[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BobTheTenth:
Hello, I'll jump right in;

I'm wondering if it's possible to go from rooted 6.0.1 to rooted Nougat 7.0.0 (superman rom or something) without having to go back to the stock firmware in between.

So to be perfectly clear:

I have 6.0.1 SM-G935P ROOTED

And I'm trying to get to:

7.0 (nougat) SM-G935P ROOTED

And I want to know if you can skip updating to OFW 7.0 and skip straight to CFW 7.0

(old PSP terminology: OFW official firmware/CFW custom firmware)

Phone info:

Baseband G935PVPu2APE1

Build MMB29M

Model SM-G935P

Android V 6.0.1

EDIT:

Is 7.0.0 only for unlocked phones? If so, is it possible to unlock my version/model and will I still be able to use my Sprint network with an unlocked phone? Thanks guys!

Edit #2:

Also, is there a list of custom roms for specific devices anywhere? Or would any custom rom made for S7 Edge work on any S7 Edge? I'm trying to get substratum working and it says I need a rom that's compatible with OMS and Masquerade.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] santonii:
Hi all,

Im really new here and i did my best to find out what i need to do but i just cant figure out the best way to do this

I want to root my ZU for 1 purpuse only i want to use the appradiounchained app

but that is requiring a rooted device im not planning to use "MOD's" (not until i know what they are and how to use them)

what is the best thread for me to follow ?

I just got the phone back to factory settings

model number: C6833

Android version: 5.1.1

little bit help would be much appreciated
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
You're in the same boat as me. I just bought my 6th ultra and it came with 5.1.1

Anyways to root it.

Goto kingroot.net download it. Install it on your pc. It's in Chinese but for the most part you should know what it is. Hook up your phone via USB once it detects the phone click root. Takes like 5 mind don't unhook it til it's done.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] santonii:
Thank You

I was planning on doing that Just wanted to know for sure Just got my screen fixed dont want to kill my Phone haha
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
There is an alpha rootless version of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MartyM76:
Were you actually able to get the Kingroot PC program to work? It completes "rooting" and reports success, but RootChecker app reports no root! So it's not working, I think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I just downgraded to android 5.1.1 installed recovery, unlocked my bootloader. Now I'm back on custom roms and supersu
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MartyM76:
Actually after posting that I found another thread and tried the Kingroot app, which surprisingly worked (unlike in the past) to root stock 5.1.1., locked bootloader and I then installed recovery & SuperSU! So I'm good, thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pannam:
download king root 4.5 basically this version as it allows super sume to work. Once you root it , download super sume 6.5 from blackmart not the pro one just the normal one. It will remove kingroot and install supersu.

prerequisite: bootloader unlocked ofcourse!
[Galaxy Note5 General] bogarty:
This is just a heads up to Note 5 developers that may not already be aware. The Android O(reo?) Developer Preview is now available for download! It's only for Nexus and Pixel devices of course, but just in case any devs wanted to get started early on dismantling it and porting it to the Note 5, I thought I'd just drop the link here. Here ya go! :)

https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
[Galaxy Note5 General] Turbine1991:
Wouldn't that be something - We've had a hard enough time getting a LOS 7.1.1 or even a custom kernel for thr stock 7.0 Samsung roms.

how to unlock the bootloader? I keep searching the guides on xda but I can't find any, I know I unlocked it at some point months ago but I reflashed the exitenz marshmallow over it.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Maybe your device is already unlocked, if you didn't restore the TA backup is still unlocked.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kzee125:
Working perfectly!!

Thank you so much brother!!!!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DiogoSilva48:

Thanks for your work but i have one problem my laptop is dead ..Is there any chance to flash your work without PC? Thank you
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Little Snevil:
You're not alone. I have exactly the same problems. Permissions enable, phone app as default. I've used stock gapps, maybe it's due by that(? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] em1nos:
I'm having the same problem. The other person doesn't hear me in calls. Permissions seems to be fine. And Phone is the default phone app
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Little Snevil:
Yeah. And I made a clean install. Wiped everything. Everything else seems to be flawless. I don't wanna reflash the rom after all the apps and settings i made. :(
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kzee125:
How did you get google now tab working?

Not working on mt phone
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Your charging current seems to be quite unstable though, have you tried another charger with a larger output current?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kzee125:
No!

Will soon check and report
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mfauzirahman:
Which gapps platform i need to download?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Jeretnik:
Same here,done everything right and double checked. And everything worked fine up to some point when it suddenly stopped.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] idelnon:
I have call problems too, any fix ?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] jacobz6:
Unroot possible?

Would need to unroot this ROM to access corporate email. Is that possible?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
You cannot pass SafetyNet when rooted.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] hamzxoxo:
No call problems with me, received 2 calls and made 3 since the time i flashed the rom and the voice was all clear and audible. D6502
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Dilesh Perera:
it caused by okay Google. delete Ok google voice
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] airrock001:
Do your compass work？my z2(l50u,Chinese version) does not work, maybe this problem is just the Chinese version of z2(l50t or l50u).:confused:
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] xRevengerZee:
tested this rom for 24hours all i can say its flawless. but battery is not as good as MM as i think also i expect to be lot better in future only reason im switching back to exz MM for now is that xposed wont work so far also no camera mods or sound so im sure in future this will be my daily driver for sure nice job bro!!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] akshay2shah:
Try this

1. Remove this line from build.prop

persist.audio.dualmic.config=endfire

2.And add these​ lines in build.prop

persist.audio.handset.mic=analog

use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip=true

ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1

Reboot device after that.

Hi there!! [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] Sorry but I keep getting this error message!! Any help would be appreciated!! Many thanks in advance!! Would it help if I installed your recovery first? Or should I roll back to stock first?

How can I change it in TWRP?

Go to Mount and remove the marker Mount system read only
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] GitaraSiema:
Try kernel adiutor and ondemand governor. You will notice that ROM is smoother and it has microlags without it. It wasn't on previous versions of ROM
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Lack of Vulkan is the main cause of this glitch, blame Qualcomm.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] okij:
As far as I know, the BT calling fix is announced to be in the next build, so it's not included in the May 23th build.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Muff(in):
According to him I thought we were supposed to flash .291 after flashing .570. Am I wrong?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Shady_BlackSn0w:
EMMA restores to .570

So it's recommended to update to the latest version but it doesn't matter since you gonna install another OS anyway but still recommended. AFAIK

Regards.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] LILOGLP:
Changelof of the latest build?

Hi, has anyone the changelog of the latest build and does Google Assistant work with no micro issues when calling?

Thank you!

GPS problems

Actually I've got trouble using GPS. I tried Traccar and Google Maps.

Logcat says the following:

05-30 13:44:53.555 1655 3099 W GnssLocationProvider: Invalid size of GpsSvStatus found: 0.

I am using the "Device only" option in the location settings.

Any hints?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mfauzirahman:
GPS is working fine...

Carbon Builds

Carbon goes official now

You can find new builds for carbon on their Website

It is based on lineage trees and has a fully working cam and

All has the same state as the lineage build
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] filjusz:
Can we flash it over LineageOS?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
No clean install is required

If you update carbon you can dirty flash
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] filjusz:
Clearly response that I want. Thank You Rcstar ;)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Man_22:
Great! But what do you mean for "fully working camera"? Is the original one?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Camera quality is much better than those on 3.10 because the use of stock camera libs, stock camera cannot be ported however.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Muff(in):
Does Carbon provide OTA updates?

Are there any benefits?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Yes, carbon does provide OTA.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Chatty:
Is it also based on Android 7.1.2? [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION]: Did you mean "No, a clean install is required" or "There is no clean install required, CR can be dirty flashed over LOS"?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] cikoxda:
just forgot a comma "No, clean install is required" so if you want flash CR now, you must wipe everything -> fresh install

Is the plan to go official still holds? If you don't mind me asking any reason why its talking so long?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kcajjones:
I'm running the latest build and have noticed sometimes the WiFi to data handover doesn't work and data doesn't work at all. I've cleared caches and will monitor it.

I tried Bluetooth calling in my car and it doesn't work either. No audio from my end and random distortion on the other end. This is the only deal breaker for me. I hope that BT gets fixed as it's so handy to talk whilst driving as I'm always on the road with work.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
For the data handover, please refer to post #335.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] MWPau:
So, exactly what is the difference/advantage of carbon vs lineage then?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Carbon has more customizable options. But u can also download Resurrection Remix Rom which is base on this latest lineage build and has many more customizable feature than carbon.

What about battery life, charging time? Can anyone post SOT screenshoot please?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
I posted quite a couple sets of screenshots here and on the Battery thread quite some times ago. You might want to check that out.

Generally 4-6hrs SoT.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kcajjones:
If true, I'd love to get my hands on that! The only major thing wrong with this ROM is the BT voice calling for me.

There's minor issues with the screen brightness tuning, but nothing I couldn't live with.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Bamboocha_csc:
Will be there some new build in near future? Am just curious, if should wait, because i would like to do clean install..

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] jaltek:
Stop asking vor ETA and spamming this thread. If you could maintain a better ROM and have more spare time, do it.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] :
So, this is gonna be official Lineage OS then? That's great. :) The Lineage weeklies are working fantastic on my Moto G. I'm mostly in for stability, so, the chance that this goes official on the Z2 too is really nice.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
For those who keep asking for ETA on the next update of the ROM / Urging the OFFICIAL status to come, things will gradually done. Currently we are just fixing and final examining some bug fixes and hopefully after all these processes a great advancement can be made.

So, please stop asking for these!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] :
Dunno why devs are always so allergic about these kind of questions. I don't urge at all. Chill dude.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Saadkhalid786:
Greetings Everyone :)

i have a problem. although its not regarding this ROM but i wanted to ask here. new build is working so good, OTG is working great, missing 4k but awesome camera, quite smooth and amazing looks with substratum.

My problem is that as you all know android nougat restricts SD access and apps can only access them if there is that "document provider" implemented in the app just like TB, File commander , share-it, etc. i have installed Sony's album and it is the best Gallery app for me. but the problem is that it doesn't have the document provider option and i need it to move images to folders in memory card using album app but from phone to phone is fine but from phone to memory doesn't work, it says " 0 files moved". i have tried editing packages.xml and platform.xml and adding write external sd and write external media etc. added them correctly but none of them worked. is there any way to give sd access to album app without the need of document provider? this is very important for me cause i have to travel a lot and i use this phone as my daily driver and need to organize pictures accordingly and hey! dont ask me to use another gallery app please :P .

Please help. i will be very Great full. :)

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] SolohunteR:
Reboot to recovery and connect your phone to pc or from file manager remove the .android_secure folder
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DawoodSahi:
What exactly will that do? Or do you mean to delete that folder first and then flash the extsdcardfix?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] SolohunteR:
It would not affect any data this was needed by previous api versions afaik try removing this folder first before flashing anything it worked fine for me
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] MWPau:
No matter how nicely you ask, you are still putting pressure on the devs to get it done.

Have you ever volunteered or done anything for anyone as a favor, and had that person continuously bugging you to do more or do it quicker?

Its like that. Its not nice.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] :
But that is exactly what i didn't do. :) I think the devs just react allergic, because they're always thinking people would bug them to do something, by default. I work a lot for (almost) free in my spare time, BTW. There's really no need for a Samaritan complex here. If the devs wouldn't want to do what they do, they wouldn't do it. Simple.

Anyway, 'nuff of that. Back to topic.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Saadkhalid786:
i dont see any .android_secure folder neither in internal nor in SD. can see other folders starting with a dot "."
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Saadkhalid786:
Here i recorded my gameplay on Z2 with this rom. its quite smooth but there is occasional stutter while recording that is caused by cores turning off and on by themselves. everything else excellent.

PS: i use lowest graphics and shortly i will upload my gameplay on high graphics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDKrJC6qlSU
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Lack of Vulkan support is the main cause.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] SolohunteR:
Did you check while you are in recovery? this folder would not be visible if you boot into rom
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Saadkhalid786:
went to file manager from recovery but this folder is not there. checked internal and external both, idk where it could be
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] SolohunteR:
It has nothing to do with internal storage it should be on the external try to navigate to the external sdcard from the terminal emulator and ls -al to check
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Saadkhalid786:
on lollipop stock rom same stutter is present if i turn on the option in thermal settings but when i turn it of and keep all the cores on then i dont see this lag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04AtGdsznvI

this video was recorded on lollipop with nougat themed ui and elements. all cores were turned on.

i noticed this stutter disappear if cores stay on. anyway thank you for your time to answer my useless post :)

Mega Update on way. (Dont ask ETA)

Just tested a beta build.

1. 4k@30fps ok.. 1080p@60fps ok.. 720p@120fps ok...

2. Bluetooth Calls fixed. (Tested on Sony SBH 20 , Samsung HM-1350 & Cars Bluetooth Hundai Grand i10)

I cant say about other BT headsets. I dont have them to test.

3. OK Google fixed.. (calls dont get mute)

4. OTG fully fixed (read & write) no idea if it was fixed in earlier builds.

5. Night reboot partially fixed..(who the heck cares if phone reboots at night ? Atleast i dont care ?)

So i can say BT voice ,Ok Google, OTG are fixed.
