[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dslate69:
Anybody have a fix for ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) being so sluggish with Android Auto (at least in the Sonata)?

I was thinking maybe a power managment thing that slows down CPU while charging or when USB cable is attached. Dunno.

But it's not just me as I just read this review that confirmed what I am experiencing. I still have 15 days to return my phone but love it other than the Android Auto performance.

I know the Android Auto app itself could be geared toward Arm and an update could fix everything but hoping that happens and losing the opportunity to RMA it might not be wise on my part if it never gets fixed.

Any ideas? And this is the article that mentions the trouble with the Zenfone 2 and Android Auto in the Sonata...

Ok can't post link but it is on androidpolice website called "Android Auto: A Second Take On Google's In-Car Efforts".
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dslate69:
Nothing on this?

Nothing on this?

Zenfone2 is dog slow with Android Auto. Why?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuanies:
What do you mean dog slow? When I tried it last month it ran fine. Google maps and music worked without issues. The only minor thing is you had to scroll the screen to hit accept when the Android Auto disclaimer popped up - not sure if that was fixed or not but let me check with Hyundai.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dslate69:
Maps and Music work. But when in iHeart Radio for example clicking top left on the screen to choose a station is 10 times slower than my Nexus 5 or OnePlus. This results in choosing the wrong station as the list hasn't completed scrolling up when I choose a station listed.

The best way I can describe it is with other phones it displays at 25-30 frames a second but with the Zenfone2 it may not even be 5 frames a second. This is obviously not noticeable once the screen is drawn and no changes are needed.

Also performance switching songs via voice commands within Google Music is very responsive. It is just the screen draws that are unacceptably slow.

Like I said the review on androidpolice echos my frustration with the Zenfone2 and Android Auto in my Sonata.

Noted. I'll discuss with Hyundai.

[ROM][Umi Zero ] Arcatarc's "XperiaZero"

Ciao a tutti amici miei!(hello all my friends!)

i'm proud to introduce you the latest great Arcatarc Creation:

++++++++ XperiaZero +++++++

A full working transplantation of the Sony android Ui with all his features included!!

PREREQUISITES:

Due to the fact that Sony system partition is bigger than stock one of Umi Zero,the first thing we need to do is to expand it...don't worry,if you follow all the steps with care there is not risk ;)..

Ok,..let's start:

1) First of all you need a full charged battery and an external sd card (the process require time,and internal memory will be formatted during the process)

2) Download&Install my TwrpRecovery

INSTALLATION:

Download to EXTERNAL SD the 3 needed files:

1: "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart1.zip"

2: "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart2.zip"

(many tnx to [MENTION=3891570]eryen[/MENTION] for both)

3: "XperiaZero_020715.zip"

4) Using my TWRP RECOVERY MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR ACTUAL ROM AND INTERNAL MEMORY TO THE SD CARD...OR BETTER MAKE A COPY OF THEM ON YOUR PC TOO..(it will backup all your "vital" partitions that will permit you to restore your Imei,Mac address etc..)

5) Once YOU HAVE DONE THE BACKUP,enter in TwrpRecovery-"Settings" and Un-tick "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" (if ticked)

6) Now,in TwrpRecovery,click "install" and select "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart1.zip"...wait 15/20 minutes until it finished,then reboot in recovery again,click "install" and select "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart2.zip"......when it finish reboot in recovery again....

7) In TwrpRecovery-"Settings" tick "Use rm -rf instead of formatting",then "Wipe"-"Advanced Wipe" select: Dalvik Cache,System,Cache and Data.

8) FINALLY,without exit from Recovery click "Install" and select "XperiaZero.zip"...

fiuuuuu....

..Ok Now You Are On XperiaZero!!!!

