This rom is stock based, flashing this one you will still have stock experience, and will only gain more, so I'd say it's better to flash existenz instead of staying on stock rom
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alandd86:
Thnx but i meant ist better to root xperia z2 or not good??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
Well you lose nothing with (only) root, except the warranty, but you can always unroot if you feel so!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
There's no "better" or "not good" in rooting.

To root firmware means you hack and bypass few things to gain administrative rights on your device.

You won't see or feel any changes but you'll get a device without (software, of course) limitations.

So...there aren't bad things in rooting...all depends on what you need.

To simplify all that...

Sony locked advanced settings so unexperienced users can't brick device.

But we found a keys - rooting process -

So you could unlock that door and install tools and apps (you usually can't) to modify your system...

If you don't want to use custom ROMs, xposed framework, modified systemUI or install recovery....you don't need to root your device...

- It's all up to you - no one can't tell you what's best..

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alandd86:
Thanks for the explanation.. I have one issue on stock i don't know if.flashing custom roms can fix it..some times the ? is turning down with the red X dont know why :((
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:

It was during my first boot I was just setting the phone up etc in the background I has music playing as I was doing it to keep me entertained and just got really hot and the charger was having difficulties charging came up with a notification. It seems to be working fine now though so might have been just a little glitch. When is this new update rolling out?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alandd86:
i think no one knows my issue so sad !!!:(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alandd86:
:( i think i bricked my phone and hwen i try to flash a stock rom it says device disconnected :(:(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:
You have the drivers installed?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alandd86:
Yes .. But my phone suddenly shows the sony logo when flashing stock and says disconnect on flash tool
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Good news guys :P

eXistenZ Ultimate v3.0.0 is in final testings :cool:

Rom will be out in the coming days if all goes well ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jiggyb21:
That's great news! Thank you!

That's great news bro.eagerly waiting. You are awesome.:D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] crazynewfie:
Nice.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Maybe the problem comes from latest dual recovery, I am using an old version.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rowlers:
Trying this but just getting:

'adb' is not recognized as an in operable program or batch file.

Press any key to continue . . .

Now I know adb is wotking as I used it previously.

So I have supersu installed, how else can I gain custom recovery?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] alinghi100:
I think it's better that you try for many users..

Did you installed all the drivers?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
OK...

Just flashed and install all my apps...

Not a single problem or error...

Everything is working perfect...

I would like to ask only one thing...

Could you change size of this png?

View attachment 2881940

Just a bit, if not OK, I'll use stock systemUI.

Once again - awesome work...

ROM is working fantastic, it's fast and sharp and there's no hiccups...

Settings app is great, I really don't like to have many icons in app drawer so it's great to have extended shortcu in settings.

Well done my friend...well done...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rowlers:
Moved the installer to C:\ and now working...

You want that the word notification doesn't touch the edge of the button?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ishakcez:
z3 coming soon

Loading
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Follow this.

Download latest dual recovery but the flashable zip.

Open eXistenZ Ultimate zip and go on system/bin and search a file with philz in his name.

Paste that file inside dual recovery zip exactly at same place (system/bin).

Then flash that zip it will install my philz recovery, reboot in Philz, select clean to install new rom, then flash rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Haha....

When you put it that way it sounds silly...

But yeah...I would like that...

Do it yourself, right? ;)

Reduce length of that string for your language.

That apk is from previous build and seems to be incompatible.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rappa619:
Niaboc79, is it possible to link the notification and ringtone back to ringtone and notification volume instead of media volume?

Woo hoo!!!!

After coming from a S3 where there was 100's of ROM's (Which I flashed daily!!) to a Z2 where develoment is limited, it was a shock to flash 2.0.0 and be happy and LEAVE IT ALONE cos it was so good!!!

looking forward to flashing 3.0.0 soon :)

Cannot Flash

Hi,

For some reason, I cannot flash this ROM. It says some symlink failed (could hardly remember) then my Z2 wont boot. Reflashe stock firmware via flashtool, rooted again with latest .314 method, installed NUT's dual recovery, flashed this via TWRP, still failed. What shall I do?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BlackMN:
Try PhilZ Touch (volume up)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Choose apps in Aroma and flash ROM.

If you get symlink error, that's OK, just don't restart.

Flash ROM again but this time, don't change anything in Aroma, just click "next" on each page...

ROM will flash without any problems...

Then restart device and enjoy ROM...

funky0308@xda developers
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] serj.borgore:
When is available the update?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] faithraze:
Tried this but it didn't work. I still used TWRP coz Im not used to philz. Still stucked with sony logo on boot. Flashing stock firmware .314 again. BTW I have LB.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahvipardik:

There's few development rom for this phone, but at least i prefer to get few roms with great quality than the otherwise...

Patience is almost over ! ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
I had an Xperia Z and moved now to Xperia Z2 since yesterday and installed this rom also yesterday (v2.0.0 and till my own rom is finished for XZ2) and its very nice ^^

Good job bro [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] esps:
That´s Great!!!

Don´t you need Beta Tester:p:angel:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
Will it be fairly easy to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0? Without having to reset and all that?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ianrobbie:
This is indeed good news. I've just placed my order for the Z2 (didn't see the need for the Z3 when the specs are practically the same) and was pleasantly surprised to see Niaboc79 active over here.

I was a keen follower of his ROMs over on the Xperia Z forum and can't wait to flash his new v3.0 when I get my new phone at the end of the week.

Keep 'em coming!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [kEkA]:
Thanks you to Him, now you gonna have z3 :P since hes porting almost all tweaks from z3
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
It should work without wiping user data normally.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ianrobbie:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] - Do you know if you'll be able to integrate the PS4 remote play feature into your ROM? I know it hasn't been released yet, but seeing as how there is only a small clock speed difference between the two phones, it should theoretically work on the Z2.

EDIT - Never mind. I committed the cardinal sin of not searching before posting. I see this has been answered before.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
Cool.. also, reminds me; 4.3 systemui? did you make an actual port or will it be similar to the one in 2.0? (I dont actually mind the one you made for 1.0/2.0)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chalofito:
curiosity

Hey Niaboc79 a question, curiosity overclocking app will be the same PERFORMANCE CONTROL or change it? because that does not look good, greetings :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
[MENTION=4840452]esps[/MENTION]

Why need a beta tester if brother [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

Says it is in final testings and come out in few days !

Kinda useless to be a beta tester i think.

LOL !!!!!!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] gravtec:
Welcome sir to XZ2 family...;):D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] esps:

Nice to see you again ^^
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
There are no errors in his work ;)

Hehe...I'm kidding, of course but we all know what is he capable to do so...relax and prepare to something truly awesome.

"I have seen the future of Z2, his name is Niaboc ..."

( who ever followed Clive Barkers work will get this joke) ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Rom is done, I will prepare the new screenshots, the changelog and upload the rom.

I hope to finish today ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chalofito:
really thank you for all your time and want to see screenshots, although I do not own a XZ2 I would see the great work of you, greetings

We had those problems on Z1 but that was firmware problem.

There's no problems on Z2 on 312 fw.

Wipe everything, but I mean everything...

Backup your data first and then flash eXistenZ v3 (it'll be out soon, you could saw that information).

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] brouwerchris:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Yes it is.

Script will wipe system, you can only wipe cache and dalvik and keep data safe.

Also...

Niaboc fixed symlink error problem that (sometimes) appeared after flashing.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] black97one:
And I think no one knows better than niaboc79 what to do for his ROM ;)

But you can do what you want :p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Everything will work without data wipe.

This is update, based on same firmware.

It's always better to do full wipe, of course but you can do what I always do...

Make backup in recovery...

Wipe everything and boot system after flashing, then you can just restore your data backup though recovery.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

Mate...since new cameta algorithms are protected with DRM keys is that means you won't be able to port them even now, when sources are out?

Too late my friend, I got sd card but its too much to do,

to change sd, put it on other phone, download another version, put it back, flash it bla bla bla

+ I don't thin you can swap your sd in middle of recovery, or can you?

I flashed stock now, gonna recharge and try again

Wipe data of Clock widget in settings/apps/all or do a fresh install ;)

Wipe also datas of Home launcher ;)

I installed it and IS AWESOME, thank you very much, but if I wanna change the the or some apps, I have to reflash and follow AROMA again?

Because the new clock widgets are only compitable with the ported Xperia Z3 home and not an older version of Xperia Home.

I had that also on my old XZ ;)
