Hi,
My Note is hardly 5 months old and i see that to dial a number twice it's taking 10 seconds! It pauses, returns back to the dialer and then finally dials. I'm wondering whether flashing a custom ROM will solve this problem and also if i flash one, is my warranty void for eternity?
Please help me out!!!
Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
It might be a good idea to install Quadrant (benchmark) and run it after you restart your device, to have a check on the hardware capabilities and compare.
If your device is loaded with some applications that hog its RAM with background processes you may need to uninstall them. Check your application manager, go to running applications to see what is using your memory.

Thanks a lot... Also I'm inclined to move to 4.2.2. Suggest that i use a custom ROM or wait for Samsung to release an official one?

It's your choice mate but keep in mind that on some ROMS you would lose some of the unique capabilities of your s-pen or some other stuff like HDMI out (on non touchwiz based roms).
I like to have a best of both worlds and running Criskelo ROM (tw based) v17 with saber kernel. It's still 4.2.1 but rock stable, great battery life and with overclock it's faster than stock ROM but you would need to run a benchmark to notice it.
Hi friend you can choose Swift rom, im using it and it is fast and im having a screen time of 8:30 hours, you can try it, or choose an aosp rom but youll lose all the s pen functions and the sammys camera, you can even try changing other kernel, hope i helped

Install Instructions:
1. Back up your current rom. Keep in mind that after flashing, you will have to reinstall CWM, as this is stock kernel.
2. Have latest JB stock kernel, Root and CWM
3. Enter recovery, mount System, Cache, Data and Format each (don't just do data erase/reset, it is not enough)
4. Flash the rom
5. Fix permissions (optional, but wouldn't hurt)
6. Reboot and let the rom settle
7. Go to Settings/Display/QuickSettings, you will have a pop up asking which app to use. Select QuickSettings for black or SystemUI for white background. You want black since this is a black version
8. After connecting to WIFI and testing browser, go to WIFI/Advanced and select Keep WIFI While Screen Sleeps "Always"
9. Enjoy the rom
10. Hit Thank you if you like it.
Instructions for Honami Camera
1. Put camera widget on home screen
2. Press the dinosaur
3. Press another dinosaur on bottom left
4. Choose Manual
From now on, you can start camera the usual way
Superior Auto doesn't work. If you touch SA, photo image stabilization or 2mp resolution, you will get black screen or f/c. To remedy, just exit and restart camera the usual way (by pressing camera button)

Why don't you just flash jb latest ftf file. Uncheck/exclude everything, but kernel.
Flashed it and getting "internal storage damaged" at first boot. Asks me to format it.
Same on 2nd boot.

1. Did you do mount system/cache/data and format each or just data erase and settings reset? Because the latter only gets rid of user data and settings. Your system apps and many others stay and interfere.
2. What is buggy other than internal storage?
3. It says in OP "Testing" as I don't have Acro.
It may be a porting issue, therefore, any input is appreciated.
"the worst rom" : I have seen roms that initially result in no boot or bootloop and yet this one is the worst? Remember, this forum is by developers for developers, as opposed to developers for users...
Yes, mounted and formatted each.
The screen with all the apps installed had a square that was darker than the rest, and icons were outside the screen.
Didn't get a celluar connection either.
Beside that it was running Windows 8 on a IBM Personal Computer XT at times.
The worst rom I have managed to get running.

Seeing new roms is always good...
Developers spend a lot time and effort in developing the rom...
Reporting bugs and giving them logs would help...
This is XDA, we should give the developers some credit!!!

Update Posted September 26 2014:
Numerous fixes and additions:
Added Slimbean Extras including Email, Exchange2, Launcher2, Music2 and VideoEditor
Camera delay is positively fixed - absoultely no delay
Removed FM radio which does not work
Instructions:
I always prefer fresh install.
You may try, if you wish and if you already have the previous version, to flash this on top;
If you are doing fresh install, see original instructions (full wipe).
P.S. When you boot for the first time, you will get:
1. Notificaiton that email app stopped (disregard it, the app will work without any further messages)
2. Notification that SU binary should be updated: follow instructions
Regarding bootloops: Do a fresh install, which is always preferred. Also, remember, custom roms based on Cyanogen want all system apps signed by the same key. If you have SU or any other app that you installed in the system (and then flash update on top) that means that those apps are signed by different keys, which would result in a bootloop during subsequent updates. Do research and learn about not messing with system apps. Neither SU nor any other app needs to be installed in system. Also, the same applies if you decompile and mess with a system app - once you re-compile the app, you'll have to sign it and your key is different, which again means bootloop.
Also remember that this rom is designed to work with Stock JB 4.1.2 kernel only. If you have an unlocked bootloader and custom kernel, you will get bootloop and/or other issues
Before posting this update, I reformatted my phone and did a fresh install: no issues. You know what it means: I don't want to hear about bootloops.
____________________________________________________________________________
Rom checked on my device: boots 100% in about 25 seconds. Just re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.
Slimbean latest release built from sources on September 6, 2014. This is for IONs with locked bootloaders. This is not Kitkat, it is based on JB 4.1.2, which is ages more stable.
Changes:
1. Open source Launcher Advanced (one of few open launchers)
2. Terminal and FM radio added (were missing in original release by Olivier)
3. Battery/Wifi fixes incorporated in code prior to building
4. Radio menu fixed (now when you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone, you no longer get F/C)
5. Default network changed to LTE
The phone seems snappier than with the original release, perhaps because the rom was built on Gentoo, which is the best Linux around. But maybe it is just placebo. You decide.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Be rooted, have Recovery and JB 4.1.2 kernel
2. Enter recovery, wipe System/Data/Cache (remember factory reset is not enough)
3. Flash the rom, reboot and let it settle, which shouldn't take long
4. Enjoy and press thank you or perhaps donate...

