Hi guys
i'm a bigginer in this forum , and i badly need help , since 2006 i used nokia phones , they cames with native 2-Way In-Call recording ,but a month ago i bought an xperia arc , and it only record calls from microphone , i hope that you may help , otherwise i think i'm gonna sell my phone and buy a nokia . I need call from both sides , just like stereo mix in windows not just recording from microphone , i tried all applications but there is no result .
best regards
Probably look up the guides, about unlocking the bootloader and flashing CM 7.2, i think the latest release supports 2 way recording. You will Void Your warranty.
thanks you sooooooooooooo much for your re reply , i wasnt expected not to be helped here , but i know how to open the bootlooder but how to flash is the problem , and i dont know how to use flashing ,if you could help me , i'll be very thankful .

You need doomlords kernel, v15 for stock rom or v3 for cm7 rom(they're in different threads),& the app mentioned in them. Therefore you'll need an unlocked bootloader...

thanks for your quick reply , but what is doomlords kernel ? and what is stock room ? can you show me how to do or give me a link .
You can also try with CM 7.2 FXP047, which support two-way call recording.
You can find the ROM here: {ARC/ARC S}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM7.2.0 - FXP047 FreeXperia Project. To install it, you need Fastboot & ADB, both included in the Android SDK. Copy the Update ZIP to your SD Card, then flash the kernel, enter CWM, install the update, perform a user data wipe, and then reboot.
Then, you need rVoix to enable call recording. You can download it from rVoix Project Page
Let me know if this worked for you.
thank your for you reply , but i have 2 problems , first , idont know where to download these things , and second , i dont knwo what is fastboot , and how to flash a kernel .
Please go to the android development section and read the stickied posts.

I need your help...
Hey there!
jd1639 gave me the advice to post my problem in this thread rather than wait for an answer in the xda-assist thread. For not having to write it all again, here is a link to the post I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/unbrick-wiko-rainbow-t3108133 . Seems like noone is able to help me on that issue, but I hope for your knowledge to come up with a solution...
Is it possible to use an update.zip to fix it? Thought of packing the whole stock-rom into a zip-file, rename and install it, and everything would be fine again. Tried to do so, but when I pick the "apply update from sdcard"-option in recovery menu, the system partition is shown instead of the sd card storage, and I don't know how to put the zip onto sys without adb.
If not even a pro like you knows a solution for this, do you think it is still possible to recognize, that I tried to install a custom firmware? Otherwise I could return it to Wiko and hope for a replacement!
Thank you for arguing with my problem by now, please let me know what you think about it.
Regards,
Metal-Moe
@Metal-Moe so let me try to help you..
you have 2 methods:
1.official tool
what you must do? connect your phone and run JB version (it appears v14 on wiko site)..i assume you know how to it.#see below the pictures and minitutorial.
charge your battery to full, this is important!! see if the software recognize your WIKO..run this drivers:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554018 and try to connect and reconnect your WIKO in different USB ports after you installed the drivers. (install anyway if appears a security warning)
2.SPFLASHTOOLS-.if doesnt work try the same method but with SP FLASHTOOLS..even in my computer sometimes doesnt recognize when testing developer roms..and i do that ..works for me..you just need to be patient and keep trying..one of the usb ports will work for sure..after it works flash stock JB and see if your IMEI is back..at least have your phone back to life..to restore your IMEI you have many methods..just PM or mention me to have a more faster answer..first lets see if we can bring back your phone from the dead.:good:
note:stock JB makes a folder inside that is SP FLASHABLE like this:

@smokerman: Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the problem with the possible solutions you'd mentioned, so I brought the bricked phone back to the local store, hoping it wouldn't be returned unrepaired due to guarantee loss. Two weeks later I got it back and it's working fine! But thank you for your effort in helping me anyway!
Now I'll backup the IMEI with MobileUncle before doing anything else!

is current xperia z1c lollipop still have memory leak issue ?
I used lollipop for 2 days already. and it always restart my game (minimized to background) after I open browser to use google (yeah only 2 recent apps displayed. chrome and game apps).
I hate this because my game need long time and heavy bandwidth at loading screen. I never get this problem when I used kitkat. I heard there's xposed module to fix this memory leak issue but my phone isnt rooted.
or is there a way to return to default OS (kitkat) like when I first bought it ? maybe I'll do this way. reset it to kitkat again. but I dont know how.
thanks.
You can flash stock kitkat with flashtool. I should have stock EU . 157 rom somewhere on my pc and can upload it if you want.
Flashing stock rom is pretty easy. Watch a tutorial or something. I can help you a bit more when back home.
Back to your question. I have no idea I'm still running kitkat as L is still not available in my country.

is it working to use your stock rom at my country ? I thought different country have different kind of rom. not sure about this if this is true or not.
flashing stock rom doesnt need root access, right ? and maybe can I also backup current lollipop OS that I have so I can reflash it when it has been fixed ?.
so far what I like from lollipop is when someone call me, I can still use other app because call notification only use small box on top of my current running app. I like this feature very much.
It depends where do you live. If in EU it should be fine. If not I can find a rom good for your location.
No, flashing custom rom does not require rooted device.
I think you don't have to do the backup as you'll be able to just update it again ( at least I think so)

wow this is nice info. I've just tried using that xperiafirm tool and it shows my country firmware.
Generally you can root your phone without unlocking bootloader. It worked for me, at least on kitkat. I'm not sure what about the Lollipop though.
You should better ask someone else too as I'm not as experienced and don't want to give you false info.
But if there's pre-rooted rom here and it's working for android L you don't have to unlock bootloader to flash it.

