I never had reboot issues with this ROM.

However, I can understand your frustrations as I realised that sometimes, things just don't work for the same phone when on different ROM while others have no issues. Try to do a fresh clean install again.

Can anyone help me with mediaserver battery drain???
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Clear cache and dalvik cache once a week.. And i think from lookin at the SS u provided, u have listened to some music and probably some other media stuff, which brings the media server.. So i think its normal..
[Xperia Z Android Development] vikrant7027:
This time no music bro..only browsing some net
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Try doing what i said in the prev post and then report.. Normally all media apps like Album, Movies and Walkman and also some of the games integrated to facebook bring up the mediaserver.. Also videos from the internet in your browser or youtube will do the same.. I actually know for sure the ROM is fine, no problems for me with battery life nor performance..
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:

I just wanted to say that i didnt have any issues with stock 4.4 and with this beautiful rom, no battery drain, no reboot, no force close, nothing. Its working like charm with lots of apps. Mb this is not perfect rom but its so damn close to perfection!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mekee85:
Anyone expected 1.5.5 never go to deepsleep? I have this problem, but can' t find answers for this issue...

I'm on stock kernel, locked bootloader, and i installed 1.5 over existenz v7, and then the 2 ota update
[Xperia Z Android Development] Sargos76:
Maybe it's better a fresh install from v1.0 and then do all updates via ota(backup and do all wipes)

Hey guys need some help here. I keep getting this error even after cleaning cache and dalvik. Any ideas what is causing it? Its.definitely my email client but why is it doing so?View attachment 2836138
[Xperia Z Android Development] Moesappel:
On what version of the ROM are you? This is fixed in version 1.5.5, by the way, we cant say what causing it if you don't upload a log or something.

Press thanks if I helped you! ✌
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evaravenspell:
Yeah i am still on 1.5.0 coz i keep timing out during the OTA update. So i havent updated yet. If its fixed in 1.5.5 then ill just wait till it finishes downloading [emoji2]
[Xperia Z Android Development] klemen241:
i get error on downloading 1.5.5 at the end, around 95 or 97% it says error downloading, any ideas?
[Xperia Z Android Development] xswistaqx:
Through OTA or browser? I'd suggest using your PC to download the update as the OTA updater seems to be buggy. I tried downloading the update through it a couple of times but to no avail.
[Xperia Z Android Development] klemen241:
yes i tried throu ota. how do you mean throu browser? there is only link for 1.5.0

nwm, if anyone else needs it its here : http://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/?page=search&query=ultimate

or direct link

Hi there!

I'm solved the deepsleep issue of mine...

Done a clean install, and now i have deepsleep, aaaand the agressive battery drain is gone :)

I'm not sure what cause the problem, but it's ok now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Aresmar:
I have been using an old custom rom for sometime but I want to change my rom. This rom as it seems very nice one!

But I saw 2.0 is coming and I will do a clean install so should I wait for 2.0 if it is released soon or should I just install 1.5.5 right now :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evaravenspell:
I think you should just install this version now and feel the nice rom :) im sure we dont have to wipe clean if we go to 2.0

Can I manually install the Xperia with Flickr extension?? Or if we could have it as an optional in the next update?? I'd appreciate it extraordinarily! Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Android Development] F4113n:
Hello! After updating from 1.0 to 1.50 I noticed that phone heat up really quickly after starting any app. Gps not working correctly anymore with weather apps and I cant get automatic mobilenetwork configurations from download option. It always fail no matter what I try. Only problem for me in 1.0 was that self contact bug while trying to change information. I think I roll back to 1.0. I can live without self contact

Sorry my bad english.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Nothing related to OTA updating or rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] X10_minipro:
Anyone experiencing heavy "lag" or delay from the moment you press one of the navbar keys (mostly noticed when you press multitasking or home)?

I know it's not a big problem, but I'm bothering me so much on it so I'm thinking about changing ROM, and that's a shame, cause stock based niaboc79 built ROM = epic.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
About 1 sec when pressing multitask button and about 0,5 sec for home button.

I wont change rom for this (is another rom faster on this?)

Love Existenz Ultimate... It probably makes me continue with Z for another generation of phones. I skip Z2 and probably Z3 just because my Z runs perfectly with this rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Nothing related to the rom ;)

As I said previously, I don't have any lag at all, nowhere...

All in my rom is exactly identical as stock in performance. Go in development settings and set all animations level to 0.5 ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
Get this alot :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] X10_minipro:
Around 1,5 sec for multitasking and 1 sec for home.

Could it be because of kernel swap (xz v25) or should I just accept that it's like this on stock based 4.4 ROMs?

Thanks for your time and answers.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
I use xz v25 kernel too, so I doubt it is because of that.

Waiting for doomkernel with kitKat support.

I think this minor lag has nothing to do with either existenz nor the kernel. It has probably everything to do with Sony and our hardware.
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
How do i change the lte icon to 4g icon in my statusbar? Is there a xposed midule for that or a build.prop tweak?
[Xperia Z Android Development] gripfly:
Gravity Box ;)

Me too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] X10_minipro:
I could be because of Sony / stock ROM then. I know it's not our hardware / phone since I didn't have this much delay on Slim ROM.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kocane:
Have you tried changing your governor?
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
Is gravitybox now playing nice witg the battery icon-percentages?

Butt im staying away from gravitybox,last couple of tines when i had it installed my phine whent grazy and if someone called me they hear that i rejected the call :s and i couldnt call either....it just wouldnt connect so no gb for me ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
There is no issue with gb for me, including the battery icon percentages.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evaravenspell:
This is not rom related i think. Its more like facebook's problem. I get these error on my note 3 and tablet too [emoji4]
[Xperia Z Android Development] khan663399:

I don't know what happened with my xz. It's not going to sleep. I mean when I press power button it's not working for display off. But I can switched off with this. After a reset it's going to work. It's a bug or something I don't know.

IF I HELP YOU PLEASE CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON

[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
Thats wierd....i came from aosp dirty unicorns and over there it works perfectley

So i think it is rom related
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
I'm not running this rom, but I can 100% guarantee you that it isn't a rom issue. I'm in the Facebook beta programme and they've been trying to fix that issue for several releases now. I intermittently get the issue on my rooted stock 230 rom as well.

Edit - I just went to reproduce it and it happened on the second video I played.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Evaravenspell:
Like what he said hehe. Yes it happens on stock roms too.. ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] vikrant7027:
Formatted sd card and internal storage, wiped cache and dalvik cache,still mediaserver drain persists.
[Xperia Z Android Development] RJASSI21:
On almost every kitkat rom I get really bad home menu lag and multitask lag also screen mirroring doesnt seem to work TV just says connecting and doesnt do anything any help?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
I did some research mate.. Its the bug from actual 4.4.2.. Not the ROM's.. So any ROM based on 4.4.2 will have this problem which actually doesn't drain much battery because i am getting same battery results from 4.3(Never used 4.2.2 or 4.1).. But all these are fixed in 4.4.4 which is likely to come according to some websites and their sources.. Although i don't really believe those sites... :silly:
[Xperia Z Android Development] X10_minipro:
I'm having really bad home menu - and multitask menu "lag" / delay. Didn't have this on latest slimkat though. So you're not alone.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Maybe related to Sony build but not me ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] androidfreak70:
+1

I have this in all sony kitkat roms

Xperia™ Z (C6602) with tapatalk
[Xperia Z Android Development] RJASSI21:
Yeah I usually stay on existenz rom but since I decided to try a different rom it became fairly laggy but was fine on this rom before I started using different ones dunno what it could be though
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kocane:
One thing I feel like was different in 4.3 is the ringtone audio looping. In 4,3 I could barely notice that the sound file was looping but in 4.4.2 it's extremely audible? We're talking about the exact same audio files which is present in the rom by default (BeatPlucker.ogg)
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
I have a new alpha build of the facebook app (got it from apkgalaxy) and it workes great,if someone is interested i will post it if i may do so

Keep up the good job :good:

One question how can I remove the second shortcut that comes when you slide from bottom of screen to up at launcher? There was only google search on my old rom now it has "whats new" or something like that in that radial bar too? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:

First of all, thank you for your smooth rom as always. Enjoying it very much, thank you! :good:

But, i have a problem which i cant find the solution to, would you care to look or maybe explain?

Wallpaper

When i set my wallpaper, it doesnt centre to the centered homescreen, my wallpaper starts all the way to the left screen. Is this a KitKat issue? Has the homescreen start screen changed in KitKat?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
How do I flash the kernel included in this rom without wipe anything? I'm now using XzK 25 and want to go back to this one.
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
According to the OP in the XzKernel thread, the kernel can be uninstalled using the Aroma installer. I don't know the functionality of this option, but I assume it may restore the kernel you were using prior to flashing.

You could also reflash this rom with no wipe and that should flash the included kernel.

If nothing else works, flashing just the kernel from a stock 230 FTF should work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
Hmm, so if I uninstall it with aroma from XzKernel, my recovery wont be affected? (I installed XzK because i couldn't boot recovery after ~2 weeks with ExistenZ)

If I use the 2nd alternative, should I flash the main rom only? Or with both the OTAs?

The third alternative with definitly make me not gonna boot into recovery, right?

Thanks //Trehjulingsleffe.
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
If you're using the recovery included with XzKernel, then replacing the kernel will remove the recovery, regardless of how it's done.
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
My guess is that since recovery and stock kernel are both included in this rom, reflashing the rom should give you both the recovery and stock kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:
I just flashed V1.0.0 of the ultimate rom coming from eXistenz V7.0

but can't get into recovery to flash the updates .. the green light turned into red then the phone boot into system normally !!

am I missing something
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
Did you wipe all and do a fresh installation?

You can install the nut dual recoveries using window.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tuckycv:
I have a question so if someone can help me, I gave a C6616 which a variant of the C6603 that's supports lte band 4,if I flash this Rom, which I understand is a C6603, would I loose band4 support? Or is it not software dependant? Tha KS in advance.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dhickory:
LTE should still work. It has always worked on my C6606 which is the US T-Mobile version. Some custom stock ROM's have 4G only icon in status bar, but it will still be LTE as long as you download internet settings or input you APN's.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tuckycv:
Thanks I'll try it. If it doesn't I can always come back to stock.
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
Does google service batterydrain ever get fixed? All off the sudden i have this massive drain and nothing seems to be helping
[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:
Why fresh installation?

It's written if you come from V7 you don't need to do a fresh installation

Just wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache

Ok if I can install the dual recovery, can you tell me the best version for this rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] superangel16:
When you flash the stock rom to install the recovery and Al those, exclude baseband from flashing via flash tool and you will save the lte.
[Xperia Z Android Development] timchew:
Op

That's what I meant by fresh installation, wipe everything. :)

For nut recoveries, I have been using version 123 without issue.

You can get the most updated one here. V146

http://nut.xperia-files.com/
[Xperia Z Android Development] wwaleed:
that's how fresh installation works as written

anyway thank you I'll try that version

[Xperia Z Android Development] Aresmar:
I have a huge "google play services" battery drain on my 3rd day of using the rom. What is the real solution for this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dhickory:
Did you read the second post?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
DoomKernel with this rom? Not possible until he releases v23.

Just flash this rom and it will automaticly flash the correct things with a new kernel and working recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Aresmar:
I have read that post and many others claiming that they solved it. Google play services has been updated many times since that post of Sony. Thats why I asked if there is a final definitive solution which the users of this rom also have found or not?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dhickory:
It's not necessarily rom related, and this thread is filled with the same question and very similar responses as is the General section. My battery on 4.4 is much better than on 4.3, and I always have the same setup. I've always uninstalled Google+, Hangouts, and Photos after flashing, and I always use the latest Google play services. If uninstalling these apps and/or downgrading play services doesn't work for you then you'll have to wait on google. I've yet to experience the play service battery drain bug.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Aresmar:
I never said it is because of this rom, I was asking it here because I have experienced this bug when I am using this rom thats all. And if the users of this rom has solved it. Maybe you misunderstood. I am trying now all the suggestions thats in the sony's post I will report tomorrow. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] S3R6PH:
Well i am using: Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.4.2-230_v13 http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=Wl9Eb29NTG9SRF9BZHZTdGtLZXJuZWxfRlctNC40LjItMjMwX3YxMw==

And its working perfectly, is much faster then with the kernel what you have in this ROM (i think is an stock kernel),

but, how i sad, i have now with this kernel 2 recoverys on my phone!

Just try and you will see!

If any solutions, PLS share! :D

[Xperia Z Android Development] mohdsubaie:
Yes I do and it makes jack of a difference whether you flash the files from internal or external sdcard. In fact it is better to have them on the external sd card in case you accidentally wipe your internal sd.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BeDesireS:
Sorry mate, but advanced stock kernel from doom is nearly the same as stock.

Just with root and recovery, but nothing tuned.

At the Moment, xz kernel V25 is the only tuned stock KitKat kernel around.

But it works great.

In context of previous posts and adding a confirmation to the above reply for the person.

Please stop spamming this thread with battery issues and complaining that there is a problem after upgrading to Existenz v1.5:eek: or any Rom based on KK, i suggest better do some homework and then report a issue.

FYI/A;)

After the release of 4.4.2 , Everyone had Huge battery drain issues on their XZ, Sony has acknowledged it on the first day itself and provided a work around (Downgrading to previous version of Google play services as 4.x.x. had issues), Sony have reported this issue to Google and were waiting for the next version to be released.

Google play service V5.0.84 is out now , which fixed battery drain issues.

If you still think its of no use even after updating to v5.0 try this
