Or do i need another kernel for this.

No prob, and as i'm using it to build z1/z2/z3 variants i will keep my side updated with Myslef5 sources ;)

can u add another links to the gapps or what gapps would u recommend? thnks

Any Gapps will do. Google for PA GAPPS or Slim GAPPS
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NiM72NiK:
i hae problem with the pa gapps! the recovery gives a failure every time :( what to do
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] abbychauhan:
Then Change recovery and Flash.. Now don't ask How.. look for it
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NiM72NiK:
It wont flash. Dont know why.

I have an other question if you don't get angry. Since i updated to version 19.2.2015 some apps don't get installed and says app not installed when i press the install..as i know its a kernel related problem.the are too much great apps that cant be installed now. How to fix it my friend?!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Drockk_Xm:
The rom is Awesome :D

can we get cm stock light theme in next build?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Alx31:
idk what u talking about. with no logs, no bug. Did u clean flashed it?

this is not gonna happen, this is why Validus is different, stock blacked out.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NiM72NiK:
Yes my friend.i had the same problem on my galaxy s2 and xperia neo using some kernels.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Alx31:
i don't understand how u can say its kernel related since u have no logs, 1st of all, and second of all why it couldn't be app related if its the same on another device? did u test on regular cm12 ? is u have same issue there on cm12, then its clearly app related and discussion is useless...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NiM72NiK:
this maybe spam on this thread,but you are right i have no logs to prove its a kernel related problem but i know it by some reasons.first the same app was installed on the last version of rom (15.2.2015) but it wont install on this version ( shows these app are not broken such as traffic racer,sheep happens,plazza market,prince of persia shadows and flames that are known games without any issues) second,i had the same problem on my xperia neo(more than Galaxy SII) when i was on cm11 , i had to change the kernel,install the app and reflash the desired kernel 'cause the kernel had problem with the apps which shows its not rom problem and somehow kernel related.

I dont say that the kernel has a problem at all, its a conflict between the app and kernel( i think as i experienced),and i'm not saying WHY i'm having this problem. i just absolutely love your rom more than other lollipop like roms and its really smooth with great features. i just asked for a solution for my problem.i just wanted to experience this great rom flawlessly..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] abbychauhan:
That's useless.. App and Kernel Conflict???? What Error msg ur getting when installing an App
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NiM72NiK:
App not installed.

Im saying that because when i change the kernel it fixes :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] abbychauhan:
App not Installed, Insufficient memory? That Error

changelog in "about phone menu" as usually

if phone app crashes on calls just lemme know i will make a new build tomorrow
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jenova941:
Really amazing ROM, Validus has come a long way since I first tried it a couple of months ago. Phone app hasn't crashed so far. Have experienced a random reboot, but haven't been able to replicate it, so it's all good. No touch issues so far either.

However, a few gripes still remain:

1. Charging is as slow as molasses.

2. For some reason, the Recents button doesn't respond within the Settings app. Works fine everywhere else.

Would be great if you could introduce a more flexible navbar customization panel in the ROM, the one in Candy5 would be just great. This one's a bit clunky.

Thanks, and keep up the great work. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MickieH:
Thanks for this great ROM!

Big thanks [MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION]

Flashed this rom last night, with the TBO black gapps pack, and it's been great.

I like to try different roms, see what they're like. I had been running SlimLP but seems they're having some issues at the moment. I always loved the black theme on my older phones, and hated it when they changed to white, so this rom is excellent.

Can't say I've had any real issues running it so far, the dialer has been fine, no crashing, although the actual installer did FC just after opting in to Google Now. Still went ok though. I'm so glad to see the camera is working faultlessly in this rom. No freezing, and I use my camera a lot, so excellent work there.

I am investigating a deep sleep issue I came across. It stopped wanting to go into deep sleep this morning, and wakelock detector didn't seem to indicate any one app, so I clean reflashed the rom again, and the same Gapps package, and I haven't rebooted, and it's going into deep sleep again now. I'll see what happens over the next few days. I don't know what was causing it, but it would sit at 268mhz all the time when it was idle. If I find anything out, I'll post it.

Brilliant work, I love it. Looking forward to more builds. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tomascus:
can you grab a catlog while it's installing to see the issue? it's useless guessing what's wrong
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MickieH:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I'd just like to ask - audio recording levels seem really quite low. I've experienced this on both Lollipop roms I've tried so far. Playing back recorded video at highest volume, you can hardly hear anything. Seems to be the same across various apps too, such as when sending voice messages via WhatsApp and similar.

On the Google launcher, you have to virtually shout at it for it to hear you. I know it's not my phone as it was working perfectly on the Sony stock 4.4.4.

Is it like this for everyone?

Oh, and just like to add, no further deep sleep issues, even after reboot, so all is good there.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Shro:
https://youtu.be/GnoNVVHIfVE

Viper4android should solve your issue. Don't forget to set SELinux to Permissive first.

I never had any issues with my mic gain but this did make everything much louder. I used high audio quality not super as battery drain seemed quite high.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MickieH:
So that will boost the sound, which will help - thanks for that, I'll give that a go :good:

The mic gain seems very low, and was when I was running SlimLP too. Shouting OK Google in the street is going to turn a few heads :laugh::laugh:

I had a problem today too. The phone went dead and turned itself off. I then couldn't turn it back on, even when connected to the charger. When it shows the battery animation, that goes off, but the screen backlight stays on.

I had to power off, plug into the mains, press vol down when the purple light came on, and it sat on the M5 Kernel boot screen for about 15 minutes, with the amber charging light. I then held power and vol up till it vibrated 3 times. Had to do that twice. After that it booted again, and I was able to charge it normally. Bit scary there for a moment. Thought I was going to have to fastboot another kernel that allows charging when dead.

Any ideas on that?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fantamadnesss:
[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION] Thanks for the latest build, does it still have that custom kernel?

Q&A/T Thread for your ROM

Hi Alx31TLse,

are you interested in a Q&A/T Thread for your ROM in which non-development issues are posted instead of in your Development thread itself? I'm able to create one for you as I'm a member of the Q&A/T Thread template team, see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2474979. I can make it for you, if you're interested, and hand it over to you to maintain it yourself. If you do not have the time to maintain it, I will do it for you. Please let me know by PM if you're interested or not. I know that you have a Q&A thread by QA Bot, but that's not personalat all and thus not inviting to react on.

So, validus 8.0 is 5.1.1? I just didn't see any sources for 5.1.1 on team-validus github. Not even android manifest. So, you are using everything cm12.1 except for devices and kernel? Do you know they have already put google analytics and cmstats in 5.1.1?

For some reason there is a difference in the quality of the pictures taken with lb vs ub.. Be aware of that before unlocking

Edit: if you search on Google you can see that sony states that with unlocking you lose the drm keys and thereby the algorithms etc.. So no image processing :)

How can I tell if my bootloader is already unlocked?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
1) Go to your phone dialer.

2) Type *#*#7378423#*#*

3) Tap Service info, and then tap Configuration.

4) Look to the Rooting status section. It will display one of three bootloader statuses.

Bootloader status 1) Bootloader unlock allowed: No (this means you can't unlock your bootloader at all, don't ask if there is any way you can cause there isn't.)

Bootloader status 2) Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes (this means you can unlock your bootloader, remember to take TA backups and make multiple TA backups in case anything happens to your hard drive.)

Bootloader status 3) Bootloader unlock: Yes (this means your bootloader is unlocked, I hope you made them TA backups.)
