Well, let me explain.

My install instructions are for a fresh install, that means wrote for people who have no custom rom and a stock rom or people with already a recovery.

Since 4.4.4 can't be rooted directly that why my instructions are asking to flash a 4.4.2 rom.

In conclusion do and flash what you want as soon as you are wiping all user data before to flash ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
What about apn? No data if no apn settings...

Bro thanks for the awesome rom

I have d6502 and like other d6502 user after flashing network doesn't work.i checked into baseband status,and it is showing unknown. So i flash a d6502 modem.but after that wifi does not work anymore.the wifi option remains invisible. But i can tell you before flashing the modem it was working perfectly. Plz do something
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kennyjackson19:
I had the same thing, I din get my signal, and after modem flashed, I lost WiFi too.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
I am sure our genius will resolve that soon
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] El.Guaje:
There's a problem with D6502 modem. Could you have a look at this?

I have no network coverage even I have chosen D6502 in AROMA. I find D6502 modem zip file and flash it. My network works fine but I can not turn Wifi on then.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kris555777:
i have D6503 and i have only one bug -dsp manager not changes audio efect (equalizer, bass boost etc.)

everything else works perfectly,and system is very fast. i did only dirty flash, not full wipe in recovery.

big thanks for Niaboc 79 and his hard work.

This rom is the sh!t man!

Installed fine, follow the directions people.

Something ive noticed is that settings force closes if i try to open notification history under existenz tab, and theres no close all button in the recent apps section.

Also the notifications tab at the top has the s under notification, but this may be due to my font i installed.

(The notifications tab fixed itself after a reboot, cancel that)

Apart from that, thanks so much, your work is greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kennyjackson19:
Yes did that.. Dint work after that too..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Duzzy5:
Sice this rom is based on .167 so i am asking, do i need to reflash dual recovery after flashing the rom, or its included in rom already?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ianrobbie:
Just FYI for the people who are asking.

Just installed this straight from a pre-rooted carrier based stock ROM (4.4.4).

Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Data works fine, WiFi works fine and the whole UI is as snappy as ever.

Outstanding work, Niaboc!

Have you tried rebooting a few times? It didn't work for me last night (bear in mind I dirty flashed so it was probably that) but after messing about with some settings today and doing a few reboots it has started to work.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] On my last reboot my phone said it was updating NFC software (or something along those lines). Is this normal as I have never seen anything like that in my 2 1/2 years of owning an android (and the 2 1/2 months of owning the Z2)?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iArvee:
Works great now! Started to work after a few restarts (flashed Abricot kernel, was testing CPU govs). Same thing happened to me the whole "NFC SOFTWARE UPDATE" thing.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] KuroTheBang:
Is it just me, or does 4.0.0 only have AOSP lockscreen?

Edit: Just put the "XperiaLockScreen" from 3.0.0 in your system/app direction and it should work

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
Coming from cm12. Fresh installation. All good. Great work like always niaboc.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
Thanks bro.it worked.i guess the build.prop creating problems. Are the z3 and z2 themes same?

It is bit of topic you used dnc headset can you explain how much it cancells noise.when i used the headset and if someone talks in front of me i can hear voices but it like faded..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PiskopatYazar:
Did clean install but my volume is not as loud as it was on 3.1.5 this is really annoying me since I bought this phone. I was so happy when you came here with a solution on 3.1.5. Is there any way to make the sound louder?

Also could make notification peek work at all tried everything doesn't work for me. I'm on unlocked bootloader 6503
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] GoldPunch:
Thanks. Everything is okey but Android HOVER is not working.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Thanks for report ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
Regarding notification hover,it only shows ongoing notification but if some one call me it did not shows or not giving option to accept or decline call in hover like cm11 or pa rom.it goes to default ui.does your hover support this??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] gamer649:
Have you tried rebooting a few times? It didn't work for me (dirty flashed however) until I rebooted a few times.

There is a switch in the status bar to enable/disable it. You can also enable it from the settings. Settings > eXistenZ > Xperia Advanced > Notifications Hover.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Note to all 6502 users

6502 Users MUST select 6503 in Aroma temporarily and flash this patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57490471

Yes I did rebooted few times but still the same.

Have you changed the volume settings on version 4.0.0 [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] ? Is there any patch or something we can flash and get the volume back?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] gamer649:
Make sure it is enabled under settings too. Settings > eXistenZ > Xperia Advanced > Notification Peek.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PiskopatYazar:
it is enabled and not working. I dont care about the notification peek to be honest as long as I get louder notifications its good for me. It was perfect even louder than what I wanted on 3.1.5 now it went back to the first days of the phone. Really hated my z2 cos of the volume issue.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] GoldPunch:
I solved this problem. This feature is only working on AOSP style quick settings. So, I restart aroma installer and I selected to ''AOSP without color'' Not ''existenz quick settings''
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cimbomege:
[MENTION=5872233]GoldPunch[/MENTION] I have "ExistenZ Quick Settings" and Hover & Notification Peek is working.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
All volume are stock exept if you choose stereo notifications in Aroma.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PiskopatYazar:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Is there any way of activating that MOD by not going through aroma, again?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cimbomege:

My feed after few hours of use. Features are all great, but phone is damn slow, it stucks or freeze sometimes, and it reboot automatically. Play Store doesn't works properly. Tried to wipe everything again an flash, but nothing changed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cimbomege:
If you have lot's of media in your SD card in a few hours after you installed your phone can be slow because Android system is scanning your media. Also try to disable Photo Analyzer Service and animations in developer settings. If nothing changes flash stock 4.4.4 from here and try again to flash ROM.

Everything, i mean everything is working. Noise Cancelling, xreality, etc. I just didnt really like the notification Peek/Hover icon found beside the edit in Notification panel. Is there any way to remove it? Its just its quite annoying especially whenever i start texting, a keyboard notification pops out. Or whenever downloading starts, its pops out, the pops out again when finished, and pops out again when installing, then pops out again when Clean Master scanned it as a background process. Well, yea i turned it off. Just saying.. and warning to other people :) Eitherway good job, best 4.4.4 rom! Will see battery performance.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iArvee:
I'm pretty sure that the volume would be a little quieter because it'd take more power for the sound to go through both speakers. I used the default one on eXistenZ 3.1.5 and used the stereo notifications for this version (4.0.0). There's a slight difference, but I'd get used it anyway.

I think there's an issue with boot. I noticed that control performance is really slow to be load, so this create a lot of problem (slow phone, play store problem, android wear doesn't load, light flow doesn't load). Once performance control gains permission, then everything is ok.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Sony capped it down from 60fps to 30fps in 4.4.4

Turn off Dsee hx, and Viper will work. But IMHO, better have that turned on and sound tuned in built in dsp manager.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fakelouis_:
So there are no workaround for it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
You can try using the old camera.apk from v3.1.5, but I would recommend keeping the new one.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fakelouis_:
Hmm.. what can go wrong if i use the old camera.apk?

i think x reality is working if we flash .69 firmware first.. something missing with the newer FW

so, maybe you can flash .69 FW, lock the BL and update via sony PC companion, then install this ROM

i know its bothersome but worth trying
