I only had graphical artifacts only when I tried to play a video with unsupported codec using Movies app,but only for a few seconds, then it's gone.

Not sure what's the reason.

Did you always have it or it's just appeared?

Btw, I tried the ghostracer app, and it's seems fine for me. But it's not following my screen orientation.

This rom have nothing to do with stock, but may look like it. that's the point.

I was experimenting with governors on my previous hybrid rom, but after a long testing process I realized that, the less you touch kernel the better performance/battery life we will have.

I read in forums somewhere, and unfortunately it's more likely a hardware issue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
New path for Dark Layers Support.

Added:

Contacts

SystemUI

DocumentsUI

Tip: If you have a choice of framework, use for Android M.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Thanks (Ghostracer orientation is in settings). I've always had the problem with this ROM. When I first installed, I had another ROM installed in MultiROM, and that one was clear when this one was faulty, so I don't think it's hardware. Just a problem between some software and this ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
It's just started to give me a FC after I switched orientation.

So, yeah some apps seems to behave strange on my rom. It's pretty rare.

If you got Xposed, you may try to play with AppSettings.

Maybe force full screen or different DPI will help you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
All other roms I flashed works fine with my sdcard 64GB exFAT.

But this rom does not display the SD card if I try to give any app permission that want to write to the card. If I format the card as fat32 in Gparted it works fine but not with exFAT.

I know it is possible to get rw by running this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jrummy.sdfix

But this only make it possible for apps like Root Explorer to get access. Not other apps that demands to use the internal file explorer to choose path. Is it possible to make the rom work with exFAT?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vikram.mohal:
Hello there, I tried this ROM on my xzu gpe c6802 & there is network issue with unable to use WiFi and I lost my recovery also. But using rasher tool I m back to twrp and using RR ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Why no one have told me that the themes patch is not working? :(

I placed it outside of the system folder, so script did't do anything.

That what happens when you don't sleep. :D

So if you want themes, download it again. (unless you have done it manually)

Settings and contacts will look much better with black themes with this path.

Also I re-uploaded printer fix.

Btw, new update is coming soon...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sollysally:
We were busy with Z5 experience :laugh::laugh:

pls work on it,

Z5 experience is the best (except its sound mode :D)

Thank you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Rom updated, see the change log.

Clean install only.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
And updated screenshots, so you can see how clean it is now. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IGnoTon:
Installed V2.0, good as before.

Also, installed Universal Patch, navbar buttons look oddly too close now :) and in landscape mode they are unchanged (far).

Any idea how to fix it myself?

Another question:

is Sony lockscreen clock possible to get?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
If you familiar with recompiling stuff, then you can de-compile SystemUI and find a nav bar's xml file. And you night to sign it after. Otherwise you won't have UI at all. :D

Just wait few minutes, I will re-upload Universal Path ;)

About clock. I did that before.

But... Sometimes they do look very ugly in landscape mode, like goes of the screen.

If you are an Xposed user, then there is a module which can allow you to put any widget on the lock screen. So you can put Sony Clock on your lockscreen and make it look like you want to.

UPD: Re-uploaded the patch. Changed margins from 75 dpi to 48, added landscape mode support.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Tested this ROM and I like it. But because of one bug I went back to the GPe port:

The notification bar settings are shifted to the left instead of centered when setting DPI to 280. How could this be fixed?

In the GPe the settings are centered as it should be. Installed v2 and universal patch.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Try to exclude SystemUI from universal patch.

It was working before I made themes support
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shehzadshaukat:
Thanks for such a nice rom. Quite smooth. There is noticeable sound improvement especially from speaker. Well done.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
For those who want multiDPI and already flashed UniversalPath.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Cloudmaker:
I see this ROM does not contain FM radio?

Any chance to import Sony stock FM radio app? Or does Spirit2FM work on this ROM as a replacement?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
SpiritFM will work.

Sony radio requires: Sony frameworks and libs and this rom is aosp. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Cloudmaker:
Thanks, will try.

Last question: does this ROM support larger DPI, smth about 380-400?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
As it's ported from Z3, original dpi was bigger. So, I am sure that it will work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hariganesh76:
Another great release. Thanks!

How do I access the Audio settings menu?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
In Sony Music App.

But they will affect whole system :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Works like charm, thanks a lot :)

How did you get that theme working?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
You need to download Layers Manager from play store, and you can use any theme.

This one is DarkOut.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bass122:
How can we make sure that it's the V2. Can Someone post the about information? It's still Wed Sep 23 2015
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Seems OK

V2 with universal patch & MultiDPI

PS: AdvancedKernel works fine, DT2W and Swipe2Sleep. Does the Kernel V2 support this, too?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
[MENTION=4801994]ashish2k4.dce[/MENTION]: 5 GHz is working fine here - see Screenshot. But I flashed the advanced Kernel, don't know if that has any influence on that, but the standard GPe Port has no Wifi issues either.

Sorry, I correct that :)

Yes, it's positive. I wrote, that this is the best ROM I got on my ZU so far :D

I use ZHyperRoM and it' great! so i want to try this HybridRom.

but my device(sol24) can't unlock bootloader.

cannot i use this rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
You need to flash kernel, so without unlocked bootloader there is no way to go.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] riteshnktn:
Not working.. Need Help!!!

I flashed the room and it goes to main screen but then after some time the phone keeps on restarting again and again... Any Idea how to fix this????
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Let me guess, you flashed rom and right after universal patch?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] riteshnktn:
I flashed the rom and then after the first boot I flashed Universal Patch and Advanced Kernel V2. Also after entering the main screen which hardly stays for a minute or two, SIM card is not detected and battery level shows 0%.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
This kind of problems were detected on Z Ultra with Indian region.

