Could it be, that this Mod is for the old .434 Firmware?

If yes, you should reflash the ROM without wiping and it should work again.

any alternate way for reboot / reboot recovery option ?

Seems that you don't have my purexaudio settings for sound enhancements, try to install purexaudio v16.5 and then the new ota and it should work ;)

I don't get why people are having such problems, I never get these issues

That's the same as every new firmware :rolleyes:

Dev host is just being slow, try again later

No, that obviously why I removed it in v2.0.0

I will add one when it is out for the new firmware...

I'm redoing the rom on Central Europe rom now :D

Also, today I had 20% Media Server draining my battery life as well as screen on 30mins 50% battery life... WTF is going on :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Something is definitely wrong!

Can't wait for the european one ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I have successfully remade the rom onto Central Europe version of .253 :D and media server is currently @ 2% (Haven't played music yet...) the screen on however... 30% my brightness is at max with "Adapt light" on (Autobrightness in other words)

It seems like the enhanced contrast of this new firmware made the screen use more power than before, can't seem to work around that...

If Mediaserver is not draining as much in this version whilst listening to music, I will release it today :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Strange what happened to you with Media Server...

With your 2.1 release right now Google Services seems to have stopped draining my battery and Media Server only consumed battery when I used the camera!

Gonna wait and see how it behaves during the night tonight...

Hi zero just a quick question I'm gonna set up 2.1 will the new build be a wipe Rom as if it is ill hold off setting up lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
next version (V2.5.0) will be a full rom which will wipe only your system (Not data or anything else) :)

I would say wait until it is released (In around 3 hours) and save your time flashing the OTA V2.1.0 :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
I'm on 2.1 right now.

If I want to install 2.5 I have flash it in recovery without wiping anything?
[Xperia Z Android Development] brockyneo:
Thanks I've already done 2.1 lol so I'll wait till the new one out then I'll start setting up lol

Thanks

Also I assume the 2.5 will need to be downloaded through pc only reason I ask is cause I'll have to wait till tomorrow for that
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v2.5 will wipe system automatically before flashing the rom but afterwards, I recommend you also wiping ONLY your Dalvik Cache (AVOID Cache if you are locked bootloader always)

But yeah, normally you would just need to flash over and it does everything for you :)

EDIT: v2.5.0 is out! Hopefully, this version should give out more battery than previous version ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
v2.5.0 no need OTA 2.1?

I'm downloading the new version :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
this is the first 253 build i have used

although i have to say, nova launcher has more microlag and microstutter compared to 434 firmware

did a full wipe prior to installation,

possible workarounds? :D

If you are on locked bootloader...the only workaround is starting all over :p

will 2.5 require clean install?
[Xperia Z Android Development] smg330ci:
Hi Zero,

First of all, thanks for your great work for the contribution to Z and great audio mod. Had been watching this thread since V1.1.0, and always wanted to try your Rom. And I finally did it last night and following exactly as the OP to update to 223 from 434, fully rooted and then flashed Excelsus v. 2.0 and flash OTA to V. 2.1.

Was very pleased with the audio and screen contrast and everything, but I noticed the performance was not as good as stock 434 that I was using. I can feel that entering the APPs from home launcher is a bit slower and so does entering settings and others. I even compared with another Z on Stock 434 that I rooted for him. And the stock 434 seems to perform faster like I felt. I even tried to set animation at 0.5x and forced GPU rendering in setting, but still have the same result. And I saw new V 2.5 ROM today which I tried again. But still can feel the speed was a bit downgrade. I wonder if it is from the 253 kernel itself or is it just me. For that I think what I heard for 253 has better performance in speed overall. So I think it must be something I did wrong.

My questions are, when I follow the OP exactly (which the install was correct as well, no problems whatsoever so far.) and did not wipe anything (only wiping the Dalvik cache after flashing 2.1 OTA), which I have everything on my old firmware like apps, sms, call history and everything. Should I have a clean system after the FTF and this ROM? Or can I do factory reset now and perhaps get the performance and speed I should have? Or it must be something wrong that in the Flashtool that I did not wipe anything and exclude anything?

My apology for writing this much, tried several pages and threads but still not clue. Please kindly help me out here. I wish I can feel the speed of this ROM so badly :crying:

Thanks in advance!:good::good:

[SOLUTION] Mediaserver Battery draining...

After a thorough research, I've found 2 tools that solved permanently the mediaserver draining issue:

1) I found a zip (attached to this message) that can be flashed via recovery, that is a sort of "mediaserver killer" init.d script which actually "kills" all the occurrences of the mediaserver processes in memory. See the relevant thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2211308

2) And then I found this little but handy and effective app on Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5hZGR6Lm1lZGlhc2Nhbm5lcnJvb3QiXQ

Try it! I ran it, rebooted my system and... no more draining apps (mediaserver either of course) listed by Battery Stats Pro! Give it a try. I think it might be, finally, the solution to our problems mate! ;) Pls.whoever still has problems with the Mediaserver draining the battery, pls. try this little handy app together with the mediaserver killer script mod.

Cheers to all!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
hmmm those lines are already in my 01excelsus init.d script :-/

I'll see if media scanner fixes anything, I'm also gonna post how bad my battery life has been today :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] ItalDiamond2008:
Yes, you're right. But the mediaserver pops up after a while so the script needs to run periodically. That's why I've also set up a scheduling task in Script Manager so that the Mediaserver killer is triggered every hour! How about that? Pls. advise.

Thanks! ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] beardyone:
I had the same problem, no status bar and softkeys missing and system ui fc. I flashed the zip mentioned in this post but i then lose the extra toggles. is there a way of having small softkeys (25 dpi) but also keep the extra status bar toggles?

Here is my crappy battery for the day :p

I will try and see if my SD card has any corrupt files or rescan the whole sd card and see if that fixes anything

Although it's not just the media server I'm worried about, Android System and Screen seems to be taking the most of the battery drain (Mainly screen) so it doesn't seem normal...

where can i downloaded V2.0 ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ape187:
I had SystemUI FC as well, but I fixed it now. Here is what I've done:

-download Docomo Statusbar v7 DEODEX and flash it via CWM.

-reboot

-as you can probably see, the statusbar and navbar is back

-after it booted, reboot into CWM again and flash Docomo Statusbar v8 DEODEX

-reboot again and voila!

Great! Ihihihi... I saw you included the mediaserverkiller script I suggested you in your OTA update. I really liked that! So, that means I helped you somehow with this update and that makes me proud, really. Keep up with the good work, mate. :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Despite the fact I already add it, I thought that somehow, the init.d was reorganized again and thought that if media server was last to execute, media server won't be using that much after startup. Just testing my idea and hopefully it does something
