Why not just stick with stock? I've tried many custom ROMs during my "flashaholic" days - but have always ended up back at stock because : most of the custom ROMs have issues some apps won't work if your tablet is rooted Still enjoying my Tablet Z after 4 years of ownership :good: I can't...

This kind of reply just makes my want to scream. :mad: It's like saying "These tyres are great on all cars (but only Diesels)" or "This app works great on all smartphones (iOS only)". How can you say "all firmwares" then qualify it by saying "pollux" :confused:

I bought this phone 15 months ago for 4 main reasons : Larger secreen than my previous phone stereo front-facing speakers design low price During that time it hasn't given me any problems and has done everything I wanted from it. So, OK, it hasn't got the very latest Android "upgrade", but if...

The listing says "Upgrade available..." So it's out already? Where do you get it?

I've been thinking of moving to The Dark Side (Apple). But honestly, in 2016 and for a heck of a lot of money, iPhone 7 has no wireless charging and I don't think you'll find it "Fast" when it comes to charging it by wire... (no fast charge :( ) Have a read of this before you buy.

Much the same experience for me. Very happy with the phone for the price (I paid UK £300 in December 2015). Still amazed at the sound quality from the speakers. Fast charging too. I also had the horizontal lines problem about a month ago - thought the phone had died but a reboot solved it. Has...

Interesting, but that's CM. I think people on this thread are wanting stock.

Got this ^ update today (UK , 17th June 2016). Still 6.0, but better than nothing - I had given up hope of any more updates. So maybe 6.0.1 by Christmas? :rolleyes:

Not all 1572s have had the update. I'm in the UK with a ret (retail - no carrier) model and still no update :crying: Feeling quite let down.

Exactly. I've been in flash re-hab for 5 months. Come on Lenovo, don't let me turn back to being a flashoholic :eek: It's May already - where's our 6.0.1?

Yes - very annoying. I've had my Moto for 5 months now and so far (unlike with all my previous smartphones) I've resisted using a custom ROM. :angel: ...but this wait for 6.0.1 is pissing me off to the extent I'm thinking of unlocking the bootloader and installing some other ROM. :mad: Come on...

I use a small soft-bristled artist's paint brush and just lightly brush over the speaker slots while gently blowing on them. I wouldn't go blasting compressed air at them - may do some damage?

When you look at the pros (other replies above) and cons (have to unlock bootloader, so you void your warranty), I'm no longer convinced there is a great deal of benefit in rooting the phone. In the last 5 years this is my 4th android phone and it's the 1st one I haven't bothered to root. I...

Have you checked if Mazda have issued a software update ? I know the car is a 2016 model, but often the factory loaded software is already out-of-date. I bought a new BMW in 2014, and there was already a bluetooth software update available on the BMW website, adding compatibility for a lot more...

..er, isn't that a specific model :confused: :) ;)

I have seen this discussed somewhere on these forums. From what I recall, 1) The LED is a single colour - white 2) For those who've got it to come on for notifications, so far it is "solid on" only - no blinking/flashing. I know we have Moto Display, but you still have to be very near the phone...

I think it's due to a combination of factors, such as : 1) The popularity of the phone/ manufacturer. These figures show Lenovo/Motorloa in 5th place for sales, having a 3.7% market share in Q3 2015 2) The OS (Android) has improved a lot over recent years, to the extent where a lot of people...

Thanks to both of you for clearing that up :good: dustin_b : I know what you meant. I'll have to make a decision when I get the phone about unlocking the bootloader straight away, or leaving it a while (and loosing all my data). Have to say, after years of flashing custom ROMs on various...

Anything to back-up before bootloader unlock? HI guys, Getting myself a Moto X Style/Pure soon. Is there anything I should do (like a backup) before I unlock the bootloader? Reason I ask is I'm coming from an Xperia Z2 and made the mistake of not backing up the Z2's "TA partition" before...

