"Android is upgrading" and phone.apk DPI - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys wanna check if anyone's experienced this and if anyone has a fix for these issues.
Firstly, after rooting, I noticed that I always get a message saying "Android is upgrading" every reboot. I've tried foxes suggested in other threads of other phones but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
The second issue is upon changing the dpi in build.prop to 320, the phone.apk and dialer in contacts.apk messes up in the sense that there is no call button. I've used App Settings to change the individual dpi of each app back to 480 but the call button is not restored. Only when build.prop is 480 does it come back.
Anyone can help with the above issues? :/ can't find anything in the forums about these.

Which ROM are you using, because almost all of the ROM installs advise to factory reset and delete cache etc, in which case I don't think you should not get upgrading apps message on first boot.
Something is not right with your delvik cache, this normally only occurs when you clear your delvik cache. I would suggest backup, factory reset, reinstalling a ROM, then root.

I'm on stock. I only rooted using Bin4ry's tool and that was all. The only things I did extra was flash black soft keys and flash White Balance with TWRP. I've done a full factory reset before, even using PC companion to repair and re-install the firmware but this still occurs.

This is the same as "wiping dalvik" in CWM or TWRP right? Doesn't seem to work. I've re-flashed the firmware and the root doesn't seem to give any issues. It's not TiBu like other threads for other devices have mentioned either. I think it's Xposed that caused it. I used it to install App Settings which lets me change individual app settings. Will try it out again and see what happens.
EDIT: Okay it seems to be the flashing of the soft keys to make it black.

You have to delete the. Odex files for the black navbar mod

boot looping when I update with Viperboy 1.1.0

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help
Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.
Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.
It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.
im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me
Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

It is not listed in the "All Apps" section of the apps manager.
Symptoms: When my phone rings the notification to tell me who is calling does not pop up. I have to go into the phone app to even see who is calling, much less answer the call.
My notification bar is gone.
When I get a text message my phone will vibrate, but not chime.
My wall paper is gone.
I have found threads about rooted phones where people have removed the systemui that this are the same symptoms they have. The problem is that they had the original rooted program they used, so can reinstall that. I cannot do that, as my phone is not rooted. That is why I think my systemui is gone.
Install root explorer and check in /system/app folder for the apk, or in /preload/symlink/system/app. If it's there in preload, you will need to create a symlink for that in system/app.

You won't be able to install it as you're not rooted and it requires administrator privileges. But it's there anyway so I don't think that's the issue.

Thats really strange... Try rebooting into recovery (Vol up, home and power held down until you see samsung logo) then choose wipe cache and reboot. I doubt that will fix it though.
Only other options I can see are to root device by installing phillz kernel, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery, or root device, reinstall the app and make sure permissions are correct, or wipe device and start from scratch.

Stop playing with essential parts of your system if you have absolutely no idea of what you are doing.
To get back to a reliable configuration:
download a stock rom and install it following the instructions in Dr. Ketan's thread here.
After that: start to read and learn. High probability this will protect the life of your device.

Yes, it's a flashable zip - downloaded from steal25's post in the Tranquil 4.3 RLS2 thread. Running 4.3 RLS2 and everything was fine until today when I flashed the theme (only thing I flashed in recent memory).

At this point, I'll settle for going back to the standard blue theme. So I tried a dirty flash of 4.3 RLS2 (wiping cache and davlik and then a reboot) but it didn't help either. Did that because, like a fool, I didn't backup anything before I flashed the theme. If nothing helps, I try to backup as much data as I can and then do a full wipe - but I would only like to do that as a last resort.

Thanks BD! Tried to post in that thread but I didn't have permissions to do so. Also, PM'ed steal25 and he asked if I could send him a log but when I run logcat all I get is:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
He suggested alogcat from the market so I got that a saved a log after a few of those errors. Let me know if I should let it run a bit longer and I'll re-post the log.

By the way, can I attach files to the post instead? If so, where is that option?

Well if you dirty flashed the original rom and it didn't fix the issue, then there really isn't anything anyone could give you to recover from your situation.
Be careful what you back up now as that data could be corrupted. At least I would suggest not to back up any system data.
I would do a clean install and then the theme again before bothering with more logcats.

First, thanks to everyone for their time and suggestions.
Decided to try another launcher (GO Launcher EX), which would buy me time until RLS3 is available. I remembered that I had TI installed and hoped to find a backup of Sense that I made after installing RLS2. Found it, restored it and rebooted and I'm up and running RLS2. There are some things that aren't functioning normally - can't go into Settings/Personalize, every reboot resets my home page, and I'm guessing a few others that I haven't found yet. I was able to make a backup of my Call Log, SMS, MMS, and pictures - the only items I was really worried about anyway - and will wait until RLS3 is ready.
Thanks again for everyone's help!

Can not take pictures with the camera after update 4.4.2

Updated to 4.4.2 via OTA everything seems to work except the camera, Camera app will start, but when to take the picture so nothing happens. Anyone else having the same problem?

This is a known issue if you have unlocked bootloader.
Some people have gotten it to work, but this seems random.
I had this with the FR FTF, Commercial and Journalist fixed it.

I'm having this issue. Very frustrating. I can't find a download for a commercial or journalist link. If I find one, do I have to do the whole process of clearing, flashing rom, power off, and then flashing FTF again, or do I just re-flash with the new ftf?

Just flash the FTF, the default settings will wipe everything for you

Nothing
Fixes for non working camera
1) Clear data for ALL camera related apps in settings
2) Do a factory reset
3) If rooted, enter recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, reboot
Start with doing (1), see if it works, if not try (2), see if it works then try (3)
Only if all 3 of these options do not work should you try a full reinstall.
Mine just no focus
I can take pic. I am on lb

Thank you - fixed. Even asked if I wanted it to detect the APN for me! Anyone know how to invoke this function again because I reset the APN hoping to connect to the carrier rather than the provider APN, but it just deleted it!

It seems I've lost root, and also have no recovery. Any quick guides on how to install a recovery or reroot without having to reinstall rom again?

Those will likely do nothing, the error comes from mm-qcamera, which is part of low level libs, clearing dalvik cache is almost always useless. A factory reset won't affect this issue either.
I'm guessing some FTFs carry different versions of camera libs.

yes flashing the commercial-journalist version fixed the issue for me but I lost root and recovery. However, I used fastboot to flash Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-681_v02.img and then flashed the latest Super Su from the new DooMLoRD recovery to re-root the device.

Hi,
after update to 4.4.2, my camera freezes after a few shots.
I made the step 1, rebooted the phone, and now it seems to be ok.
Thanks a lot.
