[Sony Xperia ZL] z1ckZack:
Hello together first my specs:

Model: Sony Xperia ZL C6503

Android 5.0.2

Build: 10.6.A.0.454

Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g8fa3dae BuildUser@BuildHost #1 <- Vanilla Kernel I beliefe

Root: Yes with kingroot following this HowTo Link I now got SUperSU 2.46 installed

Bootloader: Locked - I didnt unlock it and I think the rooting didnt unlock it either

Apps: ~95

I have the following problems:

1. Ever since 4.4.4 my Sony ZL is somewhat laggy. With 4.4.2 I had a really smooth experience but since 4.4.4 its been a dirt road. I am happy that Sony still brings us the newest updates with Andorid 5.0.2 and soon 5.1 but I hate that my user experience drasticly decreased. Not only do games lag since Lolipop, now the UI interface is lagy and my browsers (Dolphin with Jetpack) lags. Its just a big **** up! Its not smooth anymore and it doesnt make fun to wait several seconds (3-5) before apps open or close. I have no longer any task killer, with my last it felt to decrase performance instead of increase.

2. I have a heat issue with the phone somtime it gets really hot really fast.

3. Battery doesn't hold a whole day anymore. Could be casue the phone is 2 years old already but sometimes I have really bad battery life. If I turn on GPS I can forget to use my phone cause battery dies within 3 hours and apps just collapse under the heat.

I have Stammina tunred on and @30% Low Battery kicks in. @15% Battery saver tunrs on.

Battery drops from 12% -> 0% and turns off phone. Sometimes I get to 8% and then 0%

I would like to fix those issues and I need your help and advise. Yesterday I was almost to the point where I threw my ZL out of the window but I decided to give it a last chance with some help of the XDA community. So for my phone you are the last chance otherwise I will throw it out.

My Problem: I dont really want to completly start fresh and install all apps and configure everything again. I have Titanium Backup insallted (but I dont really know how to use it). If I have to completly start fresh I will probably get a new device casue there I will have to do the same legwork anyway. Only if money is thight next month I will stay with the ZL and do it all over again.

So can you guys help me to fix my problems? My biggest problem is the lag issue. I can life with the allright battery life and the heat issue but the lag drives me insane.

Edit:

In the past I already tried to root my phone while I had 4.4.4 but at the time there was no root available yet and some tasks failed. Not sure if that had any impact.
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
sorry for stating the obvious, but did you reset your device when you updated to 5.0, or anytime when you updated to a newer version of android?

its preferred to factory reset the device after every new installation of a new android version. i also updated mine to 5.0 but didnt felt any lag. however i am facing a play services issue which is rapidly draining my battery. i created the mess(lol) but thats a different issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dhanamjay:
I have battery drain issue when I use wi-fi for few min and then turn it off. After this the battery drains crazy but if I never turned on Wifi battery drain is normal.

Another issue is when Today Touch plugin's weather is updated by Wifi then it won't update with Active Sync connection?

Did anybody see these problems? Anybody has solutions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] haggisgirl:
I probably cannot help you other than to remind you that the gurus here will need more information so that they can help you. What device do you have, what ROM, what programs you've installed, etc. Also, these issues have been discussed numerous times with various ROMS, so searching will probably yield a great deal of information. Good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dhanamjay:
My device is on XDAR2a release. Touch stuff and that is all nothing fancy. I am sure we are all talking about HTC wizard/cingular 8125.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] g0dblissyou:
Wifi always takes alot of battery, make sure it's off, and also turn off incoming beam option in setting.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] monkey_knight:
if you're reading the drain info from a program like batterystatus...give it some time after you turn off wifi for the information to refresh. wifi has a large drain on the battery...so it just might be residual information.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michlord1:
Hello,

I own a LG P880 16GB and decided to flash it with a custom ROM. The stock version was JB 4.1.2 for Europe. I've tried AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1 and later Euphoria-OS 1.1. I use custom recovery called ClockworkMod Recovery. I've also installed gapps from Nano Modular Package.

Before the flashing I wiped all data and caches in recovery. I've also explicitly wiped /system and /data.

And here is the question. Why a 200MB ROM takes up about 9GB on /data partition? My storage manager says that I only have 3.5GB space available. It used to be a lot more (around 12GB).

Here is a screenshot of my storage manager: http://i.imgur.com/IPaz9W2.png

I suspect that it could be my old files from previous android installations but how did they survive the wiping? I can't access the files from my JB installation (though it seems they take up the space) but I can access some music and photos from AOSP even though I have Euphoria-OS now.

My second guess is that the Lolipop reserves some space for builtin apps but since I use a custom ROM they are not installed.

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paget96:
That is because of ART runtime :)

On KK and lower you had dalvik runtime which make small dalvik cache per app, for about few mb or less, with ART that will be much more. Mine sugestion is to clean up rom of apps whih you don't use (system apps) and also don't instal anything what you will not use (if possible) :D

Thats it ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michlord1:
After all it turned out to be what I thought... but still thanks for your time.

I don't know what kind of sorcery happened during the flash but here is what it looks like

/data
|_ some folder
|_ some folder
|_ /media
|_0 <--- why???
|_ folder from new rom
|_ folder from new rom
...
|_ folder from previous rom
|_ folder from previous rom
...

I found out about it after I've enabled root explorer in es file manager, without it the data folder was empty but occupied about 9GB.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paget96:
Can you please make a screenshot, I want to see this...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paget96:
Everything is normal, you must to know that per app ART cache is minimum about 10-15mb... Then if your device is samsung and if you use stock rom, there are about 300-400 apps (bloat) then calculate :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
3. Getting the device into QDL Mode 9008

Now we need to use our polished cooper wire and ground 1 thin resistor to get to test-point mode. You need to ground this end of the resistor:

Ignore the white stuff (it is flux) on the GND point. Yours will be gold. Just short where the red dots are (the ground and the 6th resistor, the up pin of the resistor). While you keep it shorted plug in USB connected TO BACK PORT OF YOUR PC. BACK HUB NOT FRONT. If you don't get the beep for a new device detected unplug USB, short again and plug USB. After your device gets detected hold the short for 2 more seconds and then remove the cooper wire (or what you used to short).

I did it alone but you can ask 1 people to help. One keeps it shorted and 1 plugs USB. AFTER DEVICE GETS RECOGNIZED AS UNKNOWN DEVICE DO NOT UNPLUG USB OR YOU NEED TO SHORT AGAIN.

Go to Device Manager and select driver for your unknown device. Select the 32 bit or 64 bit driver you just downloaded at step 1 (depends on your OS if it is x86 or x64). Wait and your device will look like this.

Click Have Disk.

I have 64 bit PC.

FINAL RESULT SHOULD BE THIS.

4. Flashing the MBR, EBR and the main bootloaders:

After you got the Final Result install QPST tools and open eMMC Software Download. You will need the QDL_9008_L7II.zip files now. Do like in the image:

At 1 choose your phone.

At 2 Write:

MPRG8X25.hex

At 3 Write:

8X25_msimage.mbn

At 4 Press it and select the file rawprogram0 in your QDL_9008_L7II folder.

At 5 Press it and select the file patch0 in your QDL_9008_L7II folder.

At 6 Uncheck Program MMC Device

In the end it should look like this.

Press Download

Wait it to finish. Your device will make recognition sounds and it will say device ready to use. You are now in QDL 9006 (RAW MMC PROGRAMMING). The Final message should be:

You will see some messages like this:

The Letter might be different but ALWAYS DO NOT FORMAT. AGAIN!!! SAY CANCEL!!! ALWAYS

After you say CANCEL close eMMC Software Download.

5. Flashing the phone as a Hard Drive in QDL Mode 9006 (Raw MMC Access)

Open EMMCRAW program with Run As Administrator. You will need the LG_P715_FullFlash.rar. Unrar that and you will get a *.bin file we will need. Do like in the image and select the LG_P715_FullFlash.bin you just extracted. Then Press Write.

You might get a message like this:

If you get this press YES, if not it is just as good. If you will get the message it will stop at 99% flashing and give an error in the bottom left corner IGNORE IT. Wait until it is done and do not unplug the phone or restart the computer.

