Try downloading the modules from the end of first post. It'll be with attachments. I downloaded it from there :p

Steps:

Make a nandroid backup. Works only on a rooted ROM.

Download the XposedInstaller apk and install it. Launch it and grant it root permissions. Then press Install/Update button. Then reboot.

Download the modules apk (75KB) and install it, don't open it.

Launch the Xposed Framework App, then in the module tab (top), enable the Per App Density Module. Then reboot.

Launch the Per App Settings app and there you can now set per app density for all apps listed.

Scroll down, you'll see Xperia Home. Select it.

Tap the switch above to activate Application settings.

There'll be a white box named DPI. Enter the value. 350-360 will be perfect for home.I used this to increase the icon's size. I USED 360 at first, but the icons touch the page borders. Then tried 350, it looked good. You can experiment with the values. No probs. So after entering 350 or whatever, tap save (Top right) and select Yes. Now press home and it'll be set. No reboot required.

was the new message app removed? I remember being able to use it before and now its the stock app?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I haven't touched the Conversations.apk at all. Should still be stock 4.2.2
[Xperia Z Android Development] Admiral AnimE:
Is it possible to have 4.2.0 with stock DPI or at least 4.2.0 with DPI between stock and ZXU? Around 380-400. I really don't wanna use Xposed to change per app, i want the whole system :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Sigh... people do not take the time to read back pages that they have not missed.

I have already told someone about dpi changing a few pages back, either find it or use the search function...

stock dpi will loose the XZU-like mode and restore icon grids and number of icons on docks back to stock values.

I only know that 320dpi is the most ideal dpi for XZU mode. (And also, it's kinda accurate for XZU's mode)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Admiral AnimE:
I read it but i can't save the file. Using ES file explored with root permissions, it says Error occurred when trying to save the file.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Is system mounted? you can go to root manager in es file explorer and mount rw to /system partition
[Xperia Z Android Development] Admiral AnimE:
Thanks, worked. Though the bar with the reflections below the icons is cut off slightly at the edges.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Utacka:
Its because /system is read-only, change it to read-write

I flashed this ROM just a day after I flashed the .423 firmware.

This ROM is so amazing! Battery is great (like the stock) and I think of smoothness, it is better than stock.

Many thanks for the TS!

[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
Then you revert to the old dpi values by editing them in build.prop
[Xperia Z Android Development] link_one:
Can you give me detailed instructions???
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Detailed instructions have already been posted, turn a few pages back to find it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
Open root explorer, go to system/ build.prop

Hold on build.prop and select 'open with text editor'

You may also need to mount the system partition as R/W. If you haven't and upon selecting to open with text editor, root explorer automatically mounts to R/W after asking you.

There are numerous settings inside, so don't mess up. Just scroll down to the end and you'll find a value named "ro.sf.lcd_density=320". Just delete the number 320 and enter 480 in there and click save changes and exit from top right corner of the app.

Reboot and it's done.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Ricochet23:
wow you're really patient explaining the same things on every second page just because people don't read :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
Ha ha, yup :D

People do make mistakes. They can be in a situation who couldn't read all the posts to find a solution. Some might have even get depressed due to the problem caused and they'll be in a hurry to set things right. So they can't be browsing through pages and pages. To be honest, when I was a junior member, I made these same mistakes and would get thrashed by a dev every now and then for not reading properly. It even follows suit now. So, unless am busy or not available, I'd love to help everybody with all might. I don't care if the problems get repetitive. I'll try to point out to other posts as well. After all, we are the ones who could help them and they have faith in us bringing their problems. So it's our turn to give them a hand right? ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] dreamville:
Loving this rom at the moment, i haven't updated to the latest OTA one yet though, probably will just install the next update whenever it's out. Will i need to update to the current OTA update first before applying the next one?

I've had a few 'system stopped working' errors and it results to going back to the original xperia wallpaper that can get quite annoying. It happens when i save an image which pops up on notification center, i then proceed to open the image from the notification screen, when i press edit photo the issue occurs. However when i use 'album' and then go to edit photo it's fine. Hope it can be sorted easily :)

Also if anyone can help me i love the transparency on the notification/status bar and the bottom buttons bar. Is there any way to get this applied on nova launcher as i'm using that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] dhruvzz:
grt work on the rom...luving the dpi change update..but it a lot maller for me...i there any way i can change it to 38 or omething ??thanx anyway
[Xperia Z Android Development] fish droid:
all working fine except the album app keep stoping ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
1) The only solution right now is to change back to 480 dpi, search the thread for a method in doing that.

Yes, you will need to flash the OTAs in chronological order (How will you get the changes from the last OTA that you missed then??). System stopped working error I have never had before.

38 is NOT a dpi... you are getting confused with the navigation bar being at 38 dpi, Navigation bar's dpi is different from 38dpi. If you think the dpi is small (Currently at 320) just wait until you use 38 dpi LOL!

Anyways, there is a way but you have to find it in the thread. I am NOT repeating myself again just because people are too lazy to search the thread!

Search the thread, this has already been answered.

I don't see what the point is in putting a Search Function of XDA. If people don't use it, Why is it there?

If you can't find it via pages, use the Search Function at the top right box (Where it says "Search In Thread..."). You will find your answer easier then.

i've some problem: after flashing this ROM i can't cheange the lockscreen background with album photo but only with defalt background like Hero Wallpaper.

Anyone have some suggestion?

And I completely lost my walkman app after trying to copy the apk in system app, neither Titanium Backup can restore him, it stay in restore loop unitl i reboot the phone.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Selecting Albums image for lockscreen wallpapers works for me

If you are copying the walkman app to system, make sure permissions are set to rw- r-- r-- (chmod 644) and it should appear after a reboot :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] zippo7kyller:
I've already try all the tips in the previus page, and i'm sure to set permission always on rw r r but after reboot won't appear =(

About the lockscreen bug, can you advise me something?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
As you are the only person having the lockscreen bug, I have no tips on how to fix that, sorry

As for Walkman Player, try reflashing the whole rom again :) If that doesn't work try wiping data of Walkman in Settings > Apps > All (Tap walkman there and "Erase Data"
[Xperia Z Android Development] fish droid:
do the same as this fellow did with the youtube app

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmbaxKGlfBI
[Xperia Z Android Development] zippo7kyller:
the strange thing is that Walkman doesn't appear in setting/app/all but in system/app, semcmusic.apk is there and with the right permission.

Well, i give up and try to reflash firmware and re install the entire ROM.

Thanks anyway :highfive:

[Xperia Z Android Development] dyepnoodle:
ok dumb question. will this work or has anyone tried this rom on an unlocked BL?
[Xperia Z Android Development] LitoNi:
just a suggestion,

would be great if you make the normal dpi and 320 dpi flashable. Then people can just choose without bothering you. lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] dyepnoodle:
people can change that on build.prop just scroll down to additional properties blah blah and look for ro.sf.lcd_density=(480 is the default dpi)
[Xperia Z Android Development] LitoNi:
lol i know that, but alot of new users are afraid of changing values or not even know what it is, whats worst is that editing build prop can easily mess up the system especially when they didnt do a backup lol.

anyway it was just a suggestion
[Xperia Z Android Development] thainl:
Use root explorer, navigate to system/app/ and delete album.apk. Extract album.apk from 4.0.zip file and copy to system/app. Reboot.

First off, great ROM :)

I think there is a bug with Movies? or maybe it's just me?

Fresh install of stock, then rooted and recovery. Install your ROM with updates in order.

All seams to work perfect but when I launch the Movies app that works in tandem with Video Unlimited it shows me my online collection like normal but when I go to download any of my movies instead of downloading it like normal it just launches Update Center and then nothing?

I've tried freezing Update Center in Titanium Backup but then while clicking on my movie to download it just does nothing? Anybody else have these issues? Also tried uninstalling, re installing clearing data and so on with Video Unlimited and Movies app to no avail.

Thanks.

I had to do the Album delete and copy from 4.0 but other than that, flawless! phone looks beautiful with the new DPI. That call thing is weird with the landscape but thats Sony for ya :) Had me confused for a lil while :) New keyboard took a lil getting used to to but after writing about 80 texts on it, its become amazing at predicting what i wanna write. I can practically text my other half without typing, just using predicted words after i type the first word "hey" ha.

ZeroInfinity,

I've been using your rom from day one since 4.0 came out. Since then ive updated and read al the new posts. Can you tell me what the ETA is for the next version with all the Honami apps and looks? Like the new Existince?

I love your rom and don't want to switch.

Does flashing the aio pack add something new? And can i flash krabappels camera port? Or do you advice me to wait for your update?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No ETAs, so don't ask. Ever.

No need to flash aio pack as latest ota obviously has it all (see changeling...)

Yes you can flash the camera port, try before asking.

I need to get the ports for settings and other stuff from other devs since they have already and I can't port it.

To be honest the battery is really drained very very fast .. I charge my phone three times a day .. on the stock I was getting a 7 hours battery life with

continuous usage .. now it gives maximum of 4 to 5 hours .. Stamina mode enabled .. and I tried to charge it from 0 to 100 But still struggling with the battery
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
3 times a day? That's a bit extreme, something is definitely not right here

[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:

[Xperia Z Android Development] adamkm:
I dunno what's draining it all to be honest. I always have stamina mode on, great feature. Must admit, i haven't done a battery calibration since last week when i installed some other rom. I'll give that a go. It's hard to even get it to 100% during the day while using it to be honest ha.

I'll report back with that though.

In my battery settings view at the moment its showing 8h22 on battery. Usage:

66% android OS

12% screen

6% Cell standby

...n bits and bats.

Usually its screen 50-60% then OS under that. So somethings happening on the OS in the background while my screen is off.

Im not 100% convinced stamina mode is working properly, its enabled in settings. Yet i rarely get the stamina mode icon in the notification area, seems hit and miss. No notification to suggest what might be blocking stamina mode though.

I'll try greenify some apps see how that helps :)

Thanks for you're excellent work though. This rom is absolutely beautiful. Very fast indeed!

For the other poster above me. I installed the camera port from Krab OK but you need to delete the camera APK files out of the system/app folder, extract the APK's from his zip and manually copy them into the system/app folder with rw-rw--r permissions. Otherwise it force closes all the time.

P.s. Zero, i had to install the Album APK from V4 because the V4.2 album APK always force closes. Is there a work around for that ? i haven't read all the pages in this thread so sorry if it has already been addressed. Im not sure what differences there are in the 4.2 album to the 4.0 album?

Thanks :)

There is lag only sometimes, I think this is caused by either the RAM being used up too much or a memory leak has occurred. If you reboot, everything will get back to normal however.
