Hi.
I have this phone since months but I could not figure out which rom to install. I don't want to lose the Sony's camera so RR and CM is not an option. (Tried to flash it from cross-dev thread topics but just killed the rom)
The other problem is that from the stock roms the latest (D5503 14.6.A.1.236) has a prerooted version wich I still use but after a month it started freezing and rebooting and now doing it almost every hour.
I don't want to use previous builds because the latest has the best battery life.
Any idea?

Personally, I start from scratch, (flashtool ftf), then build, (root, busybox, recovery, mods, Xposed, etc.). I always keep a backup of base rooted rom, then make a backup whenever I do any major system changes successfully.
I'm pretty much satisfied with MX ROM. Few quirks here and there, but nothing major. Battery life is better than on stock, put Z5 camera libs, amplify and MobileRadioFix and it's very good. Probably there will be some new update soon.
Thanks for your answer.
I solved it. I use RR (this is my favourite) and the OpenCamera app seems better than the Sony's Camera app
I prefer kitkat. I can make it run for days on end whithout charging. Lollipop and MM just sucks the juice out of the phone. I don't feel either LP nor MM has that much that make it interesting for me to change to either of them.
Picture: mobile used for three days on battery (and yes, I have taken calls on it)

Here what you should do if you want to check by better battery stat. Full charge, disconnect charger, turn on airplane mode leave phone over nite and check again. At that point you will know for sure what keep running on background

Depend .You ready on stock when you had a phone so try out custom rom see if fit your taste and make sure Nandroid backup before flash any rom .After try custom rom you think not better than stock just go head restore which very easy right...
From day 1 I had my note I ready try to root & flash custom rom when had one. But that is me ..
Good luck & enjoy the beast
I have installed cm10 stable version with cm10 stock kernel. But i faced many wakelocks. Phone never goes deep sleep.
Gtalk service makes much. I log out from gtalk but service still there and makes wakelocks. I removed its apk from system but same result.

Most people are on 10.1 now
Which kernel are you using?
yes i know. but 10.1 drains battery very quick. and some bugs.
i am using cm10 stable with stock cm kernel.

No it doesn't! Mine behaves in exactly the same way as CM 10 did
yesterday, i make a clean install cm10.1
after startup wizard etc, i open google play and selected "my apps"
i started to install one by one
but some apps after, i live first SOD
with stock kernel
i flashed 121212 gapps package
Strange, never had that happen to me but I'm using Franco's kernel and have been set up for months now!
It sounds like an app issue regarding the wakelocks, I'd remove everything and then add apps one at a time until you find the issue
it says gtalk sync.
i dont use gtalk on my phone
is there any way to remove it from gapps package with its service?

Open the GAPPs package and delete it before flashing
yes i did. but service still working without apk.
Probably part of Android, Google it and see what you can find
Hi,
Why is it that in the new android on the stock rom for the P2 the sound notification is bugged. I just tripped bad because this is the 10th time at least that when I NEED to be accessible that the phone simply keeps silent while it is IN NOT SILENT mode. And when I put the phone in silent mode that messages come through and my phone makes sound (when I am in a meeting).
It is frustrating like ...Mod Edit: profanity removed... hell.
What is a stable custom rom, I am flashing today got enough of this stock rom. I don't care about warranty anymore if there still is any at all.
Seriously but the software on the Lenovo Z1 was at least more stable.
Unbelieveble that they are able to mess up basically the BASIC functionality of the phone

Hey. Little FAQ for you:
Which Custom Rom Android Version is stable enough?
- Nougat (nearly everything), then Oreo.
Custom Roms i can recommend:
- ViperOS by BabluS. : NOUGAT
- Nearly all Roms by Subham (Cardinal AOSP; Android Open Source Illusion Project) : OREO
- AOSP Extended : OREO + NOUGAT
- Firehound : OREO
Things to note:
- There are Camera bugs when changing to Custom Roms: Taking photos is normal, but video recording is buggy. Fail Safe app for video recording: Footej.
- Most Custom Roms already have it fixed, so you can use it as a daily driver all the way.
- In-App Video recording doesn't work , e.g.: in Whatsapp or Telegram; to get it working you have to edit the build.prop file. If you need help regarding that, Pm me.
- To get Fingerprint Gestures on Oreo you have to encrypt your phone. On Nougat, encryption isn't always neccessary, like on ViperOs.
I personally am on ViperOS Nougat.
Pros: Stable Connectivity; Bugless as i can tell, counting out video recording; build in- Black amoled mode- use the built-in theming engine.
Cons: Older Android Version, but that's totally unimportant. One-key doesn't work, on any kinda rom. Maybe in the future it will be useable again.
Hi there,
I have an issue with my S-Pen. it suddenly have stopped working with my device.
I own a N976B Note.
I guess it is an issue with the firmware, because the stylus is recognized on my other devices and the other styluses are not recognized on my note.
To help you understand the history i want to sum up some steps.
1. my phone had a t-obile branding, witch i wanted to remove, so i flashed another csc rom to get rid of that. (back in 2020)
2. After some annoyance by advertisement and the wish to get root and a custom rom, i installed Dr.Ketan Rom and was pretty satisfied, but the hassle with manual updates was a draw back, so i decided to roll back to complete stock to get OTA.
3. After some huslte and some rookie mistakes by trying to install a n975 stock rom on my device, i figured it out and flashed the matching rom. but now the stylus or the digitizer seems to be corrupted. the firmware version is not recognized by the phone. see the screenshot below:

After some attempts to get it running again, i installed the very stock rom for my phone several times. (N976BXXS7FUI1)
I even checked "re-partition" and flashed with the matching pitfile in odin.
But there still no luck.
do you guys have some tips?
big thanks in advance!
greeting
Play with it. Spen's can be ornery as mules, once you get it going you're good.
They don't like being neglected for months.
My stock one was neglected. Took a couple days of playing with and then boom it stated charging like nothing ever happened.
Until it shows it's taking a charge it will do nothing. It will play dead.
Try clearing the system cache, reset network, pray to the pagan gods, play with it more... in and out, etc. Try enabling multiple spens, try disabling same... don't cross your spens, use the one for the 10+
Guess it just needs a good fk to get it going
I have 2 10+'s, both stock* and both run very well. Loading custom roms isn't needed, can kill desirable features and makes troubleshooting** much more difficult. That said if you're back on a stock rom the spen and associated hardware/firmware/software are likely good... it's just showing you who's boss. Play with it at least once a day, it will likely perk up in a week and stop it's wallflower act.
*with a package disabler and heavily optimized. I never update if it's running fast and stable; many apps are still running on their factory load as well. One 10+ is running on Pie, one on Q.
**Do Not enable power management. Make sure you didn't disable a needed parent/dependency apk! Do not ever, ever load Android 11 or higher, the kiss of death. Of course I could be mistaken, but probably not...

I'm at a loss here. Updated to c61 today, and it's been goofy. I can't install local upgrade (was gonna try to dirty flash), I can't enable RAM boost (not a big deal), and I can't save cropped pics in the gallery app. I'm not sure if it's related, but apps are randomly cloning themselves, too. Does anyone have any ideas?
it kept freezing and i had to factory data reset. i hate this phone now.

Stay on OOS 11, nothing compares, no custom ROM nor ColorOS comes close. Custom ROMs are riddled with bugs, and COS is the same.
Also, flashing custom ROMs might introduce more issues at times. I flashed one and couldn't update properly. Then my phone broke and can't use T-Mobile MSM, it's permanently set to IN.

the c61 itself has a local update in it, with the c61 you don't need the local update.apk and that the RAM boost can't be activated for you (I think you're rooted) with root I couldn't activate RAM boost either.
just as with the c61 the RAM see your pic and mine is displayed in a different place if you have root, just like then (without root) another menu opens if you press the 12 GB Ram woman then extra RAM (this menu is not there with root )
