home the back button does not work with LMT, how to have thev pie?

I just tested GMD gesture control and I can not do it all the work! This is quite annoying!
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
I'd just use it how it is... Maybe button saviour would do it. I'm not sure. I'm waiting for CyanogenMod to release 10.2
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
hey taylor_swift!

awesome work! i just booted this rom,

however, i have realised that the colours on the screen are a bit washed out,

similar to on the 350 and 434 firmwares.

sony then released the 253 firmware which made the colours a lot better.

just asking if you are planning to patch it :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Buddingdev:
Locked bootoader

Will this work on Loked bootloader ?? :/
[Xperia Z Android Development] alessa:
it's good, I managed to LMT ;)

is it possible to change the dpi to 290? because if its not working is the bootloops and must reflash everything ...(YESI test and is functional !!)

to hide the navigation bar, I installed ultimate dynamic navbar and is nickel ;)

how can you be done to install a mod kind PureXAudio v20, because the recovery is not accessible?
[Xperia Z Android Development] elinho:
How do you want me to flash supersu without recovery in this rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjackbjorn:
Flash it in recovery after the rom before you reboot :)

btw, seems like it's not possible to make the system writeable..
[Xperia Z Android Development] rayblo:
No it wont
[Xperia Z Android Development] chesterr:
I used DoomKermel v09, it has the clockworkmod recovery, flashed both rom and the superuser files then rebooted the phone.

works like a charm, no issues at all yet that I'm missing my 64gb sdcard,Hope there will be a way to get it working. :crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z Android Development] elinho:
Thanks bro!
[Xperia Z Android Development] alessa:
hello is it possible to add a MOD without the recovery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] heubergen:
Possible yes, with fastboot. But if and why it works: I don't no.
[Xperia Z Android Development] schoolsux:
Tried just for fun to get ROM working on LOCKED bootloader but it dint't really work out great. Phone became stone-dead, didn't even show the Sony boot logo. So I had to restore system + kernel from a .423 stock rom using Flashtool and then fix root and recovery again.

Anyone else had better luck? Am I missing something?

I'm considering unlocking the booloader soon anyways but still.... ;)

EDIT: Also I didn't see any attached boot.img file in the first posts? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] heubergen:
Unlocked it or forget this ROM today.
[Xperia Z Android Development] chesterr:
So I found out that none of the sd cards work yet the internal storage.
[Xperia Z Android Development] PNuT.:
my ext card worked but i could not view it with root browser.... showed up in esfile though
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjackbjorn:
It wont work on a locked bootloader, ever. Since you have to install a custom kernel :)

Unlock it and enjoy some awesomeness ;)

Edit: But don't forget to backup your TA partition before you unlock!

The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:

1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.

2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />

4. Save the changes to the file.

5. Restart your tablet.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Grozos:
I got the same!! Can't live without root so I actually flashed Stock back.. I will get this ROM again immediately when this is fixed!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Paulikid:
Great Rom, runs lik a charm without any issues so far. The only thing I really miss is the stock sony album app. The ported honami app from a thread here at xda doesn´t work, the album app fc´s.
[Xperia Z Android Development] elinho:
Ive searched for the boot.img file now for like 15 min, search the thread to, where can i find it to enter recovery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Use any boot.IMG from any custom ROM. There isnt a specific one. Just use any...
[Xperia Z Android Development] elinho:
Ow man haha. The Z is so complicated. When i had my samsungs everything were much easier xD
[Xperia Z Android Development] haynesteve:
I have a 64gb memory card, having no problem with it using this Rom.

As for rooting not working, I had this problem when updating over v1, but worked with a clean install.

The Sony Xperia Z was made to have stock Android on it.

Just installed it and it works perfect. No bugs until now. It is faster and much better.

The SD card works perfectly, camera, wifi, BT, NFC, everithing works like it should.

Thanks again!!!

[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr. Droid:

[Xperia Z Android Development] dirtyjeff:
Just checking, by back up current ROM that means a Nandroid back up using CW recovery right?

Also I saw earlier in the thread Taylor Swift said CM is way better than AOSP. Why is this? All I want is a super quick and stable ROM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ethan3686:
Does this rom need unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Richy99:
yes..ideally it should be specified in the title
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Phone won't boot on locked boatloader with this ROM - So YES!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rekoil:
Or people could learn more about their phones and we wouldn't need this stupid title pollution...

It's dead simple actually: Anything that requires a non-standard kernel will need an unlocked bootloader. All AOSP-based projects qualify for this. Unless the ROM you would like to install is based on the Sony ROM, you will not be able to use it without unlocking the bootloader.
[Xperia Z Android Development] szo:
Merci pour ta réponse très constructive.
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
I don't know French, but does that mean "please make your posts more constructive"?
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
No it means: thanks for your response it's very constructive.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rekoil:
While it might not exactly have been on this topic, it is information I expect every Xperia Z owning XDA user to know and understand. It would be much more useful if ROM threads contained a "-based"-prefix. Like maybe [Sony-based], [AOSP-based] or even [CM-based]. Because that would at a quick glance give an indication of how stable or how far along a ROM is.

Add a tag for Android version as well and I think we've got a good standard here!

E.g.

[ROM][AOSP-based][4.3.0] Xperia Z Google Play Edition - JSS15J - Version 2

[ROM][CM-based][4.3.0] Unofficial CM 10.2 for Xperia Z (C6603)

[ROM][Sony-based][4.2.2] ★ monxDIFIED ★ ESSENTIAL i1 | HONAMi ® COMPLETE | STABLE

This works since we all know how far along AOSP 4.3.0 is for example, and we all know what bugs are associated with Sonys 4.2.2 release.

[/off-topic]

[MENTION=4962997]Taylor_Swift[/MENTION]

Looking forward to your CM10.2 ROM, might use that as a daily driver until the official nightlies start popping up. Bored of 4.2.2 now hehe.
[Xperia Z Android Development] scpion:
As per the OP instruction to get back to recovery, I had flash the boot.img and after reboot, I cant get into recovery.. there is no "led blink" for me to push + ....

Btw, the rom rocks! but cant live without LTE...
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Which boot.IMG are you using. You need to use a CM or stock kernel from DoomLord.
[Xperia Z Android Development] scpion:
Dun laugh.... I.... used the boot.img in your attachment...

Digging a hole to hide myself now..

[Xperia Z Android Development] dirtyjeff:
You didn't read the third post in the thread did you? I think you will need to revert back to your previous ROM and try again to get recovery. Read the second and third posts.

[MENTION=4962997]Taylor_Swift[/MENTION] It would be nice if you would have given me some credit. Taking my stuff and presenting it as your own work is very low.

Proof:

boot.img

-> You are using my kernel:
adrian@fuzzy:/tmp/a/boot$ strings boot.img-kernel |grep adri
(adrian@fuzzy) (gcc'x

-> My /yuga_*.sh script are in boot.img

-> init.sony.rc is a 1:1 copy of my version

system

-> Includes my /system/bin/qc-fqd binary

-> Settings.apk was also silently copied from my ROM:
adrian@fuzzy:/tmp/a/system/app/S$ strings ./res/xml/yuga_settings.xml|grep pabx
pabx_powersave_bias
pabx_screen_fsc
pabx_singlecore_mode

...and there is much more: a diff of both roms ('your' Google-Play-Xperia-Z.zip with md5sum 26db8348df4e56e2b5795c874f26cf0d and my pabx_aosp_yuga-2_1.zip with md5sum 7b6b1d63e605325f5e49509e642d4371 -> see attached screenshot) shows that you didn't even recompile.

Note that even the md5sum of libril.so matches, so 'your' version seems to magically include this patch from my repo: https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga/a...mmit/cf3c47e9ab7f51fa5051080927937b9a99637499

[Xperia Z Android Development] pabx:

Well: You are distributing a *slightly* modified/repacked version of my ROM (i invested quite some work in it) and claimed it to be your own work. You shouldn't be surprised that i'm offended by this - but it's ok now as you added me to the credits.

But i still do not see any gain in this ROM: All my stuff is on github, if you want to change something you could just recompile it from scratch (this would be A LOT cleaner + more stable than replacing blobs with other blobs) or - even better - send me a pull request.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Didn't claim its mine. Technically I still said its Pulsers... Cheers for that but I'm going CM now.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Well, this can't be good...Followed your instructions, and installed the ROM.

BUT my phone won't even turn the screen on, all i get is a small vibration when i try to turn it on...Do i have to reflash my phone?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Locked boot loader or unlocked boot loader... Just flash this like a normal ROM. Don't get confused with Boot.IMGs yet... Did you mess with boot.IMG?
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
Riiight, im using LOCKED bootloader...Damn! Guess i'll just reflash my phone with stock 434 :)

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Okay, I just installed it like a normal ROM and rebooted my device...Problem is, it's not at all turning on!

Like i said, a small vibration when i try to turn it on and a blinking red light when i connect the charger...
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yup. This doesn't work with locked boot loaders.
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
It took some time, but now i got it up and running! Looks great, so thx! :)

Any chance u will release a transparent status and navbar zip? Don't know if the others will work :)

And um, just a quick question...Why can't i root my phone using this ROM?
[Xperia Z Android Development] air23cpt:
You got it to boot on a "Locked Bootloader"??
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
Sadly no, but I don't have a problem with unlocking my bootloader, so I did that...But I want to be able to customize a littlebit myself, and it seems impossible with this ROM :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] air23cpt:
Oh ok well I'm on T-Mobile and cant unlock my boot loader :crying:
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
Seriously, is there no way to do that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] air23cpt:
From what I've read if it says NO on the boot loader then its not possible.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yeah you forgot the flash SuperSU. Not the ROMS fault. Read the whole thread as stated (Yes its long, but it is very relevant).

