issue with camera...

Thx [MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION]..for a great ROM..am reporting issue with camera on my XZU...when i ope camera phone just goes very slow and hangs....

I have tried without xpossed and with xpossed + modules installed..just in case..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yeah, camera can be a bit buggy at times, but not all the time, and to get third party camera apps to work you have to turn off HW overlays in dev settings
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] magnusaaa:
Stability issues

Finally spotting Slim on the zu stage. Have been waiting for this. Now: too many bugs and stability issues. Heading over to a more stable rom and hoping that the Slimolutions contnues. As sonn as acomplished I will come back to Slim...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Well how about trying this.....

SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 2.5 RC1

For root go to Developer options in Settings and under 'Root Access' change it to 'apps and adb'

Sorry its took longer than I thought... I was having issues with the sound. As soon as you tried to change anything in the sounds in settings, all the sounds went and the phone started freezing, so I thought it was me doing something wrong, but when I spoke to the Slim dev on Z1, he was having the same issues and the workaround was to go to DSP manager and turn bass boost on and the sounds then worked... which wasn't good enough for me, so I decided to try and work them out... it took me a while but it was just a case of reverting a couple of commits in the device files from CM

And now everything seems to work as it should... well from my limited testing and it was limited because as soon as I got most things working I started this reply lol :D

So enjoy....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Rom is working well Had to use a fuser script to get my ntfs card to work but that's no biggie. This will be my daily driver for awhile.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Thanks again for a new release, I WILL install this one, I'm still on the first release that you built

EDIT 1:

EEK... tab'd browsing has vanished in chrome, give it back :(

EDIT 2:

Set up Xposed again and it back, all is forgiven [MENTION=1862333][vertigo][/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vista109:
No bugs? Cheers and Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Camera apps still needs HW overlay off to display, so I guess some video apps do as well
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
Runs well.

One glitch I notice: When the phone is in loudspeaker mode, the microphone doesn't work. As an aside, this is annoying because the magnetic cord thing forces teh phone into loudspeaker mode.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramnod:
Tried this earlier but reverted back to MonXdified because of the camera issues and loudspeaker issues, I hope this gets fixed as soon as possible, I would love this to make my daily driver, it feels home. LOL

Thanks for the hard work!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Camera seems to work well if this is disabled, and not hit the loud speaker issue
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramnod:
Tried again, I really hope this becomes stable soon. Camera still shaky even with Hardware Overlay is disabled, and everytime I reboot I would need to disable it again. Getting erros as well with keep trying to access something and playstore needs a lot of time to load, I'm on 4g LTE
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Emilius:
Is there a problem with external sd card on SlimKat? I can not mount it or see it at all.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
working here ok

I did have issues sending an email from gmail today, just wont send
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Emilius:
I did full wipe and the flash rom and then ART full gaps. external sd card is not visible at all. I am back now to GPe and everything is fine again. I don't know what I did wrong.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Update is here guys....

SlimKat Build 2.6 RC2

H/W Overlay now works, so videos play and record just fine without having to turn it off in developer settings... Major thanks [MENTION=2492127]Kali-[/MENTION] for his work on the device files and kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Does this include the deepsleep fix in CM11?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
It has used the device files from CM from early yesterday so if its been added since then, then it probably hasn't, but now I know they've been added I will have another look and have another go at building tomorrow
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Quick question, would you be willing to build an updated Omni or Carbon rom? I like slimkat, but I crave more options. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
I was thinking of building either one of those... But having spoke to Krab he was on about updating those, but I will have a go at Omni as that is what I do for my G2
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Awesome man. Can't wait.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
H/W overlay is working as it should, but my ZU is still not going into deepsleep
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
[MENTION=1862333][vertigo][/MENTION]

Loudspeaker+ microphone also works now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Media volume not working
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Download this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector. See what app is running when it shouldn't be. My bet is you need to clear your data and cache for google play services.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
Works for me. It doesn't seem to work in Pandora, but in everything else it works fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You are correct in play services... crap coding from google. I had cleared data for it the otherday and I dont think if fully fixed the problem, but will tryagain.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
I've got mine to go into deep sleep now I've cleared data and cache from Play Services... Yay!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramnod:
Great, will try this now.. Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I had only cleared cache, nat data. just cleared data as well and we'll see how we go...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Nope still no deepsleep, even cleared cache and delvik from recovery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Use wake lock detector and see what is causing it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
It was location services within Google Play Services, and nothing I would do would allow deepsleep, although I got rid of the wakelocks. I was seeing about 80% of uptime in the wakelock

Did a bitof digging and changed service configs etc and still no deepsleep but less battery drain.

