[Q] xperia z1c lollipop memory leak issue

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 (?)

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!

[ROM][N900T] Stock Lollipop 5.0 (N900TUVUFOB6) v1.1 - ROOT+DEODEX+ZIPALIGN+deKNOX

I know mastergrillo already has a thread similar to this, but I didn't see an option that had everything I wanted. I'm just sharing the version I made for myself in case anyone needs it. Flash at your own risk.
This is simply a stock Samsung Lollipop 5.0 rom (N900TUVUFOB6) for the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (N900T) that includes the following features:
Features:
Rooted (SuperSU and Busybox included)
KNOX removed (it will still trip KNOX 0x1, but it won't annoy you about a security issue)
Deodexed (makes the system easier to MOD and is currently required for installing the Xposed framework)
Zipaligned (optimizes apk alignment to reduce memory usage)
Rom based /etc/init.d script support (doesn't require a kernel with init.d support, but it will still work fine if your kernel does [scripts shouldn't get run twice])
Untouched stock Samsung kernel
It was not debloated because what's bloat to me may be useful to someone else and vice versa. You can easily debloat it yourself using Titanium Backup or a debloating script.
Nothing else was touched, and all T-Mobile based features like wifi calling work fine.
Issues:
No issues that I know of.
Installation instructions
Note: This rom does not include the lollipop bootloader or modem, so it's recommended to update both of those first if you haven't already.
Do a full backup
Flash with TWRP recovery (other custom recoveries may work, but it hasn't been tested)
Wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache partitions before installing. You probably don't have to wipe the data partition if you're coming from the original Samsung Lollipop 5.0 (this will preserve your apps and settings), but I haven't tested it.
May take 10 to 20 minutes for first boot (it will stay on the t-mobile logo for a while). Just be patient.
Stagefright vulnerability fix
There's a patch available to fix the stagefright vulnerabilities (credit goes to mastergrillo for this). The patch can be installed with TWRP immediately after installing the rom (you don't need to reboot first).
Other MODs that are compatible with this ROM (not included)
External sdcard write fix (allows apps to write to the external sdcard)
Android 6.0 Marshmallow boot animation (here's a video of what it looks like)
Xposed framework
Note: Xposed is still in alpha status for Lollipop, so some modules may still have issues.
First install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk (or newer) from here
And then flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip (or newer) from here using TWRP. The important parts of the filename that should stay the same are "sdk21" (for Lollipop 5.0.x) and "snapdragon" (for our chipset).
If you have any questions or issues with Xposed, please ask them in arter97's Xposed thread.

UPDATE: I seem to got be getting data after installation. I've installed twice. I cannot just say this is bogus, but I'm just sharing that I can't get data with this ROM in the OP.

@dirtybudha
The data service problem has been fixed in version 1.1 (OP updated with link).
The bug happened because I forgot to include the CSC files from the original Samsung rom. I didn't notice the bug because I manually flashed the CSC files after flashing the rom, which fixed the problem for me.
Anyways, I reflashed the new version myself using the flashing instructions in the OP to verify that it was corrected. It should work fine now.

..

Thanks! Will flash and report back.
Update: Data works! Bluetooth won't turn on. I'm sending a pm with a logcat.

Hey, I just tested bluetooth on my phone, but I can't replicate your problem. It's working fine for me. You may want to try clearing the caches if you haven't already. I did a full wipe (system, data, cache, and dalvik cache) when flashing version 1.1.
How did you flash version 1.1? Was it a clean install? Can you please tell me what you wiped? Have you tried this bluetooth device on the stock lollipop before?
If anyone else has tried bluetooth, please post your results.
Thanks

And can you please tell me the device you tried to pair with the phone, or would bluetooth just not turn on at all when you tried to enable it?
Edit:
btw.. are you running the lollipop bootloader and modem?

It was a clean install, wiped caches, data, system. I do this ever time i flag a ROM. I do have the bootloader and modem for Lollipop. I'm currently running stock Lollipop,and have been for a while.
I was trying to pair my Asus Zenwatch. Problem is that the Bluetooth Jay wouldn't turn on at all.
Let me try again. Could have been a bad a download or the moon wasn't in the right place last night.
Update: it was a bad download, apparently. Seems like everything is working so far.
About to backup everything and flash Xposed.
BOOM, shalakalaka

I've actually been looking for exactly this. Being that it is bone stock is it safe to assume that Wifi calling and everything else works?

If you read through the OP you will see that this ROM is almost entirely stock for the T-Mobile Note 3. That means WiFi Calling works. I just turned it on and everything is in order.

Xposed took some thinking, all anyone needs to do is flash the Alpha 4 file. So far it shows that it is up and running. Although my multi window manager wasn't able to work, it may not be compatible with lollipop. I'll have to go through and test some of the apps later. I just left the FC Dallas soccer game and I'm headed home to watch the Dallas Cowboys play.
Great work! I, as well as the community, appreciate your contribution.

I believe you also have to install arter97's xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-snapdragon.zip in order for xposed to work properly on Samsung roms.

I thought that was already done? What was done to make this ROM Xposed ready?

Nothing was done except deodexing it, which is what is needed for arter97's xposed files to work. When I mentioned that you'd still need to install arter97's stuff, I thought that would be clear (but I may have added that after you downloaded it).
I didn't want to include arter97's xposed files in case some people didn't want it, it's still in alpha status stability wise and gets updated often, and it can also easily be added by flashing arter97's latest file. I simply mentioned xposed ready, so people would know that it could be installed.
I've updated the OP to make it clearer.

Touche.
Well it worked great!

any news about it?

Yes i'm running Dark Wolf rom Android 6.0.1 for my Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005, i try to install the updated exposed installed already, after flash the xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip. file, my phone just stuck boot, can't running , any solution to fix it ? After uninstall then come back to normal....

For those reporting bootloops. Samsung phone with touchwiz ROM will bootloop with the official xPosed. Please fully read the original post

If darkwolf is indeed touchwiz you need to use the unofficial wanam build

I have a Huawei Ascend Y330 U11. I have rooted my phone using Kingroot app. My device works on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. And it has Emotion UI 2.0 . I actually rooted it on the pretext of flashing a custom ROM. Then after rooting I found out that there was no Custom ROM for this model and I couldn't even find a custom recovery (CWM/TWRP) for this device.
Then I heard of Xposed Framework and decided to try it out. But after installing the installer, when u try to install, it tells me that it can't copy app_process to system/bin as it already exists. And yes, I saw that it already exists in the folder. And since I don't have a custom recovery, I can't even try flashing it on recovery. And I badly want to use Xposed. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Finally got it,all well done, follow this web highonandroid.com/xposed-for-marshmallow-android-6-06-0-1

This page provides less information than the XDA threads, is not directly connected to the developers of xPosed, and likely are distributing without rovo/wanam/arter permission. They selfhost the files which, to me, reeks of selfishness, at best, or malicious practices, at worst.
Exactly what knowledge did you gain from it that wasn't provided here at the official source?

Thank you, & Enjoy!

Nice!
Thanks @aaron74 I know we've had some requests for latest rooted stock ROM.
This sounds like what they're looking for. With developers leaving and Note 4 closing in on EOL, this device needs more developers. Best wishes for success and your endeavor to learning more.

I can add some.
I didn't because it's just stock.

Thank you for taking time from your schedule in real life to contribute to the xda and for keeping note 4 THE best phone available to date . I was just wondering if you would know how to fix the root switch barrier i have come accross when trying to load pokemon app , when i was on stock pk1 odexed i used root switch app to disable root and i played the game fine using flygps with this build and being deodexed when i try to do the same it fails , first the gps says cannot be found thats because im using mock location app and second pokemon app itself tells me it cannot authenticate the account im guessing cause it cannot pass the safety net test, so my question is ...is it a easy fix or is it something that would take weeks of work if it is dont even bother buddy ill just roll back to my backup its no biggie but if its easy i'd like to keep this build and have the pokemon working thanks.

But No I wouldn't have a clue about that. I'm not quite that talented yet. Ive just started learning some of the more technical stuff about modding.
If you do find out the possible fix, I'd be more than happy to incorporate it into the rom!
Thanks!
Edit: I'm just taking a stab in the dark here, but since we're dealing with root. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with su.d or system less root or dmverity.
What exact rom were you on when it worked?
I'm not home right now, but try extracting the stock kernel from the qb3 firmware.
Flash it then flash Super su again.
Then try the root switch.
Let me know if that does anything?

I managed to put together a fix to try. I'm just quessing but this will let me rule out if its related to the kernel.
Its stock PK1 Kernel (all i have on phone right now).
Download it,
Uninstall the Root switch app.
Flash the kernel zip. Reboot!
Then install Root switch.
Let me know if it works. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT- SEE Post BELOW!!

Pokeman and snapchat won't work with root... Not rom related.

You are running stock kernel right?
And also, you are NOT running xposed?
This is the only way i know to get Safetynet green.
The dev from Magisk is working real hard to let us keep root on for Safetynet Passing, but on the xposed side we still have that big problem.

Stock Rom T835 [ARK4] DeKnoxed

hello,
I made this TWRP flashable zip from December ARK4 Samsung firmware, using SuperRKitchen. It's deKnoxed and untouched apart from the lightest of debloated apps. Everything else is untouched and as per Samsung firmware. No root is included or any other mods or additions. I made this for myself, but offer it here for any interested parties. I'm not a dev, script warrior or ROM master. Just a guy with a T835. I was already on ARK4, but I include the ARK4 vendor image if you need to flash in twrp. It's v4 as it took me 3 attempts to make it! You just need to flash Magisk and/or Modesty Kernel if you want.

ARK4 Vendor image: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dgV-KDBZw7EeCnWcHozR-vx4oKdNG7Ee

I don't get my tab s4 until tomorrow, but I'd like to thank you for making this. I know I'll end up using this when I inevitably screw up using one of the roots or debloats.

I'm not sure - but would think it doesn't. You can try though, just back up before you do and restore if not
To flash ROM you'll need TWRP installed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1-galaxy-tab-s4-t3843211.
Once TWRP is installed and working, wipe system, data etc
Then flash the ROM zip
Flash kernel & Magisk if you require

Thank you OP! Can you please help me understand, what does deknoxed mean? I know Knox is Samsung security, but what would deknoxed be? Less bloat or some functional advantage?

Removing the knox app that may inhibit root manger or interfering with system apps. It

Thank you for your efforts. Having rooted I had a rigmarole to go thru to apply this update. It was so easy, just flashed with TWRP and I still had root, TWRP, and all my apps data and settings.
I hope that you will do the same for further firmware updates as they come out.
Again thanks for your efforts!

Are you doing Pie version as well?
THanks

Sure, as soon as the sammobile site as th UK firmware I'll dig one out

There is one for Hong Kong and one Unknown. Are you able to provide some basic instructions on how to brew the custom firmware please?
Thanks

All links are not working. Does anybody have mirror on this ROM or another ROM based on Android 8 for TWRP?
