Hi Rajeev,

I found a strange bug on your ROM (It happen only with your ROM). Perhaps others users has it too...

Subject : H264 Video rendering in HW mode on Pure XL ROM with LBE Security Master (all versions).

Note : LBE SM is a very good and famous security app for android.

Simptom : With a fresh install of the ROM (whatever version) The video playback (using HW accelerated) with every Video App is OK. When I install and use LBE SM the HW acceleration is gone. It happens with every video and specially with the ones taken by the camera.

Some exemples :

Sony Video ; Black screen while playing

MX Video with HW+ : Stuttering video and desync audio

MX Video with HW : Black screen

MX video SW mode : Little stuttering (normal, not enouth CPU power to handle FullHD videos from the camera)

This symptoms are pemanent since we try to install LBE Security Master and remain even if we uninstall LBE SM.

The video HW rendering is off whatever the size (Full HD, HD, SD) and the codec used.

This Symptoms doesn't occurs with others ROMs (4.3, 4.4) you made or not.

Can you take a look to this problem?

Does dolby digital mod increase only headphones volume? Cause sound from main speaker is SOO low. I get used to Extra volume boost mod on kitkat. But i think its not compatible with lollipop.

I have Lock Bootloader and after flash v2.2 have bootloop here I have attached my log file
[Xperia Z Android Development] xhuy:
Thanks [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] for great job.

But I still got boot loop. After installation and reboot the phone stuck with Sony logo and loop. I did flash the ROM v2.2 several times but thre're still that problem.

My XZ is locked bootloader, C6603 10.3.A.0.423 (4..4.2 ) rooted with recovery.

Please help. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
I flashed on top of 2.1. I am facing the Inconsistent UIDs pop ups when phone is starting. Never had this issue with versions 1, 2 ou 2.1 ...

How do I boot to TWRP to fix permissions ? (philz is the recovery that is choosen)
[Xperia Z Android Development] justover:
i have to confirm that after flashing rom 2.2 my xperia isn't booting but after i've flashed kernal and fotakernal from ftf via flash tool exactly as i did to v2.1.. it booted normally.. everything is so perfect so far. that's all for now and once again thank u Rajeev for all ur hard work and support.

here are some screenshots from my device on rom v2.2
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jay_B:
I Rajeev I am on V2.1 and have a strange problem. If I select go to recovery from Rashr I go to XZDR however when I switchoff the device n try vol up or down when the phone is starting it does not go to recovery.

Oh and I did a clean Install erased internal memory too just in case.

Also for ppl looking for more sound from external speakers plz try monivans mod it makes this Rom even better sound wise.
[Xperia Z Android Development] xhuy:
Where can I get that kernel? Can you give me a link?

Thanks you.
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
ya same for me here

downgraded many times back to 4.4.2 and then reflash it to 5.0.2 but doesnt work.

tried different options in AROMA as well but still does not boot up and stuck at sony logo.

have to temporarily use the phone on UB for now with custom CM rom as i need the phone for work tomorrow and its late. :(

hope rajeev can provide with a much more better fix in the future soon! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] justover:
yeah, my pleasure.. you have to download fif file from this link and then flash only kernal and fotakernal from ftf file via flashtool and then ur room will boot normally believe me i did that and everything went smooth and normal :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benben2a:
Hi dev,

after first and second install of v2.2 had a bootloop, i'll retry with flashing kernel like v2.1:confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
Can someone tell me what were the installation instructions which were available in first page (for version 1.0, maybe). I need the link which was pointed to a TWRP recovery and I can't find the it, and I need it to flash back a TWRP recovery and restore permissions.
[Xperia Z Android Development] xhuy:
[MENTION=6034536]justover[/MENTION]: thank you so much. I'm downloading the rom and will try your way.

------------>> It doesn't work that way :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:

[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:

[Xperia Z Android Development] tnciw:

sorry, i think i will have to go temporarily go back to 4.4.4 for now. :(.

will try your rom again over the weekend.

unless... there is another quick fix?

i cant go into recovery as well for now, which means i still need to go back to 4.4.2 to re-do all the steps on proper clean install.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Sorry for the issues dude.. I will try to fix this for LB users soon...
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
hi bro!

i currently am using your ROM in UB.

i flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/kernel-unlocked-bootloaders-t3114234

and then re-flash your ROM through the recovery from there.

AND to my surprised, it boots..

BUT then again i also unticked XPOSED, so im not sure if thats the cause of it?

I will try to tick XPOSED again and update here.

but then again i am on UB for now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] TrueFriend-cz:
Bugs v2.2:

CPU: Default is min and max CPU 1,134 MhZ. If change values in Performance Control app, after 1-3 min. change values aulutomaticaly back (Sony multimedia apps this no changed, after install i will now disabling).

