It's a good Rom, I'm glad with the improvements... There are some bugs of course, like the Album apps is very slow, or when I have a lockscreen pincode, and I access the camera app from the lockscreen, I can't change the camera mode, because it will go back to ask the pin.

Battery life is very good with this one, by normal use, but I found when using a BT headset, the battery drains faster than in the 307 rom, but for a early version, it's very stable.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
I added support for this release in XZDualRecovery 2.5 BETA. For anyone hooked on TWRP, this is your chance to get it back :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ricky D:
Meaning this ROM is flashable with the DualRecovery? i.e. can be flashed with an unlocked bootloader and still be able to reflash DualRecovery back again?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
yes :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ricky D:
Just wanted to make sure as the thread title says unlocked bootloaders only..
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
You still will be needing an unlocked bootloader to use this 4.2.2 ROM of course, but you can use XZDualRecovery to get the latest TWRP recovery, for those who dislike CWM or dislike the CWM button bashing. :)

XZDualRecovery will work in tandem with the kernel recovery, so you will see a purple led from the kernel first (offering CWM only) and then a green led from XZDualRecovery :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Works fine:thumbup:
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
That, and that you can use XZDualRecovery while running this ROM as a secondary recovery to be able to use TWRP.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
I have a good battery life on 4.2.2 but why i have 38% phone without signal,even though red signal are rarely visible??
[Xperia Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
58% here. Not sure it means something, as for the screen on values ...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tamirwig:
Well, I came back to this leak after clearing Cache, Dalvik Cache and it works well. If an app misbehaves, I just clear its data and Cache. :)

I have another problem though. Due to different placement of files (Different location) in 4.2.2, all of my old files in the internal SD card are inaccessible through Root explorer, and when connected to the PC. That way I'm stuck with an almost depleted Internal SD Card and no way of transferring the files to the new feasible folder. I even lost all my ringtones and notification sound settings this way...

What can I do about it?

EDIT: exFAT works btw, 32GB CL10 Micro-SD, removed it before flashing the rom, and when I put it back in it was recognized immediately.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr. Droid:
Apologies, I thought I was on the cm thread. Yes it works
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Old internal SDcard card files should be in /data/media. Transfer them to /data/media/0, which is the new internal SD card path.
[Xperia Z Android Development] edulunard:
Any good soul can develop a Navigation Bar for this new version. The original bar is overly large!
[Xperia Z Android Development] mmamedov:
Mediaserver ate 37% of battery. I'm listening to Pandora/Walkman all day. But they have their own percentage in the list. In 307 everything was normal. I charged phone 3 times but not fully. That's why it shows 1day+.
[Xperia Z Android Development] xaneybert:
Why is it that ae cant add lockscreen widgets if security is on pin or password.

Any insights?
[Xperia Z Android Development] bharat4ever:
That's the way 4.2.2 is designed. Even on AOSP. I think this is just common sense. If you have a pin or password, you want your data to be secure. No use showing it off even before you unlock the screen. right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mythusme:
Flash ANDROID 4.2.2 (v03-01) by monxDIFIED. Its a stock deodex 4.2.2 rom with reboot option and 48px, 36px n 32px navbar

[Xperia Z Android Development] xaneybert:
Then why can nexus 4 add new lockscreen widgets even if they have pin/password security?
[Xperia Z Android Development] dron39:
How you can add support for exFAT cards to this ROM?

You additionaly flashing something over this ROM?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
No need, it has native support. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dron39:
I only need flash this ROM with instructions from OP to get extFAT support??
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes sir :) exFAT is supported by this ROM&Kernel (You can not use DoomKernel on this ROM, so it flashes a new kernel in the process).
[Xperia Z Android Development] cyrom:
Silly question: if i restore my TA backup on this rom, will i get BE back?
[Xperia Z Android Development] smardu:
NO. You need to use stock kernel with BL locked. This is a leaked version.

TA restore will lock your BL and you will get a soft brick.
[Xperia Z Android Development] strogger:
Hi, come from 10.1.1.A.1.253 stock ROM. I use the ROM now 4 days and had no problems until now. The only thing a thing I've found that the battery consumption is about 20% higher. Same usage and same apps.
[Xperia Z Android Development] babylonbwoy:
If you disappointed by the rom and you expected a lot it's not Sony fault. People complains about to much customisation by the manufacturer and when they try to make it much vanilla feel by not customising too much then people complain about "ho the update only brings google stuff and nothing new from Sony"...

You have to know what you want. Personally I like the 4.2.2 like it is, only battery drain is annoying me.

[Xperia Z Android Development] californicated:
Did anyone try if there is any launcher other than the Sony stock one with the status and navbar being transparent? Apex, Nova und 360 Launcher --> black
[Xperia Z Android Development] Andrewtst:
I try Nova, Apex, and Go launcher all show black bar.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ambroos:
You need to have integration between the system (probably Framework) and the launcher to make stuff like this work. It's not that simple.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gbil:
I see many people complaining about battery drain.

After using a 4.2.2 stock ROM for some days without any battery drain problem, I even get higher battery times than with the 4.1.2 ROMs and not only me, I can only assume that the issue is caused by:

- flashing without a full wipe

- because this is a leaked ROM and probably 'incomplete' one

My suggestion is to consider this leak as a feature demo ONLY and when the final version arrives do a full wipe.

Anyone tried XZdualrecovery with this rom?

Is TWRP working without issues?

I dont like CWM since I got a taste of TWRP and I`ve done a backup yesterday and it took ages till it was finished.

It was about 20 Minutes and the device got really hot during the backup.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes, I did :) it works very well :D

Just be sure to use the beta release.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
How could I doubt you! ;)

Can I use the flashable zip because CWM is already working, or do I have to use the PC?

Edit: tried the zip version and all went well! TWRP is working fine, just doing a backup! Thx again [nut] for your continous great work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Thank you for clearing this up! I hope the msm_hsic_host wakelock is limited / fixed, that sucker is awful as it is..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Haldi4803:
Where did my Backups go ?

i went into CWM, pressed "Backup"... worked.... restarted.... no backups around!

tried the same again... now i have 307mb used spaced on internal SD card and 2.16gb Free... from 11GB! The Backups are around somwhere but invisible! And because i have a EXFat SD Card i cant moun that in CWM...does TWRC support ExFat ?

-.- 2.16gb free from 11.7gb, but only around 800mb used ! Any way to fix that?

P.S They should be in Clockworkmode right? couldn't find them anywhere else on Sdcard -.-
[Xperia Z Android Development] Michealtbh:
CWM sucks, it saves backups to /data/media, the location of the virtual SD in 4.2.2 is /data/media/0
[Xperia Z Android Development] Haldi4803:
It did boot kinda fine.

Flashed the .zip in CWM recovery on 307 with doomkernel v8!

altought i have no idea whats this huge "power Off" "use phone" button is after first boot xD

P.S Transparent pin lock screen is awesome!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Andrewtst:
Cool! Thanks a lot, will try out tomorrow. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fareeed:
Just flashed, quick overview here:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Michealtbh:
When you flash the .zip you also flash the new kernel, so you didn't run 4.2.2 with DoomKernel

There is something new called DAYDREAM under display settings. I don't know what it does.

Oh, description says "To control what happens when the device is docked or charging, turn daydream on".

Brown means it's a developers phone. Not actually a brown Z. Would be nice though. I also really like the brown colored Galaxy III. But i don't like samsung as a brand.

I haven't tested this yet, i read there was no changes made to the camera on an other thread.

- Walkman - same

- Album - same

- Movies - slightly different

- Clock app - same

- Camera UI - same

- Calendar - same

- Music Control in lockscreen - check OP for screenshot

[Xperia Z Android Development] Dreiundachzig:
Is there a music shortcut on security lockscreen? And what about widgets?
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
why i cant unistall system apps?...
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Because they are part of your ROM? You can only remove system apps by removing them from the /system/app folder AFAIK.
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
I usualy use Link2sd to do this and i can always
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
You are still not very specific on what causes you not to be able to remove system apps... if you would you might get a more useful answer?
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
... Look here: When i try to unistall All system apps appears this and i dont know why because i'm rooted and i use Link2SD

With HTC OneX, Liquid MT and L5 i can uninstall all without problems
[Xperia Z Android Development] *boy*racer*:
How come I can't have a transparent nav bar with wallpapers I choose from album? I only have transparent nav bar if I choose a theme only.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Heh, you know you just said you tried to remove all your system apps, i hope? Don't you mean removing some of them? :silly:

What are you trying to do exactly? De-bloat it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] mohdsubaie:
Try using titanium backup to uninstall system apps or you can delete them from the system/app folder
[Xperia Z Android Development] Haldi4803:
Figured that out... now i have the problem, in CWM i can browse /sdcard/0/ and then have all my files, stuff i moved isn't in /sdcard/foldername .... guess i have it twice now ? (and i cant install stuff from /sdcard/0/ -.- )

Guess SEUS repair will fix that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Michealtbh:
No. Just move everything from /data/media to data/media/0, ignore all other paths because they're just symlinks.

CWM is outdated and will always use data/media

Does anyone have lag/stutter when scrolling down on Facebook and xda?

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Yes, scrolling lags for me, too. On facebook, tapatalk and browser sometimes!
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
No, CWM certainly is not outdated, just not tailored for use on this ROM. My guess and hunch is that it's easily fixed by a small change to the ramdisk even. TWRP has an advantage over CWM though, it was already reworked entirely to work on 4.2.x JB, with the recommendations from Google in mind.

The latest commit to the CWM source code as we speak is only days old... Outdated? No. Time for a major overhaul? Yes.
[Xperia Z Android Development] babylonbwoy:
It's a leak, how do you want SUS repair it ? It will flash latest 4.1.2 if you use it.

But it's true all the mess with sd card is annoying but it's due to the kernel or/and recovery, the same goes with 4.1.2 JB...

Still on BetterBatteryStats list but it drain less than before.

The one that is buggin me is the *sync*_com.android.calendar_Account{name=blahblahdbf,type=com.google}

Even with autosync disabled (only enabled to sync one or twice a day when adding stuff to calendar/task or contacts) it is always on top of the list in BBS.
