Awesome.... I am having issues getting the flashboot driver installed. It won't seem to install it for whatever reason...

Does the notification light work in the latest build? I thought that was the only thing that wasn't working...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] clubtech:
Is the signal bar being stuck at two bars all the time fixed in the nightly build?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
Rooting

I would love to apply this ROM to my C6806 but I have always been using VRoot to root my phone. If I backup the TA partition (which I have) and unlocked the bootloader, will it be possible to put my device back to it's original stock configuration (stock ROM, locked bootloader, TA intact) for warranty purposes?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
yes just KEEP your TA backup safe, backup your TA backup on a usb stick, on a CD, in the cloud....just keep it safe and you'll be fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
yeah the tool specifically made for backing up your TA says that when you restore, it relocks the bootloader as if it were never unlocked. so this means that Sony wouldn't even be able to tell? although i bet if you use the Sony unlock, they have a record of sending the unlock code for your device IMEI. i guess using Flashtool to unlock would bypass this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Offical build 2013029

1) Always 2 bars.

2) Graphic glitch in contacts menu.

3) High touch sensitivity like on old stock roms (I guess we got old drivers from first sony source)

Screenshot of battery life.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
Thanks for testing, I'll wait until the problems are fixed before i switch to CyanogenMod

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
What up?

Notice how humongous the app drawer icons are :p It's a complete mess in there, but god damn it it's smooth and really really nice. And yes, that's the new Hangouts app with SMS/MMS

Edit: huh, so I uploaded another 3 screenshots of the new launcher, but they decided to disappear?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Homescreen
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
You mean you are on Kit Kat with the XZU?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, i work at Google so I had a little side project. No, I do not have Kit Kat running, it's the Kit Kat launcher (You can find it in the themes and apps section). It works pretty well, but as you can see, the app drawer icons are huge. ParanoidAndroid's Kit Kat build is out, but that's only for the Nexus 4, or whatever the "Mako" is. I bet we'll have it in a matter of days or maybe a week or two.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
Cool. You had me excited for a little while.

For anyone who is interested I have the CyanogenMod latest build and it seems to work good. Like avetny said the Data icon doesn't show full strength. I never had an issue with Contacts on the other builds but the screen sensitivity seems to be resolved in this build (20131031).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
cool, thanks for the report! how is Wi-Fi working? i read before that it seemed unstable and weaker than stock, on the first cm builds. Wi-Fi is actually more important to me than mobile network
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
CM might report weaker Wifi reception, but that doesn't mean that the signal is weaker. It might only be a bug in CM. So you might have full reception but the software reports under that.

This is of course just speculation, so yeah..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
hehe, true that. i think that might be the case for mobile data signal for past and present devices on cm
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
True. My WiFi and LTE work great. The LTE icon show low but it's definitely working at full strength. The WiFi bars work fine and maybe once a day I may have to restart my phone to get WiFi to work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
M1 builds now available. Are supposed to be more stable I assume.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] f2:
Should not all the major bugs be eliminated in a M release?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
I think it's considered more in between nightly and final.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
I'm having issues with WiFi more than the past versions. And the Data icon is still off with this M1 release.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
M1 stands for "Milestone 1". It should be a little more stable than nightlies, but it's not close to RC status.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
thanks a bunch for the reports, I'm gonna have to flash it at some point here, tho it's a bummer if wifi is unstable.

if you don't mind me asking, how does the ROM scale up to the screen size on this beast, visually? i had to do some fiddling with dpi and font size on stock to get it to where i personally liked it.

but again, i will unlock and flash one of these days soon probably... i promise :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
WiFi seems to be fine now. I think it was my router. I rebooted the router and all seems fine.

The screen seems the same as the stock screen dpi but I can't be 100% sure. I am happy with the default dpi settings.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aungkhaingoo:
Only for unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
Data icon now is fixed after today's experimental ROM update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
I haven't seemed to have any issue with wifi on any of the releases so far. It might be a little less strength, but I never have issues with it not connecting or randomly disconnecting that I know off.

The only issue I have is with bluetooth. With the Sony rom I would leave bluetooth on all the time, when I got in my car and turned the car on the radio would connect up. With the latest M1 release I have to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on for it to connect. I started first on the 10/30 CM build and that one seemed to work fine. I moved from there to M1 and that's when I noticed the bluetooth issue.

The latest experimental version I think is only to add the 3g signal bar fix?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
That's the only visual thing I can see in the update. I now get the LTE bars properly. I will test my bluetooth switching to my car from my Sony bluetooth device and see if the same happens to me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
I finally unlocked and flashed the 11/04 nightly, and I'm glad i did! Good ol' CM! Everything is working well so far, haven't had any signal issues of any kind, phone calls have been fine, and of course it's smooth and lagfree. No regrets at all, quite the opposite..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
I'm happy as well. The only issue I am having is that my car bluetooth keeps failing to dial a number when I issue a say command. I have to manually select my contact from the screen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
I figured out what the bluetooth issue was...

There are 2 different sets of bluetooth services running. One is called Bluetooth Share and has 8 services, the other is called org.codeaurora.bluetooth and has 2 services.

When I exit my car after using bluetooth the Bluetooth Share services exit after a few hours. Maybe they crash or something....

But this is why it won't connect a second time without me toggling bluetooth off and on again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
There are 2 official nightlies both dated 11/07. The more recent one shows as 17 MB smaller than usual :confused:

Does anyone know the best place to check commits and changelogs for Togari? Every place i look doesn't have our device on the list
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
I updated to the final (smaller) version and it seems fine. They removed more wallpapers, that's why it's smaller (which is good for me).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
The best place to see the changelog is to touch the files in Settings -> About Phone -> Cyanogenmod Updates. After I do a refresh I just touch the latest entry and it will tell me the changes and I can decide if I want to upgrade or not.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
ooh that's right !!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Changelog also available here:

http://10.2.cmxlog.com/#

Search on the page for "togari" for the latest XZU specific changes. The last one was the HW overlay which fixed the signal indicator. No wifi stability fix as of yet - think everyone is busy building 4.4 :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vanadium101:
Or go to the model specific page

http://10.2.cmxlog.com/?device=togari
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
Ooh, a wifi fix. There is still a minor minor visual glitch in portrait mode in the phone app when you view contacts. But, definitely happy with the ROM thus far!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Think its for a different wifi problem though. Its not a XZU specific fix but for the whole of 10.2. I think the wifi issue is XZU/?Z1 specific?

Care to try and report back?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
ah, could be,. my wifi has actually worked quite fine since i flashed CM nightly a few days ago. i have no complaints at all. it stays connected, and when i go out of range of one network, it picks up the next one, and that's pretty much all i need it to do. still working ok here. if you have any specific action to test, let me know.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
thank you !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
CM11 is almost here for the Ultra. It says it's currently being tested, but i guess they'll post the download link soon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
So the nightlies are running great. The only thing is I'm not getting as good battery life as on stock, but it isn't too bad, a full charge still lasts me thru the day.

Cpu spy is showing plenty of deep sleep overnight, but 300 mhz isn't too far behind. BBS shows PowerManagerService as the top kernel wakelock, and Nip- related stuff(which looks to be tied to Google Play services) as the top partial wakelocks. I googled around but not sure if anything can be done by the user.

All in all happy with the ROM tho, it's smooth and fast.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
has anyone flashed the 11/29, nightly? i was having full-on wakelock on the last one, 11/27. no deep sleep at all. anyone else seeing that too?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Im on it when my device is charged. I used my device the whole day so I can't really say if I had any wakelocks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] boterkaaseneieren:
No but you can always see if you have deep sleep.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
can you see this in the built in battery monitor in the settings app? I did not have gsam nor betterBatterystats installed
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
cpu spy was showing no deep sleep, better battery stats was showing kernel and partial wakeloocks, and my batery was draining fast. i didn't write the exact wakelocks down but it was similar to what i posted a few posts back.

i don't think the device will show deep sleep when it is charging. never seems to anway
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Well...its the RILJ causing the wakelock and no deep sleep if I look inside BetterBatteryStats. Somehow I unplugged my phone in the sleep a few hours ago an it has already lost 7% battery on the lastest CM stable release.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
I had issues like this on a few nightlies, What I would do is reboot to recovery and wipe the cache and dalivk cache.

Give that a try if the battery seems to dip pretty fast.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
does that fix it for you? i don't know if it's worth mentioning the manner in which we all update our nightlies? i switched back to stock for now, but i had been installing the nightlies thru the CM Updater in settings.... it would reboot into recovery, but it would look more like stock recovery than CWM, it would reboot and say 'Android is upgrading', i think, and then would boot into the system, and i never had to flash Gapps. Could this be in any way causing issues? Or is the CM updater a tried and true method by now..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
I have always done my updates through the cm updater, so I am not doing a fresh install each time. clearing the caches does work for me. My phone now goes into deep sleep and the battery life is normal. I probably only lose 6% to 8% battery overnight.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
CM Updater is solid as a rock, and you only flash gapps once (the first time).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
yep, RILJ. do you know much about this? i see a good amount of posts about it, and people seem to think it's related to Google location services. it also seems to be a function of telephony? i haven't seen a definitive fix, other than turning of Google location services, freezing Maps, etc., and even these may not do it. and it doesn't seem to be a big issue on stock.

edit: i did wipe cache and dalvik cache, and i do get some deep sleep i think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I just checked and I have 5h of deep sleep so I think this only happens sometimes and not everyday.

My biggest wakelock now is EntriesRefresh_wakelock it has to do with google now and It's no biggie as I activated google now the other day

RILJ is down to only 9min today so that's quite good.

Yes it has to do with the radio.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
I'm on the stable build of CM 10.2 now and I still have issues with the Wifi and the Bluetooth randomly disconnecting.

Are you guys still seeing these issues too? Or should I try to do flash the stable build from scratch?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Reflash from scratch to be sure. I dirtyflashed the stable but I didn't have any issues to begin with :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
CM has moved on to CM11 now, so I guess they just put a "Stable" sticker on CM10.2 and called it a day. This is nothing new.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
Yeah, that's fine with me, I'm waiting for CM11. Part of the reason I haven't bothered a fresh flash, I'll just deal with the Wifi until CM11 arrives which shouldn't be too long i'm guessing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
What a depressing sight :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
Yeah, it might not make us feel any better, but they did say they were starting with Nexus devices. (Saw them post it on G+ i believe?) Or have others gotten it already too?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, the One, S4 and the Z has gotten it believe. I don't really care thought. We'll get it when we'll get it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
Ah ok yeah, soon enough we will probably. And 10.2 is damn solid in the meantime
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well, looks like every single Sony device out there has CM11 now except for Z1 and Ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jasonyu007:
Too bad,I hope zu rolled out too
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
I put CM11 Android 4.4.1 on my Nexus 4. Definitely an improved OS. I'd like to put 4.4 my Sony Xperia Z Ultra as well but it's a no go now and I see one developer working on an ASOP version. So sad such a great phone gets the short end of the stick from the development community. Just not enough owners to get their attention.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, but i knew what i was getting into by buying a niche device. If I wanted quick releases and all that, I would've gotten a Nexus or Samsung, and I guess it's the same for most people here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Sure. that's what I think about when deciding to buy a Z ultra. I am a happy flasher, love to try every single rom for my device(s). I got my former note mk.I flashed with many kind of custom roms available but at the end I am back to the ICS build which I think that is the best build until I sold it to get the ZU.

I've got my wife's Nexus 4 Officially 'KitKated', also had a S2 with custom kitkat on it. There is more than enough to fulfilled my curiosity of kitkat performance, and I can fulfill the flashing-hobby with the S2.. haha

As for the ZU, I am stick with CM10.2 now as it is preety stable since the latest nightlies. Will Consider to back to stock when 4.3 officially released by sony : )
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
I just picked up the z ultra and updated the firmware so i've gotta work on the root now... But what can you tell me about the latest cm 10.2 nightlies? Does everything work perfectly? Or do you need to make some concessions?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Personally I am happy with with cm10.2, the only thing I missed from stock rom was only the 'screenshoot-miniapps'.

do it with your own risk : )

if you want real nightly (I said this because it is almost everyday they update it) you can go here:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
Wow! Thanks for the info! Are these the same steps for the nightlies install? Where do I get the gapps for that?

What I meant before was, do you notice gps, issues, mobile data not as good, bluetooth not as good?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
I remember I got 10.2 gapps from here (via: goo.im) but this gapps not work for me with 'codename lungo rom':

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

other than 'codename lungo' installation, nightlies installation is simple:

depending your firmware version, you can get the CWM recovery here (for .510 and .526):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426736

or for rooted .527 firmware from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426739

just to remind that CM10.2 is for unlocked bootloader.

after got the matched CMW recovery, download the ROM, gapps and put it in the external sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik, install rom, install gapps and it should be done..

gps lock fast, and there is no problem with mobile data or wi-fi so far, I don't use bluetooth often but I am sure it is no problem too.

Ive been trying for days to install GRAVITON on my cell

which is a Samsung s4, m919v, with baseband M919VVLUAMG1

i installed a custom recovery (philz_touch_5.18.2-jfltetmo.tar) successfully.

the actual files found in graviton tread seems to be for a i337,

i flashed it anyways, and basycally found myself with a device with no working antenna, so uselesss.

i reinstalled stock firmware throught kies,

ive searched all around the website, with no success, unable to find a way to root MY device (M919VVLUAMG1) and install GRAVITON (even if it says that it is compatible with m919 (not v...but i guess thats for videotron)

ive got some experience into rooting samsung s2 hd lte(bell) so im not a total beginner

but now, im totally lost with this s4, cant seem to find the correct procedure for my specific mode.

I'm with videotron, rooting is different as far as i understand, not even sure i can root it.

any type of help would be appreciated,

basycally im looking for a step by step guide on how to root and flash a rom on this specific model

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vedhed21:
Hello gang,

I can't post in the developer's thread cause I'm a noob, but I've flashed the ROM and its amazing. Many thanks to all the devs. I have a question though. Goo Manager is telling me there's an update for my rom, but it only says its a cyanogen update (cm-10.1.3-jfltetmo.zip). Is this an actual Pacman update or is it just reading my rom as a Cyanogen build?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingVeto:
There are nightlies available...

http://www.pac-rom.com/ota/getPAC.php?type=nightly

There is also a message board for PAC on here...but I think goo is reading the base of your PAC rom and saying there's an update available based on that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vedhed21:
Thanks, King Vito. I'll check the nightlies. Probably the pac-jtfletmo just like the Cyanogen built for my i9505.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simplelife1988:
as we know,note3's new S PEN is interesting.but in floating pen window just display some samsung' app.

if we wanna "FLOAT" some other app,we need the app's AndroidManifest.xml contain the right signature.

and,there is a 3rd app:"Pen window Manager",it makes all app avilibale by writing others.xml or features.xml.

OK.forgive me my balabala...

in services.jar,a method controls that if an app is in white-list.

com/android/server/am/MultiWindowManagerService.smali

SEARCH THIS:

.method public isSupportScaleApp(Landroid/content/pm/ActivityInfo;)Z

AND CHANGE ITS BODY LIKE THIS:

const/4 v0, 0x1

return v0

make all app be Supportted.

in the end,forgive me my poor english.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Luycks:
Nice! Maybe you can make an Xposed module to do just this (hook into this method and always return 0), then the tweak won't disappear after every rom update!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simplelife1988:
aha,xposed is a very strong module to mod our rom.

and i can make a little app to make "return 1",but if i do that,it is not "WITHOUT 3rd app"

somebody please make a step by step tutorial for this MOD. thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KBJ911:
root required ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Found it in

Services / Framework

Was hoping to try and mod it by exporting it with 'Mobilego' which was a success.

However, I'm not sure what I need to edit the Services.jar file? as Notepad++ just brings across garbage.

Just so you know, I'm NOT rooted, but 'Mobilego' let's you go into the root directory, my thoughts were, I could alter the file, re-import it and reboot and it should work?

Edit: I've opened it with 7zip and tried to mod the file, but I can't find a program to open the unzipped document properly, can someone mod my attached services.jar and re-upload to the thread? I will then add it back to my phone to see if it works :)

Please let me know if this is what you mean....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Yes, Mobilego let's me export files from my root directory.

I'm not sure about importing yet as I want to change the file first.

My phone is not rooted so if this works it will be excellent news.

We can mod our phones to some degree without root, we'll just be changing system files and the phone will think the software is standard.

Can someone help me..how to proper done this mode.i just root my device..install es file explore..then what next..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dr.ketan:
You needs modding skill

It can't be done with just Notepad.

1.first deodex service.jar if your ROM is odexed (stock)

2.Decompile service.jar

3.look for smali folder and then follow guides from OP

4.Recompile

5.Replace service.jar to your ROM.

again note that if your ROM is odexed then you have to reodex service.jar before pushing.

Edit : I have tested, it's working.
