Finally managed how to install xposed on 4.5.3i firmware after 1000 tries.

If someone is interested: I had to delete almost all system apps except those that are needed to run system because otherway it couldn't finish optimizing apps in a million years. I backed up them manually because Titanium couldn't restore them in a proper way. I followed this tutorial that [MENTION=5500052]nitalium[/MENTION] posted http://geekify.tk/meizu-m2-note-fly...are-install-exposed-flyme-tool-boot-loop-fix/

The only difference is that except those apps on the list in tutorial I had to delete almost all :D And phone finished optimizing apps in 2 minutes.

Then after phone finished optimizing and switched on, you need to manually restore those apps. First restore Security app, but only that one app and reboot because if you don't restore it first it gives bootloop. And then restore other apps but only 3-4 at a time, if you try more it can finish in bootloop. And then enjoy Xposed :)

No the lens can't focus at this short distance, I have a Universal Macro lens, and i can tell you that i film, and take pictures of small insects very close and they still focus, it costs like 2€ and you get wide angle, macro, fisheye ! you should give it a try, also use a tripod to keep the phone as stable as possible while taking a picture so it can focus nicely (selfie stick works aswell)

I highly recommend tempered glass screen protector for this device. I got one with 2.5D glass for ~3-5USD. Phone feels more thick (thats a downside maybe), but it feels much smoother than plastic protector. It is also supposed to protect from damage (someone also posted that m2 note screen shatters easily).

you have to reduce resolution to 9mp. Google camera has 16:9 with 9.4 megapixels.

I did not find the best camera for photos yet. Original has some shortcomings, google camera does not offer manual control, 360camera is for little girls - HDR looks very bad. I will try Open camera next. Not sure what to use for recording yet.

Just follow what I wrote and you can have xposed in 10 minutes. Imgine what it was like for me to reboot phone 1000 times and get mad with every bootloop until I figured it out. But it was worth. Flymetools is great xposed module

Hmm hows battery life? How much do you get screen on time? I don't face any problems so far, whatsapp uses about 2% of battery and I use it alot, and I didn't noticed sleep issues.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

Instead of freezing apps you must uninstall them, but you need to delete almost all system apps except camera and Gallery because if you delete them you will stuck in bootloop. When I rebooted phone there were only 54 apps to optimize and it finished in 3-4 minutes with only 2-3 reboots

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

That could be becuse security app kills them when phone sleeps. To prevent that go to security app and select which apps to keep running when phone sleeps.

Hi, just hands on this device and upgrade it to 4.5.3i

Currently doing battery life test but it seems not to good compared to my Alcatel Flash+, this M2 Note drains quickly from 100 to 70 just in 1 hour :( I'm using wifi, dual sim, brightness set on 10%

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] battouter:
you cannot compare with alcatel flash plus because alcatel is only 720p and has 3500mah battery. at full brightness the m2 can only do 4.5-5 hours.

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] fleks5:
bad beyond my worst imagination. I tried 4.5.1A, 4.5.2A, 4.5.3I and it's all the same. Look from this night. Basically whatever you setup on the phone - it prevents the sleep mode. Sometimes it's ok, but 90% of the time it's like this. Im gonna give it a few more days, after that I don't know. Below are the screenshots from last night. It just uses random app to stay awake and doesn't enter sleep mode. I lost 30 something % of battery overnight. It was deep sleeping for 1 second. One.

Trying to install xposed, as per instructions in this tread. NOw i get reboots while optimizing apps (it switches between 69 and and 30-ish, once it gets to the last app, it reboots).

What am i doing wrong?

UPD: Just noticed that with each reboot, the small value gets bigger. Is it supposed to be installed once it reaches the migger value (69, for example) ?

Don't delete titanium and terminal. Here are all apps. Also delete Videos and PicoTTS. Don't delete Security app.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
Guys, the point is to have only about 55 apps to optimize, if you have more it just won't boot, I don't know why but that's the way it is. Maybe some of system apps just won't optimize and that causes reboots. See what apps I have deleted, delete them and then try. First app to delete must be system keyboard, restart and then delete other apps, reboot and install xposed and reboot. Let me know if it works. But I used method on page 41-42 that someone posted
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
Can you give me security apk ?, i don't have it :(

So , uninstall system keyboard and security center and reboot then ?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
Install some other keyboard from play store, uninstall system keyboard, reboot. Uninstall other apps and reboot. Then proceed to xposed instalation. If you won't use security then don't install it, you probably don't use since you deleted it. Sorry can't upload it now.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
Backup first and uninstall them ?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
yup, but backup them manually with some file browser, I use fx file explorer. Go to system/app and system/priv-app and copy those apps to your card so you can later restore them. don't backup with titanium because it can't restore properly, it restores only apk file to system without lib files, and if you look you will se that every system app has its own folder.titanium can't restore them in that way with folders.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] sveex:
Negative, there is no xposed after that.

how to restore all files that i delete? i create backup on titanium. its ok to restore?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
You should copy apps from system to your sd card and now restore them by copying back from sdcard to system, I wrote that and I also explained why to do it that way, but try with titanium, I know it didn't worked when I tried.

And also one more important thing is to restore 3-4 apps at a time because more than that can cause bootloop, I experienced that also.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
For me so far so good, I am satisfied with battery.

Something prevents phone from sleeping, something is constantly keeing it awake. It would be good to flash firmware again but to wipe all user data and then to see if it will happen again. You could then install only whatsapp and see if whatsapp causes problems.

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] rraghur:
Does anyone have a good link to backup and restore of system and userdata? I know there were backup instructions a few posts back - but my question is that can I backup /userdata to /sdcard and then transfer it out or do I need to have a USB OTG cable mandatorily?

Also, how do I restore (only folks who've tested it out please :D) - Planning to take the plunge to try out Xposed - but I need an escape hatch to get back a working device if things don't go well (which seems extremely likely)
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
Why are you in doubt? That's the easiest and simplest way to root phone I have seen.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Go to settings/about phone/backup data and make backup. Then you can transfer it from sdcard to pc, if that is what you meant?

If xposed gives you bootloop then just reboot to recovery and reflash firmware and your phone will work again, but before you try it put update.zip to internal storage.

And I advise to install xposed on fresh flashed firmware and with deleted system apps, that way you will have less installed apps and phone will optimize apps after xposed installation.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] fleks5:
Yeah, I tried all of that... Flashed all the roms there are :) . Then even if I don't install whatsapp - still get battery drains. Can you please try to fully charge your phone and leave it overnight and see how much battery will it drain and see the wakelocks.

When i compare it to for example my lenovo android, which loses some 5% overnight (8 hours standby, pushservices and everything else on) - this is really really bad. 8hours of standby cant eat 25% (or more) of battery...

thanks.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] battouter:
doesn't matter, 1080p screen drains battery quicker.

Everyone can try this with their m2's and please give feedback in here if it works. TIA!

The work around for the lack of Deep Sleep is

1.- Leaving Google Installer installed, Give permission to:

Google Installer

Google Play Services

Google Play

to start on boot and to stay running while on idle (both on the "Security" app Permission and Power Saving) and rebooting the phone, then every time you charge it you need to reboot the phone since charging triggers the 1040MHz problem, easy work around, you can check if your Meizu M2 Note is going into deep sleep installing CPU-Z app.

Also some people (I think they are running the Flyme 4.5.3I, with preinstalled Google services) claim than only restarting the phone after charging it prevents the locked 1040MHz problem.

Improve Audio

Hi, so one of the things that has been annoying me with the M2 is the volume output, which is very low IMO, so got hands on and improved the audio quality, if you are interested in this, you will need to root you device, guide below:

1 - Root your device: settings > accounts > my flyme > select account > scroll down to 'system privileges' and check it.

2 - Install SuperSU from the Play Store

3 - Install BusyBox from the Play Store

4 - Run BusyBox and select "Install"

5 - Restart your device

6 - Download Viper4Android here

7 - Extract the zip file and copy "ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk" to your device

8 - On you device install and run "ViPER4Android"

9 - When driver installation prompted, choose Yes.

10 - V4A auto detects your CPU and show available driver modes, select "Super Audio Quality"

11 - After installation done, Reboot device.

Once you device finishes rebooting, open "ViPER4Android" and enable the following for the Headset tab:

- V4A-FX

- PlaybackAGC

After this play some music/video and press volume down and then up again, now the maximum will be LOUDER =) still not as much as I would like, but a lot better =)

Enjoy =)

My In-Depth Review of the Meizu M2 Note in White

[YOUTUBE]1UtboecG7Fk[/YOUTUBE]
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] hugoprh:
So I did it, installed 4.5.2A on top of 4.5.1 I, reason, cannot let the Alarm fail on me again, like it did today, I kind need the Job lol... so really hoping that 4.5.2A will fix this as it says on the change log.

So the process, downloaded pretty quickly for a Chinese website, normally these take ages, at least Huawei and Xiaomi are terrible to download, really slow servers... So, tried to do a dirty flash, but it did not that great, it booted fine, but google services just stopped working =(, tried clearing the cache/data from the "google play store" and "google play services", but did not work, tried to remove the google account and also did nothing, so after a few tries I gave up and just did a factory reset. Now all good, some bloatware that it was not on the "I" version, but easily uninstallable =) then installed the app "Google Installer" from the Meizu market store, after this had to override the "google play services" installed with the 64bit version as mentioned on page 3 of this thread, I'll also post a link to this apk below and now all installing without any issues =) the next few days will tell me if the alarm is working properly now.

Download GoogleServices 64bit v448

Read above regarding the ROM installation, keep in mind that I changed from the "I" version to "A" for the reason above.

Regarding the M2 compared to the other devices, I'm really impressed for the price, Love the in-hand feel, really comfortable for the screen size... it is fast enough, it's not has fast has a Snapdragon 800/801 devices, but pretty close, maybe 1sec more that you have to wait for an app to load, not a heavy gamer, so can't really tell about that, battery life is good, but LG G2 and Oneplus One are still top ones for me in this regards, so if you want a cheap device with an amazing screen, fast enough and great camera, you will enjoy it, if you value custom ROMS, stay away, you can get a LG G2 used for the same price and it does everything this one does and more...

Hope this helps =)
