Currently on 8.20 , can i dirty flash latest stable in order to avoid the full wipe? Has anyone else tried it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Natakranta:
I don't own Z Ultra, but on Nexus 5 and OnePlus One I had no problems dirty flashing 9 over 8.20.

Download last Slim Gapps Dec.29 from Dankoman's Basketbuild. Don't use

Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385

They have outdated Play Store and Google Play Services, you will have problems connecting to your Google account.

In TWRP make nandroid just in case.

Wipe these 3: cache, system, dalvik.

Flash SlimKat 9

Flash Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.STABLE.9-FINAL(NON-TRDS).zip (or normal or full)

Reboot.

Enjoy :D

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.

Is this normal... My android OS percentage is to high.. Is that eating my battery... Any advice please
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
no, not normal. install juicessh or some other terminal for android and check out to see what processes eat cpu. run something like

top -m 10 -d 2

-m 10 says show Max 10 processes, -d says refresh with a Delay of 2 seconds

exit either with ctrl+c and then ctrl+d, or kill the terminal emulator, or exit it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
You need to install something like "better battery stats" apk in order to provide us with more information. There are many different services under the Android OS in order to tell you something more specific. Install the apk, reboot your phone and after a few hours check the application for information
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] saenz4931:
This is what I get with battery stats pro... Maybe some can help... Another thing... My phone never update location with data or wifi... I must have GPS on in order to update weather or maps... It just like that since I bought it... I thought it's Sony thing, since I never owned a Sony device before... I mainly used HTC, and location has worked with cell phone data, unless I want actually accuracy... Any advice on that... Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
Why don't you try what i suggested above? You will get more info that way.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
Do you guys want SlimLP builds now (with broken camera)?

or do you prefer if I wait and provide bugless builds?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] saenz4931:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I was going to do a public build of slim but I thought I'd let you do it as you have the official 4.4.4 ones up ;)

on a side note I would love it if the Carbon guys were a little further on... I'm not enough of a dev to help them though, so it's a waiting game.

When do we expect a rock stable, fully functional AOSP version of Lollipop for togari? Are there any clues? Does it have anything to do with AOSP sources for Android 5 by Sony?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dexter666:
Would be very nice to have a lollipop finally.

cant intall official 4.4.4 release

Hi Guys,

Good day. I cant install the official 4.4.4 build. I have the latest Zdual recovery. In TWRP, i formatted system and data. Flash the ROM and Gapps. But when i reboot the phone, it keeps going back to TWRP.

Thanks for your help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
unlocked bootloader? other AOSP roms work or not?

btw, still running Build 9 on my phone.. it's excellent and very stable daily use
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
yes , bootloader is unlocked. what's the recovery your using?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gourisha:
Awesome ROM..... Great UI, Tons of Customization options

First of I would like to thank the SlimKat development team for their hard work and delivering a flawless ROM. I installed on Z ultra, have been using the ROM for the past few days and it is awesome!!! for a nice big screen. The best thing about this rom is everything works, including camera, no issues found so far none whatsoever. I love the fact that it has a nicce dialpad, unlike Sony crap where they have incorporated a smaller dialpad for a big screen. The best part is you can even customize the look of the dialpad by increasing the button size or the spacing between buttons so that it can expand to the size you like. Toggles are great, lots and lots of customization options. I leave, WiFi, bluetooth and GPS on the whole day and browse web or check emails, take few calls/texts and still have 40% juice left by 10 PM. I feel that signal strength got better (using Tmo) in this ROM earlier I had very bad signal in some spots of my house. Only one minor thing is the UI could have been given with different theme/color options other than that it is Exxxxxcellent.... I tried CM, Cyan and couple of others but had some or the other issue.

Hope this helps for the folks who wants to try this rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
i cant intall this rom. i have unlocked bootloader and using the latest dual recevery. but still i keep going back to twrp recovery when isntalling this rom. how did you guys install it? what the recovery your using? Thanks a lot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
Used the same recovery to start with.. I've been on slimkat for a long time now

Maybe try to wipe system and flash slimkat twice
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dandry:
Hello, today I've flashed the latest 4.4.4 Slimkat build for this phone and gapps over it via TWRP. Eveything went fine. After I tapped "Reboot System" the phone went off and now when I press the power button it only keeps vibrating. When I plug the charger the red light keeps blinking. No recovery, no fastboot.

Please help ;(

EDIT: I was lucky to have Sony PC Companion revive the phone. Damn, no idea what went wrong there...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
i'm still running this rom daily until lollipop devs release a stable build
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] walkingagh:
Getting the stuck in TWRP problem everyone else is getting. I actually flashed the boot.img from this rom which gives me TWRP 2.7.1.0 and then under that recovery tried to install the rom again. No dice. Same thing where it tries to boot normally, stays at the sony screen for 1 minute and then reboots into recovery.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] slipknat:
hi

hi the rom stuck at recovery even i install latest twrp still stick ! pls guide me

Im having trouble with xposed. Some modules work and some does not. Sometimes some modules does not function but after a random reboot it seems to work. But if I reboot again it stop working so its kinda random thing going on.. :rolleyes:

Xposed additions http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb does not work at all with this rom. Trying to select power button just shuts the screen off instead of choosing the button to apply a command.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Xposed modules are hit and miss and I won't debug any problems while using Xposed. Don't get me wrong it's not that it isn't a nice app (I used a few Xposed modules) but it's qs is kind of thing.

Why my IMEI is lost and can't restore by Backup TA tool

I have follow the step according to Installation instructions as below:

4. In recovery make a full wipe as per these instructions:

In CWM perform wipe data/factory reset and in mounts and storage section format system.

In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.

5. Flash SlimKat rom zip.

6. Flash SlimKat gapps zip.

7. Reboot, setup and enjoy.

but when it finished, my IMEI is lost and display "Unknown". I have use Backup TA Tool restored it, it showed successfully but when I reboot the mobile, IMEI still shows Unknown.

I also tried to delete /syste/etc/init.d/98tweaks & /system/etc/init.d/00check and reboot, but there are no these files in the directory.

How I recover IMEI to get the baseband back?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Which ROM were you on earlier?

Flash the latest stock Sony firmware, that may work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pipatl:
I used to flash OFFICIAL ROM 14.3.A.0.757 by using Flashtool, then flash SlimKat. But it the same, my IMEI still lost. I did it twice.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
there were a few people with this bug this week in one of the other roms, maybe aokp?

You could try FXP or Carbon and see if it is still there?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
been having this off and on but disconcerting nevertheless

ever since going to 4.4 either in aosp/non-stock (any flavor) form or stock odex/de-odex that i get calls interrupted and then only a full reboot gets back to state where person at other end can hear (the signal is there and calls can be placed or received but person at other end cannot hear me although I can hear them (not continuously even at that))

I may have asked something like this almost 2 mths back but then did not think of it much especially with the flurry of 4.4 versions (stock) and changes in non-stock ones

thinking of going back to JB as things seem to work more reliably...maybe just a feeling/unfounded
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I remember the post, no one else seemed to have had the problem?

There seems to be a small no. of ZUs that have real issues with 4.4 :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I did get this issue when trying out AOKP rom the other day. Another user posted a question in the romthread wondering if its was only him so I tried the rom.

Wifi worked but no cellular

quote from aokp thread:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Ok guys updated link for build 4.9
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
Great stuff as usual.

Out of curiosity, though, there's no "Performance" option where I could change the CPU Governor yet, correct?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Use apps like Trickstermod ;)

Edit: So whats the difference with togari-gpe? Source code wise it uses regular togari make files with the exception of the name asserts.... Why is it necessary?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Dont know that togari ROM's boot on the GPe although I've not tested but it has been reported. I have booted a togari ROM (carbon) with a GPe kernel but radio wasn't working. I to would like to know the differance

EDIT

It would make the Unofficial Carbon I build easier if all I had to do was build the kernel with the correct names and include a correct build.prop
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
The kernel compiled on gpe cm would be the same as regular togari that's what I don't get. I don't see any difference besides name asserts, which case it's such a waste of time O_o
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
/me tries to flash a gpe ROM...

2 min latter...

