Now I recognise the issue when you are installing doom kernel v10 with faux sound app you will lose the expand button for sound dialog. After reinstalling via aroma installer with the stock kernel the expand button is there. Anybody else with that issue?

Niaboc79, when are u planning to finish new version? Do u planning to wait for next version of Z2 firmware or u want to release an update to Existed 2.0 Fw? I'm not hurrying, just curious.

just wondering but with this rom and kernel does the overheating occur for the camera? thanks. i dont plan on shooting in 4k, just 1080p and pics.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jiggyb21:
In all my years rooting and installing Roms, this is by far my most anticipated Rom. I have never stayed on one rom so long. I have a feeling the donations will be plenty after 3.0 hits..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Aborto:
Thanks for your work niaboc. This is a fantastic rom, perfectly stable for me so far, even the rooted stock rom wasn't this stable.

After years of bloated samsung roms and flakey PA roms this is the first one I have absolutely no complaints with.

I have sent you some beer money for your work, 9Y603538XN459290K.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:
So, the last version is 1.0.5 or 2.0.0? Sorry
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] waynekirby:
2.0.0 :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahfarouk:
Hi

Thanks for the great room, very stable for me.

Anyone know the best compatible mod for viewing network transfer speed in status bar like upload, and download?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Xernoxis:
Gravitybox does this very well :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahfarouk:
Thanks a lot for your great help. I have installed gravitybox and it worked like a charm.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
He was asking whether Niaboc was going to wait for the next official Sony firmware or continue working with .314. It is a fair question considering how much work Niaboc has done on .314 already. I mean both v1 and v2 of ExistenZ have been based on .314 it would make plenty of sense to wait for the next OFW.

That being said, I'm just hoping the almighty Niaboc does some fantastic work with converting the Z2 to the Z3 ROM.

*bows down*
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
Can I get some help please?

I've reflashed this rom, did clean install and after that I cannot set my account in email app,

it keeps reporting connection error when i try to sign up with hotmail adress, with [MENTION=309386]Yahoo[/MENTION] it has no problems

By the way, the rom is great!

ps. it used to work on stock
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
I know you said you did a clean install, but try a full cache wipe and restart.

Also make sure you're using a wifi connection (just in case your mobile data is poor connection or whatever)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:
Has anyone experienced problems (Fc and non responsive) location services on this rom since Google automatically updated the Google play services app?

Think the new version isn't fully compatible with the black theme or something so is causing errors.

Otherwise as always, the best rom available for the Xperia Z2!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] leviatus:
If you have the disable location consent mod installed, remove it. Google has implemented a check box(to disable) along with the location dialog so it is redundant.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MysticEnforcer:
i don't know why,

but for me the updatecenter app not longer works :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jakir7:
Thank you, I appreciate your help

throw option

hi i use throw option to stream music from my phone to the computer and i cant find it on 2.0 ive been running our rom since release and romaur has throw and the setting but your rom doesnt can you help me get it back please anyone
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Yeah...that stupid answer like "when he's ready" is really unnecessary.

He'll release new ROM or MOD based on 314 (that's what I know).

There's no new fw announced for Z2 so I'm pretty sure we'll have ROM based on 314 - latest global fw for Z2.

Niaboc already said and prove that he successfully ported many new features and apps from Z3 so that's something you can count on ;)

ETA for ROM is something we shouldn't ask dev but to ask for a progress or some information about the rom is, if you ask me, totally fine.

I really hope Sony won't release new fw in a next week or two or we'll have to wait even more for all those great things Niaboc already did for 314.

Niaboc said - few weeks so I hope we'll see his awesome ROM next week...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Well said, we pretty much share the exact same opinion.

At the moment I'm still cranking the stock ROM due to bluetooth issues I was facing but I have read some of the amazing ports Niaboc has brought to the table and am eagerly waiting the next release. Perfection can't be rushed :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alinghi100:
I had the same problem and I solved installing the z3 update center inside "themes and apps" section, enjoy ;)

not so bad

i'll wait until the next rom is released
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xianpu:
to those who installed this ROM, i just observed that the battery takes longer to charge with this ROM than my stock

with my stock .314 it takes 1.5 to 2 hours full charge, but with this ROM it takes 2 to 3 hours to full charge

is there something wrong with the ROM or its juts my Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Try to wipe cache and dalvik from recovery, fully charge device and then delete battery stats file using one of many apps from market.

I would recommend battery calibration app...

That'll reset battery statistic file and it should be all OK after that...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
I tried it all mate,

the strange thing is, yahoo account works just fine... but my main one, hotmail, doesn't...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Well it sounds like a hosts file issue, or an issue with your DNS or actual internet routing (doubtful)

Try flashing this hosts file

It will replace the adblocking one included with ExistenZ with the stock one.

If that doesn't work then I am out of ideas. Unless the problem persists on the same network via PC as well.. In which case make sure all of your DNS info is set to automatically obtain (on modem/router and network adapter)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
Thanks a lot mate, but nothing helped from your post....

I just remembered that I flashed xperia z3 v3 apps, maybe that's causing the problem?

It used to work everything on existenz before I did clean install.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Put files from this link https://app.box.com/s/xs7s3338o9nwjljh8f4n to system/etc/permissions.

You'll see few lib files (iz zip) put those lib files with correct permission and exchange2.apk in system/priv-app

Restart and wipe cache and dalvik from recovery and that should be OK now...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
Sorry, we can't access that page.

edit] I've managed to download after trying few times

what an idiot I am, was so busy with replacing the files, that I forgot to change permissions now I have this error devicemonitor has stopped (even tho I didn't touch that) and device goes into loop boot...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Why can't you access box?

I just checked and everything is working fine.

If you want, I can upload on DropBox.

Can't upload on dev-host at the moment (I'm outside and dev-host always makes problem when I try to upload files via phone)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Uff...

That's not good...

I now you already said but can't search right now, which ROM are you using?

If you have zip file of that ROM or deodex patch, flash that through recovery and you'll fix that...

- JUST DON'T WIPE DATA -

If you are on stock, you can flash only system - EXCLUDE ALL WIPES -.

Start flashtool and exclude everything except system.

Flash and restart.

You'll have to deodex it again and install your MODs and Z3 apps again but at least you data will be saved.

Always make backup before you are trying something on your device.

I'm creating backup every month.

That way I always have latest backup to restore if something goes wrong.

Edit : I saw...

You are using eXistenZ.

If you have zip on your device, start flashing again and flash system only.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
Ok did that, now I have fcs on exchange on boot, and when I check for files I copied everything is there with right permission, should I back up now and do clean install?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Could you try to go to settings/apps/and clean data and cache from Email and Exchange?

You could backup now but you'll have bad backup with FC.

You don't want that...

It's all messy right now because you have some Z3 apps and Z2 system, lib and framework files.

You have to flash Z3 mod now.

Try to flash Rajeev MOD(s) from recovery and then add those files ( even you have those files in etc/permissions folder those are old files/Z2 files/, you flashed new system, right? add exchange2.apk to priv-app and restart.

I had same problem with exchange, pop services were working fine but exchange always gave me connection error.

I just add exchange2.apk (with permissions, don't forget that :) ) and now it's working without any problems.

You can try that, before anything else.

But on clean system, after fresh install.

Now just try what I said and it should be OK...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Clear data of email and exchange in settings/apps/all
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
It's working now finally!

Man thanks for all your time, nerves, and to others too!

hvala!

EDIT] I've tried with deleting cache/dalvik but nothing worked, I flashed again Niaboc's Z3 mod, pushed apk and permissions you gave me with settings and its cool now

Niaboc, I tried that too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Caipirinhia:
Hello. I Want to try this rom from clean phone. Only allready working on .323

Do i have to downgrade to .314 before I start?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:
Yes, read the second post
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
No...

You don't have to downgrade.

Niaboc added boot.img to ROM (kernel) and everything will be fine without downgrading.

You need to have working recovery on your current ROM, that's all.

Just restart to recovery, wipe everything and flash ROM.

There are reported problems with Aroma (symlink error at the end of flashing, if you get that error, don't restart, just flash again but this time only hit next all the time, don't change anything in Aroma)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] esps:
+1:good:

Note: don`t wipe System... Aroma will do automatic
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xnknown:
can you please include the new audiomod SiriuXStudio by jimrnor in your next release as it is pure perfection :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shareonline:
+1 :) viper4android is also good, but I'm actually not overall impressed with the sound quality on this phone (headset wise). So if a new mod can change that I'm all for it ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] spuri78:
I don't think it will. I'm still using faux sound when listening to sound via headset. The new mod is brilliant when it comes to listening via speaker. It's not meant for headset. However, no harm in including it in aroma.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
No I am only adding working stuffs ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xnknown:
it works great right now look at all the positive comments in his thread
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
:D

Yeah, do you know placebo effect...

But seriously, I don't care, all audio mods available are useless and mainly with fake features.

The only 2 real professional sound mods are viper4android and ACID.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadshais:
I am also using the mod and it works great but u can just install it separately what's the advantage to add it in the rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
When i try to install the zip file from cwm nothing happens. It just crashes and stays on one screen aroma installer does not start
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadshais:
Check md5 of zip and if it does not match redownload file
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
Yes it is fine i have wiped data cache and dalvic etc

i am coming from cm11 with cwm recovery. It stops running after i install from zip. It just says aroma installer version 2 and the author xda dev i cannot remember the full script
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:
Maybe is your recovery, try with XDualRecovery just... Maybe
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
Can I install this via recovery I have no access to a pc laptop etc
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:
You mean XDualRecovery?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadshais:
Ya go to nut-xperia page and download cwm flashable type of recovery frm there
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
Well anything really that will help me install this rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadshais:
go here

http://nut.xperia-files.com/

and download this

Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable.zip (7.76MB)

and flash through recovery

reboot to recovery and install existenz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mazellat:
Can will we see your new rom which Z3's specs on this week bro, [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]? :angel:

Sony will not release a new update / firmware this days for Z2 :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
Do i reboot to cwm or the other recovery options?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadshais:
When u reboot press upper volume key repeatedly when led turns green and u will enter philz recovery from there flash the rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
so even pureXaudio is fake even if its known not just for sony device? not being rude but how come its placebo if there is really an increase in bass and loudness of the speaker?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
PureXaudio is also a working one but not all is working.

The only working things of nearly all these mods are the equalization like bass boost, etc and volume increase. Why? Because these are the only parts well implemented and that the system is able to read and use.

All the rest can't work!

Here's an example, put a new tv in a room but don't plugg the power cord. Even if it is a 4k screen you will only see a black screen. Something is missing so that can work.

This is the same here, they are adding a lot of things but nothing can use them, parts are missing ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
i get it. just like some z3 files/DSEE wont run until sources are out right? some lib files are not optimized for z2 that's why nobody can make it work, correct? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Exactly, adding libs who aren't used is useless.

Also some other libs are missing and the link between all with audio system too.

Same for Z3 dsee or Walkman X dsee...

I have fully ported all Z3 sound enhancement without DSEE so I know what I mean :cool:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
Ok wierd cwm works when led is purple. When it turns green i press up philz doesnt start goes into sony logo, if i press the screen it vibrates. Eventually phone reboots. Uhh i give up anyway thanks for all your help
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
Good to know! Thanks dude!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mazellat:
Can you look this mod? He make a sound mod which contains NWZ-X1, Z3 and M8's sound effects for Z2. We must try with our eXzistenZ..

SiriuXStudio Sound Mod
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] muhammadshais:
u have to press up repeatedly
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Read my previous posts...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
if you go back a few page back, he mentioned that he will not include it. And this mod can simplly be flashed to any ROMs so there's no need of including it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strongylad28:
I'm thinking of flashing this rom tomorrow when I have chance to get a fresh version of. 314 on my phone. Can anyone confirm any known bugs? Also a random request but can someone check "Shazam" works on this? I had a bad experience with stock .314 rom not working with Shazam. It was an issue with recording or something but it just didn't work and crashed my phone. If someone could test it for me I'd appreciate it. Could you also quote this in the reply so I get notified. That's the only thing stopping me flashing this
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Shazam is working perfectly.

I'm using it all the time and no problems at all.

One thing (even I said that few times already, maybe you missed it)

When you choose all things in Aroma you wanted, hit flash and watch.

IF you get symlink error at the end of the flashing, - DON'T RESTART DEVICE - simply flash ROM again but this time don't change anything in Aroma.

You'll save your self few hours ;)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strongylad28:
Appreciate the quick reply! Great to hear about shazam. Must have just been a little glitch last time. Roll on tomorrow for a backup session and wiping lol. I hate wiping my phone, always forget about something!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Well....

If you are on 314, you can backup system from recovery and after flashing and setting up ROM try to go to recovery and restore only data and see...

It's always best to start from zero but it could work...

You'll have all your data and accounts restored.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strongylad28:
Unfortunately I'm on .402 so no luck here :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Yeah...it's best to wipe everything then and start from scratch.

Even, you could use titanium backup, that's not bad at all...

Sony comfirms ; Hi-Res Audio and DSEE HX compatible with Z2 here the link: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/10...=rss&utm_campaign=xperia-details-hi-res-audio
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] gamer649:
Great work to the Dev, the ROM is brilliant and I haven't encountered any bugs as of yet.

I do have one question however, if I wish to change from Viper to stock audio do I have to do a fresh installation or not?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Well ....he did and he didn't...

Actually, what he said is that they created converter for Z3.

So, we now know that we need to port that converter to Z2, or any other device.

In theory, that should work on any device, you "just" need to port all apps, libs and files and find and port that converter as well...

Is that in one of the lib or in walkman, developers like [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] will probably know.

We will see, once we get sources I'm sure, if it's possible, our devs will find a way to port DSEE to older devices.

It would be nice from Sony if they add DSEE converter in a next Z2 fw but I really doubt that...

They just have to push Z3 sale and, as I said, I really doubt they will comprise new flagship selling by adding Z3 features on Z2...

We'll soon have a chance to see what will new update bring...

I'm sure this is the month of updates :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] El.Guaje:
"Xperia Z2 was compatible with Hi-Res Audio but you needed a converter to listen to it. So in Xperia Z3, we’ve built that converter into the phone."

But what is the "converter"?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lawliet918:
anybody here knows how to fix the missing playmemories online in album? tried to uninstall the update and hoped to reinstall it via the system update app but the system update says all my apps are up-to-date. o_O
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adyscorpius:
The convertet is not a software. Its a hardware built into high res headphones which allow the z2 to use that harware and make high res music. Its not built into z2 but it is built into z3.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
I didn't find those informations but OK.

Tnx for that...

funky0308@xda developers
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] theskeptic:
Am I missing something here? What exactly is hi res audio? To me that's simply high sample/high bitrate, i.e. 24bit/96khz 24bit/192khz. You're not going to get any higher resolution than that. So... What exactly is this hires voodoo magic?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kolipko:
I have to say this... And it is not a Q for an eta.... But it is painful to wait for the next release since it will be even more awesome than 2.0 and i remember seeing that the next release would be in a couple of weeks maybe 2 weeks ago? Correct me If i am wrong. And i also want to add that niabocs work is awesome
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaji007:
Why is my phone overheating constantly anyone else with this issue
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Custom kernel?

You have to describe problem precisely...

It can't heat constantly,on standby or when you just read news on some portal...

Which device you have 6503 or 6502, rom, kernel?

MODs?

BTW and sorry for OT

Z2 will soon receive update to 4.4.4.

It should be version 23.0.1.A.0.167

There's a new "tool" for testing apps you created for Xperia devices and there's info I just wrote.

funky0308@xda developers
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mazellat:
Bro are you sure? Because Z2's firmware must be "17..." so can't be "23..."

I think new firmware can be "17.4...."
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
That's information from official Sony web page.

If they wrote that wrong then I'm wrong as well...

But why do you think it must be 17?

They could change numbering because of many reasons...
