1. Full screen? No.. Images are smaller but alignment for photos is full screen lije stock.. May be it needs to be fixed.. Images that come through fb sync are small like thumbnails.. Even in top contact widgets, the images are blur.. I think it should be given a look into.

2. No lag whatsoever in dialer/contacts here.

3. Doomlord's method is safest and perfect way of rooting. That way busybox is installed properly and u can flash any other custom rom easily without worries. I tried other rooting methods and they all failed to get me recovery when i was in lb..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] topuji:
Thanks for the help. For smaller photo though, I have experienced same in stock also, I think you need to have high res photos for that. Default fb sync doesn't work. Have you used haxsync for this? Or any contact photo directly assigned by you? That should definitely come in full screen?

Another query from my previous post, repeating here:

Does DoomLord rooting method require data to be wiped (i.e. fresh install)? If yes, what is the best way to take a backup (like Titanium backup) ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
FYI, I use haxsync and never have small contact picture image, always full screen :D

You guys should try it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] topuji:
Thanks, that answers my query, that the incoming call screen is not changed at all from stock :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
yes

but our stock still nice though, I liked it that way :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] topuji:
Yeah, same for me. Actually the question should have been "please tell me it is not changed!!" :D

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Since you have been kind enough replying to my silly enough questions, can you tell me whether I will lose data if I just root using DoomLord method, and if I install CWM recovery? :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
Do you have an locked bootloader?

No, doomlord method won't wipe your data as long as you followed the instruction correctly

if you have unlocked bootloader just flash doomkernel v6, it's amazing
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] topuji:
Currently I am on stock. 96. I want to perform the following:

Root using doomlord method.

Install cwm recovery.

Unlock bootloader.

Install doom kernel v6.

Flash existenz ultra 1.3.5.

Can you please guide me with this? I have links for some if the above, but having it all together will be of great help for me and other noobs, I think.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:

you can search it though, it's all documented in our XS forum
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rampage2020:
Some times (actually it happened 3 to 5 times) I am getting stuck at the boot animation after rebooting and the only solution is to wipe data. Is anyone experiencing the same?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ernie100ya:
I did; and not only on this rom.

I didn't know what's really wrong; but after I uninstalled Greenify, it never happen again.

I'm not saying greenify has problem but this way really worked for me.

For your reference.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rampage2020:
Yes I also have installed greenify. Did u also hibernate system apps if so could you list them out so that I can fifd out the common app which causes bootloop

Im testing about 2 days of usage, Im glad to come back again to eXistenZ my first ROM, im comming from trinity 4.1 and this ROM Its absolutely awesome Niaboc, i give my feedback soo soon but is just to report 2 little bugs i find out, (I think they are bugs)

When i play music in my sony bluetooth hearphones and stop I found that the External Speaker doesn't work, all the sounds and notifications cames trough the internal speaker until I Reboot and work propertly

other bug i think i found its in quick setting notification bar FC

I like the desing that u made in this ROM Niaboc and i think is very stable and smoother, i got no redraws (no one) in Stock launcher, first time i say that haha, the only that i want to ask its about the performance and kernels, what kernel u think its the most compatible with your rom, when i flash Doorm kernel my wifi settings crash and dont work even i flash the modules.

Your Rom its very impressive, until now i got no bad reviews just the bluethooth bug because i mostly play music

Need help updating

Thanks for the ROM, it's great! But I needed help updating as OTA doesn't work :( It just loads for a while and then goes off! I found this zip file on pg.101, do I just flash it over the existing rom?

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Just flash that zip and wipe dalvik after that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], one question: Did you changed the touch sounds for the UI and the lock/unlock ones compared to .96 stock? They seem to have a higher pitch, while still being the same... It's subtle, but noticeable... I like it... :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
All sounds are from Honami ;)

how come mine doesnt update after the OTA reboot?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
When it reboots, you have to go into the recovery and flash the zip that's in the sd card inside the ota update folder.

What about your new power toggles

You released it in apps n games section

Does it work on our XS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
That is made or the Z framework and SystemUI, which differs from ours. So, we gotta wait for him to port to XS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] slink722:
thanks for the new update niaboc. my battery improve a lot! :highfive: the only thing i dont like is the double tap for task switcher and the rest is PERFECT!!! once again thank you so much :victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JMCX10:
It's working on my SL, no problems. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shorinryu:
A note to everyone commenting on the double-tap to enable task switcher.......It is a default function by Sony changed in the .96 firmware and Niaboc79 did specifically state that it is a requirement for the Honami task switcher to work properly since that is the function it holds in the Xperia Z1 itself.

Changing it back to the old style of long-press to activate is unlikely to happen and unless I am mistaken quite difficult and time consuming. Not exactly a priority at all since Niaboc79 has brilliantly managed to port the working feature to this great ROM for the Xperia S/SL. :good:

A reference to a compatible Xposed Framework mod has been posted in this thread so please use that if it is really such a big deal :silly:

This is not to offend anyone just add some clarity I hope and return to specific development topics :)

Fantabulous ROM indeed

I have taken a leap of faith and installed ExistenZ (1.00 and then 1.3.5). Wonderful indeed. Thanks to all who have helped me in this thread. However, I am having the issue of the home icons (and the app drawer icons) disappearing after every boot (it wasn't happening in the beginning, after I restored Xperia Home data with TB, this problem started). Is there any permanent solution to this? Also, I sync my photos with Hax Sync. But after every boot, it is disappearing from accounts and sync option. Any clues?

Any help is highly appreciated. btw, thanks [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] for this wonderful ROM.

Forgot to mention another query .. how can I use any camera app to launch with the shutter button? Honami camera works only with the soft keys, FCs when shutter is used to launch it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
About the camera launch via camera key, it is yet to be fixed. There is a way though, search for it 10 pages back.. or may be more.. About xperia home, prev version had that bug.. recent version is proper hence if u restore home data from prev version, it is incompatible i guess.. U can always redesign ur homescreens.. ;)

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

@niaboc79 Is it possible to implement HDR feature to our stock camera?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] batman116:
I've already made a clean installation, I encountered FC when I tried to edit "Quick Settings" and the Status Bar disappear. Everything else is good, seem smooth as Niaboc Rom as always. I will give more feedbacks later :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] niaboc79:
Reboot and wipe cache and dalvik,

Let me know ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] denaz:
THANKS!

It's blazing fast now, and don't FC if launch camera from the lockscreen.

Good job!

It happens to me too but if u wait few seconds the bar reappear with the changes u've made.

The only issue i'm facing at the moment is about the grey squares instead of the icons of the apps installed on SD.

how to fix.. cant boot on recovery.. :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
First of all.. Amazing ROM.. The framework and theming is so neat and clean.. Its an amazing work i should say.. Worth waiting for so many days and once u install this ROM, you will be really happy and satisfied..

Loved,

1. Bootanimation is simply awesome.. Great work my friend.

2. ROM is smooth, even Settings slider stuttering is gone.

3. Loved Camera interface although it still needs more workaround. It can be a little more smooth in Camera Settings.

4. Nice to see OTA Updater.. [Still some doubt: Do we have to download the whole ROM when there is an update or just as a patch or fix??]

5. New themes are good.

No feature requests for now, i think u need some rest for now very badly.. ;)

And [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], thanks for your awesome work.. But yet again u missed a small thing, CWM recovery.. Not a big problem though, its alright.. Keep up the fantastic work mate.. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
About haxsync, there's a problem with 4.1, and a workaround apk in the playstore. Install the workaround and it should fix it. :)

Felt big lags in contacts and messaging, also album takes a lot longer to load then on Existenz v2, i guess i E v2 will be the rom that my phone will end its days with:)

This rom is great but the honami camera is too much of a hassle. I don't think it's worth having to be honest, it only offers useless gimmicks over the stock one and had no increase in quality.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The idea is to have a upgraded Z1 fw on our devices, and that's why the camera is there. There is no image quality increase because it uses the original S image algorithm, as it would be too hard to port it to us. And, the camera works fine here, if you know to launch it (it's a cool port, after all). You can flash the stock one of you don't want the Honami...

What kernel should be used, mine is not booting from fresh install? I guess i have open SEMC kernel, at least kernel splashscreen is .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
This is a stock bawed rom...so u shud use stock based kernel...like trinity or doomlord's
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
Ok, thanks, i guess doomlords it is, trinity messes up wifi, at least it did last time i used it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piyush95:
Select the fix permissions option in cwm/twrp just after installing trinity kernel... Wi-Fi will work....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lunatiic:
Trinity Kernel does not mess up with Wifi. I use TX-Core 5.9 since it released and I have a better performance than I had with DooMKernel v6. No reboots, no wifi problems, no lags. The only problems I face are when I activate ZRAM (the second core of the CPU keeps offline) and when I turn OFF bluetooth (the SIM card is "ejected" but recognized again after a few seconds), so I just don't touch ZRAM options and bluetooth bug doesn't bother me. Doomkernel has no bug but also doesn't have as much features such governors and i/o schedulers. I like TX-Core more because of the variety of governors/schedulers, newer linux version and more performance, but not as much battery friendly as doomkernel.

You have to chose what suits you better. I hate lags, I love performance and smoothness, and I don't care about battery at all... my device is always snappy and rarely lags.

And I love Trinity's kernel splash screen :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
Thanks for your opinions, i have tested with trinitys 6th kernel, first time wifi worked perfectly but camera just had black screen after taking first picture, second time it did not start at all. Then i tried rebooting but phone was stuck in warning triangle/reparation sign. Then i went into recovery and saw that i have recovery error cant mout cache/data system etc. Reinstalled the kernel and rom-no wifi, went into recovery to install T-core wifi modules-recovery error. I also had trinity 1 kernel on my sd, i flashed this one and rom and now it works, but camera is not available. So the conclusion is that i have had bad luck with trinity kernels, only 1 and 1.4 have worked for me so far. Maybe you could upload 5.9 if it works for you?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The problem with Trinity kernel is that it uses custom WiFi modules, and that can mess up if you change ROM or kernel. Tbh, I like much more the clean style of DoomKernel...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
Downloaded doomlorde, wifi works but camera not. Should i flash something else? Wiping data/cache of camera dont help.
