Thanks a lot mate for your reply.

Yap. It`s the 2016 model and really it`s a beast.

Let`s see how many times we`ve to wait.

Have a great day mate.

BTW, are you using LG G3 ?

I had this one. Really excellent device.

2015 model (which you had) has got RR and CM now.

And one thing, really you wrote excellent (SOLD due to lack of support and active community).

:) :good:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] XperiaNoobie:
Its sad, I bought it on impulse and I had nothing to work with ,but I'm really happy to see that the community keeps on going [emoji1]
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] Micheal86:
Exactly mate. Agree with you. I think these devices never get enough support as these are not flagships. These devices always neglected.

Please help me find out how to root Galaxy A7 2015 running on Marshmallow 6.0.1
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] imaz01:
I had the A5 2016 and found it had lack if support. Not long after having it(week at most), I realized I should have went for the A7 for that extra memory.

I kept the A5 for exactly 6 months before offloading it for the A9 Pro, and its the best choice ever for me. Completely satisfied with the overall performance, memory/multitasking, speed, screen is enormous and the battery life just keeps going solid for 2.5 days on a single charge. With all these positivity, its going to be a hard one to beat on my next phone even if it were a flagship line. The battery!!!!

This tutorial is very good. But How can I swap Back and Recent buttons position because I like Back button on the right
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] XperiaNoobie:
First of all try not to quote the whole post next time :P. Secondly just go back on the tutorial and undo step by step what you did.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] Brocker7:
Sorry mate cuz I'm a newbie. Sorry also but I cannot get to swap Back and Recent buttons
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbG33K:
After upgrading to Windows 10 (Clean Install) and downloading the most recent version of Visual Studio, in Blend I can no longer Drag and Drop something like an image into the xaml showing in Design View.

The previous version of Blend that I used prior to upgrading to Windows 10 did this simple task just fine, so I don't understand why it doesn't work now. I would just go and download that and switch to the earlier version, but of course, it is nowhere to be found. So now I'm stuck with an inferior version of Blend.

Can anybody help me either make Drag and Drop work in Microsoft Blend for Visual Studio (2015 I think), or preferably find a way to install the previous version of Visual Studio WITH Blend.

If it helps, I'm developing a Windows Phone 8.0 / 8.1 app. So it needs to be compatible with that stuff, not necessarily Universal Apps.

Thanks.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
HybridRom Concept EditioN​

Description:

We all got used to the idea that most stable ROM is a Stock one.

This ROM will prove you otherwise.

Main Futures:

Very fast and responsible ROM based on Z3 aosp concept and GPE libs with amazing battery life and memory management.

Perfect combination of Sony and Google apps.

No bloatware, no adds.

Only 400 megabytes.

Optional modifications.

Installation options:

Feel free to install the rom the way you want it:

Wanna install & forget?

Then LB version without any mods is your choice.

Care about security and want to have nexus like phone?

Then don't install recovery on top of LB version , with encryption your internal storage can be only erased and only using a computer.

Are you advanced user who'd like to experiment with their phone?

Feel free to install mod for theme support and kernel for advanced futures.

You can also convert your phone into a hacking device. (Like in watch dogs game :D )

Change log:

V2:

Updated Sony and Google apps

Removed:Browser,Google Now,Gmail,Viper,Video(support implemented in Album) and some other bloatware.

Fixed Sony Sound Enhancements

Fixed Write To SD Card (I hope so)

Added new weather widget

Bugs:

Some people might have 5ghz wifi connection problem

In case of the using LB version and Universal Patch, trying to reboot into recovery using advanced power menu will result a bootloop. (System is trying to access a part of kernel which is not available on LB version]. Solution: reboot into flash mode and back.

Wifi may disconnect during screen off no matter the settings. (This is android problem, not my rom)

Installation Instruction:

Make sure that your Bootloader is Unlocked.

Boot in TWRP.

Wipe system,data,and both caches.

Flash the ROM.

FOR LB USERS ONLY: Flash this kernel on top. (Thank @scrubber for that one :D)

Then (optional,but not recommended) flash recovery for locked bootloder from here

Reboot device.

Prepare to be amazed.

FAQ:

Things you need to know:

Before reporting bug reports make sure that you use this rom without any mods such as Xposed

"App XXX crashes" posts won't help me to understand the problem, learn how to use logcat.

