[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION] You build both Validus and AICP, don;t you? Or you just help them who made those ROM to release?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
Like other roms with cm recovery man...just flash twrp onto fota partition or else fastboot flash a kk kernel (cm11 or whatever) make the wipes and flash what u have to flash from there...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
I was busy as hell, will sync aicp sources soon...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
So you build both AICP and Validus at the same time? Can you give me some comparisons between them?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Never-the-less buddy, Validus 7 is amazing ROM and exactly fits superbly.

Flashed via Androplus TWRP dual boot img, after wiping, flashing zip and Gapps, rebooted and its cool. No problems as such and is now my daily driver :D

Keep up the builds bro.

[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION]

Flashed LP and it works like nevva before. [emoji3]

Some issues doh.

1. Battery drain

2. Need the possibility to customize power menu.

3. How about adding OTA for this ROM?? [emoji2] [emoji2]

Again, I find this the best rom for sirius atm. [emoji4] [emoji4]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adyscorpius:
Is the calling lag existent here?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Whats draining it? Can you check with wakelock blocker?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
As Reborn said at least try to track wich app/process is making wakelock and avoiding cpu to get into deep sleep.

Try another clean flash+different gapps pack.

Providing OTA updates is not an easy thing bro, first of all u need working twrp and btw...using server cost me money, so its planned but gimme some time...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Just that it drained really fast when it was on. When screen is on, it drains fast as he*k

Added photo of CPU Spy

Else i understand that its expensive for OTA, but i hope you will get it. [emoji4]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Well apparently you're entering deep sleep which is good. So you have to have an app that's sucking you dry... There is an app called wakelock detector. Install it and see what it can be...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Bah... No camera... ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
are u serious? camera not working!?!?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Yup... Camera not working ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Cam is working fine

Everything is working smoothly other then the specified malfunctions as seen in CM12.

Look is awesome.

I have attached the screen shot of the cam
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rpk12:
Does the shutter key opens camera?is Loud speakers is working during ongoing call?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
No, shutter does not open cam
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
I am sorry. Must have done something wrong the first install. It's working like a charm indeed!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
wow u scared me...lolz

nice then....will make another build in cuple of dayz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Yo buddy relax :D We shall wait for your next update.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
You take suggestions what to add?? [emoji1] [emoji1]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
depends wich kind...don't ask for split screen functions cuz its gonna be a big NO lolz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Calling is a bit of. Nobody can call me but I can call everyone. Is somebody else experiencing this?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
- Radio

- Move high touch sens to display settings

- Fix reboot issue, phone won't reboot from power menu

- Doubble tap to wake gets untucked after reboot (still works doh)

- Add a "are you shure you will shut down" in power menu.

- Fix it so its possible to use only PIE, and disable nav-bar

- Add face recognition in screen security

That's what I can recall now, will add more if I find. [emoji41] [emoji41]

PS: battery drain seems to be just from 100 to 80, then it slows down to normal. Odd doh... [emoji53]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
Well u asking a lot lolz and im not sure evrything is already created, i will see...

and about bettery just make a battery calibration, cuz i see lot of people saying "hell my batterydrains fast blabla" BUT something they forgot is...thru flashed, batterystats.bin could be altered, wich could f*ck battery statistics indeed. So battery drains super fast, and then stays for an hour to 1% with everything on before shutdown...know what i mean?...

a simple app is available on playstore, also u can take WLD wakelock detector then to trac apps/processes wich are s*cking battery's juice.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Well, it seems just to be the first 20% ish that's gone in a hour.

How do I calibrate it?? [emoji3] [emoji3]

Sendt from my Z2 using Tapatalk on Validus ROM
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
told u.....just an app is enough

battery calibration on the store, this will wipe that folder with stats ...u empty device to shutdown, u charge it to 100% once its [MENTION=1412615]100%[/MENTION] u press the calibration button, then u empty it to shutdown and charge it "offline" (so u leave it off) and charge it overnight 6/7/8 hours like that....this kinda charge i do this twice a month
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Will do.

Only thing is that TWRP does not show me how much my phone is charged... Just a black screen. [emoji53]

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MattJaO3D:
hi would like to try this rom, a change from stock, does it contain the new theme chooser ?

thanks in advance
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
"New theme chooser" could we know what u talking about? if u talk about cm12 theme engine...then yes its on it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Is there any way to fix that I cannot see battery status when charging "offline"?

When I plug the charger, the phone boots, but just to a black screen. When unplugged the phone continue boot to OS, but the boot is laggy and takes 4-5 times longer to finish.

I spoke with some devs at twrp, but they say it it's a problem with the ROM - http://prntscr.com/5yqlio

Hope you can explain this to me and maybe fix it if its in your power :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MattJaO3D:
thats what i meant,, thanks for response,sorry for bad lingo
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Battery

I have been using this ROM since the day 7 was posted. Didnt have any problem as spoken above.

I used TWRP that came with Androplus v20 kernel and wiped all the partitions + FORMAT from CM12 recovery after installing the .zip

Then I flashed GApps and rebooted. EVerything is working except for the known problems.

Battery life is fine, depends on how you use your mobile :P :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] behelit:
please add what isn't working to OP, no one cbf reading the entire thread to see if this rom still contains camera/recovery problems
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] benjmiester:
If you happen to get around to it.... I would love to have an option to map screenshot to long press of any nav bar key. I have to take them often for my job and key combo is a little awkward for me with all keys on right.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
are u having this problem with included recovery? im not sure i can fix it anyways!

recovery problems are for all devices, and u still can use search in thread button...

we working on navbar settings, will see if it could be done.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Yes I have this issue with included too. Only that included boots to OS, no black screen. (and laggy boot)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
well okayz, will see what i can do
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahmed534:
can we get tosk lollipop UI with this ROM rather than black one plz ?

thks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
USe the free themes or make your own theme!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
no sorry, validus is blacked and gonna stays black...some strings are not theme-able yet but being worked on.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MattJaO3D:
really smooth ROM, works great , (y)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
HEY GUYS i am looking for a new phone and i think the z2 was the best idea at the moment. the first when i have it i will flash any rom. so before i flash this one i have some question .

the first question can anybody list me the WORKING things and the NOT WORKING things.

the second question what does mean the recovery is broken ?

the third question is the call issue now fixed or not ?

thanky everybody for help

peace your VINBENZIN
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Camera button not working

Some issues with notification light

Call is not a big problem, just some lag from calling until it it actually calls

USB-OTG

Else read my post a bit up.

PS, backup your TA before you unlock the phone. ;)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
included recovery in boot.img is from CyanogenMod, wich is not flashing anything, THIS is applicable for all devices not only z2

simply flash twrp onto fota partition, it will survive roms flashing.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
Included recovery is working fine after wipe-media! no issues at all.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Battery problem fixed, thanks a lot for the tip, lesson learned. :D

Sendt from my Z2 using Tapatalk on Validus ROM
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
Nice!

sometimes it also depends gapps pack as some are not "that good" or still a wip and u gonna get gplay services keeping cpu active...thats why wakelock detector is useful in such case..to track apps*processes keeping it awake
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
So you can turn off phone and charge it without it turns on? And you get battery status??

Try flash TWRP, and see if that works too. If so I will wipe mine again and try again...

(BTW, how do I wipe it ex. from recovery??)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sheharyarahmed1:
Hey, thanks for the ROM. I noticed that themes download successfully but do not install, any specific reason or a bug?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
yes, because validus is blacked out, frameworks is modified and themes not getting fully applied, its being working on i guess...to let theme fully apply but it gonna take time...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
BTW new build is up

Could someone confirm that the rom is working on multirom please? thanks.

thank you... =)

BTW guyz i opened a new rom thread ;) Candy5
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Haldi4803:
MultiROM not working for me! i do have 4.4.4 Base with AndroPlus Kernel v21.

I'm stuck on the BootLogo. The wolf is flashing but nothing is happening for over 10 minutes. ( i even downloaded the file twice and installed it 3 times.)

Which is somewhat strange as i do have working PA, PAC and Candy ROM....

Anyone else?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
if im not mistaken, with a KK rom, the LP rom has to be primary rom....but needs to be confirmed
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Will flash ASAP and report back. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
I flashed Validus via TWRP multirom M5 script. Then flashed Stock Envious Rom and it worked.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
That look on my face when charging offline worked. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Else I haven't had time to find bugs yet, but I had to reinstall Gapps after flashing the update.

Keep up the good work man. :good::good::good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
Yeah, we still not have merged gapps persistance function...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Haldi4803:
In Lolipop version :) so thats definitly not the Problem here.

Anyone else here with 4.4.4 First ROM and Multirom?

As it does seem to work with a Lolipop first rom.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bluheart:
I am not on full time, I just tested and found it to be booting fine.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.4 multirom. Flashed Validus and then flashed Stock 4.4.4(envious) and it was booting fine.

I am on Validus only now.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Unverified :D

Sendt from my Z2 using Tapatalk on Validus ROM
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
why unverified?? its weird...

and its a shame from sony that the Z3 doesn't make higher benches with 200mhz more on cpu

btw my tester on Z3 has almost 45k on stock rom, then on validus 42656...thats really odd that i can't build the whole rom on sabermod toolchain...basically on LP with this toolchain, roms won't boot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
Havent got a clue why..

Annyways, here is a lit of not working, will update it as i find bugs/stuff that's not present. :D

Calling lag (from pressing "call" until it does is laggy)

Camera button does not open camera

Not possible to customize lockscreen

No USB-OTG (CM issue??)

Sometimes pressing "recents" does not work.

Sometimes I have to press "home" twice to get "home"
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
2nd and 4th and prolly 1st (not sure...i have to dig into it) also are cm issues

3 is a feature wich will be re implemented...been took off for some reason

The last 2 are being working on, framework issue.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] apwchan:
Just to add another. Bluetooth pairs, connects but sometimes no sound, where a reboot is required. Any temp fix to this issue?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adyscorpius:
Did you test loudspeaker in calls? and mic recording in Whatsapp, videos or other apps?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:

Else just tried filming and mic works

Will try speaker next time I call. :)

Sendt from my Z2 using Tapatalk on Validus ROM
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
I think the low sound or record Volumen are cm bug since a lot of time. If you unlock your bootloader you lose sound and camera quality
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adyscorpius:
This has nothing to do with unlocked bootloader.. That is a different issue and affects both stock and AOSP roms..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bjorn96:
OK, have no experience with multirom.

Isn't it possible to backup?? Then you just flash Validus and use it as primary for a while.

But atm Validus does NOT work in MultiRom if you have a stock sony 4.4.4 as main!

Simply create a backup (make sure to compress, same duration half file size) and flash as main rom.

Still waiting for ze update so i can do a clean. :)

I could also make a post for bugs to be fixed if you want. :D

And stuff I (rest of XDA) want... :D

Volume keys does not zoom, they take a photo

Reboot does not work more than once, the first time is working, after that, no more.

Speaker does still not work...

Else I have found it really stable and "un-buggy" :o
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
Well for these bugz...nothing that i can do for now sorry. :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] waynekirby:
Well... I can't seem to get the latest build to boot using MultiRom. I'm using PA 5.0 as primary and I'm getting bootloop, I've tried flashing w/ and w/o M5-Kernel, w/ and w/o gapps and tried alternate gapps (that work on all other LP Roms). Might have to use it as primary instead! [emoji14]

As always Alex, thank you for your hard work mate!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] apwchan:
Has anyone tried using the rom with M5 kernel? clean flash 2 times with M5 Kernel keeps giving SystemUi has crashed problems? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:
no prob ;)

u have to use at leat my kernel as primary, only fastboot flash my kernel on top of your primary u should be fine (apparently i have a commit lzma related wich could be missing on your actual rom)

u should be fine or else yeah flash it as primary u wont get issues anymore
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Alx31:

Yes Alex, twice
