i get bootloop from just full wipe..

reinstalled 244 using Flashtool, rooted, install dual , wipe all , still bootloop :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
bootloop??? I have tested the latest zip myself and seem to flash fine without any bootloops...

Can anyone else confirm? If there is a bootloop issue, I will have to definitely fix tomorrow...

For any future users, please do make a backup in case you get bootloops, just so you can restore your phone in working order...
[Xperia Z Android Development] bong0x00:
i dont know why.. but that happened to me.. im on 244

wipe including system

please wait. i will try once again...

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Confirmed. Bootloop again after last try...

installed 244 > root > intall dual recovery > wipe all includng system > flash bootloop
[Xperia Z Android Development] -WP7User-:
Yup, got a bootloop too unfortunately...

EDIT: But as soon as it's fixed I'll flash the Rom, can't wait to get my hands on it ^^
[Xperia Z Android Development] changkho1908:
we have to do these steps?????

6) Turn off the device (In TWRP, just press power off in reboot menu) (In CWM, hold power button + Vol up until vibrates 3 times)

7) Load up the firmware in flashtool

8) Exclude System partition when flashing the firmware via flashtool

9) Once system is excluded then flash the whole firmware like normal

10) Reboot and you should be booted onto EXCELSUS Z v5.0.0 without any problems!

11) Optional: Now you can restore whatever you have backedup

.........shjt...bootloop :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Faelz:
When i flash the 244 firmware without the system partition i have to clear cache and data?

Can't wait to install it *-*
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Oh my guard I wake up early in the morning and I am very suprised here hajahah
[Xperia Z Android Development] changkho1908:
then you will be disappointed because bootloop :lol:
[Xperia Z Android Development] loveninecube:
I flashed .244 UK Firmware via Flashtool and flashed DooMKernel v13.

after reboot, I flashed EXCELSUS v5.0.0 via CWM, but bootloop is happended.

Please fix ASAP.
[Xperia Z Android Development] philipsim@live.com:
yeah i have that problem also, the suspend_backoff wakelock. Could you look into it zeroinfinity?
[Xperia Z Android Development] eccomania:
hello,

thanks for the great rom, does this rom support exfat ? I have sandisk 64gb micro sd formatted exfat and I use it now without issue with other rom but I want to try your rom too so will my micro sd card work ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No idea, I didn't use any mods for exfat so it is possible that exfat isn't supported...
[Xperia Z Android Development] eccomania:
Ok at worst case i can use exfat mod :)

but i need to replace framework.jar file, did you do any modification to that file ? will it conflict somehow with your tweaks ?

Sent from Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No modifications with framework.jar so you can flash any mod you want ;)

v1.1.2 is coming out soon....

Here's a changelog:

ETA: Either tomorrow or Friday

OTA is only 8MB! :D so easy to update ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eccomania:
cool thanks for the hard work:D and will the soft buttons have stock size ? because it is too small to tap it :crying:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Should be back to 48dp ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] Th3_Ghost:
Has somebody noticed that camera effect has Fc in the camera app ?? It happened on other rom when i flash docomo mod .
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
Nope. Never had that issue unless you are using cybershot mod.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Th3_Ghost:
I mean when i use the camera in normal mode and when i try photo effects i get fc . I have try both camera and cyber shot it has the same issue ... Maybe bad install from me .
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
No, it is not supported. In order to enable exFat, you can just install Z-exFAT_Installer_for_DooMKernel.zip mod if you are using his kernel. :cowboy:

Hope this help.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
Thanks, I found that 36dpi is best in terms of usability and to maximize the screen. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] bandario:
Honestly this is the best looking rom I have seen for the Z so far but I can't bring myself to try it as the install process looks so convoluted and I am on unlocked bootloader.

Can we not just get the final version as a flashable .zip without worrying about any OTA updating after the fact - all previous experience with using any kind of OTA update on UB has bricked handsets.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Ota is very simple. I release the files I have modded and added into a flammable zip and it just flashes on

I don't think it's even possible to brick your phone just by doing this...

[Xperia Z Android Development] smax1991:
Hi, i have a problem with your rom. The phone never go in deep sleep, but it stay at 384mhz cpu and battery drains fast...
[Xperia Z Android Development] andreipga85:
For sure your problem is not rom related, but APP related.

Try to investigate more in your app list and setting and try to find out what's keeping your device partially wake.

Use battery sam from market or betterbatterystats.

If you type on google something like : battery life android you'll get houndreds of tutorials!

I'm getting minimum 1 day on Battery with:

1. Stamina mode activated ( with wahtsup and gmail added on except list ) - With LED mod

2. WI-fi by locations ( cause i have alos a big data plan )

3. Using greenify for hibernating apps that i do not use very much

Also i have 4 email accounts set on mannualy sync but i sync them about 4 times per day.

Facebook configured

etc..

With all of the above i still get more than 3 Hrs of screen on.

Best of luck.

Regards
[Xperia Z Android Development] smax1991:
hi thanks for repling... i found it happens when i have wifi on and i am conected to my home wifi network.. if i turn it off the phone goes in deep sleep.. dont know why... already tried to reinstall with full wipe and it do it also without installing anything from market but only turning on wifi...:confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] andreipga85:
Do you have viber installed? or any other app which is changing wi-fi policy?

Also check wi-fi settings in advanced menu.

And also see if something is wrong with your Router. have you tried on other wi-fi network? i've had this kind of problem once and it was router related. i changed router's channel and worked fine after.

regards
[Xperia Z Android Development] eccomania:
hello,

I've been using this rom for almost 2 days but the battery life seems worse than stock one, with stock rom I could use my phone all day at work and when I'm home I would have %40 battery remained but now its like %15 battery at the end of work hours.

is there anything that I can do to fix this issue ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Next ota will improve battery life with New init.d scipts ;)

Also, I think I will remove rtmixmanager because it's probably causing some issues...

If I have time I will release tonight ;) if not, then definitely tomorrow

I restored ROM backup (eXitenZ v1 Ultra Edition) and flashed EXCELSUS v5.0.0 via CWM.

After reboot, boot process is successful, but statusbar and navigationbar is gone.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeopardise:
perhaps need to flash kernel and baseband only after flashing the new ROM?

Haven't tried.
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
hey, i am just a bit confused about something.

In the OP you stated that you tweaked the interactive governer, but since this is made for locked bootloaders,

it will only stay on the stock kernel ?

so does the tweaked governer apply to locked and unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I didn't say I tweaked it in kernel or ramdisk. I tweaked it in set_governor.sh.

Not all governor tweaks rely on editing the ramdisk or kernel ya know...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
so does that mean if i flash a custom kernel, your tweaks will still be kept?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
it should be, yes.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Azri Bovier:

[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
I think I will wait for the mirrors :) mega is too slow
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
MEGA uses the full upload/download speeds for me lol. Speed probably varies depending on country :)

Everyone is fully aware of the bootloop by now. If you have made a backup (as I have already warned in the OP) then restore that.
[Xperia Z Android Development] shokeen77:
Please tell me...

Should I install this.. Rom or not?

Is that bootloop problem still there...

Anyone can confirm...
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Restore your phone but if you dont have backup you need to wait for zero to update the rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I have seen 2 people getting it to boot up with some bugs but the majority have bootloops.

Will fix ASAP when I get home

I will try and flash the rom again. If it works for me, even after a full wipe then I don't think I can fix anything...
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
You can do it boss..
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
What I mean is, if I get it to work even with a full wipe, there is nothing to be fixed...

While I'm testing guys, you can try the method above because someone at least got it working without any issues...
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Ok if that is really the solution ill download it later

Im very lucky I didnt deleted excwlsus z V.4.0
[Xperia Z Android Development] Azri Bovier:
Zero..

Finally it work....the alternative way you provided works like a charm..finally i can enjoy the rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
So it's just the way of installing it which caused the issue? better put in OP then :D

That means I don't have to do anything! :D

EDIT: Tried flashing the ROM again, it was fine after boot up. Full wiped then flashed the ROM again and was also fine. I guess it was just the method of flashing it i guess...
[Xperia Z Android Development] jwveggie:
Yup! Tried what Appienl said and it works like a charm! Although now i keep getting the "Android is Upgrading" pop up after every reboot....

Zero! Is it possible to get the previous Screen Lock animation back? I prefer the slower fade than this one. Hahaha!

EDIT : Fixed the "Android is Upgrading" thing by wiping Dalvik again. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stony-D:
Need i to flash v4.0 and than v5.0?

I'm on 224 with doomlord Kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] jwveggie:
Yup! Flash v4.0, boot to system. Then reboot to recovery and flash v5! Remember to clear Dalvik after that!:laugh:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
All the instructions are there... just follow them...

May be different for unlocked bootloaders though...

Sorry mate, all part of the Honami framework I'm afraid and I don't know what files are needed to be put back in order to restore the old lock animation... I don't wanna break the Honami framework.

Anyway, is it really necessary?
[Xperia Z Android Development] jwveggie:
Oh It's alright! Great work! :laugh:

Loving the new animations hahaha :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] nCuXaPaA:
Good job!Work perfectly.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dreamville:
I take it this 5.0 is only bravia engine right? I prefer it anyway :)

EDIT: I have made a backup of all data, everything using CWM however it is a previous version of your ROM. I think 4.2 which I'm currently on, id like to make sure I can restore all my apps, settings, everything to the new firmware. Im thinking if I reset back to the stock new firmware and then upgrade to 5.0, then try to apply my old backup it would produce a bootloop. What app should I use to back up my apps, settings and everything so I can quickly restore it?

Xperia Z Vanilla
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
no, look at the banner in the OP... what does it say? That is why the add-on to restore BE2 is still there... lol

If you wanna backup your apps easily, I recommend Go Backup Pro. It allows your to batch backup your apps, Settings, Wallpaper, Ringtone, Wifi etc all in one go (And you can select what you want to back up). You can also have an option to upload your backups online with Dropbox or Google Drive so you won't have to store then on the storage :D Titanium Backup is only useful for single backups IMO.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dhruvzz:
Working well on unlocked bootloader with doomkernel v13... I used ultimate backup pro to restore my apps with data...grt work..

Installing V5

Thanks Zero for your great work.

Im on V4.3 right now, rooted and with dualrecovery of course .

can i just do a wipe and flash V5? or do i HAVE to flash stock firmware and flash V4 again? it seems like doing one step twice to me, since im already on v 4.3, and have root and recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
It doesn't matter what Region the firmware is in. It's not like the stupid CIDs on HTC RUUs (Thank god!) so you are allowed to flash whatever Region firmwares you like without any problems.

I never use Nova Launcher so I wouldn't know... Is it just my rom causing this problem?

there is one with Xposed Module in Xperia Z Themes and Apps Section. You can get it from there.

No, you guys already have a custom kernel with custom recovery installed. I'm not quite sure how it works on unlocked bootloaders though...

Unless you want bootloops, I strongly recommend you do as the instruction says.
[Xperia Z Android Development] yt92:
is there any way to return to the EXCELSUS 4.3 look, like xperia z ultra?
