as soon as o get home from work I'm gonna dig into PAC to see if I can get it building and booting so hopefully soon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Such a good idea. Is there any way us ordinary users in the community can help? I sure would love to see a nice 4.4 pac build!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
If I had some Gerrit knowledge I would have pushed some patches already, but I don't know Gerrit at all.. I need to work tomorrow and on Sunday I'll leave for Paris so it won't be before next weekend I can help.

EDIT: I did update my sources on github, kernel should be ok again now with all mods like faux sound control, vdd etc :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Well I've managed to get cm-11.0 booting, with the help of [MENTION=2492127]Kali-[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION], but there is no sound or wifi... yet!!! lol :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
Plesse open a thread would love to follow the development
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Holy crap that's excellent news!!! I'd love to test when you're ready. The XZU community thanks you!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
When I was playing around with this build we got lte fixed with the gpe build.prop.

Dunno if that will help here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Actually never thought of that lol... I will try that...

I'm just trying something on my G2 and waiting for build to finish... and then I will be back on this because I've had a thought on something I could try... ;)

Edit: [MENTION=614742]Reb0rn[/MENTION] do I remember you from Note 2? If so nice to see you here :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Yeah :D jumped from Samsung to Sony. Sweet to see you here as well :D if you need something tested you know where to find me ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Is this the same Vertigo from back in the HTC Desire HD haydays? If so, this guy is awesome.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Never had anything to do with the Desire HD I'm afraid, I had one, just wasn't brave enough to try anything back then lol :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Thats ok. You're awesome all the same for working with the other guys to help get 4.4.2 on our devices.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
For sound use my qcom/audio-caf repo from RevolutionDev github :)

Greetings from Paris :D my Z1 is the camera in Paris :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Looks like you're mighty enjoying yourself :D

Any daylight pics?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
No post in development for more than 12 hours.... Needs more pushes ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Hahaha well I have made some progress... I've compiled SlimKat and got Wifi, 3g/lte/radio, Bluetooth, sound... just a few little issues left now

No Camera (just says can't connect to camera), auto rotate doesn't seem to work, plus can't make phone calls (which is a strange one!) As soon as you press call button signal goes and it says it can't make the call, but as soon as you press 'OK' signal comes back (you can send messages/sms though!), everything else seems to work.... I've tried it with the GPe build.prop too and its the same. Gonna keep working on it ;)

Edit: I will keep from Hi-jacking Krabs thread anymore now, so I won't post anything till I've got something usable....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qwasz123:
Thank you such for doing all this! And you for keeping us updated. It stinks not having updates and your device has no development.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Still, remember that the device even with JB is still amazing. Having tried smaller form factors with access to the absolute latest, I must say so far I prefer the ZXU for what it is right now. Its just a matter of time before we get some nice KK options.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qwasz123:
Oh of course! But Kitkat is such a step up from Jelly Bean.

Though I have been Kitkat since it came out, but I really want to start flashing around different roms again.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
I second the guy that wants you to keep updating us on this. The only thing I regret moving to my Z Ultra is losing SlimRom; I'd love to be able to compile SlimBean while I wait for Slimkat for it, but I entirely lack the knowlege to do so, and most guides I see for doing something like that are convoluted (Then again, perhaps I shouldn't make my first project on android making a OS for the thing...).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Hijacking Krabappel thread is not a problem at all, I'm certain interested parties appreciate you continuing krabs work and similarly appreciate the constant updates in the relevant thread :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I agree, the only reason I'm not still on Omni is that I'm playing with cooking 4.3 - I thought I should start with some thing a bit easier than doing a full port of an OS :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, I'm also fine with it. Knock yourself out, and just make a new thread for your ROM when you feel like it's stable enough for daily usage.

Thank you so so so so so much! I love Slimrom :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
What about taking the camera drivers from the GPE? Won't that fix all out problems? Other graphics and auto rotation related files as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bigxie:
Here's my attempt at 4.4.2 for togari:

http://goo.im/devs/bigxie/togari/cm-11-20140102-UNOFFICIAL-togari.zip

You'll need to FTF to .290 to get reception (at least, IMEI, I have my SIM in my N5 at the moment so can't test mobile data). Camera doesn't seem to be working, but I tested NFC, wifi, etc.

I see a lot of activity in CM's rhine and togari repos, so it seems like CM11 is going to be coming soon enough...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
great work .can you please open a thread? it would be easier to follow and many were waiting for this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Wow that's awesome news! Does everyone have to ftf to 290 or is that only if you're coming from a stock rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Only from stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
I'll give it a try on my device. Flash boot.img necessary?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Better safe than sorry.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Flashed and BOOTING! As you mentioned, camera is not working but I am also getting no sim detection. Any workaround?

Edit: lost IMEI coming from CM 10.2 latest nightly. I assumed that your note about loosing IMEI was for folk running stock ROMS.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Droid:
We're you on .290 before ?

What else is not working
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Do you have imei? If not, try ftf'ing back to .290 and then flashing it again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Sorry, my bad I misunderstood. I will ftf to 290 and try flash again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Ok i'm back. Flashed from 290 and I have back IMEI. I am getting regular cellular signal fine. As soon as I enter my APN to connect to cellular data, the entire cell signal starts to drop off and come back on every few seconds...Connected for 5 seconds, disconnected for another 5 etc etc.

Once the APN is removed and I reboot, cell signal returns to normal.

Also, as you said from the beginning, camera is not functioning. Other than that, rom seems stable and runs fine. Have not tried video playback though as I am away from WIFI.

Hey keep going we're almoosssttt have a fully working CM unofficial rom!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
I think I fixed 3g/lte on cm11 the same way we did with omni
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Droid:
Share!!! :D:cowboy::crying:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Damn it... i might have yelled Wolf without even seeing one.

Im getting the same as the others. 3G for 3 sec then dissconects.

We have no option to choose LTE thou.

But its so incredibly smooth! A fully working CM11 would be the dream for this device :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
The CM11 and Slim I compiled were exactly the same thats why I didn't put them up... Were the same issue present in Omni before? (once the GPe build.prop had been added) I might have to take a look at what Krab has put together and try to combine both to get something workable...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
Omni worked perfectly with data after applying the build.prop. just bluetooth and videos didn't work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Yeah I took the build.prop from gpe and got data working for omni.

I tried the same with your cm11 but I don't know if it did anything as one in your build actually do get data for a couple of seconds to then dissconect. And one can't choose lte on your build.

Check the added lines in the fixed omni build.prop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:

And I'm back in business guys, probably something will be coming up tomorrow ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Well I guess there is no reason for me to keep learning how to build rooms then ;)

Welcome back
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Awesome. Just about the time I get my phone back I'll have some new stuff to flash. Gotta love it. Lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
Happy New Year indeed.

My sentiments exactly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sabre31:
I would not give up there is always room for more roms or you can release your rom first before anybody else. You never know. Thanks for all your efforts thus far
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
Agreed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
diff the two build.props? must be something that can be seen?

We missed you, but please don't forget about us on Z1 especially now that we have a 'working' cam on CM11 ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qwasz123:
Where do down get all the roms these guys are working on? I haven't seen anything on XDA about CM 11 for the Ultra, minus the locked thread.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
If they are still in development/testing they won't be shared very widely, once they are [more] stable they might then see public testing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
[MENTION=487859]jerdog[/MENTION] I'm not sure what's wrong here? The device files are from my github but the rom sources are from omnirom github so it is omnirom, I'm in the omnirom hangouts group too.

