I found the build.prop file and I went in to edit it .The only thing I seen was a lcd density tht was set at 320 I changed that to 480 saved then reboot and that didnt change anything So I'm not sure what to change in that file

hello

what would be the best solution to have a smaller but not tiny throughout the system dpi?

such notification bar etc. ...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vaith:
Use search button... Jesus, people learn how to think!!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
The only "Normal" dpi is either stock 480 or 320 (which I don't think it's too small at all...) every dpi inbetween is not a "normal dpi.

480 dpi is Extra-Extra high density, 320 is extra high density, 240 is High Density, 160 is Medium Density and 120 is Low Density.

If you choose a different dpi, let's say 400, it will still look a bit big due to it using extra extra density. If you choose 360 then it will either use extra high density or extra extra high density.

Man, this is awesome.. Thanks a million for.this! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Hey guys.. Question!

I've tried to change dpi values via xposed so don't say i didn't look.

About the walkman and weather widget.. Any Chance of setting the size on them?

Not working via xposed here:screwy::confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vaith:
Change dpi in build.prop.
[Xperia Z Android Development] liliha:
I have always gotten FCs on the album and walkman apps, i think its something to do with my unlocked bootloader and lost DRM key because i can fix it by flashing rizal lovin's xperia z album/movies/BE2. Either that or its a honami thing? This flash also gives us unlocked bootloader peeps the BE2 which is nice
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vaith:
Look at thread name. This is answer to your questions...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You have forgotten that once you unlock your bootloader, you loose your FROM partition FOREVER

No BE2 in this rom... So I don't know what your talking about lol

Albums and movies Fc is fixed, use the SEARCH feature and you wouldn't be asking this...

Swiped from my Xperia Z (C6603)
[Xperia Z Android Development] liliha:
It wasn't a question, I was just stating that I also had the FC problem as people have posted above, and provided a workaround I use for those who have an unlocked bootloader but also want to enjoy your great rom. Flashing rizal lovin's zip will give back BE2 to those people who use this rom with an unlocked bootloader also.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ionakr:
Hi, i'm using this ROM and i like it! But the volume is not really louder.. just a little bit... how can i get louder music?

For those who find lags, i find this ROM faster than the stock

ps: sorry for my bad english

I will IGNORE every request asking to increase the volume more. No. End of story.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Ionakr:
kk, i was just asking if I can do something from option or some app.

BTW this is a great ROM a lot better than stock.

Just a thing. i've got the album problem too!!! My bootloader is unlocked, yes, i try to wipe album data and cache, yes, i wipe dalvik cache too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Use the SEARCH FUNCTION to find your answer to your problem

it's not hard, if you searched correctly then you wouldn't of posted your problem with Albums FC bug here...

i searched for the album, but i didn't find anything, i solved downloading the new apk. Now i'll seek for music problem. Sorry i'm new here and i found like 10 minutes ago the "search in this thread" option.
[Xperia Z Android Development] yt92:
sorry for spamming, just ask, when is the next release?

anyway, it's almost a perfect ROM!

just ask that why no x-reality engine on my phone? only BE2?

and how can i change the battery icon? I used to replace some files in systemUI.apk and put it in system/app, but failed on your ROM, any idea?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Search the thread for your answers, no changing battery icon on this rom, no idea about systemui and NEVER ask for ETAs

For the 320 lcd density, I've resolved the 'missing' call button in the phone dialer and call/receive call interface problem by installing apk (phonebook.apk and semcphone.apk) from ZU system files.

No need to use Xposed framework

No problem so far.

I manually copy the file and overwrite the old apk in /system/app/ . Make sure you've set the correct permissions before you copy.

Reboot and enjoy.

Someone could confirm if that rom is free of the 4.2.2 battery bug? Just had a few hours play to downgrade yesterday... and not again ...

Thanks,
[Xperia Z Android Development] dirtyjeff:
I think this will have the battery bug due to it being based of the latest Sony release.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Norair:
Will the next Update be based on the latest 10.3.1.A.0.244 ?

Changelog of 10.3.1.A.0.244

More smooth Boot animation

Efficient RAM management

Home launcher is smoother, no more lag

Update Center has new UI

3G Signal strength improved

Touch response is improved a lot

Faster sleep and wake

Low-light image quality improved

Changes in car mode app

High resolution image snapping while recording a non-HDR video

No screen flickering

No unusual battery reading bug
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No rom is free from that bug. If you have searched or read this thread, it's Sony to blame for this issue.

The newest firmware which just released apparently fixed the bug, I am going to rebase the whole rom onto that new firmware and hopefully release v5.0.0 in the next few weeks :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
Can you keep the smaller soft keys pls??????????? :)

keep the great job!
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
I not blame any dev. As repair tech I know that is Sony's bug... Keep on eye than. There no update on Emma yet, at least not for UK market. I only see that, since My company only repairs UK handsets. For EE.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

if this is not in this way then please guide me how to do i am kinda new, although i have managed it just copy phonebook.apk in /system/app

It worked for me in phone dialer as i was only missing call button there.

I'm removing some Honami apps in the next version.

The only Honami apps that will stay are: Email, Home, Small Apps (open 3 at the same time), (Added) Honami Camera, X-Reality (Not really a app), Settings (If I can get it to work without any major bugs), Conversations, Notes, Sketch and the Keyboard (Again, if there is no major bugs).

I will also be adding stuff from Z Ultra (Togari) like the Phonebook + SemcPhone (Thanks for pointing that out [MENTION=4338115]jeopardise[/MENTION]), Themes and Start-Up Wizard.

Also, tweaked Interactive Governor for better performance :D

I will post a full changelog after I have made it boot properly without any problems :)

is the stock DPI 480 iv just moved from nexus 4 so don't no what stock dpi this is iv google it to no avail
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
1080p XXHDPI devices are always stock at 480 dpi

my rom changes to 320 dpi which looks exactly like it does on the Xperia Z Ultra so everything should have more space (If you look at the banner in the OP) :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] buster041284:
yea iam on your rom at the moment my eyes not like they used to be;) so the 320 looks to small for me that's why i was asking the default to change back to in build prop good rom keep up the good work nice to see some uk dev's doing great job's did't no we had some brainy people left in the uk :p

Hi Zero

pls - can you solved problem with Exchange Security for Honami EMAIL apps ?? In version 4.3 still not working and I must change Honami EMAIL back to the old version.

Thx for your job :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yes, yes. I have added the new Exchange2.apk from Honami's dump and it should work in the next version (Can't test it myself)

Ive tried clean installation and got FC with semcphone.apk.

Just copy phonebook and it be ok. I m not sure why it worked with both before.

However receive call will look a bit different :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You're the only one to have this issue which means you have a problem with the phone. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the rom because I have never had this issue in my life before...

It could possibly be the font that you have chosen. Try reverting the font back to stock and see if that works. Any bugs caused by other apps/mods are not my problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] saud-33:
Yeh that work now :)

Thanx!

Brother i got OTA updat for ALBUM and then for WALKMAN app

if u need then i can extract from rom and upload here for u

Another finding.

Phonebook.apk from latest .244 firmware also works well in screen density 320.
[Xperia Z Android Development] secondkai:
What did u mean? The latest xz rom doesn't have a problem with 320dpi anymore? We dont have to use z ultra apk anymore?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Seems like Xperia Z and Xperia Zu have the density size merged together in the system apps so there is no need to use Z ultra apps. XHDPI is used like in Z Ultra so will take care of any gui bugs with 320 dpi :D

Really great news..love using the phone in 320dpi..480 is way too big and ugly..keep up the good work zero, can't wait for ur new rom..
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeopardise:
By theory, it should work and it does.:D

I've flashed to Excelsus rom 4.3 with full wipe and tried the new apks to get the result.

.244 semcphone.apk stock firmware doesn't work with .423 rom.

ZU semcphone.apk also doesn't work with latest .244 rom.

I think .423 rom can use semcphone.apk from ZU if some framework/library is ported from honami rom. This suggest why it works (both semcphone and phonebook.apk for me last time around.

---------------

Now I flashed to the .244 stock rom, edited build.prop. I am using Home.apk from ZU to make app drawer showing 5x6. Original Home.apk showed 5x4 only at 320 lcd density. Perhaps clear data will fix it.

If you are adventurous please do backup :eek: ...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
lol too bad the software stuff in Xperia Z Ultra is currently not available even though Sony advertised the phone with them before the release :p

I still can't get the rom to boot up on this new firmware lol, If it's the honami apps then I will only keep: Honami Camera, Honami Keyboard and Honami Home. (And X-Reality)

Then I can just wait until Xperia Z Ultra releases an update with the new apps/UI (as advertised...)

I wish x-reality will be fully compatible with our xperia z and not dependent on the snapdragon 800
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
This is NO WAY NEAR TabletUI, if you think this is small them clearly, you haven't seen the real tablet /phablet UI yet.

If you wanna change it then go to edit build.prop. I have already posted a method for this somewhere in the thread. Use the search function to search for it because I am not posting it again.

What the hell are you talking about?

It's has NEVER been HARDWARE DEPENDANT, I don't know where you got this info from.

NO image processing engines has been hardware dependant. It will NEVER BE hardware dependant.

If it was hardware dependant then it won't work at all for any other chipsets...

Kosaka is the developer of x-REALITY got from sonys blog..:(

Kosaka: X-Reality™ for mobile analyzes videos one frame at a time, estimating and complementing any lost information. The algorithms reproduces lacking pixels to optimize quality for the sharpest videos. It analyzes elements depending on the scene and adjusts them based on pattern, outline and colour composition. It also enhances colour composition, vividly reproducing hard-to-display natural colours. The adoption of the high-performance Snapdragon 800 has made it possible to perform super resolution processing that had been difficult to do thus far.

It is unrealistic to use the exact same video processing chip found LCD TVs in a smartphone for various reasons such as power consumption. The distance that users view smartphones at also differs significantly from LCD TVs.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
"The adoption of the high-performance Snapdragon 800 has made it possible to perform super resolution processing that had been difficult to do thus far. "

Only Super Resolution Processing...

where does it say: "X-Reality is only for S800 devices" HUH?

X-REality is for everyone, Only Super Resolution Processing is not possible with any other chipsets but who actually needs Super Resolution Processing on their phones?? It's not like you are going to play a 4k/2k HD video on there lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ame123:
sorry but i think u are wrong here..super resolution processing is not only for 4k/2k video..heres the the description of super resolution from sony:

Sony’s unique Super resolution technology analyses each pixel in an image and reproduces the ones that are lacking, giving you the sharpest images.

heres the link..check the x-reality section:

http://www.sonymobile.com/in/products/phones/xperia-z-ultra/features/#display
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
So now I have a question. If X-Reality is hardware dependant then shouldn't the Image processing engine just fail when enabled? Why does Image Processing still occur if it's only dependant on the S800 chip?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ame123:
May be that particular super resolution feature wouldnt work without the s800...maybe i would be wrong and i wish that i am wrong and we also get the x-reality with all the features it has...just waiting for the time when u guys get zu firmware..sorry for all and keep up ur good work..
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I find it pretty stupid of Sony not putting X-Reality in the ZU when it came out lol. I mean, if it's advertised with the software in the first place, it should of been released with that software :p

I think somewhere Sony said that they will give us X-Reality to Xperia Z users sometime at the end of this year. Not sure if this is true but if it is then we know that Sony is going to make X-Reality work without any hardware dependant features :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] saud-33:

please add x reality engine & bravia engine on next update >> together

and honami camera

thanx my brother for your hard work :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
X-Reality and BRAVIA Engine is IMPOSSIBLE. As stated before somewhere in the thread. X-Reality files replace BRAVIA files, it's impossible to have BRAVIA and X-Reality when they are both using the same files. Anyway, why would you want both? Overprocessing is NOT good and will make image quality a lot worse.

Honami Camera will be included.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dreamville:
Doesn't the monx ROM have both in which you can select one or the other or am I mistaken?

Xperia Z Vanilla
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You can have 2 options in Settings but BRAVIA does not work as previously stated somewhere in the thread...

Only X-Reality will and it is impossible to enable both simultaneously. You either go for BRAVIA or X-Reality.

Hi Everybody,

I have a little problem with the Call Button.

So i folow your instruction :

Fix call button in dailer bug:

1) Download xposed framework, install it and press install/update when you are in the app and reboot
2) Download + install app settings module
3) Go into xposed installer > modules and tick app settings and reboot
4) Search for SemcPhone
5) change dpi to 480
6) save changes and it should be fixed now

But in the step 4 i can't find "SemcPhone" in the list, i just find "téléphone" (phone) but not SemcPhone.

I try with 'téléphone" with 480 dpi but it's not working :(

How can i fix it ?
