Should be fine - the latest CWM/TWRP does not erase the internal SD card partition.

but only for video

on the photo BE2 not working
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
Photo and video :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
Nope. The bravia engine is disabled only on the photos. It remains on when watching movies or videos. I have personally compared displays with another locked phone and also it is clearly visible when you disable the option and then see. Huge difference.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
No... I notice the difference when BE2 is enable ir disable on photos...

I madre two screenshots now. First disable, second is enable

[Xperia Z Android Development] Cxpher:
Yeah but if the bootloader is unlocked, BE2 is only disabled on photos. Not on videos.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
I repeat again... I have the bootloader unlocked and i have BE2 on photos and videos...

Good news for lb , i am testing now a full rom for lb , wiping data , system , dalvik-cache , cache ( full wipe) and all apps like ( titanium backup, root explorer , system tuner , etc.) without any problem or reboots. Added recovery and root ( not need to reroot your device , or install cwm).
[Xperia Z Android Development] auras76:
if anyone with LB wants to test , PM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] paalkr:
So, how did you achieve that? Was the device shipped with a unlocked bootloader? Do you have the options in settings to turn BE2 on and off? Do you se any differences in not videos and pictures?

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Full rom including kernel as well? ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] auras76:
No , without kernel. on locked bootloader will not be able to flash on fastboot or cwm.
[Xperia Z Android Development] neversayoceans:
I have been using this ROM since before .434 update. Everything works awesome. Suddenly I see the steps in installing the ROM

If you have a version below 1.434 , first flash with flashtool ftf unbranded 1.434

I never did this...What is it? Can anyone help.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BoneMo:
i did NOT do this and nothing wrong happened :victory:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
Yes, the device is "factory unlocked" I have the option to enable or disable BE2 and there is difference on photos and videos when is enabled
[Xperia Z Android Development] paalkr:
Where did you get hold of a factory unlocked phone with a fully functional BE2? Would it be possible for a dev to examine your device and maybe understand how to keep DRM keys and BE2 after BL unlock?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ignition75:
Boot Loop

Not sure what I did wrong, first flash complained of permissions and now I'm stuck with just the sony logo displaying and dying when out of charge.

Anyone know of any good disaster recovery threads? I think I may have bricked this one...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Cookie Ninja:
No problems too severe that a stock ftf flashed thru flashtool can't recover... Try it, or else use SUS to reflash stock, in case you haven't unlocked your bootloader.

Dead cookies leave no trails...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ignition75:
Know where I can download the stock firmware files from? Been looking, just found plenty of flash tools so far no files.

I bought it in Amazon.es (from Germany), but i bought other in Sony Store Madrid and i had bootloader unlocked too :S
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kallb123:
I'm guessing by unlocked bootloader you're referring to the text that says:

"Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes"

BE will still work because the bootloader isn't unlocked, you're just allowed to unlock it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ignition75:
ROM flashed great the 2nd time around, nice clean ROM thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] paalkr:
Yes, it must be like that. Nothing special then.
[Xperia Z Android Development] scpion:
Or he could be referring to the term "factory unlock" which refers to unlocked for any carrier..

Something went wrong while flashing and when i rebooted I m stuck on DoomLord kernel startup..Any help. my battery will also die soon.

Solved. pressed and held power and volume up button and it entered recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
Can you still get into recovery? If so, fix permission and try to reboot again.

If all fail, have to abort and reflash ftf and start all over again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] kashppo:
Just to let you know that this Rom is working perfectly on my XZ with LB.

The only minor issue I've found is that on Stock battery mod, if I choose to show battery percentage it disappears when softkeys are switched on and off, but it just requires unchecking and checking the box again and it comes back. Also, the icons on the toggles could be shorter and sharper. But no biggie.

My battery life has increased dramatically, without the bloatware there's almost no draining. Battery stays on 100% for about 2 hours after charging under light use.

Thanks for your work!

hi auras76 thanks for great rom again! :)

Is there any chance to incorporate options for smaller size soft key(bottom bar), scale 25-48.

like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171768 ?

i lost the notification toggles after flash what they had in the thread (tried both stock 434 black and romaur 350) :-$ hehe

It would be great!

on this note do you have a separate .zip that i can flash back to what you initially had for the notification bar & soft key bar, for RomAur 2.4 LB? :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys

first of all i want to say a big thanks for this rom

2.3.1 is the one am currently using and looks great so far

i own an htc on x (tegra one) and i also bought the Z recently

compared to the htc one x, the Sony is abit more laggy

(i use the latest renovate rom there ) and apex launcher on both phones

has something to do with the fact that one x is running 4.2.2 ? or i need to check out different kernels for the sony ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
Flashed latest on my LB. Works amazing. Thanks!

Is there a way to get 18 toggles with stock looking SystemUI.apk?
[Xperia Z Android Development] diego9016:

how to fix that? and after i reboot each time show android.process.media is stopped.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ccxex29:
Bravia Engine? What's wrong with BE?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kallb123:
You lose it if you unlock bootloader.

Maybe not for long though. There's a Dev thread of how to back it up and restore it. So if you unlocked and wanted be you could relock and restore drm keys.

Maybe soon we'll be able to restore the keys to an unlocked bootloader :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Juzman:
I unlocked bootloader, flashed RomAur and I still have Bravia Engine in display settings. So do I or do I not have it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kallb123:

If you are on a locked bootloader you will need to root again and reinstall cwm recovery.

Can i upgrade from 2.3.1 for UB to 2.5 without wipe's?
[Xperia Z Android Development] E90 Commie:
Yes, you can. I am using ROMAur on my C6602. The only difference between the C6602 and C6603 is the radio and it is not affected by those ROMs.

The device will report itself as a C6603 after flashing and their will be LTE options in Settings, just switch to GSM plus WCDMA.

[Xperia Z Android Development] aliguu:
While waiting for the new upload for LB version, thought I discuss the steps for updating RomAur, hopefully helps me and anyone else that does it :)

This was what I did/experienced.

Initial root and 1st RomAur install:

1.

-Rooted phone with LB / installed cwm recovery / installed RomAur 2.4

= perfect easy process, no problemo all working :thumbup:

RomAur update clean install

2.

-backup all my stuff

-copy Rom and LB add-on zips to sdcard

-Boot into Cwm recovery

-wiped the trio --> factory reset/cache partition/dalvik cache

-install Rom from zip

*Hanged on aroma selections when using touch screen, so make sure to use vol keys & power buttons

-after Rom installation it errors after trying to auto-reboot, and goes back to cwm menu.

In this case DO NOT reboot yet, rather go straight to install LB add-on zip.

-Reboot system and select NO when asked disable flash recovery.

Note* I think somehow i lost cwm recovery after rom boots and working..? (maybe cause of the trio wipe?)

Nonetheless after Rom up and working just run cwm script again should do the trick to have cwm recovery for sure.

Romur 2.5 LB [21/4] version

3.

-WIFI not working as it stucks on searching IP or assigning IP address, and just loops process.

*Fix* is to config static IP address manually.

-For any public wifi or 3rd party wifi, it will not work because you dont have access to assign manually.

Please let me know if I need to refine step 2 for a clean install of updated RomAur anyone?

Cheers.

[Xperia Z Android Development] danw_oz:
Clean install, I had to use companion to repair my phone, then root and install bootloader, then run 2.5, selecting the wipe option on the first page.

I installed clean 2.5 LB, after the installer hung on the wiping cache option (1 hour is not normal),soft bricked my phone.

I can confirm that the WIFI is working fine.

Also root was fine, however the bootloader did not work, no lights on boot up to press the arrow down, and also if I just held the arrow down.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

I waited one hour before I gave up ;), soft bricked the phone, needed my phone so repair through PC companion, when I tried the install again after this, selecting wipe at the first menu all was fine, annoying because I lost, my DPI, coloured notifications...

@ OP

NFC is working no changes required, I did use the latest root v28, if this makes any difference

All seemed to go fine, after forced to repair my phone, then re-install. However when I connected my phone to the charger and left the phone for a while, when I came back the phone was in a boot loop. Did a hard reset on the phone, and all has been working fine since.

One thing, aroma installer is a good idea, but the naming of those options is pretty crap, and I am sure that most people wouldn't know what each of those options actually do or effect in the system. It is too easy to acidently click somewhere on the screen which hangs the phone.

Maybe a little tutorial on how the aroma installer works, eg push up arrow until the blue box around the selections is displayed, then use the down arrows, pressing power on options you want to select, once you get to the bottom, arrow until you get to next.
