I'm myself on existenz. And ll say it's the best rom for z2. Battery life is better than stock. Speed better than stock. More features than stock.
Also install xposed to add more functionality to your phone

[Step-by-step] How to install eXistenz ROM on your Z2
Okay. So, this is for Xperia Z2 MM .291 only. If you have a rooted device then follow the steps but if you dont have root and recovery on your phone then first get rooted from here :- ROOT
Now, for installing eXistenZ Rom follow these steps :-
1. Download eXistenZ v5.0.1 from here and the latest update (which is v5.6.5 for now. Check for updates here) From here -> Latest Update <-
You dont need to have all the updates because all the features of previous updates will be included in the newer updates.
2.After downloading these two files download Bootloop fix(from here) and baseband patch for z2 (from here)
3. After Downloading these 4 files, place them in your SD card.
4. Now go to Recovery. select install and then select Existenz v 5.0.1 (the first file we downloaded). after that install again and the latest update i.e v5.6.5 (the second file we downloaded). And now reboot your device.
5. wait for 10 mins. There is a fair chance you'll get a bootloop i.e your phone will be stucked on xperia screen. THen force shut down your phone ( force shut down by pressing a little button which is on the left hand side of sim tray for 3 secs. ) and go to recovery AND flash bootloop fix (the third file we downloaded). and reboot your device.
6. the first boot may take time but this will work. but now you will notice that you wont have any signal. so for that do to recovery again and flash baseband patch (the fourth file we downloaded). and just reboot.
7. enjoy. you have working eXistenZ rom on your phone.
Please Ask If you have any query.
P.S.: NONE OF THEM IS MY WORK. I'M JUST SHARING THIS METHOS FOR THOSE PEOPLE FACING PROBLEMS INSTALLING THE EXISTENZ ROM.

whenever you have bootloop on your device on this rom flash the bootloop fix
and whenever no signals flash the baseband patch.
and yes when you flash the baseband patch, it takes time to boot like 10-15mins.
so now you are rooted.
install xposed installer and then the android-n-ify to get nougat like notifications.
greenify for more battery.
and enjoy.
if you want an app for somthing specific ask me.

Hello, I just updated my SGS2 to 4.0.3 and just finished flashing it, now I want to install a theme and these are the instructions:
REQUIREMENTS:
- U need rom without any themes or mods install, otherwise u will end up in bootloop
- Don't flash it even over my CWM packages, bootloop
- Make a backup just in case before flashing
- If u are installing mods from 2nd post, use only with name UNIVERSAL. CWM packages over universal theme will take u to bootloop again
- Uninstall JKAY deluxe settings app (when u flash theme, latest version will be installed)
- If u have any other mods (like phone with no inc. record.full pic), remove it. U will install it latter
- REMOVE ALL MODs PLEASE. U WILL INSTALL THEM ALL, LATTER
- if u have older version of JKAY APP (JkayDeluxeSettings), please uninstall
- Patience, installation is just little bit longer
-If u still got bootloops, but ur buttons are litenin, take out battery, put it back, power ur phone. Now u should not have any more bootloops and ur theme will be installed correctly
- Download the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file from the download section below and DO NOT unzip it
- Copy the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file to your INTERNAL SD card
- Boot your phone into CWM (hold Vol Up, Home & Power Button)
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Select 'Install ZIP from SD Card'
- Select 'Choose Zip from SD Card'
- Then select the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file you downloaded
- Reboot
- After this you only have to enjoy
The ones I put in BOLD are the ones I am concerned about, because I just finished flashing my phone, does this mean I cant do it, or do NOT flash after installing the theme? And as for mods what type of mods, like Rom Manager SuperSU and Titanium Backup? Just wondering and all because I am new to this, I had installed a nice theme a while back but it was taken off when I updated to 4.0.3, thanks!
If you just flashed stock ICS (not a custom ROM) then you're fine. That would have removed all mods you had anyways.

That is a CF-Root kernel...
But anyways, try booting to recovery and doing a full wipe. (that may remove the theme you just tried to flash, but I would think you'd rather have a functioning phone...)

Question... you said above you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5". (which is a kernel, not a firmware or ROM)
Did you operate the phone in between doing that and attempting to flash the theme?
What version of 4.0.3 did you flash before you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5"? Or did you?

Yes I was using my phone testing the new ICS and setting up all my apps and stuff since it was all unorganized then I wanted a theme because the base theme sucks so I downloaded this: https://sites.google.com/site/vertumusworld/downloads/Themes/Ice-Cream-Sandwich-Domination I downloaded the very first one mirror 1 after I had the theme I was going to flash my phone so I Googled my phone numbers I had XXLPS so I found a download and flashed it from that and it was working fine rooted then I went to install the theme now it just bootloops :/
OH!!! I just found a restore option from earlier today when I backed up everything with Titanium Backup right before I installed the mod, it is restoring now I hope that works and I wont install any themes LOL not risking this again lets see if it works!
EDIT: Okay I managed to get my phone back to around January and its all working just missing some apps and stuff but now I cant upgrade via Kies? So im just going to do a full wipe now and then upgrade then restore all apps with Titanium Backup, thanks for everything though

Is your bootloader unlocked at the moment?
It should work as lordmanhattan said.
Flash boot.img from carbon
Flash carbon from recovery.
You could start over and flash new ftf then do the above instructions...

yes bootloader is unlocked
sorry i know im being tedious but just to re check ...
1. flash ftf (my zu is from HK so the latest is .681 ftf)
2. then fash the boot.img from carbon
3. then flash carbon onto my phone
in this order you reckon it would fix my problem?
(going ahead and giving it a try anyways in the above order lets see if it pans out)

As you seem to be having issues I would go back to stock and satrt again, and the steps above should do just that for you. I would boot up after the first step just to check that everything is upto speed on the phone.
I wouldn't worry about getting a HK firmware, just use any of the unbranded/generic US/EU 757 FTFs
I cant see why it didn't work straight from PAC , hell the kernel in Carbon boots the latest PAC just fine

ok bud tired it now the problem is the dam phone keeps going into recovery boots and gets stuck on sony and then reboots and goes into recovery any advice!!!
Flash a stock tft with flashtool in flashmode and it should work again.
Anyways flashing the kernel with the boot.img in fastboot mode should work.
Have tried that flashed the latest ftf. Then used the root guide didn't work used the boot.img from carbon from pac rom. Still just reboots , my issue is I want a custom rom cos I'm happier with a custom rom, so I get root on the stock. But I can't seem to load a custom rom, first it was midway boot now it's recovery reboots , I want a custom rom any advice .

Do it like this:
- flash boot.img (flashtool: fastboot mode)
- wipe cache/dalvik cache (CWM Recovery)
- flash the ROM[.zip] (CWM Recovery)
- flash the GAPPS[.zip] (CWM Recovery)
- reboot
That should work.
I mean flashed ftf , fastbooted boot.img from carbon, had recovery reboots (meaning the phone would boot up stuck on Sony logo and then reboot into recovery ) then tried pac rom boot.img no help, infact flashed ftf cleard cache and data and then flashed boot.img flashed rom , had same recovery issue, then tried a full wipe, (ofcourse flashed ftf again) I mean went into mount storage and formated cache data system etc etc, now I'm really baffeld I have tried everything I find myself getting everything to work except putting the custom rom someone help

You forgot to flash the rom itself. Just flashing the kernel (boot.img) doesn't to anything instead of flashing
the kernel. You need to flash the ROM to have working Operation System. That's why just the logo shows
up and goes into recovery. Put the ROM (the .zip file of the rom) on your SD Card and go into recovery
and go to "install .zip" and choose your file. After that the ROM should be loading after Boot Logo. Don't forget
to flash the GAPPS after flashing rom.
Pacman Rom: www.blownco.com/index.php/doc_download/13688-pac-togari-4-3-build-1-20131214-044914

ok not so clear on what you are asking but here goes
had a c6802 cracked the screen (using carbon rom on it loved it) bought a c6833 wanted to try pac rom put it on realized my batt consumption is way too high so tried to switch back to carbon now, while doing so i flashed carbon rom Double tap to wake and carbon kernel, here started the spiral, first few hours couldn get any thing to work read up looked up a few of the forum, and ftf fashed the generic hk rom things got ok, but then root was the issue so found out the root method, fastboot .img and flash cmw supersu.zip, all fine and dandy didnt mess with it in anyway
since then as i have explained im gettin a recovery loop even when i flash the stock rom (cmw flash not ftf) so now i have the latest stock rom with root but i have sony's stock i want a rock in which i can add a menu button and change the dip and everything doesnt crash if you know what i mean....

maybe the solution for you would be too install xposed framework which gives you the features you want. It allows your to "modify" your stock rom like the advanced power button menu, editing the navigation and status bar and stuff like that.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
you obviously need ROOT for this.

