Not bad, just read that Android 5.1 is likely to be released in February 2015.

Some fixes and improvements are:

Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0

General improvements in system stability

Improved RAM management

Fixes for sudden app closures

Improved battery management

Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed

Issues with wireless connections fixed

Problems with Okay Google function solved

Notifications problems solved

Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed

Other improvements and changes

I'm looking most forward to the wi-fi and battery management improvements!

I cannot wait for Scrubber to make this update available for us, if he does that is. :laugh:

Lol I re flashed like 4 times already and got the same results
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prashanth123:
Thank you so much for the instructions

At last i got this working on my z ultra i have few queries if you can help me out

-If there would be a future update say 5.0.1 since we have flashed GPE edition ROM do we get a OTA update or again i would have to flash it?

-Is there way of flashing sony walkman, accuweather(had nice animation) and video player

TIA
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bchaney16:
I wiped my ZU and reflashed the ROM and am no longer having location issues. I also had some problems connecting to Bluetooth before reflashing and that's been resolved as well. Hope this helps someone having these issues.

Sony Jive

Hi i tried to install sony Jive however i get an error saying your device is not registered :crying:

I need this app can someone help me out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] redrivera:
Freezed a handful of times yesterday but didn't experience any today. I'm also able to vouch for other people's observations regarding slower charging times. The battery's definitely filling up much slower after I flashed this.

But other than that, everything else is just smooth smooth smooth
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Thats a known Android 5 issuee. My FRITZ!Box 7360 disconnects me sometimes, but the connection is up again when turning WiFi off/on. With some routers there are harder to resolve problems with WiFi, i've heard about Cisco routers for example.

But after all that's an Android 5.0.0 issue and not ROM-specific.

There are problems with O2 data connections here in Germany as well, but those problems are related to a wrong configured APN by Google.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
We should get a future update for 5.1 as soon as it's been released. It's only a matter of time before it's released on the Sony GPE edition.

Once it's been released, Scrubber will hopefully port it for us regular Xperia Z Ultra users.

Just be patient for the release. I too am looking forward for it. There should be several improvements and bug fixes. :D

We will have to re-flash the 5.1 update once released. OTA is not possible unfortunately...

Battery backup is fine for me, i have installed DU battery saver.

Try formatting the internal memory too.

Also, try this as a last resort:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57522943

If its still acting up, then you could go to Sony service center and ask them to replace the battery.

I keep my brightness around minimum most of the time except for when I watch video content. So I get 5+ hrs of on screen time.

You can also install synapse and use the display brightness controller to set it to much lower than what is normally possible:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
I did a complete wipe including the internal memory, strange why it's doing this.

I am considering asking Sony to replace the battery.

Only 30 minutes back I fully recharged the battery, used the phone with wi-fi for around 20 minutes and the battery is 92%

Would you say a loss of 8% battery using wi-fi and full brightness for 20 minutes normal?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jecmenn:
Nice ROM but i found some bugs. 1.) When you press all buttons (power on/off, vol+ & vol-) phone will freeze.

2.) Some apps, especially games will crash on looking for resources to download screen.

Btw. Is there any way how to install fully functioning Walkmann?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] saenz4931:
I just flashed this rom, everything is going smoothly, but just noticed that I have only 114 MB free on my system rom... I normally get over 800 on stock rom.... Is it normal?... Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fooznugget:
I have to say that even though I love lollipop, I get too many freezes to be able to use this on a daily basis. After about a week, I get constant freezing as soon as the device boots up which continues until I wipe cache and dalvik. This happens no matter which recovery I use and after multiple flashes. Not sure if it’s an issue with the GPE ROM or the port, but I’m going to scrubber’s 4.4.4 ROM now (which has been stable for a few days now).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] palexis06:
Hi, This Rom would be excellent if there was no random freeze :/

thank's for this work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] albireox:
Absolutely no freezes here so far, I use this ROM for about a week, the battery seems to be great also. Wonderful work!

Phone hang/freeze while watching videos

Hi,

Anyone here encountered phone freeze and no response from buttons soft keys while surfing net?

Happened twice while watching video. Dailymotion. Running on stock chrome browser.

Plugged in charger while system freeze does nothing, no LED light, no charging logo.

Only way is to reset using the small button in sim tray.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Had freezes, too, but very rare. POWER+VOL+ shuts the phone down as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dandyqb:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mu_shim:
Mine is only 340 MB.

To the OP, did you do a wipe of cache and Dalvik cache when flashing the ROM?

Does two finger swipe down from the top of the screen to bring up the quick settings work for anyone else? It kind of works for me, but I have to sort of swipe twice. I tested the screen with Touch Explorer and the screen registers touches perfectly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
Yes I have. Even with general stuff. I went back to 444 until update. Plus I missed xposed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frdan:
Why should I be on 4.4.4??

Could I do it when I'm on 4.4?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fooznugget:
The two finger swipe did not work for me either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jecmenn:
Well for me it work without problem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
two fingers works fine on a GPe, on the AOSP ROM 3 works well
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sollysally:
very fast, very smooth and very clean rom, no bugs, but I miss xposed and gravitybox... notification heads up and custom navigation bar is important for me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mu_shim:
Was playing around with two finger swipe last night on my Nexus 7 with Lollipop, and then trying on the ZU. It works fine on the ZU if you swipe down with both fingers from the top two corners.

(I noticed on the N7 that two finger swipe only seems to work well if you roughly place your fingers at the outer edges of the notification area. On the ZU the notification area spreads across the entire top of the screen, hence the need to drag down from the corners.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BlackOrder:
The speed of the swipe matters. You have to do it with less speed for it to work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Headup notifications can be used without xposed framework: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=codes.simen.l50notifications

The only thing I miss from xposed is the Youtube adblocker. DNS logging does not work in AdAway, but that's low priority for me.

Any Solution for this?? I am getting stuck at boot stage and when I restart, I get stuck with some text of Russian and then no go. Have tried restarting, wiping cache/dalvik but freezes at the start with no scrolling (Apps do get updated when I clear cache and then freezes). There is no way to chose language, can anyone please help!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VipiN'n'DroiD:
ok .. follow the instructions properly .. and you'll have 5.0 running in your device.

1. Download ROM from the first page. (you don't nee gapps .. its already included inside).

2. Put the downloaded ROM in your internal or SD Card (recommended).

3. Download DoomLord's Kernel.. (well I've used its boot.img to hotboot)

4. extract its boot.img into your fastboot folder (obviously on PC :D)

5. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (poweroff, hold up key & plug usb, a blue light should show)

6. in fastboot folder use SHIFT + Right Click --> Open command window here

7. Type in the command : fastboot boot boot.img

8. Your phone should restart automatically --> When purple light show up .. hold the VOL UP key to enter the CWM Recovery.

9. Factory reset, bla bla bla .. then install the zip file of the ROM you've downloaded.

10. factory reset again .. (I usually do it :D) ..

11. Restart, keep patience .. first boot take more than 3-5 mins ... don't give up on it .. :p ..

& VOILA !!! you have perfectly flashed 5.0 on your gigantic device .. :o
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cupidstunt:
I think it's something to do with the DRM stuff on the TA partition and you would relock your bottloader by restoring that, so you'll have to go back to stock for it to work unfortunately. It's the only time miracast has worked for me.

fastboot mode (switch off the phone, hold vol up then connect the usb .. notifications should be blue in color )

if yes,

then its some driver problem .. you need to download the driver from sony website and install ..

i skipped 4.4.4 and jumped right from 4.4.2 to 5.0 can i revert back to 4.2?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] argiris:
The notification led does not work for me! Do you have the same "problem"?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Papalegba:
I also flashed from cm 11. Thing went well for a while until with the occasional freeze, once every other day or so. Eventually the rate increased until i was getting a total systrm freeze every hour or so. At that point i dowgraded tona nandroid from july just to see if it was the rom on something physical with my device. Everything was fine so i flashed the 5.0 rom again. The freezes began again. I then went to a clean install of the gpe 4.4.4 port and again the freezes disappeared.

I began looking at my directory tree and it was looking really convoluted paths like media/0/0/dcim Bacically looked like i had a typical user directory nestled within another user directory. I figured it couldnt do any harm to wipe my internal sd card and try one final clean install of this rom because frankly aside from the freezes its awesome.

I booted into twrp and wiped all user files and then clean installed the rom. As an added precaution i didnt restore any apps using TB either, i had my suspicion, although unconfirmed that it was my backed up/restoted apps causing the problem.

So far 6 days later no freezes. Fingers crossed.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krwlng:
Anyone tried this on a C6833 and all working fine?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
Everything is working fine here. I had a 0/0/0/0/0/0... directory on my internal memory, but I just copied everything from it to the corresponding folders on the phone, and all is well. I think it was from restoring with titanium, but I'm not sure. I've had no freezes, and the rom is smooth as butter here. The lock screen will still show a "Charging" message at the bottom after you unplug your charger, but that's about the only bug I can find. Camera, GPS, LTE, mic, display all work fine.

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

I also had a 0/0/0/0/0... directory with files in every level of it. I just moved them to their corresponding folders, and deleted it. No problems after I did here. Did you figure out where they came from?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] texaspledge:
I think you guys are on to something here. I had the /0/0/0 on my sd card as welland just cleaned it up.

Also think this is related to the 'no SD' bug that scrubber mentions in first post. I ran the command he noted in terminal emulator also to see if that helps.

Rebooted, hopefully it solves the freezing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fooznugget:
Oh that's interesting that 2 people mentioned Titanium backup as a possible source of the freezing. I definitely had restored with Titanium and had tons of freezing issues. If that is really the reason why, I may give this ROM another shot and try not restoring anything from Titanium.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
I'm not 100% sure it was Titanium. That's just the only thing I can think of. I think it may have been a problem restoring backups from 4.4.4 to 5.0. I've since replaced those backups, so I don't have any way to test it out. It was easy to fix though. Just move the contents of the folders to the folders with the same name on your internal sd card and delete the "0" folders once they are empty. You may have to make the folder if it's not already there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] WildBit:
Titanium Backup

Hi all, Titanium is great but I only use it to restore DATA and not the application. Another use is to extract from a Nandroid back made by TWRP and/or CWM. IN any case the port from Scrubber works and I've been using it (working with it) since it's release.

Everything is perfect!

Happy New Year
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aladdin32:
I never used titanium backup, still freez two to three times a day, however every thing is working except the charging bug.

It must be something else..

Anyway this port is great and deserves to keep trying and digging for the solution.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
Yes. I hope nobody misunderstood my posts. Scrubber's port is amazing, and working flawlessly here. We were just trying to determine where the strange 0/0/0 folder came from. Cheers and happy new year!

What is better rom from this stock GPE ROM and StoneUI HD(4.4.4) -near to SONY stock ROM? I think 4.4.4 StoneUI HD is more stable with better battery life -read today this news -all 5.0 ROM have many problems -

"One of the most annoying problems a Lollipop user may encounter is a memory leak responsible for terminating apps and frequently reloading the home screen. Applications that usually take no more than 500 MB of RAM can eat upwards of 1.2 GB or more. While devices often come with 2 or 3 GB of RAM, this memory consumption is extremely high."
