Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache and format /System

is necessary ""after""

or before ???

or both times when WE port the new rom ? ?

or why we do it if we not do it what happened?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mirosaw2:
When you decide to install a new ROM, then you have to do those wipes,

Cache and Dalvik Cache are related to every APK in the ROM, when you start boot the ROM for the first time, Dalvik cache indexes all APKs and cache it's dex files into the Cache partition, that happens only once, and you can actually see this when Android tells you it's "Optimizing Apps x of x",

So, what happens if installed a new ROM without wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache?,

Dalvik cache won't index the new APKs from the new ROM, and you'll end up having a ROM full of FC msgs,

So, that's why you need to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache when you install a new ROM, before the ROM or after that won't matter, but don't boot up a new ROM without wiping those partitions.

Now that our device (Meizu M2 Note) has its' own forum section, this devDB will be abandonned and the thread moved to : New thread @M2 Note forum

How to report Issues

If you find a bug please check if an exisiting issue is already mentioned and create one with details and logs here : Bug reports @ Github issues

Make sure you fit those criteria first :

Make a backup, do a "Wipe Clean" install

Make sure you don't use MODifications (flash clean, try again)

Check the open/closed issues (most of the problems faced should have a mention about how it was fixed or how to workaround rare bugs)

Check google first, there might already be solutions, there's also "howto" (for making logs, using a different i/o scheduler, etc.. ;) )

Explain and give details, add logs as much as possible (and please take the time to search how to do those tasks, I know most of you are well intentioned when asking "how can I make logs", but you're not helping only me, you're helping yourself and everyone else who might/has the same issue :good: )

Hey, while you're around, could you translate that line in spanish por favor ? :)

https://github.com/Moyster/nougat_d...los-14.1/cmactions/res/values/strings.xml#L18

It's a new entry, add it to strings.xml in values-es/ , it should read "Off-screen gestures" because "Gestures" is already taken for dt2s and some other "not offscreen" gestures, Thanks :)
[Meizu MX] LBA97:
Sure, do you want me to translate the 2 unused gestures too? I'm talking about > and <. I'm glad to contribute in any way I can :p

Thanks again for your work.
[Meizu MX] Moyster:
https://github.com/Moyster/nougat_d.../los-14.1/cmactions/res/values-es/strings.xml

Is this incomplete ? Except the new menu title ? If so, make any changes that fit ;)

edit: to anyone who is willing to add "gestures" translations, feel free to ask.

ps2: Italian needs the new menu title entry :)
[Meizu MX] LBA97:
I think it's fine. I'll add the new line as soon as I get home and I'll check the others translations :)
[Meizu MX] moto999999:
Thanks Moyster, you saved this device :D
[Meizu MX] tomax80:
Hi, I can translate in Italian if you want ?
[Meizu MX] Moyster:
It goes without saying any contribution is welcomed ;)
[Meizu MX] Moyster:
I never liked the meizu swipe-up, so I have no idea sorry =/ but you can use the "virtual navbar", in Nougat with multi window, in order to use the new functions (double tag "app switch" to switch from an app to the other), etc.. ;)
[Meizu MX] mmaks17:
Thank you so much.

Is it possible in any way to transfer the functionality of screenshots from flyme?

for example : long line screenshot, select region screenshot, edit screenschot after take it
[Meizu MX] Xtian Rey:
There are gesture apps on PS that can have swipe up to recent apps in PS.
[Meizu MX] itsmeyukiedcqii:
nice one!

[Meizu MX] Moyster:
Thanks for trying, read bellow ;)

To everyone who's having trouble with proximity sensor, you can find a flashable zip named "Mtk-prox.sensor.FIX.zip" under the download section.

Flash this zip will install the small proximity calibration helper written by xen0n (here - thanks to him ;) )

Usage is simple, if you need to calibrate your proximity sensor, just open terminal app (you can enable it in the Dev Options) and type :

"meizupshelper c" (

c

as in

C

alibration)

I attached a screenshot in case anyone needs it, thanks to KevinMX for testing this and his feedback & screenshot :)
[Meizu MX] Carron:
Hi! [MENTION=7685540]Moyster[/MENTION] on last beta I put the profiles_media.xml and the Instagram record works but the Snapchat record don't works same problem "Video Record Filed" I don't know which is the problem.

Sorry for been late. I await a reply.

Thanks for all work in this device.

Easycap Works

can you make the easycap device works with Meizu M2Note?? :angel:

[IMG="easy cap"]https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1QLDYIXXXXXbWXXXXq6xXFXXXC/USB-Easycap-DC60-STK1160-Solutions-with-3ICS.jpg[/IMG]
[Meizu MX] LBA97:
You need a special software for that, is there any software for android? You can't make it work if there isn't.
[Meizu MX] Moyster:
Without the device, it's kinda hard, but if it doesn't work, you could ask around (on devices who's got it working / easyCAP forums) if there is any kernel options to enable, like v4l2, and stuff related to this.

I'm probably gonna invest or solder iron an usb otg cable soon, to test new features (xbox360/one controllers especially) and otg storage, maybe webcams too. We'll see by then ;)
[Meizu MX] Xtian Rey:
One good way to test if your proximity sensor is working is through Settings>Ambient Display>Hand Wave. Wave your hand over the proximity sensor if the device lights up then its fine.
[Meizu MX] Baijoosharma:
missing smart touch and don't want to use hard buttons like lock home it is fast but not one hand friendly can arrange smart touch like features
[Meizu MX] makuu:
I'm using Smart touch with this rom, it's available in Playstore:

[Meizu MX] Pelillos:
Camera libs and prox sensor

Hi, is the camera library any better? Or the camera app.

How can I solve the prox. sensor problem without flashing more apps?

Any more bugs in this rom?
[Meizu MX] procop:
Almost everything works perfect in this ROM. I only three issues. First. Sometimes I'm losing my data connection (LTE). I think it's caused because I'm using roaming setting (my uses local roaming). I need to change my network for 3G and then back to 4G. Second is less problematic, some green glitches on video playback (not always). Also camera not recording video from time to time.
[Meizu MX] jokerg_ot:
I've tried, It does not work :(
[Meizu MX] kupina:
some issues

I have mtp problem when i connect phone to the pc it shows nothing. Preformance is bad in antutu score flyme shows about 36000 on lineage only about 25000. Battery life is bad too. :D Sorry for my bad English :):o
[Meizu MX] numpea:
1. To connect with MTP you have to click on the notification when you connect your device and choose MTP

2. ANTUTU can be boosted to show that the device is powerful and Meizu has been caught cheeting on benchmarks and points never shows real life usage

3. Battery depends on your usage i can get up to 5h30 SOT minimum of 4h 4h30 SOT
[Meizu MX] IlDouglas:
I've tried it too, but when i go in *#*#4636#*#* and i make my settings the changes don't work and Default network settings are in "GSM only", like before i change it. Have tried with each setting available (i've tried more than once for every setting)
[Meizu MX] numpea:
Maybe because you're using two SIM cards i'm using only one and work perfectly
[Meizu MX] IlDouglas:
I've changed SIM location, because i had only One sim in slot 2 ( in the First slot i had microSD) and doesn't work in that way. With my SIM in slot 1 works nice, but in that way i can't use microSD anymore :crying:
[Meizu MX] LBA97:
There's a trick to use that slot for both. There are videos on YouTube. Mainly the method consists on melting the SIM plastic and gluing the chip to the SD card.
[Meizu MX] mrxtc89117:
I watched that video, but not sure if it will get it stuck inside. Those sim card trays are pretty fragile.
[Meizu MX] hbelove:
mback is great, but there's no swipe from the bottom to call the recent apps.:silly:
[Meizu MX] Baijoosharma:
Yeah and smart touch too missing everything else awesome

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

After doing you can't change SIM daily tray won't come out easily so think before try but it will work
[Meizu MX] tedour:
Thanks for this new ROM.

I want to test this ROM with a dual boot but our device is not listed in supported devices on the DualBootPatcher app (https://dbp.noobdev.io/supported_devices.html)

I have try to install it anyway but i can't launch it. Does someone have any success with this app on meizu M2 note ? Do you use another app for dual boot ?

Thanks in advance.

If you don't know this app, here is the guide i've follow : https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-steps-how-to-dualboot-2-roms-t3470361
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Does this ROM has any theme engine like CM 13 ? And can I configure the notification drawer ?

And how is the battery life in this ROM ?
[Meizu MX] :
CM like theme engine = nope;

configure the notification drawer = yes;

battery life in this ROM = awesome (use greenify for a better life);
[Meizu MX] Xtian Rey:
Use Substratum foe theming.
[Meizu MX] makuu:
Smart Touch can be installed with this rom I'm using it and already mentioned it this thread.
[Meizu MX] Moyster:
Never tried dualboot but there might be requirements (maybe kernel settings/commits needed) like Kexec or something, you might want to see if that's the case and maybe we can add dual boot support to the rom if that's not too invasive :o

New build, btw :

Download

After flashing Build 4 (Beta 4 "Ixemo") and rebooting the phone i'm getting Setup Wizard keeps stopping!!!
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Going to flash this ROM, but I'm worried about the SELinux issue.
[Meizu MX] Baijoosharma:
Beta 4 need to complete wipe? How to take apps backup
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Does anyone know how to change the SELinux to "enforced" mode ?
[Meizu MX] undaclazz:
I got a bootloop when trying to update to latest beta version without wipe anything, and I got Setup Wizard stopped when I did clean install ..

I have to clean install previous beta first then install the latest to bypass the setup wizard ..

ROM is awesome, thanks to Moyster :)

Btw, I use LMT to get swipe bottom up to have recent app, it also has pie so i don't need to use mback button :D
[Meizu MX] :
yep same issue.. got a bootloop with a dirty flash.. at first i thought it was the Super user zip which i flashed causing the boot loop, but it is working fine now.... i didnt have to actually go to the previous build to bypass the Setup wizard, mine worked just fine after a clean install of the new build..

[Meizu MX] afr157:
What is clean install? Is that do wipe data, cache and dalvik? Please help me, my device is bootloop
[Meizu MX] tomax80:
You have to wipe system, data, cache and Dalvik cache.
[Meizu MX] Adiker:
It should work only with Dalvik Cache wipe

I tried 3 times to directly clean install beta 4, but .. no luck, still have "setup wizard has stopped" problem .. it was so frustrating, so I decided to install previous beta first...
[Meizu MX] monnett:
Can't lock data mode on 4g only :crying:
[Meizu MX] numpea:
Try different Gapps package maybe i clean flashed with the 23th open Gapps micro not a single problem
[Meizu MX] undaclazz:
thanks... I use 19022017 open gapps pico btw... it might be the problem...

next time, I'll use up-to-date gapps....
[Meizu MX] :
read below..

As someone said before, You have to wipe system, data, cache and Dalvik cache.. well flashing the previous build gets back the phone running again but if u dont have a copy of the previous build, just wipe everything and clean install.. this should work, but in my case even this didn't work, so i also wiped the internal memory, and this got the phone running again..

In case even u have to clean the internal memory, just use the MTP in TWRP and make a copy of your files on your computer.. :good:

ps: i flashed the GAPPS and SU after the first boot.. that is, after completing the setup wizard.. maybe that is why i did not get the "setup wizard has stopped" error...
[Meizu MX] undaclazz:
yes, I did all what you suggested except wipe internal memory ... I wasn't ready to wipe my internal lol. And I was away from my laptop.
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
I'm facing battery drop after restart.
[Meizu MX] makuu:
Flashed beta 4 + latest nano gapps + SU then 1st boot with no issue.

Before that did full back up on SD from TWRP (for a fast rollback, in case of major issues after flashing),

Backup all apps + data via Titanium Backup, backup call logs & SMS.

Wipe all but storage.

After first boot restored all apps + data, call logs & SMS.

I've always processed this way for flashing a rom, it's fast and secure.
[Meizu MX] Baijoosharma:
After updating beta 4 Goole play store saying uncertified device:laugh::laugh:
[Meizu MX] numpea:
it's not because of build 4 it's because you're running a custom rom (i think)

and it's been there for a while now
[Meizu MX] Baijoosharma:
Yesterday my mobile was certified lol today updated and it showing like this
[Meizu MX] n0p3zz:
I did and i do flashing roms in the same way.

-Regarding new build:

Installed new build yesterday,and everything is silky smooth for now.

Battery drops less then in Flyme,and more free ram.

I use Greenify and i changed permissions of some apps to not to start on boot.

And if you are using Facebook and Messenger app,thats the cause of faster battery drain.
[Meizu MX] y0ung_jg:
That 's a problem.You need to disconnect from the network like LTE or WiFi.Skip wifi connecting wizard.Unplug SIM card.:)
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
After installing this ROM, I faced battery issues.

1) random % battery drop

2) phone is awake in a particular pattern even when screen is not on,, thus I lost around 15% battery overnight. I have attached the screenshot. Please fix it in the next update [MENTION=7685540]Moyster[/MENTION]
[Meizu MX] n0p3zz:
Something is not right then.

Download CPU Spy and check if your phone enters deeps sleep.

My phone doesn't drop that much overnight.
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Installed. And my phone does enter deep sleep. Then why such battery issues :(
[Meizu MX] n0p3zz:
Hmm,

Then probably some app that you have installed drains that much battery.

Install Better battery stats and check wakelocks.
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
I installed only whatsapp, facebook,messenger and instagram. But I've blocked facebook and instagram from running in background. So I'm left with only whatsapp and messenger, now these two are not supposed to consume so much battery or keep awake the phone like this.
[Meizu MX] n0p3zz:
If you dont use greenify to hibernate these two,then they will consume your battery overnight,bcz messenger and whatsapp have syncing wakelocks. Especially if you are connected to wifi or data overnight.
[Meizu MX] amix3500:
On beta 4, hotspot tethering seems like have problem. Neither on dirty install or clean install. Great rom by the way
[Meizu MX] Sanjikun22:
best rom

never give up :good:
[Meizu MX] zoranstojanovic967:
Is there any chance that beta 4 works with a dirty flash? Someone did it?
[Meizu MX] moto999999:
I dirty flashed every release and it is working fine
[Meizu MX] Ricky392:
I just flashed this rom, everything is ok except for a bad battery drain. it's seems correlated with "EINT wakelock" and "PowerManagerService.Wakelocks".

I already tried to reflash but with luck.

Any confirm that I'm not te only one ?

Thanks !

[EDIT]

No deep sleep at all!
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Okay, but what about the battery drop everytime i restart my phone ?

I charged my phone to 100% just now and after restarting the phone battery dropped to 97%

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Same here. I am facing the same problem.
[Meizu MX] kamango:
Disable google location history, camera location and ambient display. Also switch off wifi while screen is off.

It will not completely solve your problem but it will lower your awake time.
[Meizu MX] Moyster:
Heh, didn't try hotspot since last November :D can you try to add this to build.prop :

"net.tethering.noprovisioning=true"

It should help :)

You're not the first, sadly each time someone has this issue, I can't seem to get any more infos, logs, or whatever, open an issue on my github and we'll try to sort this (once again)

When the battery "reaches" 100%, it's not really at "100%", it goes up to 96-98% before slowing down considerably the charger income, to prevent a lot of things (google a bit about "battery phone good practice", and problems related to charging too much a "full" battery).

Then it proceeds to charge "reeeeeeeeeeaaaalllly" slowly up to 100%, in the mean time, if you see "100%" and reboot, maybe your phone only really was around "97%". This and the fact it seems android "calculates" the battery charge / and depletion, and other stuffs, make the values slightly ~unpaired~.

I'd consider an "anormal drop" to be like... you're at 85%, you reboot and your phone is around 67%, this would be wierd.

To everyone :

If you feel adventurous, you can test sdcardFS (a new filesystem for sdcards, it's the "new standart" and most devices switched to sdcardfs), just simply tell android to use it by default !

1. edit /system/build.prop

2. add "ro.sys.sdcardfs=true"

3. reboot

I didn't test this feature personally, hence it's not "enabled by default", any feedback is welcomed ! :)

DO NOT RISK YOUR DATA // MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SDCARD // USE A SDCARD YOU'RE CONFORTABLE LOSING !!
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Okk, thanks, and keep up the great work :good: :)

And hey I'm facing the phone awake issue. I stopped every app from running in the background but still I couldnt figure out whats keeping the phone awake. I guess phone is not going into deep sleep.

If you could figure the problem, then please fix this issue in the next update. :)
[Meizu MX] Archsage:
Anyone can help with rooting? I try install superSU version 2.79 SR3, it installed but no effect on my phone
[Meizu MX] numpea:
here is a stable release of SuperSU 2.79 https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip when flashing the device will reboot itself during the first boot

if it doesn't work for you here it is SU binary for using stock root https://download.lineageos.org/extras download "su (arm64)" and flash with TWRP

if nothing works make sur to reflash the rom dirty or clean flash
[Meizu MX] Suvam Mondal:
Again faced the battery drop problem [MENTION=7685540]Moyster[/MENTION]

Tried to switch off my phone and then switch on, battery dropped from 57% to 46%

And then when again switched off and on my phone, battery went from 46% to 51%

It keeps on increasing/decreasing like this :(
[Meizu MX] undaclazz:
hotspot tethering still doesn't work in Build 5..

already write net.tethering.noprovisioning=true but still fail ..

I submitted log to github...
[Meizu MX] klimu:
Looks like it's working;)

After I added the line in build.prop and restarted the phone I got bootloop. Tried full wipes many times without any success. I was able to properly boot when i formatted SD card in my laptop (removed 2 partitions and formatted whole card to fat32)

Wipping SD card in TWRP only formarts first partition on the SD card and then the SD card in TWRP is visible as 15MB (card is 32GB and before wipe was visible as close to 32GB). But if I reboot to system I can see full size of the card.
[Meizu MX] arunshand:
Great moving for build stable... So advance thanks to all ...
