[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberwytch:
LineageOS is definitely better right now for most things than the official 7.1.1. I actually just switched from LineageOS 7.1.1 to stock 7.1.1, hated it, and actually downgraded to stock 6.0.1 with Xposed. I feel like that gives me the most control, but I might switch back to LineageOS depending on if they start doing nightlies or anything interesting like that.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superrman:
camera not as good without stock roms (unless install&backup DRM\FIX ) which not so easy

BUT you can roll back with fashtool without unlock btloader (im staying witch stock 7.0) untill sony fix(if they'll fix), or warranty is over.. which will comes 1st
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeansenVaars:
I'd love to try it, but unlocking bootloader plus installing a new one (clockwork or the other one), plus the mix up between my non-standard edition E8305 and most current release not being any guides up-to date. Its daunting for a newcomer like me.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky.walker:
I saw on Sony's website forums that a factory reset helped with battery and memory usage. I am going to try that when I have a few days off as the lag is annoying me. But I also have audio stutters when listening to music and audio books now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trax7:
Clean install is your best bet in fixing most issues :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeansenVaars:
Factory reset helped at first but after a week of using it it became slow again
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberwytch:
No matter what I did, full wipe in FlashTool included, 7.1.1 never had any free ram and I could only background one, maybe two apps. Everything was slower than I've ever seen in a stock rom in any device I've owned!

Currently I've reverted to 6.0.1 and it provides a pleasing combination of speed, battery life, and tweakability with xposed.

Yesterday I took a gander at patching the one xposed feature I actually need into 7.0, but I gave up after a few hours. Maybe I'll try another weekend sometime, but writing/debugging smali is painful! I think I'll just stay on 6 for now and hope xposed makes it to 7 someday!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeansenVaars:
Any chance you can help me revert to 6 or 7.0?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trax7:
1. Just backup everything you need (backing up whole apps isnt recommended though when you switch android versions).

2. Download and install Flashtool.

3. Open XperiFirm from inside Flashtool, select and download the firmware you need. It will bundle it automatically in a flashable ftf file.

4. Once you are sure you backed up everything, flash away.

Wipe everything. If you have TWRP and dont want to lose it, dont wipe FOTAKernel.

Good luck :fingers-crossed:

try disable Movie Creator app
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeansenVaars:
Thanks. Im back to 5.1.1 and running smooth. Not sure how long to wait before giving Last version another shot
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky.walker:
I did this; copied from the sony forums:

"Android 7.1.1 is not the culprit, but the recently updated Movie Creator app!

1: Disable MOVIE CREATOR

2: Reboot in SAFE MODE

(while phone is on, press Power button, hold Reboot option for 1 second)

3: Reboot again to normal mode

4: Enjoy 2 days of standby time"

My phone seems much better now.

I also disabled the Sony music app as I was having audio troubles, but not sure if it was necessary.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeansenVaars:
You guys think the guilty was the movie creator? My phone was barely usable. Full ram usage, battery drain and everything was laggy and hanging
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiers:
what was firmware just prior to 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1) ???

Hello could you kind folks please guide me what was official (not rooted) Sony Z5C firmware prior to the above monster? I want to go back but don't know which one it was? Please link me to official version just before this latest ( 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1)) NASTY update! Many Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackFriar:
Yes, surprisingly.

I went from ~15MB of free memory (and the associated problems complained about: laggy transitions, program openings, home page icons, etc). back to ~250-300MB free and typical performance.

Actually usable performance is a little better given they have one of the cortex A57's more aggressively clocked.

I'd try. You can always restore if you desperately want Movie Creator and see no benefit.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0zensphere:
What about the issue with browser page reloading every time you switch to a different app and then back again to the browser? OP reported this issue, and I've been having it, too. Did that get resolved for you with the disabled Movie Creator crap?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomixxon:
Wait. So can you actually downgrade with bootloader locked? I'm asking because I'd like to keep my ta partition untouched.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiers:
can you give link to the official flashtool and where to get ftf 7.0 android file for sony z5c?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trax7:
Google "Flashtool" - it's literally the first result there. Also, Flashtool has XperiFirm, which can download almost all firmwares for Xperias and pack them into ftf format automatically.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Yes, just flash an older version with Flashtool, it's how we got TA backup to be possible ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackFriar:
I didn't notice that problem before, but FWIW I can not recreate it now. :good:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0zensphere:
Happy to report that I'm another successful case: tried this recipe, and it resolved all of my issues. Phone feels great once again! Thank you for relaying this info from the Sony forums.

Anyone know why the very specific reboot sequence is necessary?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Eodmule:
I'm new to the S7 edge and was wondering if I could flash back to G935VVRU4API3 (6.0.1) from G935VVRU4BQF2 (7.0)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] gurnsey101:
Yeap you should have no problem doing so just throw that phone into download mode and flash :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Eodmule:
Awesome. I read that you can't flash backward from the latest 6.0.1 stock ROM to earlier because of bootloader changes. Last thing I want to do is brick my new phone.

your fine just make sure to use the PH1 update and youre good :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinTheGamer:
miren... resulta que mi defy entra en bootloader... si... pero RSD lite no me lo reconoce .. probe de TODO....

desde:

-Cargarlo al 100% con un cargador universal (porque se quedo sin sistema creo... porque no carga normalmente)

-Hacerles WIPES desde el POWER y volumen - (todo tipo)

-intentar abrir TWRP .. ( se apaga instantaneamente ... como si no tuviera carga)

-iniciarlo normalmente.. ( no funciona porque se apaga... creo que se quedo sin sistema porque con cargador normal no carga)

-abrir el segundo arranque (pasa lo mismo que con el TWRP .... se apaga!)

Dato importante:

-Habia instalado android 4.4.4 pero... se habia ***** por haberlo ruteado.. debido a esto intente flashearlo.. cuando me devolvieron mi PC (estaba en arreglo) se quedo sin carga ( tuve que comprar cargador universal) y luego de cargarlo al 100% puse bootloader... intale RSD lite.. (probe muchas verciones) luego los drivers de motorola (probe muchas verciones.. incluso de la pagina original ) .. asique aclaro.. el bootloader anda... el telefono anda normalmente.. pero se quedo sin sistema.. cuando lo conecto a PC hacer ruido pero el RSD lite no lo reconoce (solo el PC)

-tengo una rom lista.. pero si no me lo reconoce no puedo hacer nada ....<_<

EN FIN.... espero su respuesta ... confio en ustedes ... ! SALUDOS :)

Translation

Look ... it turns out that my defy goes into bootloader ... yes ... but RSD lite does not recognize it ... probe of EVERYTHING ....

since:

- Charge it to 100% with a universal charger (because it ran out of system I think ... because it does not load normally)

- Make them WIPES from the POWER and volume - (all type)

-try to open TWRP .. (shuts off instantly ... as if it had no load)

- start it normally .. (does not work because it goes off ... I think it ran out of system because with normal loader does not load)

-open the second boot (same as with the TWRP .... it goes off!)

Important fact:

-I had installed android 4.4.4 but ... had ***** for having routed it .. because of this I try to flash it .. when they returned my PC (I was in arrangement) I was without load (I had to buy universal charger ) And after loading it to 100% I put bootloader ... intale RSD lite .. (probe many verifications) then the drivers of motorola (probe many verifications .. even of the original page) .. soique claro .. the bootloader walks. .. the phone normally goes .. but it ran out of system .. when I connect it to PC make noise but the RSD lite does not recognize it (only the PC)

-I have a rom ready .. but if you do not recognize me I can not do anything .... <_ <

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pituca292:
Hello guys!

My G3 was working fine but suddently (while using what's app) it turned off and started to bootloop, just stopping if I remove the battery.

So I flashed kdz stock with lg flash tool 2014, it turned on again, but only stay on while charging (AC powered), if it's on usb, it turns on for some seconds and reboots and if it's just on battery, it just show the LG logo and reboots. I already tried other kdz but also don't work.

On charger it works fine, I can do everything normally, for tests, I've rooted it, installed twrp and everything is ok. But also on TWRP, when I remove the charger it reboots.

Any help, please? Should I buy a new battery? I think that battery is not the problem because it was working great before the problem...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Seems like it could be a battery problem. Probably worth trying another one

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammarti86:
With the availability of rooting the SM-N900V along with flashing Custom ROMs and Kernels, has anyone attempted to assign specific hardware tasks to the CPU cores?

The Snapdragon processor uses asynchronous core processing to allow tasks to be ran on any or all cores, which is great for general use. However, with viewing how battery saving and performance modes control ramping, it is my viewpoint that having a core focus on a specific function, (ie computes for the modem or gpu) instead of anything and everything possible, would increase RAM efficiency as well as increasing stability. The cores, in theory, would ramp indepently of each other, instead of having a single core being maxed out before it triggers others to come online.

I know that Linux systems have the isolcpu command to assign processes this way, but as involved as Android is, as well as being a POSIX system, it may be ridiculous to try to assign each and every process this way. Perhaps even more so with user apps being added and removed frequently.

I would love to hear insight as to whether this idea has any benefit to implementing, as well as reasons why it might be worse than the methods currently in place.
[Moto X Q&A] foxchic426:
I rooted my Moto x , it bootooped, so I flashed stock firmware, now wifi won't turn on. I've rerooted and everything. Is there a way to edit build.prop settings to fix wifi? Or any suggestions how to fix it?
[Moto X Q&A] Josephdbrewer25:
Make sure you factory reset and that you flashed the right firmware
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
This the Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM with GPS enabled (it is not enabled in the OEM ROM). Enabling GPS is the only difference this will make to your phone. This is OS-only so you will need to flash the OEM ROM first.

Download GPS-enabled Alltel ROM

1. Flash the original Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM.

2. Connect to PC and copy TITAIMG.nbh from my ROM to a MicroSD and remove it from the phone. Or alternatively, use WinRAR to extract all the files from the original .exe file from step 1 and replace RUU_Signed.nbh with my TITAIMG.nbh file.

3. Install Hard-SPL 2.40 from Olipro Link

6. Reinsert MicroSD and hit RESET. TITAIMG.nbh will install. If it does not, hold POWER+CAMERA while pressing RESET, you will briefly see the tri-colored bootloader screen and it should load the ROM. Or if you extracted the RUU from the original .exe file, just run RomUpdateUtility.exe.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fallingup:
the ruu works fine for me with spl 2.40, and you dont have to rename it at all, as long as there is only one .nbh file in your ruu folder.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
I never could get the Alltel WM6 RUU to work with SPL 2.40, nor the one that came with the Sprint leaked FW, nor one I downloaded from your FTP. They always cause the phone to reset at 1% and I get "ILLEGAL COMMAND" on the RUU. They all worked just fine with the old Hard-SPL 1.20 and also the 1.06 in the relocker. Weird. My laptop won't ActiveSync with any of my devices unless I turn off "Advanced network connectivity" in the control panel either, so it must be my old Thinkpad laptop. It's a P-III antique.

At any rate, flashing this ROM will be even easier for those who can use an RUU.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I've updated this ROM for 3.35.651.2.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jshaas2:
guys, i downloaded the new Alltel ROM yesterday. As stated, still wm6 but with RevA capability. I'm new to this stuff, but it looks like the above alltel ROM just gives the new stock ROM GPS capability. Is that correct?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
Yes, it is a permanent way to get GPS capability with the stock ROM.

