Same to me. The KEYBOARD bug still remains. I tried to change DPI from default to 480 then to 320 but the ANDROID KEYBOARD still shows when i press home buttom to return desktop.

I've installed the rom first wiping all data/factory reset through recovery and flashing rom and SU.

I've notice that this rom is a little bit slower than my previously rom (RomAur9.1), but with seeder app, some lags seems to be disappeared. I was on doomkernel v19 too, so also cpu was setted for better performance. We will wait some cpu tweaks...

Great job !
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
You son change to 320. Leave it back at 480.
[Xperia Z Android Development] nickfee:
This is not a terrible bug, i prefer a better display resolution, 480dpi makes the icons huge in my case.
[Xperia Z Android Development] marceldossantos91:
important question

hi. maybe im missing something here - but i see that what makes gnome rom so special is the xposed framework right? i do not have this in the 4.4 version of it (not sounding ungreatful) but does anyone else have this issue? (though i installed it manually its fine)

also the included "halo" and "pie" is none existant.

this looks absolutely no different from pabx's google play stock rom and have no other features further than it either other than plain AOSP.

also chrome FC's without any errors (which isnt so bothersome for me i restored my AOSP browser from another rom)

is this just me?

i do understand this is very new and probably will have bugs just disapointing to see what made this rom special isnt included.

thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Wait... Exposed works on 4.4? It was special until Monx and a few others required me to remove it all. But if you are saying Xposed works on 4.4 then hold that thought because all the features are coming back

Use v2.1 for all gnome settings
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
I'm going to bed now I'll upload V3.2 tomorrow which should fix all bugs reported so far.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tijmen:
No rash decisions, just rational decisions. ROM's built from source are never allowed to include the gapps, so I've removed the download links. If you add the gapps as a separate zip, or (what I'd advise) link to the ParanoidAndroid gapps everything is fine again.

Here's a link to the torrent in my Dropbox, because I'm such a nice guy. ;)

[MENTION=4111662]gangsterjoop[/MENTION], Can you just delete the ROM thread. Not close but delete. I will just collab with Pabx

Thanks Putin
[Xperia Z Android Development] schoolsux:
Nice work :)

Will try it out right away. If i fancy the rom I will help seeding the torrent with 100Mbit upload speed for some time :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
can i use Xperia camera if i want?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Don't think it will work because of framework differences between stock Sony FW and AOSP 4.4 :/
[Xperia Z Android Development] EmeraldTimer:
As i thought :crying: im going to try this rom, btw
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
You can always try with moving Sony camera related .apks to /system/apps and give 0644 permissions. If it gives you any trouble - reflash stock FTF with Flashtool and then flash this ROM again..
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
It wont work for sure, AOSP isn't compatible with manufacturer dependent applications
[Xperia Z Android Development] marjaN_:
me, installed just fine (clean install, flashed zips & fastboot boot.img after). one question, new launcher from google is not included (transparent one)?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Xanathoscl:
im stock 4.1.2 again...
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Screenshot please
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yeah you've done it wrong but oh well
[Xperia Z Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Version 1.0 already has Gapps included??
[Xperia Z Android Development] marjaN_:
here you go.

edit: have also FC on LMT & Gravity Box doesn't work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] 23Six:
OP it seems you included the gapps? I'm not sure but I don't think this is allowed, just looking out for ya ;)

Backing up my 4.3 atm so I can flash
[Xperia Z Android Development] ex19961996:
why no transparence on the soft keys and status bar? i have trayed this rom and the other in original development but no one have all the launcher features of 4.4...how i can turn it on?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
You have to activate Xposed framework first :P. Also ill add a flashable zip now for launcher. Transparent bars also coming
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
What is this about GAPPS?
[Xperia Z Android Development] marjaN_:
ofc i activated Xposed! :) thank you!
[Xperia Z Android Development] magikmichael:
Only for unlocked bootloader i guess?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
[MENTION=3226962]marjaN_[/MENTION] Android 4.4 Launcher is on Post 2. Enjoy. Let me know what else I have missed so I can add in next build

[Xperia Z Android Development] marjaN_:
[MENTION=4962997]StarFighter[/MENTION] now there is proper 4.4 launcher. maybe add lockscreen transparency (more nexusish) & new hangout app.
[Xperia Z Android Development] coycoycoy:
gravitybox

when running gravitybox, it still shows "gravitybox system framework not responding. exiting." even after enabling the xposed framework. any ideas on this matter? thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Doing now. Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] ex19961996:
navigation keys in lock screen are not transparent...you have to improve launcher smoothness,add photosphere,add battery percentage,add better music player and most important i can t read the sd card from the phone (i don't know if is only my problem)

and thank you for all your time you give to us :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Try to copy all the content of the sd-card to your PC, download and use SD formatter to clean up the card, put the empty card and make it recognise it, then copy the files back to your sd-card and it could work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MattJaO3D:
Is kernel built in or can we flash meow kernel, btw looking forward to testing this, my mates gonna be so jealous lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Smooth ROM. Running smooth and looking forward to future updates.

Is it possible for the boot animation to be the Google experience one? It is Nexus for now.

Also phone dialer icon seems not to be the new one but the app itself is.

Thanks for the awesome work. Appreciate.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Xanathoscl:
now I get this, try running the boot.img because it only stays in the logo of sony, I run well but still remains in the logo ... I did something wrong??

Thx for reply, has it got recovery, soz for Noob question
[Xperia Z Android Development] andymk2:
This look like I got some problems on it, can anyone give me a hand?

Here is my installation step:

1. already unlocked the bootloader

2. using CWM recovery 6.0.3.7

3. wipe data & cache

4. install Gnome zip file

5. install supersu zip file

6. reboot

I can pass though the Sony logo but have a infinity loading at Nexus boot animation, i also try flash boot.img before i get into CWM. Is there any step I wrong?:confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Flash boot.IMG again now
[Xperia Z Android Development] andymk2:
Thanks, I will try this again later because this is out of battery now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
New version uploading. Adding changelog

Edit - Transparency status bar will not work because VTS doesn't support KitKat 4.4 so how can I edit it. Also neither does GravityBox support 4.4 so you are stuck with solid nav keys until GB or VTS can support 4.4
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Noticed problems reading sdcard. Better said, doesnt Mount. Is that fixed in this New Version? Regards :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:

[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

Oh OK. Well also can't install superuser so i can't use xposed.

Can't recover contacts either!

Willing to test as much as you like! ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
It is uploading now. Flash SuperSU in recovery. Move your .VCF file from SD to Internal if that is the problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Little laggy for me....

But this is a really good base to work with....

I have lot of problem with ROOT...seems impossible for me to get root access
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Tried via recovery. Tells me its a Bad file and aborts!
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Have you flashed SuperSU in recovery after ROM install?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Redownload it. It may have got corrupt. This is ChainFire's SU. It will work
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Tried that. Twice to be exact. Always aborts and says its a Bad file
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
yeah...but problem is here...

i'l try a fresh istall
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
ChainFire im disappointed! Ill look for alternatives hang on.
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Thanks star!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Ok.....fresh istall (with format system and other stuff) and now root work...

BTW still laggy (probably due to embrional kernel without tweaks?)

let me explain, i don't have lag but the entire UI it's not smooth
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Ill try the same! Edit: no difference after fresh install
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:

[Xperia Z Android Development] tjackbjorn:
So the navbar in homescreen wont be transparent?

And to those who tried this one out, is it smoother than pabx? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dasprot:
it is transparent and it seems smoother.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjackbjorn:
Where are the ''non transparent'' StarFighter talks about then? The lockscreen?
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
Just a question... Is Xposed really working? As I understand, it would need some major changes to work on KK...
[Xperia Z Android Development] slim207rc:
Whats missing is a working superuser. Then we could just try out ourselves!
[Xperia Z Android Development] kopap:

[Xperia Z Android Development] haynesteve:
No problems with supersu here, however Google calendar seems to have disappeared from sync - tried installing 4.4 gapps but still no joy.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Reboot your phone. Calendar isn't kicking in
[Xperia Z Android Development] haynesteve:
Tried rebooting. Got it now by installing Google calendar from Playstore

Otherwise looking fantastic.
[Xperia Z Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Lags when going in and out of app drawer and when quitting apps to the homescreen.

Otherwise, this is a good ROM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] AndroPlus:
Android 4.4 is not compatible with Xposed yet.

[Xperia Z Android Development] monx®:
this rom is great.

so far what i've found :

1-LMT, xposed fwork & modules are not working, better exclude them for pure AOSP

2-Calendar is not working

3-Lag is significant

4-Reboot to recovery doesnt work

Good job!!! :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yes it is for experienced users. You cannot copy framework res manually as that needs to be in a flashable zip due it replacing an application which runs constantly. How can you replace it when the phone is on and it is being used? It needs to be flashed via recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Thank you Monx. Yes these applications do not support 4.4 so I will remove them. Calendar will have to be redownloaded from Play Store for it to work.

Thank you again for trying
[Xperia Z Android Development] schoolsux:
Hello again!

As mentioned earlier the xposed etc. don't work. If I were you I would remove ALL of this and try to make the best AOSP experience, which is also mentioned earlier :D

Also I can't understand why you'd like to have the old crappy GINGERBREAD music application included... Google Music anyone? ;)

This is just my opinions, no offence! Good work with rom so far.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Isn't Google Music app in there?

[Xperia Z Android Development] schoolsux:
Maybie in your new rom version, haven't tried it yet ;)

I apologize cuz I understand why some apps can't be included now. For example Hangouts and Chrome are not open source and can therefore not be included in AOSP.

KitKat is way more restricted than ICS was. Tell me if I'm wrong... :)

Thanks for your help, StarFighter. Finally I got my XZ to 4.4 in v2.1, and here is my using experience:

1. 4.5 hours non-stop music playing with flac format + network exploring via 4G LTE connection (far away from home:crying:), battery still have 30%, Great!!

2. Little laggy when playing flac music with Play Music app (no build in Play Music app in v2.1 so I install it from Google Play store:D)

3. Sometimes clock app FC (after I FS it in apps manager, FC message haven't show again...)

4. Can't access all music & photo files which are stored on ext_SD card

5. Also can't store any photos & videos on ext_SD card I take....

Suggestion for next build:

1. build in Play Music app

2. build in Google Map

3. lock screen, Home & app drawer support landscape when put on docking.....(wishlist, cos I have a charging dock:p)

This rom is great & stable, I can't believe that I can use 4.4 on my XZ so fast, great job, thanks again!!

Finally, sorry for my bad English :D
