Interesting. Would you please mind to reinstall the ROM (not only wiping data, but flashing the ZIP again), and do the OTAs again? I see you installed Xposed, and (probably) it can be related.
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
Thanks mate, yep I only have one home installed.

I'll try to install another launcher then.

:)
[Sony Xperia M2] Manolovini2000:
I had already installed this rom, all OK.... But I got some problems with xposed, and I came back for the the stock rom. Now I installed back, and when I updated the Google Play Services show the message that says Google Play Services stopped... So can someone help me?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Try wiping data of the app, or update it to latest version available through APKmirror. Maybe it's just the Google Play version, because here it's working good.

Xperia Z5 STYLE has 2,000 active users!

Hi family,

I'm happy to announce that, today, Xperia Z5 STYLE just surpassed 2,000 daily active users!

Here's a video I just made for the occasion! Enjoy :)

[Sony Xperia M2] ismailbozdagg:
Best rom bro. very very good and stabil
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Why in service menu, network mode is unavailable?
[Sony Xperia M2] TheEvil332:
The best rom in XDA,keep it up, i hope to see and Xperia X Style ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
That shouldn't actually be there, it's only for the Z1c. If you want to change it, do it from Settings, More, Mobile Networks, and Preferred Network Type.
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Yea,but there are not only lte option. few questions :1. whether it is possible to pc see internal memory as mass storage, all partitions 2.whether z5style will be based on marshmallow. sorry for my poor English
[Sony Xperia M2] Manolovini2000:
Can someone tell me what is your Google Play Services version?........ This rom is the best thanks......
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
6.4.12.c

Sorry 8.7.03
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But why would you want only LTE? First, it would eat your battery, and second, not in every place there's LTE, which will leave you uncommunicated, but, there will probably be WCDMA (whether it's 3G, or H/H+).

What I usually do to force an LTE connection is to enable and disable once the airplane mode, when I'm sure I'm in a LTE area. Then the connection will keep working until there's no more LTE signal, which will make the phone jump to the next closest antenna, probably a WCDMA one.

If you still want to force your phone to an LTE only connectivity, try with this app.

About partitions, through MTP I can perfectly see my internal SD card and the external SD card. If you are meaning to see the ROOT (/), you can't.

No, it will never be Marshmallow based. Just, think about it, this is a Custom Rom designated for LBL users. To install any kind of Marshmallow Rom, you'll need a custom kernel, and thus, an UBL, so it's not viable.

That should've been posted in this nice Q&A thread I opened months ago and no one ever used... 8.7.03 (2645110-234)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But did you understand what I said?

Was there any other error above the "E: Error executing updater binary" line?

I imagine you own a D2303 or a D2403...

Can you please flash one of these FTFs (the one according to your model), and then install the ROM again, from scratch? Maybe that fixes it.

[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
I thought that this rom is smaller than the original ftf. What is the difference?

Double tap to sleep doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vazzeking:
Read the op. It hasn't unimportant apps and etc

If you have the newest home you can enable the double tap at home settings
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
I had my phone start up with a blank screen. Needed to reset the phone to get out of it then it spent ten minutes optimising the apps.

Hi [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] . How did you manage to fix this Led problem ? , i have faced the same problem in "z2 base deodexd patch" too after installing xr and be .i tried to fix it and it worked but camera Fc. so i cleared cache/davlik and gusswhat camera works but led dead again :D . and could you please tell what did you mean SEMCCOLOREXTRACTION was faulty ? do you mean colorextraction.jar and xml files ??

Thanks in advance sir and i really admire your work :)
[Sony Xperia M2] maxray:
with this camera apk from the z5 style steadyshot doesn't stay deactivated when I want to use it without for better vof.

it is always on after turning on the camera :(

do you know what can it be?
[Sony Xperia M2] droyjul:
Request for help here.

I have vodafone apps preinstalled on the z5 style 4.5 ROM on my Xperia M2. The reason being is that the phone was restored from a hard bricked state. This was done by using a SD2 or SDK box (not totally sure about the name.) When the Xperia device was restored the phone was attached to a vodafone operating system and was completely full of vodafone bloatware. It is not as bad now on this new custom ROM as it was when my phone was just restored.

If I uninstall all the vodafone apps which is what I want, will it mean that they will people completely erased from the system? I want this phone to run as crisply and cleanly as possible. And can someone tell me what are the correct pre-installed apps on this ROM.

These are screenshots of my apps or widgets, and some of them I do not think should be there:
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
What do you mean by "I thought that this rom is smaller than the original ftf"? Indeed, it's smaller as it only contains System partition, the other (let's say) SINs, are not included... Also, it's quite debloated, and it also reuses certain files and folders from Stock, to reduce the weight of the system.

Double tap to sleep does work, but you may need to disable and re-enable it in Xperia Home settings to get it to work.

