Unthemed Settings

A little problem...

After install black edition, all is black themed except settings still white background :confused:

I change and test all themes, settings windows still white...( all the rest is perfectly black themed)

How can I solve this?

Thanks for your fantastic work and for offer us, in my opinion, the best rom for our SP :good:

OTA Update :silly:

eXistenZ Ultra 1.0.5 (OTA)

PRESS VOLUME DOWN when the phone reboot and flash update manually (sdcard/OTA-Updater-download)

;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Revontheus:
Can anyone upload the zip version of update :) thanks and may I know if this also has that bootloop problem
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
there is no bootloop problem! Read install instructions!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Killawave:
Update DOne...manually. Worked fine.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Masteq:
I second that, since for now i don't have any internet connection. Somebody kind enough?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Beartd:
Have same problems with you, after compare to page1 my setting theme is white, calender, clock, contact theme are black and blue not black and red like page1. Any idea whats wrong with our problems? :confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] mansoorarb:
Flashed update...... But just found out bug in recovery.....

Cannot mount sd card in philz recovery....

Cannot mount external sd card in normal cwm recovery.....

Anyone else facing this:confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Amin.HVS:
Dear niabok79:

I know you worked very hard over the past few days have been difficult, but we are very grateful for your efforts! :fingers-crossed:;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
everybody ;)

There are no perfec recovery yet, all of them have some problems, that's why I said to use TWRP recovery ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
This is normally not possible since the flashing of the rom delete system folder so it replace all apk...

Have you done a fresh install? Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik?

If no results, move Settings.apk from system/app to system, reboot and move it back ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
I want to tell you a big Thanks for this comment (I know that you are not the only one ;) ) ;)

People are complaining like hell and don't see the hundreds of hours of work between this rom.

I am not an "apk pusher", that means that I am not simply compiling different mods and apk found elsewhere. I am doing all what's inside my roms, that's the main difference between me and others :cyclops:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Amin.HVS:
Yes, that's right. I totally understand this. ;)

Editing system files, synchronization of apps that are related to other phones & Different Firmware and their porting work really hard and time consuming.

Admittedly difficult to make a custom rom.

Thank you again for your great efforts ;)

Can anyone upload zip fie OTA update?
[Xperia SP Android Development] lvints:
For those who can not download by following the link for mobile download via pc. Credits to user [MENTION=5736330]Spalman[/MENTION].
[Xperia SP Android Development] Revontheus:
I'm just going to download ROM zip then unzip it then paste all the files from the OTA, add a few build.prop tweaks and some init.d and rezip it so that I won't have to flash so many stuff

:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
"From an other eXistenZ:

Reboot in TWRP recovery (Volume DOWN when phone reboot), Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.

Unmount System, Flash the rom AND SuperUser fix ( https://mega.co.nz/#!lY1hHYqC!J9ireB...d8QK8XnkgdX_FE )"

Need confirmations about updates:

Now no flash with CWM?

No flash 266 kernel after rom needed?
[Xperia SP Android Development] mansoorarb:
If you are flashing this over existenz ultra 2.0, then your kernel is already updated.... No need to again flash the kernel....... Just wipe cache nd dalvik cache nd flash the rom......nd then the supersu fix.....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
In reality...you can't please everyone, and you should always be ready to accept feedback, some negative...and some positive, in the end...its the love for your work and the people who appreciated that always counts...nonetheless, you really did a good job:thumbup:

P.S. There's some problem with the performance settings, on the SD card read ahead, i'm trying to set it at lowest value (128kb) and tick set on boot but after rebooting, it returns to its default value which is 2048mb. Any solution...?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Beartd:
I come from existenz 1.3.7 before, yes i have tried wipe data, cache and dalvik. Just try your solution but still no luck. Its not a big problem for me anyway. Thank you for your awesome rom, I never using stock because of your fantastic rom :cool:

Sorry for my bad english.. ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] KhrisnaIndrawan:
Upgrade from white version . Now im on black version 1.0.5 . Great rom niaboc79 :D .
[Xperia SP Android Development] Killawave:
Not all people.

There is one more important thing...you do it for "free" and it is not an obligation.

So...thank you for your hard and good work.

As you are a good developper...have you seen my special request?

Change white edition to black edition

Great, great job. I love eXistenZ, and I love Niaboc...

I have white edition, with last update 2.1.5...

Is there any way to change from white edition to black edition, without losing settings, applications, etc.,

You could not make a patch to switch easily from one to another version without losing data?

Thanks!!!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] AlphaBravo:

I was waiting for this Black themed ROM from Niaboc.. Downloading.. Xcited :) :fingers-crossed: :p:p:cyclops::good:

Can we again switch to white version?? Like wipe cache & dalvik.... And 2.0.0 and then ota 2.1.5... Isn't??

[Xperia SP Android Development] dosimple12:
what you mean Check All Goo Apps and the outomatic backup?? sory i dont understand :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Seems a great ROM so far, just a shame Sony's 4.3 itself was not great to begin with. Your version makes 4.3 bareable!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
I mean open all google apps and check if something is not trying to synchronize in background.

Open all google settings and turn off location.

Check if the automatic synch of data is not enabled.

Etc

"Envoyé depuis mon C6603 avec Tapatalk"
[Xperia SP Android Development] dosimple12:
i have check it all.. everythink is OFF Synch data and Location.. but still same..

If i want to reflash your ROM, i can just flash your ROM again through TWRP with Factory Reset and Clear cache and dalik?? or i must come back to 257 again?? sorry bad english :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
Simply flash with TWRP, also let your phone settle à few days ;)

Clarification about recovery

Before (white edition) PhilZ recovery seemed to be recommended.

Since and for this update, TWRP is recommanded.

Ok but now what is really recommended to install, make nandroid,...

without mount problem, conflict, bootloop,...?
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
I installed this rom as what the proper procedure should on flashing roms and did not face any bootloops...the rom booted normally as any newly installed rom should behave. However, i used a different cwm and did not use that stated in the OP.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

Any solution for the SD read ahead values not sticking on boot? Higher read ahead values causes interruptions on walkman. Had this issue on your previous rom on 4.1 and i found that sd tweaks caused such glitches. I'm using class10 memory card.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Hi [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] just a few things

1) On the messaging app when a message is unread and you're on the main view of the app the text is black and hard to read, can this be made white like the text within the conversation?

2) Is it possible in your ROM to change the default camera image save names from DSC0001.jpg etc to use timestamps instead? This would be really handy for people like me who move their images about alot and currently get duplicate filenames.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Steph310:
First, you and your rom are the best :good:

I come from CM11 and I think this improved Sony 4.3 rom is the best I've experienced ;)

My feedback:

1. Confusion about recovery:

Now TWRP for updates, and for the rest, TWRP too?

Not PhilZ recovery same reconnanded before?

For Nandroid, install,...

2. Sometimes bootloop when reboot phone. Need first switch off then start or use recovery then start system.

3. My Sony agenda lost my google calendars... I can't select them. Solved if I install too Google agenda :confused:

I wipe data, reinstall, check all Google sync,...

4. My AppPicker is still white and not themed.
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
1) All recoveries are in beta stage, I am thinking about something who will replace that.

2) Xposed module...

3, 4) Do a fresh install
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
1) I will maybe changed that to something else ;)

2) Not easy at all to implement.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Thanks Niaboc! No problems on No.2 was just a nice to have still the best 4.3 ive tried, seems very stable and performance a lot better than stock.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Is anyone else having any wifi issues? If i launch wifi from the quick settings sometimes it doesnt turn on and other times it just turns itself off no matter how i've turned it on.

Installed from existenz black 1 then updated via OTA afterwards, everything else seems to be ok.

Does Stamina Mode work in Black Version. I had no problems with white version. But on this. Dont work for me.

Some info first:

Before installing rom was made FULL wipe, incl internal memory.

I have also clean data from eco mode controller. (first stamina mode off, than clean, and turn on again - standby time changed)

After turning Stamina Mode ON I recieve all e-mails, hangouts, whatsapp messages, notifications from communities. I dont know how it work when connected to wifi, but for mobile data Stamina Mode just dont work :(

Pure black bootanimation eXistenZ for SP

I love pure black style then I created my own bootanimation.

I change too bootanimation sound for more discreet one.

Always make nandroid backup before flashing anything!

To install bootanimation:

1. Put "Bootanimation eXistenZ Pure Black SP.zip" in your SD card,

2. Reboot recovery and flash zip,

Restart and enjoy!

To uninstall and recover default bootanimation:

Simply delete "bootanimation.zip" located in data / local
[Xperia SP Android Development] Revontheus:
If you don't want to use OTA update and flash manually, all you have to do is get the bluetooth.apk and bluetooth_ext.apk and whitebalance.apk from any 4.1.2 ROM you downloaded then push to system/app then give rw-r-r permissions
[Xperia SP Android Development] vithursan:
I would like to know if the White and the black édition is the same only the thème colour is différents or It's another rom in black theme.

You have to reboot to recovery and install it from there, it should be located internal storage > OTA-updater.

I'm having a Issue with this ROM (and with 4.3 stock too).

I did a restart and everything works perfect. But after some time the applications doesn't open anymore (Facebook app, Candy Crush, etc). They just close, no messages appears.

Then it is necessary to do a restart again, and everything works again.

I believe that it's a Memory Manager problem. Anyone with this problem?

I did a Fresh Installation. I have a XSP C5303 with Unlocked Bootloader.

Sorry for my poor English.
