[Q] [q] xperia s - date sync problem

Hi guys,
I'm having some troubles with my Xperia S and CM11 or PA.
When I restart my device it shows me the date of 08 february 1972, but I checked and today is 10 May 2014 .
So for this issue some apps (like whatsapp, gplay services, hangout...) don't run immediately but they show me an error and I have to wait the sync, and the sync is never istant and when it takes too much time I have to switch off the wifi to force the sync with data mobile. [It's not a wifi problem because it happened also when wifi is disabled from the start].
I can't post pics because is my first post, i can tell you what i see:
- the date is 08/02/1972;
- there are some notifications with a triangle and that is reported: "an application attemped to us...." or "your phone date is inaccurated! Adjust your ..."
- when I click on that notification pop up the date and time settings.
Hope you can help me.
Sorry for my english.

This is a known bug in PA. Your date get resets on every reboot.

Thanks for the reply.
So, untill CM11 or PA fix that, exists any other "stable" rom with 4.4.2 that hasn't that bug?

Well, no ROM is bug free,but there are ROM which have less bugs. You can use Carbon ROM v4, all most no bugs. Or if You want to use the latest v8, there is a beep beep sound in the call(the call waiting one) and don't use Google Now Launcher in it.

I know that any rom is bugs free, but this bug is very annoying, especially for person like me that use the apps of the phone as alarm clock.
So I'm looking for a rom with Kit Kat at that is almost stable.
Carbon rom v4 is based on Kit Kat? If yes, can you link me where can I download the zip (and, if there is a particular gapps, also the link for this)?
Thanks for the reply! Cya

As a work around until there is a better solution you could use Google Play ClockSync
If you've unlocked the bootloader and have root access on your Xperia LT26i, ClockSync is a very good way to sync time and date at boot.
It'll even correct daylight saving and time zones if they've changed over the years.

[ROM][MOD] ColorOS 2.0.2i FIND7A v1.1

Custom ColorOS 2.0.2i beta - Complete upgrade guide - With TWRP - Also works on X9077/6
I will keep this ROM updated, always help when I can, and open to suggestions that users may want implemented into the ROM. My goal is to keep the ROM Clean, Stable, with great performance without compromising battery life.
This ROM has had the following MODS
Removed a lot of apps - Minimal Gapps are included

It does NOT flash recovery. So if you have TWRP 2.8.0.1 then it won't get replaced with OPPO recovery.

First of all download the ROM here and save it to your SD card
First of all you need to install TWRP 2.8.0.1 - This works with nearly all the ROMs available for the Find 7a
It can be found here
If you have stock recovery you will need to go into fastboot mode (hold power + vol up until the phone vibrates)
With you phone in fastboot boot and connected to USB (make sure you have installed oppo drivers) flash the TWRP img file.
Reboot the phone into recovery (Pwr + vol down)
In recovery select advanced wipe select everything except internal and external storage.
Then go to install and select the rom you have downloaded.
Enjoy.
I have found this to be a very stable/fast ROM with very few problems.

Officially supported? No, but you can flash as I did this version (2.0.1i) in my x9077 if you after flashing the ROM flash the baseband of your device(search in Oppo forums), then you can use without problems.

I don't think there is a lot of difference between the X9006 and the X9007,
If I were you, I would install TWRP backup my current Rom and then flash this ROM. If it doesn't work just restore in TWRP.

Also Find 7 Users might want to try this version.

Yes have an important difference... The baseband, if you flash a different baseband you might have problems as they are made for different markets. The rest of the hardware is identical.

You can flash this, but this is the chinese version of ColorOS 2.0 beta. They update in weekly bases but I don't like since they have so many bloatware chinese apps and the notifications don't work as well like the international version

I am currently working on modifying this ROM, so far it doesn't look like it flashes the baseband firmware, but I will check before releasing.

How is the battery life on this.. ?

Nice to see a post here, sniperjoe. I love your approach. Thanks for removing google bloat. I had to uninstall them everytime i wanted to try colorOs! Good job!

Battery life has improved a bit, but there is more free RAM available and less processes running in the background.
Here are the tweaks I have included.

Does the error notification (3 dots) is being repaired?

Im sorry if i am being annoying its just that i had this 2,0,3 beta from oppo, and i liked how it looked but it drained my battery like crazy.. ?
Can you please upload some screenshot.. ? were we can se ram usage and battery maybe.. ?
I really wanna try this but i just had som major problems on the normal 2.0.3 so i dont wanna do it right away

EDIT:
It flashed perfect so far everything is fine no problems what so ever, however if i should point out one thing, it uses around 1gig of ram now, on my old 1.2.6i were i had deleted some stock apps it used about 790 - 810
So i used a bit more ram, i guess that the normal 2.0.3 uses even more..

Yeah, oppo's apps are a bit bigger, I was going to take them out of the image, but then there is no point on having ColorOS if I do that.
I would recommend to all users to uninstall unused apps. (for example oppo music eats ram) You might need rom toolbox app to help you with this.

Hmmm...
As I can see - it's again the same old half-baked mix of the old CM11 from the early 2016 and the MIUI interface, as was already discussed, closed and dleted here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/miui-7-6-3-20-fire-phone-t3412344
Again the same violation of the XDA rules of not providing the source of the code, again no reference to the CM11 base of it, done by ggow, etc.
So, why to bother to galvanize the old stinky corpse?

its not a voilation of xda rules so dont try to be a CIA agent , its just a Rom which i found more better,than the other Roms as i m using it from a long time , its battery and its interference is better than the other Roms so people should also get benefit of that , we are here to share stuff with other people and beside i dont know who is the real developer of this rom but as i mentioned before i found it more better and stable rom so i think people also have a right to get benifit of that ..

dude i think its large enough nav bar ,by the time you will get use too with it and if you want to adjust nav bar button position then go to settings and then go to additional setting and then go to buttons and scroll down and go to custom button position , there you can adjust the button positions ,

Hmmm...
As I can see - it's again the same old half-baked mix of the old CM11 from the early 2016 and the MIUI interface, as was already discussed, closed and dleted here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/miui-7-6-3-20-fire-phone-t3412344
Again the same violation of the XDA rules of not providing the source of the code, again no reference to the CM11 base of it, done by ggow, etc.
So, why to bother to galvanize the old stinky corpse?

Xposed miui edition by solarwarez does not work, is causing bootloop, do you know a version of xposed who works? By the way, battery life is better than CM11. Do you know any fix for android system and android who eats 40% of my battery?

Z6 Pro official Chinese Stock ROM 11.1.105 and OTA to 11.5.229

Hi all,
I thought it might be useful have a thread dedicated to talking ONLY about official Chinese Stock ROM.
I received my Z6 Pro with a very poor Global ROM, so quickly decided to try the true official ROM, hoping despite its weaknesses it would get far more frequent updates.
Just for reference, here is how I flashed:
Used as a guide the "UNBRICKING / FLASH FIRMWARE LENOVO Z6 PRO L78051" tutorial from boycracked
Official stock roms can be downloaded here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303091 (CN 11.1.105 'android P' or CN 11.5.229 'Android Q' or even RoW 11.0.405 'Android P')
Required tools and drivers here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303090
Some key steps:
Get phone ready (important) :
Gain access to developer options
Enable USB debugging
Enable unlocking Bootloader (it won't actually unlock it!)
Get computer ready (also important)
Install QDLoader HS-USB Driver 9008
Install latest version of QPST (2.7.474)
Flash with step in boycracked "unbricking Z6 pro" webpage or using this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/rom-lenovo-z6-pro-l78051-qpst-edl-t3947149
This are additional tips to avoid errors :
Copy/move flash rom file to bin subfolder of Qfil in 'program file' might help resolve errors
Get Qfil ready with recommended settings. Make sure “Erase all date before download” is NOT selected in configuration / firehose.
Connect USB cable
Reboot phone in EDL mode (adb command or press power + both volume buttons), COM port should appear in Qfil as "QDLoader 9008"
As soon as phone reached EDL mode and phone shows in Qfil quickly press Download. If for any reason it did not work, switch off phone again and reboot to EDL.
Ok so that will take you to official CN rom 11.1.105 which is a very stable android 9 rom released sometime in September.
Or CN 11.5.229, which is currently best choice and will keep being updated.
Now get rid of Chinese apps and install play store from the Chinese App Centre and that's it.
WARNING : DO NOT USE GOOGLEINSTALLER APK AND DON'T INSTALL GOOGLE ACCOUNT MANAGER
Googleinstaller.apk is not needed on CN roms, it will install apps that are not longer required. AND it will brick 11.5.x CN rom based phones!
Some users successfully moved to 11.5.x . Everything worked well until he used googleinstaller.apk
All is needed in CN Roms is playstore that is available in Zui App Center. Just in case make sure you don't have google account manager installed before applying OTA to Zui 11.5!
BE AWARE: There are several limitations or bugs in CN roms:
- (IF U-Touch is turned on) Can't use custom Launchers (Nova, Action...). Unfortunately they don't work and will freeze phone, make U-touch crash / no acces to recent apps. [fixed from CN 11.5.269]
- Backup to Google Drive does not work.
- Whatsapp notifications sometime don't appear until you run the app manually. (fix is simply to : (1) white list app in auto run, (2) lock it in app recent drawer, (3) exclude it from battery optimisation and (4) when reboot phone manually launch app so that it sits in ram).
- Some messaging apps' including Whatsapp's notifications won't generate ring or vibration :
FIX: WhatsApp no sound notification fix for CN roms:
- Get Notificon app from PlayStore (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=notificon.gsy.com.notificon) to trigger sound each time selected apps generate a notification in the bar.
- Works for whatsapp, but make sure you disable the unnecessary notifications there like "Media Playback" otherwise Notificon will ring for no reason and you won't be able to listen to voice memos.
- (IF U-Touch is turned on) Morelocale app (which allows to use languages not included in the ROM) also totally crash ZUI... So rom has to be used in English. CONFIRMED WORKING FROM 11.5 CN ROMS !
How to use MoreLocale to get all your apps to use the language of your choice :
.Get the app from play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
.Enable USB debugging from Developer Options and from a command prompt on PC, type this : adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
.Everytime you reboot phone, you will need to go to morelocale app and pick the language of your choice!
So really as long as you are ok to fiddle around to tweak stock app and to use English language (or turn off U-touch). ZUI CN is the best official Rom option, if you need to keep bootloader locked.
Since it is untouched stock you will get OTAs to next upgrades:
11.5.269 (Android 10) released mid-January ; it is now a very stable beta release, I used it daily and it works great.
What I noticed:
- fix issues with morelocale and U-Touch.
- Improved photo quality and camera app layout
- Android Q!
- Dark Theme
- Custom launchers now work
- Still no google drive backup / Notificon required for whatsapp sound notifications.
There NOW is a full rom flashable Qfil file available to get directly to CN rom 11.5.229. As BL remains locked and system stock, OTAs will come as and when they are released.
Please report other issues / tips for improvements.
This will no longer be updated as I have now moved to RevengeOS : this is THE Custom rom alternative we were all waiting for. Works 100% great and Lucchetto who created it also managed to port the stock Camera app which means we don't loose the ability to access all cam lenses !
Thanks

Hmmm... Actually Utouch seem to be working great with 11.1.105.
No wifi problem either.
BUT still can't set a language other than English and kind of forced to stick to ZUI launcher.
So as of now phone with Chinese ROM is enjoyable and very powerful, despite room for improvement.
As for ZUK Z2 Pro in the past, official Chinese ROM are far better than any 'global' release... But need some tuning.
PS: I love uTouch

My phone is with CN 11.0.575 and parched with the ZaZz version (The .bat 00_flashrom.bat anywhere), i already have TWRP Recovery and now is rooted with Magisk. I CAN HELP WITH AL THE PROBLEMS OF YOUR SOFTWARE, But, now i want to install the ROW Secure 11.0.284 version, i cant, i dont know if is the version of my QFIL, the drivers, but the process just arribe to system_3.img and stay every time that ypu want. I dont know, but i want to try with that ROM. I just can with the CN 11.0.575 ROM, i areally want to try with ROW, im using QFIL 2.0.1.9 .

I guess this is the main issue with Chinese ROM... Whatsapp notifications don't work well.
Still running tests, but there are like 4 places to watch for to help with notifications:
- permissions
- notifications from the app setup screen
- Auto start
- Battery optimisation
....
And probably more.

Without notification how can you use a phone ?

Is there a need for unlocking bootloader to flash stock rom ?

Nope,
read my mini tutorial further up. You need to "enable unlocking" in developer options, but you won't actually unlock it! Hence you stay stock and get OTA !

Disabling most Chinese apps is very easy. Either from Zui home page or go to settings / apps and you can uninstall or disable what you want.
Installing google play : I did that through the app centre (this is the chinese equivalent of google play) search for google play and you're done.

Are notifications fine out of the box in last cn version or you've to set some permissions?

See previous posts about that.
To summarize, most notifications like calls, sms, emails... Work fine.
I had more trouble with whatsapp. Needs to allow in autostart, exclude from battery optimization, allow notifications... And to be safe, launch it manually after phone reboot.
