[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)

Yes. But you dont have to backup the OS. You can download the Firmware using the XperiaFirm Tool >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

is that mean I can flash pre-rooted rom, shared from Xperia Z1 Compact General subforum without unlock bootloader ?

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 (?)

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]

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!

How to install xposed framework?

I have tried several times but I'm not able to install xposed framework. my last attempt lead my sm-t705 to a bootloop, can anyone explain the steps here? I'm using tw 5.0.2, rooted, twrp recovery, up in the air 1.7 kernel.

Make sure your rom is deodexed then Install this zip via twrp:

Then install the Alpha 4 apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
That's it, reboot and you should have xposed.

What you said doesn't make sense, if you modify a stock rom it becomes custom.
If you root, deodex and install xposed then your stock rom becomes custom.
You need to do all 3 to make it work.
I would suggest saving yourself some hassle and installing the rom below, it is practically a stock lollipop rom, which is deodexed and rooted. All you need do is install xposed.

what I meant by costume rom was that I want a clean rom with out any unnecessary modifications.
who is the developer of this rom? I've never seen this rom before except for t800.

Developer is not-i called sweetrom. Its a very good stable rom, hardly anything removed except for a few bloat apps.

@ashyx I am trying to get xposed on T800, do the files you attached work too or should I get something else? Can you refer me to the xposed thread you're getting the files from? I have xposed on my OPO with Blisspop but trying to get it on a Tab S T800.

I know this is an old thread but I need some help. I'm on the latest version of stock TouchWiz and I've gone through the deodexing process but I still cannot get Xposed installed. It sticks at the Samsung boot animation after flashing any and all zip files that TWRP allows me to flash.

I've flashed every version of arter97's builds that said sdk21. I'll try again, and yes, it's booting just fine deodexed.
EDIT: "As far as my testing goes, only the Korean Note 3 firmwares should install "requestConcurrentGC" version." Because of that line there, I never tried flashing that particular version. Until now. It worked and finally booted up completely except no modules are showing up in the downloads section.
EDIT 2: Simply reinstalled the Xposed apk and the download section was populated.

Pretty much all Samsung devices running LL use the requestConcurrentGC version.
The latest versions will do a device check before installing anyway.

You can save yourself some hassle there are some great deodexed roms in the development section.
If you still want Xposed for stock check out the Arter97 thread for the latest modified Xposed. It has been patched to no longer require deodexing.

Thanks. I saw arter97's thread.
but in the first post, the quote is emphasized. I am note sure someone try it on odexed stock rom.
/* Prerequisite */
Due to my skills limitation, only deodex'ed ROMs are supported for now.
For more explanations, checkout post 2.
/* Supported firmwares */
Every ARMv7(32-bit) Samsung Lollipop Android 5.0 deodex'ed firmware should work.
But please note that I have tested this only on Galaxy S4, Note 3 and S5.

This ia ancient news, I think exposed killed my knox?, I thought it said it could not install because if it, it asked me if i wanted to disable knox so it could install, I said yes and knox was killed, this was over a year ago and i was on kitkat, is this correct.
Killing knox was the best thing for me once i realised it, no more worrying about killing it any-more, my 2 year warranty is almost out, and i have had no problems with my T800 10.5"

Does Cardboard Camera work on a Note 2 running KitKat?

Hi guys,
Wonder if someone could do me a favor and try installing Cardboard Camera (Sorry, can't post links yet) on their Note 2?
I have an SGH-T889 running stock Jelly Bean and it tells me that it is incompatible with my phone. Read somewhere that it needs KitKat, but my missus runs KitKat on her (cheap) phone and she can't install it either.
Just wanted to check whether it could actually run before bothering to try flashing a 4.4. ROM.
Many thanks

Try it. And if work is not updated to TouchWiz 4.4. You have a T889 t mobile and therefore you are in 4.3? I have this and as no official 4.4 rom use the eclipse v6 4.4 and the phone is faster and has more features

Just to update in case anyone else wondering about this. After 2 solid days of reading, I rooted my phone and installed a 4.4. custom rom (jedi).
Cardboard Camera then installed ok! :laugh:
Try and take a photo "Unfortunately your device does not reach the minimum requirements" :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Restored back to stock.

Apps still thinks I have older version 4.3 after CM12 install?

I just installed CM12 with correct gapps and phone is working fine. I did it so my kids could download Pokimon Go as pokimon wants a new version then 4.3. After hours of cruising the info on this formum I was able to root, install twrp and install CM12 and the gapps. It works great. However, Pokimon still says I have an older version. I checked in my settings and it says I now have 5.0.2. Is there something else I can change to let pokimon on this phone!
The rom I installed is: cm-12-20150116-UNOFFICIAL-t0lte
the gapps is: pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-20150221-signed
Thanks to everyone on this forum and the wealth of knowledge.
