[Xperia Z General] scorpi786:
Good review agree with you on most things but tbh I can't notice any lag. They should improve the speaker though.

And it would be nice if you could change the application drawer in some way.
[Xperia Z General] keyz86:
It might well be that I have quite a few widgets and folders, but seeing that Apex never lags with exactly the same layout, there must be an issue somewhere but as always, every body's experience will differ.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
my gripe is every pic on whatsapp shows up in gallery of the phone :(
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
Hi,

Can you run the sony widgets in other launchers?
[Xperia Z General] asadkhanduhh:
i also enjoy the xperia z quite a bit.

i am a USA user, & the phone does quite well, although without 4g capabilities.

i was previously using a lumia 920. & this phone is much more of a beauty, & elegant than the 920.

i will have to admit that the 920 did take superior photographs in night time situations, eg: night club photographs, out @ night photographs with friends. etc.

i look forward to many more sony flagship handsets.
[Xperia Z General] keyz86:
Use a file explorer to add a .nomedia file into the Whatsapp picture folder and you will no longer see them in the gallery.
[Xperia Z General] keyz86:
Unfortunately not, they will only run on the Xperia Launcher :(.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
So when people say that the XPERIA launcher lags in comparison with other launchers, that could be in fact derived from the SONY widgets. Did anyone made a comparison without these special widgets?

(I would make it but I don't have yet the XPZ... :()
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
My launcher never lags. It works better than Samsung's, Apex and at least as good as Nexus' stock. The thing is, I only use 3 homescreens and total of 1 widget ( the weather one ). It starts to lag with more homescreens and more than 10 widgets on them.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
I have it. And still evaluate it since I use T..

And I must say I am undecided! The biggest change would be actually the RAM....

I love the size and ergonomics of T...

Z is great but there are few annoying gripes, which may disappear once I will mount an SIM card...

- Sony Store doesn't see my phone as Sony (?) so there is no dedicated Sony bookmark.. Visible on T

- The keyboard doesn't show .pl shortcut for web addresses endings, T does.... And my T is global, Z is Tmobile..

- Socialife at least on WiFi is totally unreliable - what is the pattern of updates? I mean I refresh and get only Twitter and FB updates from few hrs back, not the newest ones.

Timescape was accurate!

- Lack of camera button, however it's a smaller problem I thought

- This phone is actually a bit too big for me!

- Chrome - chrome is SHIIIT! It has problems with fonts, it doesn't txt reflow. Why Sony deleted this great browser from T and left this JUNK!!!

So a tough choice I must say...!
[Xperia Z General] Dpk1:
About the size, ergonomics & physical camera button, I share similar thoughts, so chose the ZL (almost the size of XS, only bit wider) over XZ (at the expense of water/dust resistance).

Chrome, I agree, is bit laggy, text reflow doesn't work, and consumes more battery (maybe coz its resource intensive). But it supports most websites (like sony support) better than other browsers. So, I use dolphin browser most of time (& chrome only for websites which dolphin doesn't fully support). It is faster, phone doesn't heat up, and consumes lesser battery compared to chrome. But, I do wish sony had a stock browser (like in the Note2 or Xperia T).

Yes, I guess. Btw, the xperia home never actually lags for me, only occasional stutters if using weather/photo widget. There is a modded Xperia launcher with lots customization options (no root required), which imo is better compared to stock. You may search for it on xda.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
I would totally go for ZL but due to ATROCIOUSLY IDIOTIC Sony strategy it's not available in Europe (in most countries).

I tried Dophin but hate the UI so I actually use Opera Mobile 14 beta...
[Xperia Z General] abd_alazeez2002:
It only lags when I go to the home screen that have two weather widgets as they are refreshing.

Other than that no lag.

Also it seems that XZ launcher freezes or sleep in the background while you are in another app to save battery and be easy on the ram.
[Xperia Z General] :
nova launcher

ebay?
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Heh yeah, probably a good choice.

However my Z came to me for free, and for the next month I am travelling much, don't have a chance to even receive the postage ;)

Maybe I'll try that.

But I am very very happy to see one thing:

Z has a fast and precise zooming & shooting, meaninig I can shoot night shots with onscreen button without getting blurry.

What was my main concern regarding Z versus ZL.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bbelos:
CyanogenMod 9 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

This is a preview build of CM9 for the Samsung Galaxy Player 4. It may cause all the things in the disclaimer to happen, or steal your girlfriend while you are busy flashing ROMs.

Note: Please backup your efs in case of something goes wrong (the zip should backup it but we're never too sure) To do so execute this command:

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

Preview Install instructions:

1. Download cm-9-20130402-kernel-preflash.zip

md5: 4a900fcddbc3d81d121a7b9c9d4bb0a0

2. Download cm-9-20130408-UNOFFICIAL-ypg1.zip

3. Make all your backups.

4. Remove external sdcard (will be resolved later)

5. Make sure your efs is intact (not blank).

6. Boot into recovery, make more backups.

7. Flash cm-9-20130402-kernel-preflash.zip (temporary workaround for first-time install)

8. Flash cm-9-20130408-UNOFFICIAL-ypg1.zip

Installation Notes:

When you install for the first time, there is a conversion to the new MTD partition layout. The installer will flash the new kernel and reboot. It is possible for this process to hang up on the samsung logo (still working that part out). It is normal to see the Samsung logo appear 3 seperate times during this reboot phase. **Please wait at least a minute before assuming you are stuck.** If this happens, you should extract the boot.img from the installer zip and flash it with heimdall (heimdall flash --kernel boot.img, or other appropriate GUI methods). It should boot back into recovery and continue the installation. Once the install finishes, it should reboot once more back into recovery, which gives you the opportunity to flash your gapps.

**Google Apps are not included in these ROMs. You'll need to install those yourself if you want them. Recommended and highly suggested are the 4.0.4 gapps from goo.im.

Known Issues:

Back Camera: Still pictures work and will be clear although the preview window doesn't focus correctly. Video recording is working?

Front Camera: Still pictures and video works, although it's rotated 90 degrees.

Bluetooth (Turns on, but devices are not visible) Fixed 0405

External sdcard symlink (can still be accessed through /mnt/emmc)

Here's the gapps package if you want them:

Gapps Package Download

Also guys when you will enter into recovery using the three fingers method, it will do the same as like when you installed it the first time. (It will reboot 3 TIMES so don't panic if you think of it as a bootloop.)

Forgot that one too, if you have an external SD card inside your device, it's recommended that you remove it prior to the install. (if not well CWM will give you an infinite bootloop of installation aborted. The only way I've seen to fix it is to format your sdcard but I didn't want to go all through this soo...)

You will need a FULL EFS folder to install this rom as the installation script will check it. If you don't have it, you will have CWM bootloops. YOU'VE BEEN ADVISED!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
THANK YOU GUYS!!! So basically, go to CWM, then back up first.. Then install right? That's it... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yeah that's basically it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
OK then.. Right now my player's being backed up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
i thought that if you tried to backup in the current CWM, it wouldnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Its backing up just fine... Its taking quite a while though.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
well thats because you are on GB with a GB kernel. i dont think it works with the current cm9 kernel that most of us have
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
DAMMIT! Idk what happened.. It was flashing and then the screen went blank all the sudden and now its stuck on a solid Samsung logo! D:

Edit: I saw your post where it says to flash the boot.img but it said flash failed :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Forgot that one. It may be possible that you get stuck at the Samsung boot logo. Try either bbelos solution or flash back to stock and retry.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
I flashed back to stock and now I'm flashing TerraSilent.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
two reasons why flash failed:

1. dont have the correct drivers

2. you need to be in download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Well, don't try to do a dirty flash... It won't work. Neither flashing when you are already on mtd. Anyway, I'll wait till monday to get my backup on my other computer and test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zamuz27:
So happy to see more progress on CM9 for the 4.0.

I'm going to try this out, but I'll eventually go back to Gingerbread since I want to have a working camera. I have everything backed up, including EFS. So to go back I could just flash my GB backup over CM9 and it should work, right? Just want to make sure before I jump in.

Thanks for the hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Nope, you would need to go back to GB then restore your backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] markymark567:
No you will have to restore stock first then fix your efs, then i think you can reflash cwm and restore your backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
It keeps on going on and on... It keeps on rebooting... What have I done this time? I followed the instructions...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
It's here, huray! :P

Out of curiosity, is there anything fixed in the rom from older releases, or is it mainly the cwm fix? I notice the only bug listed is camera - that would be nice, lol!

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FizzleDiz:
Go to your settings, then battery. See if there is anything eating up alot of battery or causing a Wakelock. Could be an app or game you have that's causing it. Could also be the battery going bad if it's been over charged or gotten wet. There an app in the market that shows how and when apps run, and it shows the battery they use. Sadly I can't remember it's name, so hopefully someone will chime in and let you know. It should help single out a "bad" app.

There is Phone Idle which uses 45% of my battery

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FizzleDiz:
Download Better Battery Stats from the market (or elsewhere) to find out more specifically what's eating up resources. Since you're on a stock rom I believe your problem is either a bad battery, or an app/game.

hey try this method ...

