If it won't work, all I can try is to compile kernel for Brazilian version seems like it does include driver for TV tuner.

(I newer knew Ultra have one, I am a bit jealous :D )

If you make full backup of your current rom I think there is a possibility to port TV app :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lukijs:
Oh that autocorrect, album and music apps are crashing, music app started crashing after I enabled viper
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] XLR8_2K:
:-\ Just did it. I followed the described steps. Went to twerp, wiped sys, data & caches. Flashed.

When I pressed reboot, twrp said I wasn't rooted, and if I wanted to root before reboot. I said yes and reboted.... To a apparently bricked z ultra. The only signal I get from it is a blinking red led when I have the charger connected. No fastboot mode, nothing....

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lukijs:
Flash ftf, if you have bricked it thats only option
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] scpion:
Tried flashing this zip by twrp says the zip is corrupted.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Extract it manually then ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Guys, after one night of doing magic compiled new kernel with OVERCLOCK!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
hey, hope you solved the problem

please give attention that if you wiped /system, then reboot, it will stuck there. it wont boot to recovery at all

you can only enter fastboot and flashmode.

so from now on you need to flash via flashtool to fix it.

dont worry, flash ftf kitkat or lolipop, then manually enter fastboot and flash latest twrp

then you can continue to flash custom rom.

you added cool feature 1 by 1 lol in just days, thanks

hopefully we can see some theming feature,

i still eager to see RRO layer framework intergrated to this rom.

hopefully you gonna try it because gpe has some rro pieces thats been intergrated into.

[MENTION=3276792]curiouso9[/MENTION], I just gonna get busy in university since september, as I have too many debts and this is last year of study course, so I decided to do as much as possible when I still have some time. I will look theming possibility, but don't expect it soon. :D

how to activate dt2w, i flased kernel, oc works, but its not waking up on double tap,and it would be great to have undervolt in future, to prolong this rom battery life even more :))
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] scpion:
Will give it a go. Btw this rom is simply amazing Gpe with sony ui. Best of both worlds. :good::good:

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Tap a little slower. It's on by default I think, at least for me. But it may not work on 1st try after deep sleep. But it works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] XLR8_2K:
Erm...wasn't I supposed to wipe all , including sys, and then flash this rom???

I'm just asking to understand the reason of the failure and apparent brick.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blazta:
Why not manual flash the boot.img that's in the rom zip?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Use slim governor and deadline scheduler. Gives me best result for double tap. Some governors are more for power-saving,so as the result dt2w not always working.

I will add it later, but I think even UC can affect battery life.

Did you recover from brick?

Your sypthoms are looks like that your boot is not unlocked.

Did you flash any custom kernels before?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wingzero:
Hi, I flashed the ios Emoji but it's not working. It does not show the Emoji, only the text. Is there extra steps I need to do to make it work? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Which version are you using?

On 1.5 works just fine.

You can always push files manually, just set right permission.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wingzero:
Alright don't kill me. How to take screen shot on this rom? Yes, I am on v1.5.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Power + Vol Down.

I uploaded file again. And checked it one more time on my brother's phone after fresh installation.

If it won't help, then you are doing somethng wrong. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wingzero:
Only the first set of Emoji is having problem, the rest are ok.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Man, first set is text smiles, not emoji.

It's needed when you send sms to simple phone.

Or Android with version lower than kitkat, as it's not supporting emoji.

:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wingzero:
Man, I feel so dumb. :( Thanks for the quick reply.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
Excellent work, works great. I only have an issue when setting the dpi to my desire size ( I usually set something between 200-220). The drop down notification and quick settings panel along with every notification moves to the left as shown in the attachment. I would be glad if you can fix it.

Is there any option to rearrange the tiles in quick settings and add/remove?

Kernel is great, no lags at all and memory management is awesome.

Could you please add GPU OC to gain some more performance??

Once again thanks for your work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=4926645]Godaemon[/MENTION], thanks for review.

Rom is not multi dpi yet, I will see what I can do about that.

Yeah, I will update kernel and add more futures. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
I also tried to record video using SONY stock camera app and got error after some time , camera disconnects and needs reboot. Didn't have the same issue when used google camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=4926645]Godaemon[/MENTION] It's very first version of camera port, so sometimes you can have issues, but for me me it's works most of the time.

Be patient. 2 mounts ago it wasn't working at all.

If you want me to understand the problem, then provide logcat.

Maybe disabling steady shot in video settings will solve it.

And you can always download google video camera from app store.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
I have no idea how to provide logcat, sorry.

That's why i just report here .

I just wanted you to know

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Provide logcat, it should do do that. Tested on 3 phones ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dkeys:
Omg sir,im sorry but where can I find the logcat?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
For example here

I I know you said you did a clean install, but did you format system partition?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dkeys:

getting random reboots...kernel settings are slim+1.9ghz,

how to disable dt2w?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Same!!!! I woke up and my device is in a bootloop :(

It just wont boot even after a force reboot.

edit: removed the charger...now it goes past the boot animation.

dalvik cache was cleared by it self

edit2: I used kernel oc_v2 and configed with the slim gov, max 1,9ghz.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
Yep to have same random restarts vith v1 and v2 on demend governer and 2,2ghz (default)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
I am using the latest kernel with v1.5 from the first minute the kernel released. No problems here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Arkadash:
Have random reboot to.. Twice at 1 hour today. V2, slim, 1.9...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
If you have reboots,then your device is not friendly with OC.

I tested on 3 devices, one have same behaviour.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
well even if I flashed the oc named kernel I did not overclock anything. I set max freq to 1,9ghz.

Im using kernel auditor app.

I flashed the normal dt2w kernel this morning before I left cause Im on the road atm. Just to be sure I don't get any

trouble when Im far from home.

Can you perhaps build a normal non oc kernel with the slim gov included?

If as you say that some devices is not stable with oc kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Arkadash:
Would be great kernel like V2 but non OC..

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I will do update soon without OC.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I have never seen this message before on boot? Did you do full wipe and flashed rom with cwm or twrp?

It would be a good idea to flash a stock based rom and kernel first.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zubeedubs:
Full wipe and flash with twrp, it installs fine but when I reboot I get the black screen with the update failed message, I'll try by reverting to stock and flashing from there, then I'll report back!!

Is it possible to increase volume of speaker and headphones in mixer_paths like in scrubber, when i tried to change values, i lost all sounds :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
You use a very old and complicated solution. I did this even before I found franco kernel with sound control..

You should try viper4android. It provides an alternative driver and an easy gui in an app to config many things.

Every device has its own tab = earphones, speaker, bluetooth etc etc

1a).

Download viper4android

Download SELinuxChanger app

Install Apks

1b).

*Start SELinux app and grant superuser.

*Set setting to permissive if not already set to it.

1c).

*Start viper4android

*On first start choose audio quality. (I always choose extreme)

*After prompt that driver is installed reboot device.

2).

*Start any media player

*Open viper4android app

*Click menu

*Go to driver status

*If it says active or whatever then good. Its working!

3a).

*In viper4android app click menu

*click UI Setting

*choose Expert

3b).

*on tab Phone speaker, go down to "Speaker optimization" and enable

*on "EXTRA LAUD" enable

*on "Select Effect Strength" choose Extreme

*on "Max gain" choose 4x

*on "Max output" choose 0 dB

These settings I found works best for the internal speaker because the z ultra has a crappy speaker so you cant go to loud on it. And you need the Speaker optimization because without it the higher bands overtake the mid and low frequencies and you can't hear a thing except high pitch grinding noise killing the poor speaker.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stefan0714:
Thank you for detailed explanatiom, but i have a problem as usual.

I downloaded both apks, i installed se linux changer granted su and permissive is greyed out, i reckoned it was already enabled, viper 4 android install fails as its alredy installed in rom by default. Then i wentto music, sound enhancments and started master power, did all the steps you provided and there was no change in sound, tried reboot couple of times and nothing, driver status says everything is enabled except for processing, what should i do :/

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Update, the processing is now on, only extra loud feature does not work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Did you do a clean install with wipe on dalvik, cache, system and data before you did my instructions?

Just so you have a clean install with no modifications to any system files that you had done before.

Also do you have system settings>developer options>Use Awesomeplayer (deprecated) unchecked?

And do you have ALL other eq settings off? Eq in system settings, apps that provides eq settings etc OFF?

The app must not interfere with any other similar app.

If processing says no when music is playing then some other app is overriding viper4androids settings.

Turn dsp and eq off from all apps.

If you ramp things up to ridiculous high settings 9dbi and inf do you not notice any difference in sound volume from settings off and on?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stefan0714:
I like have 8 apps installed, and none of them are eq or anything i have og youtube and 8tracks that are music apps, and i updated from hybrid rom 1.4 to 1.5, did not do a clean install, before that i was on scruber and i clean installed hybrid .

Charge your device and flash the 1.5 rom again. With full wipe.

Try install a normal musicplayer and play a local .mp3 file or install a streaming player like spotify or play music and listen while changing settings.

You can also do the same thing with another device like earphones. The difference is much clearer with headphones on.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
You must be something wrong then... I dunno...It works great for me and has for many years on different devices and roms.

I have one last trick to see if you can get a louder speaker.

Go to settings>apps>VIPER4Android FX>clear data to reset the whole app

Do the first start thing and reboot.

Delete the folder ~/sdcard/VIPER4Android

Its located on in your internal storage.

Download this .zip

http://tinyurl.com/viper4androidtest/

Unzip it to /sdcard/

It should now excist a folder like this: ~/sdcard/VIPER4Android

Start VIPER4Android app and press menu>Load Effect Profile> select "TestingSpeaker"

Start music on low volume and listen...turn up the volume..if you can't hear any difference then I'm out of ideas.

I have in this profile ramped everything up to max and turned on force enable.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] scarletnokarasu:
the new dark theme has some bugs

skype keeps reloading/crashing with the dark theme

i reflashed and went back to 1.5 w/o dark theme and it works just fine so i'm guessing it's the dark theme causing that problem

another thing is the download app, u can't see anything with the grayed out text

great job regardless

i'm really enjoying 1.5 right now

another thing is, is it possible to ask u to use the music(walkman) app beta with the flac support etc?

i'm really missing the shuffle button in the beta

DT2W

Thanks for the firmware and kernel.

I did a clean install HybridRom V1.5 and Advanced Kernel V2.5 to my Z Ultra, C6806, without problem. My phone has a tempered glass protector installed.

I set up the kernel using Kernel Audiutor apk: slim governor, deadline scheduler, 19xx Mhz CPU frequency without boot loop, but DT2W doesn't work. Please advice me other kernel settings, so the DT2W will work.

Switching Bluetooth pairing is so slow between two paired devices.

WiFi Hotpot cut off transmitting signal at about one hour of using.

Is there any problem if I change C6833 to C6806 in the build.prop? Google search and some web sites thinking I'm in Europe, actually I'm in USA.

Would you please port Sony Note apk ? I use this apk to take note at work.

I have not tried the black theme yet.

Thank you for your hard works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
ohey.. . Phone runs great. Its fast and stable. Haven't had a reboot and alarm went of as it should this morning.

dt2w works. You just have to double tap very fast and the screen comes on.

Running at max 1,9ghz, slim gov and 5mv uv on all freq.

Multicore power saving at aggressive.

Rest is left at stock settings.

54% 300mhz 6:05:54h

39% deepsleep 4:22:49h

Quite accurate of how I slept through the night..

Edit it seems like the first tap is not registered so you have to tap three times very fast in order to get the screen to light up

Yes, you can change model in build prop, I would also suggest to change region there from UK to US.

[MENTION=915169]o0ojco0o[/MENTION], if you mean 6833, then it will work.

About downloads app, switch to grid view, it will fix the problem.

I tested skype on dark theme and it's works fine, may be cleaning the data may help you.

Only option for now is to use stock kernel which is included in rom.

You can flash boot.img with fastboot or replace boot in any kernel with stock and flash.

I will release version without dt2w as soon as will implement all things I wanted. So most of the updates of kernel will include DT2W.
