Cool, a dev from my country sharing his ROM here!

Will follow this and try it out when I have time! ;)

Some thoughts of features I'd like to see in a ROM:

-Custom system and window transitions with possibility to set "random"

-split view

-floating window

-hover (+controls)

-maybe some custom toolchains :)

-longpress lock icon to launch torch

Nice list to kick off :p

Anyway thanks for the ROM!
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:
Thanks mate, you know what they say "it ain't much if it ain't Dutch" lol

On thing can be deleted from your list, it's build with Linaro...

Let me know what you think
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
Hahaha yes they do!

Okay going get some sleep for now, maybe flash this tomorrow as my 5th secondary rom xD as I use multirom you know :p

:thumbup::D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Greg77970:
Great, a new thread for a new ROM, I will test this ROM tomorrow, thanks in advance devs ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:

Nice to see another Dutch brother here ^^

Awesome rom man ;)

Keep it up :D

[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
I can confirm this.

Anyone who is not using multirom and installed this rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:
did U guys Flashed the latest OwnDroid gapps Google edition to?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
Im Guessing [UB] Only :( ???
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:
UB?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
Unlocked Bootloader [ UB ] or Locked Bootloader [ LB ]
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:
Lol, sorry I just woke up...

Yes you have to have an unlocked boot loader with a custom recovery...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
Couldn't we just flash a stock kernel that is modified like a custom one ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:
I don't know yet, you could try and let us know, but remember to back up, just in case of...
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
Not tried them, will do and report back!

This rom is CM based so that means it is custom and can't flash stock kernels on it.

Also, to flash modified stock kernel, you are required to unlock your BL too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
I did but no luck
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
[MENTION=5364955]OwnDroid[/MENTION]: is it needed to flash these gapps to boot the rom?

Because I always prefer PA micro package as it's very lightweight.
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:
No it's not needed, just asking because they give problems on some devices...

They are pa based so that's not the problem, maybe a kernel problem while flashing in multi ROM, try backing up your current ROM and flash it clean...
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
Ah oké, well I didn't flash any gapps yet, only flashed the rom.

It booted until the screen dimmed (when rom starts) and seemed to loop at that point.

Maybe it have to boot longer so I will try again.

(Btw nice bootanimation)
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
Just flashed again and after some struggling on bootanimation, it finally booted to unlockscreen.

Although it rebooted after 5 sec and won't boot any further then the animation
[Xperia Z Android Development] OwnDroid:

TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Ultimate PureXZ Ultra!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
I am a root noob, i rooted my HTC Desire HD a few years ago, but then, it just seemed easier. Now i want to root and install a custom rom on my xperia Z, but it seems all the guides are made for experts? so i google'd and seemed to get hold of a guide, but not sure if its correct or outdated, i obviously dont wanna brick my phone.

So, first question, can someone link me to a valid, easy guide / tutorial, or atleast some reading material on how to root my Z? its the s6603, with Android version 4.4.2.

Secondly when it comes to custom roms, once again, it feels like there is no more guides for dummies like me, i know on my desire, i used to copy the zip over, erase a few things, and then install from zip, and it was flashed, but now i see things like this

This makes sense, except for the :

- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)

- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)

- fastboot reboot

What is fastboot, googling a bit it seems its a program i should install on Windows?

the boot.img, do i copy that out of the cm10.zip file?

To where, the phones SD Card? to Windows?

fastboot reboot, does this mean reboot the phone from fastboot? or is that the command that should be typed in?

Sorry if i come off as dumb, i am not, im just a noob. And i dont want the info spoonfed to me, i like to do my own research before asking stupid questions, but the info on the internet, is just to much, no 2 articles are talking about the same method, programs, etc

Thanks,
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indycar:
To root use towelroot.

To flash firmware use flashtool.

You can find tutorial on flashtool here somewhere.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
Hi

To root your device first download app called TOWELROOT just install it and open it then click the button then go and install SUPER SU APP FROM HERE

and open it. You will get a popup window saying SuperSU binaries need to be updated. Click ok and then NORMAL wait until it's finish and you rooted your phone now :)

And the FASTBOOT:

fastboot is a boot mode that the device go into it to modifie some system things without need to permission from the device or rooting. BUT the fastboot flash boot boot.IMG is a command that you type in in the command prompt window (CMD) but you need to unlock the device's bootloader to do that or.. You will get COMMAND DID NOT SUCCESS error in CMD ;)

Fastboot reboot command used to get the device out from fastboot mode. Use it instead of unplugging it

and as I told you fastboot not software or app. That zip file you download is drivers to make the PC recognise the device in the fastboot mode and you need to open the command prompt window in the folder you extract the fastboot drivers or it's can be also called ADB or Android debug bridge and the boot.IMG file you need to extract in from the the ROM you trying to flash and put it in the same folder you extracted fastboot drivers

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Sorry, but i am still stuck, i installed the tr.apk, that went fine, then i installed SuperSU, it asked me to update, then it asked a message about Normal or TRWM/CWM(?), i choose normal, but it said failed, and i had to reboot phone, i did this, and superSU was installed, so i tried to fastboot, i got into fastboot, it detected the device, but it said

Sending boot (10132 KB) ...

OKAY

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: command not allowed)

finished

i then rebooted with fastboot, and thought maybe that superSU was not fully installed?

so i went into superSU, and saw there was an option to clean and reinstall, i did that, it asked for the same update again normal or TRWM/CWM, and i chose the second option TRWM/CWM, it said it will reboot phone, and so it did.

I then went to play and downloaded an app to see if i have root, when it opened superSU popped up and asked if i wanted to grant access, i accepted.

but the program came back and said i dont have root?

So where is the poblem, with tr.apk? or supeSU.

Thanks for helping the noobie ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
After installing towelroot you have to open it and click on the button. This will root your device. After that you can continue with supersu
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
To check whether you are rooted or not download root checker app from play store and install.

The app will show your root status.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Thats what I did?

After installing tr.apk, I clicked on the make it ra1n button. And root checker says im not rooted.

Will I mess up if I try the process again?

Should I maybe dona factory reset first? Before trying again

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
Do you have recovery installed?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Excuse my ignorance, but what is recovery?

But i think it would be safe to say, if I dont know what it is , I dont have it installed
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
Do you have teamviewer installed on your PC?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
I dont, but i am busy downloading it now

I checked again, I took the chance and re-ran tr.apk, and clicked on "make it ra1n" again, i then went RootChecker, and it confirms i have root access.

So, off to superSU again, and it asks again to "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"

I then say yes, and I am confronted with the "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary ..."

I obviously dont have a custom recovery installed, and if i understand correctly, the boot.img in the cm10.zip folder, would be the recovery right? If so, i wold then choose normal, because i dont have custom recovery.

If the boot.img is not the custom recovery, what is then? how do i get it?

i tried to fastboot flash boot.img, once again now, after making it rain, but before running superSU, but still gave the error, that it could not write.

What am i doing wrong? am i missing steps here?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
That's because you have to unlock your bootloader first. Please use the search function and read about the risks etc of unlocking your bootloader.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Ugh, ok. Will do some research, this is not towards you, or any one in this thread, coz u are doing an awesome job helpimg me, and pointing me in the right direction. But why oh why was bootloader unlocking never even mentioned in the tutorials...

So what are my steps,

Download and run tr.apk

Then install and run supersu

Then unlock bootloader

Fastboot load boot.img

Then flash custom rom,

Or is the order wrong?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
You can flash stock based roms without unlocking the bootloader. Aosp based roms need an unlocked bootloader. If a rom needs an unlocked bootloader it is mentioned in the description like this [ub].

To unlock your bootloader root is NOT required.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Is there no all on one guide for the xperia z that includes, root, unlocking, flashing, etc. Im a tad scared to use part of this tutorial, part of that , etc
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario_666:
Second version towelroot (no need to restart) me also caused problems with the update of binaries, so suggest you First version.

Wysłane z mojego C6603 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
OK, SUCCESS !!

Thanks to all that pointed me in the right direction. I ended up doing the following.

Downloading the SDK,

Went to sony's developer site, got the boot unlock code for my IMEI, fastboot, blah blah

flash'ed CM10 boot.img

and then installed CM10 from zip.

I am playing with the phone as i type this, so it worked :D

Now, one more noobie question, and i will leave you guys alone (for awhile)

If i decide to install CM11, do i just copy the zip over to the SDCard, wipe wipe install? or do i need to fastboot boot flash with the CM11 boot.img?

Same goes for any other rom, just wipe wipe flash, or fastboot everytime?

Thanks again :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
At least that's the safe way. I hope you made a backup of your ta partition before unlocking the bootloader, otherwise your warranty is now void
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Phone is out of warranty in any case, but yea, I did make a backup, or atleast I think I did. In clockworkmod, I went to backup and restore, and selected backup to sd card
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
He meant by partition back is backup your TA (trim area) PARTITION OR DRM KEYS TO RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER ANYTIME

[General Topics] tcrimsonk:
Hi All,

At this point, I'm just brainstorming, and would like some input. (I hope this thread is in the right place)

I'm trying to find a setup to connect to free wifi hotspots that are far away, and share that connection to a group of devices locally. For example, this solution may be useful in a boat or an RV, when you're not particularly close to a free access point.

There are commercial solutions like the Rogue Wave however, this doesn't do anything to authenticate through the Terms of Service (TOS) pages that are frequently used at free access points.

This is what brings me to using Android. There are Android apps which automate the process of accepting the terms of service. My favorite right now is WebWifiLogin (I'm familiar with the security risks involved in using public wifi; and may also have the Android device to also establish a VPN connection when doing this.) (I can't find an equivalent macro-authentication solution that will run on a PC, which would make this much easier.)

So here's my proposed solution:

1. Start with a powerful omnidirectional wifi antenna (Possibly add an in-line amp if needed. Also perhaps a directional antenna may be better for non-mobile use.)

2. Connect the antenna to any Android device that supports an external Wifi antenna. I found several Android TV devices which should work. Like This, or possibly this.

3. Set up some kind of local access point/bridge. One option may be to use fqrouter2 which supposedly uses the same Wifi radio for the local WLAN, while it also connects to the remote one. Another option may be to USB or Ethernet tether to a DD-WRT Router.

Result:

The Android device has a range to connect to a free hotspot up to a mile or two away, then automatically accepts the TOS using the WebWifiLogin app, and shares that connection locally to a handful of devices.

So am I crazy? Is this too complex to work correctly? Is there a simpler solution that I'm missing?
[General Topics] tcrimsonk:
Can anyone confirm whether I've posted this in the correct sub-forum?

Thanks.
[General Topics] ssenemosewa:
I use a slightly different method which yields the same results.

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router (with high gain antennas) which runs DD-WRT and a script called AutoAP. The script scans for unencrypted WIFI access points, makes sure they're live, and automatically connects to the strongest one in range.

I set up a second WPA2 encrypted WIFI SSID in the router which I connect to with my Android tablet. Once WebWifiLogin on the tablet handles the TOS login, the remote access point allows web access for any device that connects to the WRT54GL router (either by WIFI to the secondary SSID or through one of the ports)! This happens because the remote access point usually checks/remembers TOS acceptance by the MAC address of the connected device. Since it only sees the MAC address of my router, anything behind the router now gets access.
[General Topics] tcrimsonk:
This is great information; thanks!

I would not have thought WebWifiLogin would work when connecting through another router. When WebWifiLogin is running, its status says "Listening for WiFi events" (Or something similar) so I was under the impression that WebWifiLogin would only work if the connection to the AP is made directly by the Android WiFi interface, and not through a intermediary router.

This makes things much easier.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterbottels:
I rooted my phone using towel root, everything seemed fine until it started randomly crashing. Now the crashing happens like this, the screen will freeze (with like weird tearing) then either restart or stay frozen. The only root app I use is wifi tether router. I did notice supersu will fail to update the binaries. Not sure if that could be a cause.

My question is how do I unroot it. So I can at least attempt any kind of fix. I'm still under warranty.

Can anyone help me at all? Please
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
A thorough way to unroot and reset everything is to Odin back to stock and then do a factory reset. The stock tar can be found here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterbottels:
I was able to get supersu to work again, could I do an unroot through that even if I used towelroot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
There is an unroot option in SuperSU (although I've never done it so I don't know if it actually unroots or just cleans up things to allow a clean unroot. The other thing I'm not sure it does is restore Knox which is something that will be checked for by the manufacturer). If you're taking your phone back or sending it in under warranty you probably should make sure you uninstall anything you need root for prior to unrooting, but if you're on a custom rom or want to make sure everything is back to factory (including Knox) I would recommend doing what I suggested in my last post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoffe:
Same Problem

Same problem as OP. I had a Note 3 originally that I took the update to 4.4.2 and used Towelroot and everything was fine. I recently broke the bejesus out of my Note 3 and got a replacement under the warranty. I used Towelroot on the new Note 3 and I am getting random freezing and a weird line that appears across the screen once it freezes. Sometimes it will reboot others I need to pull the battery.

What is happening? I am now back to stock and want to root again. Anyone have a solution to this?

As you can tell from post numbers, I don't usually post here, but I really like the sound of this Rom, great potential to get all the features you could want :) will try it out tomorrow

Oh and features I look for in the notification centre least toggles) are a play music and network mode(swap between 2g/3g, probably 4g, but i don't get 4g!) Those are the two toggles I struggle with on cm Roms.

Thanks
