[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Fullmetal Jun:
I still have the original which is not so fluid at touch compared to other screen protectors! Only thing is that I can't replace it as screen protectors nor cases for the g pad are available in my country :(
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Planterz:
When I bought my 8.3 from Newegg, I bought some X-Shield protectors. This was several months ago, and I still have the original screen protector on.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] galaxys:
Mines naked since day one! :D
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] alakiha:
I am still using original factory installed Screen Protector :D it looks just fine :D
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] dgenx210:
it's full of scratches but i'm still using it. I can't seem to find a replacement for it here in my country :D
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Park82:
Also still using it. I did cut off the removal flap when I got it. Starting to show its age now. I need a replacement...
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RaiderWill:
No Need For Change..

I can't believe it's the year 2015.. :cool:

And I'm surprised to say I still own this device.. ( Thanks to having snagged the rare 5-20-14 build of the Mahdi-ROM ) but, I'm not surprised that the original factory installed screen protector is *still* installed and looks just as nice as it did when I first removed the unit from the box.

I don't know what they cost.. or if any are still available.. but I'm glad I've never had to make an investment in a screen protector thanks to LG.. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cenwesi:
lol, just the other day, I pulled out the screen protector I ordered and was debating taking the LG factory cover off :)

I don't think I will for now since lg's is still holding strong.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RaiderWill:
Nothing's Changed...

I've had NO DESIRE to even consider investing in another Tablet... :cool:

The 5-20-14 Mahdi-ROM to this day.. has yet to show even 1 error msg... It's better than the factory ROM.. so why change :confused:

Same can be said about the LG Factory Screen Protector... It amazingly, still performs Like New also.... so again, why change.... ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] bjcrj:
Wish that build was still up somewhere for download
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RaiderWill:
It Was His Finest Achievment..

I Don't Remember If It Was Moose Or Mahdi.. :cool:

I know Moose did the compile for the 8.3.. But whichever one sprinkled the "Perfect Dust" on that particular build created something that was never achieved again with any other build prior to or after 5-20-14.. It was Magic.. I've backed my ROM up sooooo many times..:D just to make sure I had a good copy on my PC should something strange happen to my install...

But Nary A Hiccup since I installed it over a year ago.. ;)

Time has moved on to Lollipop.. for everyone...

Everyone but me.... and my G-Pad 8.3... Created by Moose & Mahdi :cool:

I am still using my LG Gpads too. I am thinking of getting one of the new Asus Zenpads later this year when the 4gb model is released. I am also still using Kitkat (infected's version 9 of Slimrom).
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RaiderWill:
Nice To Have A "Classic" ROM Is It Not? :cool:

I have not gone into TWRP in over a year... ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RaiderWill:
Wow... It's Time

I Know How You Feel... :cool:

But.. I finally got a few scratches on my original screen protector.. and order a slab of Tempered Glass and a New Case for Xmas 2015..

They have arrived...

And will be installed later this Xmas morning when I wake up.

It's been 2 years since I purchased the 8.3..

Time for a face lift.. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] blokant:
I took it away immediately after unboxing , but I use a case for protection. I think that film can be pretty useful if it does anti glaring, I saw something like that on some macbook
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RaiderWill:
It's Ok...

What A Fool I've Been...:cool:

There was such a haze under my protector after 2 years... I was looking through a cloud.. and did not realize it..

I've since removed this nightmare and along with my new 3 position folio case, I now enjoy Crystal Clear Clarity & Brightness..

Wow, this tablet is stil amazing. Old screen protector and Crdroid 3.8.1 and everything is just fine. By far the best tablet I ever had. Hope Beroid will bring us Oreo. I never search is there any other table received this much upgrades like GPad 8.3 .

Are you asking for a flashable zip or an FTF for your region?
[Xperia Z General] deck91:
Prerooted flashable zip
[Xperia Z General] bern4d1:
why didn't you change the tittle ti V2 or anything else?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Because the v2 was the first release here my first resulted in bootloop so was named v2 before so I didn't mix up the files on my PC
[Xperia Z General] bern4d1:
owh i see... actually I'm trying your ROM right now. Can't say anything yet but the good thing is it's all stock and I can modif myself.

One that made me stress with this 4.3 is when you take a picture in low-light condition with superior auto you will see too much noise.

What has Sony done with our xperia z. So sad... :(

Please let me know if you find something that can help our camera quality in low-light condition. Thanks... :)
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
That's why I prefer to build my own so I know exactly where it's at :) I also had that same rom on before without root and that was there then. I know what you mean though but the updated sms app and email app looks good which I use the most. I'm glad people are downloading this I might do another with the next Sony build when it's out. I'll have a look see if there is any camera mods :)
[Xperia Z General] bern4d1:
I'm done with setting up my Z with your ROM. Everything works like it should but I've found one little issue.

In camera, when I choose picture effect it directly closed the camera app and said "picture effect has stopped".

I did delete some system apps. Is the any app connected to this picture effect?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I can only assume so as I've also got the rom on been using it since minutes before the OP I have just opened up picture effect from camera with no problems. Do you know exactly what apps you deleted?
[Xperia Z General] nick2crete:
Ive the same rom and way installed, picture effect respons fine no issues, find what you uninstalled maybe we can help
[Xperia Z General] Gio_ital:
I have installed this rom yesterday and I must say that everything is great. Absolutely no problem here.

Thanks dev. :thumbup:
[Xperia Z General] bern4d1:
I've found it. It conflicts with navigation bar setting in gravity box module. Thanks anyway.
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Thanks for this Rom. I tried to make it myshelf but i did some big mistakes:

1. I delted PCC's files.

2. I plugged out USB at flashing. OMG

3. Softbrick

4. Flashed 4.2.2

5. Tried to root it with DOOMLORD's method but i used another.

6. Installed Recovery

7. Installed you ZIP.

8. Flashed Kernel.

Yeah the Rom works, but i had a Problem. I need NUT's Remount fix.

9. Flashed NUT's Fix. Reboot.

10. Flashed old SuperSU. Bootloop.

11. Flashed Rom again and Downloaded SuperSU 1.8.6

12. Flashed NUT's fix and SuperSU 1.8.6. Reboot.

13. Done, now everything is working fine.

The Gravity Box Transparency effects aren't working with Sony's 4.3 Firmware. If you want a Transparent Status Bar you have to install the Xposed Module SystemUi Patcher and set it up.

I'm having audio stutter issues as I've posted in Q&A on this ROM. anyone got the same issue or a fix?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
On bluetooth?
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
It doesn't matter, Bluetooth or wired, same problem, only happens when the device is sleeping. I can't deal with it much longer, have tried reflash several times and tweaking various things as suggested around the net for 4.3 (disable wifi optimisation, switch CPU govenor to ondemand, disable wifi) nothing fixes it.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated so I don't have to switch back to 4.2.2.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I only have a small issue with audio on bluetooth which stops for a split second which I never had in 4.2 seems like a 4.3 issue but nothing else I'm afraid. I use this rom on a daily basis not modded and can't see many issues at all.
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
When you say it stops for a split second, do you mean just once? or many times? Because that's what mine does, every few seconds, it's unbearable.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Many times but not every few seconds like once/twice a minute or two so very bearable.

Was also on complete untouched stock
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
And only when listening to music on bluetooth in the car so I presumed it was a bluetooth compatibility problem
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
Thank you zippy01, at least I know I'm not the only one and that it's most likely a 4.3 issue, I'll switch back to 4.2.2 until Sony fixes it or releases 4.4.

Thanks for the nice ROM otherwise it runs great, sadly I can't deal with the audio issue (it makes me irritable :silly:).

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

I would have initially said its related to Google's new Bluetooth stack, but it happens with wired also and only when sleeping, seems like a "performance" issue with music playback/threading, again it's probably 4.3 specific.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Sorry I couldn't help no more :)
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
No apology necessary, you've saved me hours of trying to figure it out now I know it's not just me! Thanks again.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
It is strange though how it's not so frequent for me and only on bluetooth
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
The frequency changes, some times I get it once a minute, some times it's every few seconds. It did happen on wire yesterday but I'll test again now to confirm and report back.

EDIT: Ok, just re-tested, it's a bluetooth issue for certain, no stutter on wired. It must have been a red herring (false positive) yesterday when I had stutter on wired.

Annoying, It's totally impractical for me to remain wired so Unless I can tweak the bluetooth stack with configs I'll have to revert to 4.2.2 anyway.

EDIT2: Gah, I take it back, it's started on the wired connection too now!
[Xperia Z General] benzo:
Same bluetooth issue (NCB), not tested with wired connection, but reading everywhere on the net, the issue is google-related, not sony, in 4.2 firmware no issues.

I have also another bug, after a factory reset, if i synch google contacts in address book, dialpad not showing numbers pressed during a call.

Link to Sony support to check this bug
[Xperia Z General] nick2crete:
I dont have the issue with my bt ,same rom ,wtf?
[Xperia Z General] Heinous:
I am also having this audio problem. Stuttering while connected with bluetooth, both streaming and local audio. I don't want to go back to 4.2.2...
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
It seems like a bug in the new firmware :(
[Xperia Z General] Heinous:
I was messing around and seem to have found a temporary fix. I set my phone to daydream while docked (in the car), and the phone stays awake and the audio doesn't seem to stutter anymore. Not ideal, but it works (for me, at least) until we get an official update to fix it.
[Xperia Z General] Krog72:
Hello,

can you tell me why i need the Flash Stripped .ftf (Pos.4.):

If on 4.2 or 4.3 with a working recovery

1. Upload flashable zip to sdcard1

2. Flash with a working recovery

3. switch off

4. Flash Stripped .ftf

5. Reboot

6. Enjoy

Thx in advance

Regards

Krog
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
So you get a full 4.3 rom and minimise errors.

The zip is only the system partition
[Xperia Z General] NoSubstitute:
So far so good!

Only flashed and tested the camera quickly and it doesn't seem to mess up every photo anymore. :) Sadly, I think Sony did mess something up with the 4.3 camera.

Though, next time you create an FTF you should make sure to follow step 4 in this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311211

I'm pretty sure one should never flash someone else's TA files, so there's no point in including them in the FTF.

Anyone in the the know, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xperia Z General] SE_iCEQB:
How fast can you make those?

Is a generic DE (German) possible?
[Xperia Z General] beakerav:
am i missing something?

Hi Zippy01, thanks for your work and this solution.

Just what I needed, having had a rooted (LB) phone I stupidly installed the OTA 4.3 update and lost root, so your work was just what I needed.

But I just cant get this to work, keep ending up with my phone bootlooping (it displays Sony, then Experia, then the coloured animations, then screen freezes and boot starts again).

I'm able to recover by running SUS and re-installing 4.3

I've tried installing a different ftf (using androxyde flashtool) and get the same results.

I'd rather not unlock the bootloader, and I want to try and preserve my data/settings etc.

Hope someone can advise :)

p.s. I was using the generic uk files to do this
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Thanks for your input, the TA files will not flash anyway this method.

Do you mean that as a request?

Are you following the steps exactly? You should always start fresh when doing big updates. I tested this on my spare Xperia Z with no issues.

Best regards
[Xperia Z General] beakerav:
Thanks for quick response, yeah, followed steps to the letter.

The only thing I haven't done is ticked boxes to wipe cache and data, but maybe I need to do this.

If I wipe data will it clear all files on extSD?

Or perhaps if I removed extSD card before carrying out procedure I preserve my data, what do you think?
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
/wipe/data has no effect on external sd card.
[Xperia Z General] SE_iCEQB:
Yes :)
[Xperia Z General] beakerav:
Thanks, good to know, I'll have another try 2morro

(update) carried out the process again, this time checking the wipe data and cache options

all went well, phone currently syncing with the Google servers, great stuff :)

Thanks for your help and advice
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Glad you sorted it, as with upgrading big Android versions it is always advised to start fresh :)

Would this work on my Bell Xperia C6616?

[Xperia Z General] Manneman32:
I have downloaded all th files but I´m still somewhat confused. Can someone just give me a heads up?

1: The 4.2.2 and the 4.3 in the downloads are generic... meaning the have all the languages, right?

2: The Flashtool to use is 0.9.13... am I correct?

It has been a while since I messed around with Xperias so I wanna be extra careful.

Thanx guys!

[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Updated for the new NCB 101 Firmware let me know if any issues. It is ok to update to this and flash the stripped 101 ftf. You will not loose data!

If you want to start fresh I have also included the full (partially stripped) NCB 101 FTF for you to flash after the flashable zip

I have tested this on my own Xperia Z

Some noticeable fixes for me is SW2 works as intended and does not interfere with wifi. Yet to test streaming music or MHL sound.

It is still 4.3 but I'm sure 4.4 is on it's way :)

Display keeps on and stuff but I cant do anything. Im running Boeffla 2.2 kernelnand TWRP 2.7. I actualpy switched to TWRP because I thought it could help.
