im no hater... but STAY ON TOPIC GUYS! there are so many threads about these above mentioned issues! development threads are for bug hunting and rom development. remember, the op/developer has to filter through all these post's to help improve the firmware he/she provides to us for free! please don't spam the thread with issues that are not rom related. I realise also that this post is spam, but the needs of many outweigh the few...
[Xperia Z Android Development] talhamid:
You are very right, but there are several factors: there are many things in those guides that inexperienced users might miss (for example, a distinction between C6602 and C6603). Secondly, not all of them do a great job of explaining things. Thirdly, for many new users flashing a ROM is a great risk, and every ROM changes the phone in a different way, so it would be very comforting to find a breadcrumb trail right in the same thread as the ROM one is flashing.

Not that I am advocating such posts, but one also feels compelled to help when asked. Even the OP in this thread has helped many users (including me) on off-topic posts. But I agree, there should be a dedicated thread in all device forums containing all such advice rather than in the ROM forum.
[Xperia Z Android Development] kemmo123:
I feel we're on the same page here, all Im saying is there are far too many post's here (and most rom development sections) about basic xperia z/device flashing issues that have been solved so many times in the q an a section's for this/other device's. dev's give us what little free time they have to improve our smartphone experience. xda is an open source community to help everyone involved in it. why waste developers time with question's that (including myself) non developers/experienced users can, and have answered in other sections? we were all noobs at one point, but that's why general and q and a sections exist, to help one and other. thus my original point. stay on topic... rom bugs and development. sorry to spam your thread even more to the op.

I only asked the question here since I've got this actual rom installed

Hi Guys,

For Those want increase the volume of your XZ try this Mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302748

it will Increase internal/external speaker and headphone volume ;)

[MENTION=2446348]jeroenqui[/MENTION]

Hi Great,

do you have just the old mod, Volume Boost..try the new one above linked, is better and have also incresed the volume of the headphone ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] roninabc:
Jeroen,

It is great to see this rom is more and more evolving and there is constant development. The fact that doomlord is becomes part of this development is great. I've been using his kernel a lot, and putting these things together creates the best rom that's out there. Can you tell me if 2 way callrecording works with this kernel?

Tx! And keep up the great work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
DooMLoRD is not a part of development, I've just ported his features to the cm kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Now that i know that Pdroid will be implented sooner or later i will stick to this rom. Is it ok to make a request?

It would be nice to have the 7 button navbar. Most of the roms have this. Will it be here in the future?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
You can change the amount items you want in the navbar in ROM Control.

How is battery life??

I heard the battery only lasts 7 hours with 2 hours of screen on time. I need at least 5 hours of screen on time. Can this rom do it without disabling all kinds of crap?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
I got usually 4h on screen time with total time about one day..
[Xperia Z Android Development] knightsray:
Well my upgrade is available any time now.

The Xperia Z is hitting T-Mobile US in the coming weeks. Check this out...

Nexus 4 - 20$

Galaxy S4 - 150$

HTC One - 99$

Or I could wait for the Xperia Z. The waterproofing does sound amazing and I would like a bigger than 4.7 inch screen for reading my comic books(less zooming in)

What would you honestly do if given those options and prices??

Xperia Z supposedly 99$ also btw
[Xperia Z Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

I know but at least in my version it's limited to 5, not 7.
[Xperia Z Android Development] doctor78SI:
Can some1 PLEASE tell me how to downsize this ROMs screen resolution??? I mean not everything in life has to be HD you know. :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] talhamid:
I gather that you mean your screen/launcher looks tiny. Slide down the notification bar, your launcher's name will be there on one of the tiles; that's the shortcut for hybird settings for the launcher. You can set it to 480; hopefully it will help if I understood your problem correctly
[Xperia Z Android Development] doctor78SI:
Yes that helped a lot. But now icons are all over each other. Do I need to set something else?
[Xperia Z Android Development] talhamid:
Try a resolution of 380 or 400. Alternately, download and install Nova launcher, it will also allow you to customize Icon size.
[Xperia Z Android Development] doctor78SI:
OK thx. But I will stay with CarbonRom :cool: All you young kids with good eyes :laugh: As long as everything is as small as it can be you r all happy. Plus it must be labeled FULL HD. pfff
[Xperia Z Android Development] E90 Commie:
The first thing is that you have to include the price of the plan when you make calculations instead of just quoting "$20" or "$99". The device will cost $99 + 100 x 24 = $2499 in total - if you think about T-Mobile and their UnCarrier plan with monthly installments, you will still end up on about $100 per month including taxes and fees + installment $20 (based on the $70 plan).