Blank screen... Do you mean, the bootanimation? Because it's not blank/white, it's grey, with some waves moving. After first installation, it's completely normal that you spend 7-10 minutes until it finishes the boot.

But, don't worry, the bootanimation will be changed in the upcoming update.

Yes man, the problem was on my side, because after applying XReality and BE3, the com.sonyericsson.colorextraction_impl jar was replaced without me realizing it, so I changed it back to the one on previous versions, and it got fixed! I've attached you the .jar which made it to work, good luck.

I had no idea about this issue, can it be a broken function? I did not personally mod this one, so maybe it's just a placeholder that does nothing, keep trying it, please :)

If you just "uninstall" them, they'll appear again when you wipe your data partition. To fully delete them, please, try to delete the apps using Titanium Backup, or any other tool that let's you freeze/delete bloatware. You can find more info in here.
[Sony Xperia M2] droyjul:
Should I wipe data, cache and davlik cache in twrp and see if they return? My system should not be harmed when I wipe these three right? I will use Titanium Backup as you said.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
If you want to try it now, yes.

No, it won't harm anything while you don't format the System partition.

Take into account this will reset everything as if you just reinstalled the ROM, making the first boot, once again, quite long.
[Sony Xperia M2] furankuM2:
Yes blank. You have to tilt the phone to see light around the edge of the screen. Only happened once and not after booting for the first time. Happen before boot animation.

Sometimes if boot animation takes too long it re boots and has to optimise all the apps. This has happened 3 times the last three weeks.
[Sony Xperia M2] droyjul:
I do not have to flash the ROM again after I wipe data, cache, davlik cache?

Also does it matter if I have used RIC Killer or RIC disabler? I cannot remember which one I used.
[Sony Xperia M2] maxray:
Steadyshot is doing the same. I reinstalled the stock version of lollipop and it is working properly. I think only this new apk has the problem. Of course is not a big deal though :)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
There's no need to reflash it.

No, it doesn't matter unless you don't have R/W access to System, in which case you must install a RIC Disabler.

That's weird, and it hasn't happened here. Did you install Xposed Framework? Can you please try to flash from scratch, starting by reflashing stock rom through flashtools? Maybe that fixes it.

I'll have a look at it, but can't promise anything!
[Sony Xperia M2] solehud:
cant read arabic font

Please fix sir
[Sony Xperia M2] droyjul:
I think for now I will leave wiping the data, cache, davlik cache and deleting the vodafone apps by titanium backups for another time. I have already uninstalled the vodafone apps and the phone has been running smoothly. And this is not my phone but my brother's phone that I have rooted.

In regards to NFC, the icon does not show at the top of the phone when on. It is not that I use it but this is the same case on my Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Is the icon removed for a reason?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Yes, on lollipop it was changed to false in the build prop file. Change it to true save and reboot. Then the icon will appear like on KK

D2303 5.1 deodexed z2 port+z5+X apps+themes, be,xr,sv,ad,XZRt2urecovery,xposed,z5 cam2.0,xLOUD,S-Force,viperaudio+more
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
It is already fixed, and if you just used the search function it'd appear...
[Sony Xperia M2] solehud:

[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I'd like to say that the phone lags like crazy with Facebook, messenger, G+, the Google app and Chrome installed at the same time. I uninstalled G+, the Google app and Chrome, in Chrome's place I installed Opera and I must say performance is better than ever!
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Regarding Facebook, it's absolutely normal, try Facebook Lite. Same goes to Messenger, but since there'sno Lite app for it, I prefer using it on PC only or via web.

About Google App, it's doing well (at least here). For browsers, I recommend the Xperia (integrated) browser and Firefox, which works pretty well too!
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Yeah man, my point is that my phone is performing marvelously with Facebook and messenger installed!
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
That's weird actually, because in my phone that's the root of the problem, and I noticed it :D
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I also have my max CPU frequency at 1.19 GHz and my minimum at 300 MHz and the governor is interactive. In case that helps :D

Xperia Z5 STYLE 4.6 announcement - Are you ready?

Starting right now,

Xperia Z5 STYLE 4.6

starts rolling out to all!

Please note: This time, you won't get an OTA notification. As people preferred a full update package (for newcomers, for example), instead of a delta update, it weights 500MB, so it's almost impossible to send it as an OTA, since you'll probably make an incredible DoS to my server. But don't worry! Next updates will surely be in OTA format :D

Changelog:

All bugs and faulty apps, excepting some Sony camera apps were removed or fixed! (Thanks to some tweaking and modding)

Settings app functionality has been extremely improved! Now, the 3 main required-add-ons of the ROM, APN Config, YAAB and OTA Updater have been integrated directly into the Settings, and thus,

removed from the launcher

to avoid duplicate functions. (APN Config is under Settings → More → Install new APNs, YAAB under Settings → Screen → Automatic brightness, and OTA Updater under Settings → About device → System updates). Also, the Settings icons have been replaced by the new Xperia X ones.

New BootAnimation

s

. Yes, you read it well, bootanimations, since now, in the first boot, you'll be presented with a color-changing bootanimation to let you know if the first boot is doing well, or frozen. When first boot is done, it's replaced with regular Xperia X bootanimation, which I'm quite sure you'll love it ;)

New Android-N-style notification shade and Emojis from Developer Preview 2! As I already previewed some days ago, here you've the flattish Android N style notification shade, plus some new emojis right from Android N, featuring support for Unicode 9!

Support for XPERIA Companion (and PC Companion) added!

A small Stagefright patch has been applied to the system, to avoid MMS RCEs. For those upgrading from older versions, in order to activate it, please,

wipe data of the Xperia Messaging app

.

New Number Assistant app included, letting you block unwanted calls and SMSs.

Updated launcher (Xperia Home 10.0.A.0.40), featuring slide-down-to-search function right from the desktop and app drawer icon rearrange (if wanted).

New Xperia X system sounds added, featuring new ringtones and notifications.

All System apps, and SuperSU package were updated to it's latest version as of today.

And some other things I can't recall right now...

To download this new version, go to the OP and download the version corresponding to your currently active channel. (If you were already a beta tester, download 4.6b, if not, download regular 4.6)...

Please refer to the

Upgrade (Manually)

section in the OP if you've any doubt on how to proceed.

Enjoy, and have a nice day!

NOTE

: In case SuperSU is missing after making an Upgrade, install the apk from /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk using a root file explorer. Once done it should work again.

Liking it so far? Help us spread the word!

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
You're correct my friend. Didn't happen on my phone, but happened on a friend of mine, SuperSU is missing for some reason even though SU binary works.

To get it back, go to /system/app/SuperSU/ and install the SuperSU.apk like you normally do. That should be enough.

Hi mate, thanks for the update, but adaptive brightness is force closing all the time.

That's because you disabled YAAB, true? :^)
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
Indeed, I disabled it..

I thought that there's no effect for disabling it.

Thanks mate.

But, does the notif badge work?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No, and sadly it's not my fault, it's Sony's fault for changing the way the badges of the applications behave.

You may need to wait a few updates of your apps (Like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.) to get it to work, it's on those developers hands to add support to the new badge system.
[Sony Xperia M2] dark-mew:
Ohh okay mate.

It's okay.. So sad sony has changed it.

Well, thanks for your great work..

Time to fill in my report!

-The ROM installed just fine with a dirty flash! (Had to install xposed and the camera tweaks again though)

-The Z5 welcome boot sequence was a nice touch ;)

-everything works as did the prior release

- SuperSU was missing, but I followed your tip on installing it again (/system/app/supersu.apk)

-DAT new boot animation :D

-I can't tell a huge difference between the notification tray from the last version though

-All and all it's more than safe to flash and works perfect!

Im using z5 style on my m2 aqua and i want to reset my m2 aqua to a fresh stock rom on flashtool but failed.. help anyone?
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
You need to give more info if you want someone's help. My guess is that you need to use older Flashtool 9.18.6 or the newest (i didn't try it but it's reported in Flashtool thread that is working)

Good Luck!

[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION]

Like the new bootanimation great work :)

Other bootanimation (xperia one) should it be loaded some time or it's for testing/changing? Coz i reboot 3-4 times and on Z5 Style bootanimation is showing.

Beside everything is working as on previous versions in new beta i feel some speed and it's smoother. :highfive:

All the Best!
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
As Dzepar said, try using an older version of flashtools, which might be the problem. Check if you've proper drivers for it too.

Yes, it changes once first boot is done, thanks to a init.d script and a goat file placed in /system/media, called firstboot. If that file got deleted, for any reason, before first boot, it won't change anything. First, check if the init.d there's a 01first_boot script, and if not, tell me and I'll send it to you. If it's there but it didn't get triggered, then try making an empty file in the media folder with "firstboot" as name, and set it's permissions with 0644. That should be enough :)

(If after all of that it doesn't work, and you want to go further, make sure the firstboot and 01first_boot files exists, and then, run on a elevated terminal

sh /system/etc/init.d/01first_boot

Once done we might be able to see the problem in the output)

Also, thanks for sending that optimization via PM, I'll include it in next updates! :highfive:

[Sony Xperia M2] deszczuXS:
Sound enhancements and headphone choose don't effects. I use equalizer and any affect. Clear audio, clear phase, xloud, s-force and vpt don't give me any effect. This is not only rom, where sound enhancements don't works any effects :(.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
And why don't you try with a different FTF? Because, to me it looks like an invalid one.

You can grab one from here and/or here.

That's the problem.

Well, you're the very first person to complain about that, so I guess you previously had something installed, that's now making a conflict, and it probably was another audio mod.

I'd suggest you to install the rom again, to flash from scratch, starting by flashing an adequate FTF for your device. Once done, do the installation process once again, as described in the OP.
