Stock Rom 4.4.2 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I have been searching for stock rom and I have found a lot of link that rooted or edited by someone. But I want non-modificated, original 4.4.2 Rom. The reason I want to go back kitkat is I am not satisified my battery life on android 5 or 7 I tried several roms but nothing. My battery drains faster and calibration does not work(I don't know if I am doing correctly). So I thought maybe I should go back to kitkat. Please help

[Q] Upgrade Issues

Hi All,
I am posting this as I have had issues upgrading my LG 2x from Stock GB. I have tried all upgrades stock ICS ROM, CMs, and other mod ROMs. I have changed basebands, Bootloaders amongst other things. I always have had issues after upgrades, most common of all if massive battery drain (I'm talking 10% an hour).
I have tried CM10.1 by Tonyp last night and had the same problem of battery drain. I was using old BL. Another issue that I faced was some of the apps did not work on mobile data but only on wifi (like Gmail, facebook and Google search)
I was wondering if anyone else had same issues with trying to upgrade and were you able to resolve the issue. Any help/guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Hello my friend,
First, are you on ICS or JB now? Old or New Bootloader? Frankly, it is just on convenience...old or new does not have anything special.
Second, you should try a Custom Kernel like Kowalski Kernel for CM 10/10.1/10.2 or Civz / Kind of Birds Kernel/ KK for ICS which will have a major difference towards the battery drain. I use KK126 and I have atleast 3hours+ screen on time...which is more than good for me.
Third, ICS / JB consumes higher battery than the GB...so, dont expect the same battery performance like GB.
Fourth, have you checked your access points on your mobile data settings....settings/call/more/mobile networks/access points (for ICS settings)? check if you are using the correct one of your service provider...check google if you need the correct one for you.
Five, if you are not able to update on ICS, then try a NVflash method (check the link in my signature for the correct thread) and my personal choice would always be the All In One Tool Kit by Spyrosk. You can always get the KDZ file from google and then use the AIOT to flash it....or search the NVflash method Stock ROMs by Stefan or Homero or Topogigi.
after nvflashing the Stock, you can always get root, CWM or TWRP, then a Custom ROM+Kernel...and get there
Last, GOOGLE is one of the best providers of searches and answers
If you still need some answers, then the forum is always open...or you can PM me
Thanks for the understanding. Hope this helps

4.3 has the best performance for my phone :laugh:
I must admit that i'm finding 4.3 a little sluggish in comparison to 4.1.2.
I also think that there's less display options to play around with. I can't find a way of removing all lock-screen widgets. The one for the camera still appears even when disabled.
I'm also not keen on all the settings menus now being white as its very garish, but thats just a personal thing, and i'm sure I could get a theme to sort that out.
Not seeing any change in battery life, but thats not a bad thing.
I'm also finding that my internet browser crasher more now too.
4.3 is too damn slow
Don't go for the 4.3 update. wait a little time maybe sony will start to iron out the bugs because as of now it is unusable.
I recommend you stay on 4.1 a little longer ... maybe go straight to 4.4.
Forgot to add, the keyboard has been improved and once you get used to the change in predictive text it can be a lot quicker.
Must admit I am toying with the idea of going back to 4.1.
i am using existenz 4.3 rom, its like a butter... :good:
I have 4.3 and I am happy with this update. My phone is way faster, the apps are running and starting a bit smoother so no problems there.
The reported bugs; I HAVENT HAD ANY ONE ENCOUNTERD YET!
Yes the only one I can get is not working Bravia Engine2 but other than that is the update good.
If you are not sure what to do you can always come back to 4.1.2 if you want.
The link about flashing with flashtool can be found in my signature
Quick question though
Does the official backup and restore app works across android versions?
If I have backups from v. 4.1, would they will work in v. 4.3?
Thanks
if u a heavy user and prever stock rom, go for 4.3. in stock 4.1, memory management is main problem 4 me (CM/cm based rom is good memory management, but iam prever sony stock rom). im sure, if u not heavy user, u wont buy xsp . the only issues iam faced till now something my xsp out of memory like this, no solution except reboot (sorry 4 my bad english)
@warok88
I have this problem too,but few days ago i find solution and fix without root!
I like 4.3!
Miui , android 4.2.2 - old, but best if u dont playing 3d games
I´m using 4.3 with DooMKenel and I don´t have problems with ram or freezes, and you can use roms like cyagenonmod for android 4.4.2 or eXistenZ Ultra if you want a rom based on stock firmware

Battery drain issue

Hello everybody, first please apologize me for my bad english.
I've my S3 since one year and a drain of my battery appears randomly.
I've noticed this problem with all my batteries : i used official 2100mah and 3000mah from Samsung but the issue is the same.
I've tried a lot of custom roms (cyanogenmod, stock, amcha, ...) in 4.1.2 or 4.3 and stock, agni and boeffla kernel and the problem is still there.
This night, i've put my phone on flight mode, there was no wacklocks, i'm on stock rom in 4.3 and as you can see in the screenshoot, device idle and android os were draining battery very hard.
What's your opinion about that ?
Thanks for helping me

