I noticed between your rom and purex I have experienced better performance with PureXZ with existenz I find some fcs and other users do to i recon [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] may have rushed version 3 of his rom and so im stuck between better performance or more features which is what makes both your roms special [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] and [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] I just cant choose between performance or features right now im on existenz and ill have a smartwatch 3 next week so bluetooth unlock will come in handy I like the framework in Purex aswell the coloured text is nice but the system ui in existenz that [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] has made is nice also theres so many things more existenz has over PureXZ I dont know if thats another reason why its a bit buggy but I experience underclocks but I dont know changing roms may be less effort than making them but I love both roms they re great and unique in their own way take this as a review and comparison and a thank you for great features(EXistenZ) and great performance (PureXZ) I suppose if i unlock my bootloader one day and find a dual boot kernel I can have both lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
tried that,but stamina mode still gives me random reboots, and i cant catch it on catlog app
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Firstly I dought the dev would rush his ROM out without testing that everything works as it should. Next you shouldn't be comparing ROMs because I find that disrespectful to both devs. Next I don't know wtf people are doing , because I have no random reboots or any force closes at all. For me this ROM works great [emoji3]
[Xperia Z Android Development] usman_fareed:
yep rom works great for me too :) and those who are complaining about ultra stamina mode, it will reboot when u turn it off its designed that way its not a bug. Check the link for further info https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Ultra-Stamina-Mode-made-phone-restart/td-p/880769
[Xperia Z Android Development] RJASSI21:
Oh I dont have any random reboots either but my notes app fcs on existenz and I wasnt trying to disrespect in anyway I was just saying they both have big differences in their own ways thats all
[Xperia Z Android Development] bruce1x:
My notes app working ok for me. This is the best rom for the z, not found any bugs or lags etc. Credit to a top developer.

I'm about to restore my TA partition an lock my bootloader but I'm afraid of the soft brick. Is this a stock kernel, or a stock BASED kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Xialis:
Flashed this rom, before I was on Exiztenz 1.5.5.

Like the last edition, I had trouble with Exchange account and the email app perpetualy asking for security settings...

I push AOSP Apks found here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/ to solve the issue.

Thank for your hard work !
[Xperia Z Android Development] usman_fareed:
yes its stock kernel and u can relock the bl but its always better to take a backup :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] LosserKlosser:
Thanks!

Do you know if restoring TA and locking BL wipes SD card?
[Xperia Z Android Development] usman_fareed:
nope it does not wipes the sd card :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] LosserKlosser:
This is a bit off topic, but I'm looking to see if you think this could be ROM related:

I'm trying to restore my TA partition with Backup TA v9.9 for Sony Xperia.

I'm trying to do a dry run to test if my backup is OK and then the program hangs forever when trying to push backup to SD-card, as seen below.

Do you think this could be related to me running eXistenZ Ultimate 3.0.0 and not a stock ROM?

I would really like to restore my bootloader and DRM keys so any answer will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Hvilsted.

When you continue Backup TA will perform the restore of a TA partition

in 'dry-run' mode. This mode performs the restore just like the regular

restore with the exception that it will not do an actual restore of the

backup to the device. It will however perform every integrity check, so

you can test beforehand if your backup is invalid or corrupted.

A customisation query!

Hello there

@ niaboc79 and all dear friends, can anyone tell me if the 5 button mod with the visible power button works with this 3.00 version? If yes, does flashing that mod affect any other features of this rom? Also request you to kindly provide the link to the same mod,(i forgot :P).

Thanks:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] satvikvg:
Hi [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION],

There is a heavy delay of 3-4 seconds when I get the voice calls..

Display turns on after 3-4 seconds when phone starts ringing...

I am on locked bootloader..

I am facing this problem only on your rom..

Anyone facing the same or I am the only one out here...? [emoji15]
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
TA partition has nothing to do with the ROM, its the kernel.. Make sure u r on a Stock Kernel before restoring TA.. And also make sure u have enabled Unknown Sources once.. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr.Dadulka:
Have the same issue - annoying as you don't know immediately who is calling and have to wait few seconds.