Thanks for the rom. I just flashed it and rebooted.. the screen is stuck on the slimbean logo for over 10 minutes.. the slimbean logo is flashing normally as if its about to load. You think something went wrong and I should interrupt it?
EDIT: So i interrupted after about 12 minutes by holding power and volume up keys and entered twrp to go back to previous rom. Will try back later.

I'll look into it. Did you do system/cache/data wipe prior to flashing?
Sorry to ask again but can we have INLINE/INVOICE CALL RECORDER like the one seen in your honami ROM. I think it was a part of 0.96w fw jellybean 4.1.2. I really need it and so do others too

Rom re-uploaded: works fine
I checked the rom and it boots on my ION fine. Re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.
Downloading, will try tomorrow after school is out. Thank you Optimum you and your damn roms tempt me as much as i tell myself to stick to stock after CM10 had quite a few issues on my end i guess.
Also on a side note if you need mirrors, I can make two or three.
Can we have kitkat like notification quick settings in this rom ?

I'm not really a picture taker. Post #3 in this thread has a flashable camera. I'm not sure it would work on this rom, but I would flash it and if it didn't work just do a restore from backup.

Does anyone low of how I can get small apps back? Although they're not a deal breaker, I actually used a couple of them and would like them back.

Ok, I'm slowly catching on. I switched from iPhone a couple of months ago and had gotten an HTC One which I unlocked the boot loader, did the S-Off and rooted. I run AOKP on that phone and the xperia was a backup to carry when I'm running or cycling. As it turns out, my wife's iPhone is messing up so I've put a sense rom back on the One. She likes getting that feed screen and all. Now the Xperia is my main phone. I guess Honami is the Sony equivalent of proprietary like sense is to HTC.
I've found I like the Sony's and will probably replace the HTC with a Z1 or Z1 compact but I need to do some research as unlocking the boot loader is a requirement. It wasn't so important on the ion due to its purpose, plus I couldn't find an I or H at a reasonable price.
I realize I've gotten wordy and a touch off topic and apologize.
I'll keep my eyes out for a camera and as for the multi tasking, I forgot there's an xposed app that may allow some multi tasking.
I really do appreciate the ROM and am especially grateful to the dev of this rom for making it usable on a locked boot loader.

Well, I experienced this kind of issue too. Now I have the 4.2.2 Original firmware and did some changes that made some difference. I went to Application manager > Downloaded and deactivated (or tried to) some of samsungs' bloatware, like samsung push, chaton, and some apps from google that I dont use, like google videos, google books, etc.
Well, this is not enough to prevent them to reinstall. You need to enter Play Store, select those apps, and uncheck auto-update (three dots at the right up corner).
Before I did this, a clear RAM never lower below 605 or 610 MB out of 804MB. After, a clear RAM reach as low as 395 MB out of 804 MB and my device got a little bit less laggy.
Maybe there are other apps that we can do such procedure.

there's no lag on me, its smooth. the nov 2014 update was improved stability. so now its smooth. :laugh:
my advice is disable unwanted or unused apps like, samsung app, samsung link, samsung account, chat on, all that is related to samsung app. i know girls download apps alot, my gf does, but she has an iphone so not a problem, and also download clean master for freeing ram, and greenify to save battery. :good::good::good:

Well every ROM or mobile starts getting laggy after some time and to remove that u can try reflashing the device as it removes all the OLD data fies that are not deleted by any cleaning softwares and that I have tried and am sure will remove the lag for again some time, but yeah if ur phone is older than 2 Years sometimes even this might not work as your processor gets old and hence gets slow with time....

is current xperia z1c lollipop still have memory leak issue ?
I used lollipop for 2 days already. and it always restart my game (minimized to background) after I open browser to use google (yeah only 2 recent apps displayed. chrome and game apps).
I hate this because my game need long time and heavy bandwidth at loading screen. I never get this problem when I used kitkat. I heard there's xposed module to fix this memory leak issue but my phone isnt rooted.
or is there a way to return to default OS (kitkat) like when I first bought it ? maybe I'll do this way. reset it to kitkat again. but I dont know how.
thanks.
You can flash stock kitkat with flashtool. I should have stock EU . 157 rom somewhere on my pc and can upload it if you want.
Flashing stock rom is pretty easy. Watch a tutorial or something. I can help you a bit more when back home.
Back to your question. I have no idea I'm still running kitkat as L is still not available in my country.

