Well, not sure exactly what's going on, a clean install of just the ROM and gapps followed by pulling a theme off the play store. I changed just the style option and within a couple of seconds of tapping apply it soft booted, although it did not get stuck in a boot loop as it did on previous attempts with this version. Subsequent changes of theme bits between that theme and default and installing and using all of Dark Flat UI didn't cause a reboot.

two things at this stage,

Is the navbar customisation stuff causing problems?

Under "Language & Input" the "display input method selector icon" setting has been included twice, in the top level of L&I and in the "advanced" subpanel.

As much as I like mucking around with ROMs I am beginning to regret having a 63 random printable ASCII character password on my Google account. While I do tend to remove the CM documents and file manager fairly early on it seems a little odd to have no file manager built in to the ROM (that I could see), they come in handy for simple housekeeping in the early stages of setup and config.
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
That's a problem with cm12 theme engine. Its still a WIP , so some themes will cause problems....
[Xperia Z Android Development] Nameless One:
Still a bit odd that a theme will first cause such a problem and then work fine, with no change just a system re-installation.

I should probably have a look at wherever they discuss the theme engine (or users do) to see what they are aware of, one thing I've noticed since they made status and navbars separately themeable items is that the code that deals with "style" is still applying those to the system so that to revert to previous they have to be selected and applied in the new theme before selecting the old ones because they are changing without the overall code (or the new status/navbar code) being aware. Or selected along with style and then reverted via the old theme selection.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
there is cm12 theme communities on G+ ; feel free to get there, but im pretty sure they aware about everything, commits going thru gerrit about theme engine everyday, so as heisendberg said...still a wip ;)

There appear to be two recents view search bar options, one in display and one in candy interface, neither of which seem to do anything.

I had a look at the Google+ CM theme community, like the Novalauncher beta community it makes me wish I could more easily filter out the posts of people showing off their homescreen background or icons and just get the important stuff in the Android G+ client. I have had a look/play but it seems that I can only choose to view one type of post or all types. I gave Google some feedback which was probably a waste of time.

No setting for battery saver in battery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Acudor:
how's this rom compared to KK in gaming .. cuz i didn't unlock my bootloader yet so i can't take the risk until i make sure it's actually worth it.. and is it stable for everyday use ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
are u seriously gonna ask this in each thread? we making roms in our free time, the least u can do its to back up and try it by yourself, if u scared, just don't flash it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Acudor:
i had to ask on two of the best LP roms since Q&A section is somehow abandoned and people like you say "try for yourself" while i'm not scared and i tried it in different phones .. i just don't want to waste the warranty for nothing.. is that enough for you or you want me to repeat it in the other section ? now that i know devs are doing it for free i've never offended any dev before and next time you talk to someone .. be respectful
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
be respectful of our work TOO and feel free to use Q&A section sir, its in xda rules.

u don't wanna void warranty? don't unlock bootloader or else...OH WAIT! since years there TA partition backup script working wich is.....keeping TA partition, wich is....

....

KEEPING YOUR WARRANTY SAFE

but to know these things, u need to "loose time by reading this nice forum" as i and lot of people did....u have no time to read? i have not either to loose with such comments.

i am sorry, so sorry, but asking this kind of question in dev threads is just polluting forum and make it just more complicate to get useful information. its not just you but its like that....im just tired to see pple asking "its the battery life good?" "am i gonna waste my time with this rom?" "is this rom good for daily use" wow.........once again its xda developers, not a place to get your phone cool.

there's a link in my signature....feel free to read it.

i am spending countless hours to work on this, and BTW candy and also validus head developers TOO....i am sorry once again but yes, i felt offended by such comments.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Acudor:
if you really feel offended, then i'm sorry but you also need to know that i spend most of my time in college and projects because i'm in architecture and you know what we go through so i have no time to read.. in any case not all of us tend to look for a cool rom for his device and not because i asked if this rom is good or not then i'm offending you, no.

i just wanted to tell you not to judge people from how they comment and i know how much pressure u go through to do all this .. but you're not the only one that has that kind of pressure, we all are. anyway sorry for any misunderstanding and thank you for your work.

