In case anyone is wondering, the camera issues persist on .108 firmware (see here if you want to get it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2798690)

The Google camera works just fine on the rooted .108 fw, but flash CK over it and you're back to needing the camera fix for the AOSP camera and being SOL if you want to use the Google one.

There's probably reasons. But I'm not smart enough to figure that out!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
New build out hope you enjoy! [emoji1]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diyasuki:
I installed the new version, "Root" is not working. Is there any fix for this
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Dev tools/ developer options. Root is disabled by default but always works once activated
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diyasuki:
Its working now, i did an restart and it started working even without enable "Developer Options".

Thank you for the help

Awesome rom and "Circle Ribbon" is amazing ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
How's the camera on this one? Still needs the fix?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The camera is the same across devices and ROMs that's why the work around fix was made. Just use the fix on the OP will solve it for now or use Google camera etc....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
My teeth hurt from this ROM :). I am having a problem with pocket mode. I have it enabled to turn on when I take out of pocket. It doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ericguichard:
Amazing rom!

- Which kernel do you recommend for battery life?

- I lost the security setting for sideloading apps (allow apps from "unknown" sources.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
at the moment the only kernels that will boot this ROM are the one included, and the two in my Carbon ROM thread - pure CM (same as this ROM?) and CM with dt2w

none of them will have better battery life than this ROM's kernel.

I'm trying to get the port of Pimped Kernel to build/boot on the changed device tree at the moment but I'm having issues and I have real life as well
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The kernel in this ROM is based on the Slim kernel source and recommend using the kernel that comes with the ROM. CM based kernels specially the pimped kernel is not recommended cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
There you have it :) Slim's kernel is quite good on the battery anyway (well it was when I was running it before 4.4)

Have there been issues in the z1 Candy with pimped?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ericguichard:
Alright, then I'll stay with this ROM's kernel. Which app do you recommend to tweak it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Pimped kernel is unstable for my liking plus it's CM based I rather use the kernel that the ROM is built with...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
I use trickstermod kernel app from PS
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
Does any one how to get the pocket mode for lock screen behavior to work?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Wait this ROM is AOSP based right? Is it possible to use Doom's kernel when its updated to the new sources from 108 which is 4.4.4?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Not all kernels run well on certain ROMs. I take it doom is CM based? This ROM is Slim based but if the ROM has issues if you do change the boot.img. That's down to the user error if problems happen after flashing another kernel etc....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Doom is stock Sony based.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Yeah I thought that but no that kernel won't work on AOSP ROMs
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Makes sense. That means the GPE Rom we have isn't AOSP after all. I was thinking that it was.

Anyways, I am enjoying your Rom, however I do miss Theme Chooser. Lol; HKThemer will do for now. I did the most NOOB thing ever last night and switched my SDCard File System type to Fat(it was exfat and wasn't seen by the Rom), and I totally spaced out the fact that the card would be wiped!!!

Do you know if there are any plans in incorporate Theme Chooser into Candykat?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
If you want to get the files back off the card try photorec, the best recovery program ever
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] arxxx:
which one is better? this rom or paranoid?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
I would go for this rom anytime. It's light, stable, fast and very good on battery :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] arxxx:
[MENTION=5174524]halifage[/MENTION] im in paranoid now, how to instal this? just flash this rom or clean instal?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
Always clean install to avoid any issues
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
Best ROM i've tried so far for Z Ultra.

I had to update with the latest SU ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 ) in order for the SUPERSU to work correctly.

Other than that the ROM is perfect! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Why the ROM as SU just go into dev tools in developer options and enable it there no need to flash a superuser app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
Theme engine implemented in this build?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The theme engine as been on the cards for awhile the reason it isn't in the ROM ATM is because it seems to give more battery drain and in the early stages was making FC and bugs to ROMs it was added too. Maybe in future but at the present time it isn't in the ROM for the above reasons...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ivrsn_des:
this ROM is amazing...thanks!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vivix:
I switched MONX Rom for this one and.... i have to say is PERFECT !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:

I cannot use this ROM without better (increased) DPI or font size change at least.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
If it bothers you that much why don't you use a app from the PS to increase it something like this.... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
I'll set the DPI higher on next update anyone got a idea of what the maximum DPI rate they would like it to be set at? Cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
What have you got it as now? 320 is stock, the GPe version uses 400. I generally use app settings for some apps and set that at 280
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Flashed this rom before I went to bed and just WOW I got to say this is hands down the best rom out there for this device!! :good:

edit: The only thing I miss in the kernel is the option to enable fast charge. For now I will stay away from pimped kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Yeah 320 stock I was just wondering someone was saying they can't use the ROM because of its DPI rate at 320 I'm guessing but if no one else has issues with stock DPI then that's fine :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
You need to be at 480dpi in order to use Themer,

Personally, as cool as that launcher is, I am unwilling to put my phone into grandpa mode just to use it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
In Recent no option to delete all?

by the way very good rom. Stable, fast and battery effecient. I like dark ui.:D

Sent from my Xperia Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
Min 400 for me I am doing whatever I can right now to make things bigger
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
You pinch recent apps panel top and bottom and clear all apps in recent
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Ok so 320 stock is that bad for you guys? Ok I'll see what can do for next update
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
320 is fine for me. Next update? Whats new?:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
I only just released a update ha, I mean for the next one I might change it to 400 DPI not sure yet though..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I would stay at 320, if some one really wants smaller/larger dpi then there are tools that can do that for them
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Yeah the app store provides that so I'll let people who want higher DPI to use a DPI changing app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zost:
For that reason I will stay on GPe version :)

Yes, it bothers me. Various people has various eyes and various feeling what is good looking. That's why apps as Textdroider are invented.

In addition, I see no advantage to have big screen and small objects on it. Particularly on a plain sun.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
I like 320, I've used my Ultra [MENTION=2539186]320[/MENTION] since I purchased it. If you decide to change the DPI though, it's not really a big deal at all. A simple buildprop edit will fix it. Keep up the good work! I love this ROM!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Most people are buying phablets to get more content on screen as opposed to the same amount of content, only larger. And as posted above, it is easy to change the DPI on a ROM with root access (anything but stock) by way of a quick build prop edit.

The GPe was set to 400 to standardize the experience between all phones being sold under the GPe banner, and even then, it is still at the incorrect comparative DPI as apps set to work on 'normal' resolutions will only work on the Z Ultra at 480 DPI.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
Hi! As someone who switched from the GPE Rom to PA 4.4,4 and now to this ROM, I must say this is truly amazing. It is not perfect but it is turning out to be the best example of a developer's work. Here are my suggestions for the next update:

-Please find a way to integrate hybrid tablet, phone, phablet, phone ui dpi mode into the rom-the best feature of the PA roms that no longer exists,

-Add lower DPI setup options such as 192 and 213 to the Dpi on the fly settings

-Please state compatibility with CM11/PA or other Theme Support if not available, please add these soon.

-Expandable status bar with immersive, hover and other options like latest PA would be nicer to play around and see more quick settings on the drop down status bar menu

-Integrated CM11 Volume boost patch would be nicer for louder XZU instead of having to apply manual patch

-Please list features of the Sweetner Packs and change the colour settings of the Aroma Installer Interface for easier viewing of the options during pack setup whilst inside the the recovery.

Thats all for now. Great work and all the best with future development. I hope my suggestions will be taken care of so that my tooth will get sweeter.:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
Would you be so kind as to share the link for the CM11 volume boost patch?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
Here is the link to the thread [Make sure you download only the KK STOCK-CM11 XZ1 file (One for Volume Increase, One for Revert to Original Stock Volume Levels) and flash via Recovery]:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zost:
Most people are buying devices with an idea that they will have a number of customization to adapt it to their needs. As far as I played with this ROM, I did not find font size settings (being standard in this Android version) but with option to set DPI to 320 (or less only). So, it is easy to bother with build prop. But behind of that I always have one question i mind - whether build prop changing on such ROM (without fonts & DPI settings) will work well with all apps that come with it and with all apps that I need to install. And that may increase largely the easy bothering with build prop. More simple - if you need sport car you buy sport car, you don't buy van and make sport car of it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The reason the font sizing was removed from the build is because is conflict with DPI on fly. It seems to be a DPI battle going on in here [emoji23] from the 3 devices I support this only one that seems to have people having issue with DPI.. 320 is the standard setup and I don't see or know of CM or PA changing the DPI setup on this device higher than 320. I don't own this device so couldn't say but as I said before and a few others its easy to change the DPI setting even if the ROM doesn't support it. People forget that the ROMs are built from source and have the same setup device wise apart from maybe a different kernel. This ROM covers a lot of different needs and out of everyone maybe 10 out of 100 will want something completely different.... Hard to keep everyone happy at times [emoji13]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
Works like a charm. Thanks for the link!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
So an update with info on my battery life :)

This is like truly amazing!

Screen brightness

Outdoor: Always maximum

Indoor day: Low to medium

Indoor night: Minimum

Governor is simply Ondemand

Kernel is undervolted by 25mv on almost every frequency and 300MHz is undervolted by 50mv

The result is to be improved. This is only my first charge cycle with these settings.

The first hours you can see a clear decrease in battery. There I was using my phone playing music for about three hours while going on a train.

edit: oh yeah I remember rebooting my device several times after installing some apps and xposed modules while sitting at the train station waiting and just kind of trying to you know make time pass a bit quicker
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Very nice thanks for the detailed battery review [emoji13] yeah it should be better next time has it was for first cycle [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Premananda_laishram:

switching

I've been a while, 7 months on DoggROM, 4.3, dual recovery...well, just look at the screenshot. What would my steps be for switching to this ROM? Do I need to change kernel (any suggestions), recovery, etc. BL is unlocked. Thanks ahead of time.:confused

:confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Instruction's are on OP. Just download the ROM to sdcard. Do a full wipe in recovery flash ROM and fastboot the boot.img if need be...cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Been making some framework glow themes will be added to the sweetener packs soon...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alien1891:
Thanks man! Downloading now will flash soon, excited. Still, any suggestions on Kernels? I'd like to change mine, as it seemed a bit glitchy. Was thinking DoomKernel v20, but just read that was for stock/stock based ROMs only. Looked around in the thread and couldn't find anything. Thanks ahead of time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Recommended not changing the kernel, the kernel in the ROM has no issue with being glitchy maybe its something you done before or after installing the ROM. You can't use stock kernels on a AOSP ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alien1891:
hotspot

Update: ROM installed, Gapps installed, only problem thus far is that my WiFi hotspot tether is not functioning properly. It acts as though it is turned on, and other devices can recognize the network, but will not connect. :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abbychauhan:
Try deleting /data/misc/wifi folder and reboot

Also if you haven't already, ensure your APN settings are correctly configured..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
Anyone else experience low volume with headphones? I have to set the volume to maximum to get normal listening volume. I use the same headphones and don't get this problem with other ROMs.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
No problems here, kernel as faux123 code in. Plus use trickster kernel mod or faux123 app from store. You can even use the Viper4android that's really good here a link for easier download https://www.dropbox.com/s/q7q553wetna4nc5/ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Ok if that helps thanks would be nice [emoji13]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
I just noticed that the volume control on my headphones stopped working so that's probably the reason for the low volume.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Try doing a clean install of the ROM might solve your problem
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
A clean install didn't help. The volume control on the headphones don't work with this ROM. I have now tried 3 different headphones with volume control.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Isn't a ROM issue works fine on all others
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
OK. Then my phone is broken.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
No problem on my device and honami and other users that I know of....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Premananda_laishram:
I like to report a bug. When using Chrome I experience touch screen error (touch registered a little above actual touch area)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alien1891:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ericguichard:
In Settings / Security, I do not see the option to allow installation from unknown sources. Also, I cannot choose settings under advance reboot. Anyone else experience this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abbychauhan:

Thats a known problem with Chrome.. Not a ROM issue

yes no problem with Honami.. try to Change Some Settings in DSP manager
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
I tried that but it didn't help. Thanks anyway.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abbychauhan:
Then Reflash the ROM with Full wipe.. wipe system too
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
I have already tried a full wipe two times.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abbychauhan:
ok then again please tell ur problem with full details
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nyllet83:
After I flashed this ROM (Full wipe) I had to set the volume to max to get descent volume in my headphones. I also noticed that I couldn't change the volume the the buttons on my headphones. I've tried three different headphones with physical buttons to change the volume.

one screen

I downloaded and flashed the ROM. I have to say its nice. The only thing is it only shows one home screen and you can't add anymore screens. Am I the only one with this. If someone knows how to add more than one screen please let me know.

IIRC it's using the Google Experience Launcher.

GEL is like the iPhone's launcher, to create a new page, just drag something from an existing page to the right and it will create a new page. To remove a page, just clear it out.

Thanks. I got it. If there's nothing on the page it automatically deletes the page. Thanks again.

ROM is wicked fast but modem sux

Do you guys have a solution for the modem? The ROM is wicked fast but when I disable Wi-Fi and use just the signal from cellular/T-Mobile I only get one bar, if that.. The Sony stock ROM runs well with two bars, but this ROM seems to struggle greatly.. Love the features and speed, but what good is it if it can't catch a decent cell signal??

Please help!!

those bars in the notification field don't say much.. look at one of these apps and compare with different roms

This wont work as is on a GPe, baseband and wifi won't work. If you try the kernel in the GPe Carbon thread it might boot with working wifi but don't hold your breath.

If you want a custom ROM on the GPe the look at Carbon, Omni or CM for now
