M5 kernel is in latest zip? Newest (v9) version, and is it supporting f2fs on our device?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Nah use build from February
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Any chance for other recovery than CM one? This one even doesn't allow me to use this rom...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
as i said many times, why don't u flash twrp on your fota partition? it will survive thru rom flashes and never again you gonna have to care about recovery....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
Nah, use build from February and the latest one on 7 Aug.

still got wifi issue
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I think you messed up your phone. Flash a stock ftf and see if you still have the issue it may be a hardware issue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
Is there anywhere i can get hold of just the kernel?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Download zip and unpack boot.img. Thats what I did before.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
just tried and got constant bootloop... ah well... i suppose i'll wait!! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
With AICP 10.0 and Infinitive-OS it worked fine.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
Dats because of the ramdisk, u can't just use boot.img only, kernel has to be built alone differently.

My msm8974 kernel is kexec patched and almost ready for multirom.

Someone else working also on rhine's MR.

Did u guyz tested wifi here? Im pretty sure its working ok as its ok on honami.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
Yes,wifi is working

So far i tested everything works exept of camera and viper in current build.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Viper works here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
so i gess rom will be updated soon with new camera and other things, i rly like what i see on this post for this rom ill wait new relise with camera and try it. great job with black lollipop <3
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
It is a very nice rom, with camera it will be perfect.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] crodgers79:
Anyway to load dual recovery on this beast??

Love the ROM, love, love, love it! But the Cyanogen Recovery sucks, big time. Is there anyway to load the dual recovery on this ROM? I tried using the steps I normally take for Kitkat ROMS and it just fails, even though the lockeddualrecovery program reports success..

Yes, I'd like camera too, but I'd dearly LOVE to be able to nandroid (backup) my current configuration which isn't supported in the bare-bones Cyanogen Recovery.

Please help! Thank you!

Chris R.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
we working hard on twrp...i will implement it soon, till its done, just fastboot flash any cm11 kernel and make full wipes + rom n' gapps flashing from there.

Dual recovery from Nut is for stock roms...come on man, wake up :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I flashed this today on my C6802 and is very, very impressed. Will flash the C6833 immediately when the next version with camera is out. Everything seems to work so far, fast and stable. The configuration possibilities make it possible to live without Xposed Framework.

This will be the ROM that make me ready to take the step over to Lollipop full time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
Weird.

Calendar sync (and some other syncs) arent working here too....

Maxbe titanium backup shouldn't restore the accounts?

Will do a backup,flash again and put the login data in again manually. Maybe this works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
Is there any way to swap back and recent key?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
Nope...apps like softkeyz doesn't work yet
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
I was thinking more like flashable zip, my old dont work on this rom, worked on scrubber rom but i like this rom a lot better
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
LP filesystem is different...good luck with that, idk how to do it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
One more question, why i cant install some games? They are not from google market, a lot of games cant install like this

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lobiik:
I flashed this rom, works great, although I found an issue with magnetic dock. When phone is on it, charging and pin-locked (with safe location enabled), then when someone calls, it rings once and then rejects the call. On Android side, it doesn't show that dialer screen, but minimized version that is stuck at 'accept' or 'reject' bit, that doesn't do anything but only gets dismissed. Flashed clean on completely wiped LTE togari. Using stock dialer and Apex launcher.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
Anybody else having persistent notification about Google play services needing to update although it's already up to date ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diamantericos:
I download another ROM thinking it was this one . because it had the dark material name in the title. Come to find out only the setting is dark. Cant wait for camera fix so I can jump on board
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
i tried all afternoon but i had some se policy errors...and it will also be fully multirom compatible...im close to it, maybe tomorrow will be ok
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Thanks again for the great work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
sudden dim brightness

My screen suddently went almost pitch black for no apparent reason.

any setting that might have caused it?

after forced reboot, it works fine for a short while but then goes super dim again.

Happened on Scrubber's lollipop port too.

could it be kernel related?

Thanks

Edit

it seems to be related to 'adaptive backlight' setting. when off, the screen stay very dim
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] naveenkumarj999:
Mine also happening the same ....this ROM s good..but therz a few buugs...pie is also not working proper. If everything works well then it will be awesome..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
pie been removed as navbar setting as it getting rom unstable...will make a new build soon
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Looking forward to it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] srdempster:
A lot of games wont install on lollipop just need to wait for the designers to catch up and for the google play error try going into apps and clearing the cache or if that fails uninstall it back to original and reboot
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
Nice ROM, really looking forward to flashing it. However, I have a question... I a currently on 5.0 GPE Port, with TWRP 2.8xx and I was wondering if I could flash it with that? All you mentioned was (CWM RECOVERY) In the description for "instructions"

I hope someone here can help, let me know. :)

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
Wassup guyz? new build is up... =)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diamantericos:
If that annoying Bluetooth bug has been fixed I'll flash away
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I just flashed your latest build on my C6802. It is booting right now. Will be interesting to check it out.:)

Edit: Sorry to say but this latest build gives the dreaded System UI FCs. It crashes right away on boot.

So it will be necessary to wait for a new build. I did a hard reset in both TWRP when the ROM was flashed and later from CM Recovery. The last days CM nightlies suffered from a similar problem but the latest February 3 one seems to be OK.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diamantericos:
Flashed as My second ROM having same issues . so its safe to say the next update won't have this issue
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
Ok will make another build tonight...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Great, I will flash it when back home. Charging the device now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Does the new build have the video fix?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I am ready to test it too. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
Any news on this yet? Any updates? Camera working yet? I have 5.0 GPE port already installed and I want to get on this, it looks sick. However, I just want to make sure that everything is okay here, before I do so.

So, any help or reply would be greatly appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diamantericos:
Number one rule never ask for updates if a dev says they will update be patient they have their own lives it will be much appreciated if no one asks again its better to take time to make sure as much bugs are squashed than to rush just to please us .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shashank1976:
The latest build force closes system UI as soon as the phone boots.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
yes but it does only once and then the rom runs ok...im building by now anyways.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shashank1976:
Nah .... I tried quite a few times ...... even after rebooting several times ...it continued to FC System UI.

Anyways.....good luck with the next rebuild :good:

Please tell me how it goes...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lobiik:
if it's forked off CM12, I'd avoid using nightly 20150129-20150202 (systemui crashes), 20150203 is somewhat stable, 20150204 was OK
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diamantericos:
So this build is awesome both network and Bluetooth music issues are resolved .

So looks like video playback broken whether it be YouTube app or Internet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
it was a question & you need to chilll.............
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diamantericos:
Before I terminate this argument I'm going to make a point of course it was a question that's why I said never ”ASK” for updates checks ops dating back to the g1 you'll see my point . anyway let's not clutter this with such discussions and ruin it for all
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
This rom is lightning fast, great job. This is way to smooth and feature packed to not have as my daily driver. Thanks [MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
Are you talking about the new, recent build?

How's battery life?

Please report back.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I flashed this on my C6802 for testing. It seems to work quite well but I noticed that Settings got FC when the device is rotated to landscape mode.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Yes, and I left the phone on, but unplugged all night, went to bed with 86% left and woke up with it being at 85%. The battery lasted me all day yesterday with moderate usage.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

I can't test the C6802, but I don't have that issue. Is it just when you enter settings in landscape? Or is it when you change something in it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
Is the rom supporting exfat?

I flashed it, and have troubles mounting my sdcard.

Further, in chrome the home&multitasking buttons are not working properly. Especially the multitasking button.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
yeah we working on it

we have some frameworks issue will be fixed soon...

About your battery, if i was you...time to make a battery calibration buddy, u're batterystats.bin should be corrupted, its happening often when flashing, im pretty sure if u let it go to 100%,

then with an app u press calibrate, u let it go to dead empty, then let it charging offline whole night,

that "bug" will go away...also pretty sure it will stay for an hour at 1% becuz of that corruption.

that kinda battery charging (dead empty to 6/7 hours offline charge) i do it twice a month...i guess it can't hurt ;)

these buttons are also being working on. exfat is enabled on kernel, idk whats wrong with your device...wich format u used?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I got it whenever I enter landscape. One example is in Chrome. System UI FC immediately when I rotate my device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
Ok, thanks.

I used my windows pc to format the sdcard to exfat. Could be that the partition is damaged, i've no possibility to repartition it and keep the data till sunday...

Edit:

Could you maybe add parted to the shell available things in next build?

It is missing, so that I csn't format or repartition it via aparted or shell.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
Parted? Whats that?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jamaljmys:
the boot.img i will flash from this rom will replace my current recovery? if yes how to flash this rom in multirom?

thanks for help
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
this kernels is not yet kexec patch, next update it will. so next update will be multirom compatible

ask in multirom thread on how to flash then. Candy5 is already patched.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
AndroidPIT says, it is a program to repartition and format sd-card. Its integrated in cyanogenmod recovery they say, but there it isn't to find o.O officially its named GNU Parted. I think the app "aparted" needs that, to work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
lolz well in linux we have gparted, partitions management tool...from wich u could format sd keys and so on...

we based on cm so if its working on cm, it must work here also. maybe try to format with fat to see...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
It isn't even possible to delete the partition... If i try with terminal emulator it doesn't find parted/gparted.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
was speaking to format it from a pc bro
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
Tried that today,

seems like the card is defect. Any repair with diskpart impossible...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
im not happy for you cuz.. dat s#cks; but im happy i don't have to crush my head on that lolz
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] immortalsoule:
Bluetooth blues...

Has no one else experienced this problem?

At the very beginning of a call, using a bluetooth headset, the person you're calling notices your voice is very "low". Later, the bluetooth seems to equalize but it takes 30 seconds to 45 seconds for it to normalize completely.

Is there some "fix" where it can be normalized when the connection starts?

i used follwing commands:

repo sync

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch 57 (for togari)

time mka validus

--> compiles fine but neither rom nor recovery will boot. if i flash the kernel from your zip file via fastboot the rom boots.

i made a clean/fresh linux install ubuntu (14.10)

i reseted the device with flashtool to sony stockfirmware .108 and installed from fresh.

i still have the same problem like here:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/make-bootable-lollipop-kernel-t3022639

i dont freaking get it.

im using your sources and changed nothing.

what am i doing wrong?

had no problems with kitkat but this is driving me insane as i dont understand whats going wrong. :crying:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
thanks for reply,

maybe i didnt get you or you me :)

vanir line is commented out.

rom is booting with sabermod toolchain :highfive:

kernel also if is use ramdisk.img for kernel instead of combinedroot.fs like stated here.

but i dont get a working kernel with recovery build! it wont boot fotakernel nor ramdisk with recovery.

the cm sources use ramdisk for recovery. at least thats how it looks to me 1 2.

how can i force the kernel to use fotakernel for recovery? so when i press volume up at boot time it will load fotakernel?

Anyway i will try with your manifest tonight. i must have missed something.

edit: now working!

it was as you stated the toolchain...

tried different arm-eabi toolchains for the kernel but didnt thought about changing android-eabi.

now it all make sense :)

i guess it must be problem in compiled cpio.

thanks alot!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
i knew it...told u its the toolchain, i broke my head for a month on it, and same thing for _infected with his z2

no any roms/ xperia z variants boots on sabermod applied on rom thats more than a fact. even if u build your own sabermod toolchain.

make sure u also use

this
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
how to submit a bugreport?

how to submit a bugreport for validus?

in op its stated that i shall use g+

but there is no bugreport thread in g+. also i dont like social media :)

bug:

its not possible to configure the second button row for PIE.

Also i have some questions about your optimizations:

why only use mfpu=neon instead of mfpu=neon-vfpv4 for a15/krait. my build seems to work flawlessly with it. i also will try with mvectorize-with-neon-quad

why isnt "TARGET_GLOBAL_CPPFLAGS += $(arch_variant_cflags)" set?

if you need testers or other kind of support let me know.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Already did. But thanks for mentioning it!

Now i dont feel that stupid anymore :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
well report bugs to me as im the mainteneer...

so, about the pie, its still a wip; so get some patience ;)

and about optimizations, well, tell me where they goes i will add them =)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
didnt know pie is marked as wip, sorry.

look at the 3 commits i made:

https://github.com/mustermaxmueller/validus_build/commit/f2200f2982b4d0b2f11c9d3e9e831f5db7fc3e19

https://github.com/mustermaxmueller/validus_build/commit/8ee29e3d5b09c0edefefb1189dd8ff34afacf670 (you need this if you use the above)

https://github.com/mustermaxmueller/validus_build/commit/44dc8abf63f40154fed5d7e29123e7dfdab37acb

look at https://github.com/dorimanx/android_external_sqlite/commit/9d2a3117cc3724393fbad2a8398bb5c436efe520

this makes some huge huge sqlite improvements and its working under lollipop.

before i get sqlite score like ~ 100 TPS in AndroBench now i get over ~1500 TPS! so fastest device by far according to there database. and i hadnt any sqlite problems at all after changing.

its especially useful because of the poor emmc performance of the device.

rl sqlite benchmark didnt have this extreme performance gains but still measurable. as im writing out of my head i dont have the numbers :(

all tested on my device c6833 and working without problem but didnt do any benchmarking for the non sqlite changes! so no validation if its actually useful :)

give credit if u use them please

Nice rom. Wifi is working, camera both front and back is working, although it's crappy as usual. Multiboot is working.

Bluetooth headphones connect, but got no audio, and mp3 straight up refuses to play on the default player while Bluetooth headset is connected.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I am 99% sure that the fix for BT audio is... Viper4Android and TestLolliViper 2.3.3.0. LiquidSmooth has this integrated and I did a lot of experimentation yesterday with it separately flashed and it seems to be the solution. I did the usual things that brings out the bug (disconnecting the headset for a while, playing music for a long time, pausing for extended periods and so forth - all of which killed the audio for me) and... everything worked with V4A.

So I give this heads up to the developer: It seems like it is the integrated V4A that do the trick with LiquidSmooth.

BT audio a bit glitchy with play music. Play button on sbh52 starts the track audio starts then fails while track appears to keep playing on screen.

Using stock audio player all is good. Buttons on sbh52 work almost all of the time. Won't start track as I'm writing this but music starts from the pull down. Perfectly servicable.

My daily for sure.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnocomski:
