You mean ambient display? If i turn it off, put display side on table, then take it - screen goes on.

For any function, check CM gerrit.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] happiness4u:
Very nice. I'm gonna try it in a while. Hope you could maintain updating this build, as myfluxi's return for 12.1-caf is indefinite 'cuz his device was broken. :) +1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] happiness4u:
Wow! Just wow! Just tried your rom. I was surprised it was smooth and very responsive! :) But same issues as myfluxi's CM12.1-caf build, the volume button to skip track ain't working when ambient display is on while screen is locked and some minimal FC's with settings app, but very tolerable. I'm just missing something, I'm using GoogleCamera as my default camera, and it's missing the HDR+ function. Maybe it's because of my Gapps (Original PA Gapps 5.1). I have hdr on my CM12-caf with PA Gapps 5.0. If you have HDR working, kindly share what Gapps package do u use. :) +1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nook'r:
The ROM is snappier and faster, not bad for 1st build. No FC or any errors while testing and making phone calls.

Few things that i found:

Stock Camera app has more options like panoramic, sphere. etc.

the camera app with this Rom has only: camera and video

I am not that crazy about CM bootanimation... just saying :)

The major problem is that i couldnt flash Gapps from CM12.1, i was getting error about updater-script in TWRP. i downloaded the latest gapps-L-4-15-15.zip

So now i had to go back to stock
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Snoop05:
I used BaNkS GAPPS from euroskank.

gapps-L-4-9-15.zip - this one worked for me without problems. Im uploading it, so check the download link on devhost.

EDIT: happiness4u, HDR+ works
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Slacker:
Got it up and running, dirty flashed over cm 12 unofficial, no issues everything looks good thanks for your efforts.

Edit.. Two minor issues, had the "no service" graphic glitch a couple times, seemed like rebooting was a toggle for the graphic, had the empty triangle, rebooted, had the LTE graphic, rebooted again and had the empty triangle... and so on, never any signal problem though.

Second minor thing was supersu (2.4.6) said it needed a binary update but couldn't update, assuming because there is no update for 2.4.6 , solution was to reflash 2.4.6 zip.

Tutorial - Root for LP - Unlocked bootloader

Here is the process I did get to the root, it was exactly that way.

1 - Install via fastboot Z2_desperanto_AdvStkKernel_690_v.2

-> http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/root-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816

2 - Download the last superSU and place in the SD Card

-> http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

3 - Enter the recovery mode and install the superSU.

4 - Make the wipes.

Ready! Root and recovery.

Finally did the flash v7 abricot kernel

This was how I could

Hi guys,

I've installed and configured the Chrome Remote Desktop app on my Galaxy S4 and I can connect to my pc perfectly, but then I try to type something nothing happens. I've tested typing on notepad, word, and other programs...I double tap on the place where I want to type, then I select the keyboard icon and the keyboard pops up, then I start typing and the keyboard does respond but nothing happens on the remote desktop...unless I can fix this this app is useless. Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLittleTX:
Chrome sometimes has a bad behavior, also the plugins with the remote PC not always work.

You need to uninstall the program, clean data, and re install again.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

The best thing to do if you want to start fresh is to download and install a previous KitKat fastboot image of CM11S and then install the official Cyanogen OS 12 Lollipop OTA zip you have linked above through CM Recovery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bilhouse:

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Actually not true. Both are the full factory image and can be flashed even after wiping /system and /data. The difference is the TWRP version has been modified by removing a script so it will work reliably when flashed with TWRP.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bilhouse:
Those aren't fastboot images which he linked.

STEPS TO INSTALL CM12S OFFICIAL ROMS (IF you are running CM11S)

Firstly ensure that your Oneplus One device has the bootloader unlocked and you have the latest build of TeamWin Recovery Installed which is

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img

Threads to install this can be found on xda

Next you need to do the following

1. Switch of your phone

2. Press down volume button and power button

3. Enter TeamWin recovery

4. Wipe factory data reset

5. Install / Flash the CM12S file which is openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon (584MB) - hope you have downloaded this from the the link given on this thread by Taufiq.

PS:Important thin to remember if you are getting an error while flashing this ROM file then you first need to update your TeamWin recovery version.

I was on 2.8.0.1 and it gave me an error to install this, but when I updated the Teamwin recovery to 2.8.5.1 and tried to flash it it worked perfectly fine.

All the best and enjoy the official CM12S for Oneplus..It rocks!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] raphonline:
Hi all,

sorry for that newbie question, but while I am living in UK, I got the british Orbit. Being German on the other hand, I would looooove WM6, especially in German (Language doesn't really matter, but e.g. the Keyboard layout would help!)

So - what to do to upgrade it? Will I really have to pay to get it CID Unlocked? Is there a workaround (NBHTool / UpgradeTool) or would I miss something that would be upgraded otherwise too?

Or shall I just call o2, ask them to unlock or replace it (the actual device)?

