How told me. I DONT HAVE HOME IN SETTINGS!!
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
You already have the answer which one to use from myself and the link from where to get it from, from linuxcts last post. If you can't figure it out maybe you should stick to a totally stock device.

[Sony Xperia M2] FrWhyMe:
Working indeed , thanks for looking into it :) !

Looking forward for the next updates , keep up the great work ;) !
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
The description of what is in the beta version is no longer told. What is in it and are the minor updates more frequent?
[Sony Xperia M2] 31fahmi:
I hope you can explain this

I got a very tiny operator name below soft key

And also, why hell i cannot set Google Home Launcher? I really like him

Edit:

Google Home Launcher has been fixed, now i want you to explain that tiny operator name below soft key
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
I have no such thing on my phone
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
First: Don't use that kind of language on XDA. I guess it's language differences But, linuxct doesn't have to explain anything, he spends time to do this for Us and for free so at least He deserves a little respect :)

Second: Probably it's SystemUI bug on Dual while changing some dimensions so it looks like N and there a lot od dimensions reused in SystemUI so it affects the lockscreen career name.

You should have another SystemUI in system/priv-app/SystemUI so change it and see if you have same bug. :)

Good Luck!

Sent from my XPERIA M2
[Sony Xperia M2] 31fahmi:
my bad for having dual sim model :(

sorry if you offended with my word, but it just my habit for something that i don't understand

but what do you mean for using another systemui? like i'm replacing mine with gaurav's? because on his rom i didn't get any bug on systemui, just a lil' bug on camera
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
I meant this (see screenshot) delete SystemUI.apk then rename SystemUI.old to SystemUI.apk, do it in recovery.

Good Luck
[Sony Xperia M2] Gruberek:
Is there a chance to repair the manual selection of the operator? I would use this soft but without this function can not.
[Sony Xperia M2] 31fahmi:
Would somebody try it for me? Because I don't have enough time to try it righ now
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Current beta release equals current stable release in term of contents. The only difference is that current betatesters will maintain their betatester status if they don't switch to the stable release channel.

Carriers shouldn't be present there, since at least Android 4.4.

Try replacing the SystemUI, as [MENTION=3652480]Dzepar[/MENTION] said, by yourself, since there are few people with a D2302 using Xperia Z5 STYLE right now.

There's not in the near future, but I keep trying to fix it.
[Sony Xperia M2] 31fahmi:
Okay thank for your information

I will try when i got a time
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
I just installed this room and wanted to put a 3rd party launcher (Google now launcher) and there are no homescreen options, but when I click directly on the launcher to launch it it takes me to the homescreen options but there is only one option and that is the Xperia home.

Is this a bug or is it intended to be like this?

Edit: Somehow nova launcher works.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I noticed it, seems to be a particular Google Now Launcher issue, since all other launchers work perfectly fine.

Probably related to the entry in Settings, since this launcher refuses to show in there.

Try also rebooting your device... Good luck!
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
Yeah this happened to me already in z5 style 4.0 and also in stock sony software Google now launcher refuses to allow transparent navbar. Thanks anyways.
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
Wiped dalvik cache, works now. Got the idea after trying to reboot.
[Sony Xperia M2] Devaanp:
Help

Can you help me, I have problem when charging offline...

It happen since I using kitkat stock rom, lollipop stock rom, then this rom, so when I plug my charger and turn off my phone it wont offline charge, just displaying sony logo, booting screen and going to my lockscreen.. I tried turn off my phone several times but it still same (like restart)

I tried another way like turn off my phone first then plug my charger but it still restarting...

and I think it's because 3rd party application like my kernel tool app, busybox installer or maybe some cleaner app because everytime I flashing new stock rom it doing normal offline charging

I know this is not your rom bug or problem but maybe can you help me what wrong with my phone..

thank you :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
I don't understand. What are they testing if it is the same?
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
I've Xperia M2 Dual D2302. Previously I had this bug of not sticking network into 2G mode. It was always on 3G. Is this fixed in the new version? I don't need 3G as i'm always connected to wifi networks.
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
Everytime I reboot my phone, my phone is always optimizing the application..

How could I fix that?

:confused:

And I have no cat in the latest theme picker lol :D

I don't know why the cat dissappears
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Try wipe cache,dalvik cache and data
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
I've done all of it, but the problems still exist..

Always optimizing application and the cat in the themes picker is missing
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
The "android is starting" at every boot is due to the cache being wiped by fstrim I think it is, it's in the system/etc/init.d folder. I could be wrong though. As for the cat missing from the theme picker it's there on my M2 but I'm not using z5 style rom I'm running a very modified version of gauravs z2 port I'm also using Xperia x settings apk+theme picker+Xperia x themes
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
Well, thanks mate..

But let's forget about the cat, what should I do to fix the "android is starting" thing?

So you say that the init.d is missing or something?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No.

To fix it you must reinstall the ROM from scratch (starting by flashing a FTF).

What?

If you've WiFi, then disable Mobile Data connections, and you'll even use less battery.

Also, the toggle under Settings, More, Mobile Networks, Preferred Network type, works fine, AFAIK.

Not happening here, and I usually charge my phone during nights while powered off, showing ChargeMon.

Probably a fresh install of the ROM might solve it.

I think I didn't explain this enough times already... /uj

The BETA is currently the SAME as the Stable one since there's NOTHING NEW to test. If a new major upgrade that requires

IMO

further testing comes out, the current betatesters will be able to test new functionalities after an OTA Upgrade, or by downloading a Flashable Zip.

As of right now, 31/05/2016, new inscriptions to the Betatest program are CLOSED (since there's NOTHING TO TEST right now), but, if a new update gets pushed to betatesters, then be sure the inscriptions will REOPEN inmediately, so that anyone can join again.

I hope it's clear now! :)
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
So, there's no other way?

Okay then, I know that flashing it from the scratch will fix every problem.

But thanks mate
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] it works fine with single sim variant. It only had problem with dual sim. I've tried the previous version of this rom and i had also mentioned this bug. I just want to make sure beforehand. My internet's limited that's why.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
When the Dalvik ART cache gets corrupted so hard, that's the unique way

Well, can you show me the problem exactly? Maybe with a screen record (You can use this, works fine), or with screenshots, it doesn't matter.

Maybe I can reproduce the error here, but just as I said before, changing from LTE (or WCDMA) mode to GSM makes the connection go directly into GPRS/EDGE, which is 2G/1X, respectively, and it should actually work in every device.
[Sony Xperia M2] ChristianFerrer:
Has anyone used N-ify with this ROM? How's it? Is it Working?
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Yes, work fine
[Sony Xperia M2] ChristianFerrer:
Oh. Okay. I'll give it a try. Thanks. :)
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
Clear Audio doesn't work. Bass on equaliser. Clear Phase turns itself off. I listen with earphones.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Clear Audio does work (I notice it when I've a plain eq). Clear Bass also works just fine... But Clear Phase looks like doesn't work anyways, I can't notice any difference (remember it's only applicable for Speaker, not headphones).
[Sony Xperia M2] Somdesp:

Hey [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I have this problem, Everytime I turn on mobile data, no indicator comes up over the signal bars and mobile data itself doesn't work. I have to reboot my phone to get things to normal again.

[Sony Xperia M2] Hey.Jay:
Ive been wondering why deleting conversations takes time. Even deleting even a single msg. Id try to clear data. Wipe dalvik and cache. Nothing happens. I think it happened from the last or last two updates maybe, not sure. And sometimes messages is not working/force close. Thanks for anyone who could help
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
It's working as intended here. Deleting a single converstion takes no more than 3 seconds, and clearing the Messaging app data should fix any issue with it.

However, and as I always say, reinstalling the ROM from scratch might solve the issue.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
Hello [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION], may I request, a full ROM port? Like that one, but based on Xperia X, SystemUI, (some functions maby?) Apps etc. as close as possible to X series (For D2403 LB if possible), I can guarantee you that this will be the best thing someone has done for M2 series, Thanks very much if you can give me a flash, will you work on it ? :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Xperia Satio:
it seems adaptive brightness doesn't work ,click it will fc.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
FFS Don't quote the full OP

And, it's working, do not disable YetAnotherAutoBrightness, or it'll crash like so.
[Sony Xperia M2] N.Y.Gazz:
Hello . I do not have this problem.

M2 z5 style 4.6
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
There's something already in the works, since a long ago, but I've no time to finish it as it'd like to. It's not even close to what I'd consider a "beta". I can't say anything but wait, wait for it. In the meantime, enjoy Xperia Z5 STYLE, it's already a nice, for-everyday-use ROM.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
I'm very thankful, sir, thanks to you, my phone lives again, everything is perfect, except that almost all camera aps doesn't work, (I like creative colors only btw) everything is perfect like I said, keep the good work, I'll wait for the new X, cheers.:good:
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
Do we get any security patches that Google / Sony release?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No, that's another level. Also, it's only Android 6.0 Marshmallow +, meaning, only M and N releases get them.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I just want to ask, is it possible to port the new camera's function, to change the colors before taking the picture, the color contrast and the stuff ?

Also there is no option "Image stabilizer.
[Sony Xperia M2] Danchiman:
Installed in M2 d2305 from Argentina and it's working perfectly, everything works as it says, and it's great, the amount of free space it's brilliant and the effort that has been done.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I think you actually want this.

Look, I'm currently trying to compile it myself, from source, if I get it to work, I'll push it as the main Xperia Z5 STYLE camera, since it improves image quality, by far, and it's better than AOSP/Google/Sony camera, IMO.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
I mean this http://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-01.png talking about the sliders in the right side, for the color and contrast I think, also can you put the screen recorder that appears when you long press the power button?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
You're requesting too much in a very short time :D

About camera: I'm sorry, but I'm going to deprecate Sony's camera app, in favor of Cyanogen's Snap Camera. Want to try it out, check post below.

About screen recorder... Well, I can try... But it won't be Sony's screen recorder for sure, read about it some pages before. We weren't able to get it to work ever.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
New camera for Xperia Z5 STYLE: Cyanogen's Snap!

I think it's time to ditch Sony's camera app. It really works bad sometimes (crashes, crashes, crashes), and I've had so many headaches because of it I think it's time to switch...

For that reason, today I present you the new camera app for Xperia Z5 STYLE: CyanogenMod's Snap Camera app.

It's the latest version, compiled from CM13 source, and since it's a Qualcomm-specific camera app, all modes are supported in our Xperia M2.

Credits to: Cyanogen and Qualcomm, of course.

Have a look:

Want to test it out right now? Download and flash it from the attachments.

Enjoy!
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
I will try it, and tell how it works for me, compared to Sony's stock (the stock one works perfectly, I had only two crashes, when switched to front camera, and slide to superier auto, it crashes, also crashes in some camera apps, as we all know), Im pretty sure I will not like it, cause the UI looks wierd to me..

Also, im not in a hurry for the camera nor the recorder, for the recorder I like how it sits there in the power menu. :D

And also ( :D ) can't you force the new camera through the OTA Updater ?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No. This is just for those who want to try it, it's not mandatory right now.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
If I don't like it, how can I bring back the old one ?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
The old one is still there, this zip doesn't replace anything, since it's just for testing purposes.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
Oh, thats pretty good, thanks for the answer.
[Sony Xperia M2] krule031:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION]

Great job bro!

Are there any crashes with the new app? :fingers-crossed:

(Now I seriously need to install this rom, it looks so freaking amazing lol.)
[Sony Xperia M2] N.Y.Gazz:
thank you very much for this. but the portrait does not work?

M2 z5 style 4.6
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No crashes, AFAIK :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Yes, it does work (?)
[Sony Xperia M2] N.Y.Gazz:
I will flash again.;)

but , when I want to make a fashion photograph was, it does not work. there is no simultaneous rotational of the camera and the phone.

Sorry for my bad English I 'm french.:)

M2 z5 style 4.6
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Hmmm, I've just tested it, and it rotates just fine, in several modes...

So try checking if you've screen rotation activated in Settings, Accessibility, or in Settings, Display.
[Sony Xperia M2] N.Y.Gazz:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] it's strange. yes all settings are okay. I flashed again and still the same problem ... no rotation.

M2 z5 style 4.6
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But, what do you exactly mean by rotation, the whole screen (with systemui too), or just the icons? Because here, all the camera UI is rotating just fine, however the statusbar remains at the top. Have a look in pictures attached.
[Sony Xperia M2] N.Y.Gazz:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] for me it doesn't work :'(

it seems to me that there is a conflict with something else on my phone. because I lost all screen rotation, even with other applications since I flash the zip .. I'll get the solution.

M2 z5 style 4.6
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
I thought it was something simple.

It's a shame that we can't load pure google android onto any phone and not Sony version.

Hi, i don't understand why it says that the total space is 5gb when it's 8gb. Am i missing something ? Thanks anyway!
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
The os takes up the rest
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Some people actually did, and you only need to read the thread to realize that, so...
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
I've tested the new camera, and I have to say that I've encountered crashes, when I take a picture via continuously pressing the screen button, and then it says camera has stopped, It happend two times only.

Now for the image quality, I have to say that sony's stock one is better, the new one makes so much noise (even in 100iso), i've played alot with the settings, and I have to say that I like the settings and the saturation change (thats what i've wanted) but I don't like it, i'l upload some samples with both cameras later. Thanks, and keep updating the STOCK camera.
[Sony Xperia M2] N.Y.Gazz:
hi, I did not find the problem. so I reinstalled everything. I had installed the zip dark theme, maybe it's the problem that conflicts with camera. since I put everything back in place, I have a new auto rotation that works in all applications. shame, because your camera I like a lot.

Thanks very much for your work ;)

Envoyé de mon XPERIA M2 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Maybe it's placebo effect, because, at least to me, both camera apps do work fine, in terms of bg noise... Still, I must remember everyone this is not a compact camera, this is a (low-end) cheap device that didn't have a decent camera even when it first came out, with Jelly Bean (and thank god Sony did an nice job with 18.6.A.0.182 camera blobs), so don't ask the impossible out of it.

Regarding the crash, yeah, I know, and I didn't expect for anyone to find it out that quick ;)

I'm currently working on fixing it.

If the problem is the dark apps mod, haven't you think contacting it's author first to see what's wrong with it :confused:
[Sony Xperia M2] mokariem:
distorted sound with clear audio?

My speaker quality sucks now. if i put ClearAudio+ on the sound gets distored. even on soft volume.

What can i do? is there a fix??:confused: D2303

[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I beg you please please make Touch Block work, on D2403 when I try to record in water, it touches the screen and I'm unable to do it. Is it even possible?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
If your speaker is broken then what's the problem? Everything is working fine here.

I thought I included it... You can try with this one though if you can't find the original APK from Sony (functionality is the same): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kidscrape.king

The internet and LTE is working?
[Sony Xperia M2] semil:
Hi, I am really pleased with this ROM awesome work! One question. Could You make a flashable zip of the CM fm radio too? Since mine does not work ever since kitkat. I used it a lot and miss it.

Oh, and another question. Was there anyting else changed with the CM camera. zip? Since I flashed it I expirience lag and zram has changed to 380. It was 320 before.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I've extracted it from Z5's dump, here is link for you https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxRG8Da_eOG6QTBlVmlXdUlKWWM if you don't have it, please include it in this build, thanks.

Also may I ask about Image stabilization in the camera, both cameras lack stabilization?
[Sony Xperia M2] semil:
Can the camera problem be caused by a small dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree? I use a custom kernel, so I put 32 instead the 8 i had (dont know why was it so little..) and now the camera works well and starts faster.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
I've edited the camera opening time in ms(milliseconds) from 500 to 300 in media profiles xml. Camera now opens much quicker. Also checked touchblock on my M2 running z2 port as base working fine here.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
Where can I find that file, also chek my link if you want material icon on touch block.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Media profiles xml is in system/ect, I only use touchblock through the camera app if it's raining when taking a picture. Small apps is one of the first things I always delete glad they've left them out of the x range.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
I use it too through the camera, but it only appears when I install the small app.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
Sorry for the offtopic, but can you tell me how can I get Xposed (D2403) ?

Also Im unable to use Google Now launcher, thats what it looks like, when I try to change it!
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Logs?

You ask too much ;-;

1. An OTA has already been scheduled (not anytime soon). I don't want to touch it's contents nor add anything else as of right now.

2. This ROM is open for suggestions, but I wouldn't like to include something that barely anyone used (in previous versions it was there, for sure) ... Still, I'll think about it.

3. This phone doesn't have any kind of OIS, and software image stabilization would work really poor.

4. Xposed:

RTFM

("Features" section).

5. Reboot your device and Google Now Launcher will appear (already discussed in this thread, btw.)

Why wouldn't it work? :)

1. If it's not working since KitKat, it might be a RADIO (modem) related issue, using another app won't probably help in any way.

2. Nothing changed excepting the camera apk+libs.

3. Read the headline. This is for LBL, I won't ever include a Custom Kernel with it.
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
For the google now launcher.... wipe dalvik helped here.
[Sony Xperia M2] s3rv:
I like this ROM, but I can't log into my Google account. Is it normal feature?

I I installed on Xperia M2 firmware 18.6.A.0.182
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Of course it is not (I'd not have included them if they didn't work). My suggestion, as always, is to reinstall the ROM from scratch, starting by flashing a FTF from Flashtools, as it's the easiest way to fix it; however, you can also try wiping your data and cache through recovery, or to clear data of all the Google Apps (specially Play Store and Google Play Services) and trying again.
[Sony Xperia M2] s3rv:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I thank you for your prompt reply and I'm sorry for the confusion. After reinstalling Lollipop and Z5 STYLE 4.6 I stated no internet connection on my wifi router. So, no internet, no login... :). Now all working.

Super ROM, thank you very much.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
What will the new OTA include?
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
Does this rom include ad-blocking because I'm noticing the lack of in-app ads even when wi-fi is on.
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
Absolutely, I don't have any ads too, not in browsing, not even in-app, thanks btw.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
use AdBlock :)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Surprise! :cool:

And yes, it includes some sort of Ad-Blocking technique, but in fact that was done to avoid Scams, unintentional WAP content premium subscriptions (I had a really bad experience with those recently), seems it also blocks general ads... Consider it a feature (?) :D
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I think theres a mistake on the first page it says something like : I would like to present to you z5 style 4.5 you might want ro change it to 4.6
