Hello

This ROM is great, been trying it out for about 8 hrs, never encountered a problem except the no-sound call bug, I've read that the solution is to flash the rom again without wiping and selecting an option from the aroma installer, but my problem now is, my xperiaZ doesnt go to recovery, I have tried installing it again with the installer using a pc, it says finished, but after I go and test it out it wont go to recovery. I have noticed that the light from the phone is Red, normally I would see a Green light then after pushing the volume up button it goes to pink, then recovery, but now it wont. Please help me on this.:(

Recovery issue

Ive also faced this dont try the recovery option fgrom reboot menu

Genearally press vol + or - while you switch on

Dont leave it till you go to recovery
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
flash dual recovery 2.6.3 (stable)

it works. i tried it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] smallchi:
Tried flash other .230 rom, also got FC problem for android.phone

Finally, I did flash ftf again, and flash the rom, the problem was fixed.

No more FC for android.phone, and the "Call" button never dismiss.

Update: although there's no fc now...... but the Call button missed again!!!!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] chopper:
alright, will definitely avoid doing than from now on.

what recovery exactly are you referring to, and also I cannot flash if I cannot go to recovery, pressing UP or DOWN button doesnt help, maybe an error occured or the rom itself deleted my recovery after flashing the ROM. I will try the clean installation again and see how it goes.

EDIT:

Got it, flashed CWM 2.6.3 and it booted to the 2.6.3 cwm version, but the next time I tried it, it booted to the touch recovery that I once had. Weird. but its all working now. Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] benzcomp:
when change contact, use "Choose photo from Album", show "Protected picture. Could not add."

how do?
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
the desktop installer.
[Xperia Z Android Development] androidfreak70:
when you select choose photo from album a white photo manger will show up DONT SELECT PHOTO FROM IT just swipe from left to right and you will see a list with a name "open from" select the album icon then select your image

Its most likely the issue from google play services as i can see from your second screenshot.

Follow the instructions here except uninstalling latest version of google play services.

http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/06/05/sony-acknowledges-xperia-z-kitkat-battery-woes-provides-workaround/

Plus turn off auto update from your play store. That worked well for me. No more battery drain.

which rom is better in speed and no bug? official 4.3 or 4.4 custom example eXistenZ Ultimate
[Xperia Z Android Development] I_M_Ken:
from personal experience and opinion, eXistenZ Ultimate is faster than stock 4.3 or 4.4

But it does have its issues. Still a great ROM thanks to niaboc97.

If you want to stick to really minimal bugs, i think going back to eXistenZ Ultra v7 would be the best at the moment

Rom works Perfectly, really smooth. I only have one problem. When I log in with my outlook account in the Sony mail app with exchange, my runs out pretty quickly. I tried deleting the account, clearing app data etc, but it doesn't work. The only thing that works is when I kill the exchange process, but then I won't receive my mail.

I've had it once in an earlier version of this rom, than I had to replace the exchange apk with another one.

Does anybody know the solution?

I know that the screenshots show the Google Services bug is there too, but Exchange is too high too.

Firstly thanks niabloc for a great ROM.

I only have one niggling issue and that is with the Mail app. I have two work exchange accounts and they worked fine on Existenz V7, in this ROM exchange didn't work at all, so I loaded the emails as IMAP but so far I've only managed to get one working but that could be the settings.

Anyone else had trouble with exchange, anyone got it working?

Shall I try a clean flash?

I just got my phone back how I like and don't want to do it if this is a known bug, I'll wait for the next update.

Thanks again niabloc for some great ROMs.
[Xperia Z Android Development] androidfreak70:
i cant say alot about google service and mail app battery drain because i dont use the mail app and dont have google service bug...

but try full wipe and REinstall the rom from internal sd not external sd! to get better things and may fix your problem!

And maybe try to get the mail apk file from somewhere else and replace it with this one. This may help

Just use the patched exchange and semcemail apks posted here:

or you can use the ones from 4.3 rom, if you prefer stock apks.

pushed to system / priv-app. Set to right permission and reboot.

The apks provided only have two options pop3 and IMAP but don't have exchange activesync.
