[Q] [SOLVED] Recent Calls Widget on .230 Firmware

Not really a problem, but did some one else noticed that the "recent calls widget" is gone in .230 fw, or is it just me? Liked it really much.

Ok, have the Xposed Framework installed allready for gravity box and gem xperia, will try the superuser mod. Let's see if it works!

Be warned that the "superuser mod" disables signature verification in your rom. This is a very bad idea and a huge security risk. I see this superuser mod recommended everywhere and I believe it's part of a very popular rom and nobody ever explains the risks involved with using it.
I'd advise using the Xposed module "DisableSignatureCheck" to temporarily disable signature verification when installing modded system apps and immediately enable signature verification again afterwards.
Edit - I apologise for not reading correctly (it's early here lol). I incorrectly thought you were going to flash the Superuser mod. I see that it's also part of the Xperia Xposed module.
However you enable it, it's still very important that you make sure you disable the Superuser mod after you've used it. ?

I read allready about the superuser mod few weeks ago, didn't tried it till now. I'm happy so far with my ( finally updated ) rooted clean .230 fw, LB. The widget isn't sooo important, but would be nice to have it again.
Maybe some smart guy will port the widget from 4.3 for 4.4, i'm personally not able to do this. Let's see!

Don't get me wrong. It's fine to temporarily disable signature verification to install a system app that's from a trusted source like this, then enable it again afterwards. I'm saying that it's not wise or safe at all to have it disabled permanently. ?
I just noticed another rom has been released with this superuser mod integrated, with no mention of what it is or the implications of it to enable users to make an informed decision whether to use the rom or not. There are potentially hundreds of users of these roms that are unaware that they're using unsecured roms on their devices. ?

How to root Android L [SuperSU updated]

Hi Everyone, I just want to share this easy steps to root Android L.
Note: Android L is a Developer preview, it is not stable as the KitKat version and it is using ART runtime only, so not all apps are compatible.
Update: The v2.01 release fixes some incompatibility issues with the Android "L" Preview. There is no binary update over v2.00.

Google Play:

I recommend backup all your data/files in a PC, to avoid data loss. And don't blame me if you have a bootloop or stuck at boot logo.
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Boot into bootloader
For TWRP format cache first
Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Boot into recovery
Flash the SuperSU-v2.01.zip
Reboot
You now have root access.

At first I had a problem with wiping the caches via TWRP, but I had to flash supersu first then wipe the caches and now everything is up and running. Great job!

Confirmed. This is working! Nice job!

Try using Root Explorer. I have no issues with the read/write on the system

Everytime I try it says that the TWRP recovery image is too large. Any ideas?

I'm guessing this is the same as the other root method, where it roots your device, but some apps still don't work as root apps?
Titanium Backup is my main concern.

I agree. I saw your post in the preview thread. I haven't used your process and boot.img yet, but will soon.
Give this man the recognition man, the least you could do.

Can anyone explain what this means?
Are those commands I put into cmd?

Clearly your asking in the correct section. I think he means that this has already been covered in another post on the z3c forum, Anyway... Install the 2nd of the apk (the largest file size) follow on screen instructions and you should be good to go. Don't forget to enable v4a in settings too ?
Just FYI, I installed superior mode and works perfectly

I thought it was in the general section
Did you check if the driver is enabled? You can check that @ V4A settings.
I'm not sure if it works with Walkman, I tried it with Walkman and it seemed to work fine for me, or maybe i'm just crazy. I use PowerAmp myself.

Just root your device then go under developer settings and check enable oem unlock and flash twrp.

Bootloader is not locked, uncheck it in dev options then flash TWRP with flashify. Make sure and use the updated TWRP for T-Mobile only

Thanks I did not know that can't wait until some kickass roms kernals and camera mods come for this device

It works across all music apps. You need to install the viper for lollipop apk and install the driver. Install SELinux mode changer and change to permissive. That should be all you need, but if it doesn't work go to developer options and check use awesome player instead of nuplayer...

It's an easy question to me SELunix no permissive in my cel so I can't install viper I used to have it and it's awesome... If you can't but Dolby it's Ah right

How to update xposed

Hi. I have cm12.1 and I use xposed framework v84, I saw there is an update to v85. Should I just flash the zip to get xposed updated? I don't know if there is a risk with modules on.
Thank you!

Just flash v85 and wipe cache&dalvik afterwards. That's it.

As an addition to this question, I have a LG v10 which requires an additional file to be flashed with Xposed in order to keep the second screen from crashing during a call. Would that file need to be reflashed due to upgrading?

V84 and above no longer need the second screen fix, since LG's encrypted apps are now supported.
