Go in system/vendor/overlay

There is a file called android-res.apk

Decompile it with apktool and go in res/values/dimens.xml

Set all value to 0.0dip

Rebuild the apk and move meta folder and android.manifest to your new apk.

Rename your new apk to android-res.apk and paste it in system/vendor/overlay with rw- r-- r-- permissions.

Be sure to turn expanded desktop on and reboot.

This will set the navigation bar to 0.0dpi and this will adapt all the applications that I have modded with adaptive layout according to navbar size like Home and Walkman ;)

Anyone else having a problem to sort the contacts by surname ?? It just doesnt work ....
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] loveninecube:
Thanks for quick reply, but android-res.apk isn't there in overlay folder on my Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Use "view contact as" option ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Restart aroma and choose 36 dpi navbar this time.

Hi everyone.

At first thank you for your very nice work niaboc79.

I tried different Roms but the battery consumption forced me every time to go back to Sony Stock.

Now i found this Rom and its amazing ... nice features combined with Sony Stock Rom so that i can use Stamina.

I think i found a Bug maybe someone can help me with this.

Xposed is installed and running so that i can choose the Aneurysm Design.

At first everything is looking good but when i do a reboot the Google Search Bar is white and not black anymore.

Maybe iam doing something wrong ?

Thanks ... and sorry for my bad english.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Simply applys theme after each reboot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hieuhd93:
I dont see other options in quick settings ( KK Default) ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Active Xposed framework, then Xperia Xposed module then in systemUI settings, check show new buttons.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hieuhd93:
Didnt work, in stock, i dont need xposed to have those...?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Don't tell me that you are talking about the basic 16 choices who are in settings/personalization/quick settings..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hieuhd93:
No, other choices like 2g/3g switch, torch, battery info, usb debug...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
So....

Active them in Xposed !

These options aren't available on stock but only with Xperia Xposed module.

Hmm need help here. Had latest Z2 latest fw, 5.0.2, rooted, checked ok, TWRP recovery, clean cache/dalvik/data, install zip, when starting the install phone rebooted and tried to start up the stock fw. Looping with the blue animated background, hard reset (pwr+vol.up), then holding vol.up and entering recovery. But now a new recovery has replaced TWRP, CW I think. Again I try to clean all and prepare for install.

Hit install from sdcard, and same happens, phone just reboots, but this time bootloops at Sony logo - And nomatter what I do I am unable to enter recovery mode, phone is stuck at Sony logo.

I do not think I had unlocked the bootloader, but I figured I did not have to since this rom did not need unlocked bootloader it said in the description.

Why did this happen and what cause it? I want to install this rom, but now I am stuck...

How do I get out of the bootloop with the Sony logo? What is the fastest method with least possible pain.

Please advise, as I do not have a backup phone and need a working phone.

messus

EDIT:

Unbricked the phone by using flashtools and installing stock rom, then rooted again, and this time also unlocked bootloader.

But same happens again, after hitting install on the ZIP file, the phone reboots after a while and hangs/loops with the Sony logo.

So now I have to unbrick again.

Why does this happen? Why will the eXistenz 4.5.0 not install? :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] leandroprez26:
Bad download.

Download the file again from Mediafire.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] messus:
Thanks for your input, but no luck, 3rd time now, same happens. Downloaded 3 times.

This time I also installed the NUT dual recovery, reformatted and cleaned memory card, with only needed files on it.

Same thing happens, reboots after a few seconds after I hit install the ZIP file.. At least this time it startet up the stock rom again.

Sad, I really wanted to use this ROM, will have to try another ROM, if I cannot figure out what is the problem here :(

EDIT: 4th attempt, this time tried with another SDCARD, formatted in phone, no luck, phone reboots 30seconds after I hit install ZIP from SDCARD.

Anyone?

[MENTION=308390]messus[/MENTION]

You write that you flash a kitkat rom over a lollipop rom right? Won't work. Try the following:

Download the rom with a stable connection and disable antivir and downloadbooster etc.

Install stock. 314 via flashtool.

Enable developers options, USB debugging and allow unknown sources

Use nuts recovery installer and install using option 3

Wait for reboot

Enter philz cwm recovery via NDR utils

Go to wipe and format options - choose clean all to install new rom

Install Existenz.

done.

Cheerio.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] messus:
Spot on! That's exactly what I was trying to do.

Installed 314, rooted, nuts recovery option 1.

Flashed and everything working fine now it seem.

I am not sure though if I need to install that patch file for 6502, my unit is a 6503.

Thank you so much! You saved my day :)

Hi there

Thank you for a great rom.

How do I activate the build in Xposed firmware?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mihailgreceanu:
hello, I am a big fan of your work, I'm using your existenz kitkat version, and the only reason I don't upgrade to lollipop is googleplay services.

On lollipop, whenever i disable the services all my contacts go away (not to mention the calendar and other things ). On your 4.4.4 version i can successfully disable the services without any consequences.

Any idea how to fix this on lollipop? I like to keep the gservices disabled when i don't use them.

Thank you.