okay I can get lollipop with root+xposed (all day tried this. I read some tutorial how to do it properly because this is my 1st time doing something like this. so tired ). although I dont know if xposed wont work perfectly like you said because I only use 3 modules so far. App Settings (keep screen on for game I'm playing) and Fix Lollipop Memory Leak and gravitybox (LP).
what I've done :
- downloaded kitkat 14.4.A.0.157 from XperiFirm. and flashed it using flashtool.
- I've realized .0157 can't be rooted for now. so I've used your link that you gave (Root FW 14.4.A.0.157 (LB/UBL) ).
- after get root access, then I installed recovery using Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.11-RELEASE.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com/
- after that I flashed 14.5.A.0.242_CustomizedFR_Pre-Rooted_Dualrecovery 2.8.10 + Fix Xposed for Lollipop using recovery.
- and flashed Massive debloating and Xposed. links and procedure are also from that pre-rooted rom thread.
so far, no bootloop. dont know if I add some xposed modules again. I heard it will get bootloop if too many xposed modules is installed (?)

I have found a way to root stock LP having ULB. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60188952
Now going to try xposed. Since you have, tell me how.. Here is the official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Is this where you get info?

Xposed worked perfectly in KK. I tried more than five modules at a time without the bootloop issue. What I fear is the LP. Havent you checked the dev/Q&A thread of the modules?
what I've done :
- downloaded kitkat 14.4.A.0.157 from XperiFirm. and flashed it using flashtool.
- I've realized .0157 can't be rooted for now. so I've used your link that you gave (Root FW 14.4.A.0.157 (LB/UBL) ).

wow so much struggle... I have a doubt, why not simply flash that pre-rooted ftf file over the KK? [being lazy to search for the thread]
So how is it feels? Dont forget to share your views and link to the thread..

I dont know that. But I heard that activating some module(s) when some other module(s) is(are) active may cause bootloop in KK.
Hey there, the XperiFirm dev here.
No one answered your question so I will. The answer is: No.
Sony made sure to include the memory leak fix built in (the exact fix that the Xposed module offers) for their Lollipop releases. The Xposed module is pointless.
See attached screenshot. Basically the Xposed module replaces the AOSP function with exactly the same function but with this additional "release()" line. As you can see, Xperia already has this line included.

wow thanks to coming here :victory:
lol. so it's pointless to install that module because they are same thing exactly. time to uninstall.
actually my game is still restarted after I browsing a little. although I still see a lot of free memory in here. before, I thought this is because of that memory leak issue but I'm wrong.
if only there's module that can prevent lollipop refresh/restart/clear my game at memory when I minimized it at background.
I have the same problem, only with audio apps in the background. Pocket Casts, Stitcher and BeyondPod all crash and stop playing when running in the background, after I do something else like load the game Threes. This never used to happen with KitKat. I've also noticed that iplayer radio gets very jerky and skips back and forth by a quarter of a second continuously as soon as I turn off the screen. [edit - I just listened to it for a few minutes with the screen off and it suddenly cut out. I turned the screen on an the app was no longer in my notifications tray]
If Sony fixed this particular memory leak, what's going wrong with my phone? Could it be related to the fact that I've encrypted if for the first time? I'm getting desperate enough to consider factory resetting and losing everything, because listening to podcasts and playing threes is one of my favourite activities. It's not a demanding game for my year old, top of the line phone. My cheap tablet manages it, and so did the phone on KitKat!

Hey there,
I'm using g4 since 06.2015 and i have never use anything custom for this phone. I had sony arc s before and i was doing lots of custom things on that phone cause it wasn't enough for daily use etc etc. And i have g4 now and i have 0 informations about how to root it or how to unlock it etc. But i have problem with it's battery usage. Nearly 4-5 hours screen timing which is not really awesome for this expensive phone ( it was quite expensive when i bought and countries have different prices as you know)
Anyways what do you suggest for me? Should i try customs? Is there any custom rom&kernel without any problem? Any lag problem or smt? Is there a way to lock bootloader again and delete root?
And i need some guides for starts. Maybe some rom and kernel suggestions. Please help me.

I'm not normally a huge supporter of custom kernels, but when I got my G4 a while ago I decided I'd give a few a try. It was a great decision.
So far my favourite is Imperium kernel- it's updated frequently with new features, and for me has been stable every single release. Plus I get WAY better battery life now (an extra hour of SOT at least, and standby time is much higher too). Highly recommend it.

So far my favourite is Imperium kernel- it's updated frequently with new features, and for me has been stable every single release. Plus I get WAY better battery life now (an extra hour of SOT at least, and standby time is much higher too). Highly recommend it.

Tnx man,I'll try it
Btw,I have a pretty good batt time with stock MM 20d,I can achieve 5h SOT,sometimes more.
Can I expect better with Imperium kernel?

Just read this.
If you have a locked bootloader, there's nothing you can do as far as a custom kernel or ROM goes.
You can downgrade to lollipop and achieve root, but it won't be the same as a custom ROM or kernel.

I would certainly think so! At the very worst you won't lose any battery, so you may as well try it if you already have TWRP installed. Just be sure to make a backup before installing in case you do want to go back.
HOW DOES EVERYONE GET 4 OR 5 HOURS SOT?!?!? I can barely get to 3.5 with an extended battery

Yes,I have TWRP but I'm still new with LG phones,what should I backup?
Just the system is enough?
Or...?

I also am new to the whole LG scene- I think a backup of the system should be all you need, but you might want to double check on that.
I actually posted a thread about a similar question here but no one responded to it.
Alternatively, you should be able to just flash the default kernel or the default system over top and effectively be back to a completely stock ROM.
Hey there.
It's h815 here. And i check a topic about country codes which can unlock bootloader. Anyways mine was TUR. Which means turkey i assume. What happens if i follow the thread on lg website for unlocking bootloader but my cell can not unlock?
