Hello!
There are some problems have appeared recently. Some apps and games (COC, Injustice, Idapricol etc.) are not starting, when I touch it to start app there is just black screen. Please Help me!
OS: KK 4.4.4 official
I upgraded OS to Lollipop, it's working, but I don't like to use it because of there is not full root permission (some apps which needs SU is not fully working).

Hi,
I've just install from the new installer CyanogenMod the ROM, after 2 automatique update, now it's tagged:
11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P
I think (from the note above the version) it's a M8.
What about the M9 and M10? It's comming in automatique Update (OTA) or I need to install it manualy?
Is the Installer version are something different as Mx?
ps: it's a very stable ROM (version), and I don't want change from a M9-10 right now, it's about know if updates are avaible from the Installer version and if a CyanogenMod 12 (Android L) comming, it's possible by Automatique Updater (OTA).
Hi, same question, please?
Me too ?
Personally, I would install TWRP, create a nandroid backup of your current ROM, manually flash an updated ROM and test the new ROM for a while. If the new ROM is unstable, restore your previous ROM from TWRP.
I think I have an even better question.
I hope this is a good question. I have loaded the CM installer version and to my delight I was back on 4.4.2 KK. I did not like the official 5.0.2 L update everything was slow and sluggish and I wanted to get back to root. Upon setting up my deb-razorg and after all apps were re-installed I had received a CM Installer update and I am now on 11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P aka 4.4.4. Click check for updates under system updates yields nothing it simply shows your system is up to date however during the process of updating google play services and I am sure frameworks somehow in my notification shade it shows System update available (Android 5.0.2 System update). I do not want to make this mistake again as this is what I saw using stock ROM right before going to Lollipop. The question is why would I get a separate OTA from Google why would I get an official OTA or AOSP update at the same time I had been getting back to back CM Installer updates? They appear to be two separate updates so not only do I not want to go back to Lollipop I am scared that would brick my tablet since I am on CM Installer. I cannot get rid of the official update from notification shade. Please help the question is not specific to the device I would just like to know why I am getting two different update prompts one official and one from CM installer?
hello people, to actualize android 5.1.1 and does not work to kill me applications applications (app kill or release RAM)
which applications you use and whether they work ...
Nor walks batery stats
tool app does not work any
I realised fast reboot app is not working with 5.1.1 as well. Damn
When I first upgraded from 4.4 to 5.1 I couldn't find any guide on how to upgrade my phone(without bricking it ) but I tried and it worked and it's very simple.
I'm using moto e xt1022 Indian version.
Previously I had:
-Official Kitkat 4.4 version with root
-TWRP 2.7.2.0 recovery
How I upgraded (and can you) to Official Lollipop 5.1 Rom:
1. I updated the recovery to [RECOVERY][Condor] TWRP 2.8.7 touch recovery [2015-05-05] . I used Flashify app to install recovery.
2. choose a flavour of lollipop roms from this post [ROM][5.1][STOCK][FLASHABLE ZIP] Stock Motorola Lollipop ROM Collection by lost101. I personally liked the Untouched version (459mb) because Xposed framework runs smoothly on this Rom so, I debloated it( to 280 MB) and flashed it.
2.1 this Rom is NOT ROOTED but when you successfully flash this ROM via TWRP 2.8.7, at the end of flashing TWRP will ask to root this ROM SELECT YES, that's how I rooted it.
3 phone booting will take some time.
4. After bootup, update your SU app to the latest version to avoid any problem.
optional: I also updated my Radio to Lollipop Radio Firmware from the same Lollipop ROM Collection thread. (but this Radio is entirely optional) I just wanted to test it and it's working fine so far..
XposedFramework Part
5. flash xposed-v7*-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20150816.zip from twrp recovery [UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for Android 5.1
6. booting up will take some time.
7. open Xposed installer app in phone; download the GravityBox App from Download menu; install it then tick the app in Module option and restart. GravityBox will work flawlessly
I've also tried several other modules and they are working properly.
Hope this little guide will help new seekers
Cheers

I haven't faced any issues with radio yet.
Hi all,
I have UK SG312 on Andorid 4.3 rooted with SuperSU already installed .....
I have Phab7 installed via Xposed Installer and also a few other UI customisations via gravity box such as custom battery status .. but the main reason was to get the tablet mode UI option enabled so that the Back & Home .. etc buttons/icons are positioned in the more tablet friendly bottom left of the screen.
Is it possible to update to the official latest Android release (lollipop 5.1 - ROM 10.6.A.0.454) and keep my root, so that Phab7 / Xposed will still work .. or is it impossible to have legacy tablet mode ui on Lollipop ... is there an alternative to Xposed & Pahb7 that works for lollipop ?
I seem to remember that it was possible to update from 4.0 to 4.X and keep root using the OTA updates as long as SuperSU was installed and its binaries updated prior to running the update...
Does this method still work and will Phab7 still work ? ... do i need to do something with Phab7 or Xposed first ?
I tried to find the answers on the forum but couldn't find anything that matched my situation ....
Sorry all but i am about two years out of date with current Android unlock/root methods .... I've been happy with 4.3 so far ....
is it actually worth updating to 5.1 ?, is there a performance hit ?
So many questions ... any suggestion or advice greatly appreciated ...
Cheers
Jay
I'm on a SGP321 (LTE/4G) running 10.7.A.0.222 (LP 5.1.1).
10.7.A.0.228 has just been released, but is still vulnerable to stagefright.
Installing the Xposed framework on LP+ requires you to flash a zip file in recovery. You cannot install it through Android like before.
I'm running v78 sdk22 with Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4.
Is your device out of warranty?
If so, I'd recommend you unlock your bootloader to gain access to recovery.
You won't have to deal with losing root, and you can make system backups.
No need to unlock as there are working root exploits. See RootKit's post.
I too was reluctant to upgrade when Sony decided to remove the tablet mode.
I liked the nav bar on the left and notifications on the bottom right.
There was an Xposed module for KK4.4 which enabled the Tablet UI layout for the system called TabletKat. I used that while on KK. (repo.xposed.info/module/org.exalm.tabletkat)
But in Android 5+, they seemed to have totally removed the Tablet UI layout from SystemUI (as described here: ykkfive.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/real-original-xperia-tablet-ui-mode-for.html).
However, there is another module called "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons" (repo.xposed.info/module/com.gzplanet.xposed.xperianavbarbuttons)
which allows you to add margin to the right to reposition the buttons. See attached screenshots.
It does not move the notifications to the bottom right.
Yes, there are ways to keep root but I've never needed to as I have unlocked my bootloader and have recovery.
The methods usually rely on software bugs, which usually get patched. So this may not be doable for LP.
Subjectively, Lollipop feels snappier, but that could just be because I started with a fresh copy of android.
All the root apps I use and most of my Xposed modules work, so I'm happy on 5.1.1.
Regardless, I would recommend you upgrade as there are many security vulnerabilities patched between 4.3 and 5.1.
If and when Sony finally decides to patch Stagefright, you should definitely upgrade.

You can update to 5.1.1 (not .454 as it is Android 5.0.2, but 10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 firmware versions) via flashing PreRooted firmware via XZDR recovery. (TWRP preferrable) and maintain Root&Recovery&Xposed, but Tablet Kat won't work. Though it's creator promised to adapt it to LP.

Actually yes, the rom is one of the smoothest on device. Also there is a slight performance boost (see Antutu or Quadrant), because of the good optimization.
Xposed and many modules like Gravity Box are working good. So i see no reason to stay on older ROMs like 4.3 or .4.4.x.

By unlocking he will wipe TA partition with DRM keys which is unrecoverable. Furthermore, unlocking bootloader doesn't give you access to recovery cause Sony devices don't have stock recovery like Nexus or Samsung, so he will need to flash recovery to FOTA partition or use kernel with built-in one.
So instead, it's easier and safer to install XZDR recovery on bootloader locked Sony stock rooted ROM.
Also from it you can install Stock PreRooted ROM (like .454 or .222 or whatever you like ROMs), so you will keep root and bootloader locked at the same time.
So, your advice is a bit obsolete.
As you may know, even if it's rare some Tab 2 devices just won't accept Android 7. When you install any ROM that is based on Nougat device will just refuse to work properly. It will lag so bad you won't be able to do anything and forcefully return to Marshmallow.
I'm happy to announce that I found issue: Busybox. Yes, it appears Busybox somehow messes the Android 7. I've also found it messes with Android 6. So, I decided to test all latest 7.1.2 custom ROM's made by Andi.
LineageOS 14.1: Latest 2020 build with OC kernel, lagged after Busybox install.
Unlegacy project 7.1.2: Same as above, however system lagged after boot so I can't test it
Omnirom 7.1.2: Worked like charm until I decided to update it's busybox.
So, I decided to stick on Omnirom 6.0.1 and used it's native busybox instead of updating it. The problems I suffered while I used LineageOS 13.1 is gone. My wifi works properly and no constant app crashes.
I have no idea why Busybox would mess system up, but something between 1.22.1 (the version Omnirom comes with) and 1.30.1 (current Busybox version on Busybox Pro) is definitely not compatible with Andi's ROMs
