Can you add a zip to add back super vivid and xreality
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
There's already one in Cross device section.. Just download and flash it.. Wipe Cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing any MODs.. ;)

[MENTION=248222]tornado[/MENTION]™ bro are you building separate rom for c6602 or I can use the current v3 tornado rom? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
He already done it.. Waiting for his internet connection to upload.. He will upload it soon.. Just wait
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Guys, C6602 version uploaded and is under final testing.. Will give the link as soon as i know there are no problems with it.. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
OP updated with link for C6602 as well.. Enjoy it guys.. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] kirin0ichiban:
Trying to install V3 stalls my TWRP and causes a restart.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
I have said too many times in this very own thread. Don't use TWRP to flash any stock based ROMs coz they are large in size. Use Philz touch recovery for flashing Stock based ROMs..
[Xperia Z Android Development] comax70:
Screen mirorr work fine on tv samsung smart i have ulock bootloader after flash dmr zip restore waoooo
[Xperia Z Android Development] kirin0ichiban:
I forgot to go through the thread as I normally do with new things. I ended up flashing a stock ftf and following the instructions written in the op. Everything works fine now. Thanks for a very smooth rom!

*edit*

As with all sony stock roms, I get random reboots when the battery is charged over 90% Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] alfredlai:
I flashed ur ROM with HoDor kernel everything works fine , thanks for ur hard work :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] 115dan:
[MENTION=4921331]tOrNadO™[/MENTION]™ Why is the xbin folder that big? I like to delete everything that i don't need and xbin is 160mb, on other stock based roms is 1-2mb. What's in there?

possible serious [ROM] [4.4.4]. [292] [Z] Tornado Stock for xperia Z c6616?:good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] x3mracer:
Is the C6602 version also supposed to be .292? i just downloaded and flashed it and it shows .283 on my phone. I came from a stock .283 rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
292 is a region specific update.. Indian region wasnt given a 292 update as it was unnecessary. 292 update is related to LTE fixes and some other improvements. C6602 version is 283. My bad i forgot to mention it. Although i found Chinese brand FTF with 292 build no, again i thought it was a waste of time to go for it for C6602 version since 4g hasnt even begun to rise in India and C6602 is mostly sub continental model. Anyways 283 and 292 aren't much different in all main aspects of the system. ;)

EDIT: BTW Guys, i have bought a Z2 and i had to sell my XZ to buy it. I however have a few testers who are willing to test for my coming builds if needed. I will do what i can. Thank you all for your support. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] comax70:
Thanks for all tornado
[Xperia Z Android Development] deck91:
Hi bro! Thx the rom. It's the best! Fast and smooth ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Ofc there is no kernel included in the zip, so flash supersu fix and then reboot.. Install the recovery from ur PC..
[Xperia Z Android Development] cpx07:
Thank you, already,extracted from another rom :)

For the lesser experienced users you can follow the steps bellow:

1. Download the apk from the link and save it to your sd card

2. Use Esfile Explorer with root enabled (activate în settings- tools)

3. Copy the apk from sd card to your device in system/app

4. Long click it and then properties, there you push the change button from permission and set it as mentioned

5. Reboot and all is good

I have attached some screenshots (i have pushed both contacts and calendar because I wanted both).

Thank you
[Xperia Z Android Development] sontran_vietnam:
Do u have any add-on for this rom like small navigation bar, or mod sound.......

And i see in the post there is not mention about bug ??
[Xperia Z Android Development] seba112:
For small navigation bar You must use Xposed + Gravity Box, for sound - ViperFX, all is on xda ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] sontran_vietnam:
I mean mod the sound louder than stock ^^
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Increasing the speaker volume will only affect the speaker's lifetime. It also creates more noise instead of clear sound if increased. If time persists, i will make some useful MODs like this as Add-Ons in the future.. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] comax70:
This rom have all feature stock without remove?
[Xperia Z Android Development] androidfreak70:
Yes.

