The Xposed module XHover sort of helps with this. Persistent notifications can be hidden with it. I also use Hide Xposed IME to stop the notification about the keyboards.

Is there a solution for noisy low light photos on unlocked bootloader? It's certainly worse than on 4.4.2. I've heard sony changed something witch their image processing and noise reduction in photos is not working correctly on UB. Next problem I have is not working super vivid nor x-reality (at least I can't gasp a difference, it should be visible at glance right?)

Sorry if this was answered but I've searched and couldn't find it.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mr_omega:
Use manual mode, and set ISO to 50 (or 100). Noise is the result of auto high ISO setting.

50 ISO limit photo in the attachment.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Ruku1994:
Thank you for your answer but it does not solve the problem. Setting lower ISO means darker photos under low light, it is not optimal choice. I've read that after update to 4.4.4 sony made some changes to their noise reduction algorithm and now it does not work with unlocked bootloader (and it really doesn't, its not my imagination). On previous versions of sony firmware I got pictures without noise even on highest ISO. I just wanted to know if someone hacked it to work like before on 4.4.4.

If not then I guess that is a drawback of unlocking.

But still it wouldn't be possible for me not to unlock my phone ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mr_omega:
Of course, it's the basis for photography. Something for something. You can't have clear images in low light.

I have no comparison with the previous photos, but even my SLR camera with high ISO take pictures with considerable noise.

But this is not a topic for this forum.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Ruku1994:
Yes you are right. I know this little about photography. The thing is I do not mean it that way. What I mean is that software side of camera image processing after unlocking the bootloader has worsened and I believe this is subject for this forum. Noise filtering algorithm (which lowers the detail but also prevents noise) is not working on 4.4.4 after UB. Even sony stated that. I just wish someone would make it work like on 4.4.2. ;)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] doraemon6688:
Sony made changes to the viewfinder, I believe it's downgraded to 15fps from the original 60fps on 4.4.2

This was done to prevent overheating during camera use. Complain to Sony to at least give users the option to set this. ROM cookers can't change this because it's in the drivers I think.

There is boot animation and then there is this PREboot animation, the FIRST screen, boot loader I guess, in 4.4.2 it said just Sony, in 4.4.4 it said Sony and bottom it said XPERIA, and THEN the boot animation comes, the purple wave or whatever.... so I'm talking about the very first screen, before it says "powered by android"

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] is there any chance you could add option to control refresh rate in camera app?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Harrymac:
Hi niaboc.

Can I just say, you sir are a master. I have been following your work since version3.15 which is when my Z2 arrived and was really impressed with the quality of your work but as many of us do we try other ROMs but always found myself coming back here.

I noticed when 4.4.4 was released there were quite a few developers rushing to get a ROM on the board and immediately ran into issues sorting problems out that people had discovered which resulted in lots of time being wasted and ending up with a really messy thread.

You on the other hand have taken your time, even though being under pressure with regards to members asking about ETA's on version 4. Your patience has resulted in you producing something special. Straight out of the box everything just works well that I use and need.

I have read the CM and AOSP threads and can't understand why members would install these ROMs with the camera issues that those ROMs have as one of the main features that the Z2 is used for is the camera quality, I guess it's down to taste.

Anyway I would just like to say thanks for your fine work.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
This is great ROM, truly a king...

You are constantly talking with community and listening our suggestions and requests.

Keep going that way, please...

Because of you and (just) a couple of other devs (we are extremely poor with a development and developers on new Xperia devices), Z2 lives like it's released yesterday...

Tnx for that...

We will show our gratitude when Sony release Z4 or another interesting device.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks like that...

BTW...

No chance to build switch/slider or something similar that could work "on the fly"? Without restarting? (not now, of course...I mean in the future, if Sony leave this value low)

I saw in Xperia Xposed many hooks that doesn't need restart to change values, even systemUI elements, like notifications bar background...

It would be great to have something like brightness slider for camera frames refreshing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine and happy because you'll add Aroma option, just thought master of Xposed ( [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] ) could add this option in his module...

- If it's not possible....well....forget I said anything - [emoji14]

Very nice rom. Thanks for your hard work!!

It would be great to have a whitelist option for hover notifications.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] takagen:
Why we needed this is because some of us have unlocked our bootloader before a root exploit was found, hence losing DRM with no TA backup.

So sharing my success restoration steps here (basically following what the DRM restoration thread stated).

1. Using Flashtool, relock your bootloader.

2. Flash full 17.1.A.2.69 FTF (it must be this FTF version, and no others) with the default settings via Flashtool where the APPS LOG, CACHE, DATA are checked. Once done, reboot the phone into the system once, and turn it off.

3. Unlock your bootloader with Flashtool.

4. Flash DooMKernel (choose the old version that's 17.1.A.2.69 compatible) via fastboot in Flashtool (extract the boot.img file and flash that).

5. With the advanced kernel flash, you have CWM, which you can now reboot into, flash eXistenZ 4.0, followed by the DRM patch file.

6. Done.

How well will a stock modified 4.4.4 systemui work with your rom, you think? What I mean is; is there any changes in your systemui that - if not present when using another systemui - will cause issues elsewhere in the ROM?

First of all thank you for your fawles rom! After upgrade to 4.00 everithing worcks fine for now exept 2 little things.

1 i have noticed that the proxymether sensor light blinks red after the phone is locked but only when i move it.

And the secon thing is that the quick settings toggles are squashed and i don't know how to set 5 toggles to fix that.

Is it possible to mod the notification bar and quick settings like the one on lollipop(spotlight quick settings) or to have the settings and notifications in one row? Sorry for bad english!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:
My eyes light up as you keep adding amazing features. Keep up the hard work and love the paranoid features additions

2) Due to an Xposed module.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:

I strongly agree with what he says. Thanks so much for such a great rom and being such a active diverse developer. I would be more than happy to support a community pot to get niaboc79 a xperia z4. I'd even claim on my phone insurance when I get a z4 and sell it to him at insurance excess cost price :p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
That's the spirit ;)

We are joking and that's cool but I really believe we are very happy to have guys like Niaboc and Serajr in our team...(among the others).

We should, at least, say tnx for all the things they are working for us...

I saw [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] sneaking around...he isn't responding on our "provocations", maybe he surprise us with a new feature in next updates of his fantastic Xposed module...

Even more Paranoid features? Hmm...you are really know what are you doing...

Absolutely agree with every letter you wrote.

I already said to Niaboc (I'm not sure did we talk but...)

Sorry because I'm using your thread for this.

I'll hide content but, please guys, read this if you have time...

I'll open one bounty thread to collect some funds and to support, for now, you two.

I know there's other great devs but it's not realistic to expect something bigger in Xperia section (don't want to be rude bit that's the fact, our habit is to ask and demand, not to support - and that's not good).

I thought to open thread when Z4 is announced but I think we should have that earlier, you are totally right, we need development support, not only root bounty(s).

I need help from you [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] - my paypal can't accept and it would be silly to pay taxes and sending money few times.

Could we use your paypal account for this?

I really hope and believe we will know how to keep our developers in our team.

We have to realize we need them, it's not the opposite...they could live without us.

I know what Serajr is talking, I built few themes and few MODs and I didn't see my son and wife for a days, I can imagine what's like to build complicated ROM or Xposed module with millions options...

I can't force anyone to support our bounty, that's something you have to feel it's right.

I can only say - I'll support you both as much as I can.

Thanks for staying with us, thanks for tolerating all rude and harsh words... thanks for everything...