VERY IMPORTANT:

Feedback&Contributions are well accepted... :D:D:D

If you like my works an offer is greatly appreciated not only by me (50% will be donate to UNICEF)

BUGS&TIPS:

Stock Sony camera and some his extension won't work well,but i've included a full working camera similar to stock one (i hope to fix it in the next days)

Alarms don't works with device turned off(this is not a rom bug,but the normal behavior of the original Sony Xperia devices)

Installation

Good, acatarc 's, I have a question, after installing rom xperia .. which the possibility of returning original will, after all these instaações and division of internal memory ... ??

good work ....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
Don't worry,you can restore every backup you made before and install without problem any rom..but if for some reason you want go back to original partitions layout,simply flash a stock rom with Sptool, it will restore it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
Ciao arcatarc,

at the moment I have the system unmount. Do I have to mount it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bodyjoao:
trying to instal ....

lets go ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
Hello! Thanks again for the great work :)

So, if I expand the system partition and if I want to put another ROM (like MIUI) isn't there any problem? I can have it expanded from now on without any problem?

And could you tell me how much bigger the system partition will be with this? (just for curiosity)

Thanks ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
Yes it is,i got this new layout(1500mb instead of 800mb) from two weeks and i've used different rom/backup without problem(using my TwrpRecovery)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
I follow all the steps but the result is not good. The device is locked on Zero logo.

Suggestion?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
At witch step you are?..howewer to install the two partition tweaker zip you need to have it unmounted,to install the rom zip you need the system to be mounted...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
..probably you have skipped some "tick/untick" :) try again,i personally tested the installation procedure before publish it and i'm sure it works...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
:good::good:

Done!!

The problem was the system mount during the new partition.

Let me play with your new rom and later a beer will come to you.

Grazie!!!:):)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
Ok thank you, I'll try it :)

And if you managed to fix the camera (stock sony camera), will we have probably to flash the whole ROM again or just flash a fix?

EDIT: Just noticed that the ROM is very big compared to others, does a bigger ROM file means a worse battery life or performance, or it has nothing do do with it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bodyjoao:
Instaled ...and...beautiful...

Problems....

No root !!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
It's rooted: su binary is installed,but if you need to menage apps permission you can install supersu from market..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
Don't worry,it have excellent performance and battery backup....but as usual in the next days i will release a Superleggera version too (for barebone rom lovers as me)

Regarding the camera fix i suppose will be sufficient a simple fix zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Goosen:
I had a Xperia and loved the UI... Now I have Umi Zero and you're about to make it even greater! :D

I'll try it tomorrow... Seems promising!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:

I have tried with mobileuncle and it seens rooted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bodyjoao:
OK...thanks...

There main problem is the stock câmara....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
Ok thank you, tomorrow i will test it for sure :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] luxman_1:
everything works except the camera xperia (not camera android) and the unit heats a lot and the battery discharges much faster in 10 minutes I lost 20% :(

I have many tested the rom Xperia umi but I returned on MIUmIZERO_5.5.29_Globale rom. For me it is much more functional and above all practical functions are from the installed stock (security ....)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
Already nstalled this ROM and it seems awesome in everyway, and it is very fast. The sony camera doesn't work for now, but the other one is working nice. Also, I used battery calibration app when I finished installing the ROM (to clean batterystats.bin), and it seems the battery life is vey good :) The compass is also working properly, but I didn't test GPS yet.

Another good thing with this ROM is Sony's music player. The Clear Audio + makes listening music awesome.

The one thing I noticed is that the ROM is not very smooth when it is at the homescreen (MIUI was very smooth) but it's just on homescreen, because it is very smooth in every other location/apps. [MENTION=516740]arcatarc[/MENTION] Do you think you can improve the smoothness on the homescreen to make it look prettier?

But despite that, I'll keep this ROM cause i'm enjoying it a lot.

Thank you ;)

EDIT: It is not very smooth on app drawer as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bodyjoao:
What App do you use to batery calibration???

The change to front camera crashes...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
The name of the app is Battery Calibration and it's free on playstore (it has an icon of android with a %).

I forgot to test the front camera, and yes it crashes to me too :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
It's only on the camera app that front camera doesn't work, for example in snapchat it works good.

I already tested GPS and it's very good, got first fix in about 10-15 seconds.

In antutu I got a score of 31890 :)

EDIT: Is there any way to know if this ROM is using dual mic noise suppression for calls? I think calls sounded clearer in MIUI, but the sound on this one is good too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
:good:

Till now the rom works very well.

