[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:
i got a couple of reboots. scheduler: SIO , GOVERNOR: SLIM. "system.ui stopped running" always pop up when it reboots. Any advise? Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Maybe a issue with the slim gov. Did you do a clean install of the ROM? I will try the slim gov see if I run into the same issue cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:
yap.. i always do clean flash.. thanks...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:

Video rendering is terrible.. I had the camera fix app installed but it seemed it doesn't work... Hehehe.. Anyway, I know better things will come... Don't worry, it's not a really big deal for me...

note: video solved.... Just rebooted....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
nothing new at this point?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
..nope. Can't find any new files. Last file is uploaded in sep 03

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:
time to look for other ROM?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lexdad86:
Looking on the Candy ROM website and I found an update for y'all from the first. Kinda jealous us GPE owners don't have an update though lol. Link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=16036
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
For the Z1 not the ZU
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lexdad86:
Nope, it says Z1 at the top but actually the builds are for the togari for the link I posted above. But if you go back to the main website for them http://the-candy-shop.co/candykat-rom.html if you click on the Z1 it also shows the Z1 at top but builds are for the honami. So the Z1 ZU and ZU GPE all have the Z1 banner at top but actually have builds for each device. Need to thank you because just now realized one for the ZU GPE was built on Oct. 3 so thank you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
I been busy lately to update thread etc. Check the Candy centre ota apk for updates and links Cheer's
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The links are for ZU as you see togari in the build name
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
i did not see any changelog in there though (may be me), is there a list of changes?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Changelog

Here:

9/28/2014 - 1.6.1

Fixed quiet hours force close

Updated to latest Slim source
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yunsok:
I was installed Ver. 1.6.1. It is very nice room except camera doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
How you mean camera doesn't work? Mine is fine on my build for amami
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ronald_loulan:
Hi guys,do this rom have tap to wake function??

Coz im using v1.58 that have this function...

Search around but didnt find any info that the tap to wake is related to this rom or CM kernel that came with this rom...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
This ROM is slim based not CM, so CM kernels not recommended and tap to wake isn't in slims kernel or supported
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yunsok:
camera was freezing and no response.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Flashalot:
Logcat would help
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The camera freezes a bit at the start that's about it but that's a common problem on aosp with Sony their is a temp fix on Z1 threads some people said it worked on ultra too..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
it does! and now it's built into Slim
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
it was pushed into CM several week ago so most CM based ROMs should have picked it up
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
I can most certainly say, well we are still missing it here somehow.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
The camera fix was included in Slim on 5 Oct, whereas the most recent CandyKat build (1.6.1) was built on 1 Oct. Next build should have it!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Will be dropping update this weekend 1.6.2

Change Log

*brought candy source up to date with slimrom

* added color options to heads-up, thanks slimroms

*added on the go mode (to activate add on the go quick tile, settings/candy interface/notification & QS drawer tiles & layout)

* added Chameleon engine (per add status bar color)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
awesome! wondering if the candy sweetener packs will ever get updated too.. don't like the option of one-by-one changes
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Chima2:
I really want to stay on Candy, but last update I did made the phone unusable, com.phone.android and phone.process or something kept crashing so I couldn't open the call screen no matter what I did. I tried to be smart and made a call from the messages screen, but it still wouldn't open (call went thru though). And my music player, Shuttle, kept crashing constantly. I had to flash to the previous version. Will give this a shot and I'll try this with great anticipation.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abbychauhan:
Do a Clean Flash Again
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zaxharu:
Will i lose xreality engine?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Yes, afraid so. No AOSP ROM has X-Reality.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] suzhipack:
i want to flash this ROM and im from STOCK ROM and rooted.

does this rom can replace daily use rom? just want to know :)

thanks :)

im ready to flash :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
All the custom ROMs are fairly stable so should do for daily drivers. Remember to back up the TA and unlock the bootloader (in that order)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] andypa1:
OTA updates

Hi guys,

Am i doing something wrong with candycentre?

It says that update is available with red download arrow but it doesn't update OTA.

I have to download the zip and flash using twrp.

Please let me know how to update OTA in candycentre.

Cheers,

Andy
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
Yes, when an OTA is available download it, don't forget the gapps, and flash both from recovery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] andypa1:
oh right, not OTA then. Cheers

Flashing new version brings loads of problems every time. Need to re-install xposed module etc

[KERNEL][CM-4.4.4] GreatDevs Kitkat V1 [ OC/UC | UV | F2Fs/exFAT | DT2W | IntelliV2

can this kernel be used?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:
awesome

Just updated to the latest version. Freakin awesome...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
It should boot Candy just fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] suzhipack:
very low speaker. is it normal in candy? should i try any mods for this matter?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
I use blueethers pimped kernel and set analog speaker gain to 3 using pimp my z1 app.

Sound after this is pretty loud, serves for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:
system.ui problem

I have this problem every after reboot. It pops up and if I happened not to click OK on that, my phone will stock in sleep mode so I end up a soft reboot. Wonder if anybody got the same problem? Other than that the phone/ROM is perfect. Thanks...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
no issues for me, but i found that i cannot use the brightness slider from the notification bar area anymore
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] skarfreak:
Well I guess different unit got different little issues..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ljhsquall:
Can I flash the v15 [YKG]True Real Xperia Z3 Files Super Stereo Sound from this link? http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/true-real-stereo-sound-earpiece-t2822691
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
No
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] suzhipack:
does this ROM support exFAT? i have ultra microsd class 10 64gb sandisk. in stock ROM it can support exfat.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ronald_loulan:
Hi,is there anyway to hide my hotspot AP??

I recall some rom have this hidden function and auto off hotspot in 5 min/10min inactivity...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
It will if I add it to kernel support
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hudsonhicks:
Just installed this ROM today seems to work great however i cannot access data/apps in root browser.. the folder is empty for some reason hmm
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Have you enabled root? In dev tools
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] slipknat:
power managment(battery saver or something like that)

hello guys tnx for your hard work. guys can you make a power management section for this rom ? like sonys power managment.please guys this is will be awesome. a custom rom with power managment

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

best i/o scheduler for power saving ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Just download a kernel app like trickstermod and set a gov to power save or conservative
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ljhsquall:
Using a power saving gov somtime means experiencing laggy and poor performance due to CPU being adjust to lowest possible speed.

I think he meant that Sony's own power saving tools does something like disabling mobile data for certain selective apps or all the apps when screen is off.

Reduce mobile data transfer during screen lock should help the battery in the long run.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Stamina mode yeah all it is, is a lazy way of turning background apps etc off when phone isn't in use. But also never said anything about performance just saving battery. Turn your CPU frequency down 1.7 should help battery and keep performance
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tdamocles:
Ne1 having trouble with videos playing in YouTube?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
How you mean by trouble? My device (amami) and the honami doesn't have any issues...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tdamocles:
I solved it. I tried a volume mod and it turned the volume off and stopped YouTube from playing videos.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Seems like this ROM does not like my sdcard. And no sir I did not use format in either areas.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Maybe try reformatting after backing up first. I never had any problems with my sdcard, I always format using the phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
That worked for me, Settings/Erase and now I can see the SD card...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
That's how I do mine, cheers for confirming
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
theme

How do I apply a new theme?

couldn't find ianything in settings.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
You mean CM theme engine?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
yes, CM theme engine or any other way to apply a different theme.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The CM theme engine hasn't been added to ROM at present has it has been making a lot of bugs across different ROMs. Hopefully will be in future updates
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Having an issue with Bluetooth when more than two devices paired (In my case three devices)

After pairing the third device, the phone won't connect to one of the others.

Initially, I had it paired to my Smartwatch 2 & SBH52, then on my way to work, I paired it with my car (Ford Fusion US, Mondeo in EU)

Upon returning home, I found that it wouldn't connect to my SBH52 so I re-paired it with the phone.

Had to make a trip back to work, but now my phone wouldn't connect to the car.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Yeah I remember it being bought up a few weeks ago its been a bug with aosp based ROMs with car Bluetooth devices over a curtain year. I will have a look for the fix again and see can get it sorted for next update cheers for pointing it out. I'm not a Bluetooth user so it kinda slipped my mind
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
Everything PA used to be - for me

Been using this ROM for a couple of days now, really like it. Camera fix works (for me), and I'm TiBackuppingto my SD card like a mo'fo (couldn't do that on Bigxie's 4.4.2 GPe, which is what I came from). I've had maybe 3 total lockups, one that needed a red-button-reset, but I can live with that. Looking forward to running this on .108 once I get around to it - I hear that it will solve camera problems?

Understand the Theme Engine reticence, will wait for an update there, but would really like to see it happen, so fingers crossed.

I love the Pie style, and the second layer apps are a treat! The current PA pie is tiny on this device, and no option to resize it. (Nor is there a DPI option in PA anymore, Hybrid seems to have died on the vine. Speaking of DPI: my tired old eyes need ~360-ish DPI, any chance of a >320 option? ;) )

Dark Candy is superlative. The Candy Interface gives me control over almost everything I need (see above). The whole thing is fast, slick, intuitive, and bends easily to my needs - keep it coming! (And I haven't even downloaded the Sweetener packs yet!)

Many many thanks for such an excellent ROM!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Flashalot:
1.Lock ups may be caused from titanium backup this has happened to me in the past

2.Pie Should have resize options and if I'm not mistaken DPI resize should be in candy interface
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
I don't think TiB was running when it locked up, but will keep an eye to it, thanks. I think it was more the ROM settling.

Yes, Candy has Pie resize options - I was talking about Paranoid Android's pie :) And the DPI setting is there but max is 320. I like to roll around 360 but can't go above 320...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ishaqz:
Slight explanation

Can someone please put up all the recent flaws/issues/bugs for the current release.

Comparing to the current default ROM... is candyKat worth it.... i mean i love mod roms... just not the bugs.

Camera bug still there? and i am getting the smart watch tomorrow... sounds like that will cause an issue... read somewhere the Bluetooth is faulty with this ROM.

Important to install the camera fix app?

That is why want all the bugs one place in the first page post so that can decide...PLEASE...requesting

And can you explain when to install the sweetener packs... i downloaded both and about to perform the ROM install.... after that i should install gapps and then the sweeteners?

Also please provide link to root the z ultra C6833 running on official 4.4.2 and how and which CWM to install.

A complete step by step guide from root to finish will be highly appreciated.... as the rom looks awesome but a newbie to Sony mobiles. Just bought the king of mobiles...z ultra... a month ago.

I know asking for lot :angel:...love the z ultra... and love modded roms... just first time Sony user...too many rom options for samsung and all... sad to see few for Sony... Specially for the awesome Z ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Well for the camera the fix is on the OP and its a issue with all Roms on Sony from my device the (amami) also the Z1 (honami) and even the Ultra. For Bluetooth that's also a bug with car kits that was made before android was even released and I have the fix on my git will be added to next update. For the sweetener packs the main thread is linked on OP that also explains what they are and even on the OP gives a bit of a clue too. This ROM is very stable and great battery life,performance etc... Every Rom has bugs even stock isn't perfect... The few bugs that are mentioned are fixable and can and will be fixed....thanks for your comment and for your root problem turn it on in dev settings has been mentioned before also
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ishaqz:
Thanks...so recommended above the stock...right?

Where is the developers options?...in settings?

Just click on what you showed and will have root...then go into bootloader... volume up and power right?

Install rom... gapps....sweeteners... and then camera fix ....

And wait for the bluetooth fix...

As said...newbie to Sony so the questions... just the above need help and on my way.... to the candy experience...

Thanks

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Found the developer options... but where is the shown root options please
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Root option is in dev tools/developer options

Once enabled root will be good to go
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
This ROM has Multiwindow, right? Can't seem to find it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
My Chrome browser has suddenly started running in windowed (floating) mode. I can't find any way to change this back, does anyone have an idea?

Tapa-ed from the Sony Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ljhsquall:
The battery and percentage does not change color automatically with the rest of the icons on the status bar.

Is there a way to set it rather than static color? The status bar change color to match is cool but sometime it match to white color then I am unable to see the battery and percentage because they are white color. If i change them to black color then same issue when statusbar turn black

Also is the Navigation bar only in black and white? Is it possible to have colors?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Is this happening to you when opening links from other Apps (Google Search, Tapatalk, etc.) but not when directly opening Chrome from a Launcher? If so, it appears to be a 'feature' of the latest update of Google Chrome, and is nothing to do with the ROM. Going into Settings > Apps and disabling updates is apparently the only option.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
This is happening when i launch from launcher. When i run Recents and choose Chrome, it will be shown in full mode. Only floating when i first open it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
What Launcher are you using?

Edited to Add: Google Now launches Chrome in windowed mode, whereas Apex launches Chrome in Full. Downgrading then unlinking from the Market appears to be the only option ATM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
Nova prime. I've also tried The uninstall/reinstall app route, but The issue persists. Funny that it only started yesterday
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
That's when your phone installed the update. ;)

Downgrade or use a different browser are the only choices available to us. and for those complaining about it in the reviews on the Play Store. As the Beta version carries the same quirk also.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
Thank you For The assistance!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
After updating Apex, Chrome launches in floating mode now. ?.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
as my posts above, it was a Chrome update that broke itself, not anything else

to get fullscreen chrome back, just go back to home, use the recents and reopen Chrome from there, it will open back in normal mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KINGMANI:
Hey first off rly like the rom on my new xzu ;)

But is there a way to get the classic asop Recent with a kill all button? I don rly like the Recent Style here in the Rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aungkhaingoo:
Device not booting up after flashing rom. Don't know why. Here is my process..

Wipe stock rom

Flash candyrom

Flash gapp then reboot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Has this rom dual panel option? Asking coz im looking for rom with dual panel and slim recents to use
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnx_r:
Try flashing the latest ftf via flashtool from here before flashing your custom rom. It solves a lot of issues.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/ftf-depository-sony-firmware-releases-t2829387

PS: Not recommended for a GPE version of this phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnx_r:
This gives much more screen estate, and has lighter animations. ie its smooth even when you have high workloads or when your CPU is throttling. And there is no need to leave the screen and focus on the task switcher all by itself.

But if you wish, you can just try third party alternatives from the play store until you find one to your liking. Or you can try the AOSB rom from here:

http://probam.net/android-kikat-download/

It has three types of recents, slim recents, the stock recents, and iOS 8 recents. I thought the iOS 8 version looked nicer than the stock one. I also saw one of the roms for the Xp ZU on XDA with the Lolipop recents. In any case, I recommend trying out some of the roms here after taking a backup of your data.

On the other hand you can try out a few Xposed modules to get what you're looking for. I think XuiMod has an option to switch between the original task switcher and the slim recents. There maybe a few others which give such options, so its best to check them out one by one. Also, though you may already know this, please don't forget to take a backup before you get on with these mods, as I have had to restore my phone in more occasions than I can count because of incompatible Xposed mods.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnx_r:
I think you can get the dual panel thing using Xposed mods. But my real life experience with it was different. Its still not as smooth and easy/beneficial to use as I thought it would be.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
I choose different rom which has dualpanel and slimrecents. But thanks for advice, didnt know that xposed can force tabletui

Sent using tf300t - PAC-man/GRIMLOCK (Linaro)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnx_r:
Xposed can do everything except for CM11 themes. I think there may be alternatives for specific theme able parts, but I haven't come across a complete theme engine yet. And mate. CM11 themes look great.

Also another thing to note is that not all Xposed mods work in all roms, so try out your favorite mods, and depending on that you may have to change the choice of your rom.

For eg, One of the roms I liked had multi window, but it was really buggy. On the other hand, the exposed module for the same mod was an updated one. So it was supposed to improve things, but it didn't.

When I tried it in another rom, it worked much better. I would recommend CandyRom right now, and if you don't use themes, then you could go for Slim roms, they are pretty much excellent.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
I think i will,stay qith aicp as it works great, has everything i need and i dont have time to move between roms now.

And im using xposed and it seems to have more features than its needed :)

FWIW, my Bluetooth issue (only 2 out of three devices, will connect, the third needing re-pairing and then it knocks one of the others out) with my car is with a 2013 model year vehicle with a Sony factory stereo.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
/methinks you should read more...

Are you bootloader unlocked?

Step 1

your best bet is to start fresh and flash the full .108 FTF with flashtool in flash mode

FTF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2798690

Flashtool guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428319

Step 2a

if BL is locked the read about TA backups and unlocking BL then:

Root (easyroot v8 etc)

Backup TA

Unlock BL (this will wipe user data and apps)

then do step 2b

Step 2b

If your BL is unlocked follow from ****here**** after doing the above

once you have a booting system again you will want to:

copy the ROM to sdcard

flash the boot.img that is in the ROM zip using flashtool in fastboot mode this time

then boot into recovery and only wipe /data and caches

then flash ROM and GAPPS
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tdamocles:
I can't seem to get any of the aroma candy sweeteners to flash in cwm. Both versions just freeze.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
The ROM uses Twrp recommended but I have flashed myself using cwm in the past
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Try unlocking your boot loader correctly before flashing this ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tdamocles:
How do I get twrp loaded? I just have cwm installed with pimp kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jenkins-84:
Reflash the ROM has it comes with twrp or take the boot.IMG out of zip and fastboot it via PC
