Not exactly... If you have unlocked your bootloader to use a CM or an AOSP rom, then you have lost you DRM keys and some features (like image enhacements, and others...), but just relocking won't restore your DRM keys.

If you have made a TA backup, restoring it you will relock your bootloader and restore your DRM keys.

You can read about here, and if you haven't done a TA backup, please, read this thread.

Hope it helps, I relock my bootloader last week using a TA backup with Windows 7 (only W7, in W10 won't work, you can use VMWare)

Greetings and sorry for my bad english.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
I don't think its possible. U need to downgrade..

Flash kitkat 314 something blah blah ftf via flashtool. Copy PureX Z2 v7 rom to ur phone internal storage.

Root 314 firmware and install NUT dual recovery. No need to boot ur phone into blah blah..

Then go to recovery

Wipe data / factory reset and flash rom. Done

Installed this rom after phone went nuts and suddenly fell into a bootloop out of the blue...

Must say that although it probably hasn't settled yet, it seems pretty fast.

I haven't noticed any lag.

Whether battery life is good enough or not, I can't really tell, since I will have to wait for the rom to settle first.

But so far so good. If nothing weird happens, this will be my daily driver for a couple of weeks at least.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
you can always just do a dirty flash but if you run into any problems, then do a fresh install i.e. wipe data / factory reset and Flash v7.

good luck!

Anyone else having freezing issues?

First of all, I love this ROM. Switched from Existenz a few iterations back because I was having problems with random freezes through several versions and PX solved that completely. The community on this thread is great too!

A few days ago (still on v6 at the time) I started getting occasional freezes on PX. Did a clean install of v7 yesterday, that seemed to return my Z2 to stability, but started happening again this afternoon. Just wondering if it's something about my hardware or personal config, or if anyone else has been having similar issues.

D6503, clean install, mods are Black UI, camera, and sound only, no Xposed or Dolby etc.

Thanks to all.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
Thank you for appreciating this simple rom by [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] bro. I have a D6503 and have clean installed the rom, using black system ui, xposed etc and haven't experienced any freezes yet. It is strange but if you are having freezes from both the roms then there might be something else. Do one thing, flash a pre rooted ftf or rom and check for 2 or 3 days.

Good luck!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nicholasknicks:
I thought I was the only one ...yes there are a few freezes on the Rom when using black ui especially when switching between messages. On white UI everything works fine

To confirm [MENTION=631610]spuri78[/MENTION] try changing the SMS wallpaper of a contact when using black ui and see what happens
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] trakk:
Hi all,

I'm experiencing the same issue with freezes on v6. Did a clean install and few days it were no any bugs or freezes.

I've already tried to reinstall v6 with clean system, cache and art partitions without any MODs and with xposed disabled. But no luck. Freezes continue to happen.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
I can confirm that I got freeze when trying to apply a conversation wallpaper while on black ui and was able to change the conversation wallpaper on white ui and didn't encounter any issue. So, looks like there is a bug inside the black themed sms app. Did you encounter freezes with any other black ui app? Anyways, [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] bro will add a fix for it in the add on section soon.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Need to provide a bit more information mate i.e what action you were trying to do before the freeze etc.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] trakk:
Actually there is almost nothing to add :)

I've got freezes during SMS app usage, during stock dialer usage, during making calls and once just being on home screen.

When I reinstalled v6 on clean system partition I'm not applied any addons. So now I'm on white UI and already got several freezes since reflash today morning.

This behavior begun last one or two day. Previously everything was fine.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
Hi

Today confirmed freez with Black themed conversation app. Already fixed it. Will release AIO ADD ON AROMA v2 soon. With PureX Z2 v8 support.. So after releasing PureX Z2 v8 i don't need to upload Aroma mod again..

Btwn i have used v6, v7 since months without any frezes on white ui. I can confirm freezes for black themed sms app only. All other black themed apps working perfectly.. No problem with white themed apps..

i really dnt know if its tha sms app too here but experiencing lots of freeze... sometimes when i reboot my phone, it ll turn on & boot but wont be able to use tha phone except i force off it & sometimes while using tha phone n it gets locked, i wont be able to unlock it. reflashed rom so many times!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
Are u using black apps? There is no freez with white apps. And only freez is black themed sms apps. Thats also fixed now..

Are u using any other mods? Which xposed modules u using? The freez really came with one of ur app or backup files. Not from rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mondeo-rs:
So i came from existens and got a lot of freeze with both roms . I used nextlauncher at this time but after change to nova, no freeze at all.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] whalesplaho:
using tha following xposed module;

- serajr blurred systemui & xperia xposed

- Xinsta & instagram themer

- Music to Walkman

- Unicon

- VolumeSteps+.................................. no mods except viper4android & dolby atmos as i do use, modded systemui by me & also black apps!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
Yep, as already confirmed by [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] bro, there is nothing wrong with the white UI add on or the ROM itself. Have been running v7 and have not experienced any freeze on white UI. This has been beaten to death in niaboc's thread and here as well. If you are experiencing freezes, either produce a logcat or do a fresh install or look into your xposed modules you are running and untick them one by one. You can also flash a pre rooted ftf and see how that goes with your usual set up.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

Bro, I'm running serajr blurred systemui & xperia xposed and Unicon with no issues. Maybe the other modules. Only way to find out is disable them one by one and test it for few days.

