Expanded Desktop -LP? - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, im trying to re enable pie controls along with expanded desktop, but the expanded desktop toggle that normally appeared in the power menu in KK, is not showing in LP. I also tried qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 but it doesn't work either.
Any insight on the matter?

Er... why can't you provide the necessary information needed to be able to say something useful regarding your question?
For example, which firmware (stock ROM, CM...) you have?

Hi,
Stock 5.0.1, rooted with dual recovery.
I tried through gravitybox, latest version to no avail. Expanded Desktop option will not appear in power menu.
Qemu line in the props configuration file yields no results either.

Well, you seem to be a difficult case...
As you should know, there is no 5.0.1 on the Z2 tablet, only 5.0.2.
And on 5.0.2., there are different firmwares, like the .690 one, the .726 one etc.
You seem to have too little knowledge...
With .726 firmware and Gravitybox 5.0.8 the EP option works flawlessly. GB 5.0.9 gives bootloop on my device, so I stay on 5.0.8.

Thanx for the reply, albeit you have to admit,you helped little to solve my exp.desk issue.
Im on 5.0.2 as a matter of fact on the 512 wifi-only device.
No version causes bootloops on this device -it does on the Z1 phone, but as i exclaimed above, the exp.desk doesnt work, nor does the option to hide nav bar, and the incompatibility issues hardly stop there.

Gravitybox is anyway not supported on our devices, so you probably are just out of luck, and I'm just lucky.

Yes sadly, hopefully we will get support in the future.
How about the tap to wake, does it work for you ;

The inbuilt tap to wake of the Sony stock ROM? Of course it works, why shouldn't it?

Perhaps you should make a factory reset, there seem to be some things out of whack...

wierd. Right, it was deactivated by default (?!). Re enabled and works as intended.
If only i could hide my nav bar.

Cant get PC to read watch in step 10 of flashing
I have an Omate 1/8 which arrived yesterday. I factory reset it. I got through steps 1-9 of the recent Rom update. When I tried 10, to connect my watch to my PC, it recognized a "removable disc G:" and told me to insert a disk, but it didn't/couldn't read the watch contents.
(The setup file in step 2 did properly set up according to my pc.)
Anyone able to suggest what I do?

Are you trying to flash the ROM or trying to run the patch? They are two different things. This thread is for the Patch.
No root
Thanks for all your work so far on the x201! Having an issue of no root on the watch...
1. x201 Omate Truesmart
2. Omate_Truesmart_20140120.154604_v2.0
3. Not root after flashing 1.0.2 patch
4. Reverted back to stock, reflashed. Attempted the 1.0.1 version. Security Settings and SU say no root ("There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!")

Is ADB installed?
Did you disable Quickboot?
Did you enable USB Debugging?
Did the Patch give any errors when you ran it?
Just hard wiped my dev unit, flashed stock Jan20 and ran the Patch v1.0.2. The only thing I had happen was SuperSU tell me the su binary needed to be updated. I am curious as you mention trying to install SuperSU, it's preinstalled by the Patch and should not have to be installed by the user.

I did all of that according to your instructions and didn't get any errors. Decided to wipe and return to stock, but got an error during flashing (status bar went to 100% really quick and an error popped up around 13 seconds). Watch won't respond to anything including plugging it into a wall charger. Will try with another computer to see if that helps, and then try pulling the battery if that doesn't work. Any advice to unbrick?

Those errors are really important. Knowing what the error and what color the was was tells me a lot of things. As far as the watch being unresponsive, battery pull or wait a few hours for the battery to die. If you don't want ot void the warranty I suggest waiting for the battery to die.
Something is not right then because if SuperSU (or any file file that matter) was not installed, the script would have given an error.
EDIT:
I don't want to seem like I'm not trying to help but I run the script 20-30 times before a release and use it about 10-15 times a day on a regular basis. In fact I use a slightly modified version to cut down on dev time.

Sounds good! SuperSU was installed, it just said the binaries weren't installed. I took off the screw covers for the waterproofing warranty, but one of the screws was stripped, so I think I'm out of luck...the watch is off so I don't think the battery will even drain. I guess it is time to see what Omate customer service is made of.

Unless you pull the battery, the watch may appear to be off but stuck on bootloader mode. It's happened to me a couple times as well.
If yours is anything like mine, the placement screws are better than the ones in the TS.

Thanks for all the help! I'll just wait until tomorrow to see if the watch dies on me and see what Omate has to say. Really appreciate the quick responses!
I just flashed back to stock, what next is needed?
Following Lokifish's very helpful video, I have finally succeeded in flashing back to stock. Do I need now to do a security patch, or was that included in the stock file I'd have used? Also, how might I obtain some of the useful additions that Loki installed in Imperium, working from stock?
Thanks for all your help!

If you flashed back to stock then none of the improvements listed in the OP will be found on your device. Stock is exactly that, stock with no changes at all.
Except for some build.prop edits, removing preinstalled apps like FB and a different launcher, there is no difference between the patch and the ROM. I in fact use a slightly modified version of the Patch myself to build the test builds of the ROM.

I am not sure if I understood. Weren't there some security issues you helped address,( before Imperium), that were recommended to add to the stock rom?
Are you saying if I do this patch, I will basically have the Rom plus some adjustments? Are these security related or just improvements, tweaks and some helpful programs? Either way, I think I will prefer this to the basic stock. (I took your reply to suggest there might be no need to do the patch, that it is useful to you but not so necessary...)
Tom
Oh, by the way, for us true newbies, it might be helpful to offer some advice how best to negotiate the downloads at host-dev... I found myself in a hellish loop of websites offering that I join for free but then never giving a way to get past the "upgrade to premium" offers. In the end, I downloaded iLivid download manager and got it to work.

I successfully downloaded the patch. I was downloading apps and after downloading cal from the Omate store, it froze. I cannot shut the phone off. Neither button. Touch screen unresponsive. Is there any other way to reboot things than to take the battery out? Any reset pin hole or such?

Omate TS slow and built-in memory full
Hi all, hopefully this time I am posting in the right place. After flashing the patch my TS seems to be slower and seems to ignore storing things on the sd card. The TS memory now has only 228mb free and the SD card is all free (this is set up as the default storage). Has anybody come across a similar situation (TS slow and memory full) and how could I overcome that? Many thanks in advance (please be patient, I am not an expert)!

Custom ROM anyone? Or even Kernel? Please share any mods/mod trials...

I've been waiting for a custom ROM, haven't quite learned to make one myself. I've tried finding a compatible Xposed with no luck. The only things I have been able to do are debloat and add Viper/Dolby sound mods that added volume boosts. Please feel free to add any trials and errors you guys have had trying to mod this phone here.

There are plenty of tutorials for making your own rom and kerenel. There are plenty in xda university and an excellent one by my colleague jackeagle, if you want something device specific then it maybe better to add the phone title in your op rather than just adding a tag

LG Aristo
No ROMs, no real mods and the only progress we have towards a kernel is KyleBryant's work delivering us the kernel source itself.

Hey, just so you guys know, Substratum works once you're rooted. Just go to the Play Store and download the Substratum app along with a theme of your liking. I'll post some screenshots of my Aristo all theme translucent.

I ended up breaking my status bar so now when I hit the settings button from the pull down, it activated gps instead.
MODS
Changed BootAnimation .zip to Cyanogenmod version
Added Viper4Divine FX + DivineEQ + Dolby Atmos
Apps Added into system:
AdAway
Camera FV-5
ES File Explorer
EvolveSMS
FlySo
GhostKik
Instagram
Kik
NovaLauncher
PowerManager
Pulsar+
Removed from system:
All LG Home Apps (FIRST replace with Launcher of your choice E.G. Nova or ADW)
Lookout
All Google but Play Store, Play Services, Play Games, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and Drive.
All LG apps but SmartWorld (yes including Messaging)
And removed more but they were minor and cant remember...
DivineEQ is blank when loaded so far.
ES File Explorer clears its "history" every time i exit the app. But major settings stick.
I know its nothing major. If I knew Android Developing, I would create a custom rom.

As I said on the OP of that thread, check the specifications at the end.
Of course, it is for the MetroPCS version, I make it clear where it says:
Carrier: MetroPCS
And I also mention the twrp limitations and the fix.
Besides that, I am going to start building an slim version (very slim) and at the same time if anyone can provide me a T-mobile/Other Carrier Nandroid I can build slim versions of that for you guys.

That's when you boot into recovery and flash the Substratum.rescue zip and all good, plus, you should have a good nandroid to restore also. So nobody should be afraid to use Substratum, it's perfectly safe if you know your back up plans. Anyone has questions, just reply in this thread and I'll do my best to help anyone.

Yeah, I already had that panned out. My comment was a simple heads up about one of the possibilities.
snafu
starting over from scratch currently. everything was correct and working when i first rooted and progressively i messed up. i have no idea how it got so bad or why Ive put up with it for weeks now. i have several nandroid back-ups if anyone wants a headache. but i think my problem is deeper than just the ROM.
Laptop recognizes my LGMS210 as a LGMS550 when in recovery. Code 10 -broken drivers.... *re-flashed the recovery from fastboot [ADB version 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android] and laptop gave me access to internal and SD but only seeing 9.95g available (6g for sys? is that right)
Google play is broke af. Nothing will install (error -504) even after cleaning data/data. data/apps .. even after dalvik/cache wipe.... even after praying. Not even apps Ive never installed before. LG smart world ie themes,fonts,whatever gives install error.
cant even install apks i have on SD (error-package seems corrupt)
Magisk wont update from ver 2.*.* to ver 16. begins to work but alas error -1 ?
I still have root tho lol
no super su present
and i have xposed framework API 26 installed but i think when using magisk and xposed modules this whole cluster nut began.
android Easter egg wont even work. its stuck with a fish selected, cant change the food offering. and NO cat has ever came.
Boot-loops 3-4 times if not shutdown properly... ie rebooter app or terminal reboot. i changed the default MPCS boot animation so i can see if its looping or chooching. gets thermo-nuclear hot and eventually boots after 4-5 minutes.
i'm gonna go ahead and re-flash stock FW.
*on a side note i keep confusing my PC software like fastboot and adb for my gf's galaxy tab A. Caught a security error brick when i accidentally used its fastboot for something like to unlock bootloader.... i have way too many devices being worked on at once. eh, never a dull moment.

You're using the wrong recovery if it's still showing the ms550.
Drivers are universal inside of company devices. (LG for LG, Samsung for Samsung) so they don't conflict.
Adb and fastboot are both universal drivers and shouldn't matter for your device. (I'm using the same fastboot I installed for my Galaxy note 4 that I am for my aristo, my V10, my htc desire 610, and my uncle's v20)
Just do what you said and start fresh.
Unlock the bootloader.
Install the proper twrp and remove encryption.
Flash the stock boot partition and wipe data (this is sneakily pertinent if you're gonna use magisk)
Do not install system mods before using magisk.
After that, use twrp's file explorer to remove and stock apps that you won't need.

Remote Control config file Android 7.1 Roms

Can't find a definitive answer for this anywhere.
Where do the 7.1 or newer Roms active the remote control so it can bring the box out of standy and power down?
I know there is the remote.conf file in /system/etc on the 6 Roms which I have edited sucessfully before and you supposidly edit the remote.mouse1.tab in the 7.1 Roms but that doesn't seem to work. It doesn't even let me control the box once booted never mind power up and down which maybe suggests it is activated somewhere else first??
is it written into the kernel or boot loader perhaps.??
Please don't just suggest what I have already tried above. And yes I use a wireless usb keyboard/trackpad once booted but I'm talking about bringing the unit out of standby and powering down.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
I like my 7.1 Rom but having to disconnect/reconnect the power to boot it is just plain annoying.
did you ever figure it out, my remote does not work anymore after flashing poison rom over my boxes original rom, my power button works on the remote but thats it, have to use air mouse, has to be kernel or bootloader

i read but not sure if its true, it could be the kernel or something in boot, nougat rom changed things, so now i just use an air mouse
funny thing is if i flash back with twrp the original rom, the remote works again, but do not like the original rom.

Its definately got something to do with system, check out the installation method of mine and Whiteak's Poison Rom, that only modifies system partition and apparently after applying it the remote doesnt work properly

actually it's the bootloader and the remote.conf from \system\etc\ , if the bootloader will work, and if the correct remote.conf is put in system\etc\ the remote will work too for Power ON\OFF
oh, and i know how to add more remotes to a firmware (maximum in a firmware can be added 8 remotes) it's all about kernel

Hi, here the same problem. Upgraded the Android 6 firmware of my CSA93 (Amlogic S912, 3GB RAM, 32GB Flash) to the Stock T95Z Android 7.1 ROM (the base for the Poison ROM) and the remote has gone. I tried to copy the original remote.conf (from Android 6) into the new /system/etc folder (and also 5 other remote.conf files from the Internet with a restart each time), but no chance. It is probably not so easy as copying a file Any suggestions are highly appreciated. It is really annoying to have to turn on the device with the power switch each time.
Me too! Any news in this?

is there a difference between the two versions? I'm guessing verizon vs non-verizon like a lot of the other ones, but which is which?
Looks like there are 2 versions. For a new version is the side load OTA technique still how it is done ? This would be the first time I would be loading a new version on Android non OTA/locked bootloader.

Based on previous versions of android, the specific ones are typically the secondary versions and the standard unlock are the first copy. Edit: see below comments.
My Pixel 3 on Fi is updating now. I'll come back and edit this post to let you all know which sub-version gets installed.
Edit:
So Google P3 on Fi pulled the .019 version. Hope that helps.

i've sideloaded the newest of the 2 versions to my non verizon phone and it worked fine- only "issue" - i can see the build number at to top bar when i pull it down. Thats strange

I'm on the P3 with Verizon but Google device. Updating now as well 1337.4 Mb d/l.
just wanted to sideload the other version but its getting canceled imediatelly ....
OTA
Just finished installing the OTA update and for my factory unlocked (non Verizon) pixel 3 its .20
Installed 10 on my wife's P3 (my 3 XL is on Havoc OS, and I am not ready for a factory reset) using flash-all (without -w). Root went fine. Had to put AdAway into systemless, but otherwise no real issues yet. I did notice during the flash that it beings up a screen that looks like it is going to fail and force you into recovery (and ultimately a factory reset), but it just kept chugging along in command prompt and rebooted like that screen was meant to be. Only thing post install that is odd is that clearing recent apps (half flip up and swipe to the right and clear all) leaves a shell of the app that says it is not available if you click on it and goes away completely with a lock and unlock.
Just updated to 10 with flash-all and without -w. Procedure worked fine. This is my first experience with 10. And honestly Google like wtf, these gestures are horrible, unbelievable. How is it possible Apple does this million times better. So back on the good old 3 button layout.
Another thing: 10 feels even more laggy on the P3 than Pie. Anybody else experiencing this? Maybe I should try a new clean install... I am a die-hard Android fan but the experience on the 3 besides taking pictures with the great camera has just been disappointing from day 1 until now. Problem is, I don't see an alternative that keeps this form factor... The 7 pro is just to big.
Just Ota. Mine says 0.19
Bought from Google store unlocked
Force 2D GPU rendering
Force 2D GPU acceleration is gone from developer options. On .20 OTA. But there is now a game driver preferences menu.

Sweet! Just to make it crystal clear, you say this procedure works (credits to xda member Phil_Chambers) : (with magisk canary for now, I guess)
1-Download the 9.0.0 (PQ1A.181205.006, Dec 2018) file from https://developers.google.com/android/images
2-Unzip the contents of the zip into your ADB/Fasboot folder (I just leave my ADB folder on the desktop, windows 7). This is assuming you downloaded ADB/Fastboot program for Windows.
3-Right click and open the flash-all.bat file with a free program called Notepad++ and remove the last part of the text that says "-w" and SAVE FILE.
4-Remove the Edge sense module from Magisk on your phone if installed.
5-Make sure the phone has USB debugging enabled and USB cable plugged in with FILE TRANSFER mode turned on.
6-Run command in ADB/Fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
click on adb flash-all.bat [now that its modified with -w removed. If -w was not removed, the phone will be WIPED CLEAN!]
(phone will restart) Go back into ADB/Fasboot:
adb reboot bootloader
adb fastboot boot <insert_name_of_TWRP_image_here>.img
7-Once in TWRP, FLASH your TWRP.ZIP and restart into Recovery.
8-Flash Magisk, other stuff etc at this point.
There is no need to remove Magisk or Unzip the secondary file inside the OTA. I've done it without those steps and nothing was changed.
I did re-install the latest version of Edge sense in Magisk as he put out a new version that works with the latest DEC update.

Yes, can confirm. Worked for me. As I am not pleased with the performance I will do a clean one just to be sure.

I did a clean install with the factory ota images on a brand new P3. Super smooth! Plus, there's an option in 10 to go back to two- or three-button navigation instead of gestures
Been using for 24 hrs. The gestures are a bit choppy. Also it will not work with 3rd party launchers for the time being which sucks. The gestures don't really feel that smooth. When I use the back gesture and side menu they can get mixed up at times.

The 3 button navigation under accessibility options removes the ability for screen rotation by button
I just tried using flash.bat from the factory image (after removing the "-w") and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop....what on earth. I updated to the newest version every single time using that method but now it's screwed up....
For reference, previously the only thing I did was root with Magisk using TEMPORARY TWRP with Adaway. Nothing else. I have no idea why it isn't working. May need to go back to the August update...
Now it's saying in fastboot mode "no valid slot to boot". In terms of SDK Platform Tools, I'm using the newest ones that were from July 2019 (got it straight from their site yesterday).
EDIT: Flashed the August update back on my phone. Gonna stick with that for now since it's working fine anyways. Not in a rush to update to Android 10 or in general anyways.

#FAQ
1. What about my data after i install this update?
Ans: Your data is safe after installing the update. For more safety, you can backup your data as an additional safety measure.
2. Will this work on my bootloader unlocked device ?
Ans: No, it will not work with bootloader unlocked. You need to flash the Oreo stock rom to be able to flash this on your device.
3. Why my country name is not mentioned for updates ?
Ans: You may try Indian update zip file and if it doesn't work then try the Mexican one.

Definitely trying. Stock recovery was not spawning ADB, so I'm trying to boot TWRP live. It's been a while, and it's hanging on the TWRP page.

I tried TWRP (installed) didn't work.
I'll try returning to stock and sideloading tomorrow after work.
Ok, trying the stock way:
1) Reboot into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
2) Select boot into Recovery.
3) At "No Command" Screen, hold down Power and press Vol Up.
4) Load from SD card, or live dangerously like me and sideload via ADB (Minimal ADB and Fastboot seems to work for me)
Will update once the push is complete.
I just downloaded.
Gave "Motorola Update Services" storage permission.
Copied the file from the computer to the phone's internal storage.
Checked for updates
And voilá, there was the update.
I'm already running Pie.
Up and running here. Didn't like my original image, but after flushing data, it booted fine. It did say I no longer qualify for updates which seems to be a new thing with Motorola and Pie, but common across other devices too. Either way, it all seems to be working.

Did it work really..??
Do we need unlocked bootloader or will it work for all..
Currently running Stock Oreo Firmware locked Bootloader.
Trying to sideload via ADB, will post results after completion of process.
Hello!
Is there an .xml file for this update?
OR
Any proper guide for sideload method?
Thanks
OK! I found a guide for Oreo OTA sideload install.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/official-oreo-z2-play-t3784660
I guess for Pie it is the same.
Tried.
Didn't work.
Can anybody guess what I did wrong?

Did you follow the steps I posted earlier? What does the phone show for errors?
For those of you who were curious:
1) Software channel remained the same.
2) Dual sim in XT1710-09 seems to be working fine so far (haven't tested a second sim, but the sim statuses are showing for both card slots).
3) No issues with mods so far (Tried the battery pack and gamepad. Hasselblad, projector and speaker are not with me).
4) Build number is PPS29.133-30, Patch Level September 1, 2019.
My phone is in Canada, and the modem patch included works fine as far as I've seen. I haven't fully tested the bluetooth stability yet to see if it's working better than before. Android Auto is working great though.
My smartphone Model name is XT-1710-10, Dual SIM.
I was successfully able to sideload the Update, with the command
"adb sideload Blur_Version.29.11.30.albus.retail.en.US.zip".
It took around 15 to 18 mins for the sideload process to complete, later the phone restarted and showed the usual Moto loading screen for another 12mins or so, for a moment i thought it was stuck, but no, it successfully completed the update process.
Everything is functioning as usual, i noticed that the placement of signal bar, wifi icons, and battery icons on the top right corner of the screen seem to be not proper.
Same is the case with the arrangement of signal and wifi icons on top right portion inside notification drop down menu, seems to be too close to the screen edge.
Additional features I saw after the update are, 3 finger screenshot, Screenshot editor, Media controls provision inside 'Moto Actions'; Attentive display inside 'Moto display'.
Also the addition of "Digital Wellbeing" inside settings Menu.

It took around 3hrs for me to solve the problem, I am still not clear, what was I doing wrong.
What worked for me somehow was... I properly uninstalled the old ADB installations first vis control panel and then downloaded the latest version of adb i.e adb-setup-1.4.6.exe, and repeated the normal procedure of adb sideload, this time it worked.
I couldn't find an option to enable Android Pie navigation gestures, even in System>Gestures, there is no option.
Do existing TWRP and Magisk root work?
Thanks to everyone who replied with advices :good:
It is my first try to Sidload OTA.
I found out that, I needed the latest OPS27.76-12-25-22/23 stock firmware and I was using OPS27.76-12-25-13.
I fastbooted to the latest but, it didn't work again and I think the reason is that my device is XT1710-11 (Chinese), though I have fastbooted it to RETEU version (Modems preserved) and works fine.
If my guess is correct, that means I need to wait for the fastboot version for Pie

Get the firmware you need from that link and then fastboot flash it to your device.
But make sure if this OTA Pie is for your device.

I too have an XT1710-09 (Europe, RETEU software channel). Any idea if this firmware will work for me? Thanks!
