[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
LOL I am not that lost.

No I was reading the steps from the Lungo website but even after clicking on the Sony devices it gives those steps thus got me confused.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Follow instructions to the letter. Flash the boot.img from this rom then flash rom in recovery. As you are on stock going to a cm based rom you need to flash boot.img.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I have no lock with this stuff lately.

tried just flashing the ROM after the usual wiping part.

It restarted on its own just to get stuck on the Sony logo. No led comes up for me to get to recovery etc :/

PS. Ok so I do have to flash the boot image then? I guess that is why I am now stuck on the Sony logo after just doing the zip as told by the previous poster. Wonder if I can flash the image now of if its too late and I have to start all over.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
That's why you need flash boot.img from PA rom or this one first as stock kernel can't boot aosp or cm based Roms. Don't get confused. At point your at flash boot.img from rom zip of rom your trying to flash. Got a funny feeling your flashing stock boot.img not aosp or cm one. If PA take boot.img from zip
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Nope before I unzipped the image from PA and now will try with the one from this one just in case.

Lets see that happens...fingers crossed.

UPDATE:

Flashed it and once again stuck on the Sony logo. My device is anti aosp lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Not too late just flash boot.img now and should be OK. If not flash rom again in recovery. Remember use boot.img from rom.zip your trying to flash

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

OK hope all goes well. Boot.img from this zip or PA should work. Never flash from recovery of stock kernel remember that if your flashing aosp/cm based Roms.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
To clarify, I am using flashtool then selecting fastboot mode and connecting the device with VOL + and connecting to usb.

Then I click Select System To Flash and select the boot.image that I extracted from this CM10.2 rom

Then I click boot device to system or just disconnect it but once again just the sony logo.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Right now you flashed boot.img from PA or this rom go to recovery and wipe all. Also wipe internal sdcard and format system. I supposed you have microsd to backup your stuff. Then flash rom and gapps
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Is my process above correct? Because when I do that, I never get the led at the top that indicates when to release Power in order to press VOL+ to go to recovery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
This is what I did.

Flashed boot.img from fastboot using adb/fastboot tools or quick img app. You need put boot.img in fastboot folder before flashing. Once that's complete then go to recovery and flash rom again. I think flashtool isn't flashing kernel as I am sure you need to choose flash kernel option then change from sin to img then flash

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

To get recovery press power then phone will vibrate and Sony logo come on. Don't have to keep hold power. When led turns purple then hold volume up and recovery will pop up
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
No led ever comes up that is the problem.

So I should be clicking on select kernel to flash and select the boot image ?

I havent been doing that as I was following this youtube guide so maybe they are wrong or something although it seems to work during the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZCq0Bq4Bhs

He does add a note to use some kernel if you get stuck on a bootloop and at that time he does mention to use the select kernel to flash option.

So try the boot.img using select kernel to flash or try that kernel they mentioned are my options I guess.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551073 - quick img app to flash boot.img. put boot.img in images folder of app first. Launch app then you see boot.img top left box. Click on it to select then connect phone in fastboot mode. Then hit flash and done. When turn phone on wait for led to turn purple then press and hold volume up
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
You got it. That tool flashed it fine!

Time to roll now!

Thanks a ton!

To go back to Sony roms, just flash tool my way there, right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Yea now after switch on wait for purple led then hold volume up and it will turn yellow and recovery will load. Then wipe all and also format system in advanced options. Then flash rom and gapps then reboot. Should be fine. I just done same before so I know it works

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Yea or use the method from that .257 rom starting at step 6. Either way fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Cool. Lets see how I like this CM10.2 rom then and how performance is.

It has been a few nice days learning this new phone system. Thanks for all the help! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Cool man enjoy
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Personally I think this is the smoothest cm build here. And god I love the liteness of this rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
I agree. This is an awesome no bloat rom. Only have to uninstall calendar and messaging with this one, lol.

Would love a tablet ui tho :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
After 'failed' installing the ROM (got the setup wizard problem), I replaced the gapps with the one in the dev website. And I feel this is the smoother CM build so far, ultra lite and after 12 hours after flashing the battery usage is great with good deep sleep. thanks!!:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
U can use whatever 4.3 gapps u want. Trick is to install the rom then boot up, then reboot to recovery and install your gapps and reboot. I'm using a custom Clear gapps and that worked perfect for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Yes I followed dev's instruction below and it works like a charm! Like you said it just need to uninstall the calendar and messaging.. hahaha.. Thanks!

1) Make sure you have the latest CWM for your device

2) Download build for your device, place on SD card

3) Reboot into recovery

4) Wipe/factory reset.

5) Choose install ZIP from sdcard > Choose ZIP from external sdcard

6) Search the downloaded build and select it

7) Select YES!

8) If you are S-ON flash boot.img via adb fastboot with 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

9) Reboot

10) Flash Google Apps (from dev's add-on page)

11) Not Required: Flash Add-on Package

12) Reboot.. and done!

when could we have CM11 on ZU ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Think first we need a fully functional ROM on 4.4 then the rest will follow. Device files and vendor files are an issue right now hence the delays. Once the other 4.4 projects are fully build without errors then the same files can be used to build cm11
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
Does it need a base stock ROM like the GPe ROM?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yes, just like all the custom ROMs do
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
this used to be buried in the slimrom thread that vertigo ran a while back in original development forum if I remember correctly...(someone had posted a link)..could have been another thread like the fxp cm11 thread... remember going to this site...at least is getting some press now

Hello my mates.

We know full screen and immersive mode in Android is something that should have been already long ago. However since I never had buttons on screen never needed it. Now I bought my beautiful Nexus5 but I can't find any apps/game using them already...

So I wonder, except play books, is there any app or game using this features?

Playing games with on screen buttons and watching videos is just awful...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauriceheath:
Honestly don't know what the fuss about immersive mode is. Two video players have been able to play videos full screen, no home, back or recent apps buttons on screen for some time. They are Archos Video Player and MX Player. I have them both installed on all my devices and they play full screen on all of them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsweeting:
Yep - agreed. MX Player works great for full screen video.

Games are a fail though. I too would like "immersive mode" for gaming
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
What rom do you use? OR willing to use?

I wonder what roms are needed to keep runing. I hope this poll makes it clean what rom worth our time, what we should concentrate.

Thanks your vote.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] germa89:

Nobody had decent bug report. Hard to fix a feature what I've never used.

Fixed in 20131110, try it, and report back.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
It might create a lot of poll options, but perhaps you should ask which ROM people use, and also which ROM they wish/want to use. A single option could be phrased thusly:

Use LiteROM 0.9 / Want PAC-Man 4.3

Which would be my option, will vote from a PC later to cast my vote in the current poll.

I'm suggesting this because I think the majority here would like to use a different ROM, if only 'X' worked, or 'Y' wasn't unstable. Alternatively, the poll could just be about which ROM people want to use. Saves all the possible use/want combinations.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
Single vote serves me. We have 4 android 4.3 rom, and many 4.2. Too few people use glide to have that much roms. Users are fragmented. My cm-10.2 topic is full with useless posts. I have to waste time to confirm a bug, what should be done by others.

It's simple I wouldnt maintain a rom what's used less then 20 people.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lasuazo:
Used several

So, im currently on my 4th day using [PORT][ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.1.2]LiquidSmooth-JellyBean Glide by Ninthsense. So far I cant complain, i dont use BT or Voip services, so I really dont care so much about those issues, at first I used LiteROM the latest one from the greatergood didnt convince me, as it had several issues; after that I flashed CM 10.1 by Spyke555, it was really good and stable but some toggles came out automatically, for example data and, or GPS, meh... went back to stock ICS rooted, with litekernel, wasnt happy due to my battery life, and ram availability. Also my files on the SD card becamekind of unstable, some images were not shown, music couldnt be played... now Im using liquid smooth JB 4.1. Which so far feels really good. Is there another ROM you could reccomend me to use?:p
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
Good point, I understand and agree. My point is that when you ask which ROM people USE, you're not getting a list of ROMs most worthy of maintaining. You'll get a list of ROMs people use, without knowing why. My guess is that many of the Captivate Glide owners here use a ROM for it's stability, while hoping to be able to switch to another ROM that has more features and is newer, but not stable enough yet.

I use LiteROM because it's stable and has good battery-life. However, if you ask me which ROM I'd really want to use, it's a 4.3 PAC-man.

In short, I think it would be better to poll which ROM people want to see stable.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
PAC-man is a feature rich rom, dont expect same speed/battery usage as a clean rom.

Ppl started to post why, but I dont really care.

I can see how much user download my roms, and they are too few to keep continue my work. At the moment I make more room (cm 10.1, cm 10.2 , pacman, omnirom), but I've got only one vote so far. More room then user(s) :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
Of course JB needs more power than ICS. As the number of features rises, energy consumption rises accordingly, dampened by how optimised each feature is. I don't expect the same battery life from a more feature-rich ROM.

But, I do dislike it when a newer ROM consumes twice the energy, whilst I do not make use of all the new features. However, it is unfair to compare a stable ROM to any other that still suffers (seemingly) random reboots. A reboot, it seems to me, is a short period of high CPU use. The more often a ROM reboots, the more the battery is drained.

Anyway, I just want a stable PAC-man 4.3. I voted for LiteROM, because it is has insane battery-life, more than I need(hence my desire for a more stable 4.3 PAC). I think the votes to this poll will reflect with which ROM people are most satisfied with. And I think their satisfaction is strongly related to how stable it is, which I think is inversely related to how much work there is left to do. Which is related to the work required in maintaining it.

Having said all this, I should mention how grateful I am to all developers. Development is no easy task, and not too often a rewarding one either. Dealing with users that just want stuff and expect it to be done yesterday seems very demotivating to me, so I really appreciate all the work done by the developers here. Including you, bubor!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
Actually newer roms uses less cpu, and roms are faster.

Of corse I want to get official android 4.4 from google to i927 ;) We have too few users, and they are seperate to diffrent roms, what makes much more harder to go forward.

Literom has litkernel, right? Litekernel has many power drain improve, but it costs many issue too ( broken wifi tethering, long wake etc)

Anyway you can use litekernel with newer roms with all its feature.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
Did I just catch you contradicting yourself...? You can't say newer ROMs use more CPU (due to being more feature-rich), and then turn around and say newer ROMs use less CPU and are faster. Which is it? I'm thoroughly confused, now... :confused: :D It doesn't really matter, not the point.

Anyway, since you're the developer, I'd say it's your call. Most users here basically want the same: Something post-ICS, as stable as possible, and preferably as close as possible to the latest and greatest.

So, if you decide to focus on that and ditch the rest, I think you'll still have plenty of users willing to test whichever ROM you choose. Of course, people will whine about their ROM not being chosen, but that is unavoidable.

I'll stop now, it's getting way off-topic :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
You really misunderstand me, never said that. MAybe I wasnt clear enought. Dont expect same performance between Feature rich and clean rom, but same services are faster in 4.3.

You shouldnt post like this, its not forward at all. You just troll that topic, what is made to search Interesting. I see, you enjoy troll better then work for solution.

I dont wanna waste you time, I stop here too.

I have tried most of the new custom roms available now and I cant believe what you guys are doing here. Keep up the great work.

Unfortunately for me I need the bluetooth headset to work. It's a deal breaker for me.

I really like the Pacrom 4.3 and I really like the way the Omni 4.4.2 is shaping up. Active display is awesome. I wonder if there is any way to get the bluetooth headset working in KitKat. Skype is not relevant for me right now.