is it working to use your stock rom at my country ? I thought different country have different kind of rom. not sure about this if this is true or not.
flashing stock rom doesnt need root access, right ? and maybe can I also backup current lollipop OS that I have so I can reflash it when it has been fixed ?.
so far what I like from lollipop is when someone call me, I can still use other app because call notification only use small box on top of my current running app. I like this feature very much.
It depends where do you live. If in EU it should be fine. If not I can find a rom good for your location.
No, flashing custom rom does not require rooted device.
I think you don't have to do the backup as you'll be able to just update it again ( at least I think so)

Yes. But you dont have to backup the OS. You can download the Firmware using the XperiaFirm Tool >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
And here is how to convert the files >> http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/

wow this is nice info. I've just tried using that xperiafirm tool and it shows my country firmware.
Generally you can root your phone without unlocking bootloader. It worked for me, at least on kitkat. I'm not sure what about the Lollipop though.
You should better ask someone else too as I'm not as experienced and don't want to give you false info.
But if there's pre-rooted rom here and it's working for android L you don't have to unlock bootloader to flash it.

btw, if u wish to stay in KK (since xposed in LP wont work perfectly, seen people commenting on that) there is an easy method to root..

yeah. I've tried root without unlock bootloader and it worked. as long as I use correct kernel that can be rooted.

okay I can get lollipop with root+xposed (all day tried this. I read some tutorial how to do it properly because this is my 1st time doing something like this. so tired ). although I dont know if xposed wont work perfectly like you said because I only use 3 modules so far. App Settings (keep screen on for game I'm playing) and Fix Lollipop Memory Leak and gravitybox (LP).
what I've done :
- downloaded kitkat 14.4.A.0.157 from XperiFirm. and flashed it using flashtool.
- I've realized .0157 can't be rooted for now. so I've used your link that you gave (Root FW 14.4.A.0.157 (LB/UBL) ).
- after get root access, then I installed recovery using Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.11-RELEASE.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com/
- after that I flashed 14.5.A.0.242_CustomizedFR_Pre-Rooted_Dualrecovery 2.8.10 + Fix Xposed for Lollipop using recovery.
- and flashed Massive debloating and Xposed. links and procedure are also from that pre-rooted rom thread.
so far, no bootloop. dont know if I add some xposed modules again. I heard it will get bootloop if too many xposed modules is installed (?)

I know that feel :angel:
I have found a way to root stock LP having ULB. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60188952
Now going to try xposed. Since you have, tell me how.. Here is the official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Is this where you get info?
although I dont know if xposed wont work perfectly like you said because I only use 2 modules so far. App Settings (keep screen on for game I'm playing) and Fix Lollipop Memory Leak (still dont know if this module will work.)

Xposed worked perfectly in KK. I tried more than five modules at a time without the bootloop issue. What I fear is the LP. Havent you checked the dev/Q&A thread of the modules?
what I've done :
- downloaded kitkat 14.4.A.0.157 from XperiFirm. and flashed it using flashtool.
- I've realized .0157 can't be rooted for now. so I've used your link that you gave (Root FW 14.4.A.0.157 (LB/UBL) ).

wow so much struggle... I have a doubt, why not simply flash that pre-rooted ftf file over the KK? [being lazy to search for the thread]
So how is it feels? Dont forget to share your views and link to the thread..

I dont know that. But I heard that activating some module(s) when some other module(s) is(are) active may cause bootloop in KK.
Hey there, the XperiFirm dev here.
No one answered your question so I will. The answer is: No.
Sony made sure to include the memory leak fix built in (the exact fix that the Xposed module offers) for their Lollipop releases. The Xposed module is pointless.
See attached screenshot. Basically the Xposed module replaces the AOSP function with exactly the same function but with this additional "release()" line. As you can see, Xperia already has this line included.

wow thanks to coming here :victory:
lol. so it's pointless to install that module because they are same thing exactly. time to uninstall.
actually my game is still restarted after I browsing a little. although I still see a lot of free memory in here. before, I thought this is because of that memory leak issue but I'm wrong.
if only there's module that can prevent lollipop refresh/restart/clear my game at memory when I minimized it at background.
I have the same problem, only with audio apps in the background. Pocket Casts, Stitcher and BeyondPod all crash and stop playing when running in the background, after I do something else like load the game Threes. This never used to happen with KitKat. I've also noticed that iplayer radio gets very jerky and skips back and forth by a quarter of a second continuously as soon as I turn off the screen. [edit - I just listened to it for a few minutes with the screen off and it suddenly cut out. I turned the screen on an the app was no longer in my notifications tray]
If Sony fixed this particular memory leak, what's going wrong with my phone? Could it be related to the fact that I've encrypted if for the first time? I'm getting desperate enough to consider factory resetting and losing everything, because listening to podcasts and playing threes is one of my favourite activities. It's not a demanding game for my year old, top of the line phone. My cheap tablet manages it, and so did the phone on KitKat!
