Empty System/Bin now and then. - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Z3 D6603 has started to acting up now and then.
Just lastnight the phone said that Camera failed to start and once i did a reboot the phone ended upp in a bootloop, bootsound crashes.
Entered TWRP and realized my system/bin folder was empty.
So my question is, has anyone any clue whats causing this and how can i solve it?
I was on KK D6603-23.0.1.A.5.77 which worked fine.
I recently installed Android 5 with unlocked bootloader.
So this is what im runing.
Rom: Flashable_D6603_23.1.A.0.690_Customized_NCB_pre_rooted.zip
Kernel: Advanced_stock_kernel_Z3_Lollipop_23.2.A.0.278.zip
Launcher: 5-5_home.apk (installed in System/Priv-Apps)
This all started when i had the same ROM and Kernel with xposed framework installed i used xposedinstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk with xposed-arm-20150308.zip. well atleast i thought that was the issue.
I solved everything by removing xposed framework manualy in recovery and after that simply cleaning cache and dalvike but that solves everything for the moment.
After that i got the same issue even without xposed framework.
I dont know when this will happen again but last time it was 3 days ago and i had not installed anything new.
Im starting to suspect that the issue is realted to the launcher but again im not sure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ll-xperia-home-8-0-0-7-lollipop-roms-t3062623
So has anyone any idea on whats wrong and how i fix it or should i simply just start all over and install the flashable rom and just let it be without kernel etc.

Camera apk failed to start and after reboot my system/bin folder was empty again..
Its either my kernel or home apk. I flashed kernel for x.690 version instead which is the same as ROM hopefully its related to that.

[Q] Nexus 5 Not allowing to install OS, cannot mount to PC, Only bootloader or TWRP

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 bought In Israel. It came with 4.4.1 and I updated to 4.4.2 and I wanted a change so I installed PA ROM beta 4.
Now from here all hell broke loss...
For some reason my vibration motor stopped working completely and from time to time it gave me this weird vibration for maybe 2 hours and then disappeared again... I'm not blaming this on the ROM.
Yesterday I got an update that PA ROM beta 5 was out so I installed it through their OTA app.After the update I had no keyboard, my volume buttons did not respond well so I thought maybe the update was a bit off, So I did a Factory reset. after the reset the OS was still shaky and laggy so I wanted to go back to stock... I found a Stock odexed ROM, got into TWRP wiped everything except sd, and went on to install the new ROM.
(I did not make a backup).
Now my problem Is that I could not install the stock ROM, every time i tried to flash it it would stop and not install...
Now i'm stuck in TWRP without the ability to mount my phone to try and change the ROM... when I reboot it says I have no OS...
I tried working with the Nexus 5 toolkit and install stock from there and also nothing helps...
I tried installing the Stock from Google manually with fastboot commands and still no answer from the phone...
Please does anyone have an idea for me?

Then you have to flash the stock rom and start over, here is u tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 to flash the rom. Google rom`s https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=nl.
I think you have to format data and the try flashing any rom, this has happened to me 2 times already. Twrp is the culprit i believe

[Q] Random Force reboots

Hey guys, I'm a pretty heavy tinkerer and I know that comes with some risk. But before I completely wipe and reflash everything I wanted to see if someone could help diagnose my problem.
I have a Nexus 5 and have been running MultiRom for a while. I currently have Paranoid Android and Android L dual booting. I was on the newest version of PA (4.6 BETA 1) but I just flashed back to a past backup so now I am on PA 4.4 (I think). I have been having random reboots for about a day and now I can't even get my phone to stay on longer than a few minutes. I just installed Xposed and a few Modules so I assumed those were giving me the trouble, but I uninstalled Xposed when I started having problems and that didn't help. Even my backed up ROM and my Android L won't work without rebooting. This leads me to believe its something deeper down than my ROM.
Before I clean off and reflash, is there any way I can diagnose or fix this issue?
Thanks a ton.

