[5.0.2] [Lag/Heat/Battery - Problems] Need advise on how to get ZL smooth again

Hello together first my specs:

Model: Sony Xperia ZL C6503
Android 5.0.2
Build: 10.6.A.0.454
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g8fa3dae BuildUser@BuildHost #1 <- Vanilla Kernel I beliefe
Root: Yes with kingroot following this HowTo Link I now got SUperSU 2.46 installed
Bootloader: Locked - I didnt unlock it and I think the rooting didnt unlock it either
Apps: ~95

I have the following problems:

1. Ever since 4.4.4 my Sony ZL is somewhat laggy. With 4.4.2 I had a really smooth experience but since 4.4.4 its been a dirt road. I am happy that Sony still brings us the newest updates with Andorid 5.0.2 and soon 5.1 but I hate that my user experience drasticly decreased. Not only do games lag since Lolipop, now the UI interface is lagy and my browsers (Dolphin with Jetpack) lags. Its just a big **** up! Its not smooth anymore and it doesnt make fun to wait several seconds (3-5) before apps open or close. I have no longer any task killer, with my last it felt to decrase performance instead of increase.

2. I have a heat issue with the phone somtime it gets really hot really fast.

3. Battery doesn't hold a whole day anymore. Could be casue the phone is 2 years old already but sometimes I have really bad battery life. If I turn on GPS I can forget to use my phone cause battery dies within 3 hours and apps just collapse under the heat.
I have Stammina tunred on and @30% Low Battery kicks in. @15% Battery saver tunrs on.
Battery drops from 12% -> 0% and turns off phone. Sometimes I get to 8% and then 0%

I would like to fix those issues and I need your help and advise. Yesterday I was almost to the point where I threw my ZL out of the window but I decided to give it a last chance with some help of the XDA community. So for my phone you are the last chance otherwise I will throw it out.
My Problem: I dont really want to completly start fresh and install all apps and configure everything again. I have Titanium Backup insallted (but I dont really know how to use it). If I have to completly start fresh I will probably get a new device casue there I will have to do the same legwork anyway. Only if money is thight next month I will stay with the ZL and do it all over again.

So can you guys help me to fix my problems? My biggest problem is the lag issue. I can life with the allright battery life and the heat issue but the lag drives me insane.

Edit:
In the past I already tried to root my phone while I had 4.4.4 but at the time there was no root available yet and some tasks failed. Not sure if that had any impact.

Not much internal storage left after flashing a ROM.

Hello,
I own a LG P880 16GB and decided to flash it with a custom ROM. The stock version was JB 4.1.2 for Europe. I've tried AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1 and later Euphoria-OS 1.1. I use custom recovery called ClockworkMod Recovery. I've also installed gapps from Nano Modular Package.

Before the flashing I wiped all data and caches in recovery. I've also explicitly wiped /system and /data.

And here is the question. Why a 200MB ROM takes up about 9GB on /data partition? My storage manager says that I only have 3.5GB space available. It used to be a lot more (around 12GB).
Here is a screenshot of my storage manager: http://i.imgur.com/IPaz9W2.png

I suspect that it could be my old files from previous android installations but how did they survive the wiping? I can't access the files from my JB installation (though it seems they take up the space) but I can access some music and photos from AOSP even though I have Euphoria-OS now.

My second guess is that the Lolipop reserves some space for builtin apps but since I use a custom ROM they are not installed.

Thank you

[Unbrick][Hard-Bricked][No Emergency Mode] LG L7 II (Single & Dual)

Don't follow this yet it is in progress.

Hello to you all. Since I got a new device (LG G3) I thought it will be cool to write an in-depth guide about recovering a hard-bricked L7 II. Our guinea pig will be my P710. All devices have the same internals. I will write up when you need to do something different depending on your model. This will work for the people that flashed a P700 image and lost Emergency Mode. This will probably work in any hard-brick unless your eMMC failed or it is broken (physically).

The original tutorial for this unbrick was made available on 4pda (Thank you very much guys; Your names will be in the credits area). Also some of the files (most of them) are from 4pda (Thanks again).

This is not exactly the same tutorial. I changed some things and I made some things my own way.

This is not a beginner friendly task but I will write it very in-dept (still not step-by-step). Very low skills are required though: follow exact directions, read carefully and don't do stuff because you think it is good.

I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, if you get fired from your job because your alarm clock failed or you destroyed your device even further. YOU TAKE THIS ACTIONS AND IT IS YOUR OWN RISK. I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THIS ACTIONS. This tutorial includes parts that might be illegal in some states (like changing IMEI back to your device one). If you are in one of those states please skip this. IMEI change is illegal (well, I am not a rule breaker but we are just gonna restore our default IMEI).

This Tutorial will be divided in 6 parts:

1. Needed tools/drivers and preparation

2. Opening the phone and exposing the motherboard

3. Getting the device into QDL Mode 9008 and flashing the MBR, EBR and the main bootloaders

4. Flashing the phone as a Hard Drive in QDL Mode 9006 (Raw MMC Access)

5. Flashing a Pre-Rooted Image and Restoring the default Emergency Mode, also Restoring original IMEI (if this is legal in your state)

6. Flashing your desired KDZ for your phone model.



1. Needed tools/drivers and preparation

Physical tools:

• Frearson (Star) Screwdriver 2.0mm


• Plastic Opening Tool


• A cooper wire (not very big in diameter that is very sharp at 1 end)


• USB Cable


• Optional: A Loupe and a Motherboard Holder


• Optional: A tool for releasing the plugs on the motherboard

This are my tools and of course the USB Cable.


Software:
LG Drivers
Adb for Windows
KDZ Flasher
QDL Drivers (32 and 64 bit)
QPST Tools (Qualcomm Service Tools)
MBR and BL Repair
EMMC RAW WRITER
HxD Hex Editor for Windows



2. Opening the phone and exposing the motherboard

3. Getting the device into QDL Mode 9008 and flashing the MBR, EBR and the main bootloaders

4. Flashing the phone as a Hard Drive in QDL Mode 9006 (Raw MMC Access)

5. Flashing a Pre-Rooted Image and Restoring the default Emergency Mode, also Restoring original IMEI (if this is legal in your state)

6. Flashing your desired KDZ for your phone model.

Temperature and memory ram

Hi guys! Recently bought a galaxy s6, and I see that the ram memory consumption is quite high, it remains only a 400/500 mb for use, it is normal? And when I play a game that needs a lot of processor, it reaches 72 temperature. It is normal?
I'm brasilian, my s6 My s6 has the bootloader g920idvu1a0e3 and this firmware is 5.0.2 official.
