[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
I WAS WONDERING HOW I CAN FLASH THE SONY'S STOCK KERNEL ON A CUSTOM ROM LIKE CYANOGENMOD AND AOKP

BECAUSE ALL THE OHER KERNELS HAVE REALLY BAD BATTERY LIFE

IS THERE A WAY TO RUN CYANOGENMOD ROM ON SONYS STOCK KERNEL ???

I LUV THE SONY STOCK ROM BECAUSE OF ITS BATTERY,BUT I ALSO LUV CYANOGENMOD BECAUSE OF ITS CUSTOMIZATION AND LOOKS

PLEASE LET ME KNOW, IM STUCK GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SONY'S FIRMWARE AND CYANOGE :confused::confused::confused:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
First, here are steps in turning off caps lock:

http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-Off-Caps-Lock

Secondly, please search before you post.

Thirdly, if somehow you just can't find what you're looking for:

No, you can't use Sony's kernel on CM11 based ROMs.

You can flash Doom's advanced stock kernel which is just Sony's stock kernel with added recovery via recovery if you want to switch back to stock-based ROMs. It is found in Doomkernel thread, please search for it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Even we would really like to see AOSP/CM/MIUI on stock kernel, there's no luck...

But...

There are some projects trying to build MIUI on stick kernel so join them and try to help...

..hehe.. Here are steps for turning off caps lock...haha....good one...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
great help :p

first, i would turn off the caps lock key if i could, its broken :p

second, if u cant answer the question right, dont bother trying :p

third, thanks for the little help anyways :p
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
Hey, at least I helped instead of telling you to search yourself like you should all the time. Is everything working fine now?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
yea, thanks for that

and no, i couldnt get anything

its just that th custom roms for xperia z1 dont have the same battery llife as the sony's stock rom

thats all :mad:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechExhibeo:
CM,PAC other custom roms need custom kernel only..

there are no chances they work on stock kernel....

stock based roms only work on stock kernel
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
so in conclusion

is there any custom rom out there for xperia z1 that has a really good battery life ?
[Samsung Gear 2] noctrin:
I have a Nexus 4 and followed the tutorial on how to get things working on it in regards to the gear. Most of the stuff works now but i have an odd issue with s-voice:

When i open it on the gear, it will run, but the first time i run it after a restart, the phone shows an error: "Unable to get VoiceEngineWrapper"

On the gear, the voice sounds distorted and pitched with some weird echo. It also replies with "I didn't catch that" to whatever command i give it.

I tried to google the error i'm getting on the phone since i'm assuming it's connected, but nothing comes up. I was trying to get the google now voice engine to replace the s-voice tts since i've heard it can be done but i can't find any info on how to do it. Only thing i found was settings-tts-download us voice and set it as default.

If anyone smarter than me has some ideas on what in the world that error means or what else to try, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] hg10163:
I have the very same problem on a Nexus 5 device.
[Samsung Gear 2] TheRealTricky:
Same issue here. I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find any solutions. I've seen videos of people using s voice on the gear 2 with a nexus 5, but not sure what firmware versions, etc. they are using. Are there any other threads or solutions out there?
[Sony Xperia ZL] gigacats:
I just installed kitkat and like the others, battery drain happened to me. When I saw application list in setting I realize something unusual. Some application shows 0 bytes size! What do you think about it? Is it bug so Google play service also can't find some app or module in system ?

And I also realize sometimes my light sensor doesn't work but after restart it sometimes working well again .

NB : I did clean install

[Sony Smartwatch] armando58:
Ok, I have a big problem with my SW2. Last day I wanted to charge it and this happened. I can't open the charging port anymore! Any ideas?
[Sony Smartwatch] adrianmignogna:
Maybe try using a small Screwdriver and push it in the top slot of the port. (It will probably scratch your device a bit, but it's better than nothing, right?)
[Sony Smartwatch] ben.cordy:
This is exactly how mine was when I got it used. The oval rubber type thing pops out with a tooth pick or as suggested above a small screwdriver. I hunted for ages for a replacement but ended up having to make a new port cover from some of the watches packaging that is a similar material. As you still have it just super glue the oval port seal back onto the cover and you're done!
[Sony Smartwatch] kill_dano:
Mine fell off the other day too. Super glue doesn't seem to hold it very well. I put it back on but it's fallen off 3 times. Every time I cut out the old glue residue and re-attach.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
- What are the changes, improvements, new features?

- How is the memory footprint compared to .210?

- Any known bugs from previous .210 remaining?

No need answers like: "Performance improvements", "smoother interface", better user experience", and any other moniker like these.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Is it me or do I miss something?

I tried it for 3 days. I fail to see the progress. I didn't not experience a better user experience, memory management is horrible, bugs not eliminated.

If I'd plan to run 4.3 I'd use the Lite .210 ROM from Doenen.
[Sony Xperia ZL] vistax86:
Hey there, I've been using Xperia ZL for around 6 months now and it suddenly started losing network, randomly it will reboot. And one fine day it didn't turn on..I just get SONY logo for 3 seconds then restart.

I gave my phone under warranty in Sony Service Center..its been a week and they called me yesterday tell me that your phone has some internal motherboard problem, but current we don't have stock of that..so we can provide you with a new Xperia Z if thats fine with you.:mad:

I said its fine but will it be a brand new piece? They said that it will be brand new but you wont get it like fully packed with box and all.

Also they asked me which color I want..

will get the phone in 1-2 days..

is this some kind of trick? providing me a higher model of phone for free?

please suggest.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anagramgenius:
if it's new, why wouldn't they give the phone packed in box:eek:
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
What? Xperia Z is not higher model.

Both were same price over here (roughly) and have the same specs.

Unless you want the waterproof feature, ZL is the better phone in my opinion.

Way smaller bezels, way shorter, infrared, +50mah battery, camera button (!)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Sirence:
The Xperia ZL is almost 100€ more expensive than the Xperia Z in new condition nowadays, so they aren't really giving you a 'higher model', they are kind of tricking you out of your money!

I can only speak for german prices but here are the amazon links:

http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Smartphon...UTF8&qid=1403897688&sr=8-3&keywords=xperia+zl

http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Smartphon...=UTF8&qid=1403897712&sr=8-1&keywords=xperia+z
[Sony Xperia ZL] vistax86:
No its certainly not, the links you sent have Xperia ZL with 4G/LTE and Xperia Z is without that. So obviously Xperia Z will be cheaper in that case.

I saw prices in my country and Xperia Z is priced more.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anagramgenius:
Same here in my country. Z costs more than zl.
[Sony Xperia ZL] vistax86:
Xperia Z

Finally got my hands on new Xperia Z, bdw its totally brand new with those transparent thin stickers, they gave me its box too but with all accessories removed, got two screen protectors one for back and one for screen.

Its so premium than ZL

And i compared the screen with another ZL, it is so much different, blacks are really black, zl has little grayish black both phones at full brightness, and i noticed camera is much better with a higher contrast.

doesnt have IR blaster but thats fine..:)

All hail Sony..love u.

Moving to Xperia Z sections now..
[Sony Xperia ZL] GECF6:
WOW! The very same thing happened with me. The only difference being my ZL was an year old, almost out of warranty(i.e had a couple of weeks to go when I dropped it at the service center). The phone just wouldn't power on. They "replaced" my ZL with a Z saying that they've got no stock(ZL) and won't be able to repair it.

However, the Z what I got was a refurbished one and had it's rubber finish peeled off in many places and the camera lens was scratched as well. They just didn't agree to replace my ZL with a new Z(was in excellent condition except for the power button which had faded off). The Z didn't even come with a screen protector. My ZL had a screen protector and the only real scratches were over the screen protector.

They apparently tried fooling me by offering this as an "UPGRADE". But back then, the reason I purchased the ZL due to it's smaller frame size..

Bloody cheats. Eventually I managed to sell it and got a good deal for another handset..
[Sony Xperia ZL] TitoXx:
I'm having the same issues but my ZL is out of warranty.So it's definitely a hardware issue? :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] gokukaushik:
The best choice is to see the xperia z that they are ready to offer.Check for any external damages.All replacement that you get now from a service center will usually be a used mobile/spare mobile.Since xperia z is costlier and have water proof feature as an incentive you can go for it.Be warned xperia Z does not have IR blaster and camera button as in xperia zl.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bimjunk:
It is quite normal I had a faulty z1 and they sent me a z2 as replacement.... If the stock is low due to low production, they give the one available to meet sla...it probably cost them almost the same... Probably higher to manufacture older models if the parts are not in stock

Just got a verizon s3. It seems to be rooted and is on CleanRom 8.1 on android 4.3. It has the baseman i535VRBMB1.

