As you all know there is an inbuilt applocker in emui and a pretty good one too.
But the one that is in emui 8 at least in my phone has a certain bug.
It shows and allows me to lock every single app I've installed except messenger.
It does not even show up in the list shown in the applocker.
This annoys me as I'm gonna have to install another third party applocker which'll consume more ram and affect the performance of the phone.
Now let me tell you that i'd installed a custom ROMs and then reverted back to complete stock. I had this issue then when I got the phone and still have it now.So I'm pretty sure it's a bug.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I really like the inbuilt applocker

1.Consuming too much power and affecting battery life.
2.Scrolling is very noisy so need too much repolish user interface.Project butter isn't works. Every application is not smooth e.g - in clock move from world clock to timer breaks, home screen, gallery, slide show is bad.
3.Some applications run in background always live in notification bar eg - Uc Web background download always shows in notification bar "Uc Web is running tap to more information "
4. Bugs with Blutooth, wifi, nfc
5. With this operating system applications run problematic not perfectly like chrome
6. Old camera UI was excellent - excellent..look and functionality.New UI looks very very bad and decreased quality.
7.Problem with video recording.
8. New Keyboard app is very very bad We want old keyboard.
9. Ram management is bad.

Dude..!! Y don't u just downgrade it and forget it..
None of your above stated problems is being faced (atleast by me)
A cure for you ---- To fix it, Read it.. Just don't Post it, to Blame it.. Got it?
De-bloat/ Kill apps u don't use or never ever use. Battery life on 4.3 is insane runs all day for me with 20-25% drainage (average call, texts, emails on exchange) no issues at all. (Root it / Calibrate the battery for actual reading). Project butter does what it is suppose to. No lags at all. U need Lag Fix. Use Adblocker kill stupid apps delete system apps (only if u r aware of what u r deleting).
No bugs at all with Bluetooth/ wifi or NFC I use all of them in daily life and works like a charm. In other words now I can skype on wifi instead on 4g LTE (on my BB Q10) on 4.2.2 I faced too many problems. Chrome was recently updated and stable now.
For the rest release your stress and go for a different device.

Good Luck!

Before going back to 4.2 try to flash again 4.3 because you are the only one who experience problems.
Hello people.
I recently bought an xperia z1. A very nice phone which works really well, except for a few things. Hence this topic.
I experience good battery life and quite fast loading of apps etc, but i notice that scrolling inside some apps goes stuttery and laggy. Something i didn't expect from a phone with this kinda hardware. Ecspecially phonebook, call log and gmail have problems with this, just like facebook for example.
Now the questions.
Is this a thing that will be fixed in a future firmware release? And if i install a custom rom using a something like doomkernel, will this issue be better?
It really bothers me somehow, and i don't mind unlocking the bootloader to fix this issue. But if i'm not sure that it will fix this stutter and lag, i think it might not be worth it getting problems etc with warranty.
Thanks in advance for answering
Yes, it can be improved. There is not fix on that and no one can said perfectly what is related too. I got some light laggy launcher but i live with that as it do more stuff than the stock one.
So, if you find an application laggy is not the phone, is the application it self which is badly coded and don't working correctly as it should.
I give you an example, I have Virtua Tennis purchased long time ago, V2.0, then updates after updates the game become laggy as hell, what that mean, that mean updates are ment to improve the application but if they are bad coded they will give you laggy issues, I reverted to v2.0.
At the end I don't think a Firmware will solve all this problems but you can be sure, you will get improvements installing Custom Roms or Custom Kernels which are ment to performing your device.
I don't saying it is worth to unlock bootloader, check also the applications which working in background, all the time they are the main reason for laggy phone as they run and eat ram and CPU.
You have to spend time flashing some latest FW and find the most stable combination.

Thanks for the quick answer!
And what you're saying about the background apps eating ram and cpu, i was thinking the same thing. I notice the lag is random, sometimes it goes quite fluent and sometimes its like i'm working with a phone that can't handle the os because of low specs. Really weird. Is there any tool that gives detailed insight into these background apps and stuff?
The main thing bothering me is the phone/phonebook/call log app which is delivered from sony itself. It's just text, and even that makes the scrolling in that app very stuttery. While i get updates for apps like album, and the scrolling inside that app goes smooth as silk. Just like scrolling within chrome (although it sometimes hangs for a very short moment).
And btw. rooting and deodexing without unlocking the bootloader, will that help too? I guess there's tools that make better performance too then. Or is working with unlocked bootloader better?

Yes, there is an application which check what application wake up your phone or running when the phone is in sleep or even when it should be off but is not. At the moment I don't remember that application as I never used that one, but I know there is as it was mentioned many times for the same reason and battery drain.

Root your phone will definitely help in many ways as many Applications to check your system need Root access, and also if you find an system app that cause your issues and uninstalling is necessary then Root is needed too. Deodexing can improve the customization as it meant for it but is not for performance, so is just up to you if you want to do it or not. There is no tool which will improve performance on your phone, my personal opinion they are all junk application, like the kind of System cleaner. Android is not Windows.
Rooting and Deodexing can be done without Unlocking Bootloader. Unlocking Bootloader is for flash Custom Kernels only. You still can flash Custom Roms based on Stock Kernels.
I'm really thinking of doing that right now. Also because of scrolling cache, which i think might be the cause for the issue i'm having trouble with.
Do you know something about it?

Not really but that kind of stuff it can not be done without Root, I guess.
Where did you find the information about it?

I noticed that custom roms like romaur and ihackers included that mod. Then i looked it up on google and found some articles which said that many apps have a bad way of handling that cache. I also don't have any experience with other firmwares than the unrooted 4.4.2. Hence my question.
Now i'm also thinking that sony puts alot of effort into optimizing apps for this purpose with new devices, maybe that's why i hear that the 4.2.2 experiences are much better than the newest 4.4.2. But that can also be a bit negative thinking, since i still got hope that future firmwares will make scrolling through call log/phonebook or gmail better.
Although on my old xperia s i noticed the same. With the 4.1 firmware installed, the facebook app scrolled alot better then the with the updates that came after it. Just like stock browser always been the best scroller. Unlike chrome and firefox for example. On my z1 chrome clearly is the best scroller btw, just hangs sometimes. But then it's on long facebook pages etc. Otherwise its very fluent.
IT JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE !

The only reason i want EMUI 9 is because this issue is fixed there.
And not for the "Pie features" in there.
Sarcasm intended.
The problem is solved on emui 9 because the ram management is so aggressive no apps stick around long enough to consume much battery!
I think I had that notification disabled in my device since I'm pretty annoyed too. In my case, it was facebook messenger. Sadly I can't remember how I was able to remove it but I'm sure I found a fix for that just by googling.
You can set power intensive app notifications to off in the settings..
How is the rom in terms of battery usage, performance, UI? What major bugs are you facing?
The default stuff (phone, messages) works very well, no problems as long as you use Nubia's stuff. If you want to use Google Phone or Textra, you have to setup the notifications and even after that, there are times when you don't get notified.
After a lot of tries, I couldn't change the default launcher. If I use something else, I lose the recents (button or gesture), it doesn't work anymore.
Apart from these problems, it runs perfect.
Performance and battery life wise, it's about the same.
Any new problems since your last update?
No new problems and no visible improvers. I would like to know what the update was about, but unfortunately they don't translate the release notes in English..
The new system update isn't much, but it's pretty neat, although it does have its caveats. Apart from a major OS update based on Android 13 and some minor tweaks, not much has changed. Though there are some new features that Xiaomi had promised. Based on optimised system resources that reduce the amount of storage space the system takes up, although it is quite negligible. The amount of virtual memory has been increased from two gigabytes to three gigabytesNew wallpapers have been added to the Themes application. There have also been minor tweaks to the system icons. In the privacy section, some options have been restored. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that a new feature has been added to the privacy section called Android System Intelligence. Oh, and if you're wondering where the game launcher is, it's in the security application, I don't know why they hid it there. There is also a new feature in the Notes app, which is the sketch function. Oh, and most importantly for this section, the security patch has been updated to the 1st of May.
Now for the caveats: first and foremost, not much has changed other than the operating system itself. Secondly, the camera app is rather buggy when it comes to recording video, and although this can be circumvented by using a third-party application, it's still an annoyance. I also experienced overheating and draining the battery.
What do you think of the new update?
Also, if you're wondering how I managed to install the beta system update when my boot loader is locked, I found a way to bypass the system update menu.

Do you think this is the fault of Android 13 itself??? I found a similar problem in PE too...

Remove miui.powerkeeper via ADB
All this MIUI "optimizing" is total crap. I always revoke all authorizations for all the MIUI crap in the Password&Security menu. With this the OS runs acceptable.
has anyone had any problems with org.codeaurora.ims? I got a battery draining issue with that app, still on MIUI 13.

that makes it better, but far away from good.. alternative OS is the solution... currently on Lineage and its way better... or downgrade to Android 11, which is even better (even on MIUI) in terms of background process killing...
