[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
yes sir i did this just for you to get you 100% working solution to get Omni on your device...................

- do not flash revolution kernel boot.img as ther recovery from that won't flash Omni(status7)

- do not use boot.img from this rom zip as it doesnt have recovery included

right

- use boot.img from PA 3.99 RC2 from Beerbong and flash using quick img app i posted earlier( that boot.img contains recovery that flashes without issues) - i did it

- boot into recovery and do wipes including format system in advanced menu

- flash rom and gapps then reboot

- go through settings quickly the QS panel hit airplane mode. setting tile and more then switch aiprlane mode off qucikly and press mobile networks right away and untick mobile data. thats it

i have done all these steps myself from having status 7 to success,,,,,,,,,,try it man
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well that came out of thin air! :D Thank you very much. I'll keep your post in the "archive" for when i'm going to flash Omni - or any other ROM. It won't happen right now though, since i need working data. I have promised myself that my first custom ROM on my ZU will be a 4.4 ROM, so i'll have to wait.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
lol no worries man. had same error as you and i was determined to get past it. when i did i thought i'd give heads up. after flashing the rom successfully then flash revolution kernel to get recovery back..............Done

PS

It works so well I am willing to forget data for now. Also I have a mobile WiFi dongle I can carry around with me for data
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
I'm so excited for a really stable update. This phone would be useless to me without mobile data and bluetooth.... But what are the odds that things are all going to be running smoothly by the next update...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Well we can only hope Krab sorts it out. My friend [MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION] is trying as well so fingers crossed. It prob be 4.4.1 now as omni has updated. Our patience will be rewarded guys. Once we have one proper 4.4 build the rest will follow
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
What patience :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I'll work on it tonight :) Vertigo and I discussed some stuff ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Crossing my fingers and toes that you'll have an early christmas gift for us :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Nice man. This is so smooth I think everyone should try it. I love it and not going back. Got my USB WiFi dongle with me so I have data when out. Battery is very good too. Thanks man
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Thats Hardcore Kitkat love right there.

I'll wait a few more days for mobile data myself, sounds like its close to working :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fbfree:
Really? That was a good news！Cant wai for
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
yea i had a nexus 5 so i am aware of all what kitkat brings and it changes everything..............actually data does connect but reboots soon after. with my wifi dongle in my pocket i never miss data :D

not sure how close they are but its being a pain right now from reports ive been given
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
Tonight ? Which timezone ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Central European. He's Belgian.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
Ofcourse you know this :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
The .be on his URL is a bit of a giveaway :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Google has just started rolling out 4.4.2 for nexus devices lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Or just press "more info" under his avatar :p

Yup, just read it at AP.

Enhancements/Fixes

- Fix for clearing the VM Indicator

- Fix for delivery of the VM Indicator

- Various additional software fixes

- Security enhancements
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Not sure on krab progress but me and [MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION] have just successfully build 4.4.1 Omni so let's see what happens. Just about to flash it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Nice, keep us posted :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I'm trying to compile 4.4.1 carbon at the moment, but will go to bed soon :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
its bootlooping .......... vertigo looking for you lol

your kernel cant flash it as it keeps thinking device is 'hanomi' and in updater-script it has an abort script if device is not recognised as C68xx or togari. update kernel as it links to your device not this one
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
I don't think my measly little donation will get very far but Krabapple doesn't even have the Z ultra???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Come on now, you're almost there. One final push! Keep the chat and discussion on here please. It's quite entertaining to follow your work, and it's pretty boring when every dev sits by themselves doing... stuff... and we, the users/flashers, have to sit in the dark for days or weeks not knowing anything about the progress.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
Yup, I'm with you, very entertaining being "involved";)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
well thats my style as i ran PAC thread on XS for a while before it became boring and thats how i think it should be. keeping users involved keeps you motivated and gives you an extra push
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That's the spirit! :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I'm so tempted to run this but I just up'd my data and if a I dont have a rom that can use it it seems a little pointless...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I compiled RevolutionRom 4.4.1 yesterday, will do omni today :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
fingers crossed for cell data!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icjellybean:
^

Please make it happen!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Great news man. Does data work on revolution 4.4.1? If so that's great
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
How's the progress? Any news? :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I am glued to this thread even though I love the current smoothness of the phone...flashing addiction is hard to control...plus looks like maybe a OCed kernel if I read correctly..again, this phone is fast anyway but hey...that never stopped me before lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
Me too....... Haven't even rooted yet.... maybe I'll do that now to take my mind off things... I hope mobile data and bluetooth are working. Without those, the phone would be worthless to me..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
It didn't even boot up completely, but I'm going to compile omni in a minute. With latest 257 blobs instead of old ones cm is using now. That also might help a bit ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Yea same with our builds. Just Sony logo then blank screen. Tried every flashing method I know lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qwasz123:

XPERIA Z ULTRA GOOGLE PLAY EDITIONS.

This is going to totally help the custom rom effort!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
I felt pissed off for a second because DAMN IT TO HELL I JUST BOUGHT THE REGULAR ONE LAST WEEK!! But I only paid 530, seriously, look online... I don't think I would have paid over a hundred more....

Can someone tell me how this works now? Why does it become much easier to build roms now?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I got past Sony logo ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
come on man share :p

any progress is good progress man. i just want a fully functional rom for ZU on 4.4 and i am happy. you seem to be the man right now
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
I'm not sure if you are asking the same thing. In hopes that I am, let me rephrase it. Please do not flame me, I apologise if i'm not supposed to ask here.

Seeing as there is now a GPE of the Z Ultra, does that mean that AOSP roms would be easier to build and more stable and feature complete? If so I can save $150us by getting a normal edition and flashing my AOSP rom of choice onto it. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Yes, if I have GPE fw I can fix issues :) still compiling and trying to get omni booting ;)

And I don't know if anyone saw it but I added Tapatalk and forum support to my site ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Are you the guy that raved about this on Reddit? :p Calm down! :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
Ha! no, I saved 1-150 bucks.. not so bothered. BUt if LG released the source for the gpad, that means ours is coming too, no?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
just registered on your site bud.............hope we get this GPE rom so things can really get started
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Haha, okay. A guy went crazy on Reddit because he just bought the "standard" version and saved $100 on it (compared to the GPE version), and he was "mad". I can't see why he should be, since he saved a hundred bucks on it, plus he can covert it to a GPE device. Are you sure it wasn't you? :p LOL
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
No, it really wasn't that's funny though. I guess he's mad because most people don't want to tinker with their phones.

[MENTION=1245534]thedeli[/MENTION] posted this in another thread.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Wow they didn't waste time releasing those sources. Hope krab is still up as I am sure there will be something in there that can be used. Kernels for sure and hopefully 4.4 blobs to build with and get mobile data working
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
I change my mind... I don't like being this "involved" knowing what's happening with updates... I can't get any work done.... I'm so excited.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ me too.. Lol... Done stuff all work today so far.. Thx sony
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
I have a feeling that the next day or so will be productive :cowboy:

Edit... I've just cracked a bottle of good Red open to celebrate, so I'll hope there will somebody left to share the excitment for an hour or so. So excited I'm considering putting the bunting out and having a street party :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Well Sony has definitely gone totally opposite to their usual BS by doing this. This device with GPE sits above the others in my view. red wine huh? Will have a glass lol. Too late for street party here in uk. This is great news indeed
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's like christmas in here today! [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] has downloaded the sources, so he's probably looking at it as i type this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ he's went to bed at 1.18am but has the day off tomorrow (yes, I have a cam live streaming from Krabs house :silly: )
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Well that's good news indeed. Hopefully there will be a readme file in there that says how to build from it. Haven't seen no device files in there from looking at it briefly but some external and kernel files. Sure Krab will know how to proceed with these files

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

Hahahha fun times tomorrow then. The buzz in here is amazing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Readme?? I don't need a readme to use those sources :D just investigated the sources, will merge them in my kernel etc tomorrow probably :)

Now it's already almost 2am lol, so seriously now I'm going to bed :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, i picked that up now from the other thread. Well, i guess we'll have to wait.

Or, hear me out.. you can be the man of the hour and do it yourself. Aww yeah :cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Bed? At a time like this? How can you sleep? Lol only kidding. I am guessing you can get the blobs you need from this to rebuild Omni and for sure update your kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Droid:
How can one go to bed at a time like this is correct lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
It's crazy, I've never had something so randomly good happen to me like this.... I know we're just talking about a rom on a phone but still... I bought this figuring dev support would be pretty minimal because it's a very niche device and then this happens!! Praise the Lord!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup! I would've thought that a more mainstream device would get the GPE badge, like the Moto X or another Samsung of some sorts, but nope! We got it! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mottyengel:
Well, no, I would have thought the Z1 but I guess they already have enough of those same 5 inch 1080p Snapdraggon 800/600 phones, and they wanted a big phablet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Yeah, I'm just glad they picked up the XZU. This phone is awesome this should give it lots more attention.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
Thank you Sony :) your sources are awesome so now I have 4.4.1 AOSP running on my Z1 :D will check bugs asap :p

EDIT: bugs seem the same but now it boots so I can start fixing again :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Wow! Good times are here :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I'll merge kernel changes first, that may fix some minor things too maybe :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Enough of this Z1 teasing man ZU bud lol. Stop use our sources for Z1 and get us Omni with mobile data working man. ZU not Z1 lol. This is really good news man
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StarRider:
Wicked !!

I've had just about every problem with this ROM that are mentioned in this thread, with not being able to install the damn thing for a number of reasons.

Some of which are related to the 5-6 kernels and recoveries I tried,without luck, causing "status 7" and device name error when flashing, and causing reboots and hangups, and rebooting after 5 seconds when the thing booted, or not being able to cal, or connect to anything, or installing anything, and, this and that, and then some. Luckily I didn't brick the thing totally.

I noticed that one of the errors when trying to flash was that my ZU reported itself as a "honami", aka Z1, and not "togari", as the ZU should.

I suspect this to be related to one (or more) of the kernels I flashed, which then originally is Z1-kernels. Can that be true ?

I think this was the "status 7" error and came from some build prod setting or something. I'm not a developer or programmer so I haven't got that much of a clue.

I've also noticed that some, or many things are the same on the two, and thus kan run the sane firmware / driver.for hardware, and thus it has been tempting to try to flash a Z1-ROM on my ZU, but I haven't dared.

Sadly, I've been at this all day long yesterday and have at this point no clue as to what procedure I finally managed to get it all together and working through. As in what kernel and what ROM i flashed and up- and down-graded, and this and such.

But now that I finally got it up and running nicely, not regarding the stated bugs,, I just have to say GOD DAMN this ROM is WICKEDLY fast and smooth. It takes like a third of the time to boot than i.e. AOKP-based PAC, which I've used quite a lot. The only ****ty thing is that I use Bluetooth all the time and I already have cravings after my bluetooth-headset, so I hope there will be some 4.4-ROM without bugs for the ZU soon.

My only "real" problem is that I cannot for anything decide if I prefer stock or custom ROMs. I prefer both, like I prefer to have many of the stock features that come with the devices that developers always discard as "bloatware", but I also prefer many of the custom ROM features like the CM Theme Chooser and AOKP custom settings.

BTW, is there any actual differences between this and the 4.4-based Revolution-ROM here ? I tried that first, but for some reason I thought this would be different and better, as I have been watching the OMNI-thread in the N7100-section, and to me they seem mostly identical.

Anyway, nice ROM, but I hope to see the BT-issue resolved soon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
[MENTION=685278]StarRider[/MENTION]

I posted a method to get this working without any issues at all so I guess you missed it. I have already mentioned to Krab about the 4.4,kernel issues with device being recognised as a Z1 or hanomi. The ROM updater-script has an abort script if device isn't recognised as one of the ZU variants hence the status 7 error. However if you use the boot.img from the PA or PAC ROM this error doesn't occur when flashing from recovery. With the release of sources Krabs 4.4 kernel can be ZU specific now and should help fixing Bluetooth and even mobile data. I also love stock ROMs but prefer cm/aosp based ROM for custom options received. I am running PA now and have that setup perfectly. Once mobile data is sorted on 4.4 I won't flash anything else
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
1 thing you guys are forgetting is that Sony released kernel source yesterday, not blobs so mobile data can't be fixed until I have newer blobs probably.

Still working on merging kernel stuff
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
Actually I did say that somewhere that only kernel and external stuff was in that source archive and no device files. Sure you can get something going though
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omniphil:
Is it possible to just get the version of the rom they are running without worrying about blobs? Id be totally happy with plain old aosp
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
We would need a nandroid or dump of that ZU GPE ROM so these guys like krab can work on. Without that you won't see that ROM here for now. When someone gets hands on the device this will no doubt be done soon as
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Fu*k me sideways! This is awesome! GPe edition?!

We should get an avalanche of new roms !

:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Droid:
Am I the only one that keeps checking xda every 30 mins hoping for an update lol ?

I'm excited and can't wait I just want haha
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
No You are not alone. Infact I am checking every 15 mins. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
hahaha thats the spirit boys.................soon as we get a dump or a nandroid of the GPE rom you guys can literally '****' your pants :laugh::laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Aaaah, the waiting...! I'm currently checking XDA for any news, then i head over to Reddit, then Feedly, then YouTube and back to XDA. Repeat x50.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kumeipark:
Ready to kill my device....

Throw me some insane ROM....

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Its good to know I am not alone on this..I am just silently stalking everywhere I can for updates :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Ordered a Nexus 5 initially. On hearing the wonderful news of a GPe of the Z Ultra I also ordered it and sold the Nexus!

I too, can't wait. This is just an awesome form factor.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shingers5:
totally agree..............initially people go WTH but upon playing with it and using the device they soon realise the sense behind the form factor and in the next few minutes they want one :D..............with GPE on board this will literally fly as is that quick with what we have here now
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
So true mate...I cannot see myself without this monster any more :D

I thought about getting this then getting note 4 if it was finally 6" but now...I dont see that happening :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:

Also a status update:

Tried compiling with my own modified updated kernel sources without success, I'll use the clean Sony sources now to give it a try :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Droid:
Crossing my finger !!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
It's just a matter of time now... I foresee many ROMs suddenly about to bloom for this phone in the coming week(s)... Cyanogen official 11, the elusive fxp, PA, PAC, official omni perhaps.. Bah! Santa's gonna bring us lots of kitkats this Christmas :silly:

I hope aokp joins the parade as well
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's awfully quiet in here. Are you guys sick and tired of pressing F5? :p Lightweights :cool:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Ah, i see! But i'm off to bed now, so i'll take a break too. If i can't find a thread named "Google Play Edition ROM" tomorrow, i will destroy the internet. I'm like.. super serious. No, but Krabappel is also sleeping now, so i guess he'll work on it tomorrow after school and when he gets the chance to talk to Sebring (who has the SZUGPE, or "ZUGE").

We should see some progress tomorrow (i.e Krab will get his tender Belgian hands on the build)

Good night! :angel:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rollerxda:
A gimmick on the camera is to overlay a picture frame/graphic when taking photos.

Does anyone know how the rules for making these picture themes ?

The one example we have, the faux magazine cover, is a 4 frame GIF,

with no set transparency. It seems to remove the black (#000000) instead?

I have tried to replicate my own, without any success.....

I tried:

A single frame with black

A single frame with transparency

A 2 frame with black

A 2 frame with transparency

etc.. etc...

All at 256 colours..

Does anyone know what is the correct process?

As I need to get an idea sorted before tomorrow morning :(

cheers
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Moscow Desire:
The following are reasonable formats that are suggested when posting a new ROM. We expect your ROM post to look somewhat professional and easy to understand.

1. Requirements (bootloader version, radio version etc)

2. State that it's from an official manufacturer or source base (stock ROM or AOSP-like source).

3. Thread shows a clear overview of changes made, in a way that users can see what has changed.

4. Explicit installation instructions.

5. ROMs need to identify what kernel they are using. If 100% stock then they must state that.

6. If custom kernel they must provide a link to the kernel on XDA (if available) or a link to the kernel source. This is required by GPL. Stock (untouched) kernels can link to the manufacturers source (if available).

7. At least 2-4 images (screen-shots) 1 of which must be of system/device info. Do not use photo hosts thay deluge users with ads and popups when they select the image. You can either attach the images, or use a hosting service such as photo-bucket for example.

8. Links to downloads. A link to a direct download is preferred. Linking to external websites home pages are not allowed, it must be linked to the Downloads page. Also use of "ad-driven" (adfly for example) or "commercial" sites are mostly not allowed. Registration on some sites "may" be allowed, but is subject to XDA Moderation approval.

9. Credits for sources used. Very important.

10. Keep your "asking for donations to a limit. You already have a "Donate" button.

Simply posting a link to some download site "here it is, download it", is not allowed.

Any questions, please feel free to contact any moderator.

Thank You

[HTC Droid DNA] iamandrewww:
Out of nowhere my DNA began to overheat like hell, can't seem to find the issue. Doesn't seem like any app is creating the problem, and the only recent apps I downloaded were a few games. I even tried doing a factory reset, yet the problem persists.

Phone temperature goes up to around 43.5 C, 110 F degrees.

My current installed ROM is Cynogenmod, and I tried updating it to a more recent version (10.2.0-RC1), yet the problem won't go away.

I really don't know what else to do. At this point it seems like a hardware problem, but has this happened to anyone else?
[HTC Droid DNA] mjpitts:
Same thing is happening to me since i flashed an updated Cyanogenmod 4.4 rom. I tried factory reset and flashing a different rom but no luck.
