System UI (or Launcher) keeps auto-restarting after a while - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it only me or something wrong with LP? After upgrading to LP 5.0.2 (using Flashtool), System UI (or Launcher, or something else, I'm not pretty sure) just keeps auto-restarting after a while. The screen just becomes blank, moment later application icons show up. Applications seem to be reloaded (e.g. keyboard is loading for a moment before it shows up). It was working pretty nice before (KK).
Any help?
For the record, I'm using C6903 14.5.A.0.270 CE rooted, locked BL, odexed (original stock downloaded using XperiFirm). Also got xposed 3.0 alpha4 installed with following modules: Disable Desk Dock, Greenify

This is a bug on z1's lollipop
Best solution is to backup ur ta and unlock bl and install cm12.1

C'mon is there any way else? I dont really wanna unlock bl and install custom roms. I know some custom roms are really nice but i'd rather stick with stock

any help?

I have the same problem, doesnt happen on kitkat tho
Anyway, i dont expect it to be fixed, the z1 never been good at multitasking

I'm using Z1 (C6903 270 TW FTF) with del useless APP + Xposed Work fine NO issue

Because of high lowmemorykiller value, launcher and UI will restart frequently. You can try to flash init.d tweaks to adjust your lowmemorykiller value, and it will solve your problem.

Hi,
I suggest you trying at least a custom launcher with Lock In Memory feature. I was facing this issue and it was really becoming annoying, then I installed Xposed Module to do a small fix on Lollipop Memory leak (if you don't mind rooting it's a great option). And installed NOVA Launcher with hat feature.
All the best,

I'd love to try this, but any recommendation about lowmemorykiller value?

So u mean the xposed lollipop memory leak fix could solve the problem? but i heard that Z1 Lollipop stock already included this fix? mine already rooted and got xposed installed so I won't mind getting that fix if it solves my problem.

You're lucky then

@boydzethuong
1. For LMK> use 3C Toolbox from Play Store, set Android OOM at aggresive mode and enable set on boot (not init.d).
2. For launcher> use App Settings Beta, search it @ app Settings thread, used for Lollipo, not L 5.1.1
Enable resident for your current launcher and reboot.

memory leak has been fixed in 5.1. I'd wait it out til 5.1 is rolling out on the z1. can't take that much lunger 'til then. couple of weeks max (i hope)

OK, so to summarize, just like u guys I am having trouble with memory leak, which people said a fix had already been included in sony stocks BUT it didn't really fix the issue at all. correct? Then i'd go with: wait for 5.1
For those who are using xposed, yesterday I was about trying to uninstall xposed to see if I had any luck getting rid of the issue. However, I found a new version (v70) so I decided to flash it first then clear davik-cahce... and you know what... it seems to be working normally now. No lowmemorykill so far (yet?). Will pay a few more days see if it somehow solves the issue. You might wanna give it a try.
Cheers

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

Xposed - Someone installed it?

Just received my brand new Z3,but already feeling the itch for some customization.
Someone already tried playing around with xposed?
It is fully working or at least some features?
Thanks
After rooting/bootloader unlocking the phone, I installed Xposed. It works well. I use the following:
App Settings - I made systemUI (and most of my non-sony apps) 240 dpi.
GravityBox (smaller nav bar, orange icons, replacement battery, AM/PM removal, 3 dot on nav bar right, search on nav bar left.
Tinted Status bar
Xperia Xposed - installed but I decided not to use anything
Please note, per conversations on general, unlocking the bootloader will irreversibly worsen the camera's low-light picture quality and kill native miracasting/chromecasting ability linked to Sony's DRM keys
I'm using tons of Xposed modules and I couldn't live without it. It's one of the greatest pieces of software ever written and I'll stay away from Android L until Xposed works on it. i never felt the urge to use CM or another rom since I'm using Xposed, GravityBox alone is such a mighty module that it replaces a plethora of third party rom features.
It's really hard to live without Xposed after having it for so long on my Moto X. I'm just not willing to lose the camera quality by unlocking the BL. Of course, there are other things I'm itching to do as well with root (like freezing and deleting lots of useless apps that suck battery!)
I am using xposed with
- xstana module
- tinted status bar
- gravity box
Everything works perfectly!

I don't mind losing some of the camera quality either, I believe that people will either find a way to reverse the process, or make something better.
I'm just waiting till I can backup my TA partition.

I istalled Xposed and run xled, xquiet hours and cyan lock screen the lose of the cameras low light abilty is not a big problem i use camera fv5 and change the iso settings
So no way in hell to get root without unlocking the bootloader?
i was using pie controls from gravitybox with navbar disabled, but i found out that pie doesn't appear when using camera with physical button with phone in standby.... anyone can confirm this?
I use XBlast and Xposed LED Control.
Both works fine. What does NOT work is GravityBox. But why? Can someone help me?
When trying to start it, it says "GravityBox System Framework does not answer" in german. in english perhaps its something like "cant retrieve System Framework data" or something like that.
It doesn matter how often i try, always the same error message

You need to enable it in Module and restart phone. After that you can do what you want! In Download section, you can find more module with search filter by typing: xperia

I think gravity Box can not handle sonys ui. Had it before on lg g2 stock rom. Just some features worked. Keep in mind that gb is actually for vanilla kitkat(aosp,maybe cm)
GB worked fine for me on the Z1C, but eventually some features require a deodexed rom. I've always been using RomAur.

I did not mean you have to enable xposed installer. I said: you have to enable GravityKK module by tick the box, do nothing more, restart the phone first. After that you can config without any framework message error!
xposed works great

and its workign great!

Yes and as i said, i used Xposed before. what i want to say with that is : I know how Xposed works and how to use it. I know that you have to "activate" modules with the checkbox.
still, GB won't work.

Try force-closing the keyboard and re-opening again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, but you can give it a shot. Had the same problem with my xperia u when it was running honami moonwalker rom.

I run stock 4.3 rooted with no other mods and don't experience this, though I have removed most bloatware from the system. The ram is almost certainly the issue, our 4.3 has poor ram management-unfortunately not much can be done with stock kernel. Anyway as |>/\nte said force stop the keyboard and clear it's data and cache. If the issue still persists then remove bloatware from the system and any other un-required apps.

I had this same frustrating issue on 4.3 on almost all keyboards. I tried stock, swiftkey, swype. Ended up flashing a custom rom (kitkat) and it's gone.

[Q] Home restarting problem

Before update to kitkat, I never had this problem.
But since updated I face the problem that when I press home the launcher keep restating, like a famous issue that happen to Galaxy S3
The cause of this is RAM is run out of space. I tried limit numbers of apps but it is still happening. Factory reset isn't work either.
Has anyone faces this problem too ? and is there anyway to fix this ?
Flashtool and make a fresh install, but be sure to save all your data on Pc, or make a backup with recovery
Already done that. Still the same.
Have you flash your specific model baseband, with a official rom?
Can you post more info about your phone model, baseband, bootloader, etc?
Im experiencing the same problem all the time... I just taught it was because i have tons of root stuff and Xposed modules and such... I havent done reset due im waiting for Lollipop, but yeah good that im not the only one !
Facing same problem and feels like that since installing a lot of stuff, and perhaps exposed too

It's a very usual behaviour from Android, because LMK too high or you use too much RAM for Foreground Apps.
To fix that, you have 2 ways:
1. Change OOM Priority via service.jar or change LMK
or
2. Using Xposed Framework, install App Settings and choose Home and tick Resident, save
Hope it's help you

Done, seems ok now, ill report if it starts restarting again !
I'll give his a try too, looks good
has been working for over a week now ! thank you !
Are there any bad side effects, of using xposed app settings module to keep these things resident in ram?

Yeah, if your home crashed you will always have a blank screen, you must force close it or replace to another launcher app or deactive Xposed Framework

Improve performance after Android Pie update?

Hi guys. I have a non rooted moto z3 play, with a locked bootloader. It just updated to android 9 (pie) and its alright but I've experienced way too much lag when i tried to use a live wallpaper (only a few was laggy, not all of them) and yes I've factory reseted it after the update. I tried to wipe dalvik cache but apparently that option is not available on z3. I was thinking about root but I dont wanna go through the trouble of unlocking booloader and loose all my data again lol. Is there a way to improve the performance without root? and if not, is there a way to do so with root? Because I haven't rooted a phone in years and i dont really remember the tools anymore.
thanks
Hey I have this problem on Oreo. (Haven't got the pie update yet.) Just download Nova launcher and it won't lag anymore.

Thanks but the problem persists even with nova launcher (I have the premium version). Tried to tweak the animations a bit but still feels like something is holding back the performance you know.