Hey [MENTION=4921331]tOrNadO™[/MENTION] nice to see your ROM :) and ANOTHER ROM FOR XZ! :D

Rom so good, but some apps crash when I open it, so how to Fix crashed apps on my phone :(

I have reflash twice

sorry for my bad english :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Crash? Which apps? Can u give me screenshots and a logcat if possible..
[Xperia Z Android Development] buondoivn:
app battery calibrator, and some apps but i have to delete them.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Battery caliberator? Thats not linked to the ROM, But still i would suggestu not to use any battery caliberator apps or Antiviruses.. Both don't work... They never will, because Android is linux based OS, so no viruses can affect your phone without ur permission coz it requires root permission to performs its tasks.. And for caliberation, i will put a tutorial(works perfectly) in my OP when time persists..
[Xperia Z Android Development] >>??<<:
looking forward to seeing your tutorial :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] technoid1:
where is the problem? when I install in the TWRP, recowery menu restarts and the installation is not
[Xperia Z Android Development] The Big Z:
Don´t use TWRP, use ClockWorkMod and you can install it without problems.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ChristO1624:
"- This rom is prerooted but doesnt contain a superuser app

- This rom doesn't contain any kernel, so be sure to be on 4.4.4 283 build before u flash the ROM or flash stripped kernel after flashing the ROM.

- Flash the SuperSu fix by Rajeev[http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip] and XZDualRecovery after installing the ROM.

- If u upload any mirrors, do PM me i will add it in OP..

- Before using anything from my ROM, please PM me and ask me for permission.. "

So do I need to flash supersu fix and dual recovery again after installing this rom? and do this rom contain xpeosed? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Yes u need to flash the Supersu fix on all Stock based ROMs(4.4.4) and also recovery in this ROM.. And Xposed isn't included, you are free to use it in the ROM.. :)

And guys, V2 will have big improvements.. Already added a lot of stuff to make Stock experience much more smoother and better.. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Yes. Flash both. According to OP..

No xposed preinstalled.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Lol.. I think we both replied @ the same time my friend.. :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] satvikvg:
Hi [MENTION=248222]tornado[/MENTION]™ how do you say that this rom has "64mb extra gpu cahe 64mb extra gpu ram"...?

where can we see that OR do we have any app to check our gpu cache and gpu ram..?

:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
The rom uses graphics caching which adds and extra 64mb of graphics cache because thats whats been set

The rom also uses a script which creates and img and mounts it as a part of the graphcs ram, sometimes this does fail but it doesnt make a huge difference performance but stability it does

I should know, i made some of the tweaks/mods for this rom ;D

Btw there is no app i know off, best indication is seeing that about 58 mb extra cache space is being used when gaming
[Xperia Z Android Development] satvikvg:
Thanks a lot brother ￼

Hi bro i think Facebook integration is missing in this rom..

How can I get it..?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
you will have to ask [MENTION=4921331]tOrNadO™[/MENTION] i dont actualy do much for this rom aside the performance tweaks/mods
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Many people consider it as bloatware or non useful app.. So i have removed it considering the majority's needs.. I will add those files in the next version so only ones who don't need em can remove em manually.. I am still working on some more stuff for the next version to give more features and better stock feeling..

And guys, if you want any other features(Apart from z3 ports and mods) , you can post here and i will put it in the next version..
[Xperia Z Android Development] satvikvg:
Well thank you bro.. I grabbed some Facebook integration apks from other room and moved to system priv-app and solved my problem [emoji6]

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Thanks a lot bro..

I really like your rom because more than theaming you prefer background tweeting for performance that really boosts performance without any lag..

I would suggest u to add StereoMOD™ in your rom..

And can I know where can I find the script which adds 64mb extra gpu cache/ram in your rom..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
Its part of core android and editing it will cause damage

Part of the script is in the build.props
[Xperia Z Android Development] rsimas:
The rom is great very fast but i cant sync my contacts with google acount because in the option to sync google acount dont have the contacts to check. Can anyone help me?

