Any plan to make one based on 4.2.2 leak ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] phantom4u:
update?

I installed this rom just a few hours ago and now I'm consistently getting the notification to update to 10.1.1.A.1.253. I have tried to update via software update from within the phone and also by Pc Companion and after downloading it says unable to install. Can anyone help? If i can't update is there a way to turn these update notifications off?
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
the solution:

"

how:

"

USE Search!! follow the flash kernel's instructions... & say thanks...:good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] phantom4u:
what if im on locked bootloader? i thought i can't flash kernel if i have locked bootloader!
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
did you read the first page... second post??? the "LOCKED Bootloader" installation thing?
[Xperia Z Android Development] phantom4u:
alright alright thanks :p +1
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
that's what I've been thinking, but it's my freaking mistake to flash the rom on LOCKED bootloader, I should have unlocked it first before flashing so I won't be bugged by the update notification :)

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

I don't have that bug, I could toggle the speaker while on call. I don't have PureXAudio either. Maybe that's the problem
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
or use Font Changer Lite app, I don't know if it's still in the Play store

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]: maybe this is OT but what will happen if I selected 'Yes - Disable recovery flash' in CWM? I just select Go Back and it reboots...

does it have an effect on anything?
[Xperia Z Android Development] mmamedov:
I figured it out, it was because of PureXAudio. Thanks for respond :)

Nice de voir un dév français (du moins on dirait, vu les screens). En attente de ta v4 sur Jelly Bean pour enfin passer aux Custom Roms.

P.S: Pourquoi avoir enlever PureXAudio ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] os_sleepless:
I like this Rom very much and using it since version 2. I like the dark themed things. Just one "bug " : in sms I can't read numbers in received messages because the difference between background and color of numbers is not so good. Is it possible to change for next version?

Over all its the best Rom for 6603 in my mind.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mmamedov:
Please make it installable with Aroma Installer to choose which apps you want and what size of navbar and etc.
[Xperia Z Android Development] campoki:
Love your v3 ROM! Especially the overclocking, black and the notification bar features.

Although I do question it at times, it is safe to turn off quite a few cores isn't it? Underclocking should be used more than overclocking due to the poor battery life on this device. (But's that just my opinion).

Right now having no issues at 1.134GHz, but just wondering if I did use an application that was demanding a bit of power and the CPU was clocking at 100% at 1.134GHz, this doesn't affect the deterioration of the hardware does it?

Also finally made 10 posts so I can point out an error in your instructions on step 9.

You say to "Plug USB again while you are pressing volume up", however I think you're meant to state "while you are pressing down.

I'm surprised nobody else has pointed this out yet :)

To stop .253 update notifications, I planned to unlock the bootloader the official way then reflash the rom(stupid me, forgot that flashtool can unlock it as well), and this is what happened (please see attached image).

now my phone's in a bootloop... please advice me on what to do...

thanks!

edit: did it all over again(fresh install)...

edit 2: [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]: can you explain this screenshot? I've tried to do a fresh installation with bootloader unlocked, and still this happens

Out of curiosity ....

Anyone can help?

I have Kernel 307 .... out of curiosity ... can I flash baseband and kernel without bricking the phone instead of the 253 one?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Why do you want to do that?

As the 307 kernel is a stock kernel, you can't brick your phone ;)

If something goes wrong just flash a ftf with flashtool ;)

Flash stock kernel with flashtool, see FAQ.

Or in system/app remove UpdateCenter.apk

Hi Many thanks for your prompt reply sir. As it happens I am a bit confused with the installation process.

- I rooted the 434 rom

- I installed CWM but still don't know which option to use exactly

- I am in the process of installing the ROM in this post ( I have a locked bootloader)

- I was going to install it from CWM using "install from sd card"????

- I am just guessing here .... I am putting the zip file I downloaded from here in the clockworkmod folder of the sd card

- I was then going to use the flashtool to flash 307 kernel and baseband primarily because they are newer than 253 no ?

Please correct me if I my approach is wrong ....
[Xperia Z Android Development] Gugoo:
When do think you can release the v4 ?

P.S: Why did you choose to erase PureXAudio ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] L0cke:
Anyone point me to the appropriate 10.1.A.434 Firmware to use to flash back too, in order to root and then flash this ROM

EDIT: Surely 10.1.A.1.434 is okay to use, as that is rootable? I'm sure that's what I had before I went to CM and other AOSP ROMs, just I lost my Sony backup so would like to try some Sony ROMs again but never used Flashtool.
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
alright! thanks!

that's what I should have done last saturday(which resulted in a bootloop)

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

you could use the Global version of the 434 FW, and you are correct this is okay to use, in fact this is one of the requirements.
