PRESENTATION

Since we got KitKat, I wanted something new and different, so I've created a new eXistenZ who will replace old ones.

The main difference with my previous works is that I am not allowing my users to do their own choices, that's why I am introducing the AROMA installer.

The main choice that you can made is the "Main theming" who can be Light or Dark, after that you will see many options, these options are according to me the most usefull ones, no need to have 20 differents systemUI...

MAIN FEATURES

Based on latest Xperia Z build.

All Applications and nearly all features based on latest Xperia Z3 build, others are updated version coming from other Xperias.

All Applications available in Light or Dark theming (Main theming).

Various Quick Settings styles (Default KK, Colored KK, JellyBean, eXistenZ).

Various Caller picture sizes (Default & Full Screen).

Various Boot Animations.

Various Emojis (Sony, Samsung, Apple).

Various Home Launcher options (4 Dock and App drawer choices).

Various LockScreen styles (KK, JB, Real AOSP).

Various Sound Mods.

Various Screen Off Animations (Fade out, CRT Horizontal, CRT Vertical).

Double Tap on Status Bar to turn screen off.

Ringtone & Notifications Volumes separated (Optional).

All Sony's Applications optionables.

All Google's Applications optionables.

Various Keyboards choices.

Various Browsers.

Enjoy the new eXistenZ Ultimate guys ;)

Mirrors are autorized ;)

I've released today because I am going in Hollydays tonight so I won't be there during the coming two weeks.

I have other ideas and stuffs but they are not yet ready so it will be for first OTA or v2.0.0 (If a new build is out).

I need to rest a little, I've spend all my free time since a few months in developping, now I will enjoy some time with my wife and little daughter :laugh:

Cheers

[Xperia Z Android Development] tungnguyen253:
i have same trouble as with Ultimate PureXZ, can not log in my Exchange account, so is it cause of ROM?

Another thing is, in 4.3 (eXistenZ v7) i can use JB Gravity box with feature of Narvigation bar ring

but when i come up to 4.4.2 (Ultimate PureXZ or eXisten Ultimate) with KK Gravity Box, it only show the target of narvigation bar ring, not run the app. Can any one help? ;)

What The Purpose Of This Post ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] troyism:
...you're a moron. There is only the ROM download file and NO firmware link in OP.

so the question remains then. is firmware .230 needed to flash this rom? learn how to properly use ellipses
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Mind Ur Word Mate. ;) If There Is No Link In OP Means Why Don't U Just Search ? Once Again.. Mind Ur Word....;)

And The Answer For Ur Question Is

.230 Does Not Needed To Flash. U Can Flash It Even From CM 11 or 4.2.2 or 4.3.

And Whats This ?

" learn how to properly use ellipses " ?

Problem with vibrator

Hi guys,

I am having problems with the vibrator.. Anyone having problems with that as well??

Tried rebooting/reflashing already.

Sometimes it gives a weak vibrate, sometimes not at all. I have used the service menu to check already. (Just dial *#*#7378423#*#* in your phone.)

Anyone have any idea how to solve it?? Started having problems when I flashed this rom. Btw, I am using XzKernel-24.

An advanced thanks,

OTA Download

Hello,

Could someone be so kind to upload the 1.5.5 OTA on another hoster?

The file on https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/roms/xzexistenzulimate always stops downloading at 83.8mb and is therefore not finished.

Thank you in advance
[Xperia Z Android Development] pjgowtham:
Lol. Dude check out the latest firmware ! Its 4.4.4 . There's no need to post such questions when you can read by yourself with the time you spent creating this post[emoji44]

New update

Any plans to merge the changes in the new .283 update?

I've read that battery is better, camera starts quicker from lock screen and wifi is more stable.

These are all things that would make this great ROM even better, especially improved battery life.

Not asking for an ETA, just a yes or a no
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Ofc the next update i.e v3.0.0 will be based on 283 build only.. ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] MarioJerkovic:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], really great work!! But I have an question, is the super stamina kernel related, or it will be possible to use it with locked bootloader
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Not related to kernel so no problem with locked bootloader ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] chalofito:
Any plans to create theme xperia?
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
8 unreleased themes are done already :cool:
[Xperia Z Android Development] chalofito:
woooooooooooo, you really amaze me, you are a great man,:laugh:
[Xperia Z Android Development] chalofito:
ported this theme you could I leave the files in screenshots, please:o
[Xperia Z Android Development] speedy56:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], just wondering if you could tweak the kernel so we could use our own governors, voltages, and so on.