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
maybe he read only the last 2 pages in this thread about CM builds.. and assumed ur ROM has nothing to do with omni :D

i thought only "noobs" dont read before posting :P

-love his signature about exposure to xda noobs.. maybe this is a new sympton.. he may be turning to one :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jerdog:
First off there is no "omnirom hangouts". Secondly, this is not official Omnirom. Period. We are all for people making Omni for their devices - but in order to be considered "Omnirom" they need to be part of the community, which means they are sharing device trees, changes, etc. to benefit all of the community. You're also using a kernel that isn't Omni. All of those add up to not official Omnirom. It's really quite simple.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Well that's true, but my device tree is available on www.github.com/RevolutionDev. I'll try get my sources to omnirom github asap. They know about this and gave me permission. But for now I'll remove the name
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jerdog:
Please identify who on the Omni core team gave you the approval as that should not have been the case. Thanks for changing the name of the ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
There is a hangouts group with all official and unofficial devs, they agreed there, but it was an unofficial rom for now since it wasn't fully stable yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jerdog:
Sorry but we do not have an official hangout. All official discussion on Omni happens either through the forums via official Omni core team agreement or on our IRC channel (#omnirom on Freenode). As I stated, all official Omni work happens through our github via submissions from the community.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
No, but i've wasted several hours on this now, and i'm sick and tired of it.

EDIT: Hahaha! Guess what, Recovery is YET AGAIN gone.

EDIT 2: And now it won't even boot into Recovery anymore, even after flashing the kernel. Oh well, happy weekend.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Or, if you have enough time you can use CM10.2 as a 'bridge'. I flashed CM10.2 from .257 easily, also from CM10.2 to this rom.. hope this help
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I thought about it, but i don't give a crap anymore. I'm going back to 257.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
Build.

[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION]

The build seems stable as hell. No force closes or funky behavior. ART runs error free.

Other then the already known issues.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
Iiiiiih stock.... At least flash cm
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
@krabappel2548 Alright, i'm stuck. I need a boot.img that works. My ZU is practically dead if i don't get one that will allow me to boot into recovery.

(yes, i can flash a stock rom with flashtool, but i'm not going to do that)

So far i've tried this:

- Flash RevolutionKernel

- Flash boot.img from Omni

No recovery, no nothing. Only getting the Sony logo.

EDIT: I'm just going to try something random and see if that works.

EDIT 2: YES! I did it!

- I knew i was still rooted, but i couldn't boot at all and recovery was gone. So i used flashtool to flash a TFT ROM (532, since it didn't matter what i flashed at this point), but without wiping appslog, data or cache, and excluded the kernel since i didn't want to risk losing root. I fininshed flashing and i powered the ZU on, and it went as far as going past the Sony logo and to a completely black screen, which is good since it meant that the "bootloader" worked again. I then flashed the RevolutionKernel again - just to be able to use Recovery, and voila! I got recovery again and i restored my backup which was still there.

5 hours of pure frustration and torture is finally over.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Boot image from the PA rom worked like a champ for me. Used flash boot and it took 5 seconds. Rom booted on the first try. U could have gotten a bad download.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That might be, but i don't feel like going through all that again right now, so we won't know :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
I feel your pain. I wish we didn't have flash recoveries like we do roms. It gets frustrated after awhile. And it sometimes breaks the ability to restore via nandroid. My only gripe i s consistently having to a pc to flash amything. Recovery is supposed to prevent that. Is it that difficult to attain that on sony phones only? I haven't run into an issue with my note going between cm10 and 10.2 or stock. Any shedding of light would be appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, the only thing that's annoying me is the stupid boot.img flashing. What's the point of Recovery when i have to use my computer? I can't wake up one morning, see a new ROM and flash it within minutes. No, i have to go on my computer to do it. It's not @krabappel2548 or @FXP fault, but i wish someone could explain why it is like this, and if it's possible to do something about it. This is my first Sony, so i have no idea.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
^^likewise first sony and love it. the recovery system needs some work and i know it's not our DEVs fault
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
So why not just reboot to recovery when needed, from power menu why turning on advanced reboot in dev options?

Awesome ROM, I just can't get whatsapp plus or play version to work. Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
its a general issue, at reviews on playstore the ones who updated to 4.4 gets fc. Might get solved by an update
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ChillyChan:
It's also the same on HTC phones. I think it's got something to do with the bootloader protection. Custom recoveries cannot write to the boot partition on HTC phones unless the phone is S-OFF. The official HTC bootloader unlock, like the one from Sony, doesn't allow flashing kernels from custom recovery. Samsung phones don't have that problem though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
If you have a recovery installed with the boot.img you dont need to use the terminal everytime you flash a rom. Last time I flashed a rom was when I unlocked the bootloader. I might need to flash the custom kernel when upgrading to 4.4 I dunno.

On the one x yes u need the terminal everytime but not on the One when flashing a rom.

But overall I think its good you can't flash a kernel like a custom kernel via cwm as on Samsung devices because if something went wrong your device was bricked. In some cases soft but in the worst case scenario hard bricked
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fbfree:
Thanks guy！
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Droid:
Amazing r but the data I need to function for work :(

Can't wait for data
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
That makes sense. I do see the lower risk of bricking with sony versus samsung. Thanks for the explaination

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Same waiting for data before i flash
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fbfree:
That's the poin！
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Meant last time I flashed a kernel not rom lol, was quite busy when writing this. Anyhow yep I had many bricks with my S2 back in the days when ICS was introduced. Mostly softbrick but the last flash of OmegaRom hardbricked my device. I already had a blackberry bold or an Iphone 4s can't remember surely so it wasn't a big deal loosing one device
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
hope holidays come soon so we can have data working on this rom..................need it for work and general outdoor use. i havent flashed yet as just reading what others experiences are with this rom.......................

when i do decide to flash i will use boot.img from this zip and flash via fastboot using quickimg app then at purple led on bootup hold vol up to get into recovery...........never had an issue with getting into recovery. I am currently running PA 4.3 which i flashed straight from stock using this method. waiting patiently for an update and i am sure it will be well received
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
you're not the only one waiting :p

I need bluetooth and mobile data to work otherwise my device is useless for my purpose
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Weaklings! I've been braving it out all this time! :cool::D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
the days of flashing roms everyday is over, stable or unstable release :) when I had my Desire then it was the most fun I had with android, today I prefer the rom to be as stable as possible before I flash away :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Hahahaha yea I am weak but mobile data is a must. I can tether with my iPhone but I have 10g 4G allowance with my current network
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Me and [MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION] think data could be vendor files issue as he had similar on G2. Let's hope he is right

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
My guess is he's busy with studies.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
Yeah mate, let him focus on his exams for a bit... He's already done way more than he had to, to take the time amidst his studies to bring us this near perfect KitKat build.. Yeah sure cell data is important, but there's wifi almost everywhere u stay put - home, office, coffee joints, pubs, mates' place... So its just no internet access while you're traveling between these places... I've been using this awesome rom since the 29th.. Surprisingly u don't really miss cell data so much, sure it would be nice, and i keep visiting xda regularly hoping or a fix for this, but seriously, its nothing I can't wait another few weeks for..

p.s: couldn't get whatsapp working initially, got it working on clean-wipe/flashing same rom again and installing whatsapp first
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
yea whatsapp on this device seems to be an issue to register and initialise.............even on 4.3 i struggled with it. i could live without data but as i work away alot i need it as internet where i work is noit reliable so my mobile data is a lifesaver. if i was home alot and in town then its no big deal
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
The issue with whatsapp is ART, if you don't use that then it works fine. All that being said, I would seriously consider getting you and your buddies over to "Line" by Naver. Far superior app in my opinion. Much more feature rich. Plus it has a windows desktop client, so when I am logged in on my desktop at work the phone does not make a sound. very nice integration.

whatsapp is very popular, but is really lagging behind in features now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
As far as I am aware whatsapp is fine with ART now and I am on 4.3 PA which doesn't have ART. Unless whatsapp has been having issues last few days I've had a bad time. Will have a look at Line or could you point me in the right direction
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
