[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] g1-and-only:
I have the note 8 but it's strictly for work, I have the 6t for play and honestly it's still stock, except I flashed it with the international rom from TMobiles. I just use adguard which blocks everything you want and it's a yearly subscription that doesn't cost much check it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] mlock420:
What does ad blocking apps do? I've had some but when I watch bootleg movies online(lol) I still see ads?

BTW im a huge Samsung phone fan since epic tough 4g but I have up after note 8....it's just to mind boggling to root Sammy phones if your on T-Mobile like me who don't want to pay for the phone upfront ends up getting the locked boots....anyway I'm on OnePlus 6t converted to international...unlocked my boots flashed twrp flashed magisk flashed a custom kernel and that's it headache free viper4android for louder sound and subs to make the phone look the way I want it to.....

I have to admit I still play around with my note 8 especially after the pie update looks good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
I've been thinking for about 2 years now, since the G925V, it is the way in which we root the device that is the problem. Technically speaking, our actual method of perma-rooting a device is about the same as it was 10 years ago. And since CF stopped working on Samsung Devices, it seems no one else will really. I really think that's the problem, no one ever filled the void left by CF quitting Samsung public dev work.

Is Chainfire's way the only way? Or the only way that's really been developed?

Are you the developer of this ROM? [MENTION=6812097]raschad[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raschad:
I'm builder)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xperia1-2:
Thank you very much for your contribution. Although I am more inclined to RR in terms of emotion, it is good to have a new ROM experience.:laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Persiastar:
Thanks for your work,also for new kernel(3.5)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xperia1-2:
Sir, you didn't integrate the 3.5 kernel into the ROM, so should I brush the kernel? The aox experience is better than RR.:fingers-crossed:

What are the differences between Resurrection Remix and Aosp Extended?

And could someone post some screenshots of Aosp Extended?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikash1994b:
Resurrection Remix is based on Lineage os whereas AEX is based on AOSP. Both are highly customisable roms but I personally like AEX more as right now it's more stable than RR and doesn't have navigation bar bug in landscape. Here are some screenshots.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Persiastar:
Battery Life is Very Good,battery Charging is stable(kernel 3.5)

Just one issue ,exfat not supported, don't know its kernel problem or ROM problem
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] -kOS-:
This issue is a RZ Kernel v3.5 problem, if you leave the kernel the ROM has, you can read exfat.

If you want to change the kernel, use adb fastboot method
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bokhsan:
i can't find this navigation bar in your screenshot

I found two issues.

1) the notification led doesn't work. (Systemwide). Only at charging.

2) phone doesn't charge to 100 %. Phone charge only to 96%.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] z7kazanova:
clean install means that I should wipe all "cache, dalvik, data and system" ?

and that will fix rebooting and camera issue ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] koraymers:
yes it's gonna fix random reboots not the camera issue
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] z7kazanova:
thank you

but there is no solution for the camera till now ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] override999:
As a temporary solution to the problem with the camera, you can use Cameringo in the "Effects" mode 8.3mpx 16:9.

In this case, there are no shutdowns and camera freezes after the second photo.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] maisdoiscorregos:
And reboot with facebook APP?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] z7kazanova:
Yes, even I did clear install

Inquiry about a common bug in xperia Z2

in past... I've tried many oreo roms, and they all have the same bug that no one talking about

The CPU can't enter deep sleep mode while the screen is off, the cpu force the system to enter this mode, this will cause random reboots every 2min when im away from the device, but when im using it everything is fine.

This never happened to me in 7.0

Now im afraid to go to ur build and face the same bug or problem

The weird thing that no one complained about this expect me...

Thanks in advance

Does this ROM support F2FS?

Can F2FS make Z2's perfomance faster?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] blacknight153:
camera fix ??

so i got this issue on this rom taking to many photos will crash the camera and wont let me take photos till i restart the phone is there is going to be a patch for this issue because i love this rom so much the best android pie rom for the z2 till now

oh and can you re-add the original camera app from the stock rom i do miss the timeshift and 4k recording :p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
For the camera. A temporary fix, is to download cameringo ..

You can take photos as much as you want

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Idk

I tested that long ago on Oreo ROM

From what I tested. You won't notice the difference in performance. Maybe due to old eMMC memory that our device has.

In fact, you will face some problems Related to apps..

Some apps may behavior weirdly, especially root apps.

that's why I stick with ext4 as it's very compatible.. And it's not worthy changing to F2FS...

Did you change that custom kernel?.. Because it doesn't work well for me
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raschad:
Flash RZ-kernel.

I need to know that the new kernel is worse than the old one. Let them answer - then I will change the source.

Write on this forum, that need - XREN or kernel from AICP source?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bokhsan:
hi thank you for new update

Sorry still performance not good and not Stable

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ali6944:
Scrolling through the app drawer on both the original launcher and lawnchair is very laggy for me, but super smooth everywhere else, is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

other than that and the known bugs, it's a really good experience.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] aelfinn:
Maybe you could install Nova Launcher for a quick test to see whether that behaves normally?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] lexastav:
yes, I have too

---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

- Phone calls (conversation) are extremely loud and i can't lower a volume (or it doesn't work)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ali6944:
Nova launcher 6.1.6 works fine
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] pbgapski:
In my experience the device was more stable with the previous build+RZ kernel.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ali6944:
Current kernel works fine with a couple of tweaks, elementalx governor / intelliplug and some messing about with Kernel Adiutor made performance good and heat somewhat negligable.

The most notable bug however is this weird behaviour with sound, if you set any sort of audio, call, media, ringtone to 60% or so or higher the speakers get very very loud And start crackling, then they dial back And become very quiet no matter the sound level you choose, pause the sound for a minute and play it again and the same thing happens, I got a logcat while playing a song and I'll attach it here, if you need more logs or a different method of logging/testing I'll be happy to help.

Sound now works as it should, the back camera now works fine for photos using full resolution and the stock Sony camera app , still have to use cameringo for front facing camera and video.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Axel_Cj:
Just Tried it, So Far So Good The Camera Focus fixed but you still have to use it with cameringo, Still Reboots With Facebook installed i guess the kernel not changed yet Unfortunately, Didn't see Anything new Except This

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] koraymers:
guys here is the 0324 build's kernel. i just tasted it on lastest 1505 May build and seems like working ****ing well. enjoy

ps i don't use facebook so couldn't test it for force close

also please note that the kernel which on previous post is seems like stock aosp kernel. it doesn't allow edit cpu frequency for overclock and governor settings

I don't understand why [MENTION=233972]rashad[/MENTION] doesn't build rom with xren even people are really satisfied with it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raschad:
Build from 05/15/2019 already contains XREN kernel, but all complain about the problems - reboots, less stability
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] koraymers:
than pardon me it's my bad, 0324 kernel was perfect hope next one gonna be better
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ali6944:
This one works much better, little to no heat and good battery life, it's very close to Carbon Rom Oreo's kernel which was great, all it needs (imo) is underclocking and maybe sound control.

The original XERN kernel works fine too, but it runs a bit hot (without installing the facebook app, which threw the phone into a bootloop until i clean flashed again).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] atti9935:
I am fan of PuBG mobile and having very low FPS on this ROM, tried the latest build with default and rz kernal. I used kernal auditor to overclock but two core get offline while playing I don't know why.

Hi [MENTION=6812097]raschad[/MENTION]. Tnx for your awesome ROM.

Apparently in this custom ROM, wifi regional issue is fixed without installing anything. What changes you've done in bcmdhd.cal file (in \system\vendor\firmware folder)? can you upload it in this thread and let me see it? maybe I can fix this issue by change that file according to yours? (My phone is Xperia z3 and I have android pie cr7.0)

Thank you so much
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raschad:
I changed the wifi region in the ROM sources.

https://github.com/Raschad/android_...mmit/197e401707c31cf9c79cea914915a8cd95ed0109

You need to look for another way, you may need to decompile the framework.jar

Or ask the ROM author to add this change

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] FirstEver:
[MENTION=6812097]raschad[/MENTION]

Please add this section to the original thread.

What's broken:

- Standard camera apps crashes after taking a second photo

- only Cameringo app works but lagging (no 4K recording or additional settings etc)

- Front camera doesn't work in apps like Skype, Messenger etc. Works.

- After activating the Google Assistant (Hello Google), mic does not work during calls

- I do not have any problem with 5G WiFi
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] @kitokit:
Front camera during messenger video calls works for me...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ali6944:
I don't think it's a big deal but I'm interested in knowing more, if you don't mind of course.

iirc country codes are used to govern the maximum transmit power so it's in line with government regulations , so a phone that's just a receiver wouldn't be an issue, unless we're talking about the code change altering the transmit power of the phone's Hotspot, that would be really interesting.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ticktock666:
Unless the no WiFi thing is meant to happen in these specific 5 countries that are on the United States list of sanctions, so by adding this code you are helping them bypass the restriction.

Not sure though, just an idea.

Also, by setting your WiFi region code to something different might allow you to view and access WiFi bands that are reserved/restricted in certain areas for special uses, again, I'm not sure.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ali6944:
Thanks!

It's plausible, but not likely, I don't think anyone will get extradited over a custom rom used by a maximum of a thousand people or so, but it's a very interesting prospect nonetheless.
