I looked at the xz1 compact forum and found that I need to install Backup-TA. However in order for backup TA to run I need to unlock bootloader so I went to look at the instructions. In the instructions it tells me I need to flash a specific kernel. Then I scroll up and see that in order to flash this kernel I need my bootloader unlocked but it says if I unlock bootloader without doing a Backup-TA I lose my DRM keys.

So how can i do a Backup-TA without unlocking my bootloader since unlocking my bootloader without a Backup-TA will make me lose my DRM keys... Backup-TA won't work unless I have an unlocked bootloader.....
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stress40:
We can't back- up TA yet as an exploit to allow that hasn't been found yet. It shouldn't take long once more ppl get their Z2's.

Will this ROM include the fix for R/W to external SD? I know the built in file commander is able to read and write files to external, but its nice to be able to have full unrestricted access to it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] auras76:
Yes.

Hi just got my Z2 rooted and bootloader unlocked. Just come here to get your ROM and cant find the link to download. Is the ROM still in beta stages?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] auras76:
just received my z2 and testing the rom.uploading now.all working good.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Brody5:
Thanks for the fast response.. Will be downloading once I get home
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hitchi:
If I unlock and install cwm and this custom rom... Is the a way back to stock?

Is there a well described how to available? Sorry I'm coming from HTC device and I assume it's a bit different.

Been using this rom for the last day and I can say everything works just as good if not better than the stock rom. I'm very happy with this phone. Just need to get a case because it's abit slippery lol
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawrence1m:
Im coming from the same FW running stock ROM, would I need to back up apps or not? Also noticed that there isn't a Boot.img in the DL folder, do I not need to flash the boot? Sorry I'm coming from a HTC and I thought things might be a little different
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Brody5:
I thought that to I'm came from HTC.. As long as your bootloader unlocked all you need to do is download the room and flash it.. I did a full wipe so I would say back up your apps.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawrence1m:
Thanks, I ended up flashing without doing a full wipe and the phone booted up perfectly, everything works so far.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Brody5:
Nice one I'm happy it worked :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hitchi:
Is there an how to regarding the unlocking and flashing available? How can I get back to stock with stock recovery and bootloader locked?

Could someone describe that for non "flashaholics " :)

I am sorry to bother you with this again but this is not fixed, was it kernel related? I am using doomkernel so it might have something to do with that.

Guys, i can't chose a default app for a dialer on this firmware. Other apps (browsers, maps etc.) are successfully chosed as i wish. But when i try to make a default dialer, i get a window as always, i chose the dialer i want to be the default one, then i click "Always", and nothing happens. If i get a missed call for example, and i click on the notification, the phone asks me again which app do i want to use to open the missed call.

I also tried to use "Default app manger" from Google Play, but it also does not fix the issue.

Anybody with the same problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] achih121:
Dear auras76, I can't find the widget from my Z2...

Where did U get that?

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] auras76:
What widget.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stanley08:
That's the weather widget. It's avaliable on Stock. Haven't tried the ROM but maybe he removed it. long press empty space on home screen, select widgets then scroll to the end. Should be there normally.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neyz:
I'm trying to spot the difference with and without x reality but I just don't see it. I didn't really test either before unlocking BL and flashing so I don't know.

Can anyone bring an objective point of view on this feature?

Thanks and thanks for the rom!

Hey guys.

I'm trying to flash the .402 firmware for D6503 linked in the OP, but it's not working.

Everything goes fine with latest flashtool, no errors whatsoever, but when i reboot i'm still on the old firmware.

Is the ftf file device specific or something ? :confused:

Do i need a Vodafone Netherlands branded ftf file (which i can't find) ? :confused:

Please a little clarity for me, coz i'm going slighly mad haha

SOLVED- Sorry, nevermind, solved it by creating my own ftf file.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] lynxboy:
I think a few of us are having issues with it post unlock and after flashing the ROM. Some have it working and others do not.

I did test it before I unlocked and there was a noticeable difference in image saturation and contrast between the two modes.

Now with this ROM the option is available to select, but there is no difference between the two modes.

The image quality is still fantastic though and the ROM is superb!

Regards.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neyz:
Hmm, do you think this is because by the unlock or the ROM itself ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] achih121:
Thanks pal, I'm on RomAur v3.1 with nova launcher

I still can't find the widget (digital time and weather)

Maybe just as U mentioned, he removed them....
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dirtyzecrets:
If you hav read what I wrote, it is not because of this rom... Think it is because of the unlock itself! I have tried to revert back and furter back several times. It still does not work...

So I didnt actually try this out before rooting and installing RomAur but now that Ive setup my phone how I like it and have RomAur 3.1 w/ stock kernel, I plugged in an aux cable between my phone and my car aux in and the volume is very low when I play music. I have the phone's media volume all the way up and my car to numbers beyond what my previous phone and my radio would consider as 'very loud' but its still not that loud at all.

Ive tried messing with all the volume settings but still cant get decent sound volume out of it. Can anyone point me to something I might be missing?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] achih121:
Thanks, I dont notice that!!

I never use stock launcher before~:p:p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vaiosony:
My X-reality is working again with unlock BL. What I do is drag and paste the patch file's system folder to the ROM by using 7zip. Reflash the ROM with full wipe. Maybe U can have a try,it works for me.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cpumaster:
I strongly recommend you to flash DooMKernel. Then you go over to GooglePlay and by FauxSound Audio (worth every penny) In that app you can crank up your volume all the way up until you blow your speakers. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] auras76:
Choose from clock widgets.

Working only with stock launcher.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neyz:
Were you on 3.0 or 3.1 ? Can you confirm that you see a difference between the modes and that it's not just the checkbox active ?

I flashed directly 3.1 and thought that fix was included.

By the way, can someone please confirm lastest kernel / baseband that should appear after all flashing is done ? I have :

baseband : 8974-AAAAANPZQ-00005-08

kernel : 3.4.0-perf-gb772cca built april 28 @9:33

Upgraded to 3.1 after a full wipe and still no X-reality. Will try the method stated previously and see if that works.

Also seems that the black apps SystemUI breaks other mods which is a shame.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vaiosony:
Try flash the black app before other mods.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hitchi:
Is the black apps mod also still in development... So can we expect some updates?

There is a huge grey frame on the caller screen ... Is this normal?

Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] lynxboy:
Unfortunately this won't work due to the mods being included in the Aroma installer. It's OK though, as I can find the majority of things through Xposed.

I've also given up on X-Reality for the time being. I've tried all possible methods, including replacing the lib files in the original ROM ZIP wiping, reflashing etc. None of it is working and I'm just left with the below. Hopefully in time as more users buy the phone we'll be able to work out exactly why it works for some and not for others.

See below for screenshots. Other than this niggle ROM is superb.

Slight cosmetic issue with AOSP Browser - 'Find On Page' in options is displayed as 'Organisation:'. Function still works. I'll try replace with another apk and see if it fixes it.

It sometimes happens to me too.

Did you play with the kernel settings in any way? (undervolt for example)

Are you using Bluetooth?

It might be a wrong diagnostic but I haven't experienced any reboot since I disabled Bluetooth and restored original voltage settings. (24 hours)

I will try to re-enable BT see if I can reproduce the problem.

Hi Auras,

Wanted to mention that black screen after call is still there. The sensor does screen off when you bring the phone to your ear but does not turn the screen on when you take the phone back to normal position again. Also power button does not unlock, you first need to touch the black screen and then press power. Very strange behaviour.

Another problem/question. In baettery usage NFC service is on top and using a lot of power even while nfc is turned off, why is this?

Thanks for your work!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] auras76:
