no need to mention me in my own thread lolz

no sorry, we won't do that, but heh, its easy to extract it and paste it in your new rom by pushing it with rw r r permissions in /system/priv-app
[Sony Xperia ZL] Govind61:
Hahaha ur funny Alx31 and thanks a lot for this rom
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
Hi guys !

There is a bad problem with the overclock. Please, don't do it. When i shoot a video, the phone bricks itself and i have to dissasemble it. Sometimes it does it randomly. These 200mhz do nothing useful. Like half fps on antutu. It just makes the phone useless. What annoys me is that, even if I set it to 1512mhz, it just turns it up again after a few minutes. Settings don't stick. And even at stock frequency, it still crashes sometimes. I dunno what is wrong with this kernel but it's very unstable. Great rom, but unstable. It is perfect though. It has everything except one useful feature:

You know how in tesla rom you have the option to use the camera focus button to light up the screen and when you realease it, it shuts it down. This peak preview is very useful for checking the time. Sadly, xposed additions doesent seem to work.

Other than the stability problems, the battery life is insane, especially with the saver on. Before I travel to germany, i forgot to charge it and in the morning it was on 26%. 8hrs with the bus and then 2hr flight while listening to music- when i arrived i had 15% left:good:

PS: I am currently in Leipzig, Germany. As you know, there are some serious copyright things'n sh*t going on. Is it legal to download your roms from here ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Ok look if u clean flash the rom, u downclock it to stock values with in built kernel adiutor, u won't get any problems.

Nobody said its stable to overclock!!! U need to higher voltage a bit when u OC by the way :/

And about xposed...don't come over here to complain about it, its xposed related; not rom.

Everybody knows that xposed always created unwanted bugs...

And finally, tesla for odin is not ready yet to be released, thats the reason why there's no thread yet.

Sent from mah Z3
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
Still the same thing. And the only settings i can access are the governor and some profiles. If I use kernel tuner, pimp my rom or aero controls, it resets sooner or later. Please, leave OC an option, but don't overclock it by default. There is no real gain. It only makes battery life much worse without even noticable performance gain.

About xposed- I am not complaining, i am just saying that the module is not working as I wanted. I was talking about getting that feature in lollipop. The peak preview thingy.

PS: I really think that you should go back and finish the Tesla 4.4.4 rom. It is amazing, but laggy and buggy. Some useless things can be removed and optimized. I hope Tesla for LP will be just as insane !

And thanks once again for the great roms !

PS2: Any idea if it is legal to download your roms in germany ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ham5:
I think you should know and be responsible to know your own country's laws and regulations for downloading. He is providing these things for download so why would Germany have a problem with it?

Whats the big deal about Tesla ? I tried it once just for a bit and it just did not have all the functionality Validus has..
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
:confused: Why not? Of course it's legal! One of the weirdest questions ever on xda...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
U can t compare cm based validus and tesla wich is slim/aosp based....totally different stuff

As validus has cm theme engine and tesla as slim has rro layers support...

Problems flashing ROM

I flashed the boot.img file, and can enter into CyanogenMOD recovery. But, when I try to flash my ROM (clicking on update now), I can't navigate my SD card to get to the .ZIP, and it just gives me an installation failed error. What am I doing wrong?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ham5:
what your doing wrong is using the CM recovery - temporary flash another boot.img with a working recovery like TWRP, install Validus and then re-flash the Validus boot.img. or look up how to flash TWRP to your OTA partition, go back a few pages and read this thread over it's talked about before.

theming is the major difference here? I am a little surprised!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
i didn't say theme was the major diff, i said one is CM the other not.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Krllo:
Can't install.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Your TWRP tells you the reason why. Just read! Odin ROM on yuga won't work!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
SMH :eek:

thank god this security works lol, else that yuga can go to garbages...
[Sony Xperia ZL] TechExhibeo:
Buddy can you fit in your father's pants?

Answer must be a big NO lol

Just like it you cannot install any other devices ROM in your yuga.

Flash the correct zip ;)

-TechExhibeo
[Sony Xperia ZL] Krllo:
Hey dude. I don't have my father anymore...I can wear my pants by myself and if it's dirty, I clean your face with this.

And plus my phone is Odin. C6503 Xperia ZL, Xperia ZQ(in Brasil)

And I bet I know more about android than you do and much more that you realize.

I dunno why it been recognized as yuga.

It's probably some problem with the ROM and how it's made. I have installed all versions, just the last one did happen that.

Yuga isn't sold in Brasil. I'm Brazilian and have not imported this from Asia.

Than, I'm pretty sure it's Odin. Like 200% certain

Tks
[Sony Xperia ZL] Krllo:
Odin for Brasil is a variation of Z (that isn't sold in brasil),same hardware, same everything with a difference of the frontal camera place and 4g. Nothing more. for working 4g in brasil they made this model, like C6502 and c6506 for other regions. when I remove the file that contain this instruction, my phone isn't recognized by any brand. Also, I've installed MIUI for Z and works in ZL; I've installed ExistenZ for Z and works in ZL.

You should take away this "security limitation". Any brick that should happen is our responsibility anyway.

Don't make sense this "security".
[Sony Xperia ZL] ninguem98:
Xperia ZL

The Xperia ZL, in brasil, is called Xperia ZQ, more specifically the c6503 variation. Its body is smaller, but it still having a 5 inch display. The device mantain the hardware, however, it is a different device, so there's some differences, not ''nothing more'' related to 4g and frontal camera place
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
When is a new update coming ?

Validus is pretty much the best ROM for XZL, but it is unusable. It is soo f*cking unstable. Fresh install, open the camera app and it dies. The overclock is really useless. Just don't add it. It overclocks itself to 1728 by default and settings dont stick no matter how you set the fequency.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ham5:
not trying to play battlefield 4 on it... It's a phone why would you even 'overclock' it.. I use open camera and have over 500 hours uptime it seems pretty damn stable to me..

I'm curious if this picture text hack has been patched for us? http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/27/technology/android-text-hack/index.html
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
That's what I am saying. It overclocks itself. He has set it to overclock by default and the settings don't stick when I bring it to stock. It is a phone, overclocking is just useless. No performance gain at all. Only problems. And I have a feeling that it has degraded my CPU, because it started crashing even on the first boot after install.

Thank you once again for the work you have put in all these roms !
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
wait for next build thats it. im in vacations and not always at home, this will be surely fixed on next build.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia ZL] ham5:
I was having this problem recently where it would not connect to wifi automatically saying; "no internet access detected, won't automatically reconnect." I found google links with other users with same problem. What I had to do was rm networkHistory.txt in the /data/misc/wifi dir to fix the problem. Watch for any patches solving this problem thanks ;)

also kernel auditor will set CPU clock at 1512 after boot. I did not Even know we were running an overclock. at least this way its not at the 1728 for long
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
I have spotted a new problem. I managed to keep the freq, at 1512. Somehow Kernel Auditor worked this time, but something other happens. Fresh rom, no apps except FB and Chrome Dev. I try to shoot a video with the camera. It records and when I stop it, the app crashes with "could not connect to camera". The video is there, but damaged. Other camera apps just crash when switching to video mode.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Govind61:
All we can do is be patient and wait until new build comes by him
[Sony Xperia ZL] ham5:
Does not look good fellas :~(
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
I really really hope at least he fixes Validus.

It is the best ROM for XZL, but these two problems make it almost unusable.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
i will indeed make final stable builds...but then im really sorry but don't expect much from me, i wanna focus on my own devices...i hope u guyz understand
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
No problems. We understand you. These are old phones and you need to focus on the new sh*t. Just make this rom stable and working. It will be perfect. Thank you for everything so far ! This is a lot of work and time you spent for us, noobs. Thank you !
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
Sorry for asking, but when is the update probably coming ?

Cheers !
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
will do maybe tomorrow im quite busy with my own kernel sorry
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
Hi.

You forgot to mention which tomorrow :D

I know I am getting a bit annoying, but i have forgotten what its like to have a reliable phone. So, yeah :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
lolol sorry i didn't forgot, kid was sick now me and busy as f#ck.

im doing tesla for odin tomorrow at same time as my device, i did tab z and zr yesterday and today...z3 and zl tomorrow, i didn't forget don't worry.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Here is final stable Tesla build.

Tesla-odin-5.1.1.Arc_Flash.2.3-MR1-20150924.zip

Validus to come later this week with my other devices.

Changelog under about phone menu, its straight from cm stuff, means u will have exactly same bugs from Cm12.1 if there are...

Enjoy
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
Whoa **** dude, Tesla is so friggin' snappy and quick !

Damn...

Thanks !

I love it !

Only downside so far is that there is no "sound" menu thingy in kernel auditor. It was pretty much the reason why I kept using Validus 8 no matter how unstable it was. Is there any way to tweak it again ?

Or at least boost the headphone output. I haven't tested it yet though.

This ROM rocks, damn it !

Thank you !!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Govind61:
Battery drains too fast but in this tesla built anyone with same problem or its just me
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Those were kernel tweaks...and im inline with cm, i have no time to work on fusion3 (z zr zl tabz) kernel...so try to find some audio tweak from viper or something else...

on a clean install without xposed sh#ts ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Govind61:
I have done clean install without exposed
[Sony Xperia ZL] Simeon Petkov:
It is really draining a bit fast and I can tell you why- there is no underclocking option and all 4 cores stay on all the time. The kernel does not seem to turn them off. Just stays at 384mhz. I hope Validus will have it.

Tesla is awesome though. It needs the audio tweak, underclocking and "multicore power saving". If this happens it will indeed be the perfect ROM. It has everything !

Thank you once again!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Sorry, without the device, there's nothing i can improve from cyanogenmod and since im inline with official stuff, that means official cm12.1 has same bug from kernel...

Thank you guyz for your great support but i must close this thread, i hope some other ZL owner can make some development for you guyz, i will help him if needed.

Lot of great tutorials here at XDA, wich btw i followed to do what i do!

Cheerz.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
Watched screens in yuga thread, they are dark. This rom has a white version or stay on white candyrom is better?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
there's no white validus, that was first screens at beginning when dark settings wasn't all done, will make new ones.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Arkin Hgarod:
OK, I will stay on candyrom, hope it'll remains white forever.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
It's running great so far! I love the black style.

FauxSound says "kernel not supported"! But FauxClock running without issues.

Validus will replace Candy5 as my daily driver for now...

You know what I think about you and your work, bro! lol
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Thx ^^

Abt faux sounds...will see whats wrong

And abt white/black settings...we finally don't give a swell as theme engine coming soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
How the dark UI compare with Candy dark?
[Sony Xperia ZL] keenofhiphop:
Hello guys,

after a long time I will flash the ZL again (I sold it to my mother) and she is asking if in every Systemactivity there is an evil clown as background? Like in the settings-app?

As I saw on the screenshots, it is not supposed to, but those are older than the one from Al showing ViperFX (?) with this beauty... :D

Kind regards
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Lmfao, hey that was on KK and my wallpapers on holo glass theme...u can tell mummy no freaking evil clowns will popup from anywhere lolz
[Sony Xperia ZL] keenofhiphop:
Well she is speaking very positively about the ROM.

Oh only bug she has is that every time she tries to push an APP to the SD-Card she gets an error message saying there is not enough space available.

But actually there are more than fifteen Gigabytes available.

Regards

Kai
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
i still don't know wich version u using...kk or lp ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] keenofhiphop:
oh sorry I forgot. long time no bug report...

It is on Validus 7 lollipop.

Sent from my XT1039 using Forum Fiend v1.3.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Well im not sure yet tho but for now u can only save app's data on sd...i can't tell, i never had to do that, i have enough space for my puposes. I already saw a commit on fusion3 for app2sd but was on kk, will investigate on dat soon as i have 5 minutes
[Sony Xperia ZL] ojessie:
wow, am I really the only one who has the same problem as on CandyRom?

Is it because of the Austrian UMTS, GSM LTE Standard that I'm having on both roms the same phone call problem that the other one can not hear me? And this happens in 80% of the calls.

I haven't found a solution to that problem e.g. restart / flight mode ... it seems none of this having an influence.
[Sony Xperia ZL] keenofhiphop:
my mom doesn't have any call problems.

u have same issue on SuperHanss's AOSPA Legacy?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ojessie:
Give it a try tomorrow ... is there any difference in baseband and kernel or what ever might influence that ...

Edit: I'm living here in the alps so there is a lot of switching between 2G/3G and LTE ... could that be the reason??
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
Prolly yeah...really hard to say
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Found a bug: I have to toggle "show search bar in recents" on to turn it off! :eek: :D

[Sony Xperia ZL] ojessie:
Hi Alx,

I don't know if you fixed something essential but this time it seems to work ... which means phone calls are working.

The only thing what I did this time I didn't install smart wifi toggler https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sebouh00.smartwifitoggler and tasker both are having some impact on Baseband switching .... Any idea?

I hope you doing better ...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:
I saw some fixes but was about apn, imo apps can't impact on baseband anyways...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Alx31:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Optilicious:
Gotta say I am loving thus ROM. It breaths new life in to my good old Odin. I wasn't able to install the black gapps, I kept getting errors so I just went with pagapps. Auto brightness is working but its a bit dim for my tastes. No worries though I'm just happy to see continued support for this device. Thank you!

Thanks again my dear friend!

- Theme engine is working. Icons work, some fonts don't. Think we have to wait for the themers to update...

- Lots of great new features, i.e. editable quick settings and power menu!

- There's no option to clear lockscreen wallpaper! I'm stuck with that validus default one and I don't want any.

- Could not yet check screencast. Will do later...

- Bugs:

1. FC when trying to open screen recorder settings

2. FauxSound still says "kernel not supported"

3. "show search bar in recents" toggle still twisted

4. Had 2 sudden system restarts till now

5. SystemUI FCs sometimes when installing apps/theme engine related things

WARNING: Don't try to apply a CM11 theme! It crashes everything! I was curious and then had to restore my nandroid...
