ExistenZ Marshmallow problems and solutions - Xperia Z2 General

Our beloved developer @niaboc79 is getting very tired of people always asking the same questions and posting their problems in the development topic of his rom.
So I decided to make this topic in the "general" section of the forum where people can post about their problems and hopefully some solutions, in the hopes that it will help him and the people having problems at the same time.
Whenever a cause or a solution for a problem is found, I will put it in the second post, right underneath this one.
I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and cannot help much myself, I will just collect and centralize information, and I'm in no way affiliated with @niaboc79 and his work, and do absolutely not deserve any credits for his work.
Also there is no guarantee that the information I collect and post in the second post will be a solution for your problem even if it has apparently worked for other people with similar symptoms.
I invite everyone that uses his rom to share helpful information here. (please)

Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that @niaboc79 posted himself. You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:
-Don't update busybox
-Don't update Kernel
-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)
If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.
If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.
Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!
Lag problems:
-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)
-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)
If you still witness lag after that:
-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.
-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)
-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.
-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.
-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.
-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version
Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:
-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)
Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.
Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work
-Remove beta feedback app
You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

The second post of this topic right here...

i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.
is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?

Maybe this will work
But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo

By just looking at that image, not really.
I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.

Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

there is no setting menus for those 2 apps so can't change anything. The chrome2phone was working fine on my original ROM (froyo)
isn`t there is Android 2.3.7 for the galaxy tab
can you use it in the next update?

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....
use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.

[Solution] Most of "Solved" Launcher reload - No ROOT needed !

Hello folkz,
I`m proud to present a solution to fix the reload Launcher problem. Must work with all firmwares (still I recommend I9300XXBLFB) or the latests !
First, how can I check if I get this problem if I didnt noticed it?
1. Long press Home button
2. Task manager
3. Go to RAM
4. Clear memory
5. Press Home button
6. See how all home reloads, the launcher is reload
Solution:
1. Take out Weather Clock widget http://db.tt/CY2rRwzu
2. Soft reset
3. Clear memory, surprize.. no reload
Video to prove
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOUfWtHQ0Ec
Tip:
A better Weather Clock you find at Beautiful Widgets, and the problem is gone
This solution will work much better, no more often reloads.. only when your RAM is highly overused.
So basically you're saying that LFB fixes the redraw problem and all you have to do is flash LFB?

At least he was right with one thing. In I9300BVALF4 after a wipe and a factory reset I can not reproduce the TW reload.

You are wrong! I tested on my s2 and after clearing the RAM the TW launcher remains every time so this must be also in S3 firmwares.

4. Clear memory

6. See how all home reloads, the launcher is reload
Method1) Now let`s fix this by:
1. Flash with odin I9300BVALF4 (see note point 2)
2. Go in recovery and wipe cache + data/factory (see note point 1)
3. Do initial settings, restart phone
4. Test launcher problem, seems fixed
Method2) Ok, now more of you will say but I dont need an older firmware, I need latest one or my country/carrier specific one (read note 6), NO PROBLEM, here what to do:
1. Flash with odin I9300BVALF4 (see note point 2)
2. Go in recovery and wipe cache + data/factory (see note point 1)
3. Do initial settings, restart phone
4. Flash I9300XXBLFB (latest UK firmware, see note point 3), or flash any wanted ROM
5. Do not wipe data/factory reset
6. Latest firmware installed, test launcher problem, seems fixed
Notes:
1.If you have a newer firmware after flash it may give you erros like X process stopped.. no problem take out battery for 5 sec. Put battery back and dont turn on, go in recovery mode (vol up+home button+power button)
Wipe cache partition, then wipe data/factory reset, reboot system now
2. About I9300BVALF4 + download
branded (only logo and browser icon with yellow, no additional apps)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5280
3. About I9300XXBLFB + download
latest firmware from UK, unbranded, many fixes and Allshare Cast
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5271
More info read here, thanks to Faryaab (+ how to flash with odin)

4. Kies will not support anymore updates, but will connect.. because of different CSC. Anyway who updates with kies? Odin much safe and better. Thats all..
5. This will not void your warranty, all are stocks ROM and you can get to yours whenever you want.
6. Dont know if will work with all country/carrier specific last firmware, but I do know that with UK last firmware is really working.
7. Video to prove (specially for flamers made)

You could do it this way, or,
2)
Change launcher oom priorities.
Hmmm, which way is easier, makes more sense and isn't stupid?
Oh I know, its the second way!
Seriously OP, you took the long pointless way to do something simple.
And what's all this about noobs??
You can't talk about noobs, just read the OP and you'll see why.

Thread cleaned. There does seem to be feedback this works.

I fixed mine by simply turning off animations, however since flashing latest firmware it seems fine with animations enabled.

Thank you, anyway I will not post too much anymore here.. I just post what I did found by myself, if people doesnt like my solution they can ignore not to flame me for nothing, I didnt ask for money or for nothing, just tried to help.
The results can be seen in the video clearly. Who has anything else to add, be free
I`d love somebody else find a better solution, or Samsung to look into Orange stock firmware, why there is no problem with launcher and on the rest it is..

in last UK firmware ? did you do what I wrote, or just flashed last firmware and factory reset.. ?

so your saying clearing ram causes a redraw... of course it does! Your clearing the bloody ram! Jesus
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
No, that you can test if the problem exist to your firmware.
Of course and not of course, what to be ? because on my video is not reloading the launcher.. dont know, you guys when post did you ever read ?
If reload when clear memory, is clear that you have problems. For example enter on browser Opera, make a big download, open also a radio, camera, and play a game, for example asphalt 6.. now press home button, to see how is reload your launcher.. wow.. without clearing the memory
That is the fastest and small test to see if have problems or not.
There is no need to flash all sorts of firmwares and jump through burning hoops, all people need to do is change the oom priority of the launcher.

This has been reported as a problem loads of times. Nice one for posting a fix.
As for all the trolls, if you don't like something there's no need to start ripping people appart. Xda used to be a really nice place but sad to say to many trolls on here now spoiling it.
If you haven't got something nice or some positive criticism to say don't say anything. Simple.

Bear that in mind that most of us we like to keep the phone on STOCKS and UNROOTED.
Thanks

No I'm not joking at all, and look at method 2 on that page, it doesn't get more simple than that.
And when you say "most of us want to keep it on stock" what you actually mean is some of us, because most people on xda would be rooted, at least.

Yes very simple, anyway is doesnt matter what I wrote here because I found who cause this bug and I will edit the first post.. and for all firmwares is like fixed
I like too root and customs roms, but now for S3 best are stocks...
LE: First post modified, check for the real solution
god! what is the logic behind flashing 2 firmwares back to back? and how can it possibly fix launcher redraw which is caused by poor allocation of memory?

Is not because of that, read now first post to see what was the problem.. Is a bug from Weather Clock
The stock from Orange didnt have that clock as default, thats why worked nice.

Solution:
1. Take out Weather Clock widget http://db.tt/CY2rRwzu
2. Soft reset or wait about 1 minute
3. Clear memory, surprize.. no reload
Video to prove

Tip:
A better Weather Clock you find at Beautiful Widgets, and the problem is gone

Damn this worked for me :good:..tried 2 games, heavy browsing, everything..no reload @ all..even after clearing memory, therez no reload..a simple and excellent solution! Dunno about rest of the guys but worked for me like a charm! :good::good:
Should I disable the weather widget in the application manager?
I don't have the weather widget on my home screen but I still do have the redraw problem.

Don't change web top resolution. Leave it at 720 at 60hz.Otherwise the phone starts glitching bad when you leave web top.
Sometimes there is a green bar on bottom of screen in camera.
Sometimes the phone takes a couple seconds to wake up.
The default CPU governor is pretty jumpy. On demand works better.
That's all I've noticed so far.

Just confirming with others that Ramfix.zip works for non-US models.
I flashed with ICS and Ram fix CWM, install vendor.img with fast boot and now it works very stable i did not get any FC or random reboot
For rooting, simply install SuperSu, if it doesnt work:
1. Download unlock root http://www.mediafire.com/?p2wgclhox6lq218
2. Root using it, very simply, just install, plug phone and run
3. Download SuperSu and any root explorer
4. Delete superuser.apk from /system/app
5. Install superuser from market
6. Uninstall superuser from market
This will get you rooted with SuperSu (better for ICS)

HWA does appear to be working as per the videos in the install thread showing video camera now working as well as fingerprint reader. I think this thread is a WIP for getting a stable rom installation. The installer thread intro gives you the bare bones.

i second that, i configure the apn, when i want to use the mobile data the phone reboots, works fine without data, wifi only.
Radio seems Funky
Random reboots and screen scrambling, phone gets hot. Also, screeching noise from bluetooth hands free device at times.
wifi prolem
wifi not working on mi atrix4g at&t
some solution
Phone seems stable until I place it onto the webtop. Once I open up the webtop lid, the picture is of the Android UI, out of phase, but not the webtop interface. Pull the phone out, and the UI is no longer smooth, visible tearing artifacts. After a few minutes, it reboots on its own, and either works or gets stuck in a boot loop (requiring a battery pull).
Google Now for ICS FC's, so don't try.
EDIT: It works, needs a reboot though.
Confirming tearing artifacts (same as corneliusm) on turning screen on by pressing power button while phone is connected to computer (USB cable). Was worried that my phone is dying....

[ROM] [CM10.1] OaT_LnT[July 25, 2013]

Background
This is a very light and tweaked version of CM10.1 along with a lightened and tweaked version of GApps. If you are familiar with my previous Light n Tasty (LnT) releases, you know what to expect, although as of late I am going even further. For example, I am not including the CM Browser or Calendar apps in the ROM as IMO there are much better 3rd party ones available in Google Play, generally for free. (I do encourage you to support the developer via a paid app if that is available.) LnT is ringing in at very svelte ~240MB, leaving ~73MB free in an unexpanded ROM partition via AcmeInstaller3, after flashing LnT_CM10.1 and LnT_GApps. With that kind of room, you could even consider applying AppstoROM if it were beneficial to your TP. The standard GApps should be able to be used with the ROM, if so desired. Updates to the ROM and GApps will be made as significant changes occur, or if I get bored and want to flash something new :silly: .
Flashing
Personally, coming from LnTTP_CM10, I just dirty flashed over it with no problems, using the latest (?) TWRP. If you are coming from another ROM, it is highly recommended that you do a full set of wipes before flashing the ROM. It is also recommended that GApps be concurrently flashed with the ROM.
Issues
The issues with LnT are the same as with other CM10.1 releases, which center around a non-working bluetooth. Presumably the camera has been enabled, but as I have never really used that capability in CM or WebOS, I have not verified that. In fact, no camera app is included in the ROM, so if one is interested in that feature, a working one would have to be found in Google Play or one 'extracted and installed' from a standard CM10.1 ROM. Finally, if one is having problems with sound cutting off when the display turns off, try switching bluetooth on. It will not stay on, but it does seem to fix the sound problem when the display turns off.
Acknowledgements
I'll use the 'trickle down' approach here, and personally thank milaq, whose git repository this build is based on. It then follows that I am indebted to the work of those he mentions who have specifically contributed in the development of CM for the TouchPad, and to the many others who make generic contributions to CM, and of course to Google and AOSP for providing open source, which without none of this could be accomplished.

Screenshots
System Add-Ons
Find your system add-ons to LnTTP here. They, of course, need to be placed in the system/apps directory, followed by setting the permissions appropriately, and then rebooting your TP. Since I don't use these I really can't verify if they work. Finally, if you are aware of a newer version, notify me and I will update here asap.
Been using this for a week, rock solid and very clean. I dirty flashed over his previous ROM using TWRP, along with the slimmed down Gapps. I am using Next browser and a calendar, both work well. I haven't been successful using Camera JB+, it tries to open, but when you try to take a picture it closes.
Great work as usual OaT!

Thanks for the ROM OaT. I use my touchpad much more than my Galaxy Tab (that still sits in the box and turned on only once) b/c your ROMs are so much better.
Hell Yah! Thanks again Oat for another badass release. Downloading now and can't wait to flash. Was using your 10.1 before and I'm sure this will continue to only get better.

Kondik's/CM's New Privacy Guard
Hate to do this so soon after just posting the 0621 ROM, but oh well!
Have you heard about Kondik's/CM's new Privacy Guard capability? It's a WiP, but I've been using it most of the day on both my N4 and TP, and it seems to work very well and appears to be stabilizing in terms of changes. If you too want to give it a try, here you go...

No worries OaT, and I was able to download and flash the newer one successfully. I haven't opened up yet but I like the new boot animation. :laugh:
Getting pretty typical 10.1, but also not great battery life on this. Seeing about 30 to 40 mA drain when sleeping.

btw, camera works (at least Camera JB+), but appears to flip the image. Still, good to get the camera working in time for my trip (so I can use Skype).

There are 2 locations to set options. In Settings>>Security towards the very bottom you will see a toggle that sets the privacy option on in every new app installed. In Settings>>Apps, after you select an app, you will see a checkbox in the app information that turns the privacy option on for that app. With the option turned on, for example, apps will be told gps is off, whether in fact it is or not, thus protecting your location. Also, for example, apps seeking a list of contacts will be provided a false list. There are also a few other actions also done to protect your privacy from 'nosy' apps.

I don't know if you are on MM yet but I noticed that there is a thing under App's (on MM) in settings where you can set what apps draw over e.g.. facebook chat bubbles. I think if you enable your apps that you want notifying you on lock-screen to draw over mode then it may show on lock-screen. Its working so far for my weather updates from google app... I could be entirely wrong and I am using a fairly wonky build of MM but I just thought I would offer my insight Best of luck bud.

I'm sure MM will fix that for you bud!
I do know the struggle, waiting on OTA's for us in New Zealand is painful. On top of the fact that before I went MM I wasn't getting notifications at all, calls missed cause it wasn't bringing the call screen up...all sorts of havoc.
Worst comes to worst you could try factory restore, then do the theme thing that other guy mentioned. You should technically have a default, it's weird you are missing it.
