Well bro, this work perfect , just flashed from stock Lollipop... here's some more steps that may help other people

1- if you're flashing from LP using the new XZD .17 or .18 you have to flash a KK kernel first with flashtool then boot directly to recover and flash this using [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] steps in what i quoted or on the OP (Thats what i did and i it worked for me)

2- don't leave recovery after flashing the rom , flash the fix zip 1st then reboot to system... after full reboot , reboot again to recovery and factory reset

3- If you are on KK i will advice you not to use the recent recovery version .16 or .17 or .18 , the difference in those version is that they're for LP and they still have some issue, so if you're flashing this from KK use a previous stable recovery version.

so basically just do the steps on the quoted text above by [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] , with just adding an extra step to flash the fix zip after flashing Rom.

So [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] after reading some of the posts in here i thought it'll be a very hard attempt at this, but it was really very strait forward, actually even for me 1st boot took 10 mins (if not less) and the rom itself so far is fast and appears to be stable, root works fine, recovery works fine, and all the added apps and features are fine ( ididn't install any AUdio enhancements though) >...Great great Work Bro

i have 2 questions, 1- can we have bravia engine 2 back , or have it as option 3 with X reality and Super vivid?

2- i don't really care for the steroe audio enhancement i just care for the outside speaker( the ringer) i used to have the following mod

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-volume-boost-xperia-z-t3115784

in the aroma i choose stock audio, can i add this mod?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
[MENTION=3927764]theduke7[/MENTION] mate

Thanks for the tips... Cool..

About Bravia Engine 2 i really don't know about it. It think its possible but really don't know.. And regarding sound mod yes u can flash that...

[MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION]

sir.. i have 1 problem here.. All video i have always lag play in Movies.. its stutter... how to fix it?? i read you has fix this problem.. but i dont know why.. i have this problem right now.. all video was LAG if i play them.. i hope you can help me :crying::crying:
[Xperia Z Android Development] theduke7:
it was mentioned before ... go to settings, and enable the developers options (in the about phone menu tap the build number 10 times) , then go back to settings and above about phone you'll find the developer option, go inside and go to the Media section , you'll find that Nutplayer is ticked by default, this is an experimental player, so untick this option and restart...

also people mentioned before an error that appears that Google play store stopped...this also happened to me after 1st boot, so the solution for this is, Go to APKmirror website , and Download the latest Google play store and Google play services, and install them... this will fix the issue.

and again [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] , after installing almost all my apps back now, and did few reboots, the rom is really stable and the boot time , time from reboot or from shutdown is fast, actually at least t me faster than stock...

also Xposed and Super User Mod are very well integrated, i flashed them before on stock LP, and it slow down the rom a little bit, but in this rom it very good... again m8 great work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benben2a:
I'll try it from 5.0.2 rooted and reco .18

edit it seems it works, cause it's booting (yeahhh good thing) but when have I to flash LP kernel???

Wait for your answer before make it
[Xperia Z Android Development] theduke7:
---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

LP kernel is flashed with this rom automatically , so if it's booting ok you' already did it :)

the steps for those who need it

if you're going to make a clean install from stock LP with recent recovery you have to flash KK Kernel before flashing this Rom, or any zip (PRF) rom, after flashing the kernel you have to boot to recovery directly not to LP System cause it's not going to work, in recovery do Rajeev steps like in my post, but after flashing also flash the fix zip... reboot to system, after full boot, reboot again to recovery and make factory reset (from recovery, don't worry it will not format your internal memory)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benben2a:
THx for your answer, i saw that LP kernel was flashed after i wrote my question.

It works fine for me, i'll try new features.

Use KK kernel before flash is a good option.

I add that reco .18 works fine too:good::good::good::good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] chrisftlse:
Hi Rajeev

First if all Many Thanks for your hard work to let us enjoying à terrific LP on out XZ.

I am currently running your KK custom rom since months and nothing to say except... perfect rom ;)

After following up all your dev and fix, I want to upgrade to LP and I just want to be sure that I will do the right thing in the right order.

So if I well understood:

- No need to upgrade Nuts recovery to .18 as still running à KK kernel

- Flash your LP zip and follow Arima install selecting my HW (LB, C6603)

- Flash your fix zip

- Reboot (1st boot and setup accents)

- Reboot in Recovery while pressing down button while vibrating

- Factory reset

- Reboot and set accounts

- Enjoy !!!

Am I right ?

Then I will be able to custom advanced power menu via exposed modules and keep root and recovery.

Thanks to confirm ;)

Many thanks again for your hard and lovely work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] theduke7:
your steps are correct just to verify..

after 1st boot you don't need to do anything just reboot recovery, because in recovery you'll do a factory reset so if you install or setup anything it'll revert back to default after that.

2nd i don't know about custom advanced power menu, but this rom is already rooted and have dual recovery, so after 1st boot (and after factory reset) you'll be rooted and have dual recovery , vol up goes to Philz Touch & Vol down to TWRP ... also exposed work fine so i think if the module you want is compatible with LP it will work
[Xperia Z Android Development] LordAbhilash:
Why is a Factory Reset needed after fresh installation?
[Xperia Z Android Development] chrisftlse:
Many Thanks TheDuke7

I am downloading and will perform the install process and report.

hei friend.. thx for your advice.. but this still happen in my device [MENTION=3927764]theduke7[/MENTION] i was try to untick the Nutplayer.. then restart my phone.. but this till happen.. always LAG if i play video.. maybe [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] can help me.. or other people :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Please read HELP DESK in OP ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] theduke7:
it's kind of cleaning and helps the rom to settle, even in normal Stock firmware update either from PC or OTA it's recommended to factory reset after (and before) flashing

in this case , the most important thing that it helps with the battery.

OK i tested on Sony video player and there's some stuter as you said... i think it's a codec issue, or HW rendering issue...

use MX Player with there codec , and disable HW+ and UW rendering , use SW ...it worked for me.

i don't know why it acts this way on Sony Player, but i will check it. and till you if there's any fix
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Friends

I am trying to make a bug free version for both LB and UB. Hope before next week i can make that.. And v2.3 will be a bug free rom for LB users so they don't need to flash any fix. v2.3 should be a full rom. And i am going to add a "Black Themed UI" in aroma. So black UI lovers can enjoy a black ROM in lolipop. Black UI is already done and its under testing.. ;)

Regards

Rajeev

I did try some others flashable ROM 5.0.2 and still get bootloop. So I didn't think that the bootloop problem due to [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] ROM fault.

So I didn't downgade XZ to C6603_10.5.A.0.230 (4.4.2) instaed of C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic ES (4.2.2) as usual.

Root and recovery 4.4.2 so easy with newest tools.

Finally, follow [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] instruction and everything is now OK. [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] made a great ROM.

Thanks [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] and your guy all for supportin here.

[MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] !!

brother. finally my phone booted on LB.

what i did was

1. downgrade to .67 -> root with towelroot and install an old 2.6.53 (or something) dual recovery

2. then i downloaded your 5.1 kitkat (4.4.4) rom, flashed it

3. then i used that version of recovery and flash your lollipop rom!

i guess my mistake was i flashed it on a very old version of recovery, hence making some flashes not complete

once again, thank you for an amazing rom!

it works even very well on UB, but im experiencing a little much battery drain but its okay, since i just flashed it the phone still needs time getting used to. :)

have to reconfigure it now!
[Xperia Z Android Development] deerhurst:
Does not work on the C6606 or at least my C6606. Cannot get past the Sony logo. I have tried every suggested fix in this thread with no different result. Ive even incrementally updated, tried with the fix, without the fix, with both fixes at differnt times, at the same time, different recovery managers and nothing. I cant be that dumb at this stuff, Ive been flashing ROMs on my tablet for years and even prerooting my own zips, Ive cooked windows mobile roms, etc. Just flashed a new update to 5.1 on my tablet today!

Any other suggestions for the C6606? I had come from a C6616 5.0 ROM and tried from a C6606 T-Mo rooted branded as well as your, Rajeev's, 4.4.4. Always the same failed to modify some files message.

Of course, i had put some Thanks in the OP :D

i trying to see in album some real difference but it shown nothing maybe because my device is UB.

Finally I installed the rom now

I want to share my way to install this amazing rom

first,I flash .67 ftf to get a recovery easily

after that, I install existen z 3.5.0(you can install any other 4.4 rom with recovery

then, boot the rom ,and go to recovery again

now, you will have all the conditions mentioned in the above posts

just follow the op's instruction and you can get your Xperia Z powered with this amazing rom!

all in all, thanks for your great work [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION]

Hi, it did not work for me every time I tried to flash this rom from stock lollipop. I have C6616. But, when I downgraded to KK 4.4.2 (.230) then towelroot and latest dual recovery. Then flashed the rom, exit aroma and flashed the fix. then reboot and I was able to get my XZ to boot. You can try it if you havent already. Good luck

press power button with vol up for around 10 second or until you feel 3 vibrations (1 then 2) , when this happens it means the phone is shutdown,

then use flash tool as usual.(open flashtool and click the lightning icon, choose rom, , connect usb to your phone while you are holding vol down. )

the following is a Flashtool guide , read it if you have issues flashing

Hey i was on the same case of you. try to let your mobile charged full. I had the same issues yesterday because battery was empty.

Let it charged full and re try to flash .454 in flashmod. maybe your mobilme wasn't turned off correctly : push vol- and power, wait one vibration, then 3 vibration then flash it

After you can root LP 5.0.2 directly, install XZDR .18

To install v2.2 : flash KK kernel, install v2.2 AND fix

reboot, return in reco make a factory reset and reboot..... Enjoy :silly:
