AvatarROM Installation on Xperia Z on top of latest firmware!

Hi bippi79! First of all thanks for your awesome work and contribution to the XDA community! Now let's get to my problem. Is it possible to install the latest AvatarROM build on top of 10.1.1.A.1.253 latest firmware as I still find references to the old 10.1.A.1.434 firmware in the build.prop file included with this build!? Pls. kindly advise at your earliest convenience my friend as I'm willing to try and test this exciting new version. My best regards! :D

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Weebo release - 26/06/2013

WEEBO​

What is it?

Weebo is your very own googly eyed personal assistant, but with a twist. He does more than just take care of your reminders, he is able to automate your phone to a whole new level. He remembers your location, be it work or home, and is able to perform various tasks assigned to it without you having to do a single thing.

Weebo lets you go about your life and focus on the more important things while silently and efficiently taking care of the tedious ones.

What is new?

Although Weebo does sport a brand new look, the changes do not remain skin deep. Weebo features many in depth changes so as to facilitate daily user interactions. After collating data and feedback from numerous users, we have finally been able to put forward a compelling and easy to user automation app for your android phones.

Some of the essentials –

Rule Editing

Now simpler and more nuanced, the rule editor screen is a joy to use, both for old users as well as new. Focusing on simplicity and ease of use, the new Rule editor allows you to do the following easily and without any hassle-​

Edit the type of rule, and set a name for it

Icons for both adding conditions as well as actions, thus giving you easy visual cues while setting up a rule

Easier to make creative rules by mixing and matching different icons, and come up with new combinations

Broken Rule Indicators

As simple but useful feature, which as the name suggests, allows you to understand much more easily as to which rules are not functioning properly. In the screenshot, you will see this visual cue depicted as a broken arrow, thus letting you know that something might be wrong with that particular rule.​

UI changes to Locations and Rules list screens

The locations screen now features an option to selectively see what rules are available for you to use. You can choose to see rules based on their particular conditions/usage functions. Initially we have provided the following – Al/Enabled/Disabled/Battery/Location/Sensor/Utility. Also featuring minor improvements is the Locations page, where you can track various different locations depending on your choice.​

Features Coming Soon-

A move towards even more simplicity and ease of use by providing several UI/UX changes.

A brand new update to the location tracker using Google fused location provider.

Many more interesting features in the pipeline.

Please take latest Weebo

I downloaded the latest version 3.0 Arion, from the website (did get a notification on my phone).

Did a factory wipe, dalvik- and cache wipe and flashed the ROM.

When the phone is rebooted. I can't connect to the mobile network, it gives me an error on connecting to the mobile network.

Anyone else having this problem?

APN Settings

I get the same issue as haynesteve as well; Mobile network fails to register for data, and adding the APN settings manually doesn't do anything.

I also wiped the phone clean, as if installing a new non-Avator ROM, no dice.

Had to revert to 2.6 for the time being.

No mobile network after flashing

I just flashed Avatar and have no mobile network. Looking back through this post I can see this was an issue before but I cannot find a solution. It doesn't even ask for my SIM pin code so seems it's not even reading it and if I try to input APN settings myself it's not saved.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Neve never had this problem O_O did you perform a clean installation?? Alias full wipe, flash ROM, reboot, flash gapps?

Yes, twice now with factory reset and all cache deleted. Only thing I did different was install gapps at same time as ROM and didn't boot in between. But looking at this search other people have had this problem so was wondering if anyone knew a fix.