Long story short (DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS)

Completely remove Google Play Services with TI Backup, this should have allowed me to reinstall it but it hung on the uninstall and I couldn't get Play to load, lots of errors in search/maps/etc so I rebooted...

Play completely gone - no Google apps work... bugger

Reflash latest SlimKat update, still not working

Download CM11 gapps and flash, then update, youtube keeps crashing

uninstall youtube and reinstall

Looks like I have deepsleep again
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
I find this ROM smoother then the GPE one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
reenabled location services and now I cant get deepsleep again, even if I turn it back off.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Here we go guys as promised... OmniRom latest with a couple of cherry picks ;)

OmniRom 4.4.2 <------- Deleted

Just remember that you will have to flash SuperSU as well to have root from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Any major problems with it? RC2 should be playing nicely.

SlimKat RC2 dues not see my SD card again. What I am doing wrong here? Please help. I am coming from GPe rom and I have wiped everything except external SD card. Dues Slim Kat suport exFat? Do I need to format my 64 GB SD card to Fat32?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Most likely as i use fat32 and works perfect.

Well no, bit cm11 has a audio issue after being charged on dock contact. All audio dies, seems this has inherited that bug.

Other then that its pretty smooth sailing.

But I must wait until that bug is gone as I use my ultra as alarm wakeup and I can't be without sound then now can I ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Sorry about the previous Omni... Here is the one with the working Phone, which allows you to dial out ;)

OmniRom

I will look into media volume issue too as its the same on Slim as well
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Emilius:
Yes, after formatting my SD card to Fat32 everything works again. GPe rom works normally with exFat so I was assuming SlimKatt 4.4.2 will do the same. Well, I was very wrong.

To bad about that sound problem. I have a dock charger too. I hope the fix will come soon. Until then I am back to GPe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Any chance of getting a fresh carbon rom? It's the best rom I've tried for the xzu so far in my opinion. Just a request not a demand, lol.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Coolpsi:
Hello "Vertigo", first of all, thank you for your ROM. Having said that, after installing the Slimkat on a C6833, I realized that the camera does´'t work. Do you have any insight about that? Thank you very much in advance for your reply. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
It works for me; I just had cause to use it tonight on RC2.

Either disable HWOverlay in the Developer settings, or, as I needed to do, just de-focus the camera app (Hit home), and go back- it worked after that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
in RC2 HW overlays work in the camera, and 3rd party camera so no need to disable that now, the only other suggestion would be to wipe the data for the camera app in settings
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Coolpsi:
Good morning "Vertigo", please disconsider my last post, in fact, after rebooting the phone the camera are now working. Keep up the good work! :good:

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

Thank you "blueether", after rebooting the phone, the camera went ok! :victory:

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Thank you "Shadow of Chaos", apparently the phone just needed a reboot! ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Well you asked and here it is.....

CarbonRom 4.4.2
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
I've been waiting for this one!!! Thanks a million!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you...

I was going to try and get some stuff done tonight... Now I have my past favorite ROM to play with
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
This carbon rom needs it's own thread man, best rom out for the xzu. Solid build and speed, I Love it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
This is my first carbon and love it man.. thanks!

Just little problem about SElinux options, my tibu not 100% works, even SElinux changer cannot help it. But I can use other system uninstaller.

Changing user app to system app works on original cm11 but not on this rom. Would it possible to change the #superuser with superSU?

Thanks again!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Flash super su. I do it with every rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
Yes! It works!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
sotck kernel? have many govs and scheduler?

edit: hows the battery life?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
If you meant for carbon rom yes battery life is incredible and rom is solid as rock to me.

I came from aicp rom, flashed carbon boot image and then the rom and PA gapps.

I got random Sony logo flashing at the beginning but after 2 or 3 reboot it's gone.

Edit:

I found the media-audio & video not works while phone in dock (but notification-sound works), and have searched around for fix only got this FXP changelog indicating Fix audio with magnetic Dock/Charger (Z1, ZU)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 3ftguru:
Just flashed the SlimKat and Carbon comes back. Now i got to flash Carbon.... *grumble grumble* haha
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] estuardo4:
Hello,

In Carbon, where is the option to make the landscape keyboard to let you see the content of the page that you are writing on? It is located on the "Languages&Input" settings tab on other ROMs. But on Carbon is absent. Other than that, this ROM seems perfect. Thank you for porting this excellent ROM.

BTW, it may be a good idea to have separate threads for each ROM. You have Slimkat, OmniROM, and now Carbon on this thread.

Thank you very much for your help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Yes I agree with you, but when I spoke to Krab, he said he was going to update Carbon and Omni, so I didn't want to start a new thread if Krab was going to update them, but at this minute in time it looks like he is kinda busy so I might start new threads, but I honestly don't know how much time I will have to keep them all updated because I'm working on a personal project with a very good friend of mine which will see another rom coming to this device (hopefully!! Check my sig ;)) and that is what I'm concentrating on at this minute... although there should be a Slim update tomorrow.... looks like SlimPie has been added back too!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
As promised New Slim is here

SlimKat Build 3 PCFR

Enjoy :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] t0pstar:
And BeerGang? :D:sly::cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Hello,

Thank for your work.

I don't understand, your new version is v3. The 10 february SlimKat present v4.4.2 build.2.8.RC3. It's a same or your work come from older/other version?

Could you explain me what is the Android version to start building Slimrom by you and Slim official please?

And I read this from slimroms.net:

Jenkins just started the build for all devices. New devices are: p3100, p3110, p5100 and p5110. We will soon support new devices like Xperia Z1 (Honami)

Z1 and ZU are the same! :good:

EDIT:

Any changelog or release informations please? :)

What PCFR mean?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Right if you look at the rom zip you will notice that it is called Slim-togari-4.4.2.build.3.PCFR-UNOFFICIAL-20140213-1026.zip and that is the zip I got from my build, I've not altered it at all, so thats why I've called it that and anyone building the rom would end up with the same file name at the end. The build name is generally updated once a week, so the build from the 10th will have been from before it was updated

I sync this rom from the slimroms github so it is exactly the same as the official SlimKat roms, the reason it says unofficial is that I'm not a member of the slimroms team

Z1 and ZU are not the same, they are very similar but they are definitely not the same, so you shouldn't think about flashing a Z1 rom on your ZU, unless you want an expensive paperweight

The changelog should be on the slimroms website

Hope this helps :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Okay, I can see my english are not good like expected... :D

What I would know is why your version is called v3 when the latest SlimKat is v4.4.2 build.2.8.RC3 -> YOU = v3 / Slimroms= v2.8RC3.

I would know what is the starting ROM for your and Slimrom ROMs, I expect AOSP or CM for Slimrom, right? And for your one the ZU GPe ROM?

Thank, I know Z1 & ZU are not exactly the same, but if there is a ROM for Z1, work is apparently very easy to port to ZU and vice versa.

If they start with Z1, ZU will be supported soon or in the same time :good:

Changelog is from weekly build.2.6 RC2 on Slim website :p

What PCFR mean please?

EDIT:

The version 3 come with Nova launcher, I just have to install the prime version like this :D

There is not exFAT support :(

root access doesn't work, don't ask anythings, all is good in su settings.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Right I don't think you're understanding me... My build is called Build 3 because thats what SlimKat have called it, the name of each release has nothing to do with me... you will find that the latest Slim build is build 3 and I have no idea what the PCFR means you will have to ask the SlimRoms team about that.

I don't get why you've mentioned the Z1, why would I want to port the Z1 rom over when I can just build exactly the same rom for the ZU from the same sources, the Z1 getting officially supported will make no difference to the ZU rom apart from it being official, they will still be the same rom.

For root you need to go to developer settings and under root, change it from 'apps' to 'apps and adb'

So let me just clarify...........

Build 3 IS the latest SlimKat build... it is called Build 3 because that is what the SlimKat team have named it... I have nothing to do with how they name their roms.

The Z1 getting officially supported will in theory make no difference to the ZU rom as they will still be built from exactly the same sources

I hope I've made it clear for you now
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] t0pstar:
Is the recovery in slimkat twrp?

Or have I make something wrong?

Came from Carabon with Cwm.

I love your Carabon only miss halo
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Quick question [MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION], does the new build have the theme engine back? It's a must have for me. Looked at the features tree on their website and it shows its there. Would just like to confirm. Also btw, your carbon build is awesome. Will definitely be my daily rom for awhile.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
With carbon, do you have audio problem when the phone in dock or in charging? Typing and video sound not works on me but notification sound does.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VipiN'n'DroiD:
Unable to place calls

HI .. i don't know if only me or anyone else facing the same issue here.. I am actually unable to place calls since I updated to SlimKat Build 3 PCFR .. I am from India and using 'TATA Docomo' as Operator ..

as soon as I hit the call button .. it disconnects, signal bars goes empty and Shows "Out of Service Area' ..

