[Sony Xperia M2] 420 Ghost:
no need to take it personally, maybe ill try it again but i tried many times to bring up the magnifier and absolutley nothing happened and i did have a feeling that the google thing was still there lol but no i didnt update it that solves that one as for the apn issue tbh i didnt see the bug list and i think the fc's in messaging was something to do with the restore data from other device thing on first run it did it to me twice when i hit it by accident (i have large fingers) nothing major but worth noting and all location services were on and on high accuracy and still it wouldnt get my location the option to use it wasnt even there and you try typing saltwood into it that doesnt even work on stock lol

i did like some things like the quick settings widget (although somewhat redundant) that you can remove the social media rubbish and that it doesnt take up much memory but im a moany old so and so, my bad that i only stated the bad points

to answer your question i would like a stable fully functioning rom thats deodexed much slimmer than stock but not too much removed from the xperia experience as otherwise i would buy a nexus and with some features that the lower end phones dont get it would be even better if i could use the backup from stock firmware for my apps, i also wanna know where smart wifi went? i had it on xperia s but maybe i havent looked hard enough :P

well done if you have fixed the apn issue i may try again if you can promise i will not run into the same problems again and thanks for the theme saved me some time looking

Next stable update

When will there be a stable version after 4.0?or atleast with 18.2. If i flash the 1 in OP it shows .175 but i have .182:confused:
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Probably in few weeks. (I want to release 4.5 to public before this month ends.)

If you install Z5 STYLE 4.0 on top of .182, you've nothing to worry about, it's just messed up because of the build.prop, so you can just ignore it until the build.prop gets updated in a new release.

Hi everybody, on Xperia Z5 v4.5b3 for me not work the binares update of supersu, i install on new time supersu and supersu key and now update binares. sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But is this a problem, or you mean you solved it?
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Updated to 4.5b3 and all is well! No bugs or anything, I just uninstalled the bloat apps I didn't want :D The only inconvenience was that I had to reinstall xposed, and that only took 3 seconds. Also call recording isn't working, sad cause I was looking forward to it.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Oh, did you activated it inside Settings > Call > Call Recording? Working fine, at least here.

EDIT: Remember that automatic call recording is not allowed, so you need to manually hit the 'Record' button while the call is being made...
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
How stupid of me, please forgive my ignorance. I thought it was enabled by default. It works perfectly!
[Sony Xperia M2] swnny:
Really glad to see the new version. Flashed it just now, plus the SkyNet mod. Hope it works as good as the old one. Will test it tonight and will post more feedback tomorrow. Thank you!

Miracast

If anybody has a problem with Screen Mirroring on latest beta version, or i am the only one? I try to connect to my LG tv and everything is going ok, phone is detected by tv correctly, it begins connecting but just before screen starts to be copied phone freezes and bang - reboot :( i tried it several times and always the same situation, earlier on stock rooted KK 4.4.4 everything was ok ;/ i instaled version 4.0 and then manually flashes zip to latest beta according to tutorial in first post, didn't mess with any system apps since upgrade, so i don't know what is the problem :(
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Guys, I don't have any appropriate hardware to test this issue.

As far as I know, it uses some qualcomm qwud service if I recall correctly, maybe that's faulty due to the deodex.

If any of you is able to take a logcat and/or kernel messages (dmesg) of this, I'd have a look at it with no problem.

Also, I'd recommend all of you with this exact problem to try [MENTION=5264045]Gaurav007[/MENTION] 's Z1c deodexed to rom to test if this happens there, because as you know, I'm using that rom as base, so if it fails there, it will fail in this rom too.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
It works on the z2 port use it myself not sure about the z1c port though, sure you ain't just missing the required apk/files don't forget linuxct has heavily de-bloated his Z5 style rom so it maybe missing.
[Sony Xperia M2] peooha:
I don't know whether the reason may be the missing app or files, because I don't have possibillity to compare the contents of original and this rom. However i remember that when i was earlier on 4.0 version without screen mirroring option i have installed this mod

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/development/stock-dark-mod-apps-xperia-m2-t3254709

And nothing worked, just like now - freeze and then reboot, so i restore my backup and stay at 4.0v without SM :(
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Yep. I'm making a backup now. I've crash logs of everything, even the dmesg looks weird, got a media server up and running in the laptop, which even gives me possibility to take logs of itself. If this fails as well in Z1c base then I've nothing to do until I switch to Z2.

I see, it's fine. As I said above, I'm now able to test, will report back.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
[MENTION=3723240]peooha[/MENTION] and all the crew with 'Screen Mirroring' troubles, nothing less than expected, the system halts in the same way and behavior in the Z1c deodexed rom from [MENTION=5264045]Gaurav007[/MENTION] as in Z5 STYLE 4.5b3, so I'm sorry to say I can't fix this. However, I plan to change the base to the Z2 deodex port in 5.0, so be patient until then ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] peooha:
Ok, i will wait then :) i hope new base of rom will solve that fault, cause it was function used by me quite often and btw thank you for rapid interest in the problem ;]
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Yep just double checked working fine on z2 port there's about 5 apks all with somc mirror in the name in sys/priv app think it's only the apks add I originally installed the de-bloated version of z2 port but was missing to many features so added all the apks manually from the zip

The ringtone is too low,if someone ring me i can't hear it and call voice is really low too,if i talk on street i can't hear it.I have Xperia Tipo and the problem is same as M2

P.s I edit the mixer path,effect - nothing....
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
What about in Stock 18.6.A.0.182 rom? Is it still too low? We all have different concepts of "loudness", and in my device I would even say it's way too loud, so...

And, I still own my Xperia Tipo, and it's loudspeaker is way better than the M2 one, it's something we can't fix.

Enviado desde mi XPERIA M2 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia M2] TheEvil332:
Ahmm,on Tipo the sound was better, but loud.In. 175 and. 182 is the same.On Kitkat have a little diffeerence,but is too low.Old Nokia phone has more ringer sound away better than our smartphone.I don't understand :D

P.S For example Samsung have better sound and voice quality,huh?

P.s.s The proximity sensor in call works, but in diagnostic tab failed :D
[Sony Xperia M2] ismael030885:
Xperia Z5 v4.5b3 the device gets very hot when I play 8ball pool or beach buggy racing , this did not happen with v4.0 there any solution ?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But you can't compare an indestructible Nokia with this, anyways, it's not my fault and I can't solve it.

K then, take some logcats and kernel messages so that I can't have a look at it.

Hello All Can't Download 4.5b3.access denied

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
When modding the Settings APK, I left the dual sim options on purpose only for D2302, and the apk is substituted while copying the build.prop, so as Gaurav's said, if it doesn't work with that patch, try with older 4.5b2 Settings. If it displays, I'll need to revise it.

Thank you for you hard work LinuxCT. I'm downloading this rom right now.

But I've one question for you:

I've seen that you've learned (recovery, roms, etc..) so much about this phone. So is it possible to somehow make CM rom to work on LB? If I remember correctly there are roms based on CM that are working on Xperia SP devices with LB.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Start over. Flashing 5.1.1 from the beggining. What's your device? By curiosity...

I'm not sure if that would be possible... Xperia M2 is much more secure & restricted since it's a newer device than the SP... And making a CM using Sony kernel is impossible, for sure...

First OTA now rolling!

Tonight, a new OTA is being pushed to all betatesters.

It contains some minor bugfixes, such as the OTA OpenRecoveryScript support, and also some optimizations that you might notice by yourself ;)

To download and install it, you just need to get into the OTA Updater app, and wait until you get your confirmation to dowload it. Once it's downloaded, it'll prompt you with some 'Wipes' you might want to do, but in this case none of them is needed, so leave them unchecked. Next step is reboot.

Once you hit reboot, the phone will freeze and self-reboot (maybe a SU request appears, so hit Yes). When you see the blue LED blink while on the Sony logo, hit the VOL+ key to trigger TWRP. Once you see the interface, hit the Install button, choose the Internal memory from the menu at the bottom, and then go into the folder /OTA-Updater/download/ROM/xperia_z5_style_beta_channel__4.5b3_f1.zip. Choose it (it should be the unique one over there), flash it and reboot.

Once you get back in the system, check with the OTA Updater app if the upgrade went fine, and in case it's all fine, delete the OTA zip file from the location you chose it, to avoid conflicts with next OTAs. Altough, with next time you won't need to do that again, since the ORS bug is fixed. :)

Enjoy!
