I have the same device you do and mine is deep sleeping fine. Just flashed the ROM, no CPU tweaking nothing.

See attached, it could be an app or a service running in the background.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jiggyb21:
Yeah he said he changed that on purpose and also said it will be an option in the next update to go back to stock.

Have you done a fresh install ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] harrynghiem:
Op confirmed that will include in aroma in the next version :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] florwing:
Yes 3 wipe,
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
Any idea how to do this myself?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kennyjackson19:
Do we have any mod to bring 4 or 5 button navigation.. Without disturbing the system ui of niaboc!?!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Hi,

From what I can understand in the OP, I have to flash the FULL stock ROM before I flash THIS ROM? One ROM on top of another? Is the purpose of the STOCK rom with Flashtool for the kernel?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
You don't have to flash stock 314 but that's recommended.

I tried jumping from one stock based to another and I haven't got any problems.

Try and you'll see...

If you stuck in bootloop, flash stock 314 install recovery and flash eXistenZ again.

My experience is - make sure you wiped data from previous ROM (go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik before you flash eXistenZ) and it should be fine.

I tried to restore data from my few previous backups and I had problems...

So that could be problem few guys had...

If you are on LB, stock or stock based 314 you can only have 314 kernel, nothing else so that can't be problem.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I have stock 314 on my phone atm. Does THIS ROM wipe system as well? I ALWAYS wipe, syste, data and cache before installing ANY ROM. Would wiping system remove my root or is root added back by this ROM?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dd66:
from .314 stock I did make a dirty flash: just clicked on "Install" in TWRP, nothing else, it took a bit of long time to install/boot but I'm running it with no issue at all since 3 days now :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
Hey,can anybody check please that if the link is working or not.i tried but says "webpage is not available"

And one thing i wanna ask that is this rom enable stereo speakers for incoming call or do i have to flash the soundmod by olokos??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Yes...script will format system but you have to format data and both cache manually (just like it's mentioned in OP)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
That said, I still cannot see the point of flashing the COMPLETE stock rom with Flashtool. Can't I JUST flash KERNEL with Flashtool?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Do what you want ;)

Then once your phone will bricked, follow install instructions :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Then wait and have patience, the update is yet out so give [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] some TIME !!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Don't expect it before a few weeks, many things to do ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ArmedHitman:
I have your ROM installed, Can I update straight to 4.4.4??

Sorry... I'm super new to this lol
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
I'll be waiting, for now 3.1.5 it's ok for me with xreality on bootloader unlocked, good battery, options for the new 4.4.4.. So I can wait
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
[MENTION=6035247]ArmedHitman[/MENTION]

If you update with pc companion to 4.4.4 ?

You will lost root and the features in this rom but if you have questions to to here !!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
Can anyone help me guys..i just flashed 4.4.4 but lost root.so i flash. 314 kernel to root.but phone get stuck onto bootloop.so had to reflash. 167 kernel.is there any other way to root??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] amon87:
First of all, why have you flashed kernel not matched to the fw... What exactly you expected to happen?

Check DoomLord's thread for fix - he should have posted advanced stock kernel for 4.4.4 by now.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Just flash the .314 firmware. Since 4.4.4 firmware is new , I don't think it will have a method to root yet.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
What are we actually missing in 3.1.5 that is in the new update?

Pause function in videocamera is the only thing I'm missing...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Nearly all was already in eXistenZ :cool:

DSEE and Video pausing were the only missing things.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
I found in a forum that i need to flash. 314 kernel then root and flash the. 167 kernel after that.so i did.but got stuck at bootloop.then immediately i flash. 167 kernel and phone in working fine

Revert fullscreen caller images

Howdy,

I want to go back to squared ("stock") caller-pictures too, but if I launch the 3.1.5-aroma-installer there is no option for (de-)choosing fullscreen-caller-images.

When I installed the 3.0.0 and right after that the 3.1.5-update.

Thanks for your help,

Alex

PS: Awesome ROM btw, I had much fun in the last days :D :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Extract it from the rom and push it manually with right permissions and reboot ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] harshad_kp:
Hey niaboc79. I am currently using your latest 3.1.5 rom. I just received notification from Update centre that I have System update. The update is the OTA update to the latest 4.4.4 firmware. If i download and try to update it then what will be the final result of it.

Please suggest.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
+1, I got the notification as well. it may download but don't think it will update. correct me if i'm wrong,
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jackie_e:
Sounds easier that it is for me... :(

Which APK must I extract? Push via Recovery? So much questions, so little knowledge (me)...

Cheerio,

Alex
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jhon998:
Will current root and dual recovery work on this?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:
ExistenZ rom by Niaboc79 is based on the firmware before the new 4.4.4. If you update you will lose this rom basically and be on factory stock official. if you want to keep this rom then just ignore the update until niaboc79 makes this rom for 4.4.4.

no it will not work
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jhon998:
[MENTION=3075158]jakir7[/MENTION] So how long it could take to root 4.4.4 based on previous firmware, is there a huge difference?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
SemcPhone.apk and no push with root explorer my friend.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Flash v3.0.0 then v3.1.5 without wiping data, it can't be more easy.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:
No one knows until its attempted and achieved. Think of it like this: the .314 firmware we are using existenz on had security holes which allowed developers to root etc. In every firmware update sony blocks and fills those holes. Thus someone either needs to find a new flaw to exploit then be able to root and so on.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mondeo-rs:
Won't move to 4.4.4 after the master is ready, think this rom is very good.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Funky303:
Same for me, just came back after 4.4.4 has some FCs on my device, although i wiped everything. Clock isn't working/FC when I open the app. So i can't change my alarm clock :)

Here we are, back again.

I'm waiting until Android 5 is released/ until niaboc makes a 5.0 eXistenZ
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ghostofcain:
And whilst it is possible to downgrade and flash a pre-rooted zip I would imagine the drive to discover a new (unnecessary) flaw will be minimal.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wickedmx:
Thanks for the great ROM. I installed this a couple of days ago, and not only is it lightning fast and stable, the battery life is fantastic.

:cyclops:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
Don't forget the option "X-reality and Supervivid on BootLoader Unlocked" in new version please :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hendry:
why the options super vivid or x-reality cannot be saved ? after restarting, the options become off..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hotnikkelz:
Take off stamina mode.

How do we change accent colour from the default blue? Can't find the option [emoji28]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] carlsbad28:
This rom is better than the 4.4.4 update. Lol.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hotnikkelz:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] how do I change the accent colour from blue? How do i stop Sony from check for system updates and giving this persistent notification. Finally which Sony apps are safe to remove. I still have this Sony select crap among others. I unchecked them in aroma but when I updated to 3.1.5 it came back
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:
To change the accent colour you xposed framework and the module xperia xposed. Their is a option in that app that lets you change it to whatever you want. Go onto the app info of the update app then untick show notifications.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jhon998:
I don't like the 4K capping in this rom, in the stock, it would record up to 13 minutes, but in this one it stops at 9:51-53, why is that? And my phone is not heating up!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
This is identical to stock...

Time before stopping isn't related to the rom!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hotnikkelz:
Is there an easy way to change the size of the nav bar without going through Aroma? I changed to 320 dpi but the bar got too small, because I think i chose the smallest one in aroma
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Use Xperia Xposed v3.2.1 by brother [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]

And change it in the menu SystemUI in Xperia Xposed but you need to have Xposed Framework installed also, please figure out by your own also 1st :good:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptlsajan:
ok so i just got my z2 yesterday and i flashed this rom.

this is very fast and fluid rom.

my problem with this rom are:

i cannot login with facebook in walkman or album app...every time i have to login but it just don't work...so its facebook plugin problem i guess.

the main problem is after i remove earphones from the phone....any kind of audio output is not working...i have to reboot to make it work.

sometimes the dsp manager forces closes.

any suggestion to remove all those problem and enjoy it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hendry:
yes.. i put stamina mode on, but display vivid colour setting cannot saved every reboot..

why it depends on stamina mode ? is there any ways to make vivid colours always on in stamina mode ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hotnikkelz:
I dunno. Guess that's just how it is. Take it off and see, experiment with it a lil
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Nightf0x_007:
Is there anyway to shift the statusbar clock fom right side to the centre ?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] carlsbad28:
Is there a way to increase in-call volume? It just sounds a tad soft.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Th3odora:
Not really that excited with 4.4.4. This ROM already have all the features in 4.4 4. I wonder what else will [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] add in the next update.. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hotnikkelz:
Try taking off noise suppression, and clearaudio+, and put on Xloud. Gotta play with the audio settings a little
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Working noise canceling :D

And many more new things but it will take time ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Nightf0x_007:
Can u please add ability to shift statusbar clock to the centre + change software keys to look like z3
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mambablack:
Please include the speakers optimization of 3.1.5 is perfect ? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
No, already there, already there.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sensei_sai:
I don't get it... Noise cancelling is working in eXistenZ 3.1.5...

May be it is not working with 4.4.4? is that it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
Hi, I found another one.. In app power consumption with this version don't work but in 4.4.4 works fine

Waiting v4 :D

Check available storage in SD and internal cards, maybe its full at that point
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jhon998:
No im sure there is 10gb available in the sd, and i tried it in the stock, for like 4 recordings, it does not stop at the 3.8gb but continue to record to 12mins sometimes 13mins. And in this existenz rom, i think there is some mod applied to it like cybershot mod that is not stock.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptlsajan:
anyone????
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sensei_sai:
Make a clean install...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] GoldPunch:
Thank you! This is better than 4.4.4 really.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hussainally:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] HFidalgo:
Different sound levels

I'm on eXistenZ ever since I've rooted my Z2 and - I gotta say - excelent work by niaboc79. Thanks a lot for your hard work!

There's only one small detail, that I don't know if it's ROM related and/or if it can be fixed by an upcoming version: the sound produced by any event is lower than it should be.

Trying to explain: if I force a sound to be played (for instance a call ringtone) via any media player (Google Play Music or Sony Walkman or even ES File Explorer built in media player), it comes louder than if that same sound is triggered by a receiving call. The same happens with UI touch sounds, notifications, and so on...

When I installed V3.0 and V3.1.5 I've noticed a huge improvement on sound effects - no doubt about it - but, even though I've tried everything I could remember with sound settings, I wasn't able to undermine this sound level difference. I've already used the three speaker modes available (stock/stereo/viper) in Aroma, with the same results.

Is there a way to solve it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptlsajan:
i did the clean install 3 times.........everytime i get same problem.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strongylad28:
I discovered while on holiday that the "sound photo" feature doesn't seem to work. The photo is taken fine, it seems to be recording sound with the picture, but when I view it in album, it's just a pic, no sound with it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Since 167 didn't fix my wifi issues, I think I'll be downgrading to 314 to root and flash this Rom. The main thing I was looking forward to in 4.4.4 was the wifi bugs being fixed, but Sony dropped the ball again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Works fine also in eXistenZ...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
A file is missing in the rom.

An ota update is ready who is fixing that and other things like email and adding new things like Z3 InCall UI.

To all users,

Do you want that update before v4.0.0?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Monipeev:
Why not, as long as you do not take too many resources Niaboc79. If so, it might be better to wait then.

Just my opinion.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MattJaO3D:
No point imho, 4.4.4. Is here for a while, so best to keep focus on that I reckon
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:

The ota will fix x-reality in videos? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SwiftSmoke:
I would say leave it and concentrate on 4.0. Why put pressure on yourself to do minor tweaks to a 4.4.2 based rom when the 4.4.4 based rom will be out soon with missing files included and probably the other minor tweaks fixed anyway. I'm patiently waiting for 4.0.0 as when I found out about your rom I knew 4.4.4 was only round the corner so havent installed yet.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] LordNIcon:
Hi [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] i want to thank you for your development of your rom. Ill donate asap for your effort -i love your rom keep up your great Job

I am happy to wait for v4. I can't update when on holiday anyway, and not something I'm desperate to use when at home. Don't worry yourself over my case lol

Always better to do a clean install when I am increasing the first number of my rom build.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
But is there really any need? I mean, isn't android designed to just work with updating?

I havent wiped my z2 since I got it in August where I installed the first version of your rom on it.

My Z, where I used your rom, I didnt really ever wipe it. Sometimes there's a few issues but nothing I cant work my way around.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] freekzak:
lol :P

Please wait while this ROM blows up your device :P !!! ?

hahaha

Just right now installing this... will come back after to say my impressions ;)

notes:

You can't install if you don't first install (flash) stock firmware , I tried this like I do with ROMS based on CM project , but AROMA installer couldn't start.

1) flash .314 firmware with flash tool

2) boot up for first time - shutdown - connect with PC & fastboot flash boot recovery.img (via cmd of course)

3) boot up to recovery - installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip

4) boot up - shutdown - boot up to recovery - installed Xperia_Z2_eXistenZ_Ultimate_3.0.0

5) boot up - everything is okay ( without exploring much / actually nothing LOL )

6) shut down - entered recovery by pressing the up button got me into touch recovery (I had simple CWM not touch version) - installed Xperia_Z2_eXistenZ_Ultimate_3.1.5_Update

7) boot up - all is okay till now and will start the exploration ;)

My device is a D6503 with unlocked boot loader
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] KuroTheBang:
It would be enough just to flash the Kernel.elf, since the system partition is covered by this rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] freekzak:
maybe normally but ...

tried that also , aroma installer for some reason couldn't start

prost!
