thanks Rupant

any tips or fixes that i need to install ? just making sure i get it right as i really like this phone & want it to work fine afterwards. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Rupant:
Well nothing to be done just leave the phone for few minutes as told after installing .

If you install 3.0.3 update, you do flash audio fix. That's all nothing much to be done.

Good luck ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
thanks very much Rupant.

yes i will be installing the update. :) did you install it ? also does the notification light bar works fine as in stock 4.3 ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
what do u mean u emailed sony for unlock code you just have to follow the guide and u should recieve it straight away ive done it numerous times always got it straight away just try refreshing emails after following guide which is here http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/:p
[Xperia SP Android Development] Rupant:
Yes i did install it.

Well can't say about notification light bar much. ?

In walkman it's not working i think (not so sure) during charging it's working for me.

Well you can try illumination bar app rest is yours choice. ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
that's exactly what i did & they did not reply to me !!!! i searched google & it looks like i'm not the only one.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
then im not sure i never had problem with it sorry i could not help:(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Rupant:
Well i got it it straight away. ?

Make sure you enter only 15 digits of your imei no. ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i did not get to the imei stage,first when you go to sony's website you have to enter your email & then they send you email with link,this email i did not get yet.

[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
why do i keep getting fc errors
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i used new email address + internet explorer instead of opera & it worked,i now have the code so will start the bootloader unlocking in few minutes.
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i have finished installing everything inc the OTA update v3.0.3 + audio fix. all seems gone well & i'm really impressed with Omessy7 work here :good:,my xperia sp feels like latest xperia release,shame on Sony because the xperia sp deserves to look & feel this good it's really is a very good quality phone.still early days but hopefully my phone will be stable. thanks to the kind members here who helped me update my phone.:good: & thanks too to google search :p
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:

I know this happens you should push t any other z2 home(by gamzekal )into system/app

With correct permission... it will solve your prob.. You can also use z3(by shahaab ) home... It is awesome.. But first do backup...

Happy to help
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
thanks for the advice

i'm looking at the thread by sahaab but not sure which apk's i need to download as they all say noroot !!! i'm little confused by this.

[Xperia SP Android Development] Dark Mist:
Do you use latest Vanir Nightlies?
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
Hi !

I've been using the ROM over the last two days, I ran into several issues at first but it's really good now.

Here are the changes I made to make the ROM suit me, apart from Xposed, bloatwares removal, GravityBox and GEM Xperia Xposed :

- Replaced the big icons home with the Xperia Home 6.3.A.0.7, best version in my opinion.

- Newest Z3 Keyboard and Walkman : http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-z3-keyboard-t2868406

- Xperia KitKat Theme by ashishdubey (http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/cm11-xperia-kitkat-theme-xperia-t2867462) : Style, font, icons.

- Using Williams kernel v4 seams to have solved the touchscreen responsiveness issues.

Now there are certain issues I still have, if anyone has an idea I'd be happy to hear it :

- WiFi not working on secured networks, it connects when I manually configure the settings but no network communication. Works fine on .207.

- Using GravityBox, a second battery indicator appears. Related to Xperia SystemUI, sad.. ^^

- The quicksettings layout looks weird, and the status bar background gets black (see top of screenshot)

- I might try to find a new SystemUI more compatible with GravityBox and having the Xperia look..

- Any advice on something working as Stamina on Stock ? Battery drops quicker..

Which brings me to : Thank you Omessy7, the ROM is really what I wished for, the design difference with the stock JB is minimal :).

your tip didn't work for me,i tried placing it in priv_app & still the same crash glitch. hopefully it will be fixed in next update. i also get album crashed error when rebooting the phone !!
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
okay im gonna flash this rom this evening but tell me about battery life and ram management ... or any fc you are facing is there any stock camera ? i want a little review from you :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] s1llhoute:
How about the touch responsiveness of this rom ??

Is it close to stock rom or worse like cm11??
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
I successfully fix the bug xperia home fc when unistalling an app from the system tray
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
in the 2 days i had this rom for i can say battery life is good & i think much better than stock 4.3 in stand by (i need more time to tell),i hardly bother with checking ram because most of my files are on 32gb mem card,there is 2 or 3 camera apps one of which is HD camera ultra,i just pressed the side camera button & got error sorry camera stopped but pressed it few times more & it worked everytime just first time error !! also every time i apply new ICONS i get the usual stopped error message but icons still fully install. although there are few glitches & error messages this is great looking rom i'm glad i upgraded from stock & i look forward to Omessy7's great work & updates if he's still making them for this phone. :)

touch is just as good as stock if not better.

can you please explain this step for me: (( if you want z3 home after that push home_superuser.apk by shahaab in system/app)) ?

what do you mean by push ? also do i rename it the same name as the original file ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
if you already have z3 home then you dont need to push it again (push = put that file via file manager into system/app and set permission r-w-r-r)

have you flash that osb home z2 ?? if no then do it first if yes then enjoy :P
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i already have but instead of setting permission i clicked install. should i uninstall it & start again

no dont unistall it !! :) just flash that file !

@Adrian DC

which file did you remove in order to delete album ? i'm also getting album fc & would like to stop those error messages. thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
Just remove the SemcAlbum.apk from /system/app/, or use Titanium Backup to uninstall the Album application.
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
done thanks very much,i used explorer with root access to delete it,i know i can use titanium to do it which can also do back up but i have not yet installed it. i may do later on.
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
no leave it as home_superuser.apk it is z3 home ... after flashing z2 home by gemzekal .. when you reboot it .. it ask you to which home you want to run as default ..

[MENTION=587154]adrain[/MENTION] DC

im facing prob in typing it is soo much slow .. i type the whole sentence and on screen it is still typing ..

i have z3 keyboard too .. which keyboard you are using ??
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
I'm using the 6.4.A.1.44 Sony Keyboard and it works great.

Which kernel are you using ? Did you test Williams kernel ?

I'm having WiFi issues and can't find a way to fix it, the WiFi connects to the secured network but no data is transfered..
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
no im on stock kernel ... okay williams kernel v5 ?? or willaims kernel v4 ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
v4, v5.1 is only for the stock 4.3 ROMs.

However, my battery is quite bad... I miss the Stamina features.
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
im not getting this rom !! this is based on .207 kernel or cm 11 kernel ???

first i was using it with doomkernel v13 then with stock .207 kernel now you are using willaims v4 .. which is for cm 11
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
Stock ROM is Sony JB 4.3, KitKat ROM wasn't released by Sony for the SP, this ROM is based on CM11.

Therefore, using CM kernel is much more advised then Stock kernels.
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
yes but i think this rom is based on stock kernels .. as i tried cm 11 willaims v4 and i got a bootloop

and from the beginnig i was using doomkernel v13 it worked ,, then stock kernel .207 it worked ..

are you using williams kernel cm 11 version 4 or willaims kernel v4 for 4.3 ??
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i did rename it & over write the original file. is this a problem ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
no you just change the name it still perform the same function !

so you still facing that glitch
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
yes still performing same & no more uninstall glitch but the clock widget is gone & the replacement one is not as good but i'm fine with that. thanks you :good:

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

anyone else noticed that speaker phone is not as loud as it was on stock 4.3 ? to me it sounds like it's on volume is at half when in fact volume is at max !!

Try to freeze / disable the SoundEnhancement.

i have disabled it the first time i tried to play mp3 file because the sony player couldn't play the file but once i disbled it the file ran ok. the issue i'm having is with the speaker phone volume been low at max volume. before at stock 4.3 it was loud & clear.
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
no im returning to steve build .. the best for me !! and use system app remover or root app delete .. to unistall system app !! ..im saying unistall sound enhancemnet apk there is no point to keep in system when it is useless
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
oh i see & is steve build based on kitkat ? & why is it better ? any improvements over this rom ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
No comparison in rom you can give a try.... First tell me which kernel you are using

curiosity makes me feel alive ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i don't think i will test any other rom as this one is good enough for me although the low speaker phone volume will always bug me.

About the battery matter and the Stamina features missing CM11,

I just started using Qualcomm's Snapdragon BatteryGuru.

Looks like all Stamina features are there, and even more ;).
[Xperia SP Android Development] kmiloxdxd:
Battery icon is fixed?

??
[Xperia SP Android Development] Omessy7:
How is everyone doing ?

Anyone got any bug that is NOT covered in Notes or already discussed ? I lost track of posts. :p

Things are getting serious each day so you might not see me replying or posting for about 6 months in a row.
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
the bugs i have experienced are:

when trying to uninstall app from home launcher the home launcher crashes.i fixed it by installing home launcher z2

album crashes. i fixed it by deleting the apk & using alternative album app from google play

when i apply new icons system crashes but icons still apply.

the volume on the speaker is low,before on stock rom everyone in the room can hear the person speaking at the other end now it's that low i can just about hear it myself. this is most annoying thing for me as i used to use this feature all the time.

i will report back if i find more bugs or if i forgot any.

this rom is amazing thanks a lot for your brilliant work. :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
In addition to what agantai listed, I would add the SystemUI glitches,

for example the double battery icon when the custom one is activated in GravityBox.

I also kind of dislike the notifications panel design, the status bar gets black and looks weird with the transparent layout of the Home screen,

I miss the nice design of the stock notifications panels, or at least have the GravityBox QuickSettings working.

(I know, not easy on the Sony SystemUI... Any other working SystemUI that are similar ?)

At least changing the statusbar battery text color to white would be good, the grey isn't easily readable.

There's also a matter of battery consumption, I'm having half the autonomy I had on stock with the same configuration.

I really miss the Stamina mode. I started using Qualcomm Battery Guru, it made things better, but still not perfect..

Battery is drained too much with the screen off, which is less subjective than with the screen on.

Any advice, kernel ?

As for the Theme, I highly prefer the Xperia KitKat Theme by ashishdubey : http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/cm11-xperia-kitkat-theme-xperia-t2867462

The new update just fixed the layout issues it previously had.

Edit : Remembered an other issue, it isn't much but just in case you want to know :

Thank you ! :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Omessy7:
[MENTION=5237123]agantai[/MENTION] Thank you for reporting. I am aware of the uninstall bug and will try to fix whenever i get some long vacation maybe or just some good time. The phone call volume quality can be fixed by flashing the patch provided (Check OTA release posts).

[MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION], Thanks for reporting. The double icon when using GB Moodule is because of what i said earlier that the Z2 systemUI isn't much flexable and customizable aside from the AOSP-CM SYSUI. Thats why not all status bar tweaks and customs work.

-I did not get what where you pointing at with grey texts...

- For the battery I really think that draining could happen but basically it's more related to usage. Anyway make sure you have NFC off-Bluetooth-and auto rotation off when not needed. Also you can check in stats the app-service that is draining your battery and workaround it.

- I saw reports that other kernels will not work well with the ROM so please use the kernel supplied, any bugs on other than this kernel will not be supported.

-Got it :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
- Yes expected that for the SysUI, was just in case a modification to match the original one was possible.

- For the grey battery text, watch the "original" icon of your ROM, ignore the right one from GB :

- I pay a lot of attention to the battery draining on any ROM, also did on my old Xperia Arc S,

and believe me when I say I have the same configuration on this ROM that I had on the stock one,

by that I mean same applications, only needed apps are present and some even frozen if unnecessary for daily use,

same Greenify configuration with only a few needed apps that aren't hibernated and so on.

I'm mostly not annoyed by the fact that the "used" phone with screen on and network activity is draining battery,

but more concerned about the way the battery is falling when the phone is inactive.

On stock ROM, I really could use in my "normal way" the phone for about 2-3 days without concern for the battery,

but here, even with the best effort, trying to have some Stamina Mode features with Battery Guru and even lowering the CPU top speed,

I can't go by a full day without having to charge by night when dropping to 10-20%.

For example, the overnight battery loss, where the flight mode is turned on automatically, I loose 3-5%, where I'd loose 1% max before.

I'm just trying to find a way to make this great KitKat ROM completely reliant for me,

and by that I also mean that I'll directly advise and reinstall the SPs of some friends

when I'll be able to consider it an equivalent, dare I say much much better, alternative to stock ^^.

- Yeah I forgot to ask you about that, you talk about the supplied kernel in various posts,

but (and forgive me if I'm wrong) there aren't any given in the v3 and v3.0.3 versions.

I came on the ROM when the v3 was released so I'm might download the previous versions

to find the img or elf included in it, but I wanted to make sure we're talking about the same kernel.

Tx ! ;)

[MENTION=4913069]Omessy7[/MENTION] i did already apply the sound patch after installing the update. will it be ok if i apply it again ? and should i wipe dalvik & cache after the patch ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] [==)BULLET(==]:
[MENTION=4913069]Omessy7[/MENTION] Thanks for this great rom. Everything is working like a charm except for the album force close (which I don't mind).

However the only issue is that I couldn't find the dancing led lights with Walkman, could you please integrate an app for rhythmic lighting while playing music which would make this a complete and almost perfect rom.

Waiting for reply!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Omessy7:
[MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] Thanks, Got it.

-This is how you report bugs. Just the way Adrian DC did.

[MENTION=5237123]agantai[/MENTION] do it once after you boot into ROM.

[MENTION=4175472][==)BULLET(==][/MENTION] Album still works even with some random crashes. As for the Walkman lights, currently i could not do anything for it. Maybe if I get some time later.
[Xperia SP Android Development] agantai:
i already did that as i followed your instructions very carefully. ;)

i have updated the walkman player & the keyboards from links posted by Adrian DC i also installed kitkat launcher 1.1 also suggested by Adrian DC. this rom now is great :good:
