[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Does anyone else have a problem with picking custom sounds for ringtone/notification? Noticed that problem two days ago while still being on 7.0, flashed 7.6 yesterday and the problem persists.

Basically, I tap on (f.e.) notification sound, chooser pops up giving me media storage and SolidExplorer as choice, I pick SE, navigate to the sound I want (tried internal and external SD, both in / and in a folder, no difference), select it and I'm back in the settings with the selection showing "none" (actually "Keine", since I'm using german). When a notification/call comes in, the device is actually silent in that case.

The files in question a 128k mp3s which work in GoneMad and N7Player, named with only ASCII chars. At first I thought XPrivacy may be the problem, but Settings is unlimited and there's also nothing in the logfile.

Thoughts?

Edit, double checked with disabling Xprivacy and rebooting, same problem :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
Same issue, just move your ringtones/notifications to your internal storage, what I had to do
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Tried that. SolidExplorer allows me to create a folder in / (ie /sounds), but doesn't want to copy something in there. SimpleExplorer can copy it in there, but when selected in the sound picker, it still doesn't work. Trying to copy a file into /system/media/audio/notifications fails with both file managers.

It just worked(tm) in Slimkat 6.x, so I don't know what's broken here, but it's annoying that even root won't do it properly.

Sidenote, is Miracast also broken? Just got a Sony BR-player (S5200), the player and phone see each other, but trying to connect always times out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
Annoying! Sorry for your troubles fellow traveler
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
I had the same problem on stock kitkat Sony FW, and solved it as [MENTION=5186369]appleknight[/MENTION] said,

I created a folder inside my internal storage called "Ringtones" and then copied my ringtones to it,

rebooted and then I was able to set them from the settings easily.

BTW did you try picking an ogg file instead of a mp3? that might work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
Use another keyboard? As for Sim contacts I don't know any errors when importing or?

Yes it works, I'd recommend fat32 if you will have files larger than 4gb then use exfat
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
There's already a Ringtones folder available, but it also doesn't work from there. I tried .wav/flac/ogg/mp3, didn't make a difference(yes, I rebooted in between).

Anyway I can debug this? Not really motivated to do this right now, but might a completely fresh install solve this(flashed dirty last time, only clearing cache/dalvik).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] e753:
I tried weekly and stabile one but i got a BIG problem, there is no way to find any network, so i can use only WI FI. What i did wrong?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
It would be nice to have more details. Specific device model. Did you show correct baseband, apn, imei? What did you flash specifically, using what steps, from what rom? Last, but not least, bug report .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I bet it is a c6802 coming from Sony .108 - I have a theory about this that I must test... It will have an unreadable baseband so no imei

edit:

Just tested my theory and I was wrong about what I thought was causing this issue. I thought it might have been from coming from a 6802 FTF but that just worked here flashing the lates Carbon over a c6802 central america(? GEL) FTF, unless it is a specific region firmware that is causing the issue. Have seen it in the Carbon thread once or twice and in another custom ROM as well but there are so few people that have the issue. If I unforget correctly one user had the issue on Slim but not Carbon ???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] e753:
I did a clean installation after the stock rom and one after Paranoid. Both time i don't have radio working. It's so strange. My gadget is the plain one non the Google edition

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
This is my line :rolleyes: and togari's build is out now, you should've waited a little :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
So I just updated to 7.9 yesterday, the above mentioned problem with choosing sounds still exists. What's strange though, when I select a soundfile in SolidExplorer and say "set as notification sound", it shows up in the sound settings and also works. :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:


---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

@#S.D. Richards that's where I've put my sounds, all work fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
You're correct, when I create a folder mimicking the "normal" one, it indeed works. The question is, is this a bug or intended behaviour? If it's the latter, why has this not been communicated to users?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
a bug i think
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NSD:
Wow this rom is amaaaaazing! Was wondering if anyone here is running it with the Xposed no lock home module? I can't seem to get the module to work. On rooted GPe stock it was fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
Are we stuck at 7.9 a while?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
Yes until slimkat nightly/stable 8 is released :p

Omar.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NSD:
Can I dirty flash over 7.9?

Also, are in-line headphone controls working for you guys on 7.9?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
Yes you can, and the headphones are a hit and miss, if I press once its pause/play two times for next song, three times for previous, volume does not work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NSD:
I wonder if there's a way to fix this - it forces my 3 button headset to act like a 1 button one :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
Camera is fixed in next release :)

CM did a workaround that seems to work fine and we will merge this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
interesting, had a look at cm changelog. Gonna try the latest build of cm now :p ...I have been holding off from cm based cause of this. Hopefully it will work fine! If then I might try this rom again cause I always get awesome batterylife with slim :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbassplayer:
To be clear the CM fix is just implementing Androguide.fr app fix in the rom. Kudos to Chirayu Desai for finding a way to implement.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
Hopefully slow camera start-up bug will rest in peace from now on :)

Yeah just increase your dpi to become 300 or so.... using an app like this:

8.6 is out, for those who didn't see it, yet.

