[Xperia Z Android Development] feesta:
where can i download the kernel?

i've also backup my ta yet..i need to restore it after installig the kernel or not?

so i flash the rom..start the phone..reboot in recovery and flash the kernel?

thaaaaaanks for the precious help :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Kernel is in original development section.

So you first wipe everything in recovery, then you flash the rom and directly afterwards the kernel.

The ta you only need to restore it after relocking the bootloader for warranty purposes.

If I use custom kernel will the stock features like stamina, camera and gallery etc still work?
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
It all works for me. So yes. I dont use stamina though but i tried activating it and it changes the number of standby days so im assuming its working.

swipe lock with security pattern

Dear Monx ..

thank you very much for your kind work and this much of time you spent to produce and share your roms ..

I have small request about the swipe lock-screen ..

from the time that Google updated to JB .. unfortunately, we cannot set together the swipe lock-screen with security pattern or password ..

I have to choose one of them .. either swipe or security .. !!

I observed Samsung has option to enable swipe with security .. !!

could we have this in our xperia Z rom ?? .. or do you know any patch or hack to do it manually .. Please ..??

I will be very glad for your kind help ..

thank you

i have two Xperia z both boot unlocked and install honamixz and with doomkernel v16. i've been facing wifi problem. when two phone in same wifi network only 1 device can connect to internet probably. the other device like having dhcp issue or totally can't connect to network.

did anyone of u all facing same problem? what is the solution?
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
Theres an app for our xperia z to take photo by using the proximity sensor. Imo its a much safer way than using power button/volume button etc. Search for aqua z app on themes and apps section.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bariz143:
I noticed that my phone vibrates once at bootup and one 5 second later. Its like i have 3 recoverys i dont get it.

I flashed Nut dual recovery and everything was fine then i flashed monx rom and i get CWM SPECIAL EDITION v5 / Original CWM / TWRP ?

Never had this isse before
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ry Chy®:
Not an issue, it´s a feature :cool:
[Xperia Z Android Development] bariz143:
It should be an issue because i got 3 recoverys. Whats the benefit with 2 CWM recoverys and One TWRP?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MR.Samo:
LOL, Try to re flash NUT recovery and i think your problem will be solved.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bariz143:
Going to try that monx hope it works :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] bollix:
I hope, that monx will include new firmware (67) in his new build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] flytomars:
3 recoveries doesn't sound good.

You can try flash both DooMKernel/XzKernel and monxDIFIED.

And there will be only 2 recoveries.

:p
[Xperia Z Android Development] _Noctis_:
Hi there.

I'm currently on PAC, but wanted to try this.

I've had samsungs before, where flashing was much easier and straight forward.

have recovery (from pac), so can do all , but i'm not sure about step 6.

the question is : which is the latest version i should flash ? is it the C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped file (15mb) ? (i also have a C6603_10.1.A.434_AU_Unbranded one, but that's almost 800mb).

if that's the file, i remove all but for kernel & baseband, and flash using flashtools?

that's it, or am i missing something and will have to go through the pain of resetting the phone, unlocking, rooting, and so on again?

cheers and thanks in advance

Step 6 is just for flashing the kernel. Here you go: https://mega.co.nz/#!J5dGxSxY!OST6m1ST6l6oYBp2IACBjkvXo1dkPP0625vcfGgvrFQ

That's all you need to flash, no need to uncheck any boxes in Flashtool

How about battery life?

I've installed 04-03-01 on 3 Phones and all 3 suffer from battery drain, i get 15h max on 1 battery, used to be like 20h and then it was on 14% now it's a wonder to reach 15h and phone is not yet 0%.

No issues here, getting very good battery life.
[Xperia Z Android Development] SaGaR_:
How can it be, i did fresh install and restored my "titanium backup"-backup and it is very bad
[Xperia Z Android Development] Paulikid:
...and what exactly does "it is very bad" mean? battery life? Did you try to use wakelock detector to find out what app might be responsible for your bad battery life?

Swyped from my incredible Sony Xperia Z with Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z Android Development] maddoguk:
Did you restore everything? I only ever restore sms messages, apps & app data. Makes for clean ROM with no cross contamination.

Battery life on this build is one of the best I have encountered.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Paulikid:
I always restore all my user apps and my battery life is fine. High drain must be caused by one of your installed apps.

Swyped from my incredible Sony Xperia Z with Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z Android Development] _Noctis_:
As Paulikid say, probably an issue with some app ...

Just go to settings -> power management -> battery usage , and see what's eating up your battery ...

(usually screen should be on top, since it's the one using it ... but you can usually see if there's an app that keeps your phone awake or behaving in an inappropriate way, since it'll have a high % usage of battery).

If you happen to have a high % on something that is not informative (system, or whatever), you might need to use better battery stats or some other app that will give you more details on what's hogging your battery.

Personally, i'm having a good battery experience, and i've recovered thing with Titanium Backup from other roms (Pac, in my case, and different ones from my prev phone as well).
[Xperia Z Android Development] SaGaR_:
But the Strange thing is that would mean that all 3 phones have an app that does that, and i had the same alles before on older monxdified version with no troubles
[Xperia Z Android Development] ankabo:
Could happen. Check all apps in wakelock detector, he will tell you.

But after a reboot wait some minutes, that the media from your phone is completely scanned.

Hi,

Got this ROM a few months back and all was working fine, but for the past few days the battery is acting very erratic. Even even idle, it discharges from 90% to 20% within a couple of hours. It has been happening every day...pretty annoying...Went into service details and it says battery health is good.

Could anyone please suggest a remedy?

It's a wakelock in the latest release. RILJ if I recall correct. Either rollback to the earlier release or wait for monx to solve it. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] guokeong:
if it have been working well last couple of months then most probably it's a rouge app causing the battery drain. download wakelock detector from google play to check which app is causing those wakelock.

since I was really fed up with the bad camera quality of the AOSP-based ROMs I decided to switch to this ROM here.

After flashing it didn't want to boot, so I've searched for the newest sony xperia firmware - found "C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic DE.ftf" and flashed kernel and baseband from that package - now the ROM boots but I cannot activate WIFI. I've already rebooted the device another time but still I cannot turn on WIFI.

It should be address 0, go to settings, about phone and status, wifi mac address should be listed towards the bottom. Does this match the mac address you believe, or macaddr0?

If these do not display your mac address then I can't help you, there is something else going on outside the norm.

Personally, i would prefer the X-logo in the same colour as the rest of the navigation bar. I think that the logo will stand out too much and over time become annoying due to the colour.

If you make it the same colour as the rest, the navigation bar will be in balance and not stand out that much, it will fit more to the UI and design Sony has made.
