ONLY Marshmallow ROM with working TWRP !!!

I've been "rooting" and customizing smartphones and tablets since the first Apple iPhone

so please believe me when I say that I am not a novice. I say this because until today

I could not get ANY of the Marshmallow ROMs available on XDA to give me ANY recovery access

on my Z2 6503. This includes Xistenz and ALL the other current rooted Marshmallow offerings that claim to

include ability to reboot into recovery.

Until today, every time, I wound up going back to a stock 264 ROM by way of

using Flashtool 0.9.19.7 to enter bootloader, install D6503_23.1.A.1.28_Customized NCB (Nordic Combined).ftf

which I then rooted with NewKingrootV4.62_C133_B233_xda_release_2015_11_24_105243.apk ,

then installed Busybox.apk then installed XZRecovery.apk to restore TWRP, all so i could

then reboot into TWRP to restore my 264 backup from SD card. What a pain & waste of time!

Furthermore, after reading a post about installing this ROM without wiping data, I decided to try

simply wiping cache and davlik cache in my TWRP v2.8.7.0 and the results are ...

FANTASTIC!

1. This ROM is less than 700MB so it downloaded in 9 minutes

2. After wiping cache & davlik cache only, it installed in about 2 minutes.

3. Rebooted system, took about 5 minutes to upgrade 222 apps and then I started testing

my fav apps: MeShare, Chrome, Dish, Jump Desktop,myQ, Wink, email, messaging, Android Wear,

camera ...even my Nova laucnher is working perfectly! Tested Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, Ultra Mobile LTE...

all system GO!

I hereby award xswxm and this ROM

5 STARS * * * * *

Glenn ;)

Note: Rebooting into TWRP Recovery does seem to require tapping the volume down key

but once there, TWRP working perfectly which allowed me to create a full backup and

then rebooted perfectly into system.

My current smart phones & tablets:

Sony Z2 6503, 2 BLU Life One 4G & Blu C 5+5 LTE both running Android 5.1, Nexus 7 on 5.1, Teclast X98 Air 3G dual boot running Windows 10 and Android 4.44

almost forgot my Sony Smartwatch 3

Strange reboot daily in the morning around 6 am

Since 2 days I am having a weird problem...my phone reboots around 6 am in the morning from 2 days.What might be the reasons for this? I am using greenify with no mod,no xposed install. I use greenify to hibernate apps...nothing more. Any help is appreciated.... Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
Even I am facing this issue exactly at the same time you mentioned since last 2 days. Are you using Kernel Adiutor?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikrant7027:
Yes...I am using it....is it causing the issue?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
I think Yes. Because after installing it, I am facing this problem.

Basically I installed it for changing Low Memory App killer settings.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] epypro:
Is there a way to change the Temperature of the screen (like LiveDisplay in CM12) to calibrate whites in this rom? Any mod?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oppofind5:
I've got Kernel Adiutor too installed for Low Memory Killer settings and i have not got any problems with my z2 :)

I deleted kernel auditor...still my phone rebooted today morning...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
Have you reverted the settings done in Kernel Auditor to default before deleting it?

Well, even mine also rebooted. But around 5.30am.. Don't know what's going on.

If it's not Kernel Auditor, then what else?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikrant7027:
I simply deleted kernel auditor...

The only thing remaining now is greenify with shallow hibernation and aggressive doze mode enabled...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
Yes. Even I have all those enabled on Greenify. Please let me know the result.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikrant7027:
I will try to disable shallow hibernation and aggressive doze mode one by one...you also let me know

It's only mobile and wifi location service with problems, so maybe is a google services problem. GPS works fine.

Can someone test my attached zip and see if it fixes wifi/mobile location with .575?

I did a comparison of /priv-app/ between 570 and 575 and noticed that "com.qualcomm.location" was missing in 575...

Whats the password for it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
What's confirmed? For you? Obviously, since the bootloop fix isn't part of the ROM by default (same goes for existenz) it is not necessary for all but for some..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] twistedddx:
Maybe it depends if you updated bootloader for full recovery mode via Sony flash tool.

Eg you updated to legit Sony mm then installed rom after.

For me no bootloop fix was required.

Updating from 570 to 575 Ultraslim - NO data wipe

I've been running the ultraslim 570 ROM for months

and decided to update from Stock 570 to the June 6, 2016 version of 575.

I assumed that framework would be the same so I did NOT wipe my data.

I wiped ONLY Dalvik Cache and Cache before installing the 575 ROM.

However, I did not want to take a chance on bootloop so I also installed the bootloop zip BEFORE

leaving TWRP Recovery.

Restarting system took a few minutes to update my 213 apps.

I am happy to report that EVERYTHING on my D6503 is running PERFECTLY!

Thank you xswxm for your continued fine work,
