Yes, Now Its working on 6.0 I think should work cm13 - Please give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] Hacker432:
This is for sure a great work

Two weakness:

1)Performance

You know, eMMc is way faster than a sdcard and move almost an entire system could result in a very slow device.

2)From the video I seen that it's necessary to remove and then insert again the sdcard.

For lot of devices, like mine too, it's impossible to remove the sdcard without removing the battery too so...power off
[Android Apps and Games] NepoRood:
I have rooted devices that run 5.0 and 5.1, I'll give this a test when I get home and let you know how it goes. May be a while, though, lol. Wifey has plans for today...
[Android Apps and Games] glaks:
I agree on the (1). Performance will be slow. Probably faster (class-10) sdcards might improve the situation.

2) Removing and Insert again is optional target for users who are not sure about device name. If you know the device name , selecting from drop-down & save should be enough to proceed.
[Android Apps and Games] Hacker432:
Good to know
[Android Apps and Games] glaks:
Sure, thanks.. Running it 5.0 & 5.1 would be great. So far, we tested this on 4.4 & 6.0. Results for 5.0/5.1 is completely unknown and currently in-progress.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmc198501:
What all am I risking doing an internal storage wipe? I know whatever pictures and passwords will be gone but what else? haven't done that with a phone that had root and unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homephysician:
You will lose all your data. It wipes it clean.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmc198501:
Will it lock my bootloader back and loosey root that's theain focus
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homephysician:
If you're unlocked and rooted, that will not effect it. Only data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
No. Wiping internal storage has nothing to do with bootloaders or root.

It's a good idea to do so after unlocking a bootloader. Whether or not there are cooties from Kingroot/Kingoroot left, it made me feel better to format internal storage after the unlocking process.

It's probably best to do this in conjunction with flashing a ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmc198501:
OK thanks for the responses back. I jumped on the band wagon when we first got the bootloader unlock method. And have been flashing back and forth between ROMs and its just been piling up unneeded data
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Martincyborg@gmail.com:
Used a x7500 a year and feel the need for a smaller device as a side kick. with all the great improvements in f.ex. the schaps newest ROM would you say the difference between the TyTn I and II justifies and the additional costs of 300 pounds i the tytn II

thanks for all answers and points of view!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Knockz:
I was in the same position. 300$ difference between the two. I ended up going for the cheaper TyTN because the only difference I could really see where the Tilt, Camera and GPS (I got my TyTN with WM6 already installed and they just released the official WM6 for it so that wasn't a factor for me).

The GPS I have in my car. So wasn't really a big thing for me.

The Tilt I didn't care for as it takes enough time to slide open as it is. And I use on screen keyboard a lot anyways to avoid sliding.

I don't use my phone for quality pictures. Usually its just a picture of something quick I wanted to take. But 2mp is enough for me. My digital camera is 2MP and the pictures are still better.

Others may have their reason but I couldn't justify the extra 300. Maybe speed is a factor but I haven't had many problems with that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolecoco03:
The difference is totally justified, I had both and there is a huge difference between them, it's incredible, take the Tytn II !! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Knockz:
What other differences are there that could justify it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] matt1971:
Same as me - perhaps you could wait a month or two until the price drops.

At the moment (As its before the end of my contract) I would have to pay £100 (Upgrade cost) + £130 (Phone cost). My operator is Orange by the way. However they will give me back £150 credit for any old phone - so its £80!!

However, If I wait until the December the upgrade cost is £50, and if I wait until February there is no upgrade cost. At that time the phone could be free - and then I get the £150 credit all to myself!!

Just my thoughts!! However to me the biggest motivation to get the TyTnII is the onboard GPS and that WM6 gives you HTML emails.

Matt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pasan:
Ditto for me, The price difference is not justified just for upgrading to tilt camera and gps. Tilt I don't need, just another joint to loosen up with my kind of usage, and i've got devices for the other two purposes which are much better (i.e. canon and garmin). I'm waiting on the Omni, personally.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] leoiden:
I totally agree

Kaiser is overrated

it is just crazy to believe a cellphone would cost 800 or even 700 just because the sliding keyboard tilts and a front camera which is useless since in the us video calling is not supported!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RojasTKD:
The 3MP camera and built in GPS are not the only improvements and in my opinion not main ones. The dual precessors (400 MHZ OS dedicated and 275 MHz for radio) and the double storage and memory of the is more important in my opinion.

I'd love to have one.

Im trying to figure out a way to change H+ to 4GLTE , without having to put a custom rom. If i have to load a custom rom i will.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pajar0913:
Ill even settle for a custom ROM. Any suggestions
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftdrift:
:rolleyes:Just being curious. H+ to LTE? Is the change intended just on the display like mimicking to show there's newer technology on the device even if it lacks the hardware? How would even a custom ROM make that happen otherwise? I'm running on Cyanogenmod 13 and you can configure to have H+ to display as 3G and LTE as 4G and vice versa but 3G as 4G without the hardware is like trying to video call from a radio.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pajar0913:
Yeah i was just trying to get rid of the H+. Im aware this device isnt able to run LTE speeds.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
Not sure if build.prob able to do this.

But the worst case is extract H+ & 4GLTE from SystemUI. Switch the name. Replace both of the icons with the new names. Copy the modded SystemUI into system.

Hi forum,

I am running an SGP612 with root, TWRP 2.8.7 and Xposed for xprivacy. Did set this up long time ago, and forgot how exactly :( Just remember it took a lot of time for me, not a pro...

What is the easiest way to update To MM without loosing root and TWRP? Pre-rooted Rom? Can I make one myself? I probably have to update TWRP as well?

Would be great if somebody could point me into the right direction just briefly outlining the 2-3 steps I need to take.

Many thanks,

As by this thread, yep, a pre-rooted firmware is the way to go. Since you already have all the rest, you'll only need steps 4 and 5, or even download the readymade firmware the OP provides.

Xposed is not mentioned in that thread, but I installed it on my SGP621 and can report it working just fine.

Hello folks,

after I bricked my Z2 LCD Display, Backcover and Bezel I replaced it twice by used parts from a smartphone dealer. Twice everything worked well except for the displays brightness. It is neary black, only visible under strong light irradiation. That lead me to a problem with the logic board or did I have had bad luck two times? Even if it showed crap, the bricked Display shined much brighter.

Any hints or experiences with that problem?

Regards,

-loepen09
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreas21042:
Hi Loepen09,

I had the same Problem with my first Z2.

Everything worked without problems and suddenly during browsing or something the display got very very dark like in your description. Only under bright light it was possible to handle with the phone...

I've sent it to a repair Shop in Germany, they have replaced the display with backlight twice but no luck..

He said the the Problem was on the logical Board of the phone, something with the backlight Hardware. But instead of buying a new logical Board I bought a new Z2 and sold the old :D

Wish you good luck!

Best Regards!

Andreas

Hi [MENTION=7569295]loepen09[/MENTION]

It is the LCD Illumination Fusible on the Mother board. there is plenty of threads on XDA talking about this one and it can be shorted and bypassed, it could have been blowed out because of the new LCD electrical parameters that differs from brand to another. Z2 comes with different brands LCD From factory.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/help/backlight-xperia-z2-off-t2912525
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loepen09:
Thanks a lot. As I don't have the right tools to bypass the fuse I'd prefer to buy a new Motherboard. Did I understand you right, that the same problem may occur with a new motherboard depending on the LCD brand?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michel090428:
bro, do not waste your money for a new mother board. it is a very easy 5 minutes job. you just need a soldering iron. you can take it to mobile or electronic repair shop and they will do the job for you.

You need to be sure that the problem is with this fusible before buying a new mother board. bypassing the fuse wont do any harm to your phone it just helps you to 100% identify the problem.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loepen09:
Well, I called a few electronic repair shops but they all worry about guarantee. As far as I read about it, I have to remove the fuse and bypass it with solder, right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michel090428:
yes right,

you can test it with a small jumper before soldering and see if the LCD Light illuminate or no. i don't know if you can manage to connect the battery and display and be able to test with the jumper, i think you need some one to help you with holding the mother board in the right position

If you are willing to buy a new motherboard than you can try and you don't have to worry on the Warranty issue electronic shops are talking about
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loepen09:
What kind of jumper are we talking about - a simple piece of solder wire?

Samsung has confimed the Note 7 to me on the phone. I was asking about updates and the guy was like, they wont tell us anything we cant tell to the public like the Note 7 or the Nougat release date. So he called it the note 7 and said it would run Marshmallow. It will also becoming out in July or August.

I forgot to enable tmpfs fix. To do this you have to set your developer password in settings -> developer mode and open terminal, then execute:

After this you reboot your phone and all the jolla apps work normally.

it will not work in multirom probably (90% sure)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] reknew:
after flash sailfish, recovery will still work?

EDIT: another question, I'm using L50U which is Z2 chinese edition, often I flash D6503 rom and then baseband fix zip. is this baseband fix zip could be used as often? or even I don't need it?

EDIT:I tried sailfish and found baseband fix is unnecessary . I can use network, dial and SMS. hope Android app support.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mister_Magister:
Unfortunately no :P

And i think you don't need it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keij0:
I haven't even tested D6502 yet, I'd be happy if someone checked other models out with their baseband fixes.

is there a way to install android apps on this?

and also the dialer doesn't seem to work, it just keep on load displaying nothing

If not, then set your password for devel-su in settings -> developer mode and open terminal, type devel-su systemctl enable tmpw.service, input your password and reboot phone. They will work then. Probably forgot to enable that service in build.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hamzxoxo:
I'll try and will tell you later but then i'll have to switch to stock i guess because i don't have another spare phone to run all neccesory apps

Well ig worked but then is there any work around for running android apps? Because the OS is really good
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keij0:
I need to port sfdroid after I get all the hardware running, after I port sfdroid you will be able to use android apps.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hamzxoxo:
I know but some say that it'll make the os quite laggy as in the ram consumption and will increase i guess, i'm no dev but this is what i read, maybe its true maybe not

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

And is the recovery gone?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keij0:
Official builds for Jolla and Jolla C have aliendalvik, it isn't opensource so I can't include it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keij0:
To get the recovery back you have to flash CM kernel by fastboot, we have 3GB ram so there will be no lags and when you don't need to use android apps you can always turn the compatibility layer off to preserve battery.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hamzxoxo:
can you provide a step by step guide? no rush
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keij0:
No guide yet, because we don't have sfdroid. To flash CM kernel you have to extract boot.img from CM zip and flash it using fastboot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mister_Magister:
Some bad informations. I'll fix them.

Sfdroid is android-in-window. When you flash sfdroid once you cannot turn it on/off. When you have sfdroid then android is running WITH sailfish so (because it's android) it will eat more ram ofcourse (because apps and second OS) and laggy? Don't think so, but yes it will use some CPU because android and apps on it will be running. You will have android as an app. So that is how sfdroid works. Here is video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--OtwvH4ARU
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iArvee:
Unfortunately, doesn't work with Multirom. Oh well, I'll try this as my primary ROM anyway. Great job so far!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mister_Magister:
Multirom have to be with sfos support. Othervise it won't work. Ask your multirom develooer for sfos support.

Bro how did u install it i tried to install cm12.1 after successful flash i reboot but my screen got blank and just vibrate not sony logo nothing only fastboot and flashmode and my phone UB
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hamzxoxo:
Flash any CM12.1 based rom, reboot, then you'll have to flash a recovery as your previous recovery will be replaced by CM's recovery. After flashing the recovery wipe Cache,Data and dalvik cache then flash the zip and it should work. The Sony logo will stay for a while because Sos don't have a bootanimation so wait for it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mister_Magister:
Are you sirius? (i'm so funny haha ha ha...). Don't make people wrong. Flash ONLY lastest cm12.1 otherwise something (or whole system) may not working.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hamzxoxo:
Last time I heard that joke Britain was still in EU.

Well it worked for me, I flashed SOS on RR5.1.1 and It was working flawlessly
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mister_Magister:
But really cm12.1 is recomended. Custom roms do not change anything because you don't even using android so why do you need it if you don't use it. just use cm12.1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hamzxoxo:
It works either way
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mister_Magister:
You can but as i said we don't guarantee that everything will work so DO IT ON YOUR RISK AND DON'T REPORT PROBLEMS UNTIL YOU FLASH CM12.1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mal-:
It is possible to have recovery also in Sailfish kernel and I have done that for 2011 Xperia Sailfish ports. I can give instructions how to do it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] itsnie:
Why ub users not install newest bootloader, that's really usefull
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] itsnie:
Read this or flash latest ftf with unofficial flashtool by androxyde, make sure to tick fota-reset.ta and flash ftf then done, you have install newest bootloader and can boot to recovery with key combinations, no more need kernel compatibility

Oh well, I have that.

Used it for a day,well battery drain is pretty same as on debloated android 6.0 ,even though there is allmost no apps on sailfish.Multitasking takes more time than android (but there are not much apps for it so no real need to switch between them).Its not really intuitive tho, trying to change wallpaper took me 10 minutes.. :p Well anyway it works so goodjob with porting,didnt encounter any more bugs than stated in thread,its just not for me.

Android don't have multitasking. Switching betweeen apps is so much faster than on android, switching wallpaper is easier than on android and faster.