To gain root if you have forgotten it -

Copy the original boot.img packed with this ROM and place in fast boot area

Download SuperSU and put on SD Card

Put phone in Fast boot mode

Download DoomLords CWM for stock boot.IMG

Flash boot.IMG

Reboot into recovery and flash SuperSU

Reboot phone back into fast boot mode and flash the original boot.img.

And then you shall have root :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
Thx for your tip, but i'm pretty sure i did that..After all i did reflash my phone because it got stuck, rooted it, installed recovery, supersu, and then ROM.

But i will have to try the boot.img...i can't live with this, haha :)

It's my first time with unlocked bootloader so yes, i probably did something wrong :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Flashing root file before ROM doesn't work because ROM wipes system before installing. It needs to be done immediately afterwards, while still in CWM, and before rebooting.
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
That's easier for a noob to understand, thx :)

But now i will have to do it the "hard" way.
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
After flashing SuperSU, and rebooting i get a question:

ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?

-No

-Yes - Disable recovery flash

I should choose No, right?

Don't want to do everything all over again :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] warfareonly:
Choose yes.

The stock recovery is not the same as cwm recovery !
[Xperia Z Android Development] artipex:
Too late ;o

But now i have root access, so hopefully i can just install recovery with my computer again? Using FT, and boot.img? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
OK so it seems this stock kernel thing I messing people up. So now I shall be releasing CM10.2 and also Google Play Box since this stock thing is a bit custom ROM unfriendly
[Xperia Z Android Development] eranda84:
wow this would be great news. couldn't be wait until Taylor_Swift upload new ROM...

Thank you :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Good news and bad news. Let's start with the bad news cause there is two things that are good.

LG UI 3.0 is hard. Very hard to work. My friend [MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION] has been working hard but we have no success.

So what do we do when one fails? Start another. So we started Sense 5.0... And it looks a whole lot more promising.

Part 1 - [MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION] has been working very hard so once released buy him a beer or whatever. He's building the base to get it booted and I'll fix the problems and add tweaks onto it.

Part 2 - Google Play Box (My own new custom ROM) has just finished the design stage and will be worked on tomorrow with a hope that it will be released on the same day... It includes many tweaks and UI changes :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinnesotaVikings1961:
Finally something new about the Sense5, great to hear!

It will be very interesting to see what your Playbox is! But anything new on this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Its like PAC plus a whole UI change on it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Terriertheone:
Sense would be so cool :thumbup:

Hope we will see some progress on it soon :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Moody:
Great news that you're working on Sense but I would like to warn you, when trying to port HTC's framework you'll have to part ways with a little thing called "social life". The Sense framework has deep integration in the kernel. The reason that Sense ports between HTC devices work out so well is that they both have a HTC-based kernel.

That said, it is not completely impossible to port HTC to sony devices. It will require a load of kernel development though. My suggestion is starting off learning from source code from HTC kernels for the HTC Butterfly and tweaking our kernel to match it's structure and implement HTC-specific code. It's a good idea to use that rom as a base, since the Butterfly and Z share a lot of hardware components. (S4 SoC, 2GB Ram, 1080p res).

The hardest part is getting the thing to boot, really. Once you have the Butterfly rom working you could use the same process to get a HTC One Butterfly port working on the Xperia Z, thereby achieving Sense 5 on the Z.

It is a good idea to contact other Sony dev's who have gone through the blood, sweat and tears of porting Sense to Sony devices before. I have tried this two months ago, but sadly have not recieved a reply yet. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956132&page=39
[Xperia Z Android Development] Fodor Gábor:
This rom works only unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Moody:
Yes, this rom only works on unlocked bootloaders. Contrary to popular believe, though, it is NOT impossible for AOSP / non-sony based roms to work on locked bootloaders. Sony has been using locked bootloaders since day one, the fact that they're unlockable is a new 'luxory'. Take a look at the x10 (mini) (pro) / x8 forums. They all have AOSP-based roms (including mine!) which use a ramdisk-hack called by chargemon. Another alternative would be using 2nd-init or 2nd-boot.

But working on a project like this would take a looong time, and since almost all of us have the ability to simply backup, unlock, relock and restore our bootloaders there is no real advantage for developers to be focussing their time on such a project.

[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
Hahaha. I actually have almost ended up parting with my social life lol. And yes, the framework seems to break a lot of things. It's framework2.jar that's got me stumped. It has an unsatisfied link error. The biggest gripe of them all is using an old CM base. I have to revert all commits to get the kernel source even if I have to develop a kernel. Instead, I am seeing how else I can tinker around with it.
