10 hours!

I am seeing this SOT in; Setting, Battery, Battery Consumption, Screen, Time on. Is this where you are looking for your SOT?

I am rooted but have no tweaks. My 3G and WiFi are turned on all the time except in the car, when WiFi is turned off and Bluetooth turned on.

When in Deep Sleep I get no notifications or email until I wake the phone up.

I use Greenify, but don't know if it really makes a difference.

I use the inbuilt Security App to ban most of my downloaded Apps from auto loading, I still have about a dozen that I allow to auto start.

I have a 1 Tap Boost (kills all unneeded apps that are running), and I use it all the time before I close the screen, when I have finished using the phone.

Screen Brightness - I don't use auto-brightness, and as about 80% of my phone usage is indoors, I only have my screen brightness set at about 40% most of the time. Power mode - Balance mode.

I rarely play games or watch video on my phone
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] AShacks:
I don't know how that's possible.. Whut.. 10 hours SOT. U've got to be kiddding me. I even got my phone on power saving mode and I've got 0 auto launched apps and screen brightness at 40% also.. No games nor videos. Also killing all my apps when closing phone. Gettin 4,5 hours SOT at most. And I always disable bluetooth and only use my wifi or 3g and not both....
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
Listen guys... Everybody has its own preference, different apps, different use, different brightness, sync, good reception signal, etc etc.

The thing is that someone uploads a screenshot and everybody is whoaaa how did you get, give meeee tweaksss. After you flash/put/change/tweak and your battery is worse or same (placebo better) there are then words like, better battery life, smooth etc etc, but it's placebo in 90%. Or different I can't do that, my phone is "broken" can't get those results.

If someone has ~4h screen on time for 24-36h uptime, that is good result. There was sync (lost battery about ~ 30%) screen goes to 40%, and calls 30%. Higher brightness. LTE. Or maybe 3G. Maybe something on wifi.

Then there is someone with 4h sot, but for 12h uptime. Bad signal reception, max brightness, lots of sync, gaming. LTE. Or maybe 3G.

And there are people only indoor, 2G network, minimal or even zero brightness, zero sync, only wifi, apps that are nice on battery ( tapatalk or some reader (minimal frequencies)) who get 7-8h screen on time with 12/16/20h uptime.

When I'm out of wifi and outdoor, I'm on LTE and higher brightness sometimes max, twitter, weather, tapatalk, Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook, calls, SMS, browsing and after 12-16h of uptime I get 4 - 4.5h screen on time.

When I'm at home I get 7-8h in 12-16-20h uptime. Same apps using, but 2G, wifi and lower brightness.

So guys enjoy in your phones and don't worry. Even if you worry, there is BBS (better battery stats) thread here on xda, read op and post results there for reading logs.

Cheers.

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
Just tip for you. Android is not PC/Windows. Don't kill apps. Because the processor needs more power to open app from beginning than staying in RAM and there is too speed of launching app, when you kill you have cold start and when app is in background/cached there it is in split second opened. Fast and better for battery.

For launched apps too. Let them.

Cheers.

Battery life isn't better since Greenify and Device Control are installed.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Deni_NS:
And signal. It's very important. When you are in area where signal is bad you can lose lots of juice. So if your LTE is bad, switch to 3G, and if your 3G is bad switch to 2G.

Greenify(donate version for system apps) + debloat(uninstall everything meizu) and use power saving mode

EDIT- check how much battery is drained during sleep if it is more than 1 or 2% you have and issue ,I also keep auto-sync off for everything its a major battery drainer for all android phones, contacts have a bug where it constantly syncs with google to get/keep your stored contacts so dont sync google contacts, also phone on max brightness will give you about 5hrs screen time 40% is good and what I use, I have never ever gotten below 8 hrs on screen time for my phone but if you game constantlly you should get 5hrs ,when i set the cpu to 1040mhz and touch boost to 299mhz i get 10 hrs or more i do that when travelling...

Hello, could anyone make me a favour?

Could you extract and upload FRP partition? I think maybe here is a vulnerability so we would be able to unlock bootloader, like with the Meizu M2.

To extract FRP partition you only have to put this in a terminal emulator or in ADB:

FRP=$(getprop ro.frp.pst)

dd if="$FRP" of=/sdcard/frp.img

And upload frp.img that will appear in the internal memory

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] iicc:
It seems that maybe m2 note can be unlocked like M2.

But we need to test it. I leave the instructions here for one volunteer to test it:

Please dont try it if you don't know what is all this!

All data will be cleared!

Place an update.zip in the internal memory to flash firmware if unlock success.

I am not responsible for this, risk of brick

1º Install busybox (stericson one form play store)

2º Download this script and place it in the internal storage https://mega.nz/#!HwtUlBrA!AZsPpjAi80bnZcgFgYx2huzs4ZgU7RNBi4KUNA__I9Y

3º Connect the phone via ADB

4º

adb shell

su

sh /sdcard/unlock_bootloader.sh

5ºWait the script to finish and write this:

adb reboot bootloader

Wait till phone reboots

fastboot oem unlock

wait and press up volume button

Wait and turn off the phone.

Bootloader should be unlocked now

Edit: It was tested already by one person. The phone was unlocked but was bricked after the reboot. Maybe all emmc was automatically formatted
