Hey I just realised I no longer have the Sony logo on boot. Is this supposed to happen?:confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
lol wtf, that's never happened to anyone before...
[Xperia Z Android Development] jwveggie:
LOL My bad. It was plugged in :laugh: hahahahaha. gosh I feel stupid.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mahdibassam:
Zero, you recommended Go Backup Pro for backing up our data, i checked it out and it is the perfect app for backing up. Thank you.

Just one thing. When I connect my Xperia Z to my PC to copy the backup folder to my hdd, it doesn't show in the internal memory. When I use es Explorer on the phone the go backup folder is there, but it doesn't show on the computer.
[Xperia Z Android Development] saud-33:
Thanx zero

This update is greeeeeeeat!

But still have many laaag :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
A common problem for MTP. Unplug your phone from PC and turn the phone off. Turn it back on and leave it there for a min. After that plug back into PC and it should work. I would recommend to upload your backups onto Dropbox/Drive so if you loose them on your internal storage, you will always have some kind of backup online :)

changelog says "Reduced launcher lag" not "Lag completely gone". There are still some lags in Honami launcher but it's not as often as before. I can't remove the lags because it has something to do with the Honami launcher. When it starts lagging in Launcher, just keep on flicking the pages, sometimes it becomes smooth again. If it doesn't become smooth again, just reboot the phone.

Thanx for replying Zero, and it worked flawlessy to install the UK firmware :)

And I must say that I really miss some of the features of yer ROM! The lower DPI is the thing I miss the most... Im searching for a way to get that wonderful DPI and stuff that you have in yer ROM on Stock firmware. Got any helpful links?

EDIT: Just tried the good old way using Rom Toolbox Pro and changed it too 320, seems to work goooooood :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Linshart:
you can change that for EVERY Rom, quite easily by just editing the correct Line in build.prop :D Or use buildprop editor from Playstore

is the instructions in post 3 not clear enough? everyone else found it working nicely with the first method in post 3...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Azri Bovier:
Zero..

Does the bravia engine 3 leak works for our device?...i've install it and i dont know it made any changes....
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No such thing as BE3 for mobile. Only BE2 or X-Reality.

And yes, this rom uses X-reality. It does work or else image processing is disabled (because BE2 is replaced). Yes it does look similar to BRAVIA Engine 2 but the colours look more natural to me in X-reality.

FYI it will obviously not work for unlocked Bootloaders because of permenantly deleted DRM Keys.

pls does it support app2sd
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No, it doesn't support app2sd, it's not in the features list so it's not in the rom lol. There are loads of tutorials and mods for this on xda, just search for it lol.

X-Reality working on Unlocked bootloaders!

Actually, it works on my XZ phone with UB! You can clearly see when the system starts improving a picture! :)

Thanks for your hard work.

EDIT: Actually there's a 1 second gap before X-Reality starts working, so you can clearly see the difference.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
woops, i forgot to mention i was using the other honami launcher that someone posted before.

the launcher from your rom has no problems, but, sometimes it can lag

and i also read back that someone was having widget problems with nova launcher too, so :S
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
strange, can anyone try Apex launcher and see if widgets work with that?

I fixed it. Posted the apk a few pages back.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Because it's better to install Xposed module separate than to add it to the rom. If you have problems you can ask in the thread because the authors don't support others with Xposed modules added in the rom.

weird exchange mail issue

Hi all,

first of all thanx for the great ROM.

My issiue is that the native e-mail app is stripping the date and time of the original email out, when including it in the body of the message in exchange account mails; i.e. just the date/time is blanked out while from, to, subject fields and message body is existing.

Therefore when an e-mail is forwarded or replied/replied all; the recipients think that the original message's date is deleted on purpose. Received mails have correct date information. Any other third-party e-mail client (touchdown, enhanced email etc) application works as expected with the same exchange server. I have replaced the email and exchange apk's from various alternative sources, the issue remains. Any help about the possible cause and associated solution would be appreciated.

Hi,

So I decided to root my XZ and give this ROM a try. Even after reading, v5 "might" cause boot loop, I still decided to give it a try and see if I am fine with v5 directly by erasing the device completely but I was wrong, it resulted in boot loop.

Can anyone help me how I can flash back v4 now ?

AS the phone was rebooting itself and not detectable by flashtool, I had to start sony pc companion and then repair my phone to get this to start and then use flashtool to get the latest update.

Isn't there an easy way to go straight into recovery even when it's boot looping and then flash v4 after erasing the phone ? The only reason I didn't go ahead and install v4/v5, was due to the above "fix" procedure being too long and too painful.

Cheers

RD
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
did you even install it correctly? if you look in post 3, you must follow the instructions to get the rom working without bootloops (As CLEARLY stated next to the download link)

The method you thought would work was not necessary at all and will still cause bootloops. You should of followed the instructions I posted.

Just because it's too long doesn't mean you should avoid it. This is what happens when you don't follow instructions.