There is a weird problem that i have been facing after this ROM.

Installed v7.0 cleanly, then played music, changed volume everything is fine.

Then i connect my earphone, volume goes to peek level, no matter if we changes the volume to the 0th level, it's still at max volume.

Then removed the earphone, play music on speaker, volume is now at its max level, volume controller has no effect.

Problem continues even after restart.

Is there any way this ROM could be responsible for affecting SDcard access or function?

I suddenly kept getting the message "SD card is damaged" and my Z2 went bananas. Recovery was lost, and it kept reinstalling the firmware over and over. If I turned it off as soon as I connected the charger it powered on and went through another installation.

I had to reflash again from scratch. I'm now on 5.1.1 546 and am hesitant to install v7.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

There were no problems on v6.

The word RESPONSIBLE.. Hmmmm... Pls don't use that word my friend.. I and my roms are not responsible for anything that u doing in ur mobile... Its ur own RESPONSIBILITY.. Not mine.. U r the first one that reporting this and u r full responsible for that..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ugumba:
The exact(!) same thing happened to me once.

However, I've had freezes in several other situations, and I can find no pattern, except that it usually happens when touching or flicking the screen. From memory:

- while browsing Google Play

- scrolling in Chrome

- clicking an app name in the data usage screen

Trying to reproduce never works ?

I have V7 white, no mods/xposed, and disabled most accessibility/administrators.

The freeze is rare (1-2 times a day), but always severe. Long power press (20s) does nothing - I have to turn off with the little red switch.

I'm not going to blame this particular ROM - I had similar issues with Existenz, I switched partly hoping Pure worked better.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mondeo-rs:
Can't throw Musik wirh WiFi, any ideas? Only Rom v7 with add ons, no exposed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Th3DON:
Thats an awesome fix. New Enhancement is more cool :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hardcoremildred:
Normally it should be fine to press Power + VolumeUp for about 3 seconds to reboot the phone.

I experience similar crashes&freezes (always in chrome), but as I did a dirty flash and am using xposed this is not a valid report, just mentioned the chrome-issue because I was answering to ugumba anyway.

The Rom is nice, fast, fluid and battery-friendly.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
I don't know what to say.. I never faced any freez in v6 or v7 and now running v8.. No freezes and nothing..

And u can't blame this "particular" rom. U don't have any rights to blame my friend.. ;)

U have faced freezes with two roms. So try any other roms and see if u getting freez. Let me know..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] TharakaKS:
Oh great. When v8 comes?

I'm using this rom(white one) little while with xposed. No freezes and nothing.. I'm getting a little bit overheating than Stock one while browsing. But it's fine.

And battery life is awesome. I post some screens below.

Thanks

Edit: Image Enhancement is not working for me. No differences between off and X-Reality and Super-Vivid.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
That's awesome dude.. Version 8 will come after 2 months... Its ready and running fine. But not going to release soon.. ;)

Look guys.. Just post some feedback about this rom. I am asking because i want to know how many users getting freezes... 60% peoples downloading and disappearing. I am not asking for THANKS. i am asking some small FEEDBACKS..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptmaniac:
Rajeev bro honestly i had a few freezes on V6 and V7 too, mostly when returning to home screen with the home key, but it also froze while on standby twice.

I never mentioned them before because i use a lot of xposed modules and assumed the freezes came from there. But i used the same modules in V5 and never had any freezes... maybe it is related to the black theme bug you already found and fixed.

Anyway i'll just wait for V8 since you already fixed this, if any freezes persist with V8 then i'll try to debug where they are coming from and post logs.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nextmouk:
I have been using this rom, v6 for a week and didn't find the need to go v7 while awaiting v8... I didn't experience any freeze using conversations.apk with black themed apps thus didn't experience anything wrong at all... Also been using 3 Xposed modules and Dolby sound mod, without any issue... Keep up the great work!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajaasim1980:
Same here as i am also using v6 and its speedy, faster without any lags or freezing so never felt the need to try V7. I never faced a single freeze since i am using it from day of release but then i dont use unnecessary Mods except some popular stable ones. I was only worry about stage fright virus but i did flashed sony fix from their latest .232 and now there is no vulnerability so i will wait for probably last lollipop build .232 in pure v8 :D

Interesting thought. I posted earlier about a number of random freezes. My device is unlocked.

For the past few days, I've disabled start on boot for a lot of apps (including some in system), using CleanMaster.

V7 has been rock solid since.

I've also relaxed the low memory killer values significantly, and removed most of the init.d scripts. They were incredibly aggressive, even killing my active app on a number of occasions, without being particularly low on memory.

These freeze issues are incredibly hard to diagnose, since they appear completely random. We all use some root apps, use various configuration changes etc. The number of potential causes is massive... But the above seems to have helped a lot for me!
