Or vice versa :D

Usually and as described in the flashing guide I perform a flash from Recovery of the custom Rom then switch off the phone by pressing On/Off button and Volume Up until it vibrates 3 times then flash from Flashtool (from the Pc) only Kernel and Baseband (from the ftf file same version 244 in this update) unckecking all wipes

Then.... Enjoy

Thanks so much for good ROM.

Does the mod for coloured X-button work on 04.03.01?

Guys ,

Can I update through goo manager ? or need to flash 244 firmware first and after flash rom again?
[Xperia Z Android Development] fyudha:
I need to ask something..

I'm now was on essential i1 rom, i want to move out to this rom..

So yesterday i install this rom from essential i1.. I got some problem, after i installed it this rom can't mount my sdcard (i already wipe everything).

I think this is my fault to install this rom over the essentials i1.. And then, i make a full clean install.. I changed back to stock .423 and then make a clean install..

My problem still exist.. When i was in this rom my sdcard can't mount.. I was searching the same problem in this thread with the search function, and i get nothing (i was search for: sdcard doesn't mount, sd ext doesn't mount, sdcard problem, etc)

I'm getting frustrated.. so now i'm still on essential i1..

My devices is c6603..

Is there someone can tell me what's wrong? Thank you before.. And i'm sorry if i have a bad grammar
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
Just download rom from the OP and flash in recovery. Don't need to wipe anything. After that reboot.

Don't need to flash the FW. You are already in the right FW if you are coming from 4.0.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

I guess you didn't flash the new FW?
[Xperia Z Android Development] fyudha:
Pardon? Which new firmware did i should flash to? Thx for the reply :)

Edit: if it .244 to get a same baseband, i already flash it through flashtool..
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
If you are on Honami Rom, you are still on 423. You need 244 FW.

Do a factory reset and install ROM again, if you have already flashed 244 FW.
[Xperia Z Android Development] fyudha:
I'll try it.. Thank you for your advice..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Fasty12:
Thats weird i avent flash official firmware since may and all these rom still booted up and work fine for me. Am i missing out on performance boost if i dont do it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
I believe each FW is an update to improve on the previous one in term of battery life, smoothness, etc.

The ROMs are build on the FW work best with the FW. If you don't flash the correct FW, you will have issues like wifi not working, sd card not mounting etc.

Correct me if I am wrong, anyone?
[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:
after updating to the last release of this rom >.244

the phone heated very fast even i'm not using that heavy apps or playing games !!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ankabo:
Does it h happen after first boot? Check cpu, the system is checking sd card etc.

Gesendet von meinem C6603 mit Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:
No not after first boot .. i got the issue all the time .. when I use the phone normally it's just a second and the phone start heating .. i heard some people got the same prob on stock. 244

BTW I have updated the rom since 8 august .. and flash the updates files and all that stuff .. i didn't flash the full one that released recently
[Xperia Z Android Development] Madala_ZA:
Hey guys, lots of activity on the thread with this new update ;) so just re-posting my question so it doesn't get lost..
[Xperia Z Android Development] chrisftlse:
Was in the same trouble last week then Monx published the full one which I flashed and :thumbup: issue corrected
[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:
ahaaa .. Ok bro .. I'll give it a try
[Xperia Z Android Development] neger-t:
Works normally;)

Other thing I noticed is that the 'Navigation Bar Icons mod' as well as the 'Combined Wifi mod' are gone after changing the DPI to 320 in build.prop.

On DPI 480 they are functioning properly. On your Essential i1 rom I had no issies with this but it is only minor.

Only thing I miss in this rom over your Essential i1 is the Timeshift camera feature and the light Setting UI but again that's my personal taste.

Other than that solid rom Monx! :victory:
[Xperia Z Android Development] cfbruck:
Is anyone using doomkernel with this and can confirm if it works?

And more importantly - is there any real reason to do so? :) Doomkernel seems to have a lot of stuff in it, but this rom is great, only the update devil in me that is thinking of installing it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] neger-t:
Using Doomkernel V12 which is working great.

Reason is the ability for undervolting, underclocking ( or overclocking if you prefer), more governors etc..
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Do you have Wifi problems or less signal comparing to stock kernel? Did you flash it through TWRP?
[Xperia Z Android Development] neger-t:
Not that I'm aware of, wifi works and signal is solid.

Did flash the V12 zip trough cwm recovery while I did have issues with wifi when only used the boot.img with fastboot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] morten82:
Hi

I'm still on cwm recovery after flashing this ROM.. Why is TWRP not installed?

Thanks..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Blacklistest:
Just reflash CWM 6.0.3.3 & TWRP 2.6.0.0 by [NUT]

its working for me mate ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.

I'm new to the C6606 as it's only been int he US shortly and coming from samsung devices. What is meant by this step and where do I download file?
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
just search for generic stripped .244 firmware there are links for it in a few of the roms based off the .244 firmware then flash it using flashtools before or after installing this rom from recovery
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
thanks. so I can flash the FTF before doing my flash of the rom? after that just boot up after rom install?
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
yes just boot to recovery after then wipe and flash
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
it says to flash different firmware in directions o.O .424 or .423 not .244 do I flash .244 firmware or the other
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
.244 they havent been updated for the new base which is .244
[Xperia Z Android Development] morten82:
Thank you:) But it says in "changelog" that it comes with TWRP.. I've used almost every version of this rom, but never had TWRP! Just wondering why..?

EDIT : Just tried pressing vol down at bootup and along came TWRP :) Have tried it before with no succes, but maybe i'm stupid :o
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
alaright so correct me if I'm wrong, but it goes like thsi then... flash .244 firmware since I'm already on a 4.1.2 T-Mobile US firmware....reboot into recovery....wipe etc....install rom...reboot done?
[Xperia Z Android Development] neger-t:
Android Jellybean doens't have native app2sd support anymore and Sony also doesn't continue to support this (some other manufactures do) so I guess not.

But with 11 Gb of internal memory do you really need it?

Correct
[Xperia Z Android Development] vietvp:
This rom can not sync with bluetooth MW1 pro. Can connect but app Smart Wireless Headset pro did not start. :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] neo_na:
Small question

I am running android 4.22 rooted with the latest baseband .244....... can i flash this rom without a problem? I've got a locked bootloader..

If I can flash this rom through CWM do I have to do a full data wipe?......... if I do a data wipe can I restore all of my old apps from the back up?
[Xperia Z Android Development] neger-t:
Yes you can flash this on locked bootloader as described in 3rd post:

If you are not already running monx rom yes a full wipe is recommended. For your apps, as always first make that backup, and you can always try to restore your old apps from the backup. If it doesn't work restart with a full wipe and restore them via playstore or Titanium backup.

I personally restore them with Titanium backup.
[Xperia Z Android Development] NetSkill:
With this rom my Z stay at 100% of battery for 2/3 hours on standby withouth stamina... on stock after 2 hours of standby with stamina on 96 % remain .. How did u do this? cant belive this is build prop related..

[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
hold power until it restarts. when the green light comes on hold either volume up or down depending on what recovery u have
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
well thank you, but I cannot seem to find a FTF for .244 -_-
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
look in the threads for roms based on .244 there is a stripped version link which contains kernel and baseband only

yuga konami thread has a link
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
Which thread? A link would be wonderful as I'm sitting in Dr office waiting room. Why do Sony phones gotta be almost as " complicated" as HTC? Samsung soooo much more dev & custom ROM friendly. Ugh I might ditch this pos phone since we have no US developed ROMs

One request though is a 32 dpi and 25 dpi nav bar, sorry for requesting this but I have flashed a 25 dpi navbar but it removes the clear all button in recents/task manager and caused the system ui to freeze sometimes (maybe because of xposed framework)

Can d phone be overclocked on this rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jonster111:
Overclocking is not ROM related.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have installed a custom kernel? If yes you can overclock your phone and also this ROM.

But you need to install an App for Overclocking for example "Set CPU" or "No-Frills CPU".
[Xperia Z Android Development] kistigun:
no, you need doomkernel for OC
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
still can't find a for sure answer. help would be much appreciated. If I just flash that firmware no wipes and baseband only I will keep my t-mob network settings correct and shouldn't mess up wifi or 4g/lte etc. I wanna try this out today, but won't until I know for sure what options to select when flashing the FTF before or after teh ROM
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
you have to flash baseband and kernel but to answer your question yes you will keep lte but you may have to fix your apn. you can flash the firmware before or after the rom

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

you need to flash the kernel from the .244 firmware