Dolby Digital: New in 2.2.. after change switchers in double tick on Film/Music/etc.. advanced settings screen only after tick on switcher (bottom equalizer) automatically close settings window. If i want open repeat then Dolby app crash.

My profile: C6603, UB, Without Xposed, With Dolby Digital, all other modules default from Aroma

Please, god dev, fix it.

Edit: Point 2.has been fixed Linux mode change to Permisive
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:

[Xperia Z Android Development] imboy25:
Somehow, I managed to boot it in LB. What I did was downgraded to KK, then install dual recovery with root.

I flashed PureX L v2.2 without rebooting, then flashed the fix.zip immediately. After that, reboot. The first boot up took forever so i forced my phone to shut down by pressing vol up + power key (wait 'til it vibrates 3x). So now that it is off, I turned it on normally. Then boom! It booted properly. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Which fix.zip u flashed?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Set SELinux mod to Permissive and then u can use Dolby
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
Your fix I think :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] imboy25:
your fix bro https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzNI3uK7a9OVUzRqczRwSER6Y2c/edit?usp=docslist_api

yeah bro, you are right.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Ohh so its working.. Ha ha.. Thats it.. Thanks.. I will add to OP soon..
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
weird

its not working for me :(.

oh well i will be on UB for now. i guess.

since your ROM boots up too anyway. :)

thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] dosimple12:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
But UB users don't have any problems na? U flashed v2.2 from a UB? Did u select stock or custom kernel in aroma? I mean did u select UB or LB?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Only added full screen caller mod in 2.2.. Thats it..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Acudor:
Wow thank you for not forgetting my request :) keep up the good work my friend :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:

but doesnt work

although now im just using it as it is on UB. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
If you absolutely wanted to stay LB, flash his fix.zip after flashing the rom

Or flash mine via flashtool (signature) I suggest you, his fix for the first page, he added to OP,

All thanks for him ( [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] )
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
will definitely look into it this weekend

because i tried the method as well.

flashing the fix after flashing the ROM.

but it still stuck.

thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Are u on a UB now.. Right? So first relock it then try..
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
without formatting or anything?

just relock and flash the zip?

if thats the case i will try it this weekend. haha

thanks btw bro!

its already 2am and im done restoring my work apps at least. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
True what [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] said, want to flahs UB be Ub first,

want to flahs LB be LB first :P
[Xperia Z Android Development] AltairFriend:
I can confirm that the fix is works on my C6603 with locked boatloader.

I was on eXistenZ 3.5.5.

I flashed this ROM with full wipe then flashed the fix and the ROM successfully boot :fingers-crossed:

Thank you [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] for this ROM :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] asakurato:
Flashed rom, then fix, bootloop again.

Also, for some reason, internal storage was also wiped and I lost all my backups. I did only factory reset from recovery before installing rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
Asa are you UB or LB?
[Xperia Z Android Development] asakurato:
LB, C6602
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benben2a:
For me same thing, flash the rom and the fix but i've got bootloop too....

But for me, i've chance, my backup is on my sd card....
[Xperia Z Android Development] asakurato:
So why should rom wipe internal storage? I lost quite a lot of data
[Xperia Z Android Development] edwuard:
Bro don't know what you did i flash the rom 2 times never delete everything from my SD card so for me this not happen please stop spam here that the rom deleted your SD card for me LB flash the zip v 2.2 and then flash kernel from stock lollipop Central Europe and the phone works great .
[Xperia Z Android Development] edwuard:
When you wipe data to clean install the rom your internal memory is deleted with every rom bro asakurato so what is the point, am i lose something
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
Good night everybody, everytime you backup guys,

Backup on SD card, or make a save of your backups on computer if you don't have any sd card :)

Tommorow get up at 5h30, will be hard,

Already 11 PM :/

Goodnight :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjlm21:
I flash the V2.2 and your fix and everyting is ok.

I'm in Locked Bootloader

Well done bro and thank you for your amazing job
[Xperia Z Android Development] xhuy:
I did try several times:

1. flash the ROM and then the fix [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION]: bootloop

2. flash the ROM and the fix via flash tool [MENTION=5106933]Oxydeme[/MENTION]: bootloop

Mine is C6603, LB :(

Downgrading to 4.4.2 now and waitng for new method.

Thanks all.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
Guy I think I know what is the probleme for video playing, I experienced as well this prob,

I suggest you all complaining to take a look into the dev options in parameters section:

Nuplayer is experimental and ticked by default, just untick if from parameters ;)

See attachements ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjlm21:
Over what rom you flash the V2.2?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
[MENTION=235599]xhuy[/MENTION]

I there, should sleep but my sister's alarm failed and woke me up at two, should wake up in three hours to go to work eeek

Your lb and got a c6603 so one of the fixes should have work,

As i'm also lb and my fix (ft - franckly it's only kernel fota, rpm and some others + boot doc and meta inf doc compiled into ftf from official 5.0.2 ftf and after flashing v2.2 it should boot, i did this manner and it worked,

You flashed the rom + fix.zip then try to reboot (1st time)?

You flashed the rom then try to reboot or power off

And then

Flashed the ftf (2nd time) ?

Honestly bro it really should have worked :3

Can you explain in details how you flashed exactly?

(I ment Aroma part)

And which rom was installed just before?

Thanks in advance, [MENTION=5106933]Oxydeme[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z Android Development] xhuy:
Thank you all for your quick reply.

I downgrade my XZ to 4.2.2 (C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic ES) to root and make recovery. My XZ is LB.

Try [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] method:

Flash v2.2 --> no boot --> flash fix [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] --> boot --> bootloop.

So I have to flash the rom C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic ES again. Root & recovery and then try [MENTION=5106933]Oxydeme[/MENTION] method:

Flash v2.2 --> boot & turn off XZ (pres and hold volume down & power button till 3 times vibration) --> flash fix rom [MENTION=5106933]Oxydeme[/MENTION] --> boot --> bottloop.

I did both method for several times but always got the same result.

I'm thingking of the fault is ROM 4.2.2 so I will try with ROM C6603_10.6.A.0.454_HK (5.0.2)

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Oxydeme:
Bootloop at the sony or android logo or at the bootanim (long everlapsing bootanim)?

Maybe not related but have you tried the latest Nut dual recov?

Sorry man gonna (re)try to sleep, only two hours left :3
[Xperia Z Android Development] xhuy:
Thanks [MENTION=5106933]Oxydeme[/MENTION].

Bootloop always at the Sony logo :(

I tried latest NUT dualrecovery 2.8.18

Did you wait 6min or more
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Hei Friends

Don't know why it doesn't work for someone.. Pls follow all the instructions.. Its working in both C6602 and C6603.. And also pls stop complaining like i lost all after flashing this rom blah blah.. Its ur responsibility to take a backup of ur current files. Not mine.. So stop blaming..
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjlm21:
Doesn't understand, at the first time boot correctly with no problem.

Maybe them forgotten any step
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
U using C6603 or C6602?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjlm21:
6603 LB

I flash the rom, flash the fix, reboot and everything is fine
[Xperia Z Android Development] deerhurst:
Mine looped. C6606 LB. Installed ROM as 6603 as normal. Clicked for the Dolby and clicked in aroma for the fix for the C6603 and flashed the fix after.

Going to try again without Dolby.

Might be xposed then? Dunno, trying without dolby and exposed. I never use xposed so no loss for me. Its just getting close to time to go to work.

I have a message set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

Flash fix then hit reboot then it asks if I want to flash supersu. I say OK and then boot. Lets see if it works!

Im coming from TMobile .191 since I can towelroot it.

Nope, bootloop! Tried again with the other fix that is to be flashed from flashtool, nada; boot loop. Going back to the horrid 4.2 until I get back from work in the morning.

I appreciate your work Rajeev!

Hi,Rajeev.

Thanks for the excellent ROM.

Everything works fine.

How to enter recovery Rajeev bhai. Plz help.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tjlm21:
Download gravity box and enable advanced reboot in power tweaks
[Xperia Z Android Development] imm1304:
Hi Rajeev, I have the LB XZ C6616. For more than a year, I have been flashing roms for C6603 because the phones are basically the same. I have flashed and enjoyed all of your previous roms. I follow all the steps properly and I have not had any problems in the past with flashing new roms. But with this rom v2.2, I get bootloop. I am coming from 5.0.2 stock rooted by kingroot and the latest .18 dual recovery. I tried flashing rom then flashing fix then reboot and got bootstall (waited over 20 minutes but the screen remained black). I tried flashing the rom then power off and use flashtool to flash kernet + FOTA and phone still didnt boot.

I noticed that when I flash the rom in aroma.. it seems to complete too soon (judging from experience) and the last line in aroma is: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

I am suspecting that system may not be getting flashed. I will try downgrade to .230 and try one more time. Please advise if you have any ideas. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:

GOOD NEWS! Here is what I did: Downgrade to .230 and then flashed v2.2.. went thru Aroma.. took five times longer to flash this time. Then flashed your fix .zip and the phone is booting up as we speak. Looking forward to enjoying this latest rom now. Thank you :) :) :)

FYI: Mine is Bell from Canada... regular version.. T mobile is AWS version.