EDIT: and btw asking and answering questions are pretty usefull information for users aswell, goodnight
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
this is based on cm12 and will get same bugz, or not as we are a bit in front with kernel and device.

u have no time to read, i don't have either, with a 8 months old kid and a life, but i took time to read when i needed to know something. i am not a dev, i am someone exactly like u but i read xda tutorials to make roms.

at the end.........rom is usable for daily use but still, u can install multirom and keep your current set up, and u can "try" the available roms for free on xda as secondary rom, but again for this u need to read, u know how to find threads, then u know how to read useful infos. time is an excuse.

thanks for understanding, off topic ends here.

Lol that humor.. it was there before (Settings > Battery)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragonnn:
Hi! The last update give me two problems - first the network traffic indicator is on the right of the status bar after the battery icon with look ugly, it was better in previous version when it where on the right but before the battery, data and wifi indicator. Second after the last update my favourite xposed module have stooped working - CPU temp in statusbar, can be the changes with was mode to systemui revert or changed to allow this module working again?

And I have a small request - I am musing one tile in the quick settings - the network mode tile (2G/3G switch) - I can add it with Gravitybox but it is hard to get it working because it conflicts with the candy setting for the tiles (often happens that all tiles are not visible).
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Really sorry, but xposed devs has to adapt cm and other roms, becuz it won't be candy devs nor the other ones on other roms, who gonna mod their roms and break stuff just to make xposed works...thats for sure, and anyways if u have any bugs with xposed fine, but everyone knows that xposed is creating unwanted bugs...so use it as u want, but in any of my threads i will take bug reports with xposed installed.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragonnn:
Hi I know, just I would not ask to this if it won't work at all, it just breaks after last update. But sure I understand, and what about the network traffic indicator? It have nothing to do with Xposed, happens without it too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
I have no clue i didn't tried it....wait for next build to see if its fixed...

Does anybody knows where Gapps have gone on the linked website in the opening post?

OK I have found another link. Nevertheless I now have another question. How can I install Xposed Framework (since I would like to use PIE)?

Do I need some other recovery, because I get the error "Footer is wrong" and mostly it seems to be due to the installed recovery. Or is there another option?

Best,

[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
if u use 5.1 build i hope u use 5.1 gapps pack...

just try a different pack than what u have then....
[Xperia Z Android Development] airlessproject:
Do you maybe have Auto-sync and Location turned on? It's best to turn them off when you don't really need them.. try to at least set Location Mode to Device only (that should reduce nlp-related wakelocks) and reduce enabled auto-synced apps/accounts only to those you need to use.

Also if you don't need Data/Wi-Fi overnight you could turn them off too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] sadebash:
For those of you who has battery drain, this worked for me and might work for you as well:

Just noticed Today when wanting to use directional software that GPS isn't working with the latest version of this ROM (at least not for me), logs attached.

Apart from that and a strange boot animation corruption I have seen with the last two ROMs I've flashed (this and the latest Euphoria, not sure if my phone is starting to fail in some strange way) it's good to be back with this ROM.

When I first went looking for a LP ROM to use I thought this would be too much bling (based on the name and thread first post, it was my last choice in the list I had at the time) and Validus seemed like the best option based on the first posts in the various ROM threads, now I prefer this and Validus seems to be all about shoving their brand in people's faces (that and silly flying skulls), interesting how things pan out.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:

When I reboot and do the appropriate actions to enter recovery mode or select recovery from the advanced power menu I get a black screen instead of recovery.

Also noted a few things:

* swiping on the lock screen to activate the camera results in a camera FC message (tried another camera app and it FCed too)

* the camera app doesn't show up in the default launcher's list of apps (or in Nova's list).

* Wi-Fi gets stuck at "Turning Wi-Fi on..." (which may explain the heat and battery drain I was experiencing)

That was about Tesla, yes. I didn't pay enough attention or leave the ROM on my phone long enough to notice anything else, I put the new CandyRom on instead and will watch that very carefully since the last version I used (early May for a couple of days) was doing something odd cellular data-wise.

worst build

This update 2.5.5 was a nightmare for me. I updated from 1.0.1... to my surprise i found that i lost my twrp recovery. This update installed its own cmw recovery which didnt allow any other recovery zips to install and was throwing errors. Even i couldnt install recoveries using "recovery manager app" or "xzrecovery app". Then i thought i would clean install. So, did a factory reset and re-installed 2.5.5.... uff.. now i lost my root also.. Kingroot.apk and kingoroot including towel root also failed to root v2.5.5.. After fighting for root which failed, i clean installed v1.0.1 > immediately rebooted into twrp recovery (which was installed by v1.0.1) without booting into the fresh rom > restored my v1.0.1 nandroid backup..

thank nature for v1.0.1 which restored my twrp recovery and root :)...

would request devs to remove automatic installing of recovery by new updates and to maintain root status too for users like us :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
Perhaps the recovery was installed in fota partition. Just flash stock fotakernel only in flashtool and install any recovery of your likings.

Or, for users like us, use multirom to install, so if you don't like it u can delete it and keep the primary rom.

Most devs will keep automatic install of recovery because why flash a rom with no recovery?:confused::D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Nameless One:
For the FOTAKernel recovery to work the booting kernel needs to have the "extract_elf_ramdisk" method built into it, I vaguely remember a page here at XDA forums that showed how to patch a boot.img to add "extract_elf_ramdisk" but I can't find it any more.

Without that support you will boot into whatever recovery is built into the boot.img of the ROM you are using, it doesn't affect the FOTAKernel partition in any way and you can mess around flashing stuff to FOTAKernel all day without making any difference since the boot.img will simply ignore it.

As far as I understand things ROMs flashed from recovery do not contain FOTAKernel stuff so anything you have there is safe regardless of which ROM you have flashed that way.
[Xperia Z Android Development] sathya80:
I did flash using terminal emulator without any errors into fotakernal.. but it booted only the recovery installed by rom. Sry.. but devs can add some better updated recovery which supports most of zips, rather than old one. So, is there any root method for v2.5.5 with lollipop 5.1.1? Found only for 5.0.2.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Diatomix98:
Simply flash supersu.zip in recovery and you are done.

First time boot with this version (dirty flashed from a copy downloaded via PC) the back-light wasn't working and with the added boot time thanks to my wiping dalvik cache it seemed the build was broken. After two forced reboots during the initial boot stage, I noticed that under bright light the "updating apps" notice was barely visible in the middle of the screen so I let it continue and just before it got to the home screen the back-light came on.

I rebooted the phone and the back-light worked during boot, the darkened pause between the Sony logo and the Android animation did seem longer than usual but that was probably the "excitement" of the moment.

According to discussions in his thread [MENTION=5145127]qsnc[/MENTION] has had backlight issues for some time now. This is the first time I've experienced it myself and I wonder if the other ROMs are going to see the problem soon, none that I follow have it yet despite the problem existing for quite a while now.

Something I'm curious about and haven't read an explanation for, why doesn't the evomix kernel have the penguin logo any more?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Ok thank you sir for the feedback.

Since i broke my yuga, i can't test my builds the time i replace that battery.

Its not evomix kernel, its all plain cm stuff thats why it has same bugs.

Will make new build somewhere tomorrow with my regular stuff.

No need to say sorry, I wouldn't expect anyone to build for a phone they don't have in working condition, that you are doing so is commendable.

I broke my XZ over a long period by sticking it in my jeans pocket, the fibreglass framework broke roughly midway along the phone's length bit by bit as it was bent over my thigh. Then as I was buying what I needed to repair it the screen broke. As a result of buying a combo framework and screen that as luck would have it had been stuck together poorly the new screen broke and I ended up spending over a hundred dollars more than what it would have cost to buy a new XZ phone to finally fix it.

Thanks for supporting Yuga even though you don't have one currently :good:

The latest build,as earlier said gets black screen after booting. It is found in many ROMs as of now. but the ROM does boot after some time and is working really smooth.
