Im noob spend 2 weeks to install existenz rom haha?. First i did unlock bootloader then dont know why but i got ressuriction remix after few days i found that there is so many lags haha?. After that install lineage same s*it then found this rom. Trying to install stock rom with flashtool got error flashing aborted? trying to solve the problem i think that was drivers reinstall all drivers got the same . Then i ask my friend maybe my pc is s*hit got his laptop install flashtool got ftf files and what do u think??? I got error again. So many smart people said that you have to get older flashtool and use xperifirm to install rom but nothing helps. Then i found Sony Emma spend 10 mins and i did it i got stock rom?? then follow all steps and i got Existenz rom so happy omg? Everything works perfect but i found some bugs when you go settings/exiztens everything is in english but im using other language .
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
What do you expect from ROM maker, multilingual ROM settings? Well that takes time, a lot of times...

And you should have done something wrong as the other ROMs you mentioned above are smoother than ever compared to stock based ROMs.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] oleg1127:
Thanks for answer. Well language is not that big problem. It just nice to read only haha. Yep i know about the roms they are easy to install but there is some bugs in roms like automatic brightness which is woking with delays or not working and some other bugs.Only one problem this rom (existens) needs clean install. And because of that i got problems to install stock sony rom because of sony flashtool and im not the only one who got the same problem with flashtool but thanks few people who recommend me sony emma . Now everything works fine without lags

I'm having an issue with "screen overlay" settings, anyone help me get rid of the nags? I turned all options off but it has no effect on the nags to disable it. The screen overlay nags stop me from completing alot of changes to my system. As well I've lost my reboot options, I cannot choose to reboot, reboot to recovery, etc. The recovery is present if evoked manually but no softbuttons...any ideas?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Use no overlay warning xposed module.

// Press thanks if it helped. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] LittleBoyBlue:
I haven't installed any xposed modules yet, I'll run the mods...it's been awhile since I've touched this phone and I kinda forgot about the modules

Gesendet von meinem D6503
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] LittleBoyBlue:
Worked awesome to correct the overlay... I forgot how much xposed really modified my user experience. Props to Niaboc for creating a masterpiece of code that hadn't needed any attention at all until this past Saturday. This set was running 4.5 Ultimate since it's release! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Nice run Niaboc, very impressive :D

Gesendet von meinem D6503
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] LittleBoyBlue:
1 issue remains. Everything awesome except the LED notifications... All White and nothing I've read has corrected mine...has anyone figured out what exactly is causing the abnormality? I can live with it the way it is but I'd really like my charge indicator back

Gesendet von meinem D6503
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
I never had this problem when I used this rom.

There is LED control in settings. Tried that ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] LittleBoyBlue:
Oh yeah, tried that, and pretty much every led control app in the play store but regardless I only get white led.

Hello, How can i add the new emojis from this rom to eXistenz ultimate v 4.5.0(kitkat 4.4.4) ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Vixificent:
Hi everyone,

I've got a question concerning quick settings. I would like them to be locked down by PIN on the lockscreen or totally disabled there. Because otherwise anyone could change any settings, like plane mode, gps, mobile data without PIN. Potential security issue.

I use to do it with GravityBox, but it the SystemUI doesn't care about the settings from GB.

Any way how to do it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Replace NotoColorEmoji.ttf in /system/font.

I tried, it is not working

Nougat In Future

Do you have any plan to update this rom to Nougat in next version?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
It's possible if Z2 is subjected to have an official Nougat update. But unfortunately no.

hi guys,,i install this rom 8 months ago on my z2..i feel my z2 become a little slow..now i want to do factory reset..which procedure i will do?reset on the settings or in the twrp?thanks

Can someone tell me how I can downgrade from Resurrection Remix Nougat to this ROM? I can't manage to do it. The image doesn't flash. Gives an error.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:

FTF needs to be flashed in flash mode!!!

Better use flashtool to do the job, and please make sure you wiped user data in flashtool, too.

Many thanks to @ kingdj for his amazing tutorial about blur: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/guide-how-to-port-blur-option-cm13-6-0-t3369411/page2

I've used that code it until v2.5 then remove it due to some speed issues...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rfg13:
problem with Exposed

After installation of this ROM I couldn't install xposed? I have used to use Xposed with different ROMs before without any problems.

Another issue with this ROM: the phone gets hot after 3-5 minutes of simple operations ( I am not a gamer).