Xperia Hebe theme ? Hi, Been using this ROM for a few weeks now - very good :good: One silly question - My friend also has a z2 and likes the Xperia Hebe theme that came with this ROM (it's actually listed as a downloaded theme) - but where (or how) can he get it ? Thanks

Thanks for throwing some light on this. I wonder if you have to update the Stagefright Detector app to see it? (I re-installed the app)

Stagefright Vulnerable? Hi, Just did a clean install (Full wipe / Factory reset) of V9 of this ROM. When I run the Zimperium Stagefright Detector app, it says my phone is vulnerable, highlighting CVE-2015-6602. I thought .232 was supposed to sort this out. Any ideas what is going on :confused:

V8 Hi Rajeev Thanks for this ROM, I've been using it for a few days now with no problems (LB) :good: I've seen you mention V8 - I'm just curious if it will be based on build 232 or 200? Looking at Jackos post here, it seems there's a lot more in 232 than just a stagefright fix.

Recovery not yet available in lollipop. Unfortunately, by installing lollipop you loose recovery...so there's no easy way back :( In a nutshell, you must go back to a kit-kat ROM, root it (e.g. install .283, then install .230 KERNEL ONLY and force towel root from flash tool. Then install 283...

Perhaps more people bought the 311?

That's because it should be "dual recovery".

najoor : Thanks - worked fine for me :good:

Actually, your English is OK, apart from when you say "pool" instead of "poor". ;)

Also causes bootloops on Tablet Z with .454 Lollipop :( Other Tablet Z users reporting same problem. Hope we "Z" users get a working Lollipop recovery :fingers-crossed:

Any chance ? niaboc79, Thanks yet again for this great work :good: I guess everyone has their own preferences...but is there any chance of getting options to: Use standard Lollipop symbols in Nav bar? Hide icon labels on home screen? I appreciate you've put a great effort into providing this...

No problem here. Installed fine using TWRP. :) I was installing over a .726 ROM. I did full wipe / factory reset, then flashed .28 zip then followed instructions linked in OP and flashed kernel & baseband from ftf using flashtool. All OK :good:

For God's sake, please close the thread NOW :eek:

ondrejvaroscak , mionica : I've been following this thread since it started. For me it's been like reading a detective story or an episode of Aircrash Investigation where we find, from hard work and logical investigation, the answer to (or cause of) a problem. I may not understand all the code...

Just the fix.

See this thread

Thanks Ευχαριστώ ;)

Hi. Tried following your tutorial but in the links you provide: Link 4 is a duplicate of link 3 (both point to the Xposed for lollipop XDA thread) Link 5 has been disabled by google due to "violation of terms & conditions"

Have a look at this guide for installing a CM ROM

Yes, you're right, there is a slight flicker of the notification/quick toggle drop-down - but I hadn't even noticed it until you mentioned it. If it is annoying, I think niaboc79 has provided an apk to give a basic "Close" button in recents - this may work better as it is designed for Z2 Lollipop.

Original download worked for me I had niaboc79 stock rooted .690 with zxz0O0 recovery fix and Nut dual recovery and Xposed for lollipop and SuperSU installed. I then flashed the original deodexed ROM posted in the OP (Wipe Dalvik/cache, flash zip, wipe Dalvik/cache, reboot) - No problems. In...

Tried to install this over official CM12 - got looping fc of You Tube & Google Play Services. So did full wipe/factory reset then installed OK. Not had time to test much - but selecting "sounds" in Settings causes Settings fc.

Just followed instructions in the link (yes, also deleted the arm folder). Screenshot attached.

Just tried it - yes, working OK on Z2 with LP. :)

Yep, just done it. Works fine :good:

No problem here. Tethering working fine. I'm on Vodafone in the UK.

No it doesn't :( - that was the version of Xposed I was refering to in my previous post : ....also...

Followed your steps exactly. Root working, but Recovery does not work When Xposed is activated, phone bootloops :( I'm on Locked Bootloader . Are you on Unlocked Bootloader :confused:
