Yep - I can confirm Bluetooth, A2DP and NFC work perfectly.

Everything works as far as I can tell and ROM has been rock-solid for me so far; had a few crashes on CM10.2, but not here!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dizzyberkowitz:
Had one hang today, while played Time Surfer, screen was on. After reboot via "reset" ive got a huge battery drop from ~50% to ~35%. This was the only bug so far. A2DP/BT working fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
A quick question (since I usually run PAC): Is it possible to get five buttons in the navbar on this Paranoid Android ROM?

I usually put search, back, home, recent and menu there and with PAC, it is done via the AOKP settings.

Here is an example of the button layout I use in PAC (on Xperia Z).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
Can you guys post Screen shots of the dpi choices that work best for us? I'm looking for a a tablet/phone instead of the other way around. I'd like to be able to use it as the Tablet Z with phone.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

the cool thing about this rom that I can now take full advantage of is the PIE controls. I hated it on the note 2 because of the physical button. it felt weird
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] robifis:
Hmm never thought about running it as a tablet. maybe I'll reconsider. I'm currently running my System UI at 245 DPI and the 720p phablet mode so the buttons run along the bottom in landscape mode.

Just been doing some Benchmark testing and it's up there if you go by Antutu Scores. I know they are all bollocks but I always like to try.

Epic Citadel is still giving me a 57.3 average which is nearly identical to what I get on the .532 version.

Awesome ROM all in all.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
sweet thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] GOF007:
I have some freezing problem with Teamspeak for Android. I dunno is it this rom problem or Teamspeak problem but I dont have the problem on Stock ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Unless I missed it somewhere, I don't believe it's possible to have the search button in the navigation bar, and the menu button doesn't appear to be permanent.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
You can if you use the PIE control.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] big:
Thanks for share

I had custom rom 510 and unlock bootload, i can flash kernel cm10 at #1 again?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Does this ROM's kernel change the temperature of the display at all? Earlier, when I was running the stock firmware I noticed that my display had a noticeable yellow tint to it, and the difference between it and my Nexus 4 was pretty dramatic. It didn't really bother me, but I was aware of it. Now, however, white looks white, and although there is still a difference between this phone and my Nexus 4, the Nexus 4 looks a little too blue to me. I guess it could be the placebo effect, but I didn't expect any difference, so I'm not sure why I would imagine one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
wow very impressed ! it seems to me to be much quicker then the cm 10.2 rom - keep up the great work !!

4.4 beta 1 for z ultra released, thanks!! :victory::victory:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adx_x:
pie control is very slow on 4.4beta1？ does anybody have this issue？
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Same here. I've activated Immersive Mode and can make the pie appear sometimes. Most of the time, I just can't activate it.

Otherwise, excellent ROM! First time I've tried it. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] beerbong:
Pie is more difficult to trigger due to a change in it's code.

I didn't have time to change the overlay for it but will be there for the next build.

In case you wanna see what caused it: https://github.com/AOSPA/android_frameworks_base/commit/14245f09bac004faeee87fed06be9cf842da07a1
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jamesst20:
Hi,

I was wondering, once Hybrid Properties (which I don't really espect soon, maybe in 2015) is released, will it include the "Tablet UI" (regrouped Nav Bar and status bar) like in the past?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dizzyberkowitz:
No.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Not likely, the code that allowed for that functionality has been stripped from the source for 4.4

However, and this is purely conjecture based on my desire for a tablet UI, the reason for the AOSPA team keeping Paranoid Android in beta could be that they are trying to re-engineer that mode back in, Again, here's hoping.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
4.4 RC1 has been built already! That was fast! Release info here. Remember to flash 4.4.3 Gapps.

Working perfectly, including the Pie. Thank you, beerbong and the rest of PA! :)

the computer can't mount the sd? Need wipe the factory data?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jrob2k:
Anyone else notice their mobile connection dropping every hour or so for a few minutes? I'll try a fresh install tomorrow when i've got the time, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kiawin:
Yes, you can do that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adx_x:
ye, today do a new flash install, everything is ok
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jrob2k:
Seems like the clean install has just made things worse. I'm on At&t with the latest Paranoid and it seems like every few minutes i lose mobile data for a bit.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kiawin:
I'm unsure what happened to yours, but I'm fine with dirty flash, by ensuring wiping cache and dalvik cache.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
I have been using the GPe ROM 4.4.2 by bigixie for a while and I though I will try the PA Rom (My most favourite on Samsung GNote 1 & 2) especially with the Hybrid Mode (Phone, Phablet,Tablet, Hybrid). My first impressions are really good and the ROM has come a long way on the XZU and like with the GPe ROM, I always try to personalise the ROM to my liking by removing the unnecessary apps and adding my own apps. So far so good. I have done everything to my liking and the current ROm size with all my apps is around 860MB.

Big Thanks to the developers for making an effort to bring PA to XZU. Great work.

My advice to everyone installing it is that if you are coming from a stock ROM like .757 or so;

-Always place the ROM files inside the Internal SD for installing the ROM,

-Always do a System wipe before installing to avoid seeing Sony apps from the STOCK Firmware or the Mobile Network connection/Modem functionality may be lost,

-Only do Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache after installing the ROM, if you do Wipe System/data you may lose Root

-If you wnat to increase the Volume on your ROM, then download this(Copy the file into internale memory, enter recovery and flash the zip file but do not wipe caches);

to Increase Volume

OR this;

to Revert to Stock Volume Levels

(Thanks to Auras76 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2476498)

Here is what I need help to make the ROM even better for my use (Sorry I cannot share the ROM as it has paid apps etc...)

--I would like someone to upload the latest apk of Google+/PlusOne.apk that works fully once integrated into the ROM zip file because all the ones I have and the one inside the Gapps 4.4.3 does not work after integration into the ROM (it states that Google + has ot been installed properly)

--I would like someone to possibly help us to find a way to integrate/mod apps so that they can be flashed into the device with the ROM. Some apps do work some don't. I don't know about odexing etc... so would be nice to know if there was a simplere way of getting apps to integrate so thye don't give FCs or fail to load.

--Here is the Killer Question,one that everyone would want the answer to be a big Yes!; Can the ROM be engineered by Devs to integrate the Hybrid mode into the source code? Should we petition Google to bring back the functionality into Android 4.5?:D

Thanks to the Devs again for their hardwork and to everyone for reading and hope someone will help me with my questions.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
What gapps should i download? 4.4 or 4.3? :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Guys i have a bit of a noob question, im on monXDIFIED rom, i have my backup of original stock rooted rom on CWM. If i flash PA but want to revert to my CWM backup, how would i do this if ive flash a different boot.img file. Also where do i find the CM11 boot.img file, thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The nandroid will contain the kernel that was installed at the time so the restore would well restore it

You only need to flash cm boot.img if you don't have a recovery that will flash the ROM zip . there will be a boot.img in the zip if you have to use it

Sent from CarbonROM on my Z-Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Thats great, i have dual recovery installed, down for TWRP, up on volume button for CWM, so i guess that'l be enough then.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jrob2k:
I called and had my imei updated. That seems to have helped the problem. I have noticed that the hotspot functionality doesn't work though. This has been true since the nightlies. No one can connect to it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
So... I'm about to download the latest build, but it's Goo.im, so that's not happening at all. Can someone please upload the latest build and post it here? It's not possible to download it from the link in the OP.

[MENTION=1806623]beerbong[/MENTION], please stop using Goo.im. The site has been in "maintenance mode" for about a year now, and the devs have disappeared, so please use something else, like Devhost or whatever. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Goo.im is up and down for me, so an alternative would be great. Here's a Mega mirror.

Alternative: Dev-Host

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CHINEZU097:
Hello!

I want to instal parandroid on my z ultra c6833. I am on 757 version

I read your instructions and i think they are bad because if i do factory reset after rom flash, i will brick my phone. Thats only my oppinion. If it is bad please tell me.

Secondly, i try to instal the rom with this instructions

1. update to latest FTF (757)

2. Copy ROM to external sdcard

3. Flash boot.img with flashtool or fastboot

4. Wipe /data and both caches (I have a feeling only /data is needed) (factory reset)

5. Flash ROM

6. Flash Gapps

7. su should be included so reboot

So i do next steps:

Flash 757 ftf to erase anithink

Power up device

Copy rom and gapps on sd card

Stop device

Flash boot.img(file whitch is in your last zip)

Power up the device and it frozen.

I was scary

I reflashet jackyes kernel.

My question is next:

Can i instal rom with all its benefits with jackyes kernel?

On my [q]thread, somedoby told my that your kernel is incompatible with 757 so please tell my which version should i use or give me a link with the kernel for that version.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Will tablet mode ever come back to pa
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CHINEZU097:
I want to ask the same thing.

In z ultra presentation(pa ROM) I saw that there is a setting which let me to chose between phablet, tablet, and another interface. How can I access that setting?

And in the same video I saw that in settings menu is a second menu which can be access by slide from left to right. I can't access it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CHINEZU097:
I try to copy my phone numbers from sim to phone and it dont see them. What can i do?

To rewrite manualy them is not an option
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
no jackies kernel will not boot this ROM, but it should work to install the ROM

no I did not say the PA kernel is incompatible with 757 I said /system (meaning it wont boot 757 but you will need to be on 757 (or another 4.4 Sony FTF) to to get PA to work)

No factory reset wont 'brick' your phone

Just follow the instructions here or in your other thread that I posted, oh and make sure your bootloader is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CHINEZU097:
I instal rom with jackies kernel and it work. Now i use this rom with jackies kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You won't be using jackie's kernel as it was over written when you flashed the ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adx_x:
when the screen rotated the horizontal direction,the Pie controls (turning on immersive mode) doesn't show on the bottom of the screen,it show on left or right.Can fix it always show on the bottom whatever the screen vertical or horizontal?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] beerbong:
Nothing to fix. It's been working like that since 4.4B1
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kierless:
Umm any reason why I don't have any data connection at all? I flashed everything again and do a second factory reset after I used it for a day and didn't realize that I couldn't get any connections once I left my home WiFi. I checked the APN and it seems to be fine. I'm wondering if its Paranoid?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jrob2k:
Awesome! i've been waiting for this PIE change! If you prefer it at the bottom when in landscape you can drag it to the bottom by sliding your finger past the home button and to the new anchor point.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
Following many trial and error exercises, I found the following procedure to be the safest and most effective way to setup the ROM smoothly. I hope it helps all. It certainly does the trick for me even though my personalised PA ROM now stands at 682MB and the GApps at 236MB.

PREREQUISITES: The ROM File, GApps File and the CM11 Recovery (I also used jackie99's dual recovery but CM11 is strongly preferred)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. CAUTION!! Move ROM Files to Internal Memory ONLY!

2. POWER OFF THE PHONE

3. HOLD VOL+ AND PLUG USB TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT (BLUE LED)

4. [fastboot flash boot boot.img] (From AOSPA/CM11 Zip) using FlashTool/64

5. [fastboot reboot]

6. ENTER RECOVERY, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+

7. WIPE SYTEM/DATA, CACHE & DALVIK CACHE

8. INSTALL ROM via RECOVERY

9. WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE whilst inside the Recovery and REBOOT! and setup using the Setup Wizard on first boot (if you get a Setup Wizard but if you don't no worries just let the ROM settle)

GO BACK INTO RECOVERY Via Step 3

10. INSTALL GAPPs via Recovery

11. WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE whilst inside the Recovery and REBOOT!

OPTIONAL: To make your speaker, call and other volume levels louder (It is awesome and you will notice the difference)

Install via Recovery: Volume Boost-KK CM11 XZ1.zip and DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!

Ohhh never mind. I got it to work now. I reinstalled everything. And used the Ipv6, and got my service back. Thanks!!

It may be a stable build of the OS, but they haven't added any of their features or any other customization options to it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ukjm2k:
My first custom ROM on ZU.

I have two issues:

1. The 3 buttons for navigation (Back, Home and Recent) are too far apart from each other, like a tablet.

Also when I press and hold home to launch Google Now, the button to swipe up to mis-aligned to the right.

Is this a bug to be addressed or is there a setting to change within the ROM that I have not come across.

2. I flashed the ROM as per OP, but I have lost my dual custom recovery setup from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714511

Can I just flastboot flash this kernel again over the top, or is it not compatible?

Do I need to stick with the recovery package for this ROM as a I prefer TWRP touch recovery.

Other than that, very impressed with ROM!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
download the PA Rom, dont extract just use 7zip to open archive, drag and drop the boot.img file in desktop flash it using adb (make sure adb is installed) after that go to recovery flash the rom and wait till success then reboot again in recovery install the gapps.. enjoy!

Can i flash this on top of my monx using doom kernel? I noticed that the zip has boot.img so it will replace my kernel? Thanks for the answer
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Yes you can flash it.

Doom kernel don't flash anything, it's only the recovery built in who do this.

Your kernel will be replaced, you can't use the same kernel for stock based and AOSP based ROMs.

Watch Pimped or Slimkat kernel if compatible and the PA it's not good for you.

Steps:

Copy ROM and PA Gapps on the phone ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 )

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER !

Extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it before flashing the ROM ( or find other boot.img or *.zip package with 4.4.x AOSP kernel built in)

Flash ROM and flash PA Gapps. With old 4.3 releases of differents ROMs some users prefer flashing GAPPS after the first ROM boot, I don't know for now.

Flashtool will help for all...

EDIT:

Backup all like habitually.

Google Play: Backup your mobile do all.

Nandroid backup.

Titanium suck for this.
