I glad to try ;)

Hi,

downloaded it 3 times but every time i try to flash it with twrp 2.8.7.0 it says : "E:Zip file is corrupt!"...
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
It's impossible. Now i use this ROM and when i install it, i can't see this error. Please delete and replace ROM on your SDcard and try again. Don't forgot make factory reset.

This problem may be due to interruption of replace. You can't get some error's when you replace ROM?
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
I only have this error with this rom, don't know why...
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
When You install other ROM's, you have it error?

Please wait some time, i download and install for you.
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
thanks :)

no problem with SamKat and LollySaga
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
I download and install ROM now and i don't have this error. Try reinstall recovery and install rom again. Problem NOT in ROM. ;)

I think You have some error in download. Try REDOWNLOAD ROM. I think problem here.
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
ok i'll try to reflash recovery threw adb in few minutes, but what's best ?

TWRP-saga-2.8.7.0-unofficial.img (the one i have) or TWRP-recovery-sagaopt-2.8.7.1.img
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
You must flash TWRP 2.8.7.0. not sagaopt.
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
Link updated! Enjoy! ;)
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
Thank you but i think i've found the problem

When i do a full wipe i get :

E:Error openning dir: '/sdcard/.android_secure/'

E:Block device not present, cannot swipe SD-Ext

E:Unable to wipe '/sd-ext'
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
If you ON mtp - OFF it. Then make wipe android_secure and SD ext. Don't forgot make backup!!!

Sorry for my bad english:D
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
I think we're on the good way !

I've reflashed TWRP-saga-2.8.7.0-unofficial.img with adb and everything's going well. Then i reboot to recovery without my sdcard and i try to make a full wipe here's what i get :

E:mkdosfs process ended with ERROR=1

E:Unable to wipe sdcard (i think it's normal cause she isn't present)

E:Unknow MTP message type: 1

Can you explain me how to disable MTP please ?

(no problem for your english i think mine isn't the best too :D)

----- edit -----

ok found it under the "Mount" menu
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
Yes, yes, in "Mount". ROM work? You can install and launch it?
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
Yeah !!! thank you for your help :cool:

Everything works like a charm !
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
Good,Good. Thank's for the test. Enjoy! ;)
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
TWRP-saga-2.8.7.0-unofficial.img is the recovery for normal saga ROM. On the other hand TWRP-recovery-sagaopt-2.8.7.1.img is the recovery for sagaopt ROM. So it is depending on which type of ROM are you going to flash. You could notice the type of ROM by their name whether it is saga or sagaopt. This ROM is saga I guess so you have to use saga recovery. Please do not mix them up, otherwise it will not work. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

now answer me...where is the tutorial?please help me...
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
Tutorial?? Hmm...

1. You device must be HTC Desire S.

2. You must have root, S ON Unlocked or S OFF and TWRP recovery.

3. You can install recovery through ADB Run.

4. Replace ROM in SDcard.

5. After installing, you enter in recovery (off your device and press Volume Down and Lock.) Then change "Recovery" and enter.

6. In Recovery you must make Wipe. Enter in "Wipe" and tap on "Factory reset". You lost files and data!!!

7. After this go to "install" and change .zip file (ROM).

8. After installing reboot in bootloader and through ADB install boot.img (boot.img you find in .zip arhive)

9. Then reboot system and enjoy! :)

I think you understand :p
[HTC Desire S] iamdawalrus:

Hi Bl4ckOverlord,

Thanks for a very nice ROM. The first uploaded was not good, keeping flashed three time without success. Until I downloaded the latest upload and installed without problem. Setup is did not take that long in comparison to regular CM-12 though. Thank you very much for your contribution. I apologize for the delay in testing.
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
No problem, thank's for the testing :) I am glad that you like ;)
[HTC Desire S] mumuni:
Hi guys I try this ROM but does not work on my desire s .all it is say is error in sdcard anytime I try to flash it. Any solution.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Bl4ck0verlord:
You must use TWRP Recovery. Disable MTP, when you install the ROM and make Factory Reset.

[HTC Desire S] jkrhu:
I've been using this ROM for some time now and I've encountered a couple of problems. It seems that my internet connection is limited when using this ROM. YouTube at 480p is buffering every 5 seconds on my 20mb/s internet. Everything takes so long to load. Snapchat takes good 5 minutes to load a couple of stories, reddit app takes ages to show topics. Facebook Messenger takes agees to load emojis aswell. I don't know what it going on. Also Google Now doesn't load results, it stops at the beginning of loading and nothing happens. Also sometimes when receiving phone calls the other side can't hear me. I need to call them back. You can find some graphical glitches when using task manager. Overall it's okay. I've wanted to try it because so many apps are no longer supporting ICS, but I think I'm going to go back to stock.

You cannot install TWRP on any S4 except one with the MDK bootloader.

To check use a terminal emulator and type:

Hello and happy new year 2016!

Well, meanwhile wait for my z3p next week, I would like to ask if some friend around here had already test the z5p in some VR headset in 4k resolution in some way.

If so, may be possible some comments about, in special if there some app that could be set in stereoscopic split view in 4k mode, so if posible play movies on VR headset taking advantage of high dpi screen for virtual cinema big screen.

I wonder if could be posible set the VR split screens, each one to 1080dpi, so it will make a really great VR resolution experience and wondefull use for the awesome 4k screen.

Thanks for further comments and best regards to all.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
4k is not supported on Android for now, therefore no compatible 3rd party apps. It will however be supported in the the next Android update, Marshmallow. Let's wait and see what that brings us.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiritoxda:
I mainly use my Z5P to watch 3D SBS format movies using VRTube and Colorcross headset, the resolution is so much better compare to my LG G3's 2k screen. You wont even notice the pixels. btw X-Reality and Super-vivid mode also works using VRTube which in my opinion makes the images more crystal clear. I've post screen shots on a different thread somewhere here of it working i don't remember which thread.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaser66:
Thanks for reply and great info, just got VRtune and would test with my DEFAIRY VR Headset, the app seems lots better than then others that I tested, but not already a long tests, since I receive my Headseet just few days before xmas, and had been somewhat busy...

Thanks again and best regards to all
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaser66:
That would be great... right now I dowloading the AICP 6.0 Marsmallow rom for my Nexus 10... wonder if it may continue settings that may get a clue about future support in Z5p....

Thanks and best regards.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansip87:
not yet a Z5p user but, the screen door effect should definitely gone by now, leaving only pure 1080p VR display. don't get me wrong, it's software wise 1080 but will be upscaled nonetheless to 2160 resulting slight bluriness (due to 1080p resolution) but more importantly, no screen door effect.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonshipman:
Do you have a source for 4K SBS? All I've been able to find have been 1080 SBS
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaser66:
Hi! And thanks for for take time to reply, well I do not know what is door effect (in video and vr stuff I am a really noob :p :D)... But I am mostly wonder about if with a root access to 4k resolution setting could be possible a VR app that may use 2 x 1080 frames for VR headset (or even at least 2 x 720 pixels frames due black surrounding spaces that seems needed by the proper VR eye lenses alignment) of the current generic VR and Google-Cardboard clones headsets uses... This wonder me because if with a standard 1080pixel phone screen the view is very nice, however the double screen frames for the lenses are really of low resolution,since with an 1080 pixels lcd screen of others phones, minus the black surrounding areas, the square frames that are set by the current VR apps shows somewhat pixelated views...

So If the double frame for a VR headset could be made on a Z5p even at 720pixels each frame, that would be great and at 1080 will be awesome view by far for sure...

Best regards to all. :)

I came across this headset:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ZEISS-VR-ON...=UTF8&qid=1454019315&sr=8-1&keywords=zeiss+z5

What do you guys think?

A more important question is, will we be able to use the Z5 Premium with Playstation VR?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaser66:
Hello!

Well, I dont know in deep a lot about VR PlayStation but as far I may understand, VR-PS is about a new Sony propietary VR headset, that includes its own internal LCD and cpu and low latency hardware (thus, so, means expensive...), for play PS games.

The Zeiss headset appears to be an some version of optical adapter for use with phones, like others OpticalVR headsets that are kind ofvclines of original Google-CardBoard VR concept, so, I not sure but almost, this kind of VR headsets may not be compatible with VR-PlayStation, at least that Sony make an app for such task with a phone and a optical VRheadset, bur I dont know if such app exists at least as far I know by now.

Since above, is that I wonder if the such great 4k resolution of Z5P could use with an VR app, for a 1920x1080 frame for each eye operation, with an OpticalVR set.

That is I may comment in hope that may help with your question.

Best regards to all. :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheyCallMeMrGlass:
Hi xaser, I upgraded to this phone specifically for its potential for virtual reality. I was disappointed to learn that I need Marshmallow to unlock 4k in third party apps (I'm on EE and it hasnt been rolled out yet :( ) but I can tell you without hesitation that watching my 1080p movies in SBS format is quite a joy on this phone. SDE is very minimal compared to my previous 1080p display phone (Samsung galaxy S5). Can still notice the SDE but its definitely not distracting as on my S5. But I never viewed through a 1440p phone to make any comparison to that res.

But I have a question for others. How can one monitor what resolution a VR video player app is running at? Is there a 4k, 2k, 1080p test SBS patterns that one could use to compare when loaded in an SBS app?

This phone has real potential for VR, its a crying shame that this 4k display is not hyped for VR. Nearly every review I see, all say, its a waste because one cannot discern the difference with a 1440p display, none of them think of VR!

In terms of processing power, the phone will surely struggle to give smooth VR but I discovered a couple of apps that enable remote desktop to a PC where you can play your PC games, blu ray films, and even Oculus Rift games streamed to the phone and the motion sensor of the phone emulates the mouse on the PC! I am still yet to explore that feature as I am now waiting for a new VR headset I ordered as my old one is kinda rubbish for my new Z5 phone in terms of its phone holder design as this Z5 gets bloody hot quickly and so the suction pad mechanism of my headset is pretty bad for it. I have a solution though for cooling it and that is to use re-usable gel packs.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1dave:
what VR headset works with z5p with bumper case?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ72:
The Z5P runs in 4K always (it's a 4K display afterall) it's just the content, unless viewed in the Sony apps, is upscaled from 1080p. You can upgrade this to 1440p using ADB and this will allow other apps to make use of that res, but until you go Marshmallow then you won't get any apps that can use 4K - and I doubt services like NetFlix will write 4K compatibility in to their mobile app just for us Z5P users.

I used the ADB trick to run at 1440p and 2160p and I have to say all I noticed was increased battery drain and laggy performance as the GPU couldn't really keep up with pushing 4k res all the time as well as it can upscaling 1080p.

To each their own, however.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheyCallMeMrGlass:
I am using Riem III VR headset which houses it fine. Most VR headsets appear to accommodate large phones. I have now ordered a Fiit VR which looks to be a better headset overall. Riem III is a let down with its suction pad blocking vent holes and lack of focal adjustment (though, the reason there is no focal adjustment is because its one of the few headsetsets that can fit over your glasses). The problem with wearing glasses and VR at the same time is that it narrows the field of view. So as a glass wearer, I would prefer having them off and have a focal adjustment on the headset.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Although I appear to have joined years ago, which surprised me, lol, I am very new here, and I am afraid I dont know what is ADB, can you point me to where I can learn how to run that trick?

Even if the 4K cant be achieved content-wise, I think the upscaling still betters other displays in VR mode due to less SDE and that's at least a very big plus. 1440p might be a nice sweet spot especially for playing 1080p movies in VR mode.

I'd still like to know how I can determine what resolution a picture or video is being played at.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJ72:
ADB is the 'Android Debug Bridge' which allows you to control your device from your PC including pushing apps, pulling files and other clever bits and pieces. It can be obtained as a small installation for PC by googling 'Minimal ADB'.

It runs on a command prompt interface, it will require you to open up developer settings on your phone and then enable 'USB Debugging' before it will work. If you don't know much about what you're doing then be quite careful as you can cause some issues if you're not. Google it and familiarise yourself with it - it's quite simple.

Once you've done that then have a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/z5-premium/general/changing-resolution-default-to-2k-root-t3282319 it explains the process and how it all pieces together. Note it is technically an emulated resolution, rather than changing the whole device to operate in 4K, however due to the display resolution of the screen they are effectively one and the same thing.

Hopefully that helps.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheyCallMeMrGlass:
Well in the end I never bother with ADP and just waited for the EE to roll out the Marshmallow upgrade which happily got pushed several days ago.

And wow, I have been enjoying watching my blu ray rips ever since. So using a VR Fiit headset (the best of its type that I have tried so far) with a 103 deg FOV, the CMOAR Virtual Cinema app and of course our Z5 Premium phone, you really can enjoy watching movies as a virtual cinematic experience with minimal SDE compared to lower resolution phones.

Now my next step is to purchase a bluetooth adapter for my Yamaha 7.1 AV system to see if its possible to immerse oneself in the virtual cinema whilst sound is fed to my living room AV/speakers.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jplempka:

I've got FreeFly VR headset and Xperia Z5 Premium. Previously had Xperia Z1.

Difference is huge, much bigger than I expected, and although apps are still rendering in 1080p resolution, there's no screen door effect anymore, and this really makes a difference. Everything just looks cleaner. Not sharper, but cleaner. For me this means waiting for second generation of VIVE/Oculus/PlayStationVR, which will have 4K screens instead of 2K at max.

Which one would you guys go for?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheyCallMeMrGlass:
I have now also got the BoboVR V4 and I have to say its even better than VR Fiit which I love. There are caveats though. The Bobovr v4 comes with its own permanantly fixed on headphones so you cannot use your own. Its decent enough sound quality but I would have preferred my own quality headphones. So you dont have that flexibility. The FOV is superb and noticeably wider than the VR Fiit. Lens are great quality. One issue is the nose is not padded, so it really hurts. So I modded my own padding in that region. But its great otherwise.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Now I have another query. I have got Marshmallow 6.0 on my phone. Can I now run apps in 4K? Can I even develop my own apps using the 4k display with say Unity which I am currently learning?

Do I have to use ADP to enable apps to use 4K (if the apps are coded to use it when available)?
