Nro [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] everything working fine here on V2. But setting apk meeds to change with V2 settings apk. Other things fine. If you able to do it, kindly appreciate your hard work. Always enjoy your mod here. Thnx
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Rajeev:
Well this time for this mod i get very less response from eXistenZ users compared to my old eXistenZ add ons. So no more updates for this mod. No time actually.. Sorry machan....

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Gek0320:
Thanks for great addon. I always liked your addons. I'm very sad about your decision not to continue this addon. Most people are just complaining about something than doesn't work. But if it works perfekt like your addon here, there will be less positiv response than expected.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] dennnic93:
is it compatible with 3.5? anyone already tried?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mutunas:
yes it is.

but the right order is: flash 3.0, flash addon, flash 3.5 (because some menus in settings will not appear in 3.5 if yo flash the addon after the 3.5).

only problem in this ordr is that setting menu will remain white...

No Existenz Menu..

:confused: Hello bro i have noticed something very unusual..Yesterday i flashed Niaboc bro's Existenz Marshmallow latest 4.7.0 ROM...Everything was working perfectly,then i found your latest black transformation pack for this ROM.Then according to your instructions,I flashed the V3 as the base and then updated it to V4...Wiped cache and Dalvik cache and then rebooted...Everything was okay until i noticed that the "Existenz" option is not there in the settings!I have used your mod for the Existenz lollipop rom but there was no bug like this but here i can no longer find the existenz menu.I've also had the existenz tile in my tiles list but pressing the tile doesn't work also! :( :confused:

I have tried rebooting the device and also restarting the system ui service but still no existenz menu..Can u plz provide a solution to this strange bug? :( :crying: Or Would i have to flash the Existenz MM rom all over again ? :(

After flash v2 on exsistenz v5.1, i think reboot option (to just reboot/recovery) is gone, and power option in exsistenz setting is gone too. Or it's not compatible yet for v5.1?

Everything else seems working just fine i think :)

Hi

I'm on 23.5.A.1.291 | Z3 | FINAL | eXistenZ Marshmallow | v5.6.5 | 27/09

since past many months o my Xperia Z3 6653 rooted and it was running great!

I followed your steps but when I flashed Version 1 i did Wipe Cache/Dalvik and forgot to reboot and instead immediately flashed version 2 and then shutdown and powered on.

I was happy that now the elements changed to black.

But what I observed was these major flaws which ruined my experience completely:

Items/Options which are no more:

Led control

Power menu

Display & Animations

Auto start

Also many options inside this eXistenZ menu have been moved inside other or shuffled where-in we need to restart systemui which previously wasnt the case.

And more to that, whatever elements i try to change even simple ones like battery or status bar, nothing is taking change even after a reboot.

I had gravitybox earlier but now even that has been removed completely.

Also, in Settings, eXistenZ options was seen under System tab and now it got moved under Personal tab.

In fact many items in settings seem shuffled here and there.

How to fix this??

Or if it cannot, then how to revert to old Light theme as previous.?

Original existenz/light theme:

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Beetle84:
Based off your post a year ago, you flashed everything while missing a step. Probably an important step.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] nri_tech1183:
That was all sorted there itself.

If you install this mod it screws up few settings thats for sure and there no rollover but to again flash the whole rom.

If not then at least keep an eye on the threads he created and answer there.

When they say "Installation from China ROM Methods" do they mean that people on Global ROM with unlocked BL can't install the ROM? I am wondering why it should matter and if it doesn't then why they specified China ROM.

Boot into recovery and factory reset, then try booting again

Sounds like the DATA partition got corrupted, or something installed to it did, flashing with ODIN doesn't wipe anything, so you'll still be bootlooped unless you wipe DATA / Factory Reset
