[Sony Xperia ZL] cool_sid007:
hey guys!!!

i am keen to get a ZL soon.. and hell yes i prefer the ZL over s4 or HTC One.. but i just checked out the forum & noticed that not major development has taken place yet.. be it custom ROMs or MODs.. wherein Z's forum is full of it.. that puts me one step back.. will ZL get less development than Z??? I would really want to stick with a phone which happens to be modded & developed... Its strange to know that ROMS for Z & ZL would be different as both of them are practically the same phone apart from the outer curvature & 2-3 tiny features... any takers to explain this to me??

Also battery life means a lot to me.. wanna know from the users as to how is the battery performing.. I am on HTC OneX at the moment & the only think i dont like about this phone is the battery life... need ur input guys!!! pls help!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] TRF-Inferno:
The ZL hasn't been made available globally as the Z did, so give it some time for it to pick up in popularity. The Z had an entire month head start on the market, and the ZL was only available two weeks ago.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Would some devs care to chip in as to whether developing for the ZL is any different than developing for the Z?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
AW: [Q] No custom ROMS on ZL????

I think most dev will code for Z, because that is the advertised flagship. Nevertheless I hope that Mods and Roms can easily be ported from Z to ZL.

There is a first Cyanogen Port, although the ZL isn't released yet in many parts of the world. Samsung maybe won't get it years after release. :D

And you don't need 238 different ROMs, you just need one that fits! :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
If someone would help get me started I'd make a Rom for the ZL. I made a stripped down and buildprop changes Rom on the Samsung mesmerise which is the cdma version of the galaxy s back in early 2011. But I'm not sure where to start now :/
[Sony Xperia ZL] krabappel2548:
I'll release XZL Revolution Rom for you guys soon ;) just let me know who is interested in my rom :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
I'm in. The only thing that really needed on ZL is voltage control because the phone gets quite warm during prolonged operation. I don't like it. I see DooMLorD making custom kernel for the Z and I hope he will make one for ZL as well. But since he is busy with life that may take some time...
[Sony Xperia ZL] cool_sid007:
Wuhooo!!!! Am in!!! :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
Me also there waiting.....
[Sony Xperia ZL] krabappel2548:
Ok, expect a release before the weekend :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
Finally wait is going to get over

seeing so many Roms for xz but nothing for zl

eagerly waiting
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
AW: [Q] No custom ROMS on ZL????

So what's wrong with sony stock? Performance? Functionality missing? Or just flash-addicted...? :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
There is nothing wrong with stock ROM. Only thing is we need more customisation like voltage control and such. Stock Xperia Launcher suffers from lags from time to time. I just use stock 4.2 Jelly Bean launcher and works much better than Xperia Launcher in terms of smoothness and responsiveness
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
Basically flash addicted

one more thing is customization like

status toggle bar options

black theme especially navigation bar

small on screen buttons which is really annoying as accual screen size is less than 4.8 or something

camera tweaks etc etc...
[Sony Xperia ZL] verve50:
Thanks looking forward to it...
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
any chances of releasing ccustom rom .......
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Why don't you give CM or AOKP a go? I know the camera is non functional as of now, but asking the dev again and again is not going to get you anything. He has his personal life to take care of too.
[Sony Xperia ZL] krabappel2548:
I have 2 weeks off from now :) so I have time to work on it :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
looking forward for some development.....

people r releasing roms for s4 which is no where in picture for atleast next 25 days

and this phone which was released almost 1 month ago doesn't hav a single custom rom

r developers not interested inthis phone or something else.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

thanks krabappel2548 waiting since a long time
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
Yup, and more annoyingly this is the sister of the popular Xperia Z, and not even a single custom kernel is available :eek:
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
AW: [Q] No custom ROMS on ZL????

Maybe that's just because this phone is perfect... :p
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
any chances of custom roms on xperia zl

or this phone is going to be in shadow of xz

now phone's original software is started to give frequent reboots and hangups also

so its high time we need refined roms for this beast

plzzzzz moderators helpppppppppppppppppppp.......

TWRP 2.4.1.0 for Xolo Q800

back37's TWRP 2.4.1.0 port works with this method.

You can get it from here http://ge.tt/92j62db/v/0

You have to follow the same procedure described in the original post in this thread, just use this recovery.img instead of the recovery.img given in the first post if you want TWRP instead of CWM.

and then for root, using TWRP, install the zip file for SuperSU that is attached in the first post in this thread. For instructions on how to do this, refer to the first post in this thread.

Xolo Q800 running TWRP - http://i.imgur.com/CQZczYy.jpg

Just FYI, the TWRP that I've linked to is for Fly IQ446, which the same phone as Xolo Q800 but with a different name. So, the phone is recognized by TWRP as Fly IQ446.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pentanol:
Switch off your mobile. ::)

Plug the charger in.

Press the volume button up and press power button together. :o

Release both the keys and again press vol + again . ;D

The recovery menu would appear. ;D ;D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sukarn:
Disconnect and switch your phone off. Keep your phone switched off and connect it after you have clicked on "Write Memory".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mor_1228:
thankx bro ur method worked.

for all those people facing problem like me. flash in switch off mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouravKundu:
A couple of questions guys:

For rooting the phone, I must have CWM correct?

Does anyone have the stock firmware of the Q800 so I can restore the phone back in case I need to send it to the service center?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] revoke007:
Hey guys, nice too meet you all on this wonderful forum. I really want to get the phone today but have been burnt in the past getting cheap touchscreen mobiles..can you guys give me your honest opinion on this phone? Will it last? Any help is much appreciated! thank you. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouravKundu:
Here's my honest opinion:

My previous phone was the Galaxy Y DUOS with a 200 INR nCase screen protector + a 300 INR nCase back case. After applying the screen protector, the touch was great.

Now for the XOLO Q800. The phone comes with a pre-applied screen protector as well as an extra one. The touch is pretty good - better than the Micromax A89 (a friend had bought it recently). I mainly use SwiftKey (a lot) and as you might have heard, its the best Android keyboard out there. I must say that I am loving the typing experience.

The battery backup is good - considering the fact that the WiFi was on for almost 10-12 hours and the battery went from 100 to 17 in that time.

I don't game on my phone, but I've installed some so my bro could play and he says that the touch/responsiveness of the screen is great!

As for the display, at 70% brightness, the phone is clearly visible outdoors at 12 noon under the bright sunlight.

Hope this helps!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] revoke007:
Thanks for your insightful reply man! I really do appreciate it..everywhere I only hear good things about this phone I will probably order it tonight..the only worry I have is that xolo aftercare support is known to be missing :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouravKundu:
XOLO Service Center - Things you should know!

Glad to be of help mate. You should totally order the phone man, its a worthy phone. That's all I have to say. :)

A couple of notes with regard to the service center:

1. XOLO does not have a dedicated service center.

2. If your phone goes kaput or malfunctions, you can call XOLO Care in their toll free number or SMS or email them.

3. The only thing that you have to have is your product's IMEI number - that's they way they'll know that you really own the product.

4. Once you have informed them of your problem, a XOLO care personnel will come to your residence or office address and take your phone and give you some official documents.

5. The phone will be taken to the service center and returned to your preferred address within a week via courier service.

6. There's an app called XOLO Care which comes pre-installed in your phone. Its got all the details there. The app also notifies you of any pending software update.

How do I know points 1-5? Simple. The salesman told me. :P

Hope this helps! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolestboyz:
Hey,

I've ordered this cell from indiatimes.com yesterday. I want to know that i'm from PATNA (BIHAR) and there is no service center/ dealer of xolo. So will they pickup from my area on phone call only ? But in my area there are 6 serice center of LAVA.

what do u say ?? :confused::confused::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouravKundu:
I'm not sure about the LAVA service center although XOLO is a LAVA product.

You simply need to call them up if anything goes wrong. Don't worry. :D

Anybody figured out a way to swap internal and external sd cards after rooting..??

And if yes...how well does the games play after such swapping..??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolestboyz:
Last time i rooted my CANVAS (mmx a100) by this file: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.7z and it took only 1min. to root w/o any extra command/clicks.

Is it necessary to install CWM ? :confused::confused::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dj_Ignatius:
yes...1st install cwm dn super su thru cwm..dats it.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sukarn:
Yes, because Bin4ry method doesn't work with our phone.

You can get CWM from the first post in this thread, as Dj_cool said in the previous post, or you can get TWRP from the third post in this thread.

Either way, you need to install a recovery (CWM or TWRP) before you can root the phone.

For all we know, an easier method might be available at an unknown time in future, but for now this is the only working method that we've got.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prembox:
EDIT: Nevermind...I figured it out....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sukarn:
Swapping isn't needed on our phone.