Hi,
Are you sure there is no wakelock ? Did you use an app like BetterBatteryStats (or others) to check this ? You should try to reproduce with this kind of apps installed and then post screenshots of BetterBatteryStats (for instance) for each type of stats (Other, kernel WL, Partial WL, Alarms, Network ,etc.)
By the way, I advise you to post screenshots in english if you want to be understood by everyone.
I had drastic battery draining issues when i installed 4.3 update (from 4.1.2)
It was draining 40% of battery overnight even on flight mode.
Then i flashed 4.4.4 stock rom and its working perfectly ok now.
Only 2% of battery is reduced overnight on flight mode
Here is the link to 4.4.4 rom

Yes, before, with 4.3.x, I had the famous random mdm_hsic_pm0 stuck wakelock issue that was draining my battery.
Now, I'm also on 4.4.4 and no problem so far.
I'm now testing stock 4.4.4 and i haven't this issue yet.
Hope it will continue...
Thanks for your help :good:

Downgrade to kitkat from lollipop

Hi
i can downgrade my note to kitkat from lollipop without any problems?
I made root in lollipop...
Thanks
Yes, just have to find your phones kk firmware and flash through Odin.
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Ok
what the best stock version of kitkat to get the best battery life?
I install the israeli version and i get same battery life like lollipop
thanks
I would highly recommending installing the stock version of KitKat that is released for your country.
Yes, i've just done this myself. I got the phone last week, and in amongst all the other 9 million pop-ups that Samsung provide, I accidently pressed yes to upgrade to lollipop.
I ran it for a day and the lag was terrible, so I have now gone back to KitKat. As above, I just went for stock for my country. It seems a lot better now. Once they release another lollipop patch i'll update. It's a shame, as I still think my htc one m8 is slightly faster. It feels more responsive. Anyway, thats off topic.
As above, just use Odin. I'm new to modding Samsung devices really, but managed it easy enough following the various guides around.
Did you guys have to factory reset your device after the downgrade?
If so, does the Kies application backup function safe the application data (logged in accounts, safegames, application settings etc.) too?

Need some suggestion.

Hello Xda
Recently i have got Xperia z1 and it's really amzing and fast for me but there are some few question and problems i cant find solution.
1. My current android version is 4.3 i was thinking for lolipop and after searching i have found that Lolipop is a pathetic release for Z1, so i want to know that should i stay on 4.3 or downgrade to 4.2.2 or can i upgrade to kitkat ?? is it stable or worth upgrading.
2. When i turn on or off O2 logo came on my screen and some o2 apps installed. Well in my country if there is any kind of logo in mobile firmware its value decrease peoples think its a fake so is there any chance or way to remove this ? I'm familiar with rooting and have done a lot of on Nexus, Xperia P, S, Galaxy 1-2 etc etc.
Thanks in advance.
bump! still no reply
for the z1 there is both kitkat and lollipop update. I'd say update it, i like the update. If you're not really sure then first find the ftf file of the 4.3 version in case you'll want to downgrade back
is lolipop stable ??? as i visited a lot of thread and peoples are complaining about battery drain heatup issue and some features not working like xLoud xReality etc etc

If you want better battery life and dont care about the new Lollipop I suggest you update to 4.4.4 and stick with it until some "major updates" solve the heating issue and battery drain and slow charging of the lollipop version cause its really annoying, at least for me because i'm using my phone almost 7,8 hours a day using 3G,wifi,music player,and calling and Lollipop simply doesnt work for me because I have to constantly put my phone on charge, I mean its ridiculous when my phone discharge faster than its charge!
But on kitkat its almost on peak of the performance (considering the battery life)
You may update to 5 if youre not heavily using the phone but otherwise at present,the best choice is 4.4.4 (btw I'm using iHackers 6.2 with trinity kernel)
For second part you may flash any unbranded ftf rom so there is no more carrier logo

did you have those problems on stock unrooted lollipop from your country? cause i had battery drain only on prerooted while on stock "update with pc companion" the battery life was as kitkat for me

No I didn't try any prerooted rom just flashed stock ftf
Some guya suggest using phone for 2,3 days will improve battery life
I use it for 1 week even without root (pure stock) and no improve so far! So tail between legs I came back to KK!!
I can confirm that battery leak is only in "screen on"
Funny part is that stock LP use same battery as CM12 and for me there is no reason to choose stock over CM so I just got back to my previous combination!! using iHackers 6.2 alongside CM12 (Multirom)
Btw thanks fo reply bro