Anyways, anybody else sometimes having the problem that updating apps from the PlayStore (meaning open store, tap update all) freezes the whole UI and there's no way to make it work again except force powering off the device?

This isn't 8.6 specific, had that even before I made the update (coming from 7.6 IIRC).

Any chance to add Network Mode tile? Just tried this rom and cant find it (its the one to change between 2g and 3g). I saw that its not included in slim, ap nor carbon (however here i have copy of settings, so after restoring it appear and works).

Gravitybox tiles doesnt work.

Edit: didnt try so prefer to ask. Does slimkat have dual panel support?

Sent using tf300t - PAC-man/GRIMLOCK (Linaro)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Natakranta:
For network mode QS tile to be available you need to switch preferred network in settings from LTE to 3G. Then it will appear in QS tiles list. Reboot may be necessary, I don't remember.

Great!

Is it safe to assume that so we can expect an update to LS soon?

Thanks :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
Well SlimRoms' way of building doesn't have to deal with LiquidSmooth's, I'm not having any problems while building slim from the beginning ;)

But yes expect LS builds to be back soon cuz I found the other half of the solution to my problem :D

Regards,

Omar.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
Oh? What solution did you eventually arrive to? I'm curious.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
Well, the problem was that I couldn't access LS's gerrit (to pish changes) or their Jenkins to build the nightlies after something my university did to the internet connection they're providing us!

So half of the solution to regain my access to Jenkins was to find a proxy connection that was capable of that,

But after I found the proxy that can do that, I couldn't push to gerrit whatsoever!

The other half was to access a server (GothdDroid.com) and create an ssh key on it and do the whole thing on it then push from it :)

I hope this bla bla of mine will satisfy your curiosity :p

Regards,

Omar.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
Ah, I see. I'm glad you got it sorted out.

Would you be able to contact the people that maintain the internet at your university? Maybe you could help them fix the internet to how it was originally so you won't have to go through proxies and SSH just to build LiquidSmooth?

Or did they block it intentionally? If they did, then I'm sure they would understand if you told them you need access to Jenkins to contribute to the XDA community. And if they dont want to unblock Jenkins to anyone except you, they could set it to only allow your computer's MAC address or sonething.

If all else fails, you could try a VPN. But if your proxy+SSH set-up works for you, I'm not complaining.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dexter666:
After install this rom I got on lockscreen 100 unreaded Gmail massages notification. How to get rid of that?

I've went to gmail from there, but that didn't helped.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sm0L:
After installing i don't have root access or supersu installed, how to solve?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Natakranta:
Enable developer options. In developer options enable root for apps and adb.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aungkhaingoo:
Device not booting up after flashing rom. Don't know why. Here is my process..

Wipe stock rom

Flash slimkit

Flash gapp then reboot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
What was your previous ROM's android version ? and what did you wipe (format factory or format /system)?

Regards,

Omar.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aungkhaingoo:
Previous rom ver is 4.4.4 .108

I wipe format factory.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarEinea:
If you're coming from a stock ROM, you should do : format factory & format /system & /cache & /data (from mount and anmount section in recovery)

then flash the ROM and every thing should work fine.

Omar.

I apologize in advance for the no-content post.

I won't say whether this is "the best" rom or whatever, but i will say that i like this rom the most between *all* i've tried so far. It installed in *seconds*, the interface works *awesome* on the z ultra.

I have a minor issue with root not working? Maybe? Haven't looked into it yet, don't care that much and i am sure it's fixable easily, i just need to fiddle around with it a bit.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] :
You have to enable root in Developer Options.

Any body else struggling with Bluetooth? On cm11 it's very stable, but on this Rom every device seem to disconnect every minute or so. It connects back again, but it's very annoying. Seems to b a slimkat issue, I've been having the same trouble on note3 with also on latest weekly.. Anybody got a suggestion or a fix? I prefer this rom over cm, but the Bluetooth issue is a major problem. Or is it just me?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shashank1976:
Thanks.....worked like a charm !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
most people confuse automatic brightness, which is change in backlight brightness as a function of lighting conditions, with "optimized contrast"/"optimized backlight" or whatever you prefer to call it, which is change in backlight brightness as a function of screen contents.

the option to toggle the latter "feature" (read: annoyance) existed in the first stock firmwares released by sony. Because some devices had serious malfunctions when disabling this thing, he ability to toggle it was removed in later releases.

i suspect that, depending on display driver settings, some roms have it, some don't. Pretty sure cm11 doesn't have it. Slimkat has it and goddamn i wish it didn't...
