[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Not too sure mate, think its coded not to be unlockable, in which case someone would have to do quite a bit of digging to undo whatever was done. And seeing as that the vast majority of people knew to buy from a source that doesn't have the NO to unlocking the BL I would say that its not going to happen any time soon. I usually do a bit of digging before I buy a phone, rushed into this one and I'm paying for it now.

I'll check out that link you put up, maybe there's hope yet.

Edit: as for the link you put up, that's just for the sim lock.

If you want an unlockable phone then you'll either have to claim from a 3rd party insurer an hope that they give you an unlocked phone or contact Sony for an RMA and hope that they give you one. Otherwise I can't see it.

But in all fairness your missing custom kernels and aosp type ROMs. Most everything else will work fine, including all (well most) the ROMs that are in the android development section, so that's not a total loss by any means.

When roots fixed completely for 4.3, well see more.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] benjymous:
I couldn't find anyone else talking about this, so figured I'd start a thread.

The release notes about the 4.3 updates contain this snippet:

"The launch of our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – more on this soon…"​

I spotted this post on Xperia blog, which shows some screenshots, and links to the themes on the Play Store

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/12/1...-3-xperia-themes-look-on-the-xperia-tablet-z/

Looking at the screenshots, it looks like the theme has a fair bit of control - for example the software buttons are skinable, which is pretty neat

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Knowit+Mobile+AB

(These themes have been on the store since the 3rd of January.)

Is anyone able to share the apks so we can pull them apart, and work out whether we can make our own themes? (I've got an Xperia SP which hasn't seen the 4.3 update yet, so I can't download them myself)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] hafini:
Well, it worked in ExistenZ 5. Thank You!
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Had a conversation with someone on Google plus, about these themes,

"I reached out to one of the theme developers. They told me they have a great relationship with Sony and at this time all themes had be sent to sony for approval and to be signed by them. Which is a drag. I hope they plan to open that up soon, but it appears that its going to be locked down to them for a while. I'll keep digging and see if I can get a hold of sony and talk to them."

Thought it might be interesting.

Would be nice if Sony could use XDA themers to beta test, but if not it would be nice if they created a program to make them, in the same way that the go launcher devs did for their launcher. ﻿

Hey guys :)

Don't know if you'd had heard this "news" :

http://www.androidauthority.com/sony-aosp-source-kitkat-324270/

So I'm wondering what exactly can we expect from it?

Is it like an unofficial nexus rom but not from CM?

I searched the development section but only saw the CM series, no AOSP ones.

What does this project brings us?

Sorry if this question is too noob but I'm quite excited :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skyend:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skyend:
If you look at the repo, you will find that it was last updated months ago.

The aosp 4.4 is only for xperia L. Many websites misinterpreted it for aosp for all devices. So, the answer is no, nothing for XS.

EDIT: Reading it now, I need to add a remote for "caf". Yay, more digging.

Looked through the default.xml in class and found the caf remote with no fetch, so I'll have to fix that sometime, then hopefully it'll be all good.

Got home, fixed it up, got it working and now there are issues with the omni repos (another person got the same error as me). Hopefully either overnight build or during-school build works. Thanks for your help!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seroaddict:
I believe the main fix is related to full disk encryption on KitKat (4.4.x).

I just received this message from HTC Support:

Specifically, I (and as I've been told, others, even people on other phones) have had problems booting the phone past the point of disk decryption on KitKat. This started immediately after I accepted the OTA update, and was unable to proceed without factory resetting the phone. This was pretty traumatic, since I was unrooted, and the Google passive backups didn't work at all (no settings/apps/etc restored).

I'm still on 4.06.1540.2, but with TWRP recovery, rooted, nightly Titanium backups syncing to Dropbox, and again encrypted. I still have problems with decryption sometimes, but after restarting 1-5 times I'm able to fully boot eventually. So this update should help with that annoyance.

I have another problem introduced with KitKat: I can't actually hear or transmit sound during GSM calls. I asked for release notes to see if this too was fixed:

When I put my SIM card into a T-Mobile HTC ONE at a T-Mobile shop it gets full bars but on mine it only gets 1 bar with poor reception.

[HTC One S] phoenixita:
Not here too! DAMN! Try dirty flashing over a cm11....and see if it works as a workaround. There is something wrong with our device/device-common trees!

I mean flash cm11 let it boot and then flash liquid over it with gapps!
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I've flashed it using TWRP (the modded version) and PA GAPPS (full package as recommended on LS's Facebook page. Gone through initial setup, everything went smooth. Started to setup accounts and play with the settings. I've switched the dark mode on then started with the settings. What I've found so far:

- I LOVE the boot animation. It is great

- the sources are probably synchronized with latest CM1 nightly since the USB computer connection/mass storage/MTP is present in the Storage menu (this was added to CM11 in latest nightly 20131218)

- trying to access volume settings give FC in Settings. So the volume can be changed only via vol buttons that brings up the expandable panel. But the other options remain inaccessible (like the capability to set different volumes for notifications and ring) for now

- ROM seems incredibly smooth. Don't know what those guys do but always LiquidSmooth was incredible in this aspect. No lag, everything opens quick, liquid almost

- unfortunately when I first left the phone entering sleep, I could not wake it anymore. I think phoenixita mentioned this for one of the other ROMs...screen remain blank (not the backlight, the whole screen) and only soft buttons lit. Couldn't do anything else but powering off the device and started up again

- upon startup...lots of process com.android.sistemui FCs. I barely could power it off again. Restarted few times...same thing. Restarted to recovery, wiped cache and after optimizing apps the FCs started again.

Well that's my short experience with it, I've also played with the basic apps like Mail, Gmail, Calendar, Dialer, Contacts, Maps and so on, all are working (at least how long I've played with them)

Edit: I see others noticed the wake-up/sistemui FC as well. I'll try what phoenixita suggests. Dirty flashing over BeanStalk could be an option? Nevermind...I'll try it anyways
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
could you try dirty flashing over a cm11 nightly? :)
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I was in recovery after I've restored BeanStalk. I'll try flashing over it first to see if it's working, then I'll try over CM11 latest nightly as well
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
lemme know!
[HTC One S] Rapier:
LOL. It works and more than that, I got some extra features as well since I've flashed it dirty over BS...like the network speed meter in status bar (an option that is not present in CM nor in LiquidSmooth ROM). Only strange thing now is that sistemui restarts itself every time when I connect the phone to USB...it's restarting in a loop without any message. I've rebooted phone and I'll try again.
[HTC One S] bombina:
You and phoenix are a great duo together. Phoenix always building and supporting our device and Rapier always tests and provides quality feedback. Thanks to you both for your contributions, very much appreciated. I had those systemui errors constantly on the BeanStalk build, as well, so I reverted back to a 4.3 ROM until the issues are more ironed out. This is expected considering KitKat is still in some infant stages and our device needs a lot of pruning to get it right. Is it true that the battery life is horrendous in 4.4? Thanks to you both again, keep it up! Very eager to try 4.4 again when there is no more systemui errors.
[HTC One S] Hai96:
Didn't worked, I still have the same problem with the display...

Sent from my HTC One S with Tapatalk 4
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Right now I'm trying with CM also. I've wiped everything and installed latest CM nightly 20131216 clean. Now I set it up briefly (accounts + the apps that are automatically downloaded). Then I'll reboot to recovery and flash dirty LiquidSmooth over the existing CM11...and keep the fingers crossed.

I am tempted to do a clean install of BS also and flash again over it. As I said before, flashing dirty over Beanstalk solved the black screen after sleep bug and also doesn't give the systemui FCs....but the systemui restarts in a loop as soon as the phone is connected to USB. Might also be some setting or application I have, that's why I said a clean install of BS might bring things back to normal

Anyway I don't have anything else to do right now :)

EDIT: :( Unfortunately, same result. Dirty flashing over CM11 also gives systemui FC in a loop. For now the only ROM over which I could flash Liquid and worked was BeanStalk but...it restarts sistemui in a loop as soon as it is connected to USB. Sistemui restart stops if USB is disconnected and phone operates normally after that

Did a clean install, as I got systemui fc's after dirty flash over cm11. First issue, I get now is, that settings get closed, when I try to open the loudness settings in sound.

[HTC One S] _kevn_:
I've been able to put the phone to sleep and wake it up with out problem. With the power button as well as on its own.

I also noticed settings fc with volume (already mentioned) as well as trying to set lock screen targets.

I did make sure to not turn on the dark mode as it seemed to cause the ui fc on bs and slimkat for me so I wanted to make sure I could test further before I possibly "broke" it.

No hardware button customization is a downside like in SlimKat. I got around that for the moment by adding the navigation buttons with custom buttons and menu to show there. Then I just turn on immersive mode and now I have custom buttons at the ready and the status bar hidden. There's always xposed framework for the hardware button mapping eventually too.

I went ahead on the install with a superstitious 3 wipes of each, factory, system, and davik/cache, and she's running nice for me!
