Hey guys, hope someone can help me, came over from the i1 Honami Version as that one hasn´t been updatet du .244 yet, all is quite well, except that i installed the white circle battery and the merged wifi signal mods, and at the same time i set my LCD density to 320 instead of 480 dpi via build prop, so when i don´t do so, it seams the statusbar mods work, if i set the dpi to 320, they don´t work, on the full honami rom with .423 it worked on both!? Any one has an idea, what i can do, i´m not that smart in editing around in the systemui.apk, but if someone can point me where i have to change something there, and what, i´ll give it a try :D

thansk in advance and great rom, monx :D

and another question that just came to my mind, when using 320 dpi we encounter the problem of the dail button disappearing, shouldn´t one be able to resolve by pushing the phone.apk or such from the xperia z ultra to our system/app/ as the ZU has the same screen resolution just 320 dpi from stock, or am i wrong? and if so, anyone has an idea where to get that apk :D

Can I unlock bootloader from this rom straight away?

C6603 ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
there is really no reason to unlock bootloader to use a stock rom and if you do you will lose bravia engine
[Xperia Z Android Development] SLtAR:
i come from the latest full honami rom [ROM][LB&UB](16/07)(v01-03) ★ monxDIFIED ★ ESSENTIAL i1 | HONAMi ® COMPLETE | STABLE

can i just upgrade the firmware and flash this rom? or i need a full wipe?
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
its recommended to wipe but you dont have to if you dont want to. if you dont wipe and you have problems then do a clean install and wipe before you start posting bugs(which there are none)
[Xperia Z Android Development] SLtAR:
thanks i think i will wait the other rom to be updated i dont want to wipe all my data :)

many thanks :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] beni8978:
Man, I backed up my TA.

So i can get my bravia engine back whenever I want.

C6603 ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] dron39:
What does it mean?

I install 04-04-00 OTA and doesn't see any changes in Settings.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
There is one reason to unlock the bootloader - flashing of an custom, unsigned kernel for getting root access easier and unlocking the full potential of the SoC in the Xperia Z. Try doing that on locked bootloader..

[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
well the rom is already rooted... so the only thing you really gain is the ability to overclock and undervolt. with the xz being a quadcore overclocking is overkill and undervolting doesnt really make much of a difference. so... unlock your bootloader lose bravia and gain a placebo effect of "my phone is so fast and has such great battery life":cool:
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeopardise:

easy to get root, recovery, useful when a new firmware rolled out.

can try roms for unlocked BL

can try other kernel for overclocking, governor and many other possibilities

should not be *****y about battery life; even on stock this problem still exist ; very subjective
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
root? rom is rooted already

rom includes recovery

useful when new firmware rolls out? still the same process for locked and unlocked bootloaders

other kernel for overclocking? no need to overclock a quadcore device. ill give you the governor. it will help a LITTLE and there are not many other possibilitys and i think losing bravia engine is worse than maybe gaining an hour of battery life and some new bugs
[Xperia Z Android Development] monx®:

im totally agree with u. no point to unlock BL unless u want use aosp based rom.

btw im currently working on tap to wake feature & it needs unlocked bootloader as custom mod kernel is required to achieve this. but still WIP & no ETA atm.

[Xperia Z Android Development] harryc1127:
I installed the rom which went perfectly, Then i held down the lock button and it comes up with that menu with different options such as airplane mode, reboot etc etc.

Then i installed the purelock screen mod by black97one, monxdifieds battery mod and the colour home button mods, after i installed these mods, whenever i hold the lock button the phone just restarts itself. What could be the problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] monx®:
simply bcos the other mod frm other dev is not compatible unless stated otherwise. ask the dev nicely to make their mod compatible with this rom.

■ xda ⓡ developer
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Well, to even flash your specific ROM on locked bootloader - you need first to grant your device root access and a lot of times, that requires doing that, then doing that and if you're doing it wrong - do it all again.

With an custom kernel, you're rooted in 4-5 seconds. What does sound better to you?
[Xperia Z Android Development] bandario:
Is pretty sweet but I am not having any luck with doomkernel v13 on new rom version. Had to flash kernel from stock FTF again to get wifi.

Hope doomloord fixes it up soon!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Did you flash the Doomkernel v13 ZIP in recovery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] bandario:
No, I flashed the boot.img via flashtool!

Are we supposed to flash from recovery now?!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
For getting Wifi to work, you also need to flash the whole ZIP in recovery after flashing the boot.img via Flashtool. Stock wifi modules doesn't work with Doomkernel v13.. ;)

Hi,

I have an UL bootloader, rooted, on .244 firmware, and using the PAC ROM. I want to flash this ROM. Are the steps below mentioned correct?

1. Backup data to microSD

2. Copy this rom zip to microSD

3. Flash this rom after wiping the data.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] monx®:
PAC rom is using custom aosp based kernel. u need to flash sony stock/stock based custom kernel for this rom.

■ xda ⓡ developer
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
You mean to say I need to go back by flashing the stock rom first and then flash this rom by following the above steps?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Spitfire400:
Nope, you are all good to go after that. Remember factory/full wipe before flash. Nothing else, just reboot after
[Xperia Z Android Development] ram11:
Confused more now.

1. Backup data to microSD

2. Do factory wipe

3. flash stock rom with ftftool.

4. Flash this rom

Correct?

Thanks

Battery bug still here.....

After a restore with twrp the battery bug came back :confused::confused::confused: that was a fresh install on a new rotted system.

4.2.2 = junk

But charging speed is still slow, like the stock 224 rom. I spent 3hours to charge 80% from 10% using the original sony charger (2.0A output), is it hardware or software related?

Excellent battery life even with moderate to heavy use! Over 25 hours with more than 4 hours screen time. Nice stuff monx ;)

Well, underclock to 1,3 Ghz and undervolt a little (init.d script or thru app) and play around with CPU Governor and I/O Scheulder to see what gives you best battery life :)

Factory reset by wiping data, cache and dalvik cache in recovery and then reinstall rom from recovery.

Did you definitely flash the stock kernel ftf for 244? Wifi won't work if you are still using a 423 kernel.

Can anyone say what to do now?

Thanks bud, if I get flashtool to recognize it, what firmware would i need to flash in order to be fully stock? I dont want to deal with this anymore.:cyclops:
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
all the firmwares will be stock it just depends on what firmware your specific model has been updated to. you shouldnt give up so easy im pretty sure its almost imposible to hard brick with a locked bootloader and thats probably why your having this problem. you need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jess813:
I know I am not bricked, but this version C0663 will never have an unlocked bootloader, and I am ok with that. I just hate that for every rom that I flash i need to get to a PC to flash a kernel.

I will keep you guys posted, but do you guys know if the flashtool has the firmwares built in? I am googling them and all i get it .tar files. and not ftf files.
[Xperia Z Android Development] skinsfanbdh:
no it doesnt include the ftf files you have to download them and put them in the firmware file in the flashtool directory and you dont have to flash the kernel everytime just when its a different firmware base like .423 to .244 or vise versa

but the only version of the xz that is unlockable is the c6606 as far as i know. do you have the c6603? because that one is unlockable
