Anyways, best you go onto a stock rom first (including full wipe) then update via PC Companion. This is to ensure that files leftover from this rom are removed to avoid incompatibility with the new firmware if Sony does not wipe system partition before installing the new firmware.

Hey peeps!

Im a newbie and feel a bit lost. Im coming from unlocked bootloader with 4.2.2 stock rom, rooted and installed TWRP.

I am confused about the instructions; I dont know what to do with flashtool, quote:

"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"

We are talking about SonyEricsson Xperia Flasher by bin4ry & Androxyde / Flashtool64? It starts good and says that root is working and such, I dont know what to do from step 7, what firmware? how do I load it in flashtool? Where is the exclude system partition command? Is that visible when Im about to flash a firmware?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
There is only 1 flashtool, that is SonyEricsson Xperia Flasher by bin4ry & Androxyde. There is no other flashtool that exists.

7) the latest firmware or in other words, the firmware that the rom you are installing is based on. (e.g. my rom is currently on 10.3.A.0.423 which means you must find a .ftf firmware file for 10.3.A.0.423)

You can exclude system partition once you choose the firmware you want to flash in flashtool

If you do not know how to use flashtool, there should be a guide somewhere you can search on XDA
[Xperia Z Android Development] hobs0n:
Ok, thanx Ill check that out when I have the time :) Thanx for the quick reply!
[Xperia Z Android Development] araheels:
OH GOD, September is too far yet, desperately waiting for next built.

I hope and pray for you that the new built when ever it will be should be the same like this 4.3 one

full hi-res framework without any FC and battery friendly.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah, I'm taking out most of the honami things because they cause problems to some users (honami home launcher will still be included because I love that so much lol)

I will have some tweaks in init.d scripts to make it battery friendly and tweak interactive governor to become very fast.

If i get the rom done in September, that means I can focus on audio developing in August. Better to focus on 1 thing at a time than all at once.

43.1MB? OTA Update? Can you upload it for me and see if I can just replace some files to update the ROM to the newest firmware without having me to do everything all over again...
[Xperia Z Android Development] saud-33:
Maybe i lose your rom and root if i download it :(

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Ok i well upload it from my brother phone

Just tell me you need the full stock rom after update or just new update files (43.1 mb)?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jberanek:
I have this update also... anybody instaled this update now??
[Xperia Z Android Development] tokomoto:
Thank you so much for this great rom! I just got this phone on AT&T and I COULD NOT for the life of me figure out how to go AT&T data on this phone until i got this rom. I love that you have the Download settings for Internet and MMS feature. You're a life saver! Thanks again and please keep up the great work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
What are you talking about lol, stock firmware has download settings for Internet and mms feature... It's really nothing special lol

[Xperia Z Android Development] hobs0n:
Im sorry, now that I read more carefully I found out that I can just install this Rom via TWRP since I have the same firmware (10.3.A.0.423) :)

Thanx again for being friendly to my newbie questions =)

EDIT: Got it installed with all updates and MAN is it wonderful ! :) First Stock launcher that is actually usable :) I might even keep it, altho Im missing the features of Nova :)

Thanx again!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jberanek:
Hi ZeroInfinity

We understand that this is not the time to develop a new version :(

We hope it will be better soon period and you can upgrade to a 10.3.1.A.0.244 all your best Honami modification!

your ROM is probably the best of the current releases :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] MasterfullDON:
I hate the dialer, its a nightmare to make and receive calls from the stock dialer.Even after the corrective tips from Hackedieter

Can I replace the stock dialer with an alternate one , of so any suggestions? Can anyone upload a good stock phone APK, One which has call options for vibrate on connect, end call , button answer? I personally hate the slide to answer thing, I prefer buttons.
[Xperia Z Android Development] darksoul21:
Thank you. It looks great. Can you confirm the C6606 (Tmobile) can use it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No idea of compatibility with other models, this is strictly made for C6603 models.

You may try it if you want but I won't be held responsible for any damage caused to your device (includes bricking it etc.)
[Xperia Z Android Development] darksoul21:
C6606 tmobile a nono

Then I guess its not. Its gets stuck in a boot loop and any attempts to restore cause a boot lock with the sony logo. Had to get into fastboot and use the flash tool to attempt to load a big .sin file to bump it into flash mode to wipe and get the stock rom loaded back.

i have downloaded the 43,1 MB OTA update...where is the update ? which folder so that i can upload it....

edit: ok sorry i've found it...

it's uploading...

edit2: DOWNLOAD LINK FROM OTA UPDATE http://uploaded.net/file/lwas8chx
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Too late for the OTA now xD I have just rebased the whole rom to the new firmware today. Really fustrating thing to do because of the Honami stuff. The only things I'm keeping from honami is Home, widgets, Small apps, X-Reality, Sketch and Notes. Everything else is such a pain to make the rom boot up.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Norair:
oh really sad :(

what about Contacts,Dialer,Settings? no chance? i like that settings is white

sorry for bad english
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
it's just that it's really annoying dealing with these on the new firmware, they can easily lead to the ROM not booting and having me to take more time into continuously restoring my backups...

It's more stable and better this way.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vaith:
Monx made Honami Rom and his Rom works great. He takes everything from Honami. You should ask him how he done that.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You must be talking about Honamix rom, that is not the same though. His main Honami i1 Essentials rom is not updated yet so I can't get the full Honami stuff...

His Honamix ROM is a bit of both, so he hasn't taken everything from Honami... It's just a mix...
[Xperia Z Android Development] pacotaco2010:
I Can confirm, i have a Tmobile XZ running this rom, and it is definately one of the best

For more detail, and pre caution download the Generic usa ftf file to flash Your 6606, to 6603 firmware i excluded the.baseband to play it safe. Folliwed the instructions on Op (+excluded baseband) and works like gold
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Like everything from honami stuff :)

Boss can you add tap to wake feature please
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I don't see why everyone likes this lately...

Anyways, I have no idea how to do it. See Monx's reply here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44529373&postcount=645

IMO There isn't much of a point in doing this lol, just use the physical button to turn on...
[Xperia Z Android Development] hobs0n:
Hello peeps!

I got some problems with this Rom :/ It reboots all the time, for example, when I tried posting about this in this thread with both Chrome and Opera with the phone, it reboots after only 1-2 sentences. IIRC most of the reboots have something to do with internet connections. Other problems is that the Sony launcher is sloow but maybe that is standard with that since I am used with Nova launcher. Another problem with Nova launcher is that I no widgets works with Nova, everytime I try to configure a widget it stops and says that "settings has stopped".

What to do ? Did something go wrong with the install of this Rom? Is it a good idea to find a error log? Reinstall the Rom?

EDIT: Since I installed this from the previous latest Stock rom, maybe I should try installing it doing a factory reset before?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I have never encountered any random reboots before. You are the first one to report of a random reboot bug related to Internet connection.

My rom uses the Xperia Home from the Honami leak which has some issues with RAM and can sometimes lead to a lot of lags, rebooting will get rid of this problem. I have fixed the problem in v5.0.0 (not finished yet)

I think it's best to make a full wipe and reinstall the rom again to avoid strange problems which no one else except you are having.

Sent from my Xperia™ Z smartphone
[Xperia Z Android Development] hobs0n:
Im thinking of trying that yeah :) And by full wipe you mean wiping cache, dalvik cache and system (what they are called under TWRP/Wipe menu)? And after each update, do a dalvik cache, reboot and boot it normal, reboot into TWRP?

EDIT: It seems like it means factory reset? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Full wipe means wipe /data, /cache and /Dalvik cache. /System partition is automatically wiped clean when installing the rom so you won't have to wipe it yourself.

Basically, a factory reset.

Best to wipe Dalvik cache and cache after each ota update.

Sent from my Xperia™ Z smartphone
[Xperia Z Android Development] hobs0n:
Okidoki :)

Thanx again dear sir!

EDIT: Argh, did a factory reset, and installed the ROM with all the updates without a reboot... which ended with a bootloop =) Now Im installing them one by one with reboot in between... Being newbishh is sechsy yeesh.. ;)

EDIT2: after a few hours of running the intarweb reboots seems to be gone. Can't get widgets to work with Nova tho :/ and superuser says every time after reboot that it's outdated. That was also before.

is there errors on what I did?

It's never a good idea to skip OTAs if you didn't know that. What will happen if you skip? You will obviously skip important updates...

[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Yeah right thanks boss I cant wait for the update excelsus base on latest firmware.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeopardise:
the fullscreen toggle/desktop expand just like monx did in the latest rom is really useful.

after 3 updates, excelsus rom should repacked to have all of the updates in one so that one does no need to install updates one by one. I read so many enquiries of how to properly install one by one.

Even I had problem like installed the same update twice because I forgot which update I have installed. Ignore my suggestion if this will take time, and should focus to the new rom based on .244. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
My upload speed is an average of 80kb/s.

Packing up OTAs and uploading another full rom will just waste 3 hours of uploading.

This is why I even upload OTA updates, if my upload speeds were faster then it would all be full roms...

[Xperia Z Android Development] bong0x00:
Don't mind comments... OTAs were enough :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stevenx3:
i have installed this rom..

And, what i do for not have Xperia z Ultra dpi, i want 480 dpi ... Thanks

And i don't have x Reality, i have Bravia Engine 2 ...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If you want to change dpi to 480, edit your build.prop, there are loads of tutorials out there.

This has already been reported many, many times. Already said that I will fix in next version.

PS : PureXaudio is not integrate and i don't have chrome or navigateur web in the rom.. ^^'
[Xperia Z Android Development] Linshart:
just one thing i thought about, maybe all crap, but, wouldn´t the dail button problem not showing up problem be fixed, when using the dailer app directly from the z ultra? as it has the same resolution just 320 dpi, right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
correct. but you don't need Xperia Z ultra one. Just use stock. the latest stock Xperia Z firmware supports xhdpi properly and will looks exactly like it does on the Z Ultra on 320dpi without the use of any ports.

I can't seem to get the Honami phone app/contacts app working properly with the new firmware, which is good... I guess.

The only things that won't be "Honamified" will be the Phone and contacts app :p (This kinda gives you a hint about what v5.0.0 is going to be like)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Linshart:
i see, neat thing, looking forward to V5 :D Honami Style is just plain Awesome and the 320 DPI is just better than the big crap from stock ;)

just too used to my old XMP ;)

hi guys one small question.

I get the notification on my Xperia Z for the OTA update .244 can I update this without any problems?

I am on the excelsus z 4.3 at the moment
[Xperia Z Android Development] hobs0n:
Awesome! Thanx again for the great work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Woah.. It makes me more excited that I thought I really cant wait hhahaha I want it that much badly hahah
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Trust me, it's worth waiting for v5.0.0.

nav bar is back to 48dp but will make an addon for 36dp ;) dpi changed back to stock 480 but users can manually change back to 320 dpi if they want to

Also, no more add-ons for Themes. I find it easier to just add it to the ROM :p

PureXAudio will be updated to latest v21 of course with SRS CSHP integrated

This is only part of the changes in v5.0.0. I won't release a full changelog now but I will when I'm ready to release :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stevenx3:
I'm on the latest version 4.3 but PureXAudio was not integrated and I do not have a web browser, is this normal?

Otherwise it is possible to replace clock widget Honami by Xperia z? ^^

Otherwise nice work I stay over at the moment. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
lol what are you talking about? PureXAudio will always be integrated in my rom.

and sorry, but I'm keeping the Honami clock widget. I may include as an add-on in the future though

You should have Chrome by default. If you don't then flash the ROM again and the OTA updates.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stevenx3:
I flashed one by one, rom base and all OTA .. and I have equalizer basic Sony, i flash myself pureXaudio and it's good .. and chrome was not integrated I went have to the PlayStore .. This is strange :/
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Very strange, especially if you are the only person to report this.

Also, PureXAudio IS integrated in this ROM. It's just that I did not include the modified Walkman Sound enhancements so it will still display as "Sound Enhancements" but everything else from PXA v20 is all in there.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stevenx3:
I was going to see and the settings Walkman i has "xLoud" and not "PureXIntenseBLAST"..

And for chrome, I go check in playstore and it was not installed.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I know that, as I have said before, I did not include the modded Sound Enhancements so it won't say that. Everything else from PXA is there.

Well, if Chrome is still not there for you, at least you can still download it from play store.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stevenx3:
Yes, i do that. ^^ ah so it is normal for Purexaudio I am reassured but i have install the latest version 21 ;)

Also, in the equalizer I select "off" and after a while he'll be alone "User Defined 1" is this normal?

Thank's for your answer !! ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
That is a very known bug if you have read or searched though the thread of PureXAudio.

If you don't like the equalizer presets and want your settings to stick after reboot (In your case, you want it off all the time) then go to Settings > Apps < all apps, find PureXAudio Engine (If you have installed v21 PureXAudio) or Sound Enhancements (If you stick with v20 in this ROM) and "erase data" for the app. After that, Sound Enhancements will be back to it's default state. Now it can make your settings stick after you reboot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Stevenx3:
Ok thank's ! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] darksoul21:
Hello ZeroInfinity, Thanks for the quality Rom. I see that H+ is the 4g icon on the taskbar? Any Radio updates for C6606 Tmobile; wireless tether for this rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
H+ is H+ and 4G is 4G. there is no H+ with 4G icon. This may be because of your model. C6603 has "normal" status icons but I'm assuming when you use C6603 firmware rom on a C6606 device, it causes some minor problems.

No, I'm not doing radio updates for other models. I only support C6603 (Obvious hint in OP) so if it works on your phone with bugs which doesn't appear on C6603., you're gonna have to deal with it.

P.S Radio updates are part of the firmware, why not download your firmware and get radio updates from that huh?
[Xperia Z Android Development] yeyi01:
Oh yeah I will keep an eye here haha
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You guys remember the bug where Keyboard will FC if you press on Smilies or Settings icon? :p

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
THE WAIT IS OVER! V5.0.0 is released!

In case some people need help for installing the rom, it's the same method as upgrading from EXCELSUS v2.5.2 - v4.0.0 :) You can always follow the instructions in the OP again.

For people who aren't on the new firmware yet, follow instructions in OP. If people already have the new firmware installed, just flash the ROM and you are ready! :D

The only things which aren't Honamified are Contacts/Phones and Honami Camera. Keeps FC even with erased data/cache. Hopefully someone can get it to work in the new firmware!

Excellent work making a full Honami framework [MENTION=3194260]jzqs[/MENTION] [MENTION=5016056]XDA.AGM[/MENTION] [MENTION=4898631]erorcun[/MENTION]

hmmmm what problems do you have with MEGA? Using Chrome on PC downloads fine, can't say the same for Mobile though...

I can't make another mirror (Due to very slow upload speeds at 60KB/s, MEGA offers me 80KB/s) it'll take me at least another 3 hours (60KB/s on all the other sites) to upload the whole rom again... lol.

I will make another mirror tomorrow for everyone else ;)