I theorize the necessary changes can be made into a simple cab file so you don't need to flash the ROM unless you want the GPS enabled permanently. I plan to make a cab later today as some people want to try it out.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jshaas2:
yeah that would be cool.i have the new Alltel Radio, and i'm running DCD 3.0.1. the reason i went with 3.0.1 was i thought it enabled GPS. Now that i've got my device up and running, i see it does not.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
DCD3.01 does infact have working GPS my friend.....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jshaas2:
could be, if that's true my alltel engineer friends doesn't know about it. He told me GPS would not be enabled on the 6800 with Alltel. He even runs DCD, he can get it with a Sprint Radio, but not with the Alltel radio. again, that's just what he told me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
What he meant to say was that the ALLtel update does NOT include the drivers (3 of them) in the operating system thereby not enabling it, but the radio itself will allow GPS to work.... I'm flashing it right now, be back in a bit.... If you flash a DCD 3.0.x ROM you will have GPS drivers.....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jshaas2:
gotcha. i'm not doubting you..just wasn't sure of that.

i have dcd3.0.1 for alltel. 3.0.4 was taken down. I didn't think the radio was going to allow it..that's why a few friends i have are using the sprint radio. I'm a techy, but not in this world, so i'm learning...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
3.0.4 rom was never put up for alltel, thus never taken down

GPS does work with the alltel 3.37.20 radio and any dcd 3.x.x, on any carrier.

Is there any real improvements to this radio or is it just a higher number? Thus intreguing people.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
I am fairly new here and yesterday I just tried upgrading my phone. I followed the directions on this page to upgrade my Alltel 6800 and everything worked great, but now I am unable to send or receive calls, send or receive text messages and my phone is blinking that I am in roaming when I am not. How do I fix this? I did take down some of the important numbers that one of the other forums told me to, so if I need to do something with those, just let me know. I need help!! Thanks! :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
As long as you did NOT allow customization to complete when you flashed to the stock Sprint ROM, you can do a *228 and press 3 when the lady starts talking in order to get everything fixed to where it will work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
What I ended up doing was changing my MDN number to my own number, changed the MSID back to what i was and then did the *228 and 3 and it worked great!

I do have 1 last question though. How do you know if GPS is working? Google maps won't pick it up and it's getting very frustrating. Thanks! :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
When you go to "Use GPS" it should look for satellites. It might take up to 15-minutes the first time, but every subsequent time it should only take a few seconds.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
Do I have to be outside or will by a window work?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
I've heard it helps, but mine will pick up satellites anywhere in the house.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
OK, well I have google maps on now and it's seeking satilites. It's showing 0 right now but I'll be patient and update when I have results.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
It was on for about 3 mintues and then came back with "Your GPS receiver is having trouble tracking GPS satellites." Any other tips?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
Try pressing RESET or press & hold power on the phone and click "YES" to the pop up message. Then try it again.

If it only works that one time and not after you turn it off, then you probably have the same problem as I did and will need to get my newer ROM. I hadn't bothered to upload it since a lot of other people said they weren't having my problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
Same Error, it did run for about 5 mintues this time though :-/
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
That's strange, I never had it not work at all.

I'll upload the newer version later tonight, maybe that will do the trick.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] leepoffaith:
OK, well I figured out that I didn't actually have the GPS on, so that probably would help! Lol

Once I did turn it on though, it has been sitting on my window sill for over an hour search for GPS satellites and still hasn't found any! The blue dot is stuck over india. Ugh, maybe i'll sit it outside for a while.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
Hi GnatGoSplat,

didn't we figure out that the faster GPS in sprint 3.49 is thanks to the new sprint PRI?

I have been playing with some PRI updates, and it looks like the sprint 3.49 update does not overwrite carrier name.

I wonder if it would help GPS times for you alltel guys to load the sprint 2.03 PRI?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
I haven't tried the new Sprint 3.49, but I did use the old Sprint 3.35 and it was quite fast to lock onto satellites.

The Alltel 3.35 with GPS hacks didn't seem nearly as fast to me, but then I replaced a file... I forget the filename, something like msm7500usbfn.dll (or similar) and that made mine fast and also fixed a problem I had with GPS not working after going into suspend (soft off) and turning back on again. Others didn't report having that problem with the cab I made to enable GPS, so I don't know if it was just my phone or what.

How do we load just the PRI? My phone is just a spare so I have no problems experimenting with it. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
I am sending you a link in PM - this is probably not for everyone until we confirm it is OK.
