[MENTION=3983237]sw6lee[/MENTION], Well, it's not kernel related for sure.

I've got a lot of people reported that Xposed works fine.

You can always try, as long us you have flashable zip to disable it in case something goes wrong.

Sooner or later I will do more Ui modifications, so I will consider animation as an option.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
Please consider to make this great ROM multi DPI sir!!!

What cpu governor and I/O scheduler to u guys recommend for everyday use ? :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blazta:
This rom is perfect ? as it is. Rest of the visual stuff we can change with xposed(gravitybox and more). And the kernel is wounderful :D.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
CPU gov = slim

CPU voltage = +5

I/O = cfq internal and external
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gsusrm:
I have CPU ondemandplus, I/O noop and VOLTAGE 5+, I don't mind to charge twice on a day because I'm a hard user. For gaming with controller ? who is best configuration? What do you think, not performance I don't want to my phone get burned...:cool:

This is an important security path from me. I will include it in next update.

StageFright fix, even if you don't know what is it - still flash it.

[MENTION=3508509]vovanx500[/MENTION]

How is it when I update Project Desire for your ROM to version 3.2?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=6126659]PDesire[/MENTION], that would be nice!

But I switched from Sony Sound Enhancements to Viper, because it was not stable. Do you think it will still work, or I need to fix those for your mod?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PDesire:
I can let it work with Viper :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Can you also add DSEE-HX?

I think people gonna like it ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PDesire:
I can, but they must accept that is permanently enabled ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
That's not a problem ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PDesire:
Okay :) you will love the new Project Desire, so much changes for the perfect music experience :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
With faux sound controls for volume boosting this device is gonna rock for sure. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
Really like this rom and the battery life is the best of the Roms I have used so far, however I am not getting near 7 hours sot, if I could I would sell both my note 4 and my nexus 6 and use my 2 xperia ultra's lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
That's was on minimal brightness with working wifi.

On new kernel, you can try to lower voltage by 5.

Then switch hot plug to intelli_plug, don't forget to disable the default one.

(Some people were complaining about strange behaviour while they had both enabled:D)

In the same menu, choose "eco performance mode" and lower hysteresis value to 4, or any other that will give you enough performance.

Set maximum cpu freq while screen is off to 1.5 or less.

Then go to main cpu settings and choose slim or oder

Odemandplus governor. Now set multicore powersaving to aggressive, and finaly pick a freq high enough so phone won't lag, ether 1.9 or 2.2 will be fine.

You can lower frequency and voltage, if phone will start to reboot than it's enough. You can probably lower only high frequency voltage. With those settings I think that it's not hard to get 7 sot. Actually I was freaking out then I first got this result, I don't need to carry charger or externall battery :D

Those 2 devices are still high value, so now is a good time to sell :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sanzharis:
Hi! When I use viper I have some issues, so your help will be appreciated. Viper works only for music app, not YouTube and not other apps. Wanted to remove it from system apps and install it like normal app, but system started to crash. Tried enabling compatible mode in app but that didn't work too. Vovanx, maybe we can do smth? Remove it, and then install it as normal?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
It wasn't working at all at the first place, so right now it's only works with music. I will look into this problem a bit later, as I am quite busy right.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
It works fine for me so I dunno. Its located at /system/app/viper/ so I guess I have the same system app install as all other here.

I have the effect working in all my apps.

rom 1.5, app 2.3.4.0 FX

Could removing the app installed along with the rom and install the app from the xda thread solve the issue?

apk file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/cnqqdme51qy9ft4/ViPER4Android_FX_v2340.zip

manually

1. open viper>menu>uninstall driver

2. reboot

3. force close viper

4. delete folder /system/app/viper

5. delete the folder /data/data/com.vipercn.viper4android_v2

6. delete the folder /storage/sd0/VIPER4Android

7. reboot to recovery

8. clear cache and dalvik cache

easy

1. open viper>menu>uninstall driver

2. reboot

3. force close viper

4. open titanium

5. choose viper4android

6. uninstall ...this might take a long time

7. reboot to recovery

8. clear cache and dalvik cache

Install normal .apk and install driver.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I mean it wasn't working, because of Sony enhancements. They were resulting fc in music player, and because of it viper wasn't working as well. So on 1.5 I deleted all the other music effects which were disturbing viper's work. That's why it works now. :D

Hi [MENTION=3508509]vovanx500[/MENTION],

Finally successfully installed your GPE ROM. I am in Version 1.5 UB now. Thanks a lot for your great work and wonderful ROM.

[MENTION=3508509]vovanx500[/MENTION] i just realize my oc /uc always reverts itslef to default ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=5837017]stefan0714[/MENTION], which app are u using?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
Only issue I have with this ROM till now is it does not detect my 128GB USB pen drive, whereas 64GB USB pen drive works fine. Any limit put on USB drive detection ?

Also, may be it is already reported,ronce USB drive is UNMOUNTED, unable to remove notification message for it, unless reboot.

But, this is not a big issue, everything else working fine smoothly.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=2942951]gurung_vishwas1[/MENTION], I guess that driver does not support USB your current USB Pen drive.

Did it work on other Roms?

Drivers are located in kernel, so if it worked on some other kernel I will try to implement it.

And yeah, I changed my nickname :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stefan0714:
Kernel adiutor
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
You are right, it does not work on stock .270 firmware as well. But, I have $50 android TV box and 128GB pen drive & 1TB hard disk works with USB OTG without any issue. May be it needs to be enabled in kernel configuration. I'll try with stock kernel and let you know.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=2942951]gurung_vishwas1[/MENTION], it won't work, as stocks kernel is compiled from same sources,but without modification.

If you try to find some driver work around for Linux, then I can may be implement it.

Tell me more about drive, is it exfat formated? USB 2.0 or 3.0?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
It is USB 2.0 USB Pen drive and NTFS file system.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
You should probably try Exfat.

As Ntfs is more a windows thing.

And yeah, exfat if working fine with Windows and support 4+ gb files.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
But, NTFS format pen drive works perfectly with my android tv box, I believe it should work with our phone as well. I can understand with 1TB hard disk, it needs more power and need external adaptor to work, but as far as pen drive is concerned, it should work. Right?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Thing is that your Android box have Ntfs driver in kernel, as it's a media player, and the main thing is to read as many file systems, media formats as possible.

Ntfs driver on Android phone was cool somewhere in 2012, cause it was the only option to play large files. Now, when exfat is presented there is no need to use Ntfs anymore, cause it's really not for Android. Yes, you can make it work, but keep the kernel clean is more important in this case.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
To change file format to exFat, I need to first backup data from my 128gb pen drive data. Will check it definitely once to confirm whether it works or not.

But as I had mentioned earlier, upto 64gb pen drive works and that too NTFS format.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Well, all USB devices are different.

Maybe another pen drive with different brand will work witout any problems,who knows.

I don't have such big drive to test,so I can't tell.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
first of all, sir, you are the freaking King of the Castle.

The Rom works a charm, just flashed, tired of waiting an official update for 5.1.

One question though, how do you set things like DT2W and such? Is there a menu I didn't see? DT2W doesn't work straight out of the box (and yes, I flashed your kernel of course ;)).

Thank you so much and go on studying, you'll surely excel in that too ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Hi!

Thanks for a review.

Dt2w is Enabled pernamently, like on Rockz1kernel, but if you have protection glass, it won't work. Also, if you do too much power saving stuff, it won't work as well, so you really need to play with setting to find that suits you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blazta:
Try this might help I hope

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Don't worry, I realised that it needs a particular timing, so I just need to get used to it [emoji16]

Anyway, if I had a wish, I would have the Small Apps implemented, I found those very useful in the past.

I personally can live without the "close all" button in the recent apps, especially if ram management is this good!

I had another wish but I forgot about it [emoji23]

I'm just staggered at how much this rom is fast coming from anything else... I mean my brother in law's Note 4 is laggy compared to my Ultra!

I now can happily wait until March to see if Sony will bless us with a newer Ultra... [emoji4]

EDIT: I remembered what was the other wish: in stock 5.0.2, when you clicked the power button, it gave options for screenshot and more importantly screen record, would be difficult to port them?

Oh and regarding DT2W, is the opposite function (DT2Sleep) impossible to do?

Keep in mind I'm asking, not demanding, you already did a fantastic job. [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] redrivera:
I use gravitybox on top of this already amazing ROM to bring back "close all," screen record and all the other tweaks. They play well with each other!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Which Xposed version do you use? Is it beta or stable?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] redrivera:
Framework v73 (sdk22) from the official thread
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yeradis:
Geat work, really smooth, but i´m not able to get Mobile data working, APN configured with correct info
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
Not sure whether you are also having the same confusion which I had, just check the images and follow.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gurung_vishwas1:
Just checked with Chainfire's StickMount app and 128GB pen drive works fine. So, it means our device support NTFS as well, just need some config to be changed in kernel.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stefan0714:
Can i somehow freeze the freq @ 2.4 ghz, as it always return to 2265mhz, after screen off, tried reflashing the kernel while deleting kernel apps and wiping cache and dalvik?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I've got same behaviour after kernel auditor updated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ctexy:
Ok, after lurking for a while, this is the rom I am going to flash next! I will do so as soon as it receives the multi DPI update.

I understand Uncle Lucifer (upgraded from VovanX) is busy with real life - good luck! I have subscribed to this thread, and thank you for all your hard work :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yeradis:
hmmm now i don't remember if switched on xD , time to flash again xD thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Quick question: if I tinker about settings on Kernel Adiutor and for one thing or another something goes wrong, is it sufficient to reflash the kernel zip file to go back to the stock kernel settings?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
yeah.that's enough. Also kernel auditor have 5 seconds delay (can be increased) for boot settings, so if you are quick,you can delete it.

Or another option - TWRP have a file manager,so you can delete auditor manually.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Cool thank you! I guess 5 seconds, with pin number and such, are not enough, but if I can simply flash the kernel zip file I'm good [emoji16].

I tried intelliplug, but rebooting it goes back to stock... [emoji15]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
You need to check "set on boot" on every option. And don't forget to disable another hotplug.

And I think that after a latest update, it keeps resetting settings, so currently I am trying to make to force my kernel to load current settings.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I actually did check "set on boot" on the options I modified, it kept cpu voltages, cpu governors, max frequency when screen off, hysteresis, but resetted the cpu max frequency, hotplug settings and i/o scheduler.

When you say "disable another hotplug", you mean to uncheck Mpdecision right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Yep.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
For kernel I am using faux clock and it works great, only downside is that you have to buy it.

Sent from my Xperia Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Thanks for the clarification [emoji16]

Anyway, after all the settings, it seems my battery settings are a little negative about how much it will last... bear in mind I keep it on airplane and charge it all night, and it's on from 7:00 am. It tells me 14 hrs left... Weird... [emoji15]

Also, I can't attach a screenshot via Tapatalk, Album crashes every time (just discovered). [emoji23]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stefan0714:
I tried older versions of kernel adiutor and noticed same behavior, :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
In a post with mods there is a different album, try to use it :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I tried that with no luck.

I installed it through TWRP, still crashed.

Installed and then wiped cache and dalvik, still crashed.

What's weird is I can browse through my Playmemories Online account, I can see the folders, I can browse photos by quickly opening one and swiping left/right to see the others, but as soon as the thumbnails show, it crashes.

Isn't it supposed to create thumbnails files on 0/DCIM/.thumbnails?

That folder on my device is empty, so I think that would be a good way to start digging for the bug... [emoji6]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Well, Album crash reports are rare, so I can't work on bug until I face it.

Try to clean app's data or locate and remove thumbnails manually.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
The time remaining filled in at battery stats changes over the time. Go back an hour later and it has changed depending of much resources have been used and being used in the moment.

Just as in your car if its resonable modern you can monitor the gas milage. This value changes from day to day or minute to minute depending on how you drive.

I'm not a fan of the new way of displaying battery stats in android so I just never look at it. If i want to get good stats and logs I install the Gsam app. Its much more simple to use and have a way more understandable ui.

Edit:

I always install the old and classic gallery app from kitkat. Perhaps it works better with sharing.

At least sharing works fine for me.

http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/JdCh53qC/file.html
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Well, I'm an idiot [emoji15]

It simply was the sd card. Once unmounted and remounted again, it all works out.

Can you post the newest version as a zip file so that I can reflash the most updated version? When you have time that is. [emoji120] [emoji4]

Understood, thank you.

It's always a matter of time, but since I just rejoined the custom rom community (I've remained stock until a few days ago) I tend to forget something [emoji4]

I sorted the album problem out, now waiting for the current version as Playmemories Online works way better...

I should have thought about the sd card... [emoji17]

EDIT: nevermind, I just installed an updated apk found on Xperiablog [emoji6] [emoji16]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
heh same....I didn't touch my device for months this summer. When I found out this rom had new versions coming out I completely had forgotten what to do. I probably sat all night pushing buttons and trying to remember things.. Its the same with math as with this or any other skill you got. You need to keep practising and maintain your skills otherwise you forget things and it only takes less than a week for that to start happen :silly:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Multidpi testers required

I am working on multidpi now, the thing is that stock GPE SystemUI does not support it.

So, I had to port systemUI from z3 concept rom.

But it requires testing, for example you may have "You have incorrectly drawn your unlock pattern %d times" while you should have "No SIM"

A already fixed what I found, but it might be more, so I won't make it public , until I find them all.

If you are interested in this PM me, and I will share it with you,so you can find some more for me.

Here is screenshot at 280 dpi.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xaoup:
The Viper integration with music is absolute fantastic

Smooth as silk overall

Good job
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I'd try the dpi beta, but I need my phone to be stable/reliable during the day, so not for me, sorry [emoji17]

On another subject, are these settings normal? Because after reboot I found Temperature Throttle to be off... [emoji15]

Isn't it supposed to be on??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
If you did read the text you would know that these are different clockworks. Use "one" at a time. More than one activated may cause "unexpected behavior."
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I did actually read it, but the first time I opened the app both were active, so I thought that was normal.

Which one is better? Or are two of the same?

P. S. Regarding battery, it now shows" 6 days left" [emoji33] [emoji23]

So yeah I guess you're 100% right, it has to adapt for a few charges/uses [emoji16]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
In next update rom is switching to a Z3 AOSP Concept base!

So basically it will be Z3 port with my improvements. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
That's super cool! And I guess it also means we'll be amongst the first to have a Marshmallow port, right? HELL YEAH! [emoji109]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Well, this one is not android M, but as soon as they update it, I will try to port.

Here is the original one

I ported whole system, spend a lot of time fixing nfc,bt,wifi...

Also need to do changes from scratch....but I worth it!

SystemUI is smoother and more multiDPI friendly.

Animation is much better.

Adaptive brightness is more battery-friendly.

Also memory management seems improved.

I am replacing most of the apps, with Sony ones,like I have on current version.

There is an option for battery percentage in settings as well.

Also, I managed to fix panorama and creative effect.

So, this update is gonna be a big one. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NABENDU1:
[MENTION=3508509]Uncle Lucifer[/MENTION] hell yaa. This will be an amazing port. For one will be easier for installing official Sony apps since it would already include Sony's proprietary framework which if I'm not mistaken is included since the concept rom already has music, album and video and camera . I do think this is a much better approach and quite close to the intention with which u first started the thread
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Movies was not included actually.

Also Sony are lazy as ****, for example instead of using PhotoEditor, they are using google gallery, which is related with Google+ which is -150mb of space. So google is doing photo editing and set as wallpaper. So I had to port photoeditor myself, which is 3mb. Huge difference. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NABENDU1:
However question remains whether they continue this approach in the future devices starting with z5 or was it just a new Base they were trying to port and work with. Surprising that not many devs have shown interest in the concept rom. A person having time could study this and aosp Base and find the changes like achotjan did porting the Sony framework and selling it like crazy.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Yeah I read about it some time ago, and that's fine by me.

So, if I'm not mistaken, this will be another "wipe all before you update" kind of update, right?

Not that I care, the more I flash, the less I care about apps and stuff on the phone (which 90% of the time no one uses).

Battery percentage will be a welcome present, since I can't find a way to make it stick with the current rom but hey, not a matter of life/death. [emoji16]

I'm guessing you're satisfied with the results so far? [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NABENDU1:
Hmm all rooted users ought to have super su and tibu.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I do have it, I also bought the pro version but I'm tired of doing backups for apps and games I don't really use on a regular basis.

The only things I care right now are overall smoothness and stability. After those two, my pics (which aren't on the internal sd anyway), contacts (which are synced on Google), passwords (also synced - encrypted - on Google).

As for the rest, I couldn't care less for games that are not synced with Google Play Games. Same goes for apps, since they are all account dependant there's no point in backup. [emoji6]

Gone are the days with 40 games installed and "noooo I don't want to uninstall it, I love that game!"... [emoji23]

P. S. Anybody tried the Xposed Xperia Recorder? My guess would be not compatible, since this is *not* an Xperia rom per se...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
You mean screen recorder?

I have some ideas how to implement this without xposed, but I am not promising you anything ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Screen Recorder actually works with Xposed and Gravitybox (which by the way is able to get me the battery percentage and other statusbar/navbar mods), what I'm talking about is call recording, which is natively implemented in Z3 phones.

There are Xposed mods, but as of now, Gravitybox seems to be one of the few modules working on 5.1+.

I tried App Settings and ScreenOffAnimation, but none of the changes seems to apply...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Well, I am personally staying away from Xposed, as all I need is stability and battery life. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I get it, and that's the first thing I uninstall the moment I sense that the stability suffers.

I guess that screen recording and call recording might be implemented on the Xperia framework, since they natively are on the original roms...

I personally used screen recording a couple of times for tutorials for friends and family, but call recording has been useful A LOT in the past...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
AOSP Concept framework is different from Stock Sony Framework.

It's more of an AOSP than Sony, it doesn't have a lot of sony futures, like stamina and X-reality, so I am not sure if it's going to have call recording.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Well let's wait and see which rabbit you pull out of your hat then [emoji16]

Anyway, will it definitely be a clean install right? [emoji4]