The previous ROM -Mx ROM|V8.6.0- got much longer battery life.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
1. You can no longer install xposed using xposed installer. You have to manually flash the installer in TWRP. And please update your xposed installer to newer versions (>3.0), v2.8.7 or before do not support MM.

2. Your phone gets older day by day.

[MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION]

Stupid question: How is XZ compared with old Z2? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raminta:
Yes you can
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Sad truth, except the storage upgrade, Manual Camera control and fingerprint, I don't feel the upgrade worth it at the moment.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 609125:
Hi. I have already installed the rom's last version.

I have a question. ¿How can I install Magisk?

¿There is any tutorial?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kee86:
Does mobile bank app work with this rom thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes, but you will have to use SUHIDE or MAGISKHIDE.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

To install Magisk, you have to uninstall SuperSU and install a patched version of Magisk. But start from the beginning, you cannot remove SuperSU in this ROM so it wont be possible to install Magisk on this ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 609125:
And could you release the last version of this rom without SuperSu? Or if you can tell me how to remove it, I will do it (I will try it).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
I am not a developer for this ROM and if SuperSU is removed the system will be super unstable and impossible to use.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] thelegendy:
I have weak WiFi signal problem. On stock, there is no problem. I don't understand why. I flashed WLAN_FIX, but still exist. Could anyone solve this problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jabr1G:
Thanks for this awesome rom,,

Is this will up date soon??

may be with nougat systemUI style will the best rom;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Read before posting, update has been stopped for almost a year...

Hahah,,sorry for my stupid question,,,:o
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manicdepresiff:
I installed this rom v5.0.1 verison. Mobile data isn't work. In last version, fixed this problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Always make sure you are on the latest version to make bug reports, if any.

Also if you are having a Z2 variant other than D6503, you need to flash the appropriate baseband patch so as to put RIL or RADIO to work.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Little Snevil:
Or only try to set your APN manually. ?*♂️
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manicdepresiff:
Thank you so much. I solved this problem

Hi when uploading video in InstagramThe program closes where the problem
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
No logs no clue, no problem when last time I use, use pure ROM without any MODs then try again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tooplanx:
I'm having problems with the ROM: keyboard won't go away after Internet searches and the on screen graphics often get mixed up showing two layers at once.

Anyone else have this?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
I only had this when the RAM is fully used... Did you tried clearing recents or restarting SystemUI?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tooplanx:
Yeah, restarting System UI temporarily fixes the problem, but I don't want to have to keep doing that several times a day.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Tried factory reset?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tooplanx:
No, but the ROM has only been installed for a coupke of days. I could try redownloading the ROM from scratch and reinstalling I guess.

I have also installed the black UI mod as well so that could also be causing the problems.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes definitely, that mod has long been not working.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tooplanx:
Ahhh... Okay. Shame no one has updated the post about it!

It's a shame it doesn't work anymore either because I hate the battery draining, eye-hurting white UI.

Can I uninstall the black mod, or do I need to reinstall from scratch?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Reinstall.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fnscar:
How can I update inbuilt supersu?

Flash the supersu zip via twrp?

I recently installed the Existenz rom + v5.6.5 update. then boot loop occurred. and I flashed the boot loop fix provided in the thread but still, my device is boot looping. Previously I used RR rom. should I start from flashing the stock ftf using flashtool? is that the problem? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raminta:
yes you should start from ftf
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zakaria.mahmoud94:
why Removed Multi-Window from systemUI and settings in the last update ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pact:
Because multiwindow isn't officially supported on marshmallow, so in this rom the button to activate it in recents page will be blocked by some other function, app lock I think.

Anyways even if it can be activated it's not worth it. On 6.0 its real buggy, apps can FC often, the window is too small, and there's no way to easily control it for example which apps are on top/bottom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Andrea25:
does anybody know how to have the new sony lockscreen clock on this ROM?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Flash a new SystemUI port. You can find related links and posts in the forum.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Andrea25:
I've already searched all across the forum with no luck. I tried to replace the Existenz ui with the new ui with fixing permissions but I lost all Existenz settings
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yup that's the trade off.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zakaria.mahmoud94:
I used multi window in stock firmware before using this rom . I like to open and use two apps in the same time .

any way to restore it to rom ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Activate it in eXistenZ settings.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zakaria.mahmoud94:
in last update 5.6.5

this option is removed !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Yup. Though you can try the build.prop method.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zakaria.mahmoud94:
I tried

Not working !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Change ro.build.user= from user to userdebug, then enable Developer Options in Settings then inside you will see the Multi-Window switch.

EDIT: I remembered the reason for removing the button is that it is now overlapped With the App Lock button, so enable it at your own risk and no further support will be given.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zakaria.mahmoud94:
I tried

Not working !

no risk happenes for my device
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cristixperia:
Still on existenz.;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] XoloQ1000AYRoot:
I had few questions

1 How much time should it generally take for first boot?

2 Can we flash Magisk with the rom.

I followed the procedure from first flashing stock ROM from flashtool, then installed the TWRP and then flashed this ROM after wiping everything but at the time of first boot it was just stuck on the boot logo I waited for almost half n hour but still it was on the logo I want to know is there any problem with the installation or it takes this much time?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tapo85:
You need flash bootloop fix after flash rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] XoloQ1000AYRoot:
I tried that as well but it isnt working.

I am really fed up with this now isnt there any other way to flash this rom? I think it gets a boot loop with the stock marshmallow rom.

Finally I succeeded flashing the rom

Can anyone tell me how can I flash magische and which Version because the official one is not installing because in that process I lost my current root as well.

And now again one problem of screen overlay. No matter what I do it does not allow screen over apps and asks that irritating dialogue box of setting permission turning off the screen overlays but I can't do it as well. Isn't there any good ROM for our Devices?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AzraelX:
Of course there is. Try RR.it is actually pretty cool rom. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Magisk v13 onwards should be able to be directly installed on Sony stock-based ROMs.

There's a xposed module called "Disable Screen Overlay" which should solve this issue once and for all.

Try out my team's Carbon ROM or RR ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] XoloQ1000AYRoot:
About Magisk v14 that is not possible I tried flashing latest version but it doesn't work and the root with supersu is lost as well.

About Overlay issue

thanks but I figured out that the problem is with the twilight app when it's running, setting permission isn't possible they probably have one option in their app settings so its solved now. Or you have to install other app for that function.

I had RR ROM previously but I missed the stock features like the camera quality and headphone selection with digital noice cancellation. So this ROM has pretty much what I need so I'll stay on this.

Thanks anyways for the help
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Man, how can you be still on existenz :silly:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kee86:
Is this the best rom for locked bootloader
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Undoubtedly.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cristixperia:
Why not? Existenz is more stable than Los or RR, and all Sony features work (noise cancelling, x-reality, etc).;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
There is always people who choose stability (and stock features) over newer Android versions (and ported functions), vice versa...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cristixperia:
Exactly.

Is not a big difference between marshmallow and nougat, also Sony released a very stable build for Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Soon it will be a quite big difference when it is no longer a sweet you eat rather than a kind of biscuit you chill.

As always, no ETA if you get what I mean:silly:

But still, nevertheless, Z2 is the 2nd if not the best satisfying device I have since 2012... (Cuz there's a phone named Z...) which has the longest and widest official software support (Android SDK 17 to 22) I have ever seen...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] makis780:
Hello guys.

Sometimes a "ui system stop working" error occurs on the phone. In a particular bank application it makes this mistake. Why? What's wrong?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Same happened to me also on a bank app!

That's odd
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Vitorhugo162008:
EXistenZ in my opinion is the best custom ROM based in Stock Sony. Have all the Sony features and it delivers more functions that it does not implement and practically has in all Custom AOSP and all this can be used even for people who want to have the bootloader locked. I just do not use it because I want to use a ROM with updated android and I do not care so much about losing Sony functions.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kee86:
Thank you everyone will download it and give it a try
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ashieve666:
i have z2 docomo version , and i want flash this rom, should i wipe internal on twrp ? lastime i flash other rom, my storage back to 16gb , menwhile docomo rom has 32gb,

my question is, if didnt wipe internal mmc , it is still 32gb right ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
This ROM won't repartition your eMMC so it should be kept a partition size of 32GB untouched.

Often when I double tap the phone to unlock it shows me the option to change the lockscreen clock, quite annoying when it changes by itself .

Any way to stop this?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
I have not experienced this at all during my several months time with this ROM, maybe try double-tapping on the area outside where the clock lies?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Yeah I'm doing that and it's fine
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] makis780:
I have noticed that when it waits to give a code and you get Sms at the same time then it makes the error with the UI system. Is there a solution for this?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
This ROM was made when there's no SafetyNet, so either live with it or move on to another ROM...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Nah that's not safety net problem cause my banking app doesn't bother with it on any other device or rom without safety net :p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Still happens very often it sometimes shows a glitched version of the clock chooser