I get baseband unknown so no signal but boots fine (dirty flash)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Found the difference. Vendor blobs. Not all of them just the ones etc/firmware. Which handle baseband stuff among other things.... Its a ****ty solution though.... CM could have done a script like the did for the xx02 devices :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
New build is up. Updated link
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
can just use 320DPI as standard? its better suite than 240, i think others will agree too.

however i cannot test fully as baseband issue, no signal at all. :crying:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
I think on a device with as much screen realestate as the Z Ultra 240 looks a lot better. More functional too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
use 7-zip or similar program-pull the build.prop out edit using notepad+ or similar program, change dpi to 320 or what you wish (i go for the 360/370...for me anything else too small and need to be able to see and touch on the go)..then put the build. prop back into the opened archive..save..then use that new zip. Otherwise use textdroider app (free in googleplay)

OK is the issues fixed for gpe I think I'd like this over cm11

Just confirmation, this one gonna fix baseband no signal issue? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
I'd assume so
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
with the latest 5.2 release, baseband no signal issue still not yet resolved. how we gonna use this? :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Then no idea. I'm using gpe vendor blobs so unless you give me logs I can't do crap
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Updated links for 5.4. Device specifics

Added some ffmpeg formats

Fixed slimple_ondemand reboot (myfluxi)

Added gpu gov conservative (myfluxi)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
On 5.4 GPe I had baseband showing in about phone and signal. Camera, auto-rotate and playstore don't work. Play store acts fine until you try to install an app then it crashes and won't open again, get a message in status bar saying play services needs to be updated. If you click on notice it takes you to play store and when you select update play services it crashes again. How would I go about getting the logs you require?

P.S. I have had same issues on Roms using blueether's conversion tool and also DooMLoRD's Sony port for GPe, also on those the internal SD isn't showing. I suspect that may also be true of your ROM but couldn't check without file explorer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Without bugreport I have no idea. Did you factory reset, format system, wipe cache and dalvik then flash rom and our addons?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Also if comming from a gpe el is recommend flashing then rebooting to recovery again rewiping and reflashing
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Steps I took were factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, flashed ROM and small Slim Gapps then wiped cache anddalvikagain before booting into system. What effect does formatting system have, will the internal storage where backups and downloads are be wiped?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
No only thing it does is format the system partition which holds the rom per say. You flashed to slim from what rom? Stock gpe based?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Yes flashed from stockish GPe ROM it was rooted with some xposed mods thrown in.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Could be the recovery not being compatible. If your still on slim, reboot to recovery factory reset, format system, wipe cache and dalvik and reflash. If back on gpe stock rom wipe flash Slim reboot to recovery and follow the steps above. See if that helps
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Will do that later today and report back, also willing to get logs for you but will need some instruction as to how. I have Minimal ADB set up and working on PC.

Edit... It was late last night when I tried Slim, but I am pretty sure I restored a backup of standard Carbon and flashed with the recovery from there. DooMLoRD's recovery shows as Z1 or something and flashes error out from assert.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
If it happens even after all the wiping, just reproduce the problem and use bugreport feature in Slim Center.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Did all the wipes and flashed then booted ROM reentered recovery and wiped cached and dalvik and reflashed. Problems still remain and was unable to use Slim bugreport , also found the Simple Explorer app which I called to notice before. Trying to open Simple Explorer didn't work so I am assuming the internal storage isn't being read like the other ports and conversions I have tried.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Then run logcat mate I can't help anymore without data
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I've stated twice I am more than willing but have never done it before. If you could give some instruction/guidance that would be great. If not I will try to figure it out and get back to you when I can.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
If you have adb working, connect the device.

adb logcat -v long > ~/documents/togari-gpe-log.txt

That's for Linux system the save path will change if on Windows
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Sorry but it is windows.

Hopefully this is right.

Yep, it's in the zip of the last officially posted version. the 4.4.3 is just the boot image, but is not linked to in the thread as I was having wifi issues here. I'll have time over the weekend to have a look into this. I might use the new lite version for the z1 and report as that is more stable by the sounds of things.

I don't feel like logging into my Twitter to report this directly, but SlimOTA seems to be broken in these officials. Giving the same warning as your unofficials, so I am thinking whoever set up the official build bot for Togari (you?) forgot to create the properties file for it to read. This is on both a dirty flash as well as a clean flash from the latest 5.8 build.

Then again, since I haven't checked slim out officially since before Slimkat development started, I don't know if this is system specific or if is build wide.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] texaspledge:
Hi prbassplayer, thanks for working to support togari_gpe as well. I can't seem to find links though. All the ones I check say just togari. Would you let me know where to find? Thanks!

I dropped togari_gpe. Wasn't working as intended and not enough users lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] texaspledge:
Yeah, I'm starting to get the feeling the GPE is pretty uncommon. I've ended up going back to stock 4.4.2 since .3 borked the camera. if slimkat didn't have the issue I was going to try it out instead. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The last 3? builds of Carbon for GPe have had real problems as well - baseband being the worst at the moment.

Yeah, I think 4.4.2 might be the best bet for now on a GPe
