First, awesome rom ;)

Can you add the gingerbread offscreen animation? Would be cool!
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
This is the only way to do it... I told it in thread. If only you would have search...
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
1) server busy, just wait.

2) nothing related to the rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BerndStrom:
Tbh, I've searched the whole Xperia Z forums for DRM or restriction or something similar and I couldn't find anything, that's why I was asking.

Maybe I suck somehow on this search engine, but I've tried.

And maybe also I've misunderstand you.

I thought you meant directly on set contact photos, swipe right. Sorry for bothering.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Add free sms, unlimited data, a coffee maybe...

The complete rom is installed in system partition. You could install the rom from an old 3"1/2 floppy it would be identical.

There is no link between rom performances and the place where the install zip is placed.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
I mean select album here.
[Xperia Z Android Development] simbawimba:
Awesome update to the ROM, really love the AROMA installer. First ROM I've used with it.

A silly question probably - I used to have 4G logo but now I have LTE, this doesn't make any actual difference does it? This is just an icon thing right?

Also on the OTA updater it says

Any idea why?

We don't have any luck with new Google play service v.5. It's also draining battery ?.

[Xperia Z Android Development] mervluk:
Rom is fine for me. Stable and no audio issues with the two updates, including the audio volume mod. Battery drain for me seems about the same as 4.3. v1 installed from ext SD without problems, though I found it cleaner reverting to 4.2.2 instead of upgrading directly from 4.3, but that may be just my phone.

Does anyone have Exchange Active Sync working? I get server error on setup, though can set up just e-mail normally to sync with my Office 365 account, and use the Outlook app to sync calendar and contacts with the device, to provide a workaround.

Is anyone using [SoundMod][Z/ZL/ZR]BlasterZ SoNiCo New Gen V12 | SilenT makes perfect | 4.4.2 SupporT successfully on this rom with the 1.5.5 update? Does it offer any audio benefit to this rom, as I do quite a bit of streamed audio and fm listening?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dhickory:
Yes, just an icon change. I have only 4G icon in ROM i'm using, but I know it's LTE. I believe it has to do with the region the original firmware is from.

You could try the suggestion 1 page back.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Chronic2k13:
Got no issues with v12,apart from no audio calling on headphones or loudspeaker!! Fine on bluetooth though!! Which is mainly what I use being a cyclist!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dhickory:
I have significantly better battery life on 4.4 than I did on 4.3. My phone usually sits idle all day, with the exception of a few texts, and I'd leave work with around 50-55% on 4.3, and now I leave with about 85-90%.

I've always uninstalled Google+, Hangouts, and Photos, and always use the latest Google play services. I've yet to experience the play service/battery drain bug on 4.4.

If you use those apps then you're only chance would be to uninstall play services updates and/or updates of those apps, AFAIK. It's a shame v5 didn't fix this.

I m also having lag in pulling notification bar sometimes.Did fresh install from internal storage with cwm..plz help...thnx in advance.
[Xperia Z Android Development] khan663399:
Yes I know I can do this, but in 4.3 I always used Google search and location service. And it was amazing battery life.

IF I HELP YOU PLEASE CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON
[Xperia Z Android Development] visualfighter:
I only turn off google location and service , but still using G+, facebook, bbm, whatsapp, livescore, etc. No greenify or else.

I also experienced battery drain after flashing kitkat rom. the battery went from 100% to 80 something % , even when I sleep ( idle) in night :eek: .

Then I tried to recalibrate the battery with an app from playstore. Something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration or this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ignisoft.battery.calibration ( I forgot which one :D )

Now my xz battery life seems pretty normal to me.. Charging 1x a day, every 10 pm ( on condition about 20-30% power juice left). Just like when on 4.3 :highfive:.

Just make sure you use original charger when doing the calibration thing
[Xperia Z Android Development] bern4d1:
I think this is quite good battery life for this ROM.

There's a problem that I was having on 4.3 as well as on 4.4.2 now.

Sometimes when I bring up the 'recent apps' menu, nothing appears. It doesn't say "no recent apps" or anything (because there are some) it only shows the 'close all' button. Then if I press the recents button again it will most often show all the thumbnails of recent apps.

I dont suppose it got something to do with the fact I've removed the SmallApps launcher APK, so it wouldn't appear anymore? If so - is there a more failsafe way to get rid of the smallapps junk?

[Xperia Z Android Development] SonyMan7:
My Google ▶ Services are already in version 5.0.82. They have updated by themselves without me doing anything! Although I am still noticing, a more than it should be, battery drainage! As I read from previous posts it should take a day or two to settle, though I am not aware of when the services updated! I will wait and see. Thanks for the immediate response! Hope to see a more descent KitKat update for our devices from Sony soon, since all we have is KitKat's goodies but performance! Even xda premium app lags a lot when I swipe for pages to change... Sth really annoying since on 4.3 all animations were buttery smooth. KitKat has a serious problem on Z concerning animations generally. Should we have "Force gpu rendering" enabled in this rom for a more animation friendly experience or is it fine as it is?? I really can't spot any difference either by enabling it or not... :-S

And most importantly packed features of the ROM makes my phone complete.. I feel like i am using a Z2.. Even camera has improved in KK.. Thanks to niaboc79 for porting a couple of features for the camera.. v1.5.5 fixed the call bug and i am really happy to stay with the ROM.. As always, Pro's are Pro's..