No problems with bluetooth while I had always problems with the miui rom.

No heating problem and the battery consumption seems in line with the official rom 3.09 and 3.10.

Great work!!:good::good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fcp-rgo:
Great ROM! Another fabulous Arcatarc work.

Status after 24 hours of use:

Installation: Need to manually Enter APN's settings for 3G!

Battery: 60% Remaining

Reboots: No reboot until now (lets see after some days)

Very fast

Great UI

GPS: Fast fix (only with WIFI on but not connected ). For now, driving 30 minutes seems more accurate (need more time to check it)

Bluetooht: Ok with car and wear

Seems very stable
[Miscellaneous Android Development] travoltas:
Waiting for the superleggera version!!!!:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
It is not needed to manually enter APN, just go to settings, click "More..." and then click "Internet settings". It will download APNs and settings automatically, at least it worked for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tarnak:
Guys, is this Rom has smart case features,?

Sent from Umi Zero - Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Goosen:
Great ROM! Thank you!

I found two bugs:

1) the camera, as mentioned! The original doesn't work and the other, everytime you change rear to front or front to rear, it crashes! But if you start it again, it is changed!

2) the search bar on top it's not working. I don't use it and disabled it but someone may need it! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
To make the search bar working you need to install Google Quick Search from market (i've removed all optional google apps so everyone can install only the needed ones)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
..probably yes...but i haven't one to test it...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
Yes, the flip case works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
...and there are many personalizations for it:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Goosen:
Xperia always had an annoying thing on quick settings. The long click opens a button to click and enter the requested setting. I always got around with Xposed and "Xperia QuickSettings touch-and-hold" or GravityBox but with your ROM, none of them works! It's not a big deal but a solution would be very appreciated ;)

I'll make a "full report" in a few days, so I can fully test this ROM. But I'm loving it!

Note: Shouldn't this ROM be on Umi Zero section?

Modem

Ciao arcatarc,

do you think it will be possible to flash a umi standard modem?

I'm asking that, because I'm seeing that the signal level is very low and sometimes I'm not able to call.

I have vodafone and normally I don't have that problem.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
You can try the ones from EMUmI and let us know te results:

Hi [MENTION=516740]arcatarc[/MENTION] ,

ROM is very good, for awhile I had high cpu usage but I think it was because first run. Now seems to be stable.

I'm not sure about light sensor screen settings. When I select to use sensor screen is dimmed but whenever I cover sensor brightness doesn't change. (I've even calibrated the Light sensor).

Visually EMUmIZERO is much better (I'm talking about Visual F-X like rotating circle when making call etc.) but on Xperia themes works much better.

Connection by cable USB - only MTP mode is available.

Changing system fonts can be done with "rom toolbox".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
No good result.

The signal is always very low and I lost calls.

I'm thinking to come back to 3.10

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
Well, I started to notice that too.. I have much less signal with this rom compared to the other ones.

I usually have full signal where I live, and now I have just 1 or 2 signal bars :/

Is there something we can do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcatarc:
As you can see from my test(same baseband,same time,same location,same sim...)the differnces from stock(3.10) vs XperiaZero signal reception is only graphical(....at times XperiaZero it is even better!!):
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arna1958:
Arcatarc, thanks a lot for your test. I will stay with this rom.:thumbup::)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelferraZ:
Hmm nice, thanks for the test :)

So expect Hive Atlas on your devices soon

Does anyone ever put HTC One (M7) LCD into HTC One Dual SIM (802w) or can confirm that they use the same LCD? I just recently saw HTC One Dual SIM (802w) with cracked digitizer being sold very cheap. I did some research in the internet and seems like both use the same LCD piece as they seem to have the same cable size and connector position, but use different size of digitizer, also have different dimension. If they use the same LCD then I will try to separate cracked digitizer and replace with new one, if separation breaks LCD then I will buy HTC One (M7) LCD and put it into HTC One Dual SIM (802w) as its price seems to be cheaper than the other.