Plz help .. I don't wanna go back to RC2 :(:(:(:(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramnod:
Question:

Does this come prerooted or no?

I have root access came from MonxDified, after installing this I lost it... Flashed SuperSU from recovery and I got the root access back, but I believe this comes with Superuser by default, so which one should I use?

Also I'm getting an error with google play services "unkown issue with google play services" when I go to google now, although it has been updated already....

TIA!

Also getting this when trying to place a call....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Actually haven't tried yet. Will On Monday.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
All is OK now, thanks!

I talk about Z1 only beacause the official support is a good new :)

For root, App & ADB are selected, but don't work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
root is working fine here...

Anyone else having issues with the screen turning off when placing a call and not turning back on when removed fron your ear?

It turning off when placing a call is problematic as you then cant use speaker or on screen num-pad, also cant terminate the call.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
understand this is not a Carbon ROM thread but after trying all variants (some of them twice), finding Carbon to be the most stable. Some features in aicp/aokp are great to have in lockscreen control over which power menu items show up etc but finding this carbon build to work very well. You should start a Carbon thread (for some reason the official site does not load up) Many many thanks for your work!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
me too.. cannot make phone calls.. spent an entire day customizing the rom endlessly and getting all apps installed... didnt notice i couldnt make calls until now... was able to send receive sms, whatsapp, use internet...

[MENTION=1862333][vertigo][/MENTION] nice smooth customizable rom, but without being able to make calls, beats the point of keeping this beautiful rom on my phone.. so so i hope you or someone else can figure whats causing this issue for me and the 2 others who's reported the and come up with a fix..

for now.. i'm gonna take a nandroid and then wipe/flash the new carbon build you've posted.. so if the problem with outgoing calls gets fixed later, i can always restore slimkatzzzzzzzzz... now i hope i can make calls on carbon :P

UPDATE:

It just occurred to me now that prior to flashing SlimKat on my ZU yesterday, I'd flashed a 290 FTF to downgrade kernel, baseband, etc from stock 136, to see if that would fix any of the problems I had been having on AICP and BAM roms. And later, when i decided to flash slim, I'd totally forgotten to upgrade back to 136. Could that be the reason for my phone being unable to make calls?

Anyway, I'm going to do that now. Shame I won't get to save or backup all the ROM customizations I had made yesterday.. My apps and data will be backeduip on my SD card thru helium.. A nandroid from cwm will not help right? When I restore after flashing 136 again, the nandroid will render my efforts pointless by restoring 290 stuff back again right?

since there twrp on slim, i will try backup on twrp for the first time.. I'd noticed some features earlier to select what pecifically to restore from backup..

Anyway, its no big deal.. I will just make those customizations again.. And i keep a copy of my current build.prop anyway and see if restoring that file alone in system folder would restore any of the changes I had made...

Sorry for being such a noob... Been on android ecosystem only since June last year...

Anyway, will let u know if I can make calls after flashing slim from stock 136.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MadCobbler:
Try to download again from the op... The first version I released had issues with making calls, there is a commit I have to add to fix that, but it seems that it didn't fix it this time for some reason, so I had to fix after the build and I re-uploaded the fixed rom to the op. Sorry guys about the problem, I just presumed it would be OK as I'd added the commit that should've stopped this issue...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
just in time mate... i'd just booted back to the rom after taking a backup on twrp and noticed i'd been quoted on XDA... hihi :D

downloading the build from 14th feb right now... i can just dirtyflash this build right? and maybe gapps too? n wipe cache/dalvic... no need to wipe everything n fresh install, no?

UPDATE:

Thank u so much mate. I can make calls again n managed to retain all my crappy modz... I haz the perfect ROM now :)

p.s: BeerGang ROM must be the bomb since u're using it yourself :p

I use this xposed module to run cm11 themes on ROMs without Theme Manager

Install ur fav themes from play store or side load, then install this module.

Make sure u turn on "Search for cm themes" in settings.

You can combine elements from multiple themes too.. Watch out for bootloops if u combine.. Just flash disablehkthememanager.zip or sometime like that from ur internal SD if bootlooped
