Hi dude. It's me again! :D I'm currently on the 486 Beta. If i upgrade to the 570 official, can I update without clearing my phone data, apps etc? please reply i really want to update from beta to official but i don't to lose any data. Thanks! :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zevzek:
Yes, you can either flash the zip without wiping data partition, or you can flash the ftf and exclude data partition.

That way you lose no data.

You don't, you download ftf using XperiaFirm or from a dedicated thread here on xda.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] elementzero23:
Then how do you install .570 over .486? Do you have to do a complete new installation, coming from stock rom?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Chronic2k13:
You won't lose any data Mate!!! I upgraded and lost nothing!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zevzek:
Nope, flashtool takes care of everything.

Also, you can download ftf from here.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Brandon Nel:
Thanks i'll try. :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bacardiandwatermelon:
Just don't select the wipe the user data option
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Brandon Nel:
ok! :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] elementzero23:
Thank you for you replies, sounds great, but how do you get recovery then?

EDIT: Oh and when trying to download the firmware via XperiFirm, it says "error while unpacking" (I tried the US and Australian release)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zevzek:
Well if you want recovery, you can't use flashtool as it's used to flash stock unchanged non-root systems.

To have root and recovery you have to flash prerooted zip and then install recovery.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] elementzero23:
So there is no way to upgrade from rooted .486 to .570 and keep root and have recovery afterwards (and do not lose data, otherwise I could do a fresh install)?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] saeedbg:

Without wiping data? Sounds risky (bootloop)

Nice

Thanks Brow!

My device is the Brazilian version.

Model: D6543

Before to install this version, i installed the version of Android 5.1.1 , for the model D6503.

This work perfectly. No bugs. But, i lost the radio function, and tv digital app, because the version D6503 don't have this features.

After this, i installed this room, and it is perfect!

Best regards from Brazil! :highfive:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] elementzero23:
Well, when I installed it, it was.

But now I upgraded to .570 via Flashtool and lost root :-/ The only way to regain it would be to do a complete fresh installation!? Or is there a method to root .570?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bzlmdfk:
How get on recovery? Ndr not working same switch off and vol.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Chronic2k13:
I don't know if it's a bug or not but I've no sound on the alarm!! Has anyone else encountered this problem

It was a sound mod! Flashed the rom again and problem sorted!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Perhaps you have to redo the procedure now. you can roll back, get recovery and simply flash the pre rooted with recovery 570 on the OP or try using RecRoot v2, idk much about it but maybe it can do the job.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Unfortunately it is the same for me, I tried patcher twice but it is not working and gets the bootloop after reboot. Other modules are working fine.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dudeperfect:
Did you reboot without opening the lucky patcher? You actually have to open the app (before rebooting) for it to work.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] guhvanoh:
To all of you folk mentioning that patching software, be aware that could lead to you being banned from the forum. I would advice editing your posts and removing mention of it.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Both times I rebooted without opening it first, should I retry opening it first then rebooting?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sephiroth2k:
I've been running this rom (570) on my D6503 for two days now, coming from Lollipop 232. Here's what I've noticed:

1) Bluetooth audio stutters intermittently (I've heard this will be fixed soon with an update from Sony).

2) Battery life is better than Lollipop with Stamina Mode disabled, but not as good as Lollipop with Stamina Mode enabled.

3) Everything is smoother- fewer lags in animations, faster app opening, etc.:good:

UPDATE: Bluetooth skipping cause confirmed as FM radio.

Anyone know how to disable FM radio service?

I think it is com.stericson.hardware.fm.IfmReceiver , I found it by running "service list | grep fm", can't seem to stop it though.

There are also the files libfmradio.so and libfmradio.sony-v4l2.so in /system/libs

UPDATE 2: Success. Renamed libfmradio.so to libfmradio.so.bak and libfmradio.sony-v4l2.so to libfmradio.sony-v4l2.so.bak using root explorer. Also renamed Radio3.apk to Radio3.apk.bak in /system/app.

com.stericson.hardware.fm.IfmReceiver is no longer running. I'll see if this resolved bluetooth stutter :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dudeperfect:
Yes.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Can I flash this directly from PureX 5.1.1 considering I have recovery? Or should I return to 5.1 stock first then flash this rom?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ghostofcain:
Nope, it's so fundamental to my use, in that I need to be able to restore data using Titanium (or similar) and am unable to do so, that I have abandon the idea of updating to marshmallow for now and will stick with my current setup.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] OSI007:

I fixed the two major issues I was having on MM, muffled microphone during phone calls and skipping bluetooth audio.

To fix the muffled in call microphone volume, edit your build.prop and set persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false .

To fix bluetooth music skipping, disable the FM radio service by renaming /system/libs/libfmradio.so to libfmradio.so.bak and /system/libs/libfmradio.sony-v4l2.so to libfmradio.sony-v4l2.so.bak using root explorer. Also rename Radio3.apk to Radio3.apk.bak in /system/app.

A third tip, I made the flashlight brighter by editting /etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg and setting if_torch_vr=300000 . Be mindful of possible overheating with extended use.

System kills apps

Hi guys, first of all thanks to the developer for the wonderful work.

I have a question: anyone have issues with task manager? I mean: I realized that I can keep more than two apps in background because system starts to kill them, so when I go back in one of them, this starts again not resuming its last state... can anyone help me or give me some some suggestions for resolve this? (maybe with some settings to modify with kernel auditor or similar apps)

Maybe its stupid question, but is it safe to delete this files???

edit: Based on my observation, it seems that the problem is only in the graph which is misleading. But wifi is not actually turned on like it has a wakelock. I don't feel that the battery is getting drained. I still get SoT more than 4hrs on my daily usage which is better than KitKat so I guess I can live with it.

Hi, I don't have write permissions for the sdcard

I heard this is fixable by editing packages.xml.

Easy, so edited by adding a line per app that needs sdcard write permissions.

But after each reboot it somehow edits or rebuilds it's own packages.xml and the changes are gone.

Is there a sdcard write permission fix? And no I don't want to use rooted apps all the time. Some don't ask for root so how would I give it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
no solution yet ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] magpte:
I had tried editing the platform.xml and works well in the app needs external sdcard. With replacing those line below

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="media_rw" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

2. flash this rom then reboot.

1. I unlocked the bootloader as per Sonys instructions.

2 I flash the phone with the ftf using flashtool.

3. Couldn't get root with CommunityRootKit so i resorted to Kingroot.

4. Install busybox, and TWRP. Also I installed the latest sirius recovery.

5. Load the zip onto my phone and try to install with TWRP.

This is where it fails, my phone just reboots instead of recovering to the image in the zip. Any ideas what i might do wrong?