Or will the update be released for british orbits too (I'd probably rather wait a bit instead of spending money)...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] itschase:
If your device is o2 branded, you can download the update from o2 Germany's site and try the upgrade. The way the interface works for these OEM upgrades are very safe. If the program cannot or will not upgrade your Orbit to WM6, it will tell you - not destroy your device. Worst case, just wait for o2 UK or HTC to release WM6, but I think having CID unlock is just a good idea in general because it open so many doors for you. its all the cooked, or otherwise modified ROMs that you have to watch out for. Not everyone has the same concept of 'stable platform'.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] raphonline:
It is o2 Branded, but unfortunately o2 UK, so it does not accept the German release (tried yesterday) - one way or another, preferring to have WM6 in German, I guess I couldn't avoid the unlock, could I?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] itschase:
If you want the Deutsche sprache ROM right now, then yeah, then unlock seems to be the way. I want mine to be in English, so I am going to wait for o2 UK or HTC.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] McBright:
same **** with mine. I want to change it from Deutsch to English, so i'll wait for the UK o2 release. Do u know if i will (i suppose based on the opposite tries) be able to flash mine German O2 orbit to the UK version. I hate it like that really much.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] itschase:
With CID Unlock I was able to get the OEM HTC rom onto my German Orbit in English. There is a write up somewhere on how to do it. You have to use this program that Hex edits the files of the HTC rom and allows it to load in conjunction to having the phone CID unlocked.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] saurabh_badhwar:
Just creating this thread so that users can find the lollipop review at one place. So please write your initial experience with the lollipop firmware here.

Here is mine:

1. The user interface feels very smooth and snappy.

2. More amount of free ram in comparison to kitkat firmware(getting around 750 mb free in comparison to 500mb in kitkat)

3. Camera feels more or less the same

4. No XLoud

5. Now there is a sound played when the phone starts up

6. Power management is superb. Now we have ultra stamina mode.

Update: Those asking for battery life, I am getting nearly 6 hrs of SOT which is comparatively higher than what I got in kitkat
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] datagubben:
Its nice for sure.

-Eye candy

-Very good battery life

-Xperia stuff (Camera, widgets etc) not available on other ROMs

-Rooted and applied sound mod and I am happy (almost as good as fauxsound).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
battery draining a bit fast here. maybe a setting i'm missing.

What's you setup, if you don't mind me asking please?

I have stamina mode and extended use enabled, disabled adaptive brightness, and unistalled almost all the sony bloatware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
My Experience:

1. UI is so smooth

2. Battery life more or less the same with KitKat, need more testing.

3. Device seems a bit warmer. Don't know why.

4. PS Remote Play is available for XZU now (at least in Indonesian version) :) unfortunately no PS4 so boo hoo for me :(

5. Camera.. Yes still the same, no improvement

6. Small App getting closed on Back Button :( (shame that originally in Kitkat it didn't but because Z3 does close the small app on back button)

Overall very happy for it :) Feels like having new phone all over again :cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] datagubben:
Im comparing to other Lollipop ROMs (eg CM12.1) for our Togari which don´t have Stamina mode, stock with stamina is way better than any other ROM.

But of course rooted now!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
How were you guys able to root?

What procedure did you use? I lost root when I updated to L using PC Companion.

I have a locked bootloader btw.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] saurabh_badhwar:
Just wait for sometime. Let the system settle. Hopefully the battery life will be better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] datagubben:
At the moment no root for locked bootloader, have you checked if you are able to unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
I have not tried unlocking the bootloader since all I am after is root.

As I understand, unlocking the BL is required only if you are flashing a custom ROM?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] datagubben:
Not really, unlocking gives you the possibility to root and install recovery and the optional possibility to install ROM.

Unlock your bootloader man! :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andre Verissimo:
Wait... at least in 4.4.4 many users (including me) with LOCKED bootloader were rooted, with recovery and had the optional possibility to instal LB ROMs... and it seems in Lollipop some people are getting the same also if they update to Lollipop following certain steps. Anyway, soon we'll probably have root for all locked bootloader users, so this is a matter of preference! :good:

I had a handset with unlockable bootloader before with my mobile operator, I never do that again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I would consider trying to downgrade to 4.4.4 first where you can root without unlocking bootloader. That will allow you to back up TA partition before unlocking bootloader.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shadowcore:
I dont care about warranty really.

Once I get lolipop for Z ultra, if I ask for bootloader unlock, would I lose the DRM keys for the camera and sony TM features?

I dont care about custom roms ever since my last phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I never unlocked but I've been rooted since almost D1, and I know all LP bells and whistles are a way to keep me wanting for (root) more, but soon I'll be waiting for a way to root. I'm not a fan of unlocking simply because every time you have to keep up with backup, restore, wipe etc.

I unfortunately have little to no time for this kind of tinkering these days, and I can't afford to pass a single day without phone (because you possibly mess up once in a while).

I'll root when the time comes, in the mean time:

*I don't care about the launcher, if you want there's plenty of themes (including several here on XDA) that resemble the stock LP launcher, so if you're into it, go for it

*UI is EXTRA smooth, not one time the launcher refreshed or had me waiting 1 sec to go back to. *Multitasking is super fast, and thank to God (for my toddler) I'm able to pin one single app to stay until I say so

*Smart unlock works a charm and my SW3 is paired and set as trusted so I seldom have the need to unlock with a pin or pattern

*Battery is fine, seems to drain like 15% less than KK

*Multi user is finally here, so my daughter can play with games without messing with my progress in them or snooping around

*Ultra stamina mode is one thing I'll rarely use, but it's a welcome addition, who knows, maybe it'll save my Ass when I'll need it the most

*Couldn't care less about PS4 remote play (and on my C6833 it still shows as not compatible), because I have a Vita and I like to play on my 55" Bravia TV anyway

*really welcome to the "restart, screenshot and record screen" buttons on the power menu, one thing they added straight from Gravitybox :)

I still don't understand why the hell Sony doesn't give us tap to Wake, it will make a lot of people happy...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
Okay, working fine now, just install 2.8.10 version of nut's dual recovery ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
I would probably wait for a way to root Lollipop without unlocking the bootloader since doing so does not mean I gain root access.

I am not seeing any post from where I looked as to how to root this firmware even with an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks and regards everyone!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wrxdrunkie:
I also have some more testing to do but while I love the update I have noticed:

-Battery life seems worse (I had to recharge a couple of times yesterday)

-UI speed is inconsistent. Sometimes it is really fast and others it bogs down.

-I have been getting home launcher reloads which is unfortunate.

I love the new design though. Overall the phone definitely seems to chug on me more though.

Let's hope 5.1.1 solves this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Guerrick:
Rolled back to 4.4.4 in the end

Hello everyone,

After having used Lollipop for one month, here's my feedback:

+

Nice UI

Notification system revamped

-

Multitasking useless: apps keep reloading constantly in the background.

Overall sluggishness (linked to the previous bullet point).

Impossible to have a Skype conversation while browsing on Chrome - Skype crashes. The same happens with Spotify.

Bluetooth connection not steady: small cuts while listening to music (doesn't occur on 4.4.4).

I'm really disappointed by this update. I don't believe 5.1 will improve anything.

I tried a factory reset, wiped the cache of applications, did a reboot with the volume up pressed, rooted and used the memory leak fix Xposed module even though it was supposedly fixed in 5.0.2. Nothing helped. My phone felt old and unpleasant to use.

I wonder if there is a way to bring this whole thread to Sony's knowledge?

It is a real shame to leave users with almost a final version of the software that renders the phone inefficient.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
You think they would care? Answer me this: Do you see any way to submit bugs to sony? Has *ANYONE, EVER* gotten an answer about a problem in sony's software, FROM sony?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Well, not on these terms they haven't.

But let's not forget that in the last 3 years Sony has managed to update every phone on the Z series where other OEMs have not.

And let's not forget that Sony is one of few devs who has a GUIDE on how to unlock the bootloader, and has an entire team who develops AOSP for guys willing to try.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Guerrick:
Indeed that's what makes Sony so particular, these are facts that can't be denied.

The effort of updating old devices is quite appreciable but it's such a shame it doesn't work almost flawlessly. Updating and realising that your phone has got slow is more than unpleasant.

Not to mention that still a few months ago, I was still very hesitant to flash my phone. "Normal users" (that is to say, people not familiar with root, flash...) would have kept Android 5.0.

For my part I decided to rollback and I don't regret my decision... I only regret that I can't enjoy the latest Android release on my ZU which has still quite a decent hardware with its S800.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
I don't care what the version number is. I care about bug fixes. I care about the company listening to what the users complain about. Recompiling the source tree and releasing it does not really do it for me.

What good is a newer version if features and options are removed, if all bugs are carried over and new bugs are introduced?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thegidz:
So anyone else got the 5.1.1 update? It seems to solve Stagefright vulnerability. Also it seems there's less problem with memory leaks. At least I have to reboot less often than 5.0.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Silver-7:
I got 5.1.1 via OTA update.

There's no compare to 5.0, this 5.1.1 is much much better in every aspect, device is way smoother now, no memory issues, no lags.

One thing about the sound, it got louder and better with headphones, but got lower with speaker.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thegidz:
Just found a problem with the 5.1.1 firmware with my phone. If I have at least one app moved to SD card, when you attempt to reboot, it will boot once then while in the middle of the boot up it will reboot again, will continue but will go back to that "Optimizing your applications" thing. It's a horribly long wait. :( So I have no choice but move back all apps to internal memory for now until the bug gets fixed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ikeyvan:
- Fast and smooth UI

- More free ram

- Camera low light performance improved and can take brighter shots in lowblight conditions (superior auto) - Quality and noise same as 4.4.4

- No Camera stopped bug

- Recoeded videos are smoother (Idk)

- Great feuters like Move Apps to SD and Record Screen - Ultra Stamina Mode - Headset setting profiles

- Third party file manager apps can modify SD card contents

Its so much better than 4.4.4
