[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
Not to stand on anyone toes here, but this was great getting doom a GPe. I am wondering if we should try to attract some other big name devs from other devices. See what is going on in the galaxy scene we might be able to attract a big name or two. I'd be willing to front at least, for now, a $100 towards a new device for another big name dev. Maybe get another pledge thread going. Show a dev that we will offer a new device to one that wants to jump ship? Just a thought.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
great Idea!

i can think of some great devs like [MENTION=1631739]mike1986.[/MENTION] !

may be we should try and get him onboard? how many people interested? I can talk to him on the behalf of the community!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
As stated it is a niche device with what seems to be a small community of users, so my question is how many Roms do we really need? I seen a lot of value in providing a device to DooMLoRD which happened mainly because of one determined member. Making a list of Developers who are actively maintaining Roms and showing them some love may be money better spent. Having said that I will pledge $20.00 towards a device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
I see the Xperia line much like the Galaxy or One lines. If those devices can have many developers why can't we? Just need to have more people with our phones. Xperia Z Ultra can be compared to the likes of the Galaxy Notes. If we get an XZU2 then we go from niche device to line of flagships for Sony. This phone works great on major carriers, but doesn't get the advertisements on the carriers that the Samsung devices do. I am just saying that is the Samsung devices are becoming a pain to develop for then maybe we should start waving our hands for these developers to start looking our way. Just an thought.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
A thought, yes, but don't go after 20 different developers now. Giving 20 devs a ZU won't solve anything at all. It'll only make a new issue; the user to dev ratio will be hilariously out of proportion, and there will be even more ROM threads with NO users. It'll be like China pouring money into development of new cities with not a single soul living there. It'll be a ghost town, which might look good from the outside, but it won't work at all. The current situation is... slow, but it seems like most people around here are content with the current ROM situation. We have both AOSP ROMs and stock ROMs, but I guess we could use some new kernels, and I guess we'll get exactly that now that we have DoomLord here.

This is just a friendly comment and not an attack on you. But please don't go full Oprah on us :P
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
i plan to have a combined kernel for GPE & Stock Sony rom with smart ramdisk switching... lets see... depends on how different are the kernel sources for GPE

my guess is that sony stock sources should work on GPE

but not the other way round

it will be easier for me to maintain

if that doesnt work I can always have different kernels to support both devices
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
OMG OMG OMG EVERYONE GETS THEIR OWN DEV!!!!! EVERYONE GETS THEIR VERY OWN DOOMLORD!!!!!!!!!!:eek::laugh::D:D

Oh HARPO!!!

I am very excited to see you on board with us DoomLord!!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gtshiftin6:
Jammol did u come from note 3 scene? Thought I saw u on the knoxraid thread
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Indeed he did.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Yeah sold that bad boy for this bad ass mothershutyomouth!!!!

I saw what happened on knoxraid. Gotta say I saw that coming. That definitely will not happen with Doomlord or LordManhattan!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gtshiftin6:
Yeah love this phone not a single regret by selling it for this Samsung can kiss my arse with Knox and locked phones
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
This is exactly what I was getting at. I wasn't talking just about Devs. Bringing more Devs over here was just a starting point to move more users to the Xperia line. The more Samsung locks down, and the more Sony opens up will only mean greater things for us here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
True. And btw, I'm not going to create a new thread for this, but firmware .769 was just certified for the Z Ultra and Z1, so we may receive an update soon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yeah and just look at what happened to the 761[?] The Z1 got and we didn't, so much for unified release cycle

PS if we had the dribble that gets posted in the <insert popular phone>'s section I would go insane or leave. I quite like the small community we have here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, we have escaped the typical horde of loud 14 year olds for now, and I hope we keep it fairly small like now. The Note section started out small like this one, but then it exploded like crazy and we got A LOT of - excuse my French, idiots.

That's the nice thing about expensive things. Most teens can't afford it, but... The Ultra is a lot cheaper now, so gentlemen.. Brace yourselves. This might get ugly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
so finally received the Sony Z Ultra GPe!!!

thanks to all those who donated this device!!

watch out for new development from me soon for both the ZU GPe & the ZU normal!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
That was nice and quick

Looks like we are getting close to getting non GPe ROMs working on the GPe after a slow start - would be so much eaiser with a GPe on hand, but now that a real dev has the phone let the fun begin
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
started off with my contributions :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
who said that you cant have Sony Xperia ROM booting on ZU GPe :)

just got Xperia ZU KitKat 14.3.A.0.681 firmware booting on it!!!

still working on fixing few things... will try and upload it soon so that other devs can help fixing it!

DooMLoRD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You're a god damn wizard, Harry!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
while I encourage all kind of development is there really a need for working on porting Sony stock to the gpe? Do anyone want this?

The GPe version is far more expensive then the stock version and the only reason to buy it is the aosp rom.

Just asking...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I won't know until I try it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
The Xperia version costs $449 directly from Sony and the GPe version also dropped to $449 a couple of weeks back. Sure, there aren't many GPe users around here, but that might change now that it's actually possible to do more things with it, like cross-flashing it like the Sony version. Also don't forget that the Xperia version isn't officially sold in the US (outside of Sony's own stores), so it's easier for Americans to just order a GPe from Google :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
I see, good points, thanks mate ☺
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
After having more time to think about it it makes perfect sense. DooMLoRD stated he would try to make a unified kernel if possible or work on separate ones for each device. Either way he would need to be able to run both softwares on the GPe he has.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, the Xperia and GPe are both identical hardware wise but I think the GPe's partitions are different from the Xperia's, so that's why you can flash a Sony ROM directly on a GPe without messing things up, I THINK. I'm no expert, but I believe this is the case. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
well the GPe is the first Sony device with:

a graphical bootloader

dedicated proper recovery partition

and yes the partition layout is indeed different... biggest change is that on the ZU the /system partition is 2.5 GB while on the GPe its only 1.1 GB... Sony Xperia ROMs are generally around 1.5 GB... thats the reason why flashing ZU FTF (even if system.sin & kernel.sin only) will not work!

I had to CUT a lot of stuff out of the Xperia ROM to make it "Fit" on the GPe /system partition..

P.S.: i have started uploading the ROM... hopefully in a few hours upload will be complete :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Congrats

I wonder how close my tester was yesterday to getting mon's ROM booting, I think that they just had the wrong kernel (and a few status 7 error when flashing my zip)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
Released the Sony Xperia KitKat port!!!

[ZU_GPe] Port of Sony Xperia KitKat ROM FW .681

DooMLoRD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
After using the Z Ultra all other devices feel so small :)

I have moved to the Z Ultra GPe as my secondary device (replacing my Z1)

Z2 is still primary though!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
So, do you have any big plans for the Ultra, or are you just cruising along for now, getting to know the device? The next thing you could take a look at is if or how to completely convert an Xperia Ultra to a GPe? Not sure if it's necessary though, since the ROM is nice enough to have, but converting a XZU into a GPe would also mess with the partitions, right? So... ah.. okey... it may be a lot of work when i think about it :p I'm not going to remove the earlier part of this post. I've written it all by myself, so it shall stand as it is:cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
yes of course!

will be resuming work on the msm8974 devices now... so Z1, Z Ultra, Z Ultra GPe will all get kernels updated by this weekend :)

About flashing GPe ROM on ZU... i thought the port was already complete from the files i posted previously right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
As a ROM, not as a conversion. I think that's what [MENTION=655433]LordManhattan[/MENTION] was meaning

Sent from CarbonROM on my Z-Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
oh ok...

so we can try... could be a way but its just toooo dangerous... almost a 99.9999% chance of a hard brick! only way to recover (hopefully) will be JTAG or RIFF box...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, don't do it then. I don't think it's worth it. The ROM is working excellent as it is, and the only thing a conversion would change, is being able to receive OTA updates. It's easy enough to port the GPe ROM to a XZU, so nah..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Hope everyone realises that as long as people are still buying the GPE then the Google won't let Sony update the ZU to Z2 :(

Jokes aside, welcome aboard [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
readying DooMKernel for the ZU GPe :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
I'm confused :-/

The port Doomlord did was the Sony Rom, to be able to use in GPE devices, correct?

There are ports of the GPE to be able to run on the Ultra already, but I wonder.

Is it possible to convert a non GPE to GPE entirely?

That would get all the latest updates faster than non GPE.

does it makes sense ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Why the heck would you want do that, you guys have a port of GPe ROM ready in about a day of it being released. Now I on the other hand would love to be able to convert my GPe into a Sony device. None of the ports or Roms for GPe are fully functional. If I had waited a few days for Sony to drop their price to match Google I would have gotten Sony.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
I understand your view, for me, I'm not too fussed about custom roms to be honest, any of the stuff i'm interested from custom roms is now on Xposed, and it's less risky to apply.

Having a GPE would allow me to get the latest android version as soon as it's released, while with Sony, i need to wait for ages.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Partition sizes are different. I don't know if something like Gparted could be used but would guess it would be much riskier than flashing the port.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
haha, I'm sure development for the GPE will catch up soon enough.

If the difference is partitions, I remember back in the old days of the x10, you could repartition , so that's something doable?

on a second thought, GPE is sold in America only, I wonder whether that would cause problems with basebands and such in other locations.

One request for Doomlord, if you're checking.

Can you pleasepleaseplease, get the Double tap to wake working on non GPE? Bloody useful feature.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
You're fast caught that before I could edit it. Dt2w may be in pimped kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Converting to gpe is nigh impossable as the s1-boot is signed to the hw I believe

There is a stock kernel from jackie099 that has dt2w, or my cm11 and pimped both have it

Sent from CarbonROM on my Z-Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
he's pulled the link due to some sort of problem. so no solution for dt2w on stock AFAIK

Been Gone a While But I'm Back!

I personally want to thank everybody who chipped in so we were able to grab an XZU GPe for DooMLoRD, ESPECIALLY ART F. Art put up half the funds in order to get this done, Art...you da MAN! Also thanks to "R" aka DooMLoRD, you are the very best!

As you know we have a bona fide developer who does AMAZING things so please keep checking out his work and send the man donations, please. He truly deserves your appreciation.

I'm sorry it took this long - but for the record - I dislocated my shoulder right after I had it reconstructed. A day later to be exact, so I had to go back and get it all done again. I'm sorry I left everybody hanging. It was no picnic. So the first thing I wanted/NEEDED to do is take care of some unfinished business.

Art, believe it or not, I'm opening that box this weekend. I can finally move around some so I'm doing it. I wanted to thank you publicly because you deserve it.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Arthur.

How do I block a number or text message from a crazy ex. I want her to receive a notification or something that says the phone number is no longer in service or some error message.

Call Sprint (or whoever your service provider is) and tell them you want to block her number. I've personally never had to do it myself so I don't know if it returns a "disconnected" message or not. That should stop the calls, and most likely texts.

[Sony Xperia C] LoverOfLife:
It's impossible that. But using default stock camera, u can touch to focus to an object, and the background will be blured. Or you can use a third party app (like snapseed, or something else, there are plenty) to edit an image, and blur any of your background.

See this picture taken with my XC default camera:

The update was 'successful' it said. Before the update the bluetooth worked perfect as I received ringtones without any problems from my g/f's RAZR.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] unobtrusivetones:
Hi all,

I'm currently using an AT&T Microcell signal booster in my house because reception is terrible on my current cell phones. I want to order the Oppo Find7a but I'm afraid reception will be terrible without being connected to the Microcell because it's a non AT&T phone. Has anybody been able to use the Oppo Find 7a in conjunction with the Microcell successfully? Thanks
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
I haven't used it with a microcell, but since it supports all of AT&T's bands it should work. From AT&T's perspective it's just another GSM phone - no AT&T device has "special" band support to work with the microcell.

It does work perfectly on the HSPA+ bands with a Wilson amplifier. I CAN confirm that! :)

hi friends how can i totally remove this chrome from xperia E ? i have rooted phone also i try using root app delete but still showing me that it goes back to factory settings :(

also i dont need google + kiosk google play
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Phalangioides:
Try deleting it with titanium backup.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tubabuyukustun:
ok ok :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] StargaMoo:
delete it from system/app

or try to delete those apps from system/app, back up first though :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] The_Overthinker:
Simplest method if your phone is rooted : Download link2sd app from playstore.

Select chrome from the app and click ->Actions->delete. It'll show that app will be replaced by factory settings. Click ok.

Then again click Actions -> Delete. That should remove it for good.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tubabuyukustun:
i deleted it via titanium backup :) i have just q. i need only from google store and gmail. when i connect to wifi and go to store or gmail i see that i have automatically back on phone this goole play services...

first time i remove all google app ( not store) also play services from phone and install only gmail. so why is needing this play store services ? or can i delete it via tit.backup but i am not sure that if i connect back to wifi or net it came back aaa and it has from 16MB to 33MB i think

if i install this alpha 4 CM11 i down gmail app via real app leecher latest version so i dont need install this GAPPS for android 4.4.2 package ? cos i see that there is more app not only gmail... and i need only store and gmail. i dont know if i can delete from this package for 4.4.2 all apps except store and gmail.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] The_Overthinker:
Google play services is essential. It updates you're apps. The problem is that google play services consumes a lot of ram. Solution is - convert it to user app and then greenify!!

I'm not really sure about the gapps part, though.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tubabuyukustun:
ok friend but how convert this services to user app ? i down this greenify :o sorry i am beginer with this

ok so now i have on phone store and gmail i uninstall this google play services i have also latest and greenify and titan. backup on phone so now what to do

so now which play services to download ?

Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-010)

Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-032) - 160 DPI

Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-034) - 240 DPI

Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-036) - 320 DPI

Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-038) - 480 DPI

Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-070)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] The_Overthinker:
I use Google play services 4.3.25 :p

Anyways, you can convert google play services to user app via link2sd app

Open the app, select Google play services. Click on Actions and then select convert to user app
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tubabuyukustun:
ok friend i go down this link2sd app

now i have android 4.1.1 A 2.23 with zues kernel i waiting for CM11 alpha 4 (KITKAT 4.4.2) so i asking which this play services i need