If it's your case, than go to GPe port's thread and try to find a meeting "modem fix" in there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ashish2k4.dce:
pls reply to my query as well. Thanks [MENTION=3508509]Uncle Lucifer[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] riteshnktn:
Thanks [MENTION=3508509]Uncle Lucifer[/MENTION]. I flashed GPE Modem Fix and now it works like a charm. Only thing is Power Management missing from the rom. Can we get that updated by any path??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vikram.mohal:
Is this stable for z ultra c6802.... I mean any issue with network or something. Plz tell me I want to flash this rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Why do mean by power manager?

It's not a Sony Rom, it has battery stats and saver.

[MENTION=4801994]ashish2k4.dce[/MENTION], I don't have that kind of problem, thing you can do it to find it in settings /Apps and clean data.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hariganesh76:
Yes you need to fash modem file right after you flash this rom, otherwise you will not get network. Search in other threads to get a link to the modem file.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] riteshnktn:

A question, can I install MM rom with multi-rom like 2nd rom or I need something special like new bootloader and TWRP 3.0

Enviado desde mi C6833 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
You need to use MultiRom TWRP, which is 2.8.5.0 for togari. Not sure if it supports MM, not sure if our latest version of MultiRom supports MM roms.

Sent using XT1562 - Resurrection Remix/Ultra Kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gsusrm:
Ok, I suppose that I need to install the patch on 2nd post. I read on multi-rom thread that the v33 support Mm and I don't know what's the version of the patch. Will try later and comment

Wow! With the Advanced Kernel (V1) This ROM has the best battery life I saw on my ZU so far. My 2 1/2 years old ZU runs 2 Days with one charge. And no unexpected reboots so far like I had on the stock ROM.

Great :) :good::good::good::good:

As you see, I was serious about making aosp more stable that a stock rom.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I don't know where is the problem, as I don't have problems with my 64 or 128gb cards. The thing I do, is format it using android device. Both formated in exFat file system.

So, what I am saying is that I need to replicate the issue on my onw, in order to fix it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OmarKhalifa:
AMAZING

Amazing Performance , Works Like a Charm..

But Can I install Smart Call handling And "Facebook For Xperia " Mods Or it will bootloop ? :D

Thanks for Such great ROM :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Those are for stock based rom, but I guess that it's possible to find an alternative for the first one at least, my guess it will be a xposed module.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lukijs:
I dont have problem with 64Gig sexfat formated too. Also I had issue you said in root explorer, installing selinux mode changer and enforcing selinux fixed it for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
Updated to the newest version a week ago and I am deeply satisfied with the way you work on your ROM. You polish the right spots and focus on stability, that's amazing :)

There is just a bug which nags on me: I cannot encrypt my smarthphone with the implemented encryption feature in the option menu. During the process my phone is stuck in a bootloop. The CPU is warm so it's working on something, but the process never ends (I waited for about 70 h) despite having only a few GB data on my sdcard. Is there a way to solve the issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Thanks for pointing that for me.

I guess that's as the rom is for z3, it may encryp in a hardware specific way, which is not supported by ultra. I will try to look at it.

One thing, which can cause problems is a... SuperSU update.

It breaks symlinks.

See in the root folder there is a "sdcard" folfder.

It should point to storage/emulated/legacy

But after updating SuperSu it's empty.

It took me a time to figure this out, and I only noticed that because I am using nethunter, and it has a lot of scripts that are pointing to an empty folder, resulting errors.

So, try clean install, but when SuperSU will ask you to update the binary, don't do that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gsusrm:
I will try do that, format my 64gb card with smartphone.

Sorry for not comment, I don't who to do a logcat for that

Hey, thanks for your reply. I heard about the problems between SuperSU and the android encryption. My symslinks aren't broken though. If I got time next weekend I will deactivte SuperSU with TitaniumBackup and try the encryption process again. I will report back.

t posts.

-installed the latest xposed for Lollipop 5.1.

-Then the LPThemer module.

-Then Layers Manager from Playstore.

Please help me, volume dont work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
I can confirm this bug.

workaround:

- open sony music app

- go to preferences ⇒ audio preferences

- disable ClearAudio+

- disable audio normalization

- go to submenu 'sound effects' and disable equalizer

This will work not only for playing music with the music app but throughout android.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dimex:
ROM was fine for about 4 days, but now I'm getting random reboots.

Doesn't seem to be tied to a specific app, and it happens at random. Haven't installed anything new.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I didn't have a single reboot during few months of usage.

I guess a really clean install might help, I mean backup all the stuff you've got and wipe data, system, caches and internal storage. It's good to do that sometimes anyway.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] panyan:
Just installed V2 with these wipe options - cant wait! :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dimex:
Well, after further investigation, my microSD card failed and apps trying to write to it were causing reboots.

False alarm, ROM is rock solid.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] heartless vegan:
Finally got the encryption working. The bootloop was caused by the 'Universal Path' mod. If you don't install it, everything works fine. By using GravityBox (can be found in the Xposed Module Repository) you can get an advanced power as well. If SuperSU asks for an update, choose the automated TWRP method (don't do it manually), otherwise u can get stuck in a bootloop as well. After encryption you will be asked to insert your password during boot, but you won't be able to see a keyboard at first. It will pop up after about half a minute (the screen might fade out first), so just be a little patient.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
That's makes sense ,as Universal Patch also disables Signature check.

And something else, checks if the security check is on and off.

One day, I will find that thing... :D

Download that app and install themes from it. You need to install layers theme made for lollipop. You must have installed a theme for Marshmallow which made your system_ui to crash.
