Does anyone have an issue when the Honami sony camera force closes in video record mode when you press record? Ifso, does anyone have a fix or tip? Thanks!

fixed it, was face detection
[Xperia Z Android Development] nielneal:
do video recording in manual mode...if u do video recording in superior auto mode thn it will force close;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Teknohtc:
I also found that putting the focus on single auto focus in video mode fixes the fc. Face detection is on by default

This room is awesome

But i have FC IN (.com.android.phone)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Spikestrip:
For me, battery life is far better in this ROM than I was experiencing stock. Even with relatively heavy usage I get a day and a half charge now, and doing things like Navigation and Pandora at the same time no longer causes heat and battery drain issues.

I do get the fc from the phone when I boot, but it doesn't cause a problem after booting. I also get the Bluetooth issue: my bluetooth devices are only usable as media audio, not phone. The only other issue I've seen is the fc when I try to send SMS to short numbers and the camera fc. Niaboc has said he will fix the SMS issue in the next release, and the camera fc can be worked around pretty easily.

I have an unlocked bootloader, I'm on a C6602 (but it thinks it's a C6603 after this ROM) from Japan, and I installed the tweak to have NFC running even when my screen is off. AT&T.

The bluetooth is actually a bit of a concern for me. Has anyone found a fix or even what's causing the problem?

just reflashed the kernel with all boxes unchecked on the flashtool didnt reflashed the v5, did i need to reflash the rom again ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Maetz3:
glad too see you dont read my last post. thanks for wasting my time.....

flash v5 flash fix and Flash everything in 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf';

whats the problem here?
[Xperia Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
I spent the whole afternoon in tests to determine why wifi is incorrectly working on my phone with v5.

I started from the beginning. I flashed the ftf of a .67 french firmware, the I rooted my phone and flashed dualrecovery.

Factory reset + flash of v5 + flash of superuserfix, then I powered down the phone. Finally I flashed the stripped kernel (nothing unchecked in flashtool).

I am still experiencing the same issue, wifi is randomly "crashing". When phone is just started, wifi is working fine. After a given time it seems that it stops working (no ssid is refreshed in the list). I was pretty sure to do something wrong, but after three complete re-installation, I am now sure there must be an issue or an incompatibility with this version. I have not yet tested the stock .569 to check if it suffers from the same issue or not.

Is there anyone here having issues with wifi ?

help!! I already successfully flashed the ROM and booted into it. however because that time I didn't have a SIM card in, I decided to put my SIM card in just now, boot into recovery, erase all data and then reboot so I can set everything up nicely.

upon entering "Reboot System Now" on CWM, they asked me if I wanna retain root status in the phone. that's when I realized I should re-flash V5 and SuperUser fix.zip all over again, thus I hit "Go Back". then phone tried to reboot but stuck at SONY screen, can't even enter into recovery.

tried to use flashtool to flash the .569 kernel but it still doesn't boot up... what to do?

Don't use your phone as much
[Xperia Z Android Development] Felimenta97:
Actually, he barely used his phone lol

Looks like there is something keeping your phone alive all the time and that is draining your battery. First and foremost, try to reboot the device. Second, deactivate the Setup app. Third, install BetterBatteryStats and try to check what is creating wakeup in your device... Then report.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tatomolina11:

If that doesn't help much, do a clean install...

I guess the update from 4.0 to 5.0 without SuperSU fix doesn't work.

Now I had to restore with SUS out of the bootloop/stall and now stucked with custom kernel and JB 4.3, I think it isn't possible to downgrade to get 5.0 of this version.

Any suggestions?

Tried to downgrade, managed to get to 1.434 (according to phone info), rooted with the japanese tool and again tried to come to eXistenZ 5.0 now with the SuperSU fix, but still bootstall.

Was the mistake possibly reboot to system after it without using the flashtool to 4.3 or isn't it even possible to get eXistenZ with "Stock" 4.3 JB and custom kernel?

Regards

Edit: Locked Bootloader
[Xperia Z Android Development] Maetz3:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48928827&postcount=3578

PS: on locked bootloader you cant flash any custom kernel but you have to flash the stripped tft file with all options (baseband, kernel etc.)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BerndStrom:
Thanks, I don't care about all options I lost all of my data anyway.

[Xperia Z Android Development] BerndStrom:
Yeah, flashed it on C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Generic DE, rooted it with the japanese tool, but made the mistake with custom kernel only.
[Xperia Z Android Development] lepi:
My boot loader is unlocked, yes

Before to start I did wipe for installing a new rom.

I manage to fix my phone by installing the rom and all the mods that I want ( 6x5 mod and 5 buttons), then I install the SuperSU fix and power it down. Then flashed 10.4.B.0.569 Kernel with flashtool. Power it on and its working again :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BerndStrom:
Yeah, I did made just one mistake and misinterpreted the last point.

It works now.

Thanks@ Maetz3 and MinedSafe

Hello Niaboc, I asked you something, but it was just before New Year's Eve so I guess you didn't read it. If yes, I'm sorry to ask again.

I make my themes myself, working with UCCW, Zooper, Nova and recently Lightning. I've seen with your custom eXistenZ themes that it was possible to customize them.

I waited the 4.3 to be out for the Z, cause you already didn't want to port the quick settings tiles to 4.2 when 4.3 was about to appear. (Not a critic, just explaining why this question now)

So, would it be possible to have a tool to create his own color themes for the Sony UI? I guess it touches the Sony framework but I don't know where..

If you were able to create a tool in the settings to configurate the color of the clock in the notification panel, of the messages bubbles etc, it would be very kind from you :)

Keep releasing so great updates of your rom dude :)

And happy new year to everybody!

I have been using the rom with no problems but when i use the reboot to recovery option, the phone restart and then flash red light continuously. I had to do a fresh install like instructed and everything was back to normal. This is the second time it happened due to using the reboot to recovery option. I use dual recovery by NUT. Is dual recovery the culprit?
[Xperia Z Android Development] mohdsubaie:
I believe this is because of the dual recovery as there is no default recovery that the system can boot into. There is an option to set default recovery in dual recovery you can try that and see whether it works.

You don't have to install anything if you want get back to default. Just delete android-res.apk will do.

Go to System/vendor/overlay using root explorer
