Thanks Dipesh, Dark-Lord!

:good::good:

Question: if I had

not yet

installed Dipesh V2.1 update, do I still need to delete framework-res.apk. before installing Dark-Lord's V2.1 udpate?
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Hope this update fixes the EXPANDED DESKTOP glitch of your ROM [MENTION=5440906]dipesh1502[/MENTION]

When trying to enable, only the NAVBAR disappears but the Home launcher still sticks to its default screen size, i mean the DOCK icons stay where they were and they don't come down to the bottom of the screen as what the function normally do:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
If you have downloaded the mediafire update first and flashed it for them delete the framework-res.apk from system/app

For those who directly downloaded the update for the 1st time from devhost Just flash it
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
I need a screen

Btw in the new

Update the nav bar size is reduced hope it helps:D
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:

I just checked my GB. I had these settings:

Hope that works. The text in my statusbar is green.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ohmygel:
No changes, still looks empty bro.

[MENTION=5440906]dipesh1502[/MENTION] hello my friend, i really like this rom. Brother is there any way to make it black without flashing again your other rom? I think black saves more battery consumption than the white.

How can i change the home button in the nav bar to xperia?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
1.Decompile SystemUI.apk

2.Browse to res/drawable-xhdpi

3.find ic_sysbar_home.png and ic_sysbar_home_land.png

4.replace it with xperia pngs taking care of the resolution

5.recompile

6.sign

7.move to system/app with permisions rw-r-r

The xperia pngs must have same name as original
[Xperia SP Android Development] smogf:
Is Kernel included in v.2 ?? Or I have to flash stock or advanced before/after installing??

I really dont understand install instructions for Unlocked BL.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Bazilli:
If u have recovery and root just wipe and flash, kernel is included. If not, flash first Advanced Stock Kernel and then V2.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
I tried my best to keep the instructions easy

1.fastboot adv stk kernel .266

2.enter recovery

3.flash rom(wipe data if u want a clean install)

4.flash su

5.flash recovery

6.reboot
[Xperia SP Android Development] Naveen004:
Now I am in STOCK 12.A.2.254. already have recovery..AND bootloader unlocked..

Do I need to flash advanced stock kernel

If yes how do I install with flashtool or what
[Xperia SP Android Development] smogf:
Off top :) - I though (and hope :)) that someone who unlocked bootloader know what for he/she did it. I really hope so.

So I think will be ok:

1. Flash rom with full wipe via recovery

2. SuperSU fix - as always in 4.3

3. Flash recovery or .201 kernel with recovery

Summary - after installing ROM I will have stock Kernel without recovery - Right?? - thats all I want to know :S
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
Why do u want to flash .266 kernel again after flashing the rom???

recovery.zip will do the work of getting recovery in the rom

once you flash the rom forget about the kernel its already in built
[Xperia SP Android Development] Naveen004:
I am in 12.a.2.254 Rom

Do I need to flash advanced stock kernel by doomlord
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
if you have unlocked bl follow the instructions i just posted
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
LOL i purposely added the latest stock kernel in the rom so that there was no need of using flashtool again and again

So its for convienience

why are people getting confused over it?

is it that tough?
[Xperia SP Android Development] smogf:
Tipmistake .201 of course.

But I want to know if recovery is preinstalled or no :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
Rom is based on .201 and .201 kernel is included

so when you flash the rom the kernel also gets flashed

there is no recovery in the rom so you have to flash it seperately
[Xperia SP Android Development] smogf:
Thank You.

Force Close on USB Debuging :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Derkz:
I have a problem, I followed the steps exactly and when I reboot after installing the ROM, SU & Recovery the light goes green, vibrates twice and keeps doing it. Just to be sure am I meant to wait for it to boot like that?
[Xperia SP Android Development] ohmygel:
Sorry i can't understand :-S i don't know what decompile and sign means and xperia pngs. :-S Anyway thank you bro.
[Xperia SP Android Development] poccoyo:
did it say that you have successfully installed or completed the installation of the rom, supersu, and recovery?..
[Xperia SP Android Development] wiidbzxt:
This is my first Custom ROM on my XSP. Thank you for it, it is awesome.

I have two questions (not complaints):

1) Now that I'm rooted, is there a way to make BE2 work?

2) Can I make the app tray a little bit darker?
[Xperia SP Android Development] TechKiel:
Confirming system ui force closing on USB Debugging.

Also, I cannot access my phone via adb as it is stuck to:

error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

no such confirmation dialog appears on my phone. :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
In my case i got fc for the first time and then it worked properly
[Xperia SP Android Development] TechKiel:
Yes. After the 1st force close, it would behave properly (although it would force close again after I replugged the usb cable). However, the phone doesn't authenticate with adb.exe. D:

EDIT: Solved by manually pushing systemui.apk. However, transparency seems to be lost.
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrjraider:
Hi OP,

This ROM has some great potential but this is the second time that after following your guide step by step my phone ends in a bootloop.

Could you please check this?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
Tell the steps

Locked bl or unlocked bl?

The problem is in the recoveries mate

:(
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrjraider:
Locked. Followed step by step and yet again bootloop. I hear the bootsound and poof off. And start again.

At the moment I'm reflashing stock. But the recoveries needs to be checked because this is annoying :P
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
At the moment we have recoveries from dssmex only

I think nut recovery not working

You can try them both

With different recoveries cwm/twrp

I am on unlocked bl so it becomes easy:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] tomzzi:
FC on USB debuggin still present. I had this problem with every version of your rom...
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:

Hope it fixes that
[Xperia SP Android Development] tomzzi:
Does Ultimate BlackSP V3 use same systemui?
[Xperia SP Android Development] wiidbzxt:
I had no problems while installing on my locked BL C5306.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dipesh1502:
And the recovery used was?
[Xperia SP Android Development] wiidbzxt:
This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649923

I used the install.bat file to install it while on 4.1.2, and then the flashable one after flashing your rom.

I also installed your black themed apps and it worked fine too. Well, I lost the statusbar from 4.4, but I liked the 4.3 one better anyways.

Again, great job. I like this ROM a lot.

Build.prop and init.d tweaks are controversial issues

Some people say that they really impprove but some people dont believe it.

About the camera tweaks i cant test it because i already got scratches on my camera lens.so i cant find the difference.if u wanna try then

1st backup your original build.prop so that you can revert back.

Try the media profiles tweak it will work i suppose

When activate it it removes gradient status + nav bar -> makes them full or semi trasparent. One more thing... Is there any way to keep the old notificaton settings - like in 4.1.2, instead of separate notification/toggles, but to keep the gradient nav and status bars ?!? As far as I`m understanding it - both things are part of systemui /if I`m not mistaken/, and maybe this is impossible...

I`m not rushing :). I know that ROM developing isnt your /or anybodys here/ main goal in life so take your time ;)
