Hi all,
I updated my XPeria Z2 D6503 to Lollipop. everything is smooth and great. one small issue though, i somehow prefer the kitkat version of the email app. deleting messages by selecting the day was so much easier. In lollipop i am having to delete messages one at a time. is there a way i can install a kitkat version of the email app.
the phone is stock and not rooted. your advice is appreciated.
thanks
Ashish
I think you are on wrong thread, but anyways I think that you cant switch it without root.

Hello, I have (little) question about the following:
I have updated my phone to a Android 4.3 ROM, now i really want the Sony Walkman app, and the sony album app and movies,
I searched for a flashable ZIP, and found something, I flashed it, i saw the apps, but the only thing what was working was the Movies app, ( i got Sony Walkman has stopped working, When opening) and i guess it is because i am at Android 4.3,
Are there any ways to get Xperia Walkman app on Android 4.3?
Also another question: If i already have 4.3 on my phone, do i need to flash the FTF Files for 4.3 again etc. ( and wipe everything etc.)
( i know normally you dont have to, because you are already at that Android version, but now because of this is 4.3, an unreleased version, i was wondering if this was the case too, because i dont know if all ROMS are sharing one Android version, or if every rom uses a different one
Thanks for helping me out!

Hi, if anyone could help me it'd be much appreciated i have tried two different roms running the new 4.3 sony firmware but in both cases my phone seems to stay awake with android os being at the top of the battery drain list. for some reason or the other i is not allowing the phone to sleep, i believe it may be kernel related but am unsure. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone know of a way to fix this. any help would be much appreciated

Thank you for your quick response but that won't fix it as as far as I know I'm the only one having this problem on a freshly flashed fw with not even my Google account set up
I'm having the same problem.
At the moment it's on 57% of resources used. While the one below is only at 14%.
It's not all the time though... Some days it uses this much and other days it's just normal

Personally I would like to see something similar to what BetteryBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector show. On the main screen show Google Services, but when we click it for more information it would be nice to see a breakdown of exactly what service within Google Services is using up the CPU, battery, etc ,not only u have this issue even ur using google apps or not its still working on background .so, i disabled "Google Play Services", cleared the cache of all Google Related Apps, also Uninstalled All Google Related Apps, and it seems to solve the issue...:fingers-crossed:
Fasbook and Chrome drains the battery also really much. Delete all share apks and social engines with Titanium Backup or a root browser. Before I deleted some apks I don't had more than 3.5 hours Screen on time. Now every time 4+ hours. Once up to 5.5 hours.
Bloatware drains the Battery really much.
And yeah mtayabkk is right, Greenify some apps.

see i think that may be why im using a c6602 so
I have a similar problem, still trying to figure out what's causing it.
Conclusion
Ok guys ive drawn to a conclusion that the c6603 ftf file just does not go well with the c6602 model, maybe because of the radio of the c6603 model using LTE. But im not sure so if anyone with a c6602 phone wants 4.3 without battery drain youll just have to wait till sony releases it and someone makes an ftf of it
Never mind guys I reset back to 4.2.2 with ftf factory reset there flashed existence z then the stripped.ftf and now I seem to be getting no problem anyway thanks for all the suggestions
Hi everybody,
This is my 1st thread. After try to find a solution from this forum, I decide to post my question here. Currently using Xperia V 4.3 .210 custom ROM from Steve Boss. My predictive dialer not working for a 2nd time after flash this ROM. At 1st, I believe I made a mistake to uninstall a few apk files in system app folder. I can't remember what apk file did I delete. Then, I decide to re-flash my ROM and the predictive dialer working again. I start uninstalling unwanted apps again but this time I'm doing it very carefully. Every apps deleted, I'll check this feature whether it affected or not. After finish uninstalling all unwanted app from my phone, I test again if predictive dialer stop working or not. Everything is okay.
But after a few days later, today I notice this feature not working again. Hopefully somebody can assist me how to make it working again without flash a ROM. Thank you.

1. Re-install sonyericsson.android.smartsearch.apk or Smartsearch.apk from a back-up.
or
2. Use EXDialer from the Play Store. It doesn't need Smart Search (at least not until 4.2, I can't say for 4.3 but I don't know why it wouldn't be the same).

Thank you so much bro. Yes I uninstalled the smartsearch apk without knowing it also relate to contact search. I always thought it is only for google internet searching. Just now, I opt to try Exdialer. After a few second, I can notice this app much faster than stock app. Stock app will take maybe 1 second to open. Thank so much for your help.

Emulation || Running Lollipop 5.0 ROM on a Jellybean 4.2.2 device
Gentlemen,
I am a Gionee Elife E7 user. It runs on Jellybean 4.2.2. I wish to run this Lollipop 5.0 ROM on my E7.
But I dont want to flash it. Instead, I want to emulate it on my device. Like the same way how many people have run Windows XP on their Android device without actually disturbing the ROM installed on the device. I want to run this ROM on my Jellybean device. I guess this is known as Emulation.
Kindly provide help on this and the procedures required to do the same.

This is not possible, and no one has been able to "emulate" Windows XP on Android. Windows is closed-source and Windows XP does not work on ARM, only on x64/x86 architectures. And yes I know you're talking about emulation, but what you're saying is unrealistic of doing a virtual machine on your phone to a newer version of Android.
Google Now anytime
Is there a way to enable this on this rom? This is a nice feature and these options are grayed out under the google now settings.
Anyone else on sprint only have 1x after flashing this or is it just me
Voice in Google Now / Battery Life
Hey,
Does the Google Now Voice activation work with the screen off in this ROM? and what kind of battery life are you all getting on it?
Is there a way to flash this without having Google music thinking my phone is a new device? Thanks in advance.

I don't think so
I think there is a way to back up and restore the android device Id in titanium but I'm not sure of the procedure. I can find it on line but I was hoping some one who has successfully done it can attest to it working.
If you have titanium set to backup its data to the SD card the first time you launch it after flashing it will give you a pop up that says that the id has changed and asks if you want to change it back. Hit yes and the phone will reboot and it'll have the old id. Alternatively I think you can manage id's in titaniums settings as well
Yup I was just playing with that. But are we sure that will keep Google music from tagging the phone as a new device? Thanks again.
Can anyone confirm that restoring the android id stops Google music from recognizing the rom/phone as a new device? I hear this proposed as a solution but I've never heard that it actually works.
Loose call sound when i turn off touch sounds in settings. Comes right back up when i turn touch sounds back on. Not able to hear people I'm calling.

Fixed, thanks InstigatorX! Edited build.prop and the HDR+ option comes back to the stock camera app. Taking photos with it works fine, no FC.

I'm using the Gmail app for all my e-mails, no issues there. I don't have an exchange e-mail though, we use google apps for our mail at work.

I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix or not. But after I install everything I deleted velvet out of the priv-app folder rebooted my phone. Then download Google search from the play store and moved it from data to system(priv-app) and rebooted again. I know have ok Google on lock screen and all. Also aside note if you try to leave search just installed on data side it will not allow you to do any thing besides ok Google in the search app. You have to move to system to get full function.

I tried this and can't seem to re-install it from the play store. I get a -505 error during install. Tried clearing play store cache and clearing cache from recovery. Any ideas?
hello everyone,
a few days ago i installed the MolterMotherBoard rom on my dads P880 because it was suuuuper slow on the stock rom. Everything works well and the cellphone is so much faster!
Before flashing i performed a backup with the stock lg app and titanium. Titanium just saved the installed apps though. The notes of the stock notes app were not saved. Is there any possibility to get them on the new rom? they were also uploaded onto google drive, i cant find them in there though. they are hidden in a "secret" folder i guess.
do you think the stock notes app from 4.4.2 will work on 5.1.1? if you think so it would be really nice if you could upload it for me, ive been searching for it for hours, but couldnt find anything.
greetings!