[MENTION=4921331]tOrNadO™[/MENTION] I'm facing hell like wifi drops.. Every 10 to 15 seconds wifi is dropping please help me out..

I am almost unable to use the Internet it's really killing me... [emoji15] [emoji24]

Please anyone help me..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
Seems to be a odd miss issue that shows up on all 4.4.4 xperias

Run a fix permissions script, it often fixes it
[Xperia Z Android Development] satvikvg:
Thanks a lot bro.. Can you link me to the script..?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
I dont actualy have a good one avaliable but older cwm versions should have it under the advance menu

Same with all versions of TWRP

Try googling some
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Strange that i have no such issues here except Wifi keeps getting disabled often like in 4.4.2 but probably those bugs exist coz we root after flashing 4.4.2 kernel on a 4.4.4 and then flashing back 4.4.4 kernel wont just fix it.. I will find a solution for it soon..
[Xperia Z Android Development] bern4d1:
I don't have wifi issue. I use wifi almost 18 hous a day.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
As said its likely to be a policy bug

Try running a fix permissions script

Ill try to make some as soon as i can
[Xperia Z Android Development] satvikvg:
found the script and i did run but wifi issues still remain the same...

you guys found any solution for this..

hope that it will be solved in android 5.0 lollypop update by sony..

:) ;) :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ChristO1624:

You have the WiFi drops and disconnects on stock ROMs too? I thought I'm the only one here..... :(

TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Ultimate PureXZ Ultra!
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Well it happens coz we use the only method available to root 4.4.4, i.e flashing 4.4.2 kernel on 4.4.4 is the only culprit right now.. :confused: See Stock 4.4.4 non rooted, it doesn't have any issues..
[Xperia Z Android Development] androidfreak70:
I don't think it's about kernels related. Or your ROMs related Because I'm using prerooted stock based ROM (Ultimate PureXZ Ultra)

And facing annoying WiFi drops if I get little away from the router (10 meters) .

It's on every stock and stock based ROMs I flashed for now. No problem with WiFi on AOSP ROMs like DU or PA or PAC Man... Just hope it's fixed when 5.0 release....

[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Wifi has always been problematic on the Z. Stock, cm, AOSP based - no difference in my experience.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Its not fw related, Wifi blobs are always in a Kernel aka Stock in this case..

Totally agree wit u.. But CM/AOSP based ROMs will have custom drivers, hence if coded well, i think there won't be any of these problems..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
Stock xperia roms are cyanogenmod based, they always take bits of info from the cm

Its not new but its been more common now then ever :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
They are not cm based.

They both use code from CAF, thats why f.e. the wifi drivers are the same on stock and cm.

Fair enough, i stand corrected.

[Xperia Z Android Development] FotoMichi:

[Xperia Z Android Development] rsimas:
Kernel its includede and recovery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Yes and yes but you need to flash the superSU fix in recovery in order to have root access
[Xperia Z Android Development] aikzen:
Requesting mirrors, please.. please.. ohhh pleassee

Can someone please share a mirror? I was really excited when I saw this update.. I loved and am still using the v1 of this rom.. REALLY DYING TO USE THIS ROM!! but i'm unable to download from google drive, tried many times and at different times and it says "There were too many recent requests; please wait a while and try again"...
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Thanks for your kind response and i welcome any mirrors.. Just PM me.. I will add it to OP.. I wish i had a better internet connection to upload.. This one took like almost 10hrs to upload.. :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Kernel is not included coz it will brick some generic devices.. So better to flash your own choice of kernel.. ;) Yes, Supersu fix has to flashed on all Stock based ROMs from KK..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Oh but I flashed the rom and i didnt have problems with the kernel

[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
I use Google camera it works but the stock camera dont work
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
stock camera doesnt work? Elaborate because the testers had no problem, the creator did a couple times but not any more

Did you folow install instructions, misfolowing the instructions may lead to things not working
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Are u using any Xposed module to prevent Gapps wakelocks?

From ur pic, i can see ur thumbnails aren't showing up. Go to sdcard/DCIM/thumbnails. Delete the thumbnails folder and open ur album again.. It will load.. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Didnt work for me
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Try Clearing Cache once and also Clear Data of Album app.. And see if u have updated ur Album.. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Nothing the problem continue :(

With other gallery this dont happen
[Xperia Z Android Development] haynesteve:
I have no issues with album at all. I do see from your screen shot that you have a modified nav bar, are you sure it's not a mod you're using?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Its a theme (material by niaboc) i solve the problem deleting from priv.app and installing through update center
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Its because u have flashed it over a 4.4.4 rom. So u hav 4.4.4 kernel already included...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Yeah but i did a full clean of the previos rom well now its all good thanks to the dev and all of you ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
It does not matter. If u full wipe means also stock kernel from previous 4.4.4 rom is still there. It will only replace if u flash a 4.4.2 or 4.3 stock ftf
[Xperia Z Android Development] Guihardrock:
Ahhhhhhh oh thank you i didnt know it :) now lets stop this OT :3
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Guys, please read and get knowledge about all this stuff before rooting so u wouldn't face issues like this while u r switching from one rom to another.. And in this thread, so far i have found 0 feedbacks or reviews on how the rom is or how it should/could be.. I can see even Senior members who have posted a lot of questions only.. All i see is complaints that something or the other isnt working while it is with others.. So i request u guys to READ and READ a lot before trying out any ROM for that matter.. As devs. we would love to see some honest feedbacks so that we would know what to do with the next versions of the rom..
[Xperia Z Android Development] sontran_vietnam:
The Rom is great, thaks u for made it. I really like it ^^
[Xperia Z Android Development] piyush95:
Best "Near to stock" rom!!

Performance is better than stock of course...^_^

[Xperia Z Android Development] gonzal86:
Rom looks great :D but i have small problem, when im flash v2 and run phone. Phone its work fine but sometimes i get "vibration" one time, two times. in working rom. For a while sec its ok, and suddenly vibration on again.

im used kernel "[Stock Kernel 4.2/4.3/4.4] XzKernel-26"

Any reason or how to fix problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Diatomix98:
Download system app remover from playstore and delete crashmonitor then reboot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gonzal86:

But your answer im keep for the future :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] S3R6PH:
Hello,

nice ROM, but i still missing something.

Exactly the Camera widget is missing for me.

And if i change the theme for another SONY stock theme(4 example Rocky, or Wood downl. 4 play store) the home screen will be a lil bit lagy.

Any solution 4 this?

THX for supporting this Great ROM!!! :victory:
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
Camera widget works for me here.. And about Home, Its not lag, some themes are heavy and it includes a lot of assets/images which take a few more seconds than normal to completely change the theme.. Thats normal.. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] md07:
I flash V2, after enter home, force close sometime.
[Xperia Z Android Development] S3R6PH:
Can me link a picture where can i find the Camera Widget,because under usually widgets is not there.

Or the app for the widget, or something.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
I will add missing widgets in a small zip.. U can push and set perms.. Sorry for the inconvinience.. :)

Did u make a fresh install? Try clearing data of Home once if u haven't .. and see..

And guys, please use discussion thread for your queries or help..
[Xperia Z Android Development] ChristO1624:

Installed Tornado v2 this morning after I got annoyed by my previous, very sluggish rom.

This one is running very smooth, great work. Had a few com.google.process.gapps errors, but everything else seems to be fine after a couple of hours.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] tOrNadO™:
I can see multiple users reporting it, but me, nor my testers never had such an issue.. Also please do provide logcat along with ur complaints next time, so i can find the source of your problem... ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Envious_Data:
Sometimes files can corrupt when downloading or when transfering via usb

The files are still usable but its just breaks things

Also this rom doesnt fully flash properly via twrp

I recomend flashing via CWM or philz

~just some info about this rom for ya guys

Edit- corrected info
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
This rom can easily flash without any problems with Philz Touch. Flashed in my friend's XZ without any problems using Philz Touch..
