I rate this ROM great except for no 4G

I was about to rate this the BEST Z2 ROM I've ever tried until Realized I am not receiving ANY 4G signal, which I have had on the stock 232, Existenz and MXNice ROM over the past few days.

I have Ultra Mobile which piggybacks off Tmobile.

On this ROM I get 4 full bars of 3G but no LTE 4G at all.

Anybody have a suggestion on how I can get 4G on this ROM?

If not, I'll be restoring my MxNICE V7.7 backup.

Thanks,

Glenn ;)

Your Mobile Network Type in LTE Mode?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] weltwon:
This Z2 ROM beats ALL other ROMS today!

Do I feel stupid now! THANK YOU RaKesh!

Now I can say 100000% that this is the best ROM I've ever had on my Z2 6503 and I've tried ALL the highly rated custom ROMs and even the latest stock 232 ROM !!!!!

Here's why I'm rating this ROM #1:

1. Brightness. On stock Sony .232 ROM I had worst maximum brightness ever. MxNICE was better but this ROM is so bright, I have to reduce my screen brightness for first time ever!

2. Best debloating. I only had to remove 2 Sony apps I never use.

3. Amazing audio. Volume and clarity better than ever.

4. No crashing apps! I have 84 added apps. With Existenz, MxNICE and all the other custom ROMs I've tested, I always had problems.

5. Best 2G, 3G & 4G LTE reception. I use Ultra Mobile which piggybacks off Tmobile in USA. Until now, never had all full bars!!!

No problems with this ROM!

6. Fastest & Most Compact Backup. I use TWRP v2.8.7.0 and this ROM including all my apps backed up in 23% less space.

Based on my 35+ years of computer, programming, Apple and Android rooting skills, I therefore award RXSW v12.3 for Z2

* * * * * BEST Z2 ROM

Thank you to RaKesh and all others who may have contributed to this fantastic ROM,

Glenn ;)

Thank you very much for this Great Review :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Thanks for your Review. I am the creator of the ROM for Z3 and my Team Member Rakesh ported it for Z2. Never saw such an nice Review yet, thanks alot. Really appreciate your Words.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alex26aly:
Must try this rom, I saw it on Z3 forum some time ago

I was hoping that someone will port it and.......here it is

Downloading right now!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wolfbreak, you were on Xperia X10 forum? or I'm mistaking?

glad your rom is here for Z2 users to enjoy it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] moonryder:
I can only agree 100%.

Tested all .232 stock roms (moonwalker, mxrom, existenz - their devs are all great guys) and i tried to create my own rom without any schickimicki, but this one is the absolute best LP 232 rom ever.

Decently debloated, no unuseful extras, stable, horrible fast - just amazing.

Big thx for that

first to [MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION] (Grüße nach Austria) for the "base"

and to [MENTION=6008844]RaKesh[/MENTION] for this amazing port

i took a look into init.d and there is no need to install extra scripts ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Yes im from Xperia X10 Forums some Years back.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Gus194:
Is anybody using xposed? If so what modules are you using? I keep getting bootloops when i flash it, don't know which module is causing it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ric69:
Anyone have problem with quick settings?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] moonryder:
which one do you use?

disable all, then activate one after the other and you will know which one causes the issue.

it seems that you are using Blurred System by Serajr, maybe this is the problem...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ric69:
You are absolutely right, problem solved by disabling notification option ... I agree with everybody, very good rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] angel_18panlaqui:
im using blurred system by seraj no bug..and my module is greenify,ifont,flat style covered bar,YouTube adaway,YouTube background play,xperia xposed,gravitybox,notifyclean...100% working perfectly

Great job [MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6008844]RaKesh[/MENTION] :) I'll never forget Wolfbreak's Gingerbread on X10i, 'coz I used it for my daily because of stability and fast performance. And now i'm excited to download this for my Z2... Thanks guys and RXSW team!!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alex26aly:
I have a problem, if my device stays locked for a long time, I can't unlock it, the screen won't turn on

And one more problem with quick settings
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
Did you do a clean install? Do you have xposed? If yes, check your modules.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dendis:
What about SOT?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Before release

I tested the Xposed too

There is no bootloop

Xposed working normally
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alex26aly:
Yeah, I did a clean install, I have only Xperia Xposed module
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mr.loverlover:
Have the same problem with quick settings. Xperia xposed causes it.

Sent from Xperia Z2

Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] angel_18panlaqui:
here the SOT
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kistigun:
Great ROM, clean and tidy! Came along 2 problems:

- cant acces drop down/quick settings when i was scrolling true the app drawer

- cant get my smartband 2 to connect(but NFC & bluetooth are working fine)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I don't have kcal and appops in app settings or rom settings....it is normal?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Quick settings issue because of z5 launcher
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Yes its Normal :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Do you remove it from original one or it is a bug? If it is a bug, how to fix? Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
i didn't removed any features from original

its normal not any bug
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hayeni:
Iya no gents this rom is amazing all so far so too good and both smart band and smart watch 2 working flawless. I love it when there is still good things out there ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kistigun:
well if it's working on your z2 it should work on mine. Going to reflash en try again. Wich version of xposed did you use and did you unmount the system before you flashed the rom?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
No that is a bug from my Side sorry. I have the same Problem myself, i will fix it with next release for Z3.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] thelegendy:
Good job friends, thanks :) ROM looks nice and feel smooth. But I wonder, how can I install Xposed? ..and is it safe serajr Xposed module?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tomil76:
I found issue with my nfc...

Cant connect with nfc...anyone facing same problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hayeni:
I decided not to install xposed as yet, just want to fully test the rom first then will install it later.

System was not mounted and I alsofactory resort, clear cache, clear dalvik cache and formatted the internal sdcard.

I love the banner in about phone. Well done Wolfbreak awuuuuuuhhhh ;)

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Is it before or after installing xposed? I think in the previous roms I have noticed some funny nfc behaviour after flashing xposed and that's the reason why I am going to take a while before attempting to install in this lovely rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] weltwon:
NFC may not be working.

Just when I thought this ROM was perfect .... I don't use NFC so I just tried to turn it ON, no NFC symbol appearing.

For those with the xposed issues when using Z5 launcher, I am using the Nova Launcher without any problems

and I DO NOT have xposed installed.

In case anyone thinks the NFC issue on my Z2 is related to my install ... I always do 100% clean installs of new ROMs.

Despite the NFC bug (if it is one) I am still loving this ROM more than ANY other Z2 ROM.

I will now add amazing battery life to my prior list of #1 features.

Glenn ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hayeni:
Surely there must be something you are not doing right for I am using NFC with both my SmartBand and SmartWatch 2. Please ensure that you have followed the guide properly and that you don't dirty flash, but only do a clean install.

There is nothing wrong with this rom and please let us not spoil a good thing ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Helmut.Hartmann:
Hallo *all,

i tryed this Rom and noticed one issue. I'am unable to get viper4andDroid working. after each start I get the message ,,install driver,, installing selinuxmodechanger, force awesomeplayer instead nuplayer - nothing helped, viper doesn't work.

have anybody viper working on this Rom.

I did a clean install, came from other custom stock Rom, locked bootloader.

thx
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tomil76:
I'm not use xposed and i do clean install but still nfc wont connect any solution?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hayeni:
After the installation did you by any chance install your apps from a backup, especially SmartBand app?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kistigun:
did a dirty flash, coming from existenz. All is working fine now, even with exposed!

Does anyone know a good mod to turn of battery charging led?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] k101d:
With this rom I flash with full wipe and then install rom+ xpose and NFC work normal.

Before use this rom I used to flash other rom (5.1.1) and got NFC not work and try to change the folder /data/usf to other name such as /data/usf1 then reboot then NFC will work.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xdtiiz:
Hi, am noticing no change in icon size from home settings. anyone else noticed too?

Thanks for a really good ROM!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] weltwon:
NFC issue may be the icon only

Aside from the fact that to try and resolve the NFC issue

I have now done 4 clean installs (2 using TWRP and 2 using Philz Touch recovery)

I still don't see the NFC icon in the notification bar on my 6503 Z2.

However, I stumbled upon a post mentioning a bug in latest Android which

may be preventing the NFC icon from appearing, even though NFC is actually ON.

I am able to toggle the NFC on and off so maybe I really do have the NFC functionality

and my only real problem is that I'm not seeing the icon when it is ON.

The only time I use NFC is at brick & mortar stores to pay by credit card so I will try it

in the next couple days to see if my NFC is really working.

Glenn ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mirok80:
very smooth Z5 Experience one of the Best Roms
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptmaniac:
NFC icon is disabled by default in some sony roms.

add the following line to your build.prop file, it should bring the icon back:

ro.nfc.icon.enable=true
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] moonryder:
[MENTION=6008844]RaKesh[/MENTION]
[MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION]

How is it possibe...

...that this ROM is clean, fast (faster than with a custom kernel like AndroPlus), stable - just awesome BUT without any problems?

SOT abot 6,5 h

battery life is amazing (without Greenify, just using AppOps, Disable Service and Llama for turning on/off WiFi)

never used a ROM with better values :D

Thx for all :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
You are always welcome :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] weltwon:
NFC is working in this ROM!

Thanks Ptmaniac!

Problem resolved!

For anyone else who doesn't understand how to apply the fix which will make the NFC icon appear when it's ON,

Using Root Explorer (or a similar app),

Mount R/W

Go to system/build.prop

Open build.prop with a text editor

Add ro.nfc.icon.enable=true as line right under the other lines that start with ro

Save the file

Note: Root Explorer will make an automatic backup of build.prop in case you make a mistake.

Reboot your Z2.

Turn on NFC and your NFC icon will appear in the notification bar!

Note: After you've edited your build.prop and rebooted, you may have to reset your Bluetooth devices because you edited the build.prop file.

Glenn ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] moonryder:
no need to add the line, it is there but only set on false, just change it into true!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] _heisenberg:
Just a small note: In settings under "about phone" there still is the picture of the Xperia Z3 :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] _heisenberg:
Is there any way to change the media volume while the device is silent and no media is playing? When the phone is silent, the settings button on the right is just grayed out, so I have to switch to loud mode (or vibrate), then I can click on the settings icon and change the media volume. Any way to avoid this?

[MENTION=6008844]RaKesh[/MENTION]Bro why aren't there some mods of camera like 4K,Timeshift Video? Is there Supercamera?

download zip file(s)

copy it to your phone

flash RXSW_Xperia_Z2_logo_in_settings.zip

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
You can't you reduce the volume? xLoud is off but everything is still insanely loud. I like having a bit of extra loudness as a possibility but even when speakers are at the lowest settings, its like when its on 80% on stock.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Helmut.Hartmann:
Hallo *all,

nobody with viper4android running on this rom or the same issue?

Thx
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Try the Louder Volume from Addons
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Helmut.Hartmann:
...instead viper4android or in combination?

Not working, the changes to buildprop dont save on reboot
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadnajmi96:
have try by editting build.prop did you mean?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Changing DPI makes changes to the phones's build prop and if buildprop changes cannot be saved that means the dpi cannot be changed
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djclark25:
I use build prop editor off the play store. I change mine to 408 using this program and it works and sticks everytime after reboot.

Open the app, press the left arrow on the top left, Change the LCD Density value by selecting it, enter your own value and save then reboot
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nicholasknicks:
It works well with Androplus kernel but doesnt work with the stock kernel
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djclark25:
Im on the stock kernel and its working. Have you tried the SELinux mode changer to make sure you are in permissive mode? You probably need to do that under stock as you are in Enforcing mode by default. Under Androplus, I think you are in permissive mode by default
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Hmm btw that could be the reason
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] moonryder:
sure i saw it too and it bothers me.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] moonryder:
plz tell us or give us a screenshot of the battery usage.

I got about 6 - 6,5 hours of SOT, battery drain 1% over night, 2% drain in standby (wifi off)

have an absolutely smooth and snappy device without any lags.

i use Greenify, AppOps, Disable Service and Llama for Wifi control (wifi on only when display is on)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Farooq95:
I guess it was 'scanning always available' option in WiFi settings.

I have noticed better battery with 10% every 45 min screen time.

I'll post again after using a fully charged phone .

This rom is butter smooth.I feel Sony purposely deprecated their firmwares for z2 users.

Since this is a port from z3 forums , it works perfectly as it should.

I've made these arguments because z2 and z3 purportedly have same or similar hardware.
