Hi guys !

First, thx for this awesome work. This rom works like a charm.

I just have a little problem, when I go to theme chooser I don't have the option to download other themes, it only show me preinstalled themes.

Does someone else has the same problem ?

(Sorry for my english ^^)

Since .167, my Exchange Bypass Xposed module does not work. I get asked for a pin or password and I want to use patter unlock... Is this a known issue with 4.4.4?

Even after removing the account I cant get access to pattern unlock. How do I get it back?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Monipeev:
I apologize for the question because your browser does not answer, but how can I stop the automatic exclusion of that /X_reality or Vivid/ option after restarting the phone or after a while of using your phone? :)

That's a security feature. Not sure though in what exact Android version that came up first.

@ niaboc

Great method for rooting new Firmware. Appreciate your Work.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
If you are using low battery mode in power saving options, uncheck Image enhancer off and on stamina mode uncheck Extended usage (if ever you switched that option on)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] faithraze:
This is correct. Stamina mode xtended usage disables image enhancement. Reproduced on stock 4.4.4 firmware .167
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Guys...

This is stock ROM.

I see many of you are asking things and reporting bugs...Niaboc79 can't have anything with it...

He will fix NC, I'm sure about that, but even that wasn't his fault - it's bug that was came from flashing ftf through flashtool (we all know flashtool isn't Sonys official tool, right?)

So...if you don't want to use custom ROMs, you want clean, rooted stock rom - you are on the right place.

I'm not criticising, just answering to few questions "is this stock or custom ROM"

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

I'll check that as soon as I get home.

I don't have java sdk on my business notebook so I can't answer right now...

But if I fail, we'll ask [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] to help us with that.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Is there then something we can do about the laggy camera or are we at the mercy of Sony for another release?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
I don't have problems with lag.

Maybe you see something I don't but my camera is working like this and I really don't think it's bad.

(my hands are shivering a bit but I'm really satisfied how Z2 works on new fw)

No lag here_Xperia Z2 167fw: http://youtu.be/P8sbJhIIVZo
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Monipeev:
Lag is more, when we are on low light. Are you try Funky0308? :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
When looking around with the view finder, the image stutters (low framerate)... It's not the same as previous 4.4.2...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cocagenda2:
well after few days of testing i can confirm that camera is laging,even after wiping my data on phone and even after flashing a stock ftf ,not custom rom and the problem still exist. Those who played any FPS game will definetly notice the diference in camera speed :cool:

So looks like will have to wait for sony to release a new ftf, cuz im sure that they pushed that ota in a hurry and sometimes bad thigs happen when u do that. :D

but at the end i can say that Sony changed alot from xperia z and in a good way so i know they will fix that.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
I really don't care about that or I found that as a problem.

Final result is good, that's why interesting me.

If recorded video stutters, I would mind that but it doesn't...

I'm playing fps, of course, not on phone, I have pc beast for that...

I'm, probably, wrong person to talk about that because I'm using my phone as a phone so I really don't care much for camera or games...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ghostofcain:
Thanks, I thought it was just me, my phone is a backup camera and when I need to take a photo it works just fine, but then I'm not watching the world through the screen just snapping the odd shot now and again.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

If they did it was probably because of users whinging about how long it was taking to get the update out.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neo2k12:
Maybe there's a way to use the camera drivers from 4.4.2. :confused:

I'm not much of a developer but maybe someone wants to give that a try.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Guys stop complaining about Camera. Framerate of PREVIEW have been reduced to avoid heating problem, that's all. Picture quality isn't affected.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Why would you do that?

Are you professional photographer?

Camera is a bit slow but as [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] said and it's not hard to figure that out by yourself - you were all complaining about camera heating, now Sony is trying to reduce that heating...of course there's have to be some compromise...

Camera is just a bit slower but all videos and pictures are fine...

To use 4.4.2 camera lib or drivers is insane...

It's better to use 4.4.2 firmware than do something like that...

Guys are you forgetting we are talking about phones, anyone noticed that you can actually call someone from Z2?

I now it's smartphone and all that but slow down...

I'm perfectly satisfied with Z2 and 4.4.4... That's my opinion, of course but it's getting ridiculous to read all this...

If there's a device that is better and faster - use it, sell Xperia and buy that one...

Sony will polish firmware and drivers, maybe not on Z2 but that's progress...

Try to remember Gingerbread...it was almost unusable... It'll be better just take it easy...

XDA and phones should be hobby or a tool - not life...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] neo2k12:
It is our goddamn right to be annoyed by laggyness on a 500€ phone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shockss:
Guys I've got a solution for who has some issues with the noise cancelling feautre of our lovely Z2!