I have a 32 GB class 10 card, and games work pretty well on it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolriders:
I meant regarding games dat require more than 1.7gigs of space...this phone has limited internal memory of 1.7 gigs so games like MW4 and NOVA 3 won't be downloaded due to lack of space...!!! :-/

pls see my attachments in 100 % zoom .i feel there is some display issues with my zolo q800 1st image shows a comparison between the original pic (left side) and the same pic as my phone wallpaper (right side) with no cropping and scrollable taken by default screenshot (hold vol- and power button simultaneously). i have marked the problem areas with black circles for u to compare ....notice the scar below the eyes appear washed out in my phone....???

where can i get sock rom of this? how can i go in stock recovery?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NHS2008:
Yes, I can confirm. Same with my Q800. I think this phone as a 65k screen instead of 16 million colour one..

Yes. We need Stock Rom and recovery. Cause I need to send it off to Service centre on Tuesday. So I can't risk flashing the phone prior to that unless we have a way to get the stcok recovery plus unroot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brajesh143:
here is my phone stock recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NHS2008:
Thanks! But are you sure its stock?

I haven't rooted yet. cause I managed to get my microsim stuck in sim slot 1, so need a trip to SS in few days..:p

So flashing this will get rid of CWM?

Do you have whole STOCK ROM? :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brajesh143:
yes this will get rid of cwm....i always back up my stock recovery before flashing cwm.....so ur display also plagued like mine can u post ur screenshot.....also its a display problem in others q800-display is good confirmed here....http://www.facebook.com/groups/345452745575532/

whole stock rom not required if u havent rooted it yet stock recovery alone is enough.....yes i have whole stock rom....i did a nandroid back up....but i cant upload the whole cause its too large
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sukarn:
As I said, swapping isn't needed on Xolo Q800. It works with the external card automatically. You don't need to do anything.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

You're right. I just tested, and my phone has this problem too. Let me know how it goes with the customer care.

I'm not too keen on sending it to them just yet. Even if I do send it to them for repairs/replacement, I'll do it a month and a half later.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brajesh143:
pls attach ur screenshot.....i have sent comparison pics telling about display problem to xolo care through e mail waiting for reply....pls attach ur screenshot...i want to compare....hope other members also check their display....and provide their attachments here...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NHS2008:
NOT a screen problem

App gets stored in app storage and data gets stored in SD card by default.

I can just flash stock recovery and do a factory reset. Right?

Any method to UNROOT?

ABOUT THE SMUDGY PHOTO.

It's not a problem with phone's screen but a software problem in gallery application.

I believe there is some compression going on.

See the below screen shots. One Taken in gallery app and one taken with file opened in ES file explorer app.

First is from Gallery and second is from Es file explorer app.

Look at the ABS....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sukarn:
See the first post in this thread for a method to unroot.

Steps -

1) unroot

2) flash stock recovery using SP Flash Tool

If you have installed a custom ROM, then you'll have to go back to flash the stock ROM in addition to flashing stock recovery.

I did have a feeling that it was the Gallery application messing stuff up, but I didn't follow up on it before. Its just not a priority :P

Yeah, you are right. Pixlr Express is also showing the image correctly, while the gallery app is messing it up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brajesh143:
yes flash only stock recovery....you told u havent rooted so why bother....??? do a factory reset and check with root checker you will see root wont be there anyways for wat u going service...??/

about the smudgy photo yes es file explorer does resolve this.....am just curious do u have only usb debugging in developers options...or do u have other options also...???

any fix for this gallery compression fix....??? is this affecting videos from mx player or from gallery....can u notice any changes..??

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

pls provide ur screenshot also bro for comparing....i have a doubt will it affect videos also...???

how to get the bakcup of entire stock rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brajesh143:
1-dont modify anything should be good as new that is factory default

2-back up ur stock recovery

3-flash provided cwm

4-go to cwm and do a full back up that is called a nandroid back up...:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NHS2008:
Boot into CWM as per first post.

Select 'backup and restore'

(Vol keys move up and down, Power key selects)

Select 'choose backup format'

select 'tar'

(For stock rom backup)

Select 'backup'

Wait till it finishes.

Once it's done, select reboot the device option.

You may optionally change the format back to dup, after your backup.

Also you can keep the backup safe in your PC. It will be found under SD CARD/Clockworkmod/backup/....(Dated backup folder)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NHS2008:
To overcome smudgy wallpapers,

Set Wallpaper from some other app rather than Gallery.

I use Nova Launcher, Hence when I set wallpaper through 'Nova Wallpaper, full resolution image loads up.

any news on stock rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NHS2008:
When you click set as wallpaper, select 'nova wallpaper' and not the built in wallpaper selector.

You simply factory reset your phone flash the stock recovery as you did flash CWM.

Backup the stock rom after flashing cwm. Before applying the root zip.