So the best option in the US is always to buy the device outright rather than bother with the carriers and their "$99". Put it on a decent prepaid plan - your total saving will be between $870-1200 depending on plan over 24 months.

It is also important to remember that carrier branded Xperia Zs usually offer locked bootloaders that can't be unlocked. That means stock based ROMs only and since you are writing this in a thread about PA, I guess you are interested in AOSP/CM/AOKP based ROMs and for that, an unlocked bootloader is a necessity.

So my recommendation is that you should buy your Xperia Z direct from Sony and select the C6602 that works great on both AT&T and T-Mobile.
[Xperia Z Android Development] flytomars:
what do i need to wipe if i want a clean install on stock rom?

factory reset? cache? dalvik cache? system?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Make a full wipe, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] knightsray:
I am on a plan with my wife. 1,000 minutes, unlimited texting, and unlimited data for 109.98$ a month. Can't beat that. She upgraded to a Nexus 4 in February. Also T-Mobile US doesn't lock down bootloaders if it's up to them. They're more open than the other US carriers so that won't be a problem. Also I have an HTC Sensation right now which was one of the biggest dev communities so I'm very familiar with custom roms and everything they need to run.

So in the end it really does come down to those prices I listed being the only thing that really matters. I just can't make up my mind.
[Xperia Z Android Development] E90 Commie:
The thing is that all Xperia Z is delivered with a locked bootloader that can be unlocked through Sony and it is common that the IMEI of carrier branded devices isn't fed into the database over unlocked devices so there is a risk that it can happen to the T-Mobile version. I know owners of other carrier branded devices that complains about the inability to unlock the bootloader.

I pay $45 per month for my Z with unlimited talk, text but 2 GB of data so I am not completely sure that you have such an unbeatable deal. Regardless, carrier branding of any kind is a dealbreaker to me. There should be no single app, no single logo - absolutely nothing else than what the manufacturer put in and if I need service, I want to deal with Sony direct rather than go through a carrier.

So I am still in favor of an unlocked C6602 direct from Sony rather than a T-Mobile branded version. Especially since the bootloader status is unknown and I know that carrier branded Sonys are excluded from the unlock program in many cases.

If you insist on a carrier branded device through a carrier, get a Nexus 4 instead since it is completely clean and unbranded even in that case. On the other hand, after my experience with two branded devices in my life (Vodafone K700i and Verizon Thunderbolt), I think that all branded devices are downright crap that should be avoided. It doesn't matter what device it is, immediately when a carrier steps in and brands it, the result is much worse than the unlocked, unbranded version.

Having a T-Mobile logo on the Z? Ugggh.:D

I have a weird problem with the lockscreen 'rings'. The gesture used to unlock. There is another icon above the unlock icon which basically has the same function as unlock. I tried to reset the settings for the lockscreen shortcuts in Rom Control - Lockscreen but I still have it. Also, no matter what changes I do in settings like adding different shortcuts, it has no effect on the lockscreen. Here's a picture of my problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:

[Xperia Z Android Development] _DX_:
Great Jeroen! I love every change you've made in the list above. Except... the first one. For me the CPU is fast enough in this phone, haven't had any problems with it so far. So I don't need the OC and I don't want to risk damaging my new and expensive phone (I bought it off-contract) by having it run at nearly 2Ghz fulltime.

So, my question is; can I flash the kernel from the previous release on top of this release? Then I would have all the goodies and updates, but the reassurance of a CPU running at stock-speed.

Thanks in advance!

PS. If yes, then which file(s) should I copy over from the previous build?

Right when I flashed stock 253 FTF (performance and stability being the main reasons - also the Sony UI is rather good), this ROM goes from strength to strength. Once Halo makes it in, I WILL have to flash it again!

By the way, I have discovered that, impossible as it may seem, Sony seems to have drastically improved the brightness, contrast and viewing angles of the screen. Any chance those optimizations can make it to PAC?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
As soon as Halo reaches public beta, and the source code is published the PAC team will work their ass off to include it in the rom ASAP!

One minor annoyance I have with this rom (and I know it's a "feature" of Paranoid) is the recent apps button. Press it once and you'll see your recent apps, press it again and you'd expect to go back to your previous screen but instead it clears all your apps from memory. This seems really unintuitive to me and I can't find any option to disable it.

Other than that though I really like this rom and appreciate all the work that's gone into it.

Probably caused by a network error or something. The thing is, you cannot resume a restore once it's cancelled. Best solution is indeed a clean install (full wipe). Maybe next time use an app like Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data.