Just simply follow this method:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155

I made a dirty flash into this ROM, everything works!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ghostofcain:
Your choice, you can have reduced frame rate in view finder (with no affect on actual photgraphy) or increased hear leading to camera shutdown. Not a perfect solution but then I don't live in a perfect world.

Incidentally the very strength of Android is the ability to tinker with it if your really unhappy learn to code and fix it yourself
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hani88:
Can u give us the pre rooted rom with working NC that u made ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shockss:
Okay M8. Uploading but it is gonna take some time bcz the file is 1 gb :)

It's completely stock which means it's directly converted from tft to zip with that prf tool.

Well, I suggest u to post it as a new thread :)

[MENTION=5979317]shockss[/MENTION]

Based on Russian rom?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shockss:
But I'm not an Xda Android Developer :D

Nah, It's based on a honk-kong version of OTA

By the way, At first, I was getting problems about installing the xPosed even though SuperSU says I'm root. It was saying that /system doesn't have write access.

Now I fixed it too, by a coincidence. I found a way to get a FULL root acess without problems.

Today is my birthday, I guess that's why I'm lucky. :D

Stock, Noise Cancelling Working, Full ROOT access without any problems.

May be I can open a new thread, If I can confirm that it is working on some other people's handsets

Any volunteers ?

PS: I'm not a developer.

We were talking about the one I prepeared with PRF Creator tool.

I had some issues with Noise Cancelling. It hadn't been working but now I fixed with the one I created.

Thanx :good::o
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Anyone noticed how good screen recording is working now?

In a first version screen recording always recorded the beginning and the ending where it was visible how we are turning on and off recording...

Now Sony changed that and video is automatically trimmed.

Little things makes our life easier :)

yeah amazing screen recording with audio, any one tried skype or Tango video call recording?

How to get full root?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] core_x:
Thanks for this Rom!

Do you have a list with all the files you have deleted?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
Niaboc is correct. Every page on this thread has post about camera being laggy or slow framerate. Go out to any sony concept store or if you know someone with a Z3 borrow it and test the camera. My friend has a Z3 and its camera is the same as the Z2's 4.4.4 update, Z3's camera also has a slow framerate. Sony did this for a reason, if the camera heats up you guys complain about it, sony lowered down the framerate to address the heating issue and now here we are again complaining that the camera lags. As long as the camera takes good quality pictures that's fine, low framerate doesnt affect the performance of the camera
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
My camera has NEVER heated up or shutdown once on 4.4.2. Even 4K video, So yes, I am pissed as well about the terrible compromise... Even the general performance of the phone has decreased. All scrolling is stuttering...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ghostofcain:
That is not the experience of most users, are you running a rooted or completely stock? If rooted (de-odexed might explain some lagging) try flashing stock ftf, and if stuttering persists have a word with Sony.

I'm unaware of any other users who could record 4k without eventual overheating on 4.4.2 maybe your device was running underclocked as Standard? Whatever the explanation your device does appear atypical.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Chillzone:
i run out of space long before the phone overheats in 4k. and i have the batch with most flaws lol.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MrCatalyst:
Did you get it to upload properly? Last time it was stuck. I like the 4.4.4 features, but I was forced to restore 4.4.2 because of the NC bug.

And is there any difference between Hong Kong OTA and say UK? Would everything work as it should? It did for Russian one.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Rooted, ODEX.

camera issue

ok guys thank u for the answers especialy Niaboc79...now we know that Sony did that on purpuose to reduce overheating while camera records...and we can all STOP complaining including me.btw rom is awesome way faster then any version before...4.4.4 is curently the best rom even for my xperia z which i gave it to my brother. thanks again guys and keep u the good work. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shockss:
Sorry for delayed reply. It took my time while prepearing things

I'm about to post a new thread in 10 minutes which is gonna answer all things. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hani88:
I think the lag happens because of improvements in ISO senstivity.. because the camera only lags in low light condition

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

yeah I agree, because the creator of this thread spent a lot of time to help us by creating this rom, and I think it won't being polite If u post ur rom here :)

I just wanted to give my feedback after 1 week using this rom.

The rom is very smooth and reactive.

Battery life is absolutely phenomenal! 54% at the end of the evening after medium use. Much better than 4.4.2.

Only issue I have is with the touchscreen. Sometimes touch inputs become non-responsive. Only after I put the lockscreen and then unlock the phone touch input return to work normally.

This may have something to do with the fact that I am using pie controls (LMT)... ?

Anybody having this issue?
