Thanks google translate hehe
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Ahmed-07:
I didn't flash any sound mod .. any recommended one? :P

i reinstalled with wipe option and it didn't format my internal storage and that's very good :D thanks man
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Thanks :D It must be in OP

I use viper4android from playstore (choose drivers with A15 i don't remember the correct name xD)...for me is best combo with dolby digital (included in rom)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
lol thanks :D .. btw i downloaded viper4android and it gave me a notifcation to install V4A driver in order to work and it have 3 options Super and high audio quality - powe saving

is that what you mean? :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I downloaded the version of playstore(search V4A fx to playstore)there is a version in chinese for android 4.x (relax ...the language is in english) ...you select for drivers the third one (there are different drivers but they are more conpatible than your version)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
Have anyone tried Dolby Engine in this ROM? Give some comments.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
I tried it on my noise cancellation headphones ... the only thing i can describe is it makes the sound higher and more louder with good quality

[disabled all sound options except dolby]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Significantly more louder when turned on but not as clear as turned off
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
It very good. Perfect.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
How is good? What kind of music/earphone do you use?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
You can feel the different. The good is dolby can mix with viper4android. I feel enjoy more sound. Try it mate.

I test it and confirm it can be used for other 4.4.4 Z2 stock base rom also.

I'm using MDR-NC31EM headphone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
I've tried Dolby on Optimus G, it gives a little change, not much, so I dont like it anymore. Thanks anyway.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
Bro! I made a .zip with all the Dolby components based on what I saw on the ROM's structure, Can I share It? It is only 2 MB Fully working on .167
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
I think it's better to ask the developer of the rom if you want to share it. :)

I made a flashable zip also. Tested working on all 167 fw custom rom including MiUi. ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Superb battery life with this Rom..Like the z3
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
You're right ;) i had superb battery life without optimize,freeze apps or greenify....i will test someday :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
yes the battery in this rom is awesome .. how did you made the navbar icons in this size?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
I didn't change them at all. Its stock. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hussein1:
I can install this ROM for Lock bootloader?:p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Yes
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
can you share you aroma choices with us?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
It was chinese, i didn't understand anything. I followed some steps like the OP said
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
USB transfer not working here (PC doesn't make any sound when attaching the device). Anyone else with the same problem? I'm using multirom...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
You must install the drivers,Z3 drivers
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Still not working. I was using Androplus V21c (which comes with the rom if you choose skip official kernel) and also not working on latest Androplus v21d version. I'll ask in the kernel thread.

Edit: it seems to be a rom-related issue.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Rom probably doesn't support any custom rom for z2(for z3 system not compatible with custom kernel for z2...?) ... Because for me usb transfer works(pc recognize phone with z3 profile) . i use stock kernel and locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Yes, it has to be the key.

I should try flashing stock kernel, but I need it packed in a zip since I can't flash a ftf (because of multirom). I will look for it.

By the way, LTE works fine here, and also I keep the drm functionalities :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
My battery stats. High usage, 3G and wifi
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Yes ,you can try this :) LTE is always works for me very smoothly..you can share your modem configuration? Because lacking LTE of someone... And i think is a modem conflict ( i use 3.12 modem and it works).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
To be honest, I don't know what modem I'm using. The last ftf I flashed was .314 primer to root, unlock bootloader, install multirom. Even this rom is my third rom in multirom, so I guess it's using the modem in the main rom (which is .314 I think). How can I Check it?

Battery life by now is incredible here too.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Settings> phone info and check baseband.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Thanks. Here it is.

Which one is it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
It's the same of mine...it seems the newest modem (3.12)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Probably it comes with envi v2.2 rom which I use as main rom.

So I'll try to flash 3.12 kernel to solve USB issue. Charging time is also slooooow.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
The charging time ,for me it's the slowly same (3 hours or 3 hours and half) ...the charging time of xperia z2 is normally slow =.= i use original charger
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Trust me, it's even much slower, I think It's the same issue with the pc-usb connection.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I think that too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
actually my phone takes 2 hours to 2 and 30mins to charge .. i installed the rom on a clean 3.12 ftf

my charger is EP880
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Mine usually takes that too with the original 1.5A charger. 2 hours and a half.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
Problem solved swapping this rom to main rom in multirom :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
If I choose don't wipe anything, will I have issues? I'm on stock 167 with DRM Fix patch and Odex
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I had issues with dirty flash (unstability with google play services and no working back button) and you must probably install 3.12 modem for a working lte
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
And I have AndroPlus kernel for z2, have I need AndroPlus kernel for z3?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
I think the z2 one is ok. If you read all thread , it works. The problem of usb\slow charge discuss in this thread is MultiRom compatibility related. But i don't know because i have lock bootloader . You can try with z2 AndroPlus...if you have problems...try z3 one:p
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
Thanks :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
you're welcome:)

today i try this mod for who is tired of low light flash led : http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-torch-boost-led-power-using-z1-t2886705 it works...i try the RECOMMENDED! version and led bright a lot now! :D i remember with my galaxy s3, the camera led was very brighter than z2...now the xperia z2 have a very brighter led ;) :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Some question here.I didn't flash the recovery.zip so I don't have recovery right now.(I have root) Tried nut dual recovery,didn't succed.

Is it maybe because i choose recovery for the Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
This ROM looks good. I want to give it a shot,coming from eXistenZ 4.5. Is there any much difference apart from the icons looks and the few additions like Dolby?

Has anybody tested the camera,is it any way better?

One Noob question:If i do a nandroid backup of existenz before flashing this rom,its going to backup EVERYTHING including my apps+data,right? and i would just flash it back if i want right?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
[MENTION=4983761]Abdl[/MENTION]

Yes that is correct just make a back up with CWM/TWRP Recovery and you can restore it + your data and apps ;)

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
I'm using this rom with androplus z2 kernel. Working fine.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
But I still don't get something. The nandroid backup manager says it needs about 5gb of storage whereas in the storage settings it shows apps alone using up about 6gb
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
This is what i do.

1. Backup all app & data from existenz with titanium backup.

2. Then i save titanium backup.apk in my ext sd card.

3. Make full wipe and flash this rom.

4. Reinstall titanium backup from sd card.

5. Restore app data.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Anyone can help how to install recovery,i have root
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
Anyone face network signal drops in this rom?

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

if your problem is you lost the recovery .. I lost the recovery too and the only fix i found was redo the whole root method from installing 4.4.2 to installing pre rooted package 4.4.4 3.12

don't forget to install recovery after installing any custom rom and before reboot so you don't lose the recovery

you can try the recovery installer too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
Why did you choose dpi 36?

what would happen if i choose a different one
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Rajeev:
36 dpi means ur navigation bar size.. 36 is just a perfect size.. Default is 48 and its big.. If u choose different one means it will change the size according which dpi u choose....

U need a smaller navigation bar means choose any small size...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kirpeace:
After flashing dual recovery stops rom at bootlogo. Earlier flashing rom was working without flashing dual recovery

.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
I can't get it to work too.I think we must go back on 4.4.2 to install it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
Same issue here. Going back to existenz ASAP,totally not worth the hassle
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
Just update from 167 stock, without wipes (first option), everything works fine, but we haven't update center :o

36dpi on installation, and change to 424dpi on screen
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
+1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stigmes:
after instaling the rom , all is perfect exccept wifi, after close my phone when open it lost wifi signal and mus be open it again and again

any ideas ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zavpasha:
It`s seems than you need to check Preference of you wifi, maybe it`s on safemode (turn off when display off...)

Try It.... maybe it helps
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
Ambient sensor doesn't work, I came back to stock Z2 after 1 week used Z3 firmware, it does all same things like Z2 firmware, doesn't have any specially.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
Does anyone got this issue? If no, it's my mistake, I think the sensor has been broken cause by bionic and dalvik optimized, it makes my phone can't rotate (accelerattion sensor was broken) on Z2 firmware 167. (update) and abient light sensor, compass and I think many things relate to them.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
For me is working but in min auto light , sometimes it isn't very bright....but if you increase a little the auto light bar, the phone has the normale bright.It is a bug or not...the light sensor give sometimes less light than the stock z2 firmware ,but for me works;) In outside moments i haven't any problem,light sensor is working normally.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
Me too, before flash qualcomm optimized, ambient sensor still works and the brightness is less than Z2 fw, I think because the screen of Z3 has more lighter (700nits) than Z2 (~450-470nits).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
I don't know.. I'm using lux dash I think it's best option.

It's more fast (not much), battery I think is the same, but it's more cold..

What is bionic? And what is the link to flash qualcomm optimized?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
You can read in #1 of this thread, IMO don't flash anything, Sony stock firmware has included them and makes it compatible with each devices, I flashed Z3 bionic&dalvik and many sensor were gone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
OMG.. Maybe you need flashed z2 bionic and dalvik, not z3.. You know.. Hardware, software.. Just like kernel, you need z2 kernel, not z3.. I guess.

Now I'll be waiting for lollipop I can't move more right now, just waiting with this configuration :D thanks, I don't flash bionic and dalvik, I like the ext4 performance optimization, I applied before to flash this rom on z2 stock 167 and it was amazing
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
Z2 bionic&dalvik is taken from Z2 firmware, why do we have to flash it LOL. I see nothing different on Z3 fw compare with Z2 one, even I can get a better result in battery (15h usage with 100% WiFi on and 7h SoT while still have 20%)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nhoc_huhu:
I think u should flash file for z2, because your kernel still of z2
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
It has been already included so no need to flash again. Hi fellow-countryman :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] showlyshah:
any one noticed any camera improvement in low light?

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

coz z3 camera have 12000 iso, while z2 have 6400 . it may be found on superior auto mode. please check it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RyTekk:
If compare with Z3 phone, Z3 hue is more cold tone, Z2 runs Z3 fw I see no difference, just wait for Lollipop, that time Sony will separate Camera dev team from Software dev team to improve quality and exploit 100% camera hardware.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
I really hope camera will be good in lollipop,coz now z2 is probably the worst high end smartphone when it comes to low light performance.

Anyways,any fix for the bootloop after flashing rom and recovery??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sh4d1t0:
It's not to bad in low light compared to other devices, z3 don't shoot to 12000 iso on superior auto, you need go to manual on 8mpx and select superior iso, z2 with DRM keys works perfectly on low light, or if you need unlock you can restore the functions with DRM Fix patch.

I really hope they active RAW on lollipop, I saw some photos on oneplus one using RAW and it's so amazing
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stanley08:
Anyone got a mirror link? Thanks ;)

Update: Nvm. Downloaded it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Abdl:
Please can someone proviide a fix for the bootloop that happen after flashing the rom followed by flashing recovery
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stigmes:
i make full reset and now its ok, !! thanks for help

You are welcome
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
Network signal drops .. Anyone?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Me too. I'm going back to 4.4.2 because of cwm.

Anyone knows will it be a problem to flash Z2 firmware in flashtool because I'm affraid it will brick it because of z3 drivers?!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
i think it should work .. you can delete the rom using PhilZ recovery then install ftf rom if you are worried
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
I don't have recovery. That's the problem,only root
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
that's weird situation i don't know how to fix really because the only fix for recover was reinstall 4.4.2 ftf

hope you will figure it out
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] stanley08:
Why are you guys going back to 4.4.2 and not 4.4.4?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kumbangdesa:
This rom is stable. I like it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] juanmaasecas:
The only bug I've found is built in picture editor, which isn't working here. Do you have any problem with it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
i will stay with this rom and will not downgrade to 4.4.2. if i didn't find a fix for the network signal problems i will try moonwalker rom

it's working here
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
I downgraded to 4.4.2 with flashtool and I think the camera app +camera performance was way better with 4.4.2 . The battery life was good with this z3 rom but the 3G and 4G stopped to work for me.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
Can someone port this Roms lower brightness to any 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ?

It gives so much better battery
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
I did install this ROM and used it for a day.. All the features were working fine and it was smooth. But LTE was not stable.. It worked only once after I flashed 3.12 TW rom modem+kernel+bootbundle using flashtool. After that I couldn't get LTE.. It was staying on 3G all the time. I tried to change the network mode manually by going to service menu. But no use. So I had to come back to 3.12 TW rom again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] madmiths:
Does anyone having problem with voice call (low voice).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
Baseband/modem on stock z2 firmware ends in 12 on this rom 21, has anyone tried flashing just the baseband/modem for Z2 167 firmware. Maybe that will fix LTE, i have an ftf i can extract the problem is im not at home and away from a pc to try.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] omar300:
Thanks first of all

Secondly no issues of LTE with me. I'm locked boot loader so I had to flash kernel at the end. So I took opportunity to flash baseband as well. May be that will fix your issue.

Also I noticed my speakers are screaming loud now. Is that happening with others as well?

I'm very happy.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] beni8978:
What kernel and baseband did you flash?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
I Had a lot of network signal problems and drops .. back to 4.4.4
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] omar300:
Kerel from : D6503_23.0.1.A.3.12_Customized_TW

Baseband from: D6503_17.1.A.2.55_Generic CA

also for people reporting about issues with network. flash the baseband released for your country.

i noticed the taiwan baseband was no good either, so i flashed baseband from ftf for Canada and sure enough the 3g is having no hiccups anymore.

and my phone is D6503 CA version.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
i am on stock ftf 3.12 .. if i flashed baseband released for my country, will that cause any problem in receiving OTA updates? LP update for example.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dyepnoodle:
No. Baseband/Modem doesnt have anything to do with software updates. If you receive an update then the baseband will be reverted back to whatever baseband included on the firmware you are using. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bn Waheed:
and will flashing modem wipe anything?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] omar300:
just make sure the flashtool has both all wipe checkbox = unchecked.

and you shouldnt need any wiping. modem has nothing in relation to system or normal usage.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xPoiled:
