5-6hrs screen time min on every full charge cycle on stock 5.1 with a few apps I don't use removed and zram as Sony intended. After flashing any ftf or rom it'll take a week to settle down before you'll even get stable good battery life. On kk I'd not get anywhere near these numbers with out using amplify greenify and a few other tweaks for me 5.1 battery is way better than kk.

Some news here, I edited build.prop and changed the model from D2303 to D2306 and my IMEI is back again
[Sony Xperia M2] StardustGeass:
Sorry for a late reply, I have busy times for days.

I only want to flash this device with stock lolipop ROM from D2302 FTF using flashtool.

Using .18, .16 version of flashtool doesnt help. It returns "error flashing" when trying to flash data, without other explanations.

Flashtool can detect the device and it reads when my D2302 inserted as flash mode.

My D2302 already have root, adb debug on, unknown sources checked.

I also tried to make a zip-mode of FTF using some guide (so I can flash with TWRP), but fails as well.

Hope you can help. Thanks a lot :)

Awesome! Thanks, changed for me too[emoji16]

[Sony Xperia M2] rafix96:
Absolutely amazing rom, but i have problem with mms... of course i set apn's but there no change. Maybe some have solution?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Inside the APN config, you must set inside TYPE to default,supl and inside MMS APN you must set in TYPE mms. This also depends on your carrier, but on most cases that's the config it should have.
[Sony Xperia M2] Hey.Jay:
Where i buildprop should i change? Does the model in details of picture change too?
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Would it be possible to flash straight from KitKat?
[Sony Xperia M2] dark90:
Yes you can, but you need make a Lollipop rom with prf creator, and install first Lollipop rom and after that install this rom
[Sony Xperia M2] Jimmy Thrashmetal:
Yes, details changes too. Look attachments to see the changes I made, before it was D2303, now is D2306
[Sony Xperia M2] Konrad69:

[Sony Xperia M2] Matze6989:
Have anywhere the stock boot.img for me for the 5.5.1?
[Sony Xperia M2] krule031:
Did you flashed it with TWRP?

Linuxct said it needs to be flashed there to avoid any errors.
[Sony Xperia M2] iqan:
yes. flashed with twrp.

done all steps as mentioned.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
Did you flash the patch for D2302?
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Works like a charm. I have no bugs to report either! Keep up the great work
[Sony Xperia M2] Sotirispech:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I think I have found what causes faster battery draining.

On stock Sony room, when you exit out of camera my devices's camera makes a little noise indicating that the camera has stopped working. On your rom when I exit out of the camera application it doesn't do that sound. It only does it when I shut off my phone. So possibly it's the camera is running all the time that causes this issue.

Ringtones

Hi,

I have installed this and I'm very satisfy of it

But I have a problem. I have assigned some ringtones per contacts, different from my phone ringtone, but when my personalized contact call me, it's the phone ringtone that ring.

I moved all my personalized ringtones to internal memory or system/media but it's the same thing, only phone ringtone when call

Anyone else have this problem ? Any idea or solution ?

Sorry for my english

Ladalgigi

:confused:

SOLVED : For anyone with this problem, the fix is that your mp3 filename must not have any space.
[Sony Xperia M2] iqan:
yes.. I did everything.

Both SIM working fine but i can use SIM 1 as WCDMA not SIM 2. In stock ROM you can use either SIM for WCDMA network.

+ In SIM 2 , Card Name needs to be set manually.

+ While using phone, it shows "Card Name" instead of Contact Number or Name, for all incoming calls. But shows caller name/number while screen is locked.

( eg. If card name = "vodafone", incoming call popup shows "Incoming call - vodafone" )
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
Install Servicely from play store. You can select camera in its hit list. See if it makes that sound.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

I got you. I haven't flashed it yet. I own the same device too. I think I'll wait for this issue to be resolved. BTW how's the stock 5.1.1 for our device? And how did you root it?
[Sony Xperia M2] iqan:
For stock I used "D2302_18.6.A.0.175_R2C_India Generic_1281-3877.ftf".

And KingRoot App for rooting.

But I suggest not to use KingRoot. You will not be able to remove/uninstall or replace(with SuperSU) it without unrooting the device.

Instead you can Flash "BOOTLOADER_UPDATE_(ONLY-OPEN-DEVICES).ftf" mentioned in this post, install a recovery and flash SuperSU zip.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
I'm sorry to ask you for more but could you be specific as to what exactly will i have to do? Step wise and if there are links please post them.

P.S I downloaded LP update from pc companion. I made ftf of it in flashtools. But it doesn't flash it. I even added supersu app.

Bootloader is locked.
[Sony Xperia M2] iqan:
Ohh.. For locked bootloader.

KingRoot is the only option as per my knowledge. Or if you can get TWRP workinng anyhow use SupeSU flashable zip.

To download ftf for lollipop check PM.
[Sony Xperia M2] krule031:
After rooting with KingRoot, use this: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1

Just follow the steps and you will have SuperSu without any chinese crap installed.

Can you please try flashing from scratch (ftf)? I'm not facing any issue here :)

Guys, can you please report the bugs you're experiencing using this template? I think it'd be easier for us to determine how to fix it...

Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. version:

Did you flashed a clean FTF and reinstall the ROM to see if the bugs still happens?:

Lollipop FTF you flashed (CDA if possible):

Recovery you used:

Steps to reproduce the problem:

In "Recovery you used", please, DO NOT ONLY ANSWER TWRP, say what exact version you used, if from MultiRecovery, from the Material Design version I made,

or other

[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I did flash from scratch, it also would stop working on the stock ROM, it's most likely the FTF.
[Sony Xperia M2] chibifreak:
After I flashed that sim card patch, it works..

But idk why my statusbar n navbar cant be tinted like before, even my navbar icon didnt change according to the theme..

How to fix that?

[IMG="ss"]http://postimg.org/image/w50zfsaxx/[/IMG]
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
I flashed as instructed. Encountered one little problem. When i choose gsm only, it only stays at gsm/wcdma/Lte.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I can't help you with that, if you installed some Xposed modules to tint it then there is the problem..

Working fine here...
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
For now i'm sticking to the stock 5.1.1. I've read the news about another update coming up. I'll try that one.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
If the camera patch is as I expect, I'm quite sure that changing the base FTF will fix the problem. And we would be able to use Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. on top of it :p

I'll try to figure out what files changed, and then make a flashable zip patch for them ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] Gaurav007:
To fix camera delete lib folder from /system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI/
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Aaaahm... The crashes or the quality? we were talking about the camera quality patch sony will release next year :)
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
A full year or like January to March?
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
What i did?

1. Flash ftf via flashtools.

2. Rooted via kingroot then replaced it successfully by supersu then flashed multirecovery 0.7.

3. Flashed Z5 style, supersu beta, multirecovery, ric disaber and then D2302 patch.

Rom booted after 15 mins. Everything working fine. Went to mobile networks. Auto download internet settings. It came and i was able to see E but then error could not be downloaded so i added manually. It works. Then, as i use only 2G, i changed to gsm only. Didn't work. It stays at gsm/wcdma/lte.

Why this is important to me because i don't need 3g. 2g saves me a lot of data and money and battery.

If anything wrong that I might have done then please redirect me to that point.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Like January to February I hope.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Hmmmm the procedure is fine, but here is everything working as expected. Check

Maybe is something wrong with the D2302 patch. I have no idea what's going on. Any idea [MENTION=5264045]Gaurav007[/MENTION]? :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Gaurav007:
That's because Z1C doesn't have proper dual SIM resources.

[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
What if i put sim slot 2? Usually there's one gsm only slot and another is both.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

@linuxct and [MENTION=5264045]Gaurav007[/MENTION] guys i think i should stay at stock 5.1.1 but i'll need help with xposed and supersuser mod. And why must i deodex? and can i deodex stock? (i don't think that's possible otherwise you guys would have done it by now but still)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
To install Xposed you *need* to deodex. You can't deodex stock rom with any tool out there. Unique way is using or the deodexed patch or this rom. And since the problem you're facing comes from Z1c, we can't fix it. So... Moving to stock means you won't be able to use Xposed.

Calm down, it's normal because of Z1c base. Reboot and it'll appear again.

Use the recoveries provided?! I'm sick tired of repeating this, right?!
[Sony Xperia M2] Matze6989:

I have found the Error. I was with my phone in roaming. When im back by my original Provider is my baseband back.

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Oh alright, I forgot :p

No, in stock is not possible.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
I read too. The only option is to flash your rom. Btw can you plz look into dual sim settings? If it can be fixed or something? It is quite a big deal for me. Plz understand.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I'm deeply afraid that's the only thing I can't fix as of right now. However, you can try Gaurav's Z2-based deodexed ROM. Maybe the bug isn't present anymore in there. Remember it's for D2303, so you'll still need a D2302 build.prop patch. Use the Patch 1 listed in the OP of Z5 S.T.Y.L.E.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
But in his post, it is written that dual settings don't work as of now. In his V1 patch, there was no such warning. That is why i asked for V1. Also, even if the dual sims dont work at least the gsm only things should work.

This is the only problem thats keeping me from upgrading to lollipop.
[Sony Xperia M2] Gaurav007:
Actually it works if you flash both the patches from OP
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
[MENTION=5264045]Gaurav007[/MENTION] hate to ask you for more but plz give me a little step by step procedure. I am a bit confused at this moment. Which zip to flash first and then which one that is all i'm asking.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
So I think he means that you need to install the ROM, then flash Patch 1 and then flash Patch 2.

I'm sorry I couldn't help that much as I don't have that model.

You know what? I'm making another patch, that includes all fixes. Wait.

Check OP. From now on, please, use the D2302 PATCH 151206.

Steps: Install Z5 S.T.Y.L.E., then flash the patch and enjoy.

[MENTION=5264045]Gaurav007[/MENTION], you can also add it to the Z1c deodexed base thread, since I noticed some D5322 things that shouldn't be in the D2302, plus, it removed MultiUser support, now that's fixed :P

Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. Beta Releases Announcement

Currently new inscriptions are closed.

Please, check back later.

Today, I’m glad to announce a new beta program for Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. Inside it, I’ll be publishing more regular updates (latest stable release hasn’t been updated since it was published), to let users try experimental features and receive feedback from them. This implies that users that request join into the beta program need to be active, and have some minimal knowledge of Android.

How to join

To join, you can just send me an email to sergiocastell [at] gmail [dot] com, or send me a PM.

PS: I won’t reply any email non-related with Beta Program access requests.

Since we’re going to work in AndroidFileHost you’ll need to register there and then, you'll need to

follow me

so that I can add you to the Beta group (AFH has been notified since this is a bug).

Of course, you’re not able to redistribute the beta packages, nor share them. If anoyone you know wants to join in, then redirect them here.

The milestone

The goal of the project right now is to fix any errors from previous releases, and to bring back again some features that were removed. This will start from Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. 4.5b1 (Beta #1), and then, start adding new features in upcoming beta releases. Once we arrive to a state where everything seems to work as intended, it’ll be published to everyone, including those out of the beta release.

Why[FONT=&quot]?[/FONT]

As I said earlier, this can help both you and me. I get constant feedback from you, and you get the latest release as soon as I compile it.

So, hope you guys understand it. I’m waiting to hear from you.

Roadmap[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

4.5b1 released at the time of creating this post, 2015-12-09.

4.5b2 was released the 2015-12-24.

4.5b2 was released the 2015-12-26.

4.5b3 was released the 2016-02-08.

EDIT: You should have a look here if you had any doubt about 'Donations'.​

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I use a lot that function and it's working fine, at least here. Maybe it's not working fine because of Stamina mode?

[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
ROM works fine now but it deleted my internal storage.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No, it didn't delete your internal storage, you deleted your internal storage.

You have to be careful when doing the wipes in Recovery, so choose Advanced and tick only those really needed (Cache, Dalvik Cache and Data), as stated in OP.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
I'm not sure, but I'm installing it again. If it does it again, I'll report here.

UPDATE: I just found out that there's a folder named 0. In it all of my internal data are present. Can you tell me what caused it?

PC Config: Windows 10, ESET Smart Security. No virus present.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Oh, that happens rarely on Xperia devices. I needed to repair via PC Companion once a Xperia T3 because of that. Backup the folder to your pc, and then, flashing a userdata.sin from any ftf will fix everything, but be careful.

To everyone interested in Beta Program:

Since donations are not working, they're just removed.

As before, you need to send me an email or a PM, then create an account @ Android File Host, and Follow Me so that I can add you to the group.

The roadmap is the following:

4.5b1 released.

4.5b2 will be released before Xmas.

4.5b3 and following will continue after I finish my final exams (approx. in March).

Can you please download Terminal Emulator and type in

and tell me what happens?

Thank you for reporting. Can you please try Non-stock sony apps? EG: Mozilla Firefox or Root Explorer? Whatever apk. Move it to /system/app/<name-of-the-program>/, give permissions and reboot.

I think it only happens with Stock Sony Apps.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
This happens for any app, example Chrome, X-Plore, not special for Sony apps.

What can I do?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
I just moved Firefox as System App manually and it seems to work just fine.

Are you using any app to help you move the app? EG: Titanium Backup, Link2SD, etc.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
Nope
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
I appreciate the hard work but i noticed some bugs.

1. Xposed installer installs finely but after reboot, when opened its module section, it gives fc.

2. Settings > Apps > any app > fc.

3. Gsm works but if you search network, fc.

UPDATE: I learned something new today. Firstly, when you flash PRF, it'll move your internal sdcard's data into a folder named zero. This is something related to multiuser. This folder cannot be deleted and it'll be created every time you flash. There's one way to delete it via /data/media/0/0.
[Sony Xperia M2] Sidow:
Ah nvm, i finally got to install the byeselinux module. Anyway you(and everyone else that helped to make this rom) did a really great job. On your first rom Z4 eXPERIence was really cool, but this one, man this one is awesone. It like really optimizes lollipop :good:

*EDIT*

Bro i need help again, so what happens is that i ended with a bootloop after installing an app. So i couldn't recover with out flashing again. So i tried to flash KK to root, then go to LP. What happens is the when flashtool is ready to flash, i connect my device as flash mode, but after clearing TA partitions (i belive) it aborts by it self, and then the device disconnects it self. So i can't turn the phone on, not flash ftf. Any idea of what could it be?