Phone reboot after app install

Hi, I have a Z3 on 5.0.2 (Locked BL) and the device reboots after every app install/uninstall.
I do have xposed installed but have flashed the appropriate zips to make xposed function correctly.
What is the most likely cause of this?
Thanks
EDIT: i have done my research and noticed similar people have experienced this issue and resolved it by clearing the /data/system/netstats folder based on providing the crash text. Is anyone able to read a crash file to identify my problem?
I have also tried reflashing lollipop etc. I don't really want to move back to KK someone please help!!!!!

Xposed framework bootloop on 6.0.1 .244 update... Driving me mad

So, all is well here, the .244 update came and it is smooth as hell, only problem is that xposed is terrorising me.
I installed every .zip xposed files possible for 6.0 and 6.0.1 all giveing me bootloops after i restart the phone...
At first i thought it was a module causing the problem, i had wiped my phone clean several times... Still...
Please help...
It did work fine for me, no issue at all... (with latest xposed v85)
can you share the zip pls
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v85-sdk23-arm64.zip
thx, but i have found the problem. Apperantly the problem was in the kernel, i flashed the one that came with the ftf a user shared, after i flashed androPlus's kernel everything was normal

Since Android 8.0 its lagging

Hey guys. Two days before i updated my phone manually via ODIN on a german version G930FDBT2ERG2_DBT.
So i just let Google and Samsung restore all my stuff. Then i installed TWRP and root via the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and magisk v16.0.
After that i installed XPosed via the XPosed Installer app. I think since i did that or maybe before, every app needs hours to start and lags.
e.g. opening of Snapchat. Like it's closing so hard in background, that all services need to restart.
Instagram and OneDrive are shown many time as stopped working and i don't know why. Maybe Instagram caused by XInsta?
Okay i recognized OneDrive isn't even working anymore. Was already on Android 7 a problem. Does not seem to be compatible to something else.
You have any ideas or need any information? Let me know
try a factory reset. Personally, I use a modified stock rom (light rom) and it is very stale and very fast.

Antutu Benchmark gives me 164336 points, so it seems literally to be normally, but i know all loading times of Snapchat and Instagram and so on are so much longer.
I will try to flash it again and to start clean. Just the copying of the WhatsApp folder needs so much time.
So I'm asking again. Nobody else got problems? I still dont get the data mount error fixed, because when I install Magisk it's broke again and my whole phone seems to lag. I dont know if it's because of my Xposed modules or Magisk modules. But for example with the update everythings goes slower even if Antutu says something else. Snapchat needs years to start. Is it cause of dual messenger? But I don't think so. Or when i'm in the car and using Google Maps and Poweramp and tapping skip on my car radio for skipping in bluetooth there is a delay of 20 seconds sometimes so wtf.
Any speedups for S7 or Android 8 on S7???

Try an other rom ( official or custom ), m'y S7 exynos is smooth and stable.
For data partition, dis you flashed Tgp kernel ?
You Can finde a custom recovery in Tgp kernel thread, it fix that issue.
You need to download flashify from play store to flash the custom recovery.

I like TouchWiz. Is there any ROM that is similar? And never heard of another kernel to fix that. Is that kernel better? Last time i changed kernel and stuff was with my Galaxy S3

Tgp kernel gives a good battery life ans smooth UI.
If you didn't flashed a kernel, you need to wipe data partition by writing ''yes''
And you will Lost all you data, so you need to save you data on external storage, hard Drive or computer.

Works it without problems? Bro do i just need the kernel or also like I found out this THE GALAXY PROJECT ROM ? It looks like TouchWiz ha?
I have stock phone without root and my phone is getting really extremely hot since it was updated to Oreo.
Even by doing something like being here in the forum is getting so hot that is uncomfortable on my hand

If on stock then resources being consumed with bloat. If issues began around installation of xposed wouldn't it make sense to uninstall modules and xposed and see if improved over the next day? Restoring apps and data and rooting and moding is a lot of stress on device all at once, then it gets so warm it starts to go glitch. I've been there too. Best thing is to let it sit 30-60 min after set up finishes to cool off. Reboot too once restored data completes.
Almost makes me miss the rip out and replace with cool fully charged battery days of my S4 [emoji91]
