can we have tablet mode only in apps like settings, gmail and maybe youtube while keeping the phoneUI status bar?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
yes, you can set any apps per dpi in App Settings Module (In OP) so if I switch back to PhoneUI Mode in the next version, all of you will still be able to choose per app dpi settings :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Shaiaz:
Can't get it over to my sd card :L tried downloading multiple times :(

EDIT:

Got over on my sdcard but comes with error :( Can't open
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
What do you mean?

Are you downloading via pc? it's recommended you download from PC...

I have decided to switch back to PhoneUI with stock 480dpi because it is the optimal dpi for our device + all the other software in the rom :)

But that doesn't mean you can never have Tablet UI, Xposed Framework with App Settings module will still allow you to modify per app dpi (Like in AOSPA) so you can still do things like that ;)

What do you think guys, should I release OTA over XperienceTabletZ? or upload full rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Shaiaz:
Upload full rom :)

But ye i'm downloading through pc, 2 actually :)

Says it's a bad file i think :? I don't know :( Your rom looks really good either way :) not that i have tried it though :)

Still nice work :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
yeah it could be that I screwed up with the upload last night...

Will try to upload the new version of the ROM ASAP today ;) already got all the PhoneUI Features back...

The new name for this rom will be EXCELSUS Z :D

Here is a changelog:

v1.1.0:

-Added Seeder 2.0.0 entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction by lambgx02

-Removed Tablet things and back to normal phoneUI

-Added DoCoMo status bar thanks to niaboc79 with 25dp nav bar

-Back to 480dpi

-Fixed all previous bugs that were because of TabletUI Mode incompatibility
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
48dp buttons will come in v1.1.3 but I'm keeping the transparent status bar and nav bar.

sure, go ahead

how about you try your self???

No. If I did then I would add to the Features list in the OP :rolleyes:

waiting for v15 wont fix your problem because you already have v15! (See changelog)

When I release v15 of PXA, it will be the same changes...

Do you have any other mods installed? try using just the rom itself like I am and see if that fixes it :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
I have just exfat and size 36 soft key mod installed, does these cause the problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
What's your SD Card size? (It's related to the I/O read ahead buffers)

I have 32GB Micro SD Ultra and I have no problems, my audio files are stored on my SD card too.

I'm not quite sure that exfat if related or not to the problem but try just the rom itself (and 36dp mod doesn't matter, you can install that) and see if this problem happens :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
I have the same SanDisk card as yours (same size) and mine are stored in the SD card too!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Try without exfat mod and see if that makes a difference
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
Ok ll test it out and let you know :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] flytomars:
Is aosp browser included?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No
[Xperia Z Android Development] mr_maiden:
Looks very nice. i'll try this ROM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] flytomars:
Could you please add it? Some users like me want it.:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Can't you find it somewhere else on xda? I don't see any point, it's not like you have no browser in the rom, chrome is already included...

you can find the AOSP browser on xda instead :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
Buddy this is a pure reworked stock rom with added features that gives you extra smooth and stable performance than before, if it's edited to provide aosp apps then the word 'stock' won't be applicable. Only Sony stays close to original aosp in their roms now. So try using chrome, its way better than aosp. And please fellas don't ask for aosp apps in pure stock based roms! There's CM, AOKP, even Sony jumped into AOSP bandwagon as a part, so let's improve the provided stock roms shall we?

Is there any solution for skipping channels at higher volumes?

I mean, the PureXAudio is perfect sounding but this bug is a bit annoying..

By the way, your ROM is brilliant! Tested all other ROMS for locked Bootloader, your is dominant. :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I listen to audio at 3-5 steps below max and I don't get any skipping at all :confused:

OMG this was the problem! All this time I was hearing at high volumes that caused the skipping and after reading this post I found out! No problems now at lower volumes! So EXfat mod was not causing the problem! But I hear at high volumes, is there any way to fix this at high volumes?

I have already mentioned it before but i thought i was the only one . It's a problem with the docomo mod . when you use stock camera and select effect camera you get FC.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v1.1.3 OTA is out! :D

4x MSAA is now enabled with texture tiling and forced texture compression thanks a lot to MrTapa from OptiMax rom! :D

MSAA only works on most games which provides support for it, you can tell it works because it will greatly improve the visual 3d shapes! :)

I know there is a new firmware out, I don't really see much of a point if it doesn't have much changes... If you guys want me to upgrade to new firmware in v2.0.0 then I'll do it but could take some time :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Maddhouse:
Any chance you can make it aroma installation and option between TWRP and CWM also size of navigation bar ect.

Thanks

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I've had very bad experiences with AROMA installer (If I didn't, sure I would be using it already ;)) such as syntax errors, stupid little mistakes which make the installer go BOOM, occasional errors like freezing/crashing, and it's really time wasting just manually adding lines onto the aroma script every time you add an option :) Sure, it's easy for users to choose the options but for the dev it's annoying :p

I think its fixed in v15. To play safe, lower one level from both maxed in call and loud speaker.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Read the changelog, it's a mod...

you must of wiped cached SOMEHOW but just don't know what.

Try again but you must be very careful, make sure that you never, ever touch the cache partition.

I have had no problems with freezing anymore for 2 months now because I have never touched the cache at all, only the dalvik cache.

Are you going to release a new version with the new firmware?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Not yet, next version will be v2.0.0 and I need to find time to add all my tweaks and mods back in the new firmware (Which i find very annoying)

Probably by next week, you'll have v2.0.0 ready

v2.0.0 will be a full rom this time due to the firmware upgrade

Scratch that, I'm too eager to try the new firmware myself :D ROM will be released this Sunday ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Thanks :D

Can you make it already rooted?

Would be great since this firmware is patched...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah I'll try avoiding that rw random reboot bug you guys had with pre-installed root ;)

A lot of mods won't be in v2.0.0 since they don't really work with the new firmware :)

Oh and I will post new instructions on how to update v2.0.0 (To avoid loosing root)
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Can't wait :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v2.0.0 will not be released until a root exploit has been found for the new firmware.

On a related note, I have screwed up my XZ by constantly flashing between the new and the old firmware LOL I'll stick with the new firmware stock odexed now until this has been fixed :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Advoc@te:
I had 1.1.0 & it works normall. Then I flashed in CWM 1.1.2 & 1.1.3 & received problems: incorrect work of proximity sensor & freezes in menu.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Something is wrong, Proximity sensor works for me (Whilst in calls screen turn black when near the ear) and also what do you mean by "Freezes in menu"? are you talking about the menu button in some apps? because they work fine for me as well

Thanks again
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
V2.0.0 is out!

YOU MUST FOLLOW THE NEW INSTRUCTIONS IN POST #3 TO NOT MESS UP INSTALLATION! I will not be responsible for any damage you have caused by not reading/following the instuctions carefully!

And guys, the reboot on mount system root is there, I will fix in next OTA but temp fix is to use terminal (Or on windows, adb shell) and type in:

su

/system/bin/stop ric

and it should work without reboot now (you have to do this everytime you reboot, next OTA I will make it stick)

If you have Xperia stock themes installed in the addons section, be sure to download again as I have the new stock themes from the new firmware now (smaller size too!)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eric1214:
my device flashing, i hard power off that, now like can't going to recovey , only stay the sony logo.....oh my god...........
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Did you even follow the new instructions in post 3?

If you can boot into sony logo, you can downgrade your firmware to .434 via flashtool, obtain root and recovery and do the steps again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] eric1214:
at the flashtools what is need to click ? wipe ( DATA, CACHE, APPSLOG) << that need all click? and then , the EXCLUDE and Misc there need click someone or not?? thanks ur help
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You can wipe data if you want, that's not a problem. Don't exclude anything, I recommend you flash everything/wipe everything for a super-clean flash

Then you should be able to flash my rom (By following the new instructions in post #3) without problems like you had before...
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Zero I love your work and I used your EXCELSUS 1.1.3 until yesterday without problens, great stability and battery.

But I think you should have waited a little and release a "perfect" Rom with the necessary patch for root...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I guess so but I was too excited for the new firmware anyways :p

At least I got everything in the new firmware now, saved me some time instead of doing it later :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] RokkaMan:
I have to say I'm a little confused by the instructions… clicking NUTs link, where i see his build number, i only see EXCELSIUS Z v1.1.3 OTA. Out of the three alternatives on post #3, what choice do I go for? :S
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
EXCELSUS Z is .434 (I put that on the features list remember? but it's now changed to latest firmware)

Follow the 1st set of instructions "If you are on .434 hand have not upgraded to new firmware yet..." :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
I understand you :p

When will you release the patch??

wow amazing i love your sound mod work on xperia and the htc one thanks:D

can i ask ive had nothing but problems with any rom with root (i get temp root,then full root, then bootloops ect and with your rom trwp thinks ive wiped the cache which i haven't then i have problems with that) i really dont understand whats happening im following the op to the letter

obviously im not blaming anything with the guides i was just wondering if you may know anything that can help me :(

ive even swapped my xperia z with the girlfriend for her htc one and im not keen i need my xperia back ha ha:laugh:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Traxx67:
Hello ZeroInfinity,

when the 2.1.0 release is out i will try your rom. But before this a have a question.

I'am on RomAur 2.6 for LB, this rom is 434, i have the root and the dual recovery. Must i do this ?

Or can i flash it in the recovery?

Must i do all wipe?

Thank you for your answer.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
the instructions in post 3 is the one I used successfully in installing/upgrading to the new firmware. I can't really help you much on that sorry.

Something you must of been doing wrong on your XZ that's causing a lot of root problems. I'm afraid that's all I can say :)

Yes

EDIT: EXCELSUS Z V2.1.0 OTA is finally out! :D Enjoy!
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
I might try it later :)

Two questions...

For the 2.1 OTA do I need to clear davik or not?

Why use the Global (Singapure) Rom?

In my experience that version (on my UK Z) consumed a lot more battery than the one I'm using now (Central Europe).

Can't understand why but I notice that...

And has less bloatware ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Because that was the only available ftf file at that time :)

If you can link me to the Central Europe link, I will rebase it in next version :D (I too prefer the Europe version)

2.1 OTA wiping dalvik cache is optional but I recommend it for this update :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] AnubisNefer:
So, is v2.1 based on the global firmware or the European one? And if not, any ETA on the version with the European. 253 ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Fasty12:
Quick question

Im on Cm10 atm and not really sure what my firmware version is. Should i follow the first set of instruction or the second?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
