[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] posted himself.

You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:

-Don't update busybox

-Don't update Kernel

-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)

If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.

If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.

Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!

Lag problems:

-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)

-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)

If you still witness lag after that:

-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.

-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)

-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.

-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.

-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.

-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version

Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:

-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)

Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.

Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work

-Remove beta feedback app

You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

i have a problem...

using v 3.5 existance and when i open camera then navigation bar does not showing.. any help?
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Are you using the default camera app? Do you use a theme?
[Xperia Z2 General] Ab.Shaheen:
am using default camera..

it also does not works on previous versions of existanc marshmallow.. :(

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

i just checked on another camera app... but same result....

not showing there also..
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Did you try another theme?

Did you try cleaning all data of the camera app(s)?
[Xperia Z2 General] xRevengerZee:
systemUI and lock screen are very laggy i tried clean install didnt work also dirty one and had same resualts and thats the only issure i ever faced using this rom since lolipop
[Xperia Z2 General] rudhraraj:
nope default camera iam using.....which comes in existenz v3.5

:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
:confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Did you check the the lag part of the second post?
[Xperia Z2 General] xRevengerZee:
I tried all of what u mentioned but tonight i flashd xperia x system ui v1.5 and that made every thing smooth like never before also i dont have any mods installed but problem is after installing the other system ui now existenz feature dont work

The second post of this topic right here...
[Xperia Z2 General] GalosSide:
i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.

is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Maybe this will work

But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo
[Xperia Z2 General] FellipeSilvaRJ:
Good morning guys

Any idea of what the hell is making Android OS drink my battery like a martini?
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
By just looking at that image, not really.

I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:

I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.
[Xperia Z2 General] FellipeSilvaRJ:
Actually, I take at least 7 pictures with Camera FV-5/ 7 with stock app, with screen brightness full. Used WhatsApp and Telegram too, normally these apps and screen should be on top of the list. I have no idea of what the hell I do :silly:
[Xperia Z2 General] FellipeSilvaRJ:
F***ing 457mAh, there's something really wrong here :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
It keeps your mobile radio active 100% of the time. So the question is, what do you have running in the background that is connected all the time?

By the way, this really has nothing to do with eXistenZ Marshmallow, can you start a new topic please so that this one remains more or less clean?
[Xperia Z2 General] Chathuranga555:
May be you reduce the navigation bar width more than it appears.
[Xperia Z2 General] plnovo.us:
Hi guys, did u notice that Network Mode switch (from quick) is somehow weird? When I switch to f.e. 3g, after reboot network mode is back to LTE, but switch shows 3g. Not sure if its bug, or issue with my network/phone, so im asking if im the only with this issue, before reporting bug. Try it someone, please and report back. Thank you.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Yes, that happens to me too.

Do you have, like me, also that if you change your profile picture (top right of the status bar when pulling down quick settings) changes back to the default icon when you have changed it and you reboot your phone?
[Xperia Z2 General] plnovo.us:
Tried for first time to change pic. :-o For me its working like a charm. Permanent after reboot. Dont you have any permissions issues? My pic is on SD.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
I haven't witnessed any permission issues. I will try using a pic that's on the intenal memory to see if that helps, thanx for the tip ;)

Edit; nope that wasn't a solution :p
[Xperia Z2 General] Ysaadrm:
The ROM worked smoothly with me but my recovery gone a day ago, how is that posible and how to fix this issue, Thanks in advance....
[Xperia Z2 General] FellipeSilvaRJ:
I have the same problem, but it gone when I flash Motorola Gallery and used it to pick a picture
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Read second post, page two here and the last 10 posts in the development topic of the rom, you'll probably find your answers ;)

That was it! I used file commander instead of album to select the picture and now it remains after reboot. Thank you for your help, i'll add this information to the second post. \o/
[Xperia Z2 General] plnovo.us:
Tip: I did a z-ram off and its worth trying. Used kernel auditor, propably easiest, but not cleanest solution. Performance even more smooth, both z2 and z3. Use at ur own risk ;)

Add: Please, if u do mods like this, do not complain and do not report to developer Niaboc, he needs feedback with clean install with no customization to develop new version.
[Xperia Z2 General] McMaddo98:
For me only system UI and lock screen a little bit laggy .. I don't belive that if I wait for a day or two this will solve this problem .. And another question . Is it okay If I wiped system partition before flashing the ROMA?
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
For those who witness lag; try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67319750&postcount=1796

Do a backup first of course...
[Xperia Z2 General] FreshlyBaked 420:
Good idea Knutsel....Niabocs original thread is way to cluttered with the same problems over and over.

Hopefully people will post issues here, I'll check in from time to time as well and see if i can help out.

Cheers!

Battery charge problem

I have a problem in ExistenZ MM. It takes a long time to charge full battery. I used Current widget to check Ampere, about 150 - 600 mA. When I used Stock rom MM, it's about 500 - 900 mA. I used one charger. :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] has made a second test version of the system ui, to try to help people complaining about lag.

First reactions are positive, so if you have lag you could try and flash it.

As always, if you flash something do a backup first, to be able to revert without reinstalling the whole rom.

You can find the zip here

If you use it, be sure to thank [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] for the effort he does to try to help you by providing descent feedback with all the relevant information you have.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
It is normal on a freshly flashed rom that charging is slow, as the charging management software has no information about your battery yet (so it plays it save to prevent problems) plus your system uses more current because it is busy indexing files etc (thus leaving less to charge the battery) . After a few charge cycles, this should return back to normal.
[Xperia Z2 General] MeIDnauL:
Thanks your answer, Mr Knutselmaaster. But I have flashed ExistenZ one week ago, but the charging of battery is still slow. Anyone got problem as me??? :(
[Xperia Z2 General] FellipeSilvaRJ:
My adapter is the Sony original, so I can't help you on it. Try with another adapter and leave some feedback here

LTE coverage in LP everywhere where I live, and now barely catches the 1 line. Also you have weaker coverage in the last Existenz? Xperia z3

Do you have any advice on this?

Sorry for my bad English and I hope for your understanding. (Google translator) :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Try also to exclude possible mechanical problems, for instance try another cable, check the connection for dust or other dirt, try with another charger etc

If the charging amps remain exactly the same it is a problem on the software side of things, if you see a clear difference it is more likely a hardware problem.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
LTE is working fine here, and so does 3g.

Did you already try to (re)download network settings?

Hello!

Exist any method to change the lockscreen animation?

I really hate the current animation, "to left".
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
No, no lag here.

Are there custom kernels that are compatible with the beta marshmallow then (without loosing functions like Stamina and memory manager)?

You could try to find a home with another animation (if it exists) but you'll loose eXistenZ settings. Maybe there is a xposed mod for it but I don't use xposed and I haven't read anything about that a mod like that exists so I don't know but I doubt it.
[Xperia Z2 General] Nekser1208:
Don't works :(

Still try (re) installation Romu with full wipe ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
For those that experience lag/slowdowns :

Install the latest fix from here (as always; backup first)

It doesn't seem to be necessary to do the settings from that post.

Then, use your favorite system settings app (For example Kernel Auditor or System Tuner) and set the minfree to medium.

If you don't know how to use those, please don't post it here or in the development topic, but search a bit or make a separate topic in the help section.

Edit:

The flashable fix is for the 3.5 version of the rom only

!
[Xperia Z2 General] mfauzirahman:
This setting right?
[Xperia Z2 General] sonnu0100:
Why not make a draft for user who have any issue regarding thia rom . This way the developer can get some more info which will be more precise and helps in better solution of the problems faced by user ..

Every user who faces some lag or whatever problem should fill this draft first .

Version : 4.0.1 ( latest or mention yours)

Model number: d6502/6503

Bootloop fix flashed : yes/No

Installation: fresh - full wipe /dirty flashed from which version

Any other mode used : like DRM, sound mode, flashlight mode etc

Xposed installed: yes/no

Xposed modules: if yes (mention some heavy modules)

Last restart time : hours/days

SPECIFIC ISSUE : #############

Heavy apps or user app which cause issue: mention them

Specific solution u tried : like restart, or any other .

LOGS : Please include them for further development.

Every user have to report the problems in the predescribed format only .. This will consume some time to write all that but will save the developer some time . And by comapring all the developer can have a better idea of problem.

Can you add this to OP please with credits[emoji6] , if u think so . I am posting the same in developer thread too so that niaboc can add this to OP too .

Hit Thanks , if Somebody helps you..?
[Xperia Z2 General] laofan:
I like the idea.

It's just some people would never read or think before they ask questions. They just want to be spoon feeded like babies. I doubted that they would read the second post or even the whole OP.

Others like you, probably have provided details like this or even a log .

If everyone could directly ask questions here rather than the development page, it would already save the dev lots of trouble.
[Xperia Z2 General] McMaddo98:
can anyone suggest me a good sound mod for the latest ExistenZ ROM ?
[Xperia Z2 General] sonnu0100:
Whenever a user report a issue we can direct him to this post so that he can report issue like this or his issue will not be noticed .

I know it can be a little harsh but u said correct some guy only like spoonfeeding . Not reading OP or using the search button even once . I dnt think they even deserve to be noticed if they dnt respect the dev hardwork . It will b little furstating to repeat the same simple solution again again .

Hit Thanks , if Somebody helps you..?

Hello,

I used the Xperia home delivered with the Rom. If i press the home Symbol it switch to the home screen and it takes round about 3 seconds to display the Icons. They are displayed after each other. Standard Icons used. Xposed installed only xprivacy active. With another launcher no probs. Also using the app button, sometimes it take some seconds until all Icons are displayed. An idea how to get the icon display smooth? It was a fresh install.

Thanks a lot,

Anyways bought this moto x pure bc i dropped my Nexus 6 and the screen cracked (thank God this phone still works lol) and it ran fine on 6.0 but doing what we do, tinker with things I decided to root it. All was fine. Went on to install aicp. Started having reboot issues. Would boot fine and end up on a black screen. Tried to restore to stock, either all links for this crap phone are dead or are incomplete. Been playing with phones for years and I've never had a phone as terrible as this moto x pure. What trash of a device. Reason why I only buy Nexus phones. Anyways if anyone out there had an actual link that still works just to get me back on 6..0 so I can sell this crap please link it.
