Hello to all of you,

I have some very sad news especially for Xperia Z1 and ZU users..

But first I wanna give a lot of thanks to all of you for the great support and confidence in me throughout my development times here on XDA, I've met some wonderful people and learned a lot. I know people respect me and it's given me a great feeling of satisfaction.

I have some really difficult issues/situation to deal with in real life now, I can't keep running away from it. I'm sorry to announce to the entire community I'll stop development right now.

I don't know if and when I'll come back. I hope I can come back, but it all depends on my personal situation. Please don't sent me a lot of pm's about the issues. Thank you.

Regards to all of you,

Hello, this maybe a stupid question but how can I download? In post 2 it has a link but then there is no download.

I looked on the download page but cannot see anything to distinguish oct 31st

I wanted to download the 4.3.1 version

Thank you

ok, feeling like a newb here...

I've never got a problem flashing on earlier devices, but the XZ gives me a headace. Flashing stock based ROMs gives no errors, but after flashing a recovery ment for cm/aokp or the boot.img following this ROM through fastboot I'm stuck (I can flash back another recovery and run a stock based ROM)...

Both FXP and Carbon gives an output like this:

E: Unknown File System 'datamedia'

Error flashing zip .... bla bla

Updating partition details - or something similar...

Any tips :silly:

Edit/

I've checked that the zip isn't corrupt, I've tried from external and internal memory, I've tried different recoveries etc...

Edit 2/

After nearly giving up I got a tips to format data (internal storage)... In an attempt on that I rebooted into my old "doom 0.5 boot.img"-recovery, factory reset and tried to flash Carbon right away - no change of boot img - and it actually worked... I didn't need to format internal storage, just use an older recovery it seems. Running Carbon smooth and fine :))

Small question Krabappel,is NFC working on "standard"carbon,or is the tweak only if your comming from stock 434?

Can I just aply the tweak on teh 21 th build?
[Xperia Z Android Development] thalada:
Hey, i am on stock .253, should i root my mobile, also my boot loader is locked.
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
It's a fix if NFC doesn't work. If you come from .253 NFC will work without the fix

It can't be installed on locked bootloader. Not one source based rom will worked on locked bl.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

so when coming from stock with doomkernel...

1.you need CM based kernel for roms like FXP,CM,Carbon or PAC

2.when going between stock/stockbased and CM/AOSP based roms wipe everything except of course your /sdcard /external_sd and then flash the rom and HAVE a BACKUP of your apps etc.

3.wiping just cache is not causing issues...only phone just after cache wipe can boot longer
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Just tested the NFC patch. Worked like a charm, awesome Krab!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Novek:
I flashed straight from doomkernel, no problem... I had problems getting the zip to flash with a cm kernel though... Do a factory reset, and your good to flash a new base.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:

Love the rom, thanks OP. But am i the only one with terrible battery life on latest update (210513) ? I made a clean install on a fully wiped system and my device just races thru the battery.

[Xperia Z Android Development] MamaSaidWhat?:
Have you heard of Greenify (free on Play Store)? Install that and make sure all your apps are hibernated properly. Also disable media scanner using Media Scanner Root (also free on Play Store) and you should easily get similar battery life to that of a stock rom :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] nickwarn:
Thank you for your respons. I have always been happy with battery life on CM/AOSP based roms, thats not the problem. Its just this latest gave me terrible battery life. I installed CM latest nightly and waiting for Carbon 220513 release. Thank you, I keep it in mind.
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Nightly is delayed to tomorrow.

BUT: FM Radio will probably be included ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] :

[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
I found that using 320dpi the usable screen estate is quite small despite the higher dpi. Is there a way to maximize it so the whole screen is usable, in nova launcher there is this margin setting where if you set to none then you'll have more space to use, do we have such setting here?

And also the dock, if we can maximize it to occupy the whole botttom screen and add more items instead of limited 5 then it will be great.

One more thing, I am using f/w 253, will the camera improvement apply to JB stock camera? Or only if we are using sony stock rom camera app?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Can't seem to get it to work.. Will check as to why this is.
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
Hi, are you referring to my exfat or someone else question? :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Yeah sorry, chose to answer instead of quoting, but i was referring to the exfat issue haha. Still not getting it to work though..
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
No worries. :)

Did you try to extract the zip file and copy all the necessary files to your device and manually insmod the modules?

