Anyone tested on 6802? I assume it works but at least the last CM builds required a modem flash for 6802 owners.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Simple fix, download an alternative launcher such as Nova Launcher. In my opinion it's the best launcher with the most amount of customization including increasing or reducing icon size. The default icon size was 100% and I increased it to 115% since they were indeed too small!

FWIW, I grabbed the US 14.5.A.0.242 using Xperifirm, turned it into an FTF using FlashTool, then made a flashable rooted zip with [NUT]s dualrecovery 2.8.9 using PRF creator 0.8, installed xposed 3.0alpha2 and rebooted successfully. EDIT: Gravitybox 5.0.7alpha causes bootloops.

Does Lollipop break anything on 6806? I run stock 4.4.4 rooted and do not feel like I am missing anything, so I would rather not bother unless there is a compelling feature.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
It mentioned changing the firmware. Will I be able to flash back to kitkat or another rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Here are some things

You can use xposed on this. You have to flash it via recovery and boot up, install the alpha apk. See the official thread etc.

I was able to goto kitkat, I think you have to goto 4.4.4 then choose your next rom.

Thanks for the port, really appreciate it. Now I have lollipop, ps3 controller support, and xposed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] atorbo:
Hello is this compatible 6833
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I have to say, so far it as good as 4.4.4 so give it a shot
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
Didn't work for me, tried coming from stock 4.4.4 and from 5.0.2, hotbooted doom, flashes in literally 2 seconds, says "success" when in fact it literally did nothing at all
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I had this issue aa well.

Here is how I solved it myself.

Basically I went from 4.4.4 to this rom, then I flashed scrubber port. Than I wanted to go back to this rom and it flashed in like 2 seconds I was like wtf. I believe it's the new firmware.

So my advice is flash a stock rom 4.4.4 in this case I flashed the stone rom which is slim version of pure stock. After I flashed it, I booted up and then flashed this rom and it worked. So I understand.

Maybe he should update op. In order to flash this rom, you need to be on stock so the new firmware sets in.

Your welcome.

I did it through twrp

I take back what I wrote earlier about xposed working. The phone reboots successfully immediately after flashing the zip, but bootloops after any reboot afterwards, making it fairly useless if you update or add any modules afterwards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I have xposed on my phone and haven't experienced any issues. Did you flash the zip and use the alpha apk? Right now I'm using 1 module and everything is fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Is this the "bootloop if ART cache isn't wiped" bug?

According to reports about other Sony modified Lollipop ROMs, it seems like ART cache wipe (Dalvik cache in recovery) is necessary for proper boot when Xposed is installed.

You can easily verify if this is the case by doing the wipe: if it boots properly afterwards, then the same thing is happening with this update as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
This is indeed the case. It's going to get a bit tedious waiting 15mins every reboot, but it's better than not having Xposed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I myself being a noob am curious how this happened to you.... I got xposed on this rom without a single issue.

Did you flash the zip via recovery and install the alpha apk?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
I installed the 0308 xposed zip from rovo89's read only thread via TWRP and used the alpha2 apk from the same page.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Not for me, wiped system, cache & data, reinstalled the ROM, then xposed. Still restarts mid-boot unless I wipe ART cache even if no modules are installed or active.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Typo.. You can used extreme volume mod. Just make sure you backup your old mixer paths and delete then add the modified one. You can't overwrite it, it won't work that way.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

You're not supposed to wipe.

Go back to 4.4.4 and reinstall this ROM. It comes with philz, just flash the zip folder and install the alpha apk. Then get your modules.

Fix for Xposed

A quick google of the issue with other Xperia's and it appears that the issue lies in Sony's obsessive use of bloatware. I uninstalled around 30 apps, and my xposed problem no longer persists. Theres a list in the forums somewhere of the apps safe to uninstall. Hope this helps :)

Testet on C6833. Everything is fine but mobile data won't work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cashif:
Have been using the ROM for past week and am very happy with the ROM; smooth, fast and everything works as it should.

