[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
I could do the center clock, should i do it on stock or the blue theme? or both?

when you say one works, do you mean a honami pack?

Here's my goal, KISS, keep it simple silly LOL.

Now I tweak my phone way more than what I share, but i have found most like the stock flavor and then add their own visual tweaks. So I look at my rom as a base for users to use. As making a different visual mods is hard as everyone likes something different. and the time involved is hard to come by.

Now with all that said, I like the idea of knowing what visual tweaks users like, so I was thinking I would have had more responses and and was planning on having a pole with the top 5 request, and slowly adding them. You see I have no idea who's actually using my rom, for all i know I'm the only one using it. Which is cool as I'm not looking for accolades or recognition, just as my statement above say's, I'm getting bored with my ZL and I know 4.3 is still a month or 2 away. So I was looking for some inspiration from the people here.

I'm going to be adding an update in a week or two, as I have really come to enjoy Xposed, and I like the idea of the framework and tweaks ready to go after i flash. Ok thats all for me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
increase in battery life would be one of the best mods. with heavy use on the xperia zl i only get around 7 to 8 hours battery life.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
i think he means the camera .. its been a bit buggy

another request ...honami framework ! ..

i used it with ur rom .. but i dont know why it had glitches getting it to work along with the z ultra system apps ..

so just the framework would be nice .. i too use ur rom as base and then apply all the mods and xposed :)

another thing : xperia sp illumination bar port

http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/06/20/new-experimental-illumination-bar-api-available/

i dont know if this is possible but had to ask a dev to see ..it has a separate light settings in the display>settings ..
[Sony Xperia ZL] longryu:
I think you can extract it from room of xperia m:D

Testing new Rom for .67 Now. Should be ready by Sunday.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rookie123:
Thanks. That's good news... assuming based on new firmware ??

Also need your feedback on new Google Wallet (with Tap and Pay functionality) on your ROM or any 4.2.2 based ROM for ZL.

Is it possible to make it work? I have heard that it works for 6602 and 4.2.2.

Issue is - Tap and Pay get setups with no ERROR and build.prop modifications, but NFC is not activated at POS.

This was not an issue on 4.1.2 based ROMS on ZL.

Tried replacing NFC related files and libs from 6602 ROM, but has no effect on 6506.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia ZL] virusdunil:
Hi...any developpement ?.....
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
new rom released for .67, no mods added yet, so it's a vanilla version of xperia 4.2.2.
[Sony Xperia ZL] zombiej79:
Got weird issue with Rom once I switch Xperia home it goes all weird and off centre the bar at the bottom is really off. Cleared data no good

I would use the other xperia launcher if it had walkman widget

Also the camera is all messed up
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
Your right that is weird, I have not had any issues like that.

Did you restore any data after installing?

Did you completely wipe phone first?

Sent from my Xperia ZL, using mind control.
[Sony Xperia ZL] zombiej79:
Yeah did a wipe I might try wiping again tonight after work. Didn't restore any data either

Any fix for the camera?
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
Make sure you do a factory reset.

Let me know how it goes.

Also did you install any of my mods? I have not tested them yet.

Sent from my Xperia ZL, using mind control.
[Sony Xperia ZL] zombiej79:
Will do

No didn't flash any mods
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
did u change the launcher dpi via xposed ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] iggut:
That is the result of a dpi change. Most likely to 320 as that is exactly what my screen looks like if I change the Xperia launcher dpi to 320 :)

Change it back or force it to 480 and you will be back to "normal".
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
i have 320 dpi and it is fine ...

this looks more like dpi change in app settings xposed module

or clear xperia home data and see
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Was curious if you were going to do any mods for the .67 version like you did with the older one... (I like black theme stuff at this point...)

Don't get me wrong, I really like this rom... just asking if you were going to tweak it like the older one was...
[Sony Xperia ZL] dibulanjuni:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Nigel_Spur:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Rookie123:

[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Hmmm... since he hasn't posted anything since October... wondering if something happened to him...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Netuser:
If you look in his profile he got connected today, so I think all is fine, it is just maybe he don't have anything new to share on the ROM :P or maybe working on 4.3 :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
I will update as soon as we get an official C6506 version.

Sorry for the delay, plus I'm saving up for another ZL, It's getting harder to do this and not have a phone to use although it's my fault, I sold all my old phones.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
I guess that would explain it...
[Sony Xperia ZL] rfg13:
could we expect the new version soon?

[Sony Xperia ZL] bhundt:
I'm restoring my old stock Rom. the System UI keeps crashing, even after I did a factory reset. Like you said earlier, i'll likely have to install your rom from the US Stock Rom.

Cwm is now updated.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
just need to find the time to update links and post, i have spent my time working out the bugs for the docomo version. the 18 toggles will be next.

I will then package my visual tweaks and add the links to download and install them.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:

still working on 18 toggles.
[Sony Xperia ZL] spitzilla:
Does this ROM bypass the tether entitlement check? Im not sure if its possible with locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
i'm not sure i have never tried to use tethering. will try and post back.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
well do you mean when you select tethering you get a warning?

ex; when tethering is enabled, all packet transmission..... and so on.
[Sony Xperia ZL] spitzilla:
Yeah I have an unlimited plan that does not include tethering, so when I enable the wifi hotspot I get an error "Error occured during tethering"

This is on stock. I have heard there is a fix that can be incorporated into the ROM but not sure if you can change that much with locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rfg13:
anther way to root ZL

while going through the installation steps I used the following:

before start the process install new flashtool (Flashtool version 0.9.10.2beta6) , you need it anyway to flash US generic ROM,

when you finish with flashing the ROM you can root XZL without leaving flashtool and install busybox and superuser/superu

after that you can continue with HackitZ's instruction (#4).

meantime, thanks a lot a new ROM!

zl c6503 docomo

Wow, I'm looking for DoCoMo ROMs, coz I want to use DoCoMo sim card. Did it works on Xperia ZL C6503? And does this ROM has the DoCoMo certificate located in settings, about phone, legal information? Coz they asked for it when I went to DoCoMo shop to change from my current phone to this phone.

The battery icon is displaying the wrong value. Is there a fix?

working on 253 update, might take a few days.

[Sony Xperia ZL] pikeylfc:
Hi I'm using your Rom and just received this update will it brick my phone will I lose root?
[Sony Xperia ZL] jvs60:
I don't think it will update. You will get an update failed error message. I think you need to be on a stock rom to update via ota
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
don't update it, it might go through but you will at least end up in a bootloop.

with that said, after reading the update thread for updating to 253, i have decided to not release it.

on my xperia s and xperia t you could just flash a custom rom of a new firmware with cwm and root in the zip and not loose anything.

after reading about updating our new xperia line to the latest 253 firmware i'm afraid it wont work.

so with that said i'm going to just create an update after this step is done.

here's the link to update to 253 firmware.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rfg13:
hope you stay with us

this is really sad that you have decided not to release your ROM based on 253 :crying: I have fully satisfied with your works on both T and ZL. In this case may be you share with us how to add some of the features we enjoyed in your previous releases, like black theme in dial and message apks, metallic with dots theme, tool bar and etc. Anyway I wish you good luck with your future developments. :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
oh no I'm still working on the rom, but follow the update to 253.

Then when it's installed i'll have a 253 update to flash back the mods.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rfg13:
I think you could take a break and wait a little for 307 to be available pretty soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jvs60:
What can I do to this rom so that I can able to update to .253. The update keeps failing when I try to install it. Are there files missing or do I have to add anything for HackitZ rom to appear as stock so that I can update?
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
You should not try and update from the rom, either go back to stock and update, try nuts update (you will losse all parts of my rom) or wait for an update from me.

i'm busy right now so i have no eta, on a release date. i have two boys and a wife so time is hard to come by.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jvs60:
Ok, thanks for the response.

I Have yet too have any issue's with the look screen, maybe other users Can try to swipe sideways and see if its a bug.
[Sony Xperia ZL] matthewngsm:
This is the way how my lock screen looks like.

The camera icon is gone and the swiping from left to right does not trigger the big plus icon for adding customizable widgets.

I initially had the intended lock screen functionality but I do remember fiddling around with the lock screen and long pressed and deleted the clock or the big plus icon itself. It happened too fast before I realized lock screen is no longer the same.

Is there anyway we can invoke the lock screen, is there like a framework file I can adb back or .apk...

:( any help is greatly appreciated

Gotta say, this is a fast, and very comfortable rom. You have done wonders with this, on a locked bootloader too.

Amazing stuff. Only thing is:

1.- I haven't been able to get the Blue Theme to work (flashes just fine, but can't find it at all, so, using Ruby meanwhile)

2.- The 2.2 Blue theme link is broken, so, I got 2.1 instead. (Not that it makes a difference, still can;'t find it, hehehe)

The Battery Icon and WIFI and signal bars are awesome as well.