Can I flash a rom that says I need ML1? Is it safe or do I have to install ML1 first? And is the phone unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cozzbp:
If it's already rooted and has a custom ROM, I assume so. Have you tried booting into CWM?

Nope, haven't tried. Im sure it has a custom recovery. This is the rom I want to install:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608639

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cozzbp:
Try booting into recovery mode (hold Home Vol Up and Power), and see if it's stock or CWM. If it's CWM, it should be very easy to install that ROM.

Install Instructions​

You must be on KitKat 4.4.4 before flashing this ROM

1: Flash the ROM with SafeStrap

2: Flash the NK2 firmware with Odin and reboot.

If you are not on KitKat you will have to flash one of the KitKat full tar files, reroot, install busybox, safestrap and then the ROM. Just follow the instructions in this thread.​

Booted back to recovery. Not sure what the hell happened lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00143:
That makes two of us. If you flashed it on a ROM slot that is most likely the problem. Make a backup of your stock slot, then try installing to that slot. It works no problem on my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] razzrmaxx:
Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aescbrya:
Now im stuck in boot loop

So do you have to create a ROM slot before you can delete the system?

Is there any way to recover my SS recovery instead of odin back to stock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evomattnc:
Can't you pull battery boot to recovery and restore back up?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00143:
A boot loop should not have happened. When you enter SS select the Wipe option and use the "Swipe to Factory Reset" at the bottom. Then go back to the Whipe screen and select Advanced Whipe. Select Dalvik Cache, Cache and System then swipe to Wipe. Go back to the SS home screen and install the ROM. I usually wipe the phone 3 times before I install a new ROM. I hope that helps you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evomattnc:
Lol triple wiped top ensure cleanliness, that's old school. We don't do that anymore haha. We used to do that because there was an issue with cwm not wiping completely I think. It still holds on but it's probably overkill honestly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00143:
Maybe so but it's better than a boot loop and battery pull. I hate to ask but is your phone a Dev edition? I'm hoping it's just a retail version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evomattnc:
I'm not the guy with the issue, I just chimed in because the ole triple flash amused me, sorry for confusion.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00143:
Duh on my part, sorry. I just saw that too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mwshows:
Old habits die hard lol. I find myself double and triple wiping too. Used to be pretty common when I first started back on the Droid X. I got that phone out my junk drawer for my daughter to play with.... Didn't realize how far Android has come until playing with the old DX again lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evomattnc:
Yeah man times have changed, with everything. Rooting has gotten so much easier, just clicking an apk. Some people had to hold paperclips to their dismantled phones in the old days lol. Flashing is less scary, ota root keepers, recovery tools. In my day you had to work for it lol flash and pray you didn't see the splash screen twice. Wish I still had my og evo, still my favorite phone ever.

Post #175 answered this, look up 6 posts :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yes, make a backup first and then wipe as you said. It's always better to use the stock slot so you get all the available space on the phone and to assure a problem free ROM. The only time you should use a ROM slot is to test a ROM, even then there are problems with re-booting and what not. As long as you have a backup you are good to go. I hope you like it, it's running great on my end.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zixx:
I have the same issue is the search bar that doesn't show that "says "say okay Google"

Back then it used to just show up, but now it doesn't.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
[MENTION=4708022]aurelio0718[/MENTION] I want to say it has to do with the search update from Google. I flashed the old search and it said "say okay Google" but it went away after it updated. However I did notice it wasn't working as said before until I flashed the old version. So, flash the attachment then open play store and update it. You will get some search force closes until it updates but it should be good after that. It straitened out here after the update but the text isn't there anymore like the previous version. Sorry for the trouble, the search must not have liked being manually updated in the ROM. I'll upload a fixed version too.

View attachment 2870642

EDIT: The Say Okay Google text disappears after two searches but it still works, it's normal after the update.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry for the confusion when I said it worked here. I never use the search so I didn't realize you could say "okay Google" to open it. I thought you had to poke the mic pic to open the voice part. lol:o It's all good if you flash the file in post 184 and update in the play store afterwords. This ROM should work flawless now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BadKarma81:
So I installed your rom, and everything is good. Although I somehow lost an hour of my time or so... I remember the boot animation flashing like crazy and then... this bright light descending on me... and I woke up in a field 2 miles from my house an hour later........ I THINK this rom install triggers alien abduction.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zixx:
Wow you are amazing !! You get the fixes right away!! And yeah is a silly feature but every now and then I like to ask Google instead of typing heh.

Thanks again !!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
LOL

Unfortunately I found a few more bugs with the text to speech and health services late last night but have them corrected in version 6. I am letting Google update all apps from now on because some were not updated correctly. I also added back some removed apps to get full functionality out of the ROM, except kids mode and some Google and Verizon bloatware. It's all good now and you should be able to do a dirty flash with version 6. It's pretty much the same as previous versions so don't worry, it's not all bloated up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Kept on getting YouTube has stopped message on your 6. build. To me it doesn't matter because i always install am older YouTube app on whatever rom im on. I just renamed it and installed the one i always use. Just an FYI. Nice job on the rom!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Strange, it works great here but I did do a clean wipe. I saw it updated in the play store as well. Same here I rarely use it either. Thanks for the compliment, I'm trying to get all the bugs squashed. That might be impossible because some apps have bugs to begin with.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Yeah i didn't do a clean wipe coming from your previous build but like i said i always use an older YouTube so all is good :thumbup:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mobyj:
Where did everyone go? I love version 6 but where did the flashlight toggle go?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
The flashlight toggle is still in the quick settings pull down. You might have lost it if you dirty flashed. Try resetting the panel icons in the add toggles menu.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mobyj:
Ok... Thanks..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
I dirty flashed and have it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You are correct, it is gone in the edit menu. My son noticed it a little while ago so I checked the edit menu and sure enough it's gone and the reset didn't get it back. I didn't catch it because I don't re-arrange the toggles. Don't worry though, I have a fix and will get a new ROM build out with the fix implemented. I must have mistakenly replaced my secsettings.apk file with a stock one when I was messing around. Flash the attached file and you will be good. I also have the CD installer block patch added to my services.jar that [MENTION=4668174]EMSpilot[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4237879]Versatile1[/MENTION] figured out and posted. Thanks goes to them for that cool fix. For those who don't know it goes strait to media installer when you plug in the phone to the computer.

RicksROMFIX for build 6 only.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
Waiting for fixed version 6. Running version 5 with no problems so far. This is my daily driver for sure!

Question, is there a changelog for the new version you're uploading? I may be blind....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Nope, no channel log yet. It's pretty much the same as build 5 but there are a few more tweaks like gpu rendering and a battery tweak. I also added a few apps like google wallet and a few apps that fixed voice commands and health services. I list the added features in the OP under the ROM description. The upload should be done in about 30 mins or so, it's at 25% now. The fix posted above is only for build 6, the tweaks and apps are not in 5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Build 7 is up, have at it... I also have a fix posted for build 6 if anyone just wants to flash that. It will get you up to par with 7 from 6 only. OP is updated with what is fixed. This should be it as far as I know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Flashed your rom fix zip and all is good. Didn't even notice the flashlight was missing in the edit menu because i saw it in my pull down and thought everything was fine lol. It's in the edit menu now. Thx.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mobyj:
Thanks for the quick fix and v7. Are u still using the international dialer? It seamed to be different in v6.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No problem on the fix. It's the same international dialer as in previous versions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
last night I did a fresh install for Build 6 and had this "Context" pop up constantly, I couldn't even get through the basic setup. So I deleted the ROM slot and created a fresh one and flashed 5.1 and everything was okay except I couldn't get Location to even turn on. So I wiped everything except for data and flashed build 7 and now Location won't turn off but no location lock. Do I have to do a complete wipe and start fresh? My setup is quite involved and it sucks starting over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This is why I recommend installing the ROM on the stock slot. Everything works fine on the stock slot, this is not a ROM problem it's a SS problem. Same thing goes for a clean install. Just backup the stick slot first, then you have something to fall back on if you don't like the ROM.
