review after one month: average, not enough options!

1. Wifi signal KEEPS DROPPING every 15 minutes, when it does, mobile network is unreachable, only fix is to restart the device! (yes, did a clean install), makes it VERY irritating experience!

2. SOT is just under 5 hours, when the battery was topped to 100% over night. When options from battery optimizations are activated (to speed up the system), SOT drops to 3 hours, without any performance gains.

3. NO PHONE KEYBOARD LAYOUT! Just, why??

4. No cost saving options in messages app. (which converts the fonts to regular - ü->u, ö->o, ć->c, č->c)

5. Auto correct and typing is a HELL of an experience, if not used in english, stock sony android was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better in keyboard section.

gains:

1. smoother ui experience, fancy animations, customizable software, loads of options (except mentioned above)

2. 7.1 android, along with all the new tweaks, which makes the phone usable again.

This post is just a suggestion to those who are interested in maintaining or upgrading it to a newer versions, as well as a quick review for people who are interested in switching to it from stock os. It is not meant as an offense of somebodies work, rather a friendly advice and a comment.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
1. Idk why but I never had a problem with wifi. Wifi signals worked like charm for me.

As you were saying that the mobile network is unreachable, what I do is that i go to mobile networks settings and search for mobile network manually. That gets it fixed.

2. I get around 6 hrs SOT on avg. With lots of tweaks made. As soon as xposed will be nougat I'll able to make it 7. Though you can see some methods from my thread.

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/existenz-hacks-tweaks-battery-life-t3516705/post70024252

Even though 5 hours SOT is good, depending upon how old our device is.

3. & 4. Can't say anything coz i don't use these features much.

5. My autocorrect experience have always been good. I'm using Hinglish (Hindi + English) language. The words are even suggested in hindi and I've an awesome typing experience.

// I wasn't telling you were wrong. But, I had very less of these problems. It was my honest review lets say :) :)

I've found a bug just yesterday. After I define a lock code, I can't change or enter in smart lock because the settings app just crash.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Yes, it is a known bug with the latest build.

It has already been reported.

Wait until it gets fixed in the next build or. Someone finds a workaround.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] nailyk:
Patch is currently being tested. Some service class missmatch.

You can download xperia keyboard apk which is ported for all devices, that's what I'm using rn.

Just google it and you'll see a xda thread.

best rom i ever used.

Greetings everyone! i joined XDA today just to make a comment on this amazing rom.

i just installed this rom and its superb for my daily use. however, i dont understand some stuff. not sure if it was intended or a bug. there is no 4k on camera. core control is not possible, tried with all thermal options off but still cant control cores, they just turn or and off by themselves. i need core control because i set cpu profiles for gaming and daily use and lots of other stuff. wifi is slow for me, dont know why. and lastly, when connected to BT headset, BT disconnects randomly.

apart from these everything is good and i really really appreciate the hard work the developers put through to make this rom. i salute them.

please address me clearly for these problems. i dont wanna go back to any other rom because this is the best one for me.

thank you.

ROM feedback

This is my feedback for the first day with this ROM.

I can say that I am impressed as the results are great and this is still the first release ;) Well done folks!

I installed from the device using rashr following OP. Used opengapps micro. Camera is great. Charging time was similar to CM 12.1, which is fine. Calls were fine using both speakers. Paired both bluetooth headsets without trouble.

I have encoutered only one problem: calls with both bt headsets were broken, with lots of noise and feedback.

Great work!

Okay Installed the rom and everything is working great af.

But these problems have occured for me. first issue is all the voice is now coming through the earpiece speaker. Even rebooting didnt fix it.

Then Bluetooth bug hope that get fixed., its tolerable now cause can connect okay at times even tho sound gets crackling sometimes.

So just is there anyway I can get the speakers sound output fixed?

D6503

All other features seems to work for me.

thanks again.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Try installing (flashing) a sound mod and lets see if it overrides the issue, although no problem on my side and no previous report of your problem has been recorded.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] teewhydope:
Install dolby atmos sound mod
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Bamboocha_csc:
great rom, but because of reboot problems during charging (occurred on last two builds) i will try resurrection remix for now.. i hope, that this bug will be fixed. am excited about this rom
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] madbehaviorus:

My camera isn't functioning properly. Came clean twice, it isn't focusing nor is taking pictures.

If you tap on it, it keeps tapped like if the flash is on and I tap on the screen, the flash stays on and you simply can't take pictures too. Please help me out over here.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mimo.aridi:
I had this prob. Just wiped system and cache. Reflashed rom and it worked.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DawoodSahi:
I tried but no success. Did you flash gapps too after reflashing the rom?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Yeah sure.

Did u try to wipe data too and install fresh?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DawoodSahi:
I wiped data once before too as I had problem with root and it's just too much work to reinstall all the apps and settle up the phone according to my need and use. I've exams going on and I really can't spend so much time on it rn.

Anyway, I'll retry wiping data and cache and reflash rom and gapps, let's see if it works.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mimo.aridi:
Use titanium backup mate. It sure saves a lot of time

need some help here

I thank all of the developers for this awesome rom, i really appreciate their hard work.

fully awesome rom i love it but only a few things arent working for me. the BT headset when connected, randomly disconnects. i dont know why there is no 4K option in camera. and the most important thing for me is that i cant manually control cores. i make different CPU profiles according to my usage but the cores keeps turning on and off all by themselves. even with all thermal options off. i dont wanna go back to any other rom because this rom is what i always wanted. please enlighten me, what should i do?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Fortunately camera problem got solved. I wiped system and cache once again and repeated the process.

Thanks for the help.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mimo.aridi:
For some mega doesn't work. And it needs the mega app to download if on mobile. And mega app is unstable trust me. Sometimes the download gets stuck and i cant pause or resume the download if wifi went down so sometimes i have to download the rom like 2-3 times. I live in a country the has a max download speed of 0.2 megabytes/s and that sucks.

So i kindly ask on behalf of myself and others if u can upload the rom on different websites that support a download manager that can pause resume downloads. Like mediafire or androidfilehost. Thank you.

What part of the permanent fix solution for the losing data when out of wifi range is key to fixing it, I thought I had tried the permanent fix but am still having loss of data. The only difference I can remember is that in EMMA I only had .570 instead of .575 or something like that, could that have affected it?

Use flashtool to flash again after flashing in EMMA.

Nfs no limits requires Vulcan, so you can't play on this rom.

You have to buy another phone to play NFS: no limit as our Z2 does not support VulcanAPI

I'm trying to apply the permanent fix for the 4G/LTE disconnect issue. When I open Emma, I see the option to flash 3 services: 23.5.A.0.570, 23.4.A.1.200, and 23.1.A.1.28. Neither of these seem to be the .575 firmware that is mentioned in the instructions. I am currently using the .291 firmware version. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

In some area there is 575 firmware such as Singapore.

I'm curious, how do you flash this from after 6.0.1? Usually I just go to 4.4.2 or something kitkat and then root it there, how do you root it on 6.0.1? or a better question is, how do you go from 6.0.1 stock to this rom?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] raminta:
There is no need to root your device if you have unlocked bootloader

You can just flash the provided kernel and recovery and flash the rom(clean installation)