I think it's just some setting adjustment. Would be great if it can be fixed with next OTA.
[Xperia Z Android Development] khan663399:
Same here also, even with whatsapp and viber. If I lock the screen after 1or 2 minutes I got the notification. This 2 is in white list in my stamina and greenify..

Yeah I had this too, but now I'm using lightning kernel for stock (auto-smp) and that fixed this lag and all other lags as keyboard, opening settings, drop-down menu, anything.. Unlocked bootloader only

you guys can also try flashing kernel of 10.5.1.A.0.292 which is recently released with updated kernel, u can download kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr.Dadulka:
Well, thank you both for hints. I am on UL and stock kernel still.

I'm considering whether I want custom kernel benefits or screen mirroring which i haven't tried yet.

But at least both options can help for call screen delay. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
I recommend the custom kernels.. Especially if u haven't used screen mirror :p if u tweak the kernel the right way u will get great battery life, cool device even while playing game's, and snappy performance.. And me myself, I love that, but may be just my 2 cents.. Anyway, this is a little off-topic here :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] bollix:

You dont have to flash these unless you intend to edit Device Admin settings or if you dial short/4 digit numbers for sms etc.. Many people including myself were getting by perfectly fine without these quick fixes but flashed them anyways just because they are available. Here is what the OP said:

This will fix:

Device Administrators setting.

SMS to short numbers.

Force closing of some games.

Screen Mirroring (maybe).

Performance Control temporarily removed until more investigations.

Is there any way to change the background of navbar icons to transparent ( as they were in previous Existenz )?

The folder background is white even in dark theme. A feature, or a bug? :) Also the folder frame is assymmetrical in 320 DPI. Not spoiling functionality just the customer enthusiasm. :)

The 3 to 4 seconds delay before the screen turns on when I receive a call.
[Xperia Z Android Development] barret95:
Are you that worried about 2-4 seconds of delay when you're getting a call? Seriously....

Do a complete fresh install..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Xialis:
Annoying or not, an issue is an issue. Some peole reports to have this issue and so am I. If only one person have the issue, it's probably a flashing issue but if more people have the same bug, it can be (but not sure) related to the rom. But how to know that if nobody reports it ?

I just recevied a call and this time it was more like 6-7 seconds. It's weird because the overall ui is smoother than ExistenZ Ultimate 1.5.5 ^^

And, I am on a complete fresh install and reflashed once...
[Xperia Z Android Development] barret95:
I understand that some people may have this issue , I admit that I also have this problem however I'm not bothered about it. I've had problems before, I've kept reflashing and doing complete new install more than once if the issue occurs. It may even be ROM related I'm sure niaboc79 will try to fix it. But if anyone who has more knowledge than me it'll be cool to jump in:) all I suggest is to keep doing fresh installation which probably won't help Im not sure just trying to help out a fellow eXistenZ user (:
[Xperia Z Android Development] tg2012:
I also get this problem. I myself am on a locked BL. Not a big deal to me though whatsoever. Everything else is interactive, lag and bug free so far. I have a question.

and the delay about screen wake up while receiving voice call is happen to me too. maybe when u had free time check the issue out( dark themes).
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr.Dadulka:

[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
So I will give (again) a reply for everybody.

The Home is using his stock color who is white. If you want a black folder, do or use a theme who do that.

The delay between ringing and screen on is normal, same as my Z2. So I won't do anything for that!

Remember that the Z is an old phone, you have the latest Z3 features and tweaks, no one else will offer you that, use the rom as she is or use an other one.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Lacerta 1973:
Thank You for the answer!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr.Dadulka:
I honestly confess that most of reported issue lay at questioning users.

So also from my personal experience, think twice before you ask. [emoji6]

...and for example check Tasker if it is not the root cause of your issues. [emoji12]

This ROM is very stable and contains only really few tiny bugs.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Lacerta 1973:
Navbar background transparency problem investigated.

...well, partially...

Wallpaper should only be set with Photo Editor. Setting wallpaper with other app ( e.g. Gallery ) causes the navbar getting a black background.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
I had that problem with an old version of existenz. I solved it by formatting the SDcard. I guess it was some error somewhere on the card.

Try that one, but be sure to have backed up the whole SDcard.
