As far as I know, there is no way to flash rom without unlocking bootloader, as without unlocked bootloader you cannot flash recovery. Correct me if I am wrong, I'm also still learning about this device as I came from HTC One M7 so it's something completely new to me.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Brody5:
is got to be bootloader unlocked ? :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] t0pstar:
I get my Z2 today, hop we will see, fast, a way for root with lockt bootloader or a way to save TA.

Hi guys..

May I know how effective are the volume boosts (external speakers)? What's your feel of it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] furrypotato:
Ok, first time on a Sony phone so let me check what I'm doing...

On . 55 fw, unlockable bootloader.

So first upgrade to 69 via the ftf listed on OP and flashtool.

Unlock bootloader.

Install cwm kernel by doomlord via fastboot.

Boot into cwm.

Full wipe ( I like to anyway)

Flash this zip.

Select advanced kernel in aroma?

Reboot and enjoy.

If I wanted doomkernel v3 then I could flash that after rom before first boot?

edit: hang on, do I need 55 fw to flash cwm? So how would I change the above order?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] flumps:
This is awesome. Reserved. Im a little hesitant to flash this right now as i only just got my z2 yesterday and within 10mins had the bootloader unlocked and rooted so now im just going to enjoy the device for a bit. :)

Great work though man!

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rappa619:
I can also confirm the ring issue. It only rings once, so if you have a long ringtone selected, it will play longer and a short ringtone finishes faster and doesn't play the sound again.

After flashing from 3.1 to 3.4 my battery jumped down to 14% on the first boot. Is this normal?

Version 3.6 issue with supers

Hello,

I installed version 3.6 and the dual recovery(NUT).

After installing the ROM and again the recovery, SuperSu is not working correctly.

I have the icon and after starting SuperSu it asked to update to a newer binary. In the normal way doesn't work en via recovery isn't possible.

At this moment i can't reboot in recovery en the applications like NDR util doesn't start.

Has someone an idea to solve this?

Jos
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rappa619:
No black apps installed, but it's ok since 4.4.4 should be coming in a few weeks, maybe the issue will get resolved on its own when flashing your version of that rom.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] trial_attorney:
I repeat the issue.

I can't make an ExDialer or any other dialer app as a default one. Each time my device asks me again and again what app should be a default one - the stock dialer, or any other dialer. <br />

This issue occur only with phone dialer. Any other apps (sms, launchers etc.) are saved as default from the first time and forever.<br />

I tried to do this on RomAur 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5. Full wipes always. Even deleted everything from internal memory. But the issue is still there.<br/>

There exists a special app called "Default app manager". It helps to clear and set defaults to different apps on the device. I attach some screenshots. They show that some apps (browser, launcher, office etc.) are saved as defaults (big green tick). But there is no any tick in the Phone dialer section. When i try to set any of the phone dialer as a default, it just doesn't save anything and dialer stays without any default app.

Please check it, is it really a bug. Just install any dialer from the market and try to save it as default.

Thank you, hope you answer this time.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Just wanted to say that after I did a clean install of 3.6 90% of my issues are gone. No more camera problems, Viper actually works now. Haven't tested MMS yet. My only complaint (although this is not ROM specific) is that my output volume is STILL too low. I went through and changed up the settings in Viper but it's still not loud enough. I came from a HTC One which was loud as hell.

I wonder if anyone else has this issue.

Since loading this custom ROM (now on 3.6) I'm having some strange issues with the camera.

If I use the SD card for storage, the album shows some photos/videos as broken after a while... It didn't happen while I was still on stock. Can it be linked to the EXT4 optimisation from the install in Aroma?

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

I've formatted my micro SD to exfat now and tested today.

It seems okay for standard pictures, but videos, 4k, timeshift etc end up with corrupted files. I'm going to roll back to stock and see if I have the same issue which would mean it it's the card's fault...

Anyone else experienced something similar?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jiggyb21:
I have experienced almost zero problems. I got my phone back on Mar 31st, unlocked the bootloader, rooted with DoomLord's original method and and finally, installed this ROM when it released. I've sequentially upgraded each release, save for I think 3.2. All in all, big thanks to auras76 for this rom....it's really solid. Add to it Xposed and I don't think it gets much better.

I have touched nothing else, so far as I can remember. At one point I vaguely remember wanting TWRP over CWM (which I have done at some point).

There is a question here:

I was just poking around in "about" and fully expected to see a DoomLord kernel because that's what I remember flashing last, albeit a while ago . Instead I found this:

3.4.0-perf

angel@angel-System-Product-Name#1

Wed Jun 4 16:02:30 CEST 2014

Is that the stock kernel?

Forgive maybe a stupid question but I don't remember flashing the stock kernel. Does it reflash the stock kernel when flashing the next RomAur zip? I wonder how long I've been rocking this kernel and is there any advantage to flashing a different one at this point? Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] auras76:
Should be test kernel.i send from some users to test 3-4 weeks ago.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jiggyb21:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dangermind:

I was on stock 402 and flashed the ROM. Wasn't sure either to choose UB or LB. I chose UB anyways, flashed the ROM and I think it has bricked my device.

I have tried these:

1. Kept pushing power button, it vibrated every second, doesn't do anything

2. depressed the red button near sim for several seconds, nothing happens

3. Press vol up button while connecting to USB. led turns blue, nothing on screen

Need help please, its been dead for hours now! Thanks!

I just bought Z2 and I followed the first guide to install the rom (locked bootloader) but at the last step, when I install the kernel/modem with flashtool, flashtool tells me I have debug off and mtp connection. how can I fix it?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bLack_Q:
You have to enable "USB-Debugging" in the Developer-Settings. If you dont have that menu-point visible already in your settings-app, you have to manually unlock it. You can do that by tapping 10-15 times on "Build-Number" in the "About this Phone" section.

After you did that, you unlocked Developer-Settings and there you can activate USB-Debugging.