It will take up to 30 mins. After all buttons but Cancel are not grayed anymore it means it is done. Close the program. Unplug USB, Unplug the connect 1 on the motherboard and assamble the phone back like in step number 2 but in reverse order. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE HEAT SKIN.

6.1 Flashing a Pre-Rooted Image

After you successfully assembled the phone plug battery. Hold down Volume Down and plug USB Cable. You will hear a beep and see some Strange screen with blue strips if you see this your phone is forever dead. Just kidding this is normal. Your phone is getting detected in this strange Emergency Mode.

If you don't see the blue screen it means you have L7 II Dual Sim (I am not sure since I don't have dual sim; this needs confirmation since I don't know if the OEMSBL is the same for Single and Dual). Do the

6.2 Restoring the default Emergency Mode

if you see this blue screen like in the image.

Unrar the Kdz Flasher and from that folder install "msxml.msi". After that run "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" as administrator. Do like in the picture:

1. Select 3GQCT

2. Select Emergency

3. Browser for the Root.kdz you downloaded at first step

4. Press the button and wait until your phone reboots

When it rebooted, unplug USB Cable, plug out the battery. Put it back. Press Volume Down+Home Button+Power Button. When it powers stop pushing Power. Wait until you see the Android Guy (this will hard reset your device).

When it booted up complete the Startup Wizard randomly to get to system. Go to Settings->Developer options and Enable USB debugging. Wait for drivers to install.

6.2 Restoring the default Emergency Mode

Plug in USB Cable.

Unrar the Stock_Emergency.rar and put the 3 files inside on the root of your SD CARD (you need an SD Card).

From ADB copy this. LINE BY LINE OR YOU CAN HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE AGAIN:

adb shell

su

Grant Su permission on phone.

Copy the next lines 1 by 1 pressing Enter after each one.

dd if=/storage/external_SD/cfg.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/storage/external_SD/qcsbl.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

dd if=/storage/external_SD/oemsbl.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Close ADB and reboot device.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
6.3 Restoring original IMEI (if this is legal in your state)

This will include a split A (Single Sim) and B (Dual Sim). For Dual Sim restore I don't have a device and I am still experimenting it will be available later.

Be sure to have USB Plugged in and download, depending on your phone IMEI_Single.qcn or IMEI_Dual.qcn (not available yet).

Now we need to convert our IMEI to good form. Look under the battery and note down the IMEI on a paper (I will take as example 123456789123456). Apply this Algorithm:

Split the IMEI in 2 digits groups with the first group being 1 digit:

1 23 45 67 89 12 34 56

Add A in front of 1:

A1 23 45 67 89 12 34 56

Reverse order of characters in each group and you will get:

1A 32 54 76 98 21 43 65

Note this on the paper. Do this for each IMEI if you have a Dual Sim.

Look in device manager for your device under Ports (COM & LPT). See what COM your device it. We will note it COMxx (where xx is your COM number).

Open QPST Configuration and go to Ports window and follow instructions in the pictures:

Close QPST Configuration.

Open the IMEI_Single.qcn with HxD. Press Ctrl+G and write 22A49 and press OK. Write on Keyboard the IMEI after conversion (ex 1A 32 54 76 98 21 43 65) and Save the file.

TO COME FOR IMEI_DUAL.qcn

Open adb and do this:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

reboot

When phone is fully restarted open Software Download (from QPST).

Do like in image.

Go to Restore at 1.

At 2 select the Port you just added in QPST Configuration.

At 3 select IMEI_Single.qcn.

Check at 4. At 5 Press Start.

Phone will reboot and you have Stock IMEI. Good Job.

7. Flashing your desired KDZ for your phone model

For this step follow 6.1 but instead of Root.kdz use the Firmware for your phone.

GOOD JOB FULLY STOCK. YOUR BRICK IS BACK. BIG THANKS 4 PDA. NOW CREDITS!. Part of tutorial and files are from here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=466295&st=3620#entry40156281

Going to take 9 hours to download the rom, so figured I may as well ask if anyone's tried while I wait :P