Cheers.

Update: It seems like the modules is not compatible with AOSP kernel and have to regenerate them under AOSP build.

adb shell su -c "busybox insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko"

insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko': invalid module format

adb shell su -c "busybox insmod /system/lib/modules/texfat.ko"

Only way to do it now is to use a VPN. This will fool the play store into thinking you are in another country.

Cleared data and cache in playstore.

Even after that it still find outs my location.

One more thing we can try is use wifi only & put the network radios in off state.:cool:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JakeyV:
I have tried using the Motochopper, TWRP, CWM methods.

I also tried doing this:

If you have the updated ROM, you have to first UNCHECK reboot, install CWM or TWRP from ODIN, and after it says success, PULL the phone battery, and DO NOT reboot it. Put the battery back in, hold up, home button, and power, and ONLY release power when the blue text appears at the upper left corner. Only then will install the custom recovery.

Then when you reboot (exit) from this recovery, choose the option to disable stock recovery.

Pulling out the battery and following the steps above was the only method that yielded some results. It took me into the recovery mode where I was able to choose which zip file to use to root the phone. After successful completion of the zip file and reboot, I still get a message saying "SU binary is out of date" and I do not have root access. I downloaded the root checker and it is continuously saying "checking."

If anyone has found a way to root a T mobile S4, please share and help.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Rhamza161:
First off I would like to thank Raul from Cruzerlite.com who found my style of reviewing interesting enough to inquire about me reviewing their cases. It is a great opportunity and I would just like to send a personal thank you to him and the company. I would also like to point out that my review is still going to be 100% honest, in fact I waited 4 days after I received the cases to do a complete review, including a day in each case I received.

The three cases I received were as follows

Clear Android Army

Blue Android Circuit

Green Androidified A2

I'll review them all at the same time, and anytime there is something special about a certain one, I'll mention it. First are Pro's,then Con's, and a summary at the end. Fairly simple.

Pro's:

-Like any premium case the cutouts are perfect at every port, button, and IR blaster on the phone.

-The TPU is pretty good quality, I've felt better in one other case, Diztronic, but Cruzerlite is a very close second.

-Double cutout of the camera and flash giving better protection overall on the back

-designs actually show up (on white S4 at least, cannot verify on black because I don't one) and looks very nice. I have recieved compliments on how cool they looked, the color enhances the device instead of detracting from it, and I see a lot of cases that detracts from the quality of the phone! (cheap and expensive cases alike)

-The raised lip around the front of the screen kind of folds over the bevel. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the lip extends over the full front of the bevel instead of resting on top of it like every other case I own does.

-Logo is not distracting from the overall design!

Con's

-On the Androidified case it just feels a lot thinner, I'm not sure if it was the unit I was sent, but the TPU feels thin all around, especially on the lip and sides.

On good reviews I usually put here that the cases were not free, but in this case they were...and I'm not sure how to make it sound like I wasn't completely satisfied, but had I spent money on them, I wouldn't put anything here, so this is a placeholder for my own sanity... ;)

one thing to note about clear cases though, they discolor over time, I am not sure if these will, but it is something to think about. i honestly love clear cases over all other cases. but UV damage is not something plastic is known to combat well over time. lol

Overall:

If I could, I would return 3/4 of the cases I've purchased over the past month for the S4 because these are honestly the ones I'll be using for a good length of time. I cannot foresee me looking for another TPU case after trying these, and I would recommend them for anyone who is on the fence. If you want to purchase one TPU case, you'll want to go with one from either from Cruzerlite or Diztronic. Both are great companies and offer different types of cases depending on what you really are looking for.

As always, let me know if you would like a specific picture or more in-depth look at something in particular. The photos will be up tomorrow when the lighting is better.

If you are asking about the warranty period, it's 1 year, as for all the Chinese purchases.

For the product quality, THL is a good brand, well known by people.

Let's hope for a price drop (159.99$ is cheap, but not so cheap if compared to Lenovo a820, for example) in the next days.