The problem with custom kernels is that they all have at least one problem, and I only need them for this things (I tweak every governor in Faux app by myself)

Thank you, btw - cant wait for v3, and keep up the good work. I didnt sell my XZ because of eXistenZ :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Pandemic:
Wow eagerly waiting on those themes bro [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

Glad to see you back with a new Xperia Z ^^

You post those themes also in Sony Cross Device Development and any screenshot of it ? :)

Send From My "Personal" MoonWalker Revolution
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
They will be posted in theme and app section for each different devices since they are not universal but framework dependant.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Pandemic:
Oke is cool and oke i see and understand due the framework and 1 last question, are they optimized also for the latest Xperia Z3 ported home ?

Because the outside icons like by "Sappy" stands a little outside the apptray background but i guess that is Xperia Home related.

Send From My "Personal" MoonWalker Revolution
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Don't worry they will be perfect.

My old themes will also be updated ;)

Been waiting this eagerly, the problem I had with v2 is the battery drain and I understand there are fixes to it eg disable location, delete google play cache but it keeps haunting me every now and then! Now I am with stock 4.4.4 and it seems ok in term if battery drain, but still lags a little sometime. I wish the v3 will aim on those issues. Really like your work!

Well i did not find the update mentioned in the first post so asked..and whenever i check it showing 1.5.0 and i was getting ota for 1.5.5 and always get error when i download..apolozise for that..

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

Also, why my phone laggs? Or it slows down even after closing apps..clearing ram does not help and it takes lots of ram..not sure why..

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

I updated the rom from ota website and now i am on 1.5.0 my android version still 4.4.2 anyone can provide link for 4.4.4???
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ben Ling:
Please read the whole thread before asking these questions.

You can boot into recovery by pressing volume up/down when the device is booting and the led light is blinking or just simply press the power button,there's boot into recovery option in the power menu.

Phone lag? Maybe you have less storage left or too many apps installed,rebooting the phone will solve it.

Lastly, the latest version of this rom was based on Android 4.4.2

niaboc79 is working on the 4.4.4 for us,no eta.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ben Ling:
Well have a hands on on the Z3 here

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

Could you make an option in Aroma installer for your upcoming ROM to boost torch power? As we all have probably noticed, Xperia Z has really weak torch power compared to eg. iPhone. There's a thread about boosting Z1 torch power here: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-torch-boost-led-power-using-z1-t2886705

Torch and notification led parameters are in file: /system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg

Line 9 "if_indicator_level" controls notification led current

Line 12 "if_torch_vr" controls torch and video recording torch current

Line 102 "max_if_torch_3a" controls camera flash current

I boosted torch and flash current (line 12 and 102) to 1A and I see a really big difference! The downside is that this could damage the led or at least lower its lifetime. I did a 10 minutes test for torch at 1A current and it didn't get significantly hotter than in original stock current .
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dhickory:
Disable notifications for Update Center, or possibly freeze with Titanium. Though you may not see update notifications for other Sony apps.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Chronic2k13:
You can't!! Just turn off notifications in app settings!!! Worked for me
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
Looks like we all wanna have latest Sony apps for.230 Base and we're al waiting for the new existenz to be released before upgrading to the newer firmware :p

We just can't use our phones anymore without existenz whaaaah :D:D

[Xperia Z Android Development] Mr.Dadulka:
I am impatiently waiting for new Existenz 3.0, I want to switch the ROM and .283 base rom seems to be the right choice. Hope it's going to be ready soon before my patient is getting over and upgrade to stock.[emoji79]
[Xperia Z Android Development] mervluk:
I must be the only one not desperate for the upgrade. I'm still finding new things about the Ultimate rom and am convinced I've not yet got the best from what I've got. Would be nice for everyone else though (and to have it in reserve) but not before it's properly ready so take the time you need dev. I know you will.
