I have 4.4.2 rooted (Doomlords method) with an unlocked BL, can I flash this and keep my data? Do I have to do a backup first, and if so, what free apps can I use for backing up all my apps and music? The Helium backup app from CWM says it doesn't support the Xperia Z. I might use the stock Backup & Restore app that came pre-installed - is that ok?

Also, I'm unsure what the following means:

"If You Are Coming From Official 4.4.2 With Recovery Means No Need To Wipe Data Factory Reset And Stripped Kernel"

Does it mean, if coming from official 4.4.2 with recovery, there's no need to wipe data or do a factory reset or flash the stripped kernel? :/
[Xperia Z Android Development] chrisftlse:
You are right.

Just flash rom.

I figured out the source of my random reboot issue: Stamina mode. I went through all of my settings and tried everything one at a time, with Stamina mode off this ROM is far more stable on my phone.

If anyone can offer some incite or help I'd appreciate it.

Did you first uninstall all updates of play services?

Nop... i Formated System thats the reason cant install

[Xperia Z Android Development] bern4d1:
Ok now it's installed but seems to eat the battery also. I'll try little bit longer. Thanks anyway.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
For me it worked fine! Till now no battery drain anymore!

I deinstalled, rebooted, updated, rebooted and since then everything is okay again.

I ready many times about problems with updating and therefore I tried this method and it worked, at least for me.

[Xperia Z Android Development] gcgspain:
Is it the theme that was posted a few pages back? Because I am using a stock theme and unlocking lags like nothing has ever lagged before.

Whats wrong whith stock themes then??
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I don't know. For me I never recognised problems with the stock theme.

I am using itheme metal at the moment, but you can search in the universal forum for other themes.

I downloaded another theme from the market and that did not fix it either so reading a few pages back someone mentioned animation scales in developer options, I had it on 0.5x, I have set it to 1.5x and the black screen is barely visible.

Could you please tell me what speed you have set?
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
I am using the stock settings, 1x.

I have only forced gpu rendering enabled. That's all.

I am using some xposed modules, but with no changes to lockscreen.

Maybe that's the trick, I don't know.

[Xperia Z Android Development] gcgspain:
I have'nt any lockscreen changes either. Disabled "force gpu rendering" as I saw no diference.

1X is far better that 0x or 0,5x but I still see a black screen. I gues it is just the way it is. Thanks for your help.

[Xperia Z Android Development] bruce1x:
According to some threads on here you can't restore a backup if you change your kernel.

But according to this you can. http://www.overclock.net/t/1104912/will-cwm-recovery-restore-a-kernel-as-well

One thing I just thought about.. I am using the advanced stock kernel provided by Doomlord, maybe that could be the difference,

but I don`t know.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gcgspain:
That is it then!! For what I´ve read that kernel performs great. Unluckely I have not got round to unlocking my bootloader. It seems I will have to do so as the unlocking black screen is annoying but nothing compared to trying to listen to music....

Wi-Fi HotSpot not working?

Has anyone been able to get the wifi hotspot working? It enables on my phone but I can't see it on any laptop that I use (tested two).

The device is set to be discoverable but still nothing shows up.

Also, no notification appears in the notification bar when I turn the hotspot on, which I would have expected.

I've tried turning off the security on the hotspot but it's still not showing. Any ideas?

I have 5 flashable zips on my phone, I've flashed them all at numerous times, but things like the actual ROM, it's 860 MB. Is it safe to delete after flashing? Same for the gapps, I'd flashed those too, can I delete them?
[Xperia Z Android Development] d31b0y:
Once you have flashed the zip files, they are no longer required. You can delete them.
[Xperia Z Android Development] hercegyu:
I can't install this. Did you copy it over old apk, or install it?

Try to do everything to reduce battery drain, still Google Play Service not let my phone to sleep :angel:
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
while you can always delete them after flashing,

but it is always recommended to keep them in your memory just in case you screwed up your phone while modding something and just in case you did not make a nandroid backup.

at least your files (pics, movies, etc) will still be there and make it boot-able once again.

ofcuz certain stuff will be gone if you did not make the latest backup (like whatsapp or smses)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
You first have to uninstall all updates of play services, before you can install the apk file!

And you should do a reboot in between.

Great Rom :)

Hey,

First of all i want to thank you for the deodexed .230 rom :good:

The first thing i always do with a rooted rom is delete all the sh!t i dont use.

And when i started to do that i saw two maps with Apps (System/App and System/Priv-App) <--------- Why? :confused:

I merged them together for better overvieuw (Put all files in System/App Map)

And my phone is running 8 hours without any problems.

Got one more thing.

If you installed this rom then dont forget to disable NFC unless youre using it.

There is no icon that shows its on...... but it is and it DRAINS your BATTERY.

Cant wait for the Black Rom ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] bruce1x:
Battery drain

see screenshot! it was fully charged before being unplugged it has been hardly used. all apps have been updated and moved to system app ( i replace/delete old ones and wipe dalvik cache. is this a problem with google.android.gms.apk. i have no google plus installed. kernel is stock.

Bro [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION]

All fine on my XZ and totally no problems, great job !! ^^

To all the people: i am just curious if you did a clean install and like i said, no problems for me with this rom ;)

Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Android Development] bruce1x:
Always a clean install. Maybe it's not such a good idea to start moving applications around etc, I don't now. I don't think that there is a problem with the rom just the kernel and I know that this will be addressed by sony in due course.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Most of the users faced the problems first after a few days, but I think it's more related to the Google services update from 19.05.

I just can say,that after doing the update manually again the battery drain is gone!

Have fun with your XZ! :)

I´m on locked bootloader, did a clean install, no battery drain at all, had to disable NFC, Location and LTE and battery usage is more or less the same as 4.3.

Nevertheless, I do get music stuttering and a noticeable lag (black screen) when unlocking the phone, this two really gets on my nerves. All in all, this ROM seems laggier than 4.3 but I can put up with that.

I just wonder how some of you do not have any issues at all, are you on stock kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Pandemic:
hmm oke i see well i aint having those problems like i said even no laggy or even a small lag and also no music stutter, all just fine but yeah then is it strange by you buddy and yes i am on stock kernel, no unlocked my bl yet and aint will happen i think ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dasloewi:

I'm one of those without any issues! Stuttering is gone since I followed the advice for trickster mod some pages before...

[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
were you the one that suggested to uninstall google play services then let it update again?

cuz i saw it a few pages back and i did just that:

- uninstall UPDATES on google play services

- let it update again through play store

and my battery only drained 1-2% in a 6 hour idle time frame. which is considered okay since i have some apps running/syncing in the background

- wifi off/scanning disabled
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Yes,that was me. But sadly it comes back again today.

I updated once again and now everything is fine at the moment ,but I guess in 2-3 days the drain will start again.

It's really weird, but after a while some Google process is locking up the device and blocking deep sleep!

I am really thinking about going back to the leaked version, because this was running without any problems for me.

Battery update

Todays screenshot a little later than lastnights, but is an interesting one. BeDesireS you are 100% on your findings!

Did the uninstall and rebooted into recovery wiped all cache's and rebooted, then using aptoide found an older gms apk and installed. Thinking google play would see this as outdated I installed small crappy apps and deleted (trying to get an update notification which did not happen) anyway I opted for the latest version on aptoide and installed. Interestingly the one I have installed is exactly the same as the one I moved into my ext-sd, (I did this for an easy backup). the only difference being the installation going from system app to data app.:)