First, pull the battery. Now what version of KitKat was installed on you device before you tried to flash a rom on your device? Next what rom are you trying to flash on the device ? Did you try and install the recovery that comes with the rom manager ? It is way out of date !!! Here is my thread read through it first http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now reinstall battery then boot into download mode and odin flash the rom you want. Which should be done after you have made a copy of your stock rooted OS. That way you have a backup in case something goes wrong !!!

OK your almost there, after you reinstall the battery. Press the power button, volume down, and menu button at the same time. A new screen will come up then press the volume up button only, now you are in download mode. ( some people call it odin mode it's the place where you flash/install roms in the device) Next bring up odin on your PC then then connect your device via the charging cable. Now click on PDA then open the OS you want flash. Then don't touch anything else and click start.
That was fast and dirty just go back to the thread for more info. Enjoy !!!

Here is the link for CM12 that is not a nightly build http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375 and here is the link to the zip file for your device https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/temasek/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - HLTESPR/CM12 just click download place the zip on your sd card, wipe system, wipe cache and delvik cache and flash through your recovery. ( make sure you have a backup of your stock rooted rom first ) Remember it is CM 12 some features may not work. But if your a CM fan this is the best one out there.
Here is the link to add in the Google apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 I would go with the MINI MODULAR PACKAGE just click on Basketbuild then click on download for the zip file. Place on sd card wipe cache and delvik cache then install the zip file this will give you the basic Google apps. But you can always go with the full Google package that gives you a lot of junk you won't use, which kinda defeats the purpose . Enjoy !!!

Ya, it does that sometimes. You can do a quick scan with your anti virus program. But most of the time that's normal, because your PC does not recognize the program as something you normally use. I use odin v 1.85 it is a little older but very stable here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo this is my mega site no virus there.
HI i am new to this thread and I have some serious issue with gapps for cm12.1 OK to my problem...
I successfully flashed cm12.1 nightly latest ver. and have downloaded gapps(arm,5.1,nano) I am using twrp recovery flashed my ROM and gapps successfully and after rebooting I get many errors com.gapps , play services and many more errors like that but whenever I flash my ROM without installing gapps it works fine(with no play sgoogle play services etc) plz help me I am in serious trouble... My phone is s4 non lte plz help
Sounds like you might be trying to use Open Gapps. The Official CM12.1 thread for your phone suggested the TK Gapps found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347 - Either mini or micro. They are a bit out dated, but they should work and you can just update once everything is set up.
Not working
Sorry friend it dosent work for me as i had already tried tk gapps and open gapps and pa today but i don know what the problem is just flashed the rom properly 12.1 cm nightly latest its not my first time though..
thx
maybe some one could seriously help me
Could be the recovery you are using. Are you wiping /system partition when reflashing CM + Gapps? You might also look into one of the optimized builds of CM, such as GearCM as well.
yes I am wiping dalvik and everything before flashing the gapps and rom and also I had seen many vids on YouTube regarding cm12.1 on s4 i9500 and downloaded from the YouTube link provided and follow the same procedure as they do but unfortunately I messed up don't know why.....
oh and one thing can you tell me is there any harm if I flash my phone multiple times... any storage disk issues.. like slowing and any ram issues??
i hope this help you:
download the latest cm12.1 for s4
and flash latest twrp recovery for this device
now go to google and search for "open gapps"
and select the open gapps project then
select "arm" and "5.1" and "pico" and download it
then go to device recovery and advanced wipe to system, cache, data and dalvik
and flash the cm first then flash the opengapps good luck

Don't worry flashing roms is very simple process it is only remove files and copy new files
if you flash a new rom even more than 1000 time your device will not be bricked
good luck

As i said installing rom for android device doesn't effect on the device performance
and the never cause any slowing for disks except if the rom you installed was too bad this is another problem
however, don't worry if your device bricked or any else just power it off and boot to download mode then
flash the latest lolllipop 5.0 stock tar.md5 rom and every thing will be ok!
remember DON'T WORRY

Instructions For Installing Pie Roms
Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To InstallNote8 SM-N950U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again
Download
N950USQS8DVB1_SAFESTRAP.7z
Google_Pixel_Experience_Pie_8_Seriers.zip
Flash after you flash the system image above with a data wipe
After setup you need to set google dialer as default call app
Install Instructions Safestrap Method New Install Or Base Update
Make Sure The Latest Samsung Drivers Are Installed. They Can Be Found Here
You Must have safestrap installed to get safestrap follow the guide located below
Root And Safestrap For Note8 Up To V7 Bootloaders
1. If on V6 bootloaders before starting the process. If on V6 Pie rom reboot to download and flash the BL_N950USQS8DTG3_LEAVE_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5 then reboot this will put you on V8 bootloaders before starting
2. Copy SYSTEM_****.img to your internal sdcard. Reboot to safestrap In Safestrap choose install then choose select storage and select internal storage click ok then at bottom choose install image and choose SYSTEM_****.img then select flash to system image then swipe to flash. You can flash any mod zips at this time after you flash system image. Then in wipe tab chose wipe then advance wipe then wipe data
3. To leave safestrap reboot to bootloader or download from reboot tab.
4. In odin load BL_N950USQS7DTE5.tar.md5 in BL slot and
HOME_CSC_OYN_N950U_CACHE.tar.md5 in CSC slot flash phone will reboot to recovery and wipe cache then reboot
Instructions To Enter And Exit Safestrap After Initial Install. To Flash A Zip And Etc.
1. To enter safetrap flash the BL_RNTER_SAFESTRAP_N950UDTE5_V7.tar.md5 in BL Slot in odin phone will boot too safestrap sometimes it may take a minute to do so
2. To leave safestrap reboot to download from safestrap reboot menu
3. Use modded Odin and load BL_LEAVE_SAFESTRAP_N950UDTE5_V7.tar.md5 In BL Slot

Mod Zips
SM_N950U_Mods_Safestrap_PIE.zip This will add call recording and a few other features to your csc
View attachment Adaway_Blocking_No_Root_Pie.zip
Install zip in safestrap
boot phone back up to system
you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking
too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work
too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot
what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage
Asking for clarity on the 80% bug. Is that bug only present if you are rooting the device? Is that a specific partition that gets modified that causes that bug that is only modified during the root process? Does this method without rooting the device also have the 80% bug with it?
Kind regards,
Cyrano
It's not a bug

Been having issues with the N950USQS7DTA5_SAFESTRAP.rar filed in post #1. Doesn't unrar or unzip. Maybe it's just on my end but has anyone successfully used and accessed this file? I have tried downloading it twice to no avail.
EDIT: Looks like changing the version of 7zip I was initially using (version 19) to an older one (version 16) did the trick. No more unrar unzip issues.
What if you are already on the latest bootloader ? Also will I then be able to install an adbocker ?

Once you get safestrap installed you can start on number 2 in the directions but its fine to do step 1 even if you are on latest bootloader. I do have an adblock for non rooted pie rom

Go to software information in setting it will show you
<strikethrough>If on rooted nougat rom, wanting to go to pie from here, need to wipe / factory reset first before ODIN step? </strikethrough>
Actually, please confirm since I was running stock pie on BL7, and now I am on rooted nougat, all I need to do is reboot to safestrap, and wipe data / factory reset and then flash the DTA5_system.img .
Thanks for all this ... miss the flashing days.

If you want root you have to use the rooted nougat rom in the root thread. This rom is not rooted but still has safestrap so you can still flash mod zips and delete system apps. So why do you need to disable knox? I mean on this rom you could delete it if you want but that will break Samsung pay and pass

I tried this rom. Removed samsung camera pie app, install a nougat camera app which i like but it won't work, which for me is deal breaker on this pie rom. The camera is always top priority feature on phone these days.
There's something very very special about camera app that samsung want to control it and its quality and we can never revert back to its original quality in android 7.1.1 even with some "hacking" like this. why make things so hard then i will make thing hard to buy you
Thank you for your work but i am afraid i use samsung phone again
