Can I flash it over your previous build or do I have to do full data wipe?

And in kitkat based custom ROMs the camera quality degraded significantly but in this the quality is equivalent to when I had locked bootloader, how's that?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
as u wish; make a backup in case. Build uploading
[Sony Xperia ZL] willsonsin:
Flashed your latest build (1222). Everything seems working fine here. Nothing unusual. And all the features you stated in your changelog is working fine here also. :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] primod808:
Did you do a full wipe or did you flash it over previous?
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
Hi, flashed lastest build, fast and smooth. But Titanium Backup didn' work. The CM recovery is suck, can not install SuperSU zip. Anyone here have problem with TB?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
Chào bác đồng hương :D I don't like the recovery. I try to installing twrp recovery download from NUT thread but unsuccessful. Anyone can help? Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
NUT's recovery work only with stock(based) ROMs! As I told you twice before, use Xperia Recovery Manager!

Alx: Everything's cool with new build. Gapps didn't persist, but no big deal... Thanks, my friend!
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
Sorry bc i don't know about "Nut's recovery work only with stock (based) ROMs". I will install Xperia recovery like u recommend. Thank u so much. PS: I feel the battery drain so fast when using 3G connection.
[Sony Xperia ZL] k0nko87:
Hey guys, can you please somebody help me?

I want to try this ROM, i have unlocked bootloader, and im rooted too.

I stuck at the first step with fastboot.

When i trying fastboot command fastboot flash boot boot.img i stuck in Writing boot.

It says : FAILED <Remote: command not allowed>

Can anybody know where can be the problem?

Thanks in advice
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
Chào bác :)

Do you use TB to restore apps? TB worked well with same Candy 5 0.8.3 on my tab (LG V500).
[Sony Xperia ZL] willsonsin:
nop, I just simply flash it without full wiped.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Only two solutions, or u didn't unlocked properly BL, or else u didn't installed fastboot drivers, in that case idk how u unlocked BL, install flashtool at your PC OS's root, once done, u go to C:/FlashTool/drivers et u run .exe u'll find there and 4 boxes has to be ticked, flashmode drivers, fastboot drivers, adb drivers for fusion3 devices or xperia z devices i don t remember how its written, and then xperia z zl zr drivers. Then u fastboot flash cm11 kernel as lollipop kernels as a broken cwm.

Easy as fu*ck, and all infos are here on xda and told thousand times...grab a chair and have some reading next time.

[Sony Xperia ZL] kwaille:
Nice rom!

But CM recovery doesn't allow me to toggle signature verification (no way to flash gapps).

So I installed dual recovery,on reboot CM was here again but when i reboot to system,twrp came...:D

No bugs for me at the moment,except the apn's physical button not working (not so bad for a beta...:))
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
Why not flash boot.omg over flashtool? It has option for it
[Sony Xperia ZL] cnkhanh:
Chào các bác :)

[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION] : I experienced 1 call with no sound and faster battery drain than Stock Sony but still a great ROM to use as daily driver (for me) Smoother experience than any other ROM I have ever tried.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
VN mình trong forum cũng đông vui quá :D 2 bác có đổi cm recovery mặc định sang cái khác không ạ? After 1 day using with 2 times full charging, battery becomes better. Can not restore apps + data using titanium backup.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
I has same problem in this rom, can't restore app+data. But after installation from play store (or manually from unpacked archives) I was able to restore saved data fo my apps.
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
I can restore some data e.g. call logs but unable to restore normal app+data. Now I am back to KK and wait for next update to try.

Axl dev, could you pls use other recovery for future build [emoji1]

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

I have to flash CWM by flashtool to restore my KK. Did you try NUT's Dual recovery with this rom, I will try this if new build still use CM recovery.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Yeah i will try to use twrp for further builds, but problem is; my builds doesn't boot when i build with twrp...

And guyz...did u flashed SuperSU at same time u flashed Gapps, right after rom's flash?

I have no problem at all with Titanium Backup Pro to restore apps...and i used Banks's minimal gapps
[Sony Xperia ZL] willsonsin:
Nop, I didnt flash SuperSU...my root is working fine here...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Yeah but why TB doesn't work and only difference with me would be that SU update flash...
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
I want to try SuperSU but couldn't flash it with CM recovery. On my tab with Candy 5, TB worked well with built-in Superuser.

Can you use CWM with your build?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
I didn't flash supersu or any other zips, only rom and gapps for lollipop from this - http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/gapps-google-apps-flashable-package-t2930260, nothing more. And titanium backup pro can't restore apps, only data.

Btw, my friend with lg g3 also cat't restore apps+data on his device with titanium backup pro in cm12. So I thought that the problem with titanium and lollipop but you can restore your apps.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Idk what to say...as i said it works perfect here :(

Will give a go to twrp on next build to see what happens
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
I tried to install NUT's Dual recovery but not successfull. Hope Alx can do something in the next build :o I still using this rom and fall in love with it, very smooth and fast and beautifull :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
I will try to flash SuperSU and Dual recovery right after flash rom and gapps to see if TB can work.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Why u think Nut's recovery will work on CM...it can't bro, his dual is done for stock roms...be patient, still test builds ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
Yes, it didn't work. And I think the TB problem is due to Superuser, as it work with SuperSU flashed after rom and gapps. [emoji106]
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
New build is up

booting on my Yuga

candy5-RC.v0.9.0-20141224-OFFICIAL-odin.zip

Changelog

shifted to android 5.0.2 and Candy5 RC status v0.9.0

lots of sh*t added just get on CandyRoms Github

also some fixes/new functions added by SuperHanss

on our kernel here

432mhz low cpu frequency enabled in order to get rid of stuttering audio issue

u will also find there a candy5-RC.v0.9.0-Dark-OFFICIAL-odin.zip (will be available for download in abt half an hour from now ) wich is exactly same build but with gamma control+ settings/framework base blacked. white edition doesn't have gamma control, if u want it, just download dark edition, extract boot.img and fastboot flash it over your white edition.

i won't make each time a black and a white build as i have a ****ty connection, it takes me 17/18 minuters to build but 45 minutes to upload.

im making a poll (so please vote) to know how much of u prefer Candy5 black or white edition.

will implement twrp on next build...im making tests on TabZ

BTW Merry Christmas to all of you.
[Sony Xperia ZL] iNitrox:
thanks a lot Alx31TLse :)

i downloaded the dark edition

:good: Merry christmas 2U too!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Thx :)

Yo ! Bring back some screens to show please...i didn't even flashed it on my own device, i have no time
[Sony Xperia ZL] rituj_b:
There is no 432mhz freq. In white edition.

I dirty flashed it over previous version..
[Sony Xperia ZL] cnkhanh:
[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION]

A thousand thanks for the ROM.

I dont know if this is a bug: I cannot send a message to multiple contacts at the same time. It is always failing and retrying.
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
Great jobs Alx31TLse :) and +1 for dark theme.

Anyone see that the Camera have problem, it looks weird, distorted image in preview and taken photo?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Be patient guyz...for sure bugz popping out, im still trying some stuff.

I forgot to make the poll, will do later on today, make sure to vote please, or else it will be darked all the time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
Please, no. I like stock lollypop interface, it should be white.

Maybe you can use something like aroma installer or something like that to merge two roms in one zip?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
nope i won't make a 650mb zip to put both build cuz the main idea...its to build only one time, anyways...the poll is on
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
Voted for white cuz i don't want to switch to other rom.
[Sony Xperia ZL] primod808:
I vote for stock white
[Sony Xperia ZL] anagramgenius:
Guys, believe me, white and green is best. Voted for white. Here are some screen shots from black version.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Zerelth:
Well well, I might say that black attracts me more ( -_-), but there's something...wrong. Black just doesn't fit with Lollipop for some reason (though black is still amazing!)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
Black looks like kitkat with lollipop navbar/statusbar. Not sure if this is what we need. Stock white is much better.
[Sony Xperia ZL] penars:
I agree, put in a vote for white.
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
After give white version a try, I changed my vote to white :) white version looks more consistancy than dark version.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
I really like the dark theme. But there are some bugs like black font on dark background in some of the settings. I.e. apps in Superuser...

Anyway I voted for dark!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
black version is also early stage, don't take it as final version ;) i also luv it dark
[Sony Xperia ZL] rkdss:
I voted for the clear theme and am using the two days rom, quite satisfied.

Thanks!!

Just a short feedback ... starting to love this rom it's almost a daily driver.

I know it is in an early stage and I do hope this feedback helps to further improve this room.

Did a clean flash and this are the problems what I'm experiencing after almost a week

- ring tone phone is not working after a couple of use (I'm using tasker to switch profiles but not the tone as such. The strange thing is I'm having now 4 entries of the same tone but only the last one is working)

- voice on phone cannot be heard sometimes also a very strange phenomena from time to time the other one cannot hear me

- unstable blootooth and baseband GMS, UMTS LTE connection

[MENTION=256852]ALX[/MENTION] thanks for your work and a happy new year

Edit: with the installed superuser some apps don't recognize the root ... like my Pie Pro ... this can be solved by installing SuperSU from Chainfire
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
well ...unstable gsm its a bit normal sh*t as our hack consist to take Xperia Z1 ril's header...wich needs to be modified but CM doesn't help at all on this...so idk whats gonna happen in future, if they don't fix it we will prolly need to wait for Sony's Lollipop blobs...wich gonna be at the end of first 2015 trimester if im not mistaken, and then we will have to make some test so its far away from now.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
I hasn't any problems with gsm and calling, but can't use mobile data after WiFi is off. Need to switch airplane mode on and off to get it work.
[Sony Xperia ZL] primod808:
I have no issues with gsm, data, or WiFi. The only bug is the call bug where how to remedy this is turning on and off the speaker call. Other then that everything is fine on my usage.

Hello all title says it all. I should also mention that I am not running safestrap. My phone's battery life has been awful since updating to NI2. So I wanted to wipe and start from scratch. Is there an easy way to wipe and still have root?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scadilla:
Anyone? Just want to factory reset NI2 and still have root. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpetruzz:
I believe you can factory reset to the original firmware NCG and then update and re root. Not 100% sure though
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c4manceph:
Factory reset will cause you to lose root, but you can regain root by using the same method you used previously on NI2...That's what I would do.

You could try the SuperSU Pro feature to maintain root as a plan A and if it fails just follow the steps you did previously.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatt503:
I'm not sure why people are saying you will lose root after a factory reset...

Did mine yesterday and DO have root
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warpedmind0u812:
From verizon: " Warning Perform a factory data reset only if absolutely necessary as it removes all data including:

Google account

System and app data

App settings

Downloaded apps

Music, pictures and videos (It's recommended to backup this data)."

Performing a factory reset will not cause you to lose root. It just clears the data as stated above.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] carterjohn21:
I have my HTC One M8 running on the GPE firmware, and I'm trying to get back to stock. I tried with an unlocked bootloader, locked bootloader, ran the RUU as an admin, changed the CID to SuperCID and CWS__001 with no success. What confuses me is I've used this utility before to restore back to stock under the same circumstances with no problem. Hope someone can help, thanks

-John Carter
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hack14u:
The GPE changes the partition layout and thus makes it more interesting to get back to stock. Just running a RUU won't do it. It could be not so hard, and it could be a nightmare as it was for me. Read, read, and read some more on this post, you will get it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You posted the opposite information here (RUU will convert back to Sense from GPE) in Post #73: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2721435&page=8

What difficulties did you encounter with the RUU?

RUU should in theory re-write all partitions, so the fact the partition layout is different in GPE should not in itself make the RUU fail.

Also, the OP's error 159 is just wrong CID, so again I don't think its related to partition layout being different.

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

S-on or S-off (I assume s-on if you are messing with the CID in the first place). Also, you relocked the bootloader before running the RUU?

Did you make sure the CID was actually changed by doing adb getvar all?

Hi friends,

I just rooted my I9300 for the first time. I followed the guides step by step and got to point where i should backup everything with either TWRP or Clockworkmod. I chose to go with TWRP, installed it and when i try to do a classical backup it tells me the new version of TWRP is only able to backup to internal storage. I was not sure if i may proceed with flashing ROM's at this point. I couldn't find information on threads regarding this issue. and i was not allowed to post on developer threads where TWRP tutorial was:http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t1943592

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
Do you have the actual version 2.8. I never had any problems with writing to /reading from internal or external sdcard.

I can get Slim rom and Octo to lock but it looks as if anything that is based off cyanogenmod kernel does not work.

You can try this, but you'll have to flash back to Touchwiz to do it.

Calibrating Compass

1) Go to the test menu page by dialing* # 0 * #

2) Press Sensors (Never press Sleepmode!)

3) At the bottom of the page is compass and the number must be 3. That means you have calibrated the compass by 3 axis....

4) If you have number 0,1 or 2 just move your phone in the air until you get 3...

That and signal problems are widely known issues on AOSP ROMs that aren't for AOSP devices. AOSP's RIL stack just can't hold a signal as well as the software that was made for the device.