1 .. do not overclock

2 .. do not put ur mob in cover

3 .. do no over charger means remove charger when mobile is showing full charge ,

4 .. (funny one) if possible , try to use mobile without back cover for five min in between 1 hour ,

5 .. use good rom for ur device

this is very easy steps u can use it normly ... if it happen still i will prefer u to go for service centre ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FizzleDiz:
1 .. do not overclock

Nothing wrong with it if you know what you're doing.

2 .. do not put ur mob in cover

Nothing wrong with a case. If it leads to overheating then there is a different problem.

3 .. do no over charger means remove charger when mobile is showing full charge ,

I agree 100%.

4 .. (funny one) if possible , try to use mobile without back cover for five min in between 1 hour.

Nobody does this unless there is already a problem.

5 .. use good rom for ur device

This is a matter of opinion. Stock, or a vetted rom. Up to the user.

1, 2 and 5 don't apply to him. 3 is important for him. 4...couldn't hurt I guess.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trytohaxme:
Hey guys,

I purchased this phone today, went home and immediately rooted the phone.

Everything went fine, until I tried flashing a custom recovery than the problem occurred,

I'm on a FL24 basebad with 4.0.4, and every time my phone boots 10 seconds later it restarts.

What's going on?

I rooted the phone with Odin, once rooted I installed mobile Odin and flashed a customer "Kernel / Recovery" now the phone constantly reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Install the stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trytohaxme:
Well the kernel I flashed was 0.4.0, I heard that one has reboot issues so I flashed 0.3.0 and it's working great.

The only thing I can't figure out now is how to flash CWM, keeps taking me to the download screen when booting into "recovery".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
To boot to recovery

Vol up plus power and hold

Once the splash screen shows, release power and continue to hold Vol up.

You will get to recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trytohaxme:
I must not have been holding it long enough, appreciate the reply.

How come E4GT ROMS are so large in size, back when I had an EVO and Optimus roms were about 100MB, E4GT are about 500mb?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockingfreely:
Well sounds like the recovery was either flashed wrong or is defective for whatever reason..

Here is how to root that version by qb77king. He is very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmKN2ewatk&feature=youtube_gdata_player.....

here is a video for the recovery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb63ldWtnoM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

So I'd like to help but need to know more info to go by. Did you enable USB debugging when you flashed the recovery? Anyways go ahead and go to stockroms.net. there you can find a stock ROM to flash your phone with unless its virgin or boost.

I recommend just getting stock jellybean or wild for the night cyanogen.. I know you just bought it but I can tell you its worth it ICS is horrible,Too many problems. You can actually find a jellybean ROM that is already rooted when u flash it.. Anyways download the android root toolkit from the market... This will save your phone's root
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
No. Already fixed.

Don't listen to this guy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockingfreely:
Hey Trytohoaxme. So as of right now there is no cmw for ICS. There is Agat recovery which is based off of cwm that is for either a ICS ROM or jelly bean ROM. I have cmw that is a jingerbread kernal that interfaces with CyanogenMod 10.1 which has 4.2.2 jellybean. If you flash clockworkmod it won't work with a stock rom your phone won't be able to boost up..

Graydiggy u are pretty rude. I hope to god your mom raised you better. Show some respect on this forum, XDA is a place for positive feedback, not negative people who criticize others who which are naive and conceited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Who's conceited? :confused:

I'm pretty sure he's just trying to help and avoid misinformation, no need to get offended, bud... And the op stated the issue was already resolved.

He never asked about cwm specifically, just a custom recovery. On TW ICS I've used Agat's, Ruj's, and Slesh's kernels/recoveries without issue. There's really no need for EL26/CWM tar unless you want to play it safe (which i do) going from TW to AOSP or vise versa.

And yes stock TW ROMs are huge. AOSP ROMs end up around 240 megs (give or take) including Gapps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Well when people like you give incorrect information like you are currently doing, or makes everything more complicated than it should be, again, something you are doing, I will be rude. ICS has had source for a very very long time and has had a CWM for a long time. JB does not. I have been here for a long time and there is a reason I have recognized contributor. I may be rude, but when someone else risks someone's expensive phone, sometimes it takes being rude. If you can't handle it, oh well.

The reason for my response was because the issue was solved and the stockroms.net is not a site that I trust. We have a repository for all of our stock ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trytohaxme:
I already upgraded from ICS FL24 to JB GB27.

The problem I have as of now is, I don't know which roms are compatible with my device?

I'm on JB 4.1.2 GB27, does that mean I can only flash GB27 roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
You can flash any ROM for the E4GT... You are in the right forums for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trytohaxme:
Oh okay, I was asking because the thread title of most ROMs say "[ROM] FL24 Kuban Kernal" ETC..

Since I'm on GB24, I can still use EL26 ROMs and all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Just read the instructions for each ROM. They will tell you exactly what is needed.
