[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
Yes.

Now I have a high-speed microSD 64GB. And it works fine (In the old firmware (beta) - it constantly became ReadOnly in the case of adopted storage)…

I had different microSD - 32gb, 64gb of another model - and lags were everywhere.

The proximity sensor began to flash constantly, in RC3 (I often use it in the dark, and it's immediately noticeable)

But the lags were the same in the previous firmware

a few days ago I formatted everything, re-flashing, RR-N-v5.8.5-20171112-eagle-Unofficial.zip, open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20171119.zip, Magisk-v14.0.zip, and I started to install programs again…

82 Apps installed - no lags...

inserted microSD 64gb. Format internal storage. Move data now.

all applications that allow movement - moved to a memory card (in the properties of each application - Storage - Change)

In some programs lags appeared, I checked cat /proc/meminfo - showed that SwapFree is 13064. Then SwapFree itself increased to ~100000 and the lags disappeared.

Then I copied to the phone a lot of files (about 10GB) that I usually have on my phone.

Then a few hours later I read the news in Chrome via LTE (because, usually I encounter lags on the street, without access to WiFi).

And soon began strong lags in Chrome. I even could not finish it for a long time - the interface reacted very slowly.

Then I finished it all the same. And, lags are now observed the same as before - when you run Yandex.Maps, when launching facebook, etc.

SwapFree - 29580kB.

removed all files /system/vendor/lib/hw/sensors*.so, reboot.

several hours passed, earlier by this time there were already stable lags, but without sensors there are no lags yet.

big programs (yandex.maps, etc) are now launched noticeably faster!!!

Previously (with sensors), even after the system was restarted, the program started in 15-20 seconds, and without sensors it starts in 9 seconds (I have video for comparison).

SwapFree 23472, but no lags, everything works very well and quickly. Obviously, sensors*.so are a possible cause of lags (but probably this is not the only reason)...

I can assume that the following conditions are necessary for the appearance of lags:

- About 100 applications, many of whom are using Internet background (VK, MailDroid, WhatshApp, Telegram, Periscope, Facebook, Instagram, Skype, AliExpress (and some local online shopping apps - citilink, ulmart, etc), weather, maps, mobile operators widgets for displaying account balance, etc.)

- memory card in the internal storage mode, most applications are moved to a memory card.

- more than 8GB of user files (documents, video, mp3) in the phone (on microSD in internal storage mode)

- alternative sensors. But it should be noted that there are several sensors: for old models, for new D2303, for new D2403. Not only on the new D2403 there are complaints about lags. So there are complaints from the owners of the D2303, and even on the D2302 (which has exactly standard sensors, it started using the freack_v firmware and everything is fine there).

I have M2 Aqua D2403 Rev.5 (alt.sensors Memsic)
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Nice! Keep it running for a few more days and let us know if it stays fast or goes back to black.
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
for me proximity sensor is blinking only on the lock screen, not with screen off (original sensors). but lags are still occuring, so they are not related to alternative sensors only.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
Slow microSD?

I noticed a slowdown of the interface after formatting the microSD in internal storage mode and moved apps to microSD.

Maybe at a slow microSD, it becomes more noticeable.

Will there be lags if you move everything into the phone's memory and remove the microSD?
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Expected behaviour, this is to prevent turning on in pocket.

And yeah, "lag" and "hard lock freeze" (showed by f2065) are probably separate things.

About just lag we cant do much, but hard freeze is a problem for sure.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
i had hard freeze many times when i was using omni but my phone was restarting itself. no lags by the way (old sensor, clean flash). i am using 8.0 but there is neither no lags, nor hard freeze.
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
it crossed my mind too, but i am not using adoptive storage and don't have any apps on the microsd, basicly just some music, nothing else.

sorry, with "lag" i meant hard freeze, when the phone is not reacting for anything. i had my phone lying on the desk with display on for 5 minutes, not reacting to power button
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
Several days passed without sensors.

Lags after 1 day of use is, but less often and weaker than before.

And with the launch of large programs, there are no lags now.

But when working in some cases everything starts to slow down strongly.

For example, if you run Yandex.Maps in the center of Moscow, and include a layer of traffic, and enable panoramas.

When you exit the panoramas, strong braking starts.

See video - https://youtu.be/ciyo9x_UnY0

When you exit the application - it's very slow, and then the desktop reloads.

But if you restart the phone - then in the first few hours all the same actions happen instantly and without slowing down.

Obviously, the kernel has some problems with freeing up unnecessary memory

The same problem with slowdowns (after a day of use) is in Chrome if you open many pages. And after rebooting - you can open more pages, but it works very quickly.

And maybe the sensor files are not guilty of long-term friezes that were with sensors?

Can sensor files take up memory and aggravate memory leaks to a critical level

What else can I do to fix the problem with the sensors?
[Sony Xperia M2] harbinfetaii:
Hi there,

I'm using RR(RC3) with 25 apps installed and while I was using Instagram it freezed. I was constantly pressing power button to turn the screen off but it wouldn't go for about 30 seconds.

I checked the RAM, and it had only 15MB free.

Meanwhile while I've used SlimLP, I had at least 200MB free.

Changing to LOS 14.1 or Omni would it freeze again or?

Thank you!
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
D2403 rev5 - I was so every day, after removing the sensors files - this freeze did not become.

At you which model M2 ?
[Sony Xperia M2] harbinfetaii:
I have D2303, to be honest I don't go to deep with files so I don't know how to remove or what would cause if I remove them..

Also, could we talk on private?

[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
HI, for led control i use light flow apk, its work in 99%. The problem is when the screen is off (locked) the led bar starts blinking irregularly (despite setting always on in apk and phone settings), the problem is only when screen is off. The same thing happens in Light manager apk. Notification led(small on top phone) work good. Any solution for led bar not blinking(always on) on locked phone?

[Sony Xperia M2] ggravier:
It means End Of Life. They've stopped working on it.
[Sony Xperia M2] Billabomb75:
End of life. No more develop for rom
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
No one have this issue? Any solution? :confused:
[Sony Xperia M2] ccxex29:
Hi, when i charge (then restart/shutdown/do nothing when the phone is not active) it will put it into offline charging. Then, I can't turn on my device from the offline charging since it becomes stuck/hang. Will have to wait until the phone restarts itself and gets into the same problem.

Does everyone also experience this problem?
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Yes, this is known, can't really debug/fix it.
[Sony Xperia M2] ccxex29:
no workaround?

what about proximity sensor being always on when the phone asleep?
[Sony Xperia M2] gerciolisz:
Try restarting by pushing all 4 buttons at the same time for few seconds
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
4 buttons? i think vol up+power is enough
[Sony Xperia M2] gerciolisz:
Maybe XD i thought 4 buttons was best solution not to search which buttons really do it XD BTW there is one more button in m2 aqua(dunno about regular m2) near simcard socket and didnt try this but probably its reset.
[Sony Xperia M2] ARandomIndian:
Thats a physical power switch attached to the motherboard, not a reset button It's a kill switch (Cuts power from battery)
[Sony Xperia M2] ccxex29:
still, why is the proximity always blinking while the device is sleeping?
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
What model and revision of M2?

How many programs are installed?

What memory card?

Memory card in Adopted Storage or Portable mode?

At me it is similar, the proximity sensor is constantly working.

And after 2-3 days - everything begins to slow down, the phone has to reboot every day.
[Sony Xperia M2] Billabomb75:
Try reinstalling ROM or install Lineage
[Sony Xperia M2] ccxex29:
Xperia M2 3G D2305.

No memory card installed.

User apps : 10

It will blink in sleep or lockscreen state

[Sony Xperia M2] kimoVoid:
Anyone can confirm what rom of Nougat is better for the M2? Omni, Resurrection or Lineage?
[Sony Xperia M2] Billabomb75:
My personal fav is OMNI its just so much better.
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Depends on your needs.

If you want a clean system, go for Lineage.

If you want the speed, go for Omni (Single SIM phones only, though).

If you want extended/advanced functionality, go for Resurrection.
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
lineage 14.1 RC2

Best rom for sony m2 dual thx
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
And THAT is what I call custom ROM... so much things to modify :D

BTW: Can't find root in Developer options in settings despite it shows it when I search for it in settings...

EDIT: Enabled root by flashing LinageOS su zip but still no options visible in settings [emoji14]
[Sony Xperia M2] karlmorgan92:
You don't need to flash anything, the ROM is prerooted, the su binary that this ROM uses is the one provided by magisk.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Maybe it is pre-rooted but none of the apps could find it... not even magisk manager app

Sent from my Xperia M2
[Sony Xperia M2] karlmorgan92:
Try to make a dirty flash, that happened to me the first time I flashed the ROM and after a dirty flash everything worked fine. Maybe that could work for you.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Yeah, that actually worked, thanks :D

Now I need to find out how to pass that safetynet sh** and then I'll be the happiest man in the world XD

You're welcome.

If you find something tell me because I've been looking for the same but I've found nothing XD

[Sony Xperia M2] walkman-610:
There are problems with root, when loading the phone some applications, such as settings, the system or devtools require the provision of root access
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
What about original music player though?
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
actually codec is not related to the music players because it is in android firmware. did you try other flac musics? on my side i have no problem about that
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Huh, interesting. It seems I can't play the same songs I could play on CM13 without any problems. Maybe it's because of PexoMod... Still, good info, thanks.

[MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION]

Holy cow! Great ROM! I am using it couple of hours and performance is terrific. I am only scared about battery but tommorow i'll do some tests and check if its better than on stock 6.1 or worse. No bugs found for now :) Sensors working, calls working and... This ROM fixed my LTE :D On stock or other stock-based custom roms, my LTE just won't work. On Ressurection it works charming :3

PS. What battery tweaks do you recommend? Probably i will not use it if battery life on RR will be as good as on stock, but just in case... xD

PS2. No... No... Its not terrific rom. Its wonderfully terrific! :o Holy cow, how many customizations are there! Size of the text, and size of the screen <3 How good is that i cant even imagine :D If battery will be in acceptable level, then this ROM will jump on the top of my list :3

A.w.e.s.o.m.e :)

EDIT: Bug founded!

After fast reboot from menu touchscreen doesn't work and proximity sensor blinks really fast.
[Sony Xperia M2] karlmorgan92:
Sensor thing is not a bug, and the thing about the screen is a known bug, it is actually written in the op, but not always happens.
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
so, [MENTION=4803060]Hrustus[/MENTION], how did the battery part turn out? as well as the general smoothness of the system? i'd love to have the cutomizations of this rom, but I am afraid the old M2 is already loosing it's breath on this,

Does anyone know any performance tweaks that can be used with this rom?
[Sony Xperia M2] karlmorgan92:
I've noticed that with mobile data on the phone gets really really hot, and due that the battery drains quite fast. I don't know if this is either a normal behavior related with mobile reception or something like that, or a bug. Has somebody experienced the same?

No..my phone with this ROM is really good.

I think this ROM is the best than LOS14/OmniROM

[Sony Xperia M2] prismaanandito:
First of all, I want to say thank you very much for the great ROM! It's indeed much faster and better than other popular ROM. I just want to ask some minor question here:

1. In quick settings tile, if I drag something from the bottom (ex: todoist quick add) it will stuck on another tile. (Can't make it to the top of the phone to add the tiles)

2. Anyone know how to enable the all-black-notification screen just to peek when my screen is of like in LOS 14.1? (I don't know what its called :laugh: )

3. Substratum is so buggy in d2305 (?) after trying to installing 3 themes

4. Double tap/long press on menu/home button to split screen and other command didn't work

5. The "uninstall system app" in configuration didn't work for OmniSwitch, haven't tried for another app.

I don't know if it's just me or I just didn't know how to do it. Again thanks for your help!

2. Anyone know how to enable the all-black-notification screen just to peek when my screen is of like in LOS 14.1? (I don't know what its called :laugh: )

Do you mean The Ambient Display Feature? :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
1. It's Android N problem - it's happening on all ROMs - you have to change rows for max setting and then try to drag last toggles

2. That's ambient display - it's in configuration > interface

3. Didn't happen to me - may I know which theme have you tried to set? Remember you need the ones for Android 7.1+/CM14.1

4. Yeah, buttons don't work for that - just hold the app while in recents and drag it to the top [emoji14]

5. Didn't try that. Guess OmniSwitch is not uninstallable - it must be installed as it has its options in settings [emoji14]

Yes. I found it on interface setting now. Thank you :D

1. I can't believe that it actually works! Thank you :laugh:

2. Yes, I just found out the name too, lol

3. Swift dark, Belo, and I forgot the other one. I remember that some of them have the dropdown to choose the version of the phone, and I already choose 7.1 OMS. Still got a messed up layout. Perhaps I need to turn off all the battery optimization thing?

4. Oh I see :good: sometimes it come in handy while multitasking and watching youtube

5. Yes that's right, I've uninstalled it using link2sd and settings become not responding

Thank you for help! :highfive:

so can i flash this rom with this twrp v2.8.10?:confused:

Please follow the installation guide. Not following or changing one of the instructions could lead into some error. If you can download only the rom. Please try it for yourself and post the result to help other.

[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
Installed, no root options in dev options, which sueprsu to flash, any link something ?
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Install magisk manager... It's pre-rooted with that. If after installing app there is still no root - dirty flash rom again [emoji14]
[Sony Xperia M2] pi4a7a:
App says NO ROOT, what to do ?!?!?
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
For root, open magisk manager-->Settings-->Superuser access-->Apps only or Apps and ADB

For busybox, in magisk manager settings enable busybox

Magisk manager is pre-installed and no need to flash anything to get root

The best way to get the latest stock rom is via ftf available in the forum and flash it with flashtool.

Step I take to install RR-N are

- flash latest ftf

- update your bootloader via ftf with this guide here

Note: if your flashtool not showing the ftf, extract it to a folder with with archive manager of your choice, open flashtool-->Tools-->Bundles-->Create

+In source folder choose the folder that contain the extracted ftf (not the boot folder!)

+Device are your device model (D2303,D2305,D2302,etc) <-- this one make the ftf shown in the list

+Fill branding and version with anything but easy to recognize that this is bootloader update

+Move all folder list to firmware content with "->" button

+ Press the create button

++ Alternatively you can edit the manifest.mf in the ftf by opening the ftf with winrar (without extracting it), goto Meta-inf and double click manifest.mf and edit with notepad this line "device:D2xxx" to your device model, save it, winrar will ask you if you want to update it and click yes, close winrar and done.

- flash TWRP 3.1.0 (Link in the first post)

-open twrp

- full wipe (system,data,dalvik,cache)

- flash Resurrection Remix

- flash gapps

- reboot
