[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohamed_mans:
Hi friends ,

after upgrading to lollipop i faced this problem

there is no option for choosing ringtones for the two SIM cards

only one option which already acts for the first SIM and the other one rings with another ringtone which there is no option to change it.

it kills me , i tried every thing but no result.

i need your help pls.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetsmoke69:
Cant seem to change standard ringtone at all. Whatever ringtone I choose it always rings with the annoying Huawei standard tone.

The only thing which works perfect is to set individual ringtones per contact.

edit: weird, but if you change the ringtone through the music app - it work's. still something to fix by the Huawei devs...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohamed_mans:
It changed for the first SIM only not for the two SIM.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohamed_mans:
i made a factory rest ,

but the problem still exist

pls. i cant use this phone like that.:confused:

any ideas or applications
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrayhi:
hey guys i had same problem the only solution i have for you is you can change the ringtone default from each person contact profile . you will find default option and you can change it . and its work and i think there is should some app for ringtone profile default on playstore .
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj26282:
I had same problem, after update to lollipop my ringtones and notification tone has gone too. :confused: i did factory reset but its not works. So i checked ringtones file...its 0 file :p

So i manage to pull some ringtones and notif tones from my ascend p6. And copy to my mate 7.

Since i can't post any links here, maybe i can share the link of p6 ringtone. Just PM me or email to jj26282@gmail.com i'll give the google drive link to share the audio file. I hope it can help who have the same problem.

Sorry for my english, its not my native.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] UrbanLagoon:
It's Google play services. Reinstall it and it should be fixed. I had same problem until 2 days ago
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
Thanks Urban. Will try when I get home this evening and report back if it fixes the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
Hey Urban. I tried reinstalling Play services and it's still sticking battery like crazy. Do you have any other ideas? The phone is literally not sleeping at all. I'm wondering if there might be any good non-root apps out there that can identify what's keeping the phone awake?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxTheFlyingNutxx:
I'm having the exact same issue and at the point where the battery is draining so bad that even when plugged in, it still counts down. I'm going to back everything up and attempt a factory reset and I'll let you know if it helps at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
My battery started sucking again too. It was ok last week, but started draining fast this week.

Make sure you give your phone like 3 days before reporting success or failure after your factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
Hey thanks bro. Please let me know what happens. I can hardly wait for 6.0 to come out. Doze will put a lot of this craziness to rest and improve battery life greatly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxTheFlyingNutxx:
Alright so the back up, reset, and restore went smoothly. And the battery is at least counting upward when plugged in so I think I'd call that some pretty intense progress. Though even then it not definite proof that it works 100% how I'd like it to, it's too soon to tell. I'll keep everyone updated if it starts acting up over the next few days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
Did u just back up your apps and data via Google?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxTheFlyingNutxx:
Nawh I used Samsung smart switch on my computer, though I think everything was already backed up regardless through Google so I had it in 2 places. Either way I got everything I needed back and so far my battery isn't doing so bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
Ok cool. I might consider trying that. Would you mind reporting back in a couple of days and let me know if the battery seams to be doing any better? I hate to go through the pain of a factory reset unless it looks like it will help... lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxTheFlyingNutxx:
Well I can say for sure that the battery is better than it was. I still have all the same apps and use it just as much as I did - if not more. I charge it to 100% before leaving the house for the day and usually the phone would be dead before I got home but it's currently at 32%, so it's progress. Used to be at like 70% when I got home before the update but at least it gets me through the day. I think it's worth giving a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
I had a thought as to what might be causing my battery drain. I'm wondering if it might be because I don't have a SIM card in the phone? I have been using my nexus 5 as a daily driver for the last couple weeks. I'm wondering if because the phone doesn't have a SIM that it's constantly searching for a signal or trying to maintain connection to at&t's servers for software updates or something? Do you think this may be what's keeping the phone from sleeping?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxTheFlyingNutxx:
Honestly I couldn't tell you for sure but I do have a SIM and the phone is constantly for me too. I assume that there's a bigger problem that we still don't know about that is preventing the phone from sleeping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
Well I popped my SIM in and let it sit all afternoon and what do you know.... It finally slept! Seems like not having the SIM in keeps the phone awake for some reason? Really weird but at least the issue seems to be resolved for the time being
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxTheFlyingNutxx:
Coincidentally I also got an update in the security policy for my phone from at&t and it said it changed around app permissions so maybe it kept them from staying awake because I just checked the graph thing and my phone isn't awake as much. Right now there are too many factors to single out what one thing it is that is helping the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nightowl67:
I was having the exact same issues. At work I was sitting at my desk and after about a half hour, with my phone in my pocket and not touching it, my leg would start to feel warm. So, since I'm not allowed to pull my phone out and look at it, I waited till I was on break. In 2.5 hours my phone went from 98% to 68%. So, I restarted my phone and went back to work. After an hour, my leg started warming up again. I tried to ignore it but I was getting scared it might blow up in my pocket. I went to the bathroom to just shut the phone off until break and it was at 36% after just 2 more hours.

This all started after the 5.1.1 update and only at work. So I downloaded Gsam Pro and Usage Timelines Pro and tried to find out what was going on.

Turns out it only was happening when I was at work AND had Bluetooth turned on. I guess that's because I turn on Bluetooth while at work to watch movies off my Plex Server and listen with my Bluetooth headphones. I turned off Bluetooth and use my tablet (running 5.1.1 with 0 problems) at work instead. So far so good and it's been a week.

I would like to point out that in 8 hours at work, before the upgrade, my phone used to go from 100% to 75 with light usage and bad wifi signal. It's now back to those percentages after turning Bluetooth off.

Also, neither battery monitoring program showed Bluetooth as the culprit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] acts4:12:
I have had my Bluetooth settings turned off today. The phone seems to be sleeping perfectly and I've had 3.5 hrs SOT with 35% battery left. Considering much of the SOT was gaming I think that's pretty acceptable.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centaury02:
Hello all,

I rooted my Xperia SP and had installed the Cyanogenmod 11 (last stable-ish release, milestone or something) successfully.

After being encouraged by a co-worker that the nightly builds are pretty safe too, I installed a 12.1 nightly (can't remember which, though).

After that I couldn't reboot to bootloader any more to back up my phone.

I can select it in the reboot menu, but the phone will just cycle into a normal reboot and start Cyanogen.

Being brave I installed another nightly (current version: 12.1-20151010-NIGHTLY-huashan), hoping that would help.

It didn't, but luckily that version works, too.

Otherwise the phone works well, but I would like to be able to reboot into the bootloader to create a system backup, before I install more nightlies.

Rebooting into recovery works. However, have no backup option there.

To clarify: booting into bootloader is not necessarily what I want, it's the backup option that I'm after.

On the other hand, this not working properly is kind of a red flag, so I want to make sure nothing is going sideways...

Any advice would be much appreciated! :)

Thanks!

Merlin
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenith:
I guess you're confusing recovery with bootloader,

The default recovery CM12.1 and other CM based ROMs come with is "Cyanogen Recovery" which is not very popular coz it lacks many features.

Anyways, TWRP is a pretty good recovery that allows you to backup, restore, etc, and it even has it's own file manager. Download the latest recovery from here and flash it via CM recovery, it will replace CM recovery with TWRP.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centaury02:
Hi Zenith,

thanks for your quick reply! I'll give it a shot and report here if it worked.

I don't think I confuse the two, though.

When I choose reboot, I get to select (amongst the usual) "Bootloader" or "Recovery".

"Recovery" gives me a menu (after reboot) where I could theoretically roll back to a previous backup for example.

"Bootloader" earlier gave me a text-based menu, where I could back my system up, now I can't reach this any more. The phone simply boots Cyanogenmod again.

Anyway, thanks and I'll try out TWRP! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenith:
well... the TWRP recovery is all you need if you wanna backup your system and restore later.

You won't need to use the 'Reboot to bootloader' option.

and Welcome :)

Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centaury02:
Hi Zenith again,

I downloaded the zip-file and booted my cell phone into recovery mode.

Then I chose "Apply update" and the zip-file I had just downloaded.

It showed me a success, rebooting into recovery mode gave me the exact same menu ("Cyanogen recovery").

I probably did something wrong, but what?

Can you point me in the right direction, please?

Thx!

Edit: choosing "reboot to bootloader" in the recovery menu reboots the phone as before (not into bootloader)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
Make sure you didn't select 'update cyanogenmod recovery' in the developer option, then go to http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/ubl-twrp-f2fs-support-xperia-sp-huashan-t3150230 ,download the zip and flash it with cyanogenmod recovery. You can now live happily ever after with cyanogenmod and twrp recovey.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electro_nik:
flash it back to stock rom and then root it via towelroot and installa superSU also check with any app if your phone is rooted or not then check if bootloader is unlocked and after that flash doomkernel (latest verson) after that flash any rom you want to test
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centaury02:
[MENTION=6944590]steveglowplunk[/MENTION]:

Thanks, that was what obviously kept replacing the recovery module.

I used the zip-file that Zenith linked to initially, though. It worked fine after that (hence the thank you to both of you).

[MENTION=6149546]electro_nik[/MENTION]:

I didn't want to go through the whole process again. I'm sure your way would give me back the original bootloader, but as long as I can create a backup, I think I'm fine. Thanks though! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
Also never forget to CHECK ROOT ACCESS FOR ADB and USB DEBUGGING in the developer option. It can always save both your life and your phone's life when your phone is bricked :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
Layers Manager now supports the 5x making this thread redundant. You can find the beta here:

https://plus.google.com/117376207394302665227/posts/P5Z41eL57bz

Still exercise caution when applying Layers.

Here is a small guide on theming your device using the built in "theme engine" a.k.a. "RRO" until it's properly supported with Layers Manager.

Do not attempt this unless your are prepared to do a factory reset or reflash a boot.img in a worst case scenario.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Requirements.

Root: LINK

BusyBox: LINK (Optional but recommended for future use).

Root file explorer.

Layers themes: LINK

Layers showcase: LINK

To filter themes:

Select hamburger menu in the upper left.

Choose free/paid layers.

Click menu in upper right.

Select "Android Version" and pick "M".

Steps.

Gain root.

Install BusyBox open the app and click "Install" (see screenshot below).

Use a root file explorer (I use root explorer) to create a folder named "overlay" in "system/vendor" and set its permissions to 775 (see screenshot below).

Download theme/s. TIP do this through your browser to view the package name in the address bar as it will make things easier on the next step.

example:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[B][SIZE="4"]com.dully79.graphite[/SIZE][/B]&hl=en

Using the file explorer navigate to "data/app" and locate the theme you installed.

Inside the folder you will find an apk named "base.apk", copy the apk to your sdcard.

Click the apk and select "view"

Navigate to "assets>Files" and extract the zip/s.

Extract the apks from the extracted zip and copy the desired overlays to the overlay folder we created earlier.

Reboot.

PLEASE NOTE. THE FRAMEWORK LAYER IN GRAPHITE IS UNSUPPORTED AT THIS TIME. DO NOT USE IT.

Problems?.

Until we can view the vendor folder from recovery, here is how to fix a troublesome layer.

Navigate to the overlay folder and delete the layer/s that is causing the issue.

As a last resort, If you cannot gain access to the overlay folder we need to do a factory reset or reflash the boot.img.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
Yay! Thank you sir.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Pikezer1337:
Whoa so this is actually the first time I've ever heard of layers or RRO. This is a gamechanger. So a theme like this(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitsykolayers.vividcolorwhite&hl=en) would work? Can you combine themes? One that changes navigation bar and one that changes colors in the system?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
Yes, depending on the priority of the layers we are able to stack them. If you have layer (A) that changes the status bar with priority 60, and another layer (B) that changes the same resources with a higher priority, layer B will override A.

But do your self a favour and dont apply anything that isnt officially marshmallow supported.

If you get yourself into problems you may have to factory reset, ive had to do 3 times today testing my theme.

Once we can get into the overlay folder from recovery, troublesome layers wont be a problem.:good:
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Pikezer1337:
Thanks for the response! Have you found any themes that support 6.0 yet?

I downloaded the layers manager app and it says it supports marshmellow already.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
Layers manager does support 6.0 on most devices, just not this hence the steps to extract.

We need to wait for an update.

If you download the Layers showcase app you can filter themes that are compatible with 6.0:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.showcase&hl=en
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Pikezer1337:
Ehh having trouble getting any theme to work. I'll wait a bit until the app is updated
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
What are your EXACT steps?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Pikezer1337:
So I downloaded and installed busybox. I then used three different themes that were compatible with 6.0. I used root browser to create a folder in system/vendor called "overlay" The downloaded themes I downloaded from Google Play are in Data/app. I took the apk and clicked it and hit view. Then I went into assets and took the zip folder and extracted it. I took all the apks and put them into the overlay folder. Then I rebooted and nothing happened. I tried timberwolf, skywolf, and inversion UI.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
Did you set the priority for the overlay folder at 775?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Pikezer1337:
Yup!

Would you mind trying any of those themes to see if you were able to get them working?

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Nice, got it working. Turns out I wasnt setting the permissions of the apks. Thanks for the help! Do you know any compatible themes for the navigation bar
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
No idea mate, i dont get time to try anyones theme other than my own.:(
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
this one and this one work.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] craigacgomez:
It is possible to use Layers Manager to install/uninstall Layers/RRO themes. Here's how you do it:

1. Install a Terminal emulator/use adb shell

2. Remount the vendor partition as rw (read/write)

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /vendor

3. Open Layers Manager and install/uninstall your chosen Layers/RRO theme

4. Reboot and enjoy!

Also, a factory reset will not clear any themes installed in /vendor/overlay. You can just flash the vendor image from the factory image to remove all installed themes (no need to wipe)

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
do we need to run this command every time we want to install or remove a layer, if we dont want to copy paste into /overlay?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] craigacgomez:
For the moment, yes!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] caulton:
I tried the above method and it did not work for me
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Ken Yeh:
Thanks for post

:):):):):):)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
[MENTION=2322613]craigacgomez[/MENTION] Getting the theme on to the device isn't really the problem, it's removing them.

Until we are able to view the vendor partition from recovery were playing with fire.

And I never said a factory reset will remove any themes, it will put a stop to persistent fcs like SystemUI. I had to do this 3 times yesterday and twice the day before. :(

Edit: I forgot to say, the reason I say factory reset is because it can be done without the need for a cable and pc to fastboot flash an image. :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] craigacgomez:
It's not necessarily true that a factory reset will get rid of SystemUI FCs if you use a theme that is not M-compatible. But, yes, it could fix many other reasons for FCs.

Isn't it possible to get the image with dd and mount it afterwards?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ohussain:
Thank you

Great guide, very straightforward.

I'm just using two individual layers at the moment to tweak the navbar/softkeys, and Google Now launcher, and it's working great! (I did try one full theme which was supposed to be 6.0 compatible, and noticed some visual artifacts - the theme probably needs to be updated.)

Thanks for taking the time to document the procedure, hope it cuts down on some of the noise over at BitSyko on G+. ;)

PS I forgot to mention this when I posted initially: in the fourth point of your guide ('Layers theme: LINK') did you mean to link to the Layers Showcase app? The link you've included just returns a listing of layers items on the Play store, and of course there's no hamburger menu or advanced filtering possible there.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ohussain:
Why do we need busybox installed?

QUERY: Does anyone know why busybox needs to be installed for layers to work on stock Marshmallow? It's obvious why root is required, but I'm unclear about what aspect of layers requires busybox. We're not using the Layers Manager app, so do the themes/layers themselves rely on it somehow?

Not questioning the guide, just want to gain a better understanding. ;)

Thanks! :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
I'm just reporting my tried and tested methods, feel free to use what you're comfortable with.

You're welcome.

I've no idea what that is.

Yes I need to fix/add the link. And I doubt the senseless posts will subside in G+.

Please hide your pictures using the hide tags, it makes navigating the thread easier.

Installing busybox is a pre-emptive strike. As soon as layers manager works as it should on the 5x I know what will happen next. I'm giving you the environment for seamless integration. If you want to install busybox later that's your choice.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ohussain:
Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate it. :)

I've used layers extensively on lollipop ROMs such as XenonHD, but was never aware of the Layers Manager's dependence on busybox.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Thaodan:
Dd is a tool to copy a raw file, so as I you can read the the vendor partition on your device you should be able to read it with dd so for example like this:

dd if=<path to vendor partition> of=/sdcard/vendor.img
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
Does it enable us to read it from recovery in twrp?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Thaodan:
if you are able to read the device file. But even if not, you'll get an image that you can use in recovery.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
All that needs to be done in a worst case scenario is to boot into recovery and remove apk/s.

As the vendor partition is "ro", its viewed as a file and not a folder in both adb shell or twrp file manager.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Thaodan:
can you don't mount it rw?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dully79:
I haven't had any luck.

I've updated the OP with a link for working Layers Manager.:victory:
