Exactly. Rooting has been asked so many times.
And about the battery life. For me lollipop is a complete disaster, kitkat is better.

If you can't work the search, the guides to root might be too complicated.

Try the latest .200/.232. they're much improved when it comes to battery life.

You can try this for root.

Sorry for your loss mate let it all go,talking with someone will help you lot mate ,helped me lot when my best buddy from like 4 years old,who was/is like my own brother died few years ago due to appendicitis :/
on-topic,yeah lot of times I use pc companions repair button to go back to stock rom whenever I screw up with roms.Tho now I don't use it as it shows 0.62 update in pc companion.Anyway if used SETool2 method to unlock bl we can use pc companion without any problem(tested and works for me).As I heard if used Sony official method you cannot,but re-locking bl again and you can.Not sure about S1tool method-someone need to confirm about this.

Rom Manager

Rom Manager is telling me there's a update for my recovery. Just wondering if anyone has updated it and if it's having any issues ? Thanks
No one ?
It's kind of difficult to answer a question when the question lacks pertinent details.

Seems like it would be pretty simple to answer with the info I provided. Open rom manager and if it doesnt say there's a update the your on the latest version and if thats the case how's it working for you ? Thanks for not providing any pertinent info. on the question that was asked.

Not using rom manager although i have pro from my DX days. Nor did I upgrade to the latest version. I havent seen a changelog of whats included in the latest version so I dont know whats new. The prior version works without a hiccup, as all cwm versions have for me. No reason to fix what isnt broken so I havent upgraded. I might download the newest touch version and give it a shot though, if I can find some spare time this evening. If I do ill post up some results and let you know how it goes.

Believe it or not, not everyone uses rom manager or CWM. The pertinent info that you could have provided would have been the version of CEWM that you are currently on and the version that out would have upgraded you to. In this regard, you'd be able to find out of the update were a step forward, a step back, our inconsequential.

You are correct. My apologies to the OP- I replied while dealing with another situation and vented my frustration inappropriately. The hypocrisy of my closing remark was painfully obvious and has now been edited to be constructive.

You want a phone with poor call quality? Go ahead and buy it.
When I buy a phone it's a phone first of all the come the extras.
If you use a headset it may not be a problem
Check Oppo R819.

Just 4 you to know it's will be extremely expensive to order it from amazon or any other store and I will pay more fees to get it in egypt
so it will be about 2400 egyptian pounds and no warranty and will not give me the gaming quality i want

yes or no

my app will launch, before that ,I want to know the effective, So here, I wanna do a very simple experiment. the rule is very simple, then you just answer 'yes' or 'no'. then you ask a question and the next person answers 'yes' or 'no' and ask a question for the next and so forth.
Do you launch your App?

Wrong question type[emoji107]
But the answer is : run an operating system other than Android (Firefox OS for me)
Do you think that Xposed is probably the most looked up project on XDA ???

Unlocking bootloader risks?

Hello
I was about to unlock my z2's bootloader but a friend of mine told me that some of the camera firmware will be lost causing camera quality to be dropped especially in low light shooting
Is that true?
What are the risks of unlocking besides losing warranty?
Thanks in advance
Loosing DRM features such as BionX, X-Reality, etc...
But however, there's something called DRM fix which you can restore most of the features back as long as you are on stock based ROMs.

Unlocking bootloader allow you to access a much vast amount of tools and it speed up processes that usually take a very complex procedure to carry out when bootloader is locked.
