Hi,

I have flashed the XzKernel-20 but Still Xperia Z Perform the complete Boot While connecting to Charging DOCK in ShutDown Mode.

Previously I have Used RomAur v10 - JB 4.3- 10.4.B.0.569 - FAST-STABLE - AROMA and DoomKernel v20 with No Problem At All.

Any One Having Same Issues , Please Check and Confirm :confused:

hi,

I got an "installation aborted" message in CWM while I was installing the ROM, it said something about symlinks missing.

where should I place the zip file?

mine is in /external_sd/flash files/eXistenZ v5

now going for a fresh locked bootloader install :(

FAILED due to "invalid stored block lengths"

it's strange, the ROM had a "symlinks missing" error message when I flashed it in CWM.

and the generic unbranded .569 Swiss firnware had an "invalid stored blocks length" error message in Flashtool 0.9.13.0

has anyone experienced this?

please help!

Hi, im having problems applying themes on this rom. Everytime i apply a theme, only the wallpaper changes.. The colors, navbar, ecc, remain the same,, help anyone?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
This is a Known Bug of Sony 4.3 Update. Nothing To Worry, Just Reboot Your Phone Once after u change the Theme. It will Fully Work after reboot

is it possible to have this rom on xperia z ultra :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
it's strange

when i was on the step: flash the ROM and SuperUserFix, I was getting an error regarding symlinks, and consequently, have to abort flashing...

I did all the steps before encountering that...

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], any comments? this is about the ROM itself, not anything else :)

I have this problem when I want to add applications for Stamina Mode. It just stays blank like this. Does anyone else have this problem? I just reflashed this Rom yesterday due to installing Blend Mod screwing up the Rom. Did not try the Stamina Mode on v5 Black, before reflashing.

Problems solved after wipe cache and dalvik cache. When i wanted to add Applications to Stamina mode. 'Setting' forced closed and suddenly I can add Applications to the Stamina Mode
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
I used CWM as recovery, although I booted straight to recovery to access it, not via power button + vol down
[Xperia Z Android Development] fervorous:
May be you can try reflashing recovery to your device, use the version from [NUT] but not the BETA version.

Video playback.

So as i said on my other post, everything works so great but after sometime passes i cannot watch a video because it freezes all the time and i have to reboot and wipe cache/dalvik to watch it. . Any information on that and if i can solve it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
EDIT: reflash recovery, but I'm on a bootloop, must I do this using flashtool(flashmode or fastboot?)

EDIT 2: i just flashed the 10.4.B.0.569 kernel, but if I'm on a bootloop, what should I do next?

and if not, how would I know?

I attached the flashtool log file for your reference, please skip to this entry: 03/004/2014 22:04:05

Xperia Z Complete Boot Problem Fixed after Shutdown Mode

Hi

I have found the Solution for My Problem.

It Seems to eXistenZ v5 ROM by default Installing XZDualRecovery by NUT.

I just Rename the file "dualrecovery.sh" Like "11dualrecovery.sh11" Under /system/bin/ directory.

So now My Xperia Z Perform Boot till display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger or Dock Charger After Shutdown Mode.

Now Finally My Xperia Z Complete Boot Problem Fixed after Shutdown Mode,:D

Thanks to Me.
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
Ok I am not quite sure what this feature is or how to turn it off. If I tap the screen a couple times fast then the scree gets a blue border and zooms in. Because of this I am unable to play many games on phone because it won't let me tap fast enough w/o zooming in screen. Maybe I'm just missing it, but if there is a way to disable this, I'd love to know. Otherwise this ROM is running outstanding and benching 2.5-3k higher than previous ROM

Hi Niaboc. Having a crazy idea now. Instead of reinstalling the rom and supersu fix to change from ultra to black theme, could you either provide us the list of apk in system/app folders that are themed black so that we could just pushed these apks to the system/app folder with right permission and reboot to switch between black and ultra? Because switching between black and ultra will results in lost of root and supersu and also xposed framework.

Or maybe a zip to flash in recovery to switch between both?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Panaroma:
Hey ;)

Never had such problems. I used ultra for several month. Last Sunday I made a backup, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed black Rom and everything works great that far.

But when I click the image, either one of it, it only showing me blank like below. All this MMS is viewable previously in stock messaging app.

The image is gif file, saving it out still can see just cannot see inside messaging app.

When I hold and press the image and pick play slideshow. Also blank as below.

I just try send out a gif and jpg. Jpg can see but not the gif. Both is viewable last time.

I attached one of the origin gif image for you to try out.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
I don't have any of these problems, maybe bad data transfer from your provider.

First 2 images are with stock messaging app, then the same with the eXistenZ version.

Last images are your gif ;)

When you click that image (that gif), it won't show. No issue with normal image-jpg. Only image-gif.

Not related with service provider as that gif already being download just will appear at your messaging app.

You need try play slide show with that gif not normal jpg image.

Normal jpg image, I also no issue. Only issue with gif image.

Only issue with GIF

noob question :(

If I use flashtool can I just flash your rom straightaway? Or is it necessary to install stock rom then recovery etc? I do not want my currently installed apps etc.... and do a factory wipe (from the os itself) do I risk losing things such as the stock items that come with the os or drm keys? etc?

I downloaded the v5 from the OP(made a Mega account as well). I also followed the instructions in the OP(from eXistenZ 4.x.x).

I did a reboot to recovery from the Power Menu.

But here's the problem: I flashed the ROM in CWM, but the message shows something about "creating symlinks failure", then I got into a bootloop.

I downloaded and flashed in FlashTool a Swiss FTF from Mega but an error showed up: "Invalid stored block lengths"

It's strange to see that error in CWM, much more in FlashTool.

It's the first time I rebooted straight to recovery from the Power Menu, and I must surmise this could be a reason why I got those errors. Can you confirm?

or should I redownload the ROM instead(even more baffling than the Power Menu)
[Xperia Z Android Development] pxrave:
repair with pc software

or try a other rom with flashtool

do a full reinstall!
[Xperia Z Android Development] yujin_11:
thanks for the suggestion, I'll go with option 1 as it is a bit faster to download with SUS than downloading an FTF.

i intend to do a full(fresh) install since I can't flash the ROM as of posting time.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Futura2000:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] just a suggestion could you add the md5/crc32 checksum to your op for this and your ultra edition rom so the users could verify the rom has downloaded correctly and it should stop most of the post's complaining about problems installing the rom due to having corruption's in there download without knowing it.

You can use Z1 Camera Tweaks and disable the start up sound there, it works for the 4.3 Black Edition of my Xperia ZL.

I just installed eXistenZ Black v5. I noticed I'm having problems with Xperia Connectivity. I can't use Throw and Media Server features. I came from eXistenZ v4 and everything was working perfectly. I could 'throw" media files from Xperia Album, Movies and Walkman apps to my XBMC setup so I could enjoy media consumption on my HDTV. and I could browse media content of my phone from my PC. and now I can't. anybody could confirm if it's working or not? Or is there anything I should/could do to make these features work?

This ROM is awsome. One of the most usable (if not the ONE) as a daily driver.

The only part I can't understand is the following : every time I try to move to another kernel, my device doesn't reconize my exFat formated SDCard.

I had the same symptoms with the previous eXistenZ versions. Anyone has (had) the same problem?