Having said that, battery drain is high for me when the screen is ON. I lose only 2-3% overnight (Whereas it used to be 20+% in CM ROMS) but I seem to lose battery very quickly once the phone is used. I would be very happy if I were to get 24 hrs but am getting around 18 hrs with full charge (Used to get 12-13 hrs with CM12 ROMS). The main culprit seems to be Google Fit & Android Wear and both are related to my Moto360; any suggestions to improve battery?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Don't forget to apply the audio data wipe before changing the mixer paths, as it will not work. I still think the kitkat one is louder, but this one does help on the battery. No need for viper4android.

I have rooted 14.4.A.0.108 with dual recovery and a locked bootloader.

Can I just flash this zip from recovery and then install Xposed and use Titanium to restore my modules?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Since this is a stock rom it should flash just fine.

As for modules not all of them work on lollipop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
Will this work as a secondary ROM in multi ROM I have never used a Sony ROM on this phone interested to see what it looks like lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
Do I need to uninstall/deactivate Xposed first?

I read I should be flashing Xposed and then installing the alpha apk or something along those lines? Can someone please elaborate on this part? Lollipop without Xposed isn't worth Lollipop to me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
You have to de-bloat your phone. So install the rom, which comes with root and recovery. Take the crappy apps off etc. Have the alpha zip ready boot into recovery and install the zip, reboot your device and install the alpha apk.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
Am I installing the alpha over the existing xposed then? Because no one has said anything about wiping
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
When I did this I did a complete factory reset, everything.

So I would format your internal. Flash the rom, boot up. Remove stock apps. Reboot into recovery and install the xposed zip reboot install the alpha apk done.

People have had issues with xposed and bootloop. If you want the best result do as I said. I have done this 3x now with no issues.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
Yeah I ended up boot looping and having to clear my dalvik.

I'm wondering what apps to uninstall now to avoid this happening.

Now that I've already flashed Lollipop and the Xposed zip, what should I be doing? I should add, I dirty flashed the zip (didn't wipe any data before flashing)

Not sure, I would honestly go into recovery and wipe data cache and reflash the rom
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
So I really don't understand what the problem I am facing is.

I am able to install Xposed and modules without it going into a bootloop; I narrowed down the modules that result in being unable to boot.

The big problem that I have is that as soon as I install the Xposed framework, my internet starts having issues; I am unable to open any https:// websites as I am met with an SSL error.

Everything works great until I flash the zip from recovery using TWRP.

Does anyone have any idea why this is? I really need Xposed to work otherwise this entire process was totally futile.

I've literally flashed the ROM about eight times today and finally narrowed the problem down to the installation of the framework itself - no idea why it would result in SSL errors in chrome, but without being able to browse sites like Facebook and Dropbox, it is pointless having Xposed - but at the same time, I should be able to have Xposed AND visit the websites I want to visit.

Please HELP.

Thanks!

Without sounding like a total n00b, is there any way at all you can simplify this? Or put it in layman's terms? (The guide in the URL) I don't really understand what I need to do.

I have flashed the original Xposed zip from recovery and installed alpha 3, but I can only get one module to work at a time without it going into bootloop and having to use the terminal to disable Xposed.

What do I need to do to make Xposed work? It's frustrated me ALL day long - I've literally flashed the ROM about eleven times today, and I could not count how many times I've disabled Xposed through the terminal.

Please help me out here if possible - I know that I'm not as code savvy as most people on XDA, but I do try to do my part. I'd really appreciate the assistance.

You totally beat me to it. But, to answer his question, I would not look for any roms supporting Mobile 2003 on a Wizard. The hardware is 3 years newer than the 2003 software, and the Wizard was designed with specs specifically to support WM5.

Yeah I know :-) But I have another thread open in which I am looking for a

Even though it's pretty obvious, to keep yourself safe you may want to explain that you will not be held responsible if people forget to log out of their accounts and such.
