Question - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
is there nobody out ( @Rajeev, @Pandemic, @niaboc79 ...) for cooking a simple non-customized Stock D6503 23.4.A.1.232 flashable ROM
which is deodexed, pre-rooted and with Super User Mod (patched services.jar) inside???
All stock ROMs 232 are modified the more the less by its builder.
But i just want a clean one with the things mentioned above.
Creating a flashable ROM with PRFcreator will do the trick, but these ROMs aren´t deodexed and have no Super User Mod inside.
So come on guys...

deodexing your rom is pretty easy, I wrote a short guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63302497&postcount=2
as for patching system.jar , if you use xposed it can be done easily using one of the adds
this way you can stay up to date with a deodexed rom

If there's such a demand for it perhaps you could make this for others?

i tried it but i have no success in deodexing (tried it about 1 day with different methods) - after flashing the deodex_patch.zip with the deodexed files inside i always stuck in bootloop.

I'd love to do this, but I have a super ****ty connection and it would take me forever to upload, not to mention connection dropping completely.
Any suggestions for and app that will allow me to upload somewhere and resume on connection drop ? will dropbox work, or the mega app ?

Re-odex?

I haven't found any useful methods to odex a rom while it is not already flashed on the phone. I was hoping that somebody could help or link me to a guide.
I don't want a flashable zip to odex, I want to release a seperate odexed version of my rom.
I remember back on EC05, tanimn created a script to do re-odex. Don't remember how it works, I'll try and find a link

This one?
Can I ask why? The only difference I've seen between Odexed and Deodexed ROMs is initial startup time. And there might be a reason most ROM cooks don't provide Odexed versions.

See here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/. Most roms are made deodexed since they can be themed and the apk's can be modified.
I should read more *embarrassed*.

[MOD] Re-Odex your rom

Hi,
This is not my work but I want to share it, the original thread is here:
[SCRIPT TO ODEX] Universal Odex Script Version 6.3 (10-09-2013)(MM-dd-yyyy)
I was on stock rom so Odexed and I flashed a custom Deoxeded rom (for some features and mods)... But I loose the smoothess of my stock rom..., some kind of lags and stutters scrolling in settings, openning an app the transition animation is not smooth, etc... And by searching on the Android Development and Hacking forum I found this thread above...
I had a doubt about the real improvement... But who knows? Nandroid backup, I follow the guide and... My phone is smooth as before, apps open faster, like on stock! All the mods flashed before works, no bootloop, no force closes, all is fine
BUT there is always a but, you're custom Deodexed rom is now Odexed, nothing dramatic but good bye the mods for Deodexed rom (bootloop) so before flashing a mode make sure it's for Odexed rom...
You can flash your favorite Deoxeded rom, flash some mods and then Odex your rom, you'll keep your mods (at least for me).
For Deoxeded... Reflash your rom or a backup (Deoxeded).
Download the attached file.
Place it on your sdcard.
Reboot in recovery and in the first place make a Nandroid backup then flash the zip in recovery and reboot.
You'll see that the app Script Manager was installed, open it then type (press enter after each line):
su
dexo -all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A line will appear then type "Yes" and press enter, the procedure will start, maybe you'll have some Force Closes, it's normal then the phone will reboot... and enjoy!
For more details about what exactly does the script, a better explanation, etc... Take a look to the original thread.
Don't odex the Data app or you'll need to reinstall your paid apps (and before delete the .dex files), you'll encouter a lot of force closes, etc...
I tested on LG rom only...
I hope this will help

Hi,
It depends of the mods?
Generally, use your mods then Odex your rom, there is a chance that after Odexed your rom you can't properly apply other mods...
I think the OP is clear...:

At Odexed Rom doesn't work. When deleting SemcSettting.odex the "SETTING" icon in applications disappears.
All files in system/framework need to be either odexed or deodexed (unlike system/app which can have a mix). If you haven't deodexed all files in framework then you must have an odex version for this, which we don't, so deodexed only (deleting odex files doesn't work as deodexing is merging the two files not just deleting one of them)

[PORT][6.0.1][G900F or N5 thunderbolt]Contacts, Tasks, And Apps Edge Panel

Introduction
"This mod will let you add contacts, tasks, and apps edge panel from S7 on your non edge/edge+ Samsung device. (On Marshmallow Firmware)." - cited from jovy23.
See screenshots attached. It only works on deodexed ROMs. As you are modifying system files, this could lead to bootloops so please make a full backup before.
Download the files according to your current rom. Most of the mods are from alexndr's devbase, my main rom due to its speed, stability, and great atmosphere in the thread. I will add more according to requests and my personal use.
Downloads
- Thunderbolt N5 Pure Rom : mega v1.2 (G900F and G900W8)
- CPE2 : mega v1.1
- CPD7 : mega (works also on CPB8 according to post n16) v1.1
Installation
Reminder : you need a deodexed rom for it to work
- Backup your partitions. This mods the framework and can induce bootloops.
- Download the linked files, and flash them (e.g. using TWRP or flashfire)
- Reboot and the edge screen can be seen on the right of the screen!
- If you want to be able to download additional edge apps from the Galaxy Store, you will need to edit the file /System/build.prop, and replace "ro.product.model=SM-G900F" by "ro.product.model=SM-G935F", then reboot
Bugs
Lightning shows in options, but isn't active
People edge error
Change log
1.1 : flashable zip
1.0 : initial release
Credits
All credits to @jovy23 who has written an incredibly detailed guide. I have simply applied his guide to the S5. Random pictures from Google, given that it is a stock ported app

Because of different frameworks (this is for G900F CPD7)

Introduction
I have tested it only on a deodexed CPD7 rom for SM-G900F. It could work on other roms or variants, but I can't guarantee it. It should only work on deodexed ROMs. As you are modifying system files, this could lead to bootloops so please make a full backup before.
Installation
- To install, download all linked files, extract them, and copy them with root access to your /system/.
You will either need to set the right permissions, or use File Explorer to copy the files. This app is free, including its root addon, and automatically sets the permissions.
- Reboot and the edge screen can be seen on the right of the screen!
- If you want to be able to download additional edge apps from the Galaxy Store, you will need to edit the file /System/build.prop, and replace "ro.product.model=SM-G900F" by "ro.product.model=SM-G935F", then reboot

Thanks! On which devbase did you test it? CPD7 also?
I wonder if the framework changes a lot between 6.0.1 versions, therefore if I need to remake the mod for each devbase (e.g. CPE1)... Also for me the people stripe does not work. I am still trying to find a way to make it work.

If you provide me with a copy of the following files, I can make it for you. Also please give me your rom version (ex: G900FXXU1CPD7). I think that the fact that the rom works or not should depend on the rom version (framework version) and not on the phone model.
I need :
- floating feature.xml from the folder \system\etc
- services.jar and framework.jar from the folder \system\framework
Also it will only work if you are using a deodexed rom

I'm sorry, your rom is not deodexed so it can't be modded with this method.
For deodexed rom, there is a file within the framework.jar that contains the files that need to be modified (classes.dex). In odexed rom, such as yours, the classes.dex files are deleted and replaced by odex files that are not accessible according to my current knowledge.
v1.1 update
Changes from 1.1:
- flashable zips for easier installation
- available both for CPD7 and CPE2
- people strip working (probably)
Downloads :
- CPE2 v1.1 : mega
- CPD7 v1.1 : mega

Hello there I also have a G900W8 device and believe that my rom is deodexed when I go into framework.jar I see the classes.dex file. If I was to provide you all three would you be able to make a version that is compatible? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I added the links to the rom used for the mod in the first post. It is alexndr's rom, my personal favorite and frequently updated. He is also very helpful in his thread. I used his roms to create the mod.
I'm waiting for the mod for the G900W8 on Thunderbolt Rom as well. Looking forward to it. Thanks in advance.

Z2 Custom ROM and apps (HELP) :)

Soo i have Z2 with stock rom,i now want to root it and install some custom rom....I need some advice whats the best right now custom rom with all features (Z2 camera mod tweaks,battery tweaks,audio boost...)
And i would like to have different UI i am bored of stock android And that have no bugs
I never rooted and all that more help the better What i need to do to get custom rom and all that
It's best to do some searches, get an idea of how to to root, what ROMs and mods there are. Then look for threads regarding what interests you and ask questions there.
Bear in mind there's less development now for the Z2.
Good luck

First of all you need to install latest official MM build, I assume you've alredy done that. So next step for root and recovery is in this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/tool-rooting-23-5-1-291-supersu-t3437280.When you get root and recovery you need to backup your TA partition bcs of DRM keys(use google about that). Guide is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../tutorial-backup-ta-partition-to-drm-t2234627 After that go to flashtool and follow process for unlocking bootloader. Now you can install custom kernel too. Only active thread with developers is https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235951 and its very confusing but subscribe there and follow thread. I personally use stock rom with mods without xposed, and everything i have written you is from my personal experience about 2 month ago. So good luck, and if I helped you press thanks
Android 6.0.1 is on my Z2 D6503 and I know to root and unlock bootloader thats easy,but i need to know what to install after that ?
Which ROM is best optimized with most features(audio boost,battery life optimized,camera optimized) or i need separatly to install this audio boosts,flashlight boos,camera optimized apk and all that ?
If there is no best say at least some good ROMs with these features i said and that i can install features if ROM doesnt have it ?

I installed all mod's manually on my stock MM, but you can find something like this is best option (my opinion) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-kryptonian-rom-awesomeness-v1-t3484534
Can this ROM support this mods on xda for cam,audio,flashlight ? Or it needs to uptade or change some first ?
Only it is stock android look is there something to install some mod to change look ?
And can i just root and unlock bootloader and install this mods for camera,audio and all that?

Every Stock modified rom supports any mod that you mentioned above ( some have it already pre-installed).
If you want to change the look on stock rom install xposed or flash mods like Pixel mod..
You dont need UB to install any mods, UB only to install Custom Roms like CM,Paranoid....

Yes you can
For looks some of them need debloat check before flashing it\
Camera audio mods, display mod, quick charge all can be flashed just with root and recovery.
Assuming your rom is Stock