Don't ask for ETA

Before asking something, make sure it wasn't asked before

If you ignore my rules - I will ignore you

Q: Will Xposed work?

A: Yes, but install on your own risk, don't complain if battery life will become worse.

Q: Are themes supported?

A: RRO Layers are. Use Layers Manager + LPThemer(Xposed)

Q: Option "double tap to wake" in settings is not working

A: It's kernel related,so this option won't make any difference.

Q: Can I use old Hybrid Rom v1.x Kernel?

A: It will work, but deep sleep won't, so you will have a massive battery drain.

Q: Are you going to port Sony futures such as stamina,small apps and etc.

A: No, as this requires to use Sony framework. This rom is different. If you want stock futures - take a look at my other projects.

Q: How to allow 3rd party apps to write to SD card?

A: Use this app, you can remove it after applying the fix.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pride007.2012:
First,

Will try and report you back. Just one question does theme engine from sony is working or not and does it gpe based or stock sony based. Thanks for you great effort.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NABENDU1:
probably theme engine would not work . Its aosp based with limited sony framework to make only essential sony apps work .This was a new bloatware free concept rom from sony itself.

Ahh [MENTION=3508509]Uncle Lucifer[/MENTION] waiting for my exams to get over asap to get back to testing this rom
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Nope, it's AOSP Z3 Concept and GPE based.

Clean AOSP Rom with Sony look and Apps.

P.S. If you will have problems with installation, you can try "Modem fix" from GPE thread, as I've heard that ZUltras for Indian market don't like gpe modem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wellison:
It have the latest goods from the 1.5UB ROM ? And the camera its from Sony ? How its the battery usage ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] big:
Thanks U for share, this room very small, can have flash add Gapps?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lukijs:
Well it nowhere says that it needs to flash gapps, so no, there's no need
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Because I don't have any .zip of gapps on my sd0 I guess you don't need to flash gapps. And flash instructions says none of gapps needed.

Theres no harm to just boot the rom and see if gapps is there. If its not well then u dont have any google apps in your drawer.

edit: the rom is 450MB big...I'd be surprised to see gapps not included in such big file

edit2: in the description it says "Some Google apps removed, others replaced with stock ones." ...lol gapps is included for sure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will try this rom later.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] happy3777:
Will It Work Properly On C6802?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hilmhaz:
Work fine so far on my c6802 with exposed (v74), WiFi work as it should

No modem fix needed (encounter sim card not detected on first boot, but mobile data work just fine :silly:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Rom is really smooth. Menus just fly by very smoothly without any skips or lag! No errors or anything. Everything is stable from what I experience.

I am very impressed with your work [MENTION=3508509]Uncle Lucifer[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Godaemon:
Tried the ROM for a couple of hours. Amazing and smooth. I just wait for more kernel features (OC , governors, hotplugs) like advanced kernel of the OLD HybridROM.

Sent from my Xperia Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
After testing oc and governors for few months I've noticed that more thing you add to kernel, the heavier it gets, and instead of improvements it's getting worse.

The best result are so far is without extra governors and oc.

I mean battery life and performance.

With OC you can get extra 1k in antutu, but I don't think that a really important thing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
Hi !

love the new rom, seem so fast and battery friendly

however i encounter wifi problem seem likely as cm12 custom rom. thats y i never stick with any cm based rom.

on gpe based rom, this bug currently not happening at all.

wifi keep disconnecting after several minutes and cant found any access point, if you try to disable and enable back, its still the same, only reboot will fix this, however wait 10-20 min, wifi will disconnect back, and the bug go on and on.....

i did report to cm12 based thread, about several thread, about 4 months now, the bug still not fix, maybe because it only happen for a few users, so they ignore it. yah, 4month and counting lol.

Uncle, i love your gpe based rom, and this current rom as well, i hope it did well and great as same as previous rom.

im coming from your gpe based rom, however already did full reset.

maybe i need to stick back to your previous rom. :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Well, I didn't touch hardware related stuff and I never had this problem.

I mean that wifi should work as on gpe port, as hardware related stuff is still from gpe.

Tey to change wifi-frequency band in settings.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Unknown_2517:
I guess you see this problem, because you have two xperia phones with custom roms. And your phones have same mac address. When you use your phones in same wireless network your wifi will be dropped. Try to change your mac address...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
I have problem with adaptive brighitness, it work but..it dont work good. it stay to dark when i am on sun. do i need to flash something more for it to work fine or? on [V1.5]HybridRom worked perfect but here not so much.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
It's just less aggressive therefore it's more battery friendly.

And the minimum level is less, so it's don't burn eyes in darkness.

I personally like it more.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Thats new.

Try to download some wakelock detector from play store and try to find if anything causing it. Maybe you can try somehow to calibrate battery or maybe it's a time to get a new one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yupiter00:
But in all battery life is great!!!Only this is strange and nervous...

I will try to download....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
This kind of thing was happening to me on a HTC DHD with a very old battery.

It's maybe because the capacity of battery becoming smaller.

But it's not a big deal. If you like your Ultra as I do, you can replace battery.

And if you will need any help with it, you can always ask me, I have experience in this. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hariganesh76:
Screen casting doesn't work for me in this ROM. I am using a chinese widi device connected to TV. Screen Casting used to work in stock rom. I am not using xposed.

Otherwise this is a wonderful rom with great battery life.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
Cast won't work since you had to unlock the bootloader. After restoring TA keys it is working fine, that's why I am sticking to stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hariganesh76:
Thanks [MENTION=1655514]maxld[/MENTION]. It is really sad that I had to loose out on Screen cast functionality. Let me hunt for workarounds then.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
If you can find a stock gpe 5.1.1 kernel, you can try to flash it and lock bootloader.

Theoretically it will do the trick.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hariganesh76:
Thanks Uncle! But when I searched the forums, I gather that this would require restoration of TA partition, mere locking of bootloader may not be sufficient. So I am not too keen in trying your suggestion. There were some fixes posted by others like changing / adding parameters in build.prop file , but those didnt work for me. Screen cast comes in handy when I am travelling, otherwise I am content with a working DLNA. When I feel I need casting so badly, I know I can return to stock and restore TA.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Im having issues with the screen when calling. Removing the phone from the ear should turn on the screen but mine doesn't?

Today I had a bit of luck pushing the power button a couple if times and it eventually turned on so I could end the call.

Most of the time I use my Plantronics headset so I'm not very familiar with the earpiece.

Is this a known bug in this rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
The thing is that you can have restored TA partition on GPE, in case that you use boot.img dumped from GPe phone, not builded from source. I know it, because I was playing with my first HybridRom on locked BL, but battery life sucks on with locked one, so I decided to work only with unlocked one. Try your luck in playstore, maybe you can find something to make it work. Unfortunately I don't have anything to test cast with.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Hello my friend!

Get an app from playstore, which can test your proximity sensor.

I don't have any problems with that one,but I have few thoughts.

It can be some app in the background, which keeps your screen awake. For example a game can do that.

Or maybe your bt thing is still connected, so proximity sensor behaves different.

I would never post rom, if it had some kind of serious bugs.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dannchelu:
I have the same problems with proximity sensor but mine appears after some time with custom roms. I believe we can ``repair`` this sensor by flashing stock rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] redrivera:
Just to add, my phone's prox sensor behaves as expected during calls with this rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hariganesh76:
Question to the experts.. sorry if this is a wrong place. Can I restore TA using fasboot?

i.e fastboot flash TA TA.img

instead of going through the adb and dd
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
The best option is to use BackupTA tool. It can convert img file and most important, it will tell you if it's safe to flash or no.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
For those who were asking about themes:

Rom Supports RRO LAYERS!

But I need to do something with settings, to get rid of white background.

White themes will work fine.

So, Install Layers Manager from market.

LPThemer for Xposed ( to correct some colors) and have fun.

BTW I got my hands on marshmallow concept.

There is no big difference with lollipop version.

SystemUI is the same. Only few apps have newer versions.

Maybe I will do small update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] renoune:
Please, update room to marshmallow, waiting it from the end of October -)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I managed to modify settings, so it will work with layers.

Now you can apply dark themes.

Flash in recovery. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Here is the fix for network printer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
Marshmallow concept for the ZU? From Sony? Thought they said they weren't going to Mm on the ZU...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Original Concept was for Z3, not ZU, see 1st post.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
Yeah, running it on my z3, it's nice. Guess he's talking about porting to ZU?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Seeing as this whole thread is Z3 Concept ported to ZU, I would expect so. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
Haha, derp, yeah makes sense now. I'm running this rom, guess I glossed over the z3 part. Z3 Mm would be awesome on the ZU, though. Google context search and doze are minor additions but make a big difference.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
I'm guessing if Uncle Lucifer can make it stable, we'll see it. If he can't, we won't. Fingers crossed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
If it will be possible to make a stable kernel, I will update rom to MM.

I am making only stable roms for everyday use, not for betatesting.

Btw, if you compare both LP and MM concepts, you won't find much difference.

SystemUI is the same.

The fun thing, when I was playing with RRO Prime theme, only MM Framework path made possible to control colours fully. It means that framework of the concept is more MM than LP. :D

So, as soon as it will be possible to make something stable, I will do it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
Hey Uncle, awesome setup for an awesome mod! Now it does feel like using a phablet instead of an oversized smartphone :D

Just a quick question: How can I block the rotation of the launcher? My dock is messed up in landscape mode. I couldn't find a way block rotations using Xperia Xposed, GravityBox or App Settings…
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Hey!

You've got few options:

In laucher settings.

I was personally using Xperia Xposed module, there is an option to fix orientation.

In app settings, it's also possible to lock orientation.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
The rotation option in the Xperia Xposed module wasn't working for me, but I was able to force portrait mode by changing a value of com.sonyericsson.home using App Settings. Thanks uncle :good::)

I was kinda surprised that you are using the Material Xperia Keyboard since it's thumb mode can overlap the very text you are typing. "Thumb Keyboard" by Beansoft isn't too bad, though. But unfortunately there isn't a free version.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Actually today I switched back to stock sony keyboard.

But if will use google or aosp,it's possible to theme it witg RRO layers. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sjesudasan:
If your bootloader is unlocked X-Reality wont work. You will be able to toggle the switch but there wont be any visible difference in picture quality
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Does this kernel supports recoveries on /recovery partitions?

And is there a chance for f2fs support on internal partitions (i mostly think about /data)?

Sent using C6833 - AICP/GreatDevs

EDIT: What rom use as base? I flashed newest Lollipop and than the rom, but it reboots after MultiRom (did factory reset).

It seems that now I got to bootanimation. Does this Rom have same bootanimation as stock? Coz maybe something is wrong on my side :(

Ok it's fine

EDIT2: This rom is more stock or custom? I'm not sure if I can use RockZUL Kernel? Coz with builtin kernel I miss to many things comparing to GreatDevs KK (mostly governors, which work fine for me - pegasusq, nightmare -, schedulers - vr - and dynamic file sync).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CommanderROR:
Hi everyone,

I used this ROM to Update a Friend's Xperia Z Ultra (Germany, so C6833) and now it won't recognize any Simcards. I flashed a Stock ROM via Flashtool, but still no joy. Can this be an issue due to the ROM, or did the Sim Card reader simply choose this moment to give up? Is there any way to check?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
I think it's hardware. I just used this Rom (but returned to my beloved AICP KK) and there was no problem with SIM card.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
Check if the IMEI is displayed correctly by taking a look at the options or dialing *#06#
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CommanderROR:
Yes, the IMEI looks valid. It's a very long number... ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Weird Display Glitches

See attachment, I have a strange problem with some apps on this ROM - didn't happen with previous ROMs. Worst effects are with Ghostracer, where there are light numbers on the screen I get a light band stretching across the screen. If I switch to another app the bands stay on screen, making it really hard to read. I've seen it also in a few other apps, like Sygic and Wordbrain. I've tried changing the Dev Options in settings, disabling HW Overlays and forcing GPU rendering, nothing seems to help.

Interesting, if I grab a screenshot it's clear, looks normal, that's why I had to take a photo of it.

Any ideas what else I can try? Some kernel tweaks?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diaselo:
I use network printer fix but didn't print wireless
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prewed:
I don't have problems with Sygic on this ROM. No graphic artifacts.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Anyone got any helpful ideas? :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
Maybe there's something wrong with your screen.. Physical defects on screen I mean, not on software side. I have a defective screen, and I get that stretch thing on my screen but not that worst like yours. Mine was more on the left side of my screen,. When I use my phone for like 2 hrs straight it will appear slowly then I'll go away if I don't use it for 4hrs.. At first I thought it was the ROM Im using, but after flashing different ROMs it won't disappear so I guess its a defective screen. :( What I did was, to lessen it I change my screen RGB color.. Try experimenting on it. I'll send some photos when I have time later to show you what It looks like on my phone.
