[Sony Xperia M2] wulf16121994:
Guys, help me out, I don't know how to solve the problem, actually flash any firmware, be it RR, OmniRom, or LineageOS 14.1 , when switched on, lights up when the SONY logo, start jumping vertical stripes, flashing image, etc, after other firmware do not have this, my Virgo Sony M2 D2403? Oh, and if you flash another Boot.img, do not have this, but the phone hangs for a very long time to boot and does not turn on, please help,
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
You mean screen starts "glitching"? I've had that a few times, mostly way back with CM13 (also randomly had once after reflash recently). Did you flash the correct recovery and used actual name (not renamed recovery file)? I remember screen glitching happened when I actually flashed the renamed recovery file. Another thing would be trying to redownload the recovery file, maybe it was slightly corrupted.
[Sony Xperia M2] wulf16121994:
I mean a real name??, please describe in detail, how and why? just do not understand
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
By "real name" I meant the original file name when you downloaded the recovery (twrp-somethingsomething.img). Else, like I said, recovery might have been slightly corrupted somewhere when you downloaded it, so it might be good to just redownload it.
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzordzuxtt:
hi i have rc1 and can i install it without wipe?
[Sony Xperia M2] Nitin69:
You will need to wipe cache, data & dalvik
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
I know this is not best place for this, but maybe someone can help me. Is any way to change recent apps background to walpaper,no last app in background? Left good, right image bad
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
In Configurations settings go to Interface tab > Blur personalizations and disable last setting
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Thanks for try help,but I know this:) I want blurred background, but without app image in background.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
In that case - you can't AFAIK
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Only me have problem with performance and freezing apps on the newest build?

Facebook, YouTube and other apps are freezing for couple of minutes every time when I am using them :|
[Sony Xperia M2] Pitrecha:
I did dirty updates and I have no problems. Apps freeze when they are on the sd card, because my is cheap and slow
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
I have all apps in internal memory and i did a clean flash.

Apps are freezing even for 3-5 minutes, sometimes it is causing a reboot of device :3
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
For me no freezing but lag sometimes, Rc1 is better in performance -no lag
[Sony Xperia M2] JVTPlaya:
I love this rom, tons of customizations and great battery life compared to stock one but there are 2 things that are annoying for me and I don't know how to fix them.

First is that my screen is sometimes freezing, navigation bar is missing . Only way is to turn off device and turn it on.

Second thing - sometimes when I try to open some apps (games mostly) there is only white or black screen ( depending on app) but after several tries everything is ok. Any solutions?
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Try clean flash
[Sony Xperia M2] JVTPlaya:
Already tried. Everything is still the same.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
1. After 2-3 days, the phone starts to slow down when starting applications or opening the menu. After reboot, applications run quickly.

This is on the RC2, and on previous versions. But on previous versions the effect is more pronounced. Obviously, there are still some resource leaks in the kernel. RAM cleaning does not help, there is no unnecessary background processes.

2. In RC2, the option to switch the performance (in the top panel) was lost.

3. After incomplete reboot (restart the interface) - the touchscreen is disabled. You have to turn off the phone with a long press of Power+VolUp

4. The forecast of the expense of the battery works strange. With a high consumption (in games), the current chart goes down, but the predicted curve sharply curves back and the estimated time is 20-30 hours (although it is obvious that the battery will be discharged after 1-2 hours).

5. Sometimes, when you try to take a picture, the camera closes without taking a picture. When you restart the camera, the images are normal. This problem is in RC2 and is on previous versions.

---------- Post added at 10:07 ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 ----------

At me it was in RC1, regular freezing.

in RC2 this problem was fixed.

D2403 rev5, microSD 64gb, apps moved to misroSD, opengapps-nano, magisk, format standard (I do not use F2FS)
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
If you havent updated bootloader, how did you install recovery to flash it?
[Sony Xperia M2] jolygolf:
I don't know. I had bootloop on custom firmware Android 5.1, because I did wipe system. Tried to install Z5 Style, was mistake number 7. number 6. No firmware on the basis of 5.1 is not compromised, and the computer has not identified the cell phone in mode fastboot for flashing flow. Only there was a way to put a 7.1 without updating the bootloader
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
revert back to 5.1(via flashtool), update bootloader, flash newest twrp and flash 7.1
[Sony Xperia M2] jolygolf:
I can't flash it through flashtool, the computer does not detect a phone or detects an error
[Sony Xperia M2] 3rr0r-3y3-(KuTtY):
check ur data cable 1st ......... what ever problem computer will detect ur phone

check it on ur device manager
[Sony Xperia M2] jolygolf:
In device Manager is written in The device descriptor request failed

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

I can try to flash it through recovery СМ13, but I'm afraid that it will not install
[Sony Xperia M2] cyriljohn01:
Try updating your phone drivers. You can easily find them online. Maybe that should help. It helped me when my phone wasn't getting detected.
[Sony Xperia M2] anayeem92:
If you not updated your bootloader then you can use twrp as default boot instead of boot.IMG

Use this command

Fastboot flash boot twrp

And wipe everything and install cm13 :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M2] martindroid:
Work fine! Thx?
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
So video recording for me started glitching again, and after trying out various variants of fixing, none helped, BUT. As in LOS15 Alpha thread OP mentioned, tried using footej camera for video recording and it worked. I don't really know why is the video recording glitching for me, but at least I have a workaround app now.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
Every few days a reboot occurs. In the morning, I found out that the phone was waiting for SIM-PIN input

Every time - it happens at night, when I do not use the phone.
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
And what can we do about it? How should we debug it?

I noticed you often report bugs we can't reproduce. My best advice for you is to return to stock, or whatever ROM worked fine for you.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
Can I do something to save logs on reboot?
[Sony Xperia M2] geghair:
Can i flash this on xperia m2 dual??
[Sony Xperia M2] geghair:
And it will detect both simcards and another thing does it have lags??
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Yes,it should detect both SIM cards.

About lags...it depends. I don't have any,some say they have...test and post your experience.
[Sony Xperia M2] Ben Wylde:
Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome contribution :)

I run this for about 1-2 weeks now and it almost works flawlessly for me, but there are things that are a bit annoying.

First of all, is there a way to prevent the wallpaper from resetting on every reboot? I have that on every tested launcher (the stock Pixel Launcher, Lawnchair, Nova) but it resets on every reboot.

The second issue might belong to the limited RAM, but some games (Fire Emblem Heroes in specific which needs Magisk to run, if anyone asks) seem to freeze the phone after a while (the music still runs), I can't pull the status/nav bar to close it, I always have to use the power button to initiate a reboot. I don't know if that's related to the ROM, the phone or the RAM, just wanted to share that little bit.

Oh and is there a way to rename the provider on the phone? It just looks weird to have the number code for those there, but it's not as important as it's only seen in the quick settings page ;)

Nonetheless, keep up the awesome work, it's quite a joy to run Nougat on a phone that doesn't even have official Marshmallow :)
[Sony Xperia M2] kunalkhatri2109:
howww ?????
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Stop spamming and read.
[Sony Xperia M2] sieghartRM:
Thanks Konstantinosj77 for this smooth and stable rom but there are some minor bugs such as when holding device upside down the ui turns 180° degrees in recent screen even though this setting is turned off in rotation settings.
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Hmmm something is wrong with performance (ram? internal storage? I don't know).

- rom sometimes is very laggy and freezing even if we are not using any app (for ex. 10 minutes ago it freezes when i wanted to unlock phone to check time)

- system UI (button bar and status bar, wallpaper etc) sometimes dissapear and the wallpaper is changing to preinstalled picture

- when i rotate the screen i get lag and freeze

- need to restart phone even 4-5 times every day

It's happening on clean and dirty installation these problems are still happen.

PS. Non-root.

PS2. I'll try to provide logcat.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
+1 !!!

Freezes start some time after the next reboot.

It is not clear what resources affect this.

The free RAM memory is 180-300mb. Approximately the same after the restart, and when the freezes occur. The reason is not in free RAM.

It is likely that there are problems in swap work, but how to observe it - I do not know. I tried to increase or decrease overcommit_ratio, swappiness, vfs_chche_pressure - but this did not affect the appearance of freezes.
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Oh, I forgot about sth. When it freeze for long time, phone is rebooting and then touchscreen don't work after. Only restart by this little pin can help in this situation.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
You don't need to press that pin to force reboot - just hold power + volume up for couple of seconds (~5) to force reboot - even if the smartphone has hanged itself
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
I then broken screen work in firmware 7.x.x

The screen flickers and is covered with strips. Android normally starts and works, but the screen with interference.

Reboots do not help. Even turning off the power does not help!

Enter to TWRP and exit - helps.

Obviously, in firmware 7.x.x. incomplete initialization of the display, and in TWRP - full initialization.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
You may have bad display, this happens in cold weather (i send my device to service due to broken screen about 1 year ago) for me. Try heat your device

Did you had this issue on 5.x ?
[Sony Xperia M2] joienguyen:
How do I change the battery performance (balance, power save, performance)

It seems that only power saving is activated

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
I compared the cat /proc/meminfo before and after friezes.

There is a regularity:

Friezes begin when SwapFree drops to 0 ... 10000kB. In the meantime, SwapFree is over 50000kB - there is no freeze.

What to do?

How to make a swap more efficiently cleaned?

Or how to turn it off?
[Sony Xperia M2] sieghartRM:
Is it safe to disable RR stats app?

And what is the purpose of this app?
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
I think it's app for sending logs,stats,raport in official build,yes you can safe delete or turn off, freeze this apk.
[Sony Xperia M2] sieghartRM:
Thanks leho6694 for giving information on what this app does and if it is safe to disable it.
[Sony Xperia M2] harbinfetaii:
I've read all comments about this ROM, and some of them are saying that they're facing lags, meanwhile some of them are having a great time with the ROM. Wonder what to do!?

I really want to try this ROM because of customization!
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
To turn off swap, command should be (run as root)

This only sticks until the reboot, but let us know if it fixes your issue after extended use.

To turn off swap permanently, this line should be removed https://github.com/kj77/device-sony-eagle/blob/android-7.1/rootdir/init.eagle.rc#L31 which we will do if you can confirm turning off swap fixes issue.
[Sony Xperia M2] harbinfetaii:
I just flashed the ROM, but I don't have root access. I went to Developer Options but it only shows "ADB only". What should I flash in order to gain root access on apps?
[Sony Xperia M2] sieghartRM:
You should flash magisk from the magisk xda forum https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445.
[Sony Xperia M2] harbinfetaii:
Thank you for your help! Do you know tweaks about RR, making it faster or things like that by any chance?
[Sony Xperia M2] sieghartRM:
If you mean editing kernel and stuff I am not to knowledgeable in this area so I cannot help.
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Flash Magisk OR SuperSU OR search for LineageOS Extras and get the addon-supersu (the rom is based on Lineage, so it will work) - that will add 2 remaining options in Dev Options Menu.
[Sony Xperia M2] harbinfetaii:
I didn't know that I could use LineageOS addons, I already rooted it with Magisk. How can I flash Xposed because Sony is having different methods and I don't want to do something wrong?!
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
I *think* you need Xposed module in Magisk (for API25) and then just flash xposed zip as usual?.. Sorry, not sure with that at the moment, using SuperSU (not addon) so can't really help you with that.
[Sony Xperia M2] martindroid:
How to install xposed for nougat:

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

∆

I

Just install xposed apk and flash this I using twrp 3.x recovery
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
I found this in google for a long time, but it does not work.

swapoff -a - writes that "unknown option a".

However, the problem with friezes probably not due to the swap. I increased the swap to 1000MB in Kernel Auditor, checked in /proc/meminfo that the swap really became 1000mb, but the friezes started as usual and in a day, as usual, it is almost impossible to use the phone. In the swap it was free more than 800mb.

I will try to flash again and find a simple sequence of actions for the appearance of friezes.

On 4pda because a lot of people complain about these friezes in a day of work. It is not clear why the developers do not have friezes.
[Sony Xperia M2] kr4k4t04_01:
hei guys,

It's sure that my throuble was speaking before, but I can't find It.

Finally!!

ITS ALIVE!!!

RC3 IS ALIVE!!
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
1st Q: Flash rom = lost data @ M2, yes? ;)

2nd Q: What's the difference between RC1, 2 and 3? For us, user.

3rd Q: EOL means End Of Life? ;) Why? ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
1st A: No. ;)

2nd A: If interested, read the previous changelogs. If not, just use RC3. ;)

3rd A: Yes, it means End Of Life. ;) Why? Because Oreo. ;)

Damn so much winking makes my eye hurt.
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
Seriously? If I update my RR RC1 to 3 my data stay?

Wow, ok so I check this.

If I found something special (stability, responsibility) in this rom I will stay on RC3.

Thanks for answer [emoji6] [emoji109] [emoji111]️
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Yeah the data stays, just be careful to wipe only cache and dalvik cache, NOT data/factory reset.
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzordzuxtt:
I wanted to click wipe cache but i clicked wipe data xD

But my phone work speeder and i don't have long twrp logo thanks :D

I noticed illumination bar while i charging my phone , i dont know if this was in rc2 because i installed rc3 from rc1
[Sony Xperia M2] Nitin69:
[MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION], Hats off to you & [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] for the wonderful ROMS. Waiting egarly for OREO.
[Sony Xperia M2] Pitrecha:
Illumination bar works on battery charging and notification
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Yes it was in RC1, on RC2 we accidentally broke it, on RC3 fixed again :D

Should work on notification too.
[Sony Xperia M2] Nitin69:
Yes [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] working with notifications also
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
Hopefully the Oreo RR version will come out soon because only this version is worth my attention :D :p ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Spoiler alert: We won't release RR-oreo...even if they make one...

*Insert infinite amount of emojis here*
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
RR Oreo will not be released? So what? LineageOS? I don't like LOS, RR version is much better, seriously ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Probably because it was already pretty hard to get LOS15 running, I presume...

Anyway, anyone care to share first impressions from RC3? Have any features bren removed or new added? (Maybe that battery-save-thingy from RC1 came back?)
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
For those requesting RR Oreo, or any other ROM fork actually:

It's not about difficulty at all, basically when you have one ROM working, you have them all.

It's about time & resources.

Building a ROM on a home computer is basically maxing it out, making it unusable for 4 hours. Take into account copying to SD, backing up and flashing and restoring every time when we need to test something. And a few hours of uploading when it's ready.

Also understand that from now on, neither me or Konstantinos are actively using M2 anymore, meaning what we do doesn't even have benefit for us - also means that projects here are gonna be somewhat less of a priority.

We do this primarily because it's fun and interesting. If you whine alot, that kills the fun and makes us less enthusiastic about futher development. Hope that makes sense.

TLDR:

Will we do Oreo, new kernels, and stuff? Yes, because it's fun.

Will we build and maintain 5 different ROMs to keep everyone happy? No.

[MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION] [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] RR RC3 looks good, work also good, but I have one question.

Can I normally use SuperSU for M2 to root my device?
[Sony Xperia M2] Billabomb75:
Yes you can or you can use Magisk. Which i would prefer.
[Sony Xperia M2] gairola.gg@gmail.com:
I was not perfect ? but something good rom, there are many lags in this rom, when I connected my phone with charger I would play Coc.. Etc games. I should be hang and work very slow so that has not properly compatabile... ok thx for ur developing.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
This rom is amazing. I don't know about others but it caters all my needs. I use my M2 like a home tablet. I've removed calling and messing apps from the system. Gapps are there. No xposed. Magisk modules are enough.

Xposed slows the rom. Period.

Thanks for all your work. I appreciate it.

And that blinking LED at the bottom, that's great to look at. BTW it blinks while charging; is that normal?
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
yes, illumination bar linked with notification led, so battery status and notifications should light them both

Why does the proximity sensor work constantly when the screen is off?

At the same time, obviously its readings are not used - I close the sensor with my finger, and I do not notice any difference in response to the screen presses (the screen does not react in any way) or the buttons.

D2403 Rev.5
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Seems like it's a problem with alt.sensors.

I've installed RR,LOS,Omni and i don't got this issue,but we have to be 100% sure.

We need more reports from that to be sure...also we need some logs (especially dmesg and logcat)

Did this appeared in RC3 or it was there before?

Obviously we can't reproduce this bug cause we have devices with normal sensors.
