A NOTE TO ROM DEVS , THEMERS , AND ALL

My Friends

Please don't use my ROM as a base for your future roms. Including Updater script and all the stuffs. Please make your rom from scratch. Only i can feel the pain when i was building and uploading this ROM. I know my ROM is not a big superfast and bug free rom. Its just a normal ROM. But please make your ROM from scratches. If i found some one i will surely report without any PM.

There is some hidden things inside the Updater script , ( Adding Stock Kernel In ZIP) and also inside some apps. So no one can cheat me. ;) Also do not use my AROMA script without my permission.

Please don't mistake me. Its my Weeks of hard work without any REST.. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks and Regards :good:

[MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] i have PA 4.4.4 and Unlocked Bootloader.

Can i flash this rom, lock the bootloader and restore DRM Keys ?

For have all sony features perfectly working, camera noise cancellation, bravia engine etc .
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Yes. Simply flash this rom. Then lock bootloader and restore drm. All functions should work 100%. Because after flashing this ROM u will get stock kernel. So no need to worry..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Arrowblue:
Very nice rom bro. making mirror right now !
[Xperia Z Android Development] HeisenbergBB:
Thanks man.

If i not block bootloader and restore Drm key Sony features don't work ?

We are sure that is required Locked Bootloader and restore DRM keys for enable all sony features (Bravia Engine camera noise cancellation etc)? From Kitkat forward I saw that everything worked with UB and without restore DRM Keys. I also read around this one. But I'm not sure 100%.

Sorry for my english :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
I am sorry but i am not sure about UB and Sony features.. I never tried that..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Isuru cs:
superior update,work smoothly:D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Arrowblue:
bro not all features of sony need lockboot loader. so you are clear to install on unlocked bootloader you wont notice a thing. so dont worry and install it on unlocked bootloader. you dont need drm keys for any featuer only for image process of Sony album app but both are same.You are better with unlocked bootloader.Drm keys are mostly needed for Warranty .
[Xperia Z Android Development] HeisenbergBB:
thanks bro :)

I'm not interested for Warranty.

I had doubt because I had long ago i had UB and eXistenz 3.0.0. Everything worked perfectly, Bravia engine ( on or off the difference was visible ) and all olther features.

Is it possible to get quicker mirrors? From all mirrors the downloads are going 200 -400 kbps and my connections is fast enough as all other downloads are ging 3-5 mbps....
[Xperia Z Android Development] rsimas:
The rom works very fine for me, just sometimes i have exchange stops
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Does not matter bro. U can install this ROM even from a CM11 or CM12. But a clean installation recommended.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Hmmm.. No idea. Already got 4 mirrors from my friends. Asking more mirrors to them is not good. Since i respect all peoples in XDA. So pls adjust with the existing mirrors. :o
[Xperia Z Android Development] md003:

[Xperia Z Android Development] md003:
I have bootloader and other guys like me

Maybe i must choose c6603?

Not c6602?

I try flash rom 5 times and reboot many times

But not work..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Hi

Choose C6603 this time.. It should work ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] md003:
Thanks i will try it :) now
[Xperia Z Android Development] Arrowblue:
You have Sony Xperia z tho why would you choose xperia zl tho ??? XD
[Xperia Z Android Development] md003:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:

I will see your video then try the rom..

Thanks again man ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Guys

Added a video in OP 3rd Post that how to install this simple rom. Pls follow that..
[Xperia Z Android Development] imm1304:
Feedback

The rom installed easily, aroma installer has fairly clear descriptions.

Those who reported that there is no recovery in this rom, I think they are not choosing the very first option in aroma to install the rom (most likely choosing the customize option). I can confirm that this rom is fully functional in white version with all the options [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] listed in the OP.

Email/Exchange FC: In the black version, email and exchange force closed and made the email app un-usable after first reboot.

I decided to flash the white version and that solved email problems. I am not sure if this problem was related to the black version or it simply needed a few reboots to sort itself out.

Wifi is working as it should, all buttons and settings and apps are working normally for me.

There are enough fast mirrors to download from. I used Mega and it was around 3-4Mb down.. got the rom in just around 7 minutes

Thanks Rajeev.
[Xperia Z Android Development] yandz:
very informative rom, great thanks to you rajeev!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Thanks my friend..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Fine.. Thanks for the comment my friend...

Regarding E mail problem in black rom because of black themed email app. Will fix soon
[Xperia Z Android Development] md003:
finally the rom is work and WiFi also

there is a notice...

1- you must choose a Wipe Data Factory Reset first. then install aroma>>>>

2- choose a Xperia C6603 just this option.....

because the Xperia C6602 don't content a kernel

and everything will work fine like WiFi and recovery

thanks again Rajeev
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Very nice work [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] , everything is running very smooth. No issues , no fc , WiFi works. I love the black themeing...

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Finally... :thumbup:

1- I have already mentioned about Wipe data factory reset in my instructions.. I think u missed it..

2- There is no relation with Device selection and kernel.

And yes if u choose C6602 means u will lost recovery and wifi. I can fix that later..

Kernal Suggestions

Hi guys, im a noob with this haha, which 292 Based Custom Kernel should I be flashing? can someone give me some suggustions and links to which one I should flash? Im currently on carbonrom 4.4.4, didn't flash any kernel when I flashed this rom so idk what to do. TIA
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2865648
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Friends..

Please select C6603 only while installing. Pls don't choose C6602 untill i fix it. Nothing will happen. If u choose C6602 means u will lost recovery and wifi.. So C6602 users also pls choose C6603. Untill i fix it..
[Xperia Z Android Development] HeisenbergBB:
[MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] i downloading now your rom, i need some advice.

For maximum battery life is is better stock kernel or olther?

I advice to block bootloader or it does not matter?

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
I don't know much info about kernels.. But based on some reviews custom kernels can give better battery life than stock kernels. But u need to play with the custom kernel. Underclock and other things..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Acudor:
Ok well the rom is very good and smooth.. Thing is the superSU used to work but it asked for update, when i updated it i lost the root and i'm getting this msg
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
There is no need to update it.. Any way simply flash latest SuperSU fix from HERE

[Xperia Z Android Development] chrisftlse:
Hello Rajeev,

Many thanks for your hard work and here after my experience.

I did a clean install first selecting stock.

When I tried to setup the phone the keyboard was FC each time I was trying to fulfill the Google Account... Issue solved by reflashing the Black customised rom.

Since then, everything is perfect but I did not succeed to activate the homescreen rotation in landscape via exposed module.

Should someone give me hints to setup it ?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z Android Development] KobySam87:
Is there a way to mod the volume?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Diatomix98:

It was an issue with the framework ( a kind of corrupted file) works fine after reinstall and now this Rom is perfect.

Many thanks Rajeev
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjlm21:
Rajeev

First I tried the black version of the rom now I'm testing the white version but the phonebook and dial calls to continue with the appearance of black color.

I tried several options Aroma installer and still in black color even tried to install in the system folder and then move to the priv-app carpete the apk files phonebook and SemcPhone rom PureXZ made by you and not achievement that both applications see white.

What advice can you give me?

Regards

PS: I've tried reinstalling the rom and neither worked
[Xperia Z Android Development] rsimas:

How can I flash this ROM from CM11 ?

I flashed it and HODOR kernel .292 , but 3G mobile network not working .

Hi

First of all i am not asking any users ( my xda friends ) here for any donations or giving me a new XZ. I did not asked that anywhere.. But some helpful peoples here trying to help me.. I did not asked but they are helping me.. Because they loves me. They like my small works.. I know xda is not a place for making money.. But the painful thing is why some big developers allowd to talk about donations and some small developers like me not allowed... If u take a look at here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779949 you can find 100s of pages that talking about donations both users and the dev.. Any way i am leaving this here.. ...

Just installed, everything works great. Have a question. As on the screenshot, page marker is touching app drawer button. Not really big problem, but it bothers me for some reason :D

Edit: Figured out myself, thanks for awesome rom. Also, people who have problem with wifi, be sure to install for C6603.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Yea.. There is a problem with the C6602 file. Wifi will broke. Will fix later if possible... Or may be never. Or may be after releasing Lolipop.. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ticklefish:
Hmm..looks like I missed all the excitement. My Z was away, being repaired by Sony for ages.

This ROM looks fantastic, I can't wait to try it out in the next few days. (I work in retail, it's the January sales, free time doesn't exist right now.)

Good work, Rajeev! Hope things are going well in your personal life!

[Xperia Z Android Development] Ticklefish:
Hmm...so the keyboard kept FC'ing. I tried rebooting a few times and now the phone's stuck on the kernel logo. Curious.

I'll use PC Companion to reflash stock then I'll try it again.

I love that Aroma menu, by the way. Very cool. :good:

-----

Two hours later.. So I flashed my phone back to stock, rooted, installed a recovery, flashed the Aroma zip, selected 'C6603' and 'ROOT', went through the rest of the procedure, the device rebooted and..I get a bootloop on the kernel logo again.

With no option to go back into recovery, it looks like I have to flash back into stock again. Which is simple enough, just time-consuming. So I'm back to my old handset for now.

Any ideas what's going wrong here?
[Xperia Z Android Development] S3R6PH:
Nice ROM,

Only 1 thing what i missing,and that is te quick settings widget from the center of my screen.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Thats very strange buddy... I think u missed to choose stock deodexed rom first.. Can u pls see the installation video from OP ? It should work mate
[Xperia Z Android Development] chrisftlse:
Hi there,

When you write that you have flashed 'C6603' and 'Rooted' following aroma installer, did you rebooted you phone in between ?

I personnaly flashed the C6603 then went to the end of the Aroma steps and rebooted.

And after settings up my personnal parameters (ggogle accounts etc...) and some reboots I flashed the Custom Black

Then everything went fine.

Perhaps try to redownload the zip source of the Rom just in case.

Regards,
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ticklefish:
Thanks, bro. For now I've installed 5.1 of the previous version, just for speed. I've got a few xda-related things I need to take care of, Xmas has left me with a lot of catching up to do!

I'll try this again when things are a bit quieter and I can make sure I'm doing it properly.

I'm sure it works, I think I was just moving too fast when I tried it. :)

It's got to be said, I do love that Aroma installer. That's a very neat idea!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Thanks bro.. :thumbup:
